1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
Good morning, everybody.

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.440
Good morning, good morning, good morning or good afternoon or good evening.

3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.920
I have no idea where you guys are.

4
00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:12.320
For me, it's morning time.

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.440
It is morning time, you guys, and God has really been speaking to me over the course

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:25.080
of last night, really the last few days, but last night especially into today.

7
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:30.520
And so buckle your seatbelt because we're definitely going somewhere this morning.

8
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:33.120
And yes, I'm going to walk around my house while I talk to you because that's what I

9
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:34.120
do.

10
00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:38.760
And I asked you to have your camera on, so I'm going to have my camera on.

11
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.760
Do I want to have my camera on?

12
00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:45.520
No, I don't because it's distracting to me.

13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.500
It's a distracting situation for me, but I'm going to do it so that you can do it because

14
00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.160
I think it's important that you be seen.

15
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:55.160
I'm not doing it for me.

16
00:00:55.160 --> 00:00:58.300
I'm doing it for you because I think it's important that you be seen.

17
00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:01.940
And so go ahead and put your camera on unless you're naked.

18
00:01:01.940 --> 00:01:06.100
If you're naked, go put some clothes on and then put your camera on.

19
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:07.100
Okay?

20
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:14.260
I know that sounds funny to all you, but it's happened many, many a time, many, many a time

21
00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:20.600
that people forgot that their camera's on and their clothes aren't.

22
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:24.240
And so make sure that you do that first, but put your camera on.

23
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.440
If you're driving, you don't want your camera on, okay?

24
00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:29.520
If you're at work and you can't have your camera on, okay, everybody else's camera's

25
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:30.520
on.

26
00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:33.920
Remember, starting in April, camera's on.

27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.640
Camera's on for each and everything that we do here.

28
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.920
Do a little housekeeping here at the beginning.

29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.880
For those of you that have made it to our VIP community, also known as Phase 3, we're

30
00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:49.480
going to be doing coaching, really prep work, coaching and helping you guys to step into

31
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.640
the things that God has for you.

32
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.920
So there's going to be a lot of accountability over there.

33
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.880
There's going to be a lot of challenging happening over there.

34
00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:01.780
There's going to be a lot of clarity coming over there.

35
00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:04.840
And so we're going to be doing that.

36
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.639
We're in March momentum and we're going to continue throughout the spring.

37
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.920
I believe there's a summer of love with your name on it.

38
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.080
I don't believe that that's just with another human being.

39
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.400
I believe that that is what God has for you.

40
00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:21.320
So let's get into it.

41
00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:22.840
Father God, we're so thankful for your goodness.

42
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:28.440
We're so thankful that we can come before you and we can step into the current prophetic

43
00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:34.440
reality of heaven, what you're doing, what you're saying, what you want us to know, what's

44
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:37.840
our part to play, what's your part that you're already playing.

45
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.240
Lord, I thank you, God.

46
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.200
I thank you that you've allowed us this.

47
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:45.560
You said that you share your secrets with your friends and we are your friends.

48
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.000
And so Lord, we thank you for this time together this morning.

49
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.920
We thank you to us and through us in Jesus name.

50
00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:50.920
Amen.

51
00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:51.920
All right.

52
00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:52.920
So I want to do a little continuation.

53
00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:56.400
Well, first of all, I want to say this.

54
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.080
It doesn't feel good to be set apart.

55
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.040
I think that it's important that all of you hear that.

56
00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:10.400
There's 194 of us on this call right now.

57
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.320
I want you just to stop for a second.

58
00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:17.480
And I want you to ask yourself this question.

59
00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:23.000
Why do we all know each other?

60
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.360
And if you don't know each other, you could get to know each other better, but we do know

61
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:34.840
each other in the way that we have all been drawn to this place.

62
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.040
You guys, there's eight plus billion people in the world.

63
00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:43.820
I really need you to get ahold of this this morning.

64
00:03:43.820 --> 00:03:48.140
Why is there 194 of us on this call?

65
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:51.500
Because Jackie's charismatic?

66
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:56.620
Because somebody told you about this program and you came here because you really want

67
00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:03.260
to get married and you like my teaching, you think I'm funny, whatever?

68
00:04:03.260 --> 00:04:07.260
That's not why.

69
00:04:07.260 --> 00:04:08.260
That's not why you guys.

70
00:04:08.260 --> 00:04:15.860
I'm going to talk to you about why today on this call, because you have to start understanding

71
00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:20.660
that your life is not random.

72
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:22.460
It's not a random situation.

73
00:04:22.460 --> 00:04:26.060
And I want to let you know that there's one thing that each and every one of you have

74
00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:29.940
in common, which is why we're all here together.

75
00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:33.220
And no, it's not that you're single.

76
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:36.800
It's not that you're a Christian.

77
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.360
It is that you have been set apart.

78
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:47.240
And I'm going to say what I said at the beginning again, being set apart is not fun.

79
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.960
It's not fun.

80
00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:56.480
How many times have you heard some version of, well, God must have something better for

81
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:56.760
you?

82
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.760
Dear Lord God, help us.

83
00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:06.560
Well, God must just have something better for you.

84
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.080
Oh, I'm sorry that that didn't work out.

85
00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:10.920
What?

86
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.760
The job, the move, the relationship,

87
00:05:12.760 --> 00:05:14.920
but God must have something better for you.

88
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.360
And the thing is, is that it's not not true.

89
00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.120
I know that's a double negative, but it's not.

90
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.380
It's not not true,

91
00:05:27.380 --> 00:05:30.820
but it's still hard to hear.

92
00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:31.860
Cause it's like, well, you know,

93
00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:34.220
I'd be willing just to settle for this.

94
00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:35.420
Come on, you guys.

95
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.300
I'd be willing just to take this, God.

96
00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:40.100
I know that you want something better for me,

97
00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:42.220
but there's gotta be a point in time

98
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:44.220
where we stop waiting on the something better

99
00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:45.620
and we just take what is.

100
00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.180
I had that experience with my daughter,

101
00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:53.040
shoe shopping before like fifth grade.

102
00:05:54.020 --> 00:05:55.080
You know, you run to the mall,

103
00:05:55.080 --> 00:05:56.860
you're trying to get all the things

104
00:05:57.380 --> 00:06:00.100
and she wanted this specific pair of tennis shoes

105
00:06:00.100 --> 00:06:02.520
that I don't think existed actually.

106
00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:03.900
She had dreamed them up in her head.

107
00:06:03.900 --> 00:06:06.300
She had sworn that she had seen them somewhere.

108
00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:09.580
So being at the store with a 10 year old

109
00:06:09.580 --> 00:06:11.580
who's looking for a specific pair of shoes

110
00:06:11.580 --> 00:06:13.420
before she goes into the gauntlet

111
00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:15.380
that is pre-middle school,

112
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.500
it's a rough time.

113
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.000
And some of you have lived it.

114
00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:24.980
We searched that mall high and low,

115
00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:26.580
every store you can think of,

116
00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:28.140
and guess what?

117
00:06:28.140 --> 00:06:29.600
No, we couldn't find them.

118
00:06:32.260 --> 00:06:36.180
And then finally towards the end of our quest,

119
00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:40.260
she was like, we ended up back at the shoe store

120
00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:42.260
that we started at, finish line or something.

121
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:44.660
And she was like, mom, I'll just take these.

122
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.260
Like, I'll just, I'll take these.

123
00:06:46.260 --> 00:06:48.860
And I'm like, what do you mean you'll just take these?

124
00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:52.260
We just spent the entire day looking for these tennis shoes

125
00:06:52.260 --> 00:06:53.740
that you have to have.

126
00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:56.100
These white with the lines, with the sparkles,

127
00:06:56.460 --> 00:06:57.300
with the things.

128
00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.460
And you're gonna take these?

129
00:06:58.460 --> 00:06:59.780
No, you're gonna take these

130
00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:01.820
after we've spent the whole day looking.

131
00:07:01.820 --> 00:07:03.900
And she's like, yeah, mom, I'll just take these.

132
00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:04.820
And I said, no.

133
00:07:04.820 --> 00:07:07.260
I said, I'm pretty sure I can go online

134
00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:10.100
and find you the shoes that you're talking about.

135
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:12.620
I was like, you just can't have them today.

136
00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.100
You can't have them.

137
00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:15.840
You just can't have them today.

138
00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:20.180
And she just threw a fit, you guys.

139
00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:22.080
She threw the biggest fit.

140
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:23.940
I'm looking for my glasses as I'm talking to you.

141
00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:26.300
She threw the biggest fit in that mall.

142
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:27.540
She cried.

143
00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:30.500
She begged for those fricking shoes.

144
00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:34.820
And finally, I said, why do you want these shoes so bad?

145
00:07:34.820 --> 00:07:37.420
These are not the shoes that you wanted.

146
00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.340
And she said, because I just want something.

147
00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:45.300
I'll never forget.

148
00:07:46.140 --> 00:07:48.060
I'll never forget that she said that to me.

149
00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:49.160
And why won't I forget it?

150
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.020
Because we're all like that.

