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 --> 00:00:28.040
About 87 people, 88 live right now.

10
00:00:28.040 --> 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 --> 00:01:49.880
We press in together and we ask God to tell us what is the current prophetic reality of

37
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:52.520
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
00:01:58.480 --> 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 --> 00:02:16.280
to be a detail that somebody else doesn't have, but all of our realities are not compared

43
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.120
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
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.640
truth always trumps facts.

47
00:02:28.640 --> 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 --> 00:02:41.440
Some of you might have a fact that you're single.

51
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:42.440
Okay.

52
00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:43.440
That's a fact.

53
00:02:43.440 --> 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 --> 00:10:39.360
it was a billboard or whether it was, you know, somebody else, you know, doing something

181
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.760
that, you know, made sense to you, you know, maybe you, you drove by some kind of public

182
00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:48.320
event or whatever, it doesn't matter.

183
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.560
Have you ever been anywhere walking down the street, driving down the street, walking through

184
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:57.000
the mall does, you know, walking through a convention center at work, walking through

185
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.000
an office building.

186
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.160
Have you ever been anywhere in the thought just crossed your mind?

187
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:03.160
Wow.

188
00:11:03.160 --> 00:11:05.560
I wonder what it would be like to do that.

189
00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:08.360
Anybody, come on y'all.

190
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.520
I'm pulling for your dreams this morning.

191
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:11.520
Raise your hand.

192
00:11:11.520 --> 00:11:14.960
If you've ever had the thought, hi, I wonder what that's like, I wonder what it'd be like

193
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.960
to do that.

194
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.320
I wonder what it'd be like to have that job.

195
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.320
Wow.

196
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.040
I really liked that outfit.

197
00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:23.520
Hmm.

198
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:24.520
I wonder where they got it.

199
00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:32.840
Anybody come on, you guys, these are the seeds of dreams.

200
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,

201
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.600
you got to pay attention to it.

202
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

203
00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.000
that job would entail before, that is a God wink.

204
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.880
That is the start of a possible dream in your heart.

205
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

206
00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.840
blocks of that.

207
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.560
And so that's how something is implanted in your heart.

208
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

209
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

210
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:13.720
I could do that.

211
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.720
Well guess what?

212
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.720
You can.

213
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.400
It may not look exactly like that.

214
00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:24.800
It may not be exactly like that, but these are the seeds of dreams.

215
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:26.560
But oftentimes this is what happens.

216
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.960
Please pay attention to what I'm going to say next.

217
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.760
Oftentimes what happens is, is that if we allow that thought to stay there long enough,

218
00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.840
we bring it to somebody else.

219
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.360
We're in conversation and we're like, you know what I thought the other day?

220
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,

221
00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:47.160
my friend.

222
00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:50.800
That's what's going to happen.

223
00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:52.280
They're either going to be a dream keeper.

224
00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:55.200
They're going to be like, man, yeah, that's interesting.

225
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.200
Wow.

226
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.480
You should look into that.

227
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.360
Or they're going to be like, what?

228
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.180
No, that's dumb.

229
00:13:03.180 --> 00:13:07.280
If you're really familiar with them and they're a family member who is a negative person,

230
00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:15.800
they may even be like, that's a stupid thought or, or even worse.

231
00:13:15.800 --> 00:13:16.960
You can't do that.

232
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:17.960
Anybody.

233
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:18.960
Okay.

234
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.960
Put your hands down.

235
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:24.560
I have a lot of hands up right now and I want to ask you a lot of questions today.

236
00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:30.160
So put your hands down so we can talk more.

237
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.360
Is this helping anybody already?

238
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.360
Hopefully it should be helping you already.

239
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.560
Okay.

240
00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:36.560
Keep your hands down.

241
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.840
Just give me some hearts.

242
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.840
Give me some emojis.

243
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:44.000
If it's helping you already, in fact, instead of putting our hands up, that's what we'll

244
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000
do.

245
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.120
Hopefully all of you know how to do the little hearts and the emojis.

246
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.360
Okay.

247
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.

248
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.680
So right now, give me a thumbs up, heart, whatever you can access in your emojis.

249
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

250
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

251
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

252
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:23.120
done before, you saw the criteria for it, you thought you could probably be qualified

253
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.120
for it.

254
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,

255
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.840
you know, I saw that job posting and I was thinking about applying for it.

256
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.360
They're either going to say, go for it.

257
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.440
They're either going to be your cheerleader or they're going to be your naysayer.

258
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.

259
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.000
A lot of times they do it out of fear.

260
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.

261
00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:00.080
They don't want you to leave.

262
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.500
They don't want you to move to a different department.

263
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:05.140
They don't want you to move to a different office.

264
00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:08.420
They don't want you to leave and go get a better job.

265
00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:10.020
Even though the two of you have been sitting there

266
00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:12.900
complaining about how this job is more work

267
00:15:12.900 --> 00:15:14.700
than the pay for 20 years.

268
00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:18.420
They like commiserating with you.

269
00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:21.500
They don't want that to be an empty cubicle

270
00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:23.700
that gets filled with another person that they don't know

271
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.000
and maybe they don't like.

272
00:15:25.900 --> 00:15:29.200
There's a lot of people that really are comfortable

273
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.980
in their comfort zone and they don't want you

274
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:35.060
to get out of your comfort zone and make them uncomfortable.

275
00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:36.660
Is anybody following me today?

276
00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:39.940
Come on, you guys,

277
00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:42.180
this is what God highlighted in my heart today.

278
00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:44.340
This is important, we're in a new year.

279
00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:46.420
And I believe that God wants to begin to conceive

280
00:15:46.420 --> 00:15:48.020
in some of you some new dreams.

281
00:15:48.020 --> 00:15:51.020
It's gonna start out as just a thought, as just a whisper.

282
00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.980
Do you know what I say over people when it's their birthdays?

283
00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:58.840
If I've ever posted on any of your pages,

284
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.120
because I just happened to notice it was your birthday,

285
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.360
I say the same thing to everybody.

286
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.760
May this be the year where the purest whispers

287
00:16:06.760 --> 00:16:08.120
of your heart come true.

288
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.920
That's what I say to everybody.

289
00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:15.320
Because I believe these are pure whispers, you guys.

290
00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:18.440
And sometimes they're just a whisper,

291
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.720
they're not really that loud.

292
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.160
And some of you join this community

293
00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:25.240
because it's just a little whisper that you hear.

294
00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:27.020
It's a little whisper that you wanna be partnered.

295
00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:29.620
It's a little whisper that you wanna be married.

296
00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:32.420
And you're afraid to even utter it out loud.

297
00:16:32.420 --> 00:16:33.700
It literally is a whisper.

298
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:35.180
You're afraid to say it out loud

299
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:37.060
because you're afraid it can't happen.

300
00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:39.700
And you're afraid that the people around you will kill it

301
00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:42.160
before it even gets a chance to get started.

302
00:16:44.020 --> 00:16:46.500
And that's why you live, that's why you're here.

303
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.620
And that's why this is a beautiful place

304
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:52.740
where you can talk out loud about this dream.

