1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
All right, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:10.240
For those of you that's jumping on, it's me, David Dorman, in the house, and we are going

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:11.560
to have a great day today.

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.840
All right, you guys, I'm really excited about the future.

5
00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:17.240
Are you excited about the future?

6
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:18.240
Yes or no?

7
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.320
Put yes or no in the chat, and be honest, because there isn't any brownie points for

8
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.440
lying, okay, for pretending.

9
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.400
Are you excited about the future?

10
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:30.400
Everyone's just honest.

11
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:31.400
They're like, currently, no.

12
00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:35.520
Currently, no, I'm not that excited about the future, right?

13
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.640
Some of you are like, a little bit, somewhat, not at the moment, no, no, no.

14
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.680
Some people like, yeah, certain parts, but the other parts, I don't know.

15
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.800
And I feel you.

16
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:50.360
I feel you, because I felt like that like three days ago.

17
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:54.800
Three days ago, I was just like, ugh, you know what?

18
00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.360
Take me home, Jesus, because I'm done.

19
00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:59.680
And we go back and forth, right?

20
00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:04.040
Because we are being influenced by our circumstances, and we are all like that.

21
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.440
We're all like that at some level.

22
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.160
And I totally understand.

23
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:17.800
I heard, so you guys, seriously, I went on Monday, it's Saturday, I went on Monday to

24
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:22.400
the gym with my daughter, my 25-year-old daughter.

25
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.920
Someone needs to be muted there.

26
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.320
So let's get you muted.

27
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:29.320
Lots of people need to be muted.

28
00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:32.680
Come on, y'all, you got to mute your phones, because otherwise there's going to be background

29
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.640
noise, and that background noise is going to mess up the recording for all the replay

30
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:37.640
people.

31
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:38.640
Okay.

32
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:46.680
So I went to the gym on Monday with my 25-year-old daughter, and she wasn't doing anything intense,

33
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:47.680
you guys.

34
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.320
I just haven't been to the gym in a year of Sundays, like actually the gym.

35
00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:56.720
You know, I walk a lot, but going to the gym, lifting weights, that's not something

36
00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:57.720
that I do.

37
00:01:57.720 --> 00:02:01.540
And it's something that I've been told that us older ladies should be doing.

38
00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:04.320
We need that for our bones, right?

39
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.000
It strengthens your bones.

40
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.320
Diana's like, no, but we do.

41
00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:13.720
We need it, Diana, we need it for our bones.

42
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:16.560
And so, but don't do what I did.

43
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.460
Don't go to the gym with a 25-year-old, not a good idea.

44
00:02:21.460 --> 00:02:26.860
So I went, and once again, she wasn't doing anything, I don't think, that strenuous, but

45
00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:33.620
she was doing these things with this kettlebell called Romanian deadlifts, RDLs.

46
00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:34.620
Anyone know what this is?

47
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:36.580
You just hinge over at your waist.

48
00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:41.940
You have like a kettlebell, and all you do is just, you stay straight.

49
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:43.220
You stay as straight as you can.

50
00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:47.940
You can bend your knees a little bit, but you're just hinging over back and forth, kind

51
00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:53.100
of like a crane with this weight, and it's supposed to strengthen your glutes and your

52
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:54.420
hamstrings, whatever.

53
00:02:54.420 --> 00:03:02.060
Well, I did like 10 of those with a much smaller kettlebell than her, and went about my merry

54
00:03:02.060 --> 00:03:03.060
way.

55
00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:04.500
The rest of the day, I'm doing things.

56
00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:10.180
I start noticing a couple hours later that one of my feet has this weird humming kind

57
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:13.620
of in it, like almost like it's connected to an electrical outlet.

58
00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:16.740
And I'm like, huh, that's so weird.

59
00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:18.300
And I was like, what the heck is that?

60
00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:23.620
And then the other foot started to have a little bit, not as much as the left foot.

61
00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:27.820
And then pretty soon, that feeling's creeping up my leg, and then it's turning into zings

62
00:03:27.820 --> 00:03:31.540
and pops, like nerve type of feelings.

63
00:03:31.540 --> 00:03:33.980
And I'm like, oh no, what the heck?

64
00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:36.900
And you guys, do you know that I did not put two and two together?

65
00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:41.700
Like, oh, I went to the gym for the first time in a million years, in a millennium today,

66
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:42.820
and now I'm having this.

67
00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:44.300
Those two things must be related.

68
00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:45.680
No, no, no.

69
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.480
I didn't put those two things together.

70
00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:48.480
Ah, no.

71
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:54.960
Have you guys ever heard the saying, if you hear the sound of hooves coming, it's probably

72
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.960
horses and not zebras.

73
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.960
Has anyone ever heard that saying?

74
00:03:58.960 --> 00:03:59.960
Okay.

75
00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:01.320
Well, you know what?

76
00:04:01.320 --> 00:04:03.840
I went full zebra mode.

77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.760
I went full zebra mode.

78
00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:09.440
It must be zebras.

79
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:14.560
I went down so many zebra, little rabbit, zebra trails.

80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.560
I was looking for zebras everywhere.

81
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.360
I was like, oh my gosh, what's happening?

82
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.519
I have a vitamin deficiency.

83
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.640
I have toxicity from my supplements.

84
00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:30.880
You guys, first of all, I just want to let you know, my chat GPT history could be a movie.

85
00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:34.080
It could be its own movie, all right?

86
00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.720
If anyone found my phone and looked at my chat GPT search history, they'd be like, this

87
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.360
woman is certifiable.

88
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.920
She's got serious issues.

89
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.800
And some of you are rowing that boat with me, so you can laugh all you want, but it's

90
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.800
you too.

91
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.800
All right, hold on.

92
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.160
I'm becoming myself again.

93
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.480
You mute yourself.

94
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.480
Okay.

95
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.280
I'm back on my phone.

96
00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:00.040
So I...

97
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.560
go down, you guys, I am making myself freaked out now,

98
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:05.640
because just so you know,

99
00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:08.960
the internet will tell you whatever you want to hear.

100
00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:11.000
It'll tell you whatever you want to hear,

101
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.720
especially these AI things like chat GBT and stuff.

102
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.240
It will tell you whatever you want.

103
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.160
It will agree with you.

104
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.560
It will go all the way there with you

105
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.080
if you want to go all the way there.

106
00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:27.040
And so now me, and by the way, my chat, his name is Jeffrey.

107
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:32.040
Me and Jeffrey are down every zebra path you can imagine.

108
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.640
All right?

109
00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:36.360
I have vitamin B6 toxicity.

110
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.720
I have an iron deficiency.

111
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.720
I have an allergic reaction to some random ingredient

112
00:05:44.760 --> 00:05:46.400
in one of my supplements.

113
00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:47.800
Yes, that's right.

114
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.800
And I went to bed that night in that belief,

115
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.520
in that belief system, and it didn't get better.

116
00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:56.360
It got worse as the day wore on,

117
00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:58.160
and then at night I'm barely able to sleep

118
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.080
because my legs are just crazy.

119
00:06:01.080 --> 00:06:04.360
And it's one leg more than the other, but it's both.

120
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.840
Then the next day, it's even worse.

121
00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:09.480
And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is not going away.

122
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:10.720
I stopped taking this.

123
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:11.840
I didn't take that.

124
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:13.520
Now I'm scanning everything, you guys.

125
00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:17.000
I am looking and looking and looking for the solution.

126
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:17.840
What am I not doing?

127
00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:19.200
I'm not praying.

128
00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:21.680
I'm not doing any of that.

129
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.160
I'm just off on my own adventure,

130
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.160
trying to figure out what the heck's wrong

131
00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:27.800
and how to fix it.

132
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.400
By the end of that day, you guys,

133
00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:31.880
I am mentally and emotionally exhausted.

134
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:34.760
I have gone down every dark alley.

135
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:38.200
I have believed every horrible thought about myself now.

136
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:40.200
Now it's not only a vitamin deficiency

137
00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:41.960
or it's toxicity from something.

138
00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:45.680
Now it's a full-blown, you know,

139
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.960
something terrible has happened.

140
00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:51.320
It has come on suddenly, and now this is my new normal.

141
00:06:51.320 --> 00:06:52.200
Anybody else?

142
00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:54.040
Anybody else?

143
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:55.280
Just go all the way there.

144
00:06:56.760 --> 00:07:00.080
The problem is, is that that shouldn't be the default.

145
00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.680
You guys, I'm being very transparent.

146
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.240
I don't really know how else to be.

147
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.000
That's the kind of person that I am.

148
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:06.240
So like it or leave it.

149
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.560
But that should not be the default.

