1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.440
So, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.720
I am so glad that you guys are joining me.

3
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:08.720
If you are new here, welcome.

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.240
We're so glad that you are part of our supernatural community.

5
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.920
I just got to meet a bunch of ladies from our community in person here at a retreat

6
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:24.480
that I'm co-hosting in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and also known as 30A, that strip of interstate,

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.880
not interstate, but highway, 30A highway.

8
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.320
Santa Rosa Beach, Alice Beach, Rosemary Beach, Panama City, if you go towards the airport,

9
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.440
and Destin, of course.

10
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:41.640
And so, these ladies are lovely.

11
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.720
They're lovely, they're amazing, just like all of you.

12
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:49.600
There aren't any guys here, otherwise, I'd be saying that the guys are amazing, awesome

13
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.760
too, but I've been digging into a lot of the history of this program because they had a

14
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:57.760
lot of questions for me.

15
00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:01.760
And when people get with me in person, they have a lot of questions for me about how the

16
00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:05.319
program started and why did it start and all different types of things.

17
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.760
And so, we're going to dig into creating an impact today.

18
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:14.880
We're going to dig into some intentionality in our lives today here on Supernatural Saturday.

19
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:19.560
You guys, David Dorman was supposed to host this morning, but he is not going to be able

20
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.440
to host till next Saturday, which is good for all the people that are here because they

21
00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:26.920
would be missing it because right now they're having a worship session.

22
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.000
And so, they wouldn't be able to be on here anyway, so perfect timing for that, perfect

23
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.320
timing for that.

24
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:42.920
But in our discussions of the history of the program, we started talking about the fact

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.680
that this October 2025 will be our five-year anniversary.

26
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.160
Okay, you guys know that the program used to be called Married in 12 Months or Less.

27
00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:57.320
We pivoted about three years ago into last year's single, that being the branding.

28
00:01:57.320 --> 00:01:59.000
By the way, our trademark just came through.

29
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.080
It's now registered.

30
00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:07.200
Last year's single is It's Thing, which is exciting and it continues to expand.

31
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:13.480
We're in a massive expansion and everywhere we go, new people are hearing about us.

32
00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:15.560
They're coming to the program.

33
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.640
We have a live challenge next week.

34
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:20.000
Send your guy friends, send your girlfriends.

35
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.640
One of the things that we talked about last night, because I had a special session just

36
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:30.000
for the singles, is that we're going to have a celebration of grace, our five-year anniversary.

37
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.960
God has been so good to us.

38
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:38.320
We have helped over 1,600 people get married in the last five years and it's probably closer

39
00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:41.640
to 2,000, somewhere between 1,600 and 2,000.

40
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:43.920
We honestly just have last track.

41
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:52.680
I try to, every time I see someone post a success story, I try to save the picture and

42
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.920
send it over to our team so that they can put it in our files, but it's really difficult

43
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:02.040
because there's so many people that have been part of this program.

44
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.080
Sorry, there's a big truck going by.

45
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:12.080
This might not be the best place.

46
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.440
I might actually end up back in my room here.

47
00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:17.960
I was trying to sit outside, but we'll see.

48
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.280
Okay, so we're going to have a big celebration.

49
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.280
We're going to announce the details of that, but we're going to have an opportunity for

50
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.800
all of us to gather in person somewhere here in the States.

51
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.280
For those of you that are international, I know that's going to be harder for you, but

52
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.160
the majority of our clients and students are here in the States, and so we're going to

53
00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:40.280
go ahead and gather here and have a big party.

54
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:45.480
That's when I have a big party, a five-year anniversary party.

55
00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:54.480
So anyway, that's what we were talking about, and so I'm going to go ahead and see about

56
00:03:54.480 --> 00:03:55.480
going inside.

57
00:03:55.480 --> 00:03:57.760
You guys, so you wouldn't think this is a tiny little side street.

58
00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:02.040
You wouldn't think it'd be so loud here, but there's golf carts, and there's landscaping

59
00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:07.240
trucks, and every time you want to try to get alone with God, what happens?

60
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.240
There's a distraction.

61
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.680
Maybe that's a really good subject to just launch off of.

62
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.160
Every single time you have a good intention to get quiet, to get alone, to get intentional,

63
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:18.160
what happens?

64
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.160
There's a distraction.

65
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.320
There's a disruption, and sometimes we've got to press through that stuff.

66
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:28.000
I came here to have a nice, fun retreat, to co-host and help lead a fun retreat, and there's

67
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.440
been so much warfare.

68
00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:35.560
As soon as I got here, the second day that I was here, well, actually the first day after

69
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.960
the retreat started, because I was here a little bit early, I got some unsavory news

70
00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:46.520
back from back home, and it just kind of sucker-punched me.

71
00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:54.360
Anyone else been sucker-punched by some not-so-great news?

72
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.080
It's like the result of decisions people make and consequences that come from decisions.

73
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.100
and all the different things,

74
00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:03.520
and maybe it doesn't really even have anything

75
00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:04.360
to do with you.

76
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.480
Like, this didn't really have to do with me,

77
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.920
but it had to do with people that are close enough to me

78
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.280
that, you know, what's happening to them

79
00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:14.140
is gonna affect me, right?

80
00:05:16.640 --> 00:05:18.120
Some of us just really need to know that,

81
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.680
that, you know, the enemy is not going

82
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.520
to just come at you directly.

83
00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:25.560
Sometimes he comes at you indirectly, amen?

84
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.880
Sometimes he comes at you indirectly

85
00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:31.520
by, if he can't get you to fall, so to speak,

86
00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:32.940
you know, you to fall into sin,

87
00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:36.280
or you to make bad decisions with bad consequences,

88
00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:38.960
then he'll get someone else that's close to you

89
00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:41.100
to make bad decisions with bad consequences,

90
00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:45.320
because he knows that their fall

91
00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.800
is likely to affect you,

92
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.160
and maybe even cause you to fall in a certain aspect, right?

93
00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:54.200
And that's why the Bible says that,

94
00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:57.440
be careful, you know, if you think you're spiritual,

95
00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:01.400
lest you fall, right?

96
00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:02.920
It says that, and it's important,

97
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.480
because all of us can make mistakes

98
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.320
that have bad consequences.

99
00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:09.240
All of us can, and all of us do.

100
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.520
And so anyway, as soon as I got here, that's...

101
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.160
All right, I'm going to head back inside.

102
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.160
I'm going to go ahead and unmute myself.

103
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.560
You're muted, Jackie.

104
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.840
All right, I'm going to head back inside,

105
00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:45.040
because it's going to be too loud out there.

106
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.440
And I just said, sorry, friends,

107
00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:48.080
I just, you know, found out this morning

108
00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:50.480
that it was going to be necessary for me to lead this,

109
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:53.520
LACE, to do it, but we've done it before,

110
00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:55.520
and we will do it again, right?

111
00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:58.600
All right, so I want to talk to you guys

112
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.400
just a few minutes about intention.

113
00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:07.160
Last night, I had a gathering for the ladies that are here,

114
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.120
that are part of our Last Year Single program,

115
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.440
and we really took a look at people's intentions.

116
00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:15.640
We took a look at, you know, being intentional.

117
00:07:15.640 --> 00:07:18.160
A lot of people, once again, we say this a lot,

118
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.040
but a lot of people say that they want something,

119
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.760
and they just really are not being intentional

120
00:07:23.760 --> 00:07:24.720
about that thing.

