1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.120
All right, hey everyone, welcome to Supernatural Sunday.

2
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.880
We just make it work, right?

3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:15.220
I hope you guys had a great time yesterday having prayer for the community and tonight

4
00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.920
we're going to do our regular Supernatural Saturday fair.

5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.900
If you're new and we do have some newbies, if you are new, we usually have this time

6
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:31.780
together on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. Central, 7 p.m. Pacific, and we call

7
00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:33.740
it Supernatural Saturday.

8
00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:39.060
And what we do on this session is we just lean into the current prophetic reality of

9
00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.340
heaven.

10
00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:41.940
What is God doing?

11
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:43.180
What is he up to?

12
00:00:43.180 --> 00:00:47.340
And so we want to lean into that and so we do that together on Saturday mornings and

13
00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:48.860
it is amazing.

14
00:00:48.860 --> 00:00:50.220
I have a fun announcement.

15
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:54.260
I have a couple fun announcements before we get started today.

16
00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:58.020
One is our affiliate program is still viable.

17
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.580
We just had a couple technicalities.

18
00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:01.740
That always happens, right?

19
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:07.380
There's a couple technical things that happened that we're just trying to sort out and work

20
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:11.540
out, but we should have that back up and running here at the beginning of next week.

21
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.820
And so just keep looking under your tab.

22
00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:19.780
If you are a Facebook-only student, meaning that you do not have access to the last year

23
00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:26.500
single app, you don't have access to it, I didn't think that we really had anyone left

24
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:30.980
in that category, but if you are one of those people, then rest assured you will have access

25
00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:32.580
to the app soon.

26
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:40.060
And when you do, you will be able to see everything that you need to see in that resource tab.

27
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:44.260
So if you are on the app, whether you're in group one, phase one, phase two, or phase

28
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:50.180
three, or in the men's group, there is a resource tab in your group, and that is where

29
00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.380
that SpiritMate match link lives.

30
00:01:53.380 --> 00:01:59.780
If you're in phase two or above, and if you're in any of the groups on the app, you should

31
00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:03.780
also have an affiliate program link.

32
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:10.380
Right now, it is not dismantled, but it's turned off because we're working on it on

33
00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:13.100
the back end, but it will be turned back on really soon.

34
00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:14.100
Okay?

35
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:17.500
All right, so that is our first announcement.

36
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:24.220
The second announcement is by Thanksgiving, because we want to give thanks, by Thanksgiving,

37
00:02:24.220 --> 00:02:34.860
you will be able to download, or not download, but you'll be able to get access to my Supernatural

38
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:38.420
Saturdays in a book form.

39
00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.260
So if you've ever been like, hey, you know what?

40
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:43.260
I would love to do Supernatural Saturday, because you guys, you know that we've spit

41
00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:46.420
some fire on these sessions, right?

42
00:02:46.420 --> 00:02:53.060
And so all of that in a book form, how would you like to have 52 weeks of supernatural

43
00:02:53.060 --> 00:03:01.300
power in a book, and be able to go after that with the Lord every single week, as you're

44
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:07.660
doing your own sabbatical, leaning in devotional, I don't want to call it a devotional, because

45
00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:12.300
it's going to be pretty, you know, intense.

46
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.860
It's going to be the most intense devotional that anyone ever had.

47
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:19.980
But at the same time, for those of you that you like to take a Sabbath, I think we should

48
00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:26.380
all take a Sabbath, and I do not take a Sabbath regularly the way that I should, but I do

49
00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:31.740
want to, and I feel like this could be a catalyst for that, of really just pressing in with

50
00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:34.300
the Lord one day a week.

51
00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:37.100
Sunday is historically the Sabbath.

52
00:03:37.100 --> 00:03:38.100
And why is that?

53
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:41.100
Because Sunday is the beginning of the week, and it's the beginning of the week for a lot

54
00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:42.100
of people.

55
00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:43.100
People do not rest on Sundays.

56
00:03:43.100 --> 00:03:44.100
They go, go, go.

57
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:46.940
They go to church, and then they go out to eat after church, and then they go shopping,

58
00:03:46.940 --> 00:03:50.620
do their grocery, they get ahead of everything, so they can start the week out right.

59
00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:53.820
Well, that is the first day of the week for a lot of people.

60
00:03:53.820 --> 00:03:57.860
Just so you know, Sabbath is historically a day of rest, is a time of rest, is a time

61
00:03:57.860 --> 00:03:58.860
of reflection.

62
00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.580
It's a time of renewal, all the rewords.

63
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:08.660
And so being able to really just press in one of those days, and just allow God to really

64
00:04:08.660 --> 00:04:10.260
speak to your heart.

65
00:04:10.260 --> 00:04:15.460
And so I'm going to be putting that out there as a book that you guys can get a hold of.

66
00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:16.459
All right.

67
00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:17.459
So that's cool.

68
00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:18.459
That's fun.

69
00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:19.459
All right.

70
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.459
So let's get started.

71
00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:25.140
So Father God, we're so thankful that we can come together tonight, Sunday night, Supernatural

72
00:04:25.140 --> 00:04:26.140
Sunday Lord.

73
00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:29.380
We are believing that you are going to meet with us, you're going to speak to us and through

74
00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:35.260
us tonight, that you have a word for us, a transformational word, something that is

75
00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:41.180
going to help be a catalyst of change in our hearts, in our lives, in our relationships

76
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.620
with you, with ourselves, with others.

77
00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:49.460
And so Lord, we're asking for that tonight as we press in with you together in Jesus'

78
00:04:49.460 --> 00:04:50.460
name.

79
00:04:50.460 --> 00:04:51.460
Amen.

80
00:04:51.460 --> 00:04:53.300
So I have a thought.

81
00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:59.540
You guys know that a lot of times Supernatural Saturday is a very challenging time, right?

82
00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.060
And I just want to let you know.

83
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000
You know, I'm really challenged by the downloads

84
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.400
that we received too.

85
00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:06.760
It's not like Jackie's up on some, you know,

86
00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:09.120
in some ivory tower kind of preaching

87
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.120
to the people that aren't in the ivory tower.

88
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.000
No, I'm not, I'm not in the ivory tower at all.

89
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.760
I am, I'm with you guys.

90
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:21.120
And, you know, the downloads that we receive

91
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.680
on this time together are just as much for me,

92
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.640
just as much for David, just as much for our team,

93
00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:30.760
just as much for the leaders of this movement

94
00:05:30.760 --> 00:05:33.880
as they would be for anyone who would be a student

95
00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:35.960
or a client or listening in.

96
00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:38.280
Okay, I just wanna make sure that you guys know that.

97
00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:40.080
So we're very challenged by the things

98
00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:43.480
that the Lord allows to come through

99
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:44.940
during these times together.

100
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:48.520
So I got home, you guys got home at 1 a.m.

101
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:51.680
Our time in Europe was great.

102
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.680
I will tell you that I love America.

103
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.840
I'm so glad to be back in America.

104
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:01.240
For those of you that don't live in America, bless you.

105
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.960
But there are so many things about America that I just love.

106
00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:09.040
And I love so many things about Europe, about the EU, I do.

107
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.520
But I just, I love home.

108
00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:14.520
And if anything, it's just made me love home even more.

109
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:18.040
Really thankful, feel so thankful,

110
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.400
feel so blessed to live in this country,

111
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:23.280
in this beautiful, amazing country.

112
00:06:23.320 --> 00:06:26.920
And it's made me want to fight for whatever it is

113
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.920
that God sees as the future of this country even more

114
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.400
and to pray that the Lord would allow us to continue

115
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:39.400
to be the light that he has created us to be.

116
00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:42.760
I do believe America has called to be a place of refuge

117
00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:45.960
and a light and a place of freedom,

118
00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:47.960
especially the freedom to worship.

119
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.640
And wanna continue to not take that for granted.

120
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.800
So I'm just really thankful.

121
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.800
I was amazed as I walked the streets of Europe.

122
00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:04.880
You guys, this was the seat of revival years ago, right?

123
00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:06.640
This is where some of the greatest awakenings

124
00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:10.360
and revivals happened years ago.

125
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.160
And I will tell you that it's pretty godless now.

126
00:07:16.320 --> 00:07:20.920
Now you'd be hard pressed in America to go anywhere,

127
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.360
any state where you're not gonna see something

128
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.600
that has to do with believers.

129
00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:31.600
You're gonna see that,

130
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.080
especially if you're looking for it, right?

131
00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:38.360
You're gonna see people with some kind of God merch on,

132
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.560
some kind of hats or T-shirts or something.

133
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.560
You're gonna see something advertised

134
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.560
like a movie or books or something.

135
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.920
You're gonna see that no matter where you go.

136
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.680
You're gonna see churches on every corner

137
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.960
and their billboards are gonna be talking about God

138
00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:55.720
and talking about salvation

139
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.680
and talking about all different types of things.

140
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.200
Not Europe, friends.

141
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.320
Right?

142
00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:06.400
Yeah, there's some big, huge,

143
00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:11.400
I'm sure very expensive cathedrals that have been built.

