00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880
Welcome, everyone, to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:10.200
If you are new here because you're watching in replay and you're not here live, this is

3
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:17.000
the time when we really press in as a community to the current prophetic reality of heaven.

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.960
What is God saying to us?

5
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.360
What does he want us to know?

6
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:27.120
Hopefully this is a time where this is going to be something that you are struggling with

7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.720
that you're hearing about on this call, something that you might be struggling with as the week

8
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:33.040
progresses.

9
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:37.720
I want it to be a runway of sorts where you can get all the information that you need

10
00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:39.820
to just take off.

11
00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.680
That is really what I believe God wants as well.

12
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:46.680
And so we just look to the Lord, Father God, we're so thankful to be here again this Saturday

13
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:50.360
morning together for those that are watching in replay as well.

14
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:54.040
We know, Lord, that you have brought us here for divine appointments, that you have brought

15
00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:56.840
us here, Lord, for such a time as this.

16
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.640
In the earth, there are so many things that are happening that are not in alignment with

17
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.240
your desire, with your plan, with your purposes for mankind.

18
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:09.220
And so, Lord, we are those change agents.

19
00:01:09.220 --> 00:01:10.480
That's who we are.

20
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.280
You're putting precious wisdom in each and every one of us so that we can go out and

21
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.280
change the world.

22
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.120
And so, Lord, I pray that you would help us, that you would lead us and guide us in Jesus'

23
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:20.120
name.

24
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:21.120
Amen.

25
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:22.120
All right.

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.920
So I'm going to slow things down a little bit this morning.

27
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.920
I hope you're all right.

28
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.120
I know that you guys are used to me coming on here, right?

29
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:35.640
Just like they opened up the stall like a racehorse, let's go.

30
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.120
But this morning, I just want to do a little bit of teaching.

31
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:43.960
I'm actually in Florida for my niece and nephew, their twins, their graduation from high school.

32
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:49.080
You guys, first, I just want to say that it took a lot to get them to the finish line.

33
00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:51.940
You know, they had a rough start.

34
00:01:51.940 --> 00:01:56.540
They're being raised by my younger brother because their father is my older brother,

35
00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:00.360
the one that's chronically homeless and mentally ill.

36
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.900
And their mother's had a lot of problems as well, wasn't able to raise them.

37
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.940
You know, these kids have seen it all.

38
00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:08.139
These kids have been raised in tents.

39
00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:12.020
Yes, they've been raised outside in a tent.

40
00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:13.020
Okay.

41
00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:15.560
They have been raised in hotel rooms.

42
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.940
They have been through a lot of stuff.

43
00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:25.860
And when they were about nine years old, they were given to my mother.

44
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:32.420
My mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer, but she had done the treatments and everything

45
00:02:32.420 --> 00:02:33.940
seemed to be fine.

46
00:02:33.940 --> 00:02:38.100
So she took on these nine-year-old twins so that they could have a home, so they could

47
00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:40.420
go to a regular school system.

48
00:02:40.420 --> 00:02:42.380
And she began to raise them.

49
00:02:42.380 --> 00:02:50.260
And just a year or two into raising them, she became terminally ill with cancer.

50
00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:52.180
And she was very, very sick.

51
00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:56.780
And during those last two years of her life, you know, I was there to help as well.

52
00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:01.260
But my little brother, you know, to keep things, you know, with continuity, these kids had

53
00:03:01.260 --> 00:03:03.620
already been all over the place.

54
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:08.980
Now they were being raised by my mom and her husband in Florida for four years, and we

55
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:09.980
wanted to keep them there.

56
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:11.780
So my little brother stepped in.

57
00:03:11.940 --> 00:03:19.780
He lives down here as well in Florida, 31 years old, you guys, 31 years old.

58
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:26.060
And he stepped in and he actually took his dad, his, my mom's husband was his father,

59
00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:31.500
took his dad and these kids and put them all in one house together with him.

60
00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:37.780
And he's been raising them for the last five years, getting them all the way through high

61
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:40.560
school graduation.

62
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.560
And they made it.

63
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.160
And not only did they graduate, but they graduated with high honors with distinction.

64
00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:48.000
Come on.

65
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.680
Come on, y'all.

66
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.320
Yes, my little brother is also single.

67
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:56.840
For those that said he sounded like a good man, and he's about to be 37 years old.

68
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.760
So if you know, you know.

69
00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.320
And but I will tell you that sometimes life gives us things to do that are not easy.

70
00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:08.900
They're hard things.

71
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:16.579
And we can show up and we can succeed with God's grace and his mercy and his help.

72
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:17.940
And we've needed that.

73
00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:23.420
And my brother has actually grown very close to the Lord because of this challenge.

74
00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:28.180
He was a Christian already, but he's learned how to pray.

75
00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:31.780
Who knows when you're raising teenagers in this world, you learn how to pray, especially

76
00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:33.900
if you're not that much older than them.

77
00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:34.900
You learn how to pray.

78
00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:36.300
So he's learned how to pray.

79
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:38.780
He's learned how to ask for help.

80
00:04:38.780 --> 00:04:40.220
These are some important things right here.

81
00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:44.220
I didn't plan on saying any of this, but if this new fits, you go ahead and tie it up

82
00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:47.340
and wear it.

83
00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:49.780
He's learned how to ask for help from other people.

84
00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:51.980
He's always been very independent, very capable.

85
00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:58.500
In fact, when he was 23 years old, he was he was made the GM, the general manager of

86
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.060
a resort golf course down.

87
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.780
here in Florida, and now at 36 years old, he is the higher than general manager of three

88
00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:10.160
different resort golf courses.

89
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:16.840
He's always been someone who is very capable, very responsible, very knowledgeable, very

90
00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:18.740
get it done.

91
00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:20.140
See that kind of runs in the family.

92
00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:22.860
You can see that, right?

93
00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:24.660
He was raised by two parents.

94
00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:30.340
By the time he came along, I was already out of the house, I was already sent away to live

95
00:05:30.340 --> 00:05:37.260
in a girl's home, but by the time this brother came along, my mom was in a more stable place.

96
00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:41.660
He was raised with two parents in the home and had a very different life than me and

97
00:05:41.660 --> 00:05:45.380
my older brother did.

98
00:05:45.380 --> 00:05:51.140
All of that being said, I just want you guys to understand that there's fruit to be had

99
00:05:51.140 --> 00:05:56.740
when you show up and do the hard stuff.

100
00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:00.580
Like our sister that's on here at 2 a.m. in New Zealand, when you show up and do the

101
00:06:00.580 --> 00:06:04.660
hard stuff, there's fruit to be had.

102
00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:07.980
It's not easy, but it's worth it.

103
00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:10.220
Isn't that what we say here at Last Year Single?

104
00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:11.660
It's not easy, but it's worth it.

105
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:13.700
All right, so that's just the beginning of today.

106
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:20.740
We have all 246 of us on right now, and we're going to go ahead and do a little housekeeping.

107
00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:26.620
I don't want you guys to forget that tomorrow night, we don't have activation as usual.

108
00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:31.060
We have our all-community prophetic night, right?

109
00:06:31.060 --> 00:06:33.440
Isn't that tomorrow night?

110
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:38.500
If it isn't, someone correct me because I'm not always on point with the calendar, but

111
00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:41.020
I believe it is tomorrow night.

112
00:06:41.020 --> 00:06:46.740
If that's the case, then be there or be square, okay?

113
00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.700
This is going to be great.

114
00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:52.640
If you've never been to one of those, our whole prayer team shows up, and we really

115
00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:53.940
lean into the prophetic.

116
00:06:53.940 --> 00:06:57.420
If you've never experienced that, it's going to be a real treat for you.

117
00:06:57.420 --> 00:06:59.860
We don't do anything weird, okay?

118
00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:04.660
If you've had bad experiences with the prophetic, don't worry, you're not going to have them

119
00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:07.660
again.

120
00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:15.700
All right, so I've been on a whirlwind weekend of graduations, you guys.

121
00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:17.020
You know what happened to us last night?

122
00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:19.500
I'm just going to just kind of chat with you guys a little bit.

123
00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:22.580
I'm feeling Holy Spirit flow in this, and then I'm going to get to a little teaching

124
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:25.100
that I want to do.

125
00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:32.940
David, we're driving a rental car, obviously, and he's not used to this car.

126
00:07:32.940 --> 00:07:38.200
It dinged that it was low fuel, and then it immediately ran out of gas.

127
00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:43.700
It let us know, ding, and then no gas.

128
00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:49.140
In front of a Target, I mean, if you're going to break down and run out of gas, I mean,

129
00:07:49.140 --> 00:07:50.980
Target's the place to do it, right?

130
00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:58.540
You can just go in, hang out, have a Starbucks, and just stop around for things that you don't

131
00:07:58.540 --> 00:07:59.540
need.

132
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:05.140
That's what you can do, fast fashion from China, just go in there, hang out a little

133
00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:06.140
bit.

134
00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:12.900
So anyway, it really got me to thinking, you know, obviously, it dinged to let us know,

135
00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:15.660
and then it immediately was done.

136
00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:18.340
We were broke down on the side of the road, so to speak.

137
00:08:18.340 --> 00:08:23.740
But how many times, and I write about the engine light in the heart work, and how often

138
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:27.060
we ignore it.

