00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.240
All right, hello, welcome.

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:15.840
Hopefully you guys will turn on your computers and let me see your lovely faces.

3
00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:18.880
It makes a huge difference as we lead these sessions.

4
00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:23.720
You guys will hear Jackie talk about there's grace on your face and it really there really

5
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:25.760
really is.

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.640
So I'm going to apologize in advance.

7
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.600
I am battling some kind of flu or something.

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.840
I've kind of resisted it for a week now and it just crept in overnight.

9
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.680
And so I'm going to be kind of clear in my throat a lot tonight.

10
00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:40.680
So I apologize.

11
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:44.600
It's just going to be the way we're going to roll tonight, but I'm excited for you all

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.600
to be here.

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.760
If this is your first time, who's who's here for your first time tonight?

14
00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:49.760
Just so I know.

15
00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:50.760
Is anybody a newbie?

16
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:51.760
All right.

17
00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:52.760
Welcome.

18
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:53.760
Welcome.

19
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:54.760
Welcome.

20
00:00:54.760 --> 00:00:55.760
Let's see, Sarah, Jennifer.

21
00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:56.760
All right.

22
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:02.680
I know some of the other new ladies will be catching the replay and that's totally fine.

23
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:03.960
My name is Bethany Cooper.

24
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.280
I am one of the heart work coaches in here.

25
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.720
We also have Annette and Jennifer Yankovic will be commenting, excuse me, on your all's

26
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.000
your posts and things like that.

27
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000
They'll engage with you.

28
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.440
They're also helping me in the group just so you know that they are part of our team.

29
00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:26.280
And then the other thing for you all that are new, you get to take all your helper hats

30
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.280
off.

31
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.080
You don't, you don't have to help anybody in here.

32
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:33.840
You get to just come in and receive and let God do what he's doing in your life.

33
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.600
And it's just going to be a really great, great time.

34
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:41.240
You can always cheer each other on and, you know, pray for each other, but we just want

35
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:43.480
you guys to know that you don't have to help.

36
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.480
You don't have to coach, no advice, all that kind of stuff.

37
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.000
And then the other couple of little housekeeping, I always do housekeeping at the beginning

38
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.000
of lives.

39
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:57.680
I don't want to do that very long, but it's always important as well.

40
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.760
Just because I noticed a couple of people were feeling like a little anxious because

41
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.840
they weren't where they felt like they needed to be because maybe there were other people

42
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.640
that started at the same time as them.

43
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.400
What's important is for you guys to go at your pace, like your life.

44
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.360
Obviously we don't want you to stay here like long-term necessarily like months and months

45
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.920
and months, but like life happens too, right?

46
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:23.000
So you go at your own pace, the best practice.

47
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.040
This is what we recommend because this is where we see the most success one week of

48
00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:29.840
content per week.

49
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.840
Okay.

50
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.080
So in your Jackie Dorman website portal, when you go in there, it's by week, you know, it's

51
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.080
by week.

52
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.800
Um, one of the things I've noticed, because I can, we can see all on the backend of everything,

53
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:47.840
like everything everybody's doing and whatnot, I'm noticing not a lot of people are watching

54
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.920
the welcome video all the way through y'all are going to want to watch that Jackie says

55
00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:54.360
some really important stuff in that video.

56
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:55.440
You're not going to want to miss it.

57
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:59.440
I know it might, you might be itching to get to that first week of content, but that welcome

58
00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.880
video also has some supernatural things in there that really set up your heart to receive

59
00:03:05.880 --> 00:03:07.040
the other content.

60
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:11.600
So please make sure you're watching that even if you're in week four and you didn't fully

61
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:14.600
watch that, I would encourage you to go back and watch that.

62
00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:15.600
All right.

63
00:03:15.600 --> 00:03:19.280
And then, um, just don't rush.

64
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.480
We do have daily prayer.

65
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:26.960
If you don't know, um, our prayer times and our schedule are in your Facebook group guides

66
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:28.280
tab.

67
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.080
Be very familiar with the guides tab.

68
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.640
So those we'll talk about the portal a lot, and we'll talk about Facebook and guides,

69
00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.120
um, for all of our new ladies also, and some of you lovely ladies that I don't see as much

70
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.280
when you post, but I love seeing you all.

71
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.280
I do.

72
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:46.960
We like hearing from you.

73
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.080
We like knowing what's going on and that's how we can help you get to where God wants

74
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.320
you to go as well.

75
00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:59.840
It basically accelerates your, your journey when you come in and show up and that's even

76
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.840
the struggles.

77
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.280
I don't know if you've noticed, but other people in the group have posted their breakthroughs,

78
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.320
their struggles, um, areas, they need prayer, all of those kinds of things.

79
00:04:09.320 --> 00:04:14.940
And when you guys do that sincerely, it not only invites the Lord to come in, but it invites

80
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.500
the community, you know, your sisters that you're doing this with, as well as the coaches

81
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:23.940
to be able to come alongside of you in a really good way.

82
00:04:23.940 --> 00:04:25.940
So I got to meet someone here.

83
00:04:25.940 --> 00:04:27.300
All right.

84
00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:29.220
So those are my announcements for you tonight.

85
00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:31.780
I did a quick, you all, I did it in like five minutes.

86
00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:33.340
I feel proud of that.

87
00:04:33.340 --> 00:04:34.340
All right.

88
00:04:34.340 --> 00:04:35.860
So let's pray and get started.

89
00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:37.860
God has some good stuff tonight.

90
00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:43.140
All right, father, thank you so much for who you are.

91
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:47.660
Thank you that, uh, even tonight, you're just, I already feel like you're supernatural

92
00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:50.060
empowerment Lord.

93
00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:53.460
So I just ask you to meet every one of these ladies in a special way, no matter what they've

94
00:04:53.460 --> 00:04:58.220
come in with, no matter what baggage, maybe they're tired, Lord, maybe they've had a tough

95
00:04:58.220 --> 00:05:00.020
day or Lord.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.200
They're just super excited about what you're doing in their life, wherever they're at.

97
00:05:03.200 --> 00:05:08.760
God, thank you that you're meeting them in this night and this just a special, special way.

98
00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:14.200
I pray that you would open their eyes to see what your Spirit's doing, their ears to hear what your Spirit is saying.

99
00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:19.400
Holy Spirit, I ask you just to come and just hover over them in a loving way.

100
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:21.240
Let them feel your grace and your truth.

101
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:26.200
We ask you to bring those things out of darkness into the light, Lord God.

102
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:34.360
Even things that we may have shoved down years ago that that are still impacting us or getting us to to be tripped up or triggered.

103
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:41.360
God, I pray that you bring those things to the light, bring revealing for healing to those areas so that we can move forward.

104
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.720
And we just thank you for it in Jesus name.

105
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:44.960
Amen.

106
00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:46.600
All right, y'all, I'm sorry.

107
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.080
I'm going to have to do this to a lot.

108
00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:53.120
I'm trying to power through tonight.

109
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.280
So as I was reading your all's responses.

110
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:58.720
Hi, Lori.

111
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.800
I also say hi, everyone on Facebook.

112
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.480
Come join us here on Zoom if you want to be in the breakouts with us.

113
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.720
But I'll say hi to you all there as well.

114
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:15.640
But as I was praying, I was reading your all's, some of your weekly roll calls and just praying for you guys in these sessions this morning.

115
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.160
And the Lord just kept putting on my heart supernatural surrender, supernatural surrender.

116
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.720
And this is exactly like specifically what came to mind.

117
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.680
What does this even mean?

118
00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:31.040
What does it even mean to supernaturally surrender?

119
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:34.120
And I know some of you have already read that content.

120
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.320
You've watched the videos.

121
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:48.000
But I believe just from the session even earlier today that God is is wanting to show you another layer of what it means to really let go and surrender to God's will and plan for your life.

122
00:06:48.200 --> 00:07:03.760
And so as we step into that tonight, I just want to remind you that, you know, surrendering is when, for example, if there's a battle going on, it doesn't mean that you just don't care.

123
00:07:03.760 --> 00:07:08.600
It's that you're choosing to wave the white flag and you're saying, I surrender.

124
00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:10.320
I surrender to your ways.

125
00:07:10.320 --> 00:07:12.240
I surrender to what's going on.

126
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.000
And what can be scary about that is a lot of us.

127
00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:27.240
We just don't want to let go because we think we can make it happen better, quicker and more advanced, whatever that looks like in a lot of different ways.

128
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:32.960
And sometimes it's even a subconscious like, God, I've got this like I can I can do this.

129
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:34.320
I can figure this out.

130
00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:35.600
I can make this happen.

131
00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:43.240
And God is just always saying, sweet daughter, my beloved daughter, will you trust me?

132
00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:48.600
And that's where I want us to go tonight as well, because the reality is this.

133
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:55.080
We we will struggle, struggle to surrender if we don't truly trust.

134
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:03.680
And trusting comes from truly knowing who you are in Christ and being so rooted in the love of God, like who we is.

135
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:11.920
And everything that is makes him up the goodness, the faithfulness, the kindness, all of these attributes that are who he is.

136
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.080
He is love.

137
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:14.760
He can't deny himself.

138
00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:15.560
He is love.

139
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:19.760
And so therefore, if we don't know him as that.

140
00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:30.520
There's no shame tonight, there's no shame, but if we don't really know him that way, we are going to struggle to trust that he really has something good for us.

141
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:41.840
So a lot of times the reason we do this back and forth, like the Jesus, you know, take the wheel, but no, I'm going to take it back because, oh, my gosh, it's not happening the way I thought we were supposed to turn right here and you're turning left.

142
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.680
And and we take the wheel back and we're like, OK, I got this.

143
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:46.600
And then we're like messing it up.

144
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.800
And then we're like, oh, my God, no, I don't take it back, take it back.

145
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:57.720
And so if we'll just if we'll just let him take the wheel, like really let him take the wheel.

146
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.680
For some of you this week, it might look like.

147
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:10.120
Maybe just letting him come in a little further into your heart, into the places that feel unspoken.

148
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:22.000
You know, I've talked a lot over the last few weeks, if you guys have heard any of those lives, some of our newer ladies won't, but that those do not enter signs where it feels really vulnerable and tender that we would let him in.

149
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.080
And as I've said before, he's a gentleman.

150
00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:26.920
He's not going to force his way in.

151
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.440
He's going to knock.

152
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.880
He knocks on the door of our hearts and he asked us to let him come in.

153
00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:34.280
And so that's who he is.

154
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:36.600
He's never going to force his way in.

155
00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:42.920
And so when we lean into the Holy Spirit, you guys will hear a lot about the revealing for healing.

156
00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:44.040
We don't dig.

157
00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:51.760
So I don't want you guys getting out your shovels and trying to figure out what got you to where you are and what the mess is and and figure, you know, where what is it?

158
00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:52.760
Is it this? Is it this?

159
00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:54.800
And you're like just analyzing and analyzing.

160
00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:58.680
No, here, here I'm living, literally giving you all permission.

161
00:09:58.680 --> 00:09:59.800
You don't have to do that.

162
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.320
Sincerely, you just have to say, Lord, will you reveal the root

163
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.280
to me of what's triggering me in this situation? Lord, man,

164
00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:11.040
that, that was really hard for me. When that person said that

165
00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:15.280
to me, it didn't just hurt me. Like it's, I felt it deep. Like

166
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:18.680
what's that about? Like what's going on there. And we're just,

167
00:10:18.680 --> 00:10:22.880
we get really good at asking good questions and we trust that

168
00:10:22.880 --> 00:10:27.160
he will reveal things for healing in their perfect timing

169
00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:31.560
for you, just like he did for me. And I can tell you, like,

170
00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:33.800
even today, there's a couple things this morning, and I might

171
00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:36.440
not share the same stories tonight. So if people saw this

172
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.560
morning, you might see a little different, but the one in

173
00:10:39.560 --> 00:10:44.480
particular, I had this lady. She's, she's a friend of mine,

174
00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:47.880
and she's been through this program and she's healing a lot.

175
00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:52.920
But in particular, she just gets really triggered, especially if

176
00:10:53.280 --> 00:10:57.000
she messages people via text or whatever, and they can't

177
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.400
respond to her right away. And, and I've been working with her

178
00:11:01.400 --> 00:11:04.720
on this, but in particular, there was a day last week where

179
00:11:04.760 --> 00:11:07.520
I mean, I'm pretty busy, y'all. I try to make time for people as

180
00:11:07.520 --> 00:11:10.000
much as I can. But there are times where I have to set

181
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.120
boundaries and I just could not respond to her that day. But I

182
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.680
didn't ignore her. I sent a message and said, Hey, I'm, you

183
00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:19.680
know, I love you, but I'm like swamped today. I'm going to go

184
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:22.320
from back to back to back to back. I can't like, I can't even

185
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.240
take anything else on. And, uh, you know, she said she was good.

186
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.800
But, uh, then another friend who has like met someone and is

187
00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:36.560
potentially walked into her spirit mate relationship, that

188
00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:40.840
friend hasn't been as responsive either. And so what happened is

189
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.080
the enemy came in and has now triggered her and told her that

190
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.200
she's all alone and like, nobody cares about her. She's isolated,

191
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:53.080
all this stuff. And I bring that up tonight because I think

192
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.880
there are even some of you that that is kind of the lie. The

193
00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:01.280
enemy has you on this hamster wheel that if somebody doesn't

194
00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:03.440
respond to you in a certain timeframe, it means they don't

195
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.760
love you or that you are abandoned or you're alone. And

196
00:12:06.760 --> 00:12:09.520
the enemy tries to tell you you're an orphan and you just

197
00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:11.880
don't fit in and you're never going to fit in. And what were

198
00:12:11.880 --> 00:12:16.640
you thinking? And whatever that looks like for you, it's

199
00:12:16.640 --> 00:12:20.680
different for everybody, but it's a lie from the pit of hell.

200
00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:25.080
The enemy is assigned to get you to go away from the things God

201
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.360
has for you here. You are in this really, you are not, I'm

202
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.920
not just saying this because I'm a leader here, but this is an

203
00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:36.040
incredible move of God. And I'm, you know, people make mistakes.

204
00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:38.200
You're going to run into people that still make mistakes in this

205
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.480
group, but I'm telling you what, this is a really amazing

206
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.440
community. And in community, you have an opportunity to meet a

207
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.320
amazing sisters and not only become friends, but really

208
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.240
genuinely become like sisters where you're in each other's

209
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.640
weddings and all kinds of things like, and, and, you know, I'm

210
00:12:56.640 --> 00:13:00.120
not just saying this. I literally was in a friend's

211
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:04.800
wedding in September that I met on a retreat in this community

212
00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:08.440
back in 2021, we became very close friends. I still talk to

213
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.240
her all the time. She's married, she's blending the family and

214
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:17.440
God's doing some stuff there. So all this, I'm trying to weave

215
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:22.040
together so that you guys start to lean in and even surrender to

216
00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:27.280
community. What does it mean to let someone into your heart in

217
00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:30.960
life, even in the vulnerable places? Here's another thing.

218
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.680
I'm, I'm, I'm planting some seeds, y'all. I love to come in

219
00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:37.240
and just plant seeds and stir some stuff up. And then you guys

220
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.320
will go into breakouts here in a minute. So I had another friend

221
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:47.480
her and I've been chatting. We talk all the time. And in the

222
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:52.560
last week, our conversation has been around. You're safe here.

223
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.840
You're safe here. And her and I were having a conversation and

224
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:01.080
she said, yeah, I know we were talking, her and I were talking.

