1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
All right.

2
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:06.680
Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

3
00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:11.320
If you're new and this is your very first Supernatural Saturday, please raise your hand.

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.440
I would love to see who has never been here before.

5
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:16.180
You've just joined the program.

6
00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:18.920
This is your first time with us on Saturday.

7
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.920
Anybody, anybody new?

8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.320
All OGs in here, huh?

9
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.000
About 87 people, 88 live right now.

10
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.840
We are starting about a minute early.

11
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:32.040
I know everyone rolls in here at the buzzer.

12
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:33.040
That's fine.

13
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.040
All right.

14
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:36.960
For those people that are going to be getting on and that are brand new to Supernatural

15
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.700
Saturday, welcome.

16
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.600
We are so glad to have you with us.

17
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.920
This is my favorite time of the week where we get to come together as a community and

18
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:45.920
look to the Lord.

19
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.560
We get to look to the Lord together, and there's so much power in that.

20
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.700
The Bible talks about what happens when people come into unity.

21
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:59.600
Over and over and over again, it talks about what happens when people come into unity.

22
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:02.680
It talks about how there's a blessing there that's commanded.

23
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:05.160
It says the blessing is commanded where there's unity.

24
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:08.320
Is that powerful?

25
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:12.720
It's not just, oh, maybe there's a blessing or, you know, there might be a blessing.

26
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:16.440
No, God commands a blessing.

27
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.640
He commands it where there's unity.

28
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.680
And so we come in here, we're of the same mind, we're of the same spirit.

29
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.840
We're looking up to the same Father and asking for what?

30
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:28.840
Divine revelation.

31
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.800
We're asking for the same thing.

32
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.360
And so there's such power in that.

33
00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:34.380
And so that's what we do on Saturdays.

34
00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:40.800
We come here and I usually am the leader of Supernatural Saturday, but there's a lot of

35
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.920
audience participation and we just press in.

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.760
We press in together and we ask God to tell us, what is the current prophetic reality

37
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.520
of heaven?

38
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.560
Every single one of you has a different reality going on in your life right now.

39
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.160
None of our realities are the same.

40
00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:03.040
None of our circumstances, none of the details of our lives are the same right now.

41
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.880
We might have some similar details, but somewhere along the line of your details, there's going

42
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.000
to be a detail that somebody else doesn't have.

43
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.120
But all of our realities are not compared to the reality of heaven.

44
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.760
We want to live in the reality of heaven.

45
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.360
We don't want to live in our individual realities because truth, not relative truth, but absolute

46
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.720
truth always trumps facts.

47
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:31.240
Amen.

48
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:36.080
Absolute truth always is greater than whatever your reality is, whatever your facts are.

49
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.180
Everyone here has facts today.

50
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:41.400
Some of you might have a fact that you're single.

51
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.400
Okay.

52
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.400
That's a fact.

53
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.080
But the truth is that you've been created for partnership.

54
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.720
That means that if God spoke the end from the beginning, aren't you already married?

55
00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.000
And I don't mean to Jesus.

56
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.000
That's a wonderful one.

57
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.000
Yes.

58
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.800
And we're all going to enjoy that throughout eternity, but you are not married to Jesus

59
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.800
on earth.

60
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.960
There's some crazy theology floating around that we're all already married to Jesus.

61
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.280
When Jesus came, the covenant that he brought made us all married to him.

62
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.200
And so now we don't have to be part of the old covenant where we married each other.

63
00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:15.200
What?

64
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:22.680
First of all, marriage came from the garden, not from the old cursed covenant didn't come

65
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.700
from the blood covenants because of sin.

66
00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:26.700
It came from the garden.

67
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:29.400
It came from original design.

68
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.480
God made them.

69
00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:31.480
He made them male.

70
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:32.480
He made them female.

71
00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:33.600
He brought them together.

72
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:37.760
He partnered them because two are better than one because they're better together because

73
00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:42.640
man, it was not good for him to be solitary or alone.

74
00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:46.400
So if you're hearing this theology, please kick it out.

75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.920
I know it sounds spiritual and so much of stinking thinking in the church does sound

76
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:59.060
spiritual and it'd be easy to adopt it, but it's going to keep you stuck.

77
00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:01.660
It's going to keep you stuck.

78
00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:05.920
And we don't want to be stuck because I believe that we're in a season of harvest.

79
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:08.640
I a little bit later today, I hope all of you signed up.

80
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:12.180
If you didn't go to the resource pages on your app and you'll see where you can sign

81
00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:13.720
up for the wisdom challenge.

82
00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:16.459
I'm the guest today on the wisdom challenge right after this.

83
00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:20.940
So I'll be leaving here a little early to go over there.

84
00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:25.740
And my proverb that I've been assigned because it's the 10th day of January is Proverbs 10.

85
00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:29.860
And one of the scriptures in Proverbs 10, and I'm reading from the passion translation

86
00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:37.420
is know the importance of the season that you're in and a wise son you will be.

87
00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:38.420
Guess what?

88
00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:41.460
All of you are in a season of partnership.

89
00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:42.460
That's why you're here.

90
00:04:42.460 --> 00:04:44.980
Now, that doesn't mean it's going to happen next week or next month.

91
00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.740
It just means you're in a season of it.

92
00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:52.380
For those of you that showed up and signed up to be in the times and seasons that we

93
00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:59.540
did on January 4th with prophet Bethany Hicks, we learned that you can have different seasons

94
00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:00.040
in different areas.

95
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000
areas of your life. You can be in a summer season in your

96
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.420
business. You can be in a fall season, raising your kids, maybe

97
00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.840
even a winter season where they've gone off and now they're

98
00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:14.040
starting their own families and you feel like you're an empty

99
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.840
nest. You might kind of feel a little barren because what was

100
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:21.680
there is now not there. But you friends, I just want to let you

101
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.720
know you're never empty. Empty is an invitation. Empty is an

102
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.000
invitation to be filled. It's okay to have an empty space.

103
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.360
That's just giving God an invitation to fill that space.

104
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.080
So when kids grow up, they go off to college, they get married,

105
00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:40.640
they start their own households. Yes. Our mothers and fathers

106
00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:43.600
hearts really do hurt a little bit because we know that it will

107
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.240
never be the same again. And it won't. It'll be different. But

108
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.720
it can still be good. It can it can be different and good. Those

109
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.240
two things can be synonyms. Right? In some ways, it's even

110
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.560
better. Because now they're not eating all the food in your

111
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.560
fridge. Now they're not running up the light bill, leaving all

112
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.720
the lights on. Turn up the heat, turn up the air conditioning,

113
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.200
doing all the things that they do. They're not on your car

114
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:21.680
insurance anymore. They're not on your phone bill anymore. So

115
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.520
there can be some positive benefits to them having their

116
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:27.840
own lives. Right. And also one of the positive benefits is that

117
00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:29.880
they start to have families of their own. And they realize that

118
00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:34.040
you weren't so stupid after all. They realize that you weren't so

119
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.960
backwards or old fashioned after all, they realized that maybe

120
00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:40.440
you actually kind of knew some things. And so they started

121
00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:44.320
having a greater appreciation, hopefully for you in a lot of

122
00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:48.240
ways. So it's telling us to know our seasons and then we'll be

123
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.400
wise. Know your seasons and you will be wise. And I love that. I

124
00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:56.240
love that. So we need to know the season that we're in and all

125
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.840
of us are in a season of partnership. We're at different

126
00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:03.560
levels of that manifesting in our lives, but we're at a season

127
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.560
of that. And God wants us to understand that. And that's

128
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.000
what's so beautiful about this community and about even

129
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.720
Supernatural Saturday is we're coming in here in unity with

130
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.720
each other, understanding the season that we're in together.

131
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.360
Because you know what happens out there outside of this

132
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.440
community, you may have friends and family members that don't

133
00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:30.080
understand your desire for partnership. They don't

134
00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:34.040
understand your desire for marriage. They think you should

135
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.320
be over it by now. Some of you have already been married

136
00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:41.400
before. They're like, Hey, didn't you learn your lesson

137
00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:45.200
the first time? It's so funny, the things that people will say

138
00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:50.600
to us out of concern for us. And that's what today's

139
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.480
Supernatural Saturday is going to be about. But I want to go

140
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.560
back to how, you know, it's really important as we come

141
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:06.840
together, you know, that we know heaven's reality for us. So you

142
00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:09.520
might have a fact that you're single, but the truth, the

143
00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.920
absolute truth is that you've been created for partnership.

144
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.080
Another absolute truth in that area is that God gives us the

145
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:19.200
desires of our heart when we delight in him, which means the

146
00:08:19.200 --> 00:08:21.320
desires that are in your heart right now, as you've been

147
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.560
delighting in the Lord came from God, they didn't come from you.

148
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:28.120
They came from God. So that's another part of absolute truth,

149
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.000
because that's scripture and scripture is the absolute truth.

