Good evening, everyone. How are you? It's great to see everyone. Look at all your lovely faces. Hello. Yes, Jeanette. I see you smiling, girl. I like it. All right, let me see you all. For whoever can turn on your cameras. This is your challenge tonight right out of the gate. I want to see you. I want to see you. If you're driving, obviously I get it.
Let us see your beautiful faces. Yes. Yes. This is going to be a part of the regular activation. When you join us on live, let us see you. And it's okay if you're eating and you want to turn your camera off. Don't feel like you can't. But it's just like, hey, here I am. And I'm showing up and I'm letting you see me.
We come, like I have lipstick on tonight, but we come whether our makeup's done or not. We come if our hair is done or not. So we just show up, ladies. Okay. So it's so good to see you. If you have never met me before, I'm Bethany Cooper. I'm one of the hardware coaches in this group.
I'm going to see if I can get a few of you to raise your hands if you're new. I'm going to see if I can get a few of you to raise your hand. We'll see if we can get a few of you to raise your hand. How many of you, you don't have to do digital hands. That's okay. How many are joining us for the first time tonight? Can I see a raise of hands if anyone's brand-new tonight? Anyone? Okay. Let's see. Guislene? Is that right? Guisline? You can tell me if I'm right or wrong in the chat. Give me a pronunciation. That will help me, too. All right. So if there's others of you, go ahead and just say hi to me in the chat and say, I'm new. I'm new. So I can see you even if I couldn't see you raising your hand.
That's okay.
I'm going to see if I can get a few of you to raise your hand.
A couple things, super important.
I'm going to do the housekeeping first as always.
Let's see.
A push record.
Awesome.
I didn't want to forget that.
A couple things tonight.
On this journey, it's not a race.
I have several of you trying to get done with your heart work in two and a half to three weeks.
You're going to be doing those three to four weeks.
So, don't be shy.
I don't want to say it's an easy process.
I want you to take one week for every week of content.
Here's why.
When you're flying through there and you're binge-watching,
you're not really giving yourself full time to process even what you're hearing,
what you're reading.
You're not really giving a lot of room to the Holy Spirit to come in and speak to you in those places.
So, I want you to take a minute to do that.
If you're at the door and you just started two weeks ago,
that's too fast.
So I want you to go back.
And I want you to rewatch some of the videos and really take time with the
questions in journal.
And let the Lord speak to you.
And really open up and slow down.
Sometimes what I find is that when people,
and this isn't the case for everyone,
but sometimes when people are rushing through,
they don't know when they're going to be in the right place.
And I just want to say this,
because I'm going to be talking about this a lot on this program here,
but I can tell you if you guys will allow it.
This program will literally transform things and things you thought you
already knew about. You might just not know about yet.
And the other thing is that sometimes people will do that to actually
avoid.
Feeling the pain of what they need to process.
And I want you to let me know if you're struggling with that.
I want you to let me know.
I want you to let me know that you can do everything out of this process
that you can, if you're struggling to face some of the pain or any of that
kind of stuff. I want you to let me know.
You can do that by creating a post, you know,
and letting us kind of just know where you're at.
And then we can come alongside of you there.
The other thing is that I want you all to give yourself a lot of grace.
I've noticed several people feeling like.
They're not keeping up with everyone. I want you to know it's okay.
If you need more time,
some of you guys are going to have life that happens. Some of you guys,
you're going to find that you need a week and a half or two weeks in some
of these weeks.
It's not that we, we say you can't take longer if you need it.
Now,
if we feel like you're just hanging out in hard work and you're going to
wear yourself out, we'll tell you that too. Okay.
Cause hard work's a forever journey.
So you're never going to stop doing it,
but this intensive process is different than doing it as a part of your
life going forward.
The last thing I wanted to mention the divorce and remarriage video.
When you guys get to the week that that video is there,
even if you've never been divorced,
I strongly and highly recommend that you watch that video.
Here's why for a couple of reasons.
A lot of what Jackie teaches is very healthy,
biblical support.
And it also talks about like the church has taught some things wrong and
it's really bound people and,
and really shamed a lot of people that have gone through divorce.
The other thing is that you might meet someone that's been divorced or
will be divorced.
You guys might meet your spirit mate and maybe they will be divorced.
So having these kinds of understandings and thinking yeah,
you should.
Oh, you're driving.
but engaged. Yes. Yes. I was like, wait, you shouldn't be engaged yet. If you're in here,
I totally almost you all. I was like, wait, how did that happen? Okay. Supernatural you all.