150
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.400
But you know what?

151
00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:12.080
The reason why it's my default

152
00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:15.640
is because I grew up very abused.

153
00:07:15.640 --> 00:07:19.080
And even though I've known Jesus for 29 years, you guys,

154
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.640
I'm gonna celebrate my 30th year of full-time ministry

155
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.480
next summer.

156
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.720
You're like, whoa, Jackie, wait,

157
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:28.920
you mean it doesn't get better?

158
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.680
Well, it's not about not getting better.

159
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.320
I just want you to understand that I have,

160
00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:37.680
I had been through so much big T trauma in my life

161
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.880
that I've become a very hypervigilant person.

162
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.800
Hypervigilant meaning always looking for danger,

163
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.680
always looking for the shoe to drop,

164
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.560
always wondering what's around the corner,

165
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.480
always squinting to see what that light is

166
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.320
at the end of the tunnel

167
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.520
because I'm pretty sure it's a train.

168
00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:00.440
You know, this is my default settings

169
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:02.040
because of how I came into the world.

170
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.480
Now, we all came into the world under the curse.

171
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.360
Every single one of us,

172
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.600
the curse just looks different on every single one of us.

173
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.600
This is why we're like, oh, look at these babies.

174
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.880
One of our success stories just had a baby

175
00:08:12.880 --> 00:08:14.280
and they live in town.

176
00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:16.400
So I dropped off some breakfast sandwiches

177
00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:17.720
at their house on the porch

178
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.000
and some little, you know, sleepers for the little baby

179
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.040
and all the things.

180
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.120
And it's like, oh, look at this baby.

181
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.680
This baby is the cutest baby, you guys.

182
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.760
It has a huge head.

183
00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:28.680
It doesn't have a huge head.

184
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.600
It has a big, it has a lot of hair,

185
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:32.840
is what I'm trying to say.

186
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:33.720
It doesn't have a huge head.

187
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.120
It has a normal sized head

188
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.640
and it has all of this beautiful dark hair

189
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:40.799
that I think is gonna be curly.

190
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.799
Gorgeous little head of hair on that little girl.

191
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.720
And, you know, we're like, oh, this baby is so sweet,

192
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.840
so innocent.

193
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:49.720
No, they're not.

194
00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:51.520
They're not innocent.

195
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.800
They're born into the curse, y'all.

196
00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:55.000
They're born into the curse.

197
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.680
And if you've ever watched a toddler

198
00:08:56.680 --> 00:08:57.960
try to get what they want,

199
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.480
you will know that children have been born into the curse.

200
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.400
No one has to teach them how to bite.

201
00:09:04.400 --> 00:09:08.720
No one has to teach them how to smack or hit or grab

202
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.960
or, you know, not share.

203
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.320
Like you have to teach them how to not bite

204
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.200
and how to not hit and how to share

205
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.240
because they're born into the curse.

206
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.480
Me, me, me, mine, mine.

207
00:09:21.640 --> 00:09:22.480
Right?

208
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.920
So all of us were born into the curse

209
00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:26.280
and the curse looks different on us

210
00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:29.640
depending on how we were raised and what that looked like.

211
00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:31.320
You know, some of us, like myself,

212
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.920
were born into families that were very unsafe

213
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:35.720
and we had to fend for our lives,

214
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.520
came out of the womb, running for your life immediately.

215
00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:40.920
And so that made me hypervigilant, you guys.

216
00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:43.320
I've been independent from a very young age,

217
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.680
watching my own back, sleeping with one eye open.

218
00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:51.600
And so when, even now, 51 years later,

219
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.440
when something is out of place,

220
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.640
when something's out of alignment,

221
00:09:57.640 --> 00:10:00.040
I will oftentimes

222
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.600
go down the darkest road of what that could be.

223
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.640
And I'm saying all that because if that's your default setting, and some of you

224
00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:15.440
kind of is, but it kind of isn't, but a lot of us are real worriers. We worry about things. We

225
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:22.000
try to figure things out ourselves. We think about worst case scenarios very easily. We're

226
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.920
hypervigilant about our safety and about the safety of the people that we love.

227
00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:32.880
And we're always concerned about keeping that stuff safe, keeping ourselves safe. And so I

228
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:37.600
did that here. And so it was on the second night. So that happened Monday, all day, Tuesday,

229
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.120
I'm a mess. Tuesday night, I'm a mess. Wednesday. Wednesday, I finally decide to, oh, let's take

230
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.320
this to Jesus. Okay. And so I'm like, oh, I don't know what else to do. I'm exhausted.

231
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.000
And Holy Spirit's like, do you think you might've hurt yourself working out?

232
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:59.360
I was like, wait, what? Yeah. One and one equals two. The sound of those hooves. Those are horses.

233
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:05.040
This is literally the thought that Holy Spirit dropped in my heart when I got up that morning

234
00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:10.560
on Wednesday. The simplest thing is often the true thing.

235
00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:19.840
That's the thought that dropped into my spirit is that it's an easy fix. It's a simple fix.

236
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:30.240
And I was just like, oh, wait a second. Okay. I hurt myself. So I went to the chiropractor

237
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:34.320
on Thursday, not on Wednesday. On Thursday, I waited one more day. I iced my back.

238
00:11:35.280 --> 00:11:40.240
I iced my lower back. Things started getting better that night. I got some good sleep.

239
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:45.440
It was good. I was feeling better. I went to the chiropractor on Thursday. Then it got better.

240
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.720
Yesterday, it was even better. Today, it's going to be even better. Praise the Lord.

241
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:59.200
Thank you, God. But I'm saying all that to say that I suffered

242
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:09.920
so much between Monday and Thursday, needlessly, needlessly, friends, need-less-ly.

243
00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:15.120
Now, yeah, I was still going to have some pain and discomfort in my body. And I still do right now.

244
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.800
But I'm just saying that pain, but discomfort and just weirdness.

245
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:28.320
But I was suffering mentally, needlessly. Anyone else suffer mentally, needlessly? Can I see in

246
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:35.920
the chat? You know you got a problem. You don't know how to solve it. But you've already imagined

247
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.240
in your imagination all the terrible things that are going to happen.

248
00:12:40.400 --> 00:12:44.720
You're going to get evicted. You're not going to be able to pay your mortgage or your rent.

249
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:49.920
You're going to get evicted. Your car's got a little sound. And you're like, oh, I don't have

250
00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:55.440
any money to fix the car. Oh, car, you can't break down. What's wrong with you? You're acting a

251
00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.160
little weird. And then you go all the way there that now you don't have a car. Now you can't get

252
00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:03.440
to work. You've got to take the bus. You've got to bum rides off friends. And then you lose your

253
00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:08.240
work. You've got to take the bus. You've got to bum rides off friends. And then you lose your job.

254
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:16.800
I mean, a lot of us have a tendency to believe that we are in this world on our own.

255
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.600
And as a single, I can imagine that's even worse because it's been a while since I've

256
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.520
been a single, but I was a single and I was a single mom. And it's a scary place,

257
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:31.840
especially if you're estranged from your family. Like my family, no.

258
00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:43.360
But you guys, we're not on our own in the earth. We're not. So last week I asked the question,

259
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:50.960
well, I talked about what would happen if Brennan Manning was right. And this is just very

260
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:57.360
philosophical friends. And we get to heaven and Jesus asks us, did you really believe that I

261
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:04.960
loved you on earth? And this all plays into that because if we want to live our lives like people

262
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:12.640
that are fully loved, you know, I taught you guys that lesson last Saturday on Supernatural Saturday.

263
00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:18.560
And then I lived the opposite of it all week. Was I acting like someone that Jesus really loves?

264
00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:24.560
Was I acting like someone who was safe and protected? Was I acting like someone who God

265
00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:29.360
is emotionally involved with? No, I didn't even actually even go to God. I tried to figure it out

266
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:38.720
myself like a little orphan Annie, little orphan Jackie out here, not practicing what she's preaching.

267
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:46.240
Okay. So you guys, it's important for us to understand that that looks like something.

268
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.560
So I want to talk about something today that we have in our program. So it doesn't matter if you're

269
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:56.800
at the very beginning of our program or you're all the way in VIP community at the very end of

270
00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:59.760
our program. We have something called the Jesus Cares Board.

271
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.080
And I want to let you know that the Jesus Cares Board exists because of this exact thing.

272
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:12.720
Because I had habitual anxiety.

273
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:21.860
Even as a believer, I had a hard time allowing myself to surrender to the idea that God was

274
00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:28.120
for me, that He was going to help me, that He was my present help in time of need.

275
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:29.200
I had a hard time.

276
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.280
You can still see that I'm not fully cured.