150
00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:34.080
Now we can't take scriptures and just make them mean whatever we

151
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.520
want them to mean. Can't just slap a scripture on it and make

152
00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:41.080
it mean what we want it to mean. But that is actually what that

153
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.480
scripture means. If you dig down into the ancient language that

154
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.440
that scripture is written in, it's saying when you delight in

155
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.360
the Lord, that word delight actually means consummation. So

156
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.720
that's the same thing that would happen when a husband and wife

157
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:59.080
come together in passion and in intimacy, physical intimacy, and

158
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:04.800
they produce conception happens and they have a seed that is

159
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:09.600
sown into the womb of the woman. When you delight in the Lord,

160
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.720
when you're intimate with him, when you allow him into your

161
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:20.000
heart, what happens in that process is a consummation of

162
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.160
sorts where what is conceived in your heart space is desire, not

163
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:29.400
just for him, but for all kinds of different things, the desires

164
00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:33.760
of your heart. And that's where that seed is sown from. And then

165
00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:37.920
that seed begins to grow as you water it. And then God's the one

166
00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:42.600
that gives the increase. Conception is a mystery. The

167
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.280
Bible says conception is a mystery. How that happens is a

168
00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:48.880
mystery. That's a very supernatural situation when we

169
00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:51.720
become impregnated with things, whether it's with human

170
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.560
children, or whether it's with the dreams of our heart, it's a

171
00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:58.920
supernatural kind of situation. But what happens after that is

172
00:09:58.920 --> 00:09:59.840
up to us.

173
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.440
Are we going to water that?

174
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.600
Are we going to be around people that water those seeds?

175
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.600
So those seeds can grow.

176
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:12.120
Are we going to be around information that continues to reinforce that dream, that dream

177
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:17.840
most going to start out as a tiny, tiny, tiny little thought you guys all dreams.

178
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:24.480
They all start out as a tiny thought, just a little one.

179
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:32.120
Have you ever just been driving down the street and all of a sudden you saw something, whether

180
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:42.000
it was a billboard or whether it was somebody else doing something that made sense to you.

181
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:48.320
Maybe you drove by some kind of public event or whatever, doesn't matter.

182
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.560
Have you ever been anywhere walking down the street, driving down the street, walking through

183
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:57.000
the mall does, you know, walking through a convention center at work, walking through

184
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.000
an office building.

185
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.080
Have you ever been anywhere and the thought just crossed your mind?

186
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.080
Wow.

187
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.560
I wonder what it would be like to do that.

188
00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:08.360
Anybody, come on y'all.

189
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.520
I'm pulling for your dreams this morning.

190
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:14.320
Raise your hand if you've ever had the thought, hi, I wonder what that's like.

191
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.560
I wonder what it'd be like to do that.

192
00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:19.480
What do I want to be like to have that job?

193
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.480
Wow.

194
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.040
I really liked that outfit.

195
00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:25.160
I wonder where they got it.

196
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:32.840
Anybody come on, you guys, these are the seeds of dreams.

197
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.880
If you think a thought that's outside of yourself that you've kind of never thought before,

198
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.600
you got to pay attention to it.

199
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.680
If you've never wondered what that would be like before, if you never wondered what having

200
00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.000
that job would entail before, that is a God wink.

201
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.880
That is the start of a possible dream in your heart.

202
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:58.280
Now it may not look exactly like whatever you're seeing, but this could be the building

203
00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.840
blocks of that.

204
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.560
And so that's how something is implanted in your heart.

205
00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:06.120
Have you ever been somewhere and you saw someone really at the top of their game doing whatever

206
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:11.280
it is they do, whatever it is that they do, and you have thought to yourself, wow, I wish

207
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:13.720
I could do that.

208
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.720
Well guess what?

209
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.720
You can.

210
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.400
It may not look exactly like that.

211
00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:24.800
It may not be exactly like that, but these are the seeds of dreams.

212
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:26.560
But oftentimes this is what happens.

213
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.960
Please pay attention to what I'm going to say next.

214
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.760
Oftentimes what happens is, is that if we allow that thought to stay there long enough,

215
00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.840
we bring it to somebody else.

216
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.360
We're in conversation and we're like, you know what I thought the other day?

217
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:45.800
And you say it out loud and either that person is going to be a dream keeper or a dream killer,

218
00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:47.160
my friend.

219
00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:50.800
That's what's going to happen.

220
00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:52.280
They're either going to be a dream keeper.

221
00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:55.200
They're going to be like, man, yeah, that's interesting.

222
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.200
Wow.

223
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.480
You should look into that.

224
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.360
Or they're going to be like, what?

225
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.200
No, that's dumb.

226
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.280
If you're really familiar with them and they're a family member who is a negative person,

227
00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:15.760
they may even be like, that's a stupid thought or, or even worse.

228
00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:17.760
You can't do that.

229
00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:18.760
Anybody?

230
00:13:18.760 --> 00:13:19.760
Okay.

231
00:13:19.760 --> 00:13:20.760
Put your hands down.

232
00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:24.560
I have a lot of hands up right now and I want to ask you a lot of questions today.

233
00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:30.160
So put your hands down so we can talk more.

234
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.360
Is this helping anybody already?

235
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.360
Hopefully it should be helping you already.

236
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.560
Okay.

237
00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:36.560
Keep your hands down.

238
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:37.640
Just give me some hearts.

239
00:13:37.640 --> 00:13:38.640
Give me some emojis.

240
00:13:38.640 --> 00:13:44.000
If it's helping you already, in fact, instead of putting our hands up, that's what we'll

241
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000
do.

242
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.920
Hopefully all of you know how to do the little hearts and the emojis.

243
00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:51.360
Okay.

244
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.720
So a lot of you, a lot of you are telling me that that's happened to you before.

245
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.680
So right now, give me a thumbs up, heart, whatever you can access in your emojis.

246
00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:07.800
If that's happened to you in any way, shape or form, in any way, shape or form, maybe

247
00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:13.240
you're at work and you saw a job posting, an internal job posting, and you said to your

248
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.640
coworker and you saw the job posting, and even though it's something that you haven't

249
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:23.120
done before, you saw the criteria for it, you thought you could probably be qualified

250
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.120
for it.

251
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:29.080
And you say to your coworker that's been sitting in the cubicle next to you for 20 years, Hey,

252
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.840
you know, I saw that job posting and I was thinking about applying for it.

253
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.360
They're either going to say, go for it.

254
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.440
They're either going to be your cheerleader or they're going to be your naysayer.

255
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.320
You guys, people don't just do this because they're bad because they're bad people.

256
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.000
A lot of times they do it out of fear.

257
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.800
If they've been sitting next to you for 20 years, guess what they don't want you to do.

258
00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:00.080
They don't want you to leave.

259
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.500
They don't want you to move to a different department.

260
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:05.140
They don't want you to move to a different office.

261
00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:08.420
They don't want you to leave and go get a better job.

262
00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:10.020
Even though the two of you have been sitting there

263
00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:12.900
complaining about how this job is more work

264
00:15:12.900 --> 00:15:14.700
than the pay for 20 years.

265
00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:18.420
They like commiserating with you.

266
00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:21.500
They don't want that to be an empty cubicle

267
00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:23.700
that gets filled with another person that they don't know

268
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.000
and maybe they don't like.

269
00:15:25.900 --> 00:15:29.200
There's a lot of people that really are comfortable

270
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.980
in their comfort zone and they don't want you

271
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:35.060
to get out of your comfort zone and make them uncomfortable.

272
00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:36.680
Is anybody following me today?

273
00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:39.940
Come on you guys,

274
00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:42.180
this is what God highlighted in my heart today.

275
00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:44.340
This is important, we're in a new year.

276
00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:46.420
And I believe that God wants to begin to conceive

277
00:15:46.420 --> 00:15:48.020
in some of you some new dreams.

278
00:15:48.020 --> 00:15:51.020
It's gonna start out as just a thought, as just a whisper.

279
00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.980
Do you know what I say over people when it's their birthdays?

280
00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:58.880
If I've ever posted on any of your pages

281
00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:01.120
because I just happened to notice it was your birthday,

282
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.320
I say the same thing to everybody.

283
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.680
May this be the year where the purest whispers

284
00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:08.060
of your heart come true.

285
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.840
That's what I say to everybody.

286
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.320
Because I believe these are pure whispers, you guys.

287
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.440
And sometimes they're just a whisper,

288
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.680
they're not really that loud.

289
00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:22.120
And some of you join this community

290
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.240
because it's just a little whisper that you hear.

291
00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:27.020
It's a little whisper that you wanna be partnered.

292
00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:29.620
It's a little whisper that you wanna be married.

293
00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:32.420
And you're afraid to even utter it out loud.

294
00:16:32.420 --> 00:16:33.700
It literally is a whisper.

295
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:35.180
You're afraid to say it out loud

296
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:37.060
because you're afraid it can't happen.

297
00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:39.700
And you're afraid that the people around you will kill it

298
00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:42.160
before it even gets a chance to get started.

299
00:16:44.020 --> 00:16:46.500
And that's why you live, that's why you're here.

300
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.600
And that's why this is a beautiful place

301
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.740
where you can talk out loud about this dream.

302
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:54.220
And not just this dream.

303
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:57.280
This is a place where you can talk about all of your dreams.

304
00:16:57.280 --> 00:16:59.760
This is a place where we're good dream keepers.

305
00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:03.540
I believe in the impossible or I wouldn't be here.

306
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.040
I believe in the impossible.

307
00:17:06.040 --> 00:17:08.000
I believe the impossible is possible.

308
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.880
Otherwise, we wouldn't have 1600 plus success stories

309
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.880
in five years.