305
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:54.220
And not just this dream.

306
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.280
This is a place where you can talk about all of your dreams.

307
00:16:57.280 --> 00:16:59.780
This is a place where we're good dream keepers.

308
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.580
I believe in the impossible or I wouldn't be here.

309
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.079
I believe in the impossible.

310
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.040
I believe the impossible is possible.

311
00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:10.920
Otherwise we wouldn't have 1,600 plus success stories

312
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:11.920
in five years.

313
00:17:12.800 --> 00:17:13.800
If you haven't noticed,

314
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:17.280
I have the gift of hope and faith for this.

315
00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:18.960
But not just for this.

316
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.780
For anything in your life to be resurrected,

317
00:17:21.780 --> 00:17:25.079
any dream in your heart to come to pass,

318
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.220
especially the things that are pure.

319
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.680
And so this is where we fall off.

320
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.480
People are like, well, maybe it's not pure.

321
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.680
Maybe it's just my flesh that wants it.

322
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.520
Have you been delighting in the Lord?

323
00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:38.680
Do you love him?

324
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.680
Give me some hearts if you love God.

325
00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:43.720
And I don't mean perfectly.

326
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.760
I mean imperfectly.

327
00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:46.240
Because in case you didn't realize it,

328
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.840
you're living in this flesh suit.

329
00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:50.240
You're never going to do anything perfectly.

330
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:51.900
You're going to mess up.

331
00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:53.280
You're going to give into temptation.

332
00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:54.260
You're going to sin.

333
00:17:54.260 --> 00:17:56.780
That's why Jesus came to die for you.

334
00:17:56.780 --> 00:17:58.480
He's not giving us permission to sin,

335
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.100
but he has covered sin.

336
00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:05.580
He has.

337
00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:07.340
He died for you and as you,

338
00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:09.260
so that you can continue to mature

339
00:18:09.260 --> 00:18:12.140
and continue to grow and continue to learn.

340
00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.220
For all of you that messed up in your life,

341
00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:16.460
for all of you that messed up yesterday,

342
00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:18.380
the most important thing is not that you messed up.

343
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.240
It's what did you learn?

344
00:18:24.040 --> 00:18:26.240
The only danger is continuing in folly.

345
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.960
The only danger is continuing to make the dumb,

346
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.360
the same dumb mistake over and over and over and over.

347
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:34.480
And guess what?

348
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.320
Guess what?

349
00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:36.720
That's a heart situation.

350
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.760
That's rooted.

351
00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:44.200
If we keep having the same fruit pop up,

352
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.000
same fruit, different day,

353
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.040
that means it's connected to a root.

354
00:18:49.040 --> 00:18:50.160
We got to let Holy Spirit remove the root

355
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.260
or the fruit is going to continue to come.

356
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:56.720
Jealousy is coming to my spirit right now.

357
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.240
If you continue to be envious of other people,

358
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.560
jealous of other people,

359
00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:04.060
not be happy for other people's success,

360
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.760
that's rooted in fear.

361
00:19:06.760 --> 00:19:08.000
Jealousy is rooted in fear,

362
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.080
just in case you didn't know.

363
00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:10.000
I know it's really ugly

364
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.800
and we think that it's rooted in ugly, ugly things,

365
00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:13.680
but let me let you know,

366
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.520
fear is the ugliest thing that anything can be rooted in

367
00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:19.160
because it's the opposite of love.

368
00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:22.120
It's the opposite of love,

369
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.560
not hatred, fear.

370
00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:29.480
Hatred comes from fear.

371
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.060
Jealousy comes from fear.

372
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.060
Dishonesty comes from fear.

373
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.340
All of it.

374
00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:42.920
And so if you have something popping up

375
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.320
that continues to sabotage your success in life,

376
00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:48.680
make you feel shame,

377
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.240
once again, origin, fear.

378
00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:59.100
So let's deal with that.

379
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.920
But most of us are doing the best that we can.

380
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.600
So when it comes to delighting in the Lord, it's not a perfect science.

381
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

382
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

383
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.920
to be in worship.

384
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.920
It's not about that.

385
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.920
It's about a heart posture.

386
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.320
Do you love God?

387
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:27.780
Do you love him?

388
00:20:27.780 --> 00:20:32.340
When you think about his love, does it make you feel a little weepy-eyed?

389
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:37.420
When you think about his goodness, when you think about the things that he's done for

390
00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:42.620
you, when you revisit those landmarks and those memorials in your life of where God

391
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

392
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.700
it cause your heart to be full of joy and gratitude?

393
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:55.120
Then you delight in the Lord, my friend.

394
00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:02.640
And that is the only criteria for consummation or conception of dreams in your heart.

395
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

396
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:13.520
beginning of this, where you drive by something, you have a thought.

397
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:15.160
Dreams start out as thoughts.

398
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.720
They start out as curiosity.

399
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:23.320
Has anyone ever just become curious about something super random and you Googled it

400
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.960
because you're just curious about it?

401
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:27.360
You just want to know more about it.

402
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:35.320
Something very random that you've never thought of before, and you're like, huh, that is a

403
00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:37.920
little God wink that leads somewhere.

404
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:40.480
That's a little love note trail.

405
00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:46.400
I used to call it a breadcrumb trail until breadcrumbing became something that love

406
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:48.600
bombers and narcissists do.

407
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:51.000
It's like psychology hijacked.

408
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:59.000
A fun word, but also breadcrumbing is kind of from the very macabre fairy tale Hansel

409
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.880
and Gretel, so we don't want that either.

410
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:05.600
We don't want to be breadcrumb to the witch's house where she's going to eat us later.

411
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.520
So for those of you that don't know American fairy tales, you're like, wait, what?

412
00:22:10.800 --> 00:22:12.480
Yeah. Yeah.

413
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:16.400
Disney took all these fairy tales and made them into fun cartoons.

414
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.600
But the actual fairy tales, the grim fairy tales are grim.

415
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:27.600
My friends, they are super scary, super scary situations.

416
00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:33.000
So God just leaves us little notes, little love notes leading us places.

417
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.240
And so if you ever have a random thought like, hey, you know, I'm kind of curious about

418
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.280
that. Be curious about it.

419
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.760
Look into it, see where it leads you.

420
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.720
It could just be the first love note on the trail that leads you somewhere totally

421
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.760
different, but that's how you got there.

422
00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:52.920
That's how you got there.

423
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:58.760
I've heard all kinds of origin stories of people's dreams, you guys, all kinds of

424
00:22:58.760 --> 00:23:03.120
origin stories. I have a really great doctor and you guys know that it's hard to find a

425
00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:04.320
really good doctor, right?

426
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.040
I have a really good doctor back in Ohio, and I just hate that I can't see him regularly

427
00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:12.200
because I love him and he's such a good doctor.

428
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.920
It doesn't matter what he practices, what type of medicine he practices, if you could

429
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.120
take him and put him in any type of medicine.

430
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.240
He could be an OBGYN, he could be an internal doctor, he could be a cardiologist,

431
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.080
doesn't matter, he would be a good doctor no matter what type of medicine he practices.

