The #1 Thing You're Missing in Spiritual Warfare

Hey there. You know, we are so rich today in inspiration, but unfortunately we are dirt poor when it comes to implementation. And here's the truth. Satan is not scared of your intentions, but he is terrified of your execution. Action means so much, and we're told that faith without works is dead. So today I'm going to show you the most overlooked element when it comes to spiritual warfare.

Welcome to the Hannah Keeley show, where America's number one mom coach dishes bold truth, brain hacks, and holy spirit fire to help you ditch the chaos and send anxiety running back to hell with its hair on fire. Every week, Hannah keeps it real, from breakdowns to breakthroughs and everything in between. So if you're ready to transform your life, your family and your future, you're in the right place. Cause this is where faith gets fierce and moms get free. Come on, let's get this party started.

Now, I don't know where you are in your life right now, but I believe you are in the process of reaching your promised land. It could be you're believing for healing. It could believe you're like, you're believing for something in your family, maybe a turnaround with one of your kids, maybe you turn on in your marriage. Maybe it's, you know, you're finally ready to, to hit that wealth stream that you've been praying for and believing for. I'm telling you this, that, that God has a million ways to. To solve the problem. He's got a million ways to give you the desires of your heart because it tells us in Psalms that he does give you the. The desires of your heart. But are we doing the thing that will open up the opportunity for it to come in? So we know that there, that God is not impoverished. We know that God has more than enough to fix your situation, to fill your need, to move you to the next level. We know this. So if you feel like maybe God's holding out on you, or maybe it's like, I'm just gonna learn to have faith for one more day, or I'm just learning perseverance, that may not be the case. And I'm gonna give you today, I just believe this is going to be really powerful for you to, to listen, really take this in. Because I believe that God has a way today, a way today of opening up the windows of heaven and pouring so much into your life, you're not even going to be able to hold it all. And we know this. We see it in the Word. And we constantly, I believe, are operating in a fear pattern. That's keeping us from opening up that window. See, the. The windows are there and it's all for you. Like everything you need to get that health you want to. To reach the. The money that you want to. To have the family that, that you feel God has designed you for, to have that amazing marriage. Everything is already there in heaven. What is preventing it from coming into your life today? What is preventing the money from coming into your life today? From the healing coming into your life today? If God has enough, and if he has more than enough, is he holding back? Is he waiting until you finally learn your lesson? I'm going to show you that it may not be any of that. It may be there is a pattern going on in your mom brain where you're operating by fear and you're not allowing that window to open on this side of heaven. It's all there windows open. But there's also your side of the window where you have to open it up so. So it can pour into your life. And if we have a pattern of fear, it will cause us to pull away from every opportunity for that manifestation to come into your life. So I want to show you something that I believe is so powerful. This is Ephesians 6:13. We know all about spiritual warfare. Well, maybe not, but maybe you're new here. And if you don't know about spiritual warfare, basically that's what we're doing all the time, either consciously or unconsciously. I got so much about that. There's so much inside our university, everything. More podcasts on it, so you can find out more about spiritual warfare. But I think we are like, we're inspiration fat and execution starved. We know about spiritual warfare. We know how to fight the good fight of faith. I just got to keep on believing. I got to speak it out. I got to speak my healing. I got to speak, speak it out as if it's already done. I'm operating in the finished work. I'm building up my joy. All of that is so important. It is the most important thing. But there's also a system in place that God has established that operates in a way to bring everything you desire, from the supernatural into the natural, from heaven to earth. Do you get this? Like, if we're going to experience heaven on earth, that we have to open up a portal to allow heaven to come into earth. And yes, it is through faith. Faith is our first fight. It is the good fight because we always win. But faith always moves forward. Fear moves back. And there are some things in your life I believe God has today. I believe today he's got a thousand ways to solve whatever problem you're dealing with, to answer whatever question you have to supply every need and every want that you currently feel in your life. I believe he has a million ways to do that today. But here's the truth. God will open the door to that opportunity. Fear keeps us paralyzed on the other side. