1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.300
All right, welcome everyone to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:09.520
We are actually welcoming new guests this morning.

3
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:13.660
We are live streaming to our challenge group to give them a taste of what it looks like

4
00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.440
to gather with our community on Saturdays.

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.320
And so for their benefit, Supernatural Saturday is a time when we lean into heaven together

6
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.280
for the current prophetic reality.

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.920
It's important that we all understand that there's our reality.

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.600
Whatever is going on in your life right now, what you can take in through your five senses.

9
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.360
And then there's the reality of heaven.

10
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:36.860
There's God's reality.

11
00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:38.520
And we want God's reality.

12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.800
We want to live our lives according to God's reality.

13
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:42.600
And we want to know what is heaven saying?

14
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.400
What is heaven doing?

15
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:49.200
You know, God's eyes are roaming to and fro throughout the earth every day, looking for

16
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.840
someone who's looking at him, looking for someone who wants to have heaven to invade

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.960
earth through their life every single day.

18
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:00.960
Every single day.

19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:01.960
That's what it looks like.

20
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.960
That's what the Word of God says.

21
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.160
And it says that he's looking for someone to show his power strong on behalf of.

22
00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:11.660
And I don't know about you, but I want to be that person today.

23
00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:16.880
And every Saturday, we remind ourselves that we don't have to live according to our natural

24
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.360
circumstances, that we can press into the supernatural and we can partner with heaven.

25
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.040
So that's what today is all about.

26
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.120
And today we're going to talk a little bit about warfare.

27
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.120
All right.

28
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.120
So get ready for that.

29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.920
And I want you to get ready to testify, because one of the ways that we defeat the warfare,

30
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.520
the unseen forces, the opposing forces that are always pressing against us, the enemies

31
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:45.320
of our soul, is by the word of our own testimony, by the blood of Christ and the word of our

32
00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:46.600
testimony.

33
00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:52.800
So towards the end of this call today, you're going to get an opportunity to release something

34
00:01:52.800 --> 00:02:00.120
short and powerful that God has done for you through this community, through Supernatural

35
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.760
Saturday, through the Last Year Single program.

36
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.920
Yes, we got upgrades in our love lives, but what other kinds of breakthrough have you

37
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.080
gotten as a result of being part of this?

38
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:16.360
We want to help defeat the enemy in other people's lives by showing them what God can

39
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.120
and will do for them.

40
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.320
Did you guys know it's not about what God can do?

41
00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:21.920
God can do anything.

42
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:24.320
It's about what we believe he can do.

43
00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:28.760
And so when we release our testimonies, it helps other people to understand, hey, God

44
00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:30.280
can do that.

45
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.240
So I can believe that God can do that, because if he did it for them, why wouldn't he do

46
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:36.240
it for me?

47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.920
Whether it's healing, whether it's breakthrough, whether it's provision, it doesn't matter

48
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:41.240
what it is.

49
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.480
It shows people that God can work in that specific situation in your life.

50
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:51.760
In fact, the word testimony in its original language means, do it again.

51
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:53.960
Do it again, all right?

52
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.600
So get ready to share.

53
00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:59.840
I'm towards the end of the call, because today is about warfare, and that is one of the weapons

54
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.800
of our warfare, our testimony, the blood of Jesus and our testimony.

55
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.680
All right, so here is how today's subject came up in my heart.

56
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.520
I've been dealing with a lot of stuff.

57
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.160
I know that we think the people that lead us are fearless, but that's not true, okay?

58
00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:19.720
I just do it afraid, just like everybody else.

59
00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:21.360
I do it afraid, just like everybody else.

60
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.480
I lean into heaven just like everybody else.

61
00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:27.640
And so I've been dealing with a lot of stuff, especially health stuff and just different,

62
00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:30.040
all kinds of different things that have been coming against me.

63
00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:32.560
Yes, I've been putting them on my Jesus Cares board.

64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.980
And for all of you that don't know what that is, you will someday soon, and it's going

65
00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:38.120
to change your life.

66
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:44.160
But I've been putting those things up on there, and still just wrestling with a lot of things.

67
00:03:44.160 --> 00:03:49.280
And the other night, I had like level 10 back pain, like out of nowhere, and it was during

68
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.520
a live challenge season, and I had already spiked a fever, and I was just feeling really

69
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.520
overwhelmed.

70
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.880
Like, what the heck is going on, you know?

71
00:03:56.880 --> 00:04:01.000
And I'm just laying there, tossing and turning, and I'm doing what a lot of us try to do when

72
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:02.280
trouble shows up.

73
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.800
I'm trying to figure out a solution.

74
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.520
I'm trying to figure it out.

75
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.400
I want to let you know that there's nowhere in the Bible where God says, good luck, kid.

76
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.200
I hope you figure it out.

77
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:16.600
But yet we still do it over and over and over and over again.

78
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.640
So I'm laying there like, don't laugh at me, because you all do this too.

79
00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:23.920
I was just tossing and turning like, oh my gosh, what did I do?

80
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.320
Where did I get this virus?

81
00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:26.600
You know, was it on the plane?

82
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.640
Was it in New York City at the singles event?

83
00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:29.640
Like what happened?

84
00:04:29.640 --> 00:04:30.680
How did I get this virus?

85
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.840
What virus is it?

86
00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:33.360
And then I did what we should never do.

87
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.960
I started Googling my symptoms, right?

88
00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:40.200
And of course, the internet told me I'm dying.

89
00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:42.120
So there's that.

90
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.840
And so I'm doing that.

91
00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:44.960
I'm trying to figure it out.

92
00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.920
And I'm just getting more and more and more upset and overwhelmed, partnering with fear

93
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.080
now.

94
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:55.560
And then I start having this back pain out of nowhere.

95
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.760
I mean, it's so bad that I got the heating pad out, I got the ice pack out.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.640
can't get comfortable, all the things going on and I finally get to sleep and I wake up the next

97
00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:11.760
morning. Okay, this is Friday morning, yesterday morning. I wake up the next morning and God just

98
00:05:11.760 --> 00:05:21.120
says to me this, don't you believe in warfare anymore? What? Don't you believe in warfare

99
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.240
anymore? And that is what I want to talk about. That's the current prophetic reality of heaven

100
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:34.800
today. God wants us to be reminded that we are not supposed to take everything at face value.

101
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.440
I think we get so scared of over spiritualizing everything in our lives that we forget about

102
00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:49.360
warfare. We're always trying to find a natural reason for our problems. We're always trying to

103
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.280
find out what to blame, what we did wrong, where we should have turned right instead of left.

104
00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:59.200
We're always trying to figure it out and fix it with a natural remedy as well,

105
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:07.760
but sometimes it's just warfare. It's just circumstances that are coming against you

106
00:06:07.760 --> 00:06:14.880
to get you distracted, to get you disrupted, to get you disgusted, all that nasty DIS coming on

107
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:22.480
you to get you disconnected, discouraged. Come on y'all, come with me today. That's what it is and

108
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:30.000
guess what? It works. If we don't immediately recognize that this is something coming from

109
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:37.360
the opposing forces, yeah, it's coming through a natural way and so it seems natural. It does and

110
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:43.120
there might be natural elements to it, but it doesn't mean that it's not warfare. Somewhere

111
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:49.120
along the line we got scared that we would become one of those people, at least this is my story,

112
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.520
that just make it all about the devil all the time,

113
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:57.840
but in that we actually threw out the understanding that it is the devil.

114
00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:07.360
Sometimes it just blatantly is warfare, especially if you are busy about your father's business,

115
00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:13.600
right? You're getting up, you're feeling good. How many times has this happened to you? You're

116
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.480
getting up, you're feeling good, your relationship with God is strong, you know, you're feeling full

117
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.760
of worship and you're feeling like, you know, you can take on the world. You're making plans

118
00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:28.320
to do something you should have done for a long time, like get to the gym and get healthy,

119
00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:32.240
start working on your health, start working on your relationships. Maybe you're coming into this

120
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.160
community, you're like, yes, I believe God's calling me to marriage and family and you're

121
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:46.880
ready to just go all in and then all hell breaks loose. Literally, you walk out the door and

122
00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:53.520
someone slashed your tire, right? You, of all people, it's like, what? I live in the suburbs,

123
00:07:53.520 --> 00:08:00.880
what's going on? You're on your way to work, you're getting a traffic jam, getting to a fender bender,

124
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.680
this happens, that happens and, you know, if the enemy can't distract you

125
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.560
specifically, he will distract you by distracting someone you love.