It's a supernatural work in here. All right. Oh, that was funny. That was funny. It's getting late
here in the Eastern time zone. So, all right, let me pray for us. I'm excited to jump into our
content. It's going to be so good. I hope you guys came expecting. Okay, Karen, thank you for
letting me know that. If you all do have spotty Zoom, just know it's okay. Like sometimes I keep
an eye on people. If I can tell you're lagging to get into the breakouts, I'll just keep an eye on
that breakout and we'll kind of like wait for you to get in there and that kind of thing. All right,
let me pray. Father, thank you so much for this night. God, thank you for more revealings for
healing even happening. Even now as I pray, God, that you would help people to feel seen,
heard, known, loved, accepted. God, people that fell discarded by parents, by authority figures,
stepped on, pressed down. Lord, I pray that you would just open their spirits up tonight. Lord,
that you would help them to come further out of hiding, that you come help them to come further
into healing. God, that you would just bring redemption and restoration. But Lord, I pray that
you would also just help them to be vulnerable, help them to open up every part of their heart,
the areas where they may be in the past, have not let other people in. But God, tonight they
would let you first and foremost in. And I pray that you would just bring revealing and insight,
remove any filters or blind spots that we have. Help us hear what your spirit is saying to us,
help us to see our lives through your lens, Father. Lord, I thank you that you look at us
with eyes of love and your loving kindness leads us to repentance and transformation. Help us to
choose that good path tonight. And we just thank you in advance, Holy Spirit, for coming and just
weaving throughout our conversations and throughout tonight's session. And we just ask you to have
your way in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. All right. So last week we talked a little bit about confession
and repentance. We talked about lies and we're going to expand on that tonight. We're going to
talk about more than that, but I just kind of wanted you guys to know where I'm basically using
last week as a launch pad into tonight. So for that part of it, our broken heart, I want to kind
of do a little bit of a quick review. I want to say hi to our ladies on Facebook too. I almost
forgot to say hi to you. Welcome. We love you. We see you as well. Our broken heart is our biggest
foe. A lot of times people don't understand, or we always blame the devil for everything.
There are times that the devil, yes, 100% is the one at fault. He's the one trying to roam around
and deceive us. He's tripping us up. He's tempting us, all these things, but our broken heart is
actually our biggest foe. It's what deceives us the most. So that's why taking the time to allow
your heart to heal, allowing God to reveal the traumas that have not been healed, bring things up
out of the darkness into the light so that you can see things that you haven't even thought of.
In 20 years, some of you all have things coming up. We have revealings for healing happening
supernaturally in this group right now. If you guys aren't able, sometimes just take some time
and read people in the group's posts, because here's the thing. Some of y'all are going to
get breakthrough from reading someone else's post in the group. You are. God is doing a great work.
The other thing is that when some of you guys struggle, like, how will I ever learn to trust
again? I struggle with trust. What do I do with that? The more that your heart heals,
the healthier you become, the healthier choices you will also make, which will enable you to trust
more. That's how it works. So again, because also this is the sidebar here. The healthier we become,
you all, and the more healed our hearts become, the more we see God, the Father, Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Spirit as they truly are. Because we are leaning more into truth every single day.
We're growing closer to the understanding of who He is, who they are as three in one, and what they
mean to us personally. So I encourage you guys, if you're ever, like, really struggling to trust,
I know I say a lot of different scriptures, but really, really leaning into who is God the Father?
Who is Jesus Christ to you? Who is the Holy Spirit to you? What does that mean to you personally?
For them to come into your life and live and move and have their being and work on your behalf.
Not just other people's, but yours. Where they lovingly call you by name and speak to you with love.
things into existence that don't currently exist in your life. God is a creator from the beginning
of time. So some of you are struggling to believe that God can heal you. Some of you are struggling
to believe that God can provide a spirit mate that he will lead you on that path. And there's
no shame in that you all. That's where some of you are at. And it's recognizing and acknowledging it
so that you can step further into healing. But here's the thing. Also, knowing who God is to
you personally, and knowing that he literally can speak something into existence, can transform the
whole way that you look at his provision in your life. And his capability, you know, just meditating
on how powerful he is. And some of you might have right now even coming right up in your spirit,
well then why hasn't he already done that for me? And here's the thing. Some of you all he's
been trying, but your counterfeit identities are leading you away from the good things
and you're choosing unhealthy things instead. So I want you guys to start putting in the chat
some of the ways that the enemy, or excuse me, your heart, your unhealthy heart has been lying
to you in the past. It can be anything. Anything that, what is the Lord revealing to you
right now that in this last week, could be today, anytime. What is God showing you about your
unhealthy heart? How it lies to you? I'm going to start to read some of these out. I see rejection.
Michelle, thank you for putting that in the chat. Anyone else have any lies that have been surfacing
your unhealthy heart? Things it says to you? I'm going to wait for those not deserving enough
that I don't choose well. Wasting my time. Okay, Selena, that's legit.
