00:00:07.408 --> 00:00:13.996
All right, what's up everybody, and welcome to the unlearned podcast.

00:00:13.996 --> 00:00:23.349
This is freedom Friday, where we are going to talk about something that we have unlearned recently, right, I know you're used to seeing Ruth Abigail on freedom Fridays.

00:00:23.349 --> 00:00:26.161
She's let me join the fray, ok.

00:00:26.161 --> 00:00:30.140
So we're going to have this going to be a little encouragement corner, all right.

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:36.274
So I'm going to get in on some of these so that we can just continue to talk about what we're unlearning as we go.

00:00:36.274 --> 00:00:48.466
Friends, right, god is doing so much, so much is happening, and he's moving swiftly, and that's exactly what I want to talk to us about today the swift hand of God moving in our lives.

00:00:48.466 --> 00:00:55.652
Right, because it is definitely something that has has has had me unlearning in these streets, right.

00:00:55.652 --> 00:00:59.094
So first, I want to thank all of you listeners.

00:00:59.094 --> 00:01:01.277
Our community is growing.

00:01:01.277 --> 00:01:14.385
We love having you guys, we love talking to you guys about everything that we've been unlearning, both in our 20s, now in our 30s, and we want you to be a part of the community officially, okay.

00:01:14.385 --> 00:01:18.677
So if you have not yet, please like, share and subscribe.

00:01:18.918 --> 00:01:19.879
Okay, let's get into it.

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.245
I want to speak specifically to those of you that have been waiting.

00:01:24.245 --> 00:01:31.475
Right, we have all had a season somewhere in our lives where we have waited on God to do something.

00:01:31.475 --> 00:01:34.028
We've waited on something in our life to change.

00:01:34.028 --> 00:01:47.861
We've waited for something to shift, whether that was relationally right, whether that was financially okay, because everybody has waited for a check, everybody has waited for a financial increase right, whether that's.

00:01:47.861 --> 00:01:51.150
You're waiting for something to shift in the lives of people around you.

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:54.510
You're waiting on God to do something miraculous.

00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:57.930
You're waiting on God to do something that's going to blow your mind.

00:01:57.930 --> 00:02:05.194
You're waiting on the things that you've petitioned the Lord for, right, and oftentimes, in a season of waiting, we build routines.

00:02:05.194 --> 00:02:08.085
We build routines that make us comfortable.

00:02:08.085 --> 00:02:24.812
We build routines that make us feel like we're making progress toward those things that we've been asking God for, and a lot of times, our routines keep us in the space that we're in and they're preparing us for where we're going, but they are not the breakthrough point.

00:02:24.812 --> 00:02:25.433
Right?

00:02:25.433 --> 00:02:28.445
Your routine is a place for you to learn.

00:02:28.445 --> 00:02:30.711
Your routine is a place for you to grow.

00:02:30.711 --> 00:02:33.887
It's a place for you to get established, right.

00:02:33.887 --> 00:02:40.705
But your routine will not get you to the place that God has destined for you to get to at your next level.

00:02:40.705 --> 00:02:52.390
Right, and so I feel like, in this 2025 moment, we're all getting to a space where God is requiring us to break routine in order to get to the next level.

00:02:52.692 --> 00:03:05.657
Right, and sometimes breaking routine can look like you got to change your mindset about something, right, you're used to talking negatively about everything, or you're used to being really constructive, right, and picking apart everything, right.

00:03:05.657 --> 00:03:09.711
Right, it might be changing your attitude, right.

00:03:09.711 --> 00:03:22.033
I've been telling people I've had to turn my mind off with the things that God is doing right now, because I know that my mind will talk me out of where he's trying to push me to, right.

00:03:22.033 --> 00:03:23.826
So it might be your thought patterns.

00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:38.536
It might be your attitude, right, you might be a person who's used to just being, you know, being nonchalant about things being laid back, being casual, going with the flow, because that is the routine that you have built to keep yourself on the level that you're at.

00:03:38.536 --> 00:03:52.655
But, friends, here's where I want you to start doing the unlearning we are going to have to in this next season unlearn the routines that have kept us stuck at the place that we're asking God to deliver us from.

00:03:52.655 --> 00:04:03.235
Okay, and I'm not saying that you're in a bad place, right, a lot of us are not in a bad place, but God does not want you to settle for good when he has best right.

00:04:03.235 --> 00:04:07.764
He doesn't want you to settle for decent when he has amazing right.

00:04:07.764 --> 00:04:24.406
And so when we're trying to get to these levels of amazing, we are going to have to break the routines right that keep us at good enough right, and I want to talk to you specifically about the way I've been seeing God do that in my life.

00:04:24.425 --> 00:04:29.362
Okay, friends, so I'm in this new process where God is literally bringing me out of one space and delivering me into another.

