00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.700
All right, so good morning everybody and welcome to supernatural Saturday as you can see I'm in a

2
00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:11.900
Unfamiliar surrounding it's become familiar to me. I'm in Cartagena, Colombia

3
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:20.240
This is our last morning here. We are headed to the airport and we were here for our very first last trip single

4
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:25.880
Very first one. We had a one-day conference here for the people of Cartagena

5
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:29.580
the ladies of Cartagena and then we had a

6
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:38.800
Retreat a week-long retreat where women from this community. This was a woman-only retreat guys, but don't worry last trip singles for guys, too

7
00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:45.760
We had women from all over the country that are part of our program meet here. There were

8
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.980
13 13 of us. Let me see including David and I think there were 12 of us

9
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.920
And we met here to spend a week together in this beautiful country

10
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.640
You guys the people of this country are beautiful. This country is beautiful

11
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.780
one of our one of our

12
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.880
Students who also is a travel partner for us is actually from here

13
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:15.840
Cartagena is her hometown which is why we decided to make this our first trip and we have seeded this country

14
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:17.320
with

15
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:19.320
the revival of marriage and family

16
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.720
The day that I arrived the news found out

17
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:31.080
VR travel partner that we were going to be here and what we were going to be doing as far as the conference is concerned

18
00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.080
and

19
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.480
They did a news piece on me they interviewed me

20
00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:43.160
Video and the journalist came and it was incredible. Hold on one second

21
00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.480
All right, I'm back so they did a piece and you guys the questions that they asked about

22
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.240
The masculine and feminine and you know machismo is something here where it's very patriarchal society

23
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:08.000
but not in a good way and so women are opting out of being in relationship and

24
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:15.080
The questions that they asked that I was able to give Kingdom answers to because remember this is a Catholic nation

25
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:21.080
Right, so people here are Christian. In fact, my Airbnb is right across let me show you this

26
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.120
I want to give you guys a little bit of a tour here

27
00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:29.280
Let me let me turn my camera around

28
00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:37.800
So this is the front door of this really cute little one kind of one-room Airbnb and let me open the door

29
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.240
And I'm right across from the church

30
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.080
This is Santo Domingo. This is where all of the

31
00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:55.240
This is where all of the monks came to be trained and the priests came to be trained

32
00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:02.440
it's the cloistered community meaning that you know, you look through the little door a little window to get things because they

33
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.840
They didn't see they didn't be out. They weren't out in public

34
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.960
And then that you see these beautiful ladies here. They are part of the African heritage

35
00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:13.720
this country was

36
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.520
One of the countries that had a lot of slaves that came from Africa

37
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:24.080
They brought from Africa to build the wall and to do all the things that the people that lived here

38
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:31.120
Originally were too weak to do the Indian indigenous people. And so that population when it was freed

39
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.840
actually

40
00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:40.120
Populated or settled in the town just north of Cartagena and they come here and

41
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.680
You know dressed in their beautiful heritage and to educate and bring history back to the city

42
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:53.480
and so so many beautiful people so much beautiful history and tradition and culture here and

43
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.440
God is bringing last year single here. I

44
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:05.280
Didn't choose that y'all God shows that he highlighted this nation for that. The Lord told me that

45
00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:09.280
That this was a nation full of hungry people and one of you I

46
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:15.640
Can't I can't remember right offhand who it was one of you either had a dream or a vision during morning prayer

47
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:22.360
That that this nation there were sheep bleeding at the gate. So this is a sheep nation

48
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.720
Guys know the difference between a goat nation and a sheep nation

49
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.800
Right. This is a sheep nation. This means that these people are you know, they might be a little hard-headed, but they're soft-hearted

50
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.320
They're soft-hearted and they want

51
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.360
They want Christ this little boy came up to me yesterday in the street and asked me if I would buy his little brother

52
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.040
Some formula from the pharmacy and I went into the pharmacy with him and I bought him

53
00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:53.320
Formula and some diapers for his little brother and this little boy was probably I don't know probably nine or ten years old and this

54
00:04:53.320 --> 00:04:57.920
Little boy clung to me. Thank you lady. Thank you. Lady. You just clinging to my side

55
00:04:58.440 --> 00:05:00.440
right and I said

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800
No, no gracias.

57
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:03.600
I said, gracias, Jesus.

58
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:10.040
And he was like, Oh, but I see you say Zeus, you know, but a novel idea.

59
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.160
Don't thank me.

60
00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:12.040
Thank Jesus.

61
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:13.880
Thank Jesus.

62
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.800
And so it's just been beautiful.

63
00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:20.520
Um, I've learned a little bit of Spanish and it's really just put in my heart, the

64
00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:24.880
desire to be able to communicate, um, with the people of these Spanish speaking

65
00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:29.960
nations, as you guys know, or maybe you don't know, um, my book, the heart work

66
00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:34.000
was actually published in Spanish.

67
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.080
Um, and that's part of the reason why I'm here is because of that.

68
00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:42.240
And that is a brand new book, La Labor de Corazon.

69
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:48.880
And I am so honored to be able to communicate, um, the healing power of

70
00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:52.960
heart work with, um, with Spanish speaking nations.

71
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.040
And so I got an opportunity to hand a few of these out just randomly

72
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.560
in the streets of Cartagena.

73
00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:03.040
And you should see how people light up when they think, when they, when they

74
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.440
realize that you're the person on the front of the book, that's giving them the

75
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:08.280
book, right?

76
00:06:08.280 --> 00:06:10.800
They're like, Whoa, what's happening here?

77
00:06:11.640 --> 00:06:14.880
This person is on this book and they're giving it to me.

78
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:18.880
And so, um, such a great and amazing thing.

79
00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:22.120
So I wanted to update you on that because today's supernatural

80
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.840
Saturday is about expansion.

81
00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:27.560
It's about expansion.

