00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.700
Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:06.820
I am so glad you guys are here this morning.

3
00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:10.940
I feel a cheerful attitude this morning.

4
00:00:10.940 --> 00:00:13.320
I hope that you do as well.

5
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.020
If you're new to Supernatural Saturday, this is the one day a week where we meet as a community

6
00:00:19.020 --> 00:00:23.660
to look to the Lord for what is the current prophetic revelation.

7
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:25.060
What is it?

8
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:27.060
What is the current prophetic revelation?

9
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.460
I believe that God wants us to experience swift and powerful winds.

10
00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:33.420
I do, especially in this season.

11
00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:38.220
I can't tell you how many people I released a word at the beginning of the year for singles

12
00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:42.700
and you know, I'm sure it's for other people besides singles.

13
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:47.580
It's definitely for me and I'm not a single, but because God has made me a prophet to the

14
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:53.940
single nation, you know, when I receive a word, I definitely release it in this community

15
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:58.140
and for the single community just at large.

16
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.620
And so that word was full circle.

17
00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:05.980
And I cannot tell you how many times that word has been confirmed, how many times just

18
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.500
in passing someone has used that phrase with me.

19
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.980
Even yesterday, I was recording a podcast that will come out on April 22nd.

20
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:17.000
If you don't follow me on Instagram, follow me on Instagram.

21
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.140
That's where I announce a lot of news.

22
00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:25.820
I announce a lot of new things over there as far as, you know, a podcast that I'm on

23
00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:27.820
or something that I'm doing.

24
00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:32.740
And I want you to remember when you're over on my Instagram that if I do a single spotlight,

25
00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:38.580
if I announce something that's coming up, you guys will always be the first in line.

26
00:01:38.580 --> 00:01:41.600
This community, that's one of the perks of membership.

27
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:44.060
You will always be the first in line.

28
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:48.980
If you show interest in a single spotlight that I do over on Instagram, I will always

29
00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:55.380
vet out the possibilities from within this student body before I let the public have

30
00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:56.380
a chance at that.

31
00:01:56.380 --> 00:01:57.380
Okay?

32
00:01:57.380 --> 00:01:59.260
So I just want to make sure that you know that.

33
00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:03.540
But check out Instagram and follow it.

34
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:05.460
If you don't have an Instagram, that's fine as well.

35
00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:08.060
Don't worry because you will eventually get the news as well.

36
00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.060
Okay?

37
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:10.820
So I don't want you to worry like, oh, I got a good Instagram.

38
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:11.820
No, you don't.

39
00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:13.420
If you don't have one, that's fine.

40
00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:18.860
But full circle, like yesterday, I was recording this podcast coming out on April 22nd.

41
00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:20.740
And she used those words.

42
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:22.660
She goes, yeah, everything seems to be coming full circle.

43
00:02:22.660 --> 00:02:24.900
And I'm like, I'm so glad you said that.

44
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:30.220
And then we went into that word from the Lord and all the things that have been surrounding

45
00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:31.220
that.

46
00:02:31.220 --> 00:02:36.100
So you guys, all we have to do for our full circle moment is just get positioned.

47
00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:38.900
And you're like, well, Jackie, I don't know.

48
00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:40.300
Where should I be positioned at?

49
00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:41.860
Well, it's not for you to know.

50
00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:44.120
And I know that sounds a little crazy, like get in position.

51
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.540
And yet you don't know where to be positioned.

52
00:02:47.540 --> 00:02:49.580
I'm talking about a heart posture.

53
00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:51.820
I'm not talking about your physicality.

54
00:02:51.820 --> 00:02:53.940
I'm talking about your heart.

55
00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:58.740
Just get your heart positioned to receive.

56
00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:00.020
Just get it positioned to receive.

57
00:03:00.020 --> 00:03:03.380
And there's some ways that we can get ready to receive.

58
00:03:03.380 --> 00:03:07.380
There's some ways that we can measure whether or not we're ready to receive.

59
00:03:07.380 --> 00:03:09.420
Are you good at receiving?

60
00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:11.020
Is your heart good at receiving?

61
00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:15.940
That's the most important thing you should be asking yourself when it comes to positioning.

62
00:03:15.940 --> 00:03:18.220
Is your heart good at receiving?

63
00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:19.220
Can you receive?

64
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:21.140
Can you receive freely?

65
00:03:21.140 --> 00:03:22.300
Can you receive tearfully?

66
00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:28.140
Can you receive things that you don't deserve, that you didn't earn?

67
00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:29.180
Can you?

68
00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:34.220
So that should be a question that all of us ask ourselves as we're going into the rest

69
00:03:34.220 --> 00:03:35.820
of this full circle season.

70
00:03:35.820 --> 00:03:37.660
Guys, it's already April.

71
00:03:37.660 --> 00:03:39.740
What the heck?

72
00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:46.500
We're heading into time of Passover, the celebration of the resurrection, which I love.

73
00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:47.500
Easter is one of my favorites.

74
00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:49.540
That's on the 20th of this month.

75
00:03:49.540 --> 00:03:53.940
There's so much to look forward to, and we'll be doing a lot of special Supernatural Saturdays

76
00:03:53.940 --> 00:03:55.260
as we get towards that.

77
00:03:55.260 --> 00:03:58.940
I have a little bit more of an announcement this morning.

78
00:03:58.940 --> 00:04:04.380
My book, Modern Dating Sucks, is going to be available for presale in just a couple

79
00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:05.380
weeks.

80
00:04:05.380 --> 00:04:06.380
You guys, I'm almost done.

81
00:04:06.380 --> 00:04:07.380
It's going to be great.

82
00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:08.380
It's going to be great.

83
00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:09.620
It's going to be great.

84
00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:12.020
I'm so excited about this book.

85
00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:15.620
Also, I have another exciting announcement.

86
00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:22.340
Two different purely Christian dating apps that started in the UK, they're big in the

87
00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:26.860
UK, now they're making their US debut.

88
00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:32.900
They have reached out to do exclusive partnerships with us.

89
00:04:32.900 --> 00:04:34.660
What does that mean for you guys?

90
00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:41.300
That means exclusive premium memberships on these dating apps that are for Christians,

91
00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:42.620
owned by Christians.

92
00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:45.140
It's important that you understand the difference.

93
00:04:45.140 --> 00:04:48.740
All of those other Christian apps, Upword, they say they're for Christian, right?

94
00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:54.020
Zoosk and all that, they're all owned by the people that own Tinder and Bumble.

95
00:04:54.020 --> 00:04:59.780
They're all owned by the same people, but these apps are for Christians, owned by Christians.

96
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.840
Okay, and so we're going to be doing some fun series of podcasts around different topics

97
00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:10.540
that have people stuck.

98
00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:15.280
We're going to be doing some in-person pop-up events in different cities.

99
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:22.120
There's going to be online speed dating that you guys will be able to come to free premium

100
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.840
membership because of being part of this community and the partnership that I'm doing with these

101
00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:27.840
folks.

102
00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.560
And so I'm really excited about that.

103
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.560
You guys, so we're in talks right now.

104
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.160
I expect this stuff to get moving forward pretty quickly.

105
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.240
In fact, I think that we'll probably have one of those online speed dating events with

106
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.040
them this month in April before this month is even over.

107
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.040
Okay.

108
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.920
And right now they're sitting at 55% women, 45% men on the app, which is exciting.

109
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.520
They have a database of already 25,000 people and growing.

110
00:05:54.520 --> 00:06:00.120
And I know that our involvement with that is even going to cause that to grow faster.

111
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.600
And so I was praying a couple of days ago, I think two days ago.

112
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.900
I was just walking and praying, walking and praying, walking and praying.

113
00:06:08.900 --> 00:06:13.360
If you do have your prayer language, I want to encourage you to use it in this season.

114
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.480
I want to encourage you to walk and just pray in the spirit as much as you can because God

115
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.600
is putting pieces together.

116
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.680
If you don't have your prayer language, ask God to give it to you.

117
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.360
Ask God to give it to you.

118
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.040
God is positioning things.

119
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.160
He's putting things together.

120
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.200
And so in one of those moments when I was just walking and praying in my prayer language,

121
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:43.080
the Lord spoke to me and he said that this is a season of collaborations.

122
00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:45.160
This is the season of partnerships.

123
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.800
This is the season of invitations and it's going to be a really exciting season.

124
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.760
So I just want to release that over you.

125
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:55.680
And as I step into the things that are for me, the collaborations and the partnerships

126
00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.260
and the affiliations and the invitations, that is going to allow you to step into those

127
00:07:00.260 --> 00:07:02.320
rooms as well.

128
00:07:02.320 --> 00:07:06.120
So as I step into those rooms, you guys are going to step into those rooms with me.

129
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.600
Now you all have your own partnerships, collaborations, things as well.

130
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.040
But I'm just saying in this area, as I step into these things, that will open the door

131
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.040
for you to step into those places as well.

132
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.040
And I'm very excited.

133
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.840
I've been waiting for this for almost five years now.

134
00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:23.840
Okay.

135
00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:26.800
Ever since we said yes to this crazy adventure.