432
00:23:31.080 --> 00:23:34.280
And the reason why is because he has the heart of a good doctor.

433
00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:36.200
But you know how he got it?

434
00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:41.280
This is all Holy Spirit right now, you guys, we're just flowing in the spirit.

435
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.440
I asked him one day because he's such a good doctor, he has such a great bedside

436
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.200
manner, he's so caring, he's so knowledgeable, he's so skilled.

437
00:23:49.520 --> 00:23:52.360
I said, hey, when did you know you wanted to become a doctor?

438
00:23:54.080 --> 00:23:57.280
And he kind of lit up a little bit, like he loves to tell this story.

439
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:02.160
And he said, actually, he said, I had a bad accident when I was a kid.

440
00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:07.720
So his origin story of his dream comes from trauma.

441
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.880
It comes from when he was a kid, he was playing soccer, he's an Indian man, he's

442
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.760
not from India, he's born here, but you know, he's playing football, okay, football,

443
00:24:17.760 --> 00:24:22.680
soccer, and he was playing it and something happened that caused him to become

444
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.040
injured and he broke his pelvis.

445
00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:32.000
And he was, I think, nine or 10 years old, which resulted in him being in the

446
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.800
hospital for three or four months, you guys, in one of those hospitals that

447
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.080
you guys, in one of those body casts where your legs are up, you know what I'm

448
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:43.960
talking about? Have you ever seen any kind of movies or any kind of pictures of

449
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.720
someone? Maybe one of you have been in a body cast before.

450
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:51.440
See, he's in a body cast from the waist down with his legs in traction, laying

451
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.880
still as a 10 year old boy in the hospital for several months.

452
00:24:56.320 --> 00:25:00.000
You and I could probably imagine that for anyone that would be terrible before.

453
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
10-year-old boy, that would be very bad, especially a very active, athletic boy.

454
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

455
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

456
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

457
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

458
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.

459
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

460
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,

461
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.240
to revive marriage in the earth, to help people choose right,

462
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

463
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

464
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

465
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:23.360
lots and lots of divorces for everybody.

466
00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:27.360
You see what I'm saying?

467
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.160
So when you're curious about something or something happens that makes you

468
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.

469
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

470
00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:50.640
certain organization that has really helped you. And the thought has come into your heart, man,

471
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.280
I'd really like to work for that organization. When I get on my feet,

472
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.

473
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

474
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

475
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

476
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.

477
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,

478
00:27:39.520 --> 00:27:43.520
and I want to let you guys know, they could be fragile little seeds.

479
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

480
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

481
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.

482
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,

483
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?

484
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.440
First of all, he wasn't mature enough to understand the meaning of the dream.

485
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.

486
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.

487
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

488
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,

489
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

490
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

491
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?

492
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:06.160
We're honest, hardworking people. You're telling us that you're going to be rich.

493
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:10.960
How are you going to be rich? So you have to be careful with your dreams.

494
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.

495
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.840
Tiny little seed of conception sewn into her heart through a very supernatural experience.

496
00:29:26.560 --> 00:29:30.000
And some of the desires of your heart have come through supernatural experiences.

497
00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:34.320
You were in prayer and you felt like God spoke something to you. You weren't even asking him

498
00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:38.800
for anything, but he spoke something to you anyway. You were in worship. God spoke something

499
00:29:38.800 --> 00:29:45.360
to you in a dream. God showed you something. Supernatural things do happen that begin the

500
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:52.000
path towards some sort of outcome, some sort of dream.

501
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.200
Now this wasn't a dream of a little teenage Mary's heart.

502
00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:07.200
to be the mother of the Messiah, but her heart must have been a fertile place

503
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:13.360
because God saw her and he favored her above all women and chose her for

504
00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:23.040
this. Chose her for this, right? And that's another thing that I think we can just put into

505
00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:27.360
this Supernatural Saturday. A lot of times you are going to feel disqualified for the desires

506
00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:34.880
of your heart. You are going to feel not good enough. If you have a dream in your heart that

507
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.880
you feel good enough for, and you also feel like you could perform it or make it happen

508
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:46.320
in your own abilities, it's probably not a God dream. Probably thinking a little bit too small.

509
00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:52.800
It could be part of a God dream, but the God part of it's probably a lot bigger.

510
00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:57.120
Like I said, the last Supernatural Saturday, a lot of us never make it to God's part.

511
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.920
Because we don't do our part. We don't even make it to God's part. We don't even make it. We don't

512
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:06.880
even do the natural, so we don't make it to the Supernatural. That's another part of my proverb

513
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:12.880
that I'm going to share today. It says, know the importance of the season that you're in and a wise

514
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.560
son you'll be. But then it goes on to say, but what a waste when an incompetent son sleeps through

515
00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:24.320
his day of opportunity. You guys, the word incompetent just means not having the skill to

516
00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:29.920
be successful. You know where you get the skill to be successful? Through practice. You know where

517
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.120
you get the skill to be successful? Through mentorship, through coaching. That's why you're

518
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:39.760
here. If you knew how to do this, then you would have already done it. Right? If you understood

519
00:31:39.760 --> 00:31:45.120
what you were missing, then you would just make it happen. So a lot of us don't even make it to

520
00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:50.560
God's part because we don't do our part. We don't do our part. And a lot of times we don't do our

521
00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:57.200
part because we really don't even know what our part is. We just don't. And that's why Holy Spirit

522
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:01.840
is an instructor and a teacher. And that's why Holy Spirit works through people, coaches, mentors,

523
00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:06.640
people like me, people like other people in your life, in different areas that will coach and

524
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:13.280
mentor you and help you. If you want to go slow, go alone. If you want to go fast, get a coach,

525
00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:18.320
get a mentor, come into a like-minded community where your dreams are going to be fed and they're

526
00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:23.520
going to be watered and they're going to be prayed for. The seven-day-a-week prayer that we

527
00:32:23.520 --> 00:32:28.640
have for all of you that are new, that's not a new thing for us. I'm an intercessor. I'm a prayer

528
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:34.000
warrior. That is my position, my very most important primary position in the kingdom of God.

529
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.760
When I came in the kingdom at 22, that is how God used me and utilized me. And I continue to be used

530
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:43.840
and utilized that way. And all of my greatest dreams have been birthed through intercession

531
00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:52.880
for others. So as soon as I started this community back in 2020, I immediately instituted

532
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.160
seven-day-a-week prayer. And I led every single prayer session until God sent me people that

533
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:06.640
had the skills to lead it as well. I was diligent over that. If you want to live out your dream,

534
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.480
it's going to require discipline. It's going to require diligence. It's going to require

535
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:16.720
showing up when you don't feel like it. It will require those things that will be your part,

536
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.080
that will be your natural, that God puts his super on. And it's going to look different

537
00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:31.520
for everybody. But I knew in order to come out from obscurity, it's a one thing to be praying

538
00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:35.600
behind the scenes. It's another thing to come publicly and say, we're going to have a revival

539
00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:40.320
of marriage and family. Guess that? That attracts every demon in the world. They all

540
00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:45.760
turned their heads and said, what? Because marriage and family is public enemy number

541
00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:52.000
one to the kingdom of darkness. And you cannot have a ministry like that if you are not going

542
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:56.960
to have a prayer covering. And so all of you make up that prayer covering. And I'm so thankful.