00:04:29.362 --> 00:04:31.646
I've been asking him and asking him.

00:04:31.646 --> 00:04:33.971
I told you guys that I had an hour commute.

00:04:33.971 --> 00:04:37.403
I've been asking God like I need to get closer to the school.

00:04:37.403 --> 00:04:38.927
The Lord is make.

00:04:38.927 --> 00:04:42.401
Literally, the Lord is allowing that to happen for me.

00:04:42.401 --> 00:04:53.281
But what I want to tell you guys is is that the point of your deliverance is not going to happen at the point of your complacency, the pace of it, right.

00:04:53.281 --> 00:04:57.990
God is going to have to shift you when it says that he will redeem the time.

00:04:57.990 --> 00:05:08.884
The way that he redeems it is that he has to come in and he has to rush you into the next phase of your life, it's not going to happen at the pace that you're at now.

00:05:08.884 --> 00:05:09.526
Right.

00:05:09.526 --> 00:05:24.476
So if you're used to making fast decisions and you're used to go, go going because that's the routine you set, it may be that the Lord will set you down, settle you down and slow you down in order to move into the next season of your life.

00:05:24.476 --> 00:05:25.060
Right.

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:51.505
If you're like me and you're used to carefully considering all of the details and all of the facts and all, and trying to understand every little bit of something, right, because that is the routine that you have built in order to be comfortable where you're at, the Lord is going to literally pick you up and put you on the speedway, right To get to where you're going.

00:05:51.505 --> 00:05:55.766
Right, but God is going to break your routine.

00:05:55.766 --> 00:05:58.009
But let me tell you something right?

00:05:58.009 --> 00:06:00.213
The Bible says I'm in Malachi.

00:06:00.213 --> 00:06:02.850
Come with me, friends, to Malachi, I'm in Malachi.

00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:06.762
The third chapter, the 10th verse, is oftentimes talked about for tithing.

00:06:06.762 --> 00:06:09.466
Right, because it specifically talks about tithing.

00:06:09.466 --> 00:06:15.353
It says bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me.

00:06:15.353 --> 00:06:15.754
Now.

00:06:15.754 --> 00:06:30.632
This is the part I want to get with here, with saith, the Lord of hosts, which is the Lord of the armies, the Lord of the battle right, the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, I want to focus on that windows, friend.

00:06:30.632 --> 00:06:31.632
Listen.

00:06:31.632 --> 00:06:33.113
That window.

00:06:33.113 --> 00:07:16.675
We are finding ourselves at a specific time, at a specific place with a specific set of instructions that are going to get us from our good to our never could have imagined they're going to this specific time and this specific place and this specific set of instructions are going to get us, for I can settle for this to the Lord, I can't even believe that you love me this much to do this for me.

00:07:16.675 --> 00:07:19.360
Right, it's a window.

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:31.394
And there is a window coming, friend, where the things that you've been waiting for are going to come for you suddenly, because God is going to open the window from heaven and it's going to pour out into earth.

00:07:31.754 --> 00:07:36.420
What I need you to be ready to do is to be ready to unlearn.

00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:49.552
Whatever mindsets, whatever attitudes, whatever structure you've built up that has allowed you to stay complacent and has allowed you to stay comfortable.

00:07:49.552 --> 00:07:54.161
I need you to quickly take that off and and whatever you need to do for me.

00:07:54.161 --> 00:07:56.517
I told you I had to turn my thoughts off.

00:07:56.517 --> 00:07:57.944
I was like you know what?

00:07:57.944 --> 00:08:02.016
I'm not even going to think about it, I'm just going to do whatever it is the Lord told me, right?

00:08:02.016 --> 00:08:03.810
I was like Peter jumping out of the boat.

00:08:04.050 --> 00:08:09.797
Now I will tell you once I got out on that boat, out of the boat, I did look at the wind and the waves and I was like wait a minute, lord.

00:08:09.797 --> 00:08:10.577
What are we doing?

00:08:10.577 --> 00:08:11.939
What is happening?

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:21.076
But I promise you, if you want to get to the place where you see the manifestation of the things you've been asking for, it is time.

00:08:21.076 --> 00:08:27.211
Turn off the routine and allow God to open a window to get you somewhere new.

00:08:27.632 --> 00:08:36.025
Okay, listen, friends, we're unlearning and we're getting into our blessed place all 2025.

00:08:36.025 --> 00:08:51.634
Ok, go through the window, get in position, get in the place that God tells you to get to get the right mindset, because there is a window that will come suddenly and God is going to change your pace to get you there quickly.

00:08:51.634 --> 00:09:02.159
All right, listen, friends, I cannot wait to hear the testimonies of the windows that you see God opening in your life this week and all year long.

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.298

00:09:04.298 --> 00:09:05.475