139
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:32.020
I want you to just be honest right now and raise your hand if you are the kind of person

140
00:08:32.020 --> 00:08:42.299
that rides your gas tank until the fumes run out, just in real life, your car.

141
00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:47.940
Your get gas light comes on, you're like, oh, I got 50 more miles, I'm good, you know?

142
00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:54.980
Let's see all the hands of the people that take it down to the last drop.

143
00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:58.220
Yeah.

144
00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:02.540
It's normal for people to get in your car, ride with you, and the gas light's on.

145
00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:04.820
The gas light's on.

146
00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:10.980
Well, just so you guys know, if you ever buy a Jeep, the brand Jeep, doesn't matter what

147
00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:14.020
kind, they don't roll like that.

148
00:09:14.020 --> 00:09:17.220
When the gas light comes on, it's already too late.

149
00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:21.540
Okay, we got a lot of you, and so bless y'all.

150
00:09:21.540 --> 00:09:26.020
I pray that you don't, and you all seem to be females, and so please don't run out of

151
00:09:26.020 --> 00:09:29.260
gas in the middle of the night on the side of the road by yourself.

152
00:09:29.260 --> 00:09:31.860
Put some gas in your tank, ladies.

153
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:35.700
And so that is what I want to say right now to us.

154
00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:38.060
We got to put some gas in our tank, right?

155
00:09:38.140 --> 00:09:41.140
Got to do a little more self-care.

156
00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:45.460
Got to be a little bit more proactive with our lives.

157
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.380
Our gas light's been on for a while.

158
00:09:47.380 --> 00:09:51.380
Holy Spirit's been trying to tell us, hey, you're running on empty.

159
00:09:51.380 --> 00:09:52.380
You're running on empty.

160
00:09:52.380 --> 00:09:53.380
It's time to slow down.

161
00:09:53.380 --> 00:09:54.540
It's time to get gassed up.

162
00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:58.060
It's time to get filled up, fueled up.

163
00:09:58.060 --> 00:09:59.140
There's a long journey ahead.

164
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.760
You need more than what you have right now.

165
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:04.680
And so I don't know who that's a word for,

166
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.560
but I was just feeling really to go there this morning

167
00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:11.320
with that word as we've been blowing here this morning.

168
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.640
And so if that's you,

169
00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:16.240
you're just one moment from a breakdown.

170
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.860
You just constantly try to press through,

171
00:10:17.860 --> 00:10:19.480
press through, press through, press through.

172
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.240
It's time to stop that.

173
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.080
It's time to take some rest.

174
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.940
It's time to get filled up, fueled up,

175
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:30.380
ready to go on a longer journey.

176
00:10:30.380 --> 00:10:31.780
You want all this stuff from the Lord.

177
00:10:31.780 --> 00:10:34.040
You've been asking for all this stuff from the Lord,

178
00:10:34.040 --> 00:10:35.820
and he knows that you actually can't handle

179
00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:37.820
what you're asking for.

180
00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:40.540
He knows you better than you know yourself.

181
00:10:40.540 --> 00:10:43.660
And he knows that if he gave you what you were asking for,

182
00:10:43.660 --> 00:10:44.820
it would break you

183
00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:50.180
because you are not physically, mentally,

184
00:10:50.180 --> 00:10:53.660
emotionally, relationally able to take it on.

185
00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:59.940
And I don't want you to hear that and think,

186
00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:03.080
oh gosh, then that means my promises are really far away.

187
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:04.620
No, they're not.

188
00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:06.540
They're on the other side of alignment.

189
00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:09.160
Get into alignment with the Lord.

190
00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:14.340
He can fill you up in a moment, right?

191
00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:18.900
He can get you back on track and doing the things

192
00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:21.660
that you need to be doing for yourself

193
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:24.500
in order to go the longer distance

194
00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:26.780
in a very short amount of time.

195
00:11:26.780 --> 00:11:31.100
He can accelerate that healing, that breakthrough,

196
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:34.220
that understanding, whatever it is that you need.

197
00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:35.700
And so don't be discouraged.

198
00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:38.700
What I find is is that when people think

199
00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.940
that things are still far away off,

200
00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:43.060
what they do is they begin to self-medicate

201
00:11:43.060 --> 00:11:45.840
and they actually end up in a much worse position

202
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.540
than they are even when they realize

203
00:11:47.540 --> 00:11:49.100
that they have changes to make.

204
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:53.100
I'm gonna repeat that so you can understand it.

205
00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:54.860
When people begin to think that their hope

206
00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:57.780
is gonna be deferred even longer,

207
00:11:57.780 --> 00:11:59.420
it makes their heart sick enough

208
00:11:59.420 --> 00:12:01.420
to go looking for medication

209
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:05.060
that actually causes that very thing to happen

210
00:12:05.060 --> 00:12:07.900
for it to be deferred even longer

211
00:12:07.900 --> 00:12:09.700
because now they're really off track.

212
00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:15.380
So don't let the enemy lie to you and tell you,

213
00:12:15.380 --> 00:12:18.460
oh, I'm gonna be in this waiting room forever

214
00:12:18.460 --> 00:12:21.320
because first of all, you shouldn't be in a waiting room.

215
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.920
There are no waiting rooms in the kingdom.

216
00:12:24.920 --> 00:12:25.760
So guess what?

217
00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:26.580
If you're in a waiting room,

218
00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:29.120
you're in a waiting room of your own making

219
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.160
or you're in a waiting room that trauma has built,

220
00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:33.800
that lies have built.

221
00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:35.300
It's time to get out of the waiting room.

222
00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:37.280
Life is now, friends.

223
00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:39.080
Life is right now.

224
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.220
You don't get another life.

225
00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:41.440
There's no reincarnation.

226
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.280
This is it.

227
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.900
Your life on earth, you get one

228
00:12:46.900 --> 00:12:49.440
and it's not too late to start living the best one.

229
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.000
All right?

230
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.000
So we can go two different ways this morning

231
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.160
with this teaching and I'm gonna let you vote.

232
00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:00.380
I can take the wisdom that I'm going to share

233
00:13:00.380 --> 00:13:03.780
with you today and I can focus it fully on love life.

234
00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:07.720
Or I can take the wisdom that I'm gonna share

235
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.720
with you this morning and we can focus it

236
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.480
on your whole life.

237
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.540
Which do you prefer?

238
00:13:13.400 --> 00:13:15.440
Put a heart in the chat if you want love life

239
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.840
and put a thumbs up if you want your whole life.

240
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.920
Let's see it, let's see it, let's see it.

241
00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:28.040
Oh, oh, I see a lot of thumbs up.

242
00:13:28.040 --> 00:13:29.720
All right, we're gonna go for it.

243
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.240
All right, you guys might wanna take a little bit of notes.

244
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.480
Although this will be available in replay for you

245
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.160
so you can get it later.

246
00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:39.120
So I wanna talk to you guys about something

247
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:40.980
that happens to all of us.

248
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.720
And I started this conversation last Supernatural Saturday

249
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.560
but I was traveling.

250
00:13:47.560 --> 00:13:49.520
Guys, it's been back to back travel seasons

251
00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:50.560
for David and I.

252
00:13:51.560 --> 00:13:54.320
I was traveling in Louisville and I was running around

253
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.200
so David jumped in and we were talking

254
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.780
about hitting watermarks.

255
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.000
What are those watermarks?

256
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.280
Those watermarks are places that we never get past.

257
00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:08.080
Those are our glass ceilings, those are our upper limits.

258
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.020
And all of us have that glass ceiling problem.

259
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.400
All of us do.

260
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.640
Each of us has an inner gauge, a setting.

261
00:14:19.640 --> 00:14:20.880
Please listen, please hear.

262
00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:24.040
Holy Spirit, open their ears to hear this morning.

263
00:14:24.040 --> 00:14:27.920
Each and every one of us, because of what we've been from,

264
00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:29.400
I mean, from what we've come from,

265
00:14:29.400 --> 00:14:30.880
from what we've been through,

266
00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:33.160
every one of us, because of what we believe.

267
00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:34.840
Because remember, trauma doesn't just hurt us,

268
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.600
it creates different versions of us.

269
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.120
And it's the lies that we believe because of that trauma

270
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.400
that set these inner gauges.

271
00:14:44.260 --> 00:14:45.180
And that's what we're doing here.

272
00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:47.320
That's why heart work is not over yet.

273
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.200
We gotta continue to press forward

274
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.400
until we're living the life that God wrote about us

275
00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:54.360
in that book that he has about us.

276
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.800
Each of us has a book, a story.

277
00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:58.720
And I don't know about you, but I'm gonna keep pressing

278
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:00.320
until I'm living in that story.

279
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.180
So each of us has this inner gauge, it's a setting inside of us and it's determining

280
00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:17.420
how much love, how much success, how much joy, fill in the blank, how much creativity,

281
00:15:17.420 --> 00:15:22.240
how much whatever you fill in the blank for yourself that we will allow ourselves, that

282
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.200
is a very important word, write it down, allow.

283
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:32.520
How much we will allow ourselves to enjoy, how much of those things will we allow ourselves

284
00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:33.520
to enjoy?