151
00:07:51.020 --> 00:07:52.500
But I just want something.

152
00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:55.820
I don't want to leave here empty-handed.

153
00:07:55.820 --> 00:07:57.380
I just want something.

154
00:07:57.380 --> 00:07:58.400
Anybody else?

155
00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:04.420
And so it really stinks if you have a higher purpose

156
00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:05.660
that you're called to,

157
00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:08.020
because you know what God's not gonna let you have?

158
00:08:08.020 --> 00:08:09.260
Just something.

159
00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:16.880
I think that we can all agree that I'm a preacher.

160
00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:18.740
Raise your hand if you think I'm a preacher.

161
00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:20.960
Raise your hand if you think that I would've done well

162
00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:22.220
on the preacher circuit,

163
00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.180
on the platforms, on the stages,

164
00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.020
with the Lisa Beavers and the Joyce Meyers of the world.

165
00:08:27.020 --> 00:08:28.860
Raise your hand if you think I could hold my own

166
00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:31.140
with all those people.

167
00:08:31.140 --> 00:08:32.980
Raise your hand if you think I have the charisma,

168
00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:34.200
if you think I have the looks,

169
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.380
if you think I have the timing,

170
00:08:36.380 --> 00:08:37.820
if you think I have the humor

171
00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:39.700
to have made it as a preacher.

172
00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:41.179
If you think I have the revelation,

173
00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:44.140
if you think I have the anointing to have been a preacher.

174
00:08:45.060 --> 00:08:46.100
Well, I just want to let you know

175
00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:48.420
that that's what I wanted to be.

176
00:08:48.420 --> 00:08:50.540
That's what I wanted to be ever since I met Jesus

177
00:08:50.540 --> 00:08:52.060
when I was 22 years old.

178
00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:53.740
I wanted to be in ministry.

179
00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:54.740
I wanted to be a minister.

180
00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:56.220
I wanted to be a preacher.

181
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:57.620
I wanted to prophesy.

182
00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:00.060
I wanted to minister to people.

183
00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:01.800
I wanted to do that.

184
00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:05.940
And you guys, I was well on my way to it.

185
00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:07.180
After I got out of the church

186
00:09:07.180 --> 00:09:09.500
that didn't believe women were allowed to speak,

187
00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:12.340
okay, that's the first obstacle that you have to overcome.

188
00:09:14.060 --> 00:09:15.580
It's when you're being discipled by people

189
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:17.100
that think women are supposed to just sit

190
00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:19.300
and look pretty or sing.

191
00:09:19.300 --> 00:09:21.140
And I'm really, you know, I'm an okay singer,

192
00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:23.380
but I was never going to make it as a singer.

193
00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:29.100
You're allowed to sing or take care of kids.

194
00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:31.060
I guess you can teach women.

195
00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:33.380
I guess you can in that denomination.

196
00:09:33.380 --> 00:09:35.140
But as soon as that pastor went to prison

197
00:09:35.140 --> 00:09:37.620
and I was able to get out of that denomination,

198
00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:40.060
I immediately became part of the denomination

199
00:09:40.060 --> 00:09:43.860
where you are allowed to preach.

200
00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:45.420
And you guys, I was just as happy

201
00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:47.380
as a bird with a French fry.

202
00:09:47.380 --> 00:09:48.980
When I tell you I was so excited,

203
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:51.260
I was finally going to get a chance to preach.

204
00:09:51.260 --> 00:09:53.580
And the people around me were like,

205
00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:56.260
wow, I was at a mega church

206
00:09:56.260 --> 00:09:59.940
because my husband that I married, he was part of that.

207
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.840
staff. He was on staff there. And people were like, Whoa,

208
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:08.600
you're an amazing preacher. Oh my God. The revelation of God,

209
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.880
the prophetic of God that's inside of you. I started,

210
00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:16.200
I started speaking at the church and y'all,

211
00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:21.520
my night of speaking got so big

212
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.480
that the pastor shut it down because he's afraid it was going to take over the

213
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.480
whole church. He was afraid that the entire church,

214
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.120
it was going to take over the whole church.

215
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:34.440
If I kept having my night of ministry that I was having at

216
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.800
one of the buildings of the church. And I know that that sounds crazy.

217
00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:39.800
You're like, why wouldn't he be happy about that? Well,

218
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.200
he wasn't for some reason,

219
00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:47.400
but I got my first conference,

220
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.760
my first huge women's conference at a mega church down in Kentucky.

221
00:10:51.760 --> 00:10:53.280
I was invited to come and speak.

222
00:10:54.280 --> 00:10:57.800
And I was the opening speaker of this conference.

223
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.840
It is my first ever conference guys. And I had arrived.

224
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:06.800
This is it. This is what I was born to do. And I was up there.

225
00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:07.960
I was ministering.

226
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.560
And then they had breakout sessions in the conference and everyone had to sign

227
00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:15.160
up for their breakout session. And you guys, there were some famous speakers,

228
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.040
some famous women preachers there. People that if I told you their names,

229
00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:23.120
you're like, yeah, I know her. I read her books. Yeah, they were there.

230
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:26.040
And I was just little old me, little nobody there.

231
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.800
But do you know that so many people signed up for my breakout session that they

232
00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:34.800
had to give me the main sanctuary at a mega church because almost the entire

233
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:38.960
conference signed up to hear me again. Why?

234
00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:41.080
Because I have it. That's why.

235
00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:46.480
And I could use it to be a preacher. Does that mean I still don't have it? No,

236
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.680
I have it, but I didn't use it to be a preacher. You know why?

237
00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:50.640
Because God said, Oh, Hey, by the way,

238
00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:52.760
after you leave this conference and you go home,

239
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.040
I don't want you to preach anymore. I don't want you to be a preacher.

240
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.640
I didn't call you to be a preacher.

241
00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:02.240
This isn't the use that I have for that gift. Yes.

242
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:06.560
You could use this gift in that way, but that's not how I want you to use it.

243
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.000
And so what happened, friends, I went into a long process.

244
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.600
And that's what today's call is about.

245
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.680
I went into a long process and process is not fun,

246
00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:19.800
but every promise comes with a process.

247
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.520
And I want to try to get it into your heart today

248
00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:29.120
that we all know each other. For one reason, we've been set apart.

249
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.600
We've been set aside and we've been consecrated.

250
00:12:33.520 --> 00:12:36.880
We've all been in a long process. That's about to come to an end.

251
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.440
We're at the end of a very long process together.

252
00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:46.240
We are kingdom people and God has

253
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.840
wooed us all,

254
00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:52.280
maybe tricked some of us into being here together.

255
00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:58.240
You guys, there's only, there's only 232 of us here.

256
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.800
There's eight plus billion people in the world. And you're like, well, Jackie,

257
00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:05.320
how can this be true? What you're saying of all of us?

258
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.560
Because there's only 232 of you. That's why.

259
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.120
Do you know how small of a number that is? You know what we would call that?

260
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.480
We would call that a remnant.

261
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.320
We would call that a very small remnant, actually.

262
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.960
You are part of a remnant and not just in your love life,

263
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.360
not just in your love life.

264
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.280
The fact that you are attracted to what is happening here.

265
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.680
Cause I don't know if you noticed this or not, but yeah,

266
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:33.520
a lot of people get married here.

267
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.560
We have an anointing to help people get married.

268
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.800
And that is definitely what God has had a sell to the

269
00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:45.080
public. Married in 12 months or less. Last year, single, come,

270
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:46.920
come get married.

271
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:51.240
But how many of you feel like it might be a little bit of a bait and switch?

272
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.440
Not on our part, on God's part. He's like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

273
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:02.160
Sell them what they want that I'm going to give them what they need is what God

274
00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:05.080
has been up to. Yeah. You get the partner.

275
00:14:05.880 --> 00:14:08.560
Actually the way that it's looking out here right now in the world,

276
00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:10.480
you get that friend for the end of the world.

277
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:16.360
You get that friend for the end of the world. But yeah, you get the partner,

278
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.760
but you get so much more, don't you?

279
00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:20.640
Because what you're doing is you're getting reminded regardless of where you've

280
00:14:20.640 --> 00:14:22.480
come from and regardless of what you know,

281
00:14:22.760 --> 00:14:26.480
you're getting reminded every week of who you are in Christ,

282
00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.320
not just to play patty cake for Jesus,

283
00:14:30.640 --> 00:14:32.720
but to actually be a change agent

284
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.200
and a kingdom person, right?

285
00:14:36.760 --> 00:14:41.480
To be a citizen of a kingdom, not just a church goer.

286
00:14:42.520 --> 00:14:43.760
Isn't that what's been happening?

287
00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:48.360
I want to talk about what we talked about last week,

288
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.840
but we're going to change the narrative a little bit

289
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:58.160
because some of us have really been wallowing around as my grandfather used to

290
00:14:58.160 --> 00:14:59.320
say, what do you want?

291
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.560
What do you want?

292
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:09.700
wallowing around for, wallowing around in the grief of God forgot me, wallowing around

293
00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:16.100
in the grief of God has passed me by.

