you asking God for so your life can become more than just mediocre and average? I really believe friend that we are only just tapping the surface of what is possible to be activated through our lives that we can live out. You're willing to take on the challenge of opening up your life and being of use of creating an impact through your life to activate your potential. You've got to ask for more. 377 says this nicely and it says keep on asking.
and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. Welcome to the Life Changing Manifestations podcast where it's all about creating real change, lasting impact by activating your faith, your faith in God and what He can do in your life so that we as Christian women can glorify God.
We want to be an example of what is possible. So we're going to use our lives as evidence. We're going to use our lives as the testimony for what God can do. He is moving in a big way in this time in our history and we get to be a part of it. So with that, let's dive into this week's episode of the Life Changing Manifestations podcast. And there's a time when I received a bonus of $6,000 working for an employer.
And it just came out of nowhere. I was amazed at how it happened. But I had been in a place where I had given them more than $6,000 in value. I had generated and created things for their business that he was so grateful for that he just wanted to bless me with this. So that part of you asking for more is also about what have you done. So this is where I want to introduce the concept of Be Do Have.
And this is a concept that I learned from one of my mentors that I've studied with, James Wedmore. He talks about the be, do, have, and lots of other people in business and in manifestation and spiritual realms talk about be, do, have. What does be, do, have? It means to be the person, to do the things this person would do in order to have the things that you are seeking. Be comes first. We don't have the things that we want. We go be the person we need to be.
Stefanie (02:18.476)
to do the things that that person normally would be doing in order to have the things that we are seeking. Because the being is the essence in which something is changing in you to elevate your energy. Remember we talked about energy earlier? I've waited until I had the energy to be able to record this. It's also about the value that comes out of that energy shift, about the value that comes out of your confidence change.
your expectations for what can happen, all these things that are shifting as you become the person who has what you desire. As you become that person, now you are taking actions that are different than how you were taking them before. So think about there's the version you are now and there's a version of who you can be in the future if you step into this potential. If you stepped into the potential of being somebody who is seeking and asking for more to go out and create more.
Well, if you know your clear intention, you're willing to keep asking, you're seeking after it. That's the be and the doing in order to have what you're asking for. Remember that from that verse that we said earlier? So it all comes back to who are you going to be and what are you going to do in order to have what it is that you're seeking? So start with the end in mind. What is it that you are even seeking? What is it that you're asking for more of? Have that clear intention.
And I want to stress to you that a big part of the beam is about your faith. This is why I wrote a book on activating your faith, because if faith is more than just believing in God, faith is the activation of how you believe in order to believe in a way that you're willing to take action. You're willing to step out there even when you don't know how it's all going to come together, even when the vision has been cast and it's bigger than you can even take it. And so how are you going to have that faith?
activated in your life in order to be generating and creating these amazing things. Friend, this is a part of the asking process. You can ask for whatever you need. Solomon is the most noteworthy character probably in the scriptures who asked for wisdom because he was about to take on something he'd never done before. Now had a great model in his father, but what he needed was for himself to be it.
Stefanie (04:37.432)
to understand how he could do it. And so he said, in order to do this, I need to be somebody who has the wisdom to be able to rule in this way. And that is why he sought that as what he asked God for. What are you asking God for in order to ask ultimately for more out of your life? So your life can become more than just mediocre and average. What is it that you are even seeking as that activation of your faith?
So in other words, how are you going to activate your faith? What are you going to go to God to ask for? Hopefully there is a lot of wisdom that you're seeking here. Direction, guidance, protection, patience, whatever it is that you need. So many times I've been asking for patience and it also just even the enthusiasm, the passion, the stay of the course to keep on persisting because that's a challenge sometimes too. So find where the challenge is for you and seek God's help. Remember, we're asking for more.
as also a part of letting God work through our lives and us connecting with God, communing with God, that means hanging out and communicating with them through prayer, which is helping us to increase our relationship, our dependence, our understanding on God. My relationship, my connection, my understanding, my scope of who God is, is rising, is elevating as I'm doing these things.
Because I'm realizing I'm not just doing it on my own and I'm not doing it for my name's sake. I want to create a legacy, but a legacy that helps to glorify God. And so I'm after a bigger purpose and that alone is a driver that is getting me to take more action. What can it be for you? So as you think about being and doing in your life to have what it is that you're seeking, it tie in the thought of taking control of your thoughts and guarding your heart.
That is how the Bible talks about it. As you fix your thoughts, then you have to fix your thoughts on. That means taking control of the thoughts that you are thinking because we are thinking individuals, whether we realize it or not. And so many studies have shown that the average person is thinking predominantly negative thoughts. Like over 80 % of their thoughts on daily basis are negative and they're playing on repeat. Eek! That's not a good place to be.
Stefanie (06:55.054)
Think about who you're being. Think about the results you're creating. If most of your thoughts that are playing up there in your head are just on repeat and they're negative, maybe they're hostile, maybe they're judgmental, maybe they're putting you down. Maybe they're thinking less of yourself or your capabilities. That doesn't leave you living with your full potential, but it does leave you turning on the TV, settling in, feeling like, hum, there's nothing more I can do today. Today was just miserable. Like whatever it is.