That's legit. They're all legit, but that one really stood out to me. All right, I'm going to
try to keep up. These are going good. Said I deserve punishment. Also encourage those watching
on Facebook to share as well, because people that watch the replay, it'll minister to them when they
see it. That I have to control my circumstances. People to, I think you stay safe. I think you
maybe stay safe there. My picker's off. So much fear and rejection. Good things are not for you.
All right, who's iPhone there? Tell me who you are, so I know who's saying that.
All right, I'm going to keep letting those go.
I have to stay available to others at all times. Yeah, we're going to debunk that tonight, Joyce.
We're going to talk about that towards the end. All right, these are so good. Thank you guys for
sharing. So here are some other things that I started thinking about in the areas where our
hearts lie to us. Number one, it's telling you that you want things that you don't actually want.
So for example, some of you guys have old guys coming back in your life, out of nowhere,
showing up, trying to slip into your DMs, texting you, and your unhealthy heart is like,
oh, I miss that guy, even though he was super unhealthy and treated you horribly. Some of you
have old friendships that are doing that, coming out of the woodwork, people you haven't
talked to in years. Now, if they're healed and healthy, awesome. But if they're still unhealthy,
then they're going to just come in and be a, sorry, pardon me, I think Jackie says this,
I might sound like a drain slut, they're just going to suck you dry. Yeah, that's the stuff
that we think, oh my gosh, that friendship, I was so much stronger and better when I had that friend.
Some of us live in the shadows of our friends instead of fully living into our own selves.
So we hide behind other friendships that are unhealthy, old behaviors. So what are some of
your old behaviors that your unhealthy heart is saying, hey, go do this. Maybe it's, all right,
this didn't come up earlier today, but it just came up in my spirit. Maybe it's reading those
love novels, you all, maybe it's watching the stuff on TV that is borderline soft porn,
because there's a lot of it out there now. I might step on some toes, but I'm going to,
I'm going to go for it. The 50 shades of gray, you all, we don't want that stuff in this house.
Okay. That totally like clutters up what is truth and what is holy and what is really healthy within
the framework of a covenant marriage. And Jackie will talk more about that. And so there's no shame
if you've watched it, read it, done all those things. I just want to encourage you all. Those
are your unhealthy heart is leading you towards those things. Maybe some of you it's, you know,
drinking a lot. Maybe some of it's, you know, we have had a lot of people confess to masturbation,
all kinds of stuff. You all, we try to fill voids in our hearts and our souls and our lives
with things that are not healthy for us. The only thing,
the only thing that can come in and literally fill that void is God.
God himself and your healing and your healed heart becoming whole and then it will lead
you to choose other things.
All right, the other thing here is your unhealthy heart is telling you that you need things
that you don't actually need.
So that's the flip side.
So it might be saying to you, if you had this thing or this thing, then you would be happy.
For some of you, it is the spirit mate.
In your mind, you think the only way I can be happy is if I have the man.
And of course, we believe that God has drawn you here.
We believe he's preparing you for marriage.
So I'm not saying don't want that thing, don't want that spirit mate.
But what I am saying is God wants to heal you and restore you and rebuild you to a place
that you're coming to that relationship whole.
So I don't know if you guys have ever heard, you know, when you have two whole people,
that's when you can become one.
But no, like if I came in a half version of myself and the other person came in a half
version that doesn't make one because both people are unhealthy and like it really causes
there to be a struggle to actually come together.
Okay.
All right.
So maybe your unhealthy heart is telling you things like this.
Tell me if this, oh, I forgot.
So some of the things I mentioned this earlier, that where this can show up.
If I had this title, this job, I would be happy.
If I had this car, I would be happy.
If I had this, whatever house fill in the blank, love, love to see you guys.
Are there things that the enemy is like telling you, if you had this thing, this would make
you happy.
You can put that in the chat.
If you feel led to go ahead and chime in.
All right.
Some of the other lies you guys might be hearing, Melissa, good one.
Yes.
If you were skinnier, you'd be happy.
If we have a baby, we'll be happy.
These are real things too.
It's okay that we want these things, but we just have to make sure that we don't get out
of alignment and let that become an idol and our main focus.
All right.
Tamika put the actual title in there.
I like it.
Yeah.
More money, more money.
I see that.
All right.
Um, some of the other lies sound like this.
I've got this.
I'm okay.
I'm happy being single because even though some people are here, we have, we have people
that actually tell us as they go through heartwork and step back into phase two, where they're
having to like, start talking to people again, they're like, you know what?
It's just easier being single.
I actually, we have people that go towards marriage, they get engaged and then they're
like, wait a minute.