294
00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:20.380
Everyone else got their moment, but I've been left behind.

295
00:15:20.380 --> 00:15:23.580
I want to see the hands of the people that have been wallowing around in that.

296
00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:26.380
You try not to wallow around, to be fair.

297
00:15:26.380 --> 00:15:29.840
You've tried not to, but you do.

298
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.960
You find yourself in that moment again and again and again, because it just feels like

299
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.800
my little daughter at the store.

300
00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:42.800
Why can't I just have something?

301
00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:46.480
Why can't I just have something?

302
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.440
Why does it have to be so hard?

303
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.600
It seems so easy for so many other people.

304
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.320
Why for me does it have to be so hard?

305
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.560
And I'm not just talking about your love life, I'm just talking about everything that you've

306
00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:02.320
been hoping and wishing and praying for.

307
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.320
Why does it got to be so hard?

308
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.320
Huh?

309
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:17.000
I found my glasses, all right.

310
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.480
But what if, and here's where we're going to change the narrative today, what if that

311
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.500
narrative is wrong?

312
00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:28.060
What if the story isn't that you've been forgotten?

313
00:16:28.060 --> 00:16:30.740
What if the truth is, is that you've been set apart?

314
00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:35.780
I'll let you sink in for a second.

315
00:16:35.780 --> 00:16:36.780
What if that's the truth?

316
00:16:36.780 --> 00:16:40.380
You're like, well, Jackie, that sounds really good, but I don't feel very special.

317
00:16:40.380 --> 00:16:41.620
I feel pretty ordinary.

318
00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.620
That's fine.

319
00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:45.260
I don't care about how you feel.

320
00:16:45.260 --> 00:16:48.860
Your feelings matter nothing to this conversation.

321
00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:56.780
I want you to just consider the idea that the reason why there's only 236 of us on this

322
00:16:56.780 --> 00:17:01.740
call is because there's something that we have in common and that we have all been drawn

323
00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:03.020
together for a reason.

324
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:08.300
And that reason is, is that every one of us, when we were in our mother's womb, got set

325
00:17:08.300 --> 00:17:10.980
apart.

326
00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:17.339
How would you feel about that?

327
00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:20.060
How would you feel about that if that was true?

328
00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:23.700
I know that that sounds all like, oh, I'm so special and that's so amazing.

329
00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:28.020
No, it's actually hard.

330
00:17:28.020 --> 00:17:29.020
It's actually hard.

331
00:17:29.020 --> 00:17:34.060
Let's actually just take a little quiz, shall we, to see if my hypothesis is true, to see

332
00:17:34.060 --> 00:17:39.140
if I truly am hearing from the Lord, the Bible says to test prophetic words.

333
00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:40.660
So let's test it.

334
00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.660
Everyone have your hands down.

335
00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:44.740
I want to see no little yellow hands raised because I see some right now.

336
00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.740
Get them all down.

337
00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:47.980
We're going to do a little poll.

338
00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:53.020
Put your hands down.

339
00:17:53.020 --> 00:17:54.020
I'm waiting.

340
00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:56.620
There's about six of you that have your hands up still.

341
00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:57.620
All hands down.

342
00:17:57.620 --> 00:18:04.860
Little poll before we jump into our teaching.

343
00:18:04.860 --> 00:18:08.780
How many of you, when you were growing up in school, and you guys, please don't think

344
00:18:08.780 --> 00:18:14.380
this is true of everybody because yeah, maybe one moment in their life, but how many of

345
00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:27.980
you experienced prolonged times of isolation, bullying, being left out, being picked on.

346
00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:35.740
It feels like you were singled out for whatever reason, being misunderstood even by teachers,

347
00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:37.460
even by adults.

348
00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:42.860
How many of you experienced just feeling like you didn't fit in, not feeling like you could

349
00:18:42.860 --> 00:18:48.980
find your place, like you were the odd person out or the square peg in the round hole, liking

350
00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:52.820
things that other people around you didn't like, even in your family.

351
00:18:52.820 --> 00:18:56.340
Look at all these hands.

352
00:18:56.340 --> 00:19:04.300
How many of you felt like a misfit, just felt like a misfit for whatever reason, fill in

353
00:19:04.300 --> 00:19:05.300
the blank.

354
00:19:05.300 --> 00:19:09.540
Maybe I didn't even mention it yet, but you just felt different.

355
00:19:09.540 --> 00:19:14.180
How many of you just felt different than your peers around you, than your family around

356
00:19:14.180 --> 00:19:17.100
you?

357
00:19:17.100 --> 00:19:22.500
How many of you even dealt with lots of warfare from a young age, whether it was physical,

358
00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:24.300
mental, psychological abuse.

359
00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:32.220
Maybe you had a childhood sickness or you just weren't healthy, you weren't strong.

360
00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:37.940
You just dealt with all kinds of things that were against you from a very young age it

361
00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:38.980
seemed like.

362
00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:44.820
Yeah, well, it's more than half the people on this call with their hand up and other

363
00:19:44.820 --> 00:19:47.740
people I see you waving your hand, maybe you don't know how to put your hand up.

364
00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:51.540
Okay, you guys, so what if the narrative is wrong?

365
00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:53.420
What if the story isn't that you've been forgotten?

366
00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:59.020
What if the truth is, is that you've been set apart, that you've been set apart?

367
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.480
I don't know about you, but I'm kind of a weirdo.

368
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.520
When I walk through crowds, I just look at people.

369
00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:10.300
I look at their faces, crowds of people, and it always amazes me about how many people

370
00:20:10.300 --> 00:20:12.240
there are in the world.

371
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.560
Anywhere I go, I mean, I'm just in one little city in the world, one little city, Austin,

372
00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:17.560
Texas.

373
00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:21.560
But when I walk through huge crowds of people, and there's huge crowds of people here, I

374
00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:24.120
look at people's faces and I think about their lives.

375
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:25.120
Who are you?

376
00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:26.320
Where have you come from?

377
00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:27.560
You know, what makes you tick?

378
00:20:27.560 --> 00:20:29.160
What are you even thinking about right now?

379
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.500
This is what goes through my mind.

380
00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:33.720
This is the kind of person that I am.

381
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.920
And I just realized that there's a set apartness on my life.

382
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.400
And it's not because I want to be unique.

383
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.840
It's not that I think that I'm special.

384
00:20:42.840 --> 00:20:45.280
I'm not trying to get you to think that you're special.

385
00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:50.560
I just know that the reason why the 200 and something of us that know each other on this

386
00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:57.120
call and the 1,200 of us that are in this program, that we are here not because we saw

387
00:20:57.120 --> 00:21:02.240
an ad or because a friend told us about it, we are here because we heard a call, even

388
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:08.160
if it was an unconscious call, to come together with a remnant of people because we've been

389
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.160
set apart.

390
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:13.380
Now, I can't make you believe that about yourself.

391
00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:16.160
If you want to believe that you're forgotten, that you're left out, that you're left behind,

392
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.160
I can't force you to believe what I'm saying.

393
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.600
But that is not the narrative.

394
00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:29.480
There's an extraordinarily large amount of you that are not on screen.

395
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:35.040
Why am I on screen and you're not on screen?

396
00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:38.160
I don't care if you look terrible.

397
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:40.360
I just got out of bed.

398
00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:44.520
I literally woke up like this after I put on blush.

399
00:21:44.520 --> 00:21:50.920
Get your butts on the camera.

400
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.400
Okay.

401
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:54.560
This is an important one, you guys.

402
00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:59.080
I think this is probably one of the most important Supernatural Saturdays I've done in a long

403
00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:01.240
time, even though you might think they're all good.

404
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.440
I really believe that God is trying to get us to see something and to come into agreement

405
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:10.880
with something this morning because of the time that we're in right now.

406
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.000
Because of the time that we're in right now.

407
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.240
So what if the narrative that you were forgotten is not true?

408
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:26.200
And what if the thing that you were set aside for, the specific thing, the purpose, the

409
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.320
timing of that purpose, what if it was right now?

410
00:22:30.320 --> 00:22:37.120
Remember how I told you that I had that opportunity to go to ABC at Disney in New York and I couldn't

411
00:22:37.120 --> 00:22:39.480
take it because I wasn't ready?

412
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.040
Some of you might have missed that Supernatural Saturday.

413
00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:45.720
But can I tell you guys, remember when I said on that call, I bet you it'll never happen

414
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.720
again?

415
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.720
Well, it happened again.

416
00:22:53.280 --> 00:23:01.200
I woke up one morning, it was an ordinary day, just like today, and I got a message

417
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.840
from a famous person.

418
00:23:03.840 --> 00:23:09.160
And that person said, Hey, I have a new talk show and I want you to be a guest, but you

419
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:13.280
have to come to Nashville tomorrow to film.

420
00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:18.240
And you guys, I got the email from the producers and the showrunners, same people who did Steve

421
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.200
Harvey's show, same people that did The Bachelor, all the things.

422
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:30.000
And I got the email, it was a legitimate thing, it wasn't spam, it was really happening.