277
00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:36.720
And I don't know that we can be fully cured in this earth soup.

278
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.600
I think the flesh always will gravitate towards independence, will always gravitate towards

279
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.120
how can I fix this?

280
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.040
How can I make this better?

281
00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:46.960
You know, how can I keep myself safe?

282
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.240
And so we really have to be almost warring against that.

283
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.600
This is spiritual warfare.

284
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.320
Against that tendency to be an orphan.

285
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.400
Against that tendency to go around acting like, you know, we're on our own in this whole

286
00:16:02.400 --> 00:16:03.400
thing.

287
00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:04.520
All right.

288
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:10.320
So last week I talked about, did you really believe I loved you?

289
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.280
But let's talk about love for a second because we always hear, well, God is love.

290
00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:17.040
God doesn't just have love.

291
00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:19.080
He is love.

292
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:20.080
God is love.

293
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.080
Well, okay.

294
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:22.200
That's great.

295
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.640
But how do we know that?

296
00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:27.320
How do we know that God is love?

297
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:28.320
Put it in the chat.

298
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.360
I mean, it's great.

299
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.360
People are telling us that.

300
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:33.360
That's wonderful.

301
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.400
But how do we know it?

302
00:16:36.400 --> 00:16:48.360
Jesus, Charlotte, the only way that we know God is love, God, the father, the spirit of

303
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.080
God, that it is love, that it doesn't just have love, that it is love.

304
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.740
The only reason we know that is through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

305
00:16:57.740 --> 00:17:01.200
For God so loved the world that he sent his son.

306
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.359
And we haven't seen the father except through Christ, right?

307
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.200
Jesus says, you know, if you've seen me, you've seen the father.

308
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:17.960
And through the person of Christ, how he lived, what he did, how he died, we see the father.

309
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.680
That's the only way we can see the father.

310
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.480
Because you guys, the God of the Old Testament wasn't looking too loving, I'm just going

311
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:24.480
to tell you.

312
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:32.240
If you read the Old Testament, you're like, dang, some scary stuff happening down here.

313
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.360
Right?

314
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:42.520
But then after Jesus, everything kind of shifted, didn't it?

315
00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:43.880
And I'm not saying that God shifted.

316
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.660
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

317
00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:51.260
But the way that we saw him through the lens of the Old Testament, through the lens of

318
00:17:51.260 --> 00:17:56.940
sin, through the lens of the law, and the way that we should see him through the lens

319
00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:59.100
of the finished work of the cross is different.

320
00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:03.340
Do you guys see that?

321
00:18:03.340 --> 00:18:08.020
Kind of comes into focus a little bit more.

322
00:18:08.020 --> 00:18:13.780
So what's so beautiful about this, you guys, is we can live not just a fully surrendered

323
00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:18.620
life, but we could live, if we wanted to, and I'm talking to myself right now, we could

324
00:18:18.620 --> 00:18:21.260
live a worry-free life.

325
00:18:21.260 --> 00:18:23.140
Remember what God told me at the beginning of the year?

326
00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:25.860
He said, Jackie, I don't want you to worry this year.

327
00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:26.980
If you can fix it, fix it.

328
00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:28.460
If you can't, give it to me.

329
00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:31.800
And you guys, that goes back to that Jesus Cares Board.

330
00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:37.100
The reason why the Jesus Cares Board exists in the first place, in this program, is because

331
00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.340
I needed it.

332
00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:46.020
I needed a prophetic activation to release care and worry, because I not only carried

333
00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:49.500
my own care and worry, I carried everybody else's care and worry.

334
00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:59.220
I was like a care and worry pack horse, because people see me as strong, and so people would

335
00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:01.620
just give me all their worry.

336
00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:03.140
People would bring all their problems to me.

337
00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:04.300
Anybody else?

338
00:19:04.300 --> 00:19:05.300
Constantly.

339
00:19:05.300 --> 00:19:11.220
I was bogged down with everybody else's problems, everybody else's situations.

340
00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:16.260
Everybody else's, you know, needed answers on this or that, bogged down with praying

341
00:19:16.260 --> 00:19:17.260
for everybody else.

342
00:19:17.260 --> 00:19:19.160
I had my own situations.

343
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:28.940
Anybody else become like a catch-all of everyone's drama and trauma?

344
00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:32.700
I mean, I'm not like that anymore, but I'm just saying, because I have this thing called

345
00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:33.700
boundaries.

346
00:19:33.860 --> 00:19:34.860
You ever heard of it?

347
00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:35.860
Okay.

348
00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:38.420
I found out about it.

349
00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:48.980
I wish I would have found out about it a lot sooner, it would have been better.

350
00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:53.180
For a while, my little pendulum swung all the way the other side to where people would

351
00:19:53.180 --> 00:19:59.340
just come up to me, and before they even said anything, I was like, no, because you get

352
00:19:59.340 --> 00:19:59.980
burnt out, right?

353
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
I get burned out and then it's not good.

354
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.000
All right.

355
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.480
So, you guys, that is why the Jesus Cares Board exists.

356
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.000
If you're brand new to our program, just know that that's why it exists.

357
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.000
It exists because your leader, Jackie Dorman, is neurotic.

358
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.060
That's why it exists, okay?

359
00:20:16.060 --> 00:20:21.760
And I was having a hard life, you guys, and I was going through a really hard season where

360
00:20:21.760 --> 00:20:25.880
I was not going to make it, all right?

361
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.480
Much harder than any of the stuff I'm talking about now.

362
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:34.360
And God was visiting me in the night hours during this season.

363
00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:39.200
And when He was visiting me in the night hours, you know, this is where we began this conversation

364
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:45.520
about who I belong to, which is Him, and who my problems belong to, which I thought was

365
00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:47.400
me.

366
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.200
But if I belong to Him, then my problems have to belong to Him too.

367
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.400
And then He was very clear about telling me that He doesn't have any problems.

368
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.560
And so this is where the Jesus Cares Board was birthed.

369
00:20:59.560 --> 00:21:03.080
And when I tell you that it's supernatural, it's supernatural.

370
00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:07.640
If you really believe it, if you really receive the word that I'm releasing right now, and

371
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.480
I know that you learned this in phase one, and some of you are in phase one, but this

372
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.800
is just going to hit it home even harder.

373
00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:19.320
Because I believe that God wants us to stop suffering and start celebrating.

374
00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:24.720
So if I was going to give today's Supernatural Saturday a title, why are you suffering when

375
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.600
it's time to celebrate?

376
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:30.320
Stop suffering and start celebrating.

377
00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:32.680
God said that to me yesterday.

378
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.840
He said, Jackie, there are times, friends, where we're mourning.

379
00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:44.640
When I lost my mom in 2020, there have been other things where there have been times of

380
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.640
sorrow.

381
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:46.640
There's been times of grief.

382
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.720
And some of you may have been going through something like that recently or even present.

383
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.360
The Bible says that weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

384
00:21:56.360 --> 00:22:00.320
It says we're going to put off our sackcloth and ashes and we're going to dance.

385
00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:02.320
Okay, we're going to celebrate.

386
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:06.080
And I believe that the time of celebrating has come.

387
00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:09.860
So regardless of what it is that you're going through, because I have some situations right

388
00:22:09.860 --> 00:22:13.680
now that are not resolved, the back thing is resolving itself.

389
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:14.680
That's great.

390
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:19.800
But there's some other situations that if I really wanted to, I could suffer needlessly.

391
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:21.960
And when I say suffer needlessly, I mean worrying.

392
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.480
You guys, worrying is suffering.

393
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:25.200
Do you know that?

394
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:33.760
When you are worrying, listen to me, you are suffering.

395
00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:36.300
You are suffering.

396
00:22:36.300 --> 00:22:39.840
And I want you to think about all the things that you've worried about in your lifetime

397
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:44.480
that have actually never happened.

398
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:49.280
So you suffered needlessly, didn't you?

399
00:22:49.280 --> 00:22:52.800
Because God did work it out, didn't he?

400
00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:58.800
When you finally let go of it, I mean, I'm talking to myself right now.

401
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:07.160
You guys, come on, come on.

402
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:12.240
How can we be a people, the word that we received from Jesus, the word of prophecy we received

403
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.560
two Supernatural Saturdays ago, if you didn't hear it, go listen to it, and then I unpacked

404
00:23:16.560 --> 00:23:19.120
it even further last week.

405
00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:23.680
How can we be that people that shows this world what it looks like to be the redeemed,

406
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:28.720
to be the sons and daughters of God, if we're just around suffering all the time?

407
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.040
No one wants that life.