121
00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:27.880
They're not being intentional about it.

122
00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:30.360
And so that's why they don't have it,

123
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.800
because when you want something, it requires intention.

124
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.840
And I'm not talking about, you know, good intentions.

125
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.360
I'm not talking about good intentions.

126
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.000
I'm talking about being intentional.

127
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.400
I'm talking about doing things with care,

128
00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:48.760
doing things with excellence,

129
00:07:48.760 --> 00:07:51.680
you know, doing things on purpose and not on accident.

130
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.640
It's really important that we understand that.

131
00:07:55.640 --> 00:07:58.040
Gotta do things on purpose, not on accident.

132
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.040
A lot of us will just be roaming through our lives,

133
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.560
and something good will happen to us,

134
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.880
but it won't happen to us as the result

135
00:08:03.880 --> 00:08:06.640
of any intentional action of our own.

136
00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:09.440
It'll just happen to us because it's serendipitous,

137
00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:10.720
a happy accident.

138
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.120
It'll happen to us because God is good all the time.

139
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.120
That is why it will happen,

140
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.560
but it will not happen as the result

141
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.800
of any type of purposeful action on our part.

142
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.200
And so I say that to say this,

143
00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:26.920
if God is so good that good things can happen to you

144
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.000
without you even putting in any elbow grease,

145
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.120
without you even, you know, participating, so to speak,

146
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:39.120
then how good does God wanna be to you through you?

147
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.039
Let that sink in for a second.

148
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.640
How good does God want to be to you through you?

149
00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:49.400
The Bible says,

150
00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:50.560
let it be done exceedingly abundantly

151
00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:52.000
above all we can ask, think, or imagine.

152
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.840
By what?

153
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.520
The power that works in us.

154
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.000
Doesn't it say that?

155
00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:02.040
So if we can have good things happen

156
00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:04.880
through no fault of our own,

157
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.320
no effort of our own,

158
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.920
then how many good things could we have happen to us

159
00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:14.280
if we partnered with God?

160
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.240
If we got intentional about our lives

161
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.480
and intentional about our lists

162
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.440
and intentional about the things that we desire,

163
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.160
the deepest desires of our hearts,

164
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:29.120
what would happen?

165
00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:34.720
I think that we would see a lot more breakthrough.

166
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.120
I do.

167
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.000
And the reason why people don't get intentional

168
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.760
is because first of all, we don't keep a schedule.

169
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:43.000
All right?

170
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.000
We're just doing what we have to do.

171
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.280
A lot of people get up and they do what they have to do.

172
00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:49.600
They have to put on clothes

173
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.640
because we're not allowed to be nakey in the world.

174
00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:53.480
Okay?

175
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.240
Can't walk out your house nakey.

176
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:56.800
So that's why they put on clothes.

177
00:09:56.800 --> 00:09:58.600
There are some people, believe it or not,

178
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.040
that if we didn't have to wear clothes,

179
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.640
they wouldn't. So this is something that they have to do. They have to put on clothes and then they

180
00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:12.800
have to go to some sort of thing that they go to that gives them in a return for their time

181
00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:17.120
and energy and effort gives them money to live on. Let's call it a job.

182
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.840
Right? There's other people that have to go take care of other people.

183
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.800
They're caretakers of some sort. Maybe they're not getting paid for it. Maybe it's their elderly

184
00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:32.720
parents. Maybe it's their grandchildren. Maybe it's their children. Got to get up every day

185
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.680
and you got to be a mom. You got to be a dad. You got to do those things. Now I know we get

186
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:42.240
to do those things and those things are a blessing. But for the purpose of this conversation,

187
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:48.000
we're talking about the things that we get up and do because we really do have to do them.

188
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.360
Because if we don't do them, who else is going to do them?

189
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:57.440
We got to clean up our space. We got to take out the garbage. We got to do the things.

190
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:03.120
And so, yeah, maybe that's part of your to-do list. But how many things on your to-do list

191
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.600
really have to do with your dreams, with God's vision for your life? How many things on your

192
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.760
everyday schedule have to do with you partnering with the promise?

193
00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:23.520
I was telling the ladies here on this retreat that every single person that I have ever seen

194
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:31.040
get really intentional about this dream and this vision in their life of family

195
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:35.920
and marriage and partnership. I've seen every one of those people have it.

196
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.360
What happens is that we don't get intentional about things because we aren't really sure that

197
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:51.680
that is what we want, perhaps. I know that these are deep, deep things in the deep unconscious.

198
00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:59.040
But no, Jackie, I want it. Do you? Do you want it? Because I've run into plenty of people

199
00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:03.920
who deep down inside, if they were really getting honest, they weren't really sure they wanted it.

200
00:12:03.920 --> 00:12:08.400
They thought they were supposed to want it because, like, what else do you do with your life?

201
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.200
If you don't get married, you don't have kids or, you know, you don't, even if you're, you know,

202
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.560
older and you're not going to be having kids, if you don't get married, if you don't partner,

203
00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:19.680
then they'd say things like, well, you know, who am I going to be with when I'm old?

204
00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:23.760
Who's going to take care of me if I'm old or sick or this or that? You guys,

205
00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.040
that's not a good enough reason. It's not a good enough reason. So I want you to take a

206
00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:34.000
couple seconds right now and we're going to just pray. Holy Spirit, deep calls to deep.

207
00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:39.040
Guys, we're gonna do a lot of activations this morning, right? Because we want to get free and

208
00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:44.640
want to get moving forward. So Holy Spirit, deep calls to deep. We're asking that everything from

209
00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:50.960
the unconscious realm, from the hidden realm would come up to the conscious realm,

210
00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:56.080
to the understood realm. And we're praying right now that you would show us

211
00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:05.440
what is behind our lack of intention, specifically in the area of relationship.

212
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:12.160
And so right now, I want you to take a few minutes, close your eyes and really ask yourself,

213
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:20.640
really ask yourself, is this what I really want? Or is it what I think I'm supposed to want?

214
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.880
Maybe I really love my single life. Maybe I'm really happy. And I don't really have to worry

215
00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:32.240
about what's going to happen five years or 10 years from now, because I'm content where I am

216
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.800
in life. And I know that God's going to continue to put people in my life that are going to be

217
00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:43.680
with me in life and through life, regardless of whether I get married or not. That might be some

218
00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:47.520
of you. And that's okay. We're not going to kick you out of this program if that's you. I just want

219
00:13:47.520 --> 00:13:54.320
you to know that. But it's important for us to get behind, get, you know, get beyond, get down

220
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:01.040
to the root of where our intentions are. So take some few minutes. And then if you're one of the

221
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:06.480
people like, no, no, I'm pretty sure. I'm really sure. I'm sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm really sure.

222
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:12.560
I'm sure that I'm here because I really, really, really, really want this. Okay. I really want

223
00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:19.280
this. Then I want you to write down why. I want to see why you want it. Write down at least three

224
00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:27.680
reasons why you want it. And none of it can be so I don't die alone. Okay. That's not a reason.

225
00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:33.680
All right, friends, go ahead and take a couple minutes to do this.

226
00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:53.840
You don't need to know what it looks like, you guys. It's not important.

227
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:59.520
Why do you want it? That's the question. Not what does it look like? Why do you want it?