136
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.680
And so just keep pressing in, keep allowing God to show you places in your heart where

137
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:37.480
you're still not ready to receive, because once again, that's all that's necessary in

138
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:42.280
this time of positioning, in the time of full circle moments in your life, is that you're

139
00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:46.240
just able to recognize them and receive them.

140
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.200
You don't have all of these objections to why it's not for you.

141
00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:52.640
Why it's not the right time.

142
00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:56.400
Why it's not the right person, place or thing.

143
00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.400
Just yes, Lord.

144
00:07:57.400 --> 00:07:58.400
Here I am.

145
00:07:58.400 --> 00:07:59.400
Yes, Lord.

146
00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:00.400
Here I am.

147
00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:04.280
Look at all the people that we look up to in the Bible.

148
00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:08.400
They were all just like, okay, yes, here I am, right?

149
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:11.280
They were.

150
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:14.960
They were, they were willing and ready to receive the word of the Lord, even if it was

151
00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:16.520
a little crazy.

152
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:19.160
And it was a little crazy.

153
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:20.160
It was.

154
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.160
Let's just admit it.

155
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.280
It was a little crazy, but they were willing to receive it.

156
00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:26.720
And you guys, that's my story.

157
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.120
That's why I'm where I am and positioned where I am in life, because I've always been willing

158
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.240
to receive the word of the Lord, even when it was a little crazy.

159
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.860
So I released that over you.

160
00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:45.980
Whatever is blocking you from being able to receive, to being able to surrender into that,

161
00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:50.380
that God would reveal it and heal it in your life.

162
00:08:50.380 --> 00:08:54.820
So new book coming out, it's going to open a lot of doors, Modern Dating Sucks.

163
00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:59.020
I was going to call it Christian Dating Sucks, but I really want a lot of people to read

164
00:08:59.020 --> 00:09:06.580
it that maybe need to know a little bit more about what God's plan was for marriage and

165
00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:07.580
family.

166
00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:09.860
And so we're going to call it Modern Dating Sucks.

167
00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:11.820
That is the actual title of it.

168
00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:14.100
I mean, then these partnerships.

169
00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:15.460
And so you guys get excited.

170
00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:18.900
So Father God, we're so thankful in this season, more than ever before.

171
00:09:18.900 --> 00:09:23.300
We feel the supernatural, super naturalness of your calling.

172
00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:25.060
We know that you're wooing us.

173
00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:27.380
We know that you're drawing us to yourself.

174
00:09:27.380 --> 00:09:31.220
We know that during this Passover season, there are all kinds of amazing things that

175
00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.220
are happening.

176
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:36.540
But most importantly, you're calling us out of where we've been to a place that you've

177
00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:37.980
prepared for us.

178
00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:39.540
You're positioning us.

179
00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:42.240
You're allowing there to be full circle moments.

180
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.620
You're allowing there to be opportunities that we missed out on in the past, or maybe

181
00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:51.460
didn't even recognize as opportunities in the past, coming back around again.

182
00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:54.140
And we're asking you to help us.

183
00:09:54.140 --> 00:09:56.180
Open the eyes of our heart, Lord.

184
00:09:56.180 --> 00:09:58.220
Help us to see clearly.

185
00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.980
Help us to surrender.

186
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.480
Supernaturally, give us grace, Lord.

187
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.320
Give us grace in this time of your calling.

188
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.560
That your word says that in the day of your power,

189
00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:12.320
your people would be willing to be made willing.

190
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.180
And so we used to declare that over ourselves.

191
00:10:14.180 --> 00:10:15.760
We are willing to be made willing.

192
00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:16.600
Say that over yourself.

193
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.560
I am willing to be made willing

194
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:22.280
to step into what God has for me.

195
00:10:22.280 --> 00:10:24.520
Doesn't matter if it wasn't my plan.

196
00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:27.500
Doesn't matter if it wasn't what I wanted to do.

197
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:29.420
It's time.

198
00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:32.140
It's my time to fully surrender to the Lord

199
00:10:32.140 --> 00:10:34.140
and to allow him to have his way in my life.

200
00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:34.980
Amen.

201
00:10:36.020 --> 00:10:37.080
All right, when I woke up this morning,

202
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.300
I had a bunch of D words come into my mind.

203
00:10:40.300 --> 00:10:42.180
And so we're just gonna run with that.

204
00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:44.340
We're gonna see where Holy Spirit takes us.

205
00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:46.060
So the words that just popped into my head

206
00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:47.860
as soon as I opened my eyes this morning

207
00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:50.300
were distraction, disruption, destruction,

208
00:10:50.300 --> 00:10:52.740
detour, delay, and dead end.

209
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.340
Those were the words.

210
00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:57.140
Like just like that in a little train,

211
00:10:57.780 --> 00:10:59.060
they popped into my head this morning.

212
00:10:59.060 --> 00:11:01.340
And so we're gonna go ahead and dig into these things

213
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.920
and see where Holy Spirit wants to take us

214
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:06.220
and what revelation he wants to give us.

215
00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.260
So distraction, you guys know what that is.

216
00:11:08.260 --> 00:11:10.500
We live in a time of distraction.

217
00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:12.940
Every single day is full of distraction.

218
00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:16.380
And how do you know if it's a distraction or not?

219
00:11:16.380 --> 00:11:21.380
Well, anything that disrupts what God has told you

220
00:11:22.900 --> 00:11:26.060
to focus on is a distraction, right?

221
00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:29.700
Anything that prevents you from giving your full attention,

222
00:11:31.420 --> 00:11:36.420
your full mind to something that's important

223
00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:38.100
is a distraction.

224
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.580
The problem is is a lot of us don't know

225
00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:42.260
what distractions are because we don't have a plan.

226
00:11:44.060 --> 00:11:45.100
We don't have a plan.

227
00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.540
We just kind of get up and float with the wind.

228
00:11:47.540 --> 00:11:48.940
We're just floating through life.

229
00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:53.260
We're doing all the things that we have to do, okay?

230
00:11:53.260 --> 00:11:55.100
We have to do it, so we're gonna do it.

231
00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:58.060
We have to get up, we have to put gas in the car,

232
00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:01.500
we have to go to work, we have to do whatever it is,

233
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:04.400
push the papers around at work, whatever it is that we do.

234
00:12:05.300 --> 00:12:09.660
Then we have to punch the time clock and leave, right?

235
00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:12.060
We have to eat, so we're either gonna go through

236
00:12:12.060 --> 00:12:15.300
a drive-through or a restaurant or we're gonna go home

237
00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.980
and we're gonna open the fridge because we have to,

238
00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:21.340
and we're gonna make something to eat and eat it.

239
00:12:22.260 --> 00:12:24.300
Gonna drink something because we have to.

240
00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:27.100
Guys, God wants us to shift.

241
00:12:28.660 --> 00:12:31.080
In order for you to recognize what a distraction is,

242
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.980
you have to also recognize what intention is.

243
00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:37.200
You have to also live an intentional life.

244
00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:40.740
You have to live a life not full of I have tos

245
00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:44.940
but full of I get tos, right?

246
00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:49.740
Raise your hand if you wanna live a life full of I get tos.

247
00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:54.260
That's exciting, what is that?

248
00:12:54.260 --> 00:12:55.660
That is living a life of vision,

249
00:12:55.660 --> 00:12:57.400
that's living a life of purpose.

250
00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:03.100
And so when you have a purpose, when you have a plan,

251
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.420
when you're focused on a goal,

252
00:13:06.420 --> 00:13:08.500
then you will recognize the distraction.

253
00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:16.180
I saw a very disturbing video about how many months

254
00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:19.220
we have in our lives if we live to be a certain age.

255
00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:20.940
And the age was like the median age

256
00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:22.900
that people live to nowadays.

257
00:13:22.900 --> 00:13:25.500
So I don't know if it was 77 or whatever it was.

258
00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:27.760
But how many months that we have in our life?

259
00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:32.460
And then it showed you how many months

260
00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:33.900
you were gonna spend sleeping.

261
00:13:33.900 --> 00:13:35.820
Yes, you guys, during the course of your life,

262
00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:40.060
you're gonna spend months asleep, months, okay?

263
00:13:40.060 --> 00:13:41.620
Years asleep.

264
00:13:42.900 --> 00:13:44.800
I don't know, that's like, wait, what?

265
00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:49.540
So you're gonna spend years asleep

266
00:13:49.540 --> 00:13:51.980
and then it showed how much time you're gonna spend

267
00:13:52.140 --> 00:13:53.420
taking a shower.

268
00:13:53.420 --> 00:13:54.460
How many months are you gonna spend

269
00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:57.140
in the shower of your life?

270
00:13:57.140 --> 00:13:59.980
How many months are you gonna spend driving your car?

271
00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:02.660
How many months are you gonna spend,

272
00:14:02.660 --> 00:14:05.740
just fill in the blank, just all the median things,

273
00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:08.760
all the things that we do, menial things that we do.

274
00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:12.060
And then it showed how much time

275
00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:13.700
you're gonna spend at work or school.

276
00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:15.600
Like during those years, it showed how much time

277
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.160
you're gonna be in school and how much time

278
00:14:17.160 --> 00:14:19.900
you're gonna be at work and just all the different things.