I don't want this person to move in.
I don't want, I don't want to have to get rid of my stuff.
I don't want to have to compromise.
It's just easier being single.
I'm serious.
You all, this is legit stuff that happens.
We had a woman that would not let her husband move his stuff in the house.
Yeah.
We want to make sure we get prepared in our hearts now to make room for them.
We say we want a spirit mate.
We say we want babies.
We say we want all kinds of stuff, but you all, it takes work, takes work and preparation.
It's good thing.
I can tell you, I, I do, I do not regret for one second desiring my spirit mate and walking
into marriage.
Is it hard some days?
Yeah.
You got to learn and you got to grow.
And sometimes you're still revealing for healing happening, but praise God, it's good.
So that's what God wants for you all.
Okay.
A couple more lies.
Uh, I'm content just the way I am.
This is how I didn't say this one earlier today, but this one comes up a lot.
This is just who I am.
So people that kind of come in and they're like, yeah, I'm not changing my spirit mates
going to have to like me just the way I am, just the size I am just the, whatever you
all seriously.
Those are the things that we hear too.
And I'm not saying, yes, we want them to love you, to accept you for who you are, but let's,
let's also be honest.
We want the men to look good, but some of us don't want to take care of ourselves.
And that happens too.
So maybe, maybe it's not about the makeup or the certain way your hair is, but it's
about being a full version of yourself, a healthy healed version of you so that you
show up fully because guess what?
Healing on the inside transforms the outside.
Y'all will start glowing.
People will start to comment like what's going on with you.
Like you look different in a good way.
They're going to start to notice because healing and the glory of God is going to start to
be revealed through you.
That's what's going to happen.
All right.
Here's the last one.
I don't need anyone's help.
All right, Jeremiah 17, nine through 10
in the message version says this,
I treat them as they are, not as they should,
I'm sorry, not as they pretend to be.
I'm gonna read that again
because I totally almost messed that up.
I treat them as they are, not as they pretend to be.
So what that's saying is God is going to treat you
like the version of you that he created.
Not the version of you that you're pretending to be.
So we're gonna talk about this for a minute.
Some of you all are hiding behind masks
because you think it makes you look
like you have it all together.
Some of you have things that you don't really
wanna reveal about yourself because you're afraid
that if people actually knew you, they wouldn't love you.
These are things that we heard today
in the earlier breakout session.
This is stuff I hear all the time.
Some of you are afraid that if someone knows
that you committed the sin that you committed,
like they won't, they won't accept you.
And there's all different kinds of masks.
Again, the titles, the things.
So today's first breakout session is on this topic.
You're gonna go into the breakout session
and yes, some of you guys have never met each other,
but I'm encouraging you, even those of you that are scared,
if you will give yourself three minutes
of just the most courage you could have
in each breakout session and let God,
even if it's one word you all that you get out tonight
on like, what's the mask that you hide behind?
Where does the enemy try to get you to pretend?
And what mask do you need to,
like what needs to come off tonight
so you can show up as the real you?
I wanna encourage you to do that.
And here's why.
There is power in your voice.
Some of you, the enemy has tried to destroy your voice
your entire lives.
And so you come onto the breakout and some of you are,
you know, I get it, you don't know each other.
It's like, I don't know if I can trust,
but this is a safe place here.
What you share here doesn't go outside of here.
So I hope all of you know,
like don't share it outside of here.
I think everyone's on the same page there, right?
So go into your breakout and be vulnerable.
Take a risk.
You know, love is a risk.
Being vulnerable is a risk.
You know, I get on here every week
and I tell you all my dirty secrets.
I do.
Over time, you guys learn more and more
about the things I've been through,
the things I've struggled with, you know,
whatever that looks like.
And so I wanna encourage you like,
borrow courage from me tonight if you need to,
because I'll give it to you.
I'm giving it to you right now.
And I believe the Holy Spirit's giving you courage as well.
So ask him to help you if you're afraid
and let him work in you, all right?
I'm gonna have three people in this first breakout together.
We have 83 ladies on here tonight
and we have 11 on Facebook.
That's incredible.
All right, I'm gonna give you guys nine minutes
for this first breakout
because I want each to have about three minutes to talk.
Okay, some of you might have to
just because of our numbers are a little bit off.
Okay.
And then I'll be talking to the ladies on Facebook.
I would love to have you guys sharing.
Okay, go ahead and click to join those breakout rooms.
See you guys soon.
I'll be praying.
Ladies on Facebook, I wanna hear from you.
How many of you guys have masks
that you're gonna take off tonight?
And what are those masks?
Oh, well, Dawn, that's totally fine.
You can watch on Facebook.
I know sometimes it just doesn't work schedule-wise.