228
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.060
you

229
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.280
okay if you guys are done go ahead and start putting your number one reason on

230
00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:39.920
in the chat let's see it

231
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.060
you

232
00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:11.200
you guys I don't want to see because God wants it for me I don't want to see

233
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.280
because it's my calling I want to see why do you want it not just why does God

234
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:20.360
want it God created marriage it's the very first thing that he did in the

235
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:25.680
garden okay we already know that he wants it why do you want it

236
00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:31.480
you gotta get clear on this you have to get clear you cannot move with intention

237
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:36.920
if you're not clear I know that I want to lose 25 pounds and I know the reasons

238
00:16:36.920 --> 00:16:41.920
why I want to lose it it has to do with my blood sugar it has to do with my

239
00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:46.080
blood pressure it has to do with my BMI it has to do with most diseases are

240
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:51.120
caused by high BMI it has to do with the way that I feel when I walk the pain in

241
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.760
my joints and my hips it has to do with inflammation I have specific reasons

242
00:16:55.760 --> 00:17:05.119
behind my intentional plan to get my hormones balanced and get healthy

243
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.160
what is your why

244
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.119
you

245
00:17:51.120 --> 00:18:18.240
will be. If I was going to title today, it would be what is your why? Anytime that you

246
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:24.500
start a job, specifically a sales job, they will make sure that you come up with a why.

247
00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:29.840
Because you can't just sell people stuff to sell people stuff. You can't. There has to

248
00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:37.480
be a why behind what you're doing. Why do you think this product is great? Why should

249
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:44.160
other people buy it? What is your why? Multi-level marketing, if you get involved with selling

250
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:51.680
a specific product that has quote-unquote changed your life, they make you come up with

251
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.440
your why. Your little elevator pitch that you can say to other people when you're telling

252
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.200
them about this product and why they should get it by sharing why it has been a game changer

253
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:13.560
for you. So I need you guys to really dig into your why. And I need you to be really,

254
00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:19.280
for lack of a better word, intentional about digging into your why. And this is why. This

255
00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:24.560
is why. Because without a why, you're really not going to do anything. It has to be a strong

256
00:19:24.560 --> 00:19:31.280
why. I already told you my why in wanting to lose this weight, balance my hormones,

257
00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:35.560
really just balance my hormones because that weight will be a byproduct of that. Because

258
00:19:35.560 --> 00:19:44.040
it's inflammation. Why do I want to do that? I told you. It's a strong why. It's a why

259
00:19:44.040 --> 00:19:49.560
that gets me up every day and motivates me. It's a why when my hormones are out of balance

260
00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:54.880
and I'm having sugar crashes or cravings, it's a food slapper that slaps food out of

261
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:59.080
my hand. That's my why. That's what the why does. It comes and goes.

262
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.340
Knocks that donut out of my hand.

263
00:20:04.340 --> 00:20:06.100
I'm not a donut eater, but David Dorman is,

264
00:20:06.100 --> 00:20:08.180
so I'll just use donuts as an example.

265
00:20:10.040 --> 00:20:11.280
It knocks it out.

266
00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:14.000
No, friends, it's not gonna knock the matcha out of my hands

267
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.600
for those of you that follow me on Instagram,

268
00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:19.480
because I don't put sugar in my matcha, and it's good.

269
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.140
It's the one thing that I live for.

270
00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:22.440
I wake up every day and say,

271
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.920
I get to have a matcha today.

272
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.300
So excited.

273
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:29.240
And I'm so sad after I'm done drinking it,

274
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.840
because I realize I can't have another one

275
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:32.840
until the next day.

276
00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:35.680
I'm like, oh, I love you, matcha.

277
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:37.160
And some of you are like that with your coffee,

278
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.240
so don't be pointing fingers at me.

279
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.320
All right, so let's go back to the word intention.

280
00:20:41.320 --> 00:20:45.500
So intention implies action and outcome, friends.

281
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.280
Action and outcome.

282
00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:52.480
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

283
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.760
This is the law, correct?

284
00:20:55.760 --> 00:20:59.360
And that means that you cannot have intentional action

285
00:20:59.360 --> 00:21:03.300
towards something without that bearing fruit.

286
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.320
You can't.

287
00:21:06.320 --> 00:21:07.280
And so for those of you

288
00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:09.280
that have been having intentional action,

289
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:12.360
I really wanna encourage you and help you get excited

290
00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:14.080
that that action is gonna pay off.

291
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.120
That action is going to pay off.

292
00:21:19.120 --> 00:21:22.080
It is, if you don't quit.

293
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:23.400
Isn't that what the scripture says?

294
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.240
If you're not weary in doing what you know

295
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.200
is the right thing to do.

296
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:30.840
And sometimes you get more information and you realize,

297
00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:32.400
oh, I'm not doing this the right way.

298
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.760
I need to do it this way.

299
00:21:33.760 --> 00:21:34.800
That's fine.

300
00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:37.320
As long as you're walking in all the information,

301
00:21:37.320 --> 00:21:38.900
all the wisdom, all the light that you know,

302
00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:40.120
that's all that matters.

303
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.200
That's all that matters.

304
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.420
God can bless that.

305
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.320
He knows what you know.

306
00:21:47.320 --> 00:21:48.920
He knows what you don't know.

307
00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.560
Okay, and he knows that you're doing your best.

308
00:21:52.600 --> 00:21:55.360
So it says, if you don't become weary

309
00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:56.760
in doing the right thing,

310
00:21:56.760 --> 00:21:58.600
you will reap if you don't give up.

311
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:00.120
That's what the scripture says.

312
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.760
And that's an everything friends,

313
00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:06.720
not just in your love lives, that's an everything.

314
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.360
But this is what really happens.

315
00:22:08.360 --> 00:22:10.040
If we're being honest with ourselves,

316
00:22:10.040 --> 00:22:11.920
we do get weary and we do give up.

317
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.520
And then we kind of, all right, I'll try again.

318
00:22:16.520 --> 00:22:18.400
And then we try again, kind of half-heartedly

319
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.600
and we do it for a few minutes.

320
00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:22.360
And when there's no noticeable change, we give up again.

321
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.520
Come on, we know we do this.

322
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.040
We know we do this.

323
00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:30.920
We start eating healthy, we start exercising.

324
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:32.480
And then, you know, we get on the scale

325
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.340
and if we haven't lost 30 pounds in a week,

326
00:22:34.340 --> 00:22:35.400
we're like, I'm done.

327
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.440
I'm done.

328
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:41.300
This, no, this is what we say, this doesn't work.

329
00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:46.280
Yeah, if I'm lying, I'm dying, y'all.

330
00:22:46.280 --> 00:22:48.040
You know, it's true.

331
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.440
This doesn't work.

332
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.280
We're having a problem and a well-meaning friend says,

333
00:22:53.280 --> 00:22:56.440
oh, hey, have you tried such and such supplement?

334
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:58.960
And we're like, no, tell me more.

335
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:01.080
And then they tell us more.

336
00:23:01.080 --> 00:23:03.560
And we're like, oh, okay, I'm gonna try that.

337
00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:06.920
And so we buy it and we try it for like two days

338
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:10.080
and it doesn't do anything and then we stop using it.

339
00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:11.560
And we see that friend again, they're like,

340
00:23:11.560 --> 00:23:13.840
oh, hey, how are you feeling?

341
00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:15.320
Oh, yeah, I still feel like crap.

342
00:23:15.320 --> 00:23:17.240
Oh, well, did you get such and such?