279
00:14:19.900 --> 00:14:23.500
And then it showed how many months after all that's done,

280
00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:28.500
how much time you have left to do something else, right?

281
00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:31.380
With this one and only life that you have.

282
00:14:31.380 --> 00:14:34.340
And you guys, the reason why this video

283
00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:37.700
kind of freaked me out, because right when it said,

284
00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.740
okay, this is what you have left,

285
00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:42.500
it showed how many months people are gonna spend

286
00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:46.880
scrolling mindlessly on the internet.

287
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:52.560
And when that was all taken out of people's lives,

288
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:56.200
there was only like 100 months left,

289
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.680
or I don't know, like let's say 50 months left.

290
00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:00.520
And you guys.

291
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.160
That was super scary.

292
00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:03.640
And I was like, oh no, no, no.

293
00:15:04.160 --> 00:15:09.000
But, and the reason why I use social media or the internet as an example is because

294
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.280
so many people are distracted by it.

295
00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:13.720
And the only reason they're distracted by it is because they really

296
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.120
don't have anything better to do.

297
00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:18.760
They don't have anything better to do.

298
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.040
I'm one of those people.

299
00:15:20.680 --> 00:15:22.600
If you don't have anything better to do, what are you going to do?

300
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.040
Nothing.

301
00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.360
You're just going to sit there and scroll.

302
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.960
This is the age that we live in.

303
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.360
You're going to sit there and you're going to watch television.

304
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:32.040
You're going to binge all kinds of shows that after they're over with, they're over.

305
00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:33.640
And you're like, now what do I do with my life?

306
00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:37.640
Or after they're over, you're like, yeah, I really wish I wouldn't have watched that

307
00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:41.040
because I got really involved in it and it wasn't really that good for me.

308
00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:42.000
It wasn't that healthy.

309
00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:42.960
Right.

310
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:49.400
And this is not a sermon on technology, but in order for us to recognize our

311
00:15:49.400 --> 00:15:55.120
distractions, we have to know what our goals are, what our purpose is.

312
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.840
And then your distraction is anything that prevents you from giving that your full

313
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.400
attention.

314
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.160
A distraction is anything that prevents you from giving what you need to give your

315
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:08.640
full attention, your full attention.

316
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.400
Years ago, when God put me on a certain mission, he said, anything that distracts

317
00:16:14.400 --> 00:16:15.240
you is your enemy.

318
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.280
Distraction is your enemy.

319
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:18.440
Okay.

320
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.200
Obviously people aren't my enemy, but distraction is my enemy.

321
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.800
And so I need to treat it as such.

322
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.960
Instead of just allowing it in, I need to shut it down.

323
00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:32.440
Now, friends, if people have become a distraction for you, reaching your goals

324
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.960
for things that you know that you have to accomplish, then you have to put up

325
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:36.960
healthy boundaries.

326
00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:39.200
You have to say, no, I'm sorry.

327
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.760
I can't do that for you right now.

328
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:42.320
I have to finish this.

329
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.080
And we're not going to get into a time management sermon this morning.

330
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:50.480
This is just an overview where God just wants to speak to individual hearts about

331
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.760
individual subjects.

332
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.360
We're going to talk about a few things.

333
00:16:54.800 --> 00:16:57.080
High 30,000 foot overview.

334
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.520
And then whatever Holy Spirit is saying to you, that's the message.

335
00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:02.680
So the next word is disruption.

336
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:09.440
Distraction and disruption are similar words, but disruptions are problems or

337
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.720
disturbances that interrupt a process.

338
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.520
The word disrupt, you see it almost has the word interrupt in it.

339
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.599
It's interrupting a process.

340
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:28.119
You guys, I will tell you that every time I know that I've, you know, talked about

341
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.880
publicly so many times that I'm in this new season of life called menopause.

342
00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:32.880
All right.

343
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:34.480
And it sucks.

344
00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:35.600
I got to be honest with you.

345
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.440
It really does.

346
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.960
But I will say that I have tried to get ahold of it.

347
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.600
I've done lots of research.

348
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.720
I've read the books.

349
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.160
I've talked to the doctors.

350
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:50.480
I've done the things because, you know, it's a life, it's a life altering season

351
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.120
and I need to get ahead of it.

352
00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:59.480
But every time I've gone to implement what I've learned, listen up, every time I have

353
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:05.200
gone to implement what I have learned about what I need to do to optimize this

354
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.760
season, friends, regardless of what season you're in, you can optimize it.

355
00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:10.720
We're just managing our seasons.

356
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.280
Oh, I'm going to manage to get through it.

357
00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:12.920
I'm going to do it.

358
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:13.920
I'm going to manage to get through it.

359
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:15.640
No, you need to optimize it.

360
00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:19.280
And I'm an optimizer kind of personality.

361
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:25.280
So as soon as I found out what I need to do to optimize it and I began to do that

362
00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:33.000
work, there have been disruptions in the form of things that I cannot control.

363
00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:40.600
My brother having this mental health episode, having all different types of

364
00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:45.000
crises that have tried to come in and turn these disruptions into destructions.

365
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:47.360
I got the norovirus.

366
00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:49.720
You know, it's so interesting.

367
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:54.160
And I told my husband, it cannot be coincidental that every moment that I am

368
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:59.200
trying to implement this plan that I believe that Holy Spirit helped me put

369
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:04.720
together on how to optimize my health in this season, something is coming and

370
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:05.840
trying to hijack it.

371
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.440
All of a sudden, you guys, I was just minding my own business, opening a package.

372
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.960
All I was doing was opening a package, just, you know, tearing the top off a

373
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.920
package and opening it.

374
00:19:15.280 --> 00:19:16.800
And my wrist went wonky.

375
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.960
I was opening the package and my wrist like got messed up somehow from doing a

376
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.000
movement that I do, you know, all the time.

377
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:28.160
And I'm like, what is happening?

378
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.680
And my wrist would not work.

379
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.200
I mean, it literally could not be moved.

380
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.800
It was like, you know, I fractured it or something.

381
00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:37.840
Of course I didn't.

382
00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:41.120
And I knew that I didn't, but that happened.

383
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.280
And then it's like all my warranties on my body are getting called in, right?

384
00:19:45.280 --> 00:19:47.800
All my warranties are like expiring or something.

385
00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:54.840
And then, then when I tried to implement the plan, then I got some sort of other

386
00:19:54.840 --> 00:19:59.000
thing happening, this weird sciatic situation that just kind of came out of

387
00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.480
nowhere.

388
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.040
You guys, I'm not over spiritualizing things.

389
00:20:03.760 --> 00:20:07.920
I know that these are very natural things, but I promise you they are

390
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.200
distractions and disruptions and even things that are trying to

391
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.840
cause destructions in my life.

392
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:23.440
Every time that you take the intention and the focus and you bring it to God to

393
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:31.600
make a plan to bring about a solution to something in your life, and then you

394
00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:37.880
begin to work that plan and then all hell breaks loose, all of a sudden, all

395
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.720
kinds of things start falling apart.

396
00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:42.520
Your car breaks down, this happens, that happens.

397
00:20:42.840 --> 00:20:46.720
Please do not just be like, oh, what a coincidence.

398
00:20:46.760 --> 00:20:48.360
No, it's not a coincidence.

399
00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:49.600
It's not.

400
00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:51.920
It's a demonic disruption.

401
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:53.320
That's what it is.

402
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:55.280
And you know what?

403
00:20:56.560 --> 00:20:58.080
That's when you know you're on the right track.

404
00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:02.920
Now, if you didn't put oil in your car for eight months and then it finally

405
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:04.320
blew up, that's on you.

406
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:09.480
But I'm talking about the things that have been stewarded well, they're

407
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:13.760
stewarded well, and then all of a sudden things just start going on the blitz.

408
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:15.760
Okay?

409
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.280
They start going on the fritz.

410
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:20.600
That's what starts happening.

411
00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:22.200
And you're like, what is happening?

412
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.480
What is happening is that you're on the right track.

413
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.520
And I want to tell you, I want to tell you something this morning.

414
00:21:26.520 --> 00:21:31.000
And please, please listen and please take it seriously.

415
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.680
And I am too.

416
00:21:32.760 --> 00:21:33.480
I am too.

417
00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:35.320
Do not stop.

418
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.480
Do not stop.

419
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:45.720
The only way that you are going to press past these disruptions and these

420
00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:49.680
distractions are to keep going.

421
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.480
You're like, well, Jackie, you know, I physically can't keep going well, you

422
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.200
might not be able to run, but you can crawl.

423
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:04.440
You guys, we have to show these demonic opposing forces that are trying to keep

424
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.800
us from breakthrough, that we are not going to give up.

425
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:13.240
I would be lying to you if I said that when these things happened, after I've

426
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:18.240
already been in a season of suffering with my body, you know, so many years

427
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:25.320
you know, season of grieving, even with my body gained 45 pounds, body doesn't

428
00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:30.320
work the way it used to having to have all of this input just to sleep, not

429
00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:34.200
have hot flashes all day long, all the different things that need to be changed.

