I'm just getting to know him, but I know you're gonna be incredibly blessed by him.
00:00:42.805 --> 00:00:46.298
But first, if you have not gotten my new book, missionary Millionaire, you wanna get it.
00:00:46.298 --> 00:00:50.493
Yeah, missionary Millionaire, it's a really cool title, but really it's a subtitle.
00:00:50.493 --> 00:00:59.490
That really is the message to the book Transforming Cultures as Precinct Kings that we have the heart of a priest that's a lamb, but we think with the mind of a king, and that's the lion.
00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:04.385
The gems are on the heart of the priests, but the gems are in the crown of the king.
00:01:04.385 --> 00:01:06.322
And so get it.
00:01:06.403 --> 00:01:07.686
Kendall, it's on Amazon.
00:01:07.686 --> 00:01:10.966
Kendall, it is also on Audible.
00:01:10.966 --> 00:01:12.243
I did it myself.
00:01:12.243 --> 00:01:13.028
It's my voice.
00:01:13.028 --> 00:01:14.424
So, yep, you gotta be able to hear my voice.
00:01:14.424 --> 00:01:16.706
But you can get all three on Amazon.
00:01:16.706 --> 00:01:22.046
And, trust me, people who are reading it, they're reading it 24, 48 hours and they're being naturally impacted by it.
00:01:22.046 --> 00:01:24.248
So make sure you go to Amazon to get the book.
00:01:24.248 --> 00:01:25.283
So all right, guys.
00:01:25.283 --> 00:01:33.688
So again, I'm super excited to introduce my special guest today, steve Tua, and I am so excited to have you with us here today.
00:01:33.688 --> 00:01:37.343
Steve, how is your day going on the other side of the nation, over there on the West Coast?
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:39.600
We're having a tremendous time actually.
00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:46.984
I just got back from a cruise, so I'm doing really, really well, but it's so great to be on the show with you, leigh-ann, Thanks for the invitation.
00:01:47.859 --> 00:01:53.766
Well, it's my honor, my pleasure and, for you that are watching or listening, we've had a couple of curve balls trying to get this together.
00:01:53.766 --> 00:01:57.390
So because of that, I know it's gonna be an amazing podcast.
00:01:57.390 --> 00:02:03.942
Lean your heart in, lean your ear in, and I know Steve's gonna have some really amazing kingdom nuggets to drop into your life.
00:02:03.942 --> 00:02:05.829
So see, let's just start off.
00:02:05.829 --> 00:02:11.945
You just recently wrote a book Free to Be Me and you can actually show the cover if you want, if you have a copy of the book right there.
00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:13.103
There you go everybody.
00:02:13.122 --> 00:02:14.747
Yeah, I love it.
00:02:14.747 --> 00:02:25.828
I love it, and so I want you to start and tell us about I'm sure you can give us some of your light in that book as you talk about the book, but tell us about the book and what's really the message of it.
00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:29.530
Well, people ask me, how long did it take me to write the book?
00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:38.389
And I said about 50 years, simply because it's been this journey into discovering the joy of who I am.
00:02:38.389 --> 00:02:59.288
And what I've discovered is that so much of our theology has actually caused us to feel like we're less than we're always feeling, that we're not measuring up to the standards or expectations that God has and we're totally not experiencing the love that really undergirds who we're supposed to be.
00:02:59.288 --> 00:03:03.544
And so when we're made in the image and likeness of God, what does that actually look like?
00:03:03.544 --> 00:03:13.463
Many of us know that as information, but when you're actually allowed to soak in, there is some incredible transformation, not just in terms of how you see yourself but how you do life.
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:24.366
And so this book, free to Be Me it actually is a self-help book I started back in 1991 doing under healing and deliverance and just in those days when people thought that was crazy.
00:03:24.366 --> 00:03:33.306
But as we journeyed along and I've, over the years, ministered to hundreds thousands of people, I've discovered a similar theme.
00:03:33.306 --> 00:03:48.045
People seem to wrestle with the same problems over and over again, and they keep coming for prayer over and over again, even though they've had deliverance and they got set free for a while, or they got some inner healing, they forgave and things like that, and it seemed to work for a while.
00:03:48.045 --> 00:03:54.145
But the fundamental issues don't change and having spent hours and hours with people, I realized it was the one thing.
00:03:54.145 --> 00:04:00.442
Until we can align with who God created us to be, okay, we will never know the freedom I often say.
00:04:00.442 --> 00:04:04.306
Freedom is when you're finally comfortable in the skin that God created you in.
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:05.663
Wow, that's good.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:16.725
You know, and so at that point the enemy can't take all of you, because now you are totally aligned with heaven, because before the foundation of the world he chose you to be blameless, holy.
00:04:16.725 --> 00:04:20.463
You're his workmanship, and so everything he does he doesn't make mistakes.
00:04:20.463 --> 00:04:21.687
You are actually perfect.
00:04:21.687 --> 00:04:31.745
Everything you need for destiny is already there, and so this book is really about helping you deal with the obstacles, the things that have kept you from seeing who you really are.
00:04:31.745 --> 00:04:43.745
Okay, and then discovering the joy and embracing and loving the person that God created you to be, and then, if you're like, launching yourself from that into destiny and purpose, and so that you become.
00:04:43.745 --> 00:04:56.466
You know, I often say if you're insecure going into the world, then you need the world to secure you, but if you are secure in who you are, then you become dangerous, because then the world has to conform to you and that's when you begin to bring transformation.
00:04:56.466 --> 00:04:59.464
That's what this book is about, and it's my journey.
00:04:59.464 --> 00:05:00.903
You know, for 32 years I didn't know.
00:05:00.942 --> 00:05:01.504
My dad loved me.