408
00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:34.960
You know that scene at the end of Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly is in the car

409
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:39.920
with Anne Hathaway and she's just like, you know, living this terrible life.

410
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:47.320
Yeah, I mean, she's stylish and she runs the magazine and all the things, but her home

411
00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:50.960
life is a wreck and all the stuff.

412
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:55.080
Anne Hathaway's character, Andy, is sitting in the car with her and they're in Paris and

413
00:23:55.080 --> 00:24:00.200
Miranda Priestly says to her, which is Meryl Streep, by the way, she says, you know, you

414
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.040
remind me of myself.

415
00:24:02.040 --> 00:24:06.760
And Andy's like, oh, heck no, I don't want to be you.

416
00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:09.020
I don't want to be you.

417
00:24:09.020 --> 00:24:12.400
And so Andy says, I don't see that.

418
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:16.040
And then she says, what if I don't want to live like you, Miranda?

419
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:19.480
And she said, don't be ridiculous, Andrea.

420
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.920
Everybody wants this.

421
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.080
No, y'all.

422
00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:30.880
Not everybody wants to live for Jesus if this is what it looks like.

423
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.080
Now, in the world, we will have trouble and everyone's going to have trouble, even Christ

424
00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:37.080
followers.

425
00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:38.520
Jesus said we were going to have trouble.

426
00:24:38.520 --> 00:24:43.560
Many are the adversities of the righteous, but then he goes on to say, but I will deliver

427
00:24:43.560 --> 00:24:45.040
them out of them all.

428
00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:46.040
Right.

429
00:24:46.040 --> 00:24:48.040
Isn't that what he says?

430
00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:49.880
He says, you're going to have trouble in this world.

431
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:54.680
And then he says in the next breath, but be of good cheer because I have overcome the

432
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:55.680
world.

433
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:57.920
Come on, be of good cheer.

434
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.240
Does that sound like suffering?

435
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.840
It sounds kind of like celebrating, doesn't it?

436
00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:10.120
Come on, you guys.

437
00:25:10.120 --> 00:25:11.560
I'm talking to myself.

438
00:25:11.560 --> 00:25:15.000
I'm tired of suffering.

439
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.960
Yes, we're going to have some adversities and when we're going through them, I guess

440
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.880
our posture should just be, you know what, I'm either up or getting up.

441
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.840
God has promised to deliver me out of all of this, out of every single adversity.

442
00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:34.080
It's promised.

443
00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:35.440
And He is love.

444
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:40.960
And I've seen that He is love because I have read the life of Jesus Christ and He was all

445
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.960
mercy.

446
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.960
He was all grace.

447
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.440
He was all love.

448
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.360
And this is what the Father looks like.

449
00:25:49.360 --> 00:25:51.000
This is what the Father looks like.

450
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:56.600
That cross where Jesus died for me is what the Father looks like.

451
00:25:56.600 --> 00:25:58.840
Yes.

452
00:25:58.840 --> 00:26:06.760
So if you have allowed your Jesus Cares Board to get stagnant like me, I actually redid

453
00:26:06.760 --> 00:26:08.880
the hallway.

454
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.520
We put some different things in our hallway, which caused me to take my Jesus Cares Board

455
00:26:12.520 --> 00:26:18.520
down like two years ago and I never put it back up, or a year and a half ago, and I never

456
00:26:18.520 --> 00:26:19.840
put it back up.

457
00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:23.280
So it's time for my Jesus Cares Board to get back up there.

458
00:26:23.280 --> 00:26:29.000
Mine was just a Post-it note with a bunch of Post-it notes.

459
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:33.000
That's what mine was.

460
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.680
And let's see.

461
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:37.560
Okay.

462
00:26:37.560 --> 00:26:40.740
Mine was just a Post-it note with a bunch of Post-it notes on it, like so the big huge

463
00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:45.120
Post-it note from like Staples and then a bunch of little Post-it notes, like all the

464
00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:47.880
different like blue, pink, yellow, green ones.

465
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:48.880
Okay.

466
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:52.800
So when I felt like I was not worrying about that thing anymore, or that thing had gotten

467
00:26:52.800 --> 00:27:02.120
resolved or just had gone away for whatever reason, then I would take it off.

468
00:27:02.120 --> 00:27:04.120
I would just take it down.

469
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:07.920
But I will tell you that the Jesus Cares Board, once again, it was birthed during a very,

470
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.160
very hard, one of the hardest seasons of my entire life.

471
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.880
And that's saying a lot, because I've had a lot of big T trauma, and God really got

472
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:25.040
me through that season by helping me to understand that my problems belong to Him because I belong

473
00:27:25.040 --> 00:27:26.600
to Him.

474
00:27:26.600 --> 00:27:29.760
And you know, a lot of times, friends, it's hard for us to give something to God that

475
00:27:29.760 --> 00:27:33.940
we know that we were the author of, that we created that problem.

476
00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.940
It was our mistake.

477
00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.940
It was our bad.

478
00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:37.080
We should not have done it.

479
00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:38.560
We should not have trusted that person.

480
00:27:38.560 --> 00:27:40.520
We should not have invested that money.

481
00:27:40.520 --> 00:27:42.680
We should not have taken that job.

482
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.680
Whatever.

483
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.240
You guys, it doesn't matter how the trouble came to you.

484
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:50.800
It doesn't matter if you open the door to it.

485
00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:52.600
It does not matter.

486
00:27:52.600 --> 00:28:00.280
It still falls under the jurisdiction of God's problem, not yours.

487
00:28:00.280 --> 00:28:03.680
And remember, God doesn't have any problems.

488
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.680
Right?

489
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:07.680
Right.

490
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:15.400
So we got to go back to casting our cares on Him because He cares for us.

491
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.120
Let Him care for you.

492
00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:21.920
And I don't just mean care like a feeling, like, oh, I care for you, caretaking.

493
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.080
Let Him take care of you.

494
00:28:24.080 --> 00:28:27.440
Who wants to be taken care of?

495
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.000
Can I see your hands?

496
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.280
Who would like to be taken care of?

497
00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:33.800
And gentlemen, this absolutely pertains to you.

498
00:28:33.800 --> 00:28:36.720
This is not a passenger princess situation.

499
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.720
Okay?

500
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:54.680
In fact, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you are the princesses of God, too.

501
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:58.960
One of the things that I've always really enjoyed is to see how other cultures, not

502
00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:02.400
American culture, but how other cultures treat their sons.

503
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.480
Do you want to hear the song I've been doing?

504
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:05.480
Hold on, guys.

505
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:06.480
Got a mute situation going on.

506
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.480
Let me turn it up a little bit.

507
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.480
This is the Touch of Heaven one.

508
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.480
What's it called?

509
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:10.480
Touch of Heaven.

510
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.480
Oh, yeah.

511
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:12.480
All right.

512
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.480
Muted.

513
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:34.480
I worked with a very prominent Israeli man during a film festival that I was producing.

514
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.320
And he was the owner of the film festival.

515
00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:43.280
He was very rough and gruff, you know, very, just think like, just think like mobster Italian

516
00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:46.360
New York City type of personalities.

517
00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:51.160
Like that's the kind of personality that a lot of the Israeli men that I have met, the

518
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:55.400
ones that are from Israel, the business guys, they really have this kind of personality.

519
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:56.400
Okay?

520
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.040
And really rough and gruff, you know, and just walking through the venue.

521
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.080
Every single day, this film festival venue, we're one day, we're one day to the event

522
00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:10.360
and just yelling at everyone, cussing everybody out.

523
00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:14.360
I've never heard the F-word so many times in my entire life.

524
00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:19.800
And then his wife and his son show up the day of the festival.

525
00:30:19.800 --> 00:30:21.080
I've never met her.

526
00:30:21.080 --> 00:30:22.840
I've never met his little boy.

527
00:30:22.840 --> 00:30:24.880
He's mentioned that he has a little boy.

528
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.880
His little boy is five, six years old.

529
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.320
And I hear this little voice.

530
00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:35.560
I hear this little voice yelling down the hall at this venue.

531
00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:41.520
I hear, Abba, Abba, Abba.

532
00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:47.000
And I've never, ever heard anyone in real life call their father Abba.

533
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.240
I mean, we call God Abba father.

534
00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:56.560
That's what the Bible says, that we're no longer fearful, but that we're children.

535
00:30:56.560 --> 00:31:01.080
We're children that can say, father, dear father, Abba, father.

536
00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:03.040
That means father, dear father.

537
00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:08.440
And so I hear this little voice yelling Abba, and I'm like, what in the world?

538
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:14.320
And then I see this gruff man, this man that I've experienced in a very different way,

539
00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:17.400
step out in the hallway and open his arms.

