I am so excited about this last session
I feel like I’ve done everything to
build up to this and this is the I am
out of this session so
um this lesson you kind of are like
where did all this adamant stuff come
from like why well it all started with a
really rough phone call I was writing my
book like a girl and um and you know I
was a newer author and I was you know
kind of tackling some subjects and I had
an editor who really felt like I wasn’t
being forceful enough with my book and
she was uh very combative with me and so
I kept kind of pushing that pushing back
pushing back into the place where I
couldn’t even recognize my book anymore
and uh so I had gotten her on a phone
call and I realized God was going to say
to me listen I didn’t give that book to
her I gave that book to you and you have
to have the right tone and the right
content and so you better figure this
out and so I had this back and forth
phone call with her where I took back
the book where I was like nope that’s
not the tone nope I don’t want to say it
like that and I was here in this dining
room and John was in the office behind
me and he was listening to me like be
strong be strong and you know went back
and forth back and forth and I hung up
the phone and John looked at me and he
said
how’d that go and I said that was rough
and he said okay he said well you
sounded
adamant and I said stood up and looked
at me said I am adamant I am adamant I
walked into his office and I’m like I am
Adam and he’s like okay get back to work
he’s like you’re procrastinating now
just go back and go back to work so like
I kept kept working on the book and I
actually went through and by line by
line was like just took it back it took
back all the edits and stuff and and she
ended up this is kind of sad but true
she ended up getting fired off the
project she was a freelance because the
the there was just some stuff and the
the editor was like we the head editor
was like we didn’t hire her to change
this we hired her to facilitate your
voice so anyway
um and sometimes it just doesn’t work
but anyway that afternoon I’m working
really hard I get a package in the mail
and it’s this box right here help me so
I got this box in the mail and I was
gonna like what in the world and my
sister brought it over and I said who’s
this from and she’s like has no return
address just brown paper and so I opened
it up and it’s got like this diamond
hanging from the top of it and then I
picked pick up this poem that’s in it
and it says my dearest Lisa my adamant
and I went what in the world like five
hours earlier I’m yelling I am adamant I
am adamant and I get this box with this
stationery it’s got some kind of seal on
it I don’t even know where that’s from
the I am adamant Foundation I don’t know
so anyway this is from December 5th no
December 12 2005. so this is from a long
time ago and I took it at that time to
mean all right stay strong don’t
compromise your voice and fight like a
girl and just go forward with it and
kind of didn’t think anything else of it
and then in 2016 I’m doing all these
different conferences and I’m like in
Paraguay and their theme is Diamond this
is from that and then I was in something
in Texas and it was diamonds and then I
was in something in Australia and it was
diamond and I started to get angry I was
like you know what they’re refugees
there are people being sex trafficked
and those women are running around
calling themselves diamonds and I was
like what in the world I’m back in my
hotel room oh my God I need to get my
attitude adjusted to go minister to
these women because I’m mad about it’s
all like this bling thing
I’m in my hotel room now 2016 this is
2005 and he said you used to love it
when I called you my diamond my adamant
and I just froze and I called home and I
said there is a box on the hutch top of
my Hutch get it down and there’s a
letter in it can you please read it to
me and I like freaked out I was like oh
my gosh it was for them but it was also
for now and so I just began to think
about what does it mean to be adamant
what does it mean to be I am adamant
what does that mean to be God’s diamond
and God’s adamant I found this
incredible poem by Samuel Johnson it
says a frame of adamant a soul of fire
no danger frights him no labor tires it
started as a rough phone call and yet it
ended up faceting my life and so I began
to think what does this adamant mean I
began to look into ancient texts that
were pre-dating 1700s when diamonds and
Adams were interchangeable I found this
one that was written in the 1600s
reference is Ezekiel 3 he said how God
had made the son of man’s face like
adamant just as he promised to do for
Ezekiel so the word Flint used to be
adamant another author described the
adamant in many terms you’ve already
been familiar with hardness of hardest
of stones fire can’t burn it heat cannot
penetrate its core a hammer cannot break
its Bond the force of many Waters cannot
dissolve it the adamant shrinks not
fears not change is not it’s you the
adamant is constant and then he close
out all of these thoughts with this
conclusion a good conscience will make a
Christian like an adamant will make him
invincible and unchangeable so I was
like oh my gosh so I’m going to share a
little portion of the poem with you
because I just feel like you should hear
this and I don’t believe this was just
for me I have I don’t think that
anything that I get given is just for me
but this is what he said it says my
adamant I smile when I am in thought of
you you hear and know my voice well you
smile at my greatness how I say you are
strong indeed my adamant may I sway your
heart I am in great love with you in
great kindness I speak as I am You Are I
Am moved my heart is imprinted by you
honor me with your beautiful smile and
strong heart my adamant I want you to
know God’s heart is imprinted with you
and he’s just inviting you to honor him
with your beautiful smile and your