430
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.080
They need to be done.

431
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:36.560
I'm willing to do that work.

432
00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:41.440
But then when I start to do that work, all of a sudden, these things come as

433
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.600
obstacles, not allowing me to do that work.

434
00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:47.960
There were a couple of days when I felt like I just wanted to give up.

435
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.560
You know, what's the use?

436
00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:52.520
Nothing ever works.

437
00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:53.640
Nothing ever changes.

438
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:58.600
And you can apply this to any area of your life where you're having this happen.

439
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:00.080
It doesn't have to be your health.

440
00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:01.000
It can be anything.

441
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:02.240
It could be a job search.

442
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.480
It could be your finances.

443
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.680
It could be your love life.

444
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.440
It could be anything.

445
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:06.880
It doesn't matter what it is.

446
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.200
I believe that we are at a point of breakthrough.

447
00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:12.400
I do.

448
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.480
I do.

449
00:23:13.760 --> 00:23:19.360
David and I lived, we moved to Austin seven years ago on March 31st.

450
00:23:19.360 --> 00:23:25.200
It was seven years ago that we got in our truck, our U-Haul truck, and loaded

451
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.400
it up with the stuff from our storage unit because we had already been living

452
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:32.400
in transition because God told us we were going to move in June, well, we told

453
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.440
ourselves we were going to move in June because that was the time that was

454
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.440
convenient for us to move to Austin.

455
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.320
We already knew we were moving to Austin.

456
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.000
We're going to move when it's convenient, when the time is right

457
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:44.440
and perfect, and God said, no, you're going to go now.

458
00:23:45.080 --> 00:23:50.480
It was March, but God, we're going to move in June when it all makes sense.

459
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.480
He's like, it doesn't need to make sense.

460
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:54.120
You need to move during Passover.

461
00:23:54.120 --> 00:23:56.600
What does Passover have to do with anything?

462
00:23:57.600 --> 00:24:00.040
I mean, seriously, what are we, Jews in the desert?

463
00:24:00.280 --> 00:24:01.560
What's going on here?

464
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.160
Why do we have to move during Passover?

465
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.160
No, I actually didn't ask those questions.

466
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.720
I would say, okay, Lord, you say we have to move during Passover.

467
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:11.280
Then we have to move during Passover.

468
00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:13.640
So we loaded all our stuff up from the storage unit.

469
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:18.880
And on March 31st, we drove to Austin, Texas because we were several months

470
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.120
ahead of time, we did not have a place to live, but within 24 hours

471
00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:24.800
of moving here, we had an apartment.

472
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.120
We had help from a local church to unpack our stuff and

473
00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:30.480
take it up to our apartment.

474
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.920
And then we were just here for what reason?

475
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:35.480
We don't know.

476
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:39.800
We know originally why God told us to move to Austin about the creative

477
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:44.000
community and the new model of church that he wanted us to plant here.

478
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.760
Not a church, but more of a community for creatives, film,

479
00:24:47.760 --> 00:24:49.320
fashion, art, music, media.

480
00:24:50.080 --> 00:24:53.800
Being able to help people to become God's publicists in the earth and

481
00:24:53.800 --> 00:24:55.120
use their gifts and talents.

482
00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:57.400
You know, we called it the depot back then.

483
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.920
Now we call it the wheelhouse.

484
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.940
And you guys, seven years to the day that we moved here,

485
00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:07.220
March 31st, we signed the lease on the venue

486
00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:10.440
that we could never find when we first moved here.

487
00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:13.900
We couldn't find it.

488
00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:15.200
We looked everywhere, high and low.

489
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.140
There was nothing that we could afford.

490
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:20.340
There was nothing that seemed right.

491
00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:22.460
And I'm thankful for that

492
00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:23.820
because there were a whole lot of other things

493
00:25:23.820 --> 00:25:27.200
that we needed to do before we could launch this project,

494
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.200
namely the project that you're part of, last year's single.

495
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.280
Had we done that before we did this,

496
00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:35.480
then this wouldn't exist.

497
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:39.280
And so God knows how to play the Jenga, okay?

498
00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:41.220
You gotta trust him on that.

499
00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:43.120
But when I tell you there were so many distractions

500
00:25:43.120 --> 00:25:46.120
and disruptions, there are.

501
00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:47.900
And I think that we think, hey, if it's God,

502
00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.320
then the path's gonna be smooth.

503
00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:53.400
It's gonna be easy to get done what God has told us to do.

504
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:54.980
No, that's not true.

505
00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:56.640
And I don't know why you would ever think that

506
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:58.920
because there's absolutely no precedent for that

507
00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.880
in the word of God.

508
00:26:02.780 --> 00:26:05.280
There is supernatural power.

509
00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:08.080
There's supernatural partnership and help.

510
00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:11.700
But we have to push past the objections,

511
00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:14.200
the distractions, the disruptions,

512
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:18.160
the things that the enemy wants to have become destructions.

513
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:20.160
Past, okay, here's our next D words

514
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.480
that popped in my spirit this morning, detour.

515
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.080
We have to push past the detours.

516
00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:25.000
What's a detour?

517
00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:28.540
It's when you're forced to go a less direct route.

518
00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:32.560
You guys know, we do it all the time when we're driving,

519
00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:34.240
especially during construction season,

520
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.440
which is spring and summer.

521
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:38.680
All the roads seem to be under construction right now.

522
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:40.600
And what happens is that we're forced

523
00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:42.480
to take a less direct route.

524
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:45.480
There's a very direct route to wherever it is

525
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.760
that you're trying to go.

526
00:26:46.760 --> 00:26:49.200
And then there's a lot of less direct routes.

527
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:50.400
And that's what a detour is.

528
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:54.400
A detour is when you don't get to go from A to B.

529
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.240
You're forced to go from A to C to L, M, N, O, P

530
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:01.620
before you can get to B.

531
00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:05.020
Right?

532
00:27:06.760 --> 00:27:10.640
And a lot of times these detours can be

533
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:12.480
because there's lack of preparation.

534
00:27:13.620 --> 00:27:16.360
Hey, we're not gonna put it all on the devil, okay?

535
00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:19.020
There's a lack of preparation.

536
00:27:19.020 --> 00:27:20.520
There's a lack of intention.

537
00:27:21.520 --> 00:27:24.600
That can happen for sure, and it happens a lot in our lives.

538
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.480
But when it is a demonic detour, I know this for sure.

539
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.800
What the devil means for evil, God always turns for good.

540
00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:33.960
Okay?

541
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:35.280
Seriously.

542
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:38.360
I have had some real demonic detours in my life.

543
00:27:38.360 --> 00:27:39.200
It wasn't me.

544
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.160
It definitely was supernatural.

545
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.600
And it actually worked out better

546
00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:45.760
than if I would have taken a direct route.

547
00:27:47.280 --> 00:27:48.200
So much better.

548
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:49.060
So much better.

549
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.000
So those detours, a lot of times

550
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.640
when God is the author of them, right?

551
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:56.960
God can use all of these things.

552
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.460
It's to avoid an even bigger problem.

553
00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:02.360
And that's what detours are on the road.

554
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.680
You know, the road's all torn up.

555
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:07.000
You can't go that way.

556
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.620
If you go that way, it's gonna be a problem

557
00:28:08.620 --> 00:28:09.720
for you and your car.

558
00:28:10.760 --> 00:28:12.560
You know, there's a gas leak.

559
00:28:12.560 --> 00:28:13.600
There's a water leak.

560
00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:14.680
There's a flooding.

561
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:16.280
There's something that's happening.

562
00:28:16.280 --> 00:28:18.600
The detour is for you to avoid a problem.

563
00:28:20.040 --> 00:28:21.240
And the other kind of detour

564
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.480
that kind of came into my heart this morning

565
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.720
is you, you know, you wanna take the direct route.

566
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.400
Now you're on the scenic route.

567
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.360
You're not taking the direct route.

568
00:28:30.360 --> 00:28:31.600
But it's also because there's some things

569
00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:33.720
that God wants you to see along the way.

570
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:38.980
When we got here, we expected to just fully plant

571
00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:40.680
what we used to call the depot.

572
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:41.960
We expected to plant that.

573
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:43.760
That's what we were here for.

574
00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:46.040
But there were lots of detours.

575
00:28:47.320 --> 00:28:48.480
Lots and lots of detours

576
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:51.520
because God wanted us to see some things along the way.

577
00:28:51.520 --> 00:28:53.320
And you might even, when you're traveling on a road trip,

578
00:28:53.320 --> 00:28:54.520
you might even take a detour.

579
00:28:54.520 --> 00:28:56.080
You might not even go the direct route

580
00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:58.380
because you wanna see something, a landmark.

581
00:28:59.360 --> 00:29:01.000
You wanna see something historic.

582
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.760
You wanna see something that, you know,

583
00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:06.200
you found on the map that looked interesting, right?

584
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.680
And so you take a detour in order to find it.

585
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.120
And so they're not always bad.

586
00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:13.360
They can be really good.

587
00:29:14.760 --> 00:29:16.360
And then the next word is delay.