540
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.400
And this isn't a little girl.

541
00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:19.560
This is a little boy.

542
00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:22.560
David is his name, David.

543
00:31:22.560 --> 00:31:26.760
David, David runs into Abba's arms.

544
00:31:26.760 --> 00:31:29.360
It is the sweetest thing that I've ever seen.

545
00:31:29.360 --> 00:31:34.760
But the entire time that he was with his son during this weekend that I was with him, he

546
00:31:34.760 --> 00:31:39.320
was so gentle, such a gentle father, such a patient father.

547
00:31:39.320 --> 00:31:40.560
It was really, really beautiful.

548
00:31:40.560 --> 00:31:45.920
You guys, we see this God of the Old Testament and, you know, people are getting smite.

549
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:47.320
They're getting smite down.

550
00:31:47.320 --> 00:31:49.960
I don't even know how else to say it.

551
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.440
Whole groups of people are just getting wiped out.

552
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:53.440
This is happening.

553
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.440
That's happening.

554
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:55.440
There's plagues happening.

555
00:31:55.440 --> 00:32:01.240
There's, you know, there's, I'm sorry, you had me at lice.

556
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.760
With the lice plague, I would have been out.

557
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:04.760
Anybody else?

558
00:32:04.760 --> 00:32:06.160
I worked at a daycare in college.

559
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.080
I had lice one time.

560
00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:11.160
It was the most harrowing experience of my life.

561
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:12.880
Can you imagine a plague of lice?

562
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.640
I'm like, check, please.

563
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:15.640
I'm done.

564
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.640
Done.

565
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.960
Done.

566
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.960
Dead.

567
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:19.960
Over.

568
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.960
Okay.

569
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:28.000
So we're seeing all this in the Old Testament, and that reminds me of this man pre-event.

570
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:33.160
But then when the event comes and the son comes, I saw the father through the son.

571
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.920
Do you hear what I'm saying?

572
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.680
Do you hear what I'm saying?

573
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:38.680
Abba.

574
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.680
Abba.

575
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.680
Abba.

576
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:41.680
Open arms.

577
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:43.680
Open arms.

578
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.960
So, gentlemen, I just want to let you know that I've seen the way the father treats the

579
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.960
sons.

580
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:53.560
I know that we have this idea in American culture that men need to be hard, grow up,

581
00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:56.120
be a man, take it like a man.

582
00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:58.360
You know, don't cry, you little baby.

583
00:32:58.360 --> 00:33:00.760
You know, that is not how Father God treats his sons.

584
00:33:00.760 --> 00:33:02.720
I'm just going to tell you that right now.

585
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.760
I don't know how that came to be part of American culture, but it's BS.

586
00:33:07.760 --> 00:33:13.320
And it's part of the reason why we have men out here that don't know what to do.

587
00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:14.320
They don't know who to be.

588
00:33:14.320 --> 00:33:21.160
They're in a full-blown identity crisis because of the way the culture has told men what it

589
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.440
looks like to be a man.

590
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.200
I'm sorry, that's not what it looks like to be a man.

591
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.360
It doesn't.

592
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:30.080
Men and women were both created in the image of God.

593
00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:35.080
Men are very good at different things when it comes to structuring and strategizing and

594
00:33:35.080 --> 00:33:36.080
ordering.

595
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:38.560
Ladies, you know, you can say all you want is all.

596
00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:39.720
We don't need no men.

597
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.720
Okay, that's fine.

598
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.880
But when you drive down the street today, I want you to look around at all the buildings.

599
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:46.760
Women didn't build those, ladies.

600
00:33:46.760 --> 00:33:50.520
I know that you think we are women, we can roar and do whatever, but they didn't build

601
00:33:50.520 --> 00:33:52.680
none of that, okay?

602
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:54.200
Not one of those things.

603
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:56.640
Men are builders.

604
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.640
They're architects.

605
00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:58.640
They're strategists.

606
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.280
Yeah, there's a few women in those fields that, you know, are project engineers and

607
00:34:02.280 --> 00:34:03.280
stuff.

608
00:34:03.280 --> 00:34:04.280
And God bless those ladies.

609
00:34:04.280 --> 00:34:07.280
But 99.9% of them are men.

610
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:10.520
And not because we're not letting women into those fields, because that's not how women

611
00:34:10.520 --> 00:34:13.080
are bent.

612
00:34:13.080 --> 00:34:16.639
The masculine is bent to put things in order.

613
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.600
That is what Adam was doing in the garden.

614
00:34:18.600 --> 00:34:21.400
He was bringing order to God's creation.

615
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.340
This is what men do.

616
00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:28.239
And somehow we've got this toxic alpha male idea of what this is what men are.

617
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.880
No, y'all, that's not what men are.

618
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.080
That's not how they were created.

619
00:34:33.080 --> 00:34:40.159
They were created to be loved on and to love the father the same way as the woman in the

620
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.080
garden.

621
00:34:42.080 --> 00:34:43.600
These are our garden settings.

622
00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:47.880
You guys, we have to get back to garden settings.

623
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:51.560
But culture, especially American culture, has told men that this is how they have to

624
00:34:51.560 --> 00:34:52.560
be.

625
00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:57.040
And this is a lot of times how they were treated by their mother and their father, mostly their

626
00:34:57.040 --> 00:34:59.480
father, from the time that they were born.

627
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:00.080
And this is part of it.

628
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.800
the problem that we're seeing, okay? All right, we're going to get our Jesus Cares boards going

629
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:12.000
here. So if you are an overthinker, if you're someone who replays in your mind over and over

630
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:17.040
again all of the bad things that might happen as a result of whatever it is that's going on in your

631
00:35:17.040 --> 00:35:24.240
life, if you forecast worst case scenarios, if you try to control outcomes that are not yours

632
00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:30.640
to control because you really don't have any control, then this message is for you and it's

633
00:35:30.640 --> 00:35:36.560
for everyone else too. Because the Jesus Cares board is not just a cute idea, it's a spiritual

634
00:35:36.560 --> 00:35:42.240
strategy, you guys. I know that we say all the time, well, you know, I'm not going to worry about

635
00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:47.600
that. I gave it to God. But we might have given it to God, but then we picked it right back up

636
00:35:47.600 --> 00:35:54.960
20 minutes later. And so this is a visible representation of giving it to God. We're

637
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.600
going to make it visible. We're going to make it intentional. We're going to make it real.

638
00:35:59.600 --> 00:36:04.000
So here are the things that go on your Jesus Cares board. Anything that you're confused about,

639
00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:10.960
things you don't understand, decisions, you guys, I put decisions on my Jesus Cares board.

640
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.840
If I'm praying about whether I should do something or not, it goes up there. Things you don't

641
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.440
understand, decisions that you don't know how to make yet, you're unsure about making,

642
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:25.440
whether you should do this, whether you should do that. Situations where you need clarity,

643
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:29.920
clarity seems just out of reach, anything that's confusing, anything that needs clarifying.

644
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.760
Then the next kind of category in my mind that goes on there is anything you're concerned about.

645
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:40.560
So confused about, number one, concerned about, number two, all of your worries,

646
00:36:40.560 --> 00:36:45.440
all of your anxieties, all of your what if thoughts, things that keep you up at night,

647
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.320
things that you wouldn't even say out loud to someone else because you're like,

648
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:52.720
oh, I don't want anyone to know that I'm worried about this, or this sounds crazy in my head.

649
00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:57.360
You write that on a post-it or however you do your Jesus Cares board and you put it up there.

650
00:36:59.120 --> 00:37:03.120
The thing that you think about too much before you fall asleep, put it on there.

651
00:37:07.600 --> 00:37:13.120
Put it on there. Give it to God. You'd be amazed at what happens when you really,

652
00:37:13.200 --> 00:37:18.640
truly give things to God. In my experience, one of two things are going to happen. You're just

653
00:37:18.640 --> 00:37:24.400
going to have peace. It may not be resolved. You may not have the answer, but you no longer

654
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.520
are worried about it. You have peace about it because you know it's in the right hands.

655
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:34.000
It's not in your hands anymore. It's in the right hands. Or you're just going to get a

656
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:38.640
solution to it. Those are the two things that I've experienced. The other things that you put on your

657
00:37:38.640 --> 00:37:42.560
Jesus Cares board that you might not think about putting up there are the things that you desire,

658
00:37:42.560 --> 00:37:47.200
your dreams, the breakthrough that you need, the breakthrough that other people need. If you're

659
00:37:47.200 --> 00:37:51.040
praying about someone in your family, you love someone, well, that's really the next category.

660
00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:55.120
So desire things, dreams, breakthroughs, things you would love to see happen.

