1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
All right, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.680
If you are new to Supernatural Saturday, if you're brand new to the program, you are coming

3
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:12.440
in at such a supernatural time.

4
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:18.200
We are seeing such supernatural progress in people's lives right now in the season.

5
00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:21.200
I like to call it a tipping point when I see it happen.

6
00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:25.160
And it's just so exciting to hear the stories and the testimonies that are coming in.

7
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.960
And so you are right on time, you are in congruence and convergence to what God has for your life.

8
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.720
And what we do on Saturdays is we just celebrate that.

9
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:35.040
We look to heaven.

10
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:37.120
We ask God, hey, what are you up to?

11
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.800
What can we partner with you on?

12
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.080
What can we come into agreement with?

13
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:46.600
So Saturday is a time of not just agreement with heaven, but what is that current prophetic

14
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.920
reality over our lives and over this community?

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.800
And so that's what we do on Saturdays.

16
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:56.880
So Father God, we're so thankful that we get to come together again and we get to get into

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.240
that lane with you.

18
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.080
Whatever lane you're in, whatever you're doing, we're calling shotgun this morning.

19
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:06.720
We're asking you to help us to be willing, to be made willing in this day of your power,

20
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:10.800
in this day of your breakthrough, to volunteer, to be part of that.

21
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:12.240
And so Lord, we thank you.

22
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:16.520
We ask that all of our hearts would be open, our ears and eyes and spirits would receive

23
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:17.520
in Jesus name.

24
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:18.520
Amen.

25
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:19.520
All right.

26
00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:23.120
So what was on my heart this morning, and it came from an old video.

27
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.200
You guys have been doing this for a long time.

28
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.520
And sometimes I don't even remember how long I've been doing what I do until Facebook reminds

29
00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:31.520
me.

30
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:32.520
Anybody else?

31
00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:35.760
You have like little Facebook memories that pop up and you're like, oh, wow, I've been

32
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.880
saying this for 20 years, or I've been saying this for 15 years, or I've been talking to

33
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.560
people about their love lives for, you know, this long or that long, or talking to people

34
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.560
about God's promises over their lives for decades.

35
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:53.280
And so I used to do a show called The Wake Up Call with Jackie, your daily dose of curd

36
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.560
tope and faith.

37
00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.400
And I feel like that's going to be coming at you soon from a podcast near you again.

38
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.880
But right now, I saw a video from one of those wake up calls, and it reminded me of a very

39
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.220
important truth.

40
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:10.960
And I felt like God's like, hey, share that.

41
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.800
Share that on Supernatural Saturday.

42
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.720
So I'm going to share for a few minutes, and then Bethany is going to take over and activating

43
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:20.880
some of that with you guys this morning.

44
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.840
I think it's really important not just to hear the word, but to activate it.

45
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.800
And that's why if you're new, we have a full time of activation on Sunday evenings.

46
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.280
In fact, that's what I called Sunday activation.

47
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.720
And so if you want to activate more, then please join us tomorrow at 8pm Eastern.

48
00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.520
That is not a recorded session.

49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.280
So because it's meant to be a time of breakouts.

50
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.040
And so hopefully, that is the model that we continue to follow.

51
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:48.480
All right.

52
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.520
So what is the word?

53
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.400
What is the thing that God reminded me is even more true today than it was when I released

54
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.040
it back then, which I think was about six or seven years ago.

55
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.040
Okay.

56
00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:04.560
And that is that we have to prepare for the promised land.

57
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.840
If you wanted a title for today's Supernatural Saturday, we have to prepare for the promised

58
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:09.840
land.

59
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.320
You guys, the promised land is not an if, it's just a when.

60
00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:16.240
It's not an if.

61
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.560
And God took his people out of bondage, out of slavery, out of Egypt.

62
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.280
And you guys, we all have an Egypt.

63
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.840
We all have an Egypt in our lives.

64
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.240
Lots of us have lots of Egypt in our lives, right?

65
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.120
It's like we're headed towards something new.

66
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.340
And then boom, we're back in Egypt, like, hey, how did I get here?

67
00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.200
So we all have lots of Egypt, right?

68
00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.280
But when he is taking his people, he heard their cries, he saw their oppression, he delivered

69
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:48.800
them out of bondage, out of barrenness, out of lack, out of scarcity, out of orphan mentalities

70
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.240
and slave mentalities and, you know, all of those things.

71
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.320
When he did that, he had a plan.

72
00:03:55.320 --> 00:03:56.320
God had a plan.

73
00:03:56.320 --> 00:03:57.320
God always has a plan.

74
00:03:57.320 --> 00:03:58.960
And here's the good news for you guys.

75
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:04.560
Jeremiah tells us, and we quote it all the time, God says, I know the plans I have for

76
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.560
you.

77
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.680
Remember the word plans in that verse is plural.

78
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.800
It's not I know the plan I have for you.

79
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.000
It's I know the plans I have for you.

80
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.280
Why is that important?

81
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.399
Because we mess up God's plan all the time.

82
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.079
We zig instead of zag.

83
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.760
We go left instead of right.

84
00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:22.880
We think we know better.

85
00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:24.080
We hear the word of the Lord.

86
00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:25.320
He tells us to do something.

87
00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:26.320
We only do it halfway.

88
00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.920
I mean, he knows what we're made of, which is pretty much dirt, okay?

89
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.940
His word says that he sees the frailty of our form.

90
00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:40.760
He knows that this flesh is always trying to pull us in the wrong directions.

91
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.040
He knows that fear that tries to constantly dog our steps, you guys, the biggest enemy

92
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.280
that we have on earth is the opposite of love.

93
00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:50.400
God is love.

94
00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:54.840
We've been made for love, by love, to love.

95
00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:59.480
And the issue is, is that fear, which is the opposite of love, not hate, fear.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.640
Hate is just a byproduct of fear, right?

97
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:08.520
Fear is constantly trying to get us to not do the things

98
00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:11.640
that God is inviting us into.

99
00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:12.920
He's not telling us to do it.

100
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.280
I need you to get rid of that kind of mindset.

101
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.280
God invites you.

102
00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:21.440
He's constantly inviting you, and guess what?

103
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:25.040
If you turn down an invitation, there will be another one.

104
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.960
Now, I don't say that to help you to be apathetic,

105
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.400
but I want to remind you that God has plans.

106
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.120
Now, they're not all gonna look the same,

107
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.400
and it is true that if we turn down one invitation,

108
00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:40.200
the next invitation may be

109
00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:42.240
to take a totally different course.

110
00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:45.160
You know, David and I were talking about this yesterday.

111
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.160
We're talking about the divorce of his parents.

112
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.240
His dad is 84 years old this year.

113
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.600
They've been divorced since he was three years old.

114
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.160
His dad was in the Air Force.

115
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.200
He was, you know, full-time in the Air Force.

116
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.960
His mom didn't like that life.

117
00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:00.520
This is back in the 70s when everyone was getting divorced.

118
00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:03.360
His mom was not a believer, and she just left his dad.

119
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.120
She's like, I don't want this Air Force life.

120
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.080
So she took her three-year-old David, and she left,

121
00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:08.200
and she married another man,

122
00:06:08.200 --> 00:06:10.200
and she moved and had a little suburban life

123
00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:11.280
in the Midwest.

124
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.680
But, you know, he never remarried David's father,

125
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.240
and at 84 years old, he told my husband a couple days ago,

126
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:19.960
you know, I still love your mother.

127
00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:23.040
That's heartbreaking.

128
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.520
But, you know, she didn't know Jesus.

129
00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:26.600
She took a different course.

130
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:27.600
She took a different road.

131
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.200
There was a detour in the road, and she took it.

132
00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:32.920
Right?

133
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.920
But David and I began to talk about, you know,

134
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.800
what would have happened had all the people

135
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.440
that come before us made different decisions.

136
00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:41.520
What would that have looked like?

137
00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:42.840
What would have my life looked like

138
00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:45.200
if I hadn't been raised on the, you know,

139
00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:48.640
on the plains of the Serengeti by the wolves?

140
00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:50.320
You know, what would have happened

141
00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:52.920
if David's parents would have stayed together?

142
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.680
You know, and the truth is,

143
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.760
is that David and I probably would not have met.

144
00:06:56.760 --> 00:06:59.400
We probably wouldn't be living this current reality,

145
00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:01.800
and someone has to get ahold of that,

146
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.600
because that's where Romans 828 comes into play,

147
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.000
where God works all things to the good, right?

148
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.400
Yeah, it is kind of like when we were kids

149
00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:12.960
in those choose-your-own-adventures books.

150
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:16.800
There is going to be a different adventure based on choices.

151
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.640
There is.

152
00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:19.960
But the good news is that God

153
00:07:19.960 --> 00:07:21.800
always has a new good plan for you

154
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.560
if you're willing to turn away from your plan

155
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.080
and turn towards his.

156
00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:28.200
And there's always gonna be an invitation

157
00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:31.480
until your last breath on earth to go God's way,

158
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.280
to experience his reality for your life,

159
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:36.240
which is what?

160
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.360
John 1010, abundance, overflow, goodness,

161
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.880
blessed to be a blessing, peace, prosperity.

162
00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:45.320
I know people hate that.

163
00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:47.720
You know, Jerry Savelle just passed away,

164
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.000
and I love, love, love his daughter,

165
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.360
and I love her ministry,

166
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.920
and, you know, she had a good daddy,

167
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.280
and she is mourning her father.

168
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.520
And for all of you that had good earthly fathers,

169
00:07:56.520 --> 00:07:59.880
be blessed because that is few and far between.

170
00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:04.240
But I was looking at the tributes that were up,

171
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.920
and the Christian Post did an article,

172
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.040
and it kind of was like a,

173
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:10.920
it was a tribute,

174
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.760
but then it was like a bashing at the end

175
00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:13.800
because it was talking about

176
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.760
how he was a prosperity preacher and blah, blah, blah.

177
00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:19.080
And then it quoted someone who literally,

178
00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:21.400
I felt like saying, who's this person you're quoting?

179
00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:22.400
I've never heard of them.

180
00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:23.920
They're insignificant.