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone opens the door, I'll come in and I'll eat with him. That's a beautiful passage where Jesus talks about like, like he is no respect our persons. He will do for you what he's done for me. And I just believe a lot of it. We're. We're blaming God when we actually need to turn the lens and look at ourselves. Am I moving forward? Am I being proactive? Yes, we have to fight the good fight of faith. But there are also things we have to do on this side in our human experience where we have to move forward. Faith moves forward, fear moves backwards. So God opens up the window on his side to supply everything for you. But fear will keep us from doing the thing to open up the window on our side. And then what happens? We. We stay stuck. So I believe there are moms who are listening to this. They're watching this right now. And this is going to be an answer to prayer because they've been praying. God, I know your promises are good. I see your promises for healing. I see your promises for my marriage. I see your promises for my joy, my freedom, my wealth. I see your promises in the Word. I'm not seeing it in my life. I believe this one episode is going to reveal the overlooked element. And once you execute that, everything's going to change. Everything is going to change from this moment forward. I want you to really understand this because I'm going to show you a four part process where God brings everything you need from heaven and pours it into your life here on earth. And here's the deal. It is a four part process and we are responsible for three of those four parts. And I'm going to show you what that is in this episode. So let's really dig into this. Ephesians 6, 13. I'm going to read the classic amplified version. And this is just this one section. You can read all of Ephesians 13. I mean, all of Ephesians 6. That talks a lot about spiritual warfare. How to put on the, put on the belt of truth, put on the shield of faith, put on the shoes of the Gospel of Peace. We. We carry the. Put on the helmet of salvation. And we. And we hold the sword of the spirit, and we carry the. The. The shield of faith. And we're ready. Like, we know that. But there's this one, there's three words in this verse that I think we overlook. Three words. I'm going to read this to you, says, therefore, put on God's complete armor that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day of danger. And having done all, and then. And then brackets there, it says, the crisis demands, because I'm reading the classic amplified version, to stand firmly in your place. Having done all, I want you to say that out loud right now. Having done all, that's what we overlook. Have we done all? Because we can't have supernatural wins if we haven't had the natural execution. So have we done all that the crisis demands? Have we exhausted all the opportunities? Have we done everything on this side of heaven that God expects us to do? Because God will do what we can't, but he will not do what we can. And so there are some things, there are some steps, there are some places of obedience that if we don't show up and execute God's, like, I can't do anything. In his sovereignty, God has limited himself to partnering with man. That's why we needed a man to break the curse and redeem us. And that was a man in the form of Jesus. And God wants to do something through you. Maybe he wants to do something through you as far as developing a platform, launching a business, a ministry. Maybe he wants to do something through you, right there in your family, around your kitchen table. Because a mom is the most powerful woman in the world. The power that a mom wields is like, it's almost incomprehensible because we're not only changing the lives of a generation, we are influencing the lives of subsequent generations. We are the one that is. That is most effective in changing the world. So I want you to understand this. Having done all means you've done your part. And. And there are three things that I'm going to show you that are your part of the equation. God has one part. You have three parts. So it's not like faith without works is dead. So faith, if you really believe it, you will operate in a forward motion. You'll make scary decisions. You'll. Some of the decisions. I'm just thinking back at some of the crazy things I've done because I trusted God, all right, Sometimes I didn't trust myself the first time I invested in growing a business. I didn't trust myself. I had failed at seven businesses prior. So I had no trust in myself. But I trusted God's calling on my life enough to invest money. I did not have, I didn't have it at the time. And God always calls you to do what feels impossible because he is seeing if you have the faith to believe that he's going to come through on the other side. He's, he's never going to tell you to do something that seems logical or, or reasonable or common sense. I, I just, I've just seen that in my life. I've seen a pattern where God's like, do you really believe? Like if, do you really, really believe me? Because if you do, I'm going to ask you to do this. Remember Peter getting out of the boat? It's like, you can come to me if you want to. He's not going to go over to the boat, pick up Peter and carry him. He's going to say, peter, come on out. I am here for you, but you've got to step out of the boat. Peter did. He stepped out of the boat. His belief caused him to move forward into an impossible situation. And your faith, if you really have the faith, your faith will cause you to make decisions that seem impossible, that seem scary. And you've been praying. Excuse me, like I truly believe you've been praying for God to open up doors for you. But here's the question. Are you walking through them? Because walking through the door requires faith. Because we don't know what's on the other side. God never calls us to walk with our eyes and our ears. He says to walk by faith. Move into that situation that seems scary and impossible and what if it doesn't work? And all the fears. But faith is bigger than your fear. So you say yes, and you move forward. Yes and amen. It's