661
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:00.320
Make it your new vision board in a way. Prayers that you're believing for,

662
00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:07.120
can slap your husband or wife up there on your Cares board. And then the next thing that I would

663
00:38:07.120 --> 00:38:12.880
say would be its own category would be people. People that you're praying for, friends, family,

664
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:20.560
prodigals. You got a prodigal kid? Put them up there. Anyone that you feel responsible for helping,

665
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:28.160
fixing, leading, and they're doing something they shouldn't be doing, put them up there. Maybe they

666
00:38:28.160 --> 00:38:34.320
have a sickness or something going on with them. Maybe they're having some sort of financial

667
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:41.120
crisis or whatever. Put them up there. Any area that needs transformation, you guys, your health,

668
00:38:41.120 --> 00:38:48.000
your finances, your relationships. If you need some specific type of healing in your body or

669
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:54.000
in your emotions, you can also put like habits that you want to break. You can put that up there.

670
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:00.880
You got a bad habit about something? Put it up there. Put it up there, you guys.

671
00:39:01.680 --> 00:39:04.480
All right. I want you to put in the chat one thing that you know

672
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.960
absolutely needs to go on your Jesus Cares board immediately.

673
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:14.720
In the chat. Be honest. We're all here to be honest.

674
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:35.840
Guys, you know what I was just reminded of? Someone put in the chat injustice towards me.

675
00:39:36.640 --> 00:39:40.320
I'm going to speak to you, whoever put that in there. Now, listen. I had a student,

676
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:48.960
and this was back before I started this specific group for singles. I had a group called The Good

677
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:54.880
Life, and it was a six-month life coaching mentorship where I was your coach. There were

678
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:57.280
a handful of people in that. This has been years ago.

679
00:39:58.160 --> 00:40:01.760
There are a number of people out there in the world today who do not

680
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.400
now. And this woman came in to my Good Life Mentoring Program. And the Good Life was obviously

681
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.280
appreciate things that they do have this right to say about things that they do not

682
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:17.440
based on John 1010. And she had more problems than a math book. This woman, she was not Caribbean,

683
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:12.960
enjoy being out the photo with other people, or about other things that you do,

684
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:17.920
I continue to encourage you guys to not get over-motivated by it.

685
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:22.880
I think she was Bahamian or Jamaican, one or the other, one of those two, one of those two.

686
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:20.960
Don't get over-motivated by something that you don't reported on,

687
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:23.840
or it feels fastidious to cope with so many people.

688
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.400
I encourage you guys to do that in your toolbox and

689
00:40:24.080 --> 00:40:29.680
And she had this really estranged relationship with her mother and sisters. She always felt

690
00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:34.400
like she was the black sheep of the family. She only had sisters. Her mother treated her poorly,

691
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:40.320
talked down to her. Her sisters, you know, there was a favorite, she wasn't the favorite kind of

692
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:45.600
thing. And, you know, she really, she had, she got into midlife. She's 50 years in her 50s. She

693
00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:50.240
had never been married. She didn't have any children of her own. And, you know, she was

694
00:40:50.240 --> 00:40:57.200
coming to this life coaching program of mine because she, she needed help. She heard me speak

695
00:40:57.200 --> 00:41:04.160
somewhere and she needed help. She was renting an apartment from a landlord who was harassing her.

696
00:41:04.160 --> 00:41:08.080
So everywhere she looked, you guys, she was being harassed. She's being harassed by her mother,

697
00:41:08.080 --> 00:41:12.960
by her sisters. She's being harassed by this landlord that was bullying her. And if I'm being

698
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:17.760
honest, part of the problem was, is that she didn't speak up for herself. There was a lot

699
00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:23.280
of injustice that was happening to her, but she also didn't speak up for herself. She also had,

700
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:30.400
at the very same time, a situation at work where she was being, other people were giving her their

701
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.520
work to do and different things were happening, you guys. And so I began to coach her. I began

702
00:41:35.520 --> 00:41:40.240
to point out things. I began to talk to her about boundaries, began to do some heart work.

703
00:41:40.240 --> 00:41:45.360
Okay. Heart work was the main thing that we did in that group as well, because heart work

704
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.080
works and that's what you got to do. And so when I started seeing her shift, I started seeing her

705
00:41:50.080 --> 00:41:55.440
getting a little bit of a backbone, speaking up for herself, saying no. Some things started

706
00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:00.560
happening that were good. And the landlord's situation was very unjust when she explained

707
00:42:00.560 --> 00:42:05.520
it to me, what was happening as far as she was paying rent. And it was cold, you guys. It was

708
00:42:05.520 --> 00:42:10.240
wintertime and she had a radiator in this apartment, like a radiator heater, and it was broken and he

709
00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:16.240
wasn't fixing it. And so we prayed over that situation and the Jesus Cares Board already

710
00:42:16.240 --> 00:42:21.680
existed. That is not something that's just about this and just for single people. It exists for

711
00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:26.720
everyone. And I already had learned that from the Lord. And so I was already teaching that to other

712
00:42:26.720 --> 00:42:35.680
people back then. And long story short, one day we were having a one-on-one and I just really felt

713
00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:40.960
the Lord give me a word of knowledge about what was going to happen. And the Lord told me that

714
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:46.400
she was going to, within the year, she was going to be able to move out of that place

715
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:50.560
because she couldn't afford to live anywhere else. She was going to move out of that place

716
00:42:50.560 --> 00:42:57.760
and she was going to move into her own place. Oh, now that I'm remembering, she actually had a

717
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:03.360
roommate too, to make it even worse. Okay. And she was having issues with this roommate. Well,

718
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:09.200
the common denominator in all these situations was her, right? And obviously there was definitely

719
00:43:09.200 --> 00:43:12.880
some kind of demonic harassment that was happening as well through all of these different

720
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:17.600
situations. Bottom line, I got the word. I released it over her. She said, I don't know

721
00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:22.160
how it would ever move. I don't have any money. Within a year, you guys, she was moved.

722
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:28.720
She had her own place. She had this amazing opportunity open up. She actually ended up

723
00:43:28.720 --> 00:43:34.320
getting a different job. And then a few months later, maybe six months later, she joined my

724
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:39.600
last year single prom. She joined Married in 12 Months or Less because I had opened it by then.

725
00:43:40.560 --> 00:43:44.800
She joined Married in 12 Months or Less. And now, even though she was in her fifties, single,

726
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:50.560
had never been married, no children. She is happily married. She has her own home. She has her own

727
00:43:50.560 --> 00:43:56.400
husband. He has kids. So now she has kids. She has a whole nother family because her family was,

728
00:43:56.400 --> 00:44:02.080
you know, trash, treating her like trash. All right, you guys, just how powerful

729
00:44:05.120 --> 00:44:09.040
and don't think that you can't have a life transformation like that because you can.

730
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:19.440
You can. When I met her, she was a mousy little woman, seriously.

731
00:44:22.240 --> 00:44:28.480
And now she's bold. I'm telling you, I ran into her at a conference not that long ago. I'm like,

732
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:33.600
you're not even the same person. I don't even know who you are, but it's good. And I like it.

733
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:36.160
I like it.

734
00:44:39.200 --> 00:44:41.680
So it's time, you guys. We're not suffering. We're celebrating.

735
00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:46.880
And I realized, listen, I know some of you are addicted to figuring it out. Trust me,

736
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:53.200
I am too. I'm a little detective. I'm a little detective, okay? I got you. But you're addicted

737
00:44:53.200 --> 00:44:58.640
to figuring it out. Some of us are addicted to monitoring it. You just keep, you keep watching

738
00:44:58.640 --> 00:44:59.600
it, seeing.

739
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.920
Keep one eye on it, one eye on it, one eye on the situation,

740
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.800
just monitoring, monitoring, monitoring, no.

741
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:08.160
Rechecking it, no.

742
00:45:08.160 --> 00:45:10.460
Emotionally revisiting it, nah.

743
00:45:12.520 --> 00:45:14.280
And we might even think that's responsible.

744
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.080
Like, yeah, I gotta keep my eye on this thing.

745
00:45:16.080 --> 00:45:17.280
This thing could get out of hand.

746
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.460
This thing could really take me out, no.

747
00:45:20.560 --> 00:45:23.080
God calls that not trusting him.

748
00:45:23.080 --> 00:45:25.180
Guys, that's where the torment comes from.

749
00:45:25.180 --> 00:45:27.960
Trying to control what only God can handle.

750
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.220
Carrying on your back what's meant to be cast on him.

751
00:45:31.220 --> 00:45:32.060
The reason why he said,

752
00:45:32.060 --> 00:45:33.600
cast your cares on me because I care for you

753
00:45:33.600 --> 00:45:35.240
is because it's too heavy for you.