181
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.080
What they're saying means nothing,

182
00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:28.080
but this person that you're, you know,

183
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:32.280
allowing them to bash has changed so many lives,

184
00:08:32.280 --> 00:08:34.880
and his name is synonymous with, you know,

185
00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:37.760
obviously family and being a good father

186
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:41.080
and being someone who preached in 3,500 churches,

187
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.919
revival and, you know, why?

188
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.440
Because of the word prosperity.

189
00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:47.320
Oh, it's a prosperity preacher.

190
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.200
Well, I just want to let you know,

191
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.320
God wants you to prosper.

192
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.760
He wants you to prosper.

193
00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:53.520
Does that mean like wearing a Rolex

194
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.640
and driving a Lambo and living in a mansion?

195
00:08:55.640 --> 00:08:58.520
No, that's not what the word prosper means.

196
00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:00.960
It means that you would be abundant,

197
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.560
that you would overflow.

198
00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:05.760
And anyone who says that the gospel

199
00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:07.160
is not a prosperity gospel,

200
00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:08.440
they didn't read it right.

201
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:12.800
It doesn't do your father in heaven

202
00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:16.600
any good for you to be in scarcity and in lack.

203
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:19.680
The problem is,

204
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:21.480
is that we live there because of our mindsets.

205
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.480
And we see this in the story of the people

206
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.600
that were coming out of slavery and bondage,

207
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.000
and God was taking them to a land that was what?

208
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.480
Overflowing, isn't that what the word of God says?

209
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.080
Overflowing with things, you know,

210
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.280
we're like milk and honey, okay, who wants that?

211
00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:41.280
Well, back then those were examples of prosperity, right?

212
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:44.560
Those are typologies

213
00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:49.840
of there being an abundance of good things.

214
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.480
And God wants that for us.

215
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.120
He wants that for each and every one of us

216
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:54.600
in our lives.

217
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.320
And yes, it's gonna look different on all of us,

218
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.400
but at the same time, that's what God wants for us.

219
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:00.240
So he's.

220
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.920
telling his people, hey, I'm going to take you to this thing.

221
00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.840
But remember, they've never seen this thing.

222
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.800
And that's a lot of us.

223
00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.200
You've never seen a good marriage.

224
00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:09.880
You've never seen a good marriage in your whole life.

225
00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:14.960
Hey, you've never seen the things that, you know, God has promised you in your

226
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.680
dreams or promised you in the words that you've received.

227
00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:21.080
And, and because of that, you dream up what it looks like yourself.

228
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.080
And a lot of times, most of the time, whatever it is that you're dreaming

229
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.560
up, it's really inferior to what God has for you and what's going to show

230
00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:33.200
up to fulfill the promise that God has in your life.

231
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.960
A lot of times it's not going to look the way you expect it.

232
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.520
Q children of Israel get to the border of the promised land.

233
00:10:40.520 --> 00:10:43.280
And they're like, Oh no, there's giants in here.

234
00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:45.880
Right.

235
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:53.440
I mean, literally you guys, God just parted a whole fricking sea for them.

236
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.960
Drowned Pharaoh's army caused them to have water coming out of rocks and

237
00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:02.960
food falling from the sky, but yet no.

238
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:06.640
But here's the thing.

239
00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:07.720
I don't want to get into that.

240
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.840
Cause we all do that.

241
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.960
We are like, we all, we all forget what God's done for us in the past or what

242
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.160
God's done right in front of our face for other people.

243
00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:16.840
And we all doubt and we all get into fear.

244
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.520
Cause once again, it's that frailty of our flesh.

245
00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:20.360
That's what it is.

246
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.120
And it's always going to be with us.

247
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:27.880
Even Paul said, Oh, this flesh, when am I going to be free of it?

248
00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:28.400
Right?

249
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.400
So the thing that I really want to talk to you today about is that how to

250
00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:39.680
prepare for that promised land, how to prepare for it, how do we do that?

251
00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:40.960
What do we need to do?

252
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.360
It's going to be an individual thing.

253
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.240
And you're going to have to start asking the Lord about that for yourself

254
00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:51.040
because it's not an, if you guys, it is just a, when it's just a, when at the

255
00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:54.080
other day at the grocery store, I saw the front of a magazine and I snapped a

256
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.040
picture of it and it just said, I fell in love when I least expected it.

257
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.640
And the reason why I'm using love as the fruition of your promises this morning

258
00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:04.200
is because so many of you, you know, that is the uppermost thing on your

259
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:05.920
heart is that you want your partner.

260
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.880
Now, Holy Spirit might speak to you about something completely different

261
00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:11.320
today that you need to prepare for.

262
00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:15.520
Something completely different today that, you know, is eminent and is going

263
00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:19.600
to be the first thing, the first promise fulfilled in your life before the partner.

264
00:12:19.640 --> 00:12:21.520
And we have that happen so often.

265
00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:24.160
We just had a marriage from within this community.

266
00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:28.040
And I know that God fulfilled a lot of other promises in both of their lives

267
00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:29.680
before he brought them together to partner.

268
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.600
And so that definitely happens.

269
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.960
So the first thing that we have to remember is that the relationship

270
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.680
with God is the most important thing.

271
00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:40.600
Got to keep the main thing, the main thing, right?

272
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.160
We're not looking for another person to fill the God shaped hole.

273
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:43.840
We're not.

274
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:45.800
Okay.

275
00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:48.480
And at the same time, we're not, you know, thinking that we're

276
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.360
married to Jesus on earth because we're not.

277
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:52.720
Okay.

278
00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:55.640
There's a, there's a tension that you have to hold between those two things.

279
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.160
God is source, but he is the head of the human resource department.

280
00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:02.480
And he does want to send people into your life for all different reasons

281
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200
to bring the healing that you need.

282
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.880
So the first thing that we have to remember is that we have to

283
00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:10.120
keep the main thing, the main thing.

284
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.040
Don't forget God.

285
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.000
In fact, write this down in your notes.

286
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.520
Remember God.

287
00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:17.320
Remember God.

288
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.760
Oftentimes when people have been single for a long time, or, you know, maybe

289
00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:25.760
even just a short time, but you're the kind of person who just only, uh, get

290
00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:28.760
your little love tank filled by another human being, when you get into

291
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:34.600
relationship, you start to get kind of dull spiritually, and I'm just going to

292
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:40.240
tell you, marriage is the wild, wild West in 2024, if you don't have that

293
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:45.400
threefold cord, you're probably not going to stay married, so it's important

294
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.760
for you to have that foundation of trust and relationship with God.

295
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.280
Yes.

296
00:13:49.280 --> 00:13:52.640
Your relationship with God is going to grow when you meet your spirit mate.

297
00:13:52.640 --> 00:13:53.080
Why?

298
00:13:53.280 --> 00:13:56.520
Because you're going to see a whole new element of God through this

299
00:13:56.520 --> 00:14:00.160
person, a whole new level of love, of grace, of mercy, you know,

300
00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.760
that's what it should look like.

301
00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:05.480
You should feel even more loved and seen and known by God, um,

302
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.920
through the person that you marry.

303
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.440
It's not going to all be rainbows and butterflies, but it is going to be that

304
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:15.360
type of refining that makes us better and draws us closer to each other and to God.

305
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.440
So remember God, whatever you have to do in your life right now, if your life

306
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.920
right now is just you running around, you know, with a tarantula hanging

307
00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:25.360
off your butt, trying to survive.

308
00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:27.640
If that's what your life looks like right now, that's what's

309
00:14:27.640 --> 00:14:28.880
going to look like in marriage.

310
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.440
Right?

311
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:34.440
If you haven't learned how to go to God with your needs, your Jesus cares

312
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.520
board, for those of you that are still in heartwork, haven't heard about that

313
00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:39.920
yet, you're going to hear about it.

314
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.600
You guys, that is a activation of a lifestyle.

315
00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:47.120
It's not just a cute little craft project that we do in this program.

316
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.760
It's an activation of a lifestyle.

317
00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:53.240
You have not been created or designed to carry your own burden.

318
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.760
You can't carry it.

319
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.160
Other people can carry it for you and you can give it to God.

320
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.040
Those are the two things in the word of God.

321
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.000
that talk about what you should do with those heavy burdens, right?

322
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:15.280
So the next thing is, is that we have to remember not to accept a counterfeit.

323
00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:19.120
In the book of Numbers, you guys, if you go and read it, it talks a lot about the exodus

324
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.120
to the promised land.

325
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.880
It talks a lot about the instructions and like the little nitty gritty details of what

326
00:15:23.880 --> 00:15:28.400
happened in that story that I started this call out with.

327
00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:31.600
And one of the things that I don't think a lot of people see is that there were a group

328
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.020
of people that when they got to the banks of the Jordan, they actually, because they

329
00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:40.600
had brought a lot of livestock with them, they were like, hey, this is really good land

330
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.600
right here.

331
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.440
So why don't you all go ahead and go ahead into the promised land and we'll just stay

332
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.440
here.

333
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.440
This will be our land.

334
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:47.660
We'll stay here.

335
00:15:47.660 --> 00:15:52.440
They were willing to stay on the other side, y'all.

336
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.440
They were willing to stay on the other side.

337
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.120
And there are probably a couple different reasons.

338
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.640
Oh, you know, this is good enough.

339
00:15:57.640 --> 00:15:58.640
Yeah, this looks good.

340
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:00.760
All right, we'll take this.

341
00:16:00.760 --> 00:16:03.880
This is here, you know, that's there.

342
00:16:03.880 --> 00:16:04.880
This is here.

343
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:05.880
It's right now.

344
00:16:05.880 --> 00:16:08.360
A lot of times we don't want to wait for something good.

345
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.640
Who here will admit that you've, you know, instead of going home where you know that

346
00:16:11.640 --> 00:16:15.640
you went grocery shopping and there's some good whole foods in your fridge, you pull

347
00:16:15.640 --> 00:16:21.640
through Taco Bell because you just can't wait, right?

348
00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:32.520
And then you regret it later because there's a reason why Taco Bell has 99 cent anything.

349
00:16:32.520 --> 00:16:33.880
So this is what these people were doing.

350
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:36.280
They're like, oh, we'll just stay here.

351
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:39.480
And then the other reason is, is that it's hard.

352
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.760
There's giants in the land.