00:05:01.504 --> 00:05:12.505
My natural dad and I had two brilliant brothers, and I always compared myself to them Oxford Cambridge University graduates, and they were straight A, c, d, u, and so I was a C student.
00:05:12.505 --> 00:05:14.543
I just got C's all the time and I come from an A.
00:05:14.543 --> 00:05:17.567
I'm Asian, so they were Asians and I was a Cian.
00:05:17.567 --> 00:05:18.872
Okay, so it was.
00:05:18.872 --> 00:05:23.250
And so I always thought I was never good enough for my father.
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:28.809
But that was a perception, a lie, a deceit that would fundamentally undermine my identity.
00:05:28.809 --> 00:05:35.665
So, rather than knowing my value, knowing who I was and knowing my value, I had to start looking for it.
00:05:35.665 --> 00:05:39.564
Rather than knowing that I was loved, I had to start looking for it.
00:05:39.564 --> 00:05:42.468
I often say this if you know your value, you add value.
00:05:42.468 --> 00:05:48.805
If you don't know your value, you're gonna spend the rest of your life looking for it, which will take you away from your destiny and your purpose.
00:05:49.749 --> 00:05:50.310
Wow, wow.
00:05:50.310 --> 00:06:05.442
You know I was doing a women's conference in Houston a couple of weeks ago and towards the end the gal that was speaking, she was talking about the spirit of intimidation and I was sitting on the back row with one of the other speakers and the gal asked that was speaking, if you deal?
00:06:05.442 --> 00:06:09.363
And these women at this event were on their own businesses, they have their own ministries.
00:06:09.363 --> 00:06:12.764
I mean, these are women that you would look at and go, wow, they're successful.
00:06:12.764 --> 00:06:17.201
And so the gal speaking said if you struggle with this spirit of intimidation, stand up.
00:06:17.201 --> 00:06:18.064
I wanna break it off of you.
00:06:18.064 --> 00:06:20.387
95% of the room stood up and I was like.
00:06:20.387 --> 00:06:25.725
The other speaker was like we looked at each other, go, oh, there's a problem here and we find a lot.
00:06:25.725 --> 00:06:35.127
And if we are looking through the wrong lenses, I know for me I look through the lenses at God, through the lenses of my biological father, because I never knew my earthly father.
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.747
And until those lenses change and you look through the lenses of the son S-O-N.
00:06:39.747 --> 00:06:44.444
The sunglasses and you see God through his perspective, then everything will change.
00:06:45.019 --> 00:06:48.466
Absolutely, because everything really is about the mind and perception.
00:06:48.466 --> 00:06:49.966
We don't actually see through our eyes.
00:06:49.966 --> 00:06:56.810
We see through the interpretation of our brain, through what we see, and our experiences do that.
00:06:56.810 --> 00:07:07.745
I often say your identity is formed in six areas your parents, your generation line, authority figures in your life, significant relationships, your spouse, siblings or whatever.
00:07:07.745 --> 00:07:10.807
Your culture that's a huge one.
00:07:10.807 --> 00:07:15.394
And then your life experiences, and all those six things are speaking into who you are.
00:07:15.394 --> 00:07:27.668
Okay, and if at the foundation it's been distorted, then you will start interpreting everything with half glass empty rather than having hope and being filled with that.
00:07:27.668 --> 00:07:31.906
And so I totally get that and that's part of the intimidation, that fear.
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.149
I remember being in Taiwan a number of years ago.
00:07:35.149 --> 00:07:42.846
I was speaking at a conference, probably at 3,000, 4,000 people, and I asked them this question because we know that perfect love drives out fear, right?
00:07:42.846 --> 00:07:46.886
And I said how many of you in this room have ever heard your father say I love you?
00:07:46.886 --> 00:07:48.783
Okay, just put your hand up.
00:07:48.783 --> 00:07:53.127
I would say, out of 3, 4,000 people, six hands went up.
00:07:53.127 --> 00:07:56.141
Okay, no, all right.
00:07:56.141 --> 00:07:59.329
And I said well, how many of you in this room have ever had a meaningful hug from your father?
00:07:59.329 --> 00:08:05.177
It was the same six hands and, if you don't mind me saying, all of them were actually a Caucasian.
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.841
Ok, and so at that moment I realized there was a huge love deficit in this culture.
00:08:11.841 --> 00:08:23.358
Ok, and so when you begin to realize the enemy has done everything he can to keep you from knowing how to be loved because when you know that you're loved and you can be loved, everything changes.
00:08:23.358 --> 00:08:25.721
Ok, love is the most powerful force.
00:08:25.721 --> 00:08:33.046
So that's why I wrote this book, because I realized that this next generation can't be functionally driven.
00:08:33.046 --> 00:08:37.003
It has to be love driven, but that love has to be coming from your identity.
00:08:37.003 --> 00:08:39.241
One of my mentors, dr Ed Silvoso.
00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:44.240
He says if you are aligned to your identity, you have 100% return.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.961
Wow, and that's really what it is.
00:08:47.961 --> 00:08:53.620
If you align with who you are in heaven, heaven flows through you, heaven comes to earth, and this is what this book is about.
00:08:53.620 --> 00:08:58.027
This is about helping you discover exactly who God created you to be.
00:08:58.027 --> 00:09:02.437
Get yourself positioned, and so you can begin to see the very things that you've always dreamed about.
00:09:03.441 --> 00:09:06.900
Wow, I call that alignment for your assignment, identity, for your destiny.
00:09:06.900 --> 00:09:13.284
When you're like, you're saying, when you're in alignment, I mean it's done and you've got your assignment and your destiny put out before you.
00:09:13.284 --> 00:09:14.298
So I love all of that.