done. Now what does fear do? Fear is like, oh, it's got to make sense to me first. I have to see how I'm going to survive on the other side of that first. I've got to get permission first. Like that's what fear says to you. And what happens, we don't execute. We stay on this side of the door. And we never know the fulfillment of that promise that lies on the other side. So I want to show you about this, this three step pattern, okay? Because I truly do believe that we are supposed to be doers of the word, not hearers. Only problem is faith. We have so much of it in our in our head. Like, we get in our heads around faith and we get the belief and we speak the words. But when it comes time to draw a line in the sand and make a decision and execute, well, that's. That's scary. That's terrifying. So I want to talk about this first step, okay? Remember, it's a four part process. The first part, this first step, is seed number one. Seed. Have you sown seed? That is the hardest thing to do. I believe it's the hardest thing to do because seed is physical. Seed is that thing you put in the ground and then you let go of it and you don't see it again. Seed is the. The talents that the King gave his three servants. And one who had 10 talents went out and he multiplied it. The one who had five talents went out and he multiplied it. The one who had one talent, he was too scared to go out and multiply it, so he hid it. Now, I remember going on a walk one day. I was walking the dogs in my neighborhood, and totally out of the blue, the Holy Spirit asked me, why did he hide it? Because, remember, the master came back and he said, you could at least put in the bank. And developed. Like, I would have had interest when I came back. But you didn't even do that. And I was thinking about that, and he's like, why did he hide it? Why didn't he put it in the bank? Like, it seems like a safe place. That seems logical. I'll take my one town. I'll put in the bank. When he comes back, he'll have a little bit of interest. But he hid it in the ground. And so of course, I'm like, I don't know. God, tell me. Rule number one. We gotta ask you a question. He's not going to give you the answer. He wants you to think and get the answer. So he's like, no, you tell me. So I'm walking. I'm like, all right, why would I hide it? Why. Why would I not put it in the bank? Why would I hide it? Why would I just put it, like, in a drawer somewhere in my house instead of taking it to the bank? And I thought the reason would be so I could get it quickly so I could access him. I don't have to go to the bank and withdraw it or anything. I can, like, access it immediately so when an opportunity comes, I could take advantage of it. So I was like, did he have the intention of investing it? But he never did. And the Holy Spirit just reassured me, like, that was it. He had the intention. Remember I told you that the enemy is not scared of your intention. He's scared of your execution. So when the master came back, he was like, I'm so disappointed in you. You were wicked because you didn't trust that you could just take it out there and multiply. And if you don't trust yourself that you can multiply, trust that God has given you that talent to take out there and multiply. And he's behind the system of multiplication. He's behind the system of manifestation. He created this system. As much as the New Age community wants to hijack the whole manifestation thing, God created it for us so that he could plant desires in our heart and we could go out there and we could bring value to the world. And in exchange, our needs are met, is how abundance happens. It doesn't just fall in our lap. It always comes in seed form. God answers his promise in seed form. That's why God put Adam and Eve in a garden and not a grocery store. Because he wanted to show them the most primal principle of faith is you have to plant seed. So I want to show you this. Excuse me. Galatians 6:7. 6, 7. I'm sorry, that was unnecessary. All right. Galatians 6:7. Do not be deceived and deluded and misled. God will not allow himself to be sneered at, scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by his precepts being set aside, he inevitably deludes himself, who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows that, and that only is what he will reap. So when you are believing for something in your life, if you're believing to grow, for example, let's take my example. I'm believing to grow my business. But I won't invest in getting a business coach. I won't invest in getting a training program. I won't invest in learning how. I'm just going to try to like, download a bunch of free things or. Or chat GPT the thing, right? But I'm not willing to let go of seed. Even seed I don't have. Remember I told you, first time I invested myself, I didn't have that money. I had to borrow that money. So we won't put seed. And that right there is delusional. It says you delude yourself. If you attempt to delude God, his principles are not going to be set aside. You can't bypass God's principles. And the number one principle is, if you don't sow, you don't reap. Even when Jesus was talking about the parable of the Sower, the disciples were like, we don't really understand this. And the reply that Jesus gave them was so stellar. He said, if you don't get this, you're not going to get anything. This basic principle, if you don't sow, you don't reap. You would think I was delusional if you're over at my house and I was like, and we're walking around outside and I showed you this big old patch over there by the lake. And I'm like, you know, I'm so frustrated because I have never been able to grow sunflowers here. The sun's perfect here. This is a perfect