126
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:15.680
Your kid will get messed up at school, there'll be some bullying incident, there'll be this,

127
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.960
there'll be that, there'll be someone else that has a health issue. You have a health issue,

128
00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:30.720
this happens, that happens. What is that? That is you being thrown off course because you're

129
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:40.159
on to something. You're on to something. Delays, distractions, detours, because you're on to

130
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.880
something and that is the moment that instead of getting overwhelmed, because this is what we do,

131
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:50.560
this is what I do, we get overwhelmed, oh, I don't understand, I was just about to do this,

132
00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:56.320
I was so excited about it, now I gotta deal with this. No, that's the moment when you say no,

133
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:07.680
oh no. We have to be self-aware in that moment that this is a demonic

134
00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:16.560
distraction that has come to derail us from what it is that our hearts want to do.

135
00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:24.720
And what your heart wants to do in those moments is coming from heaven, that desire, that excitement,

136
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:32.320
that anticipation, you're finally ready to take hold of some things. I know a lot of times we

137
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.320
feel like we're a day late and a dollar short. We're like, oh, I should have done this before.

138
00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:40.640
I don't know if you feel like this, but oftentimes when I'm finally ready to do something

139
00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:45.120
that I believe God's been prompting me to do for a while, I often worry that it's too late.

140
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.200
I often worry that I waited too long and now it's too late. That saying, too little, too late,

141
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:56.720
I often worry about that. And that's scary, right? Because then you begin to get into

142
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.920
this legalistic thinking of, oh, I should have done it when God first

143
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.200
told me but now it's too late and you know and it's just it's if I do it now

144
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.760
it's not gonna have any good results right it's too late to do it I should

145
00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:13.280
have done it before and you know God was trying to warn me God loves me but I

146
00:10:13.280 --> 00:10:17.600
wouldn't listen I was disobedient I didn't do it and so now bad things are

147
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:23.280
gonna happen no friends it's not too late in fact I submit to you that God

148
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:27.680
tells us way ahead of time to do things because he knows we're gonna

149
00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:35.560
procrastinate he knows you and God's blessings in your life he has factored

150
00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:44.160
in all of you he knows how you work he knows it's like certain friends that we

151
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:49.640
have we want them to be on time and we know that that would be a miracle and so

152
00:10:49.640 --> 00:10:55.320
we tell them the wrong time on purpose so that by the time they drag their

153
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.640
little booties to the party or to the event they'll be super late at least

154
00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:04.800
they'll think they are but they'll be right on time because we told them that

155
00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:10.320
the event was at a different time when should I be there I'll be there at 6 we

156
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.840
know the party doesn't start till 830 but that gives them a nice buffer

157
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:22.720
because we know who they are I believe that God does that to us as well and he's

158
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.320
constantly working to help us to trust he's constantly working to help us to

159
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.040
get to where we can finally just be obedient I know there's a saying out

160
00:11:33.040 --> 00:11:36.520
there that says delayed obedience is disobedience and I just don't believe

161
00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:41.200
that I don't believe that okay it's one thing to just shut your heart down and

162
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.040
say no I won't do it now that's rebellion that's a whole

163
00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:51.920
different situation but there's another heart posture that I think that most of

164
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.200
us have when God's asking us to do something that we're afraid of or that

165
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:04.760
sounds hard is where we say God I believe help my unbelief when we say I

166
00:12:04.760 --> 00:12:08.960
really want to do this but I'm scared when we drag our feet when you know we

167
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.240
continue to come before the Lord and we continue to put that thing there and he

168
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.600
continues to give us the same input or response and says hey you know this will

169
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.000
be this will be better for you and yeah we prolong our own suffering and we

170
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:27.440
suffer needlessly when we don't just go ahead and do it but at the same time God

171
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:33.120
is patient with us he is kind with us now there are moments when there's an

172
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.760
urgency from heaven like gotta do this now okay you got to do this now and I

173
00:12:37.760 --> 00:12:42.080
believe that God makes us willing to be made willing in those moments okay if

174
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:46.720
there's gonna be some kind of like catastrophe I do believe that but most

175
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:51.440
the time God's just pruning us he's just molding us on the potter's wheel

176
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:56.080
that's what most of life looks like being molded and shaped on that potter's

177
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.720
wheel and you know what the opposing forces hate the potter's wheel they hate

178
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:09.640
us beginning to catch the wind of heaven why because your breakthrough creates

179
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:14.240
breakthrough for others that's why when you get breakthrough you create

180
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.520
breakthrough for others and so the Word of God tells us here's one of the

181
00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:20.840
warfare scriptures we'll share today that the enemy is just roaming around

182
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.760
looking for someone to mess around with right and when we read that scripture I

183
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:31.800
know that we think of it like the devil like the devil when my daughter was

184
00:13:31.800 --> 00:13:38.600
little girl she used to call the devil okay he was the devil and one time she

185
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.680
was sitting in the back of the car and her dad you know my former husband was

186
00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:49.360
driving her and she was probably like five or six years old and he said

187
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.520
something and she said something real sassy back to him right just real sassy

188
00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:57.600
I don't remember what it was but he said something to her and then she sassed him

189
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:02.400
which if you know my daughter is just really not her personality but she sassed

190
00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:10.000
him and then he was like Reagan why did you say that to me and then literally

191
00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:17.080
without missing a beat she said the devil the devil told me to say it so a

192
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.080
lot of us when we read that scripture about roaming to and fro looking for

193
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:27.120
someone to devour we think of you know the devil Satan Lucifer Beelzebub

194
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:32.120
whatever you prefer but you guys the devil is not omnipotent he's not

195
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:37.080
omniscient like God he can't be everywhere right he's a created being

196
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.960
created by God so he's not a spirit like God is he's an actual being you

197
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:49.360
understand that right he's an angel an angel of light that fell get it okay and

198
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:54.640
so that is not the person that's showing up at your door and a lot of us we don't

199
00:14:54.640 --> 00:14:59.920
recognize warfare when it comes because we think that it will be just a little

200
00:14:59.920 --> 00:15:02.520
not

201
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.400
knock on the door, you open the door,

202
00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:03.080
and it's a little guy in the red suit

203
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.860
with the horns and the pitchfork, and no.

204
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:11.720
In fact, oftentimes warfare comes in the form of distraction

205
00:15:12.520 --> 00:15:14.920
in the form of worry, in the form of fear,

206
00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:19.480
in the form of opportunities that don't lead anywhere.

207
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:24.100
This is why we have to be in tune with the Lord, right?

208
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.160
Because warfare oftentimes doesn't show up as warfare.

209
00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:30.540
It shows up as other things,

210
00:15:30.540 --> 00:15:32.540
and we have to be able to recognize it.

211
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:38.000
And that starts, you know, it doesn't start just today.

212
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.600
It starts every day, not just today

213
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.420
when we're talking about it, it starts every day.

214
00:15:44.420 --> 00:15:48.440
And that's why Jesus taught his followers to pray like this.

215
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:53.320
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

216
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.680
Thy kingdom come, where?

217
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:56.680
To earth.

218
00:15:56.680 --> 00:15:58.360
Thy will be done, where?

219
00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:59.260
On the earth.

220
00:15:59.260 --> 00:16:00.640
As it already is, where?

221
00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:02.100
In heaven.

222
00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:04.280
Give us this day our daily bread.

223
00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:08.320
Y'all, that was figurative and literal, okay?

224
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.580
Yes, feed us, great, that's wonderful.

225
00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:13.360
But also give us the wisdom that we need.

226
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.280
Give us the information that we need.

227
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:17.240
Remember when Jesus said,

228
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.200
I have bread that you don't know about?

229
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:21.760
Remember, his disciples were like,

230
00:16:21.760 --> 00:16:22.880
you must be hungry, Jesus.

231
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:24.640
He's like, I have bread that you don't know about.

232
00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:28.800
Give us this day that bread, that daily bread.

233
00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:31.040
And forgive us of our trespasses

234
00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:34.160
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

235
00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:36.240
And right here, y'all, warfare.

236
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.240
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

237
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:47.640
Y'all, that should be a part of your everyday confession.

238
00:16:47.640 --> 00:16:49.500
Not just the Lord's Prayer,

239
00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:52.140
but the concepts in the Lord's Prayer.

240
00:16:53.020 --> 00:16:54.700
Every day you should get up

241
00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:56.500
and you should put on your armor.

242
00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:01.680
Some of you get up every day and you take vitamins.