588
00:29:17.320 --> 00:29:19.960
And all that means is that something is happening later

589
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.200
than it was originally planned or expected.

590
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.520
I know we hear in the church world all the time,

591
00:29:25.520 --> 00:29:27.680
I don't know what preacher coined the phrase,

592
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.120
delay is not denial, and it certainly isn't.

593
00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:32.900
Delay certainly isn't denial.

594
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.360
But there are delays that don't need to happen.

595
00:29:36.360 --> 00:29:38.240
There are delays that are only happening

596
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.700
because we're not prepared.

597
00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.460
I hope that you get that theme

598
00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:45.020
throughout this morning's call.

599
00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:49.740
God wants us to be prepared, specifically in our hearts.

600
00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:52.540
And that's why it's really important

601
00:29:52.540 --> 00:29:55.260
that if there's nothing that you consciously know

602
00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:56.980
to do in this moment,

603
00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:59.460
that you just begin to pray in your prayer language.

604
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.360
15 minutes a day, set aside to do it, you're like, well, Jackie, that seems so contrived.

605
00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:10.080
It doesn't matter, it's supernatural.

606
00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:16.920
It doesn't matter if you intentionally do it, you should intentionally do it.

607
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:22.080
Paul the apostle says that you should intentionally do it, he said, I am so glad that I speak

608
00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:26.160
in tongues more than all y'all.

609
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:37.600
He said that, you guys, that's Bible, except for the all y'all.

610
00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:38.720
What is that?

611
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.280
That is spiritual bodybuilding, that's what that is, okay?

612
00:30:42.280 --> 00:30:49.280
That is where you are building up your spirit and once again, if you're freaked out by that,

613
00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:55.840
you don't really have any theology for it, then, you know, let us help you.

614
00:30:56.320 --> 00:31:00.400
There was a time in my life when that was true of me, I was freaked out by that.

615
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.800
I thought, I didn't just think it was weird, I also thought it was fake.

616
00:31:04.800 --> 00:31:06.800
I'm just going to be truly transparent.

617
00:31:06.800 --> 00:31:10.080
I didn't just think it was weird, I definitely thought it was weird, but I also thought it

618
00:31:10.080 --> 00:31:18.120
was not real, just people being weird, just period.

619
00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:21.200
It was weird and the people that were doing it were also weird because they were faking

620
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:26.000
it kind of thing until it happened to me.

621
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:32.800
I mean, it didn't just happen to me without my consent, but in a moment of time in my

622
00:31:32.800 --> 00:31:40.480
early 20s, I was invited in to that experience in my living room by my former husband because

623
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:48.080
he recognized, having grown up in a charismatic background, he recognized the signs of the

624
00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:54.160
infilling of the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in a prayer language.

625
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.480
He recognized those signs on me physically.

626
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:03.200
While we were praying in our living room at like two o'clock in the morning, I was in

627
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:09.360
the middle of a crisis, I was having some mental health and physical health issues,

628
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:16.560
and this is one of the, I think this is really interesting, but this is one of the times

629
00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:21.280
in my first marriage, now we were really young, you guys, and young people have a tendency

630
00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:28.080
to be selfish, but this was one of the times in my first marriage when my former husband

631
00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:30.640
showed a lot of compassion for my situation.

632
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.720
So it was in that moment of compassion when he was there, and once again, having been

633
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:41.840
raised in a charismatic environment, he recognized this and he said to me,

634
00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:48.640
why don't you just let Holy Spirit in?

635
00:32:50.080 --> 00:32:55.840
And I didn't know what that meant intellectually, okay, I didn't come from that type of background,

636
00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:01.360
I didn't have any of that teaching, I don't understand what that meant in my mind, but

637
00:33:01.360 --> 00:33:09.280
my heart resonated with it, and so I just remember in my mind, I just said to God, God,

638
00:33:09.600 --> 00:33:16.720
I really don't understand what's happening right now, but I surrender to you.

639
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.080
I said that in my mind to God, and as soon as I said that in my mind to God, the next

640
00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:26.320
time that I opened my physical mouth, I was no longer speaking English.

641
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:37.200
I was actually singing in this beautiful language that I had never heard before, singing in

642
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:43.760
it, you guys, and that doesn't happen like that for everyone, but what happens is that

643
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:49.280
whatever it is that you're saying, whatever it is that you're confessing, whatever sound

644
00:33:49.280 --> 00:33:54.720
is coming from your body is not coming in any way that you recognize.

645
00:33:56.080 --> 00:34:02.320
For some people, it's just syllables at first, and I had no intention of going this direction

646
00:34:02.320 --> 00:34:07.600
with this phone call, with this Supernatural Saturday, so I know that this is Holy Spirit.

647
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:17.199
No intention of talking about this. Sometimes it's just utterances, just utterances, just sounds,

648
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:27.920
just syllables. What is that? That is bypassing your human intellect and your spirit

649
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.960
speaking to the Spirit that created it,

650
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:40.800
and you guys, I can't explain to you the feeling that I had in that moment, but

651
00:34:42.560 --> 00:34:48.560
I think it felt a lot like heaven feels. I felt so free and so at peace because I told you I was

652
00:34:48.560 --> 00:34:54.400
in the middle of a crisis. I felt free. I felt at peace. I didn't just think everything was going

653
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.840
to be all right. I knew that everything was going to be all right in my heart. I felt seen.

654
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:15.200
and known and loved and held, I felt protected, there's joy in that moment, and I remember

655
00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:23.140
the next day I was like, hey, you know, like, how does this work?

656
00:35:23.140 --> 00:35:26.500
Like no one could ever take that moment away from me because it was supernatural, it was

657
00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:27.500
a miracle, right?

658
00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:29.180
It was a miracle.

659
00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:34.640
And so it was like, okay, I know this was real, I know that I wasn't faking it, there's

660
00:35:34.640 --> 00:35:39.600
no way I could have possibly faked this, you know?

661
00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:42.220
And I was like, so now what?

662
00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:43.220
Now what do I do?

663
00:35:43.220 --> 00:35:46.440
I just remember that I was looking in the mirror, I was combing my hair, I had to leave

664
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:51.680
my apartment, I was combing my hair, and I was looking in the mirror and I was just like,

665
00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:53.680
you know, God, when?

666
00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:55.160
Like, when?

667
00:35:55.160 --> 00:35:58.160
You know, how, when, like, is that it?

668
00:35:58.160 --> 00:36:03.080
Does it, does it happen more, you know, how, how do I, how does this happen?

669
00:36:03.080 --> 00:36:04.480
You know, kind of thing.

670
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.540
And I'm just kind of talking out loud to God and then all of a sudden I start speaking

671
00:36:08.540 --> 00:36:11.080
in my prayer language again.

672
00:36:11.080 --> 00:36:16.040
And I was like, oh, I control it.

673
00:36:16.040 --> 00:36:18.960
I control it.

674
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.960
This spirit is subject to me, I control it.

675
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:27.000
And you guys kind of like learning to ride a bike, you know?

676
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.680
Once you know, you know, but there's a few bumps along the way.

677
00:36:30.680 --> 00:36:38.320
There's some things that you have to kind of work through and work past, right?

678
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:41.960
But I can tell you that I do believe in this season of time that we're in, it's a very

679
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.960
supernatural season.

680
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.200
I don't know if you can feel it in your own life, guys, but it is.

681
00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:47.200
There's a lot of breakthrough.

682
00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:49.200
There's a lot of things happening.

683
00:36:49.200 --> 00:36:54.600
Remember I told you about the, now, you know, on seven year anniversary of us coming here,

684
00:36:54.600 --> 00:37:02.040
we found this place, we signed the lease, that's a full circle moment.

685
00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:06.880
And I want you to participate in this because I know that God has these moments for you.

686
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:12.320
Things that have seemed delayed, detours, maybe even long ones that you went on and

687
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:16.520
you don't feel like you ever actually made it to the destination that you set out to

688
00:37:16.520 --> 00:37:19.840
go to.

689
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.480
And for some of you, it's because God's taking you to a better destination.

690
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.080
You're not going to actually go to that destination.

691
00:37:24.080 --> 00:37:26.240
You're going to go to a better destination.

692
00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:29.640
You know, you set your GPS, try to go to some restaurant, but it's closed.

693
00:37:29.640 --> 00:37:33.200
It's permanently closed, but there's a better option.

694
00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:34.680
There's a better option.

695
00:37:34.680 --> 00:37:37.440
And for some of you, you're actually going to make it to your original destination.

696
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.440
You are going to make it there.

697
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.440
You are.

698
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:43.840
I just really feel in my spirit right now that someone set off to take a trip.

699
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.380
It's a trip that you always want to take all your life and something happened to keep you

700
00:37:47.380 --> 00:37:49.240
from taking that trip.

701
00:37:49.240 --> 00:37:54.600
There was some sort of distraction, there was some sort of destruction, disruption

702
00:37:54.600 --> 00:37:58.200
that caused that trip not to happen, kind of at the last minute.

703
00:37:58.200 --> 00:38:02.040
And you've never been able to go on that trip since, but God said, you're going to go on

704
00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:03.520
that trip this year.

