What would it look like to maximize your full potential and be who you were truly created to be?
It can be a frustrating dichotomy of living in a world with expectations, but having a deep sense that there is something more you’ve meant to be doing. It’s like living in two different worlds.
This weeks podcast guest, Ericka D. James, started asking the question “why aren’t we living out our full potential?”
It began a series of very deep conversations and inquiries with God, to discover who she was truly born to be, so she could make maximum impact in the marketplace.
Ericka has seen entrepreneurs do amazing things with their businesses once they are clear about God’s government. The key to clarity is about receiving spiritual revelation and insight.
Listen in and be inspired!

Ericka D. James:
So excited to be here.
Mimika Cooney:
Well, you and I are
Ericka D. James:
Like excited. All that you’re doing. I’m just, oh, thank you. I appreciate it.
Mimika Cooney:
Like you and I sisters from another mother, because we definitely are on the same wavelength. We have a lot of the things in common and the ways that we like to approach things, especially when it comes to our passion for women in business, absolutely. Especially, and equipping women in business to be positioned for what God has for them. So that’s what I’m so excited about chatting about and what we really wanna dive in today. Especially if you are a female entrepreneur, kingdom minded, God’s given you a vision for something and you wanna get positioned into where, what Ericka likes to call is positioned in God’s government and the marketplace. So let’s get ready to help you shine in the marketplace, right?
Ericka D. James:
Yes.
Shine in the Marketplace
Mimika Cooney:
Well, but before we get you into sharing all your goodies, definitely give our, especially our new audience who haven’t heard your story before, a little backstory of how you got doing what you’re doing today.
Ericka D. James:
Oh, will do. So I I’m from the Washington state area in the Seattle area, for those of you who are familiar with that area, but grew up in an entrepreneurial family. And so I was very entrenched in entrepreneurship, found out my family on both sides, goes back generations of entrepreneurs. So entrepreneurship was literally in my blood. So that was nothing new. I could put together a workshop packet by age five Mimika. Like I knew how to go around the table. And we, I mean, I knew how to do that. That’s what we did in our spare time and had parents that were really, influencers, movers, and shakers to this day, they’ve got legislation they’ve done. So I always saw that part modeled. Even though I dealt internally with my own stuff, it was never a question of you making a difference in the world, but there was this other thing that happened and that’s getting called into ministry and I’ve always been fascinated with God.
Ericka D. James:
And I’ve always been fascinated with what are God’s promises and what would it look like to maximize the full potential of who I was created to be? I was reading the scripture. I was like, why aren’t we living this? I don’t, this doesn’t make sense to me. And so I began a series of very deep conversations and inquiries with God. And for years they felt like two different worlds. So I had the ministry piece over here and the business piece over there, even though I worked mainly with Christian business women and they have come crashing together and I’m so thrilled. And so now it’s about the spiritual revelation and insight, which is my primary gift teamed with my passion for business. And I have seen, businesses do amazing things once they are clear about God’s government. And one of the things that begin to happen, I’m moving the prophetic its you do all as well.
Ericka D. James:
And the prophetic round table at my church would always have us every year receive a word. We brought the word together, we tested the word, what came through, what came into pass from the previous word and just making sure as profits, we were accurate, we were held accountable. And one of the things that came through, this was, this was actually 2018. It started coming through that. God was bringing his government, we’re shifting from the gospel of salvation, into the gospel of kingdom. And it was a different posture for the body of Christ. And one of the things that had to happen in that is God is bringing his government into the earth. And then we all went crazy around politics, which fascinated me like LA the last election cycles, like why are Christians buying into this? Like it was so in air. And I know I’m not supposed to talk about politics, but it was part of my wondering, I was like, God, what is going on? And that’s what, but
Mimika Cooney:
Isn’t it this typical of like, God brings something and the enemy wants to come and mess it up.
Ericka D. James:
Yeah. And it made confuses. I was like, oh, okay, I get it. So no problem. And then he started to speak to me and he said, yes, the word says that all are called. Some are called his teachers. Some are called his pastors, evangelist, prophets and apostles. But he told me you have to use different language because we only associate that with ministry and not business. And so that’s when he started to download. I said, well Lord, what are they gonna be called? And he just downloaded Mimika this entire training system or this training program around shine in the marketplace, understanding your spiritual position to build the business of your God-given dreams. And so that’s kind of been the, the long, I mean, there’s lots more to the story, but it, it really came out of my absolute begging God to reveal what we’ve been missing.