225
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.600
And I said, no, look at me like for real. And she just looked at

226
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.440
me and I said, God wants you to know you're safe with me. She's

227
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.080
like, I know. And I was like, do you? And I was following the

228
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.280
Holy Spirit in that. We talked a little bit more, you know, and

229
00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:22.640
we, we had a great time, got off that, got off that connection

230
00:14:22.640 --> 00:14:27.800
time. And the next morning she messaged me, she woke up in the

231
00:14:27.800 --> 00:14:31.600
middle of the night. She had some kind of dream and she was

232
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.920
praying into that. And the Lord started speaking to her about

233
00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:39.920
what I said to her that day. And, um, what he revealed was

234
00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:46.040
that she didn't really believe that people want to, or have

235
00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:51.280
space in their life for her. That's the lie the enemy was

236
00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:55.720
telling her. And so we've been talking through that. And then,

237
00:14:55.760 --> 00:14:58.920
um, I'm kind of, hopefully I'm weaving this all together so you

238
00:14:58.920 --> 00:14:59.960
guys can kind of see the

239
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.600
tapestry I'm pulling together here. My husband and I are going

240
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.080
through some transitions and changes. We're praying a lot

241
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.160
into it, talking about it. We believe God's going to end up,

242
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.560
you know, shifting us from the two churches we've been

243
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:14.680
pastoring and move us somewhere else. And we just don't know

244
00:15:14.680 --> 00:15:18.640
where that's at yet. And the other day I was sharing with

245
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:23.440
someone and there was just this automatic, like, it reminded me

246
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.560
of my conversation with my friend that I'm telling you

247
00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:29.520
about. It was this automatic, like, that's why you're in

248
00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:33.240
community. Because she said to me, she said, do you remember

249
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.000
what you've been telling me for the last year that you all want,

250
00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:40.400
like, that you want, that you're asking God for? And so I was

251
00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:43.880
like, no, tell me. And she sent this reminder. And so that's

252
00:15:43.880 --> 00:15:49.000
what being in community, like someone that loves you enough to

253
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.680
remind you why you're here, that God loves you enough to remind

254
00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:57.600
you why you're here. You're here because somewhere deep within,

255
00:15:57.800 --> 00:16:01.800
you believe God has a love story for you that far exceeds

256
00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:04.640
anything that you've experienced before. Some of you, maybe

257
00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:07.680
you've never dated before, and God wants to really knock your

258
00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:13.520
socks off. So what does it mean to fully let go and step into

259
00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:17.160
that tonight for you? We're gonna talk real quick about

260
00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:20.800
control freaks. Does anyone else in here struggle with control?

261
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.400
Anyone else like to have control? We got to control

262
00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:27.560
everything, right? And we don't even mean to sometimes, ladies,

263
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.080
sometimes we just, that's just we're raised that way. And so I

264
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:36.160
want to encourage you, this is the thing. When we really look

265
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:41.840
at control, at the root of it, control often comes from a place

266
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.960
of fear, a place of fear, or wanting to keep something in

267
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:52.520
order and out of chaos. So why do we, hi, Kendra, so why do we

268
00:16:52.520 --> 00:16:57.520
struggle in this way? Why do we, why do we want to have control?

269
00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:03.760
And there are times where yes, God will create order. Okay, so

270
00:17:03.760 --> 00:17:06.920
don't, don't hear what I'm not saying. God is a God of order.

271
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.480
But it's different if he's creating order in something

272
00:17:10.760 --> 00:17:16.079
versus if we are controlling it. So here's, here's how it can

273
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:22.280
sound. I've got this. I don't need any help. I'm good on my

274
00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:30.440
own. Well, really, are we? If we are, then why are we here?

275
00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:34.720
Right? What is God saying to you about the areas where you are

276
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.480
trying to control and you're trying to say, I've got this, I

277
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.640
don't, and this isn't just God in you. This is people are

278
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.320
coming in your life, and they're asking you for help. Or excuse

279
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:49.360
me, they're asking if they can help you. And you're like, No, I

280
00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:53.200
got this. Even guys are trying to hold doors open for you.

281
00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:58.040
Y'all, I have little boys holding doors for me. More and

282
00:17:58.040 --> 00:18:00.600
more and more. Do you know when we walk in the divine feminine,

283
00:18:00.600 --> 00:18:03.640
you guys will learn about this more in a couple weeks. Like

284
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.000
divine feminine, the power of the Holy Spirit and the divine

285
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:12.360
feminine commands in the spirit to be recognized. It's not a

286
00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:15.680
prideful thing. It's just an it's an error in a manner of

287
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:20.320
being. And grown men will hold doors for you. Other women will

288
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:23.840
hold doors for you boys. It's just like people notice you and

289
00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:27.400
they're like, Oh, let me help you. I'm serious. I used to

290
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:32.120
think like, like, I can do this. I don't need it. I'm the one

291
00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:35.440
carrying all the bags in on the double arms instead of making

292
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.440
multiple trips. Yes, that is me carrying the groceries in. And I

293
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.480
want to do as least amount of trips as possible. Yeah,

294
00:18:43.520 --> 00:18:47.280
imagine dating someone chivalrous, and they're like,

295
00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:51.800
let me help you. You're like, No, I've got it. I can carry it

296
00:18:51.800 --> 00:18:56.720
all. And God's just like, No. So practice now. Get your practice

297
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.400
in now because you guys are going to meet men, spirit mates

298
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.480
that are chivalrous, they're kind and they have goodness in

299
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.520
them. I'm telling you because I'm married to one. Y'all, I had

300
00:19:07.520 --> 00:19:11.440
to learn how to let him help me. I still do. After he had a

301
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.600
surgery, during his surgery, y'all, I'm doing all the things

302
00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:18.160
again. And so I got used to doing it, because he wasn't even

303
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.720
allowed to carry weight. And so then now he's he can again, and

304
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.440
he's like, let me help you. I'm like, I just realized I shift I

305
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.680
started shifting right back into that. I've got this. So some of

306
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:36.200
you tonight, God's saying, let it go. Just let that thing drop.

307
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:44.640
What if, thank you, Lord, in the area of perfectionism? What if

308
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.080
we just decided tonight that we don't have to be perfect? It

309
00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:52.000
doesn't mean we're not still going to do our best and do it

310
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.480
with excellence. But what if we did just let that one thing

311
00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.120
drop?

312
00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.560
That's

313
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.600
It's wearing us out. Maybe it's a person and, and they're just draining you and draining you and

314
00:20:05.600 --> 00:20:11.680
draining like that friend. I love her. But when you, when anyone doesn't respect our boundaries,

315
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:16.880
ladies, when I say, Hey, I can't, I can't talk. And you keep messaging me. That tells me that

316
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:25.440
you have an issue with boundaries. And then I'm going to pull back more from that. Right. So what,

317
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:29.600
where do we need to let go tonight? So that's what I'm, I'm giving you kind of a grab bag.

318
00:20:29.600 --> 00:20:33.920
You guys can talk about whatever is speaking to you from anything that I said, when you go

319
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.920
into your breakout, where do you, you know, where are you struggling to surrender? Where do you

320
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:43.200
struggle with control? You know, is there some area where you're saying I've got this or, you

321
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:47.120
know, the, where do you need to let go of something? I mean, if there's something else that's

322
00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:50.720
on your heart, you can talk about that too. I'm just, I'm just giving you guys a bunch to go in

323
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:57.360
there and you can talk about whatever is on your heart tonight. Hello to the ladies that just

324
00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:02.560
recently joined us. So good to see you all. All right. Give me one second here.

325
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.640
All right. You're going to get, you're going to be in there for eight minutes. I'll be praying

326
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.680
for you all. And I'll be talking to my ladies over here on Facebook. Here you go.

327
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:28.080
All right. Click to join. I'll be watching if, if someone ends up by themselves,

328
00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:37.600
we'll move people around. All right. I've got Selina. Mel, are you able to click to join?

329
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:51.600
Oh, that's why that got me. I'm going to move you. Let's see here.

330
00:21:54.560 --> 00:22:02.320
All right. Awesome. So all my ladies, hi, Sophia. Hello, Melissa, Kendra. All right. So ladies,

331
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:06.720
feel free. You can put in the chat there. Is there something that's speaking to you out of what we've

332
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.840
been talking about already tonight? Where's God telling you that like you need to just surrender

333
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:16.560
in a new level right now? Where is he saying, maybe let go of control tonight. Just feel free

334
00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:21.600
to put that in the chat and we'll, I'll be able to speak into those and pray for you as well.

335
00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:26.160
If you're just joining us, you can come on zoom with us so that you can get into a breakout

336
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:31.200
session. It's okay. If you're, you're just joining, there's plenty of time to go into a breakout room.

337
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.400
So I'm going to pray for you guys while they're in there. Father, thank you so much

338
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:43.440
for just this amazing night. God. Thank you. Yes, Lord. Thank you that you sent Jesus

339
00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:48.480
and Jesus. Thank you for coming. Thank you for dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our

340
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:54.560
sins, for our healing, for our freedom. We thank you that you give us the supernatural ability to

341
00:22:54.560 --> 00:23:03.360
overcome. Thank you, Lord, that we don't have to just survive God that we can thrive. Hi, Lisa.

342
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.400
Let me put you in a group. Hey, my notifications were off. So

343
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:15.680
you could throw me back into a room. That'd be great. Oh, were you in a room already? I was.

344
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.000
And then I couldn't figure it out because I'm using my phone today instead of my computer. So

345
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:29.680
that's all right. You were with, um, I think I was in, Oh, shoot. I think I've been okay. Yep. Yeah.

346
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.320
It's okay. I'll just, sorry about that. That's all right. It's totally fine. All right. Hi,

347
00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:42.640
Johanna. All right. I'm going to put you in a group too. Oh, hold on. Why is that acting funny?

348
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:53.200
There we go. All right. There you go. All right. Lord, thank you so much for, uh, Jennifer says

349
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:58.960
I've noticed I struggle with being worthy because I'm a child of God. I tend to want to earn and

350
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:06.240
deserve his love inheritance promises. Jennifer, you're not alone. I promise so many, so many

351
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:12.240
struggle with that. And in what it is, is that we, we have a heart, a head knowledge, excuse me,

352
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:17.920
had knowledge up here, but our heart doesn't fully understand because we have those lies that

353
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:23.280
are still in there and the wounds that are unhealed that say different things to us.

354
00:24:23.280 --> 00:24:29.120
That's where the enemy has power and he can create and establish those strongholds. And so

355
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:34.720
the more that we heal, the more that we break free from the lies and any kind of soul ties and things

356
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.560
like that, that's when we can start to overcome. And obviously replacing the lies with the truth

357
00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:46.800
is a part of that process. So we just encourage you, Jennifer, in this next week, go ahead and

358
00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:53.040
just look up a couple of scriptures on what does it mean to be the beloved, the beloved daughter of

359
00:24:53.040 --> 00:24:59.840
God, like look up some scriptures and pick out one or two that resonate for you and ask God to.

360
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.560
really show you what those mean for you in this season.

361
00:25:03.560 --> 00:25:05.460
Sorry, ladies, I have to take a drink.

362
00:25:07.560 --> 00:25:09.560
For those that have joined us late,

363
00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:11.600
I'm battling some kind of cold flu thing,

364
00:25:11.600 --> 00:25:15.580
so my voice is a little rough tonight.

365
00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:17.240
But yeah, so if you lean into those

366
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.760
and just let God show you in this new season

367
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.680
what he wants to say

368
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.040
and how he wants to show up to you in a new way.

369
00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:32.040
So last night, Kendra, yes, it was amazing.

370
00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:34.760
And I'm sorry to hear that you felt a little anxious.

371
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.600
Some of that will get better with time

372
00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:40.040
because you'll start to grow and grow and grow.

373
00:25:40.040 --> 00:25:43.040
Hi, Casey, let me put you into a breakout room here.

374
00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:50.280
All right, so the more that you grow,

375
00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:51.220
I'm not saying, I mean,

376
00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:53.960
sometimes I still get nervous for sure,

377
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.600
but you'll grow and you'll get more comfortable

378
00:25:56.600 --> 00:25:59.920
and understand what the prophetic even means.

379
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.380
Last night, it was kind of like a wet your appetite

380
00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:03.840
kind of teaching on it.

381
00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:06.360
Sometimes she's gone deeper into it in the past,

382
00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:09.040
but she did a little bit lighter on it.

383
00:26:09.040 --> 00:26:11.300
But we are gonna work on that in activations

384
00:26:11.300 --> 00:26:12.880
this next Sunday night.

385
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:14.460
So if you come there,

386
00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:16.500
there might be a little bit more practice

387
00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:19.360
on some of the things that we were implementing in that.

388
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.000
All right, so Lord, I just thank you also.

389
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:28.000
I just wanna pray for, Lord, the way that we see ourselves.

390
00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:31.200
I just pray right now for the hearts and the minds,

391
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:32.800
the souls, the spirits,

392
00:26:32.800 --> 00:26:36.200
and even the bodies of every one of us in this community

393
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:37.320
and this group,

394
00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:38.480
that you would help us to hear

395
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.900
what your spirit is saying to us,

396
00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:42.820
that you would help us to receive the truth

397
00:26:42.820 --> 00:26:45.160
that we are a pearl of great price,

398
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.000
that we are worthy of your love, God,

399
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:49.520
because you make us worthy.

400
00:26:49.520 --> 00:26:51.400
And we just thank you that you would open us up

401
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:53.660
to receive all that you have for us.

402
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:57.240
We ask you to lift any veil of deception

403
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.720
off of our hearts, our minds, Lord,

404
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.680
even our bodies where our bodies,

405
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:04.680
we've become kind of disassociated

406
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.040
and kind of separated even from our own bodies in some ways.

407
00:27:08.040 --> 00:27:09.760
We thank you for convergence

408
00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:12.020
and bringing those things back together.

409
00:27:12.020 --> 00:27:14.320
We thank you for healing and redeeming us

410
00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:15.800
from the inside out.

411
00:27:15.800 --> 00:27:16.640
We thank you, Lord,

412
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.560
that you create in us clean hearts, oh God,

413
00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:23.240
and renew steadfast spirits within us.

414
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.040
And I just thank you tonight that you would show us,

415
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:30.500
Lord, if there's any area, I'm just seeing ladies,

416
00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:34.240
like if someone were taking kind of a dusting rag,

417
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:35.840
but it's not just dust,

418
00:27:35.840 --> 00:27:39.080
like there's dark areas in our hearts

419
00:27:39.080 --> 00:27:41.640
and God's just trying to clean that stuff out

420
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:43.400
and he's doing it in love,

421
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:45.440
even though sometimes it might hurt

422
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:47.520
or feel painful in any way,

423
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.120
but God is saying that it's out of his love

424
00:27:52.120 --> 00:27:53.580
that he's cleaning those places.

425
00:27:53.580 --> 00:27:54.840
So if that applies to you,

426
00:27:54.840 --> 00:27:56.600
if that's where you've been kind of feeling like,

427
00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:59.680
man, this is tough and I'm not sure,

428
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:01.040
man, do I wanna do this?

429
00:28:01.040 --> 00:28:06.040
Do I wanna go through this hard, hard, hard healing work?

430
00:28:06.120 --> 00:28:07.360
Is it worth it?

431
00:28:07.360 --> 00:28:08.680
I just wanna tell you it is.

432
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.660
It is, hang in there and keep going.

433
00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:12.560
God is working in ways beyond

434
00:28:12.560 --> 00:28:15.100
what you could ever ask, think, or imagine.

435
00:28:15.140 --> 00:28:17.060
And he's taking that rag

436
00:28:17.060 --> 00:28:20.660
and he's softening hardened stony places in your heart

437
00:28:20.660 --> 00:28:23.580
and he's making those areas soft and pliable

438
00:28:23.580 --> 00:28:27.980
to his voice, to his will and to his ways in your life.

439
00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:31.920
So just know that he sees you and he loves you.

440
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.460
It's out of his great love for you

441
00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:36.860
that he has called you through his loving kindnesses

442
00:28:36.860 --> 00:28:39.420
to repentance, to transformation.

443
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:43.760
And so we just thank you, Lord,

444
00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:47.640
that you see every part of us and you love us anyways.

445
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:49.040
He loves us anyways, ladies.

446
00:28:49.040 --> 00:28:51.440
His love is unconditional.

447
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.480
It doesn't, you know, there's nothing.

448
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.000
The Bible declares that nothing can separate us

449
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.980
from his love, not height, nor depth, nor principality,

450
00:28:58.980 --> 00:29:01.440
nor power, nor things in the present, nor things to come.

451
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:03.600
He loves you.

452
00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:05.160
Yes, Melissa, he loves you.

453
00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:06.560
Jennifer, he loves you.

454
00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:11.560
Lauren, Kendra, let's see, Lori, I think earlier, Sophia.

455
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.160
Yes, yes, yes.

456
00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:15.560
He calls you by name.

457
00:29:15.560 --> 00:29:17.120
Yes, let's see what else is he,

458
00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:18.880
what are people saying here?

459
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.520
Thank you, I couldn't join live.