705
00:38:03.520 --> 00:38:04.880
I know you don't even have it planned.

706
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:05.880
You don't have it booked.

707
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:09.960
You don't have the plane tickets purchased, but you're going to go on that trip this year.

708
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:10.960
You are.

709
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.080
You're going to go on that trip this year in 2025, not 2026.

710
00:38:13.080 --> 00:38:16.640
You're going to go this year.

711
00:38:16.640 --> 00:38:21.280
I plan to go to Brazil because I have all my materials translated into Portuguese and

712
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:24.400
God keeps highlighting Brazil to me.

713
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:28.600
And so a lot of times friends will put something off and, okay, I know I'm going to do that

714
00:38:28.600 --> 00:38:32.880
someday category and that's okay.

715
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.880
That's okay.

716
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:38.400
We don't really have any concrete plans, so we can't say when we're going to do it.

717
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:40.680
We just know that we need to do it or that we should do it.

718
00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:47.120
And so we put it off in that, okay, I'm going to do this sometime.

719
00:38:47.120 --> 00:38:50.600
But then people kept coming up to me and I kept getting words from strangers that I was

720
00:38:50.600 --> 00:38:51.600
going to go to Brazil.

721
00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:52.600
And I'm like, yeah, okay.

722
00:38:52.600 --> 00:38:53.600
All right.

723
00:38:53.600 --> 00:38:54.600
God, I hear you.

724
00:38:54.600 --> 00:38:55.600
I'm going to go to Brazil.

725
00:38:55.600 --> 00:38:57.940
Sometime I'm going to go to Brazil.

726
00:38:57.940 --> 00:39:03.080
And then the last person that I ran into, friends, he was just visiting America.

727
00:39:03.080 --> 00:39:07.200
He was at a business lunch that I went to at the very last minute.

728
00:39:07.200 --> 00:39:11.960
We ended up being a kind of, not assigned, but kind of becoming prayer partners at that

729
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.240
event because it was a Christian business lunch.

730
00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:17.160
And at the end, we're praying for each other.

731
00:39:17.160 --> 00:39:18.160
And I don't know her.

732
00:39:18.160 --> 00:39:19.160
I don't know her story.

733
00:39:19.160 --> 00:39:20.160
I know nothing about her.

734
00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:21.160
I haven't even talked to her yet.

735
00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:23.480
She wasn't even sitting at my table.

736
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:26.480
And I began to pray over her and I give her a word of knowledge.

737
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:30.100
I said, God is going to show you why you're here.

738
00:39:30.100 --> 00:39:32.560
You're asking in your spirit, why am I here?

739
00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:35.520
And God is going to show you why you're here.

740
00:39:35.520 --> 00:39:39.400
I had no idea that I was actually giving her that word.

741
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:46.320
And I also was the answer to that word because after she got a chance to talk, she told me,

742
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:48.000
I left Brazil.

743
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.840
I'm on vacation from my CEO job.

744
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.600
And I left Brazil and came to America because God told me to come here, but he didn't tell

745
00:39:54.600 --> 00:39:58.240
me why.

746
00:39:58.240 --> 00:39:59.960
She said, so I'm coming to Austin first.

747
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.840
and that I'm going to New York next.

748
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:03.680
And guess where I was going that next week?

749
00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:06.200
New York, for a singles conference.

750
00:40:06.200 --> 00:40:07.200
And guess where she was?

751
00:40:07.200 --> 00:40:08.160
Single.

752
00:40:08.160 --> 00:40:09.320
And guess where she was from?

753
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.160
Brazil.

754
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.520
And so then I said to her,

755
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:18.560
I said to her, well, this is what I'm doing,

756
00:40:18.560 --> 00:40:20.320
and so the word that I said to her,

757
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:23.040
God's about to show you why you're here,

758
00:40:23.040 --> 00:40:25.220
I was the reason why she was here.

759
00:40:27.040 --> 00:40:29.160
And then she hooked up with me in New York,

760
00:40:29.200 --> 00:40:32.080
up in New Jersey, she came to that singles conference,

761
00:40:32.080 --> 00:40:33.640
and then she came to me and she said,

762
00:40:33.640 --> 00:40:35.400
Jackie, I know that you're coming to Brazil,

763
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.640
but you're coming this year in 2025.

764
00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:40.560
Guys, I don't have any plans to go to Brazil in 2025.

765
00:40:40.560 --> 00:40:43.060
When I tell you that my year is kind of all plotted out,

766
00:40:43.060 --> 00:40:45.660
it is, but I believe that word is true.

767
00:40:45.660 --> 00:40:49.120
I believe I'm gonna go to Brazil this year in 2025

768
00:40:49.120 --> 00:40:50.840
to launch or to kick off,

769
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:54.540
to pull the lever,

770
00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:56.600
pull the lever, Cronk.

771
00:40:56.640 --> 00:40:59.640
I'm gonna pull the lever on Brazil this year in 2025.

772
00:40:59.640 --> 00:41:01.800
We're gonna do it, okay?

773
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:02.840
We're gonna do it.

774
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:03.680
Why?

775
00:41:03.680 --> 00:41:06.440
Because God's timing is not our timing,

776
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.520
and oftentimes God's timing is,

777
00:41:11.080 --> 00:41:12.380
it's a little squirrely.

778
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:15.680
It is.

779
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:19.400
The Bible even has a scripture about that,

780
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:23.640
about the well-laid plans of mice and men, okay?

781
00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:26.960
It talks about our plans.

782
00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:28.840
It says, you make your plans, that's great.

783
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:30.040
It doesn't say don't make plans.

784
00:41:30.040 --> 00:41:32.200
It says, that's great, make your plans.

785
00:41:32.200 --> 00:41:35.260
But then it says, but God orders your steps.

786
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:38.600
God orders your steps.

787
00:41:38.600 --> 00:41:40.760
God puts those plans in order.

788
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:43.280
God shows you what comes first, second, third, fourth, fifth.

789
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.280
God shows you what's priority.

790
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:49.280
God moves those feet in the direction that you need to go

791
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:50.220
when you need to go,

792
00:41:50.220 --> 00:41:52.860
regardless of what your well-laid plan said.

793
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.340
If you allow him to.

794
00:41:57.520 --> 00:41:58.840
If you allow him to.

795
00:41:59.720 --> 00:42:01.480
In that same season I was talking about

796
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:06.240
where I experienced that beautiful gift

797
00:42:06.240 --> 00:42:07.360
of my prayer language.

798
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.160
In that same season, like I told you,

799
00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:10.920
I was going through a lot of stuff.

800
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.000
And all kinds of things kept popping up

801
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:16.840
in my heart and in my spirit.

802
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:20.360
After that moment in my living room,

803
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:22.120
I started getting spiritual insight

804
00:42:22.120 --> 00:42:23.680
that I had never had before.

805
00:42:24.600 --> 00:42:26.680
Now, I don't want you to mistake what I'm saying.

806
00:42:26.680 --> 00:42:30.860
Holy Spirit is with you and he is in you.

807
00:42:30.860 --> 00:42:34.760
But this gift has a tendency to give a lot of revelation.

808
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.960
Okay?

809
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.760
And so I really want you to ask God for that gift.

810
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:42.420
And I don't want you, and the Bible says through Paul,

811
00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:45.560
the Bible says through Paul

812
00:42:45.560 --> 00:42:47.800
that we should cover these gifts earnestly,

813
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:50.580
which means that we should really want them.

814
00:42:51.580 --> 00:42:54.580
We should really want them because we need them.

815
00:42:54.580 --> 00:42:55.900
These are tools in your tool belt

816
00:42:55.900 --> 00:42:57.420
that you can't go without.

817
00:42:57.420 --> 00:42:58.780
So I started to have revelation.

818
00:42:58.780 --> 00:43:00.500
And one of the revelations that I had

819
00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:03.460
was about the verse in Proverbs that says,

820
00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:05.660
trust in the Lord with all your heart

821
00:43:05.660 --> 00:43:07.580
and lean not to your own understanding,

822
00:43:07.580 --> 00:43:11.300
but in all your ways, that includes your plans,

823
00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:14.220
acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

824
00:43:16.740 --> 00:43:18.100
He will direct your path.

825
00:43:18.100 --> 00:43:20.100
And so I started on a crazy adventure with God

826
00:43:20.260 --> 00:43:22.260
that you guys, I've never gotten off of.

827
00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:26.180
From that moment in my living room to now,

828
00:43:26.180 --> 00:43:30.140
I have been on a ride that has never stopped

829
00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:33.980
with all kinds of twists and turns

830
00:43:33.980 --> 00:43:36.980
and just me yelling shotgun

831
00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:38.820
and getting in the passenger seat

832
00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:41.580
and allowing God to take me places

833
00:43:41.580 --> 00:43:43.580
and to do things that are outside

834
00:43:43.580 --> 00:43:45.740
of what I would consider my real house,

835
00:43:45.740 --> 00:43:48.380
things that I'm not qualified to do,

836
00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:52.540
accepting positions that I never had any schooling for,

837
00:43:52.540 --> 00:43:54.660
doing all kinds of crazy things.