310
00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:13.760
If you haven't noticed,

311
00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:17.240
I have the gift of hope and faith for this.

312
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:18.920
But not just for this.

313
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.740
For anything in your life to be resurrected,

314
00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:25.040
any dream in your heart to come to pass,

315
00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:27.180
especially the things that are pure.

316
00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:29.640
And so this is where we fall off.

317
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.440
People are like, well, maybe it's not pure.

318
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.640
Maybe it's just my flesh that wants it.

319
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.480
Have you been delighting in the Lord?

320
00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:38.640
Do you love him?

321
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.640
Give me some hearts if you love God.

322
00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:43.680
And I don't mean perfectly.

323
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:44.720
I mean, imperfectly.

324
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.200
Because in case you didn't realize it,

325
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:47.800
you're living in this flesh suit.

326
00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:50.200
You're never gonna do anything perfectly.

327
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:51.860
You're gonna mess up.

328
00:17:51.860 --> 00:17:53.260
You're gonna give into temptation.

329
00:17:53.260 --> 00:17:54.220
You're gonna sin.

330
00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:56.740
That's why Jesus came to die for you.

331
00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:58.440
He's not giving us permission to sin,

332
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.080
but he has covered sin.

333
00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:05.540
He has.

334
00:18:05.540 --> 00:18:07.300
He died for you and as you,

335
00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:09.220
so that you can continue to mature

336
00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:12.100
and continue to grow and continue to learn.

337
00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:14.180
For all of you that messed up in your life,

338
00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.420
for all of you that messed up yesterday,

339
00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:18.340
the most important thing is not that you messed up.

340
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.240
It's what did you learn?

341
00:18:24.040 --> 00:18:26.240
The only danger is continuing in folly.

342
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.960
The only danger is continuing to make the dumb,

343
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.360
the same dumb mistake over and over and over and over.

344
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:34.480
And guess what?

345
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.320
Guess what?

346
00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:36.720
That's a heart situation.

347
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.780
That's rooted.

348
00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:44.200
If we keep having the same fruit pop up,

349
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.000
same fruit, different day,

350
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.460
that means it's connected to a root.

351
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:50.180
We gotta let Holy Spirit remove the root

352
00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:52.180
or the fruit is gonna continue to come.

353
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:56.700
Jealousy is coming to my spirit right now.

354
00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:00.220
If you continue to be envious of other people,

355
00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.580
jealous of other people,

356
00:19:01.580 --> 00:19:04.060
not be happy for other people's success,

357
00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:06.780
that's rooted in fear.

358
00:19:06.780 --> 00:19:08.020
Jealousy is rooted in fear,

359
00:19:08.020 --> 00:19:09.060
just in case you didn't know.

360
00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:10.020
I know it's really ugly

361
00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:12.780
and we think that it's rooted in ugly, ugly things,

362
00:19:12.780 --> 00:19:13.700
but let me let you know,

363
00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:16.540
fear is the ugliest thing that anything can be rooted in

364
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.180
because it's the opposite of love.

365
00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:22.140
It's the opposite of love.

366
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.560
Not hatred, fear.

367
00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:29.480
Hatred comes from fear.

368
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.060
Jealousy comes from fear.

369
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.060
Dishonesty comes from fear.

370
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:38.320
All of it.

371
00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:42.920
And so if you have something popping up

372
00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:46.340
that continues to sabotage your success in life,

373
00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:48.680
make you feel shame,

374
00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:52.240
once again, origin, fear.

375
00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:59.100
So let's deal with that.

376
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.920
But most of us are doing the best that we can.

377
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.600
So when it comes to delighting in the Lord, it's not a perfect science.

378
00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:12.880
There's not a criteria of how much you need to delight in the Lord, how intimate you need

379
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.600
to be with him, how much you need to pray, how much you need to fast, how much you need

380
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.920
to be in worship.

381
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.920
It's not about that.

382
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.920
It's about a heart posture.

383
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.320
Do you love God?

384
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:27.780
Do you love him?

385
00:20:27.780 --> 00:20:32.340
When you think about his love, does it make you feel a little weepy-eyed?

386
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:37.460
When you think about his goodness, when you think about the things that he's done for

387
00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:42.620
you, when you revisit those landmarks and those memorials in your life of where God

388
00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:46.680
has helped you and he has saved you and he has delivered you and he has healed you, does

389
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.700
it cause your heart to be full of joy and gratitude?

390
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:55.120
Then you delight in the Lord, my friend.

391
00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:02.640
And that is the only criteria for consummation or conception of dreams in your heart.

392
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:09.840
So please do not ignore the tiny little seeds that you have, that we talked about at the

393
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:13.520
beginning of this, where you drive by something, you have a thought.

394
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:15.160
Dreams start out as thoughts.

395
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.720
They start out as curiosity.

396
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:23.320
Has anyone ever just become curious about something super random and you Googled it

397
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:24.840
because you're just curious about it.

398
00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:27.240
You just want to know more about it.

399
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:32.280
Something very random that you've never thought of before.

400
00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:37.720
And you're like, huh, that is a little God wink that leads somewhere.

401
00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:40.280
That's a little love note trail.

402
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:46.760
I used to call it a breadcrumb trail until breadcrumbing became something that love bombers

403
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:48.440
and narcissists do.

404
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.960
It's like psychology hijacked a fun word, but also breadcrumbing is kind of from the

405
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.640
very macabre fairy tale Hansel and Gretel.

406
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.760
So we don't want that either.

407
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:05.400
We don't want to be breadcrumb to the witch's house where she's going to eat us later.

408
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:10.840
So for those of you that don't know American fairy tales, you're like, wait, what?

409
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.160
Yeah.

410
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.440
Yeah.

411
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.360
Disney took all these fairy tales and made them into fun cartoons.

412
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.640
But the actual fairy tales, the grim fairy tales are grim.

413
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:27.400
My friends, they are super scary, super scary situations.

414
00:22:28.280 --> 00:22:33.080
So God just leaves us little notes, little love notes leading us places.

415
00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:35.480
And so if you ever have a random thought like, Hey, you know,

416
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:38.360
well, I'm kind of curious about that.

417
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.200
Be curious about it.

418
00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:43.560
Look into it, see where it leads you.

419
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.040
It could just be the first love note on the trail that leads you somewhere totally different,

420
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.560
but that's how you got there.

421
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.760
That's how you got there.

422
00:22:53.800 --> 00:22:56.920
I've heard all kinds of origin stories of people's dreams.

423
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.480
You guys, all kinds of origin stories.

424
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.400
I have a really great doctor and you guys know that it's hard to find a really good

425
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.120
doctor, right?

426
00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:06.520
I've really good doctor back in Ohio.

427
00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:07.480
And I just hate that.

428
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.120
I can't see him regularly because I love him.

429
00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:12.040
And he's such a good doctor.

430
00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:16.200
It doesn't matter what he practices, what type of medicine he practices.

431
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.880
If you could take him and put him in any type of medicine,

432
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:23.240
he could be an OBGYN.

433
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.840
He could be an internal doctor.

434
00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:26.120
He could be a cardiologist.

435
00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:26.760
Doesn't matter.

436
00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:29.880
He would be a good doctor, no matter what type of medicine he practices.

437
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.040
And the reason why is because he has the heart of a good doctor,

438
00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:36.040
but you know how he got it.

439
00:23:38.520 --> 00:23:39.800
This is all Holy spirit right now.

440
00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:41.160
You guys were just flowing in the spirit.

441
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.160
I asked him one day because he's such a good doctor.

442
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:46.600
He has such a great bedside manner.

443
00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:47.320
He's so caring.

444
00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.280
He's so knowledgeable.

445
00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:49.400
He's so skilled.

446
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.120
I said, Hey, when did you know you wanted to become a doctor?

447
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.480
And he kind of lit up a little bit.

448
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.080
Like he loves to tell this story.

449
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:01.960
And he said, actually, he said, I had a bad accident when I was a kid.

450
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.480
So his origin story of his dream comes from trauma.

451
00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:11.080
It comes from when he was a kid, he was playing soccer.

452
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.760
He's an Indian man.

453
00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:13.880
He's not from India.

454
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.440
He's born here, but you know, he's playing football.

455
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:16.940
Okay.

456
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.080
Football, soccer.

457
00:24:19.080 --> 00:24:23.160
And he was playing it and something happened that caused him to become

458
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.560
injured and he broke his pelvis.

459
00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:32.760
And he was, I think nine or 10 years old, which resulted in him being in the

460
00:24:32.760 --> 00:24:34.680
hospital for three or four months.

461
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.040
In one of those body casts where your legs are up, you know what I'm talking

462
00:24:38.040 --> 00:24:41.640
about, have you ever seen any kind of movies or any kind of pictures of

463
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.480
someone, maybe one of you have been in a body cast before series in a body

464
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:50.280
cast from the waist down with his legs and traction laying still as a 10

465
00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:54.680
year old boy in the hospital for several months, you and I could probably

466
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:57.400
imagine that for anyone that would be terrible before.

467
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
10-year-old boy, that would be very bad, especially a very active, athletic boy.

468
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.800
And remember, this is back in the day when there probably wasn't any video games or really anything

469
00:25:12.800 --> 00:25:20.160
to do, except maybe read comic books or watch television. And he said that in his time in the

470
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:26.080
hospital, his doctors were so kind. They were so caring. They tried to make it fun for him in such

471
00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:32.400
a way at this hospital that he was at, that he knew when he was a young boy, that when he grew

472
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:38.240
up, he wanted to be a doctor too. That's what happened. That was the origin story of his dream.

