Spirit-Centered Business™

This 3-part series with Dan has been one of my favorites for his “WOW” factor!! He has been taking authority from Father’s Kingdom to bring His will on earth as it is in heaven for decades…in a totally unique way.  Dan is the ultimate "Kingdom Renaissance Man." He's a painter, sculptor, musician (playing 52 instruments!), and prophet—all while painting with both hands. Talk about a heavenly level of multitasking!I’ve met a lot of “prophetic” painters and creatives, but Dan definitely takes the cake! His “ministry” to the capitol city of North Carolina is second to none. You will love this series!  Be sure to check out his websites and YouTube channel to see his art and him in action. It’s fabulous!!BIO:“I failed the very first assignment of my academic career…”On DAY ONE of kindergarten I colored the balloons instead of counting them.The artistic itch was already that strong. Undaunted by such inauspicious beginnings, I went on to win a string of prestigious awards:2nd Place, National Safety Poster Contest!3rd Place, Local Pumpkin Carving Contest!1st Place, Small Town Window Painting Competition (against a bunch of kids roughly half my age, as it turned out.)Naturally, such accolades kept the itch going, so I went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from a small college in the Midwest. My real education, however, took place during the 15 or 20 years when I sat at my desk 50 or 60 hours a week drawing whatever the telephone (ad agencies, mostly) told me to draw.Most Americans would have stumbled upon my work at sometime during the 80's or 90's-- in restaurants and sporting goods stores, at summer camps and public libraries, from IBM to hospitals and book covers to billboards. "I'm really famous," I used to tell my kids, "just nobody knows it."Three forces conspired to make me the artist that I am today:1) The joy of creating,2) Clients with deadlines,3) The threat of starvation.I now spend most of my time as a “Fine Artist”— which essentially means you don’t get paid for your work. (Until it sells.) I paint cityscapes a lot; I paint my hometown a lot. (Raleigh, North Carolina, USA)  I nearly always paint with an audience, live or on my Youtube Channel. I love painting weddings and fundraising events and engaging with the crowd…they’re just drawn to my show! HIGHLIGHTS:Governing Over a CityDan isn’t just an artist; he’s spent over 27 years prophetically governing Raleigh, North Carolina, through his gifts. His work isn’t limited to a canvas—it flows into city-wide transformation and speaks into events, lives, and spiritual atmospheres.Breaking Out of ChurchianityDan's journey from traditional "churchianity" to a deeper understanding of walking in the Spirit is a game-changer. His realization that pastoring isn't the pinnacle of serving God revolutionized his life and allowed him to embrace his artistic and prophetic calling.Holy Spirit Activation"Once I got the memo that God still talked, I said, 'By golly, I'm going to listen.'"  Dan describes his baptism of the Holy Spirit as a life-altering, "violent, bloody, and effective" encounter. He let go of his reliance on intellect and embraced the supernatural, marking a shift into hearing God clearly and journaling divine downloads—literally while running marathons!Theology of CitiesOne of Dan’s revelations is about the spiritual significance of cities. God began speaking to him about the theology of a city and how it ties into biblical principles like the Sermon on the Mount. This insight lays the groundwork for understanding how we can spiritually steward and impact urban environments.Pastor the City, Not Just the Pulpit"If you have a heart for your city, get out from behind your pulpit and go to where the heart of the city is." Translation: True transformation happens when spiritual leaders engage directly with their communities and cultural epicenters—think apostolic strategy, not just pastoral care.Run the Streets, Hear the Spirit"You learn things on foot... you sense spirits you can't in a car."Pro-tip for prophetic creatives: slow down, embrace the physical journey, and let God download revelations about your environment. (Bonus: Roll down the windows for spiritual drive-bys!)Burn the Old to Birth the New"Shut down your church and worship Me in the square."Sometimes, radical obedience means dismantling old structures to pioneer new ways of bringing heaven to earth. The risk? High. The payoff? Transformative, Holy-Spirit-led movements that redefine "church."Art as a Kingdom Catalyst"I built an 8x10-foot canvas on wheels, complete with sound and lights."Marketplace ministry isn't just about preaching—it's creating art, tools, and environments that amplify the Kingdom message in creative, unforgettable ways.Holy Ghost Smackdowns Build Legacy"We worshiped every Saturday, rain or shine, and the presence of God was so thick we couldn't quit."Consistency + obedience = supernatural impact. Whether it's art, business, or ministry, showing up faithfully opens the floodgates for divine encounters and cultural transformation.Breaking Through the Spirit of "No"Dan’s journey highlights the power of persistence and divine direction. The "spirit of no" had a stranglehold on the city, but he persisted in faith to reclaim and transform the space. Marketplace ministry takeaway? Be bold and willing to break through opposition, because God’s plans always come with provision and purpose.Sound, Light, and the SupernaturalDan’s unique combination of painting, music, and spiritual authority demonstrates how creativity can shift atmospheres. His layering of sound and light—paired with Holy Spirit anointing—shows that the arts are more than just self-expression; they’re tools for transformation in spiritual and physical realms.Prophetic Rebuilding of a CityThe literal tearing down and rebuilding of the city’s center aligns with prophetic dreams Dan received. This is a vivid reminder that God moves in both the seen and unseen, using marketplace leaders and creative visionaries to birth renewal and revival—even in urban planning!Playing for Heaven’s Audience"I’m not even playing for you. You keep walking. I’m playing for God, angels, and demons."  