82
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.400
God wants us to expand.

83
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.000
And so for all of us, that's going to mean something different for me.

84
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.520
And for this movement, it means for us to go into other nations

85
00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:38.240
besides the United States of America.

86
00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:43.160
We're in Columbia right now, but next month in just like three and

87
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.720
a half weeks, we'll be in Canada.

88
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.880
We have a huge and growing community in Western Canada specifically.

89
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.160
And we will be in Calgary for another retreat and conference.

90
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.840
And you guys, we're not going to stop.

91
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:58.160
I'm slated to be the main speaker at a conference in Nigeria.

92
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.760
Um, in just a couple of months now, I'm not going to go there in person

93
00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:06.480
because I opted out of taking the vaccinations, um, because I, you guys

94
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.280
know, I've been dealing with some autoimmune stuff and different things.

95
00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:11.880
I just didn't think it was good for me to travel to Africa.

96
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.560
I felt a check in my spirit about doing that.

97
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.960
I don't think that my body needs that, that, you know,

98
00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:20.960
payload of toxins right now.

99
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:24.800
Um, it doesn't mean I won't go in the future, but I will be the main

100
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.360
speaker at a virtual, it's going to be in-person conference for the people in

101
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.120
Africa, but I will be joining them virtually.

102
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.920
And so that's going to happen.

103
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.440
They've been very excited about that.

104
00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:37.280
They've been planning it for over a year now.

105
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.600
So we're going to be in Africa.

106
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.080
We're going to be in Mexico this year.

107
00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:44.640
We're going to be down in Mexico, not in like, you know, Cancun or,

108
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.120
you know, someplace like that.

109
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.560
Although we are going to have a last trip single in Mexico while

110
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:50.720
we're there for conference.

111
00:07:51.080 --> 00:07:54.560
So we'll be there for a conference in a smaller area, but then we will

112
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.880
go to a more resort area for the purpose of having a last trip single all inclusive.

113
00:07:58.880 --> 00:07:59.840
That will be co-ed.

114
00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:01.920
So mark your calendars for that.

115
00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:06.280
Um, and if you see Mexico on that, save the date, that is what

116
00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:08.480
that is, that the dates for that.

117
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.000
Um, where else are we going this year?

118
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.440
We're going to, to Europe this year, London.

119
00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:19.440
You guys, everyone needs the revival of marriage and family.

120
00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:22.640
Marriage and family are dying everywhere.

121
00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:24.520
And so we're going to be going to London.

122
00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:26.880
We're seeding that you guys, we are seed in these nations.

123
00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:30.880
So expansion for me means, you know, this is a little bit of a travel

124
00:08:30.880 --> 00:08:34.640
year going these places and, you know, and I know that travel seems

125
00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.360
glamorous, but you guys, I'm exhausted.

126
00:08:37.520 --> 00:08:38.440
I'm exhausted.

127
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.000
You know, I'm in the same time zone as Texas.

128
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:41.679
So that's good.

129
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:45.960
This is central time zone, but just the culture and the accommodations

130
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.400
and everything that's happening here, just the vibe and the energy of a city.

131
00:08:50.400 --> 00:08:53.880
The spirit of a city can just exhaust you physically, right?

132
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.240
Because as an intercessor, especially, you know, I'm picking up on all of the

133
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.640
hurt and suffering and all the different things happening and also the potential

134
00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:04.280
of this area in this region.

135
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:09.200
Um, and so, uh, I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

136
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.000
I'm willing to go physically.

137
00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:15.360
And so into these nations and these places, and obviously we're all

138
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.040
going because we're all praying.

139
00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:23.120
And that is going to be a portion of our prayer that we have, um, over, over

140
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.760
these, over these nations, as we start prayer every single day of the week,

141
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.360
we'll be adding this expansion prayer into our prayer time.

142
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.280
So what does expansion mean for you?

143
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.160
Well, let me tell you what expansion means for you.

144
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.120
One of the, one of the things that expansion means for you, and that is a

145
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:46.080
word that God gave me, and that will be the focus of today's supernatural Saturday.

146
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.320
So I have some friends, they're a married couple, and they're really

147
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.840
an incredible married couple.

148
00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:52.200
Incredible.

149
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:58.440
And they got some new opportunities to take some new territory, um, and to do

150
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.000
some things that they don't usually.

151
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.440
do in ministry.

152
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.560
And that required travel to some other countries, and not just like tourism travel, but travel

153
00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:12.000
where they're being invited to speak to very important people that are heads of governments

154
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.560
and leadership in other countries.

155
00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:19.400
And so I began to pray for them, and God gave me a word.

156
00:10:19.400 --> 00:10:21.400
And he showed me a picture of toucans.

157
00:10:21.400 --> 00:10:23.960
Do you guys know the bird, the toucans?

158
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.600
Now up until this point, I got to be honest with you, the only toucan that I knew was

159
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.160
the one from the Froot Loops box.

160
00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:35.120
So I didn't really, you know, toucans are not on my radar at all, but he showed me this.

161
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.960
And so I did a quick study of toucans to see like, hey, why am I getting this word for

162
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.000
my friends, right?

163
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.760
Remember these people, they've been married for decades, they're incredible, very maturely

164
00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:52.240
spiritual couple, really great marriage and family and all of the things.

165
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.640
And so what the Lord showed me about toucans, you can write this down if you want to, is

166
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:03.960
that they live in the canopies of the jungle, of the forest.

167
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.600
So they live in the high places.

168
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.240
They don't live in the low places, they live in the high places, that's the very first

169
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.240
thing.

170
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.400
They live in the high places, but they don't just live in the high places alone, they live

171
00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:18.000
in the high places in community.

172
00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:24.040
This is a very social animal and it's one of the species, get it, wait for it, that

173
00:11:24.040 --> 00:11:28.120
is considered to mate for life.