144
00:08:13.760 --> 00:08:14.600
Right?

145
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.840
And remember, you guys, this was a place

146
00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:20.200
where some of the biggest revivals happened.

147
00:08:20.200 --> 00:08:22.200
Some of the biggest awakenings happened.

148
00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:27.440
Some of the biggest reformations in Christianity happened.

149
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:30.440
And yet I was just really taken aback

150
00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:35.440
at how dark everything seemed.

151
00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:38.400
And I guess I'm not saying that in a judgmental way

152
00:08:38.400 --> 00:08:42.559
and how kind of hedonistic and lost everyone seemed.

153
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.880
You know, just living for the moment,

154
00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:49.160
living for pleasure, living for survival.

155
00:08:50.400 --> 00:08:53.080
And it really got me thinking.

156
00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:57.760
And so tonight, I want you guys just to press in

157
00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:00.040
with Holy Spirit and with me.

158
00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:02.120
I feel like this could be a marking.

159
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.040
Last Supernatural Saturday when I was in the airport,

160
00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:07.560
you guys, by the way, I was really sick.

161
00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:08.560
I got really sick.

162
00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:10.040
I don't know if I got COVID or what,

163
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.280
but my whole time in Portugal, I was really sick.

164
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.040
But the last Supernatural Saturday,

165
00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:20.520
if you didn't hear that one, go back and listen to it, okay?

166
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:24.120
About the harder road,

167
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.400
about how the things that we're dreaming of

168
00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:30.200
and wanting and desiring, how it's not gonna be easy.

169
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.280
It isn't going to.

170
00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:33.120
That's a promise.

171
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.520
And some other things were shared on that call

172
00:09:35.520 --> 00:09:37.920
that I think are kind of ramping up into this call.

173
00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:42.120
And you guys, in ramping up into the next two weeks,

174
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.840
guys, we're going into some of the holiest,

175
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.960
holiest days of the year, okay?

176
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.600
It's not the Jewish calendar

177
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.000
that's the head of the year next,

178
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.080
you know, the next week and a half.

179
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.600
I believe that's God's calendar.

180
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.160
That's the original calendar, okay?

181
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.040
I live my life by the Gregorian calendar, yes, I live in America, I live my life from

182
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.440
January to December for sure, but God has enlightened me over the years to understand

183
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.520
His times and seasons.

184
00:10:13.520 --> 00:10:18.840
And I will tell you, Rosh Hashanah is coming, it's October 2nd through the 4th this year,

185
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.680
and we are going into a new year, a new time, and God is a God of times and seasons.

186
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:29.480
And so please press in with us over the next couple weeks, because I believe that's a

187
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.680
very supernatural time.

188
00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:37.140
And God will give lots of clarity, lots of revelation, okay, lots of direction to those

189
00:10:37.140 --> 00:10:40.880
that are looking for it, that are searching for it, that are desiring it.

190
00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:44.560
And so we're going to be doing some really special things, including our PATH session

191
00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:49.520
next week, understanding the anatomy of your prophetic promises, the things that you believe

192
00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:52.320
God has spoken to your heart and said you can have.

193
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.080
What does it look like to walk those out, okay?

194
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:02.160
What does it look like to process those things so that they can be practical action steps?

195
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:04.560
We're going to do that as a PATH session next week.

196
00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:08.520
I don't think it's an accident that we're going to do that leading into the head of

197
00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:12.360
the year in this very supernatural month of October.

198
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.120
It's a month of, you know, we're in the year of open door, really in the decade of open

199
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.620
door, okay, according to the numbers.

200
00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:26.980
So we're heading into 5785 and we'll talk about what all that means on next week's Supernatural

201
00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:32.620
Saturday as we head into that time together at the beginning of October, right?

202
00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.980
Really exciting stuff.

203
00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:41.420
But today I got home and I finally took, you know, a really, really good shower.

204
00:11:41.420 --> 00:11:46.100
I had traveled for 20 hours to get back to the United States.

205
00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:49.100
Travel never goes smooth, y'all.

206
00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:53.740
And I finally got back exhausted one o'clock in the morning and today I was able to get

207
00:11:53.740 --> 00:12:05.100
in the shower and then this thought came into my heart, ready?

208
00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:11.380
Love doesn't seek its own.

209
00:12:11.380 --> 00:12:22.460
So that's from the familiar passage on love in First Corinthians, right?

210
00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:28.580
First Corinthians 13, and you can read it in any translation you want to, but basically

211
00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:35.460
no matter what translation you read it in, what this says is love is not selfish.

212
00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.980
Love is not self-seeking.

213
00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:40.300
Love is not self-absorbed.

214
00:12:40.300 --> 00:12:43.540
Love is not focused on self.

215
00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:49.820
And we see that in the life of Jesus, don't we?

216
00:12:49.820 --> 00:13:01.300
There were so many times during Christ's earthly life that you see that he is living for others.

217
00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:09.660
His purpose in being on earth is for the betterment and the welfare and the goodness of others.

218
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:15.500
There were even times when people wanted him to focus on himself.

219
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:19.900
Remember that time when he was talking about what he was going to have to go through and

220
00:13:19.900 --> 00:13:24.940
suffer because he had a revelation of that and he was talking about it?

221
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:31.780
And Peter, you know, and a lot of us identify with Peter because Peter is the guy that talks

222
00:13:31.780 --> 00:13:34.020
without thinking, right?

223
00:13:34.020 --> 00:13:37.860
And sometimes that works out like, Peter, who do people, who do you say I am?

224
00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.860
You're the Christ.

225
00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:40.180
And sometimes that works out.

226
00:13:40.180 --> 00:13:44.820
And other times it doesn't, where he's like, save yourself, Jesus, you don't have to go

227
00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:48.540
through any of this, right?

228
00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:51.140
And Jesus is like, get behind me, Satan.

229
00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:58.020
It's like, oh, but I think it's important that we really acknowledge what Jesus said

230
00:13:58.020 --> 00:13:59.020
there.

231
00:13:59.020 --> 00:14:01.180
He wasn't calling Peter Satan.

232
00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:13.700
He was saying that that kind of thinking comes from a different kingdom.

233
00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:19.940
That kind of thinking is what Lucifer got in trouble for in the first place.

234
00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:25.540
Me, me, me, me, me.

235
00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:32.100
You guys have to make sure you stay muted for all you newbies.

236
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:35.460
If you hear some background noise, make sure you check and see if it's your little microphone

237
00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.460
that's not red.

238
00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:39.500
People are like, who's making all that racket?

239
00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:43.420
And you're like, oops, it's me.

240
00:14:43.420 --> 00:14:48.900
Satan, his song is me, me, me, me, me, me, me, right?

241
00:14:48.900 --> 00:14:50.860
And that's part of the curse, y'all.

242
00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:52.860
Part of the curse is now we are so self-absorbed.

243
00:14:53.300 --> 00:14:56.300
But you guys, God doesn't just have love.

244
00:14:56.300 --> 00:14:57.940
He is love.

245
00:14:57.940 --> 00:14:59.180
He doesn't just have love.

246
00:14:59.180 --> 00:14:59.780
He is love.

247
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.580
A lot of us have to understand that.

248
00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:05.380
We have to understand that.

249
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.980
We have to press into that truth right there.

250
00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:13.420
God's love for us is not limited.

251
00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:15.320
It's not based on performance.

252
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.820
Okay, it's not based on anything

253
00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:20.960
that we have done or could do.

254
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.700
It's based on what Jesus did on the cross.

255
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:27.700
It's based on a man who lived a selfless life,

256
00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:30.200
who became a sacrifice for us

257
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:33.580
so that we could be reconnected

258
00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:37.140
to our divine inheritance and identity.

259
00:15:37.140 --> 00:15:40.720
But you guys, I just want you to look at something with me.

260
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.360
You guys, this hit me hard, okay?

261
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.260
We have become so self-consumed and yet we call it good.

262
00:15:49.900 --> 00:15:52.360
Even the teaching in our Bible schools

263
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.040
and even the heart work at some level,

264
00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.720
it's all about me, me, me, me, me.

265
00:15:59.020 --> 00:15:59.840
Who am I?

266
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.780
Who am I?

267
00:16:00.780 --> 00:16:01.820
What am I called to do?

268
00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:02.860
What's my destiny?

269
00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:04.280
What's my purpose?

270
00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:08.280
Me, me, me, me, right?

271
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:15.060
Paul writes something very cryptic in his writings.

272
00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:19.400
He said, I have purpose to what?

273
00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:22.340
To forget about everything except Christ.

274
00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:27.780
You guys, I'm starting to kind of come into a revelation

275
00:16:27.780 --> 00:16:29.680
of what some of these scriptures mean.

276
00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:35.460
I know this for sure.

277
00:16:37.260 --> 00:16:40.800
The root of depression, hear me out,

278
00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:43.720
the root of depression, the root of stress,

279
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:48.740
the root of depression, or I should say the cure for it,

280
00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:51.900
and I'm not talking about chemical imbalances.