Mimika Cooney:
And I think all of us feel it like, especially a lot of women I’m speaking to in business who feel like they know their position. They’ve been in through some really hard seasons in the last seven years. We’ve all been through some kind of wilderness or humbling season, but it’s been necessary to refine us, to get us to really pure gold. Right. But now we are ready to shine puts, God’s like, okay, now I need you in position and position is important. And I think we should just talk about this for a minute because some people might be like, what do you mean? Like, I know I’m a business person now, why I’m a Christian, but what does this mean positioned? Because we talk about like the far fold ministry, but there are like, we also have heard the concept of the seven mountains of influence, right? Like education, family, and all that. And all of us are called to a certain area. Let’s talk a little bit about why that is important in being positioned for what you need to be doing.
Shine in the Marketplace
Ericka D. James:
Oh, that’s so good. Well, we know that God knew us before we were placed in our mother’s womb. There was purpose. And there is, I call it a heavenly blueprint inside of our spiritual DNA. And so we spend our lives trying to figure it out. And I love it in the Southeast area. I, I promise you Mimika. Everybody has taken some personality test to, Myers, Briggs. And I was fascinated with that. Always searching, who am I, what am I called to do strength finder and all this stuff. And I was like, that’s fascinating when it’s in us, if we could just learn to tap in to that Holies within us, that kingdom of heaven within us. And so, that was my, absolute, I, I wanna say like obsession, cause I was, I’ve just been like, God, bring it.
Ericka D. James:
What are we missing? What’s the blueprint. And so understanding that we are all as Christians called to a position, not just those called to body of Christ, traditional ministry, but all of us are called to a position. And there is a for real process. And it’s all in Ephesians five when the word talks about some are called, as I mentioned earlier, but it also says, and some are still children being tossed to and fro from EV with every doctrine. Those are the ones of it that are ones of us that are still struggling with self-esteem and worth. And, and am I good enough? And this whole imposter syndrome madness, that’s a whole, other’s a whole
Mimika Cooney:
Give us talking it all day.
Ericka D. James:
Yeah. Oh my gosh. So all of this stuff, but you come into a place of position where you’re no longer on the defensive, you’re clear about who you are, your identity is not attached to your past experiences or what I call your natural family, but you begin to connect it to who God created you to be. And when you get ready for that, and you begin asking God for that, there is a position in his fivefold government and economy that he has called you in. And so those positions in, as he brought it to me for the marketplace, instead of teacher it’s educator, instead of pastor it’s nurture, instead of evangelist, it is promoter. And then instead of profit trailblazer and instead of apostle multiplier, and each of them have a set of characteristics of how we’re built and it is and there’s a business model that comes with that.
Ericka D. James:
So for example, I am called as a multiplier in the marketplace. It’s about creating platforms, not just for myself to shine, but to raise up to train and equip others and not a few others, a whole lot of others. So my business model centers around courses, it centers around memberships, it centers around multiplying people to do what they’re called to do, and then creating platforms to send them out. That is a very different business model than someone who is just called as an educator where I just wanna get you information and you can build a fortune at any one of ’em, by the way, one’s not better than the other, but we all need each other. And once you begin to understand that I have seen businesses explode and go from savings. Gone. Don’t know what I’m doing to now I understand my position. There’s some prophetic understanding and strategy that comes with that. And I mean, seven figure businesses popping Mimika in like less than a year. It’s been fascinating to watch this piece unfold, but we are all called to that governmental position or office. You may think of it a little bit more like an office as a Christian.
Mimika Cooney:
Mm. And this is also something I I’ve had the revelation of over the last few years, as well as really when you come into really knowing who you are and who you are, and that identity piece is established and you stop worrying about what Susie Q is doing on the left and the right. And you start to focus on what God’s giving you. There’s actually tremendous power. And we talk about office and for those of us who are like, again, what does this mean? Exactly? Here’s the thing it’s like, I always like to put this in metaphors. It’s like, when you dunno what you’re doing, you basically swinging at a bunch of trees with a butter knife, hoping to cut down a tree. And once you align yourself and you get that sharp sword or that axe, that God is destined, that only you are destined to hold.