460
00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:21.660
Yes, that's okay.

461
00:29:22.520 --> 00:29:25.480
If you purchased it, the replay should be up,

462
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.900
I would say in the next day or so.

463
00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:30.600
Our team has had so many replays we've had to work on.

464
00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:32.260
In addition, I don't know if y'all know,

465
00:29:32.260 --> 00:29:34.800
but we're doing a live challenge right now too.

466
00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:36.640
So that's kind of going on.

467
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.600
And Melissa, I see you, I'm very dusty.

468
00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:42.980
I struggle with being worthy, mainly body image.

469
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.860
Yes, me too, girl.

470
00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:46.340
I really have in the past,

471
00:29:46.340 --> 00:29:50.940
I just recently back in November did a session

472
00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:53.100
for another part of our community,

473
00:29:53.100 --> 00:29:55.380
we call them the phase three group

474
00:29:55.380 --> 00:29:58.780
on overcoming and breaking free from body shame.

475
00:29:58.780 --> 00:30:00.100
And so that was-

476
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.000
was powerful, was powerful to do that.

477
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.200
And so just want you to know you're not alone and God will

478
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:09.000
continue to speak to you in mighty ways.

479
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:12.500
Just keep leaning into him, leaning into him in those areas

480
00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:15.000
and giving him those vulnerable places and let it meet you

481
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.500
there.

482
00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:16.600
Hi ladies.

483
00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:17.800
Welcome back.

484
00:30:19.600 --> 00:30:21.500
Everybody's almost back with us.

485
00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:25.700
Almost got everybody.

486
00:30:26.100 --> 00:30:27.800
I did something here in my zoom thing.

487
00:30:27.800 --> 00:30:29.100
I was trying to, there we go.

488
00:30:30.100 --> 00:30:31.100
It's all messed up.

489
00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:37.300
Trying to watch our ladies on zoom so they can participate.

490
00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:38.300
Oh, here we go.

491
00:30:38.300 --> 00:30:39.900
All right, exciting.

492
00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.700
Yes.

493
00:30:41.300 --> 00:30:42.100
All right.

494
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:44.900
Oh, yeah.

495
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.900
Yeah, that replay might be available at some point Melissa.

496
00:30:48.900 --> 00:30:50.800
I'll make sure you guys know because I do think it'll be a

497
00:30:50.800 --> 00:30:52.000
blessing for a lot of people.

498
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.700
Hello.

499
00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:53.600
Welcome back.

500
00:30:53.800 --> 00:30:54.400
All right.

501
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.100
So for those that are new you might not know this but when we

502
00:30:57.100 --> 00:31:01.100
come back to the party, we start sharing with the whole

503
00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:03.300
group what you shared in your private breakout.

504
00:31:03.300 --> 00:31:05.500
So and that doesn't mean like don't panic.

505
00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:10.000
Everybody doesn't have to share but I just ask for someone

506
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:13.100
to start it off because normally once one person shares other

507
00:31:13.100 --> 00:31:15.100
people will feel led to share.

508
00:31:15.300 --> 00:31:18.300
So who wants to go first tonight and share with the whole

509
00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:18.800
group?

510
00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:26.500
I can go awesome.

511
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:28.100
Hi, I'm Swarna.

512
00:31:28.100 --> 00:31:28.700
Nice to meet you.

513
00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:30.900
Hi, nice to meet you.

514
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:33.600
I have some questions for you later, which I'll message on

515
00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:38.200
Facebook about phase two and all that but but I think we're

516
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:43.400
all in this continuum of being at different places, you know

517
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.400
with with the heart work.

518
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.200
So in our group, we feel like we're all kind of camped out

519
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:52.600
between three and four weeks three and four just taking our

520
00:31:52.600 --> 00:31:58.000
time digesting especially forgiveness because you know,

521
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.800
obviously the other ladies are remembering things that the

522
00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:05.300
Holy Spirit shows them from childhood and and and and for

523
00:32:05.300 --> 00:32:06.100
myself.

524
00:32:06.600 --> 00:32:09.700
That's something I've been working real hard on for several

525
00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:10.200
years.

526
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:14.500
So the Lord is faithful to remind me, you know, this is

527
00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:18.400
this person or family especially family choosing to forgive

528
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.900
them choosing not to be offended which I believe are going

529
00:32:21.900 --> 00:32:26.200
to be so important in marriage thus you're married.

530
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:31.200
So I've never been married but I'm I am sure that is I feel

531
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.400
like that has been a huge area of grace for me.

532
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:39.700
I've grown in that because the local church I go to you know

533
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:43.800
has dealt with a lot of that for us and and it's been great

534
00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:45.000
to grow in that area.

535
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.700
So I'm thankful, you know, and as Holy Spirit reminds me there's

536
00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:54.200
going to be more so I'm kind of camped out a week for right

537
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:54.500
now.

538
00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:58.800
I'm like doing the the forgiveness paperwork, you know,

539
00:32:58.800 --> 00:33:02.500
the book and everything and so I don't know how phase two

540
00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:05.200
works into this because they sent us the link last week.

541
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.000
So yeah, I'll talk about that a little bit tonight.

542
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.400
I will just say just so you guys know I'm sorry for any

543
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:11.200
confusion.

544
00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:14.600
They were moving based on the date you signed up, but that

545
00:33:14.600 --> 00:33:18.500
does not mean sorry that does not mean you have to go to

546
00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:19.600
phase two right now.

547
00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:23.400
If you are not finished with phase one heartwork, you need

548
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.700
to stay with me here stay with me and hang with me for as

549
00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:28.300
long as until you're done.

550
00:33:28.300 --> 00:33:33.900
So what done means is in the portal Jackie Dorman.com website

551
00:33:33.900 --> 00:33:37.000
portal you guys have all of your weeks in there.

552
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.000
You want to watch all of that stuff you want to show up to

553
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.000
the lives because every week you're watching material then

554
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.300
we're coming live and you're going to have five live sessions.

555
00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:48.300
So stay all the way until you get that fifth.

556
00:33:48.300 --> 00:33:50.300
I know it seems like well, what why does it matter?

557
00:33:50.300 --> 00:33:51.000
Let me just go on.

558
00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:56.100
I had ladies today that were getting freedom and it was

559
00:33:56.100 --> 00:33:58.700
stuff that you know, they've this was their fifth week.

560
00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.700
There was a fifth one.

561
00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:02.200
So you just never know what kind of nugget God still trying

562
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.300
to give you so you stay and you show up and then you're here

563
00:34:05.300 --> 00:34:06.200
in the Facebook group.

564
00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:09.500
You're posting you're engaging and you're just letting God

565
00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:11.500
give you everything during this time.

566
00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:15.100
But then when you're all finished with your coursework,

567
00:34:15.600 --> 00:34:18.000
then there will be I have a post in there right now, but I'll

568
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.699
do a refresher every week.

569
00:34:19.699 --> 00:34:22.400
I'll try to get in there and do a new one or at least tag

570
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.199
you guys in the one from the previous week, but there's

571
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:28.100
instructions on how to join that phase to you can hang on

572
00:34:28.100 --> 00:34:31.300
to that email if you'd like and you can do that at that time,

573
00:34:32.100 --> 00:34:32.900
but great question.

574
00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:37.100
Yeah, and part of the reason we've shifted a lot is because

575
00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:40.900
we always literally had to wait and we would get these big

576
00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:42.699
groups of people and then we would start and have and then

577
00:34:42.699 --> 00:34:45.400
we'd have all these people waiting and so this way people

578
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.800
can come in and they can go at their own pace and then they

579
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:49.900
can go on to the next phase at their own pace.

580
00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:52.199
So don't get into FOMO.

581
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.000
Don't give in you're not missing out.

582
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.500
God has you right where you need to be right now and there

583
00:34:59.500 --> 00:34:59.800
will be.

584
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.900
things you all and this is why it's so important to not and not that you were Swarma, but this

585
00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:09.380
just came up in my spirit. So I just that's why I'm going here. So bear with me, but like

586
00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:17.300
there are times that when FOMO is happening, if we will also understand that where we're

587
00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:24.420
at, excuse me, what is FOMO? Oh, fear of missing out. You're afraid of missing out. Yeah. Afraid

588
00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:28.140
of missing out when you start hearing, I have a lady going, this is happening to her right

589
00:35:28.140 --> 00:35:32.260
now in phase two, cause she didn't move to phase three when other people did. And so

590
00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:36.460
now phase three, they're talking about what's going on over there. So this fear of missing

591
00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:44.900
out it's happening. I'm sorry, y'all. I didn't even think about that. But when God is continuing

592
00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:50.900
to pour into us as leaders, and I think I did some pretty great stuff before, but the

593
00:35:50.900 --> 00:35:55.780
more I'm growing and healing and healing and healing, and God is imparting more, you all

594
00:35:55.780 --> 00:36:00.700
are getting a totally different Bethany than two years ago when I taught and led, right?

595
00:36:00.700 --> 00:36:05.260
So you just, you're here at this appointed time. And that applies for Jackie that applies

596
00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:12.940
for other coaches as well, whoever it is that's leading and facilitating, but you're here

597
00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:18.740
at this appointed time because God has something to impart to you that we have at this time.

598
00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:24.020
We might not have had it before. Okay. So on that note, just know, yeah, you're going

599
00:36:24.020 --> 00:36:28.380
to be here. Enjoy the ride. When you guys are leaning in, just know you don't have to

600
00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:33.900
stay in forgiveness forever. Don't, don't camp out there for a week. Like when I'm saying

601
00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:39.740
if you need to take two weeks or so, great, that's fine. But when you get into three and

602
00:36:39.740 --> 00:36:47.140
four long weeks of just constant forgiveness prayers, you all, that can be a lot. That's

603
00:36:47.140 --> 00:36:54.380
way a little too long there. And this is why forgiveness is an ongoing process. Healing

604
00:36:54.380 --> 00:37:00.220
is an ongoing process. So I don't want you guys to feel like you have to like stay here

605
00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:06.500
or that you're not able to move forward. You're going to continue to heal as you go. Okay.

606
00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:12.420
So did I answer the questions and anything there?

607
00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:20.220
So my question is regarding the, the Monday night session will be like next week. There's

608
00:37:20.220 --> 00:37:26.780
no FOMO here. I'm just asking like week six. So you'll still be the leader. We just do

609
00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:33.260
the link, the link that's on the Facebook page for, for this session. I can still continue

610
00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:40.620
with that. Yep. Yep. So I'll yeah. So if you are just now in week four, even if you've

611
00:37:40.620 --> 00:37:45.220
come to six live sessions, that doesn't matter. It's more based off of your course and where

612
00:37:45.220 --> 00:37:50.700
you're at in your course. Does that make sense? So you can, yeah. So it'll be a different

613
00:37:50.700 --> 00:37:58.460
person next week. Another I'll be here either myself or Jackie. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

614
00:37:58.460 --> 00:38:03.300
I have two coaches that help in the group and that and Jennifer. So there'll be responding

615
00:38:03.300 --> 00:38:07.820
to you guys in the group. Sometimes Jennifer's able to come live with us. Sometimes she's

616
00:38:07.820 --> 00:38:14.460
not just depends on their jobs, but yeah, every Monday night I'm here Mondays at one

617
00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:20.620
we're here Mondays at 8 PM Eastern. And that is the time for your live sessions for phase

618
00:38:20.620 --> 00:38:26.220
one. All right. Awesome. Great questions. Yeah. And I didn't, I didn't necessarily think

619
00:38:26.220 --> 00:38:30.860
you had FOMO, but it just came up in my spirit. So maybe someone else was struggling with

620
00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:37.180
that. All right. Who else wants to share or, or has something that God put on your heart

621
00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:45.020
to share with everyone? I'll share. So I actually got in a room with my friend, Amanda and I

622
00:38:45.020 --> 00:38:48.380
are doing this and we didn't know that we were both going to be on. So we were in the

623
00:38:48.380 --> 00:38:54.380
same room. So that was kind of fun. It's fun. Yeah. And so I just shared with, so last year

624
00:38:54.380 --> 00:39:00.300
I was in Mexico for 10 months for a missions trip teaching English. And so part of that

625
00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:05.740
control thing, I said, I really always wanted to be in control, but then I went to a country

626
00:39:05.740 --> 00:39:10.860
where I didn't know the language, basically didn't know anything. And so I really had

627
00:39:10.860 --> 00:39:16.460
to let all of that go. And so now coming back, there's still some things I try to be in control,

628
00:39:16.460 --> 00:39:21.340
but I feel like I've gotten better or even with just letting people help to, you know,

629
00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:25.340
like you said, they're just wanting to help. And so I feel like when we don't let others

630
00:39:25.340 --> 00:39:31.180
help, we're taking away a blessing. And so and then one of the things that Amanda and

631
00:39:31.180 --> 00:39:36.140
I talked about was just that completely surrendering. We talked about how we'll

632
00:39:36.140 --> 00:39:41.740
give it to God, but then we take it back and just the struggle of just leaving it there

633
00:39:41.740 --> 00:39:47.180
and completely surrendering. So yeah. That was so good. Thank you for sharing.

634
00:39:47.180 --> 00:39:51.500
When you were talking about the Mexico and you were being in a, you were in a country

635
00:39:51.500 --> 00:39:55.660
that you didn't have the knowledge of the language. And so you had to surrender.

636
00:39:55.660 --> 00:40:00.300
What came up in my spirit was that you all

637
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.880
Oh, learning, I'm so sorry.

638
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.720
Bear with me, you all.

639
00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:07.400
Learning the language of the Father

640
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:11.520
is like being in a new country, you all, sometimes.

641
00:40:11.520 --> 00:40:14.680
If you think about it, the heavenly language,

642
00:40:14.680 --> 00:40:17.760
like the way God speaks, the way God thinks,

643
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:21.160
even some of you all had some ladies sharing in the chat,

644
00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:23.520
you know, just really being on that prophesy your year

645
00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:24.640
and you're learning something new

646
00:40:24.640 --> 00:40:27.400
and you're being stretched and all these things,

647
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:29.640
like even learning and knowing truly

648
00:40:29.640 --> 00:40:31.160
what is the Father's love?

649
00:40:31.160 --> 00:40:32.040
What does it look like?

650
00:40:32.040 --> 00:40:32.920
What does it feel like?

651
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:35.040
What does it sound like?

652
00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:38.800
It can be like you're in another country, in a sense.

653
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.600
And it's like completely surrendering

654
00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:43.960
to learning the new language.

655
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:46.520
I just, as soon as you said it, I was like,

656
00:40:46.520 --> 00:40:47.640
whoa, that's really good.

657
00:40:47.640 --> 00:40:50.280
Man, that could really preach, truly.

658
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.560
But like, we're learning a new love language, we are.

659
00:40:53.560 --> 00:40:55.360
And the Father's love language,

660
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.880
in His mark of your view, is beautiful daughter,

661
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:02.680
it's beloved, dear one, all that kind of language.

662
00:41:02.680 --> 00:41:05.880
That is how He speaks over us.

663
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:09.000
The Bible declares that He dances over us,

664
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.200
rejoices over us with singing.

665
00:41:12.640 --> 00:41:15.800
That is the God that we serve.

666
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.480
Thank you for sharing, Sarah.

667
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:19.320
I'm probably gonna switch up breakouts though,

668
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:21.720
now that I know that you all, it's not a bad thing,

669
00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:25.040
but that way you get someone new in your group there too.

670
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:27.720
All right, who else wants to share?

671
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:30.560
You can go ahead.

672
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:38.040
Selena, you can go.

673
00:41:46.200 --> 00:41:47.600
Selena, do you wanna share?

674
00:41:52.120 --> 00:41:54.920
Okay, does someone else have anything you wanna share

675
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:57.040
before we start going on?

676
00:41:57.040 --> 00:41:57.880
Okay. I'll share.

677
00:41:58.040 --> 00:41:58.880
Oh, sorry.

678
00:42:00.200 --> 00:42:01.680
I saw Shannon put her hand up

679
00:42:01.680 --> 00:42:04.960
and I thought it was Shannon talking.

680
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.600
Shannon can go and then Michelle.

681
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.200
All right.

682
00:42:10.200 --> 00:42:14.160
So I actually posted this in the Facebook group this week,

683
00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:17.160
but the big thing for me, I feel like for me,

684
00:42:17.160 --> 00:42:20.120
like the perfectionism and the control go hand in hand

685
00:42:20.120 --> 00:42:23.240
and kind of have similar roots.