353
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:43.560
There's all these things.

354
00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:46.400
And so we're not going to accept a counterfeit just because it's easier.

355
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:49.580
We're not going to do that in any area of your life, not just your love life, in any

356
00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:50.580
area of your life.

357
00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:52.940
We're not going to settle for less.

358
00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:56.440
And for those of you that, you know, you still got some hard work to do, you might hear something

359
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.180
different right now than what I'm saying.

360
00:16:58.180 --> 00:17:01.260
You might hear that, oh, this person has to have all my list items.

361
00:17:01.260 --> 00:17:04.300
No, your list items are based on your own broken heart.

362
00:17:04.300 --> 00:17:09.180
And as you continue to unpack that, the non-negotiables from heaven will be the things that are left.

363
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.180
And then that's all.

364
00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:13.339
So we're not going to forget our history.

365
00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:14.339
We're not going to forget God.

366
00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:18.660
We're not going to forget where we've come from and what God's done for us.

367
00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:22.420
And we get whatever it is that we want in our hot little hands, whatever it is you're

368
00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:26.740
thinking of right now, whatever promise it is, that's uppermost on your heart.

369
00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:32.020
We're not going to be swayed by any kind of counterfeit prosperity before we get there.

370
00:17:32.020 --> 00:17:35.700
We know God's way is the best way and his promises are the best and, you know, they're

371
00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:42.740
not going to show up all the time looking like, you know, sitting in a gold chair being,

372
00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:45.300
you know, fans and eating grapes.

373
00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:46.300
It's not what it looks like.

374
00:17:46.300 --> 00:17:47.900
It's going to look like work.

375
00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:51.100
These relationships that you've been pining away for, they're going to look like work.

376
00:17:51.100 --> 00:17:58.940
There's going to be just as much hard stuff in that than there is going to be good stuff.

377
00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.860
And sometimes the hard stuff is the good stuff.

378
00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:04.020
Some of you that hate process need to know this.

379
00:18:04.020 --> 00:18:08.060
The process is the point.

380
00:18:08.060 --> 00:18:09.060
It is.

381
00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:11.660
The pregnancy is the point.

382
00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:12.660
It is.

383
00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:18.540
God creates the heart that is able to then sustain and steward the promise.

384
00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:21.820
Very important stuff for us all to know.

385
00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:26.380
And then we have to remember, hey, let's not, they were told not to defile the land, right?

386
00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:32.260
Don't bring a bunch of crap here that is going to ruin this opportunity.

387
00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:37.020
And so that's where we have to continue to ask God to show us anything in our heart that

388
00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:42.460
is going to sabotage whatever it is that we've been praying for and promised and waiting

389
00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.980
for and hoping for.

390
00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:47.140
We don't want that.

391
00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:51.540
Yes, there are going to be hard bits no matter what, but we can make it a lot harder and

392
00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:57.500
maybe even make it not happen based on our preparation, right?

393
00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.500
Good news.

394
00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.020
There's another plan, but maybe you just want this plan.

395
00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:02.020
Anybody else?

396
00:19:02.020 --> 00:19:03.940
Anybody else just want this plan?

397
00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:07.860
You don't want to have to wait for another ship to come into port.

398
00:19:07.860 --> 00:19:08.860
Yeah.

399
00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:12.100
And so let's not defile the land.

400
00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:14.260
Let's not bring a bunch of stuff in there.

401
00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:16.900
And you guys, the way we're going to do that is it's going to come into, it's going to

402
00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:18.540
come in our hearts.

403
00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:19.820
That's where we're going to be carrying it.

404
00:19:19.820 --> 00:19:24.500
Those were the suitcases are that we're going to be bringing into whatever it is that we're

405
00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:26.020
invited into.

406
00:19:26.020 --> 00:19:27.100
Okay.

407
00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:30.220
Whether it's the relationship that you've been waiting for, whether it's that job promotion

408
00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:34.380
you've been waiting for, because with everything that you want, there comes some ick.

409
00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:36.060
Remember, there was giants in the land.

410
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:39.260
There's going to be some ick in everything.

411
00:19:39.260 --> 00:19:41.060
Some of you millennials need to write that down.

412
00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:48.220
The guy that I am waiting for has some icks.

413
00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:51.540
That's a very young person thing to say.

414
00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:55.100
And a lot of people are letting their icks sabotage things.

415
00:19:55.100 --> 00:19:56.860
And so let's not do that.

416
00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:58.580
So we need to take a look.

417
00:19:58.580 --> 00:20:00.180
We need to let God put that.

418
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.520
magnifying glass on with us and take a look at what's still what's still

419
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:11.200
squatting in your heart. Where are the squatters? Fear squatting in there?

420
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.240
Is unforgiveness, is bitterness squatting in there? Look, if you have unforgiveness

421
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.320
or bitterness towards a former spouse, if you don't think that that's going to get

422
00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:24.880
applied to your new spouse sooner or later, you're wrong. You're wrong. The

423
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.400
second that they do something that subconsciously reminds you of what the

424
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:32.000
other person did, even if it's just your perspective and not even a real thing,

425
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.960
you're gonna start telling yourself a really nasty story

426
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:42.320
that's going to cause disconnection. So these are important things, you guys. And

427
00:20:42.320 --> 00:20:45.360
I think for some of you, this is just residue we're talking about. This is not

428
00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:51.440
big things that we're moving out. You know, you've moved a lot of stuff out of

429
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.000
the house. You've taken a lot of stuff to the Goodwill. You've dropped it off. You've

430
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.640
done the things in your heart, but there's just some sweeping that needs to

431
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.440
be done right now, right? There's just a little dusting.

432
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.560
There's just a little more. And some of you, you haven't

433
00:21:07.560 --> 00:21:10.800
even started. Your heart looks like an episode of Hoarders, and that's all right.

434
00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:15.040
We're here to help you. You're brand new. We're gonna help you get it done at an

435
00:21:15.040 --> 00:21:18.960
accelerated pace. So we're looking to God always. We're not forgetting our history.

436
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.320
We're not forgetting God. We're remembering God. We're not defiling the

437
00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:25.600
land by bringing a bunch of stuff in. We're not going to be swayed by any

438
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:31.480
counterfeit opportunities. We're not going to do any of that stuff. And the

439
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.880
other thing that we're going to do is, we're going to, what did he, what's the

440
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.680
instruction that he gave when they came into the land? He said, hey, all of these,

441
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:45.680
all of these other inhabitants of the land, they have to go, right? They can't

442
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:51.760
stay. All the Ites, right? The Perizzites and the Amicalites and the Hebusites and

443
00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:55.480
what can go on and on and on. And I can mispronounce every one of them on this

444
00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:03.520
call this morning for your enjoyment, but they got to go. They can't stay. And those

445
00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:06.760
represent all kinds of different things in our lives. And you guys, sometimes they

446
00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:11.240
disrepresent opportunities and people and situations and relationships that

447
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:17.160
have way outlived their time in our lives. So many people really have a

448
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:23.320
problem pruning and you got to do it. You got to prune. You have to prune. You

449
00:22:23.320 --> 00:22:28.360
can't have everything all at the same time. And you guys, some of the things

450
00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:31.840
that you're going to prune are going to be good things. I'm sure that not all, I

451
00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:34.920
mean, all these people were pagans in the land, but you know, I'm sure that there

452
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.960
were some good elements of some of the things like, hey, you know, if I let this,

453
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.640
this, this, this group of people stay, you know, they're really good at this and

454
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.400
they could teach us how to do this or this could happen or that could happen.

455
00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:48.400
I'm sure that some of the things that you're going to

456
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:54.800
forget to be things that you're like, yeah, I really liked that

457
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.560
in its season. And yeah, there's still some benefit left in it, but does it lead

458
00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:04.520
you to where you want to go?

459
00:23:06.320 --> 00:23:11.560
Your, your main, main commodity, your main resource that all of us have is time.

460
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.200
And so for a lot of you, it's just simply, you have a lot of time sucks in

461
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:21.200
your life. And I run into this all the time in any kind of private coaching that

462
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.680
I do is that someone tells me that they want something, but then I look at their

463
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:28.720
schedule and I'm like, do you really want it? Because your, your schedule does not

464
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:33.400
tell me that you want it. How are you going to fit it in here? You obviously

465
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:38.280
don't have a really good idea of how much time it takes to do whatever it is

466
00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:42.800
they're telling me X, Y, Z, and you guys relationships are going to have to be a

467
00:23:42.800 --> 00:23:45.760
main priority. And they take a lot of time.

468
00:23:47.760 --> 00:23:51.680
If you're going to do them, right. In fact, a lot of you all are divorced here

469
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.480
today because someone didn't make you a priority.

470
00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:58.200
Right.

471
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.120
You're divorced here today because someone didn't do this list that I'm saying

472
00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:03.400
right now.

473
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:09.200
They defiled the land.

474
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.320
They did all the things

475
00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:14.520
I'm a right.

476
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.680
All right. So we're going to have fun today with this list. You might even add

477
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:25.240
a few things to it while I'm gone. But I have to jump off today. Bethany is going

478
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.680
to take over and you guys are going to be able to share and process and do all

479
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:36.720
the things. And I just want to tell all of you that I really believe all my heart

480
00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.320
or not.

481
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:38.640
Her last name or mine.

482
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.080
I believe with all of my heart that the reason why this message is coming right

483
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:50.040
now is because it's of the utmost importance because we're at the Jordan

484
00:24:51.080 --> 00:24:55.560
and a lot of good, good things are going to happen in the year 2024. Right. So

485
00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:57.360
bless you guys. And I'll see you soon.

486
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.040
So

487
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.000
Oh, powerful, so powerful, man.

488
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.580
There's so many truth points.

489
00:25:03.580 --> 00:25:04.360
I'm going to pray.

490
00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:06.840
And then we're going to just start to lean into this word that

491
00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:08.400
Jackie has released over us.

492
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.720
And as Jackie said, just as we continue to activate and process in these areas,

493
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.680
I want to encourage you guys, you know, there's several different points there.

494
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.320
They can all speak and minister to us.

495
00:25:17.320 --> 00:25:19.120
I want to see you start putting into the chat.