Shine in the Marketplace
Mimika Cooney:
You’re gonna swipe at that tree, but you’re gonna know which tree to swipe at the first place. So it comes down and you have the right tool. You are strategic. It’s like kind of having a sniper rifle, right. We’re very strategic. This is where God has me. And then, then you actually can run with it. Like, what’s the scripture that says, God gives you the vision. So you write it down so you can run with it. Like, I see things in pictures and people are like running around, like, I don’t know.
Ericka D. James:
That’s right. It’s over here. And maybe it’s over here, lemme take this process over there. And, and Ooh, that person did it, let me do what they did and maybe I’ll get what they got. It’s just like, oh, it’s madness. Yeah. But it, it really is this blueprint that is within and it’s there and it’s in you, it’s in me. We just haven’t understood how to tap into it and how to.
Mimika Cooney:
In other words, everyone has it within them already. Right? So the secret source is there. So I think this is an important note is we gotta stop shifting and looking from the outside to bring insight instead of looking inside to go out. Right. That’s good. How, how would you put this process? Like if someone is saying like, they have this yearning to do something and they’re in a position where maybe that the business model doesn’t suit them or that they’ve yearning to, be on a stage or write a book or, or share a message, but where they find themselves is not congruent to what they feel. It’s, wouldn’t you say it’s almost like a sense of uncomfortable, like almost like they’re shifting, but they’re not to what, like, there’s almost an agitation cause there’s that pressure, right? Almost like you’re coming up against something that you shouldn’t be, so how do we navigate that?
Ericka D. James:
Well, it’s so fascinating because the real key is, and it sounds so hokey. And I know we’re in this realm of mindfulness that the world has adopted, but it comes down to Christ centered meditation and the quietness. And if anybody has anything on their plates, like the average business woman quietness is a challenge. And so it’s really comes down to beginning to tap intentionally within to release that instruction book that we all have. And so quiet time, just to say, to get 30 minutes of quiet time in your morning, you have to fight for that, right? Because I’m not talking about devotion. I’m not talking about prayer. I’m not talking about our time reading scripture. I’m not even talking about prayer. I am talking about being still to begin to listen. And if anybody has been through that process of, of practicing quietness and meditation, the first thing that happens is your mind goes off and remind you that you need, oh, you need eggs.
Ericka D. James:
And oh, by the way. So and so needs a new school uniform, sock and all this stuff happens because there’s all this stuff in our mind, that’s waiting for us to get still. And so I always keep my journal near because I know stuff’s gonna, I know my brain’s gonna dump, write it down, write it down, write it. Oh. And call this person. Oh. And do this. And then on the other side of that, there’s quietness. And most of us, well, before the quietness comes, what I call the itchy twits. Cause all of a sudden your back itches or your big toe bothers you. And you’re
Mimika Cooney:
Like, you hear the refrigerator really now. Yeah.
Ericka D. James:
You’re hearing the noises that you’ve never heard before. And if you can get past the brain dump and the itchy twits, there is quietness on the other side of that. And on the other side of the quietness is the voice of the holy spirit. And most of us never, it could take a few days. It could take several weeks to get there. And if you could get to the quietness, you can get to that space of that. Holy of Holies, that you can begin to ask God what I call kingdom questions? Who did you create me to be? Lord, what are my gifts? All of those questions. When you created me, what did you have in mind? Why did you give me the family you gave me? What lessons was I supposed to get to do my purpose? And just start asking God kingdom questions. And God loves questions. A lot of us has been taught, have been taught. Don’t ask God questions. It’s not okay to ask why he’s like, ask me why I’m looking for people. I can reveal my revelation and my secrets to. And so he wants you to know about yourself and he doesn’t typically release it until you ask the words that you have to ask. He can knock. Yeah. And cause
Mimika Cooney:
You have to be ready. Right. Because he’s not gonna, it’s like, he’s, he’s not gonna yell at you while you are in, in a noisy room and you’re not gonna hear it.
Ericka D. James:
That’s right. And then you have to deal with what comes up. Mimika in the quietness is there’s negative self talk. There is there hard stuff that needs to be dealt with because on the other side of that is the fullness of who God has called us to be. And so it’s really about then getting clear about what it is and, and manifesting that going through the process of manifesting. But that’s, that is the process and clearing out the gun. So you cannot have the fear and the self sabotage and I’m not good enough. And all of the stuff that comes up and you can actually walk it out and manifest it.