686
00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:27.280
But like for me, I really identified

687
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.920
with having a really hard time

688
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.880
letting people serve me and help me.

689
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.320
And like I'm 44 and I've never been married.

690
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:40.120
So I'm just used to doing it all myself all the time.

691
00:42:40.120 --> 00:42:43.320
And so I thought that that was just the main reason.

692
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:48.320
And then I was finishing the week five content this week.

693
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.720
And there was a chapter that talked about

694
00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:54.920
like things from birth, like being a mistake or whatever.

695
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.920
And my parents were 19 when I was born.

696
00:42:58.920 --> 00:42:59.760
They weren't married.

697
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.680
My mom had to drop out of college, move back home.

698
00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:04.680
Her parents wanted to give me up for adoption.

699
00:43:04.680 --> 00:43:06.520
Like it was this whole tough thing.

700
00:43:06.520 --> 00:43:08.760
And so like she chose to keep me

701
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:10.600
and my parents ended up getting married,

702
00:43:10.600 --> 00:43:12.800
but it was always really rough growing up

703
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:14.480
because neither of them could go to college

704
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.400
and finances were always tight.

705
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.040
And so I know that I was chosen and wanted,

706
00:43:20.040 --> 00:43:22.600
but as I was going through that content,

707
00:43:22.600 --> 00:43:23.920
like for the first time,

708
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:25.800
God really connected the dots with me

709
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:30.800
that that control comes from not wanting

710
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:32.920
to feel like a burden to other people

711
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.000
and not wanting to make people be put out

712
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:36.960
in order to help me.

713
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:40.800
And that went back to the circumstances of my birth

714
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:43.360
and just knowing that I was chosen and wanted,

715
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.760
but I still felt like a burden

716
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:48.680
because of the inconvenience that it caused my mom

717
00:43:48.680 --> 00:43:51.440
or so God's just really been like,

718
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:52.920
taking me back to that this week

719
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:56.360
and speaking to me about that.

720
00:43:58.040 --> 00:44:00.640
So that's been pretty huge for me this week,

721
00:44:00.640 --> 00:44:03.280
but something else connected to that.

722
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:05.680
At one point I had just had a rough year,

723
00:44:05.680 --> 00:44:08.200
like with my health, I had a planned surgery

724
00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:11.000
and then like two unexpected emergency surgeries

725
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:12.440
within a couple months of each other.

726
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:14.920
And so I needed a lot of help.

727
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.640
And at one point my aunt was like,

728
00:44:17.640 --> 00:44:19.240
you're being a blessing blocker.

729
00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:20.880
And I was like, what?

730
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.200
And she's like, you are robbing someone

731
00:44:23.200 --> 00:44:25.800
of the joy and opportunity of being a blessing to you

732
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:27.120
by not accepting help.

733
00:44:27.120 --> 00:44:29.800
And I was like, oh my gosh,

734
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:31.200
it just hit me really hard.

735
00:44:31.200 --> 00:44:33.320
Like, dang, she's so right.

736
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:35.360
I'm like, I need to work on this.

737
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:38.680
So yeah, so it's just been, that's really,

738
00:44:38.680 --> 00:44:40.160
God has already been highlighting

739
00:44:40.160 --> 00:44:41.800
that to me this week anyway.

740
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:43.680
And so, yeah.

741
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:45.240
So good.

742
00:44:45.240 --> 00:44:49.200
All right, I'm gonna issue you all an activation

743
00:44:49.200 --> 00:44:50.240
for this week.

744
00:44:50.240 --> 00:44:51.320
This is when it's coming in.

745
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:52.640
I gave it to the group this morning too,

746
00:44:52.640 --> 00:44:53.880
and it just came up.

747
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:56.200
God totally brought it up again tonight.

748
00:44:56.200 --> 00:44:57.920
All right, this is the assignment.

749
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.200
this week and in the weeks ahead so this don't just stop this week just keep going okay so we

00:45:52.160 --> 00:45:59.280
and just be surprised like i mean seriously be open for surprises because it's fun and for those

758

of you that are dreading it right now i want you to know like god's gonna really teach you how fun

759
00:46:04.160 --> 00:46:14.320
it can be to let people help you seriously um we had um a lady post in phase three tonight after

760
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:19.120
last night's prophesy your year god there was a word that was given to her that she was supposed

761
00:46:19.120 --> 00:46:24.880
to help someone of the opposite sex and she she even said this morning i thought how am i gonna do

762
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:30.640
that i don't even have that many guys in my life she was she lives in new york walking down the

763
00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:39.040
street she finds a wallet guess what it's for a guy and she's like in the old days i would have

764
00:46:39.040 --> 00:46:44.240
taken the money out and thrown it away you're in new york you just keep going and uh she said but

765
00:46:44.240 --> 00:46:49.280
god nudged her to look at the actual address to look it up and it wasn't that far from her work

766
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:55.600
y'all this is such a cool story so she says that um you know she decides to get a friend and go

767
00:46:55.600 --> 00:47:00.480
there to take this wallet because here's this word that god had given her just last night

768
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.480
and she's got this wallet and they go and at first it doesn't seem like it's gonna work out

769
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:10.880
nobody's answering the door and then they go and knock on another door and god kind of just

770
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:16.960
whispered to her go back down and knock again basically there's a more there's a longer story

771
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:23.200
but go back down and knock again so she does a woman answers kind of hesitant and then she tells

772
00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:30.000
the woman why she's there and why she's asking for this man and the woman like starts like

773
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:36.720
excitingly screaming oh my god oh my god oh my god he's going on a trip this week and he needs his id

774
00:47:36.720 --> 00:47:44.480
and his cards and had that wallet not gotten returned to him y'all he might not have been

775
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:48.560
able to go on that trip or he would have had to really go through the ringer to get that stuff

776
00:47:48.560 --> 00:47:54.960
super quick this week so i just want to share that because here you know god was using her

777
00:47:55.680 --> 00:48:01.280
to bless someone a man ended up being someone she would never probably have met and she didn't even

778
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:07.360
meet him tonight she met the person you know that he lives with but it's it's like god is giving us

779
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:13.360
these opportunities for something new and it's adventure and sometimes it comes packaged like

780
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:18.000
that do you see what i'm saying but even for you all it might it might just be something simple

781
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:23.680
that god will nudge you to do all right so there's that part and then i want to circle back

782
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:32.240
to something when shannon was talking when she was talking about the inconvenience part

783
00:48:32.240 --> 00:48:38.560
and being feeling like a burden over the years and really battling that i heard the word identity

784
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:46.640
and then i heard the word marked and marked in the sense that the enemy tried to mark you

785
00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:53.840
as a burden but that is not god's declaration over you you are a blessing

786
00:48:55.680 --> 00:49:02.720
you're a blessing shannon i encourage you and anyone else that this is resonating with to look

787
00:49:02.720 --> 00:49:11.040
yourself in the mirror and say shannon you're a blessing and sometimes that might be really hard

788
00:49:11.040 --> 00:49:16.240
and other times it might feel really easy even if you cry i want you to press through that and

789
00:49:16.240 --> 00:49:22.640
keep telling yourself that that is who you are that is who you are you know and even just

790
00:49:22.640 --> 00:49:28.480
meditating on who has god called you to be who does he say you are you know god in the bible

791
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:34.640
all the time he changed people's names why why do you think he did that because if their name

792
00:49:34.640 --> 00:49:43.680
did not truly define them based on his identity for them they needed a new name a name that would

793
00:49:43.680 --> 00:49:49.520
align with the identity and purpose of heaven for their lives so some of you all are going to get

794
00:49:49.520 --> 00:49:57.040
some new names in the spirit these next several weeks as well you don't inconvenience god shannon

795
00:49:57.040 --> 00:49:59.920
or anyone god told me to say that directly to you

796
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.800
you. God is saying you don't inconvenience me either. You

797
00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:06.480
didn't inconvenience your parents, and you're not

798
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:10.880
inconveniencing God. So I'm saying that to all of you. He

799
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:14.480
loves us. He wants to hear from us. We're not an inconvenience

800
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:19.640
to him. Okay. All right. Awesome. Michelle, do you still

801
00:50:19.640 --> 00:50:20.320
want to share?

802
00:50:30.160 --> 00:50:31.760
I don't have to, you can go on.

803
00:50:33.680 --> 00:50:38.640
Okay. All right, I can keep going. All right. So as we

804
00:50:38.640 --> 00:50:43.200
start to track, I want to touch on something real quick. Because

805
00:50:43.200 --> 00:50:45.840
I've noticed that some of the ladies that have even been in

806
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:48.880
here for a little while, I'm not even sure if you guys know

807
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:51.320
about the Jesus Cares Board yet. So I felt like it was really

808
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:54.040
important to touch on that tonight. It will be in your

809
00:50:54.040 --> 00:50:56.840
course materials. If you have not heard about it yet, you

810
00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:59.520
will, but I'm going to kind of talk to you briefly about it

811
00:50:59.520 --> 00:51:03.880
tonight. Number one, a Jesus Cares Board is not a vision

812
00:51:03.880 --> 00:51:06.840
board. Okay, I love vision boards. Y'all, the more you get

813
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:10.720
to know me, I do vision boards every year. But your Jesus Cares

814
00:51:10.720 --> 00:51:15.440
Board is not a vision board. It's totally separate. Okay, I'm

815
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.840
going to show you a picture, a couple pictures, and I'm going

816
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:24.200
to talk you through it. If I can find my right. I have too many

817
00:51:24.200 --> 00:51:28.280
things open. Here we go. Y'all are going to see yourself.

818
00:51:29.240 --> 00:51:33.040
I have the double screen open right now. All right, here we

819
00:51:33.040 --> 00:51:39.840
go. All right. So this is an example. And I love this one

820
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.520
because she did not have a board at the time. And one of the

821
00:51:44.520 --> 00:51:47.440
things I want to emphasize is even if you don't have a poster

822
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.280
board, if you don't have a bulletin board, you can use a

823
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.280
wall in your house, she used a cupboard, it works just fine,

824
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:57.920
and it will have the same effectiveness. Okay. But here's

825
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.480
what she did. It's about casting your cares on Jesus. So what are

826
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.920
your worries, your concerns, your cares, things that burden

827
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:09.480
you, and they weigh you down. I mean, Shannon, it could even be

828
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:11.880
that thing that you just shared about believing that you're

829
00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.720
burning, you could say, I'm not a burden anymore, I'm casting

830
00:52:14.720 --> 00:52:18.160
that care on the Lord. Again, just giving you all examples. It

831
00:52:18.160 --> 00:52:20.400
could be someone in your family that's not saved. I mean,

832
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:24.960
there's still your car needs fixed, whatever your need is,

833
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:29.480
okay. And you cast those cares, it's a literal activation

834
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:34.000
saying, I am not going to carry this on myself anymore. And I

835
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:39.360
cannot do it on my own. Jesus, I need you to supernaturally take

836
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:42.200
care of this thing. And as you're doing it, you're putting

837
00:52:42.200 --> 00:52:46.600
that thing on your board. And you're saying, I trust you to

838
00:52:46.600 --> 00:52:50.360
supernaturally work in that situation. Okay. And then you go

839
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.840
back and you pray over them, but you don't take them back off the

840
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:55.720
board. You keep them on the board. The only time you take

841
00:52:55.720 --> 00:52:58.960
them off the board, you all guess when, when they're

842
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.840
answered, when they're answered, do you all see what she did up

843
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:05.480
here? She has the answer prayers. And this is all stuff

844
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:08.600
that God answered just during her time and heartwork you all

845
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:12.640
from the time she started heartwork to the time she

846
00:53:12.640 --> 00:53:16.760
finished, God had already answered in six of those things.

847
00:53:17.680 --> 00:53:21.000
Okay. Might not be the same for everybody, but I just want you

848
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.960
guys to know it is possible. Okay. Let me show you another

849
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:29.720
one. Here's one, she has a board. Okay. So she's got a

850
00:53:29.720 --> 00:53:32.160
board. She's a little bit more organized. It doesn't matter how

851
00:53:32.160 --> 00:53:35.640
you guys do it. You can do it with different colors, different

852
00:53:35.640 --> 00:53:39.280
shapes, whatever. And then I'm going to show you one more. Come

853
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:44.800
on, keep going. Yeah, that one's here's the one I want to show

854
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:48.240
you. All right. And it doesn't mean that I like have any

855
00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:50.640
preference role. Everybody did great. But these were the ones

856
00:53:50.640 --> 00:53:54.320
that kind of just real quick stood out to me today. She's got

857
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:57.720
some different colors, but she also chose some images, you

858
00:53:57.720 --> 00:54:01.840
know, so this person in particular was struggling with

859
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:06.120
feeling very, very low hope when they came into the program. And

860
00:54:06.120 --> 00:54:10.480
so she was casting her care regarding her hope and that

861
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:14.400
area. So God's been working in all that stuff. Okay. So, and

862
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:17.520
this is just one of those push pin ones. So you can do it like

863
00:54:17.520 --> 00:54:22.080
that. All right. Does anyone have questions about the Jesus

864
00:54:22.080 --> 00:54:30.080
cares board? Everyone good. All right. So what I want is as you

865
00:54:30.080 --> 00:54:33.000
start to work on them, and you get your Jesus cares board

866
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.080
going, it doesn't even have to be all the way finished. If you

867
00:54:36.080 --> 00:54:38.040
want to wait and get it finished. Great, that's fine.

868
00:54:38.240 --> 00:54:43.040
But I want you to post them in the group. I want you to show

869
00:54:43.040 --> 00:54:46.400
us what are your cares again, this is about being in community

870
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:50.360
and connecting and going through this together. You can

871
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:53.840
do the board in phase two as well. But typically we have

872
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:59.440
everybody share their board in phase one, just right now. Okay.

873
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.920
Um, we do, we do other stuff in, in the other phases, but we will still, like,

874
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:08.460
I still have my Jesus cares board and the Holy spirit has been talking

875
00:55:08.460 --> 00:55:12.040
to me about updating mine, just being honest, I've been super busy.

876
00:55:12.040 --> 00:55:15.060
You all, but I need to go back and revisit that board.

877
00:55:15.060 --> 00:55:18.360
And I need to, I need to take some things that have been answered.

878
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:22.300
You guys, my board still has stuff about my spirit mate on it.

879
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:26.020
Well, I've had my spirit mate a year and four months and we're

880
00:55:26.020 --> 00:55:27.180
officially married that long.

881
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:29.020
So I can go and take those things off.

882
00:55:29.020 --> 00:55:29.260
Right.

883
00:55:29.260 --> 00:55:33.020
And I can update that because I have some other areas that we need God to work.

884
00:55:33.060 --> 00:55:36.260
We're, we're trying to get pregnant and all of the things.

885
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:37.980
So I can put that on our board.

886
00:55:38.020 --> 00:55:38.340
Right.

887
00:55:38.700 --> 00:55:41.580
So that's how you use that board over time.

888
00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:43.220
You let it become a part.

889
00:55:43.260 --> 00:55:46.620
Don't, don't get so busy like me that you let it get so far behind.

890
00:55:46.780 --> 00:55:47.140
Okay.

891
00:55:47.620 --> 00:55:48.220
All right.

892
00:55:48.900 --> 00:55:51.620
Last thing I want to talk about, I just want to make sure you guys

893
00:55:51.740 --> 00:55:53.420
heard about the Jesus cares board.

894
00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:54.500
There's a couple of things.

895
00:55:55.340 --> 00:56:01.460
I wanted to bring up tonight when we were talking earlier about the letting

896
00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:05.180
people help us, one of the things that came up earlier, I almost forgot to

897
00:56:05.180 --> 00:56:11.660
mention it in today's session, why don't we want to depend on other people?

898
00:56:12.860 --> 00:56:19.500
Why don't we, anyone have a guess there's no wrong answer.

899
00:56:20.140 --> 00:56:22.540
We're prideful and hurts our pride.

900
00:56:23.660 --> 00:56:24.380
It does.

901
00:56:24.620 --> 00:56:25.180
It does.

902
00:56:25.540 --> 00:56:33.540
But even under that, if you, you kind of like started saying it, so go ahead.