496
00:25:19.120 --> 00:25:20.820
I want you to start engaging with this word.

497
00:25:20.820 --> 00:25:25.280
Like what is the, what's the area that's speaking to you the most right now today.

498
00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:29.600
And that you'll continue to process this word as the weeks go on and let

499
00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:33.160
God continue to speak to you in this word and revisit it.

500
00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:36.920
One of the things I've learned the most over the last several years is that,

501
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.920
you know, we can hear a word and get massive revelation that day and

502
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.720
then walk away and forget it.

503
00:25:43.780 --> 00:25:45.020
And not even go back to it.

504
00:25:45.020 --> 00:25:47.360
So I want to encourage you guys to don't do that.

505
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.080
Go back to this word, revisit it and let God continue to speak to you.

506
00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:53.800
So father, we just thank you for this amazing, incredible word.

507
00:25:54.040 --> 00:25:57.320
We thank you for the freedom that it's going to bring today.

508
00:25:57.320 --> 00:25:59.320
And in the days to come, we thank you, God.

509
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.320
For the time of preparation for the time of remembering you, God, first and

510
00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:09.840
foremost, keeping you at the center, God, the time of not accepting counterfeit,

511
00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:13.720
not accepting the things that the enemy is sending that look good.

512
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:17.200
That looks similar to where you're leading, but aren't the true thing.

513
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:22.320
We thank you God for reminding us to not allow the land that you're leading us

514
00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:27.920
into, to get defiled by our own issues, by squatters that we allow to remain in

515
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.520
our hearts and Lord help us to know the areas that we need to remember to prune

516
00:26:33.520 --> 00:26:37.480
and let go and allow you to transform us from the inside out.

517
00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:41.800
So Lord, I pray that you would make this word very real to every person

518
00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:45.600
that's here today live, as well as those that will hear the replay, help us to

519
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:50.280
lean in and hear what your heart is saying to us today in Jesus name.

520
00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:53.200
So would love for somebody, um, we're going to open it up.

521
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.400
I want to hear from you guys.

522
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.740
Let's talk about this word.

523
00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:58.500
What is God speaking to some of you?

524
00:26:58.540 --> 00:27:02.060
Um, and we'll kind of just, we'll, we'll follow the Holy spirit and

525
00:27:02.060 --> 00:27:03.580
just see what else he wants to do.

526
00:27:03.660 --> 00:27:05.380
Who wants to go first?

527
00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:15.780
Bethany, I'll go first.

528
00:27:15.860 --> 00:27:22.580
Um, I just was really ministered to when she said, are you willing to stay on

529
00:27:22.580 --> 00:27:28.820
the other side and just camp out there, um, without doing the full work that

530
00:27:28.820 --> 00:27:33.020
God is requiring, because a lot of us know that when we get into that personal

531
00:27:33.020 --> 00:27:39.420
relationship, he's calling us to go further than we would want to go.

532
00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:45.540
Um, and it's oftentimes work that's very intimidating and it is full of fear.

533
00:27:45.540 --> 00:27:49.340
And a lot of times I know myself I've camped out in that.

534
00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:56.900
And I just want to turn from that and just do the full work, um, that he, he is

535
00:27:56.900 --> 00:28:02.540
requiring so that I am fully ready for that, that mate.

536
00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:06.420
Yes, Mary, that's so good.

537
00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.780
Who else can relate to Mary?

538
00:28:07.780 --> 00:28:10.940
Like, you're just feeling like you want to go into the promised land, but you

539
00:28:10.940 --> 00:28:16.460
keep camping out waiting on the other side because you're just not sure.

540
00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:18.340
Let's just, let's call it what it is.

541
00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:20.980
You're not sure if God's going to come through for you.

542
00:28:22.820 --> 00:28:27.460
You're not sure if you, if you actually take that step to go into the promised

543
00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:33.220
land, is he going to fulfill the promises that are attached to the process?

544
00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:35.460
And that's what Jackie's talking about.

545
00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:40.340
All that fear, you guys remember she said, you know, fear is all, it's all

546
00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:43.340
connected to all those frailties in our flesh.

547
00:28:44.020 --> 00:28:49.740
So fear also, if you guys take time to look at it, as you remember back to

548
00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:52.700
heartwork, there's lies associated and connected to it.

549
00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:54.780
So what lies are you believing?

550
00:28:54.780 --> 00:29:02.300
Are we believing that keep us in this place of camping out this place of not

551
00:29:02.300 --> 00:29:06.180
really believe in that God's going to give me the blessing that I see him

552
00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:14.820
doing in other people's lives, justifying the continuing to put ourself on the

553
00:29:14.820 --> 00:29:16.540
shelf or, or say, you know what?

554
00:29:16.580 --> 00:29:18.260
I can't, I can't go forward yet.

555
00:29:18.260 --> 00:29:19.980
Cause I need to analyze this other area.

556
00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:23.900
I need to, I need to, you know, make sure this thing's in line and all of those

557
00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:26.660
things are good as long as they don't keep us in bondage.

558
00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:29.620
Yep.

559
00:29:31.260 --> 00:29:33.940
Somebody needs to get rid of their list today.

560
00:29:34.580 --> 00:29:35.540
You need to get rid of your list.

561
00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:36.460
Who else wants to share it?

562
00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:38.300
Let's keep processing this.

563
00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:39.500
That was really great, Mary.

564
00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:41.700
Yeah, I'll share Bethany.

565
00:29:41.780 --> 00:29:48.780
Hey guys I think, well, so much of this hit home for me, but the one about making

566
00:29:48.820 --> 00:29:55.540
sure that the relationship with God is the main thing and you know, it's in

567
00:29:55.540 --> 00:29:57.540
scripture, remember the works of the Lord.

568
00:29:57.540 --> 00:29:59.940
And, and I guess this kind of goes back even to.

569
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.280
We were just saying that we're camping out on the other side,

570
00:30:02.280 --> 00:30:04.440
and that's where familiarity is, perhaps.

571
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.000
But for me, as a single mom, it's

572
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.520
like I'm just for so long conditioned

573
00:30:10.520 --> 00:30:14.280
to have to do everything on my own

574
00:30:14.280 --> 00:30:20.240
that God isn't and hasn't always been the first place that I go.

575
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.320
And even just recently with this,

576
00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:24.880
the heart work that we're doing and the hope, and I had hope.

577
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.640
And I would ask for some things, and he actually gave it to me.

578
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.680
And then by the third thing I was asking for,

579
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.280
which was I have some surgery on my eyes, some things going on,

580
00:30:33.280 --> 00:30:35.720
and I'm like, am I even allowed to ask?

581
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.440
And I'm like, yes, yes, I need.

582
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.320
I'm allowed to ask these things.

583
00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:43.600
And he has, I just had to come back to that scripture,

584
00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:48.360
remember the works of the Lord, and to say, hey,

585
00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:49.360
these are the things.

586
00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:52.320
And it's just such a process, because like I said,

587
00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:53.800
I'm just not used to that.

588
00:30:53.800 --> 00:30:55.960
I'm used to just relying on myself, and not

589
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.280
even other people, so just totally on me.

590
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.600
All right, I know this is speaking to some people.

591
00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:06.200
How many of you don't think you can actually

592
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:09.040
ask for what you want?

593
00:31:09.040 --> 00:31:12.560
Not just what you need, but what you want.

594
00:31:12.560 --> 00:31:13.320
Let's see.

595
00:31:13.320 --> 00:31:15.600
How many people are afraid to actually ask God

596
00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:20.000
for what you want?

597
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.080
I don't know that I'm afraid to ask for it.

598
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.600
I've struggled with the unbelief and doubt

599
00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:28.080
that he will truly give it to me.

600
00:31:28.080 --> 00:31:29.880
Right, so that's connected to where

601
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.120
we were just kind of packing through on our way through.

602
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:35.600
So lean into that a little bit more for those of you

603
00:31:35.600 --> 00:31:38.600
that can relate to what Janine just said.

604
00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:42.880
So often, again, it goes back to what Jackie was saying too.

605
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.040
If we have orphan beliefs and limiting mindsets

606
00:31:46.040 --> 00:31:49.520
that we live in, or we don't even mean to camp out there,

607
00:31:49.520 --> 00:31:51.040
you all, we don't.

608
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.440
It's just that we don't have revelation yet

609
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:57.080
in the area that we need it so that we can walk

610
00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:58.880
into the fullness and the abundant life

611
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.440
that God wants to give us.

612
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:02.160
So some of you that you're like,

613
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.080
I'm trying everything I know to do,

614
00:32:04.080 --> 00:32:06.240
but I still am struggling to believe

615
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.560
that God is gonna come through for me.

616
00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:11.520
I would encourage you to ask the Lord,

617
00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:14.600
like where are those orphan mentalities

618
00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:17.160
and limiting beliefs coming from?

619
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.360
Because they're coming from somewhere.

620
00:32:19.360 --> 00:32:21.440
A lot of times they're rooted in abandonment

621
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.880
and rejection that happened when we were young.

622
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.680
Sometimes it can even happen as we're growing older

623
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.080
because those wounds when we were younger

624
00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:31.280
aren't resolved and healed.

625
00:32:31.280 --> 00:32:33.880
And so as we're older and other things happen

626
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:35.720
that kind of feel familiar,

627
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.560
kind of like Jackie was talking about,

628
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.600
when you get into marriage, it's so true you all,

629
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:44.800
how many times, like if you don't deal with old stuff

630
00:32:44.800 --> 00:32:48.360
from former spouses, how easy and quick the enemy

631
00:32:48.360 --> 00:32:50.720
will try to come in and trigger you

632
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:52.920
to make you think that even though some,

633
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.520
the person now is totally different,

634
00:32:55.520 --> 00:32:59.080
to make you believe that what they're saying or doing

635
00:32:59.080 --> 00:33:01.760
is exactly like the other person.

636
00:33:01.760 --> 00:33:04.240
But you have to separate the character.

637
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:05.760
There's a difference.

638
00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:08.360
But so many times we let the triggering lead,

639
00:33:08.360 --> 00:33:10.960
keep us from receiving the truth

640
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:12.960
that the people are different, that we're different.

641
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.640
And some of you guys are gonna experience this

642
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.840
in dating too, you are.