spot. The soil is great. The sun is out, but I can't grow sunflowers. And then you say, well, have you planted sunflower seeds? I'm like, no, you would. You would say, hannah, you're delusional. You're not going to sow anything. You don't plant. But we'll do the same thing with our lives. We're like, oh, you know, I believe God is going to pour wealth in my life. I believe God's going to heal my marriage. I believe God's going to bring my kids back into the kingdom. I believe he's going to. He's going to restore my body. But we're not willing to let go of seed to get the coaching, to get the training, to get the system, to get the solution. God has something here on Earth for you already. He has everything here on earth for you. In the Garden of Eden, it was abundance. Everything they could need, everything they could want, everything they could desire. So everything you want is here already. You're just not willing to exchange value for value. You won't let go of the talent in your hand, and that is delusional. God's system of manifestation works all the time. And we have more control over that than we actually want to want to process. It's more control than we want to admit. The first thing we can control is the seed. So have you sown for your harvest? You can't harvest where you haven't sewn. So think about that. What is it? And. And I believe, like, the first time I invested in a personal coach to help me change my life, I was stressed out, I was overwhelmed, I was overweight. And that first coach was more money than I had at the time. And I am so grateful for my past self that I did that without having any evidence that it was going to work, because I did the first step, I sowed seed. So have you sown seed? Number one now if you have, if you haven't, it's time to sow some seed. Like I have moms who are stressed out, overwhelmed. They're following me. And they still haven't gotten into Mom Master University. They still haven't, haven't bought any of my programs. I haven't put any money into their lives. Here you are a mom with the most critical job in of anyone in the household. And you try to rationalize not investing in yourself. It doesn't make sense to me. You're in charge of your children, you're in charge of your husband, you're in charge of your meals, you're in charge of running your home. You're in charge of future generations. But I don't know, maybe I won't invest in me. I just, I still don't get that. The most critical job and you're not investing in yourself. So number one, sow seed. Number two, soil. So number one was seed. Number two is soil. Where are you sewing the seed? There are a lot of great programs out there, guys. We live in the information age. We do not like information. We lack execution and transformation. So I want to read this to you. This is Hebrews 6:12. It says, in order that you may not grow disinterested and become spiritual sluggers, but imitators behaving as do those, who through faith, by their leaning of their entire personality on God, and by practice of patient endurance and waiting, are now inheriting the promises. Do you want to inherit the promises you're believing for? Yes. So we have to be imitators. What are you imitating? Because there is a, a law like you cannot bypass a principle. You just can't do it. You're always subject to a principle. Only you can bypass is by a greater principle. So there's like a law. Whoever you hang out with, you become like, you've got to be very careful of that. You pay for proximity so you invest so you can get with the people that you want to imitate that. Think about the people that you're getting mentorship from. Do you really want to multiply what they have in their life? People that would, would consult with me and say, hannah, that's so stupid. To and to try to grow a business. Most businesses fail. Were were people who had failed. No one who was successful operating at a 7, 8, 9 figure level ever said, hannah, don't do it. That's foolish. That's stupid. Only the people who had never had the results. And I had to look at their life and say, do I want their results? No. Then I'm not going to follow their advice. So we have to understand we had to be imitators. Joshua had to imitate Moses. Elisha had to imitate Elijah. So God puts people in our life, and it's going to cost something to follow them. I love mentoring moms. I'm the. I'm like the titus, too. I'm 57. Something I don't. I don't even know. Somewhere around there. Born in 68. You do the math. And I love being able to have the track record. The marriage of 34 years. Amazing hot marriage. Grown kids who love God, and we have a great relationship with all of them. A home that is organized, like caring for parents now. And so having the results now I can mentor and younger moms who are in the middle of it because I have the track record. So look at who you're selecting to imitate. If you look at your five closest friends, and it's like, I don't really want their results. I don't want their marriage. I don't want the. I don't want how they're raising their kids. I don't want the energy in their household. Then you have to think, I need to pay for proximity. Get with the people who. Who I want the results they have. You can't inherit what you refuse to imitate. You just can't do it. Now, that's number two. So where are you putting your seed? Look at where you're putting your seed. Because not everyone that says. How do I say this nicely? Not everyone who says they're. Your answer is really your answer. I look deeper. For example, everyone. I get to coach me on a personal level. I want to know that personally their marriage is successful, that their business is successful, that they love their life and they have joy