754
00:45:35.240 --> 00:45:37.200
And so listen, here's your new litmus test.

755
00:45:37.200 --> 00:45:39.120
If it's too heavy for you to carry,

756
00:45:39.120 --> 00:45:40.560
then it's not yours to carry.

757
00:45:43.160 --> 00:45:44.600
And here's another thing that I'm really,

758
00:45:44.600 --> 00:45:45.640
you guys, I have a gift,

759
00:45:45.640 --> 00:45:48.600
because I'm prophetic, to see the future,

760
00:45:48.600 --> 00:45:50.660
but I'm not meant to live in the future.

761
00:45:50.660 --> 00:45:52.240
I'm meant to live in the present.

762
00:45:52.240 --> 00:45:54.020
And have you ever noticed that all the bad things

763
00:45:54.020 --> 00:45:55.680
that you're worried about happening are in the future,

764
00:45:55.680 --> 00:45:56.520
not the present?

765
00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:00.280
You gotta stay in the present, stay out of the future.

766
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.440
Yes, you can see the future, you can write it down.

767
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:04.640
Maybe you're prophetic too, a lot of you are,

768
00:46:04.640 --> 00:46:06.000
and you can write that stuff down,

769
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.660
but don't live in the future, live in the present.

770
00:46:08.660 --> 00:46:10.820
It is a gift, get it, present.

771
00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:12.300
Live in the present.

772
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.040
Live in the present.

773
00:46:17.040 --> 00:46:19.160
If anything bad's happening in the present, you guys,

774
00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:21.340
like my back issue or whatever issue you're going on,

775
00:46:21.340 --> 00:46:22.600
well, once again, you're putting it

776
00:46:22.600 --> 00:46:23.900
on your Jesus cares board.

777
00:46:24.900 --> 00:46:27.300
Because you already know that you can't fix it.

778
00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:32.740
I know it's really hard for us to understand,

779
00:46:32.740 --> 00:46:35.020
and trust me, for me, it's probably,

780
00:46:35.020 --> 00:46:37.860
it's just as hard as you, maybe even harder than you,

781
00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:42.860
because this is my, this has been how I've been all my life.

782
00:46:43.220 --> 00:46:45.120
But we really are meant to live free.

783
00:46:46.500 --> 00:46:48.400
Who the son has set free is free.

784
00:46:49.900 --> 00:46:51.520
We are meant to live light.

785
00:46:54.260 --> 00:46:56.460
We are meant to live at peace, you guys.

786
00:46:58.500 --> 00:46:59.340
We are.

787
00:47:02.500 --> 00:47:03.740
That's why the scripture says that they

788
00:47:03.740 --> 00:47:05.780
that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.

789
00:47:05.780 --> 00:47:08.720
The word wait there means to expectantly prepare.

790
00:47:12.580 --> 00:47:14.620
Expectantly prepare, for what?

791
00:47:16.860 --> 00:47:20.620
For the fruition of what God has promised.

792
00:47:20.620 --> 00:47:23.720
For God to take care of it, for God to deliver you.

793
00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:28.000
That's where your strength comes from.

794
00:47:30.500 --> 00:47:34.620
The joy of the Lord, the joy of knowing

795
00:47:34.620 --> 00:47:37.440
that you have a father that loves you.

796
00:47:39.120 --> 00:47:41.100
Not because life is perfect, because it's not,

797
00:47:41.100 --> 00:47:43.000
but because you know who's holding it.

798
00:47:43.860 --> 00:47:45.600
Remember that old hymn,

799
00:47:45.600 --> 00:47:48.360
because he lives, I can face tomorrow.

800
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:52.260
Because I know who holds the future,

801
00:47:53.140 --> 00:47:56.060
and life is worth the living just because he lives.

802
00:47:56.060 --> 00:47:57.020
You guys remember that song?

803
00:47:57.020 --> 00:47:58.220
Who remembers that song?

804
00:47:59.220 --> 00:48:00.800
My nanny used to sing that.

805
00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:10.140
So friends, let's start using our Jesus Cares Board.

806
00:48:10.140 --> 00:48:10.980
And when it's on there,

807
00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:12.820
we don't have to keep checking on it.

808
00:48:15.980 --> 00:48:17.420
You know, if you're like me, you're like,

809
00:48:17.420 --> 00:48:19.400
hey God, can I get the tracking number on that?

810
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.700
Can I get the tracking number?

811
00:48:21.700 --> 00:48:22.540
Can I?

812
00:48:23.900 --> 00:48:24.780
Can I know?

813
00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:26.980
Can I know when that's gonna get delivered?

814
00:48:30.180 --> 00:48:31.500
No.

815
00:48:31.500 --> 00:48:32.420
All right, so you guys,

816
00:48:32.420 --> 00:48:35.200
Jesus Cares Board Practical Activation.

817
00:48:35.200 --> 00:48:36.220
Write it down.

818
00:48:36.220 --> 00:48:37.940
I gave you the categories.

819
00:48:37.940 --> 00:48:39.180
If you need them again,

820
00:48:40.300 --> 00:48:42.500
a lot of them began with the letter C.

821
00:48:42.500 --> 00:48:44.900
Confusing, concerning.

822
00:48:44.900 --> 00:48:46.580
Those were two of them for sure.

823
00:48:49.620 --> 00:48:51.260
The desires of your heart.

824
00:48:51.620 --> 00:48:54.180
Breakthroughs, promises, things you're believing for.

825
00:48:54.180 --> 00:48:56.100
People is a big category.

826
00:48:57.160 --> 00:48:59.300
Areas of transformation that you need.

827
00:48:59.300 --> 00:49:00.620
Any and all things.

828
00:49:00.620 --> 00:49:01.460
Put it down.

829
00:49:07.540 --> 00:49:09.700
And then we're gonna exchange, right?

830
00:49:09.700 --> 00:49:11.540
We're like, hey Jesus, this is now under your care.

831
00:49:11.540 --> 00:49:12.440
Not mine.

832
00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:15.500
Yours.

833
00:49:15.500 --> 00:49:18.000
And you guys, I keep my Jesus Cares Board very visible

834
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.540
so that when I walk by it,

835
00:49:19.540 --> 00:49:22.460
I remember that that stuff doesn't belong to me anymore.

836
00:49:22.460 --> 00:49:24.060
Now it belongs to Jesus.

837
00:49:27.420 --> 00:49:28.260
Okay?

838
00:49:28.260 --> 00:49:30.300
And as soon as I find myself worried about it,

839
00:49:30.300 --> 00:49:31.440
I remind myself,

840
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.380
go stand in front of the Cares Board and remind myself

841
00:49:34.380 --> 00:49:37.580
that I can live light, free, at peace, expectant

842
00:49:37.580 --> 00:49:40.280
because I've given it to him.

843
00:49:41.460 --> 00:49:43.300
And so you guys, you can do this however you want.

844
00:49:43.300 --> 00:49:44.820
Get a board like me.

845
00:49:44.820 --> 00:49:46.180
Get Post-its, whatever.

846
00:49:46.180 --> 00:49:48.220
A notebook, notes app, doesn't matter.

847
00:49:49.620 --> 00:49:51.660
All that matters is you get it out of your mind

848
00:49:51.660 --> 00:49:53.900
and onto paper.

849
00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:57.460
And then you just say, Jesus,

850
00:49:57.460 --> 00:49:59.460
hey, I'm releasing this into your care.

851
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.880
And when the thought comes back in your head to worry about it, you're like, nope, that's

852
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:06.340
in the care of Jesus.

853
00:50:06.340 --> 00:50:10.780
And trust me, you guys, if God needs your help on solving any of those problems, he

854
00:50:10.780 --> 00:50:17.180
will let you know.

855
00:50:17.180 --> 00:50:18.500
He will let you know.

856
00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:22.380
Remember our old word that we're still operating on for the whole year, the siege is over,

857
00:50:22.380 --> 00:50:23.420
the siege is over, y'all.

858
00:50:23.420 --> 00:50:25.860
We're not going to live like this anymore.

859
00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:28.060
No more living in suffering.

860
00:50:28.060 --> 00:50:32.380
We are going to live celebrating.

861
00:50:32.380 --> 00:50:33.940
Amen?

862
00:50:33.940 --> 00:50:35.340
Amen.

863
00:50:35.340 --> 00:50:41.900
Okay, so you write it down, you release it out loud, and then you just stop picking it

864
00:50:41.900 --> 00:50:45.660
back up.