strong heart I love this image of
strength and Grace it’s at once being
approachable and yet immovable it’s that
whole ability to be irresistible as a
daughter of God where we smile at our
future understanding that other people
are afraid of theirs that we invite them
into a place where we say you know what
come come I know this God is strong he
is the one who has made me strong I used
to be weak I used to be afraid he is
saying to you you are my adamant he has
this ability to not talk to where we are
right now where maybe we’re wavering and
shaking and weak at heart he’s saying
come on I love the strength of your
heart can I be honest with you when I
receive this poem I don’t think I was
half of these things people think that
I’m so bold and I’m bold as a function
of the gift of of God in my life but at
that moment I was saying everything like
it was a question not like it was a
statement and people need you to
punctuate your life with statements that
are declarative of God’s goodness not
question marks whether he can actually
do something or will do something or not
we need to live in such a way where
people know that God is good and that
God is there for us and he is strong and
he is mighty and he is faithful so we
need to smile and all of that so I want
to actually repurpose Samuel Johnson’s
poem and make it for you so in Christ
because a lot of people try to be strong
outside of themselves in Christ you have
a frame of adamant and a soul of fire no
danger should frighten you because
you’re going to discover that adversity
is going to lift you higher I’m going to
unpack these concepts for you our frame
of adamant is transparent like a diamond
is transparent people see through us and
see Christ the adamant is radiant
magnetic traced in light yet heart is a
diamond wrapped in the indestructible
work of Jesus Christ
the spirit of Christ dwelling in US
makes us like an adamant makes us
immovable let’s stand in that let’s
begin to actually really live that out
and stop always asking those questions
let’s speak of the soul of fire in Luke
3 16. John answered them all he’s
talking to the people that came to be
baptized saying I baptize you with water
but he who is mightier than I is coming
and the strap of whose sandals I am not
worthy to untie he will baptize you with
the Holy Spirit and fire it is fire that
burns away the chaff in our life we have
been baptized and the Holy Spirit and
Holy Fire John’s baptism was an outward
foreshadowing of what Jesus would work
in us inwardly we have to be a people
who ask God to fill us with the Holy
Spirit and the fire of God when we are
born again our lifeless Hearts our quick
in by the fiery Brilliance of his
eternal love you know recently I had a
text message in conversation there’s a
young girl I actually never met her but
I love her from afar and I I just had
such a sense that she was going into a
place of spiritual warfare
and she’s really going to take some
ground for for God and preach on sexual
Purity and so I texted her and I said I
asked her I said are you filled with the
Holy Spirit speaking in tongues and she
texted me back and she said I’m not but
I I actually really want to be and I
said you know what it’s time and she
said well I’ve sought this for two years
I said you need to get with somebody
immediately and have them lay hands on
you and that night she had hands laid on
her Holy Spirit and fire and she was
like how did you know because we are led
by the spirit and we’re living in days
and times where we need a fresh
infilling of the Holy Spirit and fire
Holy Spirit and fire Zechariah 2 5 says
and this is talking about Israel but
it’s also talking about Zion it says I
will be to her a wall of fire all around
declares the Lord and I will be the
glory in her midst the message frames
this fire as God’s radiant presence
within this verse speaks both of Israel
and the church as he is to them he is to
us he is saying I’m going to surround
you with my protective fire and I’m
going to be that Fire Within you David
spoke of the Angelic host in Psalm 104 4
saying he makes his Messengers wind and
his ministers a flaming fire you don’t
know what you look like in the spirit
you think that you’re only speaking
words you’re not only speaking words
you’re speaking fire you’re speaking
things that separate with light and
truth and burn away chaffs and lies of
the enemy that have been on people’s
life for so long you are speaking fire
that melts chains you need to stand in
the truth do not think that what you see
in the natural is what you are in the
spirit do you remember do you remember
the prophet he sent his servant out this
servant was like there’s so many people
and he said open his eyes that he can
see and then he saw on the Hills the
army of the Lord the Chariots of Fire
all around he said there is more with us
than there are against us I don’t know
what you are looking for but you need to
ask God to let you see the fire that
surrounds your life see the goodness the
times he has been a hedge of protection
around you you didn’t even know you were
at risk yes we speak as Ministers of
wind of the Holy Spirit and fire that is
how we need to speak Zechariah 13 9 says
and I will put this third Into the Fire
and refine them as one refined silver
and test them as gold is tested they
will call upon my name and I will answer
them I will say they are my people and
they will say the Lord is my God in the
fire we call and he answers God is
baptizing his people in fire for
refining and strength second Timothy 1 6
compares the gift of God that is on your
life as a fire to Fan into flame dance
sing read stay in community but don’t
you dare neglect the gift of God that is
on your life do not let that fire go out
breathe upon the coal and fan it into a
flame God needs that gift that is want
your life to be fiery because other
people need its light
they need us warmth God wants to make
you a signal fire to a generation that