285
00:15:33.520 --> 00:15:35.820
And you're like, what?

286
00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:39.520
I want it all, Jackie, no you don't.

287
00:15:39.520 --> 00:15:43.080
You have an inner gauge that tells you how much you deserve and if you get past it, you

288
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.080
will stop.

289
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:52.120
Guys, I'm going to cry, you will stop, you will shut it off, I know that you think it's

290
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.800
something else shutting it off, I know you think it's the devil shutting it off, I know

291
00:15:55.800 --> 00:16:03.720
you think it's other people shutting it off, but it isn't, it is you, it is you.

292
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.280
Have you ever had a really good, exciting time starting to happen in your life and then

293
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:13.720
all of a sudden you get sick with a cold, with the flu or with something else?

294
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.600
Something else starts going, you know, weird in your body and then you start running around

295
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.360
to doctor's appointments instead of enjoying this amazing season of your life, that's what

296
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.360
I'm talking about.

297
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:23.360
You're like, what?

298
00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:24.680
That's just a coincidence.

299
00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:28.440
No, it's not, it's not a coincidence.

300
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:32.080
I want you to think of every single time, this is why I warn people when they start

301
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.800
the heart work, that things are going to go a little crazy when you start the heart work.

302
00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:42.400
I give all of those warnings about all the things that might start trying to go wrong

303
00:16:42.400 --> 00:16:48.840
because it is a glass ceiling problem.

304
00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:53.200
If you've never been past this place and now you think you're going to get past this place,

305
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.160
yeah, there's opposing forces out there, but you don't have to worry about them because

306
00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:58.160
you know where they live?

307
00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:00.160
Under the feet of Jesus.

308
00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:01.160
They're under his feet.

309
00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:06.119
The thing that's stopping you is you.

310
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.200
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.

311
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.240
All right, let's keep going.

312
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.440
All right, so you guys, I know a lot of us just think these are normal problems and that's

313
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:25.760
why this self-sabotage that I'm talking about is disguised as a normal problem.

314
00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:31.880
When things are going too well, we will unconsciously pull ourselves back down to whatever our comfort

315
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:37.100
zone is, even if your comfort zone is misery, Jesus, help us.

316
00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:42.560
Even if your comfort zone is ministry, my friend, misery, my friend, you will, for some

317
00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:44.000
of you, ministry is misery.

318
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.720
That might've been a little, not, that might've been a, what they call a Freudian slip, right?

319
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:57.680
Although I don't believe in that, but yes, pull yourself back down to ministry, but seriously,

320
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.520
you might, you're going to pull yourself back down to your comfort zone, even if it's misery,

321
00:18:03.520 --> 00:18:06.400
even if it's misery.

322
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:12.240
So these things that often shows up like as drama, anxiety, illness, procrastination for

323
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:17.640
a lot of you, you say you really want it, but your actions don't show you want it.

324
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.880
Here it is right here for the taking, but you don't take it.

325
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:22.920
You don't take it.

326
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.320
You don't get organized.

327
00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.680
You don't get focused.

328
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.200
You don't go after it.

329
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:28.840
You procrastinate.

330
00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:31.160
And then of course, conflict as well.

331
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:35.240
Conflict is another thing that comes in.

332
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:41.520
The enemy doesn't have to attack when you're attacking your own expansion.

333
00:18:41.520 --> 00:18:44.640
You guys, he doesn't have to.

334
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.720
You're your own worst enemy.

335
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.600
You know how I always talk about that scripture in Proverbs that says that God's increase,

336
00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:55.160
his promotion comes without sorrow.

337
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.520
And that's what I was saying at the front of this call, at the beginning of this call,

338
00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:03.120
when I was talking about if God gave you the things that you were praying for, they would

339
00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:06.400
crush you.

340
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.680
They would crush you.

341
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.640
That's why God has baby gates in our lives.

342
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.200
There's a lot of us that have baby gates up.

343
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.960
You know, you put up baby gates so your children don't go into areas that they're not mature

344
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:23.480
enough to handle yet, like the kitchen with the hot stove or the staircase or whatever.

345
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.080
The children can see those areas and they know that there will be a future point in

346
00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:29.160
time when they'll be able to go there.

347
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.320
And sometimes they visit those places with mom and dad's help.

348
00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:36.280
We help them navigate the stairs.

349
00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:39.680
We open the baby gate and we let them in the kitchen with us when the stove's not on, you

350
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:40.680
know.

351
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.080
And so you have to understand that we have those baby gates in our lives because God

352
00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:50.280
knows that we're going to get to a place sooner or later where we're mature enough to have

353
00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:52.520
access to those places.

354
00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:54.600
So God's increase comes without sorrow.

355
00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:58.720
It comes without loss.

356
00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.680
And always.

357
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.960
It made me very skeptical back when I was an early believer.

358
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.560
I know the truth now, but back then I was just believing what I was being taught and

359
00:20:08.560 --> 00:20:09.560
told.

360
00:20:09.560 --> 00:20:13.680
But it always made me skeptical when people would say that something was a blessing from

361
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:20.160
the Lord, and yet it was destroying their family, it was destroying their relationship

362
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:21.160
with Him.

363
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.920
They weren't coming to church anymore, because I got this new job, I got to work on Sundays

364
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:25.920
now.

365
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.760
I can never come to church ever again, ever again.

366
00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:36.600
And I'm like, hmm, interesting, you have a new job that's keeping you from spiritual

367
00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:37.600
community.

368
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:43.680
Sounds like God to me, whoo, praise the Lord.

369
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:49.080
Oh, you have a new job that causes you to have to travel 260 days of the year, and you

370
00:20:49.080 --> 00:20:54.440
have three little kids and a wife, oh yeah, that sounds like the Lord to me, mm-hmm, that's

371
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:55.440
what God does.

372
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:01.080
Oh, wait, wait, you're a missionary and you're out doing the Lord's work while your children

373
00:21:01.080 --> 00:21:07.440
and your wife are at home, and they only see you sporadically throughout the year, so your

374
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:13.920
children are basically fatherless while you're ministering to the fatherless, yeah, that

375
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:22.920
sounds like God to me, no, y'all, no, that sounds like you hopping over baby gates trying

376
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:30.320
to get something for yourself, and then calling it God, you guys have to make sure you mute

377
00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:31.320
your phones.

378
00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:36.680
All right, we're meddling in a bunch of stuff this morning, that's okay, and if some of

379
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.960
you were preacher's kids that were abandoned by your family for the work of the Lord, I'm

380
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.640
sorry that happened to you, I am, I repent on behalf of your parents if they haven't

381
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:54.560
repented to you, because that is not what God wanted for your family.

382
00:21:54.560 --> 00:22:02.400
You and your siblings were your parents' first ministry, but people aren't taught that, right,

383
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:09.160
they're taught to sacrifice everything, and so because of that, a lot of kids that had

384
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:14.560
ministerial parents, whether they were pastors or whatever they were, have felt orphaned,

385
00:22:14.560 --> 00:22:17.000
and so if that's you, God has healing for you.

386
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:24.000
So you guys, back to all the self-sabotage that shows up as drama, anxiety, illness,

387
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:31.080
procrastination, conflicts, all the different things, and it's not the enemy doing it, it's

388
00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:39.400
us doing it, because God's promotion, listen up, God's promotion, you guys, I can't come

389
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:44.440
back to the screen to keep muting, so you're gonna have to make sure that you stay muted.

390
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.640
If you don't have a little red microphone, it's not red, but a little slash through it,

391
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.920
that means that you are not muted, and Bethany, you're on here, you can help mute as well.

392
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.600
Please, thank you.

393
00:22:56.600 --> 00:23:01.520
So God's promotion, you guys, when it shows up, and I know that we all want whatever it

394
00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:07.480
is we're praying for, we want that promotion, but when it shows up, it exposes our insecurities.

395
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.560
That's why we teach on the love life side of this community, right now I'm doing your

396
00:23:12.560 --> 00:23:18.600
whole life on this talk on Supernatural Saturday, but on the love life side, that's why we say

397
00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:24.360
that nothing is gonna bring out the lies that you believe about men, women, marriage, God,

398
00:23:24.360 --> 00:23:31.360
yourself in the area of your love life faster than a potential relationship.

399
00:23:31.360 --> 00:23:35.600
When you meet someone, all that stuff's gonna come to the surface, and then you're gonna

400
00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:39.320
have to deal with it, that's why it's good for us to unpack it ahead of time by doing

401
00:23:39.320 --> 00:23:46.440
heart work, because God's promotion exposes our insecurities.

402
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:54.960
These glass ceilings, these watermarks are places where our soul hasn't caught up with

403
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.840
the God opportunity.

404
00:23:56.840 --> 00:24:00.200
Come on, think about that for a second.

405
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.240
I'm not talking about your spirit, you guys, your spirit's redeemed.

406
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:05.480
Your spirit's been redeemed by the finished work of the cross.

407
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.160
When you received Christ, you became a new creature, okay?

408
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:13.440
I'm talking about your soul and your flesh right now.

409
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:18.400
The soul realm, if you remember Heart Work 101, that's the heart realm, the soul realm,

410
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:24.120
those words are interchangeable in scripture, it is the place where all the information

411
00:24:24.120 --> 00:24:25.120
is being kept.