281
00:16:52.760 --> 00:16:54.800
I'm not talking about the mental health depression

282
00:16:54.800 --> 00:16:57.300
right now, I'm talking about circumstantial

283
00:16:57.300 --> 00:16:59.000
and situational depression.

284
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.940
Raise your hand if you've ever experienced

285
00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:03.640
situational or circumstantial depression.

286
00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:07.380
Meaning that you're going through something hard,

287
00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:08.839
things are not working out,

288
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.119
every day it's the same thing, different day,

289
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.859
and you're starting to feel a lack of joy,

290
00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:18.359
a lack of hope, even a lack of empathy for others

291
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.720
because when you're hurting,

292
00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:23.740
it's hard to care about who else is hurting too, okay?

293
00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.619
Look at all those hands.

294
00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:27.660
So I'm not talking about the mental health version

295
00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:31.920
or the chemical imbalance version of depression,

296
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.520
which is definitely very real.

297
00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:35.500
I'm talking about circumstantial

298
00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:37.560
and situational depression.

299
00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:39.000
The cure for it is this.

300
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.440
The cure for it is serving others.

301
00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:51.360
The cure for it is not focusing on yourself.

302
00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:54.400
The root of it is self.

303
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.200
I'm not happy, I don't have what I want.

304
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.440
Sometimes I don't have what I need.

305
00:18:02.780 --> 00:18:04.240
I want things to be different.

306
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.880
I don't understand why things can't be different.

307
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.160
Why does this keep happening to me?

308
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.920
On and on and on, it's not helping me.

309
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.220
It's not helping me.

310
00:18:13.300 --> 00:18:14.400
It's not helping me.

311
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:19.400
On and on and on, it is at the root about us, correct?

312
00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:25.620
Guys, I've been in this situation many, many, many,

313
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:27.460
many times in my life.

314
00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:31.660
And I will tell you, the enemy wants to get your eyes on you.

315
00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:34.980
He wants your full focus.

316
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.940
He wants you to be self-absorbed

317
00:18:40.020 --> 00:18:41.580
because there's no joy in that.

318
00:18:43.260 --> 00:18:44.580
You weren't created for that.

319
00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:48.460
That is not your divine kingdom identity, it's not.

320
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:50.740
If Jesus modeled kingdom identity,

321
00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:55.660
then we are never at our worst

322
00:18:57.340 --> 00:18:59.260
unless we are absorbed with self.

323
00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:05.220
He modeled for us a life that is focused on others,

324
00:19:06.300 --> 00:19:08.700
on serving others, on loving others,

325
00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:12.100
on giving others the things that we need

326
00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:15.540
because what we do for others, God makes happen for us.

327
00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:17.820
Right?

328
00:19:19.540 --> 00:19:21.300
I know this isn't easy to do, guys,

329
00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:25.180
but one of the reasons why I think in Christianity,

330
00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:29.060
we have made it okay to talk about,

331
00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:31.420
oh, well, you gotta do you, boo.

332
00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:33.300
Gotta take care of you.

333
00:19:33.300 --> 00:19:35.740
You gotta make sure that you have boundaries up

334
00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:37.620
because you matter too.

335
00:19:39.860 --> 00:19:41.900
I think one of the reasons why that happened

336
00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.900
is because there are lots of people

337
00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:45.860
who we call people pleasers.

338
00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:50.660
There are lots of people that have a toxic giving pattern

339
00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:55.420
where it is all about others, right?

340
00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:57.700
They're constantly giving and giving and giving

341
00:19:57.700 --> 00:20:00.300
and giving and giving and giving and helping.

342
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:09.000
helping and serving. I want to show you something. That is not the type of serving and giving

343
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:15.840
that I'm talking about. That also is still about who? Who's that about? That's about

344
00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:24.560
me. When you get into a pattern like that, that is once again, you're doing that and

345
00:20:24.560 --> 00:20:30.240
yes, it seems noble on the outside, but you're doing it for yourself. The motive of that

346
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.200
is self. I want people to like me. I don't want people to be mad at me. I don't want

347
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:45.920
to make anyone angry. I want to, I want to be a good person. Maybe even I want to do

348
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:50.320
what God wants me to do. I want to, I want, I want God to be happy with me. I just want

349
00:20:50.320 --> 00:21:05.680
to make God happy. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, right? So Holy Spirit is trying to talk to us about

350
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:11.000
something tonight because you guys, humility is not thinking highly of yourself. It's not

351
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:18.720
thinking of yourself. I'm sorry, humility. I should have said humility is not thinking.

352
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:23.520
Arrogance is not thinking highly of yourself. I mean, yes it is. But we think that humility

353
00:21:23.520 --> 00:21:28.200
is the opposite, right? If arrogance is thinking highly of yourself, bigger of yourself than

354
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:33.520
you should, then humility is thinking, you know, lower of yourself. But that's not true.

355
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:39.540
Humility is just not thinking of yourself. And I don't mean in a toxic way. I don't mean

356
00:21:39.540 --> 00:21:43.920
in the way that you bleed out for all these other people. Because once again, if you dig

357
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:55.760
down into the motive that's underneath all of that, the toxic motive is still self, right?

358
00:21:55.760 --> 00:22:08.880
It's still me. So what can we do? We have to press into what God is saying to us tonight.

359
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:18.000
He's saying, Hey, you know what? Love doesn't need to do that. Love doesn't need to seek

360
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:27.960
its own. Love knows that there's more than enough to go around. And love knows that it

361
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:40.080
is going to be full. It's going to be full. Which means that if I have two things left,

362
00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:44.280
I don't have to store the other one for later because Hey, maybe there's not more where

363
00:22:44.280 --> 00:22:49.000
that's coming from. Take one for myself and then keep the other one for later. I can take

364
00:22:49.000 --> 00:23:06.480
one of that and I can give it away. Can I? Can't I? I don't have to worry. I don't have

365
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:13.840
to look out for myself. I don't have to look out for number one. Because guess what? You

366
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:23.720
shouldn't be number one on your list. I know this goes against a lot of really current Christian

367
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:30.360
theology, especially all this Christian psychology about us and how important we are and how we

368
00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:35.760
should focus on ourselves and you know, all this stuff. You guys, that's not biblical.

369
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.640
The Bible says that those that lose their life for Christ will gain it.

370
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:49.520
Here's another really uncomfortable truth that Holy Spirit shared with me today. And that is

371
00:23:49.520 --> 00:23:55.000
because of the curse and because all of us are the generations that have lived in the curse,

372
00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:03.560
right? Yes, Jesus came and he broke the curse and he gave us access to heaven. Not just when we die,

373
00:24:03.560 --> 00:24:10.200
but now. But you guys, you see that there are forces all around us that are still under the

374
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.960
curse, including even creation, that are warring against us every day. Amen? Raise your hand if you

375
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:22.240
see it. And so what does that mean? That means that this is not ideal circumstances. The life

376
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.080
that you're going to live on this earth, it's a very temporary life. It is not going to be lived

377
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:36.440
in ideal circumstances. So what if when things are not going your way, you understood that it's

378
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:42.040
just, it's just warfare. It's just curse warfare. That's all it is. It doesn't have anything to do

379
00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:46.600
with you being bad or you being good, or you doing the right things or crossing the T's or

380
00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:53.640
dotting the I's. Jesus already crossed all your T's and dotted all your I's. Do you hear me?

381
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:59.880
What does that mean? That means that it's just the state of how

382
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.260
this world is. Does that mean that there's nothing we can do about it? Well

383
00:25:07.260 --> 00:25:13.380
not always. There's not always something that we can do about it. The outcome is

384
00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:17.500
not always going to be what you want it to be, but I will tell you this, there's

385
00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:23.640
always going to be another victory. There's always going to be another

386
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.600
victory. And Jesus has promised that he will even turn our defeat into good for

387
00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:37.480
us. Hasn't he? So what does that mean? That means that we don't have to go

388
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:47.640
through life wasting our one and only earth life just worried about what we

389
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:54.560
can get for ourselves. We don't have to do that. The Bible actually says if you

390
00:25:54.560 --> 00:26:02.040
don't seek those things for yourself, but you seek the kingdom, that all those

391
00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:08.680
things will be added to you. Guys, I'm preaching to myself. I just want to let you know.

392
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:20.000
I just want to make sure that you know this. All of these things will be added to us.

393
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:25.560
What would it look like for you to be more concerned about the betterment and not concerned

394
00:26:25.560 --> 00:26:33.840
in a toxic way, not an over helping way, not an inappropriate way, but every day you realize

395
00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:40.240
when you get up that your job is not to take care of yourself or to figure out a way to

396
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:57.040
survive, but your job is just to seek the kingdom. Your job is just to seek the kingdom.

397
00:26:57.040 --> 00:27:06.680
You guys, I have a justice, a justice motivation. I have a justice gift. Everyone put your hands

398
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:10.720
down. I got a lot of hands up right now. Go ahead and get them down. I'm going to do some

399
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:27.880
activation here. Okay, so I have a justice gift, but alongside of that, I have a mercy motivation.

