Host: Michael FanningIn this episode of the Windermere Coaching Minute, Michael Fanning discusses the five primary factors that determine why some people live the life they desire while others don't. Drawing insights from David Bayer's book "The Changed Mind: Rewire Your Brain and Re-engineer Your Reality," Michael explores how our early childhood programming creates beliefs that shape our entire reality.Beliefs - Fundamental assumptions about reality formed between ages 1-9Thoughts - Mental content arising from underlying beliefsFeelings - Emotional responses triggered by thoughtsActions - Behaviors and choices based on feelings and thoughtsResults - Outcomes that manifest in your life from your actionsPrimal State: Reactive, survival-oriented mode driven by fear and scarcityPower State: Creative, possibility-oriented mode driven by purpose and abundanceMichael walks through a presentation scenario demonstrating how the same situation can produce entirely different outcomes depending on whether you operate from a primal or power state.Identify your pattern in one area you want to improvePractice state awareness three times dailyTransform one limiting belief into an empowering alternativeApply your new understanding to a specific upcoming situationConduct daily check-ins about your operating beliefsDavid Bayer's book: "The Changed Mind: Rewire Your Brain and Re-engineer Your Reality"Find additional resources at changedmind.comEpisode 14 of David Bayer's podcast: "Get ahead of your limiting beliefs before they materialize"Decision Matrix tool available on the Changed Mind websiteEmail: fanning@windermere.comCoaching services available through WindermereSubscribe to the coaching newsletter for more resources"Be awesome and help somebody.

In August, I hosted a webinar called "How To Write A Great Story" where I talked about what a "story" really is, as well as well as how to use personal stories to help your writing. This episode addresses questions you asked in our Q&A session that we didn't have time to answer. There's lots of great info here, make sure you watch.Show NotesFree Writing Webinar - https://michaeljamin.com/op/webinar-registration/Michael's Online Screenwriting Course - https://michaeljamin.com/courseFree Screenwriting Lesson - https://michaeljamin.com/freeJoin My Watchlist - https://michaeljamin.com/watchlistAutogenerated TranscriptMichael Jamin:Art is about taking something inside of you and expressing it in a way that helps you understand yourself and helps you understand the world around you. And in that way, people can see it or watch it and enjoy it and help them understand themselves. I think there's that greater good. I don't think craft necessarily does that. I think craft can sometimes be, the studio will give me a note and I'll say, okay, I can do that. That's what you want. I can do that. I don't think it's necessarily playing for the greater good. It's what they want and they're paying me. You're listening to Screenwriters Need to Hear This with Michael Jamin.Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode. We're doing something unusual today. So Phil is back with me. And as you may know, every three or four weeks I host a free webinar where I take one subject and kind of educate you on it. And at the end, if there's time, I answer questions because about an hour long. And so usually we answer a lot of questions, but we can't get to all of them. So we save the questions that we can answer and we didn't have time. And we're going to answer it here for you today on this podcast. And by the way, for people who don't know, the webinar is always free, but afterwards, I also do a V I P room for people who if they want to pay a small fee, then they get to be in a smaller chat with me and we talk. I try to answer their questions as best I can specifically. So if anyone's interested in that, you go to michael jamin.com and I dunno where they would sign up for that on michael jamin.com/course. Probably.Phil Hudson:Oh, for the vip it's /vip.Michael Jamin:Oh, /vip. Okay.Phil Hudson:We're fancy here, Michael. We use high tech stuff like links, short links.Michael Jamin:So there you go. But now I'll answer the other questions. Phil hit me.Phil Hudson:I was just going to say there are a lot of really good feedback and I found that there are people who don't sign up for your course who also sign up for that v i p, and they ask some really interesting questions. And then after that I think it kind of pushes 'em over the edge to feel like, okay, this is something I can do, and then they're a little bit more inclined to invest in themselves. Some really good questions out of this V i p, and this is based off of the August webinar, and that topic was the pep talk Every screenwriter needs to hear, which is slightly different than Michael Jamin's known tone of just smashing your hopes and dreams on the rocks of reality,Michael Jamin:Which he's a problem. Yeah, I don't want to just do that. I want to make sure that people get, I want them to be grounded in reality. That's what I'm, I'm not trying to smash it's dreams, but I want to be realistic. Once you find out if you know what the reality is, then now, okay, now we can figure out how to get in once there's a way around every problem. That's what I,Phil Hudson:And that comes from early on when we were talking about the marketing for this. How do we help you grow your audience? How do we do this? And you were like, I will not sell the dream. I will not be one of those guys who just promises the dream to make a buck. I can't do that. And I was like, okay, well, it's going to hurt your ability to make money. He's like, it's not about that. I just will not do it. And so you've leaned into this sincere, radical honesty, I guess you could say, and I think overwhelmingly almost immediately people were like, wow, this sucks to hear, but I'm so glad you're saying it. It just resets the expectations a little bit. And even for me, having learned from you and been to film school and worked in the industry now for almost seven years, I still think about this, Hey, this is a script. Whenever I write a new script, this is not, I'm not going to sell this. That's okay.Michael Jamin:It's a writing samplePhil Hudson:And it frees me up to just be whatever I want it to be, not hoping that my entire life is dedicated to this one story I'm writing.Michael Jamin:I see good things coming your way, Phil, by the way.Phil Hudson:I see good things coming my way asMichael Jamin:Well. Yeah, because you're putting the work in and obviously you've already, it may be hard for you to see because you're in it, but the distance that you've traveled at only a few short years in Hollywood is pretty unremarkable.Phil Hudson:I'm keenly aware of that. Honestly, I'm humbled to be where I am. I'm humbled to host the podcast with you. I think I even pitched somebody else to co-host the podcast with you, and you're like, why wouldn't you do it? Why can't I just have you?I don't need to, or I don't want to assume to be the guy. I do think I bring a skillset to this podcast of asking the questions the listener wants to ask, and I think that's really what I do. But yeah, I'm incredibly humbled. I think I've got some really interesting things on the horizon, and I've already had some great things this year as direct result of you and the stuff you're putting out in your course and the great feedback I'm getting from people in your course, by the way, super talented people in there just giving me feedback and making me better.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Thank you Michael. Alright,Michael Jamin:Let's do it.Phil Hudson:Okay. Structurally, we broke this up into a couple and we've kind of found a pattern here. There's kind of craft questions, there are breakin questions, there are course questions, and then there are miscellaneous questions. So I take all the questions, kind of broke 'em down, and then I'm really focusing on things that you haven't said before because there are a lot of questions we get that are repetitive questions. Should I move to la? Should I move to la? What about this? How do I get my script in the right hands? And you've addressed those tons and tons of times. So if you like this, go listen to all the other q and A's where we get questions from social media, we get questions from your course members, we get questions from the webinar starting with craft, because I think that's really what we're here to learn is how to be professional writers. I'm going to mess up a bunch of names today. You ready for this?Michael Jamin:Yeah, that's okay.Phil Hudson:Shi suey, shagan. No clueMichael Jamin:That you said it perfectly, however,Phil Hudson:Nailed it. How do you win the battle against that blank screen when trying to create?Michael Jamin:Yeah. Well, the problem is you don't know what you're doing. Listen, the blank page is always intimidating even when you do know what you're doing. But if you are this locked up, it's because you just don't know what a story is and you don't know. That's what the course teaches you. How to take an idea, identify if there's enough meat on that bone to turn it into an episode of television or a movie or whatever. Not every idea is worth turning into. It doesn't have enough there. So the course helps with that. I think all that the writer's block that you're experiencing is because you don't know what you're doing. Of course you're going to be blocked. Of course you don't know what your characters are going to be doing, so at least come to the free webinar, at least I can help you with that much if you don't want to buy the course. The webinar will help a lot at michaeljamin,com/webinarPhil Hudson:And all the other free resources you have, like the free story lesson on your website, michaeljamin.com/free. It's another great place to start. Absolutely true. If you don't know where you're going to go, you get stuck. And for many of us, it's that middle of act two, what's going on? What do I do now? How do I get my characters to this really bad thing that's going to happen? Whatever it is. And understanding the structure as you put it out, it's just so easy to grasp and understand. It's a no brainer. I clearly know where I need to go and what needs to happen here from a strategic perspective, and then tactically I can lay in things to get me where I want in a surprising way.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Perfect. Oh, if I may, when you're rewriting, print that thing out and use a red pen, man.Michael Jamin:Red pen.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Michael Michael's pro tip hand amboy. What is the best way to keep improving in screenwriting or storytelling?Michael Jamin:Just keep writing. I would write your episode or your feature, put it aside, write another one, put it aside, write another one, and you'll find that as opposed to just keep on working on the same piece, finish it and write a second one, then the third one, and you'll find that script number five is much better than script number one will ever be. You have to just let it go and continue doing something else. So that's my advice.Phil Hudson:Awesome. Chelsea. Steve, how in depth do you prepare a beat sheet or treatment to pass to a co-writer? Is it important to be specific or broad out of respect for them?Michael Jamin:Oh, well, I mean, you should be doing the beat sheets together. I mean, I would think that's how you get on the same page. My partner and I do everything together. We break the story together. We come up with a beat sheet together. We come up with the outline together. That's how you do it. I mean, you don't want to, if they're your partner, I dunno why you wouldn't bounce ideas of each other that's, or else why have a partner.Phil Hudson:Another really early podcast episode we had was writing with a partner where you talk about this process and there are several schools of thought about how to work with a writing partner. There are tons of resources and different writing have different things. One person sits at a keyboard, the other does, and I think you guys do that that way. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Vers been, I used to be the one at the keyboard, but for the last couple of years he's been the one at the keyboard. Although now we both have, we use collaborate so we both can type at the same time, which is really annoying.Phil Hudson:That's awesome. Yeah, so there's a bunch of that and there are other people who do it, but I think the real juice of what we're saying here, what you're saying, Michael, is you shouldn't be breaking your story separate. That's not Yeah,Michael Jamin:Yeah, yeah. You got to be on the same page.Phil Hudson:Yep. AllMichael Jamin:I'll tell a quick anecdote. One time Steve and I were working on a script for, I think it was Taco fd, and we were writing the outline together and we got into a fight over what this one scene was supposed to be. And I wanted one thing, he wanted another thing. And then I said, what do you think this story is about? And he told me, and then he goes, what do you think the story is about? I said, I think it's about this. We weren't even clear on what the story was about, so we had to stop, agree on that and then move forward.Phil Hudson:Yeah, that cleared up everything, I'm guessing.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Great. Nina in your course, isn't she? Yeah. Yeah. Nina, I'm so worried about alienating my audience for too long. Is there a theory about thisMichael Jamin:Alienating? I wish I knew. In what way? I feel like you want to hold your audience's hand. That's how I feel. There are other filmmakers who may feel differently when I get lost. Sometimes when I watch watching, I'm like, I'm lost here. I dunno what's going on. And so that's not something that I like to do in my writing. I like to make sure that, especially if you're writing on television, because you're writing on tv, you go into a movie is one thing. You have their attention. There are hostage if they're sitting in the movie theater, but on TV show often people will be on their phone, they're reading a magazine, they're doing everything at the same time as watching a TV show. So I want to make sure they're with me the whole way or else they're not going to be engaged.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. I wondered about this one too. What does she mean by alienating, right? I don't think you ever want to really alienate your audience. I think there's suspense, there's audience superior versus audience inferior. Does your audience know more than the character? Does the audience know less than the character does? And there's different tactics and tools you can use as a writer to build suspense, and they each have their own purpose, but alienating would be, yeah,Michael Jamin:That's not on my list of things to do.