412
00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:29.400
If you've ever seen that cartoon Inside Out, it's like that, it's like master control,

413
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.040
it's the epicenter of all your mind, will, and emotions.

414
00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:36.320
That is your soul realm, that is your heart realm.

415
00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:41.640
That's why the Bible says, above all things that you possess, that are of value, your

416
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.080
heart is the most valuable thing, so guard it, because out of it flows the quality of

417
00:24:47.080 --> 00:24:49.600
your life, the quality of your life.

418
00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:55.800
You guys, yes, we're all going to live, we're all alive, but are we going to have good lives?

419
00:24:55.800 --> 00:25:00.080
And the bigger question is, are we going to have good, good lives, the John 10, 10 life?

420
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.240
the abundant life. Because here we are sabotaging our own abundance, sabotaging our own expansion.

421
00:25:07.760 --> 00:25:10.960
I'm talking to myself, I hope you know that. I do this all the time.

422
00:25:12.320 --> 00:25:17.600
But the key is that I recognize when I do it. I'm recognizing it more and more and more and

423
00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:26.720
I want you to recognize it more and more and more. So these God promotions, these invitations to

424
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:33.600
abundance, these open doors. If you want to put it in your love life, these introductions to people.

425
00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:39.840
They start to expose the cracks in the foundation. They start to expose our insecurities.

426
00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:46.800
They start to expose these places where our soul and our bodies, our flesh, because your body is

427
00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:52.000
the slave. It's just going to follow whatever your soul does. Wherever your soul goes, your body's

428
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.200
going to go. I know you think that your body's in control, but it's not. Okay, your body is just

429
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:02.240
responding to this soul part of you. And we want it to respond to the spirit part. We want the

430
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:09.600
spirit to control the body, not the soul. And we want to redeem the soul. The soul is the thing.

431
00:26:09.600 --> 00:26:16.960
The heart is the thing that we have to continually put before the Lord for purification.

432
00:26:17.280 --> 00:26:23.280
All right, we live in a world that's trying to wipe its muddy feet on our heart continuously.

433
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:34.000
So we have this story, you guys. We have these callings. We're hardwired with some stuff.

434
00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:37.200
And it's good stuff. It's great stuff.

435
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:45.840
But these glass ceilings, these watermarks are places where we just haven't had enough healing

436
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:51.760
to step into those callings. I want you to ask you a question. I'm going to go ahead and ask this

437
00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:56.720
question. You can go ahead and think about it for a second. You can put it in the chat. I'm trying

438
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.400
to do, if you haven't noticed, a little bit of a teaching and an activation since we don't have

439
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:05.600
activation tomorrow night. We have a little bit of a teaching. I'm going to go ahead and ask you

440
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:12.480
tomorrow night. We have all community prophetic night. So here's the question. Where in your life

441
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.360
do things start to fall apart just as they're getting good?

442
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.200
You're like, oh, I'm going to work out with a trainer. I'm going to start eating healthy.

443
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:28.480
I'm going to start walking. Oh, you start seeing a little bit of progress. And then all of a sudden,

444
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:34.480
boom, you hurt yourself. You twisted your knee. You're like, well, Jackie, that was an accident.

445
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:39.920
No, honey. No, it wasn't. If it happens every time, that's not called an accident.

446
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.800
That's not called a coincidence. That's called sabotage.

447
00:27:45.520 --> 00:27:51.280
Where in your life do things start to fall apart right as you're starting to make some headway?

448
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.080
I was about to say headward. Right as you're starting to make some headway,

449
00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:09.120
just as you're starting to move forward. Come on, put it in the chat. What is that area

450
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.440
that you take three steps forward and six steps back?

451
00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:21.440
Is this helping anyone? Do you feel it? Are you starting to understand that there's something

452
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:27.200
happening here that's bigger than what you thought it was?

453
00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:33.920
And you're like, well, shoot, just figures. Is what it is? No, it isn't what it is. That's the

454
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:41.040
problem. We got to dig in deeper. It isn't what you think it is. Okay, get them up there. Get them

455
00:28:41.040 --> 00:28:45.920
up there. Get them up there. Just starting to have some breakthrough. Just starting to see

456
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:51.360
some success. Just starting to get excited about change and transformation. And then boom, flat

457
00:28:51.520 --> 00:28:57.840
on your back. Guys, I am not going to lie and say that pushing past watermarks and glass ceilings

458
00:28:57.840 --> 00:29:03.840
is fun or easy because it's not. But hopefully after today's teaching and last week's teaching,

459
00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:08.560
because we've been building up on this, you're going to want to do it because I believe God

460
00:29:08.560 --> 00:29:13.200
is stirring up a new generation of people who are going to want to do it. And I'm going to

461
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:18.000
encourage you to do it. I'm going to encourage you to do it. I'm going to encourage you to do it.

462
00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:22.320
You're going to want to do it because I believe God is stirring your waters. I

463
00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:27.840
believe that there's grace with you to bust through these self-imposed limitations.

464
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.000
Charles, a watermark is a place where the water's never gotten any higher.

465
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:43.360
That's as high as you've ever gotten. If you've ever seen water stain on a wall from flooding,

466
00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:51.280
you see that the water went this high, but it's never gone any higher. And so we all have those

467
00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:55.920
in our lives. We have places where we've gotten this far, but we've never gone past that place.

468
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.840
And you guys, like I said last week, for some of you, it's generational.

469
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.640
No one in your family ever got past that place

470
00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:08.840
No one in your family ever graduated from high school. No one in your family ever, you know live past

471
00:30:08.840 --> 00:30:14.340
I I have a friend like well, every one of my family, you know died by 63 years old and

472
00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:18.060
So they're like I got to make it past 63 years old

473
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:24.020
And it was from you know diseases disorders all the things so these are watermarks friends

474
00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:28.300
These are glass ceilings and the reason why they're glass ceilings is because

475
00:30:29.060 --> 00:30:33.460
They're they're strong monsters. We can push through them. We can break through them

476
00:30:37.540 --> 00:30:44.020
Okay guys going on moving forward so everyone put some stuff up we saw all the things that were there

477
00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:48.580
If you're not looking at the chat, please pay attention to it so you can see what your

478
00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:52.340
But your friends are putting up relationship with God dating and love life

479
00:30:53.540 --> 00:30:59.940
Romantic life a lot of people saying romance some people saying things like reading the Bible praying

480
00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:03.220
Some people are like, what's the question again?

481
00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:11.060
Okay career love life time scheduling exercise finances community weight loss

482
00:31:12.260 --> 00:31:15.460
Doubt losing weight starting creative projects

483
00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:18.460
Okay, lots of different things up there

484
00:31:23.540 --> 00:31:25.540
So, let's talk about

485
00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:31.380
Some barriers and I just briefly touched on some barriers last week

486
00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:39.140
Because I was running around trying to get in the car get moving. I had to get to that podcast

487
00:31:40.540 --> 00:31:42.540
But here's the thing

488
00:31:42.540 --> 00:31:48.460
But here's some barriers and these are things that you really have to take some time to pray into okay, so write them down

489
00:31:49.020 --> 00:31:54.060
You might not feel like this is you right here in this moment?

490
00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:58.460
But when you pray into it a little bit more you might see. Hey, yeah, that really is me

491
00:32:00.300 --> 00:32:04.700
So one of them are just feeling like you just don't you're just you don't deserve it

492
00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:09.980
Okay, you just don't deserve it. I'm not worthy of that

493
00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:13.260
You just don't deserve it. I'm not worthy of this

494
00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:16.940
I'm not worthy of this

495
00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:21.740
I don't deserve this

496
00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:25.420
You're too flawed

497
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:27.420
You messed up too much

498
00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:32.460
You've always just carried shame on you because of things that have happened in your past that weren't even your fault

499
00:32:32.860 --> 00:32:35.420
You were abused in some way. You carry a lot of shame

500
00:32:36.060 --> 00:32:37.900
So you just you always

501
00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:42.540
Like this low-grade fever in your body of i'm not good enough

502
00:32:45.340 --> 00:32:47.740
I'm not good enough. Well

503
00:32:50.780 --> 00:32:56.060
Here's the news flash you're not you're not good enough you are flawed

504
00:32:58.860 --> 00:33:01.740
But your worthiness doesn't have anything to do with you

505
00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:04.460
So here's your spiritual reframe

506
00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:08.460
If that's one of the barriers that's keeping you at a set mark

507
00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:14.540
God doesn't call the qualified right? He qualifies the called i'm proof of that

508
00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:17.420
Every one of my family has been divorced more than one time

509
00:33:17.420 --> 00:33:21.580
My mom was married three times before I was 10 years old and yet look what I do

510
00:33:22.540 --> 00:33:24.540
As my business and ministry

511
00:33:27.580 --> 00:33:33.580
So that could be a barrier here's another barrier, okay you guys that first barrier can be so many different things

512
00:33:35.180 --> 00:33:37.180
Shame guilt

513
00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:40.220
Carrying all kinds of things from your generations

514
00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:46.540
It doesn't even have anything to do with you. But that we're going to sum it up into I just don't feel worthy

515
00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:52.540
Okay, that's where I sum that first barrier up into okay barrier two

516
00:33:58.540 --> 00:34:00.540
You're just afraid

517
00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:03.900
Of being alone

518
00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:06.380
I see this barrier so much you guys

519
00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:14.540
I see this barrier so much and so many of my students and clients and this is I feel like this is a single person's

520
00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:17.020
barrier a lot

521
00:34:17.020 --> 00:34:21.100
Where if you are close to your family to your people to your church community?