174
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.080
The people that study animals say that this is one of the species, okay, it's one of the

175
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:39.600
bird species that seems to be monogamous to their mate and mate for life, like kind of

176
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.600
stay together.

177
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.320
There's some other birds that do that as well, there's some other animals and mammals and

178
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.960
different things that do that, but this is one of the bird species that does that, okay?

179
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:55.000
So dwells in the high places, Sarah, don't get ahead of me, girlfriend, dwells in the

180
00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:02.960
high places, all right, and then mates for life and dwells in the high places where there's

181
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:09.320
lots of mature fruit, mature fruit, you guys.

182
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.840
The fruit is ripe, lots of ripe fruit in the high places, lots of mature fruit in the high

183
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.840
places.

184
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:20.040
So I gave my friends this word, that I saw them dwelling with a community of other married

185
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:24.600
people that were very fruitful, that had very mature fruit in their lives, that were in

186
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.680
the high places.

187
00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:28.160
This is the word that I gave them, right?

188
00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:31.480
And I was thinking to myself, I think that my husband and I are probably some of those

189
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:38.960
friends, you know, and so then I started to travel here to Cartagena and I started seeing

190
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.800
toucans everywhere, okay?

191
00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:47.040
Our travel partner that helped to orchestrate this whole thing had toucans on the wall in

192
00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:48.040
their hotel room.

193
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:55.800
When I went to the island, when I went to the island, this old man, this Cartagenian,

194
00:12:55.800 --> 00:13:01.320
he had carved a toucan and was trying to sell it to me and I bought it and then there were

195
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.920
other toucan sightings and I said, Lord, I said, there's a lot more to this word.

196
00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:11.680
And he said, yes, Jackie, he said, the word is one can't, but two can.

197
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:17.240
One can't, but two can.

198
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:18.560
And you guys, that's not just marriage.

199
00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:21.760
It is about divine marriage and divine partnership.

200
00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:25.800
Very, very, very much about marriage and divine partnership, especially for this group of

201
00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.800
people y'all here.

202
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.800
Okay.

203
00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:29.400
And I want you to get ahold of that.

204
00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:30.400
One can't.

205
00:13:30.400 --> 00:13:32.480
There are things that you've never been able to accomplish.

206
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.400
There's things that you've beat your head against the wall trying to do.

207
00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:39.960
There's all kinds of stuff that you've tried to figure out or tried to get past or tried

208
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.680
to get over and you can't do it because you need your partner.

209
00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:46.440
One can't, but two can.

210
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:52.560
One could put a flight to thousand, but two, 10,000, right?

211
00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:55.280
Allegiant.

212
00:13:55.280 --> 00:14:01.360
So important that we understand that exponentially we're better together.

213
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.480
And for some of you that isn't going to just be a romantic equation of two can, it's going

214
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:12.440
to be, maybe you've been trying to do something in your life besides that and you just can't

215
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.680
do it on your own, but God has a person for you.

216
00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:16.680
Maybe you're trying to get healthy.

217
00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:18.680
God has a trainer for you.

218
00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:21.800
One can't, but two can.

219
00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:26.840
You know, you're trying to, you know, change your love life and you come in and ask me

220
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.840
to be your coach.

221
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.480
One can't, but two can, right?

222
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.600
We're better together.

223
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.600
We can do this together.

224
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:38.560
You know, maybe you have a business or you have a puzzle piece to a business, but you

225
00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:41.800
can never figure out how to really get it off the ground because you're missing another

226
00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:46.600
puzzle piece because one can't, but two can.

227
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.360
God wants us to partner.

228
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.680
He wants us to partner first and foremost with heaven in agreement.

229
00:14:52.680 --> 00:14:57.560
And then he wants us to partner with others and not just anybody, right?

230
00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:58.880
It's not just about just anybody.

231
00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:00.040
It's about divine partnership.

232
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.240
ship. And so I want to pray into that today. I'm gonna stop my

233
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:08.120
video because it keeps freezing. I want to pray into one camp a

234
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:12.640
toucan. And you guys, I'm going to, I'm going to make some

235
00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:15.920
t-shirts with some toucans on them, I'm going to do all kinds

236
00:15:15.920 --> 00:15:18.240
of fun things. I really feel like God wants us to go after

237
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.800
this as a community. Because it's kind of like going to

238
00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:24.560
become our mascot, the little toucans going to become our

239
00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:29.120
mascot here for a little while. And they're cute, y'all. These

240
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.320
are cute. These are cute little birds. They're not really little

241
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.840
but yeah, they're cute. And so Lord, I just thank you right

242
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.560
now. I thank you that you have created us for each other that

243
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:44.520
you've created us to partner together. We don't belong living

244
00:15:44.520 --> 00:15:49.960
a solitary life. We don't belong living alone and doing things on

245
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.240
our own. Independence was never our nature. It's never our

246
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.640
nature. It's part of the curse nature. It's not part of our

247
00:15:56.640 --> 00:15:59.840
divine nature. We've not been created to be independent. We've

248
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.400
been created to be codependent and interdependent. Yes, ladies.

249
00:16:03.760 --> 00:16:06.400
Yes, gentlemen, I said codependent. Because

250
00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:08.680
codependent and interdependent are the same word. They're

251
00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:12.840
synonyms of the same word. So Father, you've created us to

252
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.240
lean on each other to need each other, not just want each other.

253
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:22.520
And so Lord, we lean into those truths today. Anything in our

254
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:25.640
heart that's blocking us from really making the confession

255
00:16:25.640 --> 00:16:28.480
that we need others, God, I pray that you would reveal it and

256
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.240
heal it. It's safe to say I want something but not always safe.

257
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:37.840
Not only feel it not always feel safe to say I need something. But

258
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.720
it was you God that said at the beginning of time, it's not good

259
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.280
for a man to be alone. He need a super a suit. He needs a suitable

260
00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:51.880
helper. You use the word need Lord and so now we use it too.

