Speaker 1: 0:58

Sisters and brothers, it's time to start dreaming. Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast. Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better? Do you wanna avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health? Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do? Hi, we're Charity and I need to resell Christ. Followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food. We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes. So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living. The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard. You just need the way. That's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived. If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place. So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those ear buds and let's get started. Hello, sunshine, we are so glad to have you back with us today.

Speaker 2: 2:18

Listen if you have Welcome back.

Speaker 1: 2:20

Ha ha ha. I'm glad you got that in there. You know, sometimes I get on a roll and I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2: 2:25

Listen, I step back because you know Spirit has taken over. You're delivering a message and I don't want to interrupt that.

Speaker 1: 2:32

But I know he gives you messages, so you need to be sharing those messages too, I do. Beep, beep.

Speaker 2: 2:37

I do. Sometimes those messages are carnalities. Sometimes they are carnalities, but not always.

Speaker 1: 2:43

Well, this is going to be. I always tell Jared y'all this is so funny, I'm gonna give you a little inside scoop on what goes on around here. We get ready to do the podcast episode and I always say to Jared this is gonna be a quick one. You know why I say that. I really do believe in my heart. It's not gonna take a long time because I've got my notes and I think. But then, like Jared said, holy Spirit takes over or we just get fired up because we love you, we wanna help you get the success you need. We are here for you. We are so here for you getting well and living in your freedom and your fullness. And sometimes I get wound up a little bit and so it takes us longer and we end up sharing way more than we ever planned. And I'm not worried about over sharing y'all. Maybe you haven't noticed, but our podcast episodes contain a lot of useful and step-by-step strategic information and business leaders will tell you don't tell people the how, just tell them the why, why you need to get started. We're not gonna show you how We'll hold all that back for the inside. Well, we're able to tell you and share with you and show it with you a lot more inside our paid programs, inside our course that's coming up and it may already be released by the time you're listening to this and inside the membership. Why? Because of sheer time, we have more time in there with you. We can walk you step-by-step in a foundational way so that you're set up for these huge wins. But there's no reason to not give it to you now. I tell you the things that can give you these wins. You've got to start gaining momentum and getting wins. So we're not holding things back from you. Yes, we can give you more sequential things and take you by the hand and say, okay, do this, do this, do this and answer your questions, and we're there to coach you. We can't do that through the podcast, right, but we can give you big pearls and big tools. We don't believe in holding those things back from you, because you are children of God and you need to know what to do and you need to walk in freedom and the enemy lies to you too much and you hear it all the time and we got to squash that stuff right now. So here's the thing You're gonna go back and listen to episode 265, if you haven't heard it and then you're gonna listen to this. Pause right now, listen to it and then come back and finish this episode. Okay, now I know that you're not trying to trick me and you're listening without listening to 265.

Speaker 2: 4:53

If you are, technology's gone, so good, we know, we know.

Speaker 1: 4:58

We are watching. No, seriously, you gotta listen to it. Just listen to it. Now, what I want you to do is answer this question Where's your notebook? Where's your notebook, your dream notebook? You know, the one I mentioned in that last episode, how I talked about you need to start writing down your dreams and dreaming dreams and having God show you what to do. I'm not talking about pulling stuff out of thin air like, well, I think I might like to. Well, maybe, get into the word. Are you spending time in the word? You know, in Proverbs, when God starts talking about wisdom and understanding, one of the Hebrew words is umbilical cord Having your umbilical cord attached to him. It's like a tight rope that's woven. Yeah, I'm a nurse. I worked in maternity and with newborns I saw what the umbilical cord looks like. It's like a stranded rope that's wound together and it gives strength in life. That's where the nutrients come for the baby from the parent. So that Hebrew word, meaning umbilical cord, is like understanding. Well, in order to understand what you're supposed to do in the future, you have got to have the cord attached to the father. You've got to have life flowing from him to you. People are busy waiting. Okay, y'all, I'm getting wound up. I'm so sorry, but I love you too much to keep from you what is truth. You've got to be attached to the father.

Speaker 2: 6:14

I have a direct connection.

Speaker 1: 6:15

Yeah, to get the life flowing through you and the ideas. How are you going to dream dreams and know what you're supposed to do? You're just going to try to. I'm just going to brainstorm and brain dump and whatever ideas I come up with. That's the business I'm going to start, or that's how I'm going to help people, or that's how I want to serve and give my time. No, you need to plug into the thought. There's a lot of good things you could do. What are you supposed to be doing? And this all comes after you're feeling better. But you start dreaming. Now you start feeling a little better. You got two favorite meals under your belt, three favorite meals under your belt. You're going to start feeling better. You're going to have more energy. Use that little bit of new energy. You have to pick up that notebook that you went to the store and bought because I'm telling you you've got to have a dreaming notebook. I want you to get a dreaming notebook. If you're a man, then make very masculine, nice notebooks. Get you one.

Speaker 2: 7:03

But make sure it's when you love. Get you a binder maybe.