522
00:34:21.739 --> 00:34:26.540
Because they have been your tribe your village because you're single you don't have your own family

523
00:34:27.580 --> 00:34:29.340
You don't want to leave them

524
00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:31.340
You don't want to leave them behind

525
00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:33.760
But they're keeping you stuck they're keeping you stagnant

526
00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:41.900
So the internal mantra that you have is if I grow from this place if I go from this place i'm going to be alone

527
00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:45.340
Is anyone feeling that?

528
00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:48.300
I'm going to be alone

529
00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:53.580
Nobody else around me has done these things and they're okay

530
00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:58.460
And i'm just going to have to stay there stay here with them because if I don't then i'm going to be alone

531
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:12.500
I promise you guys, first of all, maybe they can't go until you go first.

532
00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:14.620
I'm talking about your family right now.

533
00:35:14.620 --> 00:35:19.460
So many single women, especially really afraid if they have good family of leaving their

534
00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:22.140
family, of being away from their family.

535
00:35:22.140 --> 00:35:27.860
I've seen people turn down opportunities to be in relationships because they had to relocate

536
00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:32.240
because it's not a non-negotiable from heaven, it's become their non-negotiable because they

537
00:35:32.240 --> 00:35:35.440
don't want to move away from their family because once again, their family has been

538
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:41.360
the only thing that they've had as far as relationships all their life.

539
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:42.640
They haven't had a significant other.

540
00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:48.560
They didn't have children of their own yet or maybe ever biologically.

541
00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:54.660
Guys, I just put up on my Instagram a study that says that more and more couples are choosing

542
00:35:54.660 --> 00:35:56.960
to be child-free.

543
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:57.960
Not child-less.

544
00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:58.960
I want you to see the propaganda.

545
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.260
I want you to see the marketing.

546
00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:02.260
Child-free.

547
00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:03.900
We like the word free, don't we?

548
00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:12.380
The word free is great, so not child-less, child-free because child-less sounds sad.

549
00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:16.740
Child-less, child-free, child-less, child-free.

550
00:36:16.740 --> 00:36:19.980
Do you see what I'm saying?

551
00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:25.700
So I put it up to see, obviously my followers are probably mostly Christian marriage-minded

552
00:36:25.700 --> 00:36:32.680
singles, but I put it up to see what people said and about 14 people said, yes, they want

553
00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:37.840
to be child-free and I kind of scrolled through the avatars to see if they were older people

554
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:41.400
that are like, hey, that ship has sailed, but no, they weren't.

555
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:43.840
They were all child-bearing people.

556
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.400
And so I was like, interesting, very interesting.

557
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:51.720
I think there might be some unhealed trauma lurking in your heart, my friend, because

558
00:36:51.720 --> 00:36:53.320
remember it doesn't have to just be biological.

559
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:55.080
You could adopt children.

560
00:36:55.080 --> 00:37:01.620
If you're in that family-raising age group, not wanting lineage and legacy, probably some

561
00:37:01.620 --> 00:37:03.700
kind of block, right?

562
00:37:03.700 --> 00:37:04.700
But I did notice something.

563
00:37:04.700 --> 00:37:08.420
There were no men that wanted to be child-free.

564
00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:11.380
And of course, all the feminists showed up and they were like, that's because they don't

565
00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:13.100
have to be pregnant.

566
00:37:13.100 --> 00:37:14.760
That's because they don't have to give birth.

567
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.460
That's because they don't have to breastfeed.

568
00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:20.060
Well, there's some men out there that are trying to breastfeed, if that makes you feel

569
00:37:20.060 --> 00:37:21.660
any better.

570
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:29.360
Seriously, though, seriously, though, I don't think that's what it is.

571
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.840
I mean, yeah, women do a lot more when the babies are little and young.

572
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:34.040
It is true.

573
00:37:34.040 --> 00:37:40.040
But the bottom line is, is that we've been hardwired to want family.

574
00:37:40.040 --> 00:37:43.520
We've been hardwired to want lineage and legacy.

575
00:37:43.520 --> 00:37:45.640
We have, right?

576
00:37:45.640 --> 00:37:48.600
And there's all kinds of children on the earth that need lineage and legacy.

577
00:37:48.600 --> 00:37:50.240
They need a family to bring them in.

578
00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:54.860
So wanting to be child-free, I think is more about trauma.

579
00:37:54.860 --> 00:37:59.620
I think it's more about wanting to focus on yourself and nobody else.

580
00:37:59.620 --> 00:38:01.340
I think it's about attachment issues.

581
00:38:01.340 --> 00:38:02.340
I think it's about a lot of things.

582
00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:03.540
So I just want to put that out there.

583
00:38:03.540 --> 00:38:08.620
If any of you are feeling that way inside your heart, this is not about judgment.

584
00:38:08.620 --> 00:38:10.300
It's not about criticism.

585
00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:20.220
It's just about, hey, ask Holy Spirit to show you if that is a God-given non-desire, right?

586
00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:27.640
Because in my mind, if we have the quote-unquote gift of singleness, we're going to be focused

587
00:38:27.640 --> 00:38:33.880
on ministry all of our lives and not be entangled in domestic duties.

588
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:39.120
It would include marriage, not just family.

589
00:38:39.120 --> 00:38:41.160
It would include marriage and not just family.

590
00:38:41.160 --> 00:38:42.160
All right.

591
00:38:42.160 --> 00:38:43.160
Okay, guys.

592
00:38:43.160 --> 00:38:44.160
Moving forward.

593
00:38:44.160 --> 00:38:47.560
Anyone getting anything out of today, raise your hand.

594
00:38:47.560 --> 00:38:50.820
If you're like, yeah, Jackie, I really, God's speaking to me.

595
00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:51.820
I'm seeing some stuff.

596
00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:52.820
All right.

597
00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:53.820
Good.

598
00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:55.140
I want to see some fruit from this.

599
00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:56.140
Okay.

600
00:38:56.140 --> 00:39:00.900
So that disloyalty or abandonment barrier of, hey, we don't want to be disloyal.

601
00:39:00.900 --> 00:39:03.860
We don't want to go farther than the people that we love.

602
00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:05.480
We don't want to leave our communities.

603
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:10.060
We don't want to leave our safe spaces and the places that have supported us.

604
00:39:10.060 --> 00:39:12.980
But we can't get anything more here.

605
00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:14.980
We can't.

606
00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:16.700
We have a different call.

607
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:19.280
We've outgrown this stuff, but we still stay here.

608
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.720
It's really uncomfortable too, right?

609
00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:25.400
Trying to wear those shoes that you outgrew a couple sizes ago.

610
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:28.240
And so that's the second reason why.

611
00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:29.240
Okay.

612
00:39:29.240 --> 00:39:35.160
Sometimes when we want to expand, expansion means that we have to go away from old environments.

613
00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:38.520
Once again, you might be the first person to go so that others can follow you.

614
00:39:38.520 --> 00:39:40.600
It doesn't mean you're never going to see those people again.

615
00:39:40.600 --> 00:39:41.600
All right.

616
00:39:41.600 --> 00:39:42.600
It doesn't mean that.

617
00:39:42.600 --> 00:39:43.600
All right.

618
00:39:43.600 --> 00:39:45.200
Let's talk about some more blocks.

619
00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:54.300
Here's another block, believing that success in this area is just going to be a burden.

620
00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:57.220
And a lot of people, I know that I said I'm going to apply it to your whole life, but

621
00:39:57.220 --> 00:39:59.940
I've heard so many people, whether they know

622
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.360
Oh, that they're saying it or not,

623
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.520
apply this to their love lives.

624
00:40:03.520 --> 00:40:05.360
Oh, you know, being in relationships

625
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.160
is gonna be so much trouble.

626
00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:11.160
They say they want it, right?

627
00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:13.400
But men are exhausting.

628
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:16.720
Women are demanding, right?

629
00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:18.320
It's true.

630
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:20.560
Relationships are hard.

631
00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:22.120
I hear this so much.

632
00:40:22.120 --> 00:40:23.600
And whether you know it or not,

633
00:40:23.600 --> 00:40:25.560
your internal dialogue about this

634
00:40:25.560 --> 00:40:29.000
is actually what's keeping you single.

635
00:40:29.040 --> 00:40:30.920
What you really believe about it.

636
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.080
Because what happens is, is you start to sabotage it.

637
00:40:34.080 --> 00:40:34.920
You do.

638
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:37.400
I mean, God can send the right person,

639
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.080
but if your soul isn't healed enough,

640
00:40:40.080 --> 00:40:42.600
your heart isn't healed enough to receive them,

641
00:40:42.600 --> 00:40:43.880
you're gonna reject the very thing

642
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.320
that you've been praying for.

643
00:40:47.040 --> 00:40:48.600
I want you to hear something.

644
00:40:48.600 --> 00:40:49.560
You need to hear this.