261
00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:56.320
We use it to now. So Lord, we thank you that we come into

262
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.280
agreement with heaven and all of the ideas that you have had

263
00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:05.920
around relationship and family in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. So I

264
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.079
want you to begin to think about what expansion means over your

265
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:13.319
life. All of you are seed of this movement. And so the

266
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.200
expansion that I'm talking about includes each and every one of

267
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:20.599
you. Each and every one of you are included in that. When you

268
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.920
when you go into your communities, when you go into

269
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.119
your, your, your spiritual communities, when you go into

270
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.160
your community, your workplace, the schools that you teach at

271
00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:33.520
anywhere and everywhere, you are seed of revival of marriage and

272
00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:37.160
family, you are revivalists. I can't tell you how many people

273
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.960
have said even at this retreat, I went around the room with the

274
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:42.880
10 women that are here and said, Hey, how did you get here? How

275
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.520
did you hear about this movement? And almost all of them

276
00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:53.240
heard through somebody else. Right? What's happening there?

277
00:17:54.560 --> 00:18:01.040
One can't but you can. You guys, we're not to be gatekeepers on

278
00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:03.200
the revival of marriage and family. What does that mean? It

279
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.800
means closing the gate, keeping it to yourself. That slang that

280
00:18:06.800 --> 00:18:10.440
we're using in modern society to say, Hey, you found a secret,

281
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.640
you found a secret tunnel, you found a shortcut, but you're not

282
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:16.160
going to tell anybody else about it, because you don't want

283
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.400
everyone else to know about it. You want to stay ahead of the

284
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.920
game. No, we don't do that in the kingdom. We don't gatekeep.

285
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.520
We open the gates wide and we say, Hey, whoever wants to come

286
00:18:28.520 --> 00:18:35.160
come. I can tell you from experience that the majority of

287
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:39.000
people won't come. You guys realize that the kingdom way is

288
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:46.320
a narrow way, right? The kingdom way is a narrow way. The Bible

289
00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:51.200
talks about it. And so if you ever are worried about, Hey, the

290
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.840
line's going to get too long, I better keep this to myself.

291
00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:59.200
That's just not going to happen. You've been handpicked by heaven

292
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:06.360
and you said yes. You've been handpicked by heaven. And you

293
00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:10.440
said yes. That's what the scripture means that it says

294
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.000
many are called but fewer chosen. That word chosen doesn't

295
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.720
have anything to do with elitism. It doesn't have to do

296
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.120
with exclusivity. The word chosen is actually translated in

297
00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:24.600
its original language as answer. So let's let's say that

298
00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:28.240
scripture again, with the translation, many are called but

299
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:34.880
few answer. That needs to just sink in really quick for all of

300
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.360
you. Many are called but few answer that call. People are

301
00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:45.200
calling, they're getting called. But they just want to keep doing

302
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.360
it their own way. I put a post in phase three yesterday, I

303
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:59.080
think said, Hey, James 513, James 516. Confess. Were you

304
00:19:59.080 --> 00:19:59.880
struggling?

305
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.600
Show up, repent, right?

306
00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:10.200
Turn around, go different way.

307
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.240
Many are called to do what?

308
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:22.680
Jeremiah 6, 16, to go the way of the Lord, to go the way of the Lord, to take his good

309
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.680
path.

310
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:29.300
But some people just decide to take the hard path still.

311
00:20:29.300 --> 00:20:34.300
They take the path that's their own way.

312
00:20:34.300 --> 00:20:40.100
So I don't want you to feel like the kingdom is exclusive to the haves and it's kept from

313
00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:47.900
the have-nots because that's not true.

314
00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:49.460
It's not true at all.

315
00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:55.020
And so that's a healing word for someone because it makes you every time, every time you hear

316
00:20:55.020 --> 00:20:59.740
that verse, that verse has really irritated you because you have felt like you weren't

317
00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.740
going to be chosen.

318
00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:02.660
Raise your hand if that's you.

319
00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:03.660
You've heard that verse.

320
00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:05.300
Many are called, but few are chosen.

321
00:21:05.300 --> 00:21:08.660
You just felt like you were going to be left out, left behind, that you weren't going to

322
00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:11.060
be one of the chosen ones.

323
00:21:11.060 --> 00:21:16.020
So this, this interpretation of this verse should be giving you a lot of freedom.

324
00:21:16.020 --> 00:21:19.900
But it comes out when you rinse it.

325
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:28.220
It's giving you a lot of freedom because you realize now that when you said yes and

326
00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:33.860
you answered the call, you were immediately chosen.

327
00:21:33.860 --> 00:21:35.660
Now the sprayway is just spraying.

328
00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:38.580
So let's get this person muted, whoever's talking.

329
00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.580
Let's find out.

330
00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:40.580
Come on.

331
00:21:40.580 --> 00:21:48.540
Got a little distractions and disruptions this morning, but that's all right.

332
00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:55.220
Yes, Serene, you answered the call.

333
00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.220
All right.

334
00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:59.940
So for those of you that put your hand up, be free from that.

335
00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:04.940
You were called and you answered the call and now you are chosen to be a revivalist

336
00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:09.980
of marriage and family and thank God for you.

337
00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:10.980
Thank God for you.

338
00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.980
All right.

339
00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:13.740
So let's talk about expansion.

340
00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:19.540
There's Holy Spirit highlighting that you need help, that you need partnership and not

341
00:22:19.540 --> 00:22:20.780
just your love life.

342
00:22:20.780 --> 00:22:24.980
Yes, obviously Kingdom Partnership is on the move.

343
00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:28.720
It's on the move and each and every one of you are called to it.

344
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:33.180
That's why you're here and you are chosen for it because you answered that call to it.

345
00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:37.780
Guys, I saw this really great post by this girl that I'm friends with on Facebook.