Dan’s commitment to play and paint for God, rather than people is a beautiful picture of pure ministry. He wasn’t seeking applause or approval but focused on releasing heaven’s sound and creativity. A powerful example of marketplace ministry done for an eternal purpose, not fleeting recognition.From Street Ministry to Fine Arts LegacyTransitioning from a public street setup to becoming a celebrated fine artist shows how God elevates faithfulness. By following divine assignments through different seasons, Dan moved into a place of influence and impact in the fine arts world—demonstrating that marketplace ministry thrives in all industries when led by the Spirit.LINKS for DAN:- Dan’s Website: https://dannelsonart.com/- YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@dantheartman?si=3WXMId62lss4JSwt- Literally the World’s Best Wedding Painter: http://Weddingpainter.comLINKS for BRALYNN:- Coaching for Business and for Healing: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com- Get Bralynn’s Book!

n this episode Israel shares some of his signature processes with us. He starts with nuggets that are solid gold for anyone transitioning from corporate to running a kingdom business, and ends with powerful strategies to find your purpose. In case you missed part 1, make sure you go back and catch it. Don’t miss anything Israel shares because he is a true gem in Father’s Kingdom, and he’s ROCKING it in the marketplace!!BIO RECAP:Israel Duran is a sought-after business growth partner, speaker, and trainer who empowers purpose-driven leaders and corporate organizations to build profitable, impactful ventures. Many of Israel’s clients, including corporate partners, now achieve multiple seven, and even eight-figure revenues, thanks to his transformative business strategies rooted in servant leadership. His mission is to help leaders leverage their skills and knowledge to create sustainable businesses that drive positive change while staying true to their core values.Discover Your "Message-to-Market" Sweet SpotYour business thrives at the intersection of your experience, education, and expertise—what you’re called to release to the world and what people actually want. Nailing this sweet spot ensures you're building something purposeful and profitable. Bonus: When you align your work with your worship, it’s not just a job—it’s a calling. Systems Build Wealth (Yes, Even Heavenly Ones)Forget the "God will take care of it" approach. Even divine plans need solid systems! Whether it’s funnels, workflows, or even meditation routines, your systems are the foundation. As James Clear says: “You don’t rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.” Truth bomb, right? The 3 M’s of Business Growth: Maker, Mistakes, MentorsIsrael credits his growth to his Maker (faith), mistakes (learning curves), and mentors (wise guides). The takeaway? Leverage all three—pray, learn, and listen to those who’ve walked the path before you. Support: Stop Flying SoloChristian entrepreneurs, hear this: Me, myself, and I is not a scalable strategy. Build your executive team and structure support systems for your clients and yourself. The right people + processes = kingdom-level impact without burnout.Speaking is Your SuperpowerWhether it's a TEDx stage or a Zoom room, speaking unlocks growth. Not sharing your message? Your business might be stuck because your voice is silent. Start with smaller stages if you’re new, but remember—your inheritance often flows through the stage. So get out there and share your brilliance! 🎤✨A Coach is Not There to Do, but to EmpowerTrue coaching is about guiding others to become the person they need to be to achieve their goals—not doing the work for them. Think of Jesus coaching Peter to cast the net; He didn’t fish for him, but gave the direction for success.Know Your Lane: The 4 Levels of ServiceThe breakdown of coach, consultant, strategist, and advisor is a game-changer for understanding roles in service-based industries. Each level offers distinct value: coaches empower, consultants solve problems, strategists implement plans, and advisors align vision with intuition.Defining Your Purpose The 4 Questions of Purpose to reveal clarity:What do you love? (Your gift)What do you hate? (Your mission to destroy)What makes you cry? (Where you bring joy)Who or what annoys you? (An enemy of your purpose, often tied to pride)Destiny is in the DetailsPurpose isn’t found by copying others (cue the Saul’s armor analogy). Instead, it comes from seeking personal revelation—picking up your own “stones” to release what’s uniquely yours into the world.Pride: The Ultimate Purpose BlockerPride is the kryptonite of purpose. Jesus washing Peter’s feet wasn’t just humility in action; it was a lesson in receiving impartation by letting go of pride—a powerful reminder that humility opens the door to purpose-driven impact.LINKS for ISRAEL:Find all his brilliance here: https://israelduran.com/Join his Service of Speaking 5-Day Challenge: Jan 6-10, 2025 https://www.serviceofspeaking.com/reserve-now- Buy his books: The Service of Speaking and Money Management Mindsethttps://israelduran.com/#1LINKS for BRALYNN:- Govern Like a King enrollment is now open!

