nobody necessarily likes discipline but
they all love the fruits of discipline
and and discipline isn’t complicated
it’s just hard work like that’s what it
is it’s just hard
work welcome to the third session of the
three keys of getting unstuck I am Lisa
bav and I am joined with my second born
son brilliant one Austin Michael bavier
you Austin I’ve been really excited
about these keys I really believe that
lives are going to be changed they’re
going to be transformed I I I know that
this isn’t just something that you’ve
like thought out this is something you
have practically worked out with a lot
of pain and a lot of perseverance and so
I’m super excited if you haven’t been
with us or you just say hey I’m not sure
I remember first key is going to be
leading your emotions not to be led by
your emotions but leading your emotions
and the second key is Renewing Your Mind
we talked about the practical way in
video number two of Renewing Your Mind
these are videos that you can watch
again and again these are principles
that you are going to want to back and
then we talked about now the third one
yes the third one is about your action
step it’s going to be what is going to
take these first two and put them all
together it is be disciplined so this is
what we’re going to be talking about be
disciplined so Austin what was your
biggest challenge in Renewing Your Mind
well the the biggest challenge I had was
I didn’t feel like renewing my mind and
the big thing that was tripping me up is
I had tried other things before and I
felt like they were not working and so I
was very discouraged and I was like I
really don’t want to try something else
but I knew I needed to give this a try
and to be disciplined enough to give us
a try and so that’s what I did but the
hardest thing was is actually the being
disciplined uh kind of stage of these
three these three keys the hardest one
to do is going to be that initial hey I
have to do this I have to get going and
moving forward and being disciplined in
doing this yeah you know um nobody
necessarily likes discipline but they
all love the fruits of discipline and
and discipline isn’t complicated it’s
just hard work like that’s what it is
it’s just hard work and so yeah
discipline goes hand in hand with
renewing our mind you have to be
consistent and there’s so many things in
our life that we we learn and we live by
just standing just standing strong and
staying the course so what was the
biggest challenge you said was
disciplined because you’re actually my
most disciplined children I am I am in
some areas and this is an area where I
had to motivated to stud grow and the
discipline but if you allow your
emotions to lead you and if you have
your thoughts are out of tune with what
god with the truth of God’s word your
your ability to be disciplined will not
be as solid as it needs to be and so it
took initially a ton of discipline and
discipline another word you could use
for it right now is probably work is the
word work or hard work and so I just
want to show the definition of work to
you guys and so the definition of work
is activity involving mental or physical
effort and often times we’re thinking
hey I’m super busy I have a full-time
job I have a family that I look after my
life is full I work hard but that’s not
the full definition of work the full
definition of work is this activity
involving mental or physical effort done
in order to achieve a specific purpose
or result and often times being
disciplined means doing the tasks that
you don’t necessarily want to do but the
tasks that are going to move you to
where you want to go and so it’s easy to
be distracted being disciplined is being
intentional and doing that work that’s
going to give you that purpose or result
that you’re looking for do you remember
when you guys were little I used to
always say to you you have to do a lot
of things you don’t want to do so that
you can do things you do want to do
later it’s so true yeah yeah and it’s so
true and um and so you may be asking
okay so what does this look like
practically all right so I’m I’m just
going to give you a few examples um when
you go to work there’s so many things
that can distract you you can check your
social media at work you can uh check
your inbox over and over again you can
chat with this person you can go check
the copier whatever discipline is when
you go into work and you do those two or
three things that you know you need to
get done that day and you don’t allow
the other things to fill your time and
often times those two or three things
that you have to do they’re not always
hard to do they just for some reason as
humans we almost want to avoid those
things that we know we have to do you
know you’ve actually really helped me
with this I don’t know I am exceptional
procrastination I mean I will do things
I hate to do to avoid the thing I
actually need to do by discipline and I
remember you sitting down with me I
think I was working on a girls with
swords and you said mom why are you
doing all these things that actually
have no value when we really need you to
do your highly valuable things and
here’s the thing if you actually realize
how valuable you are if you actually
realize how much God loves you how much
potential is in and on your life then
you will actually do this work you will
embrace the discipline that is necessary
so that what is in you that potential
that love that that God breathed mandate
on your life can come forth and can I
just tell two quick stories that are
really funny is it going to be