543
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:02.000
Thank you for coming to prayer. That is what you're doing when you come to prayer. You may

544
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.440
not be the leader of that prayer session, but your voice in unity together is what causes the

545
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:11.840
prayer covering to happen. It's not the leader. The leader is just making sure that there's not

546
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.199
chaos. You're just making sure that everything gets done in order and everyone gets to pray.

547
00:34:16.560 --> 00:34:24.320
You are the VIPs. You coming and using your gift to pray, using your desire to pray.

548
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.280
That is what causes the covering. If you ever wonder how we've had 1600 plus success stories,

549
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:38.239
it's because of you. It's not because of me. Yes, I gave my yes, but after I gave my yes,

550
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.280
you gave your yes and you gave your yes and you gave your yes and you gave your yes. And

551
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:50.400
all of our yeses together is what causes us to happen. And prayer is the lifeblood of this.

552
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.239
So please, if you haven't been showing up to prayer, please try to.

553
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.440
Sunday night's a good time to show up to prayer. If you work during the week and just

554
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.960
during the time of prayer,

555
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.420
maybe you can come on your lunch break sometimes.

556
00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:05.280
You can also just pray during the time

557
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:06.280
that you know we're praying,

558
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:07.840
even if you're not on with us.

559
00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:10.680
You can just pray silently at your desk

560
00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:11.520
while you're working, like,

561
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:15.820
oh, hey, my family, my community is praying right now.

562
00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:17.700
I'm gonna add my prayers to theirs.

563
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.160
Guys, there's no distance in the spirit.

564
00:35:21.160 --> 00:35:23.160
We don't have to be on Zoom together

565
00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:26.020
in order for your prayers to come into unity with ours.

566
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:32.760
This is good today, you guys.

567
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:34.600
I mean, it's always good.

568
00:35:34.600 --> 00:35:36.240
It's always good because it's God,

569
00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:39.160
but I really feel like

570
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:41.200
God's trying to show us something today.

571
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.040
I know there's some correction here,

572
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.400
but God just showed me this this morning,

573
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.520
and this is a different proverb.

574
00:35:46.520 --> 00:35:47.680
It's not my Proverb 10

575
00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:49.920
that I'm covering today on Wisdom Challenge,

576
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.240
but it says that God corrects,

577
00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:57.620
it says a father corrects the sons that he loves, right?

578
00:35:58.620 --> 00:36:00.700
And this is what God said to me this morning.

579
00:36:00.700 --> 00:36:02.120
He said, what's the difference

580
00:36:02.120 --> 00:36:04.040
between correction and punishment?

581
00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:08.180
The answer is love.

582
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.420
The same very thing could be being said

583
00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:17.060
for correction or for punishment,

584
00:36:17.060 --> 00:36:19.220
and the way a person's going to receive it

585
00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:21.480
is whether or not they feel loved by you.

586
00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:24.600
And I hope you guys feel loved by me.

587
00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:26.700
I hope you feel loved by me.

588
00:36:26.740 --> 00:36:28.540
I know I can be kind of strong sometimes.

589
00:36:28.540 --> 00:36:30.640
I know I can be a little direct sometimes,

590
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:32.860
but I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you,

591
00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:33.840
each and every one of you.

592
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.860
I wouldn't be here if I didn't love your lineage

593
00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:38.540
and your legacy, if I didn't love your love story.

594
00:36:38.540 --> 00:36:39.500
I wouldn't be here.

595
00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.780
I wouldn't be doing this

596
00:36:42.060 --> 00:36:43.100
because the warfare is real,

597
00:36:43.100 --> 00:36:45.780
and I'm not glamorizing or celebrating it.

598
00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:47.280
I'm saying it is, though.

599
00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:51.540
And that's why prayer is so important,

600
00:36:51.540 --> 00:36:52.880
and that's why you praying for me

601
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.940
and you praying for the other leaders of this movement

602
00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:56.300
and praying for each other,

603
00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.580
even if you can't be on prayer with us,

604
00:36:58.580 --> 00:37:00.300
is so very important to all of us

605
00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.980
because we need that covering.

606
00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:05.020
And I think that we're gonna need it even stronger in 26

607
00:37:05.020 --> 00:37:06.740
because I think that what we've seen,

608
00:37:06.740 --> 00:37:08.120
we ain't seen nothing yet.

609
00:37:09.060 --> 00:37:13.160
I think we're going to see an explosion of kingdom family,

610
00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:16.980
and we are going to be the forerunners of it

611
00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:19.420
because we have been tilling the ground

612
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.720
and planting the seed.

613
00:37:22.060 --> 00:37:24.680
Harvest comes to people who have seed in the ground,

614
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:28.680
and friends, we have a lot of seed in the ground,

615
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.800
a lot of seed in the ground.

616
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.800
And guess what?

617
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.200
God's gonna send the rain.

618
00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:35.360
And so what the difference is between correction

619
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.080
and rebuke and punishment is love

620
00:37:39.080 --> 00:37:40.600
and whether or not someone feels loved.

621
00:37:40.600 --> 00:37:42.520
And I want someone to take that with them.

622
00:37:42.520 --> 00:37:44.480
I wasn't gonna share that on today,

623
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.760
but I think that you need that for people in your life.

624
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.520
I think that those of you that are parenting,

625
00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:51.120
those of you that have other people,

626
00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:53.680
maybe you're an employer and you have employees,

627
00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:56.160
if you want them to receive your correction,

628
00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:58.560
they need to know that you care for them.

629
00:37:58.560 --> 00:37:59.480
Remember that old saying,

630
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.840
people don't care what you know

631
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.440
until they know that you care.

632
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.880
They don't care how much you know

633
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.580
until they know how much you care.

634
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:12.360
And so you need to spend some time showing love

635
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.520
and not just discipline

636
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.920
because otherwise it's going to be received as punishment,

637
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.080
even though you're just trying to correct,

638
00:38:21.080 --> 00:38:22.680
it will be received as punishment.

639
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:23.500
And then guess what?

640
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:25.260
Punishment oftentimes,

641
00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:27.780
especially from someone who doesn't think

642
00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:30.220
that you're doing it because you love them

643
00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:34.340
is going to cause resentment and possibly even rebellion.

644
00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:38.500
That man, that's a word for somebody.

645
00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:40.220
You have in trouble with your kids.

646
00:38:40.220 --> 00:38:41.780
They're not listening to you.

647
00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:43.220
They don't trust you.

648
00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:48.660
I know that's a hard word to receive,

649
00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:53.300
but I've lived that with my parents, not with my children.

650
00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:56.420
My children listen to me because they trust me

651
00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:58.540
because when I messed up,

652
00:38:58.540 --> 00:39:00.300
I told them that I messed up.

653
00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:01.420
I humbled myself.

654
00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:04.220
I asked for forgiveness to my children

655
00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:07.500
when I popped off in anger or said the wrong thing

656
00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:09.180
or said something that, you know,

657
00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:10.420
they're like, mom, that's not true.