Hello World Changers! I’m excited to introduce a new friend, Israel Duran, and dive into this powerful conversation. Have you ever felt like you were made for more but weren’t quite sure how to step into it? Like you have all this potential, but something's holding you back? Well, you’re not alone—and today, we’re going to unpack what it takes to truly align with your purpose, position yourself for success, and partner with God to bring His plans to life.The SCB podcast is beginning it’s SIXTH year, wow! Thank you so much for sharing this journey with me. Along the way I’ve been so blessed to connect with incredible people like Israel, whose wisdom and Kingdom-minded strategies are helping believers just like you build businesses and lives rooted in purpose. He has this unique way of breaking down biblical principles into actionable steps, so you can walk boldly in your assignment and create real, lasting impact.Get your pen and paper because he shares some powerful teaching points you will want to keep!BIO:Israel Duran is a sought-after business growth partner, speaker, and trainer who empowers purpose-driven leaders and corporate organizations to build profitable, impactful ventures grounded in servant leadership. With expertise in business, finance, and the art of meaningful communication, Israel has inspired thousands of entrepreneurs and corporate teams worldwide. His mission is to help leaders leverage their skills and knowledge to create sustainable businesses that drive positive change while staying true to their core values.Using his 3-step proven framework, Israel accelerates business growth by aligning each client’s purpose with actionable strategies for success. Known for unlocking potential and bringing clarity to ambitious visions, he teaches leaders how to design and deliver solutions that resonate. Through his guidance, corporate teams and individual clients alike are positioned to profit with purpose.Many of Israel’s clients, including corporate partners, now achieve multiple seven, and even eight-figure revenues, thanks to his transformative business strategies rooted in servant leadership. For visionary leaders and organizations ready to grow their impact through business and speaking, Israel Duran is the partner to help them achieve growth grounded in integrity, clarity, and purpose.HIGHLIGHTS:Your Story Is Enough: Vulnerability and authenticity break chains and create transformation—not perfection. Share your story to serve others. “The highest level of service is speaking.” Speaking up with courage and authenticity can catalyze generational impact. Your voice may be the answer to someone’s prayer.Clarity of Purpose: Discovering the unique problem you were created to solve and aligning your business or mission with that purpose. Israel’s story highlights a profound truth: your purpose is not just about you—it's about who you impact and serve. The concept of aligning identity and calling with community is a cornerstone in executive coaching today.Kingdom Alignment: Prioritizing spiritual principles in your work and seeking first the Kingdom of God to ensure divine alignment. Whether it's in a corporate boardroom or a spiritual context, being “on one accord” is the game-changer for success.Identity Anchored in Calling: Inspired by Dr. Myles Munroe, Israel reframes identity not just as who you are but as what you’re called to bring to the table. “Identity is the highest mountain and the highest peak. Everything flows from identity.”  Knowing who you are in God and in your brand sets the foundation for success. Without clarity in identity, there’s no consistency in life or business.Spiritual Sensitivity Sparks Transformation:  Israel’s near-death experience heightened his awareness of God’s presence and the transformative power of listening to the “still, small voice.” “God will send a catalyst to shake things up if you stay too comfortable.” Stop waiting until you feel ready. Break free from imposter syndrome and excuses—release your gifts to the world now.Execution with Excellence: Taking inspired action and committing to consistent, high-quality execution of your God-given assignments.Overcoming Fear with Bold Faith: Fear of failure, rejection, or looking foolish will keep you from stepping into faith-driven action, including praying for healing or speaking publicly.Multiplication Mindset: Expanding your influence by equipping others and creating systems that multiply your impact.Living in Overflow: Operating from a place of abundance and joy, where your work brings glory to God and blesses others.LINKS for ISRAEL:Find all his brilliance here: https://israelduran.com/Join his Service of Speaking 5-Day Challenge: Jan 6-10, 2025 https://www.serviceofspeaking.com/reserve-nowBuy his books: The Service of Speaking and Money Management Mindsethttps://israelduran.com/#1LINKS for BRALYNN:Govern Like a King enrollment is now open!