Shine in the Marketplace
Mimika Cooney:
And also like, just to mention on the word manifest, like some people go, Ugh, that’s such a new age term, actually. No, it’s all of these concepts are God designed, come
Ericka D. James:
On. Yeah.
Mimika Cooney:
The enemy has twisted them. But if you just think about it for a second, like being able to be like, we like to sometimes call it, the monks used to call it contemplative prayer. So it’s not a new concept or the new age work likes to talk at, about meditation. But really it’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just allowing yourself to align yourself with God and hearing God, because gosh, we live in a world that is so noisy. It’s like even getting a chance to even drive in the car with no noise is almost impossible. So it’s like, the silence almost gets uncomfortable, but that is the quiet place we seek, right. Is really where we hear the whispers. That’s right. And it’s like, and wouldn’t you also say, it’s almost like our heart is already whispering to us about what we want, but we just, so often times we don’t listen.
Ericka D. James:
That’s right. Or we take it for granted because it’s the things that come easy to us. What I mean? Like a lot of us come out of that. You’ve got to strive and press. And if it’s not, if it’s not a struggle, then it’s not God. And there’s stuff we have to overcome. Absolutely. But when you get to it, like your gifts, they’re right there. They’ve been there all along. And the word actually says we are to meditate on the word day and night.
Mimika Cooney:
I mean, if somebody’s feeling like that right now, they’re listening to the show and they’re like, okay, I’m really feeling this, this point of frustration. And I know I need to get into alignment and I really wanna find, it’s almost like you’re waiting for this click. Right? Like, okay. Now I find the thing that I mean to do, and this is where I’m walking my purpose. It’s like all the stars align, everything comes in where your skills, your background, because everything we’ve been through, wouldn’t you say is not for us. God uses it all.
Ericka D. James:
That’s right.
Mimika Cooney:
So how would you say, like, to help them in that position? What would, what would be a few steps you could give them to really start to get them aligned into where they should be.
Ericka D. James:
I I’m gonna go back to the quietness because most of us now we have these smartphones and my smartphone is my alarm which they say don’t do that. But most of us quietness sends us to noise, right? So if there’s quiet, happening in your environment, if there’s quiet, happening, we get uncomfortable because we intuitively and inherently know that to be quiet means to go within and so fight for the quietness and get uncomfortable with it. Cuz when you first sit, it’s gonna be five minutes and you’re gonna be like, oh, I can’t even, it’s just too much. I have to get up? And there’s gonna be distractions and all that stuff get to a place of quietness and stillness because that’s where the holy spirit we can actually hear the whispers cuz he’s always speaking. And then, I often hear people say, well, is that my voice?
Shine in the Marketplace
Ericka D. James:
Or is that, what is that? The holy spirit? Well, you’ve got to ask those kingdom questions. Like I said below, before and Mimika, I know it sounds hokey cuz we’re always in a doing, we have to do this. We have to read this book. We have to. And actually this is a being this space to get back into spiritual. What I call a chiropractic adjustment to who God called you to be it’s right there and we’re running after it, but it’s inside of us. And so the first thing I would tell people is practice being comfortable in quietness.
Mimika Cooney:
I love what you said about being. So that’s why we call human beings, not human doings. Like God knew what he was talking about. Right. So how do we be? Yeah. And how do we allow ourselves? And this is often when, you find that things that maybe have, that are not dealt with like past traumas or childhood issues that are, especially for those who are in denial and don’t want to deal with those issues. It, the noise helps to cover up that sort of right? Like a screening. It’s like having a pump pull. You’re trying to cover up with foundation. And this is like, you can’t get rid of it. Right? Sometimes we do have to do the hard work, which is to stop and pause, clean out the junk in the trunk then enable us to be ready for what God wants us to do. Cuz I don’t know about you. But I found this in every certain season when God shifts us into the new, you can’t take the old into the new, you can’t take the old baggage. You can’t pour old wine into new wine skins. And for us normal people in the 21st century, that what that means is you just can’t try to fit things that used to fit in the old way.
Ericka D. James:
Yeah.