There's so many people who are completely sedating themselves with television, with media, with other things, because they're not realizing their full potential. They're not feeling excited and enthused to go live out the life that they've been given. And friend, you have been given an amazing life and you are here and now in history, which I do not take for granted. And I want to inspire you that as a woman at this time in history, so I'm recording this at the start of 2025.
we are in a time in history that women before us have not had the privilege of what we have now. One, we just have this amazing technology and the ability to do the things that we can do. I can literally share my messages, type them up, record them on my phone, share them out into the world through YouTube and other assets, and be able to impact people. Even in generations past, if women had that opportunity, which was so slim that women have the opportunity to be public speakers and to share their message,
They had to do that in person and to travel expenses and the lifestyle changes. They were even outcast because they probably weren't staying home and raising families. They probably were single in a lot of cases if they were having the opportunity. It was a little shunning for women to go out and be as vocal as men were and to be able to speak at that capacity. And I don't want to take for granted the life that I have been given, the ability to live here now, to be able to share my message, to be able to put this out there.
And I want you to look at your own life that way and notice what have you been called to do? What is your expression of your faith? How are you activating and living it out for God's glory that you can do now that generations past might not have had that same opportunity. Like let that light a fire under you. I think all the time about women before who had just the sole purpose of growing up, getting married and raising a family. And I'm not downing any of that, but I do feel like there's a part of me
Stefanie (09:15.65)
How do I say this so gently? Like would feel so limited if I just had to stay, especially like I imagine it, like in a one room log cabin, did not have any space to think on my own and to activate my faith and to have to go body outside. Like these things, these challenges that women just 200 years ago had to face. I mean, I have a grandmother who grew up without electricity. So it's not even that long ago that these privileges.
These opportunities, these blessings that we have to use our lives to create an impact exist. So friend, don't waste it. How are you gonna ask for more so you can embrace all that God has for you? There's so much more. I really believe friend, that we are only just tapping the surface of what is possible to be activated through our lives that we can live out.
There's so much more because God is all about nets and God is unlimited. And I know that he can activate and do more in my life. If I would just open up to receive, to be available, to go out and do and serve in this mission. Are you willing to take on the mission? Are you willing to accept the challenge? Are you willing to accept the mission fund? Are you willing to take on the challenge of opening up your life and being of use of creating an impact through your life to activate?
your potential, you've got to ask for more. Now I will acknowledge as we get ready to close up this message that there is a cost to asking for more. That is you opening yourself up to change because if you're going to do anything differently that requires change. There is a transformation that's probably going to happen because you've got to be and do in order to have. So as you start to manifest greater things, there is going to be stuff that's going to start to shift, it's going to adjust, it's going to change, it's going to be different.
and how you're living right now. So are you willing to make those adjustments? That's something you've got to consider as well. And that's the best place to consider is to take that into prayer and meditate on the scriptures to get the inspiration, the guidance and the direction that you need. That's the wisdom in order for you to move forward. I'm just here to inspire you. I hope that I'm doing a good job of inspiring you into action. I'm here to motivate you to do something different.
Stefanie (11:40.322)
but you're the one who has to be willing to go out there and ask for more and to become more in what you are doing. We are seeking to manifest life-changing transformation. We are seeking to make our lives mean something, to be of greater value. So you've got to know what it is that you intend to do with that, how you're willing to open yourself up for that and ask God to provide in that way so you can make an impact with your life. I'm going to leave you with Proverbs chapter three, verses five and six.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take. Friend, embrace that, meditate on it and savor those words because they're not just words to say and be like, oh, that's pretty, that's nice. No, they are words of action. They are words for you to apply in your life.
And that's what this year is all about for me. It's last year I discovered this and this year I'm going to live it out in an even greater degree. Is that if I read a scripture, I don't want to just write it down. I don't want to just say it and rinse and repeat. I want to apply it in my life. It's like I'm updating my operating system, who I am, my core beliefs and my subconscious. I want to sort of fill them up with the words of God. I want to start to fill myself up with this empowerment that only can come from God.
And so we've got to be in the word, we've got to be studying it, we got to be applying it. And then we got to be taking action from there, living out our lives with his power. Friend, there's so much that comes from asking for more because you are going to activate your life like you never have before. You're to be able to realize things and give credit to him like you never have before. You're going to be an example.
other people are like what is going on with this girl? What is she doing that is so different? How is she standing out in this way? And they're curious and they're asking questions that you can point them back to God. Let me tell you what God is doing in my life. That's the kind of conversation I get excited to have and I want to just tell people about it. And it just opens up different kinds of conversations because it is through the impact that I can have just by sharing.
Stefanie (13:53.09)
that people can get curious about how it can be impacting in their own life. People are seeking more. I really believe that. And so what can you do in your life to help them discover more with God?