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Sorry Nina, if we had the misunderstanding here, but let us know in the private Facebook group putting us in there with a clarification, and I'm sure Michael hopinMichael Jamin:Into that. Just to be clear, the private Facebook group is just for members of my course, so you have to be a paid member to get into that. But there's a lot of good stuff going on there. These people are very active, and I answer more questions there for them.Phil Hudson:We'll jump down because there's literally this question under the section Mark Brozinsky. Is there a Facebook group we can join to network?Michael Jamin:Yes, there is. And once you purchase, you get a link to that and you should definitely take advantage of it. There's a lot of really smart people trading scripts. They're doing table reads once a week. They're giving each other notes film festival. And it's unlike, they got a festival coming up, which I can't believe, and it's unlike, there are other Facebook screenwriting groups where people are pretty mean. It's almost like Reddit, screenwriting Reddit, which is the dirtiest place on the earth, but that's not what this is going on in this group. It's really very professional and supportive. I think we were smart to gate that group and say, you have to be purchased because it hasn't turned into a cesspool.Phil Hudson:I can tell you from the e-learning side of my digital marketing career, that when people ask, and we had this conversation with the client a year ago when they were relaunching their online membership course for a specific topic, but anyway, very well renowned company, lots of people. And I said, you need to have a community manager that's in there full-time, keeping out the R riffraff. There's spam, there's ugliness, there's all these things. And if you don't have someone doing that, it's just going to get bad. And most of these things are set up by one or two people who just wanted to start a group. And I've had nothing but bad experiences in those groups. Nothing but bad experiences unless there is some unifying factor, like an alumni group tends to perform a little bit better, be in easier place, you have a problem.Michael Jamin:But we don't have that problem with our group. Nope.Phil Hudson:In fact, you have people who self-police. I get messages from people who are like, Hey, I shared this thing. Did I break a policy of self-promotion? I was like, you shared something you produced that came out of the course. I don't think, I think that's celebrating your hard work. You're not offering to pay to read someone's script. You're donating your time every Tuesday night to run a tableMichael Jamin:Group. Yeah. Yeah. Right.Phil Hudson:You're good.Michael Jamin:Yeah, you're good.Phil Hudson:Awesome. Tomer K. I've noticed in the blacklist scripts that there's a trend of making meta commentary about the script itself. Referencing page numbers or the reader. What are your thoughts on this? And maybe define what the blacklist is for people?Michael Jamin:Well, yeah, I mean, the blacklist, there's really, the blacklist started as a site where unproduced professional scripts that were sold were just never produced. And it was an honor to get on the blacklist, but now there's something, now it's something else. There's two lists, right, Phil?Phil Hudson:Yeah, there's that list. But then there's also, you can sign up for the blacklist and pay a monthly fee to host your script so people can access it and read it and give you notes. And you can pay a hundred bucks a pop to get notes and reader feedback on your script and get rated. And that's a little bit, I think more of the commercial side of it.Michael Jamin:Isn't that what they're talking about?Phil Hudson:That's the blacklist. There's also fellowships and things. So by no means are either of us knocking the blacklist. It's just a difference in what this is. And I think what they're referencing is the original that you're talking about,Michael Jamin:The original list. They're thinking. There's a lot of meta jokes in it and meta references.Phil Hudson:I've not read them, but I believe that's what they're saying. That is the blacklist I placed on the blacklist top unproduced scripts.Michael Jamin:Oh, so I can't answer it then.Phil Hudson:But from a style perspective, do you think that's an appropriate style of writing?Michael Jamin:Well, if they got on the blacklist, on the legit blacklist by doing this, who am I to say? No, I just think it tends to be cheap. Breaking the fourth wall or meta. You got to really be careful. Ryan Reynolds says that well in the Deadpool, but it can become a crutch and it becomes, the problem was when you do it, you're telling the audience, this is a movie, and it takes them out of it. You've sucked them into it. This is how I feel. When I first started, I thought all this meta jokes were great. Isn't that funny? Where self-referential isn't that interesting? But now that I've matured as a writer, I feel like you're spending all this time and energy to suck people into world, to make them suspend disbelief. And now you're going to pop it with a joke, and now you got to put more energy, get 'em back into it. I don't like it. I think I don't like it. Others can feel differently though.Phil Hudson:And in the Deadpool comics, he would break the fourth wall. So that is not something that he's doing in film. He's living in the character. And I think it's something everyone expects from Deadpool, but he's going to have a commentary with you, and it's Ryan Reynolds. If there's anyone who can do that, it's Ryan Reynolds. Right? I could do that. I don't know many people who could fourth wall just for people. I just want to make sure everyone's clear on that. It comes from stage place specifically where there are three walls, and then there's a line, and that line is three walls or the set, and then the fourth wall is the audience. And so they're either facing the audience or they're communicating with each other, but they don't turn to speak to the audience unless it's a narrator or it's someone else having, there's a specific need for that.Michael Jamin:Yeah. Fourth and wall is when you literally acknowledge that there's an audience watching your play, which is kind of odd, but it can be fun.Phil Hudson:Some of the first screenwriting courses I ever paid for talked about that. I was supposed to know what it was, and I got so lost. I had to go look it up. And man, that was very confusing. So I want to make sure we define that for people. Yeah, yeah. Projecting much, Phil. Cool. Pf, oh, I wanted to ask, I have a follow-up question on this. So there are screenwriting books that are kind of renowned, specifically story books by Robert McKee, more so than screenwriting books, where he says It is cheap for a writer to reference. We see, we hear, and I actually write in that style, and I get a lot of really good feedback on that. We see this happen. That's just a personal choice. I don have a problem with it. I've never had no bump on it. You read my scripts, you've never bumped on it. To be clear in the book, he clarifies that overused in the transition from, I want to say it was like it might've been silent films to specific moving into something else. So it was as a crutch, people leaned on at a certain point in the 1990, in 19 hundreds. So maybe we've got past that watch is why it doesn't bump. But I said, you answered the question, you don't care.So that's not breaking the fourth wall in that.Michael Jamin:No, no, no, no, no. You're just, yeah, that's a stage direction.Phil Hudson:Yep. Awesome. Yeah. To me, I'm inferring camera movement more than anything. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Okay,Phil Hudson:Cool. P F H, should I vet my idea before I write it so I have an idea to pitch? But once you know it is doable, then I can perfect it. Basically, I had to rewrite this question. It was a bit confusing. Does that make sense?Michael Jamin:Yeah. I think what they're asking is, this is what I would do. You have an idea of a movie for a movie or a TV show or whatever, put it in a sentence or two sentences and then pitch it to a friend. And if you can't explain it succinctly, then you've got a problem. So just saying it out loud, even if you don't have a friend saying it out loud, describing it is a good waste to the, oh, okay. I know what the story is. Sometimes you don't even know what it is and you can't clarify. So for sure, say it out loud and see if your friend is interested. If that sounds grabby, it might not be.Phil Hudson:Yeah. In that two sentences, would you say that separate from a log line, or would you call it a log?Michael Jamin:Yeah, that's basically a log line. But if you want to expand, if you want to make it a paragraph, if you find that a log line is like two sentences, but if you want to make it a paragraph, that's fine too. But don't make it a page. Just make it short and brief.Phil Hudson:Yeah. One script, early script, I wrote, the log line was about a small town. It's about a small town pastor who kills people. And it was interesting. See your face. That's an interesting enough logline. Yeah, I'd be interested in that. And then the questions are, well, what's it about? Why does he kill people?Michael Jamin:Yeah. I would go a little more detailed than that because if you pitched me out, I would say, maybe tell me more.Phil Hudson:Correct. And it's really more of an elevator pitch than anything. It's just a way to just slide it in. But the log line would be a full two sentences. Yeah. Cool. Course related question. Only one other. Today, melody, we answer a lot of these questions throughout the webinars. There's not a ton of these. Melody Jones, I have to do major research for my project. Should I take the course first or get my research done, then do the course?Michael Jamin:Oh, I would say take the course first. That way you know what kind of questions to ask and look for. Unfortunately, we couldn't answer this for her, probably live. But yeah, you may start asking yourself questions that you don't even need the answers to. SoPhil Hudson:Yeah, I would absolutely agree. In fact, the script I'm writing right now, I am doing a lot of research on, because it has a technical skillset that I am very familiar with, but I don't know the intricacies of. And so by doing my research, I'm looking into that. But I broke the script first from a story perspective, not a plot perspective. I said, what's the story? What do I want to tell? What's going to happen? How are my relationships going to play out? And now it's looking at it thematically to say, how can I utilize this experience they're going through from a technical perspective to elevate that story or to add stressors? How can I use this to get to this part where they get in an argument or whatever? SoMichael Jamin:Absolutely. What's also interesting, side note, but I'm rewatching Wolf of Wall Street, and I may be a quarter of the way through, but every fricking scene that I'm watching right now, everyone is interesting. The acting is brilliant, but every scene is written. There's something really interesting going on each scene. There's nothing lazy about that script. It's like, if you watch, you could show me one scene. I'd be like, Ooh, that's good. So think about that when you're writing your script. Is this scene amazing or not? Because that one, it was movie. Every scene is amazing.Phil Hudson:That's awesome. Yeah. You guys are freebie for you guys. I love that. All right. Breaking in. You ready to talk about breaking into Hollywood? Sure. Cool. There's a curse word in here. So to keep our non explicit label on the podcast F the Void, is there a chance for writers that are not from the US to find success in Hollywood? Like say, south American writers that want to make you big?Michael Jamin:Yeah. Well, there was that guy. Sure. I mean, the guy, the writer who did, ah, man, what was he? Australian? No, he was South African. It's the, ah, man. What was that movie called? District nine.Phil Hudson:And he did a bunch of stuff. They're all great.Michael Jamin:Yeah. And so for sure, you can make your stuff wherever you are. And to some degree, if you make a TV show in a foreign country other than the us, often it's easier to sell those shows to the US because it's IP that already exists. And for some reason, sometimes studios want that. So Wilfred, for example, I wrote on Wilfred, that was an Australian show. It did really well in Australia, and we adapted it for America here. It's not uncommon at all. So yeah, don't let that hold you back from creating great stuff.Phil Hudson:Yeah. From a purely cinema history perspective, a lot of the best cinematography came out of Mexico when Eisenstein moved there. So there's great stuff. You've got Rito, you've got all these amazing filmmakers coming out of Central South America. And North America. You've got Tero Titi out in New Zealand. YouMichael Jamin:Got right. I'm going to mention him. There's a movie, I'm just, I'm going to search it right now. Yeah. There's a movie I watched a couple of days ago, the Worst Person in the World. It's a Norwegian movie. Loved it, loved it. Thought it was so well done. The title was terrible. What's the title? But everything about the movie was great, except for the title. The Worst Person in the World. Yeah, go watch that. Yes.Phil Hudson:But there's some great films even just come out of Europe, the UK and Europe, which I think we're going to get. That's the next question is uk, maybe that one we answered in the thing. But anyway, but it's like once that musical is just fantastic and it's out of the uk. So yeah, I think oftentimes people group like UK and America is Hollywood, but they are different. You have BAFTA and you have the B, B C and the way they do their things, and then you have Hollywood. And the other thing to keep in mind too is with streaming, I mean, I get a lot of recommendations for Spanish films and TV on my Netflix, and they don't know that I speak Spanish.Michael Jamin:I think they DoPhil Hudson:You think they figured it out? I think theyMichael Jamin:Do, man. They might. You'd be surprised. ButPhil Hudson:I get some Korean stuff too. I getMichael Jamin:Ads in Spanish because I speak Spanish too. I'm like, why? How do they knowPhil Hudson:It's not zip code related? Maybe it's zip code related. Maybe it's just la, right? But yeah, anyway, I get a lot of that stuff. And so just because maybe you get something and you sell it to Netflix, Ecuador, and then all of a sudden it's being streamed all over the world. You've got all of the Spanish channels, and then you make it here. I have to, ah, here's a great