and freedom and abundance. People who I get to coach me in my business. I want to make sure they are operating a business that is extraordinarily successful. And they're doing in a way that honors their family. And they have that great marriage and they have the great. Like that great energy that they're loving God and serving their kingdom. People, you know, and so we had to be very careful. And I believe the Holy Spirit will give us wisdom there as well as just proper discernment. Now, that's the second. Remember, in charge of the seed. Number two, the soil. And number three, stewardship. Are you taking care of what God gave you? Luke 16:10. He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much. And he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little thing is dishonest and unjust also in much. I struggled for so long to manage money. I felt like I was just an idiot when it came to money. I was even scared to like, open up my, my bank account to see how much money was there. It just caused, like stress in me. And God revealed to me, I can't give you more until you can master what you have. And I had to learn. I had to learn to number one. Literally, like, you might laugh at this, but I had to learn, you know what? Every day I can just open up my account and look at it without fear. Get past that. Now I can start to do the numbers. I can start looking at where we're spending. I can create a budget. And I got a, an accountant to work with me and help me who to keep me accountable again. Stewardship combined with. I paid for an accountant, the seed. And I got a kingdom person who has, who is known for growing eight figure businesses. So stewardship, I got like, not stewardship, I'm sorry, the, the soil. I put it in the right place. So I had to line up all three of those things. And now God's like, all right, now that you're being faithful and you're executing, now I can pour more money into your life. But, but you're not going to like, give your kids the keys to your car if they've never taken their first driving lessons. They can't even like, like, like if they're still on a tricycle. Right? I don't know about you, but if my child kept their clothes all dirty all the time, all over the floor of their room, they never organized. They never put their laundry where they never did their laundry. They never hung up their clothes. I wouldn't buy them new clothes. I'd be like, you take care of what you have. And then when you do that, I will entrust you with more clothes. And so we have to understand God is a good, good, good father. I'm not gonna break out a song there, but I could. He's a good, good. Oh, I said I wasn't going to. Sorry. Okay, but mom brain. So we have to become trustworthy and what God has given us so that now he can allow us to have more. We can pray for debt cancellation, but are we paying off our current debts? Are we operating by a budget? We can pray for healing in our bodies, but have we changed the way we're eating. Are we exercising every day? Like, there are things we have to do on this side so we can allow that to pour in. So God does not bless the potential you talk about. He blesses the potential you work out. Okay, we have to understand this now. I said there's four parts. I'm gonna wrap up with this fourth part. And this is. This is the hopeful part. This is the exciting part. I hope this has, like, helped you understand. Wait, I can actually do something on this side. I can have faith enough that God's gonna come through now. Planting the seed. Planting the seed in the right soil and then getting out there and taking care of that seed and stewarding it and executing it. All three of these are dependent upon your relationship with God. Do you trust Him? Do you. Do you know that he loves you and he's not going to leave you stranded? Do you know that when he leads you to a door and you walk through it, that he's going to be there on the other side and you're not going to be left? Because everything, all three steps depend upon us knowing God, knowing He loves us, and trusting that love to move forward. And that's the fourth system. And that is the system, God's system. I want to read to you Psalm 37, 3:5. We're going to wrap up there. But it says, trust, lean on, rely on, and be confident in the Lord and do good. It doesn't say, to think good, we have to think good, but we also have to do, do the thing, do good. So shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on his faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. Delight yourself also in the Lord. He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Roll and repose each care of your load on Him. Trust, lean on, rely on, and be confident also in him, and he will bring it to pass. The system will always work. God's faithfulness has never not happened. His covenant still stands. He cannot go back on His Word. So his system always works. But we have to work it. And I hope this has blessed you. I hope this has given you a way to move forward. So today, like right now, today, while it is called today, do not harden your heart, but let's move forward and say, God, where do I sow the seed? If you have not enrolled in Mom Master University, get inside. If you have not gotten any other programs, get the programs. Get the. Get the. Put the seed in the ground so you can get the fruit that comes with the harvest. So, God, do I need to. Do I need to sow seed? God, where do you want me to sow that seed? God, what do I need to do today with what you've been, what you've given me so I can steward it well and be proven faithful so I can now receive more? I'm believing for you, friend. I love you. You got this. And I know God is going to bless you like crazy.
