Creating Full Circle Moments – Walking In Power with Nate Ortiz

Hey everyone, this is Nate Ortiz and this is Walking and Power.

We are in Proverbs chapter 3.

You've been following along, hopefully.

You've been trekking along with me.

But want to talk about creating full circle moments.

Now, the term full circle moments actually came from a Shakespeare play.

And how I like to deem full circle moments, we kind of maybe have an understanding for

it.

But I like to say is when you begin to speak something out, when you begin to be in the

lay out of vision for yourself or for others and say, imagine this.

And some that we're moving towards.

And when you go through that process to get what you spoke out or had a vision for and

you get that place where you're enjoying it, it's a full circle moment.

People could look and say, I remember when you were talking about this.

I remember when you were casting the vision for it.

So now you're actually enjoying what you were talking about.

That's this full circle moment.

And Proverbs chapter 3, there's a couple of verses that stood up to me that want to talk

to you guys about.

That maybe you're creating your full circle moment right now.

Maybe you're in the first part of casting or maybe you're enjoying your full

circle moment.

But here's what I want to point out to you that wherever you are in this process, there's

this understanding that the certain things that are developing within you, you're going

to need later in this full circle moment.

You're not just going to say why did it just for a period of time and I don't need wisdom.

I don't need this understanding of what comes through in Proverbs.

And so there's three things that I want to pull away from it when you are creating these

full circle moments.

The first one is believe why you are starting.

We understand that it's been in leadership models of know your why.

We get that.

But believe in why you are starting.

Sometimes you have their why but don't believe enough in their why to really fall through.

They don't believe enough in it to really say I believe so deeply in this.

Everything in my life is going to bend around this.

So for me, everything for me is filtered or bent around my faith.

Who Jesus is in my life and why I do what I do.

And when God gives you a vision, right, when you are creating your full circle moments,

when God gives you a vision, it will typically start in singular form.

So God might speak to you of something.

It's a dream that you're having a vision.

You're having for yourself something you want to manifest and you're speaking it out.

Right.

It typically starts a singular form, but know that as God continues to give you increase,

there has to be this element of it's going to be for other people.

What God is doing in your life, right, to serve others.

Not just the ones that you feel deserve it, but God calls us to serve people.

That's he says it multiple times over it to be the greatest is to be a servant.

And verse three, he says, do not let kindness and truth leave you.

Bind them around your neck, right them on the table of your heart.

Why?

The verse four says, so you will find favor in a good reputation in the sight of God and man.

We want to have favor.

We want to have a good reputation.

Everyone wants those things.

Don't want those things.

I don't care about things that are not important.

Write your name and who you are are important.

They matter.

It matters, right?

When people say your name is a good thing, it's a bad thing.

But believe in the why you're starting, when you are starting, you want to know, listen,

I need to have truth and kindness around me.

I need to have a run my neck to remind myself, to remind myself that what I'm moving towards,

what God has called me to is much bigger than I can even imagine or think and it's going

to serve other people.

It's going to bless other people.

And so when you think about that, believe in the why you're starting, have the strong belief

in it, but know that whatever you're operating in, you need kindness and truth to go with you.

Because sometimes people could be kind to you because they want to be a part of what you're

doing or they don't want to crush you and they'll be kind, but they're not being true.

And there's people who want to give you all the truth, but they're not being kind.

There's that old saying that you're kind words, I'm always pretty and pretty words I'm

always kind.

You have to have both around you.

So when you get those, you are laser focused on what God has for you.

And when you have those guiding you, you can really believe in your why because you know

your intentions are pure.

You know the true and you know they're going to be kind and you need those things around

you.

And when you operate in that, right, you're going to grow, your reputation is going to grow.

People are going to know, that's a good person.

I mess with them.

People are going to know, hey, that's a person who's upstanding.

You know, has good character, good morals, good, good, good sense about them.

Right.

This is what God calls us to move in that we have that.

But then we also have truth guiding us that we're not going to do things that are dishonoring

to God, dishonoring to people.

But we are saying, God, I want your truth to God and me and all my handling is all my business.

That you want to difficult and it's hard.

Kindness and truth are going to be bound around my neck so I can grow in favor and have

good reputation both with God and man.

And that is a lethal combination that you can't be.

Believe in why you are starting and let kindness and truth guide you.