423
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.440
I bought my plane ticket, then the producers called me later on that night and said, Oh,

424
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:40.000
by the way, it's not two days from now, it's tomorrow because we just changed the casting

425
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.640
call and so you got to come tomorrow.

426
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.760
And you guys, I got all the way to the airport and I realized I couldn't go.

427
00:23:48.760 --> 00:23:52.800
I had my ticket, the flight was delayed because there was some bad weather, and I realized

428
00:23:52.800 --> 00:23:53.800
I couldn't go.

429
00:23:53.800 --> 00:24:01.640
I had to cancel my ticket and go home because once again, my time of visitation keeps showing

430
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.240
up and I'm actually not ready.

431
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.240
Do you know how frustrating that is?

432
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.960
So let me ask you that question again.

433
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.320
What if the truth is that you've been set apart and what if the thing that you've been

434
00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:18.400
set apart for, the time is now?

435
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:20.880
Can you step into that?

436
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:22.800
Because I thought I could.

437
00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:25.320
And here's the good news, you guys, this is not a sad tale.

438
00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:29.480
I believe that this stuff is going to keep happening to me because the time is now.

439
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:35.160
And so between each of these failures to be able to launch, I have an opportunity to get

440
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.160
my ducks in a row.

441
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:39.100
Last night, Holy Spirit led me to a journal.

442
00:24:39.100 --> 00:24:42.240
He told me exactly what it looked like because I'm a journaler and I have lots and lots and

443
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.200
lots of old journals.

444
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:47.360
And Holy Spirit said, oh, hey, go find this journal.

445
00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:53.200
And so I went back in our bookshelves and back in the closet full of boxes, full of

446
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.880
books and journals and notes and notebooks and all kinds of things.

447
00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:58.960
I'm a writer, friends, ever since I was a child.

448
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.080
And I write, write, write, write, write.

449
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.600
But guess what, this specific journal, even though it's really old, it was just laying

450
00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:08.600
in plain sight.

451
00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:11.960
Don't you love it when that happens?

452
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.080
It was just laying in plain sight.

453
00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:18.480
And I grabbed it and Holy Spirit's like, I want you to read what you wrote in this journal.

454
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.680
And I didn't write a whole heck of a lot, but the very last entry of the journal, the

455
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:29.280
last entry of the journal was a list of things that God was putting on my heart to do to

456
00:25:29.280 --> 00:25:36.440
get ready for my time of visitation, a list of things that I needed to get done in order

457
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:42.640
to be able to step into that season with confidence and with clarity.

458
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:45.560
And I looked at the list and I had not done even one of them.

459
00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:53.600
And guess when that journal entry was put in that journal, 2022.

460
00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:58.080
You guys, this is not to condemn you or to beat you up, but it's for you to get really,

461
00:25:58.080 --> 00:26:03.840
really alert and awake, understanding that what if the thing that you've been set aside

462
00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:08.320
for, the thing that has caused you to feel like you're on the sidelines of life for so

463
00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:14.520
long watching everyone else play in the game, but it's just not your time to get on the

464
00:26:14.520 --> 00:26:18.480
field yet necessarily, because you're part of a special team.

465
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:20.800
You know, I like sports.

466
00:26:20.800 --> 00:26:24.400
And for those of you that don't understand sports analogies, there are teams that only

467
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.680
come out to play on the field during very specific things.

468
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.800
The kicking team only comes out when there's a field goal or, you know, when there's an

469
00:26:35.800 --> 00:26:39.080
offside kick that's necessary to get a two-point conversion.

470
00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:43.920
I'm talking football, of course, now there's all different special teams probably for other

471
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.800
sports, but I'll talk about what I know.

472
00:26:46.800 --> 00:26:52.000
There's special plays that get called, that special players get involved in those plays

473
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.760
because you just happen to be really good at that very special thing.

474
00:26:55.760 --> 00:27:02.440
So what if it's to the point in the timeline of culture and the earth where the special

475
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.920
teams, the Mavericks, the Misfits, the people that have felt like they really weren't that

476
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:10.440
important get to be the MVPs of the game?

477
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.640
What if that's true?

478
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.440
You don't have any proof that it's not, and I have proof that it is.

479
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.240
All right, so I believe, this is what God spoke to me last night, I'm going to release

480
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:20.240
it over you guys.

481
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:24.400
I believe that we are finally at the season of time that I'm going to call the rise of

482
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.200
the Misfits and Mavericks.

483
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:32.880
I already told you the siege was over.

484
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:38.920
I already told you that so many things that I have specifically been praying for, for

485
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:43.560
over 20, almost 30 years, finally started happening and coming to pass.

486
00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:48.760
And you guys, when you pray for something for so long like that, it's almost shocking

487
00:27:48.760 --> 00:27:51.000
when it comes to pass.

488
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:55.000
It's shocking because I don't know if somewhere along the line of praying for something for

489
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.400
20 plus years, you just kind of stopped believing it was really going to happen.

490
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:02.360
I'm just going to be honest.

491
00:28:02.360 --> 00:28:07.120
And then when you wake up one day and it actually happens, you're like, wait, what?

492
00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:09.040
What just happened?

493
00:28:09.040 --> 00:28:11.160
What just happened?

494
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.320
What just happened?

495
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:18.760
You know how you get to see what I do when the camera's off?

496
00:28:18.760 --> 00:28:20.440
What just happened?

497
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:23.000
I propose this to you, friends.

498
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:28.360
Every disaster that this world has ever seen, whether it was the floods in Texas two years

499
00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:32.840
ago, whether it was the pandemic that we all lived through, guess what they all have in

500
00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:36.200
common?

501
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.540
There was no sign of them.

502
00:28:37.540 --> 00:28:41.680
You just woke up the next day and here they were.

503
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:43.880
One day you're just fat, dumb, and happy living your life.

504
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:48.360
There's plenty of toilet paper on the shelves.

505
00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:52.240
And then the next day you wake up and we're all locked down in our houses and there's

506
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:53.440
no toilet paper.

507
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.440
Come on.

508
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:55.440
What the heck?

509
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.440
How?

510
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:57.440
How?

511
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:06.160
And I propose to you that if calamities can happen suddenly, so can breakthrough.

512
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:11.440
Why can't good things happen with no notice?

513
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.960
Because some of you are already fighting in your human intellect.

514
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.040
By the way, the Bible says the human intellect is the enemy of the supernatural, the enemy.

515
00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:21.080
So you got to guard that gate.

516
00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:22.960
Remember last week we talked about guarding the gates.

517
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.480
I'm going to get back to that in just a second because this is really important because some

518
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:31.840
of you are going to bypass this message because you believe that if there truly was change

519
00:29:31.840 --> 00:29:38.960
on the horizon that you would have been seeing it coming for a long time and you can intellectually

520
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.960
agree with it.

521
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.960
Like, okay.

522
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.960
Yeah, I can see.

523
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:42.960
Yeah, I see.

524
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.960
No, friends.

525
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.960
That's not the way it happens.

526
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:50.400
If storms can roll in overnight, one day it's 75 degrees and you're living the life of Riley

527
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:58.520
and the next day you got your big coat out because overnight something happened that's

528
00:29:58.520 --> 00:30:00.200
mysterious to you because

529
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.600
You're not a weather man, but all of a sudden, there's a cold front.

530
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:09.440
It wasn't here yesterday, but it's here today.

531
00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:10.920
And now I got my big coat on.

532
00:30:11.840 --> 00:30:14.840
Only us Northerners know what a big coat is.

533
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.160
Okay.

534
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.400
I live in Austin where no one wears coats at all.

535
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.520
But when I lived in Ohio, you got a big coat.

536
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:23.560
You're going to need your big coat.

537
00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:26.840
But wait, it was super warm yesterday.

538
00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:32.800
Friends, there doesn't need to be any signs.

539
00:30:33.800 --> 00:30:35.520
There doesn't need to be any signs.

540
00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:37.640
The only sign that you need is the sign of a prophet.

541
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.040
And I'm telling you, this is what God is saying.

542
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:42.640
This is what God is saying.

543
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:47.120
So what are the people that never quite fit the mold, which is all of us.

544
00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:51.160
The free thinkers, you guys, I've been a disruptor since I was a child.

545
00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:56.200
In second grade, my little hand went up all the time to question authority, to

546
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.520
question the practices, to question the way that we were doing things.

547
00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:03.880
All the time, my hand went up, up, up, up, up.

548
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:05.840
I was in trouble so often.

549
00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:07.040
I was writing tasks.

550
00:31:07.040 --> 00:31:08.560
You guys remember writing tasks?

551
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:11.560
I will not question the teacher.

552
00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:18.680
Guys, it wasn't just because I didn't like authority or that I was rebellious.

553
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:20.680
In fact, a lot of us were called rebellious.

554
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.800
I should take a poll and say, how many of you don't fit in the church?

555
00:31:24.800 --> 00:31:27.080
How many of you think differently than the church?

556
00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:31.160
You have an issue with what's going on in the church, Inc, Church Incorporated.

557
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:34.680
In fact, you have a hard time finding a church where you fit into.

558
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:36.920
I can ask that question as well.

