WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.400 Hey friends, before you start this journey together, I want to tell you something really 2 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:08.720 important. 3 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:14.880 When two people decide to heal, grow, and soften together, heaven celebrates. 4 00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.460 Let me also be real with you. 5 00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:20.720 That's when hell gets a little bit nervous because a healed individual is very powerful, 6 00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.420 but a healed couple, a unified, connected, set free couple, that's an unstoppable force. 7 00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:32.259 So before you begin the heart work for couples, I want to prepare you for what you might feel 8 00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:33.620 along the way. 9 00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:36.740 Around here, we don't just feel the feels, we heal the feels. 10 00:00:36.740 --> 00:00:40.100 So I'm not trying to scare you, but I want to make sure that nothing catches you off 11 00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:41.100 guard. 12 00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:44.020 So here are some things that you might start to feel. 13 00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:48.740 Old emotions, old patterns, old fears, they might start to come to the surface. 14 00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:50.820 We call that the revealing for healing. 15 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:54.700 And sometimes you might even feel a little irritated or frustrated at your mate, at your 16 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:55.700 partner. 17 00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.220 But I want to remind you, your partner's not the problem. 18 00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:02.540 Healing is stirring up all the things that you've tucked away and kept hidden for years 19 00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:03.540 and years. 20 00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:04.980 And let me tell you the truth. 21 00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:09.220 The enemy's favorite weapon against couples is not chaos, it's silence. 22 00:01:09.220 --> 00:01:10.220 It's secrecy. 23 00:01:10.220 --> 00:01:11.420 It's isolation. 24 00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:14.660 It's that quiet lie that whispers, deal with this alone. 25 00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:15.660 Don't say anything. 26 00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:16.800 Don't be honest. 27 00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:18.300 Don't bring it into the light. 28 00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:20.020 But this journey is going to do the opposite. 29 00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:25.340 It's going to bring things into the light gently and safely, but with lots and lots 30 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:26.340 of hope. 31 00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:29.740 And the moment things come into the light, the enemy loses his power. 32 00:01:29.740 --> 00:01:32.220 You may experience distractions during this time together. 33 00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:33.900 You may suddenly feel too busy. 34 00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:38.980 Random arguments may pop up and you might feel the urge to just shut down, withdraw. 35 00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:44.900 You may feel vulnerable, even exposed at moments, but none of that means it isn't working. 36 00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:47.480 In fact, it actually means it is working. 37 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.880 Healing will always disrupt what's been hurting you. 38 00:01:49.940 --> 00:01:53.360 And freedom will always confront what's been binding you. 39 00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:58.280 And so the light is here to reveal the darkness and all the things that have been trying to 40 00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.280 hide on the inside. 41 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.360 Because we're never stuck on the outside, only the inside. 42 00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:06.240 And so if you stay tender, you stay honest, you stay in agreement, you stay aligned, even 43 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:10.039 when you don't feel like it, you're going to experience something beautiful. 44 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.040 Your hearts are going to start to soften. 45 00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:13.840 Your connection is going to deepen. 46 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.000 Your communication is going to get more and more clear. 47 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.040 You're going to feel safer. 48 00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:20.000 Your passion is going to reignite. 49 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.000 Your vision will align. 50 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.560 And you'll remember why God brought you together in the first place. 51 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.280 If you've been married for five minutes or 50 years, this process isn't going to be perfect. 52 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.840 This is going to be a journey that's for everyone, as long as you're willing to show up, willing 53 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.680 to listen, willing to heal, and just willing to begin. 54 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:41.960 So take a deep breath, go ahead and take each other's hands and welcome the heartwork into 55 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:43.400 your life. 56 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.680 So welcome to the Heartwork for Couples. 57 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.120 I am here on this journey with you and I cannot wait to see what God restores, what 58 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.880 He rebuilds, and what He resurrects in your relationship. 59 00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:53.400 Let's heal together. 60 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:53.720 Let's go.
