00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
Hi there, I'm back.

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.320
I'm here for a heart check-in.

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.960
I know that after signing that permission slip, you probably need one.

4
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.960
This means that you have finished part one of the course.

5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:19.040
You did the reading material, you did the bonus questions at the end of each chapter,

6
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:20.480
you journaled those.

7
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.440
Don't mail this in, okay?

8
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.800
Don't go halfway, go all the way.

9
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.000
There's a bonus worksheet there for you as well, and then of course the videos.

10
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.160
And I really want to encourage you to just take your time, really digest the material,

11
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:38.800
process it, invite Holy Spirit in to talk to you about what you're reading, because

12
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.720
that is how you're going to get the most out of it.

13
00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:46.520
So after signing that permission slip, I know sometimes we're like, what did I just do?

14
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:47.760
You know, is this crazy?

15
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:52.760
Yeah, it's crazy in a good way, because things are going to start getting out of your hands

16
00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:56.200
and into God's hands, and that's where you want those things.

17
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.520
There's so many things in your life that you are never going to be able to get in your

18
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.800
own power.

19
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:03.040
Can I tell you something?

20
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.440
The only thing that you're ever asked to do in your own power is surrender.

21
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:11.920
And that's what we did in this first part of the course, supernatural surrender.

22
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:16.880
That's the only thing that God has ever asked any of us to do in our own strength.

23
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:22.680
And once we truly do that, we will be divinely empowered by His strength to do everything

24
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.700
else, everything.

25
00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:29.540
So all of those amazing, beautiful dreams in your heart that God has given you as they

26
00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:34.820
become uncovered during this course, you're not going to get those things on your own.

27
00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:37.340
You're never going to deserve them or earn them or merit them.

28
00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:40.700
You can't perform well enough to receive them.

29
00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:43.200
They're going to come by divine empowerment.

30
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.620
And so this is just getting you ready for that.

31
00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:50.540
We have to live surrendered lives if we want to have those abundant lives that Jesus died

32
00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:51.540
to give us.

33
00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:52.740
And I know you want that.

34
00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:58.020
You're sick and tired of being sick and tired and being able to only get what you can do

35
00:01:58.020 --> 00:01:59.220
in your own strength.

36
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:02.340
Ever since we were little kids, we're like, I do it myself.

37
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.060
You know, my daughter, when she was a toddler, I'm trying to help her, trying to help her

38
00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:07.060
put on her shoes.

39
00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:08.060
I do it.

40
00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:12.060
You know, that's one of the first things that we learn how to say, because we're born into

41
00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:15.060
that cursed orphan mentality.

42
00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:19.480
But God's peeling back the layers of that during this course so that you can become

43
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:20.740
the real you.

44
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:23.460
And the real you is not self-defended.

45
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:25.780
The real you is God-defended.

46
00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:31.580
Just recently, my kids bought me a gift, a gift that I think was more for them.

47
00:02:31.580 --> 00:02:35.100
And that was a ziplining trip.

48
00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:36.380
I don't like heights.

49
00:02:36.380 --> 00:02:39.220
At least that's what I thought before I went on this ziplining trip.

50
00:02:39.220 --> 00:02:42.380
And if you don't know what ziplining is, it's basically crazy.

51
00:02:42.380 --> 00:02:46.180
You just go up really, really high on a tiny little platform, and then you jump off because

52
00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:50.860
you're tethered to a cable, and you swing through the air like Tarzan to another little

53
00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.140
platform.

54
00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:55.740
And a lot of times they're really long, these cables are, and they're over water, they're

55
00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:58.260
over the woods.

56
00:02:58.260 --> 00:02:59.540
And it just really is crazy.

57
00:02:59.540 --> 00:03:04.900
I've never understood why people jump out of planes or jump off mountains.

58
00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:06.660
That's not really something I want to do.

59
00:03:06.660 --> 00:03:09.820
But before this trip, I always thought that I was afraid of heights.

60
00:03:09.820 --> 00:03:12.580
But you know what I realized after I did it?

61
00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:14.020
I'm not afraid of heights at all.

62
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:15.640
The heights didn't bother me.

63
00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:16.800
You know what bothered me?