838
00:43:54.660 --> 00:43:58.940
And I do not believe that I'm the anomaly, I don't.

839
00:43:58.940 --> 00:44:00.180
I do not believe this is just

840
00:44:00.180 --> 00:44:02.340
Jackie's crazy supernatural life.

841
00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:04.340
I believe that this is the life

842
00:44:04.340 --> 00:44:06.260
that every believer can have.

843
00:44:06.260 --> 00:44:08.500
Guys, there's eight plus billion people in the world

844
00:44:08.500 --> 00:44:10.140
and there's not that many of us.

845
00:44:12.780 --> 00:44:14.940
And there's not going to be more of us

846
00:44:15.220 --> 00:44:20.220
unless more of us start pushing past the detour signs

847
00:44:20.340 --> 00:44:22.500
and saying, hey, this might be a detour

848
00:44:22.500 --> 00:44:23.500
but it's not a dead end.

849
00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:25.260
And so that's the last D word.

850
00:44:25.260 --> 00:44:28.580
A dead end is a position or a situation

851
00:44:29.420 --> 00:44:31.140
where the course of action

852
00:44:32.300 --> 00:44:35.060
that would lead to something further is blocked.

853
00:44:40.540 --> 00:44:42.060
You're in a place, you're in a position,

854
00:44:42.060 --> 00:44:43.980
you're in a situation where it doesn't look like

855
00:44:44.020 --> 00:44:45.420
you can get there from here.

856
00:44:52.180 --> 00:44:53.020
Right?

857
00:44:54.780 --> 00:44:58.300
Doesn't look like you can get there from here.

858
00:44:58.300 --> 00:45:00.900
This course of action that you're in

859
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.800
you've been taking, it doesn't lead to anything further.

860
00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:03.660
is a dead end, it's a dead end.

861
00:45:03.660 --> 00:45:06.260
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.

862
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.040
But that's okay, because maybe you don't need

863
00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:09.100
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.

864
00:45:07.040 --> 00:45:09.200
to be taking that course of action anymore.

865
00:45:09.100 --> 00:45:11.940
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.

866
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:13.480
And if you find yourself at a bunch of dead ends in life,

867
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.360
that's okay, because God has a different plan.

868
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.280
He has a different plan.

869
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:24.780
There's a new course of action.

870
00:45:24.780 --> 00:45:29.780
And a lot of times what looks like a dead end

871
00:45:30.020 --> 00:45:33.480
is not a dead end, it's just simply a delay or a detour.

872
00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:38.460
But we're not gonna know the difference

873
00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:40.060
if we just look at it in the natural.

874
00:45:40.060 --> 00:45:41.620
And that's really the point

875
00:45:41.620 --> 00:45:43.740
of this whole Supernatural Saturday.

876
00:45:43.740 --> 00:45:48.100
God wants us to be able to see things with spiritual eyes.

877
00:45:51.300 --> 00:45:53.900
He wants us to be able to see things with spiritual eyes.

878
00:45:53.900 --> 00:45:55.820
Look how many times in the word of God

879
00:45:55.820 --> 00:45:58.380
it looked like they were at a dead end.

880
00:45:59.660 --> 00:46:02.740
Surrounded on every side by armies.

881
00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:05.860
Right?

882
00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:07.980
Locked in cities, there's nothing to eat,

883
00:46:07.980 --> 00:46:09.280
there's nowhere to go.

884
00:46:13.780 --> 00:46:17.500
Backed into a corner between a big huge sea

885
00:46:17.500 --> 00:46:19.860
and a approaching army.

886
00:46:21.500 --> 00:46:23.180
Look at all the times.

887
00:46:24.540 --> 00:46:27.160
There's so many stories, there's so many times.

888
00:46:28.980 --> 00:46:32.140
What seemed like a dead end, it wasn't, was it?

889
00:46:32.140 --> 00:46:34.180
It was just an opportunity for a miracle.

890
00:46:36.380 --> 00:46:37.940
It was just an opportunity

891
00:46:37.940 --> 00:46:42.100
for a supernatural word of knowledge to come,

892
00:46:42.100 --> 00:46:45.900
hold out your staff, part the seas.

893
00:46:47.300 --> 00:46:49.780
Oh, you're in the desert, there's nothing to drink,

894
00:46:49.780 --> 00:46:54.220
strike that rock with that stick in your hand.

895
00:46:58.900 --> 00:47:03.260
We need supernatural direction

896
00:47:04.380 --> 00:47:09.380
to overcome detours, delays, and dead ends.

897
00:47:11.780 --> 00:47:13.140
And God has it for us.

898
00:47:14.140 --> 00:47:19.140
Very often, my Siri that comes through my GPS on my iPhone,

899
00:47:19.660 --> 00:47:21.940
when I've set on a course

900
00:47:21.940 --> 00:47:25.500
and I have my GPS programmed to take me there,

901
00:47:25.500 --> 00:47:28.580
it will tell me that there's a better route available.

902
00:47:31.140 --> 00:47:36.140
Often, it warns me that there's traffic ahead,

903
00:47:37.020 --> 00:47:38.820
there's a car accident ahead,

904
00:47:38.820 --> 00:47:40.900
there's some sort of construction ahead

905
00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:43.100
that's causing a detour or delay.

906
00:47:43.100 --> 00:47:45.380
If you wanna get to where you're going, Jackie,

907
00:47:45.380 --> 00:47:47.140
there's a better route available.

908
00:47:47.140 --> 00:47:52.140
Sure, you can sit here in traffic if you want to,

909
00:47:53.180 --> 00:47:55.620
or you can go off the beaten path.

910
00:47:55.620 --> 00:47:58.900
You can go away that you weren't planning to go.

911
00:48:02.340 --> 00:48:04.940
A less direct route, but a better route.

912
00:48:04.940 --> 00:48:07.260
Does everyone feel that in their spirit?

913
00:48:07.260 --> 00:48:08.740
It's a less direct route,

914
00:48:08.740 --> 00:48:10.060
less direct route,

915
00:48:10.060 --> 00:48:12.260
but it's actually for this season in your life,

916
00:48:12.260 --> 00:48:13.180
a better route.

917
00:48:14.420 --> 00:48:15.900
It's a better route to take.

918
00:48:20.300 --> 00:48:21.940
There were so many times in my life

919
00:48:21.940 --> 00:48:23.460
that I made it to a destination

920
00:48:23.460 --> 00:48:25.980
and I did not go the traditional way to get there.

921
00:48:29.860 --> 00:48:31.660
I did not go the traditional way.

922
00:48:35.180 --> 00:48:37.340
And you know what God showed me by that?

923
00:48:37.340 --> 00:48:39.580
He proved to me that you don't have to take

924
00:48:39.580 --> 00:48:43.460
the traditional route to get to the place.

925
00:48:45.900 --> 00:48:48.500
I remember sitting in the guidance counselor's office

926
00:48:48.500 --> 00:48:50.980
of a very expensive private college

927
00:48:50.980 --> 00:48:55.980
that had a very prestigious broadcasting program.

928
00:48:57.380 --> 00:48:58.780
It was gonna cost a lot of money

929
00:48:58.780 --> 00:49:00.540
and I was gonna have to take out student loans

930
00:49:00.540 --> 00:49:02.580
and I was 32 years old

931
00:49:02.580 --> 00:49:04.300
and I felt like God was calling me

932
00:49:04.300 --> 00:49:06.460
to go into television at the time.

933
00:49:06.460 --> 00:49:07.580
And I was sitting there

934
00:49:07.580 --> 00:49:09.220
and even though this was the route

935
00:49:09.220 --> 00:49:11.940
that people take to go into TV

936
00:49:11.940 --> 00:49:14.260
and this piece of paper from this school

937
00:49:14.260 --> 00:49:16.580
would have been very prestigious

938
00:49:16.580 --> 00:49:21.180
in starting a career in broadcasting or in television.

939
00:49:21.180 --> 00:49:22.220
As I sat there,

940
00:49:22.220 --> 00:49:25.900
I knew that even though this is the preferred route,

941
00:49:25.900 --> 00:49:30.900
that this is the route that people would counsel you

942
00:49:31.220 --> 00:49:33.180
to take that it was not the route.

943
00:49:34.180 --> 00:49:35.980
It wasn't the route for me to take.

944
00:49:37.500 --> 00:49:39.460
It's the traditional route for sure,

945
00:49:40.660 --> 00:49:43.460
but it wasn't the route that God had for me.

946
00:49:43.460 --> 00:49:46.100
And instead he had me do a couple other things

947
00:49:46.100 --> 00:49:49.060
and you know what ended up happening in this story?

948
00:49:49.060 --> 00:49:51.860
Is I ended up getting a job in television

949
00:49:51.860 --> 00:49:56.420
as a general manager of a small TV network in the Midwest.

950
00:49:56.420 --> 00:49:58.140
That is a job that people don't get

951
00:49:58.140 --> 00:50:00.540
until they have been working in the business.

952
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.900
in the industry for at least 11 to 15 years.

953
00:50:02.900 --> 00:50:04.620
I got it after nine months.

954
00:50:09.660 --> 00:50:11.700
I was on an accelerated track.