243
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:03.220
You get up every day and you drink a smoothie.

244
00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:04.940
You get up every day and you take

245
00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:08.520
some other sort of medication or something.

246
00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:10.380
You do something every single day

247
00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:13.540
as a routine to keep yourself well.

248
00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:17.300
This has to become part of our routine.

249
00:17:17.300 --> 00:17:19.579
I'm not just talking to you, I'm talking to myself.

250
00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:21.460
We live in the wicked day.

251
00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:24.780
The Word of God says if you live in the wicked age,

252
00:17:24.780 --> 00:17:26.060
you guys, the world has never been

253
00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:27.660
more wicked than it is now.

254
00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:31.940
I know we think so, but evil has never run

255
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.880
more rampant than it does now.

256
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:37.860
We're climaxing to something, right?

257
00:17:39.060 --> 00:17:41.060
Something's crescendoing here.

258
00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:43.980
And it's important that we understand

259
00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:48.980
that we live in a day where a lot of evil is very elusive.

260
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.660
It's one thing to live in a day where, you know,

261
00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.820
they're rounding up Christians

262
00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:54.180
and they're putting them in the arena

263
00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:58.000
so they can get devoured by lions or gladiators or whatever.

264
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.520
That's pretty overt, that's pretty blatant.

265
00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:02.980
But nowadays, there's something more sinister going on

266
00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:05.180
because it's more covert, amen?

267
00:18:06.340 --> 00:18:10.940
There's a deterioration of society going on all around us.

268
00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:12.700
All around us.

269
00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:17.140
Guys, people are taking their elementary school age children

270
00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:22.140
and having them medically, pharmaceutically castrated.

271
00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:24.500
Come on.

272
00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:27.460
We are living in a very strange time.

273
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.500
We're all around us.

274
00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.780
It's like smoke and mirrors.

275
00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:32.680
You don't know what is what.

276
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.520
You don't.

277
00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:35.180
You don't know what to believe anymore.

278
00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:36.660
And it's important that we understand

279
00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:38.800
that the Bible says to us

280
00:18:38.800 --> 00:18:42.420
that if you do not receive a love for Christ,

281
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.940
hey, the love of Jesus in your heart,

282
00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:46.360
if you do not receive that,

283
00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:50.560
then you could be in danger of believing a delusion, right?

284
00:18:50.560 --> 00:18:51.920
That's part of the warfare.

285
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.840
And so there's delusions all around us, y'all.

286
00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:55.240
We're living in Deluluville.

287
00:18:56.840 --> 00:18:58.160
And it's not a situation

288
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.440
where you can just kind of speak out and ask questions

289
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:02.280
because you can get in big trouble for that.

290
00:19:02.280 --> 00:19:03.940
So it's more of a situation

291
00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:06.240
where we need to know what the weapons of our warfare are

292
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.400
that are not carnal.

293
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.040
And one of the weapons of our warfare

294
00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:11.620
that God has given us is community.

295
00:19:12.620 --> 00:19:15.180
You come together.

296
00:19:16.260 --> 00:19:17.100
What's the model?

297
00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:18.380
Let's go back to the book of Acts.

298
00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:22.900
It says that they were together daily.

299
00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:23.740
Come on, y'all.

300
00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:25.900
They were together daily.

301
00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:28.140
In this community, we have daily prayer.

302
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:30.300
I know some of you guys have work at that time

303
00:19:30.300 --> 00:19:31.540
and you can't be there,

304
00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:35.340
but come and listen to the things that we have daily.

305
00:19:35.340 --> 00:19:37.300
We have something going on daily.

306
00:19:37.300 --> 00:19:39.460
Come and do that.

307
00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:43.580
Get together with your in-person friends and peers.

308
00:19:43.580 --> 00:19:46.340
Get on the phone with someone every single day.

309
00:19:46.340 --> 00:19:48.100
Get a prayer partner from this community.

310
00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:49.620
Pray over each other.

311
00:19:49.620 --> 00:19:52.500
We should be together daily.

312
00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:54.020
Why did they get together daily

313
00:19:54.020 --> 00:19:56.980
back in the first church in the book of Acts?

314
00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.820
Why?

315
00:19:57.820 --> 00:20:00.220
Because there was a lot of evil running rampant.

316
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.240
happened. They got together daily to pray. They got together daily to fellowship with

317
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:12.880
each other, to remind each other of what the truth is so that no one would be led astray.

318
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.160
That's what you do when you live in a time of deep deception like we live in now. You

319
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:24.080
have to be around the people of faith that are speaking truth. Are we speaking perfect

320
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:28.880
truth? No. And what we believe today, will we believe five years from now? God, I hope

321
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:34.160
not. I hope what we will have grown and we'll know more information because the Bible says

322
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:42.560
at the end of the age, the knowledge of God will increase. We should know more. Five years

323
00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:48.080
from now, we should have let go of some of the lesser, more inferior, more immature beliefs

324
00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:54.600
that we have about kingdom and we should have grown in it. But we cannot grow in a vacuum.

325
00:20:54.600 --> 00:20:59.960
We have to grow in community with each other. People that have relationship with God and

326
00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:08.040
say, Oh, I'm good. That is not the model. That is fear. That is actual warfare that

327
00:21:08.040 --> 00:21:15.480
the enemy has set up in your life to keep you isolated and to keep you immature and

328
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.480
to keep you a lot of time deceived. Because you know what happens when it's just you talking

329
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:24.680
to God and you're not getting any outside input? You start hearing things that you think

330
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:33.280
God is saying that ain't true. You start hearing things that you're ascribing to God that you're

331
00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:37.840
not bouncing off anybody else. The Bible says in a multitude of counselors, there is safety.

332
00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:41.120
The Bible says through the mouth of two or three witnesses, let a word be established.

333
00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:46.280
Why is that? Because God knows in our curse state that we would take our ball and go home

334
00:21:46.280 --> 00:21:52.840
if we weren't forced to play with each other. It's easier to isolate. We think it's safer in

335
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:59.320
isolation because if we don't have to trust anyone, then we don't get to get hurt. We don't

336
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:05.560
realize we're already hurt. It's not that you're not going to get hurt. You're already hurt. You're

337
00:22:05.560 --> 00:22:10.720
suffering because you are living outside of your design. You've been designed for a community. And

338
00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:15.880
so you are suffering. You're suffering with loneliness. You're suffering with isolation.

339
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.920
And a lot of times you're suffering with deception because you only have you to be a check and

340
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:31.400
balance in your life. We need each other. Like, oh, I don't like what the church is doing. Okay,

341
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:39.760
cool. You don't have to like what's going on. But you still got to gather with somebody,

342
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:48.160
someplace, because you need each other. You need each other. And that's what we do here.

343
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.640
And on Saturdays, that's what we do because you know why? These are the weapons of our warfare.

344
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:57.440
So every day we've got to get up and we've got to take those spiritual vitamins. The Lord's

345
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.040
prayer is one of those things where we just acknowledge. We acknowledge that we need God.

346
00:23:02.040 --> 00:23:12.640
Take off your little independent pants and put on worship. What does worship look like? Well,

347
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:19.040
in my mind, worship just looks like, I trust you, God. I'm leaning into you, God. I need you,

348
00:23:19.040 --> 00:23:23.080
God. It doesn't look like a song. It doesn't look like a certain key. It doesn't look like

349
00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:27.600
a certain note of a song. It doesn't look like your hands raised. It doesn't look like prostrate

350
00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:33.480
on the ground. It doesn't look like anything. The heart posture of it is, I trust you. I'm

351
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:40.680
looking to you. You are God. I'm not God. I'm looking to you. I'm asking you to keep me. I'm

352
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.520
asking you to help me. I'm telling you that I'm putting my trust in you again today. That's what

353
00:23:45.520 --> 00:23:51.480
worship looks like. Every time you stick something on your Jesus cares board, that's what worship

354
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:57.360
looks like. I trust you. So getting up every day in worship, surrendering your will to God's will,

355
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.640
telling him, you know, that he knows better than you putting on that armor. We'll go over all the

356
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.840
pieces of the armor sometime, but you guys go read it. All right. I think it's in Galatians,

357
00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:17.120
right? It's the armor. It's in Ephesians. Thank you.