643
00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:21.160
And so, go ahead, go ahead.

644
00:33:22.120 --> 00:33:25.400
Just yesterday, oh, go ahead.

645
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:26.520
All right, Janine go first.

646
00:33:26.520 --> 00:33:27.360
And then I don't know,

647
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:29.000
I can't tell who else was trying to talk.

648
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.880
It was me, but go ahead, Janine, I'll go after you.

649
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.880
I didn't, just yesterday, I'm in this menopausal state

650
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.360
and I'm exercising, I'm doing pickleball every day

651
00:33:40.360 --> 00:33:44.200
and I'm not getting to my body to where I was.

652
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.960
And just yesterday I had this thought

653
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.240
about how my body wasn't good enough for my husband.

654
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:52.600
And that was one of the reasons why he left me.

655
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.080
And that was, and I was just like, oh gosh,

656
00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:01.200
I realized that that's an underlying fear I have

657
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.040
that my body will not be good enough

658
00:34:03.040 --> 00:34:05.640
for the type of man I'm looking for.

659
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.520
Cause I would like somebody who's physically fit

660
00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:08.880
and everything.

661
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:12.800
And it's just, I had to say, oh Lord, please help me.

662
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.800
And this morning, this message brought it right back.

663
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:20.159
Anna Marie, hold on one sec.

664
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:21.159
I'm gonna lean into this

665
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.320
because I don't want the guys to check out on us here

666
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.800
because here's what I'm gonna tell you.

667
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.739
Y'all, men deal with this too.

668
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.920
Men get into relationship

669
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:34.920
and if they've had a woman speak negatively to them

670
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.960
about their body in any way, yes, men deal with it too.

671
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.520
I can tell you from experience.

672
00:34:40.520 --> 00:34:43.840
If your former spouse or former girlfriends

673
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.480
or former fiances have said anything negative

674
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.900
about your body, men or women,

675
00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:51.880
you need to receive healing for that

676
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:55.159
before you enter into the new marriage, as much as you can.

677
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:56.639
Some of that healing is gonna come

678
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.120
from the new relationship, okay?

679
00:34:59.120 --> 00:35:00.720
So you just do the best you can.

680
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.420
You can, until you get into that spirit mate relationship, like Jackie said,

681
00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:08.020
where trials and trouble will come, but that new person that's healthy, that's

682
00:35:08.020 --> 00:35:10.800
whole, they're going to have mercy.

683
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.540
They're going to extend love to you.

684
00:35:12.540 --> 00:35:16.260
It's going to feel safe, even when it feels hard.

685
00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:22.560
Conflict is a part of life, but learning how to navigate that in a new environment

686
00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:27.700
and a new experience that is with a healthy person, man, that's healing is

687
00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:28.500
incredible.

688
00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:32.060
I can tell, I'm seriously like Jackie's telling you guys this, but I'm saying to

689
00:35:32.060 --> 00:35:36.020
you from, from being married a year and a half, I can tell you 100%, that is so

690
00:35:36.020 --> 00:35:36.380
true.

691
00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:37.660
So true.

692
00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:41.100
So thank you, Jeanine, for your vulnerability and for what you shared,

693
00:35:41.100 --> 00:35:45.300
because I do think there are a lot of people that while we're talking about a

694
00:35:45.300 --> 00:35:47.780
lot of other things, maybe your thing isn't body image.

695
00:35:47.780 --> 00:35:51.660
Maybe your thing is finances because man, that can get right into it too.

696
00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:54.900
A lot of hot buttons for me regarding finances.

697
00:35:55.260 --> 00:36:00.660
I was abandoned in so many ways financially in my former marriage and, and it was, it

698
00:36:00.660 --> 00:36:02.500
was very, very damaging to me.

699
00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:06.940
So I've had to come out a lot of that, you know, before I came into my marriage and

700
00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:12.060
even after, even up to last week, we were working on and talking through things and

701
00:36:12.220 --> 00:36:18.820
I'm continuing to be reminded that my, my husband is not like what I experienced

702
00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.260
before.

703
00:36:20.020 --> 00:36:20.220
Okay.

704
00:36:20.220 --> 00:36:23.940
So that whoever that's for lean into that, receive that.

705
00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:26.340
God has something special for you in that.

706
00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:27.140
Anna Marie, go ahead.

707
00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:28.580
Thank you, Bethany.

708
00:36:28.580 --> 00:36:29.220
It's such a good word.

709
00:36:29.220 --> 00:36:33.980
And, and Jeanine, I wanted to thank you for being so, so vulnerable too because

710
00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.860
you're not alone.

711
00:36:35.020 --> 00:36:39.620
And I just wanted to share with you guys, just, I haven't been on the calls lately

712
00:36:39.620 --> 00:36:44.140
and it's literally because of what Jackie said, like once you, I'm now engaged and

713
00:36:44.140 --> 00:36:49.300
once you get in the relationship and in the engagement, it's a whole other level

714
00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:50.100
of healing.

715
00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:53.580
And it's a whole other level of involvement.

716
00:36:53.820 --> 00:36:56.820
So it's not that we don't care and we don't want to be on the call with you

717
00:36:56.820 --> 00:36:57.100
guys.

718
00:36:57.100 --> 00:36:58.380
We absolutely do.

719
00:36:58.380 --> 00:37:01.820
Cause I've seen it with so many of our sisters in particular that have gotten

720
00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:02.580
engaged or married.

721
00:37:02.580 --> 00:37:03.900
We're like, where'd they go?

722
00:37:04.700 --> 00:37:07.420
It's not like, Hey, this program did its job and we're done.

723
00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:10.660
It's just, you're in a new phase, a totally new phase.

724
00:37:10.660 --> 00:37:12.260
That's extremely time consuming.

725
00:37:12.540 --> 00:37:16.860
We're still doing the prayers, just maybe not on the call, but still living that out

726
00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:19.380
and praying for our community and everything.

727
00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:27.540
But what Bethany was saying about the next level of healing that you get, I want to

728
00:37:27.540 --> 00:37:31.860
share this cause this is what God showed me and he could only show me it once I got

729
00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:34.140
to this phase, I couldn't see it before.

730
00:37:34.180 --> 00:37:36.020
And I hope this encourages you guys.

731
00:37:36.660 --> 00:37:41.460
Most of us on this call, I would venture to say almost all of us are on this call

732
00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:45.820
because we have no nothing but unhealthy relationships, right?

733
00:37:46.100 --> 00:37:50.460
We have no nothing but unsafety in relationships, whether that's from our

734
00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:56.060
families of origin or ex-husbands and wives or just former friendships and

735
00:37:56.060 --> 00:37:56.780
relationships.

736
00:37:57.020 --> 00:38:00.940
So Janine, your, your fear, and that was my fear.

737
00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:02.540
And that's probably a lot of our fears.

738
00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:07.260
Those are rooted in the only benchmark we know unhealthy people.

739
00:38:07.660 --> 00:38:12.700
But I promise you, imagine you're in a giant ballroom and there's a curtain in

740
00:38:12.700 --> 00:38:14.100
the center of the ballroom.

741
00:38:14.420 --> 00:38:15.780
You're on one side.

742
00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:17.860
That's called the unhealthy side, right?

743
00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:20.660
But the other side of that curtain is healthy.

744
00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.980
And we've never been there.

745
00:38:23.220 --> 00:38:26.980
We don't know what that's like and what this ministry, what this business tree is

746
00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:30.260
doing is it's slowly inching us toward the curtain.

747
00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:35.380
And once we are there at the curtain and it is removed and we're on the other side,

748
00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:40.780
it is a whole new world of people that we didn't know existed.

749
00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:43.860
And these, and I can only speak from the female perspective.

750
00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.940
So gentlemen, bear with me, but here, let's flip it for you.

751
00:38:47.660 --> 00:38:50.820
There are going to be people that you're going to meet that.

752
00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:56.900
They are so entrenched in a walk with Jesus that they're not looking at the

753
00:38:56.900 --> 00:38:59.460
extra 20 pounds you're carrying around.

754
00:38:59.460 --> 00:39:04.020
I'm speaking for myself, ladies, or like, you know, whatever flaws we think we

755
00:39:04.020 --> 00:39:10.700
have, I've been sitting here amazed at how, because my fiance is so rooted in a

756
00:39:10.700 --> 00:39:15.340
walk with Jesus and he's not perfect, but he's rooted in a walk that there are

757
00:39:15.340 --> 00:39:18.700
things that other people in my life were so turned off about me.

758
00:39:18.740 --> 00:39:23.020
Oh, you, you, this, you, that, that this man, I'm not saying he loves these

759
00:39:23.020 --> 00:39:25.900
things, but he's just like, well, honey, you're human.

760
00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:27.580
You know, he has grace.

761
00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:29.940
And I am just sitting here every day.

762
00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:32.180
Like Jesus, is this real life?

763
00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:32.820
Is this real?

764
00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.700
But it is.

765
00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:39.220
And there's healing that comes from it because now I feel safe for the first

766
00:39:39.220 --> 00:39:46.100
time ever to be myself, to be all of myself, to not have to be perfect, to not

767
00:39:46.100 --> 00:39:49.380
have to cover up or compensate for my flaws.

768
00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:53.260
When somebody shows you, they want to love all of you the way that the Lord

769
00:39:53.260 --> 00:39:55.020
tries to love, you know, loves all of us.

770
00:39:55.460 --> 00:39:58.940
You can become the best version of yourself and flourish.

771
00:39:59.300 --> 00:40:00.060
And so, yes.