example. Squid Games, squid Games, South Korea blew up huge. Right? Huge. Parasite. Parasite. South Korea.Michael Jamin:But there's a catch. It has to be good.Phil Hudson:Better than good has to be great,Michael Jamin:Right? Yeah. It has to be great.Phil Hudson:But that's the role for everyone in Hollywood too. And there's a lot of people here who are not willing to put in the effort to get to that. Right? Yeah. And I guess follow up question from F the void, do you know any writers that are not from the US or any first world country that have made it in Hollywood?Michael Jamin:Well, I've had Canadian writers on my show before on the podcast. You can ask them how they did it. Other, if you come from a non-English speaking country, you're going to have a more difficult time in the sense that even if your English is really good, it may not be perfect unless you've been here a long, long time. And so that's the catch. It's hard for you to write dialogue in a language that it's not your first language. It mayPhil Hudson:IMS idioms and all that other stuff too.Michael Jamin:So you do need to have really, not just a firm grasp of the language, but you really have to know it. You have to speak as well as a native speaker, but with just maybe just a slight accent. That's the only catch.Phil Hudson:Yeah. But there are also things like Selena, there's a girl I went to film school with, and she's a writer on Selena, and she's from Mexico, and she's a second. She just got naturalized just a bit ago, but she's right around Selena before she was a US citizen.Michael Jamin:Yeah, often. Interesting. Yeah. So if you get on a, there's demand for people with diverse backgrounds if the show is about that background. SoPhil Hudson:Yeah, it absolutely was. I think that whole writing staff were Latin American.Michael Jamin:Right? Right. Hey, it's Michael Jamin. If you like my videos and you want me to email them to you for free, join my watch list. Every Friday I send out my top three videos. These are for writers, actors, creative types. You can unsubscribe whenever you want. I'm not going to spam you, and it's absolutely free. Just go to michaeljamin.com/watchlist.Phil Hudson:Cole, our film festival is a good route to take for a script you wrote to get looked at.Michael Jamin:Well, you're not looking at it. You're shooting it, right? I'm not sure what the question is.Phil Hudson:Film festivals often have screenwriting screenplay contests attached to them.Michael Jamin:Oh,Phil Hudson:Interesting. And I can tell you, having been on staff for many of those indie film festivals, that is what pays the screenwriting contest is what pays for the cocktail hours and for the other things.Michael Jamin:So you're saying it's not really a way to be discovered?Phil Hudson:It depends on the film festival.Michael Jamin:Right. Oh, okay.Phil Hudson:Alright. So there are film festivals that I think matter. I think they're also, I think what you really want to talk about. We actually do a webinar on a little bit deeper on this, which is available on your website to purchase for like 29 bucks worth watching. WhichMichael Jamin:One is that? Which episode was that?Phil Hudson:I think it's how to get past Industry Gatekeepers.Michael Jamin:Oh, okay.Phil Hudson:I want to say that's what it was. Yeah. Thanks for clarifying. But yeah, I think what you really want to look for are fellowships fellowship. So you have the Sundance Film Festival and their fellowships that they offer there. Blacklist has a fellowship. You have the academy, the Nichols Fellowship. Awesome Film Festival comes up in another question here. That's one. That's a film festival where they do give screenwriting contests awards, and there are industry people who attend that. So it's a different thing. Tribeca, some of those bigger ones, south by Southwest. If they have those options, maybe go for those. But if you're talking about the Westborough, whatever film festival, maybe skip it. Maybe Skip Save the 40 Bucks on Film Freeway.Michael Jamin:Okay. You heard of the film. He knows more about this than I do.Phil Hudson:Daniel Celiac, poor guy. If someone is still in high school or early in college, what can they do to get closer to the industry?Michael Jamin:Stay where you are and just write, write and make your own stuff. As a kid, I shot my own stuff on a super eight camera. Now you can shoot on your phone. I didn't have sound back then. Just keep working on your craft and read anything and get inspired by our art. Draw upon it. Don't look for a job right now. I mean, if you want to look for a job as an intern or PA or something, that's fine. But don't start thinking about starting your film, writing your screenwriting career. Just start working on Become a good writer. That's the first step.Phil Hudson:And I was going to suggest PA Intern Volunteer. I started volunteering at the Sunrise Film Festival because that's all I could do. And it was because I was in the recession of 2008, nine, and I just had to work and I had to work two jobs. And so I would volunteer at the Sunrise Film Festival, and I put in those hours for four years. And then that's how I got my first real break through Sundance to do some stuff aside from the work I was doing and how I met you. We've talked about previously, great bv. Michael mentions moving to Hollywood if you're serious. What about those in the uk, for example, who physically cannot get a Visa to move there?Michael Jamin:Right. Well, there is an industry in the uk. I mean, they do make great movies and great TV shows there. So I don't know what cities, if it's London, I don't know where the centers are, but stay where you are and become great in your country, and then we'll get you, we'll send a visa your wayPhil Hudson:When we want that. There's a specific visa that gets you over. It's like you're an expert in your field that America wants to profit off of you by taking taxes.Michael Jamin:Yeah. The minute America sees dollar signs on you instead of just pound signs,Phil Hudson:You get that special visa.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Great. Bv, I just got your pound sign joke, by the way. That was clever.Michael Jamin:Thank you,Phil Hudson:Bev. No, I did that one. Lauren Gold. Any specific tips for fiction novel writers who want to transition to screenwriting?Michael Jamin:Yeah, create, write a bestselling book, and it'll be so easy. They will, Hollywood will come after you with buying their rights, but if you have a book that's not selling, honestly, the book doesn't even have to be good. It just has to be a bestseller because then it comes with the built-in market, and so is 50 Shades of Gray High Literature. I'm not sure, but I know a lot of people read it and loved it, and so they turned out into a movie. So it's about marketing. So these bestsellers have a built-in marketplace and look at a lot of these movies that are being made. They're adapted from movies. They're just hit books or hit books.Phil Hudson:And it can also be other things like The Martian, right? It was originally a blog post, a series of blog posts that we, on hisMichael Jamin:Website. Right? I know it was a self-published book. I didn't know it started from blog posts.Phil Hudson:I believe it was a blog. He would post blog posts. He would publish basically a new chapter as a blog post was bought, and then he would spin on from there.Michael Jamin:So there's a guy who wasn't asking for permission, he wasn't waiting to be discovered. He did it anyway. He built the mountain himselfPhil Hudson:At Twilight. Those were stories that she would tell her sister. And she brought that book and blew up. Yeah. Cultural phenomenon.Michael Jamin:Twilight was self-published. Did not know that.Phil Hudson:My understanding is that, yeah, I believe it was. And someone else, correct me if we're wrong, they'll definitely scream at me because it's such a big hit. That being said, I believe 50 Shades of Gray is a fan fiction of Twilight. That's at least what I've heard.Michael Jamin:I didn't know that. Okay.Phil Hudson:Awesome. I'm going to just offend half your audience who love those two franchises.Michael Jamin:That's okay.Phil Hudson:You're welcome, everybody. Rob, as I produced my own plays, staged comedy shows and web series for a while, great. Now is a way to break in. Is this a valid way of doing it? Does the industry care about any of this?Michael Jamin:Yes, of course. But the problem is you're doing all these great things, but maybe you're putting the work in, which is great, but maybe it's not good enough yet. It's okay. Keep doing it until you get good. Or maybe it's great, but it hasn't found an audience yet. So it does need to have an audience. The minute you have your web series gets discovered by a couple million people, Hollywood will find you because you are bringing more to the table than just your desire to cash a check. You are bringing an audience. But if you don't have that yet, then one or two things are happening. One is maybe your writing isn't good enough yet, or your show is not good enough yet, yet means you can keep working on yourself. Or maybe they haven't found you yet in that's the case. You still have to keep putting it out there just until you're found, until your audience finds you. Either way, you have to keep doing it. That's it.Phil Hudson:Andrew Spitzer, would you agree that ultimately you're selling yourself and your skills rather than a product? You gotMichael Jamin:To bring more to the table, and like I said, than just a script. And so what am I doing on here? I'm selling myself. I suppose I have a following on social media. It helps me get more opportunities. And so I still have a body of work and people know that I'm a good writer. But yeah, I come with this other end, this other, I bring more to the table than just me,Phil Hudson:Just my work brother. Sorry. Yeah, and I took this too. No, no. It's your podcast, man. I'm sorry. I stuck on your toes, Mr. Jamin. I did it again right there.Michael Jamin:No,Phil Hudson:I was going to say I took this as an, I think it's a bit of both, and I think the order is a little bit different, but my perspective of this, you have a product. That product is so valuable to someone that they want to buy it because you were able to craft that product. And because of that, now your skill sets are valuable and you are now selling your ability to continue to craft products like that one. So you have to have a sample that you've already checked the box. You can make these people money. If you can't do that, there is no evidence of your ability and your skillset. So there's nothing to sell.Michael Jamin:Okay.Phil Hudson:But I think it goes for your script. I think it goes for getting an agent. I think it goes for getting a manager. I think it goes for opening doors to meet people. You have to have something that is valuable to them. And it might be audience like you were just talking about. That might be enough, right? It might be your IP from the story you wrote and self-published.Michael Jamin:Sometimes it'll be approached by an actor, a big actor who has a terrible idea for a show or whatever, because you're going to be in it. And so you're a good actor. So that's bringing a lot to the table, their presence.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Sidebar here. Is there truth in the statement that there are certain actors who are not able to open a movie, who are not able to, that they come and they might have a name you'd recognize, and they might have some idea of a following, but they're not necessarily someone a studio would bank on?Michael Jamin:For sure, but I can speak more to this from the TV side, but for sure, I know even John Travolta, Quentin Tarantino wanted to cast Travolta in Pulp Fiction. And I think there was some pushback from the studios. He was a, has been. He was a washout, even though super talented guy. And Tarantino saw him and thought, dude, this guy is still a huge star. He can't walk down the street without people yelling. Vinny Bobino, people love him. And so he pushed, he fought for him, even though the studio didn't believe he could open a movie, and he did open a movie.Phil Hudson:He did. Did he ever?Michael Jamin:And then think of all the other opportunities that came because of that. But sure, the studios, at the end of the day, they're not so concerned with, is this actor a good actor? They want to know, can this actor put asses in seats? Will they sell tickets? And that's why some actors were not particularly good actors or great actors, but they can put asses in seats. That's what counts.Phil Hudson:Yep. Awesome. That's what I thought. I just wanted to get some confirmation there. This is a Phil Hudson q and a. Are everybody I can ask my questions too. Awesome. Lappe two TV or Lippe tv, whatever. If a short film is being optioned to pitch as a series, is it better to keep the short hidden while it's being shopped around, or is it okay to post it online?Michael Jamin:Well, it'sPhil Hudson:A bit of a one percenter for you, right?Michael Jamin:This isPhil Hudson:A one off question.Michael Jamin:Yeah. If you put your short on YouTube or whatever, and it gets a million views, it's a lot easier to sell. It's a lot easier to sell.Phil Hudson:Yeah. What I got from this question is, I made a short, somebody has optioned that short. Is it a mistake to now put that on YouTube? Does that advice still apply there?Michael Jamin:You'd have to talk to the person who optioned it, because now it's theirs. They have the rights to go to talk to them.Phil Hudson:Cool. Len Lawson, should I ask a potential producer to sign an N D A before reading my script?Michael Jamin:I wouldn't. But it depends who, I've never done that. But also, don't show it to the producer who's got a handlebar mustache. Who are you showing it to? Make sure what have they done? Look 'em up on I mdb. Are they legit or are they just someone who's claiming to be a producer? In which case, you better build a rapport with them. You better know whether you can trust this person or not. But I wouldn't. I would never ask. And I've told my scripts to tons of people. I don't ask for an N D A.Phil Hudson:I wouldn't either. It's just friction. I think about this in terms of friction, and we talk about adopting habits or influencing people to take action. There's this whole nuance of digital marketing called conversion rate optimization, which is, how do I get more people to take the action I want them to on my website, whether it's the headline or it's the colors or it's pattern interrupts, or if it's offers or bullet points, all that stuff. And to me, you want to reduce friction. How do I remove obstacles? And in sales, the best way to overcome an objection is to kill the objection before it becomes one. And that's a massive objection.Michael Jamin:Were to, I'm not a producer. I'm not an agent. I don't want to read anybody's script. I'd say right up front, I'm not. But if someone were to ask me for the favor, say, Hey, will you read my script? And then for some reason I was feeling magnanimous that day as opposed to every other day of the year, then I would say, all right, I'll read your script. And then they asked to ask me to sign an nda, a I'd like, forget it. The deal's off.Phil Hudson:We're done.Michael Jamin:We're done.Phil Hudson:And that's what you're doing.Michael Jamin:ButPhil Hudson:I think it also speaks to the psychology of people who are breaking in, who are so concerned. Someone's going to steal their idea. And that's one of the most prominent questions we get. This is that question asked a different way.Michael Jamin:Everyone is so convinced that they have an idea that's worth stealing. That's the funny part. Everyone thinks their script is gold, and most of 'em are not.Phil Hudson:By most, we mean a lot of them. A 99.99. And that's a hard thing for me to admit too, guys. I thought I was going to win an Oscar with my first script. I thought I was that prodigy. I've talked about Prodigy syndrome before on the podcast. I thought that was me, and it's not. And letting go of that's been so freeing for my creativity and my enjoyment of the process. So just look at it this way, if you think this is all you got, that's a problem. And that's why you're freaking out. My opinion is steal my idea. Awesome. Go for it. Why? Because that validates the fact that I got something and I got a lot more of that. Right?Michael Jamin:Right.Phil Hudson:But also, please don't steal my stuff.Michael Jamin:Yeah, don't steal the stuff that's for me to do.