903
00:56:33.580 --> 00:56:34.380
Who was going to say something?

904
00:56:34.940 --> 00:56:35.500
Sorry, it was me.

905
00:56:35.500 --> 00:56:41.180
I was going to say maybe being let down in the past, disappointed, all of those

906
00:56:41.180 --> 00:56:41.780
work together.

907
00:56:41.780 --> 00:56:46.260
So do you know that pride is often that surfaces because underneath it,

908
00:56:46.260 --> 00:56:49.620
we're hurt a lot of the time, ego and pride, they kind of go together.

909
00:56:49.620 --> 00:56:54.500
Well, typically ego and pride, they get puffed up a lot when we get hurt.

910
00:56:54.900 --> 00:56:59.420
And so we build this like kind of tough exterior because we're defending

911
00:56:59.420 --> 00:57:00.820
that stuff underneath of there.

912
00:57:01.020 --> 00:57:04.140
And there are other reasons for pride and ego, but that is one of the reasons

913
00:57:04.140 --> 00:57:08.340
people really end up struggling with a lot of that stuff, but yeah, we don't

914
00:57:08.340 --> 00:57:09.660
want to be disappointed.

915
00:57:10.020 --> 00:57:11.340
You all it is.

916
00:57:11.340 --> 00:57:15.900
It's so hard when we get let down by other people, when we put our hearts

917
00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:21.860
into something and we take a risk and they make mistakes or it doesn't go the

918
00:57:21.860 --> 00:57:23.100
way we thought it would.

919
00:57:23.140 --> 00:57:23.540
Right.

920
00:57:23.540 --> 00:57:25.380
Then this isn't just romantic relationships.

921
00:57:25.380 --> 00:57:26.460
This is friendships.

922
00:57:26.460 --> 00:57:27.620
This is family.

923
00:57:27.820 --> 00:57:28.780
This is community.

924
00:57:28.780 --> 00:57:29.660
This is church.

925
00:57:29.660 --> 00:57:31.940
I mean, this is life, right?

926
00:57:32.740 --> 00:57:33.180
All right.

927
00:57:33.180 --> 00:57:40.020
So with that being said, I'm going to go ahead and move on to the next

928
00:57:40.060 --> 00:57:44.780
The Lord doesn't want you to be afraid of disappointment.

929
00:57:46.100 --> 00:57:49.060
Fear is false evidence appearing real.

930
00:57:49.780 --> 00:57:50.540
That's what it is.

931
00:57:51.820 --> 00:57:53.460
Fear is fueled by lies.

932
00:57:54.420 --> 00:58:00.380
So if we are leaning into fear, the Bible also declares that fear has to do with

933
00:58:00.380 --> 00:58:00.900
torment.

934
00:58:03.060 --> 00:58:04.700
I'm sorry, I'm choking a little bit.

935
00:58:04.980 --> 00:58:07.860
And then, um, fear has to do with torment.

936
00:58:07.860 --> 00:58:12.820
And then also the other flip side of that is it says that he who has been made

937
00:58:12.820 --> 00:58:16.100
perfect in love doesn't fear.

938
00:58:16.940 --> 00:58:18.940
So it goes back to what we started with tonight.

939
00:58:19.460 --> 00:58:27.340
Like, are we rooted in the love of the father in such a way that it, and I'm not

940
00:58:27.340 --> 00:58:32.540
saying yes, you all, we're all going to go through stuff every day, but when the

941
00:58:32.620 --> 00:58:38.500
enemy tries to bring, bring fear to the door, we're like, it's almost like love is

942
00:58:38.500 --> 00:58:40.180
a force field, right?

943
00:58:40.820 --> 00:58:41.860
Love is a force field.

944
00:58:42.060 --> 00:58:44.060
We acknowledge what's happening.

945
00:58:44.740 --> 00:58:47.900
And we, we know that sometimes there's times where we have to shift.

946
00:58:49.260 --> 00:58:51.540
We talked quite a bit earlier today about boundaries.

947
00:58:51.540 --> 00:58:57.220
Sometimes we have to shift boundaries with people because their, their love is, it's

948
00:58:57.220 --> 00:58:58.100
not just a risk.

949
00:58:58.100 --> 00:59:00.980
It's actually hurting us their version of love.

950
00:59:01.980 --> 00:59:05.540
What I'm talking about right now is people that are toxic you all, and they don't have

951
00:59:05.540 --> 00:59:10.140
an actual understanding of love and their version of love is coming from a lot of

952
00:59:10.140 --> 00:59:13.380
counterfeit identities and places that are not healed and whole.

953
00:59:14.140 --> 00:59:19.620
And that's why they call it love, but it's not, they just, they don't understand that

954
00:59:19.620 --> 00:59:21.700
it's not okay.

955
00:59:21.900 --> 00:59:23.460
That's what mental illness is.

956
00:59:24.540 --> 00:59:25.020
Okay.

957
00:59:26.500 --> 00:59:26.860
All right.

958
00:59:26.860 --> 00:59:27.180
All right.

959
00:59:27.180 --> 00:59:33.140
So on that note, um, I want to talk to you guys a little bit about unguarded hearts and

960
00:59:33.140 --> 00:59:35.300
what does it mean to have an unguarded heart?

961
00:59:35.300 --> 00:59:36.980
I want to read something to you real quick.

962
00:59:36.980 --> 00:59:40.180
I'm not going to do this for long, but I felt like this was important.

963
00:59:41.580 --> 00:59:42.500
It says, think about it.

964
00:59:42.900 --> 00:59:44.260
We have passwords for everything.

965
00:59:44.260 --> 00:59:48.140
Our phones, computers, our bank accounts, my husband, even this is Jackie talking.

966
00:59:48.620 --> 00:59:50.900
My husband even has passwords for his passwords.

967
00:59:50.940 --> 00:59:51.620
Don't ask.

968
00:59:52.220 --> 00:59:53.940
It's like a spy movie around here.

969
00:59:53.940 --> 00:59:56.980
When you want to log into anything, you need to use your thumbprint, scan your

970
00:59:56.980 --> 00:59:57.380
retina.

971
00:59:57.380 --> 01:00:00.060
I mean, God, I'm just trying to watch Netflix.

972
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.580
I love that part.

973
01:00:02.580 --> 01:00:06.980
We have locks on our doors and cars, even our locker at the gym.

974
01:00:06.980 --> 01:00:09.220
But seriously, why?

975
01:00:09.220 --> 01:00:14.340
Why are we so protective of all of these material possessions?

976
01:00:14.340 --> 01:00:18.460
Because we know the value of these things.

977
01:00:18.460 --> 01:00:24.980
When you see the value of something, you understand what boundaries or safeguards you need to

978
01:00:24.980 --> 01:00:27.300
put in place to protect it.

979
01:00:27.300 --> 01:00:33.460
We do not show the same respect for our hearts.

980
01:00:33.460 --> 01:00:37.560
So what boundaries do you guys need to put in place with some people?

981
01:00:37.560 --> 01:00:39.460
Maybe even yourself.

982
01:00:39.460 --> 01:00:42.340
Maybe you need to shift a behavior.

983
01:00:42.340 --> 01:00:45.340
And again, it's not just about stopping a behavior, ladies.

984
01:00:45.340 --> 01:00:46.340
It's not.

985
01:00:46.340 --> 01:00:51.980
It's about God transforming us on the inside in such a way that it causes our external

986
01:00:51.980 --> 01:00:54.160
behaviors to change.

987
01:00:54.160 --> 01:00:56.380
We have to invite them into those areas, though.

988
01:00:56.380 --> 01:01:04.240
So some of you, you know, you grew up not learning the value of your own being, who

989
01:01:04.240 --> 01:01:06.520
you are.

990
01:01:06.520 --> 01:01:10.080
Some of you, I'm even just hearing the Holy Spirit say, like, you were, like, picked on

991
01:01:10.080 --> 01:01:16.220
even in your own families for your laugh, for your personality.

992
01:01:16.220 --> 01:01:19.600
Maybe you asked a lot of questions.

993
01:01:19.600 --> 01:01:24.320
You know, I don't know what it was, but some of you, like, that was kind of your life growing

994
01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:25.320
up.

995
01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:32.980
But God is speaking over you tonight, and he's saying, that was not my heart for you.

996
01:01:32.980 --> 01:01:39.380
Like, he, his heart broke when your heart was breaking.

997
01:01:39.380 --> 01:01:44.140
And even the times when you didn't acknowledge it to yourself, because it was too hard to

998
01:01:44.140 --> 01:01:51.780
acknowledge that someone who should love you was actually making fun of you and putting

999
01:01:51.780 --> 01:01:55.520
you down.

1000
01:01:55.520 --> 01:01:57.480
Hurt people hurt people, y'all.

1001
01:01:57.480 --> 01:01:58.480
They do.

1002
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:01.280
Okay, I'm going to keep going.

1003
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:05.560
The quality of your family can set you up for success or disaster in this life, and

1004
01:02:05.560 --> 01:02:08.360
many have experienced the latter.

1005
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:13.360
The majority of people that read this book will have never been taught the value of themselves

1006
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:14.780
or their hearts.

1007
01:02:14.780 --> 01:02:20.560
And to be fair, in most cases, your family didn't know the value of your heart or their

1008
01:02:20.560 --> 01:02:23.500
own either.

1009
01:02:23.500 --> 01:02:30.880
They can't teach you what they don't know themselves.

1010
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:34.980
You all, for real, let that sink in tonight.

1011
01:02:34.980 --> 01:02:40.220
I'm not making, I'm not saying make excuses for people that are toxic and misbehave and

1012
01:02:40.220 --> 01:02:41.220
treat you badly.

1013
01:02:41.220 --> 01:02:48.420
But what I am saying is that God wants, wants to release into us compassion and empathy

1014
01:02:48.420 --> 01:02:53.640
and forgiveness and help us release it to other people.

1015
01:02:53.640 --> 01:02:58.040
So what you're going to talk about in your breakout, though, are these areas, these tender

1016
01:02:58.040 --> 01:03:01.400
areas where, yeah, I'm going to ask you to get vulnerable.

1017
01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:03.200
I am.

1018
01:03:03.200 --> 01:03:08.800
Was there anything where people made fun of you, whether it was in your family and school

1019
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:14.760
growing up, you know, areas where you didn't get to actually be yourself?

1020
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:18.320
So maybe people didn't make fun of you, but something was going on that it just caused

1021
01:03:19.220 --> 01:03:22.740
you to shrink down in some way and not be yourself.

1022
01:03:22.740 --> 01:03:27.220
Maybe you were shy and you were made fun of for being shy and it wasn't okay to be shy.

1023
01:03:27.220 --> 01:03:28.900
Well, that's kind of the same thing.

1024
01:03:28.900 --> 01:03:30.940
It's just the opposite side of it.

1025
01:03:30.940 --> 01:03:38.540
So whatever it was, a part of who you are was, you were told it wasn't okay to be that.

1026
01:03:38.540 --> 01:03:42.020
So that's what I want you to talk about because then we're going to come back and we're going

1027
01:03:42.020 --> 01:03:46.460
to do some coaching on that and we're going to bring some healing into this place tonight.

1028
01:03:46.600 --> 01:03:47.600
All right.

1029
01:03:47.600 --> 01:03:48.600
Sound good?

1030
01:03:48.600 --> 01:03:51.200
I hope so, because we're going to go there.

1031
01:03:51.200 --> 01:03:52.200
All right.

1032
01:03:52.200 --> 01:03:56.120
I'm going to recreate these rooms.

1033
01:03:56.120 --> 01:03:57.400
I'm excited for this, you guys.

1034
01:03:57.400 --> 01:03:58.400
I hope you are.

1035
01:03:58.400 --> 01:03:59.400
All right.

1036
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:00.400
Here you go.

1037
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:01.400
I'm praying for you.

1038
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:02.400
We love you.

1039
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:03.400
Hi there.

1040
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:13.080
Let's see, Andrea, on Facebook and the website, yeah, you want to, the portal is where the

1041
01:04:13.080 --> 01:04:19.700
class coursework is at, but the Facebook stuff has, you know, some replays and you

1042
01:04:19.700 --> 01:04:24.100
want to post your kind of your homework or thoughts in the Facebook groups.

1043
01:04:24.100 --> 01:04:25.100
All right.

1044
01:04:25.100 --> 01:04:26.100
Let's see.

1045
01:04:26.100 --> 01:04:28.100
Oh, I see.

1046
01:04:28.100 --> 01:04:29.980
Where can you find the zoom link for the call?

1047
01:04:29.980 --> 01:04:34.580
You can find the zoom link for every one of these live sessions, ladies in your Jackie

1048
01:04:34.580 --> 01:04:40.140
Dorman.com website portal, as well as the guides tab in the Facebook page.

1049
01:04:40.140 --> 01:04:44.440
Kendra, thank you for helping her trying to scroll and see what else is going on in

1050
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:45.440
here tonight.

1051
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:46.440
All right.

1052
01:04:46.440 --> 01:04:47.440
So good.

1053
01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:48.440
Hi, Jennifer.

1054
01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:49.440
Oh, shoot.

1055
01:04:49.440 --> 01:04:50.440
Someone's asking for help.

1056
01:04:50.440 --> 01:04:51.440
Let me see what she might be in there by herself.

1057
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:52.440
Yep.

1058
01:04:52.440 --> 01:04:53.440
She's in there by herself.

1059
01:04:53.440 --> 01:04:54.440
All right.

1060
01:04:54.440 --> 01:04:55.440
All right.

1061
01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:56.440
All right.

1062
01:04:56.440 --> 01:04:57.440
All right.

1063
01:04:57.440 --> 01:04:58.440
All right.

1064
01:04:58.440 --> 01:04:59.440
All right.

1065
01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:00.440
All right.

1066
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.800
yourself. Hold on one second. I'm just talking and praying

1067
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:01.440
All right.

1068
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:02.440
All right.

1069
01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:03.440
All right.

1070
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:13.240
away. Does everyone else have a partner? All right, cool. Good

1071
01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:03.440


1072
01:05:13.240 --> 01:05:20.360
to see you. Hi there. Oh, hello. This is really good. It's good

1073
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:25.880
stuff. I'm just popping on but it's so good. You're like, good

1074
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:28.880
wave. Keep going. It is the Lord. I'm telling you what I've

1075
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:33.720
been battling sickness all day. And so sometimes I just, I'm

1076
01:05:33.720 --> 01:05:36.000
like, okay, Lord, like I literally was like, you got to

1077
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:39.480
do this tonight because I didn't know if I'd be able to talk. So

1078
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:43.160
thank you for that. So I'm curious. Is there anything you

1079
01:05:43.160 --> 01:05:45.680
feel it's okay? If not, is there anything like stirred up in you

1080
01:05:45.680 --> 01:05:48.240
that you feel like you want to share? You want me to keep

1081
01:05:48.240 --> 01:05:52.800
going? Keep going? Yeah. Okay. All right. So one of the things

1082
01:05:52.800 --> 01:05:58.280
that on that topic of, you know, when our family doesn't, their

1083
01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.960
own hearts aren't healed. And so therefore they do things and

1084
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:06.560
they perpetuate behaviors and really sin cycles. And that is

1085
01:06:06.560 --> 01:06:09.680
what creates the breakdown in the family. So one of the things

1086
01:06:09.680 --> 01:06:13.600
that God's been really talking to me about is, um, redeeming

1087
01:06:13.600 --> 01:06:16.600
the timeline and that God sent me to be a kinsman redeemer in

1088
01:06:16.600 --> 01:06:20.080
my family. And that, you know, years ago that used to feel so

1089
01:06:20.080 --> 01:06:22.360
heavy. I don't know about anybody else, but man, when I

1090
01:06:22.360 --> 01:06:26.960
heard that from the Lord many years ago, that, um, I was going

1091
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.360
to be a kinsman redeemer and God was going to create, you

1092
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:31.960
know, use me to create bridges and all these kinds of things.