346
00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:40.060
I don't even really know how we became friends.

347
00:22:40.060 --> 00:22:41.300
You guys know that happens, right?

348
00:22:41.300 --> 00:22:42.660
You got friends on Facebook.

349
00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.820
You don't know how you got them.

350
00:22:43.820 --> 00:22:45.420
You don't know who they are.

351
00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:49.420
But her post was about getting married.

352
00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:53.380
She had pictures of her wedding and I'm like, oh, is this one of our brides?

353
00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:58.300
And then I quickly glanced through it and I was like, no, it's not.

354
00:22:58.300 --> 00:23:05.860
But she did a post, a very vulnerable post.

355
00:23:05.860 --> 00:23:11.860
And in that vulnerable post, he said, I had all these dreams from God and I was on the

356
00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:18.500
track and I was doing all these things, you know, and then I met the guy, right?

357
00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:22.860
She said that I met him and then I was confused because I realized, please listen to this

358
00:23:22.860 --> 00:23:24.180
next thing.

359
00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:31.180
I then realized in order to be in love with this guy, right, in order to fall in love

360
00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:37.780
with him, in order to go with him, that she was going to have to kind of get off the road

361
00:23:37.780 --> 00:23:39.780
that she was on.

362
00:23:39.780 --> 00:23:44.740
And she was confused by that and she went to the Lord and she was like, God, you know,

363
00:23:44.740 --> 00:23:45.740
I don't understand.

364
00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:50.140
You know, I love this guy and I know that this relationship's from you and, you know,

365
00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:53.900
we're in love and, you know, we want to get married and all the things.

366
00:23:53.900 --> 00:23:58.700
But if I marry him, that means that I'm going to have to leave this place and I'm going

367
00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:02.900
to have to leave this work that I'm doing and that I've been putting my hands to that's

368
00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:05.460
been so successful for your kingdom.

369
00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:10.540
And God said, well, of course you are.

370
00:24:10.540 --> 00:24:15.980
And she didn't understand that because she was like, but wait, this is what I'm called

371
00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.980
to do.

372
00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:21.140
And he said, well, yeah, but didn't you realize that when you accepted, come on, this other

373
00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:26.860
calling of marriage that you were going to have to let go of this calling?

374
00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:32.180
Someone needs to hear that this morning.

375
00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:37.540
Someone needs to hear that this morning because you don't understand that just because God

376
00:24:37.540 --> 00:24:41.380
asked you to do something at a certain season and time in your life does not mean you're

377
00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:43.220
going to be doing it forever.

378
00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:48.300
I can't tell you how many people come to me and block themselves from divine partnership

379
00:24:48.300 --> 00:24:54.020
because they were called to a specific country during a specific season.

380
00:24:54.020 --> 00:24:58.420
And now they're on sabbatical and they're wanting partnership because God's put that

381
00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:59.580
in their hearts.

382
00:24:59.580 --> 00:25:00.080
But now they.

383
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.840
They are interviewing every person they meet to see if that person also has a burning passion

384
00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:07.840
for that country.

385
00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:10.840
And if they don't, then they're just dismissing them.

386
00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:15.440
Maybe you're not going back to that country.

387
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.080
Maybe you'll be an intercessor for that country for as long as you're on the earth, but maybe

388
00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:21.680
you're not going to live there again.

389
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:27.320
You don't have to vet people out according to any type of calling that you have carried

390
00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:31.560
in your life.

391
00:25:31.560 --> 00:25:35.940
You don't.

392
00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:41.400
When you are called to marriage, when you are called to partnership, other things are

393
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.800
going to unlock and unseal that you were never able to see in your life, that you never even

394
00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:51.600
knew about in your life.

395
00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:53.400
You didn't know you were going to be called to those things.

396
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.800
You didn't even know that you had those gifts and talents and you want to know why?

397
00:25:56.800 --> 00:26:03.360
Because one can't, but two can.

398
00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:04.880
God wasn't going to tell you about that.

399
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.880
You want to know why?

400
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:08.240
Because one can't.

401
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.360
Why would he frustrate you with that information?

402
00:26:10.360 --> 00:26:13.640
Because one can't.

403
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:23.360
When David and I got married, almost as soon as we got married, stuff started unlocking.

404
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:28.760
Fear started unlocking, passion started unlocking, and not just for each other.

405
00:26:28.760 --> 00:26:32.760
Passion for God's kingdom and doing things that neither one of us had ever seen ourselves

406
00:26:32.760 --> 00:26:33.760
doing.

407
00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:38.440
Because we've been married for 17 years, do you think that 17 years ago we knew that we

408
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:43.400
were going to have a movement for the revival of marriage and family?

409
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:44.400
I mean, come on, y'all.

410
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:45.400
Both of us had been divorced.

411
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:50.200
We had gone through ministry divorces, so that's just like, that's like the unpardonable

412
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:51.200
sin.

413
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.600
You're in ministry and you got divorced, you're done.

414
00:26:55.600 --> 00:27:01.440
Just go ahead and go in the church basement because that's where you're working now.

415
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:05.720
You're working down there so no one can see you.

416
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:11.160
We're going to hide you because we're ashamed of you.

417
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.760
That didn't happen to me because my pastor went to prison.

418
00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:19.840
But it definitely happened to my husband at a certain level because he had a platform

419
00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:20.840
for ministry.

420
00:27:20.840 --> 00:27:23.080
And then his wife deconstructed her faith and left.

421
00:27:23.080 --> 00:27:26.400
And they were like, well, bro, if you can't keep your wife together, then you can't do

422
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:27.400
ministry.

423
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:36.480
Do you think that we thought that we were going to have a movement of marriage and family?

424
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:42.920
Neither one of us probably ever even thought we were going to get married again.

425
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.040
Do you see how things unlock and unseal?