645
00:40:49.560 --> 00:40:51.120
In fact, I'll probably make this a quote

646
00:40:51.120 --> 00:40:52.680
and put it on my Instagram today.

647
00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:55.200
Love isn't just found.

648
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.240
I know you think you're looking for it.

649
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:00.600
It's not found.

650
00:41:00.600 --> 00:41:01.480
You are love.

651
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:04.760
You come from love, for love, to love.

652
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:05.960
Love is not found.

653
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.600
It's allowed.

654
00:41:07.600 --> 00:41:08.440
It's allowed.

655
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:09.320
Write it down.

656
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:10.840
Love is not found.

657
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:11.840
It's allowed.

658
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.440
It is allowed.

659
00:41:21.520 --> 00:41:22.360
Come on.

660
00:41:25.080 --> 00:41:27.440
You guys, you're not gonna change any of this by yourself.

661
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:28.280
You're not.

662
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.520
Remember, this is your thermostat.

663
00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:32.560
My mom would get upset

664
00:41:32.560 --> 00:41:34.080
if anyone would mess with her thermostat.

665
00:41:34.080 --> 00:41:37.960
Anybody else have moms or grandparents like that?

666
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:39.280
It's on 73.

667
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:40.920
Just leave it there.

668
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:42.520
Don't touch it.

669
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:44.840
Right?

670
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:47.280
In fact, it was just such a,

671
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:48.200
it was just such a,

672
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.560
it was such a point of pain when you would visit my mom

673
00:41:53.560 --> 00:41:55.520
that no one would even wanna talk about it.

674
00:41:55.520 --> 00:41:57.280
It's too hot in the house.

675
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.840
It was in Florida, first of all, y'all, okay?

676
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:00.680
So it's humid.

677
00:42:00.680 --> 00:42:01.960
It's sticky in the house,

678
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.120
but my mom would get so upset about it.

679
00:42:04.120 --> 00:42:04.960
You felt like you were like

680
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.280
in an episode of Lord of the Rings.

681
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:08.360
It's like, you know,

682
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.560
just like the battle for the thermostat

683
00:42:10.560 --> 00:42:11.560
or like Harry Potter,

684
00:42:11.560 --> 00:42:14.280
like the thing that shall not be named.

685
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.200
You know, you just can't talk about it.

686
00:42:16.200 --> 00:42:17.600
Don't talk about thermostat.

687
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.400
Don't even mention it.

688
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.840
I remember one time, you guys,

689
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.160
my husband didn't know about the thermostat.

690
00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:27.040
He didn't.

691
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.720
He had never visited my mom before.

692
00:42:28.720 --> 00:42:29.680
And so, cause you remember,

693
00:42:29.680 --> 00:42:31.760
my mom and I were estranged for many years

694
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:32.760
here and there and stuff.

695
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.520
So he hadn't been to her home before.

696
00:42:35.520 --> 00:42:37.880
And so we went to her home in Florida

697
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:39.680
and we got there two days before him

698
00:42:39.680 --> 00:42:41.880
because he had to stay back and work.

699
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.640
And he came and he got there in the middle of the night.

700
00:42:44.640 --> 00:42:45.680
I picked him up from the airport,

701
00:42:45.680 --> 00:42:47.280
like red eye flight.

702
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:48.520
We went back to my mom's house.

703
00:42:48.520 --> 00:42:50.440
We got right in the bed and went to sleep.

704
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.440
The next morning, my mom's all upset.

705
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.680
I hear her out there in the hallway.

706
00:42:54.680 --> 00:42:56.000
She's so upset.

707
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:59.160
Somebody messed with her thermostat

708
00:42:59.160 --> 00:43:03.040
and they changed it to like 69 degrees, y'all.

709
00:43:03.040 --> 00:43:05.080
And I come out of the room,

710
00:43:05.080 --> 00:43:07.560
Dave is exhausted, midnight flight or whatever.

711
00:43:07.560 --> 00:43:08.480
He's still in the bed.

712
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:10.640
I come out, I'm like, mom.

713
00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:12.400
Cause there was a bunch of people visiting.

714
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:13.240
I go, mom.

715
00:43:13.240 --> 00:43:16.240
I was like, no one would be crazy enough.

716
00:43:16.240 --> 00:43:18.000
This is literally what I said.

717
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.080
No one would be crazy enough to touch your thermostat.

718
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:24.800
Okay, no one changed it.

719
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:25.680
No one touched it.

720
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:27.920
No one would do that.

721
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:29.800
And then my husband comes out of the room behind me

722
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:31.080
and says, oh, I changed it.

723
00:43:31.080 --> 00:43:31.920
I'm like.

724
00:43:35.640 --> 00:43:36.760
Oh my gosh.

725
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:38.320
He's like, what?

726
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.200
He was like, it was really, it was really stuffy in here.

727
00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:43.440
And I was like, oh my God.

728
00:43:44.560 --> 00:43:46.680
But you guys, some of us, we get that upset

729
00:43:46.680 --> 00:43:50.960
when someone tries to push us back,

730
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.720
push us past our set mark.

731
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:56.800
We get really upset.

732
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.160
We get irritated.

733
00:43:59.160 --> 00:44:00.320
We get annoyed.

734
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:03.040
We don't wanna be uncomfortable.

735
00:44:03.040 --> 00:44:05.320
We want things to be the way that we want them to be,

736
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:07.560
the way that we're comfortable with them being.

737
00:44:07.560 --> 00:44:10.120
Cause that doesn't work in relationship.

738
00:44:10.120 --> 00:44:11.760
I can guarantee you one thing.

739
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:13.080
If you want a spirit mate,

740
00:44:13.080 --> 00:44:17.280
they are going to challenge you past these set points.

741
00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:20.600
They're gonna challenge you past them.

742
00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:23.560
Not even on purpose, just by being alive.

743
00:44:23.560 --> 00:44:25.640
They're gonna challenge you past them.

744
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:29.640
Just by breathing in the same room as you, okay?

745
00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:31.840
Just by sleeping in the same bed as you,

746
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:33.320
you are going to be threat.

747
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:35.600
You are going to be challenged.

748
00:44:35.600 --> 00:44:38.560
There are times when I'm like, do you even need to breathe?

749
00:44:38.560 --> 00:44:41.400
You're breathing really hard right now,

750
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.200
like out of your nostrils.

751
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:46.160
What?

752
00:44:46.160 --> 00:44:48.760
Why is your breath so hot?

753
00:44:52.640 --> 00:44:54.080
And I use that example, you guys,

754
00:44:54.080 --> 00:44:55.720
because it can be the silliest, stupidest,

755
00:44:55.720 --> 00:44:58.560
tiniest little thing that you're like,

756
00:44:58.560 --> 00:45:00.360
and you know, your partner's gonna.

757
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.080
You'd be like, you don't even want me to exist, do you?

758
00:45:02.080 --> 00:45:04.080
And you're like, no, not really.

759
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.480
But that's a funny example, you guys, but there's so many things.

760
00:45:10.520 --> 00:45:14.160
There's so, so many things that are going to happen.

761
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:20.920
They're going to cause you to be changed, to be transformed in relationship.

762
00:45:21.520 --> 00:45:23.280
It's supposed to challenge you.

763
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.080
It's supposed to stretch you.

764
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:27.000
It's not supposed to be easy.

765
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:32.120
Now, remember, when I say easy, I'm not talking about abusive, okay?

766
00:45:32.120 --> 00:45:33.120
Get that out of your head.

767
00:45:33.120 --> 00:45:36.560
Wow, I shouldn't have given up on that abusive person.

768
00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:38.840
No, no, that's not what I'm saying.

769
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:43.320
What I'm saying is that good relationships are hard too.

770
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:44.520
It's just a different kind of hard.

771
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:48.400
Okay, so let's get back because I don't want to waste our time here.

772
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:55.000
All right, so we think that we're flawed and unworthy.

773
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:02.760
We get stuck in the mindset of not wanting to go past the places that the people we love

774
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:04.640
have gone past, that haven't gone past.

775
00:46:05.040 --> 00:46:07.120
We don't want to go past those family watermarks.

776
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:09.120
We don't want to venture out on our own.

777
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:11.600
A lot of us wouldn't have been Abraham.

778
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:16.040
Abraham, I want you to go away from your father's house to a land that I will show you.

779
00:46:16.080 --> 00:46:17.800
Most of us would have been like, nah, I'm good.

780
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:20.840
I'm really good, okay?

781
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:28.720
And then this next kind of place where we're stuck is that the thing that we want, even

782
00:46:28.720 --> 00:46:31.720
the love that we want, it's going to be hard.

783
00:46:32.600 --> 00:46:33.680
It's going to be hard.

784
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:35.120
And then the next one is...

785
00:46:38.040 --> 00:46:40.680
I feel like those are the only ones that I really wanted to share.

786
00:46:41.080 --> 00:46:42.280
I have these written down here.

787
00:46:45.560 --> 00:46:49.760
The other one is too, is that I think as Christians especially, I'll go ahead and share

788
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:50.800
it in this context.

789
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:55.920
I think that we are afraid of kind of getting too big for our britches.

790
00:46:56.360 --> 00:47:02.280
We're afraid of, you know, just taking the glory instead of God getting it, or we're

791
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:04.800
afraid of what other people might say or think of us.