473
00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:45.040
Isn't that incredible? So dreams don't just come from good places, you guys. Sometimes they come

474
00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:52.640
from hard places. What I do for you, my dream to restore marriage and family in the earth,

475
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.240
to revive marriage in the earth, to help people choose right,

476
00:25:57.600 --> 00:26:02.960
choose good so they can have lineage and legacy, it comes from a very broken and dysfunctional

477
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:10.960
childhood. That desire was birthed in hard places. That desire was birthed in a girl's home. That

478
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:17.440
desire was birthed in foster care. That desire was birthed in a dysfunctional family where there were

479
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:23.360
lots and lots of divorces for everybody.

480
00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:27.360
You see what I'm saying?

481
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.160
So when you're curious about something or something happens that makes you

482
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:39.120
say to yourself, Hey, the comfort that I've been comforted with, I want to comfort others with.

483
00:26:41.760 --> 00:26:45.760
Maybe you're a single mom and people have been giving to you or helping you. Maybe there's a

484
00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:50.640
certain organization that has really helped you. And the thought has come into your heart, man,

485
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.280
I'd really like to work for that organization. When I get on my feet,

486
00:26:55.280 --> 00:26:58.480
I like to go back and help others the same way that I'm being helped right now.

487
00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:08.880
Or maybe you see a space where people are not being helped and you've really in the past needed

488
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:14.160
that exact type of help, but it doesn't really exist. Or at least you haven't been able to find

489
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:22.320
it. Sometimes when you see the need, you are the help. And that's where a little tiny seed is sewn

490
00:27:22.320 --> 00:27:32.560
and conceived. You know what I'm saying? It's beautiful. And that's where it comes from.

491
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:39.520
So let's get to the nuts and bolts of today. Now that we've talked about these very,

492
00:27:39.520 --> 00:27:43.520
and I want to let you guys know, they could be fragile little seeds.

493
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:55.920
They can, and it's important what happens as that thing is starting to root in your heart and gain

494
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:03.120
traction and grow. It's important that we steward it well, and we protect it. And sometimes silence

495
00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:09.600
is the best stewardship of a dream, meaning pondering it in your heart at the very beginning.

496
00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:15.280
Look at Joseph. He had a dream. And as soon as he woke up from his dream,

497
00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:18.560
he went out blabbing it to people and it got him in a lot of trouble, didn't it?

498
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.440
First of all, he wasn't mature enough to understand the meaning of the dream.

499
00:28:24.560 --> 00:28:29.760
He was receiving that dream through ego. I'm going to rule over you. You're going to bow down to me.

500
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.680
I'm going to be important. And you guys are going to worship me kind of idea.

501
00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:41.040
Yeah, that's not going to go over really well. It isn't. And if God sows a little dream in your

502
00:28:41.040 --> 00:28:44.800
heart that one day you're going to be super, super wealthy, and you're going to be able to,

503
00:28:44.800 --> 00:28:50.560
you know, bless people through your wealth. And you tell that to your family that struggled with

504
00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:55.760
nine to five, all their lives and in generations, and you come blabbing that guess what? That's not

505
00:28:55.760 --> 00:28:59.280
going to really be well-received. They're going to be like, who do you think you are?

506
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.160
We're honest, hardworking people. You're telling us that you're going to be rich.

507
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:10.960
How are you going to be rich? So you have to be careful with your dreams.

508
00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:21.040
And we see this in the story of Mary, right? She gets a crazy, crazy word from the Lord.

509
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.840
Tiny little seed of conception sewn into her heart through a very supernatural experience.

510
00:29:26.560 --> 00:29:29.920
And some of the desires of your heart have come through supernatural experiences.

511
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.320
You were in prayer and you felt like God spoke something to you. You weren't even asking him

512
00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:38.800
for anything, but he spoke something to you anyway. You were in worship. God spoke something

513
00:29:38.800 --> 00:29:45.360
to you in a dream. God showed you something. Supernatural things do happen that begin the

514
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:52.320
path towards some sort of outcome, some sort of dream.

515
00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:55.840
Now this wasn't a dream of a little teenage Mary's heart.

516
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.600
to be the mother of the Messiah,

517
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.160
but her heart must have been a fertile place

518
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:12.400
because God saw her and he favored her above all women

519
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.400
and chose her for this.

520
00:30:18.600 --> 00:30:20.100
Chose her for this, right?

521
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:23.000
And that's another thing that I think we can just put

522
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:24.680
into this Supernatural Saturday.

523
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.840
A lot of times you are gonna feel disqualified

524
00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:28.860
for the desires of your heart.

525
00:30:28.860 --> 00:30:31.920
You are going to feel not good enough.

526
00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:34.900
If you have a dream in your heart

527
00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:36.060
that you feel good enough for,

528
00:30:36.060 --> 00:30:38.140
and you also feel like you could perform it

529
00:30:38.140 --> 00:30:40.300
or make it happen in your own abilities,

530
00:30:40.300 --> 00:30:41.800
it's probably not a God dream.

531
00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:46.800
Probably thinking a little bit too small.

532
00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.440
It could be part of a God dream,

533
00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:53.740
but the God part of it's probably a lot bigger.

534
00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:55.460
Like I said, the last Supernatural Saturday,

535
00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:57.980
a lot of us never make it to God's part

536
00:30:58.020 --> 00:30:59.580
because we don't do our part.

537
00:30:59.580 --> 00:31:01.220
We don't even make it to God's part.

538
00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:02.900
We don't even make it, we don't even do the natural,

539
00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:05.140
so we don't make it to the Supernatural.

540
00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:07.020
That's another part of my proverb

541
00:31:07.020 --> 00:31:08.900
that I'm gonna share today.

542
00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:12.620
It says, know the importance of the season that you're in

543
00:31:12.620 --> 00:31:15.260
and a wise son you'll be, but then it goes on to say,

544
00:31:15.260 --> 00:31:18.060
but what a waste when an incompetent son

545
00:31:18.060 --> 00:31:20.060
sleeps through his day of opportunity.

546
00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:23.380
You guys, the word incompetent just means

547
00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:25.480
not having the skill to be successful.

548
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.960
You know where you get the skill to be successful?

549
00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:29.800
Through practice.

550
00:31:29.800 --> 00:31:31.320
You know where you get the skill to be successful?

551
00:31:31.320 --> 00:31:32.760
Through mentorship, through coaching.

552
00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:34.240
That's why you're here.

553
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:35.360
If you knew how to do this,

554
00:31:35.360 --> 00:31:39.080
then you would have already done it, right?

555
00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:40.760
If you understood what you were missing,

556
00:31:40.760 --> 00:31:44.080
then you would just make it happen.

557
00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:45.800
So a lot of us don't even make it to God's part

558
00:31:45.800 --> 00:31:47.200
because we don't do our part.

559
00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.580
We don't do our part.

560
00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:50.960
And a lot of times we don't do our part

561
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.760
because we really don't even know what our part is.

562
00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:55.440
We just don't.

563
00:31:56.280 --> 00:31:59.200
And that's why Holy Spirit is an instructor and a teacher.

564
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:00.960
And that's why Holy Spirit works through people,

565
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.040
coaches, mentors, people like me,

566
00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:06.080
people like other people in your life in different areas

567
00:32:06.080 --> 00:32:08.360
that will coach and mentor you and help you.

568
00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:12.000
If you wanna go slow, go alone.

569
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.020
If you wanna go fast, get a coach, get a mentor.

570
00:32:15.020 --> 00:32:16.560
Come into a like-minded community

571
00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:18.200
where your dreams are going to be fed

572
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:19.400
and they're going to be watered

573
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.160
and they're going to be prayed for.

574
00:32:22.060 --> 00:32:23.880
The seven day a week prayer that we have

575
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:25.040
for all of you that are new,

576
00:32:25.600 --> 00:32:27.360
that's not a new thing for us.

577
00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:29.240
I'm an intercessor, I'm a prayer warrior.

578
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:33.080
That is my position, my very most important primary position

579
00:32:33.080 --> 00:32:34.200
in the kingdom of God.

580
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.140
When I came in the kingdom at 22,

581
00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:38.680
that is how God used me and utilized me.

582
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:40.960
And I continue to be used and utilized that way.

583
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.480
And all of my greatest dreams

584
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.980
have been birthed through intercession for others.

585
00:32:48.360 --> 00:32:51.440
So as soon as I started this community back in 2020,

586
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.420
I immediately instituted seven day a week prayer.

587
00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:56.580
And I led every single prayer session

588
00:32:56.580 --> 00:32:58.180
until God sent me people

589
00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:00.800
that had the skills to lead it as well.

590
00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:05.320
I was diligent over that.

591
00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:06.760
If you want to live out your dream,

592
00:33:06.760 --> 00:33:08.020
it's going to require discipline.

593
00:33:08.020 --> 00:33:09.900
It's gonna require diligence.

594
00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:12.780
It's gonna require showing up when you don't feel like it.

595
00:33:14.360 --> 00:33:15.740
It will require those things.

596
00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:16.900
That will be your part.