559
00:31:37.080 --> 00:31:38.480
And that all proves my point.

560
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:45.040
The misfits, the mavericks, the ones that don't belong to the usual systems are rising.

561
00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:48.800
We are the people that God has been preparing.

562
00:31:49.800 --> 00:31:54.560
And I know that the systems want to call us rebellious, but we're not rebellious.

563
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.240
We are rebellious, but it's not a bad thing.

564
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.200
We just know that there has to be a better way.

565
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:04.840
We know that there has to be a better way.

566
00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:06.560
Okay.

567
00:32:07.040 --> 00:32:08.160
So let me ask you this question.

568
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:12.520
What if suddenly all of us begin stepping into the divine opportunities

569
00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:15.000
that start coming out of nowhere?

570
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:22.600
I just wanted to let you guys know that the right response to what I'm telling you today

571
00:32:22.840 --> 00:32:27.640
would be to get off this call and really take an inventory of your gates and make sure you're prepared.

572
00:32:27.840 --> 00:32:33.640
Because your leader, Jackie, just told you that she missed two amazing opportunities because

573
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:39.560
just like the miracle of my brother getting a house, I just didn't expect it to happen today.

574
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.280
I've been praying for 30 years and I didn't expect it to happen today.

575
00:32:45.560 --> 00:32:50.840
When God told me not to be a preacher, He told me He was going to use my gifts in a different way.

576
00:32:51.080 --> 00:32:51.760
And guess what?

577
00:32:51.800 --> 00:32:56.120
I've been sitting kind of on the sidelines before, you know, I mean, I've been trying.

578
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.120
I've been trying.

579
00:32:57.560 --> 00:33:00.120
I did a, I did a conference call.

580
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:03.200
I did a, I did a real life unplugged blog.

581
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.440
I did a, um, what else have I done?

582
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:07.440
All kinds of crazy things.

583
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.320
I did a wake up call with Jackie's show on Periscope.

584
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.720
I did Married in 12 Months where yes, I did last year's single.

585
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.800
But God's given me some very specific words about what it looks like to use my gifts.

586
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.720
And guess what?

587
00:33:20.760 --> 00:33:21.720
I pray into that.

588
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.840
I do what I can.

589
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:25.840
And then I just leave it there.

590
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:32.520
Like so many of you in all the areas, not just your love life, but definitely your love life.

591
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:42.760
But I'm sad to say that a lot of times when something doesn't happen right away, what we think is a timely

592
00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:46.640
in a timely manner, we actually become unprepared.

593
00:33:47.560 --> 00:33:48.880
We become unprepared for it.

594
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:49.600
Okay.

595
00:33:49.800 --> 00:33:56.480
So what if suddenly we begin stepping into opportunities that seemingly come out of nowhere?

596
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:04.280
I've had two, I've had two in the last month that have come out of nowhere, out of nowhere, big opportunities, you guys.

597
00:34:05.080 --> 00:34:12.560
And, you know, I could beat myself up and I could feel really sad about it, but I'm not, you know, I don't feel sad about it because I know that it's not just a

598
00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:13.080
one and done.

599
00:34:13.080 --> 00:34:14.199
It's a season.

600
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:18.199
It's a season and I can be ready to step into the next one.

601
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:22.800
And I told you last time that I would be and I, and I wasn't, but I'm going to be this time.

602
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:25.280
I'm going to keep telling you that until it's true.

603
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:29.159
And you can hold me accountable to that because here's what I believe.

604
00:34:29.600 --> 00:34:31.000
God has never been absent.

605
00:34:31.560 --> 00:34:33.080
He's been preparing us.

606
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:35.600
He's been preparing us the whole time.

607
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:48.120
Quietly, deeply, thoroughly over time, preparing us all the things you guys that almost happened, but didn't quite happen.

608
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:50.520
Preparation.

609
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.040
Okay.

610
00:34:52.040 --> 00:34:53.800
And yes, the process has been long.

611
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:54.840
I do agree with that.

612
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.360
The process has been long, but you know what?

613
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.600
The process kind of has to be long.

614
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.820
the promise is big, doesn't it?

615
00:35:04.520 --> 00:35:09.160
If the promise is big, the process has to be long.

616
00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:13.060
The process can be short

617
00:35:13.060 --> 00:35:14.960
if it's a one and done kind of thing,

618
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:16.520
but if it's something that you're required

619
00:35:16.520 --> 00:35:18.100
to sustain over time,

620
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.680
and there's something that's been happening to me

621
00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:24.140
probably in the last 10 years,

622
00:35:24.140 --> 00:35:25.880
and if it hasn't started happening to you,

623
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.640
it's gonna start happening to you,

624
00:35:27.640 --> 00:35:29.080
where I look back on my life

625
00:35:29.120 --> 00:35:31.080
and I look at all the things that I tried to do

626
00:35:31.080 --> 00:35:33.680
and I look at all the things that I went

627
00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:36.440
and I thought, hey, this is the magic bullet of happiness.

628
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:37.360
This is the thing.

629
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.720
This is what God's calling me to do.

630
00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:40.920
The trips I went on, the seminars I went to,

631
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.240
the books I read, the classes I took,

632
00:35:43.240 --> 00:35:46.120
the courses I took, the certifications I got,

633
00:35:46.120 --> 00:35:47.160
whatever those things were,

634
00:35:47.160 --> 00:35:50.120
the jobs that I took that I thought were gonna lead

635
00:35:50.120 --> 00:35:53.400
to the thing that God was showing me and planning for me,

636
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:54.540
but then they didn't,

637
00:35:54.540 --> 00:35:57.680
all of those things are part of this process,

638
00:35:57.720 --> 00:36:00.800
and none of them are wasted.

639
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.080
I need you to hear that.

640
00:36:03.080 --> 00:36:06.400
All the relationships, all the people you helped,

641
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:09.960
all the revelation you got, all the things you did,

642
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.200
all of it, you will be able to look back and say,

643
00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:15.800
oh, yeah, that makes sense now.

644
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:17.260
That makes total sense.

645
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:20.880
I know it doesn't make sense now, but it will.

646
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:23.120
It will make sense.

647
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:25.280
Do you hear me?

648
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:27.240
It will.

649
00:36:28.680 --> 00:36:33.440
All right, it will, it will, it will.

650
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:35.680
So the process has been long,

651
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:38.280
but it's the promise that matters, not the process.

652
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.080
So I want you to think about the generation

653
00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:42.900
that we're living in.

654
00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:44.960
I know that you would love to just be selfish

655
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.620
and be all about yourself and be all about your love story

656
00:36:47.620 --> 00:36:49.960
and be all about whatever it is that you need,

657
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.520
but that is not why God created you.

658
00:36:52.520 --> 00:36:54.040
You live in a generation,

659
00:36:54.040 --> 00:36:56.560
and your main purpose in this world is to show it

660
00:36:56.560 --> 00:36:59.100
what a child of God looks like.

661
00:37:00.200 --> 00:37:02.600
You guys, I'm working with a developer right now.

662
00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:06.240
I'm working with a coder over in Thailand.

663
00:37:06.240 --> 00:37:07.420
It's actually someone I know.

664
00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:08.260
They're American.

665
00:37:08.260 --> 00:37:10.120
They used to live here, and they moved there.

666
00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:11.740
And when I tell you that they're brilliant,

667
00:37:11.740 --> 00:37:12.580
they're brilliant.

668
00:37:12.580 --> 00:37:15.720
When I tell you that they're a genius, they're a genius.

669
00:37:15.720 --> 00:37:17.440
And when I tell you in just a few days,

670
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.440
they've been able to prototype a matchmaking app for me.

671
00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:25.900
It's not an app per se, like the last year single app.

672
00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:28.820
It's more of just a matchmaker,

673
00:37:28.820 --> 00:37:31.640
a matchmaker that digs into the database for you

674
00:37:31.640 --> 00:37:32.900
and acts like a matchmaker,

675
00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:37.300
like an AI version of me matchmaking you, okay?

676
00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:39.500
They deliver that prototype to me, but you know what?

677
00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:41.420
I wanted to add a few things

678
00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:46.220
to this process of matchmaking people.

679
00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:47.580
And you know what they told me?

680
00:37:47.580 --> 00:37:50.540
They said, ah, Jackie, that sounds great,

681
00:37:50.540 --> 00:37:53.420
but I don't really think you should do that

682
00:37:53.420 --> 00:37:55.780
because I think people are inherently selfish,

683
00:37:55.780 --> 00:37:57.380
and I don't think people really care

684
00:37:57.380 --> 00:37:58.820
about each other's love stories.

685
00:37:58.820 --> 00:38:00.780
I think they only care about their own.

686
00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:06.540
You guys, the whole point of what I'm doing here

687
00:38:06.540 --> 00:38:11.140
is trying to bring back community, spiritual community,

688
00:38:11.140 --> 00:38:15.160
world-changing community, community-based matchmaking.

689
00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:19.340
That's what I've spent the last five years of my life

690
00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:23.420
trying to see, trying to help people see,

691
00:38:23.420 --> 00:38:28.300
is that somebody knows your spouse.