343
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.240
Yeah, oh, and then we say this, it didn't work for me.

344
00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:27.880
You guys, you know this is true.

345
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.880
I want you to examine your own hearts right now

346
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:31.340
because we know this is true.

347
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.760
We might feel something in prayer

348
00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:38.060
or we might feel like we need to do something.

349
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:44.640
Like I gave a kind of a clarion call the other day

350
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:47.880
on Supernatural Saturday about,

351
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.080
hey, lay in bed and just pray the word over yourself.

352
00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:52.400
Or if you have your prayer language,

353
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.080
just pray in your prayer language

354
00:23:54.080 --> 00:23:56.680
just for a few minutes before you get out of bed.

355
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:57.520
Let's just do that.

356
00:23:57.520 --> 00:24:00.560
Let's activate ourselves spiritually before we get up.

357
00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:02.320
And people are like, yeah, that sounds great.

358
00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:03.680
Well, we're only like two weeks in.

359
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.080
Raise your hand if you're still doing that every day.

360
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.220
Some of y'all never did it ever.

361
00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:14.420
Anyway, we have a couple people hanging on.

362
00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:19.520
And you guys, we have good intentions, right?

363
00:24:20.860 --> 00:24:22.260
We have good intentions.

364
00:24:22.260 --> 00:24:23.900
Like we're like, yes, I'm gonna do that.

365
00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:26.300
But the problem is, is that we need to switch

366
00:24:26.300 --> 00:24:31.300
from good intentions to being intentional.

367
00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:35.100
Action based on outcome.

368
00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:37.160
Action that's based on an outcome.

369
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.580
We have to become process people.

370
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.080
Listen to me, you guys, we have to become process people.

371
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:47.640
We are product people.

372
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.760
Let me tell you what that means.

373
00:24:48.760 --> 00:24:52.600
That means that we are focused on what happens,

374
00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:55.560
the fruit of intention.

375
00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:57.720
The fruit of an intentional life.

376
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.840
We want that thing.

377
00:24:58.840 --> 00:24:59.840
We're focused on that.

378
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.320
Future focus, we want that thing.

379
00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:05.520
For all of you, it's to find an amazing partner

380
00:25:05.520 --> 00:25:07.400
to share your life with and to be married.

381
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.020
We're focused on that thing.

382
00:25:09.020 --> 00:25:12.000
But all the way up to that thing, there's a process.

383
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.960
All the way up to a healthy body, there's a process.

384
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.720
All the way up to a vibrant spiritual life,

385
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.000
there's a process.

386
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.960
And we have to, please hear me,

387
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.620
we have to become process people.

388
00:25:25.620 --> 00:25:30.620
We have to become process people, not product people.

389
00:25:32.060 --> 00:25:35.260
The product will come, but the process has to come first.

390
00:25:35.260 --> 00:25:37.980
We can't get the cart before the horse.

391
00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:39.280
The horse before the cart.

392
00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:43.260
Can't get the horse before the cart.

393
00:25:43.260 --> 00:25:45.780
We gotta get the cart before the horse.

394
00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:48.920
Wait, whatever that saying is, y'all.

395
00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:53.520
Can't get the cart before the horse.

396
00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:54.860
I said it right the first time.

397
00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:57.260
We can't, gotta get the horse before the cart.

398
00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.300
We have to.

399
00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:06.260
Now, I want you to think really honestly,

400
00:26:06.260 --> 00:26:07.900
be honest with yourself.

401
00:26:08.820 --> 00:26:10.580
Be really, really honest with yourself

402
00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:14.420
about the areas of your life

403
00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:16.340
where you're living unintentionally.

404
00:26:20.280 --> 00:26:21.780
You're living unintentionally.

405
00:26:22.780 --> 00:26:25.380
You don't have a plan, you don't have structure,

406
00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:26.740
you don't have a schedule.

407
00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:28.460
I know all of you personalities like me

408
00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:30.660
that are really spontaneous, you're fun personalities,

409
00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:33.180
you wanna fly by the seat of your pants, that's great.

410
00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:34.060
That's great.

411
00:26:34.060 --> 00:26:38.260
And you can do that in some parts of your life.

412
00:26:38.260 --> 00:26:39.340
But in the parts of your life

413
00:26:39.340 --> 00:26:41.140
where you wanna see a specific product,

414
00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:43.900
you have to submit to a process.

415
00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:46.100
You must submit to a process.

416
00:26:47.600 --> 00:26:49.220
You have to.

417
00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.420
And I know you don't like that

418
00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:52.340
because that makes you feel controlled.

419
00:26:52.340 --> 00:26:53.940
It makes you feel boxed in.

420
00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:56.940
But I'm telling you, friend, from my own experience,

421
00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:59.300
you will not see fruit,

422
00:26:59.300 --> 00:27:02.700
you will not see the breakthrough that you're looking for

423
00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:07.700
if you do not begin to be very intentional

424
00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:11.680
about a process.

425
00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:18.780
And we'll unpack this.

426
00:27:19.780 --> 00:27:22.380
We'll dig deeper into this tomorrow

427
00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:24.220
where what could that look like?

428
00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:26.140
Here's the thing that I wanna accomplish.

429
00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:28.340
What could my process look like?

430
00:27:28.340 --> 00:27:30.620
What could my structure look like?

431
00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:34.380
What does it look like to be intentional with this?

432
00:27:36.860 --> 00:27:38.340
And I know it's not really romantic

433
00:27:38.340 --> 00:27:40.860
to think about this in your love life.

434
00:27:40.860 --> 00:27:42.940
It's very unromantic, right,

435
00:27:42.940 --> 00:27:45.180
to think about this in your love life.

436
00:27:45.380 --> 00:27:48.900
It's like, oh, gosh, that takes all the romance

437
00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:53.700
out of the meet cute of someone just showing up in my life.

438
00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:55.900
And I heard that today from one of the ladies

439
00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:57.220
that's not single at this retreat,

440
00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:59.580
because once again, this is not a singles retreat.

441
00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:01.540
He said, oh, yeah, I have a lot of girlfriends

442
00:28:01.540 --> 00:28:03.980
that think that their guy's just gonna roll up at church

443
00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:04.940
and they're just waiting for them

444
00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:06.820
to just roll up at church one day.

445
00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:09.160
And a lot of you do secretly believe that,

446
00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:12.100
that you're just gonna happen upon them.

447
00:28:13.100 --> 00:28:14.580
You're just gonna, you know,

448
00:28:14.580 --> 00:28:15.820
they're just gonna roll up at church one day.

449
00:28:15.820 --> 00:28:17.460
You're just waiting, you're waiting.

450
00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:19.140
Even though we say get out of the waiting room,

451
00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:20.320
you are waiting.

452
00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:23.940
And of course, there's a fine line

453
00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:27.500
between working something like a job and trusting the Lord.

454
00:28:28.340 --> 00:28:29.540
We know all that's true.

455
00:28:31.320 --> 00:28:34.300
There's a fine line between those two things.

456
00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:36.020
There are some of you that are on the,

457
00:28:36.020 --> 00:28:38.100
you're on the other side of this.

458
00:28:39.980 --> 00:28:41.020
You're on the other side of this.

459
00:28:41.020 --> 00:28:45.220
You literally are very controlled, very structured.

460
00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:48.200
You got spreadsheets for your dates, right?

461
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.500
We know you, we know that you exist.