597
00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:20.000
That will be your natural that God puts his super on.

598
00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:23.620
And it's gonna look different for everybody.

599
00:33:23.620 --> 00:33:27.860
But I knew in order to come out from obscurity,

600
00:33:30.520 --> 00:33:32.420
it's a one thing to be praying behind the scenes.

601
00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:34.340
It's another thing to come publicly and say,

602
00:33:34.340 --> 00:33:37.400
we're going to have a revival of marriage and family.

603
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.120
Guess that, that attracts every demon in the world.

604
00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:42.280
They all turned their heads and said, what?

605
00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:46.220
Because marriage and family is public enemy number one

606
00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:48.660
to the kingdom of darkness.

607
00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:51.340
And you cannot have a ministry like that

608
00:33:51.340 --> 00:33:53.880
if you are not going to have a prayer covering.

609
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.140
And so all of you make up that prayer covering.

610
00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:57.100
And I'm so thankful.

611
00:33:57.100 --> 00:33:59.660
Thank you for coming to prayer.

612
00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:01.920
That is what you're doing when you come to prayer.

613
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:04.180
You may not be the leader of that prayer session,

614
00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:06.500
but your voice in unity together

615
00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:09.300
is what causes the prayer covering to happen.

616
00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.420
It's not the leader.

617
00:34:10.420 --> 00:34:12.460
The leader is just making sure that there's not chaos.

618
00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:14.260
You're just making sure that everything gets done in order

619
00:34:14.260 --> 00:34:15.580
and everyone gets to pray.

620
00:34:16.580 --> 00:34:19.440
You are the VIPs.

621
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.040
You coming and using your gift to pray,

622
00:34:23.040 --> 00:34:24.679
using your desire to pray.

623
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.219
That is what causes the covering.

624
00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:32.239
If you ever wonder how we've had 1600 plus success stories,

625
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:33.920
it's because of you.

626
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:35.080
It's not because of me.

627
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.960
Yes, I gave my yes.

628
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.840
But after I gave my yes, you gave your yes.

629
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:43.040
And you gave your yes, and you gave your yes,

630
00:34:43.040 --> 00:34:44.159
and you gave your yes.

631
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.679
And all of our yeses together is what causes this to happen.

632
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.460
And prayer is the lifeblood of this.

633
00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:54.560
So please, if you haven't been showing up to prayer,

634
00:34:54.560 --> 00:34:55.820
please try to.

635
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.840
Sunday night's a good time to show up to prayer.

636
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.480
If you work during the week and.

637
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.960
during the time of prayer,

638
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.420
maybe you can come on your lunch break sometimes.

639
00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:05.280
You can also just pray during the time

640
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:06.280
that you know we're praying,

641
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:07.840
even if you're not on with us.

642
00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:10.680
You can just pray silently at your desk

643
00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:11.520
while you're working, like,

644
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:15.820
oh, hey, my family, my community is praying right now.

645
00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:17.700
I'm gonna add my prayers to theirs.

646
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.160
Guys, there's no distance in the spirit.

647
00:35:21.160 --> 00:35:23.160
We don't have to be on Zoom together

648
00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:26.020
in order for your prayers to come into unity with ours.

649
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:32.760
This is good today, you guys.

650
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:34.600
I mean, it's always good.

651
00:35:34.600 --> 00:35:36.240
It's always good because it's God,

652
00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:39.160
but I really feel like

653
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:41.200
God's trying to show us something today.

654
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.040
I know there's some correction here,

655
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.400
but God just showed me this this morning,

656
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.520
and this is a different proverb.

657
00:35:46.520 --> 00:35:47.680
It's not my Proverb 10

658
00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:49.920
that I'm covering today on Wisdom Challenge,

659
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.240
but it says that God corrects,

660
00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:57.620
it says a father corrects the sons that he loves, right?

661
00:35:58.620 --> 00:36:00.700
And this is what God said to me this morning.

662
00:36:00.700 --> 00:36:02.120
He said, what's the difference

663
00:36:02.120 --> 00:36:04.040
between correction and punishment?

664
00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:08.180
The answer is love.

665
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.420
The same very thing could be being said

666
00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:17.060
for correction or for punishment,

667
00:36:17.060 --> 00:36:19.220
and the way a person's going to receive it

668
00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:21.480
is whether or not they feel loved by you.

669
00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:24.600
And I hope you guys feel loved by me.

670
00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:26.700
I hope you feel loved by me.

671
00:36:26.700 --> 00:36:28.540
I know I can be kind of strong sometimes.

672
00:36:28.540 --> 00:36:30.640
I know I can be a little direct sometimes,

673
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:32.860
but I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you,

674
00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:33.840
each and every one of you.

675
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.860
I wouldn't be here if I didn't love your lineage

676
00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:38.540
and your legacy, if I didn't love your love story.

677
00:36:38.540 --> 00:36:39.500
I wouldn't be here.

678
00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.780
I wouldn't be doing this

679
00:36:42.060 --> 00:36:43.100
because the warfare is real,

680
00:36:43.100 --> 00:36:45.780
and I'm not glamorizing or celebrating it.

681
00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:47.280
I'm saying it is, though.

682
00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:51.540
And that's why prayer is so important,

683
00:36:51.540 --> 00:36:52.880
and that's why you praying for me

684
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.940
and you praying for the other leaders of this movement

685
00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:56.300
and praying for each other,

686
00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.580
even if you can't be on prayer with us,

687
00:36:58.580 --> 00:37:00.300
is so very important to all of us

688
00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.980
because we need that covering.

689
00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:05.020
And I think that we're gonna need it even stronger in 26

690
00:37:05.020 --> 00:37:06.740
because I think that what we've seen,

691
00:37:06.740 --> 00:37:08.120
we ain't seen nothing yet.

692
00:37:09.060 --> 00:37:13.160
I think we're going to see an explosion of kingdom family,

693
00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:16.980
and we are going to be the forerunners of it

694
00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:19.420
because we have been tilling the ground

695
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.720
and planting the seed.

696
00:37:22.060 --> 00:37:24.680
Harvest comes to people who have seed in the ground,

697
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:28.680
and friends, we have a lot of seed in the ground,

698
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.800
a lot of seed in the ground.

699
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.800
And guess what?

700
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.200
God's gonna send the rain.

701
00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:35.360
And so what the difference is between correction

702
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.080
and rebuke and punishment is love

703
00:37:39.080 --> 00:37:40.600
and whether or not someone feels loved.

704
00:37:40.600 --> 00:37:42.520
And I want someone to take that with them.

705
00:37:42.520 --> 00:37:44.480
I wasn't gonna share that on today,

706
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.760
but I think that you need that for people in your life.

707
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.520
I think that those of you that are parenting,

708
00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:51.120
those of you that have other people,

709
00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:53.680
maybe you're an employer and you have employees,

710
00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:56.160
if you want them to receive your correction,

711
00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:58.560
they need to know that you care for them.

712
00:37:58.560 --> 00:37:59.480
Remember that old saying,

713
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.840
people don't care what you know

714
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.440
until they know that you care.

715
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.880
They don't care how much you know

716
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.580
until they know how much you care.

717
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:12.360
And so you need to spend some time showing love

718
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.520
and not just discipline

719
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.920
because otherwise it's going to be received as punishment,

720
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.080
even though you're just trying to correct,

721
00:38:21.080 --> 00:38:22.680
it will be received as punishment.

722
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:23.500
And then guess what?

723
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:25.260
Punishment oftentimes,

724
00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:27.780
especially from someone who doesn't think

725
00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:30.220
that you're doing it because you love them

726
00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:34.340
is going to cause resentment and possibly even rebellion.

727
00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:38.500
That man, that's a word for somebody.

728
00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:40.220
You have in trouble with your kids.

729
00:38:40.220 --> 00:38:41.780
They're not listening to you.

730
00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:43.220
They don't trust you.

731
00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:48.660
I know that's a hard word to receive,

732
00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:53.300
but I've lived that with my parents, not with my children.

733
00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:56.420
My children listen to me because they trust me

734
00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:58.540
because when I messed up,

735
00:38:58.540 --> 00:39:00.300
I told them that I messed up.

736
00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:01.420
I humbled myself.

737
00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:04.220
I asked for forgiveness to my children

738
00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:07.500
when I popped off in anger or said the wrong thing

739
00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:09.180
or said something that, you know,

740
00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:10.420
they're like, mom, that's not true.

741
00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:11.300
And I'm like, yes, it is.

742
00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:12.420
I'm your mother, listen to me.

743
00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:13.780
And then I come back and be like, you're right.

744
00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:15.100
It's not true.

745
00:39:15.100 --> 00:39:16.100
I was wrong.

746
00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:18.020
I went and checked the facts and I realized,

747
00:39:18.020 --> 00:39:21.740
oh, they did do their homework

748
00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:23.180
or they did take out the trash

749
00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.780
or they did whatever.

750
00:39:24.780 --> 00:39:26.940
And I would come in humility and say, please forgive me.

751
00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:28.940
I'm just a human.

752
00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.780
I made a mistake.

753
00:39:29.780 --> 00:39:30.620
I'm sorry.

754
00:39:30.620 --> 00:39:31.460
I love you.

755
00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:36.300
That's why they trust me.

756
00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:38.700
Cause it wasn't, I'm the parents.