00:09:14.298 --> 00:09:14.681
I love it.
00:09:14.681 --> 00:09:16.662
So, friend, make sure you go and get.
00:09:16.662 --> 00:09:17.600
They can get it on Amazon.
00:09:18.095 --> 00:09:19.179
You can get it on Amazon.
00:09:19.179 --> 00:09:21.624
Hopefully the link will make the book give you the link to get there.
00:09:21.624 --> 00:09:23.660
But yeah, it's all on Amazon, yeah.
00:09:24.222 --> 00:09:28.205
OK, Perfect, so you can go and get Steve's new book when you To Be Me.
00:09:28.205 --> 00:09:29.922
So, all right, let's kind of flip it here.
00:09:29.922 --> 00:09:30.958
Flip the script a little bit.
00:09:30.958 --> 00:09:47.841
And you were in ministry for many, many, many years and then all of a sudden, like me, six years ago, but yours was quite a few years back got through into the marketplace and you are coaching very, very high-profile people now and you were sharing with me before we got on the podcast, what God is doing.
00:09:47.841 --> 00:09:52.057
So what is it like now to be in the marketplace and what I call it?
00:09:52.057 --> 00:09:52.961
I call it business stream.
00:09:52.961 --> 00:09:54.761
Then we have the ministry and the business.
00:09:54.761 --> 00:09:56.721
So we call it business stream and marry the two together.
00:09:56.721 --> 00:09:58.721
So talk to us about that as well.
00:09:58.721 --> 00:10:03.363
What is it like to be in that marketplace, that arena of the marketplace, in that sphere mountain, whatever.
00:10:04.134 --> 00:10:21.423
Well, you know, we've been in a movement that has talked about, quote unquote, the seven mountains or the seven spheres, and I have my own church, so I was preaching that from the pulpit, and it's safe to preach it from a pulpit because you have your safety zone.
00:10:21.423 --> 00:10:22.519
I know how to do ministry.
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:30.384
And then I was at a conference in Pasadena at Cheyenne's Church, and Bishop Bill Hammond, who's a prophet, was speaking.
00:10:30.384 --> 00:10:31.999
Now I haven't received.
00:10:31.999 --> 00:10:32.682
It was interesting.
00:10:32.774 --> 00:10:36.400
I had not received a major prophetic word from a major prophet in 20 years.
00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:45.740
The first word I had was 1993, with Graham Cook, and he prophesied eight pages straight over me, which has been the blueprint of my life.
00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:57.317
And then in 2012, 13, I get picked out four times in one day, and Bishop Bill Hammond was the first one and he said to me you don't know whether to be a preacher or a businessman.
00:10:57.317 --> 00:11:04.221
And then he starts prophesying all this stuff about miracles in the marketplace and up to this point I've never done anything in business.
00:11:04.221 --> 00:11:06.260
And so I was thinking he was a false prophet.
00:11:06.260 --> 00:11:10.620
I thought he was a false prophet and I'm thinking this guy's crazy.
00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:15.081
And then he says at the end of June you're going to be released, and I had just recently come to California.
00:11:15.654 --> 00:11:29.981
I was working for a ministry and they had offered me a salary, actually, that they couldn't afford, and so it was in the midst of the economic tsunami, and so they were struggling, and I found out I was earning 60% more than anybody else, and I was like I didn't know how that happened.
00:11:30.894 --> 00:11:34.961
And so at the end of June, my boss came to me and he just said, steve, we've got a problem.
00:11:34.961 --> 00:11:41.803
And then I realized this is what Bishop Bill was speaking about, and so we arranged a transition.
00:11:41.803 --> 00:11:45.421
I realized the Lord was saying, ok, it's time to move from a six-figure salary to zero.
00:11:45.421 --> 00:12:22.984
But the very first group that I ministered to I went to Hong Kong was to 80 business people, and in that group there was somebody who was the paparazzi poster boy for LGBTQ and he had just got saved, but he still was dealing with all the issues that he was running with, and I spoke on identity and the father's love, and he cried for 48 hours through the whole thing, and at the end of that moment he asked if he could have a session with me and we ended up together, and I'm not interested in whether he's gay or not gay or whatever.
00:12:23.195 --> 00:12:27.923
I'm just interested in who he is and I just asked him how did you get into fashion?
00:12:27.923 --> 00:12:44.322
He was Asia's top fashion designer at the time and he basically told the story of how, at the age of seven, he was trying to put clothes together because his helpers at the house were showing him how to sew and he just loved it and he loved textures, colors and everything.
00:12:44.322 --> 00:12:52.863
He started making clothes for his GI Joe, clothes for his sisters, barbie dolls and then he then made this beautiful ball ground that he put on a Barbie doll to give to his mom for his birthday.
00:12:52.863 --> 00:12:59.559
And he was so excited to do that that he went into his dad's office to say look what I've made.
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:05.640
And his dad looked at it, ripped the dress off, shredded it and say no, son of mine is going to do a girly thing like that.
00:13:07.674 --> 00:13:12.860
And in that moment that love deficit, that male love, that he and that identity got stripped from him.
00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:19.224
And so I took him back to that moment and I said would you just invite Jesus to come into that moment?
00:13:19.224 --> 00:13:22.662
And he starts laughing and I'm saying, well, why are you laughing?
00:13:22.662 --> 00:13:41.419
And he goes because I see Jesus and I say, yeah, but this is a difficult moment he was seeing himself with a broken toy and ripped up dresses and he said no, no, jesus has come with a host of angels playing trumpets like jazz, and there's confetti going on, fireworks going off, and I'm thinking this is crazy.
00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:41.881
I'm going OK.