Hi, Jennifer, so glad that you're here too.
One of our coaches is here on Facebook.
Oh, here she is too on Zoom, awesome.
Hey, do you have anything that,
I don't wanna put you on the spot, it's okay if not.
Do you have anything kind of coming up in your spirit
on the mask or anything God has shown you
that you think could help the ladies as well?
I have several ladies that aren't in rooms yet.
Yeah, go ahead and get them in rooms.
I'm very excited.
There are so many people here.
That's so awesome, it's so amazing.
I think just kind of going into the heart work
and how you were talking about,
like you keep going through it.
Yeah, I'm two years down the road
and it's still coming up for me.
And being in a relationship is still coming up
and it's different.
And I really encourage you all to like take that time
because if you take the time,
perhaps it'll be easier down the road
where you won't have to go back and revisit and revisit
but if you take that time and really focus in
and just kind of slow yourself down and process
and stuff's gonna come up anyways.
But I just, I agree with you, Bethany,
that that time and space to be able to heal
and so important because it's gonna come up.
You can't. Oh, you can't avoid it.
Yes, yes.
So one of the things I was sharing
with the ladies earlier
today, I think I touched on
a little bit, but I do think, oh, let's see.
Carissa, I got to put you in one, girl.
We almost missed you. Hold on. I might have just
put you in the wrong room, though.
I did. Hold
on one sec. Let me put you in
10. Okay. Carissa,
you can go ahead and click to join room
10.
All right.
Hi, Bethany. I am
late. I just got on.
Oh, that's okay.
I'm sitting in a car.
I'm not sure if you're able to even see
me right here. I can see you, yeah.
Yeah, I was
just letting you know it's not your fault. I was late
getting on. Oh, it's okay.
Go ahead, and you can click to join
that breakout so you can join the ladies in there, okay?
Okay, awesome. Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
All right.
So I was just going to share some of the
masks for me.
We talked about this a little bit today,
and it might come up in the group share.
I'm not sure, but I think it's worth
mentioning now. Hi,
McCall. Let me put you in a breakout.
Click to join that.
Was the super
woman. Super woman.
Who doesn't want
to be super woman, right? She's got it all together.
She's going to conquer land, and
she can kick butt and
take names, right? Hi, Crystal.
All right, putting you in breakouts.
We're talking
about masks that we need to remove
and come out from
under. So go ahead and click to join that.
All right.
And so I was
talking about just how
many times growing up
because of things I went through,
the enemy really, like,
took care of me.
And so I came almost like this,
I won't say prideful
in a bad way, but like prideful
in the sense that I, like,
took care of people, or that
I could go in and accomplish
something. And
the Lord really had to work on me
through things falling apart
at times
to not, it's okay
for me to want to do well,
right? It's okay for us to want to succeed.
It's okay for us to want to
have success. None of that is
bad. But one of the things I emphasize
to the ladies is that balance is
key in everything. So Jackie
talks a lot about,
you know, anything when we come,
it's overextended. That's when it
becomes out of balance, right?
And so allowing
God to use my giftings
and to help
me,
you know, really thrive
you know, which is one of the things I
love to do, develop other people
to have them help me so
that I don't have to do things by myself
anymore. And really not
being, like,
the other kind of contrast
here, this just came up in my spirit, is that Super
Woman in the movie that came out a couple
years ago, she had
this team of guys around her, right?
And in order to accomplish the mission,
they all had
to work together.
And in the beginning,
you know, she even kind of was like, what
is this guy? What can this guy do, you know?
But that's kind of the gift
is that we don't always know or see
the value in someone else, but God can show us
the value in them and then we can learn how to
be in community and function
together and really
thrive in ways that we couldn't
have on our own. Even
in the scene where they, you know,
hold the shield and she
jumps on it and she goes up and, like,
you know, she kind of
demolishes the building. Well, there
had to be someone there to kind of
lift her up, if you will.
So anyways, just food for thought
as you guys are
processing that it
takes community
for things to happen really well.
All right. Cassandra
says, the mask I've been wearing is that
I am fine being alone.
The lie comes from believing people
won't want to be with me
because they're not
comfortable with me.
I've been through
I have healed through a lot
and I'm worried the man I meet will
think I don't value myself and leave
me too. Thank you so much for sharing
and being vulnerable with us.
I'm going to read some of the others
and then I'll come back and do a little bit of
coaching on these. My mask is that
I don't need help. Hyper
independence. My mask, Don
said, sorry, that last one was Sally.
Self-sufficiency.
And just like my mother, I don't need
a man. I want a man, but I'm happy
being single, just me.
Emily says my mask that I wear is
I am okay being single
and never having kids.
Emily, that's huge.