1093
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:35.480
I remember just feeling like, oh my gosh, like how, what, how am

1094
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:38.200
I going to do that? I mean, my whole family was rejecting me

1095
01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:41.080
because I was standing up and asking them to talk about the

1096
01:06:41.080 --> 01:06:46.200
hard stuff. And so, um, all these years later, you all, and

1097
01:06:46.200 --> 01:06:49.600
for those of you that I've heard some of my journey, um, my mom

1098
01:06:49.600 --> 01:06:53.600
passed away, uh, in may of 2022, my dad has actually been in and

1099
01:06:53.600 --> 01:06:56.720
out of the hospital. I have like literally no relationship with

1100
01:06:56.720 --> 01:07:00.720
him at all. And just been praying into that even, but what

1101
01:07:00.720 --> 01:07:04.560
I want to share is that while there's been all this breakdown

1102
01:07:04.560 --> 01:07:08.880
in family because of brokenness and the toxicity, God continues

1103
01:07:08.880 --> 01:07:13.600
to stir my heart. To minister to my family and that, you know,

1104
01:07:13.600 --> 01:07:16.080
God, isn't going to ask everybody to do that. So please

1105
01:07:16.080 --> 01:07:18.880
don't, you know, people hear this and feel like, oh my gosh,

1106
01:07:18.880 --> 01:07:21.960
I'm panicked. God will lead you. If that's the way he's leading

1107
01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:25.600
you. Um, I will tell you that I believe years ago, God anointed

1108
01:07:25.600 --> 01:07:29.080
me to do this. Um, and I didn't know what it was going to look

1109
01:07:29.080 --> 01:07:31.760
like or how it was going to look, but I'll tell you this to

1110
01:07:31.760 --> 01:07:35.520
give you guys some hope. And not that I'm saying my, my brother

1111
01:07:35.520 --> 01:07:37.920
going through a divorce is something to be hopeful about,

1112
01:07:37.920 --> 01:07:41.720
but my oldest brother, he was the one who actually, I mean,

1113
01:07:41.720 --> 01:07:44.600
both my brothers sexually abused my sister and I, but he was the

1114
01:07:44.600 --> 01:07:50.120
main perpetrator if you will. And, uh, and so for years, I

1115
01:07:50.120 --> 01:07:52.040
didn't want him around me. I didn't want to talk to him and

1116
01:07:52.040 --> 01:07:55.880
it still can be very tough, but God continues to give me the

1117
01:07:55.880 --> 01:08:00.960
grace. And, um, as he was going through his divorce, God will

1118
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:03.840
just nudge me from time to time to message him and check on him

1119
01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:09.480
to call him. And, uh, it's just, God has been opening doors and

1120
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:12.800
doing things. And, you know, one of the things that I saw a

1121
01:08:12.800 --> 01:08:17.120
similarity in my brother, excuse me, to how I was when I got

1122
01:08:17.120 --> 01:08:22.319
married before was in his marriage, he was trapped. He

1123
01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:26.000
like, he started shrinking. He started not being like his

1124
01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:30.080
vibrant self. And so when we had our most recent chat, I just

1125
01:08:30.080 --> 01:08:32.960
started speaking into him about what do you want to do? Like

1126
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.359
you can do anything. Like, what, where do you want to travel?

1127
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:38.000
What do you want to go see? And, and just trying to speak some

1128
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:40.840
life into him and y'all, he, I messaged him the other day

1129
01:08:40.840 --> 01:08:44.399
because it was his birthday to check on him. And he's about to

1130
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:48.240
take some dance classes, like, you know, ballroom dancing with

1131
01:08:48.240 --> 01:08:51.880
the stars kind of stuff. And I just, that blessed my heart so

1132
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:55.240
much, as much as the, you know, the enemy used him to bring a

1133
01:08:55.240 --> 01:08:59.600
lot of pain into my life. I'm happy that he is going to go

1134
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:04.200
live his life and hopefully be happy and thrive. Because you

1135
01:09:04.200 --> 01:09:11.000
know, what I know is that along the way someone hurt him too. I

1136
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:14.840
do. I know that. And even if it wasn't abuse or whatever, like

1137
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:19.120
along the path, you know, any kind of destruction, it breeds

1138
01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:21.560
destruction, it breeds destruction, but praise God.

1139
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:26.359
When Jesus came, he came to make a way for us. He came to redeem

1140
01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:30.000
all that stuff. And so no matter what our past has looked like,

1141
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:32.960
no matter what our family line has looked like, God can

1142
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:37.399
literally turn all of that around by one person's obedience.

1143
01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:40.319
Jackie was talking on, I think the most recent supernatural

1144
01:09:40.319 --> 01:09:42.160
Saturday, and she was talking about the great cloud of

1145
01:09:42.160 --> 01:09:45.200
witnesses. And even again, it touched on it last night.

1146
01:09:45.200 --> 01:09:48.200
Somebody gave me a word on the prophesy your year. And she kind

1147
01:09:48.200 --> 01:09:52.359
of went into how, even for me, it had to do with the great

1148
01:09:52.359 --> 01:09:55.080
cloud of witnesses. And I was just like, whoa, because she

1149
01:09:55.080 --> 01:09:57.600
didn't even know that that really spoke to me on that

1150
01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.920
Saturday call. And so I want to encourage.

1151
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.560
some of you guys, like for some of you, you feel alone.

1152
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:07.400
You feel like you're fighting this battle by yourself,

1153
01:10:07.400 --> 01:10:10.000
but the person that you loved

1154
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:12.720
that went on to be with the Lord already, guess what?

1155
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:14.720
They're a part of those great cloud of witnesses

1156
01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:18.000
if they were saved and they're up there interceding for you

1157
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:20.800
and cheering us on literally,

1158
01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:24.400
they wanna see his kingdom come in us and through us too.

1159
01:10:24.400 --> 01:10:27.120
And so just sitting and thinking on that,

1160
01:10:27.120 --> 01:10:30.280
I was thinking this morning about my mom

1161
01:10:30.280 --> 01:10:34.900
and as hard as life was on this earth with her at times,

1162
01:10:34.900 --> 01:10:37.280
I feel like God continues to speak to me

1163
01:10:37.280 --> 01:10:42.280
about how he is now using my mom to usher in things

1164
01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:46.380
that things that she could never talk to me

1165
01:10:46.380 --> 01:10:47.860
about here on earth,

1166
01:10:47.860 --> 01:10:49.880
that she's trying to give me information.

1167
01:10:49.880 --> 01:10:53.040
Y'all, I've had dreams in the last couple of months,

1168
01:10:53.040 --> 01:10:54.720
multiple times, my mom in them

1169
01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:58.080
and she warns me or shows me something in the dream.

1170
01:10:58.080 --> 01:10:59.840
And so I just want you to know again,

1171
01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:02.560
God can show up however he wants to bring redemption,

1172
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:07.080
however he wants, if we will trust him and lean into him.

1173
01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:10.040
And man, it's just, it's glorious.

1174
01:11:10.040 --> 01:11:11.120
It really, really is.

1175
01:11:11.120 --> 01:11:12.200
And I can't always say,

1176
01:11:12.200 --> 01:11:13.880
I always know what every dream means,

1177
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:16.400
but as I lean into them and ask him,

1178
01:11:16.400 --> 01:11:19.040
just like I try to teach you all,

1179
01:11:19.040 --> 01:11:19.920
it's not always easy,

1180
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:23.680
but we do our best to hear what the father is saying.

1181
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:27.000
And man, he wants redemption.

1182
01:11:27.000 --> 01:11:28.280
He wants healing in families.

1183
01:11:28.280 --> 01:11:32.040
He wants life to flow into us and flow out of us.

1184
01:11:32.040 --> 01:11:34.760
And I see some of the ladies in the Facebook group too.

1185
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:37.280
I just want you to know, I see you.

1186
01:11:37.280 --> 01:11:40.200
Sophia says, my mom always made negative comments

1187
01:11:40.200 --> 01:11:41.040
about my looks.

1188
01:11:41.040 --> 01:11:43.580
She was embarrassed to have a daughter that looked like me.

1189
01:11:43.580 --> 01:11:45.200
I'm just gonna pause there and just say,

1190
01:11:45.200 --> 01:11:46.800
I'm sorry for that.

1191
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:48.040
I know I'm not your mom,

1192
01:11:48.040 --> 01:11:50.640
but I feel on behalf of your mother,

1193
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.520
who maybe at times couldn't even apologize herself.

1194
01:11:54.360 --> 01:11:55.840
I haven't even read the whole thing.

1195
01:11:55.840 --> 01:11:56.680
Oh, wait, you say here,

1196
01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:59.080
my whole life until she passed away,

1197
01:11:59.080 --> 01:12:00.280
she said those things to me.

1198
01:12:00.280 --> 01:12:01.120
So I don't know,

1199
01:12:01.120 --> 01:12:03.240
maybe God just has me standing in the gap

1200
01:12:03.240 --> 01:12:06.680
on behalf of your mom tonight to speak over you, Sophia,

1201
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:09.320
to say, I'm sorry.

1202
01:12:09.320 --> 01:12:12.360
I'm hearing the Lord say, baby girl, I'm sorry.

1203
01:12:12.360 --> 01:12:13.940
And so I just want to speak that over you,

1204
01:12:13.940 --> 01:12:16.580
that God is wanting to heal that relationship

1205
01:12:16.580 --> 01:12:17.420
with your mother.

1206
01:12:17.420 --> 01:12:18.560
Even though she's already in heaven,

1207
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:21.600
God can come in and touch that relationship.

1208
01:12:21.600 --> 01:12:22.800
He can heal that.

1209
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:24.800
Just like, I mean, I had no clue, Sophia.

1210
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:25.700
I didn't even see your thing.

1211
01:12:25.700 --> 01:12:27.960
And here I was going on and on about God redeeming

1212
01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:29.400
this relationship with my mom,

1213
01:12:29.400 --> 01:12:30.760
and she's already in heaven,

1214
01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:33.520
and the ways that he's doing that through dreams

1215
01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:36.440
and visions and things he's been speaking to me.

1216
01:12:36.440 --> 01:12:39.260
So I believe God had your number, Sophia.

1217
01:12:39.260 --> 01:12:41.620
And he knew that you needed to hear that tonight.

1218
01:12:41.620 --> 01:12:42.760
You are beautiful.

1219
01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:44.260
You're lovely.

1220
01:12:44.260 --> 01:12:47.500
And man, they were blessed to have you as a daughter.

1221
01:12:47.500 --> 01:12:49.540
So I just come against every curse

1222
01:12:49.540 --> 01:12:51.480
that's ever been spoken out against you

1223
01:12:51.480 --> 01:12:53.920
through the words and the mouth of anyone else,

1224
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.680
whether that was your mom or your family or friends.

1225
01:12:56.680 --> 01:13:00.260
And I just speak love and blessing and life to you,

1226
01:13:00.260 --> 01:13:02.040
that when you walk into the room,

1227
01:13:02.040 --> 01:13:06.260
you radiate his glory wherever you go.

1228
01:13:06.260 --> 01:13:07.320
Yes, Lord.

1229
01:13:08.360 --> 01:13:09.200
Yes, Lord.

1230
01:13:09.200 --> 01:13:11.440
Bless her, Lord, and help her to receive all of that

1231
01:13:11.440 --> 01:13:13.240
and help her to hear what your spirit's saying

1232
01:13:13.240 --> 01:13:16.040
louder than all the voices in the anime in the days ahead.

1233
01:13:16.040 --> 01:13:17.320
Hello.

1234
01:13:17.320 --> 01:13:18.480
Welcome back.

1235
01:13:19.480 --> 01:13:21.160
Every time, y'all.

1236
01:13:21.160 --> 01:13:22.400
Y'all are beautiful.

1237
01:13:22.400 --> 01:13:23.240
I love it.

1238
01:13:23.240 --> 01:13:26.520
I love, love, love seeing my ladies.

1239
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:27.520
I do.

1240
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:29.680
It's my favorite part of the week.

1241
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:30.520
All right.

1242
01:13:31.600 --> 01:13:32.880
Make sure I didn't miss any questions.

1243
01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:34.040
Who is ready?

1244
01:13:34.040 --> 01:13:37.880
Who's ready to share and open up and be so vulnerable?

1245
01:13:37.880 --> 01:13:39.400
You can do it.

1246
01:13:39.400 --> 01:13:40.760
And preferably, let me do this.

1247
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:42.940
Somebody who hasn't shared already,

1248
01:13:42.940 --> 01:13:46.400
because some of you need to just, yeah, jump in.

1249
01:13:46.400 --> 01:13:47.440
Meredith, go ahead.

1250
01:13:49.480 --> 01:13:51.600
Okay, I'll go,

1251
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:52.520
because I usually don't talk.

1252
01:13:52.520 --> 01:13:53.920
I listen a lot.

1253
01:13:55.280 --> 01:13:58.080
You know, really, as I've been going through the last-

1254
01:14:02.360 --> 01:14:03.680
Oh, it's because she's moving.

1255
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:04.520
I think she was walking.

1256
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:07.360
I was telling the ladies in the group that,

1257
01:14:07.360 --> 01:14:10.920
and I thought I'd ask for forgiveness

1258
01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:12.200
for all the things that I needed to ask

1259
01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:13.360
for the people who had hurt me,

1260
01:14:13.360 --> 01:14:15.240
the people who had wronged me.

1261
01:14:15.240 --> 01:14:17.520
I started, you know, with the recent people

1262
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:18.720
and kind of working my way back,

1263
01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:20.800
praying through each of those people.

1264
01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:23.400
And then I know you had said, go even deeper.

1265
01:14:23.400 --> 01:14:25.040
You know, who else?

1266
01:14:25.040 --> 01:14:25.880
Is there something?

1267
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:27.880
And is there someone else that has,

1268
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:29.200
thinking about from childhood

1269
01:14:29.200 --> 01:14:32.320
and some childhood trauma came back up

1270
01:14:32.320 --> 01:14:34.400
and things from, that's how it shaped me

1271
01:14:34.400 --> 01:14:36.160
into who I am now,

1272
01:14:36.160 --> 01:14:39.600
based on how I was perceived as a child,

1273
01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:41.360
being made fun of and what have you.

1274
01:14:41.360 --> 01:14:46.360
And so what I did is I prayed for them as my child self

1275
01:14:47.360 --> 01:14:51.040
and then as their child self,

1276
01:14:51.040 --> 01:14:52.560
and then them as adults,

1277
01:14:52.560 --> 01:14:53.600
because I still know them,

1278
01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.880
still interact with them in some way, shape or form now,

1279
01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:58.040
just because of Facebook and what have you,

1280
01:14:58.040 --> 01:14:59.440
you still connect with them.

1281
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.920
So, you know, they probably have no idea how they shaped or affected me.

1282
01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:11.480
Um, but now I still want to be the light going out regardless of how, but to have

1283
01:15:11.480 --> 01:15:17.820
that connection, um, that they really did alter the way that I had friendships.

1284
01:15:17.880 --> 01:15:20.360
Um, I want a tribe, I want girlfriends.

1285
01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:24.640
I've never really ever had them been in a sorority, been in all the things, did

1286
01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:29.820
all the things to try to get it, but I've only ever had connections with a few.

1287
01:15:29.820 --> 01:15:34.860
So it's, it's definitely been, um, quality over quantity.

1288
01:15:34.860 --> 01:15:37.500
I have a ton of connections involved in the community.

1289
01:15:37.500 --> 01:15:38.500
Know everybody.

1290
01:15:38.500 --> 01:15:45.420
My job makes me know everyone, but I wasn't, um, and I'm not just the relationship

1291
01:15:45.420 --> 01:15:47.560
to the next levels of where I want to go now.

1292
01:15:47.660 --> 01:15:50.340
So that's, that's where I'm seeing now for things.

1293
01:15:51.580 --> 01:15:52.320
This is so good.

1294
01:15:52.320 --> 01:15:53.660
Thank you so much for sharing.

1295
01:15:53.660 --> 01:15:56.180
I'm glad you jumped in and that you shared with us.

1296
01:15:56.180 --> 01:15:56.820
I love it.

1297
01:15:57.420 --> 01:15:58.380
Hey, you all.

1298
01:15:59.100 --> 01:15:59.580
I forgot.

1299
01:15:59.580 --> 01:16:03.140
I even said that to her about forgive those people when you

1300
01:16:03.140 --> 01:16:06.020
were kids at the kids, the kid level.

1301
01:16:06.660 --> 01:16:09.700
And then, yeah, you can forgive them as adults, especially if you still know

1302
01:16:09.700 --> 01:16:15.340
them, but the reality is, is that sometimes what we forget, we come in

1303
01:16:15.340 --> 01:16:18.620
and I'm not saying it's bad, but we come in as our adult selves and we're

1304
01:16:18.620 --> 01:16:20.260
like, I'm trying to forgive them.