358
00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:27.840
Ephesians chapter six, 11, chapter six, 11 through 17, put on the full armor of God so

359
00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:34.120
that you can stand so that you can take your stand against the devil schemes for our struggles,

360
00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:39.280
not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the

361
00:24:39.280 --> 00:24:46.040
powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

362
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:51.640
Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to

363
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:56.560
stand your ground. You guys were living in that day. And after you have done everything to stand,

364
00:24:56.560 --> 00:25:00.080
stand firm with the belt of truth. Buckle up.

365
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.400
around your waist because it's important that we understand that we gird our loins with truth

366
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:10.000
and the reason why our loins are girded with truth okay is because that is where your

367
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:17.360
reproductive place is right that's a typology of reproduction whatever you believe you're

368
00:25:17.360 --> 00:25:24.960
going to reproduce so we want to gird our loins with truth that's really important okay um

369
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:32.400
um the breastplate of righteousness in place that's important why that typology is important

370
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.600
the breastplate of righteousness is covering what it's covering your heart and why righteousness

371
00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:42.240
because it's not about you and it's not about your performance it's about jesus and his performance

372
00:25:43.360 --> 00:25:50.880
every day you have to guard your heart with the understanding that you are not acceptable to god

373
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:57.200
because you do acceptable things you're acceptable to god when you receive christ as your savior

374
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:03.120
you're acceptable to god when you receive that righteousness from the finished work of the cross

375
00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:08.160
the bible says that your righteousness no matter how good you are remember that scripture is being

376
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:13.520
written to pharisees and and jews that were cross and t's and dot and i's i think they have something

377
00:26:13.520 --> 00:26:21.360
like 623 rules currently right now that they have to follow besides moses the the commandments of

378
00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:26.560
moses and so they were just jumping through all the hoops trying to make sure that they did

379
00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:32.880
everything right every single day they had to get up and try to follow all 600 plus of those rules

380
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.240
every day and not break one right and so that scripture was written to them when it says your

381
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:46.160
righteousness is filthy rags no matter how good you know paul said i'm the pharisee of the pharisees

382
00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:52.560
i'm the i'm the i'm the cheapest among them i'm the best of the best i'm really good rule keeper

383
00:26:54.640 --> 00:27:01.040
so ironic that god chose him as his disciple and when he converted him from saul to paul

384
00:27:01.040 --> 00:27:05.760
he became the biggest rule breaker i love that y'all that's right up my alley

385
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:12.320
so we have to guard our hearts with the understanding that god accepts us that he loves us

386
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:20.800
that he is providing for us that he is blessing us not according to our performance but because

387
00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:25.280
of jesus who died for you and as you on the cross that day and so every day we have to guard our

388
00:27:25.280 --> 00:27:30.400
heart from religion and from condemnation from legalism by wearing that breastplate of righteousness

389
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.160
because you know what will happen if you don't the enemy will show up and said oh well

390
00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:39.840
and very sneaky it doesn't sound like the enemy it sounds like your own thoughts saying

391
00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:44.160
well you know i'd really like to ask god for this but i don't you know i don't feel worthy of it

392
00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:47.040
you know why would god do this for me

393
00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:53.200
you start to have unworthy behavior then you start to try to do things yourself you go back

394
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:58.560
into orphan mode because you think in your mind that you know god's not going to help me because

395
00:27:58.560 --> 00:28:03.680
i haven't crossed the t's and died of the eyes and so unconsciously you just start trying to do

396
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.920
stuff in your own strength and so the thing that you need to understand this morning and hopefully

397
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:14.320
this will be a warfare buster in your life is that you are not worthy you are not worthy of

398
00:28:14.320 --> 00:28:19.760
god's attention you are not worthy of his help you are not worthy of his blessing or his provision

399
00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:26.800
you are not worthy and you never will be worthy in and of yourself and so go ahead and stop trying

400
00:28:27.760 --> 00:28:36.720
to be worthy instead surrender to the love that was given you at the cross stop laying in the bed

401
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:42.400
that you have made by your bad decisions and move over and lay in the bed that jesus made

402
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.480
with his obedience the bible says that through one man one one man's disobedience and we all

403
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:55.760
know who that was we all became sinners through one man's disobedience we all became sinners

404
00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:59.840
you know it doesn't say through you know one couple's disobedience why is that because the

405
00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:06.400
woman was deceived and all you ladies on the call need to understand that the feminine that you are

406
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:13.760
has a higher rate of deception because of the way that you are made up physiologically

407
00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:20.800
because of the way that you operate at a higher level of intuition and emotion you

408
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:28.720
have a higher tendency to get deceived so the the woman was tricked but the man disobeyed

409
00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:34.800
the man decided he would rather please the woman than please god he was disobedient so through one

410
00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:41.520
man's disobedience we all became sinners but the scripture doesn't stop there it says but

411
00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:51.280
through one man's obedience jesus we all became righteous yeah we all were born into a curse

412
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.400
not because of what we did but because of what someone else did but guess what

413
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.840
we all also were reconciled to righteousness because of what some

414
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.260
and did, and not because of what we did.

415
00:30:02.260 --> 00:30:04.000
Come on, get a hold of that today.

416
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.860
That can change your life right there.

417
00:30:07.100 --> 00:30:09.580
That is a life-changing statement right there.

418
00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:13.780
So we have that breastplate of righteousness on every day.

419
00:30:13.780 --> 00:30:15.540
And then with our feet fitted,

420
00:30:15.540 --> 00:30:18.380
with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace,

421
00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.540
what's that mean?

422
00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:22.420
That means you're gonna walk in peace.

423
00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.180
You're gonna walk in shalom.

424
00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:26.300
Everywhere you go, chaos and confusion

425
00:30:26.300 --> 00:30:28.780
is gonna be devoured when you walk in peace.

426
00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:30.400
You're walking in the gospel of peace.

427
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:34.040
There's no longer war happening inside of you.

428
00:30:34.040 --> 00:30:36.800
You have surrendered to the prince of peace,

429
00:30:36.800 --> 00:30:38.040
and you're gonna walk in peace.

430
00:30:38.040 --> 00:30:39.380
You're gonna bring peace.

431
00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:42.640
You're gonna bring the gospel of peace to people.

432
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:44.640
You're gonna bring hope to people.

433
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.800
People are gonna look at you and say,

434
00:30:45.800 --> 00:30:48.840
why are you so chipper today?

435
00:30:48.840 --> 00:30:50.320
And you're gonna say, I'm blessed.

436
00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:52.000
And you're gonna mean it.

437
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.320
And then when people wanna know more,

438
00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:55.000
you're gonna be able to tell them

439
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.380
because you're walking in peace.

440
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:01.160
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith

441
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.960
with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows

442
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.040
of the evil one and take the helmet of salvation

443
00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:10.000
and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

444
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.040
So we see all these different things

445
00:31:12.040 --> 00:31:14.800
that we should be applying to our lives every day.

446
00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:15.840
That shield of faith.

447
00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:18.200
That shield of faith.

448
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.400
Remember, we already have that breastplate

449
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:20.640
of righteousness on, right?

450
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.880
So we're already covered there,

451
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:24.960
but that shield is that extra thing.

452
00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:27.540
Because what does the Bible say about faith?

453
00:31:27.540 --> 00:31:29.900
It says without faith, it's impossible to please God.

454
00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:33.180
And people stop right there when they quote that scripture.

455
00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:36.820
And it sounds so hard, right?

456
00:31:36.820 --> 00:31:39.580
It's like, oh, without faith, it's impossible to please God.

457
00:31:39.580 --> 00:31:41.300
And then you conjure up in your mind

458
00:31:41.300 --> 00:31:43.820
whatever you think faith looks like.

459
00:31:43.820 --> 00:31:45.380
And usually you come up with someone

460
00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:47.780
who you think is perfect and they don't have any problems

461
00:31:47.780 --> 00:31:49.220
and they're always able to trust the Lord

462
00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.440
no matter what happens.

463
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.500
And then you just compare yourself to them

464
00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:54.420
and then you just feel lacking.

465
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:57.680
That is not what the scripture says.

466
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.600
It says without faith, it's impossible to please God

467
00:32:00.600 --> 00:32:04.320
because people that have faith

468
00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:06.400
are the ones that come to him like children

469
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:10.420
and crawl up in his lap and expect him to bless them.

470
00:32:11.460 --> 00:32:14.200
That's what having faith looks like.

471
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:16.880
You're not running from God, you're running to God.

472
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:20.400
You're not hiding from daddy, you're coming to daddy.

473
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:21.800
That's what faith looks like.