772
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.760
it's not easy. There are light layers that are going to come with the next phase of relationship

773
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:11.840
that are going to be super challenging. But our job is to keep pressing into Jesus, because he's

774
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.240
going to keep shining the truth. I admit, and Bethany knows, I went to her, I was like,

775
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.320
you know, about certain things. And she's just like, do not make rash decisions,

776
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:28.240
stand firm in the Lord. And I'm so thankful she gave me that advice. Because when I pressed through

777
00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:33.680
and got to the other side, and tapped into some additional resources, it was like, truth was

778
00:40:33.680 --> 00:40:39.280
shown, I realized it was fear. And that's the word, okay, that's the word, fear. I had been

779
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.920
with Jackie's ministry since February of 2022. And I hope the ladies that have been in the program

780
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.360
with me since then, I hope y'all would say I worked it like no one's business, because I

781
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:56.560
really did. I was ready to change my life. And so this was everything. And in that, what the Lord

782
00:40:56.560 --> 00:41:03.360
did is he was stripping me of fear, fear, I did not even know I had, he was showing me all the

783
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:08.480
areas that I was believing a lie or fearing something. And as he was stripping me, and he

784
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:14.800
was stripping me of relationships, friendships, you name it. I mean, I was so bare bones before I met

785
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.880
my fiance, that I had to get there, I had to get there to not only make room for him, but room for

786
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:26.080
him mentally, because he has everything I ever wanted, but he came in a package that is very

787
00:41:26.080 --> 00:41:33.200
different than what I would have expected or necessarily wanted. So keep that in mind your

788
00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:39.760
person, maybe your person will be everything you ever wanted, but he or she may not look exactly

789
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:44.960
the way you thought in the package that God presents. But when he strips you, he strips you

790
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:50.000
so your eyes could be opened to what he's doing. And I'm going to stop but that that's everything.

791
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.160
Thanks guys. So good. And you know, just I see Nitton too, I'm going to come to you Nitton.

792
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.440
One of the things I want to say, because we all use different verbiage, some people that have a

793
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.320
very tough time relating to God as a loving God, if they hear the word stripping, they're like,

794
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:08.880
oh my God, and you're freaking out right now. So I want to encourage you, I always try to remind

795
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:16.080
everybody, it's always an invitation. Jackie said that earlier. Okay. So even the pruning, even like

796
00:42:16.080 --> 00:42:19.600
basically, that's kind of what Anna's leaning into as well. There was a lot of pruning that

797
00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:26.080
needed to happen there. But even in the pruning, you know, there are times where if you have ever

798
00:42:26.080 --> 00:42:30.640
done plants or stuff, you are going to see something that needs clipped. And as the person

799
00:42:30.640 --> 00:42:38.320
pruning, you're doing that. Why? From a posture of love, right? Because you want that plant to grow

800
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:43.040
bigger, you want it to flourish, maybe, maybe every, you know, certain trees have to be pruned

801
00:42:43.040 --> 00:42:50.320
every year because they grow a more abundant, you know, flowers or whatever in that next season,

802
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:58.480
because it is pruned. But it's not God coming and just ripping something from you, okay? So I really

803
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:04.320
want to make sure that people don't mishear what is being said when Anna's saying, you know, the

804
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:12.640
word stripping away, because God isn't one to just expose you and cause nakedness.

805
00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:20.240
You know what I'm saying? You all hear what I'm saying? It's an invitation. It's an invitation. He

806
00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:27.680
comes and he knocks on the door of our hearts and he says, I'm here, will you let me in? So today,

807
00:43:27.680 --> 00:43:33.520
all of these things that you're hearing about, it's all an invitation. You guys can choose, we

808
00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:38.240
all, myself included, y'all, I'm already married, but there's so much in this message. You know,

809
00:43:38.240 --> 00:43:42.880
we're preparing to move. We have several offers right now on the table. We're trying to navigate

810
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:48.880
where do we go from here? This word is a relevant word, no matter what season you are in to lean

811
00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:54.640
into. So keep leaning in. I do want to talk about the pruning. I want to hear from some people about

812
00:43:54.640 --> 00:44:00.960
what is God nudging you to prune, so be ready. Nitin, I want to come to you. I just want to

813
00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:08.640
share a testimony and make it quick. In 2004, I was engaged and God broke the engagement and I was

814
00:44:08.640 --> 00:44:15.840
desperate to find a wife. And God said to me, my way or the highway. And I had to lay it down

815
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:24.240
and I chose God. God brought me under my spiritual mom and dad. And he, through my spiritual parents,

816
00:44:25.040 --> 00:44:31.040
chiseled me so that I could learn about what it is to be a man, spiritual leader, husband, father.

817
00:44:31.600 --> 00:44:38.480
For at least 10, 15 years, I hardly dated. In fact, there were hardly any dates I can recollect.

818
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:46.560
I was in the wilderness season and it was a time of pruning. It was a time of God saying,

819
00:44:46.560 --> 00:44:53.680
I want to see, are you going to trust me when it gets really hard that you don't get what you want

820
00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:59.680
in the time you want? And are you going to trust me? So I dig my heels so deep.

821
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.480
the word of God was my girlfriend, right?

822
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.480
And I spent hours, months into it.

823
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.400
And I just, and it was hard.

824
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:14.400
It was not easy, but I did not let go of God.

825
00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:19.440
And over those years, God, he was my only,

826
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.960
there was no like handicap, like we say in golf.

827
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.180
He was my only source.

828
00:45:24.180 --> 00:45:25.480
And did I try?

829
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:26.560
Yes.

830
00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.960
But the grace started coming in

831
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:33.020
to keep moving on the single journey.

832
00:45:33.020 --> 00:45:36.160
And when I got hold of Jackie's ministry,

833
00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:37.960
I thought I was ready.

834
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.880
So when the hard work came, oh boy, that was tough.

835
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:47.200
But I knew that I had the grace of God

836
00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:49.040
that I had to go through hard work.

837
00:45:49.040 --> 00:45:53.420
And then another layer came off of lies that I had believed.

838
00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:56.480
So all I'm saying is I never gave up

839
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.140
because God was with me,

840
00:45:58.140 --> 00:46:01.380
but I had to make him my first choice.

841
00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:04.620
And seriously, today, a couple of weeks,

842
00:46:04.620 --> 00:46:06.940
I was just sitting with the Lord.

843
00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:09.700
I'm just praying about the spirit made.

844
00:46:09.700 --> 00:46:12.820
And he told me, Nathan, you are ready.

845
00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:14.620
And in fact, this morning,

846
00:46:14.620 --> 00:46:17.500
I just had a dream that God said, okay,

847
00:46:17.500 --> 00:46:20.300
this is the right time, this is the right season.

848
00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:22.820
So I will encourage ladies

849
00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:26.960
and especially Ann Marie's testimony as well,

850
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:31.440
do not give up, rely on God,

851
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:35.740
even when it gets tough because he never fails.

852
00:46:35.740 --> 00:46:37.860
And when you are ready,

853
00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:41.240
that person who is there for he has selected for you,

854
00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:44.680
he will present you as he presented Eve to Adam.

855
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:48.600
Can we get an amen in the chat?

856
00:46:48.600 --> 00:46:50.120
Nitin, thank you for sharing.

857
00:46:50.120 --> 00:46:52.120
That was so good.

858
00:46:52.140 --> 00:46:55.660
It was ministering to me as a reminder not to give up,

859
00:46:55.660 --> 00:46:57.900
that we would not become weary and well-doing

860
00:46:57.900 --> 00:47:01.380
for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not.

861
00:47:01.380 --> 00:47:04.860
You all, 100%, we believe in this community

862
00:47:04.860 --> 00:47:07.860
that we can pray and lean into God.

863
00:47:07.860 --> 00:47:11.620
Thank you that you're gonna cause my spirit mate to find me

864
00:47:11.620 --> 00:47:13.460
and you're gonna cause me to find my spirit mate.

865
00:47:13.460 --> 00:47:16.940
Over and over and over, I declared that truth, you all.

866
00:47:16.940 --> 00:47:19.000
And it was so in my life.

867
00:47:19.020 --> 00:47:22.260
And I believe, you know, God is not a respecter of person.

868
00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:24.260
So for those of you that are still struggling

869
00:47:24.260 --> 00:47:28.500
on the dating apps, you know, here's my word for you.

870
00:47:28.500 --> 00:47:30.980
I'm not saying it's not difficult,

871
00:47:30.980 --> 00:47:33.540
but what I'm going to say to you is we can stay,

872
00:47:33.540 --> 00:47:34.940
no matter what our trial is,

873
00:47:34.940 --> 00:47:37.100
whether it's dating apps, jobs, whatever,

874
00:47:37.100 --> 00:47:40.860
we can stay in the mindset and the heart posture

875
00:47:40.860 --> 00:47:43.060
of it's not happening, it's not happening.

876
00:47:43.060 --> 00:47:45.100
It's not, this isn't working, this isn't working,

877
00:47:45.100 --> 00:47:45.940
this isn't working.

878
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.160
Or we can say, God, it hasn't worked yet,

879
00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:52.560
but God, I thank you that you're drawing

880
00:47:52.560 --> 00:47:54.720
healthy connections to me

881
00:47:54.720 --> 00:47:56.680
and you're drawing me to healthy connections

882
00:47:56.680 --> 00:47:59.220
and you're gonna lead me to my spirit mate.

883
00:47:59.220 --> 00:48:02.080
Total difference in the way we posture ourselves, you all.

884
00:48:03.120 --> 00:48:05.920
And it does matter, it does matter.

885
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:10.040
So on that note, that aligns with the remember God.

886
00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:13.040
You know, even when the struggle is hard on a dating app

887
00:48:13.040 --> 00:48:14.240
or even you go on a date,

888
00:48:14.240 --> 00:48:15.600
some of you guys are gonna have dates

889
00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:17.480
that aren't gonna be great.

890
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:19.660
Okay, let's just speak truth.

891
00:48:19.660 --> 00:48:21.260
I had some dates that weren't great.

892
00:48:21.260 --> 00:48:22.900
I had, I went on a date with a guy

893
00:48:22.900 --> 00:48:24.340
that every time I got together with him,

894
00:48:24.340 --> 00:48:27.060
he was trying to talk about sex, trying to talk about sex.

895
00:48:27.060 --> 00:48:28.820
I'm like, really, for the fourth time,

896
00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:30.540
I'm not talking about this.

897
00:48:31.780 --> 00:48:33.000
He was a nice guy.

898
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:34.080
I'm glad I went on the dates

899
00:48:34.080 --> 00:48:36.880
because I learned a lot about myself with that.

900
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.780
I learned I could set healthy boundaries

901
00:48:38.780 --> 00:48:40.780
and I could be kind in the process

902
00:48:40.780 --> 00:48:42.740
and I didn't have to bash him.