462
00:28:55.020 --> 00:28:56.580
And of course, there needs to be a little bit

463
00:28:56.580 --> 00:29:00.220
of spontaneity in your process.

464
00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:02.120
Because process doesn't have to be rigid.

465
00:29:02.120 --> 00:29:06.440
It can be spontaneous, but you have to make room for it.

466
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.060
You have to make room for spontaneity.

467
00:29:08.060 --> 00:29:09.500
I know that sounds weird.

468
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:11.380
It's like, well, the whole purpose of spontaneity

469
00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:13.220
is that it just kind of comes out of nowhere.

470
00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:14.160
That's not true.

471
00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.460
You can make room for fun.

472
00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:18.820
You can make room for being spontaneous.

473
00:29:18.820 --> 00:29:22.840
You can have chunks of time in your schedule

474
00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:25.560
where you can just do whatever you feel like doing.

475
00:29:25.560 --> 00:29:27.160
We call it free time, don't we?

476
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:30.620
We call it free time.

477
00:29:30.620 --> 00:29:33.500
The problem is some of y'all, all you have is free time.

478
00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:36.140
There's no structure.

479
00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:37.780
No structure to your life.

480
00:29:37.780 --> 00:29:39.920
And because there's no structure to your life,

481
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.380
you're not seeing any of the fruit

482
00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:44.240
of being an intentional person.

483
00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.940
I've lost six pounds.

484
00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:51.140
That took intention.

485
00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.740
I had to work the plan.

486
00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:57.380
I had to make the plan, and then I had to work the plan.

487
00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:59.020
And even when I didn't want to work the plan,

488
00:29:59.020 --> 00:30:01.020
even when it didn't seem like the plan,

489
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.240
plan was working, I still had to work it.

490
00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:10.440
I still had to work it.

491
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:16.480
So friends, first step is, is we have to really get honest

492
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:21.480
about what do I want, and David Dorman's gonna get you guys

493
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.560
on this, in this season.

494
00:30:25.560 --> 00:30:28.320
In fact, you know what we're gonna do?

495
00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:31.640
He didn't do Supernatural Saturday, but he's gonna do

496
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:35.140
what do you want, and he's gonna do that tomorrow night

497
00:30:35.140 --> 00:30:35.980
on Sunday night.

498
00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:40.000
So we've got, because that was his topic, okay?

499
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.920
So what do you want?

500
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.160
You gotta get intentional, what do I want?

501
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.120
What do I want?

502
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.640
And then based on what you want, you're gonna prioritize

503
00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:55.000
the things that you want the most,

504
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:57.540
and you're not gonna say stupid stuff like,

505
00:30:57.540 --> 00:30:59.540
well, yeah, but it's not my time for that.

506
00:30:59.540 --> 00:31:01.500
You guys, stop it.

507
00:31:06.820 --> 00:31:09.740
It may seem a little counterintuitive because,

508
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.860
you know, you got a lot of stuff going on in your life,

509
00:31:13.860 --> 00:31:16.120
or you think that things need to look a certain way

510
00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:18.940
before you can have certain things, forget about that.

511
00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:21.140
Just forget about it, just ask yourself the question,

512
00:31:21.140 --> 00:31:22.140
what do I want?

513
00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:26.260
And David will help you kind of dig through those thoughts

514
00:31:26.260 --> 00:31:28.100
tomorrow night, okay?

515
00:31:28.100 --> 00:31:29.660
All right, so what do I want?

516
00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:33.300
And then based on what you want, you're gonna make a plan.

517
00:31:33.300 --> 00:31:36.220
And then based on that plan, you're gonna work that plan.

518
00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:38.140
And even when you don't wanna work that plan,

519
00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:40.760
you're going to be consistent.

520
00:31:40.760 --> 00:31:42.500
Say the word consistent.

521
00:31:47.260 --> 00:31:48.960
Consistent, friends.

522
00:31:52.020 --> 00:31:54.640
We have to be consistent people.

523
00:31:57.260 --> 00:31:59.920
We have to be consistent people.

524
00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:08.080
Acting or done in the same way over time.

525
00:32:11.260 --> 00:32:15.940
Unchanging in nature, standard, the standard.

526
00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:17.580
I'm just reading the definitions for you guys

527
00:32:17.580 --> 00:32:21.100
so you can really hear what that means.

528
00:32:21.100 --> 00:32:26.020
Consistent, standing firm, standing firm.

529
00:32:26.780 --> 00:32:31.780
Consistent, okay, I just looked it up on Google.

530
00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:38.420
Unchanging, standing firm, day after day after day

531
00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:42.900
after day after day after day after day.

532
00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:50.340
And then what starts to happen?

533
00:32:50.340 --> 00:32:54.380
You start to have breakthrough, you start to see change.

534
00:32:55.260 --> 00:32:57.220
And a lot of times we really lie to ourselves

535
00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:59.720
and we tell ourselves that something's not working.

536
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.320
We tell ourselves that something's not possible.

537
00:33:05.060 --> 00:33:08.980
We give up hope because we're not seeing something happening

538
00:33:08.980 --> 00:33:10.460
in some area of our life.

539
00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:13.460
But if we're really honest with ourselves,

540
00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:16.920
like really, really honest, we'll look and we'll see

541
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.500
that we haven't been consistent.

542
00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:22.180
We haven't been intentional.

543
00:33:23.180 --> 00:33:26.660
We've had little spurts, little spurts.

544
00:33:29.260 --> 00:33:31.380
And then once again, when things don't work out

545
00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:33.460
the way that we want them to,

546
00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:37.460
we start doing the old behavior again, right?

547
00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:44.100
We start doing the old behavior again.

548
00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:46.340
So Father, we're just asking you, Lord,

549
00:33:46.340 --> 00:33:48.180
we know that you're not holding out on us.

550
00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:50.820
That's the lie at the root of all of this,

551
00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:53.140
that somehow you're not giving us the things

552
00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:56.940
that our hearts desire, that you're holding out on us,

553
00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:58.300
that you're keeping it from us,

554
00:33:58.300 --> 00:34:00.380
that we're not ready for it yet,

555
00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:05.340
that something is making us wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

556
00:34:08.620 --> 00:34:13.620
When in reality, we are not apprehending the promise.

557
00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:17.080
And so Lord, I'm praying that you would give us a grace

558
00:34:17.080 --> 00:34:19.179
right now that we would shift our thinking,

559
00:34:20.020 --> 00:34:22.060
that we would shift our thinking.

560
00:34:23.179 --> 00:34:25.420
You're not holding out on us.

561
00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:28.020
Everything that you have for us is yes and amen.

562
00:34:28.020 --> 00:34:31.020
And we can start walking towards those things.

563
00:34:31.020 --> 00:34:33.179
Friends, if you go to and you sit in a waiting room,

564
00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:35.139
it's very boring, okay?

565
00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:38.260
It seems like the wait is forever and ever and ever

566
00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:40.179
and ever and ever, please hear me,

567
00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:41.580
Holy Spirit's talking to you.

568
00:34:43.219 --> 00:34:45.020
You go and you sit down and you're just waiting

569
00:34:45.020 --> 00:34:48.699
for someone to buzz the pager that they gave you,

570
00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:50.739
call the number that they gave you.

571
00:34:50.739 --> 00:34:55.739
It can become very monotonous and very discouraging, okay?

572
00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:57.660
But there's this new thing that they do now.