is looking for light he wants to put you
like a city set on a hill on fire for
him and then the next line says no
danger should frighten you when we are
protected round and purified within
we’re positioned in this kind of manner
what what could possibly scare us
because adversity lifts us higher I’m
going to close out with this story I was
in Amarillo Texas speaking at a
conference at an amazing Church there
and when I was checking into the hotel
they told me about this coffee shop I’d
ask for a Starbucks and they’re like you
don’t want to go to Starbucks you want
to go to the palace and I said okay and
they’re like it’s not open right now but
tomorrow morning you can go to the
palace and so I got up at 6 a.m threw my
Ray-Bans on because I don’t wear makeup
before I drink coffee and I headed
straight across the street for the
palace and when I opened up the door I
was like shaking it was so amazing it
was like this Texas hipster Vibe it was
like God had taken all my dreams and
made it a coffee shop like when the
Barista came like my turn to order I
think I held her hands I was like what
are your favorites what are your
favorite she was like we have amazing
drinks I’m like what do you have she
said we have a microphone cappuccino I
said yes yes I want that and she’s I
said what else do you have she said we
have a lavender latte I said I’m gonna
have to have that as well and then she
said but my favorite is the Fig and
honey latte I said I want all three of
those three shot teas and I said I’m
gonna drink two here and I’ll take one
to go and I went to turn and there was a
man standing right in front of me and he
was like are you from here and I don’t
know if he was like we shouldn’t let
women drink nine shots of espresso and
be loose on the streets of Amarillo I
don’t know what he was thinking I looked
at him I was kind of like I have
Ray-Bans on I haven’t drank coffee yet
you shouldn’t be talking to me but but I
was like no I’m not from here he said so
what did you do just find out about the
good coffee shop and I was like yeah and
he’s like so what are you doing here I
was like
so I’m speaking at a Women’s Conference
because I thought okay now he’s going to
back off when I say Women’s Conference
he’s gonna be like okay we have nothing
in common but he’s like so where are you
speaking at so I said well I’m speaking
and I told him the name of the church
and Clipper Barista gave him information
like addresses and stuff like that and
then he’s like well why are we not
covering it and I’m like what wait like
why would you wait who are you and he
said I’m the editor-in-chief of the
Amarillo Globe if there’s this many
women gathered why are we not covering
it and I said I I really don’t know he
said could you please sit down so I’m
like is this an interview because I have
not have enough caffeine yet so I sit
down at the table and he just begins to
ask me a little bit more about what I’m
doing and then he says did you read the
Pope’s article and I said uh which which
one and he said the one about the
excavation of the Catacombs and I said I
didn’t read that one he said give me
your phone so I gave him my phone and he
puts in the link and he’s like you you
need to read this and I was like okay
I’ll I’ll read it later and he said yeah
they’re Excavating the catacombs
and they found all these mosaics
of women speaking
and he said I just have a feeling
that you’re one of those women
and when he said it to me it was like
something hit me in the chest and I I
just looked at him and he said I’m
sending a reporter tonight and he said
and I’ll be there in the morning and
when I walk back to my hotel room I was
overwhelmed
by the imagery and so I went into my
room and I looked at it and I saw this
picture of this Mosaic they say it’s
Priscilla her arms are open wide in
benediction and I had such a revelation
that I’m not just one of those women
you’re one of those women God is
unearthing the things that have been
buried the debris and the rubble that
has been on your life all the time he is
in the process of removing it and you
know what you’re going to find out
you’ve been so busy looking at the
broken pieces that you miss the fact
that over your head is this beautiful
Mosaic and you thought because you
weren’t preaching from a platform that
you weren’t doing something from God you
are preaching with your entire life and
you had no idea we find this this is
just amazing how God is Isaiah 40
captures this it says to whom then will
you compare me this is God asking his
people to whom then will you compare me
that I should be like him says the Holy
One lift up your eyes on high and see
who created these he who brings out
their host by number calling them all by
Name by the greatness of his might and
because he is strong in power not one is
missing not one is missing there’s not
one pain that God isn’t going to redeem
there’s not one tear that you’ve cried
that he is going to lose he has
collected all of it there’s not one
broken place in your life that he will
not flip around
for his glory but you just need to be
willing you need to believe that you are
one of those women you are one of those
women that you have been framed with
adamant that God is saying to you hey
I’m so imprinted your heart you are
imprinted on me you are always what I
wanted you are always my hope you are
precious in my sight so as we close I
just wanna I just want to honor him
I just want to honor who he is he is our
adamant he is our anchor and our truth
Jesus is the rock that even now follows
you through that Wilderness where you
think you are all alone don’t resist him
don’t resist him honor the stone that
you were quarried from
let’s live in the Wonder and the awe of
the immovable Invincible impervious
adamant Cornerstone let me tell you he
longs to Astound you with his
faithfulness be true to him in this
universe of confusion and opinions for
you are marked for the Eternal Realm
the adamant my friend