792
00:47:05.040 --> 00:47:07.000
We're afraid of not being kind.

793
00:47:07.040 --> 00:47:11.120
I know people who are afraid of making more money because, you know, they think that

794
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:15.240
being wealthier is not godly or, you know, whatever.

795
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:17.200
You guys, money is a tool, right?

796
00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:18.080
Just like anything else.

797
00:47:18.080 --> 00:47:19.120
The internet's a tool.

798
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.440
Anything that people say is bad and good, especially in religious circles, it's not

799
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:24.120
bad or good.

800
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:25.160
Why?

801
00:47:25.160 --> 00:47:26.320
Because it doesn't have a soul.

802
00:47:26.520 --> 00:47:27.280
None of it does.

803
00:47:27.560 --> 00:47:33.160
It can't be aligned with evil or aligned with righteousness because it's not a thing.

804
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:34.920
It's not a person.

805
00:47:35.080 --> 00:47:38.000
It's not a soul infused being.

806
00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:40.560
What it is, is just a tool.

807
00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:41.400
It's a tool.

808
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:47.280
And in the hands of people, it becomes, you know, righteous or unrighteous.

809
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:49.760
It's important for you to understand that.

810
00:47:50.600 --> 00:47:55.120
But there are a lot of people that have these set marks of thinking that, you know,

811
00:47:55.120 --> 00:47:58.320
at this point, it just can't be good.

812
00:47:58.320 --> 00:47:59.720
Nothing can be good after this.

813
00:47:59.720 --> 00:48:01.200
And so they just don't go past it.

814
00:48:01.200 --> 00:48:02.240
And it's just not true.

815
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:03.640
Right?

816
00:48:03.680 --> 00:48:08.880
False humility, spiritual hiding, all of that would come under this category.

817
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:09.720
Right?

818
00:48:09.720 --> 00:48:14.840
So out of those barriers, okay, I know the last one was just kind of a little bit

819
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:21.680
unclear, but let's just call it, um, let's call it dimming your light to make others

820
00:48:21.680 --> 00:48:24.680
feel comfortable or to appease a religious consciousness.

821
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:25.520
Let's call it that.

822
00:48:26.040 --> 00:48:26.320
Okay.

823
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:29.120
So out of those four, which one do you most resonate with?

824
00:48:29.560 --> 00:48:30.800
You feel like you're just unworthy.

825
00:48:31.640 --> 00:48:34.560
Remember, these are mostly unconscious things that you're asking to come up to

826
00:48:34.560 --> 00:48:36.520
the conscious right now, because you're questioning it.

827
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:41.280
We're asking what we unconsciously believe to be shown to us by Holy Spirit.

828
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:42.480
That's what we're doing right now.

829
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:47.120
So that first one is that you just feel, you feel this low grade fever of shame all

830
00:48:47.120 --> 00:48:47.720
the time.

831
00:48:48.600 --> 00:48:53.360
You're just carrying around guilt, feeling unworthy, not good enough.

832
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.560
And then that second block would be, you just don't want to abandon your people,

833
00:48:57.560 --> 00:48:58.560
your family.

834
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.800
You just don't want to go past the place where everybody else has gone.

835
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.880
If you grow, you'll be alone kind of idea.

836
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.400
And that Lex, that next one is that it's just going to be so much trouble.

837
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:10.560
It's going to be so hard.

838
00:49:10.560 --> 00:49:11.920
It's going to be such a burden.

839
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:13.440
Right.

840
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:20.160
And then that last one is just that false humility, that spiritual hiding, that

841
00:49:20.200 --> 00:49:21.800
religious consciousness.

842
00:49:23.240 --> 00:49:27.400
Is this even godly to want this or to do this kind of thing out of those four,

843
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.240
which one do you most resonate with right now in this conversation?

844
00:49:30.600 --> 00:49:33.600
After you listen to this again, after you pray into it, you might resonate with

845
00:49:33.600 --> 00:49:34.240
something else.

846
00:49:34.560 --> 00:49:35.040
Let's see it.

847
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.880
A lot of people feeling shame, just carrying it around like a low grade

848
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:39.400
fever.

849
00:49:40.040 --> 00:49:43.800
Father, we just pray that you would just break that off of them in Jesus name.

850
00:49:46.600 --> 00:49:48.480
Jesus name.

851
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:49.720
Right.

852
00:49:49.720 --> 00:49:52.280
A lot of people resonating with three and four.

853
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.720
A lot of people resonating with the shame one.

854
00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:00.760
And then the last one is that it's just a lot of people feeling shame.

855
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.920
So team that's on here, let's make sure that we're digging into that on our next advanced

856
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.200
heart work and also digging into it on our next activation.

857
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:16.320
One is shame and four is spiritual hiding or religious consciousness

858
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:20.000
for who asked for that. Okay, guys, we're moving forward.

859
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:28.640
All right. So you guys, we want to move forward into what God has for each and every one of us,

860
00:50:28.640 --> 00:50:33.440
and it's different. Yeah, we all have some same things that were delivered at the finished work

861
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:40.080
of the cross, joy, peace, righteousness, an opportunity to become closer to Christ through

862
00:50:40.080 --> 00:50:45.120
the ministry of the Holy Spirit. You know, we have all kinds of things that we all get access

863
00:50:45.120 --> 00:50:49.760
to. But what that looks like on our life is different. All of us have different callings.

864
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:54.960
We have different giftings, right? Those stories that God wrote about us, not one of them is the

865
00:50:54.960 --> 00:51:01.440
same. So it's important that we understand that. But a lot of us have been wasting a lot of our

866
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:06.320
time doing things that we're not good at. I want to talk to you about this right now. Remember,

867
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:11.680
you wanted me to focus this on your whole life, not just your love life. So I'm trying to kind

868
00:51:11.680 --> 00:51:16.160
of figure out how to focus it on your whole life because I was going to just focus it on our love

869
00:51:16.160 --> 00:51:23.360
lives. So a lot of us waste a lot of our time doing things we're not good at. And then we waste a lot

870
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:28.960
more time doing things that we're OK at. But actually, we should be having someone else do

871
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:35.840
that. You know, I know of somebody who, you know, is genius at business, like genius and very wealthy,

872
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:41.600
you guys, very wealthy and very, very smart. People pay them a lot of money to consult with

873
00:51:41.600 --> 00:51:50.640
them on business matters. OK, but they literally spent an entire weekend trying to figure out

874
00:51:51.200 --> 00:51:58.240
how to put something together at their house. And at the end of the weekend, they still hadn't

875
00:51:59.200 --> 00:52:06.960
done it like it still was, you know, not together. And, you know, it's like, hey, how much would it

876
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:11.040
have cost you to have the you know, the people that deliver this assemble it? Oh, you know,

877
00:52:11.040 --> 00:52:16.480
not much, you guys, a couple hundred bucks, which I want to make clear to you, they have they have

878
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:20.560
more than enough money to pay for that. And so it's like, why would you waste your time? And I

879
00:52:20.560 --> 00:52:25.360
know for some people like it's a challenge. But now, you know, for them, it wasn't like really,

880
00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:30.480
seriously, why did you waste your entire weekend doing this when you're so busy already and you

881
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:34.880
don't have a lot of free time? Why would you do this? And it was to save a couple bucks. You guys,

882
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:40.560
it doesn't make any sense. It's a poverty mentality. What is that? That is a set mark.

883
00:52:40.560 --> 00:52:48.080
That is a watermark. That is a glass ceiling, right? That's someplace where they're stuck.

884
00:52:48.080 --> 00:52:51.600
That just goes to show you that you can still you can have a lot of money and still have a

885
00:52:51.600 --> 00:52:57.600
poverty mindset. Someone else that have been paid to do that, we waste a lot of times doing

886
00:52:57.600 --> 00:53:03.120
things that we're not even good at. Some of you have jobs that you're not gifted at. You're not

887
00:53:03.120 --> 00:53:08.000
someone told you years ago that if you want a job that has consistency, and you're always going to

888
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:11.840
have a job and you don't have to worry about recession, it's recession proof. Go to medical

889
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:17.440
school and be a nurse. We always need nurses. But you don't like taking care of sick people.

890
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.880
You don't like you don't have that gift of compassion and hospitality like that. You don't

891
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:29.360
like it. Okay, you go because you want the money. And because yes, it's dependable. But you don't

892
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:34.000
like body fluids. You don't like doctors. You don't like hospitals. Why are you doing this with

893
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:42.240
your life? Why? Why? Money. That's why. And that's a bad reason. That's a bad reason. You can apply

894
00:53:42.240 --> 00:53:45.840
that to any of you that are doing things that you're really got to work it like a job. You have

895
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:49.440
to actually work it like a job. Do you know that the best job for you is a job that you don't have

896
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:55.200
to work like a job? Because it comes naturally to you. You're gifted at it and you like it. You roll

897
00:53:55.200 --> 00:53:59.360
out of bed in the morning excited to go to it because it's in your wheelhouse. That's what we

898
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:04.080
named our venue in Austin, Texas that's about to open. We named it wheelhouse because we want to

899
00:54:04.080 --> 00:54:08.880
help people find these very things. Because so many of us were not taken aside as children by

900
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:14.400
families and said, hey, what are you good at? Let's help you hone those gifts. You're doing

901
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:18.240
things you're not good at. You're doing things that you're okay at, but it's probably better

902
00:54:18.240 --> 00:54:22.160
for someone else to do those things. And then some of you have found some things that you're

903
00:54:22.160 --> 00:54:28.160
kind of good at. You're kind of good at it. You do it with excellence. You're good at it.