474
00:32:21.800 --> 00:32:24.000
Faith looks like regardless of what you've done

475
00:32:24.060 --> 00:32:25.260
or what anyone else has done,

476
00:32:25.260 --> 00:32:27.220
you're coming and looking for the father.

477
00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:30.540
You're calling, Abba, where are you?

478
00:32:30.540 --> 00:32:32.340
And then you go and you get up in his lap

479
00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:34.680
and you let him comfort you.

480
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:36.580
Even if you're the villain of the story,

481
00:32:36.580 --> 00:32:37.900
whatever story you're gonna tell him,

482
00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:40.200
you let him comfort you, you let him love you,

483
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.980
you let him bless you, even when you don't deserve it.

484
00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:45.300
That's what having faith looks like.

485
00:32:47.580 --> 00:32:49.680
That's what having faith looks like.

486
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.480
So we take up that shield of faith,

487
00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:55.420
that shield of knowing that our father is for us

488
00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:59.660
and he is with us and life is for us because of him.

489
00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:03.580
Who can separate us from the love of God is what is written.

490
00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:06.420
That is what that shield of faith looks like.

491
00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:08.380
You can't separate me from the love of my father.

492
00:33:08.380 --> 00:33:10.020
My daddy loves me.

493
00:33:10.020 --> 00:33:12.260
And yeah, things might look a little crazy right now,

494
00:33:12.260 --> 00:33:14.020
but he's gonna show up

495
00:33:14.020 --> 00:33:15.620
because I'm gonna keep coming to him

496
00:33:15.620 --> 00:33:18.900
because I believe that he is a rewarder

497
00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:21.660
of those that seek him.

498
00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:23.120
That's what faith looks like.

499
00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:26.640
So we take up that shield of faith

500
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.800
and it says we can extinguish

501
00:33:27.800 --> 00:33:30.480
all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

502
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.980
And we put on that helmet of salvation.

503
00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:34.760
That word salvation is sozo.

504
00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:36.480
That means healed mind, body, and spirit.

505
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:41.480
We put on that sozo helmet and it keeps our mind, right?

506
00:33:42.080 --> 00:33:43.320
It keeps our mind.

507
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.120
The Bible says when you keep your eyes on Jesus,

508
00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:48.280
he'll keep your mind in perfect peace.

509
00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:51.560
We put on that helmet knowing that this isn't my,

510
00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:53.260
this isn't my thing.

511
00:33:53.260 --> 00:33:54.080
It's not my job.

512
00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:55.100
It's Jesus's job.

513
00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:56.300
I can't save myself.

514
00:33:56.300 --> 00:33:58.180
He already saved me on the cross.

515
00:33:59.540 --> 00:34:02.900
It's not by might or by power, but by his spirit.

516
00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:04.620
And then we take up that sword

517
00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:08.620
and we begin to speak in agreement with heaven.

518
00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:11.699
You guys, you gotta know the word of God.

519
00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:16.260
I'm not reading scriptures off some thing right now.

520
00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:19.460
I mean, I am reading Ephesians 6 to you right now,

521
00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:21.260
but I already know what this says

522
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:22.780
without looking at it.

523
00:34:22.780 --> 00:34:24.520
I just didn't kind of know where it was,

524
00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:28.040
but I have a lot of scripture inside of me.

525
00:34:28.040 --> 00:34:29.920
All the scriptures that I'm quoting right now

526
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.440
as I'm just riffing with you

527
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.159
are just things that are inside of me

528
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.179
because I have spent time in his word,

529
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:44.320
because I've spent time getting to know him, right?

530
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.440
And so you gotta have that sword ready to go.

531
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:48.920
And you can't have it ready to go

532
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.880
if you don't know what it is.

533
00:34:51.620 --> 00:34:53.880
And so these are things that we have to have.

534
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:57.400
These are things that we have to have,

535
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.000
and there's so much more in you than you know.

536
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.860
So much more in you that God has deposited than you know

537
00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:07.400
Yes

538
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:11.920
Romans tells us that in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us

539
00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:14.000
So we are more than a match

540
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:19.840
For all of these schemes of the enemy and the great thing is is that if we press in with God every morning

541
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.560
He'll show us the schemes of the enemy

542
00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:25.000
He'll show us

543
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:33.000
Right, one of my favorites favorite favorite passages of Scripture to take as a daily vitamin would be Psalm 91

544
00:35:34.080 --> 00:35:37.480
He that dwells in the secret place of the Almighty

545
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:40.800
That's what we got to get into every morning

546
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.160
I'm gonna give him that secret place because if you read the rest of that chapter you see that you are protected

547
00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:49.720
You are kept from the things that are trying to stalk you and destroy you

548
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:54.840
Any traps that the enemy's trying to set for you, he's gonna fall in himself

549
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.460
Right, that's what's happening there

550
00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:03.200
So many good things

551
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:04.840
Whoo

552
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.560
All right

553
00:36:05.560 --> 00:36:08.880
One of the other things that I want to touch on right now that I feel coming up in my heart

554
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.320
That is a weapon of our warfare that maybe we don't realize is is forgiveness

555
00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:16.600
You guys we have to walk in forgiveness

556
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:19.440
We must

557
00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:27.960
Walk in forgiveness. Yes. Do people deserve to be forgiven? No, and do you know?

558
00:36:29.240 --> 00:36:33.720
Most people are not even sorry or even aware of the things that they have done

559
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:37.120
They're not and

560
00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:42.140
So it's important that we walk in forgiveness that we keep a very short list and by the end of the day

561
00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:44.480
We have forgiven everyone on those lists

562
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:51.040
Okay, and the only reason you're keeping a list is so you remember to forgive them before you go to sleep

563
00:36:53.520 --> 00:36:59.520
One thing that my husband and I definitely do is we do not go to bed angry at each other we can have a

564
00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:02.160
blowout

565
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.400
Crazy argument and we have had those in 17 years of marriage

566
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.360
One of us is massively triggered in a place where we're not fully healed and then all heck breaks loose

567
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.360
And yes, that does happen in

568
00:37:16.200 --> 00:37:21.360
Marriage even in the best of marriages, but we don't stay in that state

569
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.680
We don't stay in that state. We don't harden our hearts

570
00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:28.360
We don't

571
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.360
We forgive we come together

572
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:33.000
If we got to be up till 4 o'clock in the morning

573
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:40.440
We will forget and I'm not talking about arguing. I will tell you that I cannot sleep until

574
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:42.960
Things are made right

575
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.520
Not, you know, maybe that the situation can't be made right the argument, you know

576
00:37:47.520 --> 00:37:50.040
You have to disagree to disagree in the moment right now

577
00:37:50.520 --> 00:37:54.080
but we can come into a place where we can acknowledge that we love each other and

578
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:56.920
Let go of anger

579
00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:59.160
Put away wrath and bitterness, right?

580
00:37:59.200 --> 00:38:03.720
You don't ever want to let bitterness get a foothold in your heart and the same way

581
00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:06.560
My husband is the exact same way neither one of us

582
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.160
partnering with pride

583
00:38:09.160 --> 00:38:11.160
But both of us partnering with humility

584
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:17.640
That's the kind of marriage you got to have got to have that kind of marriage

585
00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:21.200
This is all warfare

586
00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:23.120
Gotta forgive

587
00:38:23.120 --> 00:38:25.120
Yes, they might not be. Sorry

588
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:27.280
Yes, they might not have apologized to you

589
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:33.280
Yes, they might not ever be. Sorry and remember when I say forgiveness. I'm not saying reconciliation

590
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:39.440
There are some people that you'll forgive and you'll love from a distance, but they won't be part of your life anymore

591
00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:45.640
Sometimes God separates us from people to protect us

592
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:52.460
Simply because he knows that the state of mind and heart that they're still operating in all they're gonna do is continually hurt you

593
00:38:55.680 --> 00:38:59.400
I wish I could say that once we've been hurt by a person in a certain way

594
00:38:59.600 --> 00:39:04.360
That we're kind of immune to that hurt and they can't ever hurt us like that again, but it's just not true

595
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:12.440
It isn't and so sometimes God will put some distance

596
00:39:14.160 --> 00:39:20.840
But it's not distance because of anger it's not distance because of bitterness, please don't get it twisted that's not what it's about

597
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:28.160
It's not you using the code word boundaries because you're still mad at this person and you still just kind of hate them

598
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:38.120
No, and you know why that has to be part of warfare forgiveness because the Bible says that if you don't walk in forgiveness

599
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:41.240
then you can't receive the finished work of the cross and

600
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:45.000
you have to otherwise you're living under the curse and

601
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:52.240
The Bible also says that if you don't forgive you won't be forgiven and the Bible also says not to give place to the enemy

602
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:58.280
What's that mean? Don't invite him over for dinner by your bitterness

603
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.400
You

604
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:09.600
Don't invite trouble to come knocking on your door simply because you refuse to let go of

605
00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:18.000
the failures and the sins of someone else.

