All right, so welcome to our Supernatural Hope Session,
and it is going to be supernatural.
It's gonna be supernatural,
that's why we took so much time
making sure that you guys are prepared.
And I think that Holy Spirit has a little message for us.
It's really not about what God has to offer us
or what he's even inviting us to,
it's about preparation,
it's about, are we ready to receive it?
Amen?
In so many areas of life, that's gonna be the case.
It's not about what God is inviting you to,
heaven always has an invitation for you.
Heaven always has an invitation for me.
A lot of times we're not ready to receive that invitation,
and because we're not ready to receive it,
we can't even see it.
We're not prepared.
And there are lots of stories in the Bible
about lack of preparation.
I will tell you,
and maybe this is already happening to you,
I was gonna tell you guys to go ahead
and put your hands down.
I went ahead and lowered all of them for y'all.
Some of you are gonna start having dreams
that you're not ready.
You're like someplace and you're supposed to be ready,
maybe it's even your wedding.
You've shown up someplace and you're just not ready
and you just can't get it together.
You just can't get it together.
Some of you are gonna start having dreams like that.
You don't know where your shoes are.
You don't know what to do.
You don't know where this is or that is.
You don't know what's going on.
Anyone?
Raise your hand if you've started having dreams like that
where you just can't get there for some reason.
That's God talking to us about preparation.
He's talking to us about readiness.
I've been behind people in line, long lines, you guys,
long, long, long lines.
Whether it's at the DMV,
whether it's in line to go in someplace,
whether it's at the TSA line to go through security.
And there's always someone in line that's,
they're waiting but they're not preparing.
And when it's their turn, they're not ready.
They're dropping things, they're fumbling around.
They don't know where their ID is.
They have no idea.
They don't even know what they need
in order to get through whatever kind of security
or whatever line it kind of is.
They're just not ready to go.
They don't have their ticket.
They were the first person to line up to get on the plane
when their group was called.
But they haven't consolidated their bags.
They have three bags instead of two.
You know you're not allowed to have more than two.
They announce it over the stinking loudspeaker
like five times.
It's against federal regulations
to have more than two bags on the flight.
So please consolidate them right now.
And if you have to check your bag,
please see us at the counter, right?
They tell you, but they're not paying attention.
All they can think about is whatever it is
that they wanna do.
And they're not preparing, they're just waiting.
They're just waiting.
They're waiting.
They wanna go.
And God doesn't want us to be like that.
He wants us to be ready.
How bad would it be to be in a race car race
and you don't have any gas in the tank?
You're gonna have to go into the pit on the first lap.
Everyone else is prepared.
They're gonna go around lots of times
before they have to go in and get fueled up, right?
You gotta have what you need and you gotta be prepared.
Okay, so I say all that to say this.
I really want you guys to take this time
in your life seriously.
This is not just something like
you just have to get through it
so you can get to phase three
so that you can get dating and meet your guy
and all the stuff.
It's about being ready for that moment.
I have a student right now who met her husband during COVID.
You guys, that's when I launched this.
I launched this during COVID if you didn't catch that.
That's when it was launched.
She met her husband during COVID.
And when I tell you that we were all team Cody,
we were all team Cody.
All of us saw it a mile away that he was the one.
He was so kind.
He was so caring.
She actually got COVID and he used to leave.
Little gifts outside on her porch for her and bring her all kinds of things to do.
Cause she had a badge.
She was like sick for two weeks.
He would bring her soup and he would bring her like magazines to read
and different things, care packages, all the stuff y'all right.
And everyone was like, go Cody, go Cody.
Cause we're like, he's the one he's so great.
She wasn't team Cody.
And the reason why she wasn't team Cody is because she wasn't prepared
to receive that kind of love.
She wasn't ready to receive that type of love.
She hadn't done her heart work.
She was messing around doing other things and she had not really
fully gotten prepared in that way.
And so when love showed up, you know, she thought that's all she wanted,
but when it showed up, she wasn't ready to receive it and she broke up with him.
I got good news for all of you.
Two years later, she resurfaced in my DMS and she said, Hey, guess what?
I got back together with Cody and we're going to get married.
I'm like, well, girl, it didn't have to take two years, but guess what?
God will wait you out.
If that's what you want to do.
Who doesn't want to do that?
Who wants to go ahead and get the horse before the cart right now,
wants to go ahead and get ready.
Be incident in season for all you church girls who wants that you're ready.
You're ready.
You got it.
All right.
So we want that.
So please take this seriously.
Check your featured section.
Check that admin chat that I just told you about.
This is community updates because in that I'm going to be talking about
admin chat that I just told you about.
This is community updates because in that I'm going to, I are one of the
admins will tell you, Hey, you know, Monday it's always Monday, y'all 1
PM Eastern or 8 PM Eastern, but we'll tell you what you need in order
to be prepared for that session.
You're not always going to need to have a worksheet done,
but sometimes you are.
Okay.
All right, go ahead and put your scores up in the chat.
Let's see your scores from your hope scale, your total score.
By the way, no one has ever scored perfectly on this.
So if you score perfectly, I'm going to call bullshit on you.
Okay.
Excuse my language.
I'm so sorry.
I feel like every once in a while I throw in a cuss word.
So people don't think I'm their pastor.
I ain't your pastor.
Um, but I am an anointed coach.
That's going to help you to get success in this area of your life.
All right.
Look at all that.
Okay.
I'm going to share my screen so we can look at that hope scale together.
Okay.
Right. Go ahead and put a thumbs up.
If you can see that.
Can you guys see it?
Is it, is it big?
Tell me in the chat.
Is it big?
Is it.
Okay.
It's small trying to figure out.
Okay. As long as it's readable, that's fine.
It's when I go over it really quick.
All right.
So any areas that's not glistening with hope that phrase comes from my friend,
Steve Backlund is an area where we're believing a lie.
All right.
It's areas where we're wounded areas that we need healing areas that we
need truth applied to the lies.
That's what the heart works all about.
Um, and so you guys.
Some of the, some of the answers on this might just be circumstantial.
You're really going through something in that area, and that's just
how you're feeling right now.
And some of it's chronic.
All right.
We're not going to even get into talking about that tonight, because
this is a night of super natural hope.
All right.
So love life and marriage, and this is not an exhaustive list.
You have other areas in your life besides these areas, but these are the ones
that are really important for tonight.
Okay.
Love life, marriage, health finances, bio family relationships.
That's your biological family, your origin, family, friendships, job, career,
purpose, your purpose, your, the plan God had for your life.
life, the dream he had when he wrapped her body around it and put you in your
mother's womb, your spiritual life, your relationship with God,
your relationship to the spiritual, all right,
your self image and parenthood. And once again, this isn't about the kid you have.
It's about how do you feel about parenthood?
How do you feel kind of hoped you have that you're going to be a parent?
What's your, you know, what is your hope around this area of your life? Okay.
All right. So, and then the categories are one hopeless,
it sucks. It can, or it won't ever change. Then two,
you got a shred of hope. It might improve,
but you're not going to hold your breath. Three is you're hopeful.
It has a pulse. You're cautiously optimistic for you're full of hope.
It's going amazing. It's successful and abundant. Okay. Once again,
we've never had a perfect score on this ever.
40 points would be your glistening with hope. You're full of hope.
Everything is going, you know, you believe that life is for you.
Anything that's not going well right now is going to turn around.
It's going to be better than ever before. Your life is glistening with hope.