757
00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:43.580
It's my way or the highway because I said so.

758
00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:44.820
I wasn't that parent.

759
00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:49.820
I wasn't.

760
00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:52.660
And now my kids are grownups

761
00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:55.740
and other grownups that I hang out with,

762
00:39:55.740 --> 00:39:57.820
other parents, they're like, man,

763
00:39:57.820 --> 00:39:59.820
your kids really love to be around you.

764
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.240
Every time you're going somewhere,

765
00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:03.080
your kids are like wanting to go too.

766
00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:06.320
Like every trip I go on, I have one of my kids with me

767
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.060
and they're like, how is this, how is this working?

768
00:40:08.060 --> 00:40:10.200
I can't get my kids to even come over.

769
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:13.040
Well, because my kids like me, that's how.

770
00:40:13.040 --> 00:40:17.080
And if that is not your reality,

771
00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:19.120
remember you can have heaven's reality.

772
00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:21.600
If that's not your reality right now,

773
00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:22.760
it can become your reality.

774
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:23.880
You're like, no, it's too late.

775
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:24.920
It's not too late.

776
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.520
It's not too late.

777
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.280
Love covers a multitude of wrongdoing.

778
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.680
Love covers a multitude of mistakes.

779
00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:39.540
Love covers, which is in my proverb for today, offense.

780
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.800
You're like, well, how can I write the ship, Jackie?

781
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.000
You can begin to show love even if it's not reciprocated.

782
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.480
Not manipulation, not for a desired outcome.

783
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.000
You can't control the outcome.

784
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.960
All you can do is sow the seed.

785
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.840
God's the one that has to give the increase.

786
00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.720
Sow the seed.

787
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.840
Love.

788
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:04.360
Support.

789
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.200
You're like, well, they're no contact with me, okay?

790
00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:10.040
Pray.

791
00:41:13.520 --> 00:41:14.400
Repent.

792
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.240
I don't know what I did wrong, Jackie.

793
00:41:19.240 --> 00:41:20.720
Doesn't matter.

794
00:41:20.720 --> 00:41:22.320
Repent of everything.

795
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:25.720
Humble yourself.

796
00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:28.800
This is really a word for somebody, you guys,

797
00:41:29.080 --> 00:41:31.080
that's not even part of today's Supernatural Saturday.

798
00:41:31.080 --> 00:41:33.400
It's a word for probably more than one somebody.

799
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.640
It could be not your children.

800
00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:35.480
It could be a sibling.

801
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:36.400
It could be your parents.

802
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.720
It could be a best friendship that you really, really miss

803
00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:43.960
and you know that it ended badly because of hard hearts.

804
00:41:45.080 --> 00:41:46.120
It could be anything.

805
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:49.640
It could be anything.

806
00:41:49.640 --> 00:41:52.080
All right, let's go back to our dreams.

807
00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:53.440
Gonna be on here for about 10 more minutes

808
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:55.320
and then I have to go get ready.

809
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.360
Once again, you can sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

810
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.760
Please use our link to sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

811
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.000
Even though it's free,

812
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:03.880
they are keeping track of how many people that we bring in

813
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:06.440
and there are special bonuses and different things.

814
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:11.440
And so go to the link in your resource page to sign up.

815
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:13.720
I also sent out an email.

816
00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:16.760
You can go find that as well if you get my emails.

817
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.520
If you don't get my email, sign up for the emails.

818
00:42:19.520 --> 00:42:21.760
I send stuff out, all right?

819
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:22.760
I don't send out a lot of stuff.

820
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:24.680
I'm not gonna spam you, I promise.

821
00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:26.240
I barely send out emails.

822
00:42:26.240 --> 00:42:30.080
And so go and sign up through that.

823
00:42:30.080 --> 00:42:33.680
And you can, if you do it quickly after we end today,

824
00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:35.360
you can be on there today.

825
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.240
And you guys, if you are on there,

826
00:42:37.240 --> 00:42:40.040
when I come on and stuff, just do a bunch of heart emojis.

827
00:42:40.040 --> 00:42:41.280
Let me know you're there

828
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.560
because I just wanna see who's there watching

829
00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:46.640
when I come on and start talking.

830
00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:47.920
And it's gonna be a good time.

831
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.480
I know that it will be.

832
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.560
All right, and you guys listen to the last nine days too.

833
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:53.680
If you're just signing up today,

834
00:42:53.680 --> 00:42:54.960
listen to the last nine days.

835
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.240
Some amazing voices of wisdom.

836
00:42:57.240 --> 00:43:00.320
Every single day, amazing voices of wisdom.

837
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.720
It's really great to start your year out right.

838
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:05.800
Clarity has to come before momentum.

839
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.440
You can't run a hundred miles an hour without clarity

840
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.760
because you're gonna hit a dead end for sure.

841
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:12.760
All right, so let's talk about this.

842
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.480
Dream killers versus dream givers

843
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.080
or dream protectors, dream keepers.

844
00:43:19.240 --> 00:43:21.800
Not everyone deserves access to your dream.

845
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:23.720
You may have close friends and family

846
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.160
that like Mary, you're gonna ponder this in your heart.

847
00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:27.120
You know what would have happened

848
00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:28.680
if Mary would have told people

849
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.760
that she believed that she was impregnated

850
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.440
by the Holy Spirit?

851
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.400
Yeah, that wouldn't have gone over well.

852
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:39.000
It wouldn't have.

853
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.040
You see how God covered it up, right?

854
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:43.480
He appeared to the one person who really needed to know

855
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.120
and that was Joseph.

856
00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:47.920
He was the one person that needed to know

857
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:49.200
and then he took her anyway.

858
00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:51.600
So it's better thinking that she got pregnant

859
00:43:51.600 --> 00:43:54.640
right before they got married by Joseph

860
00:43:54.640 --> 00:43:58.080
than it was people knowing the truth.

861
00:43:58.080 --> 00:43:58.920
Amen?

862
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.080
And God will protect your dream.

863
00:44:03.080 --> 00:44:05.360
He will protect it, but will you?

864
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.760
During these fragile, fragile times of it growing,

865
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.320
are you going to let someone come in and try to execute it?

866
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:18.720
Someone come in with their words and try to abort it?

867
00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:20.360
Especially someone that you really care

868
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:21.640
about the opinion of,

869
00:44:21.640 --> 00:44:23.840
someone that really has influence over you,

870
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:25.920
you gotta be careful because if they're a negative person

871
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.120
or a fearful person, they're the wrong person.

872
00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:31.960
I know that you want their approval,

873
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:33.760
but you're gonna have to get over it

874
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.520
because their approval actually might abort your dream

875
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:42.560
because they're a fearful person.

876
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:45.440
They're gonna introduce all kinds of,

877
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.040
well, what if this and what if that,

878
00:44:47.040 --> 00:44:49.720
and that's not safe.

879
00:44:50.080 --> 00:44:53.400
And just like, no, I had that happen to me yesterday.

880
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:55.520
Yesterday.

881
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.000
I talked about something.

882
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.520
that I'm already in the launching process of

883
00:45:04.520 --> 00:45:07.240
with someone that I really admire and respect,

884
00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:08.920
but I know that they are someone

885
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.560
who always sees the storm clouds.

886
00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:17.000
And I knew that before I said it.

887
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.400
And yet I was so excited about it

888
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:19.440
that I just blurted it out

889
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.680
and then they were smack down.

890
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.920
I'm gonna do it anyway, but I just wanna say that.

891
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.720
Okay, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

892
00:45:31.720 --> 00:45:33.520
And friends, those people are not bad people.

893
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:34.680
They think they're protecting you.

894
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:38.320
They do it out of concern, right?

895
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.600
Some people do it out of jealousy

896
00:45:40.600 --> 00:45:41.680
and they wanna keep you small,

897
00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:43.400
but a lot of people do it out of concern.

898
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.240
So not everyone deserves access to your dream.

899
00:45:45.240 --> 00:45:46.440
I have a few notes here,

900
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.960
but what you have to understand is that your dream is alive

901
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.720
before it even manifests, before it's even accomplished,

902
00:45:52.720 --> 00:45:54.880
it's alive, it's a living thing.

903
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.800
If I asked you to raise your hand,

904
00:45:59.560 --> 00:46:02.320
if you believe that abortion kills a human life,

905
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.160
I think most of you would raise your hand in here.

906
00:46:04.160 --> 00:46:05.920
And I don't wanna get into an abortion topic.

907
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.400
I don't wanna get into whether it's right or wrong

908
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:08.640
or all those things.

909
00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:12.440
But I think we all believe that it is a child,

910
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.440
it is a life that is being snuffed out in abortion.

911
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:18.680
Well, guess what?

912
00:46:18.680 --> 00:46:20.920
Your dream is alive the same way

913
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.840
that any other product of conception is alive.

914
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:25.520
I want you to really understand that.

915
00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:28.560
Even if it hasn't fully formed, it's alive in the same way.

916
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.280
Why? Because God's words are life.

917
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:32.320
They're alive.

918
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.560
They're alive, they're living things.

919
00:46:36.560 --> 00:46:38.720
They're little power containers of life.

920
00:46:40.120 --> 00:46:41.800
And so even though you think it's just a thought,

921
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:45.880
you think it's just a spark, it's not, it's alive.

922
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:50.960
Yes, it's alive.