00:13:41.881 --> 00:13:49.206
So I said could you ask Jesus, is this how he's introducing himself?
00:13:49.206 --> 00:13:51.864
And so he says Jesus, this is how you're introducing himself.
00:13:51.864 --> 00:13:53.501
And Jesus looks straight in the eye.
00:13:53.501 --> 00:13:54.001
He says no.
00:13:54.001 --> 00:13:56.461
He says I'm here to celebrate you.
00:13:57.514 --> 00:13:58.239
Wow.
00:13:58.815 --> 00:14:02.701
And in that moment he fell into my arms and bore like a baby for three hours.
00:14:03.115 --> 00:14:06.024
I mean, my shirt was covered in tears and snot.
00:14:06.024 --> 00:14:18.437
It's the most anointed shirt that I think I've ever had and literally he left the room with beaming from ear to ear and he, basically, a week later he types me.
00:14:18.437 --> 00:14:18.957
It's a Steve.
00:14:18.957 --> 00:14:36.503
This might sound crazy to you, but I've just fallen in love with a woman and we do the alpha group together and all this sort of stuff, and all of a sudden, I've never had a feeling for a woman before and there was this transformation that took place.
00:14:36.503 --> 00:14:41.140
Now they didn't end up being together I just want to be upfront with that because they weren't compatible ultimately.
00:14:41.140 --> 00:14:50.702
But he said when, a few years later I was talking to him, he said if you could ever imagine that I was looking to get married and have a wife and children, I would have thought you were crazy.
00:14:50.702 --> 00:14:53.302
But Jesus comes and changes the identity.
00:14:53.302 --> 00:14:58.140
But this business man opened the door to tons of opportunities.
00:14:58.140 --> 00:15:02.303
And then, about a year later, I met my first billionaire.
00:15:04.054 --> 00:15:11.879
I was in Singapore, I was speaking at a church and a friend of mine just invited me to have lunch with him afterwards and we were having street food.
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.740
I don't know if you've been to Singapore, but they're famous for their street food.
00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:19.580
In fact, I was wearing flip-flops of shorts and a polo shirt and I had spilt some sauce on my shirt.
00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:23.818
And he gets a call and he looks at me and says I have a friend, would you mind praying for him?
00:15:23.818 --> 00:15:25.456
And I said sure, and he goes.
00:15:25.456 --> 00:15:35.703
He doesn't tell me he's a billionaire, so he takes me to I don't know if you've seen the movie Crazy Rich Asians, but he takes me to that whole place, 84th story of this skyscraper.
00:15:35.703 --> 00:15:36.345
Doors open.
00:15:36.345 --> 00:15:42.801
It's the most beautiful office I'd ever seen and I'm dressed the way I am and I'm thinking what am I doing here?
00:15:42.801 --> 00:15:58.404
These double doors open and there's this New Zealander who's in an Italian tailor-made suit and I'm thinking I'm so out of my depth at this moment and my friends said would you pray for a month?
00:15:58.404 --> 00:16:01.467
I'm looking at him and saying don't you ever do this to me again, right?
00:16:01.467 --> 00:16:05.234
And so I close my eyes and I immediately have a vision.
00:16:05.234 --> 00:16:10.951
I see a picture of a massive oil rig, 12 small oil rigs and little tank is leaving the oil rigs.
00:16:10.951 --> 00:16:23.392
And I look at them and I said this is what I think the Lord's trying to say to you you are this massive oil rig you were designed to make money and these 12 oil rigs are your champions and you're going to fuel these champions and they're going to fuel others to change the world.
00:16:23.392 --> 00:16:24.687
That's what I said.
00:16:24.687 --> 00:16:26.966
He looks at me and says thank you, and that was it.
00:16:26.966 --> 00:16:30.113
And next day I never see him again.
00:16:30.345 --> 00:16:32.813
A year later, I get a phone call from my friend.
00:16:32.813 --> 00:16:35.072
He said do you remember the guy you prayed for?
00:16:35.072 --> 00:16:35.527
I said yeah.
00:16:35.527 --> 00:16:45.115
He says he wants you to come and coach his entire executive team and I said well, I said I'm a counselor, I'm not a coach.
00:16:45.115 --> 00:16:49.750
He says he knows that, but he says you're wasted in the church, you're needed in the marketplace.
00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:53.830
You don't know the wisdom that you carry and that you are a.
00:16:53.830 --> 00:16:56.149
I'm a headhunter and I know talent when I see it.
00:16:56.149 --> 00:17:00.708
And I'm looking at him going I don't know what you're talking about here, because you know.
00:17:00.708 --> 00:17:05.070
And so he says he knows you would say this, so this is how much you would pay you.
00:17:05.070 --> 00:17:11.207
And he put this figure on the screen with the largest figure I've ever seen, and I went OK, I'm not going to pray about it, I'm just going to go.
00:17:13.944 --> 00:17:15.049
And he said I'm going to pray about it.
00:17:15.109 --> 00:17:17.971
yes, and he said and, by the way, he wants you to wear a suit.
00:17:17.971 --> 00:17:19.208
So it was.
00:17:19.208 --> 00:17:38.055
So, anyway, I turn up there and I'm in this room with all these executives you know, like a dozen executives in this beautiful boardroom, and the billionaire walks in and he says a year ago, I told you about this guy who gave me two minutes of insight, ok.
00:17:38.055 --> 00:17:44.949
And he says the next day I changed the entire policy of the company based on those two minutes, and you've seen the results.
00:17:44.949 --> 00:17:48.093
And I'm like I don't even know what happened.
00:17:48.093 --> 00:18:00.107
And so what had happened was he had been worth $5 billion, ok, and he was a Christian and he wanted to change his end systemic poverty, health care, education issues, and he was poor on all his money.