30 to 39 points is you're pretty much believe that there are better days ahead
than any that you're leaving behind,
but you have a few battle scars that flare up from time to time.
So you got some triggers there that need more healing 20 to 29.
This is where most people live right here. Life hasn't been easy.
You are afraid to get your hopes up that anything is going to change because
you're tired of being disappointed. You're just tired of being disappointed.
Okay. You're hanging on, but a lot of times just barely.
And then one to 20 points, you see the light at the end of the tunnel,
but it's definitely a train you're in danger of dying from your heart wounds.
And you guys not necessarily naturally, okay. Physically dying,
but just emotionally, mentally, spiritually,
and you need a hope infusion right away. All right.
Thanks for bearing with me. All right.
So we had to go over that together as a group,
because it's important that we kind of look at, um,
where we are and maybe where we want to be.
And a lot of us, you know,
maybe afraid to admit because we think it's not speaking life.
And I did the supernatural Saturday on speaking life. And I said, you know,
that's not just painting a different reality. You know,
you're allowed to paint a different reality.
I've believed and it hasn't happened.
And for all of you that go to church in the revival streams,
you go to prophetic charismatic churches that can get exhausting.
Let's just be honest. Every service is like, God's gonna, he's about to,
right. And it's like, God's saying this, you know, jump through this hoop,
or do this or sit down or rest or jump up, you know, do a jumping jack.
And you're going to be able to do it.
And it's just like, Hmm, man.
And it's okay to admit that it is. It's all right to admit that.
I personally think that, you know,
spiritual community should be made up of a lot of different components.
It can't just be one prophetic service after another, after another,
and it's not just, you know,
it's not just one prophetic service after another.
It's not just one prophetic service after another.
It's not just one prophetic service after another,
after another, after another, because that can get very exhausting.
Very, very exhausting.
Especially if you're not spiritually mature enough to understand that just
because they're saying it.
And just because it's anointed does not mean that it's for you.
That's why if you scroll through the internet,
just looking for some hype preacher to hype you up, you know,
or looking to try to get a word from the Lord about why things are going wrong
and what God wants you to do. You can be zigging instead of zagging.
You're going left instead of right. You're up instead of down.
You're all over the place because of what reason,
because just because it's anointed and just because it's actually from the word
and maybe it's an even like a really respected and honored, you know,
minister of some sort doesn't mean it's for you. Just,
I want you to say this. I want you to put your hand over your heart.
And I want you to say, just because it's true, don't mean it's for you.
We got to know our times and seasons, friends, just because it's true,
doesn't mean it's for you.
And that's going to help with some of the exhaustion because a lot of you do not
need another word from the Lord. You do not need another word.
What you need is you need practical application on how to walk out the
ones you already have, how to manifest them,
how to birth them. That's what you need.
You don't need another one.
You don't even need a confirmation of the ones you have.
What you need is you need practical application of what it looks like to be in
that process and how to reap that harvest.
That is what you need. And I'm going to give you a little bit more time to do that.
That is what you're going to get in this community because that's what I believe
I'm going to give you a little bit more time to do that.
in. I believe that God, no, he never meant, he meant for the fivefold giftings
to edify and encourage and exhort the saints to perfect them, right?
It's that's what it's for.
It's for the perfection of the, of the saints, but he did not mean it to tire
them out and to exhaust them.
That is not what God meant.
But that being said, the word of God does tell us that the prophetic words that he
gives to us, that they do try us.
They do refine us.
They do change us.
They do mold us.
They do shape us as we're in process of their completion.
But if someone was pregnant, y'all, I want you to think about this, this straight
from Holy spirit, I want you to listen up.
If you had a friend that announced her pregnancy and they were full of hope and
excitement about what they were carrying.
And then two years later, they still had that baby.
You'd be like, Oh no, something's that baby's not alive.
Because there is a timeline to a promise of God.
And some of you have been sitting on words from the Lord for 20 years.
And the reason why is because no one taught you how to actually manifest that
thing because God has his part to play.
And that's undeniable.
He is source and we are not him and we cannot, you know, we cannot force him and
all the things, but I want to submit to you that when God invites you, because a
word from the Lord is an invitation.
Word from the Lord is an invitation.
When God invites you into something and tells you that you can have it, he means
for you to go ahead and take imperfect action towards that thing, not go sit in
a waiting room, waiting for it to come.
He means for you to start taking imperfect action.
That is what he means for you to do, because he already told you, you could
have it, that was the invitation.
That was the promise.
The promise was you can have it.
And so now we have to start moving towards that, right?
With the right information.
God does not want us to sit around for 20 years saying, God told me that I had a
husband.
Okay.
So we have to take that imperfect action and you're doing that.
And that's why you're here.
So I want to dive into supernatural hope father.
I just pray right now that you would release your super natural hope.
Over your daughters tonight, that they would be in dude with power from on high
tonight, they would be infused with strength from your spirit tonight to bring
forth the promises that have been gestating in their hearts.
Your word tells us in Isaiah 66, that you will bring the children to the birth and
you will give us strength.
To birth them to push forth.
And so, Lord, we declare that tonight and that supernatural hope that is, that is
your strength, Lord.
And so we thank you.
They that wait upon you that expectantly prepare.
We'll renew their strength.
And so, Lord, we thank you that you will infuse us with that strength tonight so
that we can birth out these miracles in Jesus name.
Amen.
All right.
So we're going to do some supernatural teaching right now on the area of hope.
So you guys looked at the hope scale.
You saw hopeless shred of hope.
Three is hopeful and four is full of hope.
Okay.
And I want to, I want to give us some new definitions for that right now.
You saw what the definitions on the worksheet are, but I'm going
to give you some new ones.
Okay.
So for living at that level for, and this is where God wants all of us to live by
faith, full of hope, why overflowing with anticipation and expectancy life is for
you, God is with you.
Your bags are packed.
They're at the door.
You're ready to go.
In my early discipleship, God told me to pack a bag and leave it at the door.
I'm like, where am I going?
He's like, you don't need to know.
I said, what do I need to pack?
He's like, pack a little bit of everything.
All right, guys.
I had a packed bag as a prophetic sign at the door.
I'd never been anywhere in my life.
I hadn't been past a five mile square radius of my house in over a decade.
But God told me that I was going somewhere that I needed a packed bag.
Right.
I'd only been on like three planes in my entire life.
Now I've literally been on more than 40 planes in a year.
And so he was not kidding.
So that's that level for life.
You jump out of bed.
You're like, shut.
I gun God, where are you going? I'm going to, I'm on an adventure with you.
My life is full of expectancy. Life is for me. God is for me. All right.
Level three, a level three life. This is where we begin you guys.
And I know that on the worksheet, it says we're hopeful.
Our life has a pulse. We're cautiously optimistic about things, right?
But level three is where get this.
We begin to approach things with hesitancy.
Level four, we're not hesitating. God's like, let's go. You're like, I'm here.
Three is where we begin to approach things with hesitancy.
We start to guard our hope.
We start to say things like, I hope so. Yeah, that would be nice.
I hope that works out.
We start to use hope in a way that it's not meant to be used.
You see that? Okay.
And then level two,
this is where we begin to live according to what can be achieved in our own
strength, natural, instead of supernatural lives.
This is what I like to call plan B or plan me.
We begin to orchestrate or build our lives around the idea that the things that
we want are probably not going to happen.
And responsibility starts to become a fancy word for fear or disappointment.
