# The Supernatural Ways of Royalty  ## Metadata - Author: [[Kris Vallotton, Bill Johnson]] - Full Title: The Supernatural Ways of Royalty - Category: #books ## Highlights - The revelation of our true identity will destroy the spirit of poverty in our lives. Until that revelation happens, we will keep thinking there are limits on what we get to have. As a result, we are jealous of anyone who receives something that we don’t have. This leaks into all aspects of our lives including work, friends, and positions within the church.

It doesn’t matter what we want to reproduce. It’s only important what we imagine while we are thinking and drinking at the watering hole of our imagination.

([Location 468](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B072TPGMCM&location=468)) - Failures we have repented of are no longer the standard that we must bow to. When we asked God and those we have hurt to forgive us, we were set back up to the high place God assigned to us. Otherwise the worst day of our lives becomes the highest place that we have the right to lead others to. The truth is that forgiveness restores the standard of holiness in us and through us.

This means that when the people we are leading become greater than us , we receive the greatest compliment we can ever get. If we believe that we are leading because we are the most qualified, then we will subconsciously work to undermine other people’s advancements.

It leads to bitterness, unforgiveness, and torment, and it results in our going into a spiritual prison where all guards work for the dark side. The spirits who guard the walls of this prison have names like sickness, depression, hatred, and murder. ([Location 560](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B072TPGMCM&location=560)) - true repentance is to “change the way we think.” ([Location 627](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B072TPGMCM&location=627))