00:18:00.107 --> 00:18:01.172
But he was losing it all.
00:18:01.172 --> 00:18:06.920
And within three years I think it was he was worth $2 billion instead of $5 billion.
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:12.971
And then, while he was away, all his people in the company were taking advantage of his money, all sorts of stuff.
00:18:12.971 --> 00:18:21.712
So when I met him, he hated his own company, ok, and so when I gave him the word, he suddenly realized he had disaligned out his identity.
00:18:21.712 --> 00:18:40.323
He was trying to be the 12 champions, ok, and as a result, he realized he needs to get back to who he was, and so he then, as a result, changed everything, got back to who he needed to be, reshifted and reinvented his company.
00:18:40.323 --> 00:18:47.867
And then he brought me in and he said now I need you to align my executives with heaven.
00:18:47.867 --> 00:18:53.196
Okay, basically, and so over the next, for the next two years, we were working.
00:18:53.196 --> 00:18:54.903
We just saw major transformation.
00:18:54.903 --> 00:19:05.065
So he created two funds one was secular and one was kingdom and the secular fund two million people in Bolivia got water that they never had before from one champion.
00:19:05.065 --> 00:19:15.063
Another champion was a micro banker who he funded in Myanmar for farmers in Myanmar, and within one year, all those farmers made a hundred percent increase in income.
00:19:15.063 --> 00:19:23.460
And so that champion there, who's also a believer, then got asked to be part of the advisory board of the Myanmar government of economics.
00:19:24.061 --> 00:19:46.020
Okay, on the Christian side, he had found champions where 2.9 million people had heard the gospel, 6.9 million people had heard the gospel, 2.6 million people got saved, 150 pastors had been traded in Africa and 58,000 churches have been planted just by finding these champions.
00:19:46.020 --> 00:19:46.857
And that was in two years.
00:19:46.857 --> 00:19:57.317
Okay, and what it was was just aligning into identity, coming to his destiny, realizing he didn't have to do all the hard work that he was doing things he wasn't called to.
00:19:57.317 --> 00:20:07.538
And when he was able to find that, it just kind of everything just began to take off and he just put the first passenger plane in the air with that fuel.
00:20:07.538 --> 00:20:10.541
Okay, through magnetic energy last year.
00:20:10.541 --> 00:20:19.358
And that was another prophetic word that I haven't got a prophetic story to tell you, but I won't get into it right now and it's just, I mean, I don't know how many billions he's worth now.
00:20:19.820 --> 00:20:22.057
Okay, but that was my start.
00:20:22.894 --> 00:20:31.419
He gave me five years with him to ex and the Lord said this is a five year laboratory for you to discover how the kingdom works in the marketplace.
00:20:31.419 --> 00:20:34.683
And I had to detox myself from Christian language.
00:20:34.683 --> 00:20:45.162
I had to detox myself and realize that most people are really you know, it says in Romans the whole of creation is waiting in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
00:20:45.162 --> 00:20:46.679
They just want to find the real Jesus.
00:20:46.679 --> 00:20:49.465
They don't want religion, they don't want all the jargon, they don't want to.
00:20:49.465 --> 00:20:54.880
They don't want to go somewhere to get Jesus, they want Jesus to become to them.
00:20:54.880 --> 00:21:15.359
Okay, and so I've had to rediscover and reinvent who I am In fact, from doing 99% of the stuff in the ministry in the church 90, but 98% of what I do now is in the marketplace and I have over 30 clients around the world, all high net worth clients.
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:26.845
And now I've started my own coaching company for organizational leadership with 15 coaches, called Insight Out, and all that came from just that little story.
00:21:26.845 --> 00:21:28.602
Anyway, I'm rambling on a little bit, leah.
00:21:28.835 --> 00:21:33.241
No, this is like I'm just like, and ah, like just hearing you.
00:21:33.241 --> 00:21:48.385
It's like like you know, see, there's so many people I just want you to talk up to this there's so many people out there that are hearing your story, getting to hear your story, and say I feel called to do this outside of the church.
00:21:48.385 --> 00:22:02.619
Now, of course, again, I call it ministry, but they, you know, they feel like they're called to more than just pastoring and I don't mean to diminish pastoring, that's that or evangelism, or worship, lead or whatever, a prophet or whatever.
00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:17.202
And they're so confused because of the way we've been raised or the way the churches operated for many, many years, of separating the pulpit from the CEO desk, you know, or the pulpit from the city council chambers, and they're in such confusion.
00:22:17.202 --> 00:22:19.020
Can you talk into that real quick?
00:22:19.382 --> 00:22:36.345
Oh, absolutely, and this is where my relationship with Dr Edsel Vosso has helped me, because he wrote this book Anointed for Business, and what he basically helped me understand is that actually the people in the marketplace are your congregation, so in other words, you're the pastor of your sphere.
00:22:36.345 --> 00:22:46.565
They may not know you're their pastor, but you know that you are, and so you minister to them, you meet, you bless them, you meet their felt needs, you prophesy to them.
00:22:46.565 --> 00:22:53.541
You know, by with edification, exhortation, comfort, all these things that you do and they were, because people respond to love.
00:22:53.541 --> 00:23:03.520
You know when I talk about identity, right, identity is understanding your value, worth and significance, and the orphan spirit is always looking value, worth and significance.
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:08.298
And 99% of the world is operating with an orphan spirit because of what happened before.
00:23:08.298 --> 00:23:19.759
And so when you start speaking, if you can imagine every conversation you have you leave somebody feeling that their value and their worth and significance has been spoken into.
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:32.278
Okay, it leaves them with hope, faith and love and in that place, whether they believe or not believe, they can't get enough of it, because we've been conditioned, we've been created for love, and so what happens?