I’m so excited to have you join me for this conversation with my new friend Amy Lykosh. If you’ve ever wondered how to blend your spiritual life with your business, you’re in the right place! I’m a firm believer that prayer isn’t just for our personal lives—it’s a powerful tool for the marketplace too. Whether you’re navigating big decisions, facing challenges, or just trying to keep your heart in the right place, prayer has a way of opening doors and giving us clarity we didn’t even know we needed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           We’re diving deep into how we can invite God into our businesses and our lives in the most practical, down-to-earth ways.

After all, businesses are where the money’s made, and if we want to see real change in the world, we’ve got to start by praying over the places where that change begins.So grab your coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing), get comfy, and let’s dive in.BIO:Amy Joy Lykosh is an author, mentor, and entrepreneur with a passion for prayer in the workplace.

Natalie and I continue the dive into some pretty transformative topics in this episode.  We’ve talked about the power of pausing in God’s presence—those “Selah” moments that give us a chance to breathe, reflect, and really connect with what matters most. Just being at rest in your own lane can bring the Light of the Lord wherever He’s called you to be.  If you missed part one, go catch it—you’ll be inspired by Natalie’s story!  BIO RECAP:Natalie Lavelock is a dynamic leader in the spiritual arena of business. Her unwavering mission is to empower Kingdom-minded coaches and speakers to fulfill their God-given mandate in the Marketplace. Her apostolic authority and shepherd's heart empower individuals to activate their dreams and achieve success.Natalie's book, 'Leap of Faith,' achieved Amazon Best-Seller status across six categories, attesting to her unmatched expertise. Guided by principles of Faith, Courage, Excellence, Collaboration, Leadership, and Truth, Natalie's work radiates with integrity and authenticity, as she partners with the Holy Spirit, creating a sacred space where Kingdom-focused coaches and speakers align with Heaven to elevate their businesses and fulfill their divine mission on Earth.HIGHLIGHTS:Lead with Faith: The power of letting go and trusting God with your message. This isn’t just about speaking; it’s about leading with faith and letting divine guidance steer the ship. #FaithDrivenLeadershipCompassion Over Condemnation: When people put up walls, it’s often because of past hurts. Natalie emphasizes the importance of approaching these situations with compassion rather than judgment, opening doors for deeper connections. #EmpathyInLeadershipBe the Lighthouse: Be willing to share your message, even in places where it might not be well-received. It’s about shining your light in the darkest corners and standing firm in your truth. #CourageousLeadershipEmbrace Secular Stages: Natalie isn’t afraid to bring her message to non-Christian audiences. It’s not about staying in your comfort zone; it’s about taking your mission where it’s needed most, even if it’s outside familiar territory. #BoldMovesBe a Beacon: The moment Natalie heard someone speak about a God-given mission in a secular room, it was a game-changer. It reminded her—and us—that sometimes, you’re the light in the room for someone praying for exactly what you have to offer. #PurposefulLeadershipRecovering Perfectionist Club: Letting go of perfectionism is a game-changer. Perfectionism might fuel your drive, but it can also burn you out. #ProgressNotPerfectionThe Reluctant Rester: Natalie coined the term, and it’s a keeper! Many leaders are "reluctant resters," feeling guilty when they rest. But here’s the truth: rest is a part of the productivity cycle. Give yourself permission to recharge—you'll come back stronger! #RestToRechargeMind the Gap: Natalie brings wisdom with a fresh twist on gap analysis—sometimes those gaps in life or business are there for a reason. Embrace the space, and let others fill the gaps where you’re not meant to. Negative space is just as important as the rest! #LifeintheMarginDon't Be a Cookie-Cutter Coach: There's no one-size-fits-all approach in coaching. Success is about customizing strategies to fit the individual. Ditch the cookie cutter and start baking bespoke success! #NoCookieCutterCoachingStay in Your Lane—Literally: Paul’s wisdom on running your own race isn’t just for the track. Both coaches stress the importance of focusing on your strengths and not trying to be everything to everyone. Stick to your lane, and let others run theirs!Find Your "Selah" Moment: In our go-go-go world, it's crucial to take a "Selah" moment—pause, breathe, and connect with your