1305
01:16:20.260 --> 01:16:22.500
I'm trying to forgive them, but really.

1306
01:16:23.100 --> 01:16:30.140
We need to go in and recognize the little Bethany or the little Leah or the little

1307
01:16:30.140 --> 01:16:36.140
Michelle who was, you know, on the playground or left out of the game or

1308
01:16:36.140 --> 01:16:41.860
picked on by her siblings or whatever, whatever it is in that little, little

1309
01:16:41.860 --> 01:16:48.180
us is the one that's hurting and needs some love and sometimes even pausing

1310
01:16:48.180 --> 01:16:54.180
us ourselves in saying, man, God, show me how I can love the inner, a little

1311
01:16:54.180 --> 01:16:56.780
Bethany got that got hurt in this situation.

1312
01:16:56.780 --> 01:16:58.340
How can I love her tonight?

1313
01:16:59.700 --> 01:17:04.380
How can I, how can I let you minister to her in that place tonight?

1314
01:17:05.180 --> 01:17:05.900
So good.

1315
01:17:05.900 --> 01:17:07.900
I love that you leaned into that and went after that.

1316
01:17:08.140 --> 01:17:08.660
I'm serious.

1317
01:17:08.660 --> 01:17:14.140
It's going to alter now and in a good way, you show up in the world.

1318
01:17:14.340 --> 01:17:18.300
One of the other things I started, I wrote down and I love that you're

1319
01:17:18.300 --> 01:17:21.740
connected in the community and you've got some solid friendships, but I heard

1320
01:17:21.740 --> 01:17:26.020
the Lord say, tell her to start thanking me for friendships, start thanking him

1321
01:17:26.020 --> 01:17:29.260
for new friendships, because I think some new stuff and not that you have to get

1322
01:17:29.260 --> 01:17:31.260
rid of or let go of necessarily.

1323
01:17:31.260 --> 01:17:34.900
I mean, he'll show you if you do, but I've been getting rid of, yes.

1324
01:17:34.940 --> 01:17:37.900
And I've had to get rid of, and I have been thanking him very

1325
01:17:37.900 --> 01:17:39.220
much so for the new people.

1326
01:17:39.540 --> 01:17:40.780
So you're spot on with that.

1327
01:17:40.820 --> 01:17:41.060
Yep.

1328
01:17:41.060 --> 01:17:41.580
Yes.

1329
01:17:41.860 --> 01:17:42.140
Yeah.

1330
01:17:42.180 --> 01:17:46.260
And so ladies, the reason this, this is so, so powerful when we do this, when

1331
01:17:46.260 --> 01:17:49.620
we start thanking him before we have it, it's kind of like that song

1332
01:17:49.620 --> 01:17:50.820
praise before the breakthrough.

1333
01:17:50.820 --> 01:17:54.100
I don't know if you guys have ever heard of that, but like we're praising him

1334
01:17:54.100 --> 01:17:58.580
and we're thanking him long before we actually have it here.

1335
01:17:59.220 --> 01:18:03.420
Um, you guys, some of you will, will have heard me on super faith Friday.

1336
01:18:03.420 --> 01:18:04.980
I've shared this story so many times.

1337
01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:09.820
God led me to start saying, I am a bride, Bethany, Bethany state.

1338
01:18:09.820 --> 01:18:10.780
I was stanko at the time.

1339
01:18:10.780 --> 01:18:13.540
Bethany Stanko, you are a bride walking around my apartment.

1340
01:18:13.580 --> 01:18:16.860
The person underneath me probably wondered who I was

1341
01:18:16.860 --> 01:18:18.340
talking to sometimes you all.

1342
01:18:18.900 --> 01:18:25.260
I talked to myself a lot during that time in, and it changed me.

1343
01:18:25.340 --> 01:18:29.980
It did because it was like, I needed my, I needed to be my own cheerleader.

1344
01:18:31.900 --> 01:18:32.540
I always won.

1345
01:18:32.540 --> 01:18:36.900
I always felt like, man, why, why, why is nobody else cheering me on?

1346
01:18:36.900 --> 01:18:38.900
I'm sure I'm fighting for people.

1347
01:18:39.100 --> 01:18:40.380
I'm doing the Lord's work.

1348
01:18:40.380 --> 01:18:41.220
I'm healing people.

1349
01:18:41.220 --> 01:18:43.900
I'm being, and like, where's my cheering party?

1350
01:18:44.580 --> 01:18:47.620
Well, God was like, you're here cheering party.

1351
01:18:48.180 --> 01:18:50.820
And when, and it didn't mean that he didn't want to give me friends.

1352
01:18:50.820 --> 01:18:52.900
You all, I have a lot of friends too.

1353
01:18:53.460 --> 01:18:56.340
My best friend lived like 40 minutes away, but she had a family.

1354
01:18:56.340 --> 01:18:57.220
She was busy.

1355
01:18:58.140 --> 01:18:58.900
And so it was me.

1356
01:18:59.460 --> 01:19:05.140
And especially during COVID you all, I was literally by myself more

1357
01:19:05.180 --> 01:19:07.300
than I've ever been by myself.

1358
01:19:07.780 --> 01:19:11.260
And I learned how to really embrace my own presence.

1359
01:19:12.020 --> 01:19:14.780
Some of you, that's going to be your challenge in the next few weeks.

1360
01:19:14.780 --> 01:19:20.740
Like it's one thing to love yourself, but do you like yourself?

1361
01:19:22.540 --> 01:19:28.180
Like, do you like being in your own presence without the TV on without

1362
01:19:28.180 --> 01:19:32.060
something, you know, and I'm not trying to get into the, should you drink?

1363
01:19:32.060 --> 01:19:32.540
Should you not?

1364
01:19:32.540 --> 01:19:38.940
But I'm just saying some of us like the food, the glasses of wine, the TV, all

1365
01:19:38.940 --> 01:19:46.700
the things that we fill the space with, because we just really struggle to be

1366
01:19:46.700 --> 01:19:52.180
in our own presence and what does that feel like, because so many of us

1367
01:19:52.180 --> 01:19:57.300
disassociated as young kids and we separated from our own bodies.

1368
01:19:57.300 --> 01:19:59.900
And so we, God is trying to bring that back.

1369
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:08.440
together so that you can exist in a more healed and whole state and enjoy your own presence.

1370
01:20:08.440 --> 01:20:12.640
And I know some of you are like, yeah, I'm good. That I'm good. I like my presence, but

1371
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:17.000
I think some of you, the Lord's going to unpack this a little bit more in the next few weeks.

1372
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:22.340
I really feel there's something on this. I prayed it earlier tonight. And so that tells

1373
01:20:22.340 --> 01:20:27.960
me this is a second time it's coming up. God wants to bring convergence. So basically it

1374
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:33.880
doesn't mean that you meant for yourself to like, almost like some of you years ago,

1375
01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:40.860
you had out of body experiences. Okay. Because the pain was so, so big and you could not,

1376
01:20:40.860 --> 01:20:45.500
you couldn't withstand it. And so the only way that your brain could, could handle it

1377
01:20:45.500 --> 01:20:51.260
was to create a little bit of separation, not calling you crazy. Okay. So don't think

1378
01:20:51.260 --> 01:20:56.620
I'm saying that, but basically you, we, we separate. And so God's bringing, bringing

1379
01:20:56.620 --> 01:21:01.620
that back together. Ladies. He is some of you that you're going to really experience

1380
01:21:01.620 --> 01:21:05.260
transformation because you're going to start to really know what it's like to be in your

1381
01:21:05.260 --> 01:21:13.580
own skin and like it and not feel like, Oh man, like this is, I just feel uncomfortable

1382
01:21:13.580 --> 01:21:18.900
in my own skin all the time. I know I'm speaking to somebody. So God's healing something and

1383
01:21:18.900 --> 01:21:22.740
he's going to come in and he's going to just bless it. He's going to bless it from the

1384
01:21:22.740 --> 01:21:27.500
inside out. The healing is going to come and it's going to change the whole way you, you

1385
01:21:27.500 --> 01:21:32.780
just exist in, even in your own, in your own room. Some of you all, I saw a girl. Okay.

1386
01:21:32.780 --> 01:21:36.660
Thank you, Lord. I saw this young lady. I used to lead her and it just made me smile

1387
01:21:36.660 --> 01:21:41.300
so much, but she was doing this video. She was like, some of you be like this. And she

1388
01:21:41.300 --> 01:21:46.220
was singing like crazy with her curling iron and worship song before church on Sunday.

1389
01:21:46.220 --> 01:21:50.540
But like some of y'all need to have some dance parties, some singing parties, like

1390
01:21:50.540 --> 01:21:54.620
letting the little girl come out. I think we even talked about this a little bit last

1391
01:21:54.620 --> 01:21:59.820
week or two weeks ago, but like, what does that look like to let her out? Let her go

1392
01:21:59.820 --> 01:22:03.580
wild a little bit. Don't get too crazy. I'm not saying alcohol and things. I'm saying

1393
01:22:03.580 --> 01:22:07.940
just the little fun things that, you know, what did it, what did, and some of you, even

1394
01:22:07.940 --> 01:22:11.760
as little kids, maybe that wasn't your thing. Maybe yours was more outside and adventure

1395
01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:16.520
and climbing trees. So I'm not, I'm not saying it has to always look a certain way. It's

1396
01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:23.600
more about what's on the inside. That's been pen up and it's been pushed down and it's

1397
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:29.960
been suppressed for so long. And the Lord's like, let her come out, let her come out because

1398
01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:37.400
I like that girl. Cause guess what? You all, a lot of that is what he created and he marked

1399
01:22:37.400 --> 01:22:41.960
that. So earlier when I was saying how the enemy tried to Mark you with something else,

1400
01:22:41.960 --> 01:22:47.640
that's not you. God's like, yep, that's what I made. That's what I want to see. I want

1401
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:53.240
to see her laugh and I want to see her celebrating. I want to see her having fun because I delight

1402
01:22:53.240 --> 01:22:59.800
in her. Yes. He delights in us when we're sad. Yes. Line dancing, karaoke. Yeah. Y'all,

1403
01:22:59.800 --> 01:23:03.560
I used to sing all the time and I would look over and people would be just watching. I

1404
01:23:03.560 --> 01:23:10.040
would just crack up because I just, I just love, I love the Lord and I really do love

1405
01:23:10.040 --> 01:23:15.040
my life. Even when it was hard, like he just taught me how to, to somehow like lean into

1406
01:23:15.040 --> 01:23:20.760
him in the midst of it. And maybe that's not you and that's okay, but your own version

1407
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:29.640
of that. Okay. All right. So I have time for one more, I think. Let's go Laura. And then

1408
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:33.480
maybe Maria. So hang on Maria. Don't go anywhere. All right.

1409
01:23:35.480 --> 01:23:44.440
Um, so I was telling the person that I was talking to about how I, um, was made fun of

1410
01:23:44.440 --> 01:23:50.040
a lot. I, and I want, I know I've shared this before, but growing up, I was made fun of,

1411
01:23:50.040 --> 01:23:56.120
fun of a lot, especially when I was in middle school. Um, because that's when I started to

1412
01:23:56.920 --> 01:24:09.880
develop more, you know? Um, and, um, because, uh, my bust size is large. Um, a lot of the

1413
01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:17.400
girls that I knew in middle school would say that I was stuffing my bra when I'm like,

1414
01:24:17.400 --> 01:24:23.560
dude, I'm like, these are real. If I could get rid of them, I would, but they're real.

1415
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:32.200
You know, they're not fake. Um, and because of that, I always, um, even now I'm very

1416
01:24:32.200 --> 01:24:39.800
self-conscious about the types of shirts that I wear, you know, the type of clothing that I wear.

1417
01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:48.360
I don't like tight shirts. I don't like shirts that show any cleavage at all. I'm very cautious

1418
01:24:48.360 --> 01:24:59.000
about stuff like that. Um, and so that really, and when, um, uh, Meredith was talking about

1419
01:24:59.000 --> 01:24:59.800
forgiving.

1420
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.000
as your younger self and forgiving them as your younger

1421
01:25:05.040 --> 01:25:08.760
self and then forgiving them now.

1422
01:25:08.760 --> 01:25:12.340
I don't, I don't remember their names.

1423
01:25:13.760 --> 01:25:14.600
I don't know.

1424
01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:16.680
I don't remember who they are.

1425
01:25:16.680 --> 01:25:19.320
I don't even talk to half of them anymore.

1426
01:25:19.320 --> 01:25:22.000
And that's, yeah, that's okay.

1427
01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:27.000
But I mean, one of them, well, I don't think she was

1428
01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:31.840
in the group is I'm still friends with today.

1429
01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:38.000
We've been friends for a long time, but I, I've always

1430
01:25:38.240 --> 01:25:42.960
wanted to talk to this friend about, you know,

1431
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:46.560
how she treated me in middle school, but I, you know,

1432
01:25:46.560 --> 01:25:51.440
was haven't gotten up the courage to say,

1433
01:25:51.440 --> 01:25:56.440
this is how I felt, you know, and I just want you to know,

1434
01:25:56.440 --> 01:25:57.600
I forgive you.

1435
01:25:58.800 --> 01:25:59.640
Yeah.

1436
01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:03.760
Maybe, maybe just pray about if the Lord wants you to,

1437
01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:06.040
and maybe, maybe don't take it right to the,

1438
01:26:06.040 --> 01:26:08.440
I forgive you until you see kind of like,

1439
01:26:08.440 --> 01:26:11.960
is she able to have a healthy conversation with you?

1440
01:26:11.960 --> 01:26:13.640
You know, so ladies just keep in mind,

1441
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:16.720
like sometimes the forgiveness is writing a letter

1442
01:26:16.720 --> 01:26:18.220
and not giving it to them.

1443
01:26:18.220 --> 01:26:21.580
Sometimes it is having a conversation in person.

1444
01:26:21.580 --> 01:26:24.320
So really pray and discern and ask the Lord,

1445
01:26:25.320 --> 01:26:27.680
does he want you to talk to her about this?

1446
01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:29.880
Is this something he, is she healthy enough

1447
01:26:29.880 --> 01:26:32.400
to have that conversation?

1448
01:26:32.400 --> 01:26:35.640
And sometimes you can just try with like some small stuff

1449
01:26:36.920 --> 01:26:40.520
and see how that goes before maybe going

1450
01:26:40.520 --> 01:26:41.520
into the full conversation.

1451
01:26:41.520 --> 01:26:44.000
And again, we don't have to live afraid you all,

1452
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:48.240
but there's a level of walking in like this,

1453
01:26:48.240 --> 01:26:52.640
recognizing who we're with and are they a safe person

1454
01:26:52.640 --> 01:26:55.120
to have this kind of conversation with?

1455
01:26:55.120 --> 01:26:58.760
Because what can happen is if we approach a conversation

1456
01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:01.360
like that and they're not healthy,

1457
01:27:01.360 --> 01:27:03.320
they may turn on us and retaliate

1458
01:27:03.320 --> 01:27:04.280
and might make it even bigger.

1459
01:27:04.280 --> 01:27:08.160
Now I will say there are times where the Lord will lead you

1460
01:27:08.160 --> 01:27:12.480
to have that conversation because maybe that friend

1461
01:27:12.480 --> 01:27:16.280
isn't just really a healthy friend for us, right?

1462
01:27:16.280 --> 01:27:19.680
And we'll discover that through those conversations.

1463
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:21.720
So that's why it's real important just to ask the Lord

1464
01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:24.160
to show you, is that a direction you should go?

1465
01:27:24.160 --> 01:27:25.880
And then go in that if he says yes,

1466
01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:28.520
and if he says, hey, no, or not yet,

1467
01:27:28.520 --> 01:27:30.760
sometimes he'll just say not yet

1468
01:27:30.760 --> 01:27:31.800
because maybe they're just,

1469
01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:34.440
they're not in a place to receive it yet.

1470
01:27:34.440 --> 01:27:36.280
The other thing I was gonna say is

1471
01:27:38.400 --> 01:27:43.240
my youngest spiritual daughter is also big busted

1472
01:27:43.240 --> 01:27:47.440
and she as well got made fun of by her biological mom

1473
01:27:47.440 --> 01:27:48.280
and other kids.