923
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.960
And so your dream is alive before it's accomplished,

924
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.400
before it's manifested, before it's fully formed,

925
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.160
before you have it in your hot little hands,

926
00:46:58.760 --> 00:46:59.600
it is alive.

927
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:02.280
And this is the gestation period.

928
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.040
And all gestation periods for dreams are different.

929
00:47:05.040 --> 00:47:08.880
Some dreams gestate for decades before they come to pass.

930
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:11.160
So for those of you who are like,

931
00:47:11.160 --> 00:47:12.920
man, my dream didn't come to pass,

932
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.840
I must've done something wrong, I must've aborted it.

933
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:16.600
No, it might be one of those dreams

934
00:47:16.600 --> 00:47:18.160
that has a longer gestation.

935
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:20.640
You know why?

936
00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:22.440
Because those dreams require a higher level

937
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.240
of responsibility and maturity.

938
00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:26.440
And marriage is one of those.

939
00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.280
The good news is I believe that all of you

940
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:29.760
in this community are at the end

941
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.080
of your gestation period for partnership.

942
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:33.120
That's why you're here.

943
00:47:33.120 --> 00:47:35.360
I don't believe that God calls people into here

944
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:36.960
when they still have 20 years to go

945
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.240
before their partnership.

946
00:47:39.520 --> 00:47:42.440
I feel like we're kind of part of the midwife team

947
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.440
that helps you give birth to that thing.

948
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:47.480
Okay, all right.

949
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.560
So some people don't kill your dreams with hatred,

950
00:47:50.560 --> 00:47:53.000
they don't hate you, they don't hate your dream,

951
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:54.760
but they kill them with concern.

952
00:47:55.680 --> 00:47:57.720
They're concerned for you.

953
00:47:57.720 --> 00:47:59.560
And we all know people who are concerned,

954
00:47:59.560 --> 00:48:01.000
they're worriers, they're worriers,

955
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.000
they worry about everything.

956
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.320
You know what God told me?

957
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.280
My word for 2026?

958
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.920
He said, Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

959
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:10.800
And this is what he said next.

960
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.880
He said, if you can control it, control it.

961
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.560
And if you can't, give it to me.

962
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.240
Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

963
00:48:20.240 --> 00:48:21.880
If you can control it, control it.

964
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.160
And if you can't, not control fear,

965
00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:25.520
not control worry,

966
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:27.760
control the thing that you're worried about.

967
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:32.040
If you can control it, then control it.

968
00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:34.240
But if you can't control it, don't worry about it,

969
00:48:34.240 --> 00:48:35.400
give it to me.

970
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:39.040
Understand, Jesus Cares Board should be alive and well

971
00:48:39.040 --> 00:48:40.520
in 2026.

972
00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:43.760
You should have more things than ever on that board

973
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.600
for God to participate in.

974
00:48:45.600 --> 00:48:47.280
All right, number two.

975
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.640
Number one, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

976
00:48:49.640 --> 00:48:52.200
Sometimes silence is the way you're gonna steward your dream.

977
00:48:52.200 --> 00:48:53.880
You're not gonna tell anyone right now

978
00:48:54.560 --> 00:48:56.160
you're just going to talk to the Lord about it.

979
00:48:57.160 --> 00:48:58.800
You're gonna put it on your Jesus Cares Board.

980
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.000
You're gonna pray over it.

981
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.280
That's what you're gonna do.

982
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:02.120
All right, number two.

983
00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:07.120
Wise counsel is very different than fearful commentary.

984
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.800
Sometimes fear sounds wise, doesn't it?

985
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.120
It sounds wise when it's coming at us

986
00:49:14.120 --> 00:49:16.280
from someone that we trust and respect.

987
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:19.160
But you guys, if it causes you to walk away afraid,

988
00:49:19.160 --> 00:49:21.400
it was not wise, it was fear.

989
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:26.680
If you walk away with some clarity, like, yeah, okay.

990
00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:28.440
Some clarity has come.

991
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.480
Cool, it was probably wise counsel.

992
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:31.960
If you walk away being afraid,

993
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:33.320
wondering if you should even do this,

994
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:38.320
more confused than when you started, that was not wisdom.

995
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:40.760
Wisdom does not cause confusion.

996
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:41.840
All right, y'all are just staring at me

997
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:43.080
like a cow at a new gate.

998
00:49:43.080 --> 00:49:44.680
Does anyone learn anything today?

999
00:49:44.680 --> 00:49:47.520
Raise your hand, give me some hearts, some emojis.

1000
00:49:47.520 --> 00:49:49.240
Some of y'all need to inform your face

1001
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.360
that you're having a good time up in here.

1002
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.200
Because I'm thinking of the scripture,

1003
00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:58.520
do not look at their faces.

1004
00:49:58.520 --> 00:50:00.160
Continue to speak.

1005
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.280
Do not regard their stern expressions.

1006
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:06.360
You guys know I like to have fun.

1007
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.640
All right, wise counsel will ask you clarifying questions.

1008
00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:12.620
They'll ask you why you want your dream.

1009
00:50:12.620 --> 00:50:15.820
They'll ask you what your plan is for your dream.

1010
00:50:15.820 --> 00:50:18.600
This is a good person to bounce things off of.

1011
00:50:18.600 --> 00:50:20.020
They're gonna ask you questions.

1012
00:50:20.020 --> 00:50:22.600
They're gonna ask you, hey, have you ever thought of this?

1013
00:50:24.080 --> 00:50:25.220
What about this?

1014
00:50:26.200 --> 00:50:29.260
Neutral, not negative, not necessarily even positive,

1015
00:50:29.260 --> 00:50:33.260
just neutral questions, things to make you think, all right?

1016
00:50:33.260 --> 00:50:36.640
Fearful commentary is gonna give you worst case scenarios.

1017
00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:40.220
They're going to try to give you worst case scenarios.

1018
00:50:40.220 --> 00:50:42.160
They're gonna try to talk about the liability

1019
00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:45.000
of the decision, the liability of the path

1020
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.660
or the course or the idea, all right?

1021
00:50:47.660 --> 00:50:50.060
Only that thing, and it's gonna be through the lens

1022
00:50:50.060 --> 00:50:52.920
of the glass is half empty, or you better watch your back,

1023
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.320
you better sleep with one eye open kind of idea.

1024
00:50:56.460 --> 00:50:58.300
It's okay, wise people will ask you

1025
00:50:58.300 --> 00:50:59.620
if you've counted the costs.

1026
00:50:59.620 --> 00:51:04.620
They'll ask you if your schedule can support this dream.

1027
00:51:06.260 --> 00:51:09.620
I've been doing this with one of my leaders just recently.

1028
00:51:09.620 --> 00:51:12.580
I've been coming as a voice of wisdom, not negativity

1029
00:51:12.580 --> 00:51:15.300
and saying, hey, do you have room in your life for this?

1030
00:51:16.660 --> 00:51:18.860
I do all of that with you guys too.

1031
00:51:18.860 --> 00:51:21.300
When I coach you guys, like, hey, you really want marriage,

1032
00:51:21.300 --> 00:51:24.020
but do you have the bandwidth for marriage?

1033
00:51:24.020 --> 00:51:25.780
Marriage takes up a lot of time.

1034
00:51:25.780 --> 00:51:28.260
Dating towards marriage takes up a lot of time.

1035
00:51:29.100 --> 00:51:32.020
Have you cleared the way for your dream?

1036
00:51:32.020 --> 00:51:33.620
Dreams will require pruning.

1037
00:51:33.620 --> 00:51:37.260
They will require letting go of things,

1038
00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:40.060
even good things in order to get great things.

1039
00:51:40.060 --> 00:51:41.060
We won't get into that today.

1040
00:51:41.060 --> 00:51:42.680
That's a whole different conversation,

1041
00:51:42.680 --> 00:51:45.120
but wise counsel will ask you those questions.

1042
00:51:46.260 --> 00:51:49.940
They won't just, oh, yay, wonderful, okay.

1043
00:51:50.860 --> 00:51:52.340
I'm so excited for you.

1044
00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:56.460
No, they'll say, hey, I know that you want this promotion

1045
00:51:56.460 --> 00:51:59.780
at work, but you're a single mom.

1046
00:52:01.340 --> 00:52:03.300
And every time I come over your house,

1047
00:52:03.300 --> 00:52:06.160
you're always behind the eight ball.

1048
00:52:07.420 --> 00:52:09.780
Are you gonna get some help at home?

1049
00:52:09.780 --> 00:52:11.420
Like, what's gonna look like at home

1050
00:52:11.420 --> 00:52:13.140
for you to take this promotion?

1051
00:52:13.140 --> 00:52:13.980
Are you gonna get some help?

1052
00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:16.380
Are you gonna ask for some help?

1053
00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:18.620
Are you going to use this extra money that you're making

1054
00:52:18.620 --> 00:52:20.920
and employ some help at home?

1055
00:52:22.140 --> 00:52:25.740
There is no harm and no foul to use some extra money

1056
00:52:25.740 --> 00:52:27.700
to do things that you don't have time to do.

1057
00:52:27.700 --> 00:52:29.900
Like someone come and clean once a month,

1058
00:52:29.900 --> 00:52:33.180
someone maybe pre-order or pre-make you some food.