426
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:54.320
Do you see how opportunities come when that divine partnership happens?

427
00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:57.680
Because we had to say yes.

428
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.520
We were called, but we had to say yes.

429
00:28:00.520 --> 00:28:03.120
And there were a lot of things that we had to overcome to say yes.

430
00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:12.080
And there were a lot of things that we had to let go of to say yes to marrying each other.

431
00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:15.160
We were on an independent path.

432
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.800
And we had to come into an interdependent path.

433
00:28:17.800 --> 00:28:22.480
And it was quite different than the independent paths that we had been on.

434
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:37.920
But it was necessary in order for us to dwell together, in order for us to walk together.

435
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.680
I know there's this old, archaic idea that a man has a calling and a woman is supposed

436
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:47.120
to come on board his calling and walk with him and be his helper.

437
00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:50.280
And that's because people misinterpreted those scriptures from Genesis.

438
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:01.920
Man needs a suitable helper isn't, oh, this is man's destiny and this is the man show.

439
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.680
And then, you know, we need to give him a servant.

440
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.960
We need to give him a helper.

441
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:10.680
We need to give him a cook and a maid and a child rearer.

442
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:13.160
That's not what that meant.

443
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:20.040
It meant all God ever wanted was a family.

444
00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:25.200
And one person ain't a family.

445
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:31.000
God wanted his family to dwell in community and in family.

446
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.000
Enter Eve.

447
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:39.480
Bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.

448
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.720
A whole different view of God in the feminine.

449
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.440
But better together.

450
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.360
You got it.

451
00:29:47.360 --> 00:29:48.200
Better together.

452
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.000
So it's not about your calling or my calling.

453
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.280
It's about our calling.

454
00:29:55.280 --> 00:29:56.640
It's no longer about me.

455
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:57.640
It's about we.

456
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.800
It's about we.

457
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.440
So many things are going to shift and change.

458
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:07.640
And here's the problem that a lot of you are having.

459
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.140
You're trying to find a love story that fits you.

460
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.360
Not understanding that when you get married,

461
00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:19.160
you are going to change.

462
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:28.000
You're trying to find a romance that fits your life

463
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.840
and fits your schedule and fits your geographic location.

464
00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:33.360
And I know some of you have shared parenting.

465
00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:34.680
And so that's part of your assignment.

466
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.160
Your children are your assignment in the season.

467
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.360
And of course that has to be part of that love story.

468
00:30:40.360 --> 00:30:42.660
But for the rest of you, uh-uh, no.

469
00:30:44.840 --> 00:30:46.540
You gotta be willing to go.

470
00:30:52.540 --> 00:30:56.680
You have to be willing to let go of all non-negotiables

471
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:01.240
that are not from heaven, every one of them.

472
00:31:08.040 --> 00:31:10.600
And this is why some of you are stuck,

473
00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:12.760
is you say that you want this partnership.

474
00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:19.800
But at the same time, you have developed a life

475
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:24.400
where you've adopted the mantra of one can.

476
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.160
This is good enough.

477
00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:30.640
I don't need anything that I can't do myself,

478
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:32.380
that I can't get done myself.

479
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.020
I've created a life where I depend on only me.

480
00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:42.400
And here's the thing,

481
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.280
there's some things that you can do for sure,

482
00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:46.960
but you're missing out on so much more

483
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:51.800
because there's so much more for you.

484
00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:56.760
But it's on the other side of you letting go of your plan.

485
00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:08.720
One can't, but two can, and that's the plan.

486
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.560
I felt like saying, one can't, but two can,

487
00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:15.240
that's the plan, Batman.

488
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.680
Okay, so anyway, Batman had a Robin, just wanna tell ya.

489
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.640
So stop trying to fit this love story into whatever,

490
00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:29.680
even ministry paradigm.

491
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.280
And those of you that that's what you're doing,

492
00:32:32.280 --> 00:32:35.040
you really feel justified in doing that

493
00:32:35.040 --> 00:32:38.000
because, well, you know, God called me to do this.

494
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.320
Okay, but that's just one calling.

495
00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:42.520
Did you think you were only gonna get

496
00:32:42.520 --> 00:32:43.840
one calling on this earth?

497
00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:49.040
I'm just wrecking a whole bunch of people's theology

498
00:32:49.040 --> 00:32:51.760
up in here this morning, and that's all right.

499
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.720
Because I will tell you, I met Jesus 28 years ago,

500
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.760
and he immediately took me into ministry to trafficked women.

501
00:32:59.760 --> 00:33:01.240
And I did that for 10 years.

502
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:02.480
And I worked at the homeless shelter,

503
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.960
and I went to school to be a psychologist.

504
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.680
And I worked in social work.

505
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:09.640
And then I had a child, and then as soon as I had a child,

506
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.760
I went into a whole different type of work.

507
00:33:12.760 --> 00:33:13.720
And then I was over here.

508
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.600
And then one day, out of the blue,

509
00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:18.000
I was standing in the middle of a foyer

510
00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:19.680
waiting for my husband who was in a meeting,

511
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.920
and some stranger walked up to me and said,

512
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:23.720
you belong in television.

513
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:25.840
And I was like, okay, that sounds good.

514
00:33:25.840 --> 00:33:27.480
And I went home and I said, God, is this you?

515
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.320
And he said, yeah.

516
00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:31.040
And so I called every TV station in my community

517
00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:33.440
until one of them gave me an internship.

518
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.880
And then I became the general manager of that TV station.

519
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.000
Shall we go on?

520
00:33:41.320 --> 00:33:44.880
If you wanna know how I became the leader

521
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.320
of a revival of marriage and family,

522
00:33:47.320 --> 00:33:49.840
it's because when God says who wants to go,

523
00:33:49.840 --> 00:33:51.240
I'm like, I'll do it.

524
00:33:55.320 --> 00:33:56.160
I'll do it.