The second thing is trust in what God is doing.

The truth is tell us that God is the author and the finisher of our faith in so many times.

People say, I trust God, I believe in God, but yet when it comes to parts of their lives

that they are saying, yeah, I have a vision for myself.

I see myself being married.

I see myself having this business.

I see myself blessing other people.

The moment things start going south, they feel like God isn't moving fast enough or

if I put my hands like I'm moving faster.

Listen, that never turns out well.

Throughout the scriptures, there's tons of times that I won't break it down this teaching.

But there are tons of times where people say, I'm just going to help God out.

God doesn't need our help.

God wants to work with us.

He wants to do it with us.

And so in the scriptures, it says, God, author, finisher or faith, don't be taken the pen out

of his hand.

Don't be that person that said, I'm just going to help God out.

Listen, walk with God.

Trust.

Trust in what God is doing in your life.

I feel like you need to just always interject, but stay true to what God spoke to you.

What God put in your heart.

It will be difficult to stay true and not add to things that God spoke to you.

You want to keep that pure.

You want to keep that right.

So make sure you do that.

Verse five, it says, trust all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

If everything required our complete understanding before God used us, not much to get done.

He asked us to trust Him.

We do that many times with people lives.

Just trust me.

And to build that trust in people, it takes a good reputation.

I will just talk about it and it takes a favor.

That's how you build that trust with people.

That's how you build that connection with people.

I feel like, you know what?

I'm ready to go to war with you.

I'm ready to go to battle with you.

For this full circle moment to happen, you're going to need that.

You're going to need to trust in God that even in the highs and lows of the full circle

moments, He's got you and He's with you.

And the third thing for full circle moments and creating full circle moments is honor

others from your blessings.

God wants to bless His kids but God does not want to bless us.

So we just keep it to ourselves and we tell people, hey, look how blessed I am.

Verse nine, it says honor the Lord from your wealth.

That's so wild that you could be this place of having so much wealth that you see, you

know, I just want to bless people.

I just want to bless people with, you know, financial and we're going to bless people

just also just from the overflow of good things that have my life.

We could speak of life in this.

You could bring encouragement to someone.

Say, it's never been easy for me.

I'm on the other, I'm going to enjoy my full circle moment and I want to help you.

So I'm going to talk you up so you can get to where God has for you.

And I'm going to speak.

We're talking about earlier, right?

Believe in why you're starting, right?

You believe in your why you're starting, but they're also going to say, listen, you

need kindness and truth guiding you.

And I want to give you both on me kind.

I want to speak some truth to you.

And that's going to build a relationship and it's going to get you to where you need to go.

But you can honor others when you are looking at the blessings around your life.

You say, listen, God has blessings for you.

And I want to give that to you.

You are blessed to be a blessing in this life, the smallest life the smallest life you can

live is just when you think about what can God do for me and how can I benefit?

But when you say God, how you bless my life?

How can help other people?

How can I give them, you know, a hand up and not a handout?

How can I really empower them to be everything you call them to be?

Those are the things that we want to have in this life.

These full circle moments are not to say, I made it myself, but imagine how much you

are better at filling.

We look around, right?

You can sit in a room.

You can look at text message that you have said, man, look what God was able to do in

these full circle moments, how much we enjoy them, what people are able to come with us.

So believe in why you are starting.

Remember what God called you to.

Remember how God first spoke to you.

Have that complete belief in your life.

The second thing is, remember trust in God and what He is doing.

Trust Him.

Trust Him.

Trust Him with everything in your life.

It will be a mix of how God will come through, you know, making that much more just

passionate about living a life, the way the Scriptures tell us to, the way the Scriptures

outline it.

And the third is truly honor others from your blessings.

Honor people around you.

Serve people.

The honor of the Lord from your, honor others from your wealth.

Honor the Lord from your wealth.

That's, there's no way they feel that we can have, that when we can really look at people

around us and say, man, I'm blessed because you're my life and I want to bless you.

That's what we do as parents.

That's what we do for people we care about.

Say, hey, how can I bless you?

How can I live?

How can I encourage you?

Hey, listen, thank you for being here for walking and power.

And I hope this was something you spoke to you today and that you feel encouraged and

something you can implement in your life.

And we look forward to going to Proverbs chapter 4 next time.

Hope you all have a good day.