1059
00:52:33.180 --> 00:52:35.860
You know, there's no harm in that stuff, friends.

1060
00:52:35.860 --> 00:52:37.580
Don't think you have to do it all yourself

1061
00:52:37.580 --> 00:52:39.900
because if you think you have to do it all yourself,

1062
00:52:39.900 --> 00:52:42.120
you will try and you will also fail.

1063
00:52:44.180 --> 00:52:46.100
Okay, all right.

1064
00:52:46.100 --> 00:52:49.300
So fearful people will say, you know,

1065
00:52:49.300 --> 00:52:50.980
what if you lose everything?

1066
00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:54.760
They'll just say things that it's wisdom,

1067
00:52:55.900 --> 00:52:59.100
it's not wisdom, but it's fear dressed up as wisdom.

1068
00:52:59.100 --> 00:53:00.700
It's fear dressed up as wisdom.

1069
00:53:00.700 --> 00:53:03.980
And you'll know the difference by how you feel inside

1070
00:53:03.980 --> 00:53:06.760
when you leave their presence, okay?

1071
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:07.600
Right?

1072
00:53:08.740 --> 00:53:10.180
Because this is what I want you to know.

1073
00:53:10.180 --> 00:53:12.260
Even if it's someone that you really love dearly,

1074
00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:13.680
fear is still fear.

1075
00:53:14.700 --> 00:53:16.260
Fear is still fear.

1076
00:53:16.260 --> 00:53:17.660
Fear is always fear

1077
00:53:17.660 --> 00:53:21.000
even when the source it's coming from loves you.

1078
00:53:21.160 --> 00:53:24.160
They may love you, but there's no fear in love.

1079
00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:25.400
Amen, amen.

1080
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:26.560
All right, we got to hurry.

1081
00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:27.720
I said I was going to get off early

1082
00:53:27.720 --> 00:53:29.160
and now I'm going to go over

1083
00:53:29.160 --> 00:53:31.360
the danger of small thinking circles.

1084
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:33.360
You guys, you have to stay away from people

1085
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:36.160
who are dream killers because they just think too small.

1086
00:53:37.080 --> 00:53:40.520
They are the us for and no more mentality people.

1087
00:53:40.520 --> 00:53:43.000
They have made a comfort zone out of being mediocre.

1088
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.320
They have made a comfort zone out of status quo.

1089
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.960
They've made a comfort zone out of single-mindedness.

1090
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.800
They have made a comfort zone out of being a single mom.

1091
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:53.700
They're a single season.

1092
00:53:56.200 --> 00:53:57.120
They're the people that say,

1093
00:53:57.120 --> 00:53:59.120
oh yeah, being married would be nice.

1094
00:53:59.120 --> 00:54:00.680
Mm-hmm.

1095
00:54:00.680 --> 00:54:02.400
Oh, wouldn't that be nice?

1096
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:04.280
Oh, I wish that would happen.

1097
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:07.500
No, friends, those are not your people.

1098
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:11.080
Also, the people that say marriage

1099
00:54:11.080 --> 00:54:12.400
and wanting marriage as an idol,

1100
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:13.960
those are also not your people.

1101
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:16.400
But you know where your people are?

1102
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:17.220
Right here.

1103
00:54:18.640 --> 00:54:20.040
We're not making it an idol.

1104
00:54:21.120 --> 00:54:25.080
But we are knowing that God gave it to us as a dream

1105
00:54:25.080 --> 00:54:27.440
and we're doing our part and we're letting God do his part

1106
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:29.720
and we're coming here and we're supporting each other

1107
00:54:29.720 --> 00:54:31.320
in life, not just in singleness.

1108
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:34.000
We're supporting each other's dreams in other areas.

1109
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:36.380
We're speaking truth and wisdom over each other.

1110
00:54:36.380 --> 00:54:38.000
We're praying for each other.

1111
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.840
This is a great place to be.

1112
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.440
Stay out of small thinking circles.

1113
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:44.480
Some people cannot see the life

1114
00:54:45.640 --> 00:54:47.480
that they could have beyond the life

1115
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:48.900
that they've settled for.

1116
00:54:48.940 --> 00:54:51.100
I'm gonna say that 15 more times.

1117
00:54:51.100 --> 00:54:54.180
They cannot see, they don't have vision

1118
00:54:54.180 --> 00:54:55.860
for the life that they could have

1119
00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:58.140
beyond the life that they've settled for.

1120
00:54:59.500 --> 00:55:00.660
This is what they say.

1121
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.440
settled for and this is all they can see.

1122
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:04.320
And because you don't want to settle,

1123
00:55:06.240 --> 00:55:11.020
they're going to think that you're unrealistic.

1124
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.240
Now thinking this way doesn't make them evil.

1125
00:55:14.240 --> 00:55:15.780
They're not bad people. They're not evil people.

1126
00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:17.560
They might even be people that you love,

1127
00:55:17.560 --> 00:55:19.940
but it does make them unsafe for your vision.

1128
00:55:21.260 --> 00:55:23.860
People that have no vision perish.

1129
00:55:23.860 --> 00:55:26.360
And you guys, that doesn't mean that they just fall down

1130
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:27.200
and give up the ghost.

1131
00:55:27.200 --> 00:55:28.440
They don't just fall down and croak

1132
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:29.840
as my grandpa would say.

1133
00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:34.260
It just means that there's areas of their life that are dead

1134
00:55:35.560 --> 00:55:36.880
and they're not going to be resurrected

1135
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:38.680
unless they decide that they want those things

1136
00:55:38.680 --> 00:55:39.920
to be resurrected.

1137
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.200
And so that means that your dream is not safe with them.

1138
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.040
Why do you think Jesus said to his disciples,

1139
00:55:48.040 --> 00:55:49.700
let the dead bury the dead?

1140
00:55:49.700 --> 00:55:51.600
He wasn't talking about the dead.

1141
00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:54.600
It was metaphorical.

1142
00:55:55.600 --> 00:55:59.400
Metaphorical, you understand, right?

1143
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:02.480
He's like, hey, follow me.

1144
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:04.380
I'm going to go show you a different life.

1145
00:56:04.380 --> 00:56:06.360
I'm going to go show you a kingdom.

1146
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:08.580
Let the people who can't see the kingdom

1147
00:56:08.580 --> 00:56:10.980
deal with the people who can't see the kingdom.

1148
00:56:12.680 --> 00:56:13.980
Dead in their vision.

1149
00:56:17.560 --> 00:56:20.920
You guys, are you guys picking up when I'm laying down?

1150
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:22.960
I know it's a lot for a Saturday morning.

1151
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.060
I know it's a lot.

1152
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.240
You guys, what I call the border bullies,

1153
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:32.040
the people that are going to keep you from crossing over

1154
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:33.000
into the promised land,

1155
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:35.240
they often come in the form of family, friends,

1156
00:56:35.240 --> 00:56:37.320
well-meaning other believers.

1157
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:38.920
Maybe they love Jesus,

1158
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:41.880
but they just don't have a lot of vision for dreams.

1159
00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:46.280
Okay, people can love Jesus and also not be living the life

1160
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:47.940
that Jesus died to give them.

1161
00:56:50.260 --> 00:56:51.440
They can.

1162
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.240
And no offense, but some of you are those people.

1163
00:56:53.240 --> 00:56:56.040
And I love you, but you are those people.

1164
00:56:56.040 --> 00:56:58.760
And I'm hoping to kind of wake you up a little bit

1165
00:56:58.760 --> 00:56:59.680
because we don't want to sleep.

1166
00:56:59.680 --> 00:57:01.000
What did the Proverbs say?

1167
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:05.180
Proverbs says, let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1168
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:09.740
Let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1169
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:13.600
They're not going to block you with force,

1170
00:57:13.600 --> 00:57:14.520
these people that you love.

1171
00:57:14.520 --> 00:57:15.760
They're not going to block you with force,

1172
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:18.520
but they are going to block you by sowing subtle seeds

1173
00:57:18.520 --> 00:57:21.400
of fear and doubt and discouragement.

1174
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.400
That is what's going to block you.

1175
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.440
You've got to stay away from that in 26

1176
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.960
if you want to live out and manifest some of your dreams.

1177
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:30.800
Amen.

1178
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:32.400
All right, Father God, I thank you for today.

1179
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:33.600
I thank you for this session.

1180
00:57:33.600 --> 00:57:35.640
I thank you for this truth that you've spoken over us.

1181
00:57:35.640 --> 00:57:38.040
We could go and go and go on this topic,

1182
00:57:38.040 --> 00:57:40.920
but we thank you, Lord, for what you have spoken to us.

1183
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:42.800
And through us, Lord, we pray, God,

1184
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:44.460
that we would get ahold of this

1185
00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:46.000
and that this seed that was sown today

1186
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.040
would be watered and watered frequently

1187
00:57:49.040 --> 00:57:53.400
by voices of hope and courage and vision

1188
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:55.480
so that we can go forward into everything

1189
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:57.220
that you have for us.

1190
00:57:57.220 --> 00:57:59.040
In Jesus' name, amen.

1191
00:57:59.040 --> 00:57:59.880
I love y'all.

1192
00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:01.800
I'm giving you time to get over to Wisdom Challenge.

1193
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:05.240
Go to your resource page, register, and I'll see you there.

1194
00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:06.080
See you soon.