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Everything Jamin writes, I actually write, I'm his ghost writer. I've been a ghost writer for 26 years.Michael Jamin:Yep.Phil Hudson:I submitted a pilot, Nolan. See, I submitted a pilot to the Awesome Film Festival. Is this a good move? Is it bad timing with the strike I submitted before I knew there was going to be a strike.Michael Jamin:There's no bad timing. I mean, you're not going to take, if you become a hit at, if you win some prize, great. When the strike is over, you can capitalize on it. I don't think there's bad timing.Phil Hudson:No. I think there's specific advice on this from the W G A that I've seen, and it basically says that if you win anything that was done before the strike, it's whatever. But it's what you do with that after. So let's say that you submitted to a strike that was funded by a studio in the A M T P, and then you win. And part of that prize is to have a meeting with a producer that is in breach, because that is happening after the fact selling. Even having a meeting with them is a breach. It's crossing a picket line.Michael Jamin:So just to first say, Hey, thank you. I'm so excited. I can't wait to have this meeting with you in a month or two. When this R is over,Phil Hudson:You don't want to take that meeting to ruin your potential for a career because you can't get in the W G A and when the strike's over, they can only hire people who are in the W G A and they will not hire you becauseMichael Jamin:They won't give a crap about you. I mean, if you think you're going to build a friendship with them, they're going to be gone.Phil Hudson:Nope. They're going to make their payday and move on. And then when the Writers Guild qualified writers can come back, they will get their high quality scripts back from the people who write 'em. And you'll be sitting there just wasted opportunity with the Austin Film Festival. However, I believe it is technically, and I could be wrong, but I believe it's in, and I did submit this year, by the way, to everybody. I'm in the same situation. I'm not concerned if I win, awesome. I'm not planning on winning. It's just a benchmark, a litmus task for me to say, did I qualify? Am I good enough? Where am I at in what I consider to be a respected film festival? And you take what you get out of it, you accept the accolades, and then you move on and just avoid anything that crosses the picket line. Don't take this as an opportunity to scab.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Cool. Four questions. Michael, you think we can do it?Michael Jamin:Let's blow through. Let's do it.Phil Hudson:Shauna Ibarra, miscellaneous. How do you find mentors or people who can give you feedback?Michael Jamin:You got to earn it. You got to earn it. You got to get a job or an internship or something at a studio, at a production company and work your butt off. And then after six months say, Hey, can I show you my script? But it's not like mentors are just lining up to help you. Or maybe they are. Maybe they're retired people, I don't know. But that's the connections part. That's the work you have to do. This is your job is to make connections, and it's to give first. And that's what I would do.Phil Hudson:I was given advice from a production supervisor and a producer that at a certain point you get an ask and you should take your askMichael Jamin:That time. You have to earn that ask first. Right?Phil Hudson:Yeah. And there are many people I've personally worked with in Hollywood where I probably have that ask, and I'm not taking that ask because I don't want to waste their time.Michael Jamin:You're saving itPhil Hudson:For when it's time. Yeah. Erica little since screenwriting is not audience facing, like acting. Is it an ageist industry? Since it is generally Hollywood based.Michael Jamin:Ageism is the last accepted in Hollywood that said, there are plenty of examples of people who are older who are still breaking in. So it's not like it's impossible, but they're still favoring the youth. But it's not impossible, especially if you do it yourself. I am always yelling at you, do it yourself so no one can stop you as you're older, you have wisdom, you have more life experiences to draw upon, and you might have a couple of bucks in your pocket so you can invest in yourself.Phil Hudson:Yeah, good point. Aaron Kami, what is your advice on how to make writing and screenwriting a less lonely pursuit? Especially when writing is a hobby. How do I meet and learn from others or get feedback, et cetera?Michael Jamin:Well, that's kind of one of the pluses of our course that Phil and I have is that there's a private Facebook group just for students. And it's a community. They trade scripts, they have table reads, they have a contest coming up. That's the community. That's their graduating class. That's their cohort. That's one way to do it.Phil Hudson:Yeah. Any other thoughts? Are youMichael Jamin:No, it's like I said, I think, I don't remember if we mentioned this or the last podcast, but it's a really good group of people where it's not, yeah,Phil Hudson:I was on top of this one.Michael Jamin:Oh, okay. So I've already mentioned it. So yeah, it's really high quality people in this group,Phil Hudson:Solid feedback. And even playing field, they're telling you things based off of what matters, not things that they've heard or read in a book. It's like, this is how a writer's room is going to give you notes. Here's a document, here's a workbook. Michael prepared with the types of notes that matter. That's the feedback he get.Michael Jamin:Yeah.Phil Hudson:Okay. Last question, Scott. Koski wants to know, Michael, would you consider your book art or Craft?Michael Jamin:Oh, good question. When I'm writing for tv, I consider that craft. I consider it. I know it is. I'm getting notes. I'm getting feedback. It's very collaborative. I don't think art at its core, and this is open for debate, but I think art, its core is not about compromising. And when you work with a bunch of people or when you're collaborating, you are going to compromise it. Compromises have to be made. And so it's everyone's work. And that's why I feel like it's craft. But I was thinking about this last night, and then I was like, well, what about Michelangelo? Sistine Chapel? He took notes on the Sistine Chapel. He was working for the Pope. He had to put some angels in there that he didn't want to put in. He had to compromise his vision. But you certainly wouldn't say the Sistine Chapel is not art.It certainly is. So I'm a little confused as to what my definition is. Even I'm other words, I, I'm contradicting myself. I do think art is about taking something inside of you and expressing it in a way that helps you understand yourself and helps you understand the world around you. And in that way, people can see it or watch it and enjoy it, and help them understand themselves. I think there's that greater good. I don't think craft necessarily does that. I think craft can sometimes be, the studio will give me a note and I'll say, okay, I can do that. That's what you want. I can do that. I don't think it's necessarily playing for the greater good. It's what they want and they're paying me. I also don't think design is necessarily art design. Sometimes a can be about selling something. So the design of the Apple boxes that they sell their phones and really beautiful, well done. But the design has an intention, and that is to sell this image of apple, of this blank slate, this pure white open for possibility, creative, blank slate. So is that art? No, I don't think so. I think it's design. I also, so there's art, craft, and design, but you can have your own opinion, feelings. And this debate has been raging for centuries.Phil Hudson:Yeah. I apologize. You might've answered this for you. Your book, is it art or is it craft? Oh,Michael Jamin:For me, the intention was only art. I was drawing upon my craft to make art. Whereas I don't usually draw upon my craft to make art. I usually do it to make a TV show. And so the book is called a Paper Orchestra. And when I wrote it, I was very, very, I was struggling with this. I've read similar books that were written by television writers. And to me, they felt like they had, I could tell they were written by sitcom writers. That's not to say that it was goofy. It just felt like it wasn't deep enough and it felt like they had taken the network note. Often we get notes from the network with the networks, can you round the edges off? And when you're writing on a network TV show, we'll often anticipate these notes and we'll do the notes in advance. But for this book, I was very insecure about it. I was kept on arguing with my wife, does this feel like it was written by Sid Car Rider? And sometimes she'd say, yeah, and sometimes she'd say, no, no, no. And so I was always pushing myself. I wanted to be seen as an author, not as a sitcom writer who wrote a book that feels like a sitcom. And so whether or not I achieved that, that's up for the individual to decide. But that was my intention. And I think intention's important. Think it counts for something.Phil Hudson:Absolutely. And it sounds to me like you took the craft that you've been working on for years and years and utilize it as a litmus test for your art.Michael Jamin:And if anyone wants to sign up when it drops or when I start touring, it's michael jamin.com/upcoming. But it's interesting because when people have enjoyed it and performed it as I performed, or when they've read,Phil Hudson:It's fantastic.Michael Jamin:Thank you. It's very visual. So I think when I write these scenes, I think, oh, what are we watching in our mind's eye as this scene goes? So there's that. I do write as if I'm a screenwriter. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get rid of that. And I do write, it's not high literature. I understand that. I don't know if I ever could write high literature, and I don't think, it was never my intention.Phil Hudson:I think it just speaks to the value of art. And you said it's to the greater good. And I think sometimes the greater good is what do I want to write? What is best for my soul?Michael Jamin:Yes.Phil Hudson:That's the intention. And that is the greater good. And that's the difference between canon fodder is the term that comes to mind. I don't know if that's appropriate, but it's just the BSS that can be mass produced, the AI generated content that can be mass produced versus the singular thing that only Michael Jamin could do because it spoke to his soul and came out of him based off of what he needed to express at this moment and what was going on in his life, reflecting on all of the experiences he's had.Michael Jamin:And that's interesting because how I protect myself from ai, because people say, what are you doing about ai? AI cannot write my stories because it hasn't lived my life. And these are very personal stories, so it just can't, AI might be able to do other things, but it can't do what I'm doing. Yeah.Phil Hudson:Yep. Beautiful stuff, man. I love when we end on these great little notes like that because I think it's incredibly valuable to people who are struggling with this. I know a lot of writers think they're artists and they want to be artists, and you are. You're doing something pure. And with the right intention, regardless of the quality that you can do now compared to everybody else, it's the best you can do with what you have right now. That isMichael Jamin:Art. And that's the advantage that an amateur or non-professional screenwriter or writer has over what we do. I'm a professional writer. It means I get paid. People are paying me to put out stuff that maybe I don't necessarily want to do, but I'm taking the money so I have to do it. But when you're writing for yourself as an amateur or you get to write whatever you want and you don't have to compromise and you don't have to worry about the money, you already have a job on the side, what you're doing, not you, but what those people are doing is more pure in that sense. You are writing because you just want to write, it's closer. It probably has a closer chance of being art than what I do when I take the paycheck.Phil Hudson:But it's probably also the thing that is going to get you into the machine to become the professional paid writer who does the craft?Michael Jamin:If you don't, right? If you stop thinking about, can I sell this and start thinking about how beautiful is this thing I'm making? And we were just talking to him a minute ago about Wolf of Wall Street, how I'm only a quarter way through, but every scene is so interesting. The writing is so great in every scene. Not lazy, nothing lazy about it, man. Yeah,Phil Hudson:Yeah. Well, it kind of leads to the end of the podcast. And so before we jump the gun, what do we say? Keep writing. That's Keep writing DoMichael Jamin:Phil. Great. Another great talk. Alright, everyone, keep watching. We have great stuff for you on the website. We like to always like to plug that.