400
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:33.080
So guess what? My justice gift and my mercy motivation actually canceled themselves out a

401
00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:45.040
lot. My friend, Dan, I was always like, Oh girl, you got a strong, you got a strong mercy gift and

402
00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:52.320
it continues to cancel out this justice thing you got going on here. But I will tell you guys,

403
00:27:52.320 --> 00:27:59.960
sometimes my justice gift gets all riled up, right? Because it's a gift, but it gets overextended by

404
00:28:00.040 --> 00:28:07.800
the darkness of the world. It gets overextended by all of the judgment. Okay. Justice and judgment

405
00:28:07.800 --> 00:28:12.800
are not the same thing. So I want to make sure you know that. Okay. But there's so much judgment

406
00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:20.960
going on all around me all the time when I'm out and about in life. Sometimes I get pulled into that

407
00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:30.480
instead of into righteous justice. And on this trip, there were plenty of instances where my

408
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:40.000
justice gift got tweaked because I saw things that were unjust. And then I wanted to speak to that

409
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:50.560
from a place of judgment. Is this resonating with anybody? Okay. And then God spoke to me and he

410
00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:56.160
said, Hey, there's a better use for that gift. There's a better use for that gift, Jackie.

411
00:28:59.040 --> 00:29:07.440
Come on, y'all. When you want justice, because God has motivated you with justice,

412
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:13.520
when you want to see righteousness prevail on the earth, we got to stay out of judgment.

413
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:19.840
Because I know this, the true kingdom definition of justice is when the people that you would assume

414
00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:26.080
are the victims, when the people that you would also assume are the victimizers, when everyone

415
00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:34.160
gets set free. That's kingdom justice. Because you realize the victimizers were just the victims

416
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:41.760
from the past generation, right? From a different violation. Come on, y'all. We got to go here

417
00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:50.160
together. I will tell you that I think it's going to take daily, daily focus and maybe a community

418
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:54.480
like this where we provoke one another to good works and we hold each other accountable

419
00:29:54.480 --> 00:30:01.520
to stay out of self. And I think that's going to be a big part of what we're going to do.

420
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.600
Let's, let's think about really quickly, and I want you guys to put up in the chat.

421
00:30:07.600 --> 00:30:14.600
What are some symptoms, some possible signs that I've gotten myself all twisted up with

422
00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:15.600
myself?

423
00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:20.580
One that, one that comes to mind immediately for me is pity.

424
00:30:20.580 --> 00:30:24.400
Having a pity party for myself, poor little me, right?

425
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:31.840
So when you're, when you're, when you're feeling, when you're feeling any form of victimhood,

426
00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:41.160
poor me, this happened to me, this shouldn't happen to me, bitterness, they, they did me

427
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:47.600
wrong and this happened and that happened and you're reliving all these moments of victimhood.

428
00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:51.320
That's when you're all rolled up into yourself, right?

429
00:30:51.320 --> 00:30:52.320
So let's see some more.

430
00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:53.320
Go ahead.

431
00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:55.320
Feeling misunderstood.

432
00:30:55.320 --> 00:31:00.000
Guys, that's actually in that same chapter on love.

433
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.040
It says that love doesn't seek to be understood, it seeks to understand.

434
00:31:06.040 --> 00:31:08.440
That's powerful, right?

435
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:09.440
It's all up to me.

436
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.440
Yep.

437
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:11.440
It's all up to me.

438
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:12.440
I got to fix it.

439
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:13.440
I got to change it.

440
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:15.920
I'm the hero of the story.

441
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.640
Feeling abandoned, feeling overlooked, feeling unseen.

442
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:24.680
You guys, this all is rooted in self.

443
00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:30.440
It's all rooted in self.

444
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:37.480
How about just, how about making everything that happens about me?

445
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:43.240
About my comfort, about my time, about my this, about my that.

446
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:49.240
Guys, there isn't a person on here that doesn't deal with this.

447
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.200
This is the human condition.

448
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:58.280
Since the curse, the human condition is self.

449
00:31:58.280 --> 00:32:01.880
I know it's kind of a scary thought, but because we don't understand it because we have such

450
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:12.360
an individualistic society, even an individualistic Christianity, but in heaven we will be a collective.

451
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.480
Will you still be you?

452
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.720
Yes, but it will be much different than it is now because you have to understand this

453
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:27.400
individualism that we're experiencing right now is part of the curse.

454
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.780
It's part of the curse.

455
00:32:30.780 --> 00:32:35.840
This is why you don't feel one with God.

456
00:32:35.840 --> 00:32:42.280
This is why marriage is a typology of that curse being broken and the two becoming one.

457
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:44.200
It's no longer about you.

458
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.760
It's no longer about me.

459
00:32:46.760 --> 00:32:47.760
It's about we.

460
00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:48.760
It's about we.

461
00:32:48.760 --> 00:33:03.200
And guys, I want to just let you know, and I'm not mean guys like men, all of you, all

462
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:08.520
of you, y'all, let me tell you this, that ain't easy.

463
00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:30.000
Going from me to we, from the I to us, that's not easy, but that's why it is God's maturity

464
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:35.040
plan for mankind because it continues to do what?

465
00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:43.240
It continues to show us where we are still operating under the curse.

466
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.160
Having a spirit of offense, that was a good one someone put up.

467
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:54.800
You guys, you will never be more in your flesh than when you're offended.

468
00:33:54.800 --> 00:33:57.240
Great is thy peace of those that what?

469
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.240
Love my law.

470
00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.240
What law is he talking about?

471
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:00.360
The law of love.

472
00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:05.120
Nothing shall offend them.

473
00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:07.920
That's the scripture.

474
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:12.920
You guys, what would it be like to be unoffendable?

475
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:17.520
And the reason why you're unoffendable is not because what people are doing is not offensive.

476
00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:19.719
It's because you realize it's not about me.

477
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.360
It's not about me.

478
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:26.480
I don't have to be offended by this other person's decisions or behavior because it's

479
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:30.679
not about me.

480
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:31.679
That's a them thing.

481
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:41.639
That's not a me thing, that's a them thing.

482
00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:50.960
I've often said that offense is pointing to unhealed and hard places in your heart.

483
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.639
So pay attention, and I write about this in the heart work, pay attention to what offends

484
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:56.960
you.

485
00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:00.400
You never have more of an opportunity for an upgrade than when you're offended.

486
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:14.200
Because that is an absolute root connected to that, there's an absolute root connected

487
00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:21.400
to that in your heart, some kind of unforgiveness, some kind of lie you're believing.

488
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:27.600
Because once again other people's behavior, you can't control that, that's not about you,

489
00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:28.600
that's about them.

490
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.000
So if it offends you, then you're making it about you.

491
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:36.000
But why?

492
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:39.000
Why?

493
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:43.400
Those are the questions that you ask yourself in those moments, and with the help of Holy

494
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:46.500
Spirit you will get the revelation.

495
00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:49.960
And then you can ask for the healing.

496
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:53.880
You can forgive, you can release, you can repent, you can do whatever's necessary in

497
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:59.280
that moment, depending on what Holy Spirit shows you, and then you can get the breakthrough.

498
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.280
No, Shana, of course you're not there, none of us are there.

499
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:08.280
None of us are there.

500
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.280
I mean, there are times when we remember this, and we remember that it's not about us, and

501
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:14.280
we don't get offended.

502
00:36:14.680 --> 00:36:23.680
And there are other times when we go 100,000 miles away, 100,000 miles an hour, sorry you

503
00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:31.680
guys, I'm on sleep deficit, into, watch, the city of offense, population you.

504
00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.680
That is what happens.

505
00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:39.680
You get your panties all in a wad, you get all upset, oftentimes we make it much worse,

506
00:36:40.080 --> 00:36:41.080
whatever the situation is.

507
00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:47.080
And if we're not careful, offense can turn into grudges, it can turn into bitterness,

508
00:36:47.080 --> 00:36:52.080
resentment, it can turn into a lot of much deeper, more dangerous things.

509
00:36:54.080 --> 00:36:55.080
Right?

510
00:36:55.080 --> 00:36:59.080
So we want to make sure that we understand that we're all there, but there's some of

511
00:36:59.080 --> 00:37:04.080
us on this call, and I guess Holy Spirit's taking us here, because this wasn't what I

512
00:37:04.080 --> 00:37:05.080
wrote down.

513
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:09.480
There are some of us that are very easily offended.

514
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.480
And I want you to go ahead and be honest if that's you.

515
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:16.480
You're touchy, okay?

516
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.480
You might even have considered yourself in the past sensitive, right?

517
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.480
That's a nicer way to say it.

518
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:31.480
But raise your hand if you would just admit that you get offended pretty easy, especially

519
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.480
by certain things or certain people.

520
00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:34.880
It's okay.

521
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:47.880
Now, I want you to picture with me yourself, I want you to close your eyes, and I want

522
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.880
you to picture yourself covered with bruises.

523
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.880
I want you to picture yourself covered with burns, like a really bad sunburn.