658
00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:11.300
And I'm like, yes, it is.

659
00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:12.420
I'm your mother, listen to me.

660
00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:13.780
And then I come back and be like, you're right.

661
00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:15.100
It's not true.

662
00:39:15.100 --> 00:39:16.100
I was wrong.

663
00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:18.020
I went and checked the facts and I realized,

664
00:39:18.020 --> 00:39:21.740
oh, they did do their homework

665
00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:23.180
or they did take out the trash

666
00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.780
or they did whatever.

667
00:39:24.780 --> 00:39:26.940
And I would come in humility and say, please forgive me.

668
00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:28.940
I'm just a human.

669
00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.780
I made a mistake.

670
00:39:29.780 --> 00:39:30.620
I'm sorry.

671
00:39:30.620 --> 00:39:31.460
I love you.

672
00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:36.300
That's why they trust me.

673
00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:38.700
Cause it wasn't, I'm the parents.

674
00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:43.580
It's my way or the highway because I said so.

675
00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:44.820
I wasn't that parent.

676
00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:49.820
I wasn't.

677
00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:52.660
And now my kids are grownups

678
00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:55.740
and other grownups that I hang out with,

679
00:39:55.740 --> 00:39:57.820
other parents, they're like, man,

680
00:39:57.820 --> 00:39:59.820
your kids really love to be around you.

681
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.240
Every time you're going somewhere,

682
00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:03.080
your kids are like wanting to go too.

683
00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:06.320
Like every trip I go on, I have one of my kids with me

684
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.060
and they're like, how is this, how is this working?

685
00:40:08.060 --> 00:40:10.200
I can't get my kids to even come over.

686
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:13.040
Well, because my kids like me, that's how.

687
00:40:13.040 --> 00:40:17.080
And if that is not your reality,

688
00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:19.120
remember you can have heaven's reality.

689
00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:21.600
If that's not your reality right now,

690
00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:22.760
it can become your reality.

691
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:23.880
You're like, no, it's too late.

692
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:24.920
It's not too late.

693
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.520
It's not too late.

694
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.280
Love covers a multitude of wrongdoing.

695
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.680
Love covers a multitude of mistakes.

696
00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:39.540
Love covers, which is in my proverb for today, offense.

697
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.800
You're like, well, how can I write the ship, Jackie?

698
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.000
You can begin to show love even if it's not reciprocated.

699
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.480
Not manipulation, not for a desired outcome.

700
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.000
You can't control the outcome.

701
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.960
All you can do is sow the seed.

702
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.840
God's the one that has to give the increase.

703
00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.720
Sow the seed.

704
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.840
Love.

705
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:04.360
Support.

706
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.200
You're like, well, they're no contact with me, okay?

707
00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:10.040
Pray.

708
00:41:13.520 --> 00:41:14.400
Repent.

709
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.240
I don't know what I did wrong, Jackie.

710
00:41:19.240 --> 00:41:20.720
Doesn't matter.

711
00:41:20.720 --> 00:41:22.320
Repent of everything.

712
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:25.720
Humble yourself.

713
00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:28.800
This is really a word for somebody, you guys,

714
00:41:29.080 --> 00:41:31.080
that's not even part of today's Supernatural Saturday.

715
00:41:31.080 --> 00:41:33.400
It's a word for probably more than one somebody.

716
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.640
It could be not your children.

717
00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:35.480
It could be a sibling.

718
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:36.400
It could be your parents.

719
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.720
It could be a best friendship that you really, really miss

720
00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:43.960
and you know that it ended badly because of hard hearts.

721
00:41:45.080 --> 00:41:46.120
It could be anything.

722
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:49.640
It could be anything.

723
00:41:49.640 --> 00:41:52.080
All right, let's go back to our dreams.

724
00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:53.440
Gonna be on here for about 10 more minutes

725
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:55.320
and then I have to go get ready.

726
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.360
Once again, you can sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

727
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.760
Please use our link to sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

728
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.000
Even though it's free,

729
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:03.880
they are keeping track of how many people that we bring in

730
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:06.440
and there are special bonuses and different things.

731
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:11.440
And so go to the link in your resource page to sign up.

732
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:13.720
I also sent out an email.

733
00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:16.760
You can go find that as well if you get my emails.

734
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.520
If you don't get my email, sign up for the emails.

735
00:42:19.520 --> 00:42:21.760
I send stuff out, all right?

736
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:22.760
I don't send out a lot of stuff.

737
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:24.680
I'm not gonna spam you, I promise.

738
00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:26.240
I barely send out emails.

739
00:42:26.240 --> 00:42:30.080
And so go and sign up through that.

740
00:42:30.080 --> 00:42:33.680
And you can, if you do it quickly after we end today,

741
00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:35.360
you can be on there today.

742
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.240
And you guys, if you are on there,

743
00:42:37.240 --> 00:42:40.040
when I come on and stuff, just do a bunch of heart emojis.

744
00:42:40.040 --> 00:42:41.280
Let me know you're there

745
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.560
because I just wanna see who's there watching

746
00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:46.640
when I come on and start talking.

747
00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:47.920
And it's gonna be a good time.

748
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.480
I know that it will be.

749
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.560
All right, and you guys listen to the last nine days too.

750
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:53.680
If you're just signing up today,

751
00:42:53.680 --> 00:42:54.960
listen to the last nine days.

752
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.240
Some amazing voices of wisdom.

753
00:42:57.240 --> 00:43:00.320
Every single day, amazing voices of wisdom.

754
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.720
It's really great to start your year out right.

755
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:05.800
Clarity has to come before momentum.

756
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.440
You can't run a hundred miles an hour without clarity

757
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.760
because you're gonna hit a dead end for sure.

758
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:12.760
All right, so let's talk about this.

759
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.480
Dream killers versus dream givers

760
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.080
or dream protectors, dream keepers.

761
00:43:19.240 --> 00:43:21.800
Not everyone deserves access to your dream.

762
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:23.720
You may have close friends and family

763
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.160
that like Mary, you're gonna ponder this in your heart.

764
00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:27.120
You know what would have happened

765
00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:28.680
if Mary would have told people

766
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.760
that she believed that she was impregnated

767
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.440
by the Holy Spirit?

768
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.400
Yeah, that wouldn't have gone over well.

769
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:39.000
It wouldn't have.

770
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.040
You see how God covered it up, right?

771
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:43.480
He appeared to the one person who really needed to know

772
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.120
and that was Joseph.

773
00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:47.920
He was the one person that needed to know

774
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:49.200
and then he took her anyway.

775
00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:51.600
So it's better thinking that she got pregnant

776
00:43:51.600 --> 00:43:54.640
right before they got married by Joseph

777
00:43:54.640 --> 00:43:58.080
than it was people knowing the truth.

778
00:43:58.080 --> 00:43:58.920
Amen?

779
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.080
And God will protect your dream.

780
00:44:03.080 --> 00:44:05.360
He will protect it, but will you?

781
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.760
During these fragile, fragile times of it growing,

782
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.320
are you going to let someone come in and try to execute it?