606
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:23.360
I will tell you a blind spot that I have always seen in my own life is when I sit in judgment

607
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:25.920
of someone else.

608
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:28.520
Because there's a why behind the what every time, friends.

609
00:40:28.520 --> 00:40:29.720
There's a why behind the what.

610
00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:32.640
It doesn't make it okay, but there is a why.

611
00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:36.440
And God in his compassion, he understands people fully.

612
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:39.480
That's why it says that we see the outside, but he sees the heart.

613
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.640
He understands fully what makes people the way they are.

614
00:40:42.640 --> 00:40:48.360
And he is always full of love and compassion for them.

615
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.480
And he can do that because he's God.

616
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:57.360
Sometimes we have misplaced loyalties and misplaced human compassion that can get us

617
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:58.600
in trouble.

618
00:40:58.600 --> 00:41:03.520
It's important that we're operating in God's wisdom and not our own when it comes to dangerous

619
00:41:03.520 --> 00:41:08.640
people that have aligned themselves and yoked themselves with evil.

620
00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:11.880
That's really important in this story right now.

621
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:17.520
But we have to understand that when we can see the why behind the what, we can extend

622
00:41:17.520 --> 00:41:20.840
compassion and we can extend forgiveness.

623
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:27.000
We can extend that as well, right?

624
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:29.200
We can.

625
00:41:29.200 --> 00:41:34.960
Because when we sit in judgment of other people, it causes a blind spot.

626
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:41.320
It causes a blind spot where sometimes you'll start maybe falling prey to the same lusts

627
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.400
and temptations maybe as they did.

628
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:45.520
It might just look a little different.

629
00:41:45.520 --> 00:41:52.960
In fact, I will be honest with you and tell you that anytime in my mind, I'll see someone

630
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:58.720
doing something and I'll say to my mind, in my mind, I don't know about that.

631
00:41:58.720 --> 00:42:02.720
Immediately Holy Spirit will be like, well, you do that.

632
00:42:02.720 --> 00:42:05.880
And then it'll show me like how I do something similar in my pride.

633
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:11.960
And then I have to say, and this is what I always say back, I say, oh, touche, touche.

634
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:12.960
That's true.

635
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:18.800
And then immediately what happens is it forges a place of compassion in my heart for that

636
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:19.800
person.

637
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.360
And I'm able to say a prayer for them, whoever they are.

638
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:25.720
Maybe there's some celebrity, maybe they're, you know, someone that I don't know, someone

639
00:42:25.720 --> 00:42:27.360
that I'm seeing from afar.

640
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.960
We have a habit of judging people either that we think we know really well or that we don't

641
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.800
know at all.

642
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:39.680
You don't know the intentions of someone's heart.

643
00:42:39.680 --> 00:42:45.680
So stop acting like you do just because you have intuition.

644
00:42:45.680 --> 00:42:48.520
Intuition when it's overextended by judgment becomes suspicion.

645
00:42:48.520 --> 00:42:51.400
And it's important that we release that to the Lord.

646
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.840
Because only he knows the intentions of people's hearts.

647
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:58.640
Now there is a gift of the spirit called discernment.

648
00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:04.720
And all that's allowing you to do is to discern whether or not someone's intentions are aligned

649
00:43:04.720 --> 00:43:07.760
with heaven or not.

650
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:08.760
Right?

651
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:14.240
Because sometimes people can be doing some crazy stuff on the outside, but you know what?

652
00:43:14.240 --> 00:43:15.840
Their heart is still aligned with heaven.

653
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:21.960
And it's important that we don't sit in judgment of those people and their calling and what

654
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:27.800
they might be doing or what God might be doing through some imperfect action that they're

655
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:28.800
taking.

656
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:32.880
Yeah, maybe they're not doing it exactly right or the way the churchy you would do it.

657
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:38.760
But still, if it has an eternal outcome, then God's in the mix.

658
00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:43.720
I hope this is helping someone today because it's certainly helping me.

659
00:43:43.720 --> 00:43:47.640
And so we're right here at the 15 minute mark, got about 15 minutes left.

660
00:43:47.640 --> 00:43:52.480
And I would love for you to use that other weapon of our warfare.

661
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.800
It's not carnal, right?

662
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.960
Because the breakthroughs that you're going to praise God for right now, they didn't come

663
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:02.800
as a result of your hard work and your striving.

664
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:08.360
They came as a result of you coming into supernatural community, you surrendering, you applying

665
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:13.200
the spiritual truths that God has given you through the teaching and through the things

666
00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:14.200
that happen here.

667
00:44:14.200 --> 00:44:19.520
And so I want you to give just short, brief, powerful testimonies of how last year's single

668
00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:25.760
program has changed your life emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, spiritually.

669
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.320
However, but let's go ahead and popcorn those.

670
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.600
Who wants to go first?

671
00:44:30.600 --> 00:44:31.600
I do, Jackie.

672
00:44:31.600 --> 00:44:36.720
It brought me back to a relationship with Jesus and the transformation that my mom saw

673
00:44:36.720 --> 00:44:43.160
allowed her to let God rescue her from a really abusive situation, too.

674
00:44:44.120 --> 00:44:45.120
Praise God.

675
00:44:45.120 --> 00:44:46.120
Keep them coming.

676
00:44:46.120 --> 00:44:47.120
I love it.

677
00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:52.400
I've got to go into work right now, but this program has been transformational to me.

678
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:58.040
My ex was a pastor and I always felt like, you know, he was a better Christian than me

679
00:44:58.040 --> 00:44:59.920
in all ways, shapes, forms.

680
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.120
And I've come to realize how God loves me and talks to me and have my very own relationship

681
00:45:07.120 --> 00:45:08.600
with Papa God.

682
00:45:08.600 --> 00:45:12.440
And it's a pearl of great price to me.

683
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:13.440
Thank you, Jackie.

684
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:14.440
Praise God.

685
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:15.440
Love it.

686
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:16.440
Keep going.

687
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:17.840
I want to say something.

688
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.800
I just want to thank this program for all the truth.

689
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:26.320
The first week, even though I could hardly get on all the Zooms in December, all the

690
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.200
lies just kept dropping off.

691
00:45:28.200 --> 00:45:33.240
One by one by one, everything you're saying in your book is like the most amazing thing.

692
00:45:33.240 --> 00:45:34.480
And now guess what?

693
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:46.040
I'm in a secure, I respond to insecure, not anxiety, not avoidance, but my attachment

694
00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:47.040
is secure.

695
00:45:47.040 --> 00:45:48.760
I passed the test.

696
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:50.240
You are the icing on the cake.

697
00:45:50.240 --> 00:45:54.000
You are the icing on my wedding cake, Jackie, you're amazing.

698
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:58.080
And I just pray that you just live forever and that everybody comes.

699
00:45:58.080 --> 00:46:02.840
And I want all the men, come on, man, just as many women, I actually want more men than

700
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:03.840
there are women.

701
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:04.840
Come on.

702
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:05.840
Thank you, Jackie.

703
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:06.840
I love you.

704
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:08.760
Hey, thank you, Gwen.

705
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:10.880
I'm the icing on someone's wedding cake.

706
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.880
That's very funny.

707
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:12.880
I've never heard that.

708
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:13.880
Hey, we have guys on the call.

709
00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:14.880
They're just quieter.

710
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:20.200
So if a guy wants to testify, let's go.

711
00:46:20.200 --> 00:46:30.480
I'd like to share the forgiveness piece of the heart work was a wonderful preparation

712
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:38.760
very quickly after the heart work, it was by September, God led me right into deliverance

713
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.680
and I was prepared for it because I had done all that forgiveness work.

714
00:46:42.680 --> 00:46:46.640
So that was the big, big thing for me.

715
00:46:46.640 --> 00:46:47.640
Love it.

716
00:46:47.640 --> 00:46:48.640
Patricia.

717
00:46:48.640 --> 00:46:49.640
So good.

718
00:46:50.080 --> 00:46:51.080
I agree.

719
00:46:51.080 --> 00:46:52.080
Oh, sorry.