00:23:32.318 --> 00:23:35.583
Just going back to your question, sorry, I guess getting sidetracked a little bit.
00:23:35.583 --> 00:23:39.077
That pulpit, the pulpit and the marketplace need to be together.
00:23:39.077 --> 00:23:45.660
Okay, I mean, if you think we talk about billion soul revival harvest, they're not gonna fit in the local church.
00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:47.698
Okay, I mean, think about it.
00:23:47.698 --> 00:23:49.538
You can't build buildings big enough for that.
00:23:49.538 --> 00:23:52.563
They have to be done very organically in.
00:23:53.536 --> 00:24:00.967
Again, just read a book called Ecclesia by Itzalo Voso and it just I really believe that revival is gonna be in the marketplace.
00:24:01.075 --> 00:24:06.964
You're gonna have clumps of people being saved in that place and you think you're an ordinary person.
00:24:06.964 --> 00:24:24.942
No, you're gonna do extraordinary things because, next thing you know, you can actually have congregations bigger than your own local church because of what you're doing in the marketplace, because people see the anointing, the favor, the blessing that's on you, but the way that you, the culture of heaven that's flowing through you, the alignment of heaven, is gonna change their lives.
00:24:24.942 --> 00:24:43.641
And so for those of you listening, just realize, try and understand that God's trying to break you out of your box, okay, where we think everything has to happen within a building, and realize you are the building, okay, yes, yes, you are the one who creates the environment for people to come into that.
00:24:43.641 --> 00:24:46.844
And I often say what is your life speaking?
00:24:46.844 --> 00:24:55.378
Because your life is speaking is your culture, and if the culture that's coming from you is heaven, it's gonna be infectious, it's gonna be dynamite, it's gonna transform everything.
00:24:56.281 --> 00:24:56.903
Wow, wow.
00:24:56.903 --> 00:25:05.039
You know we were talking before we jumped on a recording here that Jesus used 12 entrepreneurs at the beginning to turn the world upside down.
00:25:05.115 --> 00:25:06.180
He did not go to the priest.
00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:11.839
He did not go to the church because he knew that they weren't gonna get the job done, so he went to business people.
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:16.986
Because I say all the time that pastors don't know how to network you have your denomination, I have mine.
00:25:16.986 --> 00:25:18.359
You have your worship, I have mine.
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:20.280
You have your programs, I have mine.
00:25:20.280 --> 00:25:21.921
You do your thing, I'll do mine.
00:25:21.921 --> 00:25:23.586
Let's see how that goes.
00:25:23.586 --> 00:25:25.578
And it hasn't okay, it hasn't worked out at all.
00:25:26.634 --> 00:25:31.619
But people in marketplace, not a network who got your website, man, it's really cool.
00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:33.161
And where do you do your advertise?
00:25:33.161 --> 00:25:37.085
I mean, they will come in network, but pastors won't.
00:25:37.085 --> 00:25:51.482
And so, like you said, I really believe in the end times that God is using the marketplace ministry to turn the world right side up, cause everybody's going into a business, everybody's using people are not going to churches, but they'll walk into businesses all the time.
00:25:51.482 --> 00:25:55.396
That and the government mountain I really believe that's the two mountains, the two spheres.
00:25:55.396 --> 00:25:58.740
These are really gonna use to turn things right side up, and we need it at both big time.
00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:03.220
So in our last few minutes we have here what does that look like?
00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:13.288
And this may be repetitive, but what does that look like in this time that God is gonna use the marketplace to really impact people's lives.
00:26:14.536 --> 00:26:30.662
I think if we look at what's happened in the world, I mean with the pandemic and the economic tsunamis that we've had, and just the shaking, I mean we see inflation at a ridiculous rate, we're having supply chain issues, we have unemployment issues, all these different things, labor things.
00:26:30.662 --> 00:26:32.461
What's happening in the marketplace?
00:26:32.461 --> 00:26:33.298
It's being shaken.
00:26:33.298 --> 00:26:40.902
When you're not secure and who you are, if you're being shaken, you become more insecure.
00:26:40.902 --> 00:27:22.645
Okay, and I believe God is shaking all things up, okay, for a reason because it's going to expose the systems of this world and that the greed of this world, the self-interest of this world, and it's actually we have the opportunity to come in and I believe, when I talk about the marketplace, I want to see the transformation of the marketplace with a new culture, opposing the self-interest greed issues to the place where it's taking, to the place where we're giving, where we're serving, where we're actually using our wealth to transform the world, as opposed to just make ourselves wealthy and happy and luxurious.
00:27:22.645 --> 00:27:37.731
Okay, and I believe that there is a commandant that God is calling kingdom entrepreneurs right across the board right now, to begin to move from just being there, I said, from being kingdom companies to kings companies, and what I mean by that?
00:27:37.731 --> 00:27:38.778
Wow, I like that.
00:27:38.778 --> 00:27:39.696
Okay, because.
00:27:39.696 --> 00:27:43.105
So my coaching company is what I call a king's company.
00:27:43.105 --> 00:27:53.315
A kingdom company is where there's a believer who says I'm a Christian and I want to live this business with kingdom principles and everything else.
00:27:53.315 --> 00:27:56.044
That's great, but you still own the business.
00:27:56.044 --> 00:28:00.926
A kingdom king's company is where 51% of the profits belong to Jesus.
00:28:00.926 --> 00:28:06.903
Okay, and so in our company, 51% immediately is going into the kingdom.
00:28:06.903 --> 00:28:10.474
Okay, because Jesus, this is your company, first and foremost.
00:28:10.474 --> 00:28:22.586
And if you could imagine, if you had 100,000, 500,000 companies that would do that, and the amount of wealth that is channeled in the right places, what it could do, wow.