Lydia says my mask
is that I don't want a man. I'm okay
by myself. All right, let's talk about a couple of these. I'm going to talk about Cassandra's
here for a minute. I'm so sorry. I'm not a big fan of these water bottles. I just want
to say I always think they're kind of weird. So I apologize that I'm using it on the thing
tonight. We're traveling and so I'm making making do tonight. All right. So she says
the mask I've been wearing is that I'm fine being alone. It comes from but believing people
won't want to be with me if they find out the list of trauma. So let's let's just talk
about this for a second. Here's the truth is that healthy healed and whole people are
going to see you for the healthy healed version of who you are or who you're becoming. You
know, that's the thing. Like it's not just who we were or what we've been through. We're
not labeled by our traumas. We're not labeled by those things we've been through. We don't
have to allow those to define us. The enemy wants us to do that, but we don't have to
allow that. And so I would encourage you all if you're struggling with any of that kind
of stuff, like asking the Lord to redefine your your view of even your trauma, because
you might get a little bit mind blown on some of that when when God really starts showing
you how much purpose there is in the pain that you've been through and really just changes
the way that you view what you've been through through the lens of the father. Yes, it's
painful. Yes, it can be a lot. And I can say just so you know, Cassandra, I used to think
the same thing. No joke. I remember the one night I had to tell Brian something that
happened in college. It's not something I talk about a lot, but I had been raped in
college and I was terrified to tell him, especially after going through abuse, you would
think I would catch on and not get in dangerous situations anymore. But it seemed like I could
never get away from that stuff. The enemy just kept pursuing me with the same stuff,
with the same stuff. And anyway, so I remember just being so nervous, like that was the abuse
was easier to tell him than that for me. And man, he was so gracious and kind and loving
and supportive. And I just want to encourage you, like your spirit mate, when you find
the right guy, he's going to be like that too. He is. And he's going to accept you for
yourself. Brian doesn't treat me like a broken person at all. And he has really genuinely,
even with the abuse of like I went through with my brothers, like he sees it from just
the reality that all hurt people, hurt people, broken people, break people, but praise God,
heal people, heal people. And that's why we're getting healed so that we can help, you know,
be a vessel for God to work through, to bring healing and redemption and all kinds of stuff.
I had so many more I wanted to get through. I'll come back to some of y'all later. I won't
forget. Even if I have to respond in text, I will respond to our Facebook ladies. Hello.
Welcome back. All right. We have 30 seconds and then everyone will be back with us.
All right. The seconds take forever when we get to this point, but they'll be here
soon y'all. Okay. I want to encourage you guys to go and look at some of your sister's
comments in the chat. Maybe when you jump off this live, we have some ladies that are
sharing some of their mask in the Facebook feed. So it'd be awesome to see you guys cheering
them on and commenting. If you have time, that's not a have to, you don't have to do
it, but want to encourage you all. If you have time, that would be amazing. Okay. I'm
going to encourage you all to mute for me just because that'll help reduce our feedback.
Okay. So who is willing to share with the whole group what you shared in your private
breakout group about a mask that you're going to remove tonight? Okay. Awesome. Who do we
got here? Bridget, go ahead. Okay. So I was sharing that this week the Lord has been dealing
with me about, I'm a very strong person, but I also have a very soft side where I'm really
tender and sensitive and romantic. And that side, it's like I have it so well contained
and kind of set to the side and I just deny that part of myself even really exists. And
I'm very strong. And so the Lord's been dealing with me about removing obstacles to intimacy
in my relationship with him and being safe in vulnerability and finding that way to take
that armor off that I don't always have to be as strong. And part of me is very
very excited about getting married because I can't wait to relinquish control and take
these pants off.
You know, I'm tired of being the one that's always responsible for everything adulting
in life and have a partner.
But it's also very scary and intimidating and I recognize that there's very few people
that I allow to see that very soft, sensitive, tender side of myself.
Yeah.
So good.
Okay.
You got to start practicing now to take those pants off.
Don't wait for the spirit mate to come.
And I believe God will provide you opportunities to let other people come in and help you because
you don't have to do it all by yourself anymore.
When y'all went in the breakout, I talked about Wonder Woman, Super Woman.
Who did I talk about?
Whatever her name is.
She came up in the earlier session today at one o'clock.
And so I brought her up when you all were in the breakout.
You know, we don't have to be Wonder Woman, Super Woman.
I can't remember what she's called, you all.
What is her name?
Is it Super Woman or Wonder Woman?
Both.
They both exist, don't they?
All right.
Whatever.
The strong woman who does everything by herself.
But what I said to debunk that, if y'all knew the movie, she's got a team, a team of
guys who goes with her on the mission.