524
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.280
Covered with bruises.

525
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:05.280
Because that's what you look like spiritually.

526
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:09.280
The reason why you're so easily offended, the reason why you're so touchy, the reason

527
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.280
why you're so fragile and so sensitive is because you've been through a lot of stuff.

528
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:19.280
You've been through a lot of stuff.

529
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:25.280
And those wounds are healing, but they're not healed.

530
00:38:25.680 --> 00:38:28.680
And those wounds are healing, but they're not healed.

531
00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:31.680
And so it's easy for them to get tweaks.

532
00:38:33.680 --> 00:38:38.680
Have you ever had a really, really bad sunburn or some other kind of injury, and then someone

533
00:38:38.680 --> 00:38:40.680
accidentally touches you there?

534
00:38:44.680 --> 00:38:45.680
You know, they don't know.

535
00:38:45.680 --> 00:38:49.680
They don't know that you hurt your shoulder, and so they, you know, they grab you by the

536
00:38:49.680 --> 00:38:50.680
arm.

537
00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:51.680
They don't know.

538
00:38:52.080 --> 00:38:54.080
They accidentally bump you because it's crowded.

539
00:38:54.080 --> 00:38:55.080
They don't know.

540
00:38:56.080 --> 00:38:59.080
You got a bad sunburn under those clothes, and someone doesn't know, and they grab you

541
00:38:59.080 --> 00:39:01.080
in a big bear hug.

542
00:39:02.080 --> 00:39:03.080
Ouch.

543
00:39:08.080 --> 00:39:13.080
It's easy for other people's actions, even actions that are not purposely careless, even

544
00:39:13.080 --> 00:39:19.080
actions that are not purposely vindictive or malicious, to hurt us when we are that

545
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:20.480
damaged.

546
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:27.480
You guys, this is especially important as you navigate dating and relationship with

547
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:33.480
the opposite sex, because I promise you, if you are still hurting in these areas, if you

548
00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:39.480
are still fragile, you're still bruised, you're still touchy, you're going to get tweaked.

549
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:47.480
And it's going to be difficult for you to make connection, because offense is going

550
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.880
to make connection, because offense builds offense.

551
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:52.880
It disconnects.

552
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:56.880
It does not allow you to connect.

553
00:39:57.880 --> 00:39:58.880
It builds offense.

554
00:39:58.880 --> 00:39:59.880
There's a block.

555
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.640
There's a barrier.

556
00:40:05.640 --> 00:40:11.120
I can't tell you how many times someone has come to me, they've posted, they've messaged

557
00:40:11.120 --> 00:40:16.640
me, they've gotten on a coaching call with me and they have poured out their grievances

558
00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:21.800
against someone that they were trying to get to know and you know what?

559
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.920
All of it was poppycock.

560
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:35.000
All of it was goofy, immature stuff because they are so offended, not by this person,

561
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:41.640
but just in life in general because of what they've been through that they cannot help

562
00:40:41.640 --> 00:40:48.700
themselves from making a mountain out of a molehill.

563
00:40:48.700 --> 00:40:56.420
They have their boxing gloves on and they're literally looking for a fight.

564
00:40:56.420 --> 00:41:00.380
Or if you prefer, they have their running shoes on and they're looking for a reason

565
00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:10.260
to run, run away, depending on if you're fight or flight.

566
00:41:10.260 --> 00:41:17.440
Guys, we have to allow Holy Spirit to continue to heal this, but I want to say something

567
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:18.440
else very important.

568
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:24.200
It's important that you are conscious of what we're talking about right now, but you cannot

569
00:41:24.200 --> 00:41:28.520
speed up the healing process.

570
00:41:28.520 --> 00:41:31.880
You are still going to get offended, you are still going to be sensitive, you're going

571
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:36.280
to still feel fragile because you're healing and healing takes time, but you know what

572
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:37.360
you can do?

573
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:46.320
You can be conscious of your reactions and you don't have to allow your feelings to control

574
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:53.400
You're still going to feel offended, you're still going to feel hurt by something that

575
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:59.560
someone said carelessly, even though deep inside you know, I probably shouldn't be hurt

576
00:41:59.560 --> 00:42:07.400
by that, I'm being silly, I'm overreacting, but that in itself can be a jab because you

577
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:10.640
were in an abusive relationship where you were gaslit all the time saying that your

578
00:42:10.640 --> 00:42:15.400
feelings didn't matter and you were overreacting and you were making stuff up and you were

579
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:16.400
crazy.

580
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:25.320
So you see how we have to be very careful and let Holy Spirit show us what is worthy,

581
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:32.200
what is righteous indignation and what is just offense from previous abuse and pain.

582
00:42:32.200 --> 00:42:37.160
Do you see what I'm saying?

583
00:42:37.160 --> 00:42:43.240
We have to let Holy Spirit show us what are actual yellow possible red flags in relationship

584
00:42:43.240 --> 00:42:53.080
with people because yes, we don't want to live offended, we don't, we don't want to

585
00:42:53.080 --> 00:42:57.800
be fragile, we don't want to be touchy, we want to understand that this is not about

586
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:08.480
us and it's about them, but if it's about them, they might not be a safe person.

587
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.480
Do you see how there's a fine line there and we have to navigate that with Holy Spirit?

588
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:18.280
Let me tell you something and I'm not trying to offend anybody, but if I offend you, then

589
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:22.920
you need to ask Holy Spirit, you know, what lie you're believing because I love you and

590
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.700
I'm rooting for you, okay?

591
00:43:25.700 --> 00:43:35.080
But the people that declare that their offense is justified because it's other person's dangerous,

592
00:43:35.080 --> 00:43:42.920
a narcissist, the this, the that, those are usually the people that are the most unhealthy.

593
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:48.820
The people that are the most unhealthy are usually the ones that think everyone else

594
00:43:48.820 --> 00:43:54.660
is abusive and dangerous and unhealthy, okay?

595
00:43:54.660 --> 00:43:56.820
So here's a litmus test for you.

596
00:43:56.820 --> 00:44:03.580
If all you meet are narcissists, okay, and you, you find out pretty quickly because now,

597
00:44:03.580 --> 00:44:08.600
you know, you, you know what to look for and you see those red flags pretty quick about

598
00:44:08.600 --> 00:44:12.860
their behavior and about their self absorption and all the things and that's all you ever

599
00:44:12.860 --> 00:44:22.000
meet, then the common denominator of that is you, okay?

600
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:26.440
And I'm not saying you're attracting narcissists, what I'm saying is that's all you see because

601
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:32.940
you are hyper vigilant to keep yourself safe.

602
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:38.800
So I guess what we're asking in the Spirit tonight is, is that, is it narcissism or is

603
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:47.380
it the curse of self?

604
00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:53.400
The self absorption that comes with trying to figure out this life, trying to make a

605
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:59.360
way for yourself, trying to do something to have purpose, to have destiny, there's a lot

606
00:44:59.360 --> 00:44:59.920
of times I can say.

607
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.360
Just that could sound like straight up narcissism, right?

608
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.160
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

609
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:11.340
Right, so there's a lot of different things happening there

610
00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:13.300
and I really believe that God's trying to help

611
00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:16.200
some of you guys because you're scared of everyone

612
00:45:16.200 --> 00:45:19.880
all the time because you've been in some abusive situations

613
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:21.440
and you're trying to keep yourself

614
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.140
from getting abused again,

615
00:45:23.140 --> 00:45:25.180
but you're cutting off good people

616
00:45:25.180 --> 00:45:28.620
that the only crime they've committed

617
00:45:28.640 --> 00:45:31.180
is they talked about themselves a little too much.

618
00:45:32.380 --> 00:45:36.420
And that's a problem that everybody has.

619
00:45:36.420 --> 00:45:38.920
We're all constantly thinking about ourselves.

620
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.320
So how do we get to a place where we can go

621
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:45.360
into love doesn't seek its own?

622
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:46.900
Well, we can't do it on our own.

623
00:45:46.900 --> 00:45:49.400
It has to be supernatural because yes,

624
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:51.040
we have been set free from the curse

625
00:45:51.040 --> 00:45:52.500
and yet we still live with it.

626
00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:53.700
Remember what Paul said?

627
00:45:53.700 --> 00:45:57.980
He said, oh, who is gonna deliver me

628
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.300
from this man?

629
00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:01.780
Who's he talking about?

630
00:46:01.780 --> 00:46:03.180
He's talking about himself.

631
00:46:04.180 --> 00:46:05.780
He's not talking about a separate man.

632
00:46:05.780 --> 00:46:09.820
He's talking about how there are two dynamics

633
00:46:09.820 --> 00:46:13.020
that live within him, the flesh and the spirit.

634
00:46:14.580 --> 00:46:16.680
And we did a whole Supernatural Saturday on this,

635
00:46:16.680 --> 00:46:19.020
you know, months and months and months ago.

636
00:46:19.020 --> 00:46:21.560
Team spirit, team flesh.

637
00:46:21.560 --> 00:46:23.560
Guys, we're always gonna live with this.