692
00:38:28.300 --> 00:38:31.300
In fact, they're having coffee with them right now.

693
00:38:34.180 --> 00:38:35.520
They're not a stranger.

694
00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:40.620
They're known to someone.

695
00:38:40.620 --> 00:38:42.860
And according to science,

696
00:38:42.860 --> 00:38:46.000
you are only six degrees of separation from that someone.

697
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:50.080
Maybe four, maybe three, maybe two, maybe one.

698
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.840
And that's what I wanted my algorithm,

699
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.540
my little Jackie AI matchmaker,

700
00:38:56.540 --> 00:38:58.640
that's what I wanted her to be able to do.

701
00:38:59.520 --> 00:39:02.240
And that's what I wanted other people that use her

702
00:39:02.240 --> 00:39:04.640
to be able to help do for other people.

703
00:39:04.640 --> 00:39:06.120
And he said it won't work.

704
00:39:06.120 --> 00:39:08.960
And he showed me all kinds of examples

705
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:10.080
of why it wouldn't work.

706
00:39:10.080 --> 00:39:11.620
Other people and their apps

707
00:39:11.620 --> 00:39:12.920
and what they've been trying to do,

708
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:15.440
or other people in their whatever.

709
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:16.280
And you know what?

710
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:17.100
He's not wrong.

711
00:39:17.100 --> 00:39:19.480
The evidence does say that people don't care

712
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:21.480
about other people's breakthrough.

713
00:39:25.600 --> 00:39:29.260
But this is a group of mavericks and misfits,

714
00:39:29.260 --> 00:39:31.020
which means we're not like other people.

715
00:39:31.020 --> 00:39:32.500
And I wanna ask you the question,

716
00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:35.220
do you care about other people's breakthrough?

717
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.480
Do you care?

718
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.080
And I don't just mean them getting a spouse.

719
00:39:40.080 --> 00:39:42.240
I mean their breakthrough just period.

720
00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:44.500
Do you believe that what you make happen for others,

721
00:39:44.540 --> 00:39:46.020
which is what I always say,

722
00:39:46.020 --> 00:39:48.500
what you make happen for others, God makes happen for you.

723
00:39:48.500 --> 00:39:50.180
Do you believe that?

724
00:39:50.180 --> 00:39:52.820
Are you willing to get out

725
00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:59.500
of your own little doldrums

726
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.880
And focus on someone else's breakthrough instead of your own.

727
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.960
Are you willing to do that?

728
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:05.960
Are you willing to do that?

729
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.600
I mean, you might say it right now in the moment, but you need to really ask yourself,

730
00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:11.160
do I really care?

731
00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:16.920
Or have I just become so scarcity-minded because I've been waiting so long for breakthrough

732
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:21.280
in my life in different areas that I really just don't care if anyone else gets theirs

733
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:22.280
or not?

734
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.240
That's something you might really need to ask yourself.

735
00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:30.440
I think we should all ask ourselves that.

736
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.240
I know that the process has been long, you guys.

737
00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:33.520
I've been in it right with you.

738
00:40:33.520 --> 00:40:36.300
You might think I'm not in it just because I'm married.

739
00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:46.040
There's a lot of other things that people want besides just being married, you know?

740
00:40:46.040 --> 00:40:48.760
You know?

741
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:53.560
There's a lot of other things that people pray for and contend for and believe God for

742
00:40:54.040 --> 00:41:00.160
besides just a spouse.

743
00:41:00.160 --> 00:41:05.200
So yes, I know that the process has been long, but it's the promise that matters.

744
00:41:05.200 --> 00:41:07.760
And I want you to think really quick about the generation that we're living in.

745
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.800
God put this on my heart this morning.

746
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:11.080
I want you to think about it.

747
00:41:11.080 --> 00:41:15.040
The generation that you've been matched with, even if you got 100 years here, even if you

748
00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:20.320
got 110 years here, my mother-in-law says we all get 120 years.

749
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:21.800
Okay, maybe.

750
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:27.800
I don't want to look like the Crypt Keeper, though.

751
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:29.680
I don't want to just exist, okay?

752
00:41:29.680 --> 00:41:32.960
I'm fine to go to heaven when I can't put my boots on anymore.

753
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.960
I'm good.

754
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:34.960
I'm good.

755
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:45.720
But even if you did live to be 120 years, I want you to think about the world, the culture,

756
00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:50.900
the generation that you live in, that you've been matched with.

757
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:55.420
You guys, we're living in chaotic times, and I know you're like, well, yeah, there's that

758
00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:59.900
thing with Iran happening, and there's this thing over here, and blah, blah, blah.

759
00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:03.100
No, I'm not talking about that.

760
00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:14.940
You guys, in just the last 100 years, 104 years, we've had two world wars, friends.

761
00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:18.220
I know it's easy to forget about that because that was your great-grandparents and your

762
00:42:18.220 --> 00:42:22.260
grandparents' generation.

763
00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:24.820
You guys, it's right here.

764
00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:30.340
Less than 100 years ago, two world wars, or just a little over 100 years ago.

765
00:42:30.340 --> 00:42:34.700
In that same 100-year period, remember, if you lived to be 100 years old, so in the same

766
00:42:34.700 --> 00:42:44.100
period of a lifetime of yours, the Great Depression, massive economic upheaval.

767
00:42:44.100 --> 00:42:45.620
All of that happened.

768
00:42:45.620 --> 00:42:48.540
The stock market crashed in the 80s.

769
00:42:48.540 --> 00:42:53.900
My stepdad lost everything he had in that stock market crash, everything, and he was

770
00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:56.200
a wealthy man.

771
00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:58.300
That happened.

772
00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:01.620
This is why your grandparents hid money in their mattresses, because they had all lived

773
00:43:01.620 --> 00:43:05.500
through these crazy things, right?

774
00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:09.140
This is why they wrapped money in tinfoil and put it in the freezer like leftovers and

775
00:43:09.140 --> 00:43:11.820
let it look like frozen goods.

776
00:43:11.820 --> 00:43:15.700
Anyone else know anyone who wrapped money in tinfoil and put it in the freezer?

777
00:43:15.700 --> 00:43:16.700
Yeah.

778
00:43:16.700 --> 00:43:17.700
Exactly.

779
00:43:17.700 --> 00:43:20.620
Because they've lived through the Great Depression and the collapse.

780
00:43:20.620 --> 00:43:21.620
Why, you guys?

781
00:43:21.620 --> 00:43:22.860
This is the generation that we were matched with.

782
00:43:22.860 --> 00:43:25.980
This is the generation that is alive on the earth.

783
00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:28.380
In our lifetime, we've experienced so many things.

784
00:43:28.380 --> 00:43:33.900
Some of you were alive during things that happened.

785
00:43:33.900 --> 00:43:37.620
I'm not going to say that you guys, well, some of you were alive, definitely alive in

786
00:43:37.620 --> 00:43:39.860
Vietnam for sure.

787
00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:46.460
I mean, I think that I was just born like two years after it ended, but you were alive

788
00:43:46.460 --> 00:43:47.460
during those things.

789
00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:49.700
You were alive during presidential assassinations.

790
00:43:49.700 --> 00:43:55.380
You were alive during all kinds, civil rights movements and upheaval and all kinds of things,

791
00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:56.380
just here in America.

792
00:43:56.380 --> 00:43:59.220
I'm not even talking about the stuff that happened in other countries.

793
00:43:59.220 --> 00:44:00.420
We all lived through 9-11.

794
00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:05.460
We all lived through a global pandemic where the entire world shut down.

795
00:44:06.460 --> 00:44:10.100
You guys, this isn't about tragedies, but I want you to let you know that we've lived

796
00:44:10.100 --> 00:44:12.060
during a time of shaking.

797
00:44:12.060 --> 00:44:20.180
It's important for us to see that because shaking reveals what's not stable, but it

798
00:44:20.180 --> 00:44:21.260
also does something else.

799
00:44:21.260 --> 00:44:23.060
It prepares people.

800
00:44:23.060 --> 00:44:24.060
It does.

801
00:44:24.060 --> 00:44:27.060
So let me talk a little bit about this remnant that I believe you're part of.

802
00:44:27.060 --> 00:44:30.220
I believe something has been happening below the surface.

803
00:44:30.220 --> 00:44:31.460
There's been a rumbling.

804
00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:32.460
There's been a preparation.

805
00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:36.220
And yes, I know it's been hard and I know it's not been fun, but I believe that there's

806
00:44:36.220 --> 00:44:40.340
a group of people, and obviously it's much bigger than just us.

807
00:44:40.340 --> 00:44:44.420
And maybe after today, you'll start meeting more of this remnant.

808
00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:47.620
And you'll be able to tell who they are because there'll be people who don't like the status

809
00:44:47.620 --> 00:44:48.620
quo.

810
00:44:48.620 --> 00:44:52.940
There'll be people who don't just believe everything that they're told, people that

811
00:44:52.940 --> 00:44:59.660
have been deemed as rebellious, people that do not want to go along with the system.