720
00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:56.080
Go ahead.

721
00:46:59.080 --> 00:47:00.080
Go ahead.

722
00:47:00.080 --> 00:47:01.080
Come on.

723
00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:02.880
I'm really grateful for this program.

724
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.360
It's really shifted my priorities.

725
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.160
I've had a lot of breakthrough, especially with mental health.

726
00:47:09.160 --> 00:47:13.560
I mean, I'm still working through things, but I've forgiven so many people that certain

727
00:47:13.560 --> 00:47:18.480
things that used to take years and months affect me like forgiving people when they

728
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:24.320
really hurt me, like just takes me days or maybe even if it's a really, really long

729
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:30.560
time, maybe a week, but the amount of like how my life's been freed up, like a year ago,

730
00:47:30.560 --> 00:47:36.480
I was struggling during this time of year, busy season, I'm now walking like five miles

731
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:41.920
a day with the walking challenge and I'm able to do my work and be a better mom.

732
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:47.320
And if it wasn't for all these things that have just been lifted so far, and I thank

733
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:51.640
you, Jackie, for seeing me even in most times, I always feel like leaders of TV, I'm like

734
00:47:51.640 --> 00:47:54.480
the odd one out, the odd no one likes.

735
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.680
So I'm just really grateful for this community where the leaders are not respecters of persons,

736
00:47:59.680 --> 00:48:00.680
but they're led by God.

737
00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:02.680
Awesome, Jackie.

738
00:48:02.680 --> 00:48:03.680
That's awesome.

739
00:48:03.680 --> 00:48:04.680
Love that testimony.

740
00:48:04.680 --> 00:48:05.680
Come on, you guys.

741
00:48:05.680 --> 00:48:07.680
And I feel like some of you need to share some more private things.

742
00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:09.200
I know this is a public call.

743
00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:12.680
Remember, there are people listening that your breakthrough creates breakthrough for

744
00:48:12.680 --> 00:48:13.680
them.

745
00:48:13.680 --> 00:48:16.680
So go ahead and testify because this is warfare right now.

746
00:48:17.040 --> 00:48:20.040
I have three big, oh, can I?

747
00:48:20.040 --> 00:48:21.040
Sorry.

748
00:48:21.040 --> 00:48:22.040
Yeah, go ahead.

749
00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:23.040
Thank you.

750
00:48:23.040 --> 00:48:25.040
I just have three quick ones.

751
00:48:25.040 --> 00:48:30.040
Mashonda released a grace and a testimony over us about family reconciliation.

752
00:48:30.040 --> 00:48:35.160
And a family member that I haven't spoken to in two years reached out and apologized

753
00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:36.160
to me.

754
00:48:36.160 --> 00:48:38.400
And now we're having regular communication and it's healthy.

755
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:46.280
The second one was doing the hard work, unearth a very deep childhood trauma, a sexual trauma.

756
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:48.360
But it felt it was done safely.

757
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:51.000
And I was able to share it with some of the ladies.

758
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:55.480
And I've gotten deliverance from the harm that that was doing.

759
00:48:55.480 --> 00:49:00.920
And then the last one is trusting community again, because I'm like shaking when I'm doing

760
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:01.920
this.

761
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:02.920
Trusting community again.

762
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:03.920
And that's a big one.

763
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:05.240
I didn't think it was reconcilable.

764
00:49:05.240 --> 00:49:06.760
So the women here are incredible.

765
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:07.760
It's safe.

766
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:08.960
The leaders are safe.

767
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:11.320
And I have not been able to say that before.

768
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:12.320
So.

769
00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:14.840
Love that so much.

770
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:15.840
Praise God.

771
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:19.400
I love that y'all will confess your faults to one another and be healed.

772
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.600
But if you don't trust other people, how are you supposed to, how are you supposed to do

773
00:49:22.600 --> 00:49:27.320
James 516, but she's able to do it in this community and get the healing that God promises

774
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:28.320
in that scripture.

775
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:29.320
And I love that so much.

776
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:30.320
All right.

777
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:31.320
Come on.

778
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:32.320
Keep them coming.

779
00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:33.320
I'd love to share.

780
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:36.560
I'm driving to Colorado right now, but I wanted to share the biggest thing.

781
00:49:36.560 --> 00:49:42.080
I was in a relationship for four years and I had the Lord give me visions and dreams

782
00:49:42.080 --> 00:49:45.000
and a lot of them came true and marriage was part of it.

783
00:49:45.160 --> 00:49:49.280
And I kept holding on to that vision.

784
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:53.200
And it was you, Jackie, that prophetic words have an expiration date.

785
00:49:53.200 --> 00:49:55.720
And I had never heard that before.

786
00:49:55.720 --> 00:49:59.920
And I, when we broke up, he split it up.

787
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.920
I was so heartbroken and my daughter was heartbroken and I couldn't accept free will because free

788
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:16.440
will people use their will to hurt me growing up and and so God had been speaking free will

789
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:21.000
to me the entire time but I couldn't accept that in the beginning of the breakup and he

790
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:27.320
said daughter you were faithful to my word that I gave you because like just like you

791
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:31.560
said earlier God knows our heart and I did not know that prophetic words could have an

792
00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:38.240
expiration date so I was warfaring that relationship and so I just thank you so much I've just

793
00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:44.720
had so many breakthroughs um that was probably the biggest one breakthrough you guys you

794
00:50:44.720 --> 00:50:49.000
hear what she's saying she was fighting for something continuously because she didn't

795
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:54.000
understand that you know sometimes you just have to let things go other people have the

796
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:58.240
choices that they make so she thought hey if God gave me this word then I have to fight

797
00:50:58.240 --> 00:51:04.240
for it how many of you fought for abusive marriages to be changed and healed for years

798
00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:09.840
just keeping yourself in deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper abuse I was one of those

799
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:15.640
people and so yes it's important that we know when to walk away and we know when to run

800
00:51:15.640 --> 00:51:19.680
and that's all sanctioned by the Lord and so that's a huge breakthrough and I love that

801
00:51:19.720 --> 00:51:20.640
all right who's next

802
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:28.760
okay let's let Charles go let's let a guy go when guys finally speak up come on guys we know

803
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:33.800
you're here there's 279 of us on this call there were 300 so go ahead Charles short and

804
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:34.360
powerful

805
00:51:35.080 --> 00:51:41.080
yeah so over the course of all God protected me multiple times like over 100 times where I

806
00:51:41.080 --> 00:51:48.080
could have died while traveling or supernatural things would happen where a where things

807
00:51:48.080 --> 00:51:53.880
were thwarted that could have took me out and I just want to say again but what God

808
00:51:53.880 --> 00:52:02.520
ordained like when he got it God protects us when he calls us he protects us so Charles we

809
00:52:02.520 --> 00:52:07.000
want to know how this program has changed your life that is the that is the testimony that we

810
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:16.080
want well every time I come on on a call to any anyone see some type of breakthrough and I

817
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:00.760
energizing is what I'm getting at it's enthusiasm for me and it's it's I'm faster than I'm older

818
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:07.920
and I've been a pastor for a chaplain for 40 years and I can tell you this is awesome so thank

819
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:13.760
you so much to be a part of this community I love that so much see right to see it just shows us

820
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:18.760
even when we're in spiritual leadership we still need community we still get breakthrough by

821
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:23.680
hearing other leaders and other you know other brothers and sisters talk about the things they're

822
00:53:23.680 --> 00:53:29.040
going through and what God's doing in their lives and so that's such a high you know recommendation

823
00:53:29.040 --> 00:53:34.800
and review saying hey I've been a chaplain for 40 years and this still is just so blessing my

824
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:42.560
life and I love that all right so who's next I can go this is Stacy Stacy I'm in Austin Texas

825
00:53:42.560 --> 00:53:48.600
and this program has helped me with number one realizing that there's nothing wrong with me

826
00:53:48.600 --> 00:53:55.920
number two that I can be divinely feminine and still be a leader and then also to take risks

827
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:02.360
and go on low-stakes dates with men that I would never be physically attracted to but it could

828
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:09.600
happen and so that's what's happened with me awesome and to answer the person's questions

829
00:54:09.600 --> 00:54:14.320
about meeting in person yes we have a whole list of in-person meetups that we're gonna release by

830
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:20.200
March 1st and you will probably see a city near you on that so definitely make sure that you take

831
00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:25.560
time to get together with your brothers and I heard a guy's voice before Stacy came on great

832
00:54:25.560 --> 00:54:33.520
testimony Stacy who is that guy go for it Jackie Nevin I think hard work was one of the most

833
00:54:33.520 --> 00:54:41.600
important aspects of the program it really helped me identify the lies and the unbelief that I had

834
00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:46.920
with regards to relationships so it was very transformational in identifying and then dealing

835
00:54:46.920 --> 00:54:55.120
with those yes thank you Nitin love it see ladies men do hard work and they want to do hard work so

836
00:54:55.120 --> 00:55:00.560
there's there's a there's a the defeating what the enemy tries

837
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.660
It's a lie to us because that's warfare.