00:28:22.586 --> 00:28:30.755
And when people see the transformation, it will break the systems of this world and create something that the world will become jealous of.
00:28:30.755 --> 00:28:45.134
And we are, as kingdom people, we're sitting on a gold mine and we've got to shake ourselves from conforming to the patterns of this world and start thinking about what would look like if heaven invaded the marketplace, heaven invaded government.
00:28:45.134 --> 00:28:49.654
Okay, because I mean, look at America right now with the politics and everything that's going on.
00:28:49.654 --> 00:28:51.855
It's horrible, okay.
00:28:51.855 --> 00:29:01.474
And yet we need the Josephs and the Daniels to start coming into these places and saying what would heaven look like if it came into this place right now?
00:29:01.474 --> 00:29:06.361
And I've just seen heaven invade so many secular situations.
00:29:07.185 --> 00:29:08.653
Okay, have you got time for a quick story?
00:29:08.653 --> 00:29:30.001
Yeah, I was just recently with a businessman who got majorly betrayed by his previous partners and things like that, and not a believer, and you could see the bitterness, the anger, the resentment, the hatreds rooting into him what we would call a bitter root judgment, you know, in the kingdom.
00:29:30.001 --> 00:29:37.492
And so I was helping him understand that this bitter root that he was holding on to was the only person that was really affected was him.
00:29:37.492 --> 00:29:40.815
Okay, and then, if you didn't let it go, it would be difficult.
00:29:40.815 --> 00:29:42.153
Now we would say the word forgiveness.
00:29:42.153 --> 00:29:45.394
I just said I want to teach you how to let it go.
00:29:45.394 --> 00:30:02.755
Okay, and as I explained, he suddenly began to get this revelation Holy Spirit was good, just how he was actually destroying himself through this, okay, and so I took him through this exercise and said I want you to see the people that have hurt you, okay, betrayed you in front of you and you could see them all.
00:30:03.219 --> 00:30:04.751
I said, okay, tell me the first feeling that you have.
00:30:04.751 --> 00:30:08.494
And he goes I feel absolute rage.
00:30:08.494 --> 00:30:10.494
I said, okay, can you feel the rage?
00:30:10.494 --> 00:30:12.526
He said, yeah, I want to take all of it, put in a trash bag.
00:30:12.526 --> 00:30:17.825
And so, until it's all gone, until you've got all the rage in there, so he started putting it in.
00:30:17.825 --> 00:30:20.633
He says there's not enough room for the trash bag, so get another one.
00:30:20.633 --> 00:30:22.493
So we ended up with three trash bags.
00:30:22.493 --> 00:30:25.474
And so what else do you feel?
00:30:25.474 --> 00:30:26.201
I feel so rejected.
00:30:26.201 --> 00:30:28.843
I said, okay, feel that rejection put in a trash bag.
00:30:28.843 --> 00:30:35.940
By the time we finished with all these different things, from anger to rage, to rejection, to hatred, to disappointment, all these things.
00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:38.906
He had about 26 trash bags in front of these people.
00:30:38.906 --> 00:30:43.304
Okay, and I just said, okay, would you invite the fire?
00:30:43.304 --> 00:30:49.287
Okay, to light that trash bag up and see it go, because you don't want it anymore.
00:30:49.287 --> 00:30:50.097
I don't want it anymore.
00:30:50.915 --> 00:30:57.185
So he said fire lighted up, okay so he immediately in his mind could see all these trash bags light up.
00:30:57.185 --> 00:31:07.108
And then I said would you just say to the people that you said I'm no longer going to give you the joy of getting under my skin and I'm going to let you go and I release you?
00:31:07.108 --> 00:31:10.544
Okay, yeah, and so he does that.
00:31:10.544 --> 00:31:13.090
And then I said would you just do one last thing for me?
00:31:13.090 --> 00:31:15.615
And he said sure, I said there's probably a lot of residue still on you.
00:31:15.615 --> 00:31:23.348
Would you just ask that same fire just to consume anything that's left in you, so that you can be at peace?
00:31:23.348 --> 00:31:26.203
As he says okay, fire, would you just consume it?
00:31:26.203 --> 00:31:30.544
And immediately this guy is shaking on Zoom.
00:31:30.544 --> 00:31:35.903
I'm on the Zoom, no, shaking, wow, he pulls, he literally pulls off his chair.
00:31:35.903 --> 00:31:39.421
Okay, no, and there's tears going down his eyes.
00:31:39.421 --> 00:31:51.954
He's shaking, and this is going on for about seven, eight minutes, okay, and I'm watching this and all I can see is his hands on the top of the screen just going like this, and then, at the end of the seven minutes, you can see it dissipating.
00:31:51.954 --> 00:31:52.933
He pulls himself up.
00:31:52.933 --> 00:31:57.134
He looks at me at the screen and he said what the beep was that?
00:31:57.134 --> 00:32:10.074
Okay, and he just had, literally just, encountered the Holy Spirit and he said I feel so free, I feel like I feel so light.
00:32:10.115 --> 00:32:16.095
Okay, and in the coming conversations, the sessions that we had, he just kept referring to it and he said what was that?
00:32:16.095 --> 00:32:18.211
And I said that was a God moment.
00:32:18.211 --> 00:32:20.294
Okay, he knew that I was a person of faith.
00:32:20.294 --> 00:32:24.054
I thought that may as a God moment for you and maybe you need to investigate that a bit more.
00:32:24.054 --> 00:32:25.152
And he said, maybe I need to.
00:32:25.152 --> 00:32:36.594
I'll do that at some point, but I'm seeing heaven wants to come in, he wants to invade, he wants to encounter people even before they know him.