And even some of the really big moments in the movie, the guys use the shield to help
her jump off and have that kind of catapult moment.
So y'all, it takes people, takes a tribe, takes community, takes allowing yourself to
let people in.
So practice now.
Don't literally take the pants off.
Y'all understand what I'm saying?
You let people help you get out of the bossy, get out of the mindset that you got to do
it all by yourself.
You know, I'm going to encourage some of you all to let yourself feel weak for like
a few days.
What does it feel like to let yourself feel weak in the sense of it's okay if you don't
have it all together?
Some of y'all need to give yourself some permission that you don't have to have it all figured
out.
You don't have to have it all together.
Yeah.
Melissa, I mean, practicing that is literally inviting other people in to help you on a
regular basis.
Not trying to do everything all the time by yourself.
So maybe it's asking someone to take your kid to school one day.
I don't know.
Like you're going to have to ask the Holy Spirit for you.
What does that mean?
If you don't have kids, maybe for you, it's not doing every project at work, which sometimes
I'm guilty of y'all.
I got to ask people for help and I'm learning.
I love to train people up, but sometimes it's hard to train people up because it takes time.
So sometimes I'm like, it's just easier to do it by myself.
No, it's not.
It's really not because there's only one of me and I can only accomplish so much.
But if I build up a team, man, we can, we can accomplish so much together.
So those are the kinds of things you got to invite people in.
Okay.
I don't want to go too far in that romantic.
She said, I sometimes deny that that side of me exists.
How many of you guys have a side of yourself that you deny that it exists?
I'm curious.
I want to hear in the chat, like I want to start to see what, what side do you pretend
of yourself that it doesn't exist?
I think this is a real like eye opener tonight.
This did not come up in our session earlier today.
So some of you guys, you know, that side that you don't want anyone to see, you don't want
that to come out.
I feel like there's something really on that tonight and this is how you take the pants
off.
You let that side come out.
That's a huge thing for some of you to let yourself, you know, vulnerability, you know,
it takes a lot of trust and a lot of you struggle with trust right now, but we've already
established that the more you heal, the more you're going to be able to trust because you're
going to learn that people that God they're trustworthy.
Not everyone, obviously unhealthy people are not trustworthy at times, but when you have
healthy people, they, they can be, do people make mistakes?
Yes, absolutely.
I make mistakes.
Y'all.
Okay.
So we have to give room, but when you have a side of yourself, and then I'm going to
go on to, is it Chris shell?
Yeah.
Chris L herself, herself.
I'm going to come to you here in one second.
So if you have a side of yourself that you actually deny exist, I want to encourage you
this week to ask the Lord.
when was the first time I told that person
they could not be here?
Or that you got in trouble
for showing that side of yourself,
or you got made fun of for showing that side of yourself,
whatever the scenario is for you,
but literally some of you,
like you actually, because something happened to you
when you were showing that side,
maybe you were, you know, trying to be romantic
and the guy just totally crapped on it, I don't know.
But like, whatever that thing is,
it caused you to shrink back and literally tell yourself,
yeah, you, you version of me,
you are not coming back out if I can help it.
Because when you come out to play, I get hurt every time.
That's legit.
Some of you guys are afraid to let the vulnerable side
of you, some of you guys, you know,
again, it's the tough woman,
it's the, you know, the anger hurts bodyguard.
Why does that anger come out?
Because when we have hurt, something is there to protect it.
That's where the anger shows up.
Some of you guys have these really big ideas of,
if I don't, if I'm not strong, if I don't act tough,
if I don't act like I don't need a man,
then, oh my gosh, what would people really know?
That I need someone.
Or that I want someone.
Some of you guys, you're having even a hard time
to admit that you want to be married.
So maybe that's where you're at tonight.
Okay, I'm gonna leave that there for a little bit.
Okay, go ahead.
You actually just said it.
Oh. So admitting
that I not just want a husband, I want to be a wife.
And I've just been, no, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
This Miss Independent that the world's been selling me,
I've been buying up and eating, and I'm like,
you know what, I'm not.
I'm not, I'm tired,
and I don't want to do Miss Independent anymore.
I was just telling the group, I don't want to do it anymore.
I want to be the soft, caring, kind, compassionate,
gentle, feminine side that God created me to be.
But for too long, I've been doing this Miss Independent.
And I've just come out of denial recently of like,
no, I want to be a wife, and I want a husband.
I can't be a wife without a husband,
so I kind of need the husband.
So it's just a reality check of,
oh, yeah, I got to be honest with myself, so.
That's so good.
And when you were writing, or when you were sharing,
I was writing down this.
Some of you all, guys,
I want you to do an activation on this.
Y'all, I want you to make, even out of paper,
I want you to make like a pretend door sign
that says Miss Independent,
and I want you to hang it up on your door.