At this level competition and cynicism,
that's when it starts to set in. Okay.
Cause you're doubtful of whether it's going to happen.
And then you become doubtful of whether it's even worth your time anymore.
That's when it becomes, you become cynical. You're like, is this even worth it?
I don't even want this is where you tell yourself, you know what? I'm good.
I'm good. Anyone else ever said that? I'm good.
Someone's like, girl, I think you're gonna,
you're going to meet a man soon. You're like, I'm good.
Right.
All right. And then let's talk about level one, level one.
Hope is straight up foolish.
Hope is a luxury that you cannot afford. It's foolish. It's for fools.
People that are zealous and full of hope and, you know, idealist,
you're like, grow up, grow up, little girl.
Not everything happens for everyone at this level of life or this level of hope.
I should say bitterness grows. Jealousy thrives here.
Offense is abundant at God and others.
I had a student once, um, she was actually a private client.
And she was like, I'm going to go to the bathroom.
I was like, wow, girl, you don't have any social media. I was like, proud of her.
I felt like a proud mom. Like, wow, you disconnected girl.
You're resting. You're off social media. That's amazing.
And then she stopped me. She goes, oh, you know, before you congratulate me,
she's like, I don't have social media because I'm literally a
social media addict. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I don't have social media because I'm literally that jealous of other people.
She could not handle seeing other people, especially friends or people she went to
high school with or college with, she couldn't stand to see them getting the
things that she wanted or didn't have like getting married, having children, all
the things. And so she had to get off social media because it was making her that
and that's a level one hope.
There's a spiritual blindness that comes at this level that prevents us from even
seeing options or opportunities or possibilities anymore.
We could have all kinds of options or possibilities or opportunities, but we
wouldn't see them because when we're living at level one, we're blind.
So I want you to look back at your hope scale and look at all the places where
you put fours, threes, twos, and ones.
This kind of paints it in a different light.
Doesn't it?
Right.
I want to see you in the chat.
If you had any fours, go ahead and go ahead and put up in the chat.
Yes.
If you had any fours, let's see the people that had fours in some areas.
That's great.
That's where you're full of hope.
You're overflowing with anticipation and expectancy in that area.
You're like, yes, life is for me in this area.
God is with me in this area.
Woo.
It's good.
Right?
All right, now let's see, let's stop there.
And now let's see yeses for all the people that had threes.
And I feel like before I read this to you, you thought threes were pretty good.
We're feeling pretty good about a three.
That's like a B at school.
Right.
It's like, Hey man, that's what it's all about.
Is that the feeling?
That's the faith?
it's a B, it's not an A, but it's a B, maybe even a B plus.
Is that the optimism?
Cause that's what you needed.
You can just see there on the screen.
The problem is,
is that threes are where we actually begin to approach things with hesitancy.
This is where we start to guard our hope.
We don't want to not have hope in that area, but we're starting to,
you know, that, that, that doubt is starting to set in.
Now I want to see all the people that had to at least one area on this sheet,
you had a two,
take a look at that area that you had that too,
because this is where you're now trying to do stuff in your own strength.
If anything's going to happen in that area,
you're going to have to make it happen. That's your mindset.
If anything's going to happen, it's going to have to be plan B or plan me.
And this is probably an area where you've had a lot of crap happen because you
continue to take the wheel.
You continue to take a hold of the pen in that area because you don't trust God.
You don't,
you don't have a supernatural life in that area because
you have,
you have so much disappointment that's setting in there. All right.
And then let's see all the people that had at least one area with a one
say yes. If you had a one,
and that's an area where it's just foolish to even think that this is going to
change.
Now you see why everyone had to do the worksheet before we started, right?
Cause it would have just been a mess. All right. All right.
So people had ones, they had twos, they had threes, they had fours.
And you might ask yourself, how can one person have all those variations?
And it's because not all of those areas of your heart are the same,
your love life, your health, your finances.
You don't believe the same type of lies in all those areas.
You haven't had the same type of trauma in all of those areas.
And like I said, you're probably feeling good about those threes,
but God wants you to live at a level four
because it's not based on circumstances. It isn't.
You are an overcomer and you have the ability to overcome all the
objections to live a life overflowing with hope.
And how do I know that?
Because first Peter 3 15 says that we need to be ready in this world that we're
living in. We need to always be ready to do what we need to be ready to tell
other people why we still have hope.
It's like,
you better be ready to account for your hope because people are going to wonder
how you're still living with hope in this life,
how you're still living with hope in this world, be ready to account for it.
Because if you have it, people are going to think it's weird.
Hope is foreign to a world that is still aligning with a broken identity.
That's why we have to explain it.
That's why we have to be ready to explain it,
to be held accountable for it. People might be like, why are you so chipper
at work? They're like, why are you so chipper?
Don't you know there's a recession?
Y'all, this is not what I'm about to say. I just think it's funny.
It has nothing to do with any political affiliation.
So please do not send me an email. Why are you so happy?
Don't you know, Donald Trump's on the ballot again,
the world is ending.
Why are you so happy? Y'all I'm telling you,
I'm deleting all of my news apps before this coming year,
because I don't want to hear any of it about anything ever. I'm just gonna,
I don't want any of it. Why are you so happy?
Don't you know, gas is $6 a gallon in California.
Don't you know we're in a recession?
Well you're actually opting out of the recession, right?
Because your hope is in the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
And hope is what rolls us out of bed in the morning.
Hope puts a spring in our step.
Hope keeps us talking about what God
has told us.
Hope keeps us taking imperfect action toward the dream of our heart.
Hope is what will keep you taking imperfect action to prepare for what's
coming. Hope is what keeps you preparing when everyone else said, Oh, you know,
that's not going to happen because I have a,
I have a student right now who's actually about to be engaged to one of my
private clients. So she was one of y'all,
she was a student and she is marrying one of my private male clients. Okay.
He's about to propose to her. All right.
And people told her to give up. She's in her forties.
She has never been married and also to give up on having
any babies. And I just got off the phone with him the other day.
And not only are they going to get engaged here in a minute,
but they're going to get married in a few months and they're going to immediately
get pregnant.
And you're like, well, you know,
Now, maybe that, maybe they will, you know, she's over 40 years old.
You know, she doesn't, she has a 25% chance because once you start
quoting statistics of why it can't happen, you live in at a level two sister.
All right.
Don't start throwing numbers at me.
That's a really good sign that your hope tank is empty in that area.
Hope is what will keep you taking imperfect action toward the dream of your
heart and preparing for the good that's coming, preparing for the good that's
coming one way or another, God is for me.
Life is for me.
The best is yet to come.
The story isn't over yet.
Hope will keep you out of the waiting room of despair.
Remember there's no DMV in the kingdom, right?
There's no DMV.
There's no DMV for those of you that have not been in the
department of motor vehicles.
It smells like broken dreams and disappointment there.
It's terrible.
It's a terrible place.
Okay.
Everyone takes a number and we don't even know if the number means anything
because the numbers that are flashing on the screen make no sense at all to the
number that you're holding in your hand.
And you don't know if it's ever going to be your turn.
And you can't ask anyone because they don't know either.
Okay.
There's no place like that in the kingdom of God.
There is not.
There's only staging rooms.
Those are green rooms.
Those are rooms where you're getting prepared to walk out.
Cause it's your turn.
You're on center stage.
You're the star and birthing rooms.
Write that down.
The only two rooms there are in the kingdom of God.