573
00:34:57.660 --> 00:34:59.140
You get on a waiting list.

574
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.240
for your turn and they just take your phone number and they're like hey, we'll text you when it's time and

575
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:12.400
What is that allowing you to do? It's allowing you to go do something else besides just sit idly and wait

576
00:35:14.560 --> 00:35:16.560
It's allowing you to

577
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:22.080
Stay busy doing something else and what happens when you're busy doing something else

578
00:35:22.080 --> 00:35:24.420
It doesn't seem like there's a long wait anymore. Does it?

579
00:35:24.460 --> 00:35:30.660
When you get to go off and do other errands or other things nearby that you needed to get done

580
00:35:30.660 --> 00:35:37.700
Then it doesn't even feel like you waited at all because before you know it your pagers going off or the text messages coming in

581
00:35:37.700 --> 00:35:42.260
And it's saying hey, it's your turn. It's your time your table's ready

582
00:35:43.540 --> 00:35:48.580
Your package is ready. Your this is ready. Your that is ready. Your food is ready

583
00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:54.380
Right, so you're not just sitting there waiting. You're waiting for your food to come in

584
00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:57.260
and

585
00:35:57.380 --> 00:36:00.340
That is what it looks like for the word wait in the Bible

586
00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:04.260
God doesn't expect you to go and sit down

587
00:36:05.100 --> 00:36:09.740
Until he just feels one day like giving you what it is that you've been praying for you guys

588
00:36:09.740 --> 00:36:11.900
That's not what God's like and that's not the way it works

589
00:36:13.620 --> 00:36:18.620
What he wants you to do is he wants you to believe and receive you realize the moment that you pray

590
00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:22.060
The Bible says if you believe that you will have it you have it

591
00:36:22.540 --> 00:36:26.980
It says the moment that you pray if you believe it you have it

592
00:36:27.580 --> 00:36:32.020
Now I know that we don't think we have it until it's in our hot little hands and we can touch it and feel it

593
00:36:32.020 --> 00:36:33.980
And taste it and smell it

594
00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:38.540
But we have to receive it by faith you guys this entire life is receiving by faith. You know that right?

595
00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:46.820
Some of you prayed for the gift of your prayer language a few weeks ago when we celebrated Pentecost here and

596
00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:48.980
It hasn't happened yet

597
00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:54.540
but you did receive it that night that you asked for it because God is the giver of good and perfect gifts all good and

598
00:36:54.540 --> 00:36:56.540
Perfect gifts come down from the Father of lights

599
00:36:56.900 --> 00:37:01.820
If we ask we will receive if we seek we will find if we knock the door will be opened

600
00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:04.940
It doesn't say sometimes

601
00:37:05.100 --> 00:37:12.300
Why because God's a consistent God God's an intentional God. Whoa, come on. God's a consistent God. He's an intentional God

602
00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:15.540
He doesn't just say things to say things if he says that he does it

603
00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:20.180
And that's where the faith walk comes in people are like, well, I don't understand

604
00:37:21.940 --> 00:37:23.940
What do you mean you don't understand

605
00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:30.220
This entire life with God is based on faith

606
00:37:32.140 --> 00:37:32.940
You're like well

607
00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:34.940
It feels like lying to say that you know

608
00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:40.540
I prayed and I asked for something and into it and to say that I have it why that's what the Bible says

609
00:37:40.660 --> 00:37:42.660
The Bible says you have it

610
00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:45.300
The Bible says you have it

611
00:37:45.300 --> 00:37:50.300
Now I understand that it hasn't manifested in the natural realm where you can see it taste it smell it touch it

612
00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:56.600
But the Bible says you have it if you believe you have it you have it and can someone tell me what happens?

613
00:37:56.660 --> 00:37:58.740
When you believe that you have something

614
00:38:00.100 --> 00:38:02.300
It changes what you do, doesn't it?

615
00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:07.860
Does it change what you do

616
00:38:08.180 --> 00:38:10.180
You

617
00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:14.820
Let's apply this to the subject at hand our love lives

618
00:38:15.140 --> 00:38:20.200
if I asked the Lord for a good husband or a good wife if I asked the Lord for a partner if I got

619
00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:24.500
Intentional about why I needed a partner and I went to the Lord and said hey God

620
00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:28.180
I've really been thinking about this and these are the reasons why I need to be partnered

621
00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:35.180
Here are the things that I know about myself as I've prayed and asked for more identity

622
00:38:35.180 --> 00:38:41.820
Here are the things that I know from the prophetic words that you've given me. This is why I need to be partnered and

623
00:38:42.340 --> 00:38:44.340
I'm going to be intentionally

624
00:38:45.060 --> 00:38:51.420
Putting myself out there doing the things hiring a coach which you guys are here with me in this program and our coaching team

625
00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:55.460
I'm gonna do what I can do and then God I'm expecting what you can do. This is what happens

626
00:38:56.180 --> 00:39:01.540
When you don't just say it, but you receive it. You don't just say it, but you believe it and

627
00:39:02.100 --> 00:39:07.020
You've received it by faith, you know what happens you don't you don't go out and

628
00:39:07.860 --> 00:39:11.940
Mess your life up by getting involved with someone who's not a Christ follower

629
00:39:13.180 --> 00:39:15.900
You know why because you believe that you have a husband or wife

630
00:39:17.180 --> 00:39:20.460
In fact for all intensive purposes, you're already kind of married

631
00:39:24.460 --> 00:39:29.900
Some derelict comes up to you. Can I buy you a drink? No. Sorry, sir. I'm married

632
00:39:32.540 --> 00:39:34.540
You

633
00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:36.780
What

634
00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:40.580
Did you did you ask for it, did you believe it did you receive it?

635
00:39:51.260 --> 00:39:53.260
There's something that you want to do

636
00:39:55.060 --> 00:39:57.740
And it's only on a specific day and

637
00:39:58.500 --> 00:40:00.500
You've asked God to allow you

638
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.520
you to do this thing, you wanna do this class,

639
00:40:02.520 --> 00:40:04.320
you wanna go to this school,

640
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:06.960
you wanna do whatever it is, I don't care what it is.

641
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:10.360
And then your job comes to you and says,

642
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:13.400
oh, hey, you know, we have some overtime,

643
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:15.080
would you like to work on Wednesday nights?

644
00:40:15.080 --> 00:40:16.800
And you know that that's the day

645
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:19.640
that you want to take that class.

646
00:40:19.640 --> 00:40:21.280
You haven't been able to get into it yet,

647
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:22.600
but you asked for it.

648
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.600
You asked God and you believed and you received.

649
00:40:27.600 --> 00:40:31.160
You're not gonna take that overtime on Wednesday night.

650
00:40:31.160 --> 00:40:32.720
So you answer and say, oh no, I'm sorry,

651
00:40:32.720 --> 00:40:34.160
I'm taking a class on Wednesday night.

652
00:40:34.160 --> 00:40:35.800
But you're like, but Jackie, I'm not taking it yet.

653
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.640
Aren't you?

654
00:40:38.240 --> 00:40:39.080
Aren't you?

655
00:40:39.080 --> 00:40:39.960
Because you asked for it.

656
00:40:41.720 --> 00:40:43.240
God makes space for that.

657
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:47.200
Because you believed it and now you have to receive it.

658
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.640
You guys know that we receive everything

659
00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:56.840
supernaturally first before we receive it naturally, right?

660
00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:59.760
We receive it by faith.