purpose. It’s not about doing more; it’s about being present. #MindfulLeadership #PauseAndReflectTransformation Through Implementation: Knowledge is just information until you put it into action. True transformation happens when you implement what you've learned. Don't just absorb—apply! #ExecutionExcellence #ActionableInsightsSavor the Slow: Speed can be the enemy of clarity. Slow down to savor the moments, the lessons, and the growth. This is where the real magic happens. #SlowLeadership #IntentionalLivingAudible on the Go: Maximize your downtime by integrating learning into your daily routine—whether it’s a walk in nature or a short drive. Keep growing, even in the in-between moments. #LifelongLearning #GrowthMindsetStep Up and Be the Lifeline: Now more than ever, leaders are called to step up in faith and be a source of truth and guidance for those in need. Be the light in someone’s dark moment. #PurposeDrivenLeadership #FaithInActionLINKS:Connect with Natalie:https://natalielavelock.comCheck out her Coach to CEO Guide: https://natalielavelock.kartra.com/page/CoachToCEOGuideCheck out the FREE RESOURCES in our new store! http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com/shopGet Bralynn’s Book!

203: Pt. 2 Multi-Dimensional Renewal | Darby Slaton on Spirit-Centered Business™Have you ever found yourself waiting on God, thinking He’s the one who needs to make the next move in your life? Well, what if I told you that God’s actually waiting on you? In this part 2, Darby and I uncovered some real gems about what it means to truly "wait on the Lord," how to step boldly into your God-given destiny, and why embracing an abundance mindset could be the key to your next big leap of faith.Darby provides valuable guidance for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with God and actively pursue their divine calling. Stop waiting, start doing, and step into your destiny with confidence. Your time is now!And in case you missed part 1, go catch it wherever you enjoy the podcast.BIO RECAP:Darby Slaton is a creatively charged speaker! He's a storyteller who loves to laugh, and a visual communicator who uses art to bring his message to life. He's a prophetic trainer on a mission to build healthy prophetic companies to influence the world. He established the Convergence School of Prophets in 2023. He's coached many successful marketplace leaders in the leadership skills of brave communication, conflict resolution, and finding your sweet spot for living out your mission.HIGHLIGHTS:Identity and Self-Discovery: The conversation centers around understanding one's identity in God, the importance of knowing "who you are and whose you are," and how identity shapes responses and life outcomes. If life experiences seem consistently negative, it might be due to living from a false identity. By shifting this, one can reverse these experiences and attract positive outcomes.Mind Renewal and Transformation: Romans 12:2 and the concept of renewing the mind through the Holy Spirit for inner transformation and alignment with God's will. Emphasizing that renewing the mind is not just about changing thoughts but also about transforming emotions and behaviors. It’s about aligning oneself with a new identity as a "new creation" and learning to live from that place.The Importance of Multi-Dimensional Renewal: Discussing the need for renewal not just in the spirit but also in the soul and body. This includes choosing new thoughts, disconnecting old emotional responses, and training the body to respond positively, creating a holistic transformation.Breaking Free from Negative Patterns: Highlighting the concept that individuals can break free from the "old way of thinking" that leads to negative patterns in life. This involves retraining the mind to expect good things and developing new neural pathways that support positive outcomes.Boundaries and Personal Growth: The discussion highlights the importance of setting boundaries in life, both spiritually and mentally, to protect and cultivate personal growth and prevent limitations.The Power of Declarations: Being mindful of the words you use, and intentionally making declarations with conviction and coherence between heart and mind is emphasized, particularly in the context of maturing as a Son of God.Rest versus Hustle Culture: A contrast is drawn between the prevalent "hustle culture" and the concept of building a life and business from a place of rest, rooted in Kingdom principles and identity in Christ.Active Waiting on God: The concept of "waiting on the Lord" is redefined as active service, like waitstaff attending to a VIP client. This portrays waiting as a dynamic process of being attentive to God's direction rather than passive inactivity.Your Destiny Is Already Written—Time