812
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:08.520
Okay, whether that's church system or world system, that people that want to see healing

813
00:45:08.520 --> 00:45:13.880
and hope in the world for people, people that are tired of seeing people oppressed, people

814
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:19.400
that feel deeply about the things that are happening that are hurting others, those are

815
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:22.600
the people that you'll be looking for.

816
00:45:22.600 --> 00:45:24.040
And I believe that you are those people.

817
00:45:24.040 --> 00:45:27.480
You're not church people, you're kingdom people, and you're people who understand that your

818
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:31.020
lives are about assignment.

819
00:45:31.020 --> 00:45:32.020
You have an assignment.

820
00:45:32.020 --> 00:45:36.480
All right, so I want to go through this really quickly, and in order to do it, I just want

821
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:41.840
to kind of want to plug in here for a second, because we only have a few minutes left, and

822
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.280
I want to make sure that I hit all of it.

823
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:50.240
All right, I want you to picture this.

824
00:45:50.240 --> 00:45:54.320
I want you to picture cicadas, yes, those locusts, those grasshopper bugs that we all

825
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.200
get annoyed by because they're super loud.

826
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.840
I want you to picture them because God gave me a word about them that I think is coming

827
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:00.840
true.

828
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:05.640
I listened to a word last night, and the word that I listened to last night talked about

829
00:46:05.640 --> 00:46:10.720
how there's a group arising that has been underground.

830
00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:14.880
And God told me that when his kingdom people, when his remnant people, when his mavericks

831
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.040
arise, they are going to be like the cicadas.

832
00:46:18.040 --> 00:46:19.560
And cicadas spend years underground.

833
00:46:19.560 --> 00:46:21.400
If you didn't know that, now you know it.

834
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:22.400
What are they doing?

835
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:23.400
They're quietly multiplying.

836
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:24.400
They're quietly growing.

837
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.480
They're hidden, but they're not.

838
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.600
They're amassing an army.

839
00:46:29.600 --> 00:46:33.520
Because the longer that they're underground, and there's six-year cicada, and there's seven-year,

840
00:46:33.520 --> 00:46:37.920
and there's eight-year, and ten-year, and twelve-year, there's 27-year cicada, meaning

841
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.200
that they stay underground for 27 years before they finally come out.

842
00:46:42.200 --> 00:46:45.680
Because what's happening underneath there is that they're amassing an army.

843
00:46:45.680 --> 00:46:50.240
They're multiplying until there's enough of them to overcome something called predator

844
00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:51.240
saturation.

845
00:46:51.240 --> 00:46:53.720
This is what scientists call this.

846
00:46:53.720 --> 00:46:58.120
This means that when they emerge, they emerge all at once, and they emerge in such massive

847
00:46:58.120 --> 00:47:05.840
numbers that the predators can't stop them, because there's just too many of them.

848
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:11.320
And suddenly, these hidden ones become impossible to ignore, right?

849
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:15.880
I know, because I sit on my back porch, and I try to make videos back during the wake-up

850
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.520
call with Jackie days, and they'd be so loud, and I'd be like, what the heck?

851
00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:22.160
I thought these things only came out every seven years.

852
00:47:22.160 --> 00:47:26.280
And that's when I began to study them, because the Holy Spirit led me to, because He said,

853
00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:29.080
this is what kingdom people are going to be like.

854
00:47:29.080 --> 00:47:32.680
He's like, they have been being developed in the hidden places.

855
00:47:32.680 --> 00:47:36.440
He said, they're all over the world, and I've been developing them.

856
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:37.440
I have been teaching them.

857
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:38.640
I've been training them.

858
00:47:38.640 --> 00:47:40.720
Yeah, they've gone through a lot of disappointment.

859
00:47:40.720 --> 00:47:44.880
They've gone through a lot of times where they felt forgotten, like the china in your

860
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:46.660
grandma's china cabinet.

861
00:47:46.660 --> 00:47:49.520
It only comes out a couple times a year, right?

862
00:47:49.520 --> 00:47:51.400
Because it's special.

863
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.040
He said, these are special vessels.

864
00:47:53.040 --> 00:47:54.040
They're not everyday.

865
00:47:54.040 --> 00:47:56.240
They're not common vessels.

866
00:47:56.240 --> 00:48:01.320
They're carrying things that are important to what I'm doing at the end of the age.

867
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.280
So I believe that that's what's happening right now, friends.

868
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:07.120
I believe that we are people who have been hidden, but we've also been being prepared,

869
00:48:07.120 --> 00:48:08.680
shaped by God.

870
00:48:08.680 --> 00:48:10.800
And now we're starting to find each other.

871
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:15.080
You found some of your people through this, through last year's single.

872
00:48:15.080 --> 00:48:17.680
And this is how you're going to find your spouse, too, just so you know, because you're

873
00:48:17.680 --> 00:48:21.840
not going to be one of these people and not marry one of these people.

874
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:26.480
You have to be married to one of these people, too, because these are kingdom alliances.

875
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:28.480
They're not marriages.

876
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:29.480
They're kingdom alliances.

877
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.440
So you're going to find them in business groups.

878
00:48:32.440 --> 00:48:34.720
You're going to find them in communities like this.

879
00:48:34.720 --> 00:48:36.320
You're going to find them in conversations.

880
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:40.800
You're just going to be somewhere, you start having conversations with strangers.

881
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.880
And then suddenly you're going to see that you have so much in common with them.

882
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:47.360
You're going to feel aligned with them because there's something bigger going on.

883
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:50.160
Have you ever had that experience?

884
00:48:50.160 --> 00:48:54.120
You just meet people and you feel like, oh my gosh, we've been in the same places doing

885
00:48:54.120 --> 00:48:55.120
the same things.

886
00:48:55.120 --> 00:48:56.120
We're so aligned.

887
00:48:56.120 --> 00:48:58.720
You've experienced so many of the same things that I've experienced.

888
00:48:58.720 --> 00:49:00.720
Guys pay attention to that.

889
00:49:00.720 --> 00:49:05.600
That's an alignment that's bigger than just you making a new friend.

890
00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:09.320
There's purpose being awakened.

891
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:12.880
And your marriage, let me talk about your marriages for a second.

892
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:17.400
Your marriages are part of this assignment.

893
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:19.840
It's not about romance, you guys.

894
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:23.760
And I know some of you are like, oh no, I want it to be about romance.

895
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.880
It's not not about romance, but it's not about romance.

896
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:27.880
It's an alliance.

897
00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:28.880
It's a kingdom partnership.

898
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:33.760
It doesn't mean there won't be any romance, but it does mean that God is bringing two

899
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:39.880
people together on earth to create something that outlasts you both.

900
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:41.760
Okay.

901
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:45.280
I joked about it earlier, but if you want to say a friend for the end of the world,

902
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:46.880
then go ahead.

903
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:49.280
But in reality, you guys, it's something far deeper.

904
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.160
It's two people saying we are going to come together with God and build something that

905
00:49:54.160 --> 00:49:58.800
changes the world, changes our lineage, changes legacy.

906
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:00.080
I don't know how long.

907
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.000
this whole world thing is going to last for but I can tell you that I really do believe

908
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:10.720
that we are one of the end of the age generations. I don't know how many will come after us but I do

909
00:50:10.720 --> 00:50:15.760
know that what we do right now really matters. We are at a tipping point. I do believe that we are

910
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:21.520
at a tipping point. It's easy to get comfortable you guys in these seasons where you feel like you

911
00:50:21.520 --> 00:50:25.840
have all the time in the world because you're on the sidelines anyway. You know God's benched you

912
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.760
for some reason and you just get comfortable sitting on that bench. You get comfortable

913
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:34.960
in this hidden season but I don't want you to do that. I want you to wake up

914
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.360
because you are not here at this meeting this morning by accident. You guys we are here on

915
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:46.800
assignment. God wants us to be reminded. One thing I definitely know that happens

916
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:52.800
is that God has for whatever reason allowed me to be in a leadership position in the way that

917
00:50:52.800 --> 00:51:00.720
when something happens to me it's it's about to like happen a lot and so I'm telling you I'm

918
00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:05.200
getting these opportunities that I'm not prepared for and I know that they're going to keep coming

919
00:51:05.200 --> 00:51:10.560
so I'm scrambling around trying to get prepared when all the way back to 2022 God warned me

920
00:51:10.560 --> 00:51:17.440
and told me to get ready. All the back to all the way back to 2020 you guys four years ago

921
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:23.520
God warned me to get ready and I'm like oh darn it but you know what I am getting ready. I'm

922
00:51:23.520 --> 00:51:27.040
getting ready. I've already missed two of them. I hope not to miss any more of them but you know

923
00:51:27.040 --> 00:51:38.640
what if it's happening to me it's going to start happening to you. Our assignment is to show the

924
00:51:38.640 --> 00:51:42.560
world what it looks like to be children of God in uncertain times. What does it look like to

925
00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:48.800
carry peace and chaos? Wisdom in the confusion that's going on out there right now. Faith in

926
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:56.480
the transitions that are happening. We're a tipping point generation. I believe we're a

927
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:00.960
tide turning generation. I heard that this morning. You are a tide turning generation.