They're staging rooms where you're getting prepared for your
debut and there are birthing rooms.
So there are prep rooms.
Those are the staging rooms and there are manifestation rooms.
Those are the birthing rooms because when God gives us a promise and I told
you guys this in the challenge, he always gives us a process and process
is where a lot of people fall off.
This is where people fall off.
They fall off during process.
And this is where a lot of people start to lose hope.
They lose hope during process.
And I'm just going to say it plainly and clearly.
And the reason why is because a lot of people, the place where they receive
the promise didn't teach them that there was a process.
Wherever you were and you lined up in some prophetic line to get a word from
the Lord, they didn't do enough teaching to tell you that it's not going to
happen right when you walk out the door or wait, when you go home or that you
have a part to play in that.
And there's a process involved with it.
I remember getting words like that back in the day.
And I just thought, oh, God said it.
Well, he's going to do it.
And I trust him and I believe him.
And I just keep watching on the horizon for it to happen.
I was waiting, but I wasn't gestating.
Right.
I wasn't growing that promise.
I didn't know how to manifest that promise.
And so part of the reason why people fall off and they lose hope during the
process is because they don't know they're in a process and they also don't
know what they're supposed to be doing in that process in order to hasten the
promise.
You're like, well, you know, Jackie, we can't control the prophetic.
You know, it's just in the Lord's timing.
That's not true because that's not biblical.
Let me tell you a little story.
I'll tell you a little story from the word.
Okay.
There was this prophet named Elijah and he was scared of this chick named
Jezebel and she was pretty scary.
All right.
And he was running away from her because she threatened him.
She threatened him.
She said, ah, you know, I'm going to kill you, but I'm not going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you by the end of today.
And all the other prophets he thought had been killed.
And so he ran away and he ran into the wilderness and he was running from her
and he was running from that spirit, that threat that she had given him long
story short, he had an encounter in a cave and God spoke to him and said,
what are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.
Right?
This is what I want you to do.
He gave him instructions and we all want to get some really laid out,
clear instructions from the Lord.
But the instructions that he gave him were, I want you to go and I want you
to anoint this dude named Jehu King.
Go and anoint him King because he's going to destroy the house of Ahab, right?
He's going to go destroy Jezebel.
So anoint him King.
And then Elijah is going to be your successor.
So go grab him and do this and do that.
So he gave him all these instructions to go do this stuff and he went and did it.
But that's not what I want to tell you about.
Jehu was a captain of the army.
Okay.
And he was just sitting there with the boys.
I don't know, they're playing cards.
I don't know what they were doing.
They were sitting up in the house doing something and the prophet
comes in and just anoints him.
You guys, that's a serious thing.
When the prophet comes and anoints you.
And you know what happened when Jay, who got anointed, he wasn't expecting it.
Right.
And a lot of you didn't ask for the promise that God gave you.
And you're like that.
You're like that woman who didn't ask for a child.
She was just minding her own business, serving the Lord,
making a room for the prophet.
And the prophet said, you're going to have a child.
She was older in her years and she did, she had a child, but then her child died.
And so she's, you know, riding, you know, the story, it is well, you
know, the prophet sends a servant and he's like, what's wrong, what's wrong?
Why are you coming to see the prophet?
Oh, no, it's everything's okay.
It's well, it's well.
Why?
Cause she was coming to grab ahold of that prophet.
She wanted to make sure nothing kept her from getting to him and saying, why
have you given me something that I didn't ask for just to take it away?
Who has ever felt like that with the Lord?
Why did you give me a promise?
If you weren't going to fulfill it, I didn't even ask for this.
I was just fine.
I was minding my own business.
And then I went and do a prophetic line and someone told me something
amazing that made my heart come alive with excitement.
And here I am sitting here and it ain't happened yet.
Why, why have you teased me like this?
Why have you done this to me?
I didn't ask for this.
So Jay, who wasn't asking to be King, you guys.
He was a man of war.
He was just sitting there and he got anointed as King, but what did he do?
What did he do when he was anointed as King?
He immediately rode out and did what he needed to do.
He took down the house of Ahab, didn't he?
But that's not even the part that I want to tell you about.
That's not even the part when Ahab, when he killed Ahab, okay.
His sons, when he killed him, when he killed them, he did not kill them.
Where the prophetic word said that they were going to die.
He killed them someplace else.
Do you know that Jehu picked them up and took them over to the
place where the original prophetic word said that they were going to be?
Are you allowed to do that?
If God tells you that, you know, you're gonna, you're gonna, you know, I don't
know, I'll use my example, God gave me a word years ago through this woman
that I was going to work in television.
And I had no experience in television at all.
And so you need to know that God gave me a word years ago that I was
going to work in television.
And I had no experience in television at all.
And so, you know what my crazy self did?
I went off of that word and I started calling every TV station in my town that
I lived in asking for an internship with no education.
And finally, one of them gave it to me and I became the general manager of
that television network within a year.
Are you allowed to go dump the bodies where the prophet originally said they
would be, even though that's not where you killed them at?
Yeah, you are.
That's a prophetic word.
I think we think, oh, it has to be supernatural.
You guys, God puts his super on your natural.
He put his super on Jehu's natural.
You understand that, right?
Go read the story.
Jehu was like, Hey, weren't, weren't these guys supposed to like, you know,
weren't, wasn't their blood supposed to be shed over, you know, some vineyard of
some Naboth guy that they robbed?
Yeah.
Go dump their bodies there and make the prophetic word true.
You guys see it, right?
Paula does.
She put like a bazillion little lines up.
Okay.
Hopefully you can see that we're allowed to partner with God in the promise.
You're allowed to partner with him, but you guys, if you lose hope, you won't do
that.
Hope is supernatural.
It is the thing that causes you to take imperfect action, knowing, Hey, God said,
I can have this because this is what we do.
We get all religious and say, oh, well, you know, I can't get out of God's timing.
God's the one that told you, you could have it.
You can't get out of his timing because he's the one that activated you in it.
Now it doesn't mean it's going to happen right away.
And you might take, you might do a whole bunch of imperfect action before you get
there.
I forgot a little step.
I called all the things, all the, the, the, the, the television that were the
stations.
And one of them gave me an internship, but I also took imperfect action by joining
this like charter school and going to broadcasting school, like going to
broadcasting school.
And it was only like, I don't know, 12 weeks long.
Y'all, they kicked me out.
I was like, I'm not going to do that.
out of broadcasting school.
I'm not going to do that.
So it isn't perfect action.
I'm not going to do that.
You know why they kicked me out because they were taking advantage.
You know, I grew up in the inner city and, you know, they were
marketing to inner city kids.
They were promising them stuff that wasn't true.
I was in school with all those kids.
And I started to raise a ruckus because I knew that the education that they were
getting there was not going to prepare them for work in that marketplace, because
I was interning at the television station.
And I knew the equipment that we were using at school was equipment that they
didn't have at TV stations anymore.
It was old equipment.
So these kids were being trained on equipment that was old, that was no
longer used in the industry, and they were not going to be able to get jobs.
And so I, cause I have a justice gift.
I went off, I went off.
I got called into the, the, the principal's office, so to speak,
the, um, the people that run the school.
And they said, you know, we want you out of here.
You know, they escorted me off the property y'all.
So I took imperfect action, but the good news is, is that I became the general
manager of the television station that I was interning for, and I got that.
I got the people that ran that school fired.
I got them fired y'all because God is a God of justice.