638
00:46:23.560 --> 00:46:25.460
We are gonna always live with this.

639
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:29.180
But for those of you that are dealing with hopelessness,

640
00:46:29.180 --> 00:46:30.920
for those of you that are dealing with depression

641
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:33.620
that's circumstantial and situational,

642
00:46:33.620 --> 00:46:35.220
you gotta get your eyes off yourself

643
00:46:35.220 --> 00:46:37.360
and you have to get them onto other people.

644
00:46:40.020 --> 00:46:42.220
Ask Holy Spirit to show you someone who needs

645
00:46:42.220 --> 00:46:44.460
whatever it is that you're depressed

646
00:46:44.460 --> 00:46:48.040
about not having yourself and serve them.

647
00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:50.400
I already told you guys the story

648
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:52.200
of when I was depressed and pregnant

649
00:46:52.200 --> 00:46:53.940
with my youngest daughter, Reagan.

650
00:46:55.680 --> 00:46:57.380
How I just wanted a friend

651
00:46:57.380 --> 00:46:59.220
and specifically a pregnant friend.

652
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.580
And I was expecting God to answer my prayer

653
00:47:02.580 --> 00:47:06.020
by catering to me and sending me someone,

654
00:47:06.020 --> 00:47:08.320
someone who could lead me and guide me

655
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:10.820
and help me and pamper me and comfort me.

656
00:47:10.820 --> 00:47:12.620
But instead, he used me to do that

657
00:47:12.620 --> 00:47:17.000
for someone who was pregnant that was younger than I was,

658
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.060
that needed more than I did.

659
00:47:19.060 --> 00:47:20.600
Do you guys see what I'm saying?

660
00:47:21.900 --> 00:47:24.800
He answered my prayer by making me the friend.

661
00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:29.880
You guys, he answered my prayer by making me the friend

662
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:31.180
that someone else needed.

663
00:47:33.980 --> 00:47:35.640
But modern Christianity will tell us

664
00:47:35.640 --> 00:47:37.840
that it's all about us and about what you want

665
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:40.280
and about your destiny and your callings

666
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:42.820
and what can you do that's amazing.

667
00:47:42.820 --> 00:47:45.160
I can't tell you how many people have prophetic words

668
00:47:45.160 --> 00:47:46.860
and I'm not saying that those words are not true.

669
00:47:46.860 --> 00:47:50.020
We're gonna unpack those during our prophetic processing

670
00:47:50.020 --> 00:47:52.460
time on path sessions for those of you

671
00:47:52.460 --> 00:47:57.460
that are in that level of mentorship with us.

672
00:48:00.260 --> 00:48:03.660
Path sessions are usually for phase three and up.

673
00:48:05.240 --> 00:48:06.560
I may open it to everybody

674
00:48:06.560 --> 00:48:08.560
because it's a really important subject.

675
00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:12.800
I'm not saying you can't have grandiose words,

676
00:48:13.680 --> 00:48:15.860
but have you guys ever noticed that everywhere we go,

677
00:48:15.860 --> 00:48:19.080
that's all people give us prophetically is grandiose words?

678
00:48:20.200 --> 00:48:21.960
You're gonna be famous.

679
00:48:22.820 --> 00:48:24.260
You're gonna speak on stages and arenas

680
00:48:24.260 --> 00:48:26.260
to thousands of people.

681
00:48:26.260 --> 00:48:27.660
You're gonna have the best-selling book.

682
00:48:27.660 --> 00:48:29.620
You're gonna, really?

683
00:48:29.620 --> 00:48:31.900
We're all, you guys, when I first started out

684
00:48:31.900 --> 00:48:34.060
in women's ministry 28 years ago,

685
00:48:34.060 --> 00:48:36.700
I can't tell you how many women came to me

686
00:48:36.700 --> 00:48:38.380
and said that God told them

687
00:48:38.380 --> 00:48:40.980
that they were the next Joyce Meyer.

688
00:48:40.980 --> 00:48:42.900
And then finally one day I said to God,

689
00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:46.540
hey God, listen, are you telling all these women

690
00:48:46.540 --> 00:48:47.900
that they're Joyce Meyer?

691
00:48:47.900 --> 00:48:50.420
They're the next Joyce Meyer because they all think that

692
00:48:50.420 --> 00:48:53.200
and how can they all be the next Joyce Meyer?

693
00:48:53.200 --> 00:48:55.640
I was just legitimately confused

694
00:48:55.640 --> 00:48:57.480
because these seemed like nice women

695
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:00.600
and they seemed like women that were normal and not crazy.

696
00:49:00.600 --> 00:49:03.600
And so I had to just go ahead and believe in faith

697
00:49:03.600 --> 00:49:05.880
that they really were hearing from God.

698
00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:08.040
So it's like, Houston, we have a problem.

699
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:11.760
And you know what he said to me?

700
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:13.860
He said, Jackie, he said,

701
00:49:16.080 --> 00:49:17.880
basically they're taking the word wrong

702
00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:19.580
is what he said to me, number one.

703
00:49:19.600 --> 00:49:21.200
Because when they say I'm the next Joyce Meyer,

704
00:49:21.200 --> 00:49:23.880
what they're thinking is international ministry

705
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:25.820
and fame and books.

706
00:49:25.820 --> 00:49:28.520
But what he really was saying to them

707
00:49:28.520 --> 00:49:31.200
is that Joyce pulled herself up by her bootstraps

708
00:49:31.200 --> 00:49:32.840
with the help of Holy Spirit

709
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:36.160
and she became a kinsman redeemer in her family line.

710
00:49:38.220 --> 00:49:39.060
Amen?

711
00:49:42.240 --> 00:49:44.220
And because there wasn't a lot of visible women

712
00:49:44.220 --> 00:49:47.480
that had overcome as much as she had,

713
00:49:47.980 --> 00:49:51.460
Joyce Meyer's father used to regularly have sex with her,

714
00:49:51.460 --> 00:49:53.180
intercourse with her, y'all.

715
00:49:55.580 --> 00:49:58.380
That woman should be in the psych ward or dead.

716
00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:00.180
She should not.

717
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.440
be teaching the Bible.

718
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:11.280
So what God said to me is because there wasn't a lot of women who were visibly overcomers

719
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:21.560
the way Joyce was, that he was using that because you can't be it if you can't see it.

720
00:50:21.560 --> 00:50:28.400
So it's time to reprocess a lot of the words we have because you guys, it isn't about whatever

721
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:34.280
we think it's about.

722
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:41.200
You would be better off waking up every day instead of asking God what your call to do,

723
00:50:41.200 --> 00:50:47.200
ask God what he's doing and call shotgun.

724
00:50:47.200 --> 00:50:50.160
Even if it's outside of your gift set.

725
00:50:50.160 --> 00:50:53.880
I can't tell you how many times you guys, God has used me to do something that I did

726
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:58.800
not feel particularly gifted or equipped to do.

727
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:11.280
But I was just the only person in the moment and just willing, available.

728
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.880
If you want to live a supernatural life, it's about being available.

729
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:22.160
I just want to let you know that it really is because otherwise it just becomes about

730
00:51:22.160 --> 00:51:31.440
us, right?

731
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:35.160
And you guys, it isn't that I just want to let you guys know this.

732
00:51:35.160 --> 00:51:37.760
I feel this in my spirit really strong right now.

733
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:41.880
Someone needs to know this and I want you to, I want you to confess, put your hands

734
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:42.880
down.

735
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:44.080
Everybody, everybody put their hands down.

736
00:51:44.080 --> 00:51:51.080
I want you to confess if this is you because God is going to give you some freedom tonight.

737
00:51:51.080 --> 00:51:54.640
This just popped up in my spirit.

738
00:51:54.640 --> 00:52:02.280
God is not a narcissist because what I'm saying right now, if you, if you listen to it through

739
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.840
the wrong filter, it makes it sound like we're nothing and he's everything and it's all about

740
00:52:07.840 --> 00:52:08.840
him.

741
00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:10.400
It's all about him.

742
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:11.400
It's all about him.

743
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:12.440
It's all about him.

744
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:17.560
And we're just here to, you know, to, to, to just be there at his beck and call and

745
00:52:17.560 --> 00:52:18.560
his will.

746
00:52:18.560 --> 00:52:24.040
And a lot of times his will doesn't serve us and you know, so if you have a hard time

747
00:52:24.040 --> 00:52:31.160
believing that God is good, I want you to raise your hand and it's okay.

748
00:52:31.160 --> 00:52:32.160
There's no judgment.

749
00:52:32.160 --> 00:52:34.840
I used to feel that way too.

750
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:44.200
I mean so much about what we talk about in Christian circles literally makes God sound

751
00:52:44.200 --> 00:52:49.600
like he is abusive.

752
00:52:49.600 --> 00:52:52.640
But I want to take us back to the scripture that we started with.

753
00:52:52.640 --> 00:52:54.320
Love doesn't seek its own.

754
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:57.600
You guys, do you realize that that's about God?