525
00:33:58.080 --> 00:33:59.800
I know that we look in the Bible and we're like,

526
00:33:59.800 --> 00:34:03.600
well, I'm a Mary, or I'm an Esther, or I'm a Joseph,

527
00:34:03.600 --> 00:34:06.360
or I'm a Gideon, or I'm a this, or I'm a...

528
00:34:06.360 --> 00:34:08.400
No, y'all, you're none of those things.

529
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:09.320
You're a you.

530
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.239
And you know what?

531
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:17.600
We live in a time when God is asking you to be divergent.

532
00:34:19.560 --> 00:34:20.960
You're not a one trick pony.

533
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.159
There are all kinds of things, all kinds of things.

534
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:29.520
I know that we think that we're just born

535
00:34:29.520 --> 00:34:31.719
with all of our gifts and talents intact.

536
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:33.480
Whatever you got, that's what you have.

537
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:34.560
That's not true.

538
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:38.320
God can empower you to do anything.

539
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:41.880
I didn't have any experience or any knowledge

540
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:45.120
of any of the things that I have done in my life,

541
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:49.639
but I was willing to learn,

542
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:52.440
and I was willing to supernaturally be accelerated.

543
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:59.440
I did not look like Sarah at the deadness of my own heart.

544
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.680
womb. I did not look at my own inability or disqualification. I didn't.

545
00:35:08.560 --> 00:35:13.520
I didn't have confidence in my own flesh that, oh, I'm so smart or I'm so beautiful or I'm so this

546
00:35:13.520 --> 00:35:18.960
and I can just figure it out. No, I had confidence in my God. You called me to do this and so you're

547
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:28.400
going to tell me how to do it. I have a ministry friend who God told him to take this engineering

548
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:34.800
test. You guys, he had no schooling whatsoever at all and he went to the test and I know that

549
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:40.880
this is going to flip somebody on your lid, but God gave him the answers to the test and he passed

550
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:47.440
and he got a job in a field that he was not qualified to be in. Like, how is that possible?

551
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:54.560
Because it is and it happened and I know him personally, so it's not some made up story.

552
00:35:55.120 --> 00:36:00.160
You're like, well, why would God do that? You've got to earn it. You've got to pay your dues. Do

553
00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:09.120
you? Is that biblical? The only verse that I know in the Bible that talks about a process, because

554
00:36:09.120 --> 00:36:14.240
where there's promise, there's process, but no one said how long that process is. For some people it's

555
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:20.560
quick and for others it's longer, but the only scripture in the book of wisdom says that God's

556
00:36:20.560 --> 00:36:28.000
increase comes without sorrow. God can mature people pretty quickly though when they yield to

557
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:38.640
his power. So what I'm saying is don't box yourself in. It's expansion time. Don't box yourself in.

558
00:36:38.640 --> 00:36:42.240
So many of you have been boxing yourselves in and you've been boxing your love story in.

559
00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:46.720
Because you're boxed in and so you just expect that your love story has to fit the small box

560
00:36:46.720 --> 00:36:53.440
that you're already living in and it does not. It could be the thing that God uses to get you

561
00:36:53.440 --> 00:37:00.080
someplace besides where you are. So many people have come to me and said, oh Jackie, my heart's

562
00:37:00.080 --> 00:37:05.600
broken because I was dating this person and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get married

563
00:37:06.560 --> 00:37:11.840
So many people have come to me and said, oh Jackie, my heart's broken because I was dating this person

564
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:17.440
and it looked so favorable and I got the courage to go ahead and relocate and I moved to where

565
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.520
they were because we were supposed to get engaged and get married, or maybe they did get engaged,

566
00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:26.960
but then for whatever reason the relationship was broken off. And now they're in this other

567
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:31.120
geographic location that they moved to to be with this person, but they're not with this person.

568
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:35.760
But guess what? In every single situation I was like, well, you know,

569
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.000
maybe God used that person to get you to this geographic location. Did you ever consider that?

570
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:48.480
Whatever it was that caused you to be willing to move,

571
00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:54.480
make me willing to be made willing, God, in the day of your power, look around and see

572
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:59.120
why are you there? And in every single situation,

573
00:37:59.120 --> 00:38:06.000
it was a massive blessing for them to be in that new place. It opened up all kinds of doors.

574
00:38:08.160 --> 00:38:13.440
In fact, every single one of them, as far as I know, have gotten into new relationship,

575
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:19.120
new jobs, new frontiers, new assignments.

576
00:38:25.040 --> 00:38:32.160
It seems like the older that people get, the more, the smaller their lives get. That's not,

577
00:38:32.160 --> 00:38:37.200
that's not the way it should be because the older that you get, the more wisdom that you have,

578
00:38:37.200 --> 00:38:41.680
the more experience that you have, the more that you have to give in most cases,

579
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:44.640
don't keep yourself to yourself.

580
00:38:44.640 --> 00:38:57.600
It's time for us to receive new assignments. I see that in the spirit right now.

581
00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:03.520
I see that in the spirit right now. Like, you know, we are the Ekklesia.

582
00:39:05.120 --> 00:39:09.920
We are the church. And you guys know that that word Ekklesia, that is a military term.

583
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:14.960
And so what I see in the spirit right now is just like in the military, when you finish one

584
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:19.360
assignment, you get papers for your next assignment. Some people are getting papers on this

585
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:26.320
call this morning. You're receiving your papers for your next assignment, for your next deployment.

586
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:34.880
You are receiving that. Close your eyes right now, everybody. Close your eyes. God wants to give you

587
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:43.920
your next assignment. He wants to give you those papers. Eyes closed. I can see y'all.

588
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:49.440
You're on camera. Close them eyes. Stop paying attention to other people. Close your eyes.

589
00:39:49.440 --> 00:40:02.720
Let the Lord speak to you. You can't be typing if you have your eyes closed. I should be typing.