Mimika Cooney:
In a new way. So like how would you say would be besides once we have an idea of being the quiet and we discover those things, how do you then shift into taking that authority? Because just like an army, right? You get trained. God gives you the authority. How do we activate ourselves in that authority? God’s given us
Ericka D. James:
Well, I’m thinking through like, what’s the next step? So there’s quietness and you begin to ask God, those big questions. Who am I? What did you create me for? I once asked him when you and the angels discuss me, what do you call me? And what do you say? And he answered me, changed my life. And then the next thing is learning to trust yourself. Even because if we can’t be a sound container or vessel for God and there’s leakages in our heart and pain and hurt and all that stuff, then we’re constantly needing to be infill, but we’re not holding onto anything. We’re not remembering who we are, how beautiful we are, how capable we are. But I would say the next step, once you’re doing that inner work is to then figure out what you already know to do. Do you know how many of us actually know what we need to do?
Ericka D. James:
We may not know the 50 steps, but typically we know one to three, like I know I need to get in the gym or I know I need more marketing time or I know I gotta get this closet organized so I can think straight or I know most of us know something about the next steps. And if you can say, what do you know to do? Like without reading another book, taking another course, listening to anybody else’s process, what is already inside you that is urging you pulling you forward to do. And there’s gonna be some stuff in your personal life. And then there’s gonna be stuff in some professional life. And women always know it’s fascinating. We always know, well I gotta get my customer relationship management together. I gotta get my list together. I don’t, I need to figure out where my stuff is.
Ericka D. James:
What did I do with all these journal entries that I need to make into freebees or whatever it is, figure out your no K N O w your no, your know your K N O W right? And then you gotta know your know your, no, you have to start beginning to say, where’s that boundary? Where is my no. So I can say yes to actually getting what I know to do done. I think that is one of the most frustrating feelings when you know what you need to do, at least the next few steps and your time is not aligned to do it. That is so frustrating. Cuz that means another day went by and we didn’t get our know done our K and O w the things we know to do. So that’s really next trusting yourself to say, what do I, what do I know to do already right now?
Shine in the Marketplace
Ericka D. James:
And there’s some things God has been telling us. And you may not clearly hear the voice of the holy spirit, but God has imparted some knowing. And so that’s really the next things. What do you know already know to do? Then you gotta know your no, where are you gonna start saying, I call it guessing, where are we gonna stop guessing? So we can actually block out the time to do the things we know to do. Mm-hmm and we begin to take those steps. And, in that obedience, God will bring that third step. He’ll bring that fourth step. And before you know it, if you’re moving forward with focused obedience, then you will, you will get there. And I’m, this is gonna sound so hokey. Well, one of the most amazing tools I have Mimika is my digital kitchen timer. And it sits right here and it’s all beat up.
Ericka D. James:
If you look closely, I keep batteries because I’m always setting this nothing incoming. I don’t check emails. I don’t check this. Do what I know to do. Just give myself the like, love myself enough to give myself the time, to know what I need to, to do the things I know to do. And from there, I don’t wanna say magic starts to happen, but supernatural manifestation begins to happen when you move in obedience and you’re able to focus forward and not let, like you said earlier, the distractions of people and the world come, oh, God rewards that. So wonderfully.
Mimika Cooney:
And I love how you said with the obedience. And this is the other thing that always comes to mind is they’re like, well, what should I do? What should I do? And I always say, well, what is the last thing God told you to do? Because he’s not gonna give you the 10 step blueprint. And especially like women, I know who are high achievers. They want to know aA to Z and God’s when’s gonna happen. And when we’re supposed to happen and how and I’m not moving until I know all of that.
Mimika Cooney:
Exactly. It’s like, I’m not gonna make his decision until I know all a hundred steps. And God’s like, sorry, honey. It doesn’t work like that. He’ll give you one to maybe three. And if we are in disobedience, he then pulls back and says, how about you do the one thing? And then we almost like, well, why are things aren’t happening? Well, and I always have to remind ourselves is what is the last thing God told you to do? He will not allow you to pass begin until you do the last thing, because it’s like an unlocking a puzzle, right? You need the first and then the second and then the third follows. But I think sometimes we get so in our head and I know as women overthink everything, especially when you’re like, and this and this and this and this, but then we are like, what is the one thing? And sometimes one thing can almost feel almost ridiculously simple. Wouldn’t you think that simplicity sometimes is like, it can’t be that simple. And I think with God, the flow is actually meant to be simple. And what you mentioned earlier was the ease, right?