865
00:50:45.660 --> 00:50:50.060
And then you get to use all of that mental bandwidth that you're using to worry to think

866
00:50:50.060 --> 00:50:51.060
about something else.

867
00:50:51.060 --> 00:50:52.460
How about dreams?

868
00:50:52.460 --> 00:50:55.460
How about dreaming a little bit?

869
00:50:56.460 --> 00:51:03.740
Guys, I was really scared the other day when I sat down and I realized that I was having

870
00:51:03.740 --> 00:51:08.580
a hard time picturing the future.

871
00:51:08.580 --> 00:51:12.860
Like I was having a hard time, how do I explain this?

872
00:51:12.860 --> 00:51:17.340
I realized that I have a really vivid imagination, and a lot of you do as well.

873
00:51:17.340 --> 00:51:22.740
I had a hard time imagining something amazing and cool happening, but I had a very easy

874
00:51:22.740 --> 00:51:26.380
time imagining something bad happening.

875
00:51:26.380 --> 00:51:29.200
And I was like, what the heck's wrong with me?

876
00:51:29.200 --> 00:51:34.460
And I realized that I had just really been so stressed out and so bogged down that my

877
00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:38.420
mind was kind of set on the negative, and it was really easy for me to imagine everything

878
00:51:38.420 --> 00:51:39.420
going wrong.

879
00:51:39.420 --> 00:51:44.900
It was really easy for me to imagine worst case scenarios and bad things, like vividly

880
00:51:44.900 --> 00:51:47.860
imagine those things as if I'm there.

881
00:51:47.860 --> 00:51:51.340
But it was not easy for me to imagine the dreams of my heart coming true.

882
00:51:51.340 --> 00:51:55.820
It wasn't easy for me imagining the same situation going the opposite direction, going

883
00:51:55.820 --> 00:52:02.460
a good direction, going a healthy direction.

884
00:52:02.460 --> 00:52:06.940
It was easy for me to imagine losing, but it wasn't easy for me to imagine winning.

885
00:52:06.940 --> 00:52:08.940
Anybody else?

886
00:52:08.940 --> 00:52:10.940
Okay.

887
00:52:10.940 --> 00:52:17.080
All right, you guys, it's time.

888
00:52:17.080 --> 00:52:20.380
We're not going to continue to suffer.

889
00:52:20.420 --> 00:52:22.020
We're not going to continue to torment.

890
00:52:22.020 --> 00:52:26.860
At some point, we're just tormenting ourselves, replaying, rechecking, trying to figure it

891
00:52:26.860 --> 00:52:27.860
out.

892
00:52:27.860 --> 00:52:29.460
I know it feels productive, but it's not.

893
00:52:29.460 --> 00:52:30.820
It's just exhausting.

894
00:52:30.820 --> 00:52:34.420
Remember, if you could change it, you would, and you can't change it.

895
00:52:34.420 --> 00:52:36.460
So why are we going to worry about it?

896
00:52:36.460 --> 00:52:41.580
Talking to myself.

897
00:52:41.580 --> 00:52:43.580
The siege is over, friends.

898
00:52:43.580 --> 00:52:45.780
That's our word for the entire year.

899
00:52:45.780 --> 00:52:50.100
So if you're stuck in mental loops, same thoughts, same fears, same internal conversations, it's

900
00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:53.020
time to put those on your Post-its and put them up.

901
00:52:53.020 --> 00:52:59.380
We're stepping out of that cycle, out of torment, out of mental exhaustion, overthinking, and

902
00:52:59.380 --> 00:53:03.220
we're going to step into peace and trust and freedom.

903
00:53:03.220 --> 00:53:04.780
Amen?

904
00:53:04.780 --> 00:53:10.220
Okay, let's see some stuff.

905
00:53:10.220 --> 00:53:13.740
Some of y'all just super negative, even in the comments.

906
00:53:13.740 --> 00:53:15.620
Y'all really need this message.

907
00:53:15.620 --> 00:53:16.620
I love you.

908
00:53:16.620 --> 00:53:17.740
I've been there with you.

909
00:53:17.740 --> 00:53:18.820
I'm not judging you.

910
00:53:18.820 --> 00:53:27.860
I'm just telling you, you're like being a contrarian to the wrong situation.

911
00:53:27.860 --> 00:53:29.340
This is a word of encouragement.

912
00:53:29.340 --> 00:53:30.420
God's trying to encourage us.

913
00:53:30.420 --> 00:53:40.860
He's also trying to get us to shift our behavior and people up in the comments just still commiserating

914
00:53:40.860 --> 00:53:42.380
and commiserating with each other.

915
00:53:42.380 --> 00:53:43.620
Yeah, me too.

916
00:53:43.620 --> 00:53:46.540
Life is so bad and terrible.

917
00:53:46.780 --> 00:53:54.380
I promise you that if everyone in the world, listen up for those of you that are just fighting

918
00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:57.960
this message because I love you and I'm pulling for you.

919
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:04.500
If everyone in the whole entire world put their problem on a piece of paper and put

920
00:54:04.500 --> 00:54:14.020
it in a big giant bowl and then all of us were invited to come and just pick a problem

921
00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:16.020
out and that's going to be your new problem.

922
00:54:16.020 --> 00:54:21.100
If everyone in the world has put their problem in this bowl and all of us are invited to

923
00:54:21.100 --> 00:54:25.060
blindly come and reach in, you don't got your problems anymore.

924
00:54:25.060 --> 00:54:27.220
You're going to get the problems of whatever you pull out of there.

925
00:54:27.220 --> 00:54:30.360
I guarantee you that none of you would participate.

926
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:36.380
You would keep your own problem because there are some problems in this world that are way,

927
00:54:36.380 --> 00:54:44.940
way, way, way worse than ours and we would not want to randomly choose a problem from

928
00:54:44.940 --> 00:54:45.940
that bowl.

929
00:54:45.940 --> 00:54:46.940
Amen?

930
00:54:46.940 --> 00:54:47.940
Am I wrong?

931
00:54:47.940 --> 00:54:55.860
And some of you are going through some very serious things and I'm not downplaying that.

932
00:54:55.860 --> 00:54:59.220
I'm not and we love you and we're with you.

933
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.520
We have a lady in our community that was just diagnosed with leukemia.

934
00:55:03.520 --> 00:55:07.040
She tried to leave the program because she couldn't afford it anymore. And I said,

935
00:55:07.040 --> 00:55:13.840
Oh no, honey, you're now here for free for life because you need us more than ever.

936
00:55:14.560 --> 00:55:17.840
And we will support you and we will surround you and we will be with you.

937
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:24.000
And so father, right now we pray for her God. And we declare like so many of her brothers

938
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:28.640
and sisters in this program before her, that she will be healed in Jesus name.

939
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:37.280
She will be healed fully, completely by her next doctor's appointment. They will see no trace

940
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:43.280
of any disease in her blood in the name of Jesus. We declare it in Jesus name.

941
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:50.160
And so Laura, we thank you for it. Friends, God is for us. He's not against us. That means life

942
00:55:50.160 --> 00:55:54.560
is for us. It's not against us. So Jesus, we give you everything that we've been carrying right now,

943
00:55:54.560 --> 00:55:58.640
each and every one of us, the things we don't understand, the things we're worried about

944
00:55:58.640 --> 00:56:04.480
constantly, the things we fear. God, we also just give you the people that we love, the things that

945
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:10.880
we can't fix, the outcomes that we're trying to control, but we can't. We cast it on you.

946
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:18.960
We release it into your care because you care for us. Teach us, show us, heal us, grow us.

947
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:25.520
We need your help. We need you to show us how to live as if we are truly and fully loved

948
00:56:25.520 --> 00:56:32.000
and truly cared for. We're not used to this. It's not been our experience in our human life

949
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:37.840
with our human people. And so, Laura, we need you to show us even this week, show each and every

950
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:42.080
person here and everyone who's watching and listening on replay that they are truly cared

951
00:56:42.080 --> 00:56:48.400
for, that they're truly loved. Show them evidence, evidence as they release things into your care.

952
00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:54.240
Let there be speedy resolution on some of those things. Let some of those things get resolved

953
00:56:54.240 --> 00:57:00.480
quickly. Let supernatural provision come. Let supernatural peace come. Let stuff happen

954
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:08.560
that is undeniable that you are with us and that you're helping us and that we don't have to suffer

955
00:57:08.560 --> 00:57:15.040
that we can celebrate. We choose peace today. We choose celebration today. We want to trust you,

956
00:57:15.040 --> 00:57:22.320
Lord. We want to believe. Help our unbelief in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, y'all. I love you

957
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:26.720
so much. Post your Jesus Cares boards in the group. We want to see them. See you soon.