embarrassing for me it’s going to be
embarrassing for both you and Dad or
maybe for me I don’t know but I remember
when I was in seventh grade I was
upstairs in my room doing my homework
and my dad comes in and he’s like hey
Austin what are you doing I’m like oh
I’m doing my art homework and he’s like
is that your favorite subject and I was
like yeah I absolutely love this and
he’s like what’s your least favorite
subject and I was like at the time I was
like science and he’s like okay I want
you to do your science homework first
and I want you to do your art homework
last and I remember thinking why and
he’s like if you do the thing that you
don’t want to First you’ll have a lot
more enjoyment when you do your art
homework last because you’re not
thinking about having to do your science
homework and there’s one way you can do
it and then when we when I was in eth
grade I think uh or might have even been
before this mom took us out to
Einstein’s Bagels for lunch and she she
described this problem she had when she
was a kid and probably later on in life
how when she would yeah when when she
she was like sometimes when I know I
have to do something I will not do it
and I will do all these other things and
son that’s called procrastination and
that was the first time I ever heard
that word and I was like oh my gosh I
think I struggle from that disease and
like when when that happened I was like
shoot I’m a procrastinator I have to
change and so like just two fun quick
stories on that and and I like in all
seriousness I think even wrong believing
about who God is and the way he sees me
put me in this place where I was
undisciplined which is tough to believe
um but I almost saw God as like being
like Austin just kind of wait on me um
like I’m gonna do everything for you and
I began to realize that this is just not
the case and this is an important
conversation to be able to talk about
the rest of God and the diligence of God
I’d love you to you know speak a little
bit about this because you’ve you’ve
mentioned that you are too hard on
yourself yes and then you flipping now
to the you know I I don’t want to be a
procrastinator too hard and then I need
to rest and what’s going on so can you
kind of unpack this because I think it
is two Extremes in the body of Christ
right now I think the thought I had was
if I tried to do anything I would be
birthing an ishill or doing it in My Own
Strength phrases amazing if a man can
birth an ish yeah I can’t even I can’t
birth anything to be honest um and so
what I what God began to show me is like
Austin all the strength I have given you
the breath I’ve given you the
intelligence I’ve given you anything
I’ve given you I gave it to you so you
use it like use it use it for my glory
glory and what he said to me was he said
Austin never trust in your ability but
as you move forward move forward knowing
that your trust is in me and that I’m
working everything together and so it it
went from this passive thing of I’m
waiting on the Lord to I’m partnering
with God as I move forward and an
example that he showed me was I love
David I love the story of King David and
uh David talks about waiting on the Lord
more than anybody else but if you look
at David he’s constantly moving around
and what he didn’t do is he did not
allow himself to go outside of the will
of God by killing Saul and taking that
position for himself but he was
constantly doing things in the midst of
that and so being waiting on God is Not
passive it’s a very active discipline
lifestyle so would you say that waiting
on God is the combination of being both
a worshipper and a warrior because I
think David does that he knew when to
worship and he knew when to war yeah and
and he knew when to just really fall in
his face before God and say I I’ve I’ve
I’ve sinned against you God and I I love
that about him so Austin okay so I’m I’m
I’m convinced I’m convinced I need to
have more discipline in my life I’m out
there I I want I’m not going to be led
by my emotions I want to renew my mind
where do I go now where do I go in the
word of God to gather these tools to be
more disciplined well um a place I went
and it took probably about six months to
year is God had me read over and over
again the Book of Proverbs and I took a
I had a green pen and I just would go
through the Book of Proverbs and
highlight any verse that talked about
diligence or hard work or discipline and
I have so many that we’re not going to
be able to share them all today but I
just want to highlight a few of those
verses for you guys okay so here’s the
first one Proverbs 12:11 says this a
hard worker has plenty of food but a
person who chases fantasies has no sense
and I think it’s so easy to chase
fantasies I think it’s so easy to jump
from one thing to another but if you’re
in if you’re if you’re intentional to do
hard work you will see growth in that
area and can I pause a second again I I
mean I am so excited about what God
wants to do with the Millennials I am so
excited but I really think a lot of
times the Millennials have a challenge
with this because there’s so many
options there’s so many options it’s not
just fantasies it’s so many options that
they jump from one thing to the other
yeah stay long enough to learn what God
wants to do in your life and get that
equipping you need before you jump to
the next thing and then jump to the next
thing earn the strength earn the
discipline the struggle is realon for
every single person there’s that there’s
that tension between am I where I should
be or or um do I need to move to