661
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:03.800
The Bible says we walk by faith and not by sight.

662
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:06.840
It says without faith, it is impossible to please God

663
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:08.840
because you have to believe that he is

664
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:10.640
and that he is a rewarder of those

665
00:41:10.640 --> 00:41:12.040
that diligently seek him.

666
00:41:17.640 --> 00:41:20.120
But what happens instead is we ask

667
00:41:20.120 --> 00:41:23.760
and we don't receive in the natural, in the manifestation.

668
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:25.120
We don't receive it yet.

669
00:41:25.120 --> 00:41:28.000
And so we go out and just do anything else that we want

670
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:29.680
and then we come and we ask again.

671
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:32.800
And then we go out and just do whatever we want

672
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.200
when it doesn't happen and then we ask again.

673
00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:37.480
And then we go and we date a couple,

674
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:41.920
cold dead beating two time and double dealing,

675
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:43.480
mean mistreating, loving hearts.

676
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:45.160
And then we come and we ask again.

677
00:41:47.680 --> 00:41:48.720
Oh guys, it's true.

678
00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:50.440
And I'm not saying that you have to date people

679
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.200
or get to know people, but we know how to date people.

680
00:41:53.240 --> 00:41:54.480
We don't have to date people or get to know people,

681
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.800
but we know pretty quickly if someone is.

682
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.160
Friends, I want to apologize for the ARC dating app.

683
00:42:05.640 --> 00:42:08.440
Okay, we're trying to partner with this true Christian app

684
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:10.320
that's supposed to be, you know,

685
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.080
really trying to get Christians.

686
00:42:12.080 --> 00:42:14.000
And I'm going to about to have a meeting with them

687
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.480
because my ladies here, they screenshotted all the men

688
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:18.720
that they found on this app.

689
00:42:18.720 --> 00:42:20.680
And it's like someone, you know,

690
00:42:20.680 --> 00:42:22.880
went down to community day at the prison

691
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:26.440
and got everyone to sign up on this app.

692
00:42:28.200 --> 00:42:29.200
So I've made a decision.

693
00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:30.200
I'm going to talk to my team.

694
00:42:30.200 --> 00:42:32.440
I know Bethany's on here and she get cringes

695
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:35.360
every time I say something before I talk to her

696
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:36.920
or the team about it.

697
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:40.480
But you guys know that we do have technology.

698
00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:42.800
We do have technology.

699
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:46.240
We've had it for years and we have way better people

700
00:42:46.240 --> 00:42:48.400
on our technology spirit mate match

701
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.080
than is even what's on this.

702
00:42:50.080 --> 00:42:51.320
And I know that I've partnered

703
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.440
and I am going to continue to have my partnership

704
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:54.920
until July at least.

705
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.000
And I'm going to talk to them about some pivots.

706
00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:58.840
Why?

707
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.880
Because I've asked God for something

708
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:02.680
and I believe that I've received it.

709
00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:05.840
And that is a tsunami wave of kingdom marriages.

710
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:07.880
And I'm going to have it.

711
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:09.200
Okay.

712
00:43:09.200 --> 00:43:10.280
I'm going to have it.

713
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:13.160
Because that's what I've been doing for the last five years

714
00:43:13.160 --> 00:43:14.280
and I'm going to have it.

715
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.920
And yes, we've seen a little tidal wave.

716
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.160
I want a tsunami wave

717
00:43:17.160 --> 00:43:18.880
because those are the words that God said

718
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:20.360
when he spoke to me.

719
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:23.680
I've seen a tidal wave, I want to see a tsunami wave.

720
00:43:23.680 --> 00:43:24.520
Right?

721
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:28.320
That's what I want to see.

722
00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:31.280
Everyone's going to get caught up in that wave.

723
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:32.560
That's what God said.

724
00:43:32.560 --> 00:43:33.800
And so that's what I believe.

725
00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:36.600
But anyway, I mean, seriously,

726
00:43:36.600 --> 00:43:38.280
we ain't marrying Wilbur from this app.

727
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:41.640
There's a man on there, gentlemen, no offense to y'all.

728
00:43:41.640 --> 00:43:44.560
But first of all, we got to help you take better pictures

729
00:43:44.560 --> 00:43:47.280
but this couldn't even be helped with better pictures.

730
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.160
All right, this man literally had sunglasses on

731
00:43:50.160 --> 00:43:51.520
and he must work at a restaurant

732
00:43:51.520 --> 00:43:54.840
but his avatar photo is sunglasses,

733
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:56.600
sinister look on his face

734
00:43:56.600 --> 00:43:59.440
and he is yielding a blood covered knife.

735
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:02.440
He's cutting something that's bloody with a knife.

736
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.520
I'm like, in what world did you think

737
00:44:06.520 --> 00:44:09.720
this was the profile picture for a dating app?

738
00:44:13.240 --> 00:44:14.800
Sweet baby Jesus.

739
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.320
What in the world?

740
00:44:22.080 --> 00:44:24.280
Someone's like, I saw that guy too.

741
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:29.000
So anyway, bottom line is, is that yes,

742
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.960
we do remember, we believe, we receive

743
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.160
and then we make a plan and we work the plan

744
00:44:37.160 --> 00:44:38.480
and we're consistent with the plan.

745
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:42.320
The Bible tells us we make plans but God orders steps.

746
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:44.640
You guys, it doesn't say we make plans

747
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.560
but God throws our plans away and he orders our steps.

748
00:44:47.560 --> 00:44:50.960
No, it says we make plans, please hear

749
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.000
and then God orders our steps.

750
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:54.560
You guys, you have to make a plan

751
00:44:54.560 --> 00:44:56.360
if you want God to order your steps.

752
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:00.400
You have to be consistent with.

753
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.640
a plan if you want God to order your steps.

754
00:45:02.640 --> 00:45:07.640
If you want God to make divine appointments for you,

755
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:11.840
then you better stop zigging and zagging all over the place.

756
00:45:12.680 --> 00:45:14.880
You better start living a life of intention.

757
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:20.640
Not that God doesn't know where you're gonna go anyway,

758
00:45:20.640 --> 00:45:21.720
but the bottom line is,

759
00:45:21.720 --> 00:45:23.880
is that if you wanna have divine appointments,

760
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.700
Rebecca went to that well all the time

761
00:45:26.700 --> 00:45:29.880
when the servant found her to be Isaac's wife.

762
00:45:29.900 --> 00:45:34.340
That was where she could be found serving her father.

763
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:36.200
Come on, you guys.

764
00:45:36.200 --> 00:45:37.980
That's where she could be found.

765
00:45:40.940 --> 00:45:42.580
That's where she could be found.

766
00:45:42.580 --> 00:45:46.660
Same thing with the other woman who was much married.

767
00:45:46.660 --> 00:45:48.700
Jesus knew where she could be found

768
00:45:48.700 --> 00:45:53.700
because she had a schedule.

769
00:45:53.700 --> 00:45:55.880
She was living based on structure.

770
00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:58.460
He was going to the well when everyone else was gone

771
00:45:58.480 --> 00:45:59.480
in the heat of the day

772
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:03.480
because she was a scarlet woman in that town.

773
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:05.000
She couldn't go with all the other women.

774
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:06.600
She had to go at a different time

775
00:46:06.600 --> 00:46:08.840
and Jesus knew what that time was.

776
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:09.680
You know why?

777
00:46:09.680 --> 00:46:11.000
Because she was consistently there.