755
00:52:57.600 --> 00:53:01.480
That scripture is about God because he doesn't just have love.

756
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:03.100
He is love.

757
00:53:03.100 --> 00:53:09.920
And so while we're created in his image and we have the opportunity through Holy Spirit

758
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:16.720
to crucify this self-absorbed flesh and follow after what's more fulfilling.

759
00:53:16.720 --> 00:53:22.040
Guys, I just want to tell you right now, nothing that I've ever done for myself or that has

760
00:53:22.040 --> 00:53:27.480
been done for me has ever been more fulfilling than something that God has used me to help

761
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.400
make happen for somebody else.

762
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:37.360
You guys, it's the best drug you will ever have in your life to be part of somebody's

763
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:46.800
breakthrough just because you were available, just because you were willing.

764
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:50.480
That's why the Bible says it's better to give than to receive.

765
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:53.520
It's so powerful, okay?

766
00:53:53.520 --> 00:53:56.000
But this scripture is about God.

767
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:59.280
Love doesn't seek its own, doesn't seek to be understood.

768
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:02.720
He seeks to understand, you guys, it's about him.

769
00:54:02.720 --> 00:54:07.320
And so any religious rhetoric that tells you anything different, it's not true.

770
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:11.280
It's religion.

771
00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:22.480
If we really see God through a different lens, it's because we see him through teaching theology

772
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:27.640
that's not real, that's not true, that's not accurate.

773
00:54:27.640 --> 00:54:37.280
And so I want you to challenge those thoughts in the moment when they come with truth.

774
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:42.920
God's not trying to force me into things that don't make me quote-unquote happy.

775
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:47.800
I'm not here just to serve him at his beck and call and do whatever he wants.

776
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:52.520
And the only reason he created us in the first place is so that we would have to serve him

777
00:54:52.520 --> 00:54:55.320
and love him regardless of what happens to us.

778
00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:57.640
You guys, that's not true.

779
00:54:57.640 --> 00:55:00.000
All of that are the effects of sin.

780
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.080
and the earth, the effects of the battle of good and evil,

781
00:55:03.080 --> 00:55:07.440
all of that, all of that garbage is the consequences

782
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:09.440
of that, the wages of sin or death.

783
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:11.820
All of that is the consequences of that.

784
00:55:11.820 --> 00:55:14.440
But in all of that, God so loved the world

785
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:17.360
that he sent his son, not to judge us,

786
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:19.720
but to sacrifice himself for us

787
00:55:19.720 --> 00:55:23.320
so that we could be reconnected to a different reality.

788
00:55:25.720 --> 00:55:29.440
And it's up to us to choose that reality daily.

789
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:31.400
And when we choose that reality daily,

790
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:36.280
we will also choose to be part of that reality daily,

791
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.440
which means we choose to be kingdom people,

792
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.120
to walk in the truth of who God is and what love looks like.

793
00:55:46.080 --> 00:55:47.840
I'm telling you, it's a small life

794
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:51.120
to make it about yourself, a small life,

795
00:55:51.120 --> 00:55:53.280
if it's just about you and what you need

796
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:56.880
and what you don't have and what you're mad about.

797
00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:58.920
But if you wanna have a big life,

798
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:00.400
make it about others.

799
00:56:03.080 --> 00:56:06.520
Make it about the lonely, make it about misunderstood,

800
00:56:06.520 --> 00:56:08.840
make it about the unseen, the abandoned,

801
00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:11.920
make it about them, and you will never live

802
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:14.160
an unfulfilled or unsatisfied day.

803
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.000
You never will.

804
00:56:23.560 --> 00:56:24.720
You will not be depressed,

805
00:56:24.720 --> 00:56:27.020
circumstantially or situationally.

806
00:56:27.020 --> 00:56:31.100
You will wake up excited to put your feet on the ground

807
00:56:31.100 --> 00:56:34.820
and to be part of some kind of kingdom assignment that day

808
00:56:34.820 --> 00:56:36.900
that brings someone else breakthrough.

809
00:56:38.860 --> 00:56:41.420
I remember, you guys, I remember what that's like.

810
00:56:43.420 --> 00:56:45.420
It's easy to get into self-absorption.

811
00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:47.060
It's easy to get into the flesh.

812
00:56:47.060 --> 00:56:49.060
It's easy to get into these places

813
00:56:49.060 --> 00:56:51.900
where all we can think about is ourselves.

814
00:56:51.900 --> 00:56:54.140
It's easy to, but I remember when I first received

815
00:56:54.140 --> 00:56:56.020
the baptism of the Holy Spirit,

816
00:56:56.020 --> 00:57:00.780
every day I woke up about how can I help others today?

817
00:57:00.780 --> 00:57:03.540
Lord, let me be in the right places at the right time

818
00:57:03.540 --> 00:57:05.860
with the right words, with the right resources.

819
00:57:05.860 --> 00:57:07.940
And every day was a miracle.

820
00:57:07.940 --> 00:57:10.100
Every day was supernatural.

821
00:57:10.100 --> 00:57:12.100
Every day was amazing.

822
00:57:12.100 --> 00:57:16.580
Every day continued to show me that God is love.

823
00:57:16.580 --> 00:57:19.800
Not only will other people feel loved by God through you,

824
00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:22.660
but you will feel like God is love.

825
00:57:23.660 --> 00:57:25.820
I told my husband today, I said,

826
00:57:25.820 --> 00:57:28.460
babe, we gotta get back to living supernatural lives.

827
00:57:28.460 --> 00:57:30.420
These natural lives suck.

828
00:57:32.940 --> 00:57:35.140
They're so, they are depressing.

829
00:57:35.140 --> 00:57:36.260
They're depressing.

830
00:57:36.260 --> 00:57:38.220
Living in the natural is depressing.

831
00:57:41.020 --> 00:57:42.820
It's always about deficit.

832
00:57:44.180 --> 00:57:45.940
It's always about not enough.

833
00:57:45.940 --> 00:57:47.460
It's always about problems.

834
00:57:47.460 --> 00:57:49.660
It's always about worry.

835
00:57:53.060 --> 00:57:54.820
It's always about waiting for something

836
00:57:54.820 --> 00:57:56.340
that hasn't happened yet.

837
00:57:56.340 --> 00:57:59.100
What if we were busy about our father's business?

838
00:58:03.020 --> 00:58:04.100
There are so many people here.

839
00:58:04.100 --> 00:58:06.100
Let me take it back to matchmaking for a second.

840
00:58:06.100 --> 00:58:08.140
There are so many people here that you literally

841
00:58:08.140 --> 00:58:10.060
are the key to someone else's love story.

842
00:58:10.060 --> 00:58:11.700
You are the key to it.

843
00:58:11.700 --> 00:58:13.340
You are the key.

844
00:58:13.340 --> 00:58:14.980
You are the matchmaker.

845
00:58:14.980 --> 00:58:17.820
You are the person that knows the person

846
00:58:17.820 --> 00:58:20.580
that knows the person that knows their spirit mate.

847
00:58:20.580 --> 00:58:21.420
It's you.

848
00:58:22.780 --> 00:58:25.100
You are the first degree of separation.

849
00:58:26.660 --> 00:58:27.500
It's you.

850
00:58:29.340 --> 00:58:32.300
But you're so busy thinking about where your spirit mate is

851
00:58:35.260 --> 00:58:39.140
that you can't allow yourself to play that part in the movie.

852
00:58:44.980 --> 00:58:46.820
Are you guys picking up what we're laying down here,

853
00:58:46.820 --> 00:58:48.300
me and Holy Spirit?

854
00:58:48.300 --> 00:58:50.460
I hope so, because I definitely am.

855
00:58:50.460 --> 00:58:52.420
But you guys, it means nothing if it's just words.

856
00:58:53.180 --> 00:58:54.380
We've gotta activate this, right?

857
00:58:54.380 --> 00:58:57.180
We do, we gotta activate it, right?

858
00:58:57.180 --> 00:58:59.260
So I want you guys to pray into this.

859
00:58:59.260 --> 00:59:01.100
I'm gonna pray over you and myself right now,

860
00:59:01.100 --> 00:59:03.060
but then when you get off here, I want you to pray,

861
00:59:03.060 --> 00:59:08.060
and I want you to ask God to give you the desire

862
00:59:08.060 --> 00:59:11.380
to not live for yourself,

863
00:59:11.380 --> 00:59:13.300
but to live for something much bigger,

864
00:59:14.780 --> 00:59:18.860
to have a kingdom life every day,

865
00:59:18.860 --> 00:59:22.100
not just once in a while, every day,

866
00:59:22.780 --> 00:59:25.020
to have supernatural adventures with Jesus,

867
00:59:25.020 --> 00:59:26.460
divine assignments.

868
00:59:28.740 --> 00:59:30.620
I want that for you.

869
00:59:30.620 --> 00:59:33.060
I want that for myself, and I'm telling you,

870
00:59:33.060 --> 00:59:34.820
that is how you're gonna get connected

871
00:59:34.820 --> 00:59:37.700
to the biggest breakthroughs in your life.