somewhere else and God will lead you in
that and something you taught me is it’s
strength to strength like you’re not
going to leave a place in a low time
like there’s going to be rejoicing and
you’re going to feel right about leaving
but often times we want to leave when it
gets hard and that’s when we need to dig
our heels in and work hard and push back
and push past that P that obstacle yeah
um here’s another one work hard and
become a leader be lazy and become a
slave and I love that that’s an amazing
promise if you work hard you will be a
leader there is no middle ground that
hard work will Elevate you because it’s
admirable and it gets things done uh
here’s another one a lazy person is as
bad as someone who destroys things
that’s that’s that’s that’s hard I know
one of the verses like I think in the
King James it’s like akin to the
Destroyer I mean it’s just because you
don’t take care of stuff you everything
in your life is an entrustment
everything in your life is an
entrustment and if that potential in you
has been entrusted it’s a seed form and
if you do not if you say I’m not it’s
just too hard it’s too hard I’m not
going to do it I’m not going to embrace
discipline I’m not going to embrace the
correction of the Lord I’m not going to
renew my mind then actually you’re
destroying what is on your life and we
need you to Steward it not destroy it
yeah it was a it was a Godly empowerment
and some and when I would hear people
talk about work I was like oh there’s
one more thing I have to do but this is
a Godly empowerment because often times
you know what you need to do the holy
spirit will show you he’s given you
wisdom and you know what you need to do
and you have to follow through and
actually do those things you have to
choose to be a hard worker um another
one is do you see any truly competent
workers they will serve Kings rather
than working for ordinary people and I
think you see this a lot in Joseph’s
life he wherever he was at regardless of
how terrible it looked he continued to
be disciplined he continued to work hard
and he was eventually elevated and he
served Kings uh another one that’s great
is a little extra sleep a little more
Slumber I think we’ve all heard was uh a
little folding of the hands to rest
poverty will pounce on you like a bandit
scarcity will attack you like an armed
robber and I
think one of the first things we’re
tempted to do every morning is hit the
snooze button and we have the opp
opportunity every day to have that
discipline of wake up immediately and
start going forward in your day don’t
start your day Rush beat kind of beat
the day to the day if that makes sense
like get there early and start working
start going forward and so and know that
there’s so much purpose and
intentionality in every day it’s not
it’s not a repeat it’s a new day so go
after it immediately when you get up you
know get up with enough time to embrace
the espresso don’t be Rush when you are
doing espresso I always hug Austin on my
way to the espresso machine you know we
talked about average woman versus Wonder
Woman this is the scripture of Wonder
Woman Proverbs
2819 sorry how could I ever get that
wrong provers 31 is highlighted for me
she is energetic and strong a hard
worker she makes sure her dealings are
profitable her lamp Burns late into the
night thus she needs espresso in the
morning but she is energetic she’s
strong she’s disciplined I love that and
uh you know again we we talk about
discipline and we’re like I don’t like
discipline but yeah we’re called to be
disciples we’re called to be disciples
and there is a parallel between
discipline and disciples Jesus said go
into all the world and make
disciples active very intentional yes
that’s people that are following the
teaching of Jesus Christ that they’re
actually disciplining their lives
renewing their mind and not allowing
their emotions to lead it but their
savior to lead them that is being
disciples so you know why why don’t more
people just do the work Austin why why
don’t more people just do the tasks that
need to be done yeah and and just even
that question I just want to say like
it’s not always easy to work hard I’m
not saying that this is one of those
keys that comes naturally it’s not
complicated it’s not complicated but it
it will change your life it will
transform your life and I know there’s
moments where you’re like this is the
last thing I want to do but I want to
encourage you to do it and the reason
why so many people avoid discipline is
because it’s uncomfortable a lot of
people enjoy that comfort and if you
want to continue being who you are and
not grow and just stay where you’re at
that requires no uncomfortableness it’s
very comfortable to keep the status quo
and um but if you feel like you were
meant for more if you feel like there’s
more on your life and you’re trying to
figure out how to get unstuck and get to
that next place it you’ll go all out you
will practice discipline and there’s a
quote I love by Grant Cardone and this
is the quote work to your potential not
your quota and I absolutely love this
quote what if you lived this way what if
you lived to your potential not your
quota your quota is what other people
expect from you it’s what you can it’s
almost like the minimal effort you can
get by and still get by or minimal
effort you can do and still get by but
you know your potential you know what
you’re capable of and that’s between you
and God you’re the only two people who
know hey I can actually do this and so I
would encourage you live to your