And then I sat on the curriculum board of that same school and decided what
those kids were going to learn based on what was in the industry.
Come on, y'all tell me that God will not set you up, not just for yourself,
but for everybody else to tell me, he won't do it.
Tell me you can't because I've already lived it.
And you guys, I had no education.
I was not qualified at all to do any of that, but God knew that I had it in me.
And that's what he wants to show you tonight.
You guys, this is never, ever part of this session.
I never tell any of those stories.
So this stuff is for you.
Please listen.
God's trying to get ahold of somebody's heart tonight and let you know that you
need to start taking imperfect action towards that promise.
Okay.
So process is where people start to lose hope.
We started to fall off process is not fun.
Okay.
You guys, I'd be lying to tell you that that time.
Yeah, it's exciting.
And it's an underdog story and we win.
We win.
It's an underdog story and we win at the end, but it was a hard process.
There was a lot of tears.
There was a lot of bleh.
Okay.
All right.
So Isaiah 40, 31 is the process scripture, but those who wait upon the Lord and
that word wait is those that expect, look for, and hope for him y'all.
It's the word hope in there.
Those that wait, the word wait is expect, look for, and hope prepare.
They will gain new strength and renew their power.
Wait means to hopefully and expectantly prepare, write that down.
Wait, that word wait, as it's translated into English, the original Greek means
to, I'm sorry, the original Hebrew means to hopefully and expectantly prepare
for what, for the goodness of God.
When during this lifetime, guys, God's going to be good to all of you in heaven.
You don't need the goodness of God in heaven.
Please say that to yourself.
I don't need God's goodness in heaven.
I need it here.
I don't need to see it in heaven.
That's all there is in heaven.
I need to see it here and I need to see it now.
So this is where we start to erode our hope ever so slowly.
And a lot of times unknowingly, because we allow our hope to be attached to a
certain timeline, a specific outcome.
And when that doesn't happen, we begin to entertain the tiniest seed of doubt.
You guys, when they kicked me out of that broadcasting school, I had no idea that I
was going to become the GM of that network.
I had no idea that I was going to be invited to come back and sit on the
curriculum board of that school.
And that I was going to be able to, you know, get the, the, the, the
people that ran that school fired.
All I felt was, Oh, I must've missed it.
God didn't call me to do this.
Look, I'm not even supposed to be here.
You guys, there was all kinds of part of that process where you, if you want to,
you can start to doubt that what God has said to you is true.
And especially if it doesn't happen as fast as you think it is.
A lot of times people quit trying.
We quit trying.
In fact, if I was to ask you right now, you know, when's the last time that you
took any type of imperfect action towards a promise that God has for you?
You'd probably say joining this course about your love story, but what about
the other promises?
When's the last time that you actually took meaningful and intentional
action towards making that come true?
When God said it to you, it was already true.
And I know that you think you're supposed to wait around for the genie in the
bottle to magically just make it.
manifest, but no, you are the one that manifests it.
God's the end of the beginning. He's the alpha and the Omega,
but you're the middle. He's the end of the, he's beginning in the end,
but you're the middle. You're the middle. You're the middle.
You got to walk it out. You got to walk it out. Okay.
So a lot of times we begin to entertain the tiniest seed of doubt.
You guys.
Now the opposite of love is fear, but the opposite of hope is doubt.
Write that down. The opposite of love is fear. It's not hate y'all.
Because hate is just part of fear.
The opposite of hope is doubt and doubt is defined. Write this down.
Doubt is defined as uncertainty that causes
in action.
The opposite of hope is uncertainty that causes what it causes you to not
act anymore.
Nelson Mandela, my favorite, my favorite quote, y'all,
you will never prepare for anything while secretly believing it's not going to
happen.
You guys, the proof of belief is action
imperfect action. You can't wait.
We just celebrated his birthday.
Martin Luther King jr said that you can't wait to see the whole staircase before
you take a step. He can't.
You got to take the step. The staircase will show up.
And I'm not telling you anything that I haven't had to live out. You guys,
God has made sure that I've had to live out every moment of
this, every moment of this.
Right. So for those of you that, you know,
you feel like you came out of the womb with no hope because you were born,
you know, in the wrong place, the wrong time to the wrong people,
on the wrong side of the street, on the wrong side of the tracks.
I'm right there with you, y'all. Me too.
Me too. Okay.
So remember that hope is expectant preparation. That's what hope is.
If you wanted to find hope, if you want to know what hope looks like,
you're like, what does it look like to live with hope?
So if you're expectantly preparing,
you're taking action that shows that you have hope in that area.
All right. All right.
So when we start to entertain that tiniest seed of doubt,
we start to entertain it. You guys, it's pervasive. It grows. Okay.
And when we start to entertain it, this is where we begin to defer our hope.
There's that word from that scripture, hope deferred in Proverbs.
It makes the heart sick, but when the longing is fulfilled,
it's a tree of life, right?
Everyone loves to quote that scripture when they're sad, you know,
hope deferred, my hope's been deferred. It's making my heart sick. But you know,
when we quote that scripture,
what we're saying is is that God's holding out on me.
That's what people mean when they say their hope is being deferred.
The thing that God promised me, he's also not giving to me.
He's not manifesting it. And so my hope's being deferred and it's making me
heart sick.
I'm brokenhearted because the thing that I've been waiting for for so long is
not happening. And what we're saying there is we think God is deferring it.
We think God's deferring it. God's the one that's not giving it to us.
God's the one that's not allowing us to have it.
God's the one that's holding out on us.
But the word of God tells us that there are three things that are eternal.
Faith, hope, and love.
There's three things that are constant and eternal,
meaning that there's an endless supply of them available at any time.
Faith, hope, and love.
You guys see what I'm saying here?
So God's not holding out on you.
He's not holding out on you.
He's not holding out on you because you're not,
here's the excuses that people tell themselves and religion tells you about why
you don't have the thing that God told you a long time ago,
that you could have.
Because you're not ready because you don't deserve it because it's not time.
Raise your hand right now.
If you've believed that about why you don't have whatever it is that you felt
like God wanted to give you, Oh, I'm just not ready yet. I don't deserve it yet.
It's not time yet. It's not God's time yet. You know, God's time is perfect.
Guys, God lives outside of time.
The only reason time even exists is to make sure that this whole thing is cut
short. The only reason that time even exists,
time was instituted with the fall of man so that we wouldn't be stuck in this
stinking state forever. You know that, right?
God lives in a different realm than us, outside of time.
We are ones that live in the time realm.
Why is that?
Because we don't want to live in this cursed state forever.
There's an expiration date here, thank God.
So don't ever say that to yourself again.
Oh, well, it's not God's timing.
It's not God's timing.
Don't ever say that to yourself again.
Oh, well, it's not God's timing.
You know what God's timing is?
Is when you actually believe that he told you
you can have it and you go pick it up at will call.
And yeah, it might not be easy to get to will call.
You might have to, you know,
go through some caves to get there and different things.
But God told you, you can have it.
And God's not lying to you.
So some of you are like, well, I don't deserve it yet.
Well, yeah, you're never going to deserve it.
You're not going to ever deserve the promises of God.
So if you've been punching your little time clock,
doing ministry and serving other people,
hoping that one of these days
you're going to have enough points to earn a husband,
you aren't.
You're not going to get enough points.
You're not going to get enough tickets
from the skee ball machine
to go and get a husband at the store.
That's not the way this works.
And some of you,
you've been waiting a whole long time for partnership.