928
00:52:02.160 --> 00:52:06.240
Whatever it is the world has been waiting for I believe it's here you guys and I believe that we

929
00:52:06.240 --> 00:52:10.240
are the people that are going to show it to them and so let's get back to last week's lesson

930
00:52:10.240 --> 00:52:16.240
stewarding the gates. It's time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and it's time to take a look

931
00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:20.400
at these gates in our lives you guys. These are the places of influence that we have control over

932
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:25.680
in our lives. We have to stop allowing anything and everything to come in and out of our lives.

933
00:52:28.560 --> 00:52:33.520
No more wide open gates especially to distraction and disruption and destruction.

934
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:39.040
So I want you to put in the chat what is the gate that God showed you last week.

935
00:52:41.200 --> 00:52:43.120
When we did the activation what was the gate?

936
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:53.040
Because whatever it was it's time to steward it. We have to guard it. We have to be alert. We have

937
00:52:53.040 --> 00:53:01.760
to be ready. There's all kinds of different stories in the Bible that talk about being

938
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:08.480
ready when your time of hesitation shows up. And in due season and in due season and in due season

939
00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:17.040
you know the the book of Acts the day of Pentecost. They had just been waiting around you guys.

940
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:25.120
God promised them something and yes you know maybe they only waited you know for I forget how many

941
00:53:25.120 --> 00:53:32.800
days it is now 30, 60 but the point is is that when it happened it happened suddenly didn't it?

942
00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:37.280
And there were some people that had already left and had given up on the waiting.

943
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:45.040
But we haven't. We're here and when the door opens God expects us to be awake and alert and ready.

944
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:50.800
Do you want to be awake and alert and ready? And this is up to you. I can't do this for you. You

945
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:57.040
have to pray into this and say okay God Jackie is saying she's being vulnerable and she's telling us

946
00:53:57.040 --> 00:54:04.320
that you told her to do some very specific things four years ago in order to be ready. But when the

947
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:09.200
thing that she was getting ready for didn't happen right away she kind of slipped back into

948
00:54:09.200 --> 00:54:18.880
bad habits and just stopped getting ready and stopped expecting suddenly. I'm just being honest.

949
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:27.120
Which ones of you can say that that's true of you too?

950
00:54:34.640 --> 00:54:38.640
I don't feel like God would have me release this if it's not true and you guys the Bible says

951
00:54:38.640 --> 00:54:42.400
through the mouth of two or three witnesses let a word be established and I've heard at

952
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:48.880
least two other prophets saying that God is bringing his people out from the hidden or

953
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:57.440
underground places. At least two others. And I know some of you have just been recently discouraged

954
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:59.760
very very discouraged.

955
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.700
I want you to raise your hand if just recently you have just felt like very, very, very discouraged

956
00:55:05.700 --> 00:55:13.580
all of a sudden about the things that you want to have happen that just never happen.

957
00:55:13.580 --> 00:55:16.860
Okay, that is a sign.

958
00:55:16.860 --> 00:55:19.100
Look at all of the people that are raising their hands.

959
00:55:19.100 --> 00:55:23.540
You guys, that is a sign that our captivity is ending.

960
00:55:23.540 --> 00:55:27.300
It's also a sign that, you know, the birthing pains are upon us.

961
00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:35.100
And so I want you, please, please, I want you to really take some time with the Lord

962
00:55:35.100 --> 00:55:42.500
this week and ask Him, what do I need to do, God, to be able to step into or step through

963
00:55:42.500 --> 00:55:44.100
the door when it opens?

964
00:55:44.100 --> 00:55:50.520
All right, I'm just going to do a declaration over you guys right now.

965
00:55:50.520 --> 00:55:52.340
You can repeat it with me if you want to.

966
00:55:52.340 --> 00:55:55.580
I am not forgotten.

967
00:55:55.580 --> 00:55:59.220
I am not forsaken.

968
00:55:59.220 --> 00:56:09.020
I am not left behind.

969
00:56:09.020 --> 00:56:17.360
I have been set apart for a specific time and purpose.

970
00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:18.360
God didn't forget about me.

971
00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:20.940
He's been preparing me.

972
00:56:20.940 --> 00:56:23.500
He's been preparing me.

973
00:56:23.500 --> 00:56:27.220
Even in these hidden seasons, He has been preparing me.

974
00:56:27.220 --> 00:56:33.080
I am part of a remnant.

975
00:56:33.080 --> 00:56:40.460
I am part of a group of people that God has set apart and set aside.

976
00:56:40.460 --> 00:56:50.340
I am part of a generation that is going to carry His light and His love in uncertain

977
00:56:50.340 --> 00:56:54.040
times.

978
00:56:54.040 --> 00:56:57.840
And I will guard the gates of my life.

979
00:56:57.840 --> 00:57:05.340
I will close the gates of distraction, disruption, and destruction.

980
00:57:05.340 --> 00:57:11.020
And right now, we're declaring that we will open the gates to God's wisdom, God's purpose,

981
00:57:11.020 --> 00:57:14.260
and God's opportunities for us.

982
00:57:14.260 --> 00:57:15.260
We are alert.

983
00:57:15.260 --> 00:57:17.180
We are ready.

984
00:57:17.180 --> 00:57:21.780
And we will step into everything God has prepared for us.

985
00:57:21.780 --> 00:57:22.780
In Jesus' name.

986
00:57:22.780 --> 00:57:23.780
Amen.

987
00:57:23.780 --> 00:57:27.700
I want to leave you just this one little thought.

988
00:57:27.700 --> 00:57:32.480
I know that we've all thought that we're constantly in just delay, delay, delay, delay.

989
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.200
But I believe that you've been in development, not a season of delay, but a season of development

990
00:57:36.200 --> 00:57:38.520
just like me.

991
00:57:38.520 --> 00:57:42.400
And all of these years for a lot of you that you feel like you've been waiting, they were

992
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:43.680
not punishment, you guys.

993
00:57:43.680 --> 00:57:46.120
They were preparation.

994
00:57:46.120 --> 00:57:52.560
And I do believe with all my heart, you will look back and not only will you understand

995
00:57:52.560 --> 00:57:58.440
the dots as they connect, not only will you understand why you did what you did and what

996
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.360
it meant, but you will also feel like it's worth it.

997
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:06.520
I know it doesn't feel worth it right now, but it will be worth it.

998
00:58:06.520 --> 00:58:09.040
When you see the pattern, it will be worth it.

999
00:58:09.040 --> 00:58:14.520
We've had several people get married just recently that have been single all their lives.

1000
00:58:14.520 --> 00:58:16.720
Now they're in their fifties, sixties.

1001
00:58:16.720 --> 00:58:19.880
And I know that you wanted to be married when you're in your twenties, or you don't understand

1002
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:24.500
why you couldn't have been a young bride or a young groom, and you didn't get a chance

1003
00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:26.040
to have biological children.

1004
00:58:26.040 --> 00:58:29.360
For those of you that I'm talking about, the people that just got married in their fifties

1005
00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:30.360
and sixties.

1006
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:34.680
But every one of those people have said to me that it's been worth it.

1007
00:58:34.680 --> 00:58:36.260
Then they look back on their life.

1008
00:58:36.260 --> 00:58:38.480
It makes sense because they accomplished other things.

1009
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:41.880
When other people were getting married and having families, they were doing other things.

1010
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:43.500
They were building nonprofits.

1011
00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:45.140
They were raising up people in the earth.

1012
00:58:45.140 --> 00:58:49.840
They were doing all kinds of different things, friends.

1013
00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:53.760
No assignment is less than.

1014
00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:57.080
And I just want to let you know that when you look back, it will be worth it.

1015
00:58:57.080 --> 00:58:58.080
It will be worth it.

1016
00:58:58.080 --> 00:59:00.080
You won't feel deprived.

1017
00:59:00.080 --> 00:59:06.320
You won't feel like you were gypped or you were robbed.

1018
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:08.400
So Father, we thank you, Lord.

1019
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:11.280
We lay down all of our hurt and pain right now.

1020
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:16.640
We lay down the idea that we're not as good as others.

1021
00:59:16.640 --> 00:59:21.600
We lay those things down right now, Father, because those things are going to be distractions

1022
00:59:21.600 --> 00:59:24.120
and we have to shut those gates of self-pity.

1023
00:59:24.120 --> 00:59:27.600
We have to shut those gates of self-pity, because if we don't, then we're going to be

1024
00:59:27.600 --> 00:59:31.560
blinded by self-pity and not see opportunity when it comes.

1025
00:59:31.560 --> 00:59:33.560
And so, Lord, we refuse.

1026
00:59:33.560 --> 00:59:37.440
We refuse to take on the posture of victim because we are victors.

1027
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:40.360
And so, Lord, we thank you, God, that you've chosen us.

1028
00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:43.160
We thank you, God, that it'll all be worth it in the end.

1029
00:59:43.160 --> 00:59:44.640
In Jesus' name, amen.

1030
00:59:44.640 --> 00:59:46.920
All right, friends, appreciate you all.

1031
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:47.560
See you soon.