potential not your quota and you will
see an amazing growth and often times
this growth won’t come in uh promotion
sometimes it will but sometimes it’s
just that confidence that comes from the
inside of you to the outside and you
have that ability to be fully the person
God has called you to be because you
have that confidence you’ve been through
those battles you’ve tried these things
out you’ve been diligent you’ve studied
and you’re equipped to have that
confidence to move forward and so this
is so key so key in getting unstuck you
know I I want to address one more thing
I think a lot of people don’t do the
hard work because they’re afraid of
failure they actually are afraid they’re
like what if I do it all and I still
fail here here’s what you need to know
is isn’t based on you it’s based on
God’s faithfulness and God’s promise and
if you go all in he is going to go all
in for you it’s amazing yeah and you
know and I can look at my own life and
my own background and if I had limited
myself to my potential even what how I
saw myself I’d be in trouble but what
you’ve been doing is you’re going to
make a commitment to renew your mind you
understand that you are a son or a
daughter of the most high God do you
understand that you have the mind of
Christ do you understand that you can do
all things not just some things all
things that God has put on your life
through Christ who strengthens you if
you begin to understand that then you
have this hope where you can actually
embrace the discipline Jesus embraced
the cross for the Hope set before him so
the renewing of your mind refusing to
allow the emotions to lead you and take
you hostage means that you embrace the
discipline and not be afraid that God is
going to fail you you cannot fail you
know Austin I only have one trophy I
only trophy my boys make fun of me I’ve
kept it most improved most improved that
is my only trophy i’ don’t think I’ve
ever got first place and anything in
swimming I just never cared but I was
most improved and here’s the thing we
want you to have that trophy a year from
now most improved improved most improved
in discipline most improved in Renewing
Your Mind most improved emotional that’s
an amazing question to ask yourself
throughout the year is how has my effort
been this year like where is my effort
at just ask yourself that honestly and
if it’s not where you want it to be
level up like go to the next level and
so let’s just let’s re will you recap
for us real quickly the three keys to
getting unstuck okay well number one
lead your emotions you see it people you
need to know leading your emotions is
like you’re like you’re in the driver’s
seat your emotions are not driving you
you are taking your emotions where you
want to go leave the emotions number two
renew your mind and you renew your mind
to the word of God not what everybody
else says about you not what you’re
feeling cuz you’re not you know you’re
going to leave those emotions not how
you feel about the word of God that day
but you have decided that the word of
God is truth it is a rock you can build
your life on it is not a river that you
are drifting down it is a rock and so
you can renew your mind and number three
be disciplined and here’s the thing you
know I used to tell you guys discipline
is your friend which of course they
hated but here’s the truth God only
disciplines children he loves and so I
believe you’re hearing yeah it says yeah
yeah if you like discipline we need to
talk to you but you have to actually
look at what’s on the other side of it
you know my my husband and I we’re we’re
going into a new season which is part of
the reason why we love having our sons
coming alongside we have spiritual Sons
spiritual daughters but here’s what’s
happening is when you go into a new
season God begins to prune things and
you be like ooh that’s that’s ugly I
don’t like the pruning where’s all my
leaves but the truth is God prunes when
he is preparing so the discipline of the
Lord is preparing you for another season
so we want you to reach your potential
you might need to get rid of some old
things or patterns of thinking old
friendships that make you feel like you
are less than be disciplined and renew
your mind and I want to pray over you I
am so excited because we believe in the
word of God we believe in the leading of
the Holy Spirit and we believe in the
power to prophesy Destiny and future
over your life and so father I just
thank you for these people I thank you
for people who have God breathed
potential on their life I speak to the
God promises I speak to those Disciples
of Jesus Christ I speak to those things
that are seed form in your life and
father I thank you that as they take
your principles as they lean into you as
they learn to allow your word to be
their belief system as they renew their
mind father as they choose to be
disciplined father that you show up in
such a way that you totally Astound them
with your faithfulness and father I
thank you for signs and wonders and
miracles being done in and on their life
habits that have been hold them bondage
for years broken mindsets that have been
in family for Generations broken in
jesus’ name depression that has
oppressed people where they cannot
actually rise up to everything you have
on their life father I thinkk you that
oppression and depression would be
released in the name of Jesus and father
we thank you for this being a new
beginning a new year that a year from
now a year from now their life will have
followed a very different pattern in
jesus’ name amen amen all right guys