Speaker 1: 7:05

Yeah, make sure it's one you love, though. I see masculine notebooks, binders, whatever you want to call it. Whatever it is, get it. Women, get one you like. I'm not talking about go to Walmart and buy one that you don't like how it looks, and it's the cheapest one you can find. Your dreams are worth investing in.

Speaker 2: 7:20

Start investing in yourself right now Something special, something set apart.

Speaker 1: 7:24

It lights you up when you pick it up. You like how the outside of it looks, you like the feel of it. Wait, don't wait forever, but find the right one. Don't pick up the first one you see, because are the cheapest one. Get the one that is this is going to have your dreams in it. Start spending time with God. I'm not talking about amassing knowledge. We live in a Greco Roman society where people are all about amassing knowledge. There's a word called schmaw. In most translations it is translated listen or hear my child here, hear me here here.

Speaker 2: 7:55

Listen to me.

Speaker 1: 7:56

Right. And so in Greek we think, oh, here he's saying here, listen, give him an ear. No, the word means here and do here and do it. Never in Hebrew thought never would they separate learning or hearing or receiving an instruction from doing it. Okay, so if you're tied into God and he's your lifeline and you're spending time learning and you're amassing knowledge in his word, look, you could go to Bible college your entire life. You could be a pastor amassing knowledge who never walks in relationship with the father. You were born for relationship with him. You spend time with the person to develop a relationship and grow it right. We've got to do the same thing with the father. This is not about checking off a block and doing a Bible study. I'm talking about getting to his word and asking him to wipe clean all doctrinal things you believe. That may not be true. There's some doctrinal things that are true Absolutely, but I guarantee you there's been some lies planted in there that need to get out. Just say father, help me to dream your dreams for me. And in order to do that, I know I need to understand who I am as your daughter, as your son, and start looking for what he says in your word. People say all the time I just need a word from the Lord. I'm waiting and praying and waiting for a word from the Lord. You have a thick book on your bedside, on your shelf, filled with His word. If you don't by all means get one, pray for one. He'll bring you one. If you don't have the means to buy one, pray for one and He'll bring you one. You'll get His word. There's free word online. If you're online right now listening, get online and look up a free version. I don't care what version it is right now. Just get into His word. Ask Him, ask somebody you trust that can tell you what's a good version of the Bible, a solid version. Get into His word. Okay, and this is your bread. His word is the bread of life. Okay, you need the bread of life. Man does not live by bread alone, Neither does woman. Yes, it is so important to eat the whole plant foods, absolutely 100%, but you gotta have something you're building on in your life that is the true bread. These are the things that are going to last. So why did Jared and I spend so much time teaching about what you need to eat in your body? Because you can't live the life he called you to live when you were sick. You know, I asked God that a long time ago. I was on the phone with a friend I remember out on our balcony when we used to live in Panama City Beach, and I was standing there talking to her and I said I don't know why he's called, but why not something more significant Like why aren't we teaching the word or why aren't we doing this or that? She said, anita, we don't even have the energy to make room in our life to hear what God's saying or to do what he tells us to do. When he says to do it, if our bodies are sick, we've got to be well and healed to feel like doing it, to have the mental clarity to process what he's telling us, those types of things. So it is so important that you plug into His word and you get that download from Him, not to amass knowledge. Not to amass knowledge, but to grow in relationship to Him, fall in love with Him. Fall in love with Him. How, if you loved somebody and you met a member of the opposite sex and you were falling in love, would you spend time with them to build the relationship? You've got to have time with that person, to build the relationship. So don't just read it. Spend some time afterwards talking to Him. What are you telling me here? Please, father, show me what you want me to know. Speak to me. He will start speaking to you. He will absolutely start speaking to you, 100%, I have no doubt. Get your dream book, start writing down the dreams. What dreams do you have for me, father? I don't want to dream my own dreams. I want your will and your way in my life. I want my body to be healthy and well, like you want me to be. He wants His people to be well. It's biblical. You want me to be well, father, and you've led me here and you're showing me how to heal my body. Now come into my spirit. Show me how to get what you've shown me through Holy Spirit into my soul, into my thoughts, my mind, into my emotions how I feel and into my will, into what I desire to do. Help me desire to do the things that you've called me to do and help me to know what those things are. And you're gonna start writing in that dream book and you're gonna fill up that dream book and you're gonna have so many things he's gonna show you. It is gonna be amazing. So listen, get the dream book. Get it, because as you start taking these steps that we're showing you, he's gonna take you on a journey that is going to be beyond your wildest dreams. You're gonna have opportunities to meet people you would have never been able to meet before, who will help you to see your dreams become a reality and who will help you to lead other people to freedom that they may never have had or you wouldn't have had the blessing of helping them achieve their dreams.

Speaker 2: 13:38

Or maybe he's given you dreams that you didn't think were possible, so you dismissed it. Those are too big, too lofty, or I just can't because of my current condition? Yeah, because I'll never feel like Tap into that again.

Speaker 1: 13:48

Well, and because my doctor has told me that I won't ever feel better because I'm gonna have this diabetes forever, do you have to have the diabetes forever? Maybe not. We're talking about type two diabetes. Type one's a little bit different, but still, that can greatly improve. I mean, there are some really amazing guys that have a podcast about that.