Step into the world of coaching brilliance today as we embark on an extraordinary journey with coaching industry rockstar, Michael Bungay Stanier!  Michael's reputation precedes him! Armed with a treasure trove of simple and remarkably effective ideas, he has left an indelible mark on countless individuals seeking growth and transformation. From the resounding success of his bestseller, The Coaching Habit, with over a million copies sold, to the launch of his latest book, How to Work with Almost Anyone: Five Essential Questions, his wisdom knows no bounds!  Prepare to be inspired as we dive into the mind of the one and only Michael Bungay Stanier and unravel the secrets to his remarkable success!  Bio: Michael Bungay Stanier helps people know that they're awesome and are doing great. He is best known for The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book of the century and recognized as a classic. His most recent book, How to Work with (Almost) Anyone, shows how to build the best possible relationship with key people at work. Michael was a Rhodes Scholar. He is Australian and lives in Toronto, Canada.  How It All Started for Michael Michael's journey into the coaching world began during his teenage years when he noticed he had a knack for listening to his friends and offering advice. Intrigued by the power of asking questions and listening to the answers, he became a crisis telephone counselor for youth. That experience taught him the value of staying curious and understanding that the first answer might not be the whole truth. His interest in coaching grew while working in the world of innovation and organizational change in London and Boston. In 2001, he moved to Toronto, where he did his first coach training and launched a coaching practice that led him to write books on coaching. Becoming a Reference in the World of Coaching Michael's journey to becoming a reference in the coaching industry took shape with the publication of his book, The Coaching Habit. Initially rejected by traditional publishers, he decided to self-publish the book and took control of the brand, look, and feel. His commitment to making it a classic and marketing it extensively through podcasts and writing contributed to its success. The book focuses on simplifying coaching, emphasizing curiosity, and refraining from rushing to give advice. That resonated with readers and made it highly influential. Subsequent books and his unique podcast, Two Pages with MBS, further solidified his position as a prominent figure in the world of coaching. Balancing Curiosity and Giving Advice A lesson Michael learned was about the power of staying curious and helping people figure things out themselves. As a coach, he emphasizes the importance of understanding a client's challenges before rushing to provide immediate solutions. He cautions against trying to solve the wrong problem and highlights the value of enabling individuals to learn and grow, fostering their autonomy and self-sufficiency. By refraining from rescuing them and instead being a guide in their journey, he believes coaches can add value to their clients' lives. How to Work with Almost Anyone Michael's latest book, How to Work with Almost Anyone: Five Essential Questions, addresses the critical aspect of working relationships and their impact on success and happiness. The book explores having "almost" working relationships, where some individuals may present challenges. Michael invites readers to consider how improving key working relationships can lead to positive outcomes. The title resonates with many, as almost everyone has experienced challenging working relationships at some point. The book offers essential questions and insights to help individuals navigate and enhance those crucial connections. Building the Best Possible Relationships Michael emphasizes the importance of having a keystone conversation with colleagues or employees before diving into work. He explains that the keystone conversation is about understanding each other's best qualities, preferred working practices, past successful and frustrating experiences, and how to repair the relationship when things go wrong. He points out that having this conversation can make working relationships less awkward and more productive. Creating Safe Environments Michael believes that while there may not always be a completely safe environment, there can be safe individuals. He explains that psychological safety is essential for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves honestly and openly. That is why fostering an environment where team members can be straightforward and share their positive and negative experiences is necessary. Applying Keystone Conversations  Implementing keystone conversations in the orientation process can be valuable when onboarding new team members, enabling them to understand their colleagues' working styles and preferences. There are other contexts where that practice can also be helpful, such as hiring students and working in procurement to build better relationships and save time and money. The Five Questions of the Keystone Conversation The Amplify Question (People asking each other about the moments when they are at their best and in a flow state.) The Steady Question (Individuals discussing the logistics and mechanics of how they prefer to work together, including communication tools and working hours.) The Good Date Question (People learning from their past successful working relationships to understand what contributed to their success.) The Bad Date Question (Understanding past frustrating working relationships to avoid repeating negative patterns.) The Repair Question (Individuals agreeing on how to fix things when issues arise, emphasizing the inevitability of conflicts and the importance of addressing them constructively.)The Importance of Strong Working Relationships Michael stresses the significance of building strong working relationships. He explains that improving challenging relationships can profoundly impact the reduction of stress and the improvement of overall well-being. Fostering positive relationships and creating a safe and supportive environment can lead to more successful outcomes within and outside of organizations. Best Possible Relationship  The "best possible relationship" concept connects with the keystone conversation. The best possible relationships are characterized by psychological safety, bravery, and the ability to repair themselves. The keystone conversation is a tactic to help individuals build such relationships by discussing their best qualities, working practices, past experiences, and ways to address challenges. Coaching Session with Brené Brown Michael had a personal experience of coaching Brené Brown during a podcast interview. He remembers being surprised when she asked him to coach her during the conversation and how he successfully guided her through the coaching process, showcasing the power of silence and active listening in coaching.

Faction Cannot Prevail (5) (audio)  David Eells – 7/9/23  Destruction of Satanist Faction Camp to Free the Women and Others David Eells -7/7/03 I was praying for the women that the satanist faction cult was taking advantage of in our part 4, where the angels showed the destruction of their camp. (As with almost all dreams, they are not real time, but prophecies of what is coming.  Heb 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, conviction of things unseen.  Both sets of angels who have spoken to us agreed. They told us many times things like “it's already done”, or “He is already here.” They do not dwell in time and speak that way. They have always told us to believe we have received before we see the promised revelations fulfilled as Jesus said in Mar 11:24.  I asked the Lord to give me a word by faith at random about that destruction of their camp and the freedom of the captives and put my finger on “Thy salvation cometh”, wow. (Jesus in the Man-child body of overcomers is coming to destroy the Edomite Factious camp and to set the captives free; too open the prison to them that are bound as in Isa 61, Jesus' first sermon.) Isa 62:11  Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion (the Bride), Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his (Jesus) reward is with him, and his recompense before him. (I.e., Judgment of the wicked faction to deliver the Bride and trafficked women and children, before the Bride is rewarded.) 12  And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken. (Many will see the anointing on the resurrection of the Kingdom with its new power and fruit.) Isa 63:1  Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? (This is the factious Edomite stronghold, representing the satanist faction camp and their trafficking of women and children.) this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2  Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3  I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 4  For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.   Bride Escapes - Updated Anonymous – 7-5-23 In this dream I saw a story of 5 different people, both men and women. Each of them had a different story and testimony but all of them had fallen away from The Truth and had been ensnared by the enemy and had gone off the narrow path.    I don't remember the stories of the first 4 people but they did come back to the Truth and they were set free from the captivity.  I remember the ending for the 5th person which was a lady who had fallen away from Jesus, and she had been taken captive by satanists, and they had prepared to crucify her. (This was Eve but she represents the captured women also.) Now everything was set up for this murder, and they had an alter that she was tied to while being naked, and they were just about to kill and sacrifice her.  (The Satanists molest the sacrifice before the kill. The revelation of the satanists showed us Kevin standing behind Eve with his hands on her shoulder with a semicircle of other satanists behind him.  The Lord told me who these men are and we know them and we have a file on every one of them. They are the previous factious leaders who all hated Eve for she revealed the truth about them in her dreams. And also they are the few locals who serve Kevin whom we also know. I told Kevin years ago that he would unite all the factions but I knew it was to destroy them. They know they would all hang if caught but the Man-child is coming to slaughter them.) But then something happened, and all the satanists had extreme fear and they all scattered and ran far away from this alter. (The destruction of their camp began. They ran away from this alter because they don't want to be associated with something that will get them hanged at Gitmo, or 4 other places, with the other trafficking satanists. Too late, we know them all.) The lady was left there alone and able to now escape and I knew Jesus had saved her and given her another chance to be part of Him.   (When I was cooking, I had a revelation that these 5 people are people that fell away from UBM but they will be back fully with Jesus. (Oh no, Kevin, witnesses, against you and the other satanists! I told Kevin years ago that his own trusted people would witness against him. Better set the women free quickly Kevin and make sure they are in good shape.)   The 5th lady is Eve, who the enemy had planned to sacrifice, but Jesus in the Man-child instead set the captives free. (Just as in Isa 61, which is the beginning of the Man-child ministry as it was with Jesus.)     Faith Overcomes Witchcraft Attacks  Anonymous 5/15/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was walking through a forest with brethren, and we came to an open area that had demonic symbolism drawn into the dirt. There was this creepy altar set up and a giant stick that had a human body stuck into it and bones all over the ground. (Evil altars of Satan worship have been found all over the country. Jdg 6:25-27 And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Take thy father's bullock, even the second bullock seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it; 26 and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.   27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. (This is sacrificing to demons like the satanists do.) 1Co 10:19  What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.  Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. These satanists have killed our people for various reasons. Because they were witnesses of their sins, because they were partakers of the GCR and would help UBM, because of their dreams, etc.)   We all started praying intensely in tongues and in our mind. Then I saw in spirit that there were a group of witches and warlocks that gathered here in the forest to worship Satan, and that each of them was assigned to kill at least one person. I saw that as they were gathered here, they all began to shapeshift into crows (Unclean spirit birds)  and flew off back to where they came from. Rev 18:2  And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.  Some of them flew to different parts of USA and some flew to different parts of Mexico. (Cursing thoughts and words send witchcraft attacks against others in the spiritual realm that manifest in the physical.)  Psa 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue. Jas 3:8-10 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.  I then saw one of the witches fly to an underground subway that was packed with people, as she hit the ground she turned into her human form. She stabbed this random white man, and then she turned back into a crow and flew off.  (Sandy saw witches go to the cities to release curses.) I saw a warlock fly into a shopping center in Mexico as a crow, and then turn into a human when touching the ground and he beat up this random man, then flew off leaving the man for dead.   Each of the warlocks had been told to half-kill someone and leave them to die later, and then come back later to grab the body and to bring it to this spot.  (They curse people who die as a sacrifice to satan for his power.) I thought this whole situation is crazy, and I told the brethren what I saw so that they could specifically pray regarding it.   I then heard in the spirit a lady screaming, and then I saw her bleeding and in very much pain; she appeared to be in an abandoned dirty white concrete building.  I asked God to take us there. Then we appeared out the front of the white concrete building, and it looked like it was in the same forest where I saw the altar. (We can and do rescue some of their victims by God's grace.)  A woman was inside crying and groaning in pain, and we went in. We could see that she was bleeding heavily and looked as if she was about to die. (Some have had unreasonable pains that we drive off by faith.  