590
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.000
see no comments coming up in the chat. I should have been a teacher somewhere.

591
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:09.840
There's a first grade classroom that is missing their teacher right now, right?

592
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:19.520
Father God, we thank you, Lord. We thank you that you created us for great things.

593
00:40:20.080 --> 00:40:24.880
You created us to be world changers, Lord. And so everyone who's been living a small life,

594
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.920
living a life that is not what you had planned for them, but what they have planned for themselves

595
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:34.240
to keep themselves safe. Lord, I pray that you would just prick their hearts this morning.

596
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:39.200
Their hearts would be softened, God. Their hearts would be wooed and drawn,

597
00:40:39.200 --> 00:40:43.440
God, into the bigger of what you have for them, into expansion, Lord.

598
00:40:47.040 --> 00:40:51.840
Lord, we pray, God, that anything that's been blocking them, God, any kind of inferiority,

599
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:57.120
any kind of shame, any kind of guilt, Lord, any kind of religious ideas of what they can

600
00:40:57.120 --> 00:41:01.920
and cannot do, Lord, I pray, God, that those things would fall like idols at their feet.

601
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:10.880
You are the one true and living God. Jesus, you are the king of our hearts,

602
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:14.800
and you have proven and shown us that we can do all things through you.

603
00:41:15.680 --> 00:41:19.760
It's not based on our flesh or the frailty of our flesh. It's not based on our qualifications.

604
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.720
It's not based on our abilities. It's based on your performance at the finished work of the cross.

605
00:41:26.640 --> 00:41:31.040
So we step into that grace right now. We step into that empowerment right now.

606
00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:35.600
And we ask, God, that you would supernaturally begin to give new assignments,

607
00:41:36.720 --> 00:41:42.480
supernaturally begin to open up horizons, open up frontiers for your sons and daughters.

608
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:51.760
For this beautiful ecclesia, Lord, that you have put together. Now is the time. And, Father,

609
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:58.080
we pray even now, God, that the people that are needed for those assignments come and lock arms

610
00:41:58.080 --> 00:42:05.440
with your sons and daughters. One can't, but two can. And so, Lord, we declare that over each and

611
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:11.120
every one of them right now. We thank you, God. We thank you, God, that you have written people

612
00:42:11.120 --> 00:42:17.920
into our stories, that our stories are vast and rich and full of adventure and full of excitement

613
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:25.040
and anticipation, full of the miraculous wonder of heaven coming to earth through us.

614
00:42:26.640 --> 00:42:32.240
And they include people in those stories. Father, I'm so thankful that we're all written into each

615
00:42:32.240 --> 00:42:37.120
other's story, that you saw this moment before the beginning of time, that we would all be here

616
00:42:37.120 --> 00:42:42.240
together, leaning into heaven and hearing from you. You saw this moment. You saw who would be

617
00:42:42.240 --> 00:42:47.520
here, Lord. And so, Lord, I thank you that just like that, God, you have planned and purposed and

618
00:42:47.520 --> 00:42:52.400
predicted our days and our moments in the book that you've written about each and every one of

619
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:57.600
us. Now help us to get in convergence with that book. Help us to step into the pages of that book,

620
00:42:57.600 --> 00:43:03.280
to step out of the pages of what trauma has written, to step out of the pages of what

621
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:08.560
religion has written, to step out of the pages of what our mistakes and our missteps have written,

622
00:43:08.560 --> 00:43:16.640
and to step into the pages that you have written for us and about us. Let us be willing to be made

623
00:43:16.640 --> 00:43:21.040
willing in the day of your power. God, let us be willing to be made willing in the day of your

624
00:43:21.040 --> 00:43:29.120
power to release the pen, God, to stop writing and adding in, Lord, and to allow you to lead and

625
00:43:29.120 --> 00:43:35.360
guide us. We know the way we should go, Lord, but you are the one that orders our steps. And so,

626
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:41.840
today, right now, we agree as a group to no longer lean into our own understanding,

627
00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:48.320
but to acknowledge you in all of our ways, to acknowledge that there's a better way,

628
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:52.560
that there's a righteous way, that there's a divine way, that there's a supernatural way,

629
00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:59.600
and allow you to lead and guide us and direct our paths. So, we thank you for that, Lord. We

630
00:43:59.600 --> 00:44:05.680
thank you that it doesn't have to be easy to be you. It just has to be worth it. In Jesus' name,

631
00:44:05.680 --> 00:44:10.720
let it be done. Amen. We're going to cut off a little early today because I have to travel,

632
00:44:10.720 --> 00:44:15.280
but I want to tell you this. Tomorrow on Supernatural, I'm sorry, tomorrow on Activation,

633
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.720
we're going to have a prophetic night. It is our prophetic night. We do it once a month,

634
00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:23.200
and it is tomorrow night. Please show up. We'll have our whole prayer team there, or most of us,

635
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:28.880
but I want you to share what papers you got. You might not have gotten them right now,

636
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:33.280
but as you continue to pray into this between now and tomorrow night, God's going to speak to your

637
00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:37.760
heart. It's going to drop little thoughts and ideas of things you could do. Maybe it was even

638
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:41.840
just a vacation that dropped in your heart right now that you want to take, or someplace you want

639
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:47.600
to go, or something that you want to volunteer to do, or it doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be

640
00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:52.640
big and bombastic to be God because you have no idea where it led. I want to remind you that I've

641
00:44:52.640 --> 00:44:58.160
gotten to where I am in ministry and in life by saying yes to working at a daycare. That's

642
00:44:58.160 --> 00:44:59.920
where it all started, and look where it's all led.

643
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.920
All right, God is so good and he is looking for his ekklesia and that is us.

644
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:08.920
I love y'all.

645
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:09.920
Go with Christ.

646
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:10.420
See you soon.