1474
01:27:49.040 --> 01:27:52.640
In my own way, I don't have that situation, but she does,

1475
01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:54.920
but I've watched her suffer from it.

1476
01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:57.080
So I want you to know that that isn't

1477
01:27:57.080 --> 01:27:58.800
what God intended for you.

1478
01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:02.960
And I believe he will wanna heal that and help you.

1479
01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:04.440
It doesn't mean you have to necessarily

1480
01:28:04.440 --> 01:28:05.720
wear certain types of clothes,

1481
01:28:05.720 --> 01:28:09.280
but what does it mean to feel more comfortable

1482
01:28:09.280 --> 01:28:12.480
wearing pretty things and not feeling like

1483
01:28:12.480 --> 01:28:14.320
you have to hide your body?

1484
01:28:14.320 --> 01:28:16.360
But of course, just so you all know, ladies,

1485
01:28:16.920 --> 01:28:18.520
I am pro-modesty.

1486
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:21.960
I am, I don't think you gotta wear turtlenecks all the time

1487
01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.000
or anything like that, but I do believe in modesty.

1488
01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:27.000
And I don't think we have to show off our bodies

1489
01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:29.280
to attract a man.

1490
01:28:29.280 --> 01:28:30.960
Way back in the day I did,

1491
01:28:30.960 --> 01:28:34.600
but that was when I wasn't healed and I know better now.

1492
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:39.160
But that doesn't mean that if you have something that goes,

1493
01:28:39.160 --> 01:28:40.520
hopefully not all the way down,

1494
01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:41.760
but it's something a little lower,

1495
01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:45.040
that doesn't mean that gives a man or anyone else

1496
01:28:45.040 --> 01:28:49.240
the right to say hurtful and mean and crude things, okay?

1497
01:28:50.120 --> 01:28:53.280
Those are signs that people aren't healthy

1498
01:28:53.280 --> 01:28:55.080
if they're doing those things.

1499
01:28:55.080 --> 01:28:56.520
All right, let's see.

1500
01:28:56.520 --> 01:28:59.760
Maria, I think if you wanna share, you can share.

1501
01:28:59.760 --> 01:29:00.760
We're right at 9.30.

1502
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:02.040
I don't wanna give you,

1503
01:29:02.040 --> 01:29:05.040
I don't want you to not have an opportunity if you want one.

1504
01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:10.600
You know, I really would like to just get out of it,

1505
01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:14.400
but I think I'm gonna push myself to share.

1506
01:29:16.040 --> 01:29:18.080
I'll try to be quick though.

1507
01:29:18.080 --> 01:29:20.000
It's not really well-processed

1508
01:29:20.000 --> 01:29:22.000
because I didn't make this connection

1509
01:29:22.000 --> 01:29:24.720
until after I got out of my group.

1510
01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:29.240
The last one, the question of what causes us

1511
01:29:29.240 --> 01:29:32.320
to shrink down and not be ourself.

1512
01:29:32.320 --> 01:29:35.080
And I didn't initially know the answer to that question.

1513
01:29:35.080 --> 01:29:37.600
And I just kind of processed with my partner that,

1514
01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:42.320
you know, I grew up the oldest of seven kids

1515
01:29:42.920 --> 01:29:47.840
and my mom really expected perfection of me

1516
01:29:47.840 --> 01:29:49.920
and would make comments like,

1517
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:52.360
oh, Maria is my perfect child.

1518
01:29:52.360 --> 01:29:55.040
And I just, I had a really high standard

1519
01:29:55.040 --> 01:29:56.080
to live to all the time.

1520
01:29:56.080 --> 01:29:58.400
And I did a really good job of it.

1521
01:29:59.640 --> 01:30:00.480
And so.

1522
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.360
I thought, well, the real me just never came out.

1523
01:30:04.360 --> 01:30:09.360
But I was asking the Lord after I left the chat

1524
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:13.720
and I was like, I don't like being seen

1525
01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.040
because I feel uncomfortable.

1526
01:30:15.040 --> 01:30:17.000
Why do I feel uncomfortable?

1527
01:30:17.000 --> 01:30:19.360
Oh, because they might see that I'm not perfect.

1528
01:30:19.360 --> 01:30:23.560
They might see that I need help and that I can't do it all.

1529
01:30:23.560 --> 01:30:25.860
And that tied back to the previous question

1530
01:30:25.860 --> 01:30:27.400
because that's something that the Lord's been

1531
01:30:27.400 --> 01:30:29.980
really speaking to me the last two or three weeks

1532
01:30:29.980 --> 01:30:33.100
is opening up and asking people for help,

1533
01:30:33.100 --> 01:30:36.620
being willing to say like, I'm struggling in this area.

1534
01:30:36.620 --> 01:30:38.620
I don't have it all together and I need help.

1535
01:30:38.620 --> 01:30:40.940
That's really been showing up in my business.

1536
01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:45.800
And it's been really, really hard for me to ask for help

1537
01:30:45.800 --> 01:30:47.500
because I feel like I'm a burden,

1538
01:30:47.500 --> 01:30:49.580
like I don't wanna bother people.

1539
01:30:51.020 --> 01:30:52.620
And so, yeah, I just thought it was cool

1540
01:30:52.620 --> 01:30:55.200
how it all kind of came together.

1541
01:30:55.200 --> 01:30:59.160
And also I didn't want to share

1542
01:30:59.160 --> 01:31:01.160
because I didn't feel like I had processed it yet.

1543
01:31:01.160 --> 01:31:02.440
And I was like, this is gonna be messy.

1544
01:31:02.440 --> 01:31:04.240
And then I was like, oh, that's a good opportunity

1545
01:31:04.240 --> 01:31:07.560
to practice not having it all together.

1546
01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:08.820
Yes, yes.

1547
01:31:08.820 --> 01:31:10.200
And I'm so glad you did.

1548
01:31:11.320 --> 01:31:13.160
Here's the thing too.

1549
01:31:13.160 --> 01:31:15.240
Ladies, anytime again, back on this burden,

1550
01:31:15.240 --> 01:31:17.940
did you notice they came right full circle?

1551
01:31:17.940 --> 01:31:20.800
The burden thing that Shannon was talking about?

1552
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:24.080
You also said you don't wanna bother people.

1553
01:31:25.080 --> 01:31:29.080
You know, sometimes if we are taught

1554
01:31:29.080 --> 01:31:31.920
or someone says, this is my perfect little child,

1555
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:36.080
when we see the other kids misbehaving potentially,

1556
01:31:36.080 --> 01:31:38.040
I don't know what your other siblings were doing,

1557
01:31:38.040 --> 01:31:38.880
but I'm just kind of going

1558
01:31:38.880 --> 01:31:40.600
with what's coming up in my spirit.

1559
01:31:42.380 --> 01:31:44.240
Those aren't perfect.

1560
01:31:44.240 --> 01:31:45.580
Those kids aren't perfect.

1561
01:31:45.580 --> 01:31:47.280
And so they're treated differently.

1562
01:31:47.280 --> 01:31:51.740
And so then we become afraid to some degree

1563
01:31:51.820 --> 01:31:54.780
that if we then aren't perfect,

1564
01:31:54.780 --> 01:31:57.900
will mom not love us as much anymore?

1565
01:31:57.900 --> 01:31:59.980
Or whoever it is, right?

1566
01:31:59.980 --> 01:32:03.580
So there's this level of when we have things,

1567
01:32:03.580 --> 01:32:05.400
again, just to kind of circle back,

1568
01:32:05.400 --> 01:32:07.620
where we are afraid we're gonna bother someone

1569
01:32:07.620 --> 01:32:09.380
or we're gonna burden them.

1570
01:32:09.380 --> 01:32:11.540
Normally you wanna look under the lid of that.

1571
01:32:11.540 --> 01:32:14.140
Ask the Lord, like what's really going on there?

1572
01:32:14.140 --> 01:32:16.780
And I like how you unpack that with just,

1573
01:32:17.780 --> 01:32:19.860
you know, the different things that you were thinking.

1574
01:32:20.300 --> 01:32:25.020
And that's ladies, again, asking really good questions.

1575
01:32:25.020 --> 01:32:26.300
If you get offended easily,

1576
01:32:26.300 --> 01:32:27.420
I think someone said that earlier,

1577
01:32:27.420 --> 01:32:29.500
you get offended easily, ask the Lord,

1578
01:32:29.500 --> 01:32:31.340
why am I so offended?

1579
01:32:31.340 --> 01:32:32.980
What's going on there?

1580
01:32:32.980 --> 01:32:35.340
Like, is it just because this person did this

1581
01:32:35.340 --> 01:32:39.460
or did this trigger something else in my life?

1582
01:32:39.460 --> 01:32:41.980
Or are they reminding me of them?

1583
01:32:41.980 --> 01:32:44.140
Like, are they reminding me of myself?

1584
01:32:44.140 --> 01:32:45.820
You know, you just, whatever it is,

1585
01:32:45.820 --> 01:32:48.220
you just ask the Lord to help you unpack it.

1586
01:32:48.220 --> 01:32:49.840
And the more that you unpack it with him,

1587
01:32:50.680 --> 01:32:52.400
the more freedom you're going to get

1588
01:32:52.400 --> 01:32:55.760
as you then ask him to come in and heal those areas

1589
01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:58.800
and then replace those lies with the truth, okay?

1590
01:32:58.800 --> 01:33:01.040
So it's that whole revealing for healing cycle.

1591
01:33:01.040 --> 01:33:02.920
If you're not in that part of the course yet,

1592
01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:06.680
there's a worksheet, revealing for healing cycle.

1593
01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:08.800
If you guys utilize that,

1594
01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:11.320
it will be a tool you can use literally

1595
01:33:11.320 --> 01:33:12.760
for the rest of your life.

1596
01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:14.520
In the beginning, you'll need to use the paper

1597
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:16.640
to remind yourself how to go through the process.

1598
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:19.120
And you'll just look at it and do it again and do it again.

1599
01:33:19.120 --> 01:33:20.640
I really recommend it.

1600
01:33:20.640 --> 01:33:24.220
And then eventually you'll learn to do it without the paper.

1601
01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:27.640
You understand, everyone?

1602
01:33:27.640 --> 01:33:29.880
And the more that you do that,

1603
01:33:30.800 --> 01:33:33.280
you'll be able to not only help yourself

1604
01:33:33.280 --> 01:33:34.800
like with the Lord's help, of course,

1605
01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:38.920
but to heal that it'll create ripple effects in your family.

1606
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:42.360
Sylvia says, for me, perfection bring the spirit of rescuer

1607
01:33:42.360 --> 01:33:45.440
of the imperfect persons or went to the other extreme

1608
01:33:45.440 --> 01:33:47.320
and become prideful and judgmental thinking

1609
01:33:47.320 --> 01:33:49.120
and seeing them as inferior persons

1610
01:33:49.120 --> 01:33:51.380
because they were not perfect.

1611
01:33:51.380 --> 01:33:54.420
Yes, Sylvia, yes.

1612
01:33:55.720 --> 01:34:00.720
And even now, oh Lord, I'm gonna tell on myself.

1613
01:34:02.480 --> 01:34:07.480
Sometimes when people are sharing, not in this group,

1614
01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:11.640
I would say more like close people

1615
01:34:11.640 --> 01:34:13.680
in ministry in this church.

1616
01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:17.400
When I first came in, I have a lot of experience

1617
01:34:17.400 --> 01:34:19.240
and I didn't mean to have pride, you all,

1618
01:34:19.240 --> 01:34:21.760
but I was getting so frustrated

1619
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:23.680
because these people have been in this church.

1620
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:26.000
Some of them, they're literally their entire lives,

1621
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.160
40, 50 years, and they're like baby Christians.

1622
01:34:29.160 --> 01:34:32.420
And I know that probably sounds so like I'm so great,

1623
01:34:32.420 --> 01:34:36.480
but my entire life, I've never experienced that.

1624
01:34:36.480 --> 01:34:39.360
Growing up, before I knew the Lord,

1625
01:34:39.360 --> 01:34:40.560
my parents and my grandparents,

1626
01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:41.580
I went to all these different churches.

1627
01:34:41.620 --> 01:34:45.700
And then when I got saved, I just was on fire.

1628
01:34:45.700 --> 01:34:48.840
I just loved the Lord and I went after him.

1629
01:34:48.840 --> 01:34:52.700
And so it's hard for me to understand or relate sometimes

1630
01:34:53.780 --> 01:34:56.300
to people that have been in church their entire lives.

1631
01:34:56.300 --> 01:34:59.260
And it's just like, they just have no hunger.

1632
01:34:59.260 --> 01:35:00.660
It doesn't mean they don't.

1633
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:05.440
They don't love the Lord. I can't, you know, God says we shouldn't judge another's heart.

1634
01:35:05.440 --> 01:35:12.000
We can judge their fruit, but not their heart. But what I know is like, it just has been hard.

1635
01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:16.960
It's been hard for me. I've had to really adjust and, and ask the Lord to forgive me for being

1636
01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:21.920
prideful at times. And, and just being like, why don't, why do they do it this way? Why don't they,

1637
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:26.400
you know, just, and I use that as kind of a lighthearted example, but it can be,

1638
01:35:26.400 --> 01:35:32.320
it can be in our, again, in our family relationships and work. And when you get

1639
01:35:32.320 --> 01:35:38.880
married, guess what? It can, it can rear its head there too, because, Hey, we don't need these men.

1640
01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:43.760
I got this. I can do this better than him. I've done it by myself for however long.

1641
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:49.280
So we'll leave you with that. I'm going to leave you with that tonight. As we log off,

1642
01:35:49.280 --> 01:35:54.560
ask the Lord, is there any areas where you need to make more room for the guy to come in and have

1643
01:35:54.560 --> 01:36:04.320
an opinion and allow him at times to, to be the one to lead, to be the one to lead and that you

1644
01:36:04.320 --> 01:36:11.040
don't have to have all the answers and it's okay for you to, to trust, to trust that God will guide

1645
01:36:11.040 --> 01:36:16.720
him and God will guide the two of you. Y'all aren't, aren't in that space a hundred percent,

1646
01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:21.760
but preparing your heart now will help you when you step back into the dating ring in a few weeks,

1647
01:36:21.760 --> 01:36:27.120
I promise. All right. Let me pray you out father. Thank you so much for these amazing women.

1648
01:36:27.120 --> 01:36:34.320
I pray that you would help them just to see truly what you see, what I see, God helped them to hear

1649
01:36:34.320 --> 01:36:38.720
what your spirit is saying more and more in the days ahead. God set them free in ways that they

1650
01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:44.560
couldn't even ask, think, or imagine Lord. I just even see like you just set, like literally opening

1651
01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:48.960
your hands up in these little baby birds, like are in your hands and they're just gaining their

1652
01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:53.120
wings and they're getting, they're getting ready to fly. And I just thank you that that represents

1653
01:36:53.120 --> 01:36:58.000
what's happening in this season. We thank you that you keep them in their, in your care until they're

1654
01:36:58.000 --> 01:37:02.560
ready. God, and when they're ready, you'll just launch them out. So what I pray that you would

1655
01:37:02.560 --> 01:37:08.720
fill their hope tanks tonight while they sleep, refresh them, restore them, rebuild them. God,

1656
01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:14.480
we thank you that you would go in and, and redeem all of the broken and fallen places.

1657
01:37:14.480 --> 01:37:19.120
God, where, where their family generational lines have been broken, where there's been

1658
01:37:19.120 --> 01:37:23.920
heartache and hardship, where there's been toxicity and brokenness and teasing and putting

1659
01:37:23.920 --> 01:37:28.960
down other people. God, we just thank you that you would just come and with your Holy spirit,

1660
01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:35.440
mark those places and speak life and peace and joy and hope. God, that you would use these ladies

1661
01:37:35.440 --> 01:37:40.720
as kinsmen redeemers in their families, as well as in, in the land in the days to come. We just

1662
01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:45.760
thank you Lord for your calling on their lives. And we, we ask you to help them or to step a

1663
01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:51.120
little further into the fullness of who you originally created them to be in Jesus name.

1664
01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:58.400
Amen. God bless you. I'll see you guys in the group and love you guys. Have a good night.

1665
01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:02.240
Thank you. Bye.