783
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:18.720
Someone come in with their words and try to abort it?

784
00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:20.360
Especially someone that you really care

785
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:21.640
about the opinion of,

786
00:44:21.640 --> 00:44:23.840
someone that really has influence over you,

787
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:25.920
you gotta be careful because if they're a negative person

788
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.120
or a fearful person, they're the wrong person.

789
00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:31.960
I know that you want their approval,

790
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:33.760
but you're gonna have to get over it

791
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.520
because their approval actually might abort your dream

792
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:42.560
because they're a fearful person.

793
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:45.440
They're gonna introduce all kinds of,

794
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.040
well, what if this and what if that,

795
00:44:47.040 --> 00:44:49.720
and that's not safe.

796
00:44:50.080 --> 00:44:53.400
And just like, no, I had that happen to me yesterday.

797
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:55.520
Yesterday.

798
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.000
I talked about something.

799
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.520
that I'm already in the launching process of

800
00:45:04.520 --> 00:45:07.240
with someone that I really admire and respect,

801
00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:08.920
but I know that they are someone

802
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.560
who always sees the storm clouds.

803
00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:17.000
And I knew that before I said it.

804
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.400
And yet I was so excited about it

805
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:19.440
that I just blurted it out

806
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.680
and then they were smack down.

807
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.920
I'm gonna do it anyway, but I just wanna say that.

808
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.720
Okay, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

809
00:45:31.720 --> 00:45:33.520
And friends, those people are not bad people.

810
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:34.680
They think they're protecting you.

811
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:38.320
They do it out of concern, right?

812
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.600
Some people do it out of jealousy

813
00:45:40.600 --> 00:45:41.680
and they wanna keep you small,

814
00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:43.400
but a lot of people do it out of concern.

815
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.240
So not everyone deserves access to your dream.

816
00:45:45.240 --> 00:45:46.440
I have a few notes here,

817
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.960
but what you have to understand is that your dream is alive

818
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.720
before it even manifests, before it's even accomplished,

819
00:45:52.720 --> 00:45:54.880
it's alive, it's a living thing.

820
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.800
If I asked you to raise your hand,

821
00:45:59.560 --> 00:46:02.320
if you believe that abortion kills a human life,

822
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.160
I think most of you would raise your hand in here.

823
00:46:04.160 --> 00:46:05.920
And I don't wanna get into an abortion topic.

824
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.400
I don't wanna get into whether it's right or wrong

825
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:08.640
or all those things.

826
00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:12.440
But I think we all believe that it is a child,

827
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.440
it is a life that is being snuffed out in abortion.

828
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:18.680
Well, guess what?

829
00:46:18.680 --> 00:46:20.920
Your dream is alive the same way

830
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.840
that any other product of conception is alive.

831
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:25.520
I want you to really understand that.

832
00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:28.560
Even if it hasn't fully formed, it's alive in the same way.

833
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.280
Why? Because God's words are life.

834
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:32.320
They're alive.

835
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.560
They're alive, they're living things.

836
00:46:36.560 --> 00:46:38.720
They're little power containers of life.

837
00:46:40.120 --> 00:46:41.800
And so even though you think it's just a thought,

838
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:45.880
you think it's just a spark, it's not, it's alive.

839
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:50.960
Yes, it's alive.

840
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.960
And so your dream is alive before it's accomplished,

841
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.400
before it's manifested, before it's fully formed,

842
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.160
before you have it in your hot little hands,

843
00:46:58.760 --> 00:46:59.600
it is alive.

844
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:02.280
And this is the gestation period.

845
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.040
And all gestation periods for dreams are different.

846
00:47:05.040 --> 00:47:08.880
Some dreams gestate for decades before they come to pass.

847
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:11.160
So for those of you who are like,

848
00:47:11.160 --> 00:47:12.920
man, my dream didn't come to pass,

849
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.840
I must've done something wrong, I must've aborted it.

850
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:16.600
No, it might be one of those dreams

851
00:47:16.600 --> 00:47:18.160
that has a longer gestation.

852
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:20.640
You know why?

853
00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:22.440
Because those dreams require a higher level

854
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.240
of responsibility and maturity.

855
00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:26.440
And marriage is one of those.

856
00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.280
The good news is I believe that all of you

857
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:29.760
in this community are at the end

858
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.080
of your gestation period for partnership.

859
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:33.120
That's why you're here.

860
00:47:33.120 --> 00:47:35.360
I don't believe that God calls people into here

861
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:36.960
when they still have 20 years to go

862
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.240
before their partnership.

863
00:47:39.520 --> 00:47:42.440
I feel like we're kind of part of the midwife team

864
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.440
that helps you give birth to that thing.

865
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:47.480
Okay, all right.

866
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.560
So some people don't kill your dreams with hatred,

867
00:47:50.560 --> 00:47:53.000
they don't hate you, they don't hate your dream,

868
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:54.760
but they kill them with concern.

869
00:47:55.680 --> 00:47:57.720
They're concerned for you.

870
00:47:57.720 --> 00:47:59.560
And we all know people who are concerned,

871
00:47:59.560 --> 00:48:01.000
they're worriers, they're worriers,

872
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.000
they worry about everything.

873
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.320
You know what God told me?

874
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.280
My word for 2026?

875
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.920
He said, Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

876
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:10.800
And this is what he said next.

877
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.880
He said, if you can control it, control it.

878
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.560
And if you can't, give it to me.

879
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.240
Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

880
00:48:20.240 --> 00:48:21.880
If you can control it, control it.

881
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.520
And if you can't, not control fear, not control worry,

882
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:27.760
control the thing that you're worried about.

883
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:32.040
If you can control it, then control it.

884
00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:34.240
But if you can't control it, don't worry about it,

885
00:48:34.240 --> 00:48:35.400
give it to me.

886
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:39.040
Understand Jesus Cares Board should be alive and well

887
00:48:39.040 --> 00:48:40.520
in 2026.

888
00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:43.760
You should have more things than ever on that board

889
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.600
for God to participate in.

890
00:48:45.600 --> 00:48:47.280
All right, number two.

891
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.640
Number one, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

892
00:48:49.640 --> 00:48:51.080
Sometimes silence is the way

893
00:48:51.080 --> 00:48:52.200
you're gonna steward your dream.

894
00:48:52.200 --> 00:48:53.920
You're not gonna tell anyone right now.

895
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.200
You're just going to talk to the Lord about it.

896
00:48:57.160 --> 00:48:58.800
You're gonna put it on your Jesus Cares Board.

897
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.000
You're gonna pray over it.

898
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.280
That's what you're gonna do.

899
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:02.120
All right, number two.

900
00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:07.120
Wise counsel is very different than fearful commentary.

901
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.800
Sometimes fear sounds wise, doesn't it?

902
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.120
It sounds wise when it's coming at us

903
00:49:14.120 --> 00:49:16.280
from someone that we trust and respect.

904
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:19.160
But you guys, if it causes you to walk away afraid,

905
00:49:19.160 --> 00:49:21.360
it was not wise, it was fear.

906
00:49:22.520 --> 00:49:26.800
If you walk away with some clarity, like, yeah, okay.