God promised you partnership.
And now, you know, you're in your golden era of life.
So like, when is it time?
You're going to meet him in the old folks' home?
Is that what's going to happen?
And like, literally, why does that make sense?
So we're never fully going to be ready
for anything that God wants to give us.
That's what I'm trying to get across to you.
I know I'm being a little antagonistic on purpose
because I'm trying to get you to think
about how stupid some of this stuff is.
Religion is stupid and we have to stop listening to it.
Jesus died to set us free from religion.
You will never be fully ready
for anything God wants to give you.
He gives us stuff to grow into,
just like you buy your children shoes
and clothes to grow into.
And you have to be willing to take the beginning stages
of whatever that thing is.
Every promise has the beginning stages
of what it looks like.
Guys, I've had some type of business
for years and years and years.
My businesses haven't always been, you know,
reaching the audience that God wanted me to reach.
There were not, there were lots of times
of not despising small beginnings.
A lot of us, we think that the promise
is supposed to just be born 18 years old.
You guys, when you give birth to the promise,
it's still gonna just be in its infant stage.
You gotta nurture it so it can grow.
You gotta grow it.
And sometimes it's gonna grow at an accelerated rate
and sometimes it's gonna grow a little slower
and sometimes there's gonna be seasons
when it accelerates and grows faster.
And then sometimes it feels like it grows a little slower.
I believe that all of you are in accelerated time
for your love story and that's why you're here, okay?
Cause you're at a tipping point.
Some of you expect that baby to come out potty trained
and cook in its own food already.
That's not the way that works.
So sometimes we don't see what God's trying to give us
in the area of the promise he gave us
because we don't recognize it because it's not fully formed.
Sometimes it's just the ingredients of the cookies.
It's not the actual cookies.
Make sense?
God gave you a promise and you're expecting it
to show up fully formed and that's why you don't recognize
that God's giving you the ingredients
for the final product.
So belief looks like action on things
that can't be seen yet.
You guys see how God is using me
to transform the lives of women,
but what you don't see is 26 years of ministry.
Conferences, guys, I used to have a conference call
called the wake up call with Jackie
and you had to have at least one person live
with you on the conference call.
And this is back when that was the only technology
that was available.
I've always been a media girl,
always using the latest technology.
Back when conference calls were the thing,
my husband had to sometimes dial in and listen to me,
preach the word because there wasn't anyone else on there
and the conference call wouldn't even record itself
unless one other person was on.
So my husband had to get on and listen to me,
do the wake up call with Jackie
and then I would be able to have the recording
to put out on social media
and then people would listen to the recording.
But sometimes not even one person would show up to that.
Do you think that stopped me?
I wanna give you a guess.
It didn't.
Here I am.
And why is that?
Because God has given me a supernatural gift of hope.
Right?
It doesn't mean that I never get discouraged.
It means that I never,
doesn't mean I don't ever get discouraged.
I'm not going to get down, but I'm either, you know, I'm either up or getting up.
So the conference call, the wake-up call with Jackie, real life unplugged was
another ministry that I had for women.
Wow.
Was another ministry that I had for women.
Y'all I've been doing this for a really long time.
So what I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get into your head
right now is that scripture that says hope deferred makes the heart sick.
God doesn't ever defer your hope.
You defer it.
And when you defer it, it makes your heart sick.
It breaks your heart.
And when our hearts are sick, when we're feeling brokenhearted and sad because
of missed expectations, and really just the, the fear of abandonment that God's
not going to show up, that he's not going to do the things that he said, what
happens when hearts are sick, hearts that are sick, start looking for medication.
And this is where plan me starts taking shape.
I didn't get what I wanted.
I didn't get it when I wanted it.
I didn't get it how I wanted it.
I don't recognize the ingredients to what I want that are sitting right in front
of me, ready for me to mix together and start making a batter because it didn't
show up in the shape and form that I wanted it to, when I wanted it to.
And if God's not going to give it to me, I'm just going to go get it for myself.
I'm not going to get it when I want it.
And if God's not going to give it to me, I'm just going to go get it for myself
and I'm just going to, or I'm just going to give up on it altogether.
And you'll know when you get to this place, because you'll start speaking
the language of disappointment.
And here's what the language of disappointment sounds like.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter.
I didn't want it anyway.
Oh, well, it is what it is.
I guess God doesn't want me to have blank.
That's what it sounds like.
That's when you've got to the place where your hopes deferred.
So what does the word defer really mean?
You guys, it means to put off to a later time.
When we defer our hope, what we're saying is that it's not safe for me to hope
for this thing anymore because I don't want to be disappointed anymore.
And so I'm going to self-protect and the way I'm going to self-protect is I'm
going to postpone my hope.
I'm going to suspend my hope.
And I'm going to wait for more information before I believe that this
is going to happen.
I'm going to wait for proof.
That this is going to happen in my life.
Right?
The word suspend means that we're just going to wait on making a decision or
taking action here.
And so what we do friends is we wait to partner with hope.
We defer it until there's evidence hard proof that is safe to get our hopes
up again.
That's what we do.
We defer it.
We suspend it.
We postpone it until there's hard proof that it is safe to get our hopes up
again.
The problem with this is that it makes us heart sick.
When we defer, when we push our hope away and say, you know what?
I'm not going to, I'm not going to want this anymore until it's safe to
want it.
I need proof that this is really going to happen in my life.
I need hard proof.
And until I get hard proof that this is actually going to happen to me during
this lifetime.
I'm going to postpone.
I'm going to suspend my hope.
I'm going to push it away.
I'm going to defer it.
And then what does the scripture say?
It says hope deferred who defer to God?
No, you did.
You pushed it away.
You suspended it.
You want hard proof that it's true before you grab a hold of it with both
hands.
It starts to make us sick in our hearts and broken hearts go looking for
medication.
And when you look for medication friends that causes even more issues.
You start watching Netflix.
You start binging movies.
You're trying to escape.
Escapism is a real thing.
Y'all.
You come home from work and you right now a friend of mine is is living with
a roommate.
All she does is she comes home from her job and then she collapses into the
couch.
She orders some DoorDash and she just watches Netflix all night.
And my friend is a real go-getter and my friends like, hey, you want to do
this?
You know, you want to go for a walk?
You want to do this?
She's like, no, I don't want to do anything.
But this what is that?
That's a broken hearted person right there.
That's a person who just wants to self-medicate and some of you might be
self-medicating with entertainment.
You might be self-medicating that broken heart and that deferred hope with
with with some kind of drugs.
With some kind of alcohol with pornography with some other crazy
distraction.
Right?
Yeah, you've never heard it put this way, but this is scripture.
This is what the scripture is saying.
So next time you tell someone that your hope is deferred and it's making you
heart sick.
I want you to stop in that.
moment and say, do I mean, am I talking about God?
Cause we're always, it's an indictment against God.
When we quote that scripture, because we think that he's deferring our hope.
He's the one that's postponing it.
He's the one that's suspending what we're hoping for.
He's the one that's making it take longer than it should.
And he's hurting us.
He's breaking our hearts with this weight that we've been put in.
You know who, you know, you know who the people are that, that never notice how
long the wait is people that are busy doing something else that's important.
Preparing for when it comes getting ready for when it comes guys, I was so busy
getting ready for my daughter when I was pregnant with her, other people laying
around moaning and complaining about, you know, I can't wait till this baby's born.
I was busy.
I was busy getting ready for what was going to happen.