904
00:54:28.160 --> 00:54:33.840
But it doesn't fulfill you because it's not your calling. Yeah, you're good at it. I know people

905
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:38.640
that came out of the womb doing music and then people just assume that they should be doing that

906
00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:42.560
because they're just so naturally talented at it. But it's not really what fills their soul,

907
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:52.400
their heart. We got to find that thing, y'all. Gotta find that thing. That's our divine assignment.

908
00:54:53.040 --> 00:54:56.640
We want to be in the divine assignment. That's your sweet spot of your spiritual gifts and your

909
00:54:56.640 --> 00:54:57.840
life purpose.

910
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.840
It's where favor follows you.

911
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:10.360
Every time you step into a room that has something to do with that thing, whatever that thing

912
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:12.080
is, you just step into flow.

913
00:55:12.080 --> 00:55:13.400
You step into acceleration.

914
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:14.400
You step into favor.

915
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:15.400
That happens to me all the time.

916
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.920
I don't think you guys would need to look too far to see what my divine assignment is.

917
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:26.160
Okay, so let's ask a question to try to identify it.

918
00:55:26.160 --> 00:55:29.520
It's going to be hard in this short call.

919
00:55:29.520 --> 00:55:32.680
In fact, team, I want to do larger teaching on this.

920
00:55:32.680 --> 00:55:33.680
Let's dig into this.

921
00:55:33.680 --> 00:55:34.880
Let's help people.

922
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.720
And I want to focus it on their love lives too, because that's why they're here.

923
00:55:37.720 --> 00:55:44.760
So there's a whole nother teaching that I could do based on this with love life.

924
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:48.040
What's the one thing that you do, every one thing, close your eyes.

925
00:55:48.040 --> 00:55:52.600
What's the one thing that you do, doesn't matter what it is.

926
00:55:52.600 --> 00:55:54.160
I'm not talking about things you get paid for.

927
00:55:54.160 --> 00:55:56.640
I'm talking about things that you do.

928
00:55:56.640 --> 00:56:04.160
What's the one thing that you do that makes time disappear, increases your energy.

929
00:56:04.160 --> 00:56:07.200
You don't feel drained by it.

930
00:56:07.200 --> 00:56:10.960
You look up and you've been doing it for three hours and you didn't even notice because you

931
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:16.480
enjoy it so much.

932
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:22.120
Come on, let's see what it is.

933
00:56:22.120 --> 00:56:23.120
Look at that y'all.

934
00:56:23.120 --> 00:56:26.240
Do you see it?

935
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:30.840
And some of you think, oh, wow, this is just a hobby.

936
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:38.840
No, it's a clue to divine assignment because even if it's something you don't think you

937
00:56:38.840 --> 00:56:44.120
can make a living at for whatever reason, there's something connected to it that's similar

938
00:56:44.120 --> 00:56:50.240
enough to it that you could, does everyone understand?

939
00:56:50.240 --> 00:56:53.640
These are clues.

940
00:56:53.640 --> 00:57:08.200
These are little love post-it notes from heaven about your divine design.

941
00:57:08.200 --> 00:57:09.200
These are.

942
00:57:09.200 --> 00:57:12.200
We're going to go just a couple minutes over.

943
00:57:12.200 --> 00:57:17.120
I know we're at time, but I just want, I want to pray over you guys.

944
00:57:24.640 --> 00:57:25.640
Okay.

945
00:57:25.640 --> 00:57:28.520
I'm looking in the chat here.

946
00:57:28.520 --> 00:57:30.240
So someone put encouraging others.

947
00:57:30.240 --> 00:57:32.960
That's what, that's what, that's what their gift is.

948
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:33.960
Okay.

949
00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:35.720
There's lots of things that you could do.

950
00:57:35.720 --> 00:57:37.280
You could be a counselor.

951
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:38.360
You could be a therapist.

952
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:39.360
You could be a pastor.

953
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:41.320
You could be a ministry leader.

954
00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:44.620
Could be some kind of spiritual mentor, some, any kind of mentor.

955
00:57:44.620 --> 00:57:45.800
You could work in the high schools.

956
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:47.480
You could work in the guidance department.

957
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:53.000
You know, you can help encourage kids, you know, in college and high school.

958
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:57.640
You could be a teacher, right?

959
00:57:57.640 --> 00:57:58.640
Encouraging others.

960
00:57:58.640 --> 00:58:01.520
If you also liked encouraging people that are going through hard times, like with their

961
00:58:01.520 --> 00:58:03.480
health, you could be a nurse, you could be a healthcare worker.

962
00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:09.360
You could be a hospice care work, giver, care worker, care person.

963
00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:11.240
Let's see.

964
00:58:11.240 --> 00:58:12.240
Encouraging others.

965
00:58:12.240 --> 00:58:16.080
You could be a corporate trainer, HR specialist.

966
00:58:16.080 --> 00:58:20.480
You know, all those people like to encourage people in their gifts, in their callings,

967
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.480
in their careers.

968
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:26.720
Lots, of course, ministry types of jobs you could do.

969
00:58:26.720 --> 00:58:28.720
I used to, I went to school to be a social worker.

970
00:58:28.720 --> 00:58:30.400
I also like encouraging others.

971
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:31.400
You could be a social worker.

972
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:32.400
You know, okay.

973
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:33.400
It doesn't pay a lot, I will tell you.

974
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:34.400
But you could work at a non-profit.

975
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:38.400
You could work at a non-profit somehow.

976
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:46.520
These are all things that would, you could do if you had the gift of encouraging others.

977
00:58:46.520 --> 00:58:47.520
And then there's more.

978
00:58:47.560 --> 00:58:52.560
And then, of course, you could sit down and just brainstorm through more.

979
00:58:52.560 --> 00:58:58.560
So Father, we thank you, Lord, that you have not created us just to exist, that you've

980
00:58:58.560 --> 00:59:01.800
created us to thrive, not just survive.

981
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.840
And so Lord, not just in our love lives, but in our whole lives, we pray that you would

982
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:12.760
allow the truth and wisdom that's been spoken this morning to take root inside of us and

983
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:15.880
to begin to grow.

984
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:21.240
That we would not just leave this time together and just push it out of our mind and go on

985
00:59:21.240 --> 00:59:28.680
with our lives and stay stuck and never get past these barriers, never get past these

986
00:59:28.680 --> 00:59:31.960
watermarks, never get past, break through these glass ceilings.

987
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:34.080
Lord, it's time for us.

988
00:59:34.080 --> 00:59:39.000
We have to go forward so that those that are following after us can go forward as well.

989
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:45.600
Let us be the ones that break through these places for everyone in our lineage and legacy.

990
00:59:45.600 --> 00:59:50.440
Let us be the ones that are written down in the family history as the person that changed

991
00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:59.000
the course, that went further, that went farther, that instead of being below our potential,

992
00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.040
we rose to our potential.

993
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.040
potential and we set a different bar.

994
01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:05.040
So Lord, we just thank you.

995
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:07.320
We thank you that you're going to speak to us.

996
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:08.640
You're going to give us dreams and visions.

997
01:00:08.640 --> 01:00:11.400
You're going to give us desires that start to bubble up in our heart for things

998
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:14.640
that we have long time ago, put on the shelf.

999
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.320
Because there just wasn't enough time, but really that's not the truth.

1000
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:21.000
The truth was we were scared.

1001
01:00:21.640 --> 01:00:22.640
We were afraid.

1002
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:29.160
We put a self-imposed limit of success upon ourselves.

1003
01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:32.080
And now it's time for us to break through.

1004
01:00:32.560 --> 01:00:35.200
It's time for us to go further, to go farther.

1005
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:40.800
It's time for us to dust that thing off the shelf and to allow you in your grace

1006
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:43.200
to help us to accomplish it in Jesus name.

1007
01:00:43.200 --> 01:00:43.600
Amen.

1008
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.600
All right, friends, I feel like even though we didn't focus only on our love

1009
01:00:47.600 --> 01:00:51.920
lives, and I know that's why y'all are here, but we're here to make sure that

1010
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:54.320
you go to the next level in every area of your life.

1011
01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.360
And I promise you, some of these things are connected to your love story.

1012
01:00:58.080 --> 01:01:00.640
Some of these things that you're not doing, that you're not feeling, that

1013
01:01:00.640 --> 01:01:04.680
you're not thinking, the places that you're not going, they're connected to

1014
01:01:04.680 --> 01:01:05.480
your love story.

1015
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:09.760
So when we fan the flames of this, we'll actually fan the flames of your love

1016
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:10.440
story as well.

1017
01:01:10.520 --> 01:01:11.640
I believe that with all my heart.

1018
01:01:12.040 --> 01:01:12.360
All right.

1019
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:13.040
I love y'all.

1020
01:01:13.080 --> 01:01:13.800
Have a great one.

1021
01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:14.560
See you tomorrow night.