to Step Into It!Here’s the deal: God’s not holding back on you. He’s already laid out your destiny, and He’s even sent some angelic help your way. According to Coach Darby Slaton, the ball’s in your court now. So if you’ve been sitting around, waiting for another sign or for God to do just one more thing, it’s time to realize that He’s done it all. Your purpose is calling, and it’s up to you to pick up the phone and answer it!God's Desire for Relationship: Highlights that while God doesn’t need anything, He desires a relationship with us. This reinforces the idea that our connection with God is not out of His need but out of His love for us.Taking Immediate Action: Urges believers to step into their calling now, stressing that the time for action is the present. This aligns with the idea of not delaying the pursuit of one's God-given desires and purposes.Abundance Mindset: Encourages adopting a mindset of abundance by comparing it to having a billion dollars in the bank, but focusing on the spiritual wealth believers already possess. This promotes confidence in pursuing one's calling, knowing that failure is not an option when aligned with God's will.SUMMARY:So, what’s the bottom line? It’s time to flip the script on what it means to wait on God, recognize that your destiny is already set, and start living with the boldness of someone who knows they’ve got everything they need. No more sitting on the sidelines—get out there and make things happen! With God on your side, there’s no way you can lose.LINKS:- Connect with Darby: https://www.darbyslaton.com/- Check out Darby on FB: https://facebook.com/DarbySlaton- And on X: https://x.com/Slaton_DarbyCheck out the FREE RESOURCES in our new store! http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com/shopGet Bralynn’s Book!

201: Pt. 2 10X Better! | Virginia Killingsworth on Spirit-Centered Business™We covered a lot of territory in this Part 2; from spiritual technologies to misunderstanding of the enemy and the religious system, and from end times deception to the maturing of the Sons of God.  Virginia is such a wealth of revelation and insight!  She is launching a new mentorship program called Overshadowed that I really feel the Lord’s breath on for awakening the body of Christ. Be sure to go back and catch part 1 if you missed it.HIGHLIGHTS:- Ancient Pathways and Spiritual Technologies- Lucifer Misunderstanding: the misconception within the Christian community about the dragon known as Lucifer, noting that he is a created, fallen being, not an anti-god. He cannot create but only steal, kill, and destroy.- Superiority of God's Power: biblical examples (Moses, Elijah, Daniel) demonstrate that God's power is superior to counterfeits.- Christians can operate at a higher level of spiritual authority.- Maturity and Spiritual Authority: in wielding spiritual technologies responsibly.- The religious system keeps believers immature to control them, which hinders their spiritual growth and authority.- End Times Deception: where even the elect could be deceived, as in that it's possible, but not certain that the elect will be deceived.- Quantum Capacity and Spiritual Growth: helping business owners understand their inner world and build it on God's truth and the importance of understanding how to operate from a heavenly perspective.- All Things Restored Ministry: led by Virginia, noting its impact on opening people up to spiritual possibilities.- Transition in the Body of Christ: moving from the Piscean age to the Aquarian age, symbolizing an outpouring of spiritual knowledge.- Crossing into the Promised Land: the Israelites ate both manna and the fruit of the land on the first day in the Promised Land, symbolizing the transition from old ways to new beginnings.- Embracing Humility and Trust: in transitioning from old securities to new unknowns and yielding to inner transformation and governance for a new season.- Growing Up in Faith: saying "yes" to spiritual growth and trusting God's plan for maturing believers, akin to Daniel in the Bible, demonstrating that God's gifts surpass anything the devil can offer.- Collective Consciousness and Energy: everyone carries the life of God as energy, so it’s important to maintain hope and high frequency to counteract global fear and its effects on the earth's energy. This will also lead to positive changes and the ability to govern effectively.- Priestly Function and Overshadowing: spreading their wings under God's authority to protect and heal.- Shaking of the Earth: God is preparing to reveal His unshakable kingdom. Believers are called to take their place and bring light to areas previously dominated by darkness.- Kingdom Advancement: believers are stepping into their roles to enforce His rule of love, joy, and peace.