778
00:46:19.120 --> 00:46:21.140
You made a plan and guess what?

779
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:24.360
God scheduled some divine appointments for you

780
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:25.280
based on that plan,

781
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:27.880
but you gave up on that plan week two.

782
00:46:29.040 --> 00:46:34.040
And so you didn't meet that person at the gym at 10 a.m.

783
00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:38.520
You didn't do this and you guys,

784
00:46:38.520 --> 00:46:40.960
I don't want you to be like, oh no, I missed the boat.

785
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:43.440
No, the boat's coming back into harbor right now.

786
00:46:44.720 --> 00:46:46.080
It's honking its horn.

787
00:46:46.080 --> 00:46:47.640
It's saying all aboard.

788
00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:51.760
If we want God to order our steps, you guys,

789
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:54.740
we have to make plans.

790
00:46:56.860 --> 00:46:58.080
We have to make plans.

791
00:46:58.700 --> 00:47:01.340
We have to live lives of structure

792
00:47:01.340 --> 00:47:04.320
and intentionality and consistency.

793
00:47:06.020 --> 00:47:06.860
We have to.

794
00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:09.180
And that's all gonna start with the one question,

795
00:47:09.180 --> 00:47:11.700
what do you really want?

796
00:47:12.620 --> 00:47:13.940
So start praying into that.

797
00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:15.700
Start thinking about that.

798
00:47:15.700 --> 00:47:17.620
David's gonna add to that tomorrow night.

799
00:47:17.620 --> 00:47:19.120
He's gonna really help you to,

800
00:47:20.580 --> 00:47:22.380
you know, you might come with a list tomorrow night

801
00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:23.380
of what you really want.

802
00:47:23.380 --> 00:47:24.980
And then based on what he says

803
00:47:24.980 --> 00:47:26.140
with the help of Holy Spirit,

804
00:47:26.140 --> 00:47:27.780
you're gonna be like, wow, you know,

805
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:29.280
I thought I really wanted this,

806
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:30.960
but this is what's really highlighted

807
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:32.280
in my heart right now.

808
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:34.440
This is what's making my heart burn right now.

809
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:35.740
This is what I really want.

810
00:47:38.180 --> 00:47:39.160
This is what I thought I wanted,

811
00:47:39.160 --> 00:47:40.660
but this is what I really want.

812
00:47:45.560 --> 00:47:47.520
Father, we know that you want us to live abundant lives.

813
00:47:47.520 --> 00:47:49.720
That's why you sent your son to die for us.

814
00:47:51.020 --> 00:47:52.280
You didn't send him to die for us

815
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:53.860
so that we can live ordinary lives.

816
00:47:53.860 --> 00:47:54.960
You sent him to die for us

817
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.660
so that we can live extraordinary lives.

818
00:47:58.640 --> 00:48:00.560
Full of abundance, full of overflow,

819
00:48:00.560 --> 00:48:02.720
blessed to be a blessing.

820
00:48:02.720 --> 00:48:04.120
And we want those lives.

821
00:48:05.680 --> 00:48:07.340
And with our limited understanding,

822
00:48:07.340 --> 00:48:08.760
we're gonna make plans, Lord,

823
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.760
knowing that with those plans,

824
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:12.800
you can order steps.

825
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.240
Because those plans tell you that we believe.

826
00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:18.280
Belief requires action, Papa.

827
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:21.440
And when we make plans towards something,

828
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.200
it tells you that we believe we can have it.

829
00:48:24.200 --> 00:48:25.600
And that's all you need.

830
00:48:25.600 --> 00:48:27.240
All you need is belief.

831
00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:28.980
All you need is faith.

832
00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:31.340
And as we begin to walk by faith and not by sight,

833
00:48:31.340 --> 00:48:33.540
as we begin to put the blinders on

834
00:48:33.540 --> 00:48:35.580
to all distractions and disruptions,

835
00:48:35.580 --> 00:48:37.140
and we will not be deterred,

836
00:48:37.140 --> 00:48:38.360
and we will not be denied,

837
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:39.820
you will order our steps,

838
00:48:39.820 --> 00:48:42.420
and you will put the super on our natural,

839
00:48:42.420 --> 00:48:45.180
and we will see the fruit of our harvest.

840
00:48:47.340 --> 00:48:48.620
Woo!

841
00:48:48.620 --> 00:48:49.600
Yes, we will.

842
00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:52.340
We will see the fruit of our harvest.

843
00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:55.380
And won't that be a day?

844
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.640
And we'll be able to turn back around

845
00:48:57.640 --> 00:48:59.960
and tell someone who's in their process

846
00:48:59.960 --> 00:49:01.520
and in their plan,

847
00:49:01.520 --> 00:49:02.600
we'll be able to say,

848
00:49:02.600 --> 00:49:03.600
hey, don't give up.

849
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.560
Don't be weary in doing what you know is right.

850
00:49:07.560 --> 00:49:09.520
Don't be weary in standing in all the light

851
00:49:09.520 --> 00:49:10.920
that you have right now.

852
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:13.600
And when you've done all you can, stand.

853
00:49:13.600 --> 00:49:15.000
That's called being consistent.

854
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.040
That's the very definition of consistent.

855
00:49:17.040 --> 00:49:17.880
Don't you give up,

856
00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:18.760
because you know what?

857
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:20.440
I was you once,

858
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.000
and look where I am now.

859
00:49:22.500 --> 00:49:23.860
I was you once,

860
00:49:23.860 --> 00:49:25.140
and look where I am now.

861
00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:27.300
There are answers,

862
00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:28.580
there are breakthrough.

863
00:49:30.900 --> 00:49:35.420
There is gifts and rewards to faithfulness.

864
00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:36.740
There are.

865
00:49:36.740 --> 00:49:38.380
Someday I'll do a Supernatural Saturday

866
00:49:38.380 --> 00:49:40.740
about the rewards of faithfulness.

867
00:49:40.740 --> 00:49:43.340
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

868
00:49:46.540 --> 00:49:48.260
We will have,

869
00:49:48.260 --> 00:49:49.700
if we don't give up,

870
00:49:49.700 --> 00:49:51.700
that's the definition of faithfulness.

871
00:49:52.700 --> 00:49:54.500
That's very specific, friends.

872
00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:55.840
And God is not a liar.

873
00:49:58.340 --> 00:50:00.900
So Lord, we just thank you for this time together.

874
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.480
Lord, we're asking God that you would give us a lot of food for thought as we get off this call,

875
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:11.600
that we begin to examine our hearts and see what's there, see what it is that we think we want,

876
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:19.040
and surrender that for what we really want, Lord, and begin to prepare for a life of intentionality,

877
00:50:19.600 --> 00:50:25.920
for a life of structure, for a life of plans, for a life of process, and for a life of accelerated

878
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:32.320
harvest and breakthrough. Amos 9.13, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, Lord, as we get on page with

879
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:38.240
you and we begin to do what it is that you have asked us to do, we will see your supernatural

880
00:50:39.040 --> 00:50:44.160
expansion and abundance in Jesus' name. Right, friends, we're ending a little early today.

881
00:50:44.160 --> 00:50:51.680
I have to go catch a flight here, but I'm excited to see what will be the fruit of tomorrow night

882
00:50:51.680 --> 00:50:57.920
and as we walk that out together in this community. All right, I'll talk to you soon. Bye, everyone.