If accepted who knows what they would receive.) As we went in, it was made known to us the evil people had attacked her with knives and left her for dead, with the intention of collecting her body after. (representing for sacrifice) We started sharing with her the Real Good News, that Jesus paid the price for her to be set free and completely healed, and she doesn't have to accept death or pain or bleeding. She agreed with Jesus, and we encouraged her to only think about Jesus and to thank Jesus in her mind, "Thank you Jesus for healing me."   I told her to keep thanking Jesus speaking out loud that he healed her and to not think about anything else. And to keep thanking Jesus and that the healing would manifest. She agreed and kept thanking Jesus in her mind and with her mouth. We told her that if the warlocks come back to call on Jesus and He will save her, and the enemy will flee. (There is power in speaking the Word.) Rom 10:9-10 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  Act 2:21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.  We left her and kept praying and we asked God to take us to another victim, and suddenly, we were in a busy subway underground and there was a white man lying on the ground dead. But no one wanted to touch him, and everyone was trying to ignore him. We thought that was so strange because usually even people in the world would rush to help someone dying. It reminded me how if someone had leprosy and no one would touch them or want anything to do with them.   I looked over and saw the warlock in crow form, sitting up near the roof watching everything.   We went over to the dead white man, and we said, “In the nature, character and authority of Jesus, Arise”. He came to life, but he still had the marks from being stabbed. We felt God wanted the marks to stay there so he could witness of what happened and we told him that. Mat 10:7-8 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.   NENT Joh 20:27-29 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not unbelieving, but believing. 28 Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? blessed they that have not seen, and have believed.  We were then taken to the shopping center where the beat-up man was. He was groaning and, in much pain, as if dying. But no one would help him, and everyone would ignore him. (Many Christians do not have the knowledge or faith to do this job but those who do should act.)  We went up to him and spoke to him about Jesus, but he didn't believe, and he said he deserves this and confessed the curse. He didn't want to hear the Truth. (Many don't have the understanding of justification by faith in the sacrifice. What is spoken comes from the heart and will come to pass, good or evil. Luk 6:45 NENT The good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth the good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth the evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.)  We wanted to know why everyone was ignoring this man, so we went into the office that was near where this man was laying and spoke to a man behind the counter. We asked why everyone was ignoring that man and not wanting to help. He said that he couldn't talk about it and to not speak about it.  There was another man sitting nearby and who overheard us speaking, and he said to us, “The warlocks around here run everything. They kill people all the time, and if anyone interferes with them, they get hurt too, so everyone just minds their own business. The warlocks will collect the body when the man dies. No one will talk about it because they fear the warlocks.” We said, "Jesus is greater" and the man said he would like to see that. Joh 16:33 NENT These things have I spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  We went back out to the man to talk about Jesus, but he didn't want to hear it. Then we were taken back to the altar in the woods, and there were now more bodies there. So, we commanded in the authority of Jesus that no more bodies can be brought here, and no more people can be killed by these people. (Pray about it, declare it to stop in His Name, have faith and it will cease.) NENT Luk 10:19 Lo, I have given you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.  Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.  Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.    The lady who had been dying in the concrete building, then appeared. She was now whole, and she was praising God, because Jesus had completely healed her because of her faith. (Exercising faith has proven results. Agree with the Word and have His love and blessings. Believe, speak and testify to others.) Mar 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.      Watch and Fight with God's Weapons  Vanessa Weeks - May 2023 (David's notes in red)  In a dream, some of us in UBM were in a room that was made of wood. It was daytime and sunny, and there were windows around the room. A few bees came in and were bothering us. (The enemy from outside our house, sent to disturb us. (The ones that only follow the unleavened bread are protected in the ark of the Lord and the promises from the wooden cross.)  Some of us were sitting in chairs, and I was in a chair with a tall back. I was leaning back in it and was half asleep.1Th 5:5-8 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;  6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.   I could hear some people to my left who were also resting in chairs were being bothered by bees. I knew these bees were flying around their heads (these are thoughts that bother us), and some others had cans of bug spray. They were spraying the bees so they would leave, but it was not working. (The weapons of man do not work. 2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;)  I was trying to sleep during this, and then some bees came over to my left ear and were buzzing. Someone came over to spray the bees where I was, and I knew it would not work. The bug spray was disturbing me more than the bees, so I said to myself, "I will have to get up and tell the bees to go." And so, I stood up to my right and told the bees to go, and knew they had to obey me. Then I woke up (in real life.) (Self-works masks the symptoms but it often brings with it other curses. We are told to speak to the mountain and it will remove. Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.)  Eph 6:11-17 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.   14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:   I believe the Lord is saying that when the enemy is coming against others in the body, we need to fight for them, or the enemy may attack us. This is what happened to me in the dream and the Lord has been exhorting us to use His weapons to fight for each other. We are members one of another.      Dream of Bees Removing The Veil  Isaac Payne 2/12/21 (David's notes in red)  In this dream, I was inside what seemed like an Antique Mall. (An antique mall means, “a place where something of, or belonging to, ancient times is sold.) Jer 6:16 Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.  The mall (The mall is what the world loves, the things of the world and “Buying and selling”.) was dingy and had dull colors. This Mall was 4 or 5 stories high and the length of the building seemed endless. People close to me in my social circle in life were with me. (I don't know who they were, just that they were following me.) This mall was packed with people, literally shoulder to shoulder and there was no room for anyone to walk around or shop. (I don't think people were there to shop though.) I don't know what floor I was on, but I knew I had to find Brother David. However, it was too congested to even move let alone try to exit the mall if you wanted to leave.   Suddenly, a path was made for me between the people (People could represent “the nations” or Babylon.) and it was clear and concise. (The Way of holiness into the wilderness. Psa 77:19 Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.)   The people were moved to the left side and the right side and remained standing in a single file line. It was like the Red Sea parting, except it was people instead of water this time. Like I stated before, I knew I had to find Brother David! I walked through these paths that were made for me, looking for David. In the carnal this would have been an impossible task to find Brother David, but my path was clear and I had no doubts of finding him. I was just looking at everyone to see if it was Brother David. (Isaac searching for bother David amongst all the people, could represent “looking for the coming man-child/David's” to follow.)  I made it to the top floor of this building and came to the end of the line where there stood a door. Everyone was waiting at the door with what seemed like permission to enter the room beyond the door. (Permission means, “consent or authorization.” Believers have authority to use the Name of Jesus and the keys to the Kingdom of God.) The room beyond the door was not crowded and had ample space. (The room is not crowded because not many will enter through this door. Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.)  While standing in the path, I looked through the left side of the line with everyone standing single file, "No Brother David there." I looked at the right side of the line with everyone standing single file, and there was Brother David standing right before the door in a single file line. He was wearing a beekeeper's veil covering his head. It wasn't a bad thing, not a veil over his eyes by no means, yet it was more like, Exo 34:33-34 And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 34 But when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.   David said to me, "I'll meet you in room number 1900." The next room beyond the doors was room # 1900. (This number is a date that many equate to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a much larger way. https://www2.cbn.com/article/revival/revival-changed-century ) David walked in and began to talk with me. It seemed like Michael Hare was with us also. It seemed like the elders were giving me Godly instruction of things to come. (1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.)  Suddenly, I was translated to another room, except this room was not dingy but very white. (Taken into the holy place.) There was white all around, the floors, the walls, I don't remember there being a ceiling though. (We have an open heaven made available to us by the power of the Holy Spirit.) I was standing by myself in this inner room, but still there were people crowded on the left and the right side of the outer room standing single file waiting to enter beyond what seemed like a door. But this time there wasn't any evidence of a door just more like an invisible door preventing access. The path between the people was still clear as earlier.   Bees suddenly started swarming the rooms and seemed to be attacking everyone. (The bees represent demons and factious attacks. Beelzebub is the same as Baalzebub, which means, “lord of the flies.”) Then I saw David walking through the path coming into this inner room, he had the beekeeper's veil still on and took it off in the midst of the swarm of bees. And he said, "I'm taking this stupid thing off." None of the bees were attacking him, not even a sting as he walked through the midst of them. (We have authority in Jesus' name over the “bees” which are demons, and they cannot touch us when we know who we are in Christ.) He walked beyond the invisible doors and came next to me and sat down on the ground. I also was sitting on the ground also. (I think the beekeeper's veil represents “man's work or a physical form of protection.” It could also be a covering, concealing the glories in a person. We are told the veil is the flesh in Hebrews, which blinds us to the holy of holies. Moses wore the veil so people would recognize him. It hid the glory on his face which was divine. When in the Lord's presence he took it off.  As we get closer to the Lord, the veil is removed so we can behold Him more as He is, [no more flesh] and no longer have need a physical form of protection. Son 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead. Son 6:7 Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Behind thy veil.)  Bees suddenly started swarming the rooms and seemed to be attacking everyone. (The bees represent demons and factious attacks.) Then I saw David walking through the path coming into this inner room, he had the beekeeper's veil still on and he took it off in the midst of the swarm of bees. He said, "I'm taking this stupid thing off." None of the bees were attacking him, not even a sting as he walked through the midst of them. He walked beyond the invisible doors and came next to me and sat down on the ground. I also was sitting on the ground also.  After him, I saw our sister, Mrs. Arney walking the same path into the inner room wearing the beekeeper's veil, but it was very loose as to not provide any protection, (concealing her glory) but again, the bees did not attack her at all, not even a sting. I looked next to me and sitting on the ground on the right side of David was Brother Brandy Arney. We were both sitting on the right side of David and Brother Arney wasn't wearing a beekeeper's veil either and none of the bees attacked him, not even a sting.   The bees were in both rooms now. At this point I believe David, Brother Arney and Sister Arney were NOT wearing the beekeepers' veils and the bees did not attack them. I saw other people come into this room. I did not recognize them. They tried the veil on, but once they did the bees would engulf the inside of the beekeeper's veil and start to sting them. I took the veil and tried it on. I made like a tent out of it, and no bees came in and they were not attacking me.  I sat there with the beekeeper's veil overtop of me with no issues. I looked next to me and saw Brother David smirking at me. I thought to myself, "Uh oh, what are you doing Brother David?" He had his leg on one side of the beekeeper's veil that I made a tent out of. His leg was holding down the veil so bees did not get in. There was a bee just flying around his leg. Still smirking he lifted his leg and the bee flew underneath his leg into this beekeeper veil I was underneath. The bee came toward my feet and just flew around, but never stinging me or causing me any trouble.   Me and Brother David began to laugh really hard, as it was a funny gesture that he did. I was glad that he had done that. (I really believe this part reminds me of what Brother Michael Hare was talking about, parents letting their children go through their own trials to build them up and make them stronger children. I think this was showing me, like Michael stated, we don't want to smother our children and never let them grow up because of our own selfishness, and I feel that was what Father was showing me and how UBM is maturing the saints to produce faith.)      