907
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:28.560
Some clarity has come.

908
00:49:28.560 --> 00:49:30.600
Cool, it was probably wise counsel.

909
00:49:30.600 --> 00:49:32.080
If you walk away being afraid,

910
00:49:32.080 --> 00:49:33.440
wondering if you should even do this,

911
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:38.440
more confused than when you started, that was not wisdom.

912
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:40.880
Wisdom does not cause confusion.

913
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:41.960
All right, y'all are just staring at me

914
00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:43.200
like a cow at a new gate.

915
00:49:43.200 --> 00:49:44.800
Does anyone learn anything today?

916
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:45.760
Raise your hand.

917
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:47.640
Give me some hearts, some emojis.

918
00:49:47.680 --> 00:49:49.440
Some of y'all need to inform your face

919
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.320
that you're having a good time up in here.

920
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:55.200
Because I'm thinking of the scripture,

921
00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:58.520
do not look at their faces.

922
00:49:58.520 --> 00:50:00.120
Continue to speak.

923
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.280
Do not regard their stern expressions.

924
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:06.360
You guys know I like to have fun.

925
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.640
All right, wise counsel will ask you clarifying questions.

926
00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:12.620
They'll ask you why you want your dream.

927
00:50:12.620 --> 00:50:15.820
They'll ask you what your plan is for your dream.

928
00:50:15.820 --> 00:50:18.600
This is a good person to bounce things off of.

929
00:50:18.600 --> 00:50:20.020
They're gonna ask you questions.

930
00:50:20.020 --> 00:50:22.600
They're gonna ask you, hey, have you ever thought of this?

931
00:50:24.080 --> 00:50:25.220
What about this?

932
00:50:26.200 --> 00:50:29.260
Neutral, not negative, not necessarily even positive,

933
00:50:29.260 --> 00:50:33.300
just neutral questions, things to make you think, all right?

934
00:50:33.300 --> 00:50:36.660
Fearful commentary is gonna give you worst case scenarios.

935
00:50:37.820 --> 00:50:40.260
They're going to try to give you worst case scenarios.

936
00:50:40.260 --> 00:50:42.200
They're gonna try to talk about the liability

937
00:50:42.200 --> 00:50:45.020
of the decision, the liability of the path

938
00:50:45.020 --> 00:50:47.700
or the course or the idea, all right?

939
00:50:47.700 --> 00:50:50.100
Only that thing, and it's gonna be through the lens

940
00:50:50.100 --> 00:50:52.940
of the glass is half empty, or you better watch your back,

941
00:50:52.940 --> 00:50:55.340
you better sleep with one eye open kind of idea.

942
00:50:56.500 --> 00:50:58.340
It's okay, wise people will ask you

943
00:50:58.340 --> 00:50:59.660
if you've counted the costs.

944
00:50:59.660 --> 00:51:04.660
They'll ask you if your schedule can support this dream.

945
00:51:06.300 --> 00:51:09.660
I've been doing this with one of my leaders just recently.

946
00:51:09.660 --> 00:51:12.620
I've been coming as a voice of wisdom, not negativity

947
00:51:12.620 --> 00:51:15.340
and saying, hey, do you have room in your life for this?

948
00:51:16.700 --> 00:51:18.880
I do all of that with you guys too.

949
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:21.320
When I coach you guys, like, hey, you really want marriage,

950
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:24.060
but do you have the bandwidth for marriage?

951
00:51:24.060 --> 00:51:25.820
Marriage takes up a lot of time.

952
00:51:25.820 --> 00:51:28.280
Dating towards marriage takes up a lot of time.

953
00:51:29.120 --> 00:51:32.040
Have you cleared the way for your dream?

954
00:51:32.040 --> 00:51:33.680
Dreams will require pruning.

955
00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:37.280
They will require letting go of things,

956
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:40.080
even good things in order to get great things.

957
00:51:40.080 --> 00:51:41.080
We won't get into that today.

958
00:51:41.080 --> 00:51:42.720
That's a whole different conversation,

959
00:51:42.720 --> 00:51:45.140
but wise counsel will ask you those questions.

960
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:49.960
They won't just, oh, yay, wonderful, okay.

961
00:51:50.900 --> 00:51:52.360
I'm so excited for you.

962
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:56.480
No, they'll say, hey, I know that you want this promotion

963
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.800
at work, but you're a single mom.

964
00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:03.360
And every time I come over your house,

965
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.200
you're always behind the eight ball.

966
00:52:07.460 --> 00:52:09.800
Are you gonna get some help at home?

967
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:11.460
Like, what's gonna look like at home

968
00:52:11.460 --> 00:52:13.180
for you to take this promotion?

969
00:52:13.180 --> 00:52:14.020
Are you gonna get some help?

970
00:52:14.020 --> 00:52:16.400
Are you gonna ask for some help?

971
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.640
Are you going to use this extra money that you're making

972
00:52:18.640 --> 00:52:20.940
and employ some help at home?

973
00:52:22.160 --> 00:52:25.760
There is no harm and no foul to use some extra money

974
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:27.720
to do things that you don't have time to do.

975
00:52:27.720 --> 00:52:29.960
Like someone come and clean once a month,

976
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:33.200
someone maybe pre-order or pre-make you some food.

977
00:52:33.200 --> 00:52:35.880
You know, there's no harm in that stuff, friends.

978
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:37.640
Don't think you have to do it all yourself

979
00:52:37.640 --> 00:52:39.920
because if you think you have to do it all yourself,

980
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.160
you will try and you will also fail.

981
00:52:44.220 --> 00:52:46.120
Okay, all right.

982
00:52:46.120 --> 00:52:49.340
So fearful people will say, you know,

983
00:52:49.340 --> 00:52:51.000
what if you lose everything?

984
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:54.800
They'll just say things that it's wisdom,

985
00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:59.120
it's not wisdom, but it's fear dressed up as wisdom.

986
00:52:59.120 --> 00:53:00.720
It's fear dressed up as wisdom.

987
00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:03.960
And you'll know the difference by how you feel inside

988
00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:06.760
when you leave their presence, okay?

989
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:07.600
Right?

990
00:53:08.740 --> 00:53:10.160
Because this is what I want you to know.

991
00:53:10.160 --> 00:53:12.240
Even if it's someone that you really love dearly,

992
00:53:12.240 --> 00:53:13.680
fear is still fear.

993
00:53:14.680 --> 00:53:16.240
Fear is still fear.

994
00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:17.640
Fear is always fear,

995
00:53:17.640 --> 00:53:21.000
even when the source it's coming from loves you.

996
00:53:21.160 --> 00:53:24.160
They may love you, but there's no fear in love.

997
00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:25.400
Amen, amen.

998
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:26.560
All right, we got to hurry.

999
00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:27.720
I said I was going to get off early

1000
00:53:27.720 --> 00:53:29.160
and now I'm going to go over

1001
00:53:29.160 --> 00:53:31.360
the danger of small thinking circles.

1002
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:33.360
You guys, you have to stay away from people

1003
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:36.160
who are dream killers because they just think too small.