00:32:36.594 --> 00:32:40.847
Okay, you know, after this, for God so loved the world.
00:32:40.847 --> 00:32:42.373
It wasn't for God so loved the church.
00:32:42.373 --> 00:32:44.160
Okay, he loved the world.
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.983
He loves the world and its fallenness and its brokenness.
00:32:46.983 --> 00:32:53.098
Not that he loves the brokenness and fallenness, but he loves the people in there and we have to love them the same way that God loves them.
00:32:54.622 --> 00:32:56.509
Wow, I am just so blown away.
00:32:56.509 --> 00:32:58.184
This has just been amazing, steve.
00:32:58.184 --> 00:33:02.522
So let's do this Again.
00:33:02.522 --> 00:33:09.467
You that are listening or watching, please go get Steve's book Free to Be Me, research him, listen to his podcast.
00:33:09.467 --> 00:33:12.249
I mean, get more of this, because I'm taking it in.
00:33:12.249 --> 00:33:17.686
I'll tell a quick story and then I'm going to, then we'll I'm going to have you pray for our listeners and our viewers.
00:33:18.121 --> 00:33:29.488
But I was on my way to Sri Lanka I don't know, a few years ago, probably about six or seven years ago I had a team with me and we had gone into Doa and then we had four hours left before Doa into Colombo, sri Lanka.
00:33:29.488 --> 00:33:35.086
And then I knew when I hit the ground, it was in the morning, we were landing and they had a full day of ministry ready for me.
00:33:35.086 --> 00:33:41.607
Well, I thought, well, I'm sitting in business class and I'm just going to kind of close my eyes for four hours and I want to talk to anybody, just want to be there.
00:33:41.607 --> 00:33:48.625
And so I sit down and soon enough we were taking off and the guy next to me says we just start the conversation.
00:33:48.625 --> 00:33:50.267
He's like so what do you do?
00:33:50.267 --> 00:33:51.579
I wasn't going to tell him it's a pastor.
00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:56.288
I was a pastor at the time, because I knew you know, and I said, well, actually I work for my dad.
00:33:56.288 --> 00:33:58.532
He says you do, and I said, yeah, I work for my dad.
00:33:58.532 --> 00:34:00.765
I said, man, he's amazing, I love working for my dad.
00:34:00.765 --> 00:34:16.085
And I just began to brag on my dad, god, and we talked for like three hours and he was from Holland and he did banking business in Sri Lanka and and he told me he just thought if he was a good person then he would just that's what he needed to be on our earth.
00:34:16.085 --> 00:34:17.989
And whatever happened never happened.
00:34:17.989 --> 00:34:25.525
But after three hours of talking he said I have never, ever, ever met anybody that talks about God the way you do Never.
00:34:25.525 --> 00:34:35.827
And I just think that you know learning those different things and, as you're working with all of these people and coaching them, you know learning a different language and not turn a burn or get right or get left or whatever.
00:34:35.827 --> 00:34:37.211
You know, that's what I was raised on.
00:34:37.681 --> 00:34:41.625
It's a good old Baptist years ago you know, I know where you've been coming from.
00:34:41.826 --> 00:34:57.862
Yeah, and and just really because they'll know your mommy, because you love, not because you're judging, not because you're telling them you're going to burn, you know, if they don't turn, but to really win, like Esther, daniel and Joseph win their heart, and I feel like if you win their heart and you can do that, then you can begin to change the way they think.
00:34:57.862 --> 00:35:01.965
So many of us go after the mind instead of the heart, and Jesus went after the heart.
00:35:01.965 --> 00:35:03.528
So this is amazing.
00:35:03.528 --> 00:35:03.949
I love it.
00:35:03.949 --> 00:35:04.190
I love it.
00:35:04.190 --> 00:35:05.333
So let's do this.
00:35:05.333 --> 00:35:10.800
Can you just pray whatever the Holy Spirit puts on your heart to pray for our listeners and our viewers?
00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:13.547
before we close up here, yeah, I'd love to do that.
00:35:13.547 --> 00:35:14.230
Thank you, leigh Ann.
00:35:14.230 --> 00:35:22.443
Father, we thank you that, before the foundation of the world, you chose us, you created it, you molded us.
00:35:22.443 --> 00:35:26.771
Everything that we needed to fulfill our destiny was placed in us.
00:35:26.771 --> 00:35:35.889
We are not mistakes, we are not absent of anything, because you have everything already in there, and all you want us to do is to come into alignment and partner with you.
00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:42.099
And so, father, I pray for all those listening right now that they would come into the alignment and the joy of their destiny.
00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:46.490
They would learn how to embrace and love who they are rather than fight what they think they are.
00:35:46.490 --> 00:35:54.427
And, lord Jesus, I ask for your breakthrough, your freedom, so that we can be comfortable and aligned in the skin that you created us to be.
00:35:54.427 --> 00:35:59.670
Because, lord Jesus, the moment we do that, our vessel is open and the Spirit of God can fill us.
00:35:59.670 --> 00:36:08.927
And so, holy Spirit, fill us with insight, fill us with power, fill us with vision and I speak to those right entrepreneurs right now.
00:36:08.927 --> 00:36:34.005
I just speak courage not to be conformed to the patterns of this world, but allow your minds to be transformed and renewed, to begin to think like heaven, breathe like heaven, act like heaven and operate with heaven's bank account, and so that you would begin to see the favor and the joy and the transformation that God can do in and through you, for your family, for your community and the sphere of your influence.
00:36:34.005 --> 00:36:36.331
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:36:37.664 --> 00:36:38.628
Oh, that was amazing.
00:36:38.628 --> 00:36:46.947