903
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:44.200
You know, we're all learning.

904
00:48:44.200 --> 00:48:45.680
We're all growing.

905
00:48:45.680 --> 00:48:47.720
So we can extend grace.

906
00:48:47.720 --> 00:48:50.520
We can extend grace and stand in truth.

907
00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:53.640
What was the passage I just quoted?

908
00:48:53.640 --> 00:48:54.460
I'm not sure.

909
00:48:54.460 --> 00:48:55.920
Hold that for a second, Kelly.

910
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:56.760
Hold that for a second.

911
00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:57.820
I don't know.

912
00:48:57.820 --> 00:48:59.520
Sometimes I'm just going with it.

913
00:48:59.520 --> 00:49:02.160
And so I have no clue what I even said to you all.

914
00:49:02.160 --> 00:49:04.800
So if someone knows what scripture I said,

915
00:49:05.700 --> 00:49:06.540
someone I'll share.

916
00:49:06.540 --> 00:49:09.640
But I'm actually, I've seen Elizabeth Fishman waiting.

917
00:49:09.640 --> 00:49:11.220
So I'm gonna go to her next.

918
00:49:11.220 --> 00:49:13.480
If you can hold that.

919
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:15.920
And Kelly, we'll come to you if we're able, okay?

920
00:49:17.560 --> 00:49:19.640
Yeah, thank you so much, Bethany.

921
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:23.120
This has been like really ministering to me.

922
00:49:23.120 --> 00:49:28.120
And especially like when Anna was sharing her testimony,

923
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.800
I do also feel like I'm like the curtain.

924
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:36.280
For me, it's been like, oh, stepping through the door,

925
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:40.300
like onto the green pastures, the green grass.

926
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:45.320
And in ways like it feels like the scariest place to be,

927
00:49:45.520 --> 00:49:48.120
but it also feels like the safest place to be

928
00:49:48.120 --> 00:49:52.320
at the same time, just because of what God's doing

929
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.120
and just pruning like areas.

930
00:49:56.120 --> 00:49:59.120
And it has been an invitation for years for me,

931
00:49:59.120 --> 00:50:00.320
but for me, it's...

932
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.000
It's really been this vulnerable place of who I am

933
00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:07.760
without all the survivor's guilt.

934
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.760
I explained before loss of suicide in my family.

935
00:50:13.720 --> 00:50:18.360
And because of that, my identity was so wrapped around that.

936
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:23.360
And because I had dealt with a lot of rejection

937
00:50:24.080 --> 00:50:28.080
from my family and even my own mom,

938
00:50:28.080 --> 00:50:31.040
there was like a lie that I believed like,

939
00:50:31.040 --> 00:50:36.040
well, like who possibly would accept me in my fullness

940
00:50:37.080 --> 00:50:41.120
if my own mother like wasn't able to, you know?

941
00:50:41.120 --> 00:50:43.840
And so I met this guy actually recently,

942
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.360
we're in the beginning stages of getting to know each other.

943
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:50.280
And he seems like a great guy.

944
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:55.280
And for me, it's just, it's been scary,

945
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:57.840
but I have like close friends where I'm like,

946
00:50:57.840 --> 00:50:59.760
hey, for years, these are my,

947
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:01.800
like one of the things Jackie was talking about

948
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:03.280
was sabotage.

949
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:05.880
And so I'm like letting my friends in like,

950
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:07.800
hey, there's this really great guy.

951
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:09.080
I don't wanna mess this up.

952
00:51:09.080 --> 00:51:10.960
I don't wanna sabotage it.

953
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.880
So here's some of my behaviors.

954
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:17.040
Here's some of the things that I do or say or believe,

955
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:20.320
just like letting them in on my process.

956
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:24.680
And it's been, as you mentioned before, Bethany,

957
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:28.040
I feel like naked, I feel exposed,

958
00:51:28.040 --> 00:51:31.400
but I'm letting God heal those areas

959
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:36.400
that have been so like deeply hidden inside of me.

960
00:51:39.080 --> 00:51:42.760
And so I just like bringing everything to the light.

961
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:46.440
And yeah, I'm excited for what's to come.

962
00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:49.000
Like, yes, it's scary, but I'm also very excited

963
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:53.400
because I'm stepping into the unknown

964
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:58.400
and yeah, so starting to like really believe

965
00:52:02.120 --> 00:52:06.600
that I'm worthy of that kind of love

966
00:52:06.600 --> 00:52:10.680
because that's what God has is best for me.

967
00:52:12.080 --> 00:52:14.080
Yeah, so.

968
00:52:14.080 --> 00:52:15.280
Yes.

969
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.240
Very vulnerable to share that,

970
00:52:17.240 --> 00:52:20.480
but I just felt the need to share that with you all.

971
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:21.880
I'm so glad you shared.

972
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:23.280
And there's a lot of people relating

973
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:25.800
to things that you're sharing, Elizabeth.

974
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:27.720
One of the things that came to my spirit

975
00:52:27.720 --> 00:52:29.360
that I feel like will be really good

976
00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:31.040
in alignment with Jackie's word,

977
00:52:31.040 --> 00:52:34.080
as well as some of the things Elizabeth's sharing.

978
00:52:34.080 --> 00:52:36.560
Years ago, I was walking through some stuff.

979
00:52:36.560 --> 00:52:38.000
I mean, this has been forever ago,

980
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.760
but long before I came into this community.

981
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:43.400
And I used to always get frustrated like with the word,

982
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:44.240
people are always like,

983
00:52:44.240 --> 00:52:46.960
oh, go for the light at the end of the tunnel.

984
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:48.600
You're moving towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

985
00:52:48.600 --> 00:52:50.600
I would get so frustrated with that

986
00:52:50.600 --> 00:52:54.080
because I'm like, I don't wanna have to walk

987
00:52:54.080 --> 00:52:58.080
through this dark area and wait for one day,

988
00:52:58.080 --> 00:53:00.360
I'm gonna get to the light.

989
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.120
And the Holy Spirit came so tangible and real to me.

990
00:53:04.120 --> 00:53:06.720
And he said, you don't have to.

991
00:53:06.720 --> 00:53:08.480
And I was like, what?

992
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:13.120
And he's like, I am the light and I live in you.

993
00:53:13.120 --> 00:53:16.200
So everywhere you go, there is light.

994
00:53:16.200 --> 00:53:19.720
There is, and there is no darkness in him, you all.

995
00:53:19.720 --> 00:53:23.800
Some of us need to really meditate on that word alone.

996
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:26.160
There is no darkness in him.

997
00:53:26.160 --> 00:53:28.800
And so the reality is this,

998
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.280
while I love the concept of the curtain,

999
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:35.040
I love the concept of when I get into the green pasture,

1000
00:53:35.040 --> 00:53:36.680
when we get out of the darkness,

1001
00:53:36.680 --> 00:53:38.920
but what I wanna kind of say to you guys

1002
00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:40.400
is like, here's the thing.

1003
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:44.200
If God is with us, if he's gone before us,

1004
00:53:44.200 --> 00:53:46.880
he's with us and he's behind us,

1005
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:49.840
there is literally never a moment that we're without him.

1006
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:53.280
There's literally never a moment that his light

1007
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:56.960
is not there to permeate any amount of darkness

1008
00:53:56.960 --> 00:53:58.960
and expel it from our life.

1009
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:01.800
But so many times, again,

1010
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:05.920
it goes back to our connection with the father.

1011
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:07.000
And I love what you shared.

1012
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:11.000
You said, who would accept me in my fullness

1013
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:14.720
if my own mother couldn't?

1014
00:54:14.720 --> 00:54:17.280
And so to me right there, those are, again,

1015
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:18.960
those revealings for healing

1016
00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:23.800
because we haven't maybe in the past experienced

1017
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:28.720
amazing love, how sweet the sound

1018
00:54:28.720 --> 00:54:31.120
that saved a wretch like me.

1019
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:34.440
And that also came to bless my life.

1020
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:38.120
The goodness of God can be seen and experienced

1021
00:54:38.120 --> 00:54:39.760
in the land of the living, you all.

1022
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:42.560
It's not God wants you to struggle, struggle, struggle,

1023
00:54:42.560 --> 00:54:44.360
struggle, struggle your whole life

1024
00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:45.800
and you never experienced good.

1025
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:47.640
Yes, Jackie declared it.

1026
00:54:47.640 --> 00:54:48.600
We are going to struggle.

1027
00:54:48.600 --> 00:54:49.840
We're going to face trials.

1028
00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:52.760
We're going to have them in the spirit-mate connections.

1029
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:53.800
You're going to have them in dating

1030
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:55.320
or have them in engagement.

1031
00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:56.680
You're going to have them in marriage.

1032
00:54:56.680 --> 00:54:59.920
But the reality is, is when our understanding

1033
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.280
who the Father is, and that he literally never leaves us.

1034
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:05.600
He never forsakes us.

1035
00:55:05.600 --> 00:55:09.320
He's walking all the way through with us.

1036
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:14.040
The Holy Spirit was sent as our comforter, our counselor,

1037
00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:16.620
and our guide, and so much more.

1038
00:55:16.620 --> 00:55:21.440
But if he's all those things, why do we so often feel

1039
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:23.280
like nobody's holding our hand?

1040
00:55:26.520 --> 00:55:28.080
Right?

1041
00:55:28.080 --> 00:55:30.120
Yeah, a lot of us, again, it goes back

1042
00:55:30.120 --> 00:55:34.160
to how we were informed in our relationships growing up,

1043
00:55:34.160 --> 00:55:36.080
and the Lord's wanting to heal those more.

1044
00:55:36.080 --> 00:55:38.000
Remember God, she said.

1045
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:41.060
Remember who he is.

1046
00:55:41.060 --> 00:55:42.440
Remember that he's at the center.

1047
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:44.600
Remember that he doesn't want you

1048
00:55:44.600 --> 00:55:46.160
to keep squatters in your heart.

1049
00:55:46.160 --> 00:55:48.600
He doesn't want you to have counterfeits.

1050
00:55:48.600 --> 00:55:54.280
He has a good, good plan for you.

1051
00:55:54.280 --> 00:55:55.240
He's so good, you all.