872
00:59:37.700 --> 00:59:38.940
The biggest breakthroughs in your life

873
00:59:38.940 --> 00:59:40.260
are gonna come from serving the Father.

874
00:59:40.260 --> 00:59:41.780
You guys, I have lots of precedent.

875
00:59:41.780 --> 00:59:44.220
Even in the area of your love lives,

876
00:59:44.220 --> 00:59:46.580
look at all of the matches that God made

877
00:59:46.580 --> 00:59:48.140
that said that he sent out his spirit,

878
00:59:48.140 --> 00:59:49.620
he sent out his servant.

879
00:59:49.660 --> 00:59:52.820
The Father sent out his blank to what?

880
00:59:52.820 --> 00:59:56.820
Find a partner for the son.

881
00:59:56.820 --> 00:59:58.380
There's several stories in the Bible,

882
00:59:58.380 --> 01:00:00.380
and you will see that those women were.

883
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.160
always found serving their father.

884
01:00:03.560 --> 01:00:05.280
They were always serving their father.

885
01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:07.980
Rachel and Leah serving their father.

886
01:00:07.980 --> 01:00:10.080
Rebecca serving her father.

887
01:00:12.140 --> 01:00:13.680
That's not an accident, is it?

888
01:00:16.040 --> 01:00:16.880
It's not.

889
01:00:19.520 --> 01:00:22.560
So ladies, if you want a spirit mate,

890
01:00:23.640 --> 01:00:25.800
a spirit mate, not a soulmate, not a fleshmate,

891
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:28.200
you want a spirit mate as a woman,

892
01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:32.940
the best place to find one is in the service of your father.

893
01:00:40.720 --> 01:00:41.560
He will find you.

894
01:00:41.560 --> 01:00:43.680
I just had another success story the other day.

895
01:00:45.160 --> 01:00:46.960
And she wrote, what did she say?

896
01:00:46.960 --> 01:00:51.960
She said she was doing something.

897
01:00:52.120 --> 01:00:53.560
She's doing some kind of mission strip

898
01:00:53.560 --> 01:00:56.040
or some sort of thing that she felt led to do.

899
01:00:56.040 --> 01:00:57.880
She said, and then boom, there he was.

900
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:00.280
There's another success story that I had.

901
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:02.960
She said, I just felt like God gave me an assignment

902
01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:05.920
to go down for New Year's Eve to LA.

903
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:08.600
There was something that he wanted me to do there.

904
01:01:08.600 --> 01:01:11.400
And I wasn't really sure what it was, but I went.

905
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:16.280
And I went and forget what she ended up doing there,

906
01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:19.020
but she met this guy and now she's married to him.

907
01:01:21.080 --> 01:01:21.920
What was she doing?

908
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:22.760
She was on assignment.

909
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:25.200
She was doing something she felt led to do.

910
01:01:25.200 --> 01:01:28.160
And you guys, it doesn't have to be something bombastic

911
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:31.360
It doesn't have to be, oh, I sacrificed my life

912
01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:33.720
and I'm over being a missionary in Iraq.

913
01:01:33.720 --> 01:01:35.440
No, it doesn't have to be that.

914
01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:41.640
It can just be, I felt led to take some croissants

915
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:46.200
to my neighbor because she just moved here

916
01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:48.800
and I heard her say that she can't find any good croissants.

917
01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:51.440
And so I knew a local bakery and I got some

918
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:52.680
and I took them to her.

919
01:01:54.240 --> 01:01:56.520
And then at the bakery, you bump into your spirit mate.

920
01:01:56.560 --> 01:01:59.240
Now being in the service of your father means

921
01:01:59.240 --> 01:02:03.400
that you have a life that's not a deficit

922
01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:06.400
because you're waiting for it to be filled with a husband.

923
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:11.320
You have a life that is full of the joy of the Lord

924
01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:13.820
because you are busy about your father's business.

925
01:02:17.640 --> 01:02:21.340
I want to present to all of you, gentlemen, you included

926
01:02:21.340 --> 01:02:25.300
that the best things that this world has to offer

927
01:02:25.300 --> 01:02:28.640
that are gifts from the father of lights from above

928
01:02:28.640 --> 01:02:32.900
will find us and pursue us when we are

929
01:02:32.900 --> 01:02:37.300
in our kingdom calling daily.

930
01:02:37.300 --> 01:02:40.000
And every day it's gonna look different y'all.

931
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:41.540
Every day it's gonna look different.

932
01:02:41.540 --> 01:02:44.580
Stop looking for one calling and one purpose.

933
01:02:44.580 --> 01:02:47.900
Your purpose is to show this world what heaven looks like.

934
01:02:47.900 --> 01:02:50.260
Your purpose is to show this world what it looks like

935
01:02:50.260 --> 01:02:53.100
to be a son or daughter of God.

936
01:02:53.100 --> 01:02:56.100
And if you wake up every day and you ask Holy Spirit

937
01:02:56.100 --> 01:03:01.100
to let you do that today, to partner with you in that today

938
01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:04.940
and you're gonna find yourself in some very unusual places

939
01:03:04.940 --> 01:03:06.940
doing some very interesting things

940
01:03:06.940 --> 01:03:09.860
and you are gonna be full of joy and excitement

941
01:03:09.860 --> 01:03:14.760
and supernatural anticipation and revelation

942
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:15.940
every day of your life.

943
01:03:15.940 --> 01:03:17.300
And it's gonna lead you to great places.

944
01:03:17.300 --> 01:03:18.660
Father, we're so thankful.

945
01:03:18.660 --> 01:03:21.340
We're so thankful that you have brought us here together

946
01:03:21.340 --> 01:03:22.940
tonight and that you've taken us

947
01:03:22.940 --> 01:03:25.580
on such a windy road tonight, Lord.

948
01:03:25.580 --> 01:03:28.180
You've taken us from love doesn't seek its own

949
01:03:28.180 --> 01:03:31.060
all the way to walking in a form

950
01:03:31.060 --> 01:03:36.060
of supernatural kingdom identity and assignment

951
01:03:36.180 --> 01:03:40.060
because truly our identity is hidden in you.

952
01:03:40.060 --> 01:03:44.100
And every day we can seek it out and it can look different

953
01:03:44.100 --> 01:03:47.540
and it can be exciting and it can be a thing

954
01:03:47.540 --> 01:03:52.540
that is worth getting up in the morning for.

955
01:03:52.980 --> 01:03:54.460
And so Lord, we thank you for that.

956
01:03:54.460 --> 01:03:56.540
So all those that are dealing with depression, Lord,

957
01:03:56.540 --> 01:03:59.140
I just feel it so strongly in my heart, God.

958
01:03:59.140 --> 01:04:03.180
So many people that are just under a weight of despondency

959
01:04:03.180 --> 01:04:05.220
and despair and depression.

960
01:04:05.220 --> 01:04:08.860
Hope is trying to, they're trying to let go of hope, God.

961
01:04:08.860 --> 01:04:10.660
They're trying to defer it, God.

962
01:04:10.660 --> 01:04:13.540
I ask that you would help them not to defer it, Lord,

963
01:04:13.540 --> 01:04:16.100
but to grab onto it even tighter,

964
01:04:16.100 --> 01:04:19.700
to understand that it's not based on circumstances,

965
01:04:19.700 --> 01:04:23.580
that it's based on them getting up every day

966
01:04:23.580 --> 01:04:24.940
and grabbing a hold of it

967
01:04:25.860 --> 01:04:28.220
and not only keeping it for themselves,

968
01:04:28.220 --> 01:04:29.980
but sharing it with others.

969
01:04:29.980 --> 01:04:32.660
Your word says that we should always be ready

970
01:04:32.660 --> 01:04:35.380
to give other people an explanation of our hope.

971
01:04:35.380 --> 01:04:37.980
And so Lord, I pray that hope, radical hope

972
01:04:37.980 --> 01:04:39.500
would spring up in their hearts, God,

973
01:04:39.500 --> 01:04:42.260
and they would nurture it every day, God.

974
01:04:42.260 --> 01:04:44.580
Every day they would nurture it in the form

975
01:04:44.580 --> 01:04:49.580
of sharing their supernatural assignment with others,

976
01:04:50.060 --> 01:04:53.420
their identity with others, walking in the spirit, Lord.

977
01:04:53.420 --> 01:04:54.420
And so Lord, we just thank you

978
01:04:54.420 --> 01:04:56.260
for all of these things tonight.

979
01:04:56.260 --> 01:04:58.340
I pray, God, that this time together

980
01:04:58.340 --> 01:04:59.820
will bear fruit in our lives.

981
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.000
quickly, speedily, in Jesus name, amen.

982
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:04.000
All right.

983
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:05.000
I love y'all.

984
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:08.200
I'm going to get some sleep and I hope you guys do too.

985
01:05:08.200 --> 01:05:09.200
I'll talk to you soon.

986
01:05:09.200 --> 01:05:10.200
Bye everyone.

987
01:05:10.200 --> 01:05:10.200