Seducing Spirit   Tianna Fire 4/11/23 (David's notes in red)  In a dream I saw a demon that disguised itself as a woman, and I felt it disguised as a man too, but I was seeing it as a woman. (Deception is a primary tactic the enemy will use.) NENT Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no one lead you astray. (These sexual perverted demons are in the factious. Once God corrected me about the factious being dogs.  He said no some of them are hyenas. It's a weird dog that changes sex.  I.e. Bisexuals. There are many of these in the faction.)  It would specifically target men and women that are desiring to follow Jesus. I watched it jump onto sleeping men and awake them and it would lie on them with its false fake pretty face and bewitch them as if they were put under a spell, and it would trigger all these pleasurable senses on the men. (Being asleep represents not being spiritually awake and not discerning the Truth.) I saw under the false pretty face and its face was really ugly, distorted, and scary like a scary creature in a horror film. (Incubus emulates a man and succubus emulates a woman. These are demons that emulate sex with humans. Incubus had wings.) Its body was extremely thin, and it was shaped like a human and it had wings, but on the outside appearance to this man it looked like a nice human body. Also there are the frogs. (Rev 16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs. And Heqet/Heket was an Egyptian goddess of fertility, represented in the form of a frog.)  Gen 8:2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 3 and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs: 4 and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 5 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the [a]streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.  The creature would trick, seduce, and bewitch the people it got on top of, doing sexual things with it, and it was extremely hard for them to resist even if their hearts didn't want to; it was a big battle for them. The man heard it speak with a gentle nice women's voice, but I saw it with a giant creepy mouth and giant teeth and it made a creepy scream or roar.  (Pray before going to sleep, pray for the blessing of discernment. Pray for other brethren to be protected. Remember: Pro 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.   Psa 4:8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.   And Isa 44:20 He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?   And 2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing beforehand, beware lest, carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness.)      Targeting Bride Vision - Update  Anonymous 6/3/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw a woman with bleached blonde hair sitting on a chair. (A fake Bride, with fake submission to the sun/Son, Eve, whose mind was taken over by the demons in Kevin because he lusted after her and hated her dreams that told on him. Like any mom, she only wanted her sons back and they deceived her. Only Jesus can get them back but both her and Eddie are unbelievers now and the believing parents sanctify the children according to 1Co 7. We pray unceasingly for her boys.)  Standing right behind her was a man, (Kevin) and further behind them were other men, and they were all in this satanic looking church. I felt they were witches and satanists knowingly.  (The Lord told me who these men are the previous factious leaders who all hated Eve for she revealed the truth about them. And also they are the few locals who serve Kevin's demons whom we also know. I told Kevin years ago that he would unite all the factions but I knew it was to destroy them when the man-child comes.) As soon as I saw them, I didn't want to see it, so I rebuked it and thought of scripture, but it came back. The man and woman said they will kill me, and fear and unbelief tried to jump on me, but I didn't agree with it. I thought "No you won't, God won't let you. I am hidden in Christ, in the secret place of the Most High, and it's not I who lives but Christ living in me." Then the man standing directly behind her (The actual Satanic leader is the demonic power in Kevin who is only duped.) made a cutting the throat sign with his hands, and I said, “That won't ever happen,” and it all went away because I didn't accept or agree with it. (So far, they can only take out the willfully disobedient or unbelieving. Most recently the faction sent demons of unbelief and doubt which subtly turn against myself and the ministry speaking against our direction, which was confirmed by Word, prophecy angels, etc.  Cast them down in all their forms. This is a test to purify the Bride.)  I asked God if I have done something wrong to see this, and I felt He said that they aren't coming just against you, but they are targeting Jesus' Bride and His elect. But specifically attacking the Bride with assignments of death, but they won't prevail. I felt they will be, and are, sending lying symptoms and lying thoughts and feelings related to death but to cast it all down because, we won't die but we will live and declare the works of the Lord, and Jesus set us free from the law of sin and death. I felt these satanists won't be able to touch Jesus' Bride because, they won't believe these lies, and the enemy can only stay afflicting those that believe he has the right to afflict them.   I got Rev12:1-8 for this dream. Here the Dragon seeks to devour the Man-child and Woman but fails. Instead, they cast him and his body of accusers out of heaven. God is going to free His elect people from bondage to the predator Dragon of Babylon. The mouth and words of Satan tried to devour the Man-child and Woman and failed because the saints in the crucified life are full of faith. Rev 12:9-12 ASV And the great dragon (Satan in his body of his believers)was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.   10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. (Like the Satan Faction prove who is their father by being the accuser of the brethren. John the Baptist and then Jesus rebuked these same people in their day.)   11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.      His Choice  Anonymous 6/29/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt I was invited to this rich man's house, whom I had never met before, and his house was located on a giant mountain, and the views were absolutely gorgeous. (The giant mountain represents the Kingdom of God, Mount Zion. Lord Jesus is the Richest of All, His place is in the best location and views ever.)  I did not know when I first arrived, but I learned later how this man had done background searches on many different women to find one to marry. (He searches our hearts.) He had narrowed it down to me and one other lady who was thin and had blonde hair.  When I first got there, I didn't know why I was there, but the man invited me and this other lady into his giant modern mansion. It was extremely clean and the air was very fresh. (The mansion represents the house of King Jesus and a place of holiness.) NENT Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare you a place, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, YE be also.  The man toured us around the house and asked us a lot of questions about ourselves and he didn't say much but observed each of us continually. Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness.  Job 34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.  Pro 15:3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.  Heb 4:13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.  This lady was pretty, outgoing and very smart and eloquent with words and bright and talkative and she had many gifts and things she was good at. I was the complete opposite to her, me being introverted and having no hobbies other than Jesus, and me not even being a good cook, and not good at words or English. I rarely said anything and when I did say something it was simple and blunt. For example, I am not a good cook, but this lady was an exquisite cook. This lady did most of the speaking the whole time, she was extroverted, which I was fine with, because I didn't have much to say. (The Jezebel spirit is prideful and desires to be recognized, which is completely contrary to what the Lord is looking for in a Bride. Psa 116:6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.)  1Pe 3:2-5 beholding your chaste behavior coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; 4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.  When the three of us sat on the couch, he told us that he had researched us and done background checks and he was going to choose one of us as his wife.  Jer 17:10  I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.  Psa 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.  2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.  The blonde lady stood up as if offended that he was comparing me to her, and she said I was boring. She got all upset and started saying things about me that were not nice, and she had a meltdown and went into another room to cry. The room she went into was glass so I could see what was going on. (Totally revealing of all things in the self, nothing is hidden and is all plain to see.)  Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.  Gal 6:3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.  Rom 1:29-32 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,   31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.  Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.  I just sat there the whole time with neutral feelings and emotions. The man got up and went into the glass room to talk to the lady. (The elders try to talk to them, to minister the Word and get them to confess their sin and repent.) I assumed it was to comfort her, which was fine. I felt bad that she was hurt, and I expected the man to come tell me to leave.  As I watched them, the women looked like she was yelling, and then the man said something to her, and she got all upset again and stormed off. (The factious do not receive correction. They have pride, unforgiveness, and rejection and get offended easily; if they do not submit to the Word and repent, they get mad and leave.)  Then he came back and told me he had asked her to leave. (NENT Mat 7:23 And then will I profess to them that I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work lawlessness.)  1Co 13:1-8 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.   4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth.      Fake Fellowship To Plunder The Kingdom Exposed   Tianna Fire 4/27/23 (David's notes in red)  I had a dream that there was a young man and a woman casually hanging around outside what was my house in the dream. (Not like my house in real life.) I was friendly to them and they acted friendly back and acted as if they were interested in Jesus and the Truth. They seemed like baby Christians, new in the Lord.   I didn't feel led to invite them into the house, but the way they were speaking was that they wanted to come inside to fellowship. They used Bible verses that say to help those in need and to help those interested in Jesus and to have grace towards them etc. (Beware that satan uses some truth to enter.) I let them come inside to speak about Jesus. (1Co 13:7 Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.)  They looked around the house trying to be casual, and they actually did not want to speak about the real truth. Instead, it turned out they were really interested in the setup of the house, what was in each room and where our valuables were. I told them we didn't have many material items and our most valuable items would be our Bibles, and the most expensive physical thing we have is a laptop and phone. They didn't believe me, and they wanted to look in the bedrooms to find something with more physical value. I said there's only boxes and children's toys in those rooms. (1Sa 16:7 for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.)  After this they were quick to leave, and I followed them to the exit door. The lady walked out the door first and the man was still inside about to walk out, and I saw clearly in the spirit that they were pretending to follow and be interested in Jesus to trick me so they could come in to check out the house to later rob it.   I could see this was true, and as I saw it, I spoke it out to them. The man stopped walking and turned to me, and he looked so shocked and taken back that I could know that. The woman turned to me and was shocked too, but then she started to defend herself and make up excuses and say it wasn't true and she told the man to hurry, and they both left. I felt that they would still try to come back and steal things, but I would just lock everything up and pray and everything would also be fine. (The factious seek to gain control and they always steal when they get the chance.)      Enemy Puts On A Show  Anonymous 7/1/23 (David's notes in red)    In my dream David and Michael had a giant forest that was possibly 1000 acres or more. All the brethren lived on this land in their own house in a different section and there were main areas where the brethren would gather. (This is a promise we expect to receive for the the true people of God.)  I went to one of the main buildings used for gathering and I saw Kevin there, holding an assault rifle and pacing around everywhere.  I ran and told Michael (Michael means, "Who is like God?") And Michael told me that he is just putting on a show, that he can't harm us even if he wanted to. God won't let him even shoot, but he just walks around trying to intimidate us. Michael was calm and had such extreme faith. (The enemy prowls around, trying to devour us. Yet we are hidden in Christ and protected by Our Almighty Father.) 1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.  For a while the factious man just walked around everywhere holding the gun, trying to get us to fear him, but everyone just ignored him and eventually he left and never came back again. NENT Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  One late night, I was in the house I lived in, and I had a question about the Word but no one else was awake for me to ask. I looked out my window and it was dark and all I could see was trees. As I was looking outside, I noticed these lights flashing around, and it was David and Michael. They walked to my house with flashlights. (Carrying the Word, the Light of Truth, going about pushing the darkness out of the way.)  1Pe 5:2-3 Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.  Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.  I was super excited, because God answered my prayer as I had a question so I ran out to them. They told me they were just patrolling, yet they were happy to answer my question. (Father and Jesus are always protecting us and watching over us, even when we don't think they are.)      