Ericka D. James:
It’s simple.
Mimika Cooney:
Sticking into that.
Ericka D. James:
Yeah. And then once you identify that one thing, here’s the thing women do. We do everything else, but the one thing, right? Because we love the feeling of checking something off of our task list. So I feel just as good when I checked email, as I did, when I wrote, worked on my, not just as good, but you feel accomplished well, here’s the thing. Get your timer out, do not use the timer on your phone, cuz that’s a gateway for distraction and do it first. And something happens when you lead with that obedience and you lead with that big thing, you get the passion and the momentum and the clarity and the belief for the next, for those other things that we do. So do the big thing. First, that thing that you know, to do knock it out first and it’s gonna take, I’m telling you sometimes you’ve gotta fight against every single distraction.
Ericka D. James:
That’s gonna try to come and get you away from it because God always requires us to overcome. It is not a spiritual attack. Please stop saying that it is God teaching us to overcome. And like Mimika said, finish that last thing because our capacity develops in that our faith develops in that our belief develops in that our know how develops in that and we wanna skip to step five and God’s like finish step one. So I can send you to step two and step three, God is very methodical. He is not a random God at all. And so do what you know to do and then know, you know, and get it done.
Mimika Cooney:
Love that. Tell you if you need to rewind this and go ahead and make some notes. Definitely go back and listen to what Eric Ericka to say, because this is gold cuz understandings. And sometimes you think, well, can’t be that simple. And sometimes, and oftentimes it is. God brings you people who will speak into your life, who will share these things that it’s really just do the last thing and do that in, in obedience. And it’s amazing how obedience unlocks a lot of, lot of things. So really it’s kind of like us parents with kids, like you better do what I ask you to do, cuz you ain’t getting no rewards or
Ericka D. James:
Won’t to do what you gotta do won, but you won’t do the thing I’ve asked you to do. It’s like that. You’re not getting that boo boo. It’s, it’s very simple. Sorry. Cause I can’t even trust you with that. So I can’t trust you with the next thing. Yeah,
Mimika Cooney:
Exactly. So it’s pretty simple. God is a good father and he knows exactly what we need when we need it. Even when we complain and have two year old, his, if it’s, he’s like, ah, honey, that’s not gonna work for you. Time to calm down.
Ericka D. James:
He’s like, are you done? Now? Let’s get busy exactly thing that I’m feeling so clearly that we are in a season of execution, get the inner work done and then execute and you know, Mimika, cuz you do this work half the battles up here. Yeah. Shutting down the lies, shutting down the agreements we’ve made with, all of the stuff from our past. But it’s a joy. It is a joy and it is possible. I want you guys to know this. It is possible to be fearless. It is possible to be focused. It is possible to wake up and not doubt and not question and not procrastinate.

Ericka D. James:
Woo heaven, father. We just come first and foremost, thanking you for who you are thanking you for being the creator, the alpha and the omega. The one that knew us before you placed us in our mother’s wounds, the one who gave us purpose and a calling and a position. And we thank you for loving us so much that you gave us your very heart Jesus in whom we sit in heavenly places at your right hand. And so Lord, we ask that you teach us how to think, operate and execute with your kingdom, power, dominion, and authority. We ask for clarity Lord in the name of Jesus so that we don’t have to wonder and guess anymore, but you impart it from the inside out God and show us your heavenly strategies and those blueprints for who you created us to be and how you called us to bring forth these businesses to impact lives and industries and generations to come.
Ericka D. James:
Lord, we are just decreeing that we are who you say we are and we can do what you say we can do. And so we thank you right now. We just call back any distractions, anything that would attempt to stop us from executing Lord and show us that straight path in the name of Jesus. And we just call forth those angels that carry the scrolls with, with the already written instructions for our businesses, for our lives, you are welcomed with us through the holy spirit. And we say, holy spirit have your way, any spiritual eyes that need to be open spiritual ears that need to be open and unlocked so we can tune to your heavenly frequency. We call that forth now in the name of Jesus and Lord, we play, we pray blessings over each and every business and business owner that is listening to this live that is listening to this via recording. We just thank you for your blessings and your multiplication. And we just pray blessings over Mimika and all that she is building and all this we say and ask in Jesus name. Amen.