Psalm 43, five says, Hey soul, you guys.
And it's always the soul.
Remember we're spirits that live in bodies that possess souls.
And it's that heart part, that soul part.
It's always that part where the bad info is getting kept.
That is where hopelessness lives.
It lives in the soul part because it's rooted in all the bad information
from all of your heart boxes.
Okay.
So Psalm 43, five is saying, Hey soul, why are you restless heart?
Why are you so sick?
And then what does David say next hope in God?
Do you see that he's talking to that place in him?
That's restless.
That's sick.
That's been waiting for the breakthrough.
And he's asking it.
Why are you so sick?
Put your hope in God.
Don't defer your hope, put it safely in the right place and activate it.
Because remember faith, hope, and love.
There's an unlimited resource of them.
They're eternal.
They're limitless.
And so if you don't have hope, if you're not living at a level for hope,
it's not based on circumstance.
It's based on, you need to ask God for supernatural hope.
Loss of hope leads to doubt that leads to uncertainty.
That leads to inaction.
That leads to unbelief that leads to dead religion.
I'm going to read that again.
This is what God told me.
He said, when people lose hope that leads to doubt, because remember
the opposite of hope is doubt.
It leads to doubt.
And then doubt leads to uncertainty that leads to inaction.
That leads to unbelief that leads to dead religion.
You guys, I get my nails done at the Asian nail place and they're Buddhists
and they have little statues of all kinds of Buddha gods all over the
nail place everywhere.
And every once in a while, if I come in at the right time of day, there's like
some food with the little statue, like a little, little plate of food sitting
in front of the little statue.
Right.
And one day I came in and it literally had a little package of McDonald's
French fries sitting in front of the Buddha.
And as she was doing my nails, I started getting tickled.
I started getting tickled by this, these little, this little package of French
fries in front of the statue.
And finally, I just couldn't take it.
You know, my nail girl spoke really good English.
And I was like, Hey, what's up with the fries?
I just got to ask what's up with the fries.
And she's like, Oh, it's a, it's a food offering.
And I was like, okay.
I said, so I said, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but does it ever eat the
food?
And she just started laughing really hard.
And she's like, of course not.
Why y'all?
Cause it's dead religion.
Those people have lost hope that there's any God listening to them.
What happened?
Hope was led to doubt led to uncertainty led to unbelief and led to dead religion.
And, you know, we can all say, Oh yeah, you know, Buddha's not real.
And you know, they're worshiping false gods, but you guys, Christians do this
too.
You know how many Christians go to church and they do not believe a lick that God's
going to answer their prayers.
They're just going through the motions.
It's just dead religion.
That's all it is.
They'll buck and shout and get all excited about whatever the preacher saying, if
he's super hype and it's good or whatever, but they will walk out of there and their
actions will tell you that they do not believe at all what they were, you know,
screaming and shouting about in the church.
Tell me I'm wrong because you can't, I was discipled by the Pentecostals.
I know what's up.
You can say that you believe something, how you want to, but your actions will
tell a different story.
It's true.
It's tight, but it's right.
All right.
It is, it is, it is.
So it leads to dead religion, you guys.
And we don't want to be in dead religion because faith without action is dead.
Faith without action is dead.
Faith without works is dead.
And that word works is action.
Faith without action is dead.
Faith without hope is dead religion.
Write that down.
Faith without hope is dead religion.
You see it all the time.
Powerful faith without hope is dead religion.
It's powerless traditions that actually breed fear and disconnection from God.
You guys, those people that go to church with, they have faith.
They believe that God is, but they do not believe that God is going
to do anything for them in this life.
It's all going to happen in the afterlife.
Okay.
It's all going to happen in the afterlife.
That's where it's going to happen.
They don't have any hope that anything's going to change right now.
Because faith without hope is dead.
Faith without action is dead.
So powerless traditions that breed fear.
Okay.
So we do the same thing.
The Buddha and the fries, we do the same thing.
Ephesians 3 20 says to him, who was able to do exceedingly abundantly above all
we can ask, think, or imagine by the power that what works through us in us.
What is the power that's working in us?
The power of Holy spirit, but it's also the power of hope.
Why?
Because he can only do exceedingly abundantly through the power that works
in us, if you believe it, if you receive it, faith, okay.
Write this down.
Faith is trust in what God has already done.
So why so many people have faith.
They know that God is real.
They have faith that he sent his son and his son died and that
they have eternal life.
Now, faith is trust in what God has already done.
Trust in what God has already done, but hope is trust in what God's going to do.
Through who Ephesians 3 20 through you.
Faith is trust in what God's going to do through who, through you.
Ephesians 3 20.
So faith is trust in what God already did.
And hope is trust in what God is going to do through you because
God is always doing a new thing.
Is it already done from the finished work of the cross?
Yes.
Is it yet to come?
Yes.
What's the middle you he's the author and finisher.
Who's the middle you he's the start and he's the end.
Who's the middle you.
The middle is you and your hope.
If faith is the evidence of things hoped for, but yet still unseen, come on y'all.
What do you think that scripture means?
Faces faith is the evidence when you are, when you were at court, you cannot prove
something's true unless there's evidence.
What is the evidence of things hoped for faith?
Faith is the evidence of things hoped for, but yet still unseen.
Jeremiah 29, 11.
I know the plans, plural, you guys, you couldn't mess with the plans of God,
even if you tried, because he just has another one.
He has plural plans for you.
And I don't care how many plans you have messed up with your deferred hope.
God has a new plan for you tonight.
He wants to put your feet off the path of pain and put your feet back on the path
to him off the path of pain, back on the path to him, the plans that God has in
Jeremiah 29, 11, they are not yours.
They are his.
They are not your plans.
They are his.
I know the plans that I have for them, who you to give you what got to give you
to give you what got to get to this part of it, guys, do you know that the original
translation of this says to give them a hope and a future, but the actual
translation is to give them the future.
They're hoping for, Oh, what's.
I know the plans that I have for them says the Lord to give them
the future they're hoping for.
Let me ask you a question.
If hope is tied to your future, what future are you hoping for?
Because God just said his plan is to give you whatever it is that you have hope for.
What do you have hope for?
The future you're hoping for is the actual original Hebrew.
For those of you that are asking what translation, that's what it's translated
as saying to give them the future they're hoping for.
Okay.
Hopeful expectancy is the breeding ground of miracles.
Hopeful expectancy.
What is that?
That's the word weight from Psalms 43, five day that weight hopeful expectancy
is the breeding ground of miracles.
It's the breeding ground of miracles.
So I'm going to activate you tonight.
We've lost some things friends.
And I believe that heaven's lost and found is open guys ever
going to lost and found at school.
You lost your backpack or your thermos or left your coat on the bus.
And your mom threatened your life.
If you didn't find it because she didn't have enough money to buy you another one.
I'm, I'm pretty sure that was just my childhood.
Right.
Um, but you went to the lost and found at school to see if it was there, right?
Unless some other squirrely kids stole it.
And heaven's lost and found is open.
So wherever you lost your hope, God wants to show you where it
was lost and let you find it again.
And it's probably going to be based in a trauma where you lost it.
You lost it in a trauma.
Something happened and it was like the last straw.
It was the thing that caused you to defer your hope and your heart got sick.
You're like, Nope.
If it doesn't work out this time, we make internal vows.
If this doesn't work out, if that doesn't happen, I'm going to try one more time.
And, you know, if this, if this isn't it, then I'm done.