64
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.800
The fact that I had to put my safety and well-being in the hands of this 21-year-old kid, who

65
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.360
I'm pretty sure just smoked a joint behind the barn over there, and now he's tethering

66
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.640
me to a cable and saying, jump.

67
00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:30.400
I had a problem with that.

68
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.400
Why?

69
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.000
Because it seemed really dangerous.

70
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.420
And I have been taking care of myself for a really long time.

71
00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:38.240
And maybe you have too.

72
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.120
Just taking care of yourself, keeping yourself alive, making sure that whatever bad thing

73
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.960
happened to you before never gets a chance to happen to you again.

74
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.720
I remember a similar situation where I was on a plane, and I never used to like to fly.

75
00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:52.720
Why?

76
00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:53.720
Same reason.

77
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:54.720
I don't know the pilot.

78
00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:55.720
I'm not flying the plane.

79
00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:59.000
I'm going to put my well-being, I'm going to trust him and get on the plane and just

80
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:06.000
trust that he's going to take us 35,000 feet in the air in a metal tube that, to my mind,

81
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.040
how does this thing even fly in the first place?

82
00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:09.040
Maybe you're just like me.

83
00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:10.920
You're like, this doesn't make sense.

84
00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:12.520
And so I didn't like it.

85
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.320
Every time I would get on a plane, because I have to fly for what I do, I would feel

86
00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:18.360
a lot of anxiety.

87
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.040
And one day God just spoke to me.

88
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:21.040
I was sitting there.

89
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.720
I was buckled up, ready to take off.

90
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.660
And he said, hey, you know you're not on this plane, right?

91
00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:29.960
And I was like, what?

92
00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:31.880
He said, you're not on this plane.

93
00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:32.880
And I said, I'm not?

94
00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:33.880
And he said, no.

95
00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:36.800
He said, you are in me.

96
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.880
You're in me.

97
00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:40.220
He said, and nothing can harm you.

98
00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:43.740
Nothing can remove you from me.

99
00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:47.220
And that really powerfully changed my life.

100
00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:51.900
He said, you've taken care of yourself for a really long time.

101
00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:56.660
And you've done a good job, but you're going to have to let me take it from here.

102
00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:58.500
And he's saying the same thing to you.

103
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.060
If you really want to have the

104
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.560
amazing life that you're seeing little glimpses of already as you start this course, you're

105
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.800
going to have to allow God to protect you.

106
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.600
You cannot continue to go forward in your life being self-defended.

107
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.720
You have to allow yourself to be God-defended.

108
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:18.280
It's very important.

109
00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:22.000
And that includes all the things that you've done to mess stuff up.

110
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.920
I know a lot of times we think we have to lay in the bed that we made, we got to dig

111
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.840
ourselves out of the hole that we dug.

112
00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:27.840
I get it.

113
00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:28.840
I was like that too.

114
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.640
In fact, just a few years ago, I got myself into some really dumb circumstances.

115
00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:36.200
I had made some mistakes.

116
00:05:36.200 --> 00:05:40.640
I had gotten involved in some things that I shouldn't have gotten involved in because

117
00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:44.840
I wasn't paying attention to all the red flags that were flapping in my face.

118
00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:49.360
I was just driving on by, you know, dumb and happy, right?

119
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.440
And I would lay in bed at night and just wonder, how in the world am I going to fix this?

120
00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.200
You know, I already love Jesus.

121
00:05:57.200 --> 00:05:58.640
I was already a leader.

122
00:05:58.640 --> 00:06:00.600
I was already a mentor, a coach.

123
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.440
You know, we make mistakes too.

124
00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:03.960
How am I going to fix this?

125
00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:05.680
How am I going to make this right?

126
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.920
So night after night, I would worry and worry and worry, how am I going to get myself out

127
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:10.920
of this?

128
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.840
And finally, one night, God was just like, hey, how long are you going to do this for?

129
00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:17.040
What?

130
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.880
How long are you going to lay here and worry?

131
00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:21.280
But God, I just don't know what to do.

132
00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.400
I don't know how to get out of this situation.

133
00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:25.960
He said, Jackie, who do you belong to?

134
00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:27.880
And I said, I belong to you.

135
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.520
And he said, well, who do your problems belong to?

136
00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:34.360
I had to think about that one for a second, because, you know, I already told you that

137
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:35.600
this was my mistake.