955
00:50:14.780 --> 00:50:18.060
Now, did I fully understand how to do that job?

956
00:50:18.060 --> 00:50:20.460
No, but God also knew that I was available

957
00:50:20.460 --> 00:50:21.660
for some downloads.

958
00:50:24.340 --> 00:50:26.540
Not knowing how to do something is never the problem.

959
00:50:26.540 --> 00:50:28.740
Write that on your piece of paper.

960
00:50:28.740 --> 00:50:32.820
You not knowing how to do something will never be

961
00:50:32.820 --> 00:50:34.820
what keeps you from being successful.

962
00:50:38.260 --> 00:50:40.780
The only thing that will keep you from being successful

963
00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:42.780
is not being willing to do it anyway.

964
00:50:48.420 --> 00:50:49.420
The information will come.

965
00:50:49.420 --> 00:50:50.580
The revelation will come.

966
00:50:50.580 --> 00:50:54.640
The people that you need to help you will come.

967
00:50:55.640 --> 00:50:58.240
It doesn't matter what you don't know.

968
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.900
You're connected to the one that knows everything.

969
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.120
All that matters is you say yes.

970
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.520
I remember the day that the president of the TV network

971
00:51:15.520 --> 00:51:17.520
called me on the phone.

972
00:51:17.520 --> 00:51:20.160
I thought he was gonna hire me to be a sales manager,

973
00:51:21.080 --> 00:51:24.280
a media buyer, something along those lines.

974
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:25.800
People are always trying to put me in sales

975
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.320
because I have a bold personality.

976
00:51:31.080 --> 00:51:32.120
And he said to me, he said,

977
00:51:32.120 --> 00:51:33.960
Jackie, I thought about it long and hard.

978
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:37.080
First of all, thanks for coming and touring the network

979
00:51:37.080 --> 00:51:38.760
and we really love you.

980
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:40.840
We want you to work with us.

981
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:43.600
And I thought about it long and hard.

982
00:51:43.600 --> 00:51:47.400
And the only job that I can see you doing

983
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:49.720
is the job of our general manager.

984
00:51:49.720 --> 00:51:50.600
That's what he said to me.

985
00:51:50.640 --> 00:51:53.320
The only job I can see you doing

986
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:56.200
is the job of our general manager.

987
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:01.080
I was like, excuse me, what?

988
00:52:03.560 --> 00:52:06.520
And you guys, a lot of times we'll try to argue ourselves

989
00:52:06.520 --> 00:52:08.200
out of some kind of promotion like,

990
00:52:08.200 --> 00:52:10.000
oh, I'm not qualified for that

991
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:11.280
or I don't know how to do that.

992
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:12.800
And that kind of was my posture.

993
00:52:12.800 --> 00:52:13.640
I have to be honest.

994
00:52:13.640 --> 00:52:18.280
I was like, yeah, I mean, I just kind of hemmed and hawed.

995
00:52:18.600 --> 00:52:20.880
I didn't really know what to say in that moment.

996
00:52:20.880 --> 00:52:23.320
I was not expecting that.

997
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.000
And yet inside my heart,

998
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.880
I knew that it just needed to be a yes.

999
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:30.400
It was intimidating.

1000
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.320
Guys, it's okay.

1001
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:38.760
Don't say no to things just because they intimidate you.

1002
00:52:41.120 --> 00:52:43.760
Allow yourself to be stretched.

1003
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.320
Allow yourself to be stretched.

1004
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:47.520
Don't say no just because it's intimidating.

1005
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.720
Promotions should be intimidating.

1006
00:52:51.720 --> 00:52:53.120
They should be challenging.

1007
00:52:55.040 --> 00:52:58.240
Once again, you are going to get past a lot

1008
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:01.680
of these distractions, disruptions,

1009
00:53:01.680 --> 00:53:04.920
even the destructions that are planned by the enemy,

1010
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.320
the detours, the delays, the dead ends.

1011
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:08.160
By what?

1012
00:53:08.160 --> 00:53:11.000
By having a supernatural upgrade.

1013
00:53:13.640 --> 00:53:14.480
Okay?

1014
00:53:15.680 --> 00:53:17.240
By having a supernatural upgrade.

1015
00:53:17.240 --> 00:53:18.840
So once again, I did not plan

1016
00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:21.680
about talking about prayer languages,

1017
00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:24.320
but if you want to be activated in your prayer language,

1018
00:53:24.320 --> 00:53:26.200
maybe you haven't used it in a really long time,

1019
00:53:26.200 --> 00:53:28.320
you feel like it's a little rusty,

1020
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:32.040
or you've never been activated in your prayer language,

1021
00:53:32.040 --> 00:53:35.920
right, go and read in scripture about it.

1022
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.240
Read about the gifts of the spirit, okay?

1023
00:53:39.240 --> 00:53:40.240
Go read that.

1024
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:43.360
And then come tomorrow night,

1025
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:50.760
and we're going to activate you there.

1026
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:51.960
Once again, I had no idea

1027
00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:54.760
that this Supernatural Saturday was gonna be about this,

1028
00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:57.520
but it's really important that we go ahead

1029
00:53:57.520 --> 00:54:00.240
and follow after what Holy Spirit is saying to us.

1030
00:54:00.240 --> 00:54:02.360
So go read about them in 1 Corinthians 12.

1031
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:05.200
Go read about the gifts of the spirit, okay?

1032
00:54:05.200 --> 00:54:07.240
And then tomorrow night,

1033
00:54:07.240 --> 00:54:09.880
if you want a little bit more teaching

1034
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:14.360
and then some activation, then come, all right?

1035
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:17.040
And if you don't, then maybe skip tomorrow's activation,

1036
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:18.640
because that's what it's gonna be about.

1037
00:54:18.640 --> 00:54:20.120
I've just decided just now,

1038
00:54:20.120 --> 00:54:23.120
because I believe that this is what God is saying to do.

1039
00:54:23.120 --> 00:54:27.160
And so if you want a little priming the pump on that gift,

1040
00:54:27.160 --> 00:54:28.520
come tomorrow night,

1041
00:54:28.520 --> 00:54:31.040
and or you just want to receive it for the first time,

1042
00:54:31.040 --> 00:54:31.960
come tomorrow night.

1043
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.840
I really honestly think the best place to receive it

1044
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:35.360
is at home in your living room,

1045
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.520
because that's really how I received it.

1046
00:54:37.520 --> 00:54:40.360
So you can turn off your camera tomorrow night.

1047
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:42.640
You can just be on your own listening

1048
00:54:42.640 --> 00:54:46.280
and receiving what is being said,

1049
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:51.280
and being able to, you know, transition into that,

1050
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:53.840
but privately, right?

1051
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:55.160
Because this, guys, just so you know,

1052
00:54:55.160 --> 00:54:56.880
this gift is for your private use.

1053
00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:58.480
That's what it's for.

1054
00:54:58.480 --> 00:54:59.880
I know a lot of churches,

1055
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.440
a lot of crazy things publicly, and I'm not going to judge those places.

1056
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:10.080
I am going to say that this is for your private exhortation, edification, and strengthening.

1057
00:55:10.080 --> 00:55:11.080
That is what it's for.

1058
00:55:11.080 --> 00:55:14.200
It's for your private revelation, and insight, and wisdom.

1059
00:55:14.200 --> 00:55:16.400
That is what it's for, okay?

1060
00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:19.280
And so, yeah, we'll do that tomorrow.

1061
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:23.360
So, Father God, we thank you that you make our hearts willing to be made willing in the

1062
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:25.120
day of your power.

1063
00:55:25.120 --> 00:55:28.840
And so, Lord, we thank you, God, that as we go about the rest of this day, you're going

1064
00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:31.460
to be drawing us to yourself.

1065
00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:35.760
You're going to be showing us that there are tools that we need that you have provided

1066
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:41.160
for us, gifts that we need that you have provided for us in order to live a supernatural life,

1067
00:55:41.160 --> 00:55:45.520
in order for us to have clarity and insight in what you're doing in our life, and in order

1068
00:55:45.520 --> 00:55:51.840
for us to have a supernatural boldness that we need to be witnesses in this day and age.

1069
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:55.760
And so, Lord, we thank you for these gifts, specifically Holy Spirit, and we're asking

1070
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:01.080
that you would help us to overcome any kind of blocks that we have, anything that would

1071
00:56:01.080 --> 00:56:07.520
cause us to want to shy away from this, or shy away from you in this way, and these upgrades

1072
00:56:07.520 --> 00:56:09.840
that we can and should have, Lord.

1073
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:14.160
If there's any kind of abuse that's happened in our past spiritually, if there's any kinds

1074
00:56:14.160 --> 00:56:18.440
of nonsense that's happened, Lord, God, I pray that you would just bring that stuff

1075
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:24.160
to order in our spirits, in our hearts, that we'd be able to trust again in order to step

1076
00:56:24.160 --> 00:56:27.800
into these deeper levels of life in the Spirit.

1077
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:28.800
In Jesus' name, amen.

1078
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:29.800
All right, love y'all.

1079
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:30.800
Have a supernatural Saturday.

1080
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:30.800