And maybe you just haven't had hope in one of these areas, the one or the
twos and even the threes, you haven't had hope in those areas in a long time.
If you're really being honest, you don't even know when the last time you really
you really took any intentional action towards abundance in that area of your
life, because you've just kind of given up that that's ever going to be for you.
Some of you have motherhood all over you.
Now I know we're women and people think we're automatically mothers.
I get that.
And I do believe that the divine feminine has a nurturing
aspect that is unparalleled.
But some of you are called to really mother children in your home from
infancy or from childhood up, and you haven't gotten married yet, or you were
married and didn't have any children.
And, you know, and what you're doing is you're sitting around and waiting
for some man's sperm to show up, or you're sitting around and waiting for
some man's paycheck or partnering to show up, go ahead and take imperfect
action towards that mothering desire and go take some foster classes,
go take some adoption classes.
You know how many children need parents?
Y'all I lived in foster homes where people had no business
taking kids into their home.
They were just doing it for the money and they did not have any
gift to be raising anybody.
There's so many children out there that they just want a mom.
They just want a mom.
They just want a dad.
If you want it, what are you waiting for?
Stop waiting for a man.
You don't have to wait for a man for that.
You're like, well, I don't want it to ruin my chances.
You know, maybe, maybe a guy wouldn't pick me because, you know, I have an
adopted child, then he's not your guy.
Cause if you're telling me that God's giving you a desire to foster or adopt,
you guys are the ones I'm talking to, then your person will have that desire
to, or at least their heart will be softened when they see you doing it.
And they'll be willing to be part of that.
So let's go find our lost hope.
Go ahead and go ahead and close your eyes.
Let's close our eyes.
Oh Lord, we thank you for this word tonight.
And we receive it with gladness.
We know that you're talking to us.
We know that you love us.
We know that you want us to live at that level four of hope.
And we can't do that on our own.
We can't do that on our own.
We need a super natural refilling of hope from heaven.
And so we're showing up at heaven's lost and found, and we're asking you to
restore our lost hope to us in areas of our love life, our future marriages,
our health, our finances, our bio family relationships, our friendships,
our jobs, our career, our spiritual life, our relationship with you, our
self-image, the hope to be mothers, the purpose of why you even brought us
here to this earth realm in the first place, we need our hope restored.
We want to walk around with our, our hearts overflowing with hope.
We want people to ask us why we're so full of hope.
We want people to ask us why we're so bold and we have so much courage and
why we just have so much belief and why we take so much action on things, just
knowing that it's going to work out to our good somehow, some way we want to
live at that level of hope that's noticeable for others.
And so wherever that trauma is rooted, wherever we.
lost hope in these areas.
I pray that you would allow that to be seen,
to be revealed and healed right now.
Just whisper it to us.
Tell us you lost hope.
This is the day that you lost hope.
This is the time that you lost hope.
This is the circumstances that made you go ahead
and give it up.
This was the thing that came and caused your hope
to be deferred, for you to suspend it,
for you to postpone it,
for you to think that hope was no longer safe
to have in this area anymore after this circumstance
or this event or this situation,
because you just didn't, you couldn't take the hurt anymore.
You didn't wanna live through the disappointment anymore.
You stopped getting your hopes up right here.
This was when it happened.
Show us that, reveal it so you can heal it, Lord.
Show us that that wasn't the end,
that the story is not over yet,
that we don't have to let that thing that happened,
that word that was spoken, that lie that was told,
that doesn't have to be a stumbling block for us anymore,
that we can grab a hold with both hands to your promise,
and we can start walking it out
and believing that you are going to order our steps
as we move, in Jesus' name, amen.
So if anyone heard anything or saw anything,
go ahead and put that in the chat.
If you wanna share something that you saw,
go ahead, you can unmute yourself.
No, we're ending a little late,
but we started late with everyone
having to get their worksheets done, so.
All right.
I would just, I hear lead us not into temptation
and the temptation being doubt.
I hear that all the time and you echoed that.
Awesome, yes.
Yes, you guys, we make the choice
of whether we're gonna defer our hope.
We make the choice of whether we're gonna postpone it
or suspend it.
Because remember, we don't walk by faith.
I mean, we walk by faith, we don't walk by sight.
We don't.
That means that we don't have to see
how it's gonna work out.
God said it's gonna work out,
so we just have to start moving towards it.
All right, so some of you, you were in relationships,
you thought that was gonna be the one
and then that one didn't work out.
You're like, that's it, I'm not gonna try again.
Business partners stealing from you, look at all that.
Because you guys, it's not just about the love story,
it's not just about the romance with a man.
It's also about all kinds of other things
that you've lost hope in.
When you lost your son, multiple losses.
Some of you guys have had some locusts
come through your crops, eat them all up.
Had years where it felt like everything went wrong,
nothing went right.
And you guys, I'm not gonna lie to you,
I'm not gonna lie to you,
those are those locust years, right?
But Joel tells us that he won't just restore
what the locusts have eaten,
he'll restore the time that was lost.
Some of you need to, in this hope lost and found,
you need to grab a hold of the time.
You know God can bend time, right?
Because remember, he doesn't live in time.
What does that mean?
That means that what you might think
is gonna take 10 years to rebuild,
God can let you rebuild it in 10 months.
And a lot of times we won't even start
because we think it's gonna take too long
and what's the point, right?
We're like, ugh, I don't wanna start over.
You're not starting over.
Who said anything about starting over?
There's no such thing as starting over.
Are you gonna unlearn all the lessons that you learned?
How can you start over?
You're not gonna start over.
You're gonna start again and God's gonna accelerate you.
Failed engagements.
Guys, we've had people, they had the dress,
they had the venue, they had all the deposits down
and then the guy broke up with them.
We have those people in our community.
And what I can say about that is you dodged a bullet.
Better lose some money than lose your life, right?
Being married to someone, losing years of your life,
being married to someone who's not gonna treat you right.
Okay.
So good, so good, so good.
All right.
Well, some of you may not have seen anything
in Heaven's Lost and Found
about how your hope got deferred,
but I believe that God's gonna speak to you
in the coming days.
He's gonna speak to you in dreams.
He's gonna speak to you in all different ways
that he speaks to us,
and you're gonna start to notice things.
You're gonna start to think about things
that you haven't thought about in years,
and that's gonna be God showing you,
hey, that's the place, that's the time
when you let go of believing
that this was gonna actually happen for you
or that good could come out of this.
Romans 8, 28, that I could turn this to good for you.
This is where you stop believing that,
and he's gonna help bring back your hope in that area.
Amen?
Amen.
All right.
All right, friends,
I hope that tonight was supernatural for you.
It was definitely supernatural for me,
and love y'all, and let's see,
your next live session will be Supernatural Saturday,
and of course, we have Sunday Night Activation.
You guys, Sunday Night Activation is not normally recorded,
but we do have that, and if it, let me see,
is it, it's not the last,
is it the last Sunday of the month yet?
Anybody?
Yeah, this coming Sunday's the last Sunday of the month,
and that means we'll have a time of prophetic,
a prophetic night.
So come Sunday night, that'll be a prophetic night,
and so those are your next two things.
So go ahead, whatever week you're in of the heartwork,
make sure that you're diligent, do your work,
make space for that processing time.
Don't mail it in.
Make sure that you're prepared
because God does wanna bless you,
and he also wants to bless you
with things that you are ready to receive, all right?
So let God get you ready to receive.