1052
00:55:55.240 --> 00:55:55.980
We're at 1057.

1053
00:55:55.980 --> 00:55:57.400
I can't even believe this already.

1054
00:55:57.400 --> 00:55:59.840
Ruth, I want to have you share next.

1055
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:02.600
We'll get through as many as we can, you all.

1056
00:56:02.600 --> 00:56:05.680
But I want to trust Holy Spirit on this, too.

1057
00:56:05.680 --> 00:56:08.000
I had a main point about something Jackie said.

1058
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:09.480
But the pruning thing has actually

1059
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:11.280
come up at church recently.

1060
00:56:11.280 --> 00:56:16.000
And it was the example of it's not always about cutting off.

1061
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:18.960
A vine dresser will actually prop up and raise up

1062
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:21.520
the vines that are laying on the ground,

1063
00:56:21.520 --> 00:56:23.680
and so it can bear fruit.

1064
00:56:23.680 --> 00:56:26.040
So it's not always necessarily about cutting.

1065
00:56:26.040 --> 00:56:28.640
Sometimes it's just you need tender care,

1066
00:56:28.640 --> 00:56:35.000
or you need a chance for your fruit to develop.

1067
00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:38.560
And it's more gentler than what we've grown up believing,

1068
00:56:38.560 --> 00:56:43.400
that he cuts off everything, and it's thrown into the fire.

1069
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.800
Yeah, it was quite a little bit of a mind switch of like, oh,

1070
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:49.640
actually, he's kind to us, and he props us up and gives us

1071
00:56:49.640 --> 00:56:51.520
the time to grow our fruit.

1072
00:56:51.520 --> 00:56:53.320
Anyway, so that was the thing about pruning.

1073
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:55.240
But the other thing is when Jackie

1074
00:56:55.240 --> 00:56:58.280
was talking about when we're thinking about the promised

1075
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.120
land, we always think of this pie in the sky.

1076
00:57:01.120 --> 00:57:03.280
It's going to be perfection type idea.

1077
00:57:03.280 --> 00:57:05.080
And just the reminder that there was actually

1078
00:57:05.080 --> 00:57:05.880
giants in the land.

1079
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:07.600
Yes, there's grapes the size of your head,

1080
00:57:07.600 --> 00:57:09.040
and there's milk and honey.

1081
00:57:09.040 --> 00:57:13.560
But there was still things to conquer and deal with.

1082
00:57:13.560 --> 00:57:17.480
And it's not just that fairy tale rainbows

1083
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:18.560
and butterflies thing.

1084
00:57:18.560 --> 00:57:22.800
There is still work on the other side, which is kind of a nice,

1085
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:27.000
it was just a nice little check of like, yeah.

1086
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:28.640
Yes.

1087
00:57:28.640 --> 00:57:31.280
Man, God is moving through everything

1088
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.280
that's being shared and said.

1089
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:35.320
Even in the pruning, he's tender.

1090
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:37.600
That's where, again, it's what do

1091
00:57:37.600 --> 00:57:43.520
we believe are the intentions of God's heart towards us?

1092
00:57:43.520 --> 00:57:49.720
In the pruning, in the asking us to let go in order to make room.

1093
00:57:49.720 --> 00:57:52.520
Some of you all, I just heard the Holy Spirit say,

1094
00:57:52.720 --> 00:57:55.760
and I'm not saying to be unwise if you

1095
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:57.080
need money for a certain reason.

1096
00:57:57.080 --> 00:58:02.080
But some of you all work a second job just because you can.

1097
00:58:02.080 --> 00:58:06.120
And some of you all might need to let go of that second job

1098
00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:10.120
so that you can make room to date and get

1099
00:58:10.120 --> 00:58:11.360
to know a spirit mate.

1100
00:58:14.160 --> 00:58:15.800
I didn't have any plan on saying that.

1101
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:19.640
I think that sincerely is from the Lord.

1102
00:58:19.640 --> 00:58:21.880
It's amazing that we can be boss babes

1103
00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:24.440
and amazing, incredible conquerors as men.

1104
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:25.920
Y'all, it's not just boss babes.

1105
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:26.560
It's the men.

1106
00:58:26.560 --> 00:58:33.240
Men get a lot of identity from their jobs and their financial.

1107
00:58:33.240 --> 00:58:34.960
Yes.

1108
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:38.840
Sons and daughters, we do not derive our identity

1109
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:45.960
from our jobs, from whatever title we have.

1110
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:48.320
I can't tell you how long I wanted to move out

1111
00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:49.760
of the old job I was in.

1112
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:52.640
And I knew God had more for me.

1113
00:58:52.640 --> 00:58:56.200
And that place would not promote me.

1114
00:58:56.200 --> 00:58:58.760
I know that I deserved the title.

1115
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:00.280
I know that I did.

1116
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:03.160
And I could never understand it or comprehend it.

1117
00:59:03.160 --> 00:59:07.000
But in that process, it's quite interesting.

1118
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:11.080
Even after I've been gone from there for over three or two

1119
00:59:11.080 --> 00:59:14.680
years, two years, and it still bugs me

1120
00:59:14.680 --> 00:59:16.320
that they didn't give me the title

1121
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:21.720
that I know I way more than accomplished.

1122
00:59:21.720 --> 00:59:24.560
But here's the thing.

1123
00:59:24.560 --> 00:59:31.200
That not happening was what really fueled me to leave.

1124
00:59:31.200 --> 00:59:35.880
Because God had this for me, you all.

1125
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:39.280
I started coaching with this group in this community

1126
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.120
long before I started getting paid for it.

1127
00:59:42.120 --> 00:59:44.440
And I'm so grateful that I did.

1128
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:48.400
But I also had to take a leap of faith at one point

1129
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:53.000
and let go of the old that I was still hanging on to.

1130
00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.600
Because it was security.

1131
00:59:55.600 --> 00:59:57.000
It was an audit.

1132
00:59:57.000 --> 00:59:58.960
Of course, I had to show up for work.

1133
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:01.560
But it was an audit.

1134
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.820
Was that kind of, okay, here's your paycheck

1135
01:00:02.820 --> 01:00:03.700
you're going to get.

1136
01:00:03.700 --> 01:00:05.660
I knew what to expect and all those things.

1137
01:00:05.660 --> 01:00:06.500
And I still do.

1138
01:00:06.500 --> 01:00:08.240
I don't want to give a wrong impression,

1139
01:00:08.240 --> 01:00:11.380
but I'm saying this for somebody this morning.

1140
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:15.000
I couldn't receive this.

1141
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:18.920
Like I have so much fun doing what I'm doing.

1142
01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:21.240
I am so blessed.

1143
01:00:21.240 --> 01:00:23.280
I get to see people set free.

1144
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:25.960
Like to me, there's no greater joy.

1145
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:28.040
I get to see people grow in their relationship

1146
01:00:28.040 --> 01:00:30.120
with Jesus Christ, God, the Father and the Holy Spirit.

1147
01:00:30.120 --> 01:00:31.700
There's no greater joy.

1148
01:00:31.700 --> 01:00:35.040
So some of you, some of you it's,

1149
01:00:35.040 --> 01:00:36.560
this is a word for you receive it

1150
01:00:36.560 --> 01:00:38.820
however you need to this morning.

1151
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:44.080
What do you need to let God encourage you to let go of?

1152
01:00:44.080 --> 01:00:47.360
So that your hands are open and your heart is open

1153
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:50.640
and your life is open and you have the room

1154
01:00:50.640 --> 01:00:53.320
to receive the new.

1155
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:54.160
We love you guys.

1156
01:00:54.160 --> 01:00:56.480
I know there were other people that had hands up.

1157
01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:59.120
I would encourage you go and post in your groups,

1158
01:00:59.120 --> 01:01:01.320
men post in your group, women post in your groups.

1159
01:01:01.320 --> 01:01:03.280
We need to continue to talk about this.

1160
01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:05.080
This is a powerful word.

1161
01:01:05.080 --> 01:01:07.440
We encourage you guys every single week.

1162
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:10.420
If you get ministered to on any prayer call,

1163
01:01:10.420 --> 01:01:11.780
any supernatural Saturday,

1164
01:01:11.780 --> 01:01:13.560
talk about those things in your group

1165
01:01:13.560 --> 01:01:15.400
because we need to be talking.

1166
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:16.800
Yes, about the hard things.

1167
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:18.320
Yes, about the things we're processing.

1168
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:19.500
Yes, about the people you're dating,

1169
01:01:19.500 --> 01:01:21.520
but we need to talk about the breakthroughs,

1170
01:01:21.520 --> 01:01:23.120
the revelations, the insights,

1171
01:01:23.120 --> 01:01:25.200
because that's how other people get freedom

1172
01:01:25.200 --> 01:01:26.640
and revelation and insight as well.

1173
01:01:26.640 --> 01:01:28.080
Father, thank you for this word today.

1174
01:01:28.080 --> 01:01:30.840
Thank you for this amazing community

1175
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:35.240
and your love that is so just relevant

1176
01:01:35.240 --> 01:01:37.840
and just so permeating this place.

1177
01:01:38.860 --> 01:01:41.280
We ask you to bless Jackie and David

1178
01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:42.280
in their travels today.

1179
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:43.120
Keep them safe.

1180
01:01:43.120 --> 01:01:44.340
God, we thank you for their yes.

1181
01:01:44.340 --> 01:01:46.280
We thank you for everything that they're doing

1182
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.000
to pioneer and climb the mountain of marriage and family

1183
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:53.840
so that we also can partner with them and with you in this.

1184
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:54.680
Bless our days.

1185
01:01:54.680 --> 01:01:55.600
Help us to continue to hear

1186
01:01:55.600 --> 01:01:58.160
what your spirit is saying to us in Jesus name.

1187
01:01:58.160 --> 01:01:58.980
We love you guys.

1188
01:01:58.980 --> 01:01:59.820
We'll see you guys.

1189
01:01:59.820 --> 01:02:02.760
Hopefully you'll join us on Sunday night activation

1190
01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:05.540
and any other time that we go live or have prayer.

1191
01:02:05.540 --> 01:02:06.380
Be blessed.

1192
01:02:06.380 --> 01:02:07.360
God loves you all.