On A Leash  Tianna Fire - September 2022 (David's notes in red)  In the woman's fellowship, when the women were praying, I saw a giant black demon that had a head of a stag beetle cross with a bull and a human shaped body. The demon had its head up high with pride and its shoulders pushed back and it had big strong muscles and looked so fierce and strong. The demon looked down on me and it was radiating pride and tried to make me fear it, due to its physical appearance. It physically looked so tough. Behind the demon was all darkness.   I then saw it fall face down as if someone had kicked it down from its back. I saw on the demon's neck a chain and I looked up above to where the chain was leading, and it led to a bright light that looked like a hole from above. I then saw Jesus sitting down on a throne, holding the end of the chain. (I felt the enemy tries to intimidate us and make us think it's so strong when really the enemy can't do anything unless The Lord allows it. The enemy are just dogs on a leash, and they only have power that is allowed them by God or from us when we are in sin.) (The dog must be a factious person that is bound. The Lord in a dream told us to send the angels to incarcerate the dogs until their lethal injection took effect.)      Witchcraft from the Faction Against the Finances  Winnie Osegueda 2/8/23 (David's notes in red)   I was lying in bed and I was not quite asleep yet and I had the following vision:  It was dark out and I saw a man in front of an ATM outside of a bank attempting to retrieve money. There was a small/medium black dog in a crate and this crate was not the usual dog crate. This crate had much thicker black bars, like they do in prison, as opposed to normal dog crates. It looked exactly like a tiny jail.   The dog attempted to stick its mouth out and bite the man retrieving the money while simultaneously striving to move the crate closer and closer to this man so that he would not be able to get the money. End of vision.   I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random and received:  Isa 26:5 (3-7 for context) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock. 5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.  I also received:  Psa 103:2-5 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.       Protected By Faith  Anonymous 5/21/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed that I was living in a house with 50 other brethren. We all lived together in unity and sought the Lord every day. (This represents how the true Church should function together.) We had new brethren join us all the time, and everyone was of different spiritual maturity, but we always tried to encourage and build up the faith of the younger brethren in the Lord. (NENT 1Th 5:11 Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.)  Sometimes bad people would come and try to intimidate us. Sometimes they would break into the house, but it was a test for us, and we had to just stand in faith and not agree with fear. 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.  One of these times, around 50 bad men all dressed in black gathered outside the house and stood there, staring at us through the windows. (They walked in darkness with evil intent.) We all had to pray and believe that they couldn't do anything, and they couldn't touch the house. We all had strong faith, so the bad guys couldn't do anything, and they eventually just left. (NENT Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  Mat 18:18-19 ASV  Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  19  Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. )  Another time, all the brothers were out together, and only the women were left at the house. Suddenly six men broke into the house, and I ran to a bedroom with some of the sisters, and other sisters hid elsewhere. (Six is the number for fallen man.) Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.  I said to the sisters, "Just believe that God won't let them touch you, and they won't be able to touch you. Cast down all fear, doubt, unbelief and they won't even be able to touch you if you believe they can't." (Faith in the promises binds the enemy and conquers fear.)   I tried my best to encourage and build up their faith, but then the bad guys broke into the bedroom, and two of the women had such fear, and the guys were able to grab them and take them away. One of the bad guys came up to me, staring at me, trying to get me to fear. I didn't say anything, but I believed God wouldn't let him touch me. (The enemy cannot do anything without permission given to them from God, or from us. Job 1:11-12 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face. 12 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.)   Joh 19:11 Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.  1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.  He tried to intimidate me, and get me to doubt God, but I didn't, and the bad man couldn't get closer to me, let alone touch me.   The bad men took those that didn't believe, but the ones that did believe and trusted in God for protection we were kept safe.   (Pro 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.  Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.  The bad men all left, and unfortunately, less than half of the sisters were still here. 1Ti 2:14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:)  In the dream, the bad men would return many times and test us on our faith in all different ways, but we were kept safe by our Faith.      Immediate Release  Anonymous 6/30/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw a barn. There were unusual noises, like animals but none I heard before. I didn't want to go to the barn or look inside. (The barn represents the factious territory- they act out of the flesh which is no better than filthy animals.)   I turned to the house nearby on my left. It was dilapidated. Totally unlivable. Screen doors torn off hinges. Window shutters hanging by a single screw. Holes in walls and the roof. (The spiritual house of the factious is filthy and unkept.)   Smoke was coming out of the back room. I went closer and saw gruesome human bodies parts on the overgrown weedy lawn. (The factious demons are sent to dismember those of the Body that do not repent.) I got to the front porch and the wooden boards barely held my weight as though about to snap.   I heard a scream of a woman. I said through my spirit man, 'Don't do one more thing! You cease immediately by command of Sovereign God!' Immediately I heard murmuring and rustling as though cattle were about to be let out the gate. (The demons must obey The Word of God.)   I went into the house. It was so filthy, that a junkyard is cleaner and tidier! I pushed the door down to the back room where I heard the scream. I did not open it but I knocked it to the floor as though I had blown the door off. Two men stood there, like statues – Frozen (The two factious leaders.) They had their eyes to the floor. They had a lady tied up.   I said in my spirit man, 'Freedom in Jesus Name!' The lady then had a bright light all around her and was instantly gone. (The Light is the power and life of Jesus.)   I turned around and as I was walking out of the room, I said in my spirit man, 'Do as the Lord has commanded.' It was as though I had a giant Angel beside me and commanded an order. He flashed red and I did not look back but heard a terrifying cry that faded off into the distance. Then silence.   I walked out of the house, turned around and everything was on fire. (The fire represents the judgement from God that will come upon His enemies.) I turned towards the barn and its doors were wide open and I saw fire from the top. I looked at the ground where body parts had been before and I did not see them or any blood. (God heals and restores the lost and broken.)   I looked ahead to the fields where I walked from, and I thought I saw people together with a bright light glow around them. I went closer and it was as if everyone was cheering that the place was on fire.  The captives are set free! Believe and speak it. I asked for a Word by faith if what I saw was the truth, landed on overthrown, 1Co 10:5 (NENT) But with the greater part of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.  (His work is almost through on the Bride and the enemies will be removed for their testing is almost complete. The hour glass is almost empty.)     Evil Army  Tianna Fire 5/21/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw all the local brethren together worshiping, and they were all in the light and unity in Christ. I then saw an enormous army of evil spirits of all different kinds, hatred, murder, perversion, unbelief, witchcraft, unforgiveness and many more evil spirits. The evil spirits had an enormous variety of weapons and tactics. (The enemy will try anything to try and stop your progress in Christ and worshipping our Father.)  There were waves of these evil spirits and there were so many it heavily outnumbered the brethren. (Job 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. Psa 27:2-3 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.)  The evil army got closer and closer to the brethren, but there was like this invisible wall and roof of protection around them. The evil spirits couldn't get into this individual house of protection. (Psa 91:1-3 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.  Psa 91:9-11 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.)  The evil spirits could see them, (but were not able to touch them) and I felt that the evil spirits had such anger and unforgiveness towards the brethren. (Because they cannot accept that they are forever separated from God and their judgement is pending.) They were jealous of the brethren, because they could see that God loves them and God's grace was on them and Jesus was in them. And the evil spirits hate all of this and are pure evil.   The evil spirits tried to scare the brethren by making scary faces and by trying to get them to doubt God, or by trying to make them feel or think anything unholy. The evil spirits would try to intimidate and cause fear from outside this invisible protection, but the unclean spirits couldn't do anything because the brethren cast down all unholy thoughts, feelings, doubt, unbelief. The enemy couldn't do anything because the brethren ignored them, didn't entertain them and focused on and being in Jesus, they were completely protected, and the enemy couldn't do anything. (NENT Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil.) (The righteous are all protected from the factious and their evil demons can't harm us. Like the dream with the wall down the middle of the house with the stunted factious on the left that couldn't get at the tall righteous for there was no doorknob. The disobedient are at risk Heb 10:26-27)      Perfect Arrow Shot  Marie Kelton 7/3/23 (David's notes in red)  During worship at the meeting, I had an open vision of my spirit man who was dressed in all white, with a head covering on. My spirit man had a bow and arrow in her hand, she was in a dark place. In this dark place I could see a huge and tall demon. My spirit man shot the arrow right into the demon's forehead. The demon fell back and was defeated. (Arrows are like words in the scriptures. Praise God! Rejoice as our enemies are already defeated!)  I thought of this verse 1Sam 17:49: And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth. (David confessed with his mouth what he would do to Goliath and it came to pass. Let us speak this against our enemies that seem bigger than us. David had five stones but only one was needed; the tongue among the 5 senses. Confess and take the enemies down. I say, “The evil satanic faction will be destroyed and scattered and the everyone set free of their demons.” Agree with me saints and speak it.)     Printer-friendly version     © 2017 UBM | Unleavened Bread Ministries.

Before Dune, Dungeons, and Dragons along with many other fantasy series, Michael Michael created his own groundbreaking story Elric of Melniboné novel saga. Moorcock created Elric as an evil conquering, sword wielding, necromancer that looks to become an antihero, to redeem himself and learning about the world outside of the old ancient traditions of his kingdom. Does his past, or culture define who he is, or does he have the ability to change his fate? We review the latest printing of the Michael Moorcock Graphic Novel Box Set published by Titan Comics that was adapted by Julien Blondel with the art & colors by Dider Poli, Robin Recht, as well as Jean Bastide. This collection is new reader friendly which does an excellent job of sharing the dark mysterious adventurers of Michael Moorcock's Elric for today's audience.

The full band is back together! Alison is on the mend, Mere is rockin and rolling, and yup... you still have Sheldon around. And we have started with the "new" series on Netflix in the US - Bake Off - The Professionals. This is actually season 6 of the series, and this was filmed in 2021... but it's new for us. We kick off with some catching up with the team. Sheldon took on a classic feared dessert - the Souffle! He made a chocolate variety and it came out prettttty good! We start with our assessments overall on the show as this is a whole new situation with new judges for us altogether and hosts we've only see in other contexts. Sheldon has a little different first assessment that is largely focused on familiarity and the "learning" aspect of the show. Cherish and Benoit are the hosts... and they are definitely a different flavor than Paul and Prue. Alison and Mere surmise it may be that the different "level" of judging is driving some of this? We had six pars of contestants. Each with their own interesting pedigrees. Jamie and Andrea - The "young guns"; Andrew and Michael - Michael is a returning baker; Julien and Elise - they like to go a bit "extra"; Sherrezade and Merryn - unique flavors; Kevin and Maria Vittoria - England meets Italy; and Stacy and Alex - The culinary instructors. Each one brought an interesting take. Some were great... some were not. The first challenge combines a "sugnature and technical like dish: "Make a unique take on a Jaffa Cake", and "make a traditional classic Italian le tarte pietmontaise (hazelnut tart). Two teams nailed the Jaffa Cake but only did "ok" with the tarte... one went "off brief" sand it cost them. A couple of teams just struggled overall, but two had a REAL rough go of it... just making some rookie mistakes. Going into the Showpiece they were asked to take something "simple" - strawberries and cream - but make it "wow". A number of them did some really amazing elements... some had disasters. It almost felt like nobody truly "nailed it" though. It was almost the instructions were TOO simple...like a bit more direction would have delivered a better result.