200: Pt. 1 Becoming Formless & Void | Virginia Killingsworth on Spirit-Centered Business™I am celebrating our 200th episode with my dear friend and spiritual powerhouse, Virginia Killingsworth!  We talk about the opportunity to surrender to God’s redesign and transformation when we allow ourselves to become “tohu wa-bohu” in Hebrew, meaning formless and void.  It’s a place of “no longer self, but Christ who lives in me.”  She is launching a new program to mentor people through the process of letting go and becoming.HIGHLIGHTS:Introduction of "Overshadowed”: Virginia describes receiving a divine blueprint or download for the project, which is structured discipleship, helping individuals grow and mature in their spiritual walk.Effective Discipleship: Emphasis on purposeful and effective discipleship, rather than a haphazard approach.Backstory: Her song "Overshadow Me" inspired by Mary's song in Luke 1, symbolizing alignment with divine purpose.Creative Process: receiving inspiration and then working it out through intentional practice.Transformation through Overshadowing: Describes how overshadowing involves the Holy Spirit displacing negativity with supernatural life, similar to the process of transformation at the cross.Classroom Analogies: Virginia uses the metaphor of "classrooms" to describe different stages of spiritual growth and learning, including the "king's classroom" and "co-creation classroom."Tohu wa-Bohu: Virginia explains the Hebrew terms for "formless and void" in Genesis 1, relating it to a state of spiritual preparation and creation.Surrender and Trust: Emphasizes the importance of absolute surrender and trust in God, overcoming the innate mistrust of human nature.Maturity Map: Reference to 1 John 2 as a guide for spiritual maturity, involving stages from child to young man to father.Transformation and Growth: The idea that overshadowing relates to personal transformation, from spiritual rebirth to physical transfiguration, and pulling from eternity.Role of Yielding: Highlights the necessity of yielding to God’s transformative work, allowing Him to cultivate trust and faithfulness in believers.Continuous Growth: The ongoing process of stepping beyond comfort zones and experiencing God’s faithfulness as a part of spiritual growth.Overshadowing appears throughout the Bible, from Genesis to the New Testament.Genesis and Creation: The overshadowing theme begins with Genesis, where it symbolizes the divine influence in creation.Exodus 34: God’s overshadowing presence during Moses' encounter on Mount Sinai, which is described as a portal to the heavenly realm and the beginning of the old covenant.Psalm 91: The benefits of being under the shadow of God's wings, including protection, divine care, and healing.Mary's Conception: The overshadowing of Mary by the Holy Spirit as described in Luke 1:35, leading to the miraculous birth of Jesus.Jesus’ Transfiguration: Jesus’ transfiguration on the mount, where a bright cloud overshadowed them, as a significant event showing divine approval and revelation.Acts 5:15: The reference to Peter’s shadow healing the sick as an example of divine power overshadowing through Peter.Gideon’s Story: The analogy of Gideon’s clay vessel and the light shining through it as a metaphor for breaking open the flesh to reveal the true self.Christianity vs. Other Religions: The discussion touches on the difference between Christianity and other religions, emphasizing relationship over ritualistic practices.Tree of Life vs. Tree of Knowledge: The contrast between the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and how Christianity offers a different approach to understanding and living.Mature Judgment: The distinction between false and true judgment, and the role of spiritual maturity in discerning good from evil.False Judgment: How false judgment can arise from immaturity and separation from God, contrasted with the true judgment that comes from oneness with God.LINKS:- Connect with Virginia, and check out her free blog and shop full of music and teachings, including the Miracles Are Normal online course.http://VirginiaKillingsworth.com- Join All Things Restored gathering every Sunday night on Facebook.
