Date: October 3, 2019
Event: World Harvest Church, Murrieta, CA
This episode features Lindsay Roberts speaking at a Ladies Conference, focusing on the spiritual principle of "Location, Location, Location." With humor, transparency, and bold faith, Lindsay explores how God moves us through internal "locations"—from trauma and drama towards total recovery and spiritual authority. She encourages listeners to shift their mindset, "move" spiritually, control their thoughts and words, and claim all God has promised, no matter their circumstances.
Key Themes & Discussion Points
Divine Shifts & "Getting Unstuck"
[00:16 – 08:16]
- Lindsay opens by sharing how God interrupted her prepared message and gave her a powerful vision: as Nancy Dufresne sang "You're My Healer," Lindsay saw angels depositing healing—particularly healing for mental "frames" where people felt stuck by trauma, drama, or significant life events.
- She sets up the session with the intention to guide people from trauma, through drama, into total recovery:
“Sometimes I get stuck in a frame of mind, and only the Holy Spirit can unstick that thing.” (Lindsay, 00:54)
- Worship and prophetic ministry follow, emphasizing God's role as both a “heart fixer and a mind regulator.”
God's Healing for Hearts & Minds
[06:15 – 09:28]
- Lindsay highlights God's ability to heal emotional and mental wounds:
“God is fixing broken hearts. He's fixing them physically, emotionally, spiritually. He's touching your mind... God sees everything. And he's your heart fixer and your mind regulator.” (Lindsay, 08:16)
- She draws a parallel to PTSD in the military, underscoring the spiritual source of trauma and God's sufficiency for recovery.
The Spiritual Principle of "Location, Location, Location"
[09:28 – 22:00]
-
Drawing from the story of Monopoly's creator, Lindsay underscores how vision, creativity, and perspective—regardless of natural circumstances—can produce breakthrough.
“If we let our broken heart and broken thoughts rule our lives, we're operating from the outside in instead of the inside out. You just took your crown, you just put it down, and now you're back in the world without your throne.” (Lindsay, 11:25)
-
She introduces three key biblical "locations":
- The Garden of Eden – Place of perfect provision, lost but symbolic of God’s intention.
- Canaan (The Promised Land) – Covenant and blessing, also lost in the natural, but its principle is enduring.
- Heaven on Earth – Jesus’ promised reality for believers now.
-
Main point: These physical locations may be historically inaccessible, but the spirit and principle behind them—abundance, covenant, intimacy with God—are accessible through faith and a shift in thinking.
The Power of Mind Renewal and Words
[22:00 – 47:00]
- Lindsay unpacks the importance of renewing the mind, referencing Isaiah 26:3 and Psalm 103. She challenges passive Christian thinking and emphasizes "mind control"—not as manipulation, but as taking intentional spiritual authority.
“We have a Bible right to renew our mind daily with the word of God. We have the mind of Christ and ... a command to take control of our mind, our will and our emotions.” (Lindsay, 24:45)
- Addressing traditions and the danger of being "conformed to this world" (Proverbs 4; Romans 12), she urges transformation through the Word.
- She gives a humorous illustration about following the wrong GPS, likening it to following wrong spiritual advice and ending up lost.
The Scales of Justice and Divine Vengeance
[47:00 – 52:30]
- Lindsay discusses the biblical concept of justice and vengeance—not as human revenge, but as God's promise to make wrongs right:
“Vengeance is not revenge... it is avenging God's people with a recompense of reward.” (Lindsay, 51:10)
- She teaches that praying for recompense is appropriate and not vengeful but believing God to restore any loss or harm.
- Homework: Study Romans 12:19 (“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. I will repay.”).
The Weightiness of Words and Spiritual Duct Tape
[52:30 – 60:00]
- With humor, Lindsay shares the practical power of controlling words:
- Bee Gees Reference: “Talk in everlasting words and dedicate them all to me... Words are all I have to take your heart away.” (from “Words” by the Bee Gees)
- She recommends using "spiritual duct tape" to “zip your lip” until our words line up with God's Word:
“If you can't say something scriptural... zip your lip and don't say anything at all. Duct tape it, baby. Stick it closed.” (Lindsay, 53:45)
- She illustrates the creative, prophetic power of words—how what we repeatedly say becomes our reality.
“You are a self-fulfilling prophet.” (Lindsay, 56:00)
Moving from Trauma and Drama to Total Recovery
[60:00 – 65:00]
- Drawing on David's story (“David recovered it all”), Lindsay asserts that Christianity is not meant to be "almost" victorious but fully.
- She humorously reflects on external expectations and people-pleasing, exhorting listeners to be "God-pleasers" anchored in their own spiritual authority.
- She emphasizes that comparison to others’ standards is unhelpful—our measure is the Word of God.
- The talk concludes with a challenge:
“Put on your crown, sit down, zip your lip, and the only thing that proceeds out of your mouth is the word of God.” (Lindsay, 62:40)
- She prays that listeners would receive divine inspiration, see their "finish line" in faith, and "start at the finish line"—believing for God's best, total recovery, and a prosperous journey.