138
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.840
I made this mess.

139
00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:39.200
And so we think, I made the mess, I got to clean it up.

140
00:06:39.200 --> 00:06:42.040
And so I'm like, um, is this a trick question?

141
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:43.840
My problems belong to me.

142
00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:48.160
And he said, no, if you belong to me, then your problems belong to me.

143
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.520
He said, and guess what?

144
00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:51.080
I don't have any problems.

145
00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:52.080
Boom.

146
00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:53.600
Boom shakalaka.

147
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.800
We have to remember that if we belong to God, then everything that concerns us belongs

148
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:58.800
to God.

149
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.920
And God doesn't have any problems.

150
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.480
God's not staying up at night worried.

151
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:08.320
Do you know that it says in the book of Psalms that God provides for his lovers even while

152
00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:09.680
they're sleeping?

153
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.840
Woo.

154
00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:12.600
That should get you excited.

155
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:19.320
That means you can work yourself to the bone on your own strength and never ever even make

156
00:07:19.320 --> 00:07:27.360
a dent in what you could do if you just surrendered to God and went to sleep, took a little nap

157
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.120
and allowed God to make a way for you.

158
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.800
And so I believe that during this course, you're going to become more God defended than

159
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.040
you've ever been in your life.

160
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:36.800
And you know how we're going to start that?

161
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.440
We're going to start that with an activation during this heart check-in.

162
00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:41.040
I love activations.

163
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.040
I do.

164
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.600
I feel like it helps you to move forward in the things that you're learning.

165
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.480
And so I have something called a Jesus Cares Board.

166
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.480
You know what it is?

167
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.360
It's just a big Post-it note on the wall in my bedroom with little Post-it notes all over

168
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.360
it.

169
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.800
And it has a scripture at the top.

170
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.160
It's 1 Peter 5, 7.

171
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.200
If you're not familiar with that scripture, that scripture simply says, cast your care

172
00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:03.800
upon me because I care for you.

173
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:08.240
And I take that seriously now because remember, God said, I belong to him and everything that

174
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.840
concerns me, everything that I care about also belongs to him.

175
00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:16.440
And so if I have an issue in my life that I can't fix, if there's a problem that I can't

176
00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:20.120
solve, if there's something that I'm confused about and I can't figure it out, I don't know

177
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.960
which way to go, I don't know what decision to make.

178
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:26.240
By the way, if you don't have peace about something, it's okay to not do anything.

179
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.000
It's okay to just sit still until you do have peace.

180
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.000
All right?

181
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.000
That's wise advice.

182
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.000
And so you know what I do?

183
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.559
I just write it on a little Post-it note and I stick it on that big Post-it note on my

184
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:36.559
wall.

185
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.640
That's what I do with it.

186
00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:43.360
I'm releasing it from my hands into his hands and I'm telling him, hey, you got this.

187
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.360
I don't got this.

188
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:45.360
You got this.

189
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.880
And if there's anything that I need to do to help you to solve this problem, to rectify

190
00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:54.720
this situation, if there's something that I need to do, then I'm trusting you to let

191
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.160
me know what my part is, but I'm allowing you to play your part now.

192
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:00.160
I am.

193
00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:02.160
I'm giving you control in this situation.

194
00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:06.040
And you know that those problems that I put on there, a lot of times they just disappear.

195
00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:09.640
I don't even know how they disappear, but apparently they weren't a problem after all.

196
00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:14.080
And then other things I continue to just pray over and continue to release to him.

197
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.040
And you have no idea how freeing this is.

198
00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:22.200
And I really want to encourage you to make this part of your lifestyle as well.

199
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.320
Just learning how to cast your care upon him, learning how to be God defended, learning

200
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.320
how to let him take care of you, learning how to depend on him because that is how he

201
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.360
created you.

202
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.920
He created you to depend on him, not on yourself.

203
00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:36.920
All right.

204
00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:40.560
I cannot wait to get started in understanding these hearts.

205
00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:44.340
We're going to find out how they got broken in the first place, where all this bad information

206
00:09:44.380 --> 00:09:48.980
came from and how it got stuck there and how it's getting in the way of us living this

207
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:51.840
big, beautiful life that God created us to live.

208
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:52.840
And I'll meet you over there.

209
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.340
Ciao for now.