838
00:55:01.660 --> 00:55:05.100
The lies of the enemy are warfare, especially if they cause you to live

839
00:55:05.100 --> 00:55:06.400
your life in a certain way.

840
00:55:06.700 --> 00:55:09.900
And a lot of times we live our lives in opposition to each other because we

841
00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:12.460
believe the lies of the enemy about each other.

842
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:13.300
Okay.

843
00:55:13.300 --> 00:55:15.980
So a lot of times when we're like, yeah, you know, men don't want to do the

844
00:55:15.980 --> 00:55:18.380
work, they don't want to do inner healing, you know, blah, blah.

845
00:55:18.620 --> 00:55:19.620
Well, there you go.

846
00:55:19.820 --> 00:55:22.820
That just defeated that lie, the blood of Jesus and the word of

847
00:55:22.820 --> 00:55:24.500
Nitton's testimony, praise God.

848
00:55:25.380 --> 00:55:26.900
Have just a couple more minutes.

849
00:55:26.940 --> 00:55:27.820
Pick a couple more.

850
00:55:27.820 --> 00:55:28.800
Let's say two more.

851
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:32.360
Becky, I would like to share, um, go ahead, Kelly.

852
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:41.440
Um, I've learned through this that God sees me and, um, he knows where I am,

853
00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:43.540
what I need and how to get it to me.

854
00:55:44.240 --> 00:55:49.640
Um, and I've also really learned how to put my pen down and trust him.

855
00:55:50.500 --> 00:55:52.320
And another thing, didn't you?

856
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:54.360
But didn't you get physically healed too?

857
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:55.320
Yes.

858
00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:55.760
Yeah.

859
00:55:56.080 --> 00:56:00.800
And that, and that, that came, that came through the soul ties and, and, and.

860
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:05.520
Unexpectedly watching that video thinking I don't have soul ties and realizing that

861
00:56:05.520 --> 00:56:11.920
it was towards a doctor that had done a procedure wrong on me and, and I was, and

862
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:14.120
I was released and can hike now everything.

863
00:56:14.560 --> 00:56:18.080
Um, so yeah, I can hear that now.

864
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:21.880
I really feel like there's this weight on your physical healing testimony.

865
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.480
People need to understand that your physical ailments, a lot of times

866
00:56:26.520 --> 00:56:29.320
are connected to emotional trauma.

867
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:34.360
Not always, but a lot of times I want you to raise your hand right now.

868
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:40.200
If you have had some sort of physical breakthrough in this group, something

869
00:56:40.200 --> 00:56:43.120
that used to plague you no longer plagues you, you've had some kind of

870
00:56:43.120 --> 00:56:44.760
physical breakthrough, you've had healing.

871
00:56:45.120 --> 00:56:50.280
I remember when Jen red river here on zoom, I remember when she had two

872
00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:54.080
blood clots in her lungs dissolve after a prayer call that the

873
00:56:54.080 --> 00:56:56.240
doctor said were unresolvable.

874
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:57.800
She had all kinds of things.

875
00:56:57.800 --> 00:56:59.320
God's continuing to work in her body.

876
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:02.880
I talked to one of our sisters this morning who was, you know, given a

877
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:09.040
catastrophic health report and the doctor told her that she is 90% healed.

878
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:12.760
Y'all we'll take that and we'll say more Lord, a hundred percent.

879
00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:16.240
Come on, look at all those hands of people that have had physical healings

880
00:57:16.240 --> 00:57:20.800
as a result of this community, all kinds of people, all kinds of people.

881
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:25.560
One of my students had a paralyzed arm and prayed over her on a prayer call

882
00:57:25.600 --> 00:57:27.640
in the dream that she had that night.

883
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:30.640
She met with Jesus and Jesus said, move your arm.

884
00:57:30.640 --> 00:57:31.840
She said, I can't, it's paralyzed.

885
00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:32.720
He said, try again.

886
00:57:32.720 --> 00:57:34.800
And in the dream, she tried again and she could move it.

887
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:36.400
And she woke up healed.

888
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:41.240
She no longer had a paralyzed arm and she no longer does to this day.

889
00:57:42.240 --> 00:57:46.280
So this is what happens on these kinds of prayer calls and praise the Lord.

890
00:57:46.600 --> 00:57:47.000
All right.

891
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:50.080
So remember to wrap it up.

892
00:57:50.200 --> 00:57:56.040
Remember not everything that is going on in your life, you can take it face value.

893
00:57:56.640 --> 00:58:00.080
I'm not trying to get you to see a devil behind every bush, but I am trying to get

894
00:58:00.080 --> 00:58:05.640
you to understand that you are a spirit that lives in a body that possesses a soul.

895
00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:08.600
And so the things that happened to you are always spiritual

896
00:58:08.600 --> 00:58:09.960
because you're not a body.

897
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:11.400
You're a spirit.

898
00:58:11.720 --> 00:58:12.680
You're not a body.

899
00:58:12.680 --> 00:58:13.360
Say it with me.

900
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:14.240
I'm a spirit.

901
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:15.240
I'm not a body.

902
00:58:15.240 --> 00:58:16.080
I'm a spirit.

903
00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:20.640
And so the things that come at me in the natural, they have a supernatural root.

904
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.240
Everything has a supernatural root.

905
00:58:23.520 --> 00:58:27.680
Now, instead of going around and, you know, and rebuking everything, what we do is

906
00:58:27.680 --> 00:58:30.080
we come into alignment in the morning with heaven.

907
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:31.640
We put on that armor.

908
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:36.040
We let our mind take on the mind of Christ, and then we're led and guided.

909
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:39.800
We surrender the things on our Jesus cares board that we cannot handle.

910
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.680
And we are overwhelmed by things where we're confused.

911
00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:43.440
Okay.

912
00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:47.440
Places of chaos where we have no wisdom and no revelation.

913
00:58:47.640 --> 00:58:51.200
And we allow God to lead us to the people that have that breakthrough,

914
00:58:51.520 --> 00:58:56.040
lead us to the right voices, the wise voices, lead us to whatever we need to

915
00:58:56.040 --> 00:58:57.520
be led to, to have that breakthrough.

916
00:58:57.520 --> 00:59:01.840
And sometimes that breakthrough comes without any action on our part at all.

917
00:59:02.120 --> 00:59:03.400
So we surrender those things.

918
00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:04.640
We let God do his part.

919
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.480
And sometimes he will ask us to do a part and sometimes he won't.

920
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:13.000
But that is like living a surrendered life where we're submitting unto God.

921
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:18.600
And the Bible says, submit unto God and resist the devil and he will flee from you.

922
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:20.480
And so, Father, we just thank you today.

923
00:59:21.240 --> 00:59:23.720
We thank you for these truths from heaven.

924
00:59:23.720 --> 00:59:25.160
We thank you that you've met with us.

925
00:59:25.200 --> 00:59:29.000
We thank you that you've given us so many things to ponder in our heart, but

926
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:32.640
you've also given us encouragement and understanding that we are not in this

927
00:59:32.640 --> 00:59:34.560
alone. We are in this with you.

928
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:36.880
And if you are for us, nothing can be against us.

929
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:38.400
But we're also in this together.

930
00:59:38.600 --> 00:59:43.480
So as we lock arms with you and as we lock arms with each other, we pray victory

931
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:45.240
over everyone on this call today.

932
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:50.200
Whatever they need relationally, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

933
00:59:50.520 --> 00:59:51.560
Let them have it.

934
00:59:52.160 --> 00:59:54.000
Be delivered. Be set free.

935
00:59:54.200 --> 00:59:56.400
Be healed. Be enlivened.

936
00:59:56.440 --> 00:59:57.440
Be encouraged.

937
00:59:57.600 --> 00:59:58.520
In Jesus name.

938
00:59:58.760 --> 00:59:59.120
Amen.

939
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.000
Y'all have an amazing Saturday.