1004
00:53:37.120 --> 00:53:40.520
They are the us for and no more mentality people.

1005
00:53:40.520 --> 00:53:43.000
They have made a comfort zone out of being mediocre.

1006
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.320
They have made a comfort zone out of status quo.

1007
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.960
They've made a comfort zone out of single-mindedness.

1008
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.800
They have made a comfort zone out of being a single mom.

1009
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:54.480
They have made a comfort zone out of being a single season.

1010
00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:57.720
They're the people that say,

1011
00:53:57.720 --> 00:53:59.800
oh yeah, being married would be nice.

1012
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:01.280
Mm-hmm.

1013
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.040
Oh, wouldn't that be nice?

1014
00:54:03.040 --> 00:54:04.880
Oh, I wish that would happen.

1015
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:07.880
No, friends, those are not your people.

1016
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:11.480
Also the people that say marriage

1017
00:54:11.480 --> 00:54:12.880
and wanting marriage is an idol,

1018
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:14.440
those are also not your people.

1019
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:17.000
But you know where your people are?

1020
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:17.840
Right here.

1021
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:20.680
We're not making it an idol.

1022
00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:25.080
But we are knowing that God gave it to us as a dream

1023
00:54:25.080 --> 00:54:27.440
and we're doing our part and we're letting God do his part

1024
00:54:27.440 --> 00:54:29.720
and we're coming here and we're supporting each other

1025
00:54:29.720 --> 00:54:31.320
in life, not just in singleness.

1026
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:34.000
We're supporting each other's dreams in other areas.

1027
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:36.400
We're speaking truth and wisdom over each other.

1028
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:38.000
We're praying for each other.

1029
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.840
This is a great place to be.

1030
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.440
Stay out of small thinking circles.

1031
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:46.720
Some people cannot see the life that they could have

1032
00:54:46.720 --> 00:54:48.920
beyond the life that they've settled for.

1033
00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:51.080
I'm gonna say that 15 more times.

1034
00:54:51.080 --> 00:54:54.160
They cannot see, they don't have vision

1035
00:54:54.160 --> 00:54:55.840
for the life that they could have

1036
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:58.120
beyond the life that they've settled for.

1037
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:00.320
This is what they.

1038
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.440
settled for and this is all they can see.

1039
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:04.320
And because you don't want to settle,

1040
00:55:06.240 --> 00:55:11.020
they're going to think that you're unrealistic.

1041
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.240
Now thinking this way doesn't make them evil.

1042
00:55:14.240 --> 00:55:15.780
They're not bad people. They're not evil people.

1043
00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:17.560
They might even be people that you love,

1044
00:55:17.560 --> 00:55:19.940
but it does make them unsafe for your vision.

1045
00:55:21.260 --> 00:55:23.860
People that have no vision perish.

1046
00:55:23.860 --> 00:55:26.360
And you guys, that doesn't mean that they just fall down

1047
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:27.200
and give up the ghost.

1048
00:55:27.200 --> 00:55:28.440
They don't just fall down and croak

1049
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:29.840
as my grandpa would say.

1050
00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:34.260
It just means that there's areas of their life that are dead

1051
00:55:35.560 --> 00:55:36.880
and they're not going to be resurrected

1052
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:38.680
unless they decide that they want those things

1053
00:55:38.680 --> 00:55:39.920
to be resurrected.

1054
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.200
And so that means that your dream is not safe with them.

1055
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.040
Why do you think Jesus said to his disciples,

1056
00:55:48.040 --> 00:55:49.700
let the dead bury the dead?

1057
00:55:49.700 --> 00:55:51.600
He wasn't talking about the dead.

1058
00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:54.600
It was metaphorical.

1059
00:55:55.600 --> 00:55:59.400
Metaphorical, you understand, right?

1060
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:02.480
He's like, hey, follow me.

1061
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:04.380
I'm going to go show you a different life.

1062
00:56:04.380 --> 00:56:06.360
I'm going to go show you a kingdom.

1063
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:08.580
Let the people who can't see the kingdom

1064
00:56:08.580 --> 00:56:10.980
deal with the people who can't see the kingdom.

1065
00:56:12.680 --> 00:56:13.980
Dead in their vision.

1066
00:56:17.560 --> 00:56:20.920
You guys, are you guys picking up when I'm laying down?

1067
00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:22.960
I know it's a lot for a Saturday morning.

1068
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.060
I know it's a lot.

1069
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.240
You guys, what I call the border bullies,

1070
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:32.040
the people that are going to keep you from crossing over

1071
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:33.000
into the promised land,

1072
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:35.240
they often come in the form of family, friends,

1073
00:56:35.240 --> 00:56:37.320
well-meaning other believers.

1074
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:38.920
Maybe they love Jesus,

1075
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:41.880
but they just don't have a lot of vision for dreams.

1076
00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:46.280
Okay, people can love Jesus and also not be living the life

1077
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:47.940
that Jesus died to give them.

1078
00:56:50.260 --> 00:56:51.440
They can.

1079
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.240
And no offense, but some of you are those people.

1080
00:56:53.240 --> 00:56:56.040
And I love you, but you are those people.

1081
00:56:56.040 --> 00:56:58.760
And I'm hoping to kind of wake you up a little bit

1082
00:56:58.760 --> 00:56:59.680
because we don't want to sleep.

1083
00:56:59.680 --> 00:57:01.000
What did the Proverbs say?

1084
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:05.180
Proverbs says, let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1085
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:09.740
Let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1086
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:13.600
They're not going to block you with force,

1087
00:57:13.600 --> 00:57:14.520
these people that you love.

1088
00:57:14.520 --> 00:57:15.760
They're not going to block you with force,

1089
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:18.520
but they are going to block you by sowing subtle seeds

1090
00:57:18.520 --> 00:57:21.400
of fear and doubt and discouragement.

1091
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.400
That is what's going to block you.

1092
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.440
You've got to stay away from that in 26

1093
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.960
if you want to live out and manifest some of your dreams.

1094
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:30.800
Amen.

1095
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:32.400
All right, Father God, I thank you for today.

1096
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:33.600
I thank you for this session.

1097
00:57:33.600 --> 00:57:35.640
I thank you for this truth that you've spoken over us.

1098
00:57:35.640 --> 00:57:38.040
We could go and go and go on this topic,

1099
00:57:38.040 --> 00:57:40.920
but we thank you, Lord, for what you have spoken to us.

1100
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:42.800
And through us, Lord, we pray, God,

1101
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:44.460
that we would get ahold of this

1102
00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:46.000
and that this seed that was sown today

1103
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.040
would be watered and watered frequently

1104
00:57:49.040 --> 00:57:53.400
by voices of hope and courage and vision

1105
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:55.480
so that we can go forward into everything

1106
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:57.220
that you have for us.

1107
00:57:57.220 --> 00:57:59.040
In Jesus' name, amen.

1108
00:57:59.040 --> 00:57:59.880
I love y'all.

1109
00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:01.800
I'm giving you time to get over to Wisdom Challenge.

1110
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:05.240
Go to your resource page, register, and I'll see you there.

1111
00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:06.080
See you soon.