And this might sound funny,
because it might sound backwards.
But then I want you to actually take it back down.
I want you to take it, literally, that door sign back down,
and I want you to ask God what the name of you
going forward is going to be,
because I want you to write that name on
whenever he shows it to you.
It might not even be right away,
but when God speaks that new name of who you are
and who you're going to be,
I want you to write that on the paper
and hang that up on your door,
because you need to see it often right now.
And what that's going to do,
even though it's an activation,
you might find it to be very powerful
when you remove Miss Independent from the door sign,
because that's been your kind of title.
It's been where you hang your hat.
And God is saying, through the Holy Spirit tonight,
it's time to let Miss Independent off duty.
It's time to tell her she doesn't have to work here anymore.
Okay, so I'm kind of paraphrasing.
I want you guys to really visualize this.
Yeah, like she needs, we won't kill her exactly,
because there is some, we want to be interdependent.
We want to depend on God, not be independent of him
and not be so independent ourselves
that we struggle to connect, right?
But yes, she can be fired all day long.
No, she can have a grave side too.
I'm just teasing you all a little bit.
All right, Lucy, go ahead.
So actually, Bethany, I kind of struggled
figuring out what my mask was.
So I thought, oh, let me just pop in, just get your idea.
So if we don't cover it or you're like,
God will reveal it later, that's fine.
We don't have to dawn it.
But the thing that's been coming up for me all week
is a fear of being rejected
and like feeling that's so strong in my body.
Some things that I did think about maybe could be masks is.
feeling doomed to fail. So maybe not fully trying or exerting or feeling doomed to fail. So like
putting in way too much effort to try and mitigate that. Yeah. So those are some of the things and
maybe a fear that I have to be joyful and I can't express that there's no space for negative
emotions. Yeah. Okay. So thank you so much for sharing. First of all, thank you everyone else
that shared too. So here's my thought when you said not fully trying. So to me, mask is that
you're not successful, but you actually probably are. And what would it mean? Some of us are
actually afraid of being successful. Some people are literally afraid to step in because there's
a greater fear of failure. The more successful we have in our minds, we think the greater the fall.
That's not always true. Failing can be failing forward. It can mean that a mistake doesn't have
to mean we just stop or that we no longer can accomplish something. It can actually propel us
forward if we let it. The mistakes I've made in the past, you all, even in dating and romantic
relationships, they have led me here. I don't know if y'all have heard this song. I forget the name
of the movie right now, but it came out a couple of years ago on Valentine's day with Jennifer
Lopez. I'll have to look up the name of the song too, but one of her songs on the album,
it's terrible. I don't remember, but I'm just drawing a blank. But that was the song I walked
down the aisle to. And it was talking about all of the broken roads led us to each other.
Essentially, that's kind of summing it up. It's so powerful. The way she sings
the lyrics in that song. Do I think it would have been amazing to not have gone through divorce?
Yes, absolutely. I do. But I am who I am today because of everything. Yes, on my way. Thank you.
Because everything I've gone through has brought me here and God can use that stuff when I put it
in his hands. So what does it mean to, if you struggle to not fully try and out of fear of being
rejected, I would just continue to ask the Lord for clarity on what the mask actually is. But I
think the mask is afraid of success. That's just what keeps coming up there for me. So we're going
to start to shift because I want to do one more breakout session. It's already 847 and the time's
going to fly you all. Yeah, it's a beautiful song. But I want you guys to be thinking, even if
you didn't get to share out loud, I saw a couple people were putting their mask in the chat. Go
ahead and put them in the chat. Feel free to share them with the group. There's no reason you can't
still share with everyone. Yeah. And that does happen. I'm not sure again, who iPhone is,
but I just want to kind of mention that she says my independence was out of necessity,
but then became a super strength. Yeah. So some of us do feel like it came out of that necessity
because we had to take care of everything. Right. But it's time to let God in because he's going to
take care of things in the days ahead for you as you allow him to. OK. So I want to mention these
couple of things. Some of us pretend so long that we forget these three things. We forget who we
really are. We forget how we really feel. And we forget the things that we really want.
I'm going to read those again for you. Sometimes we pretend so long that we forget
who we really are, how we really feel and the things we really want.
So I want to ask you guys a question. I want you to think about this this week. You don't
have to answer it now, but make a note somewhere. I want you guys to pray and ask the Lord to show
you this. What did your little girl you and you can ask your grown up version of yourself, too.
And this is going to this is new to some of you all understand when I say things like ask Jesus
to show up to the little girl version of you and tell her what he thinks about that situation.
So maybe you guys have never connected with the little girl in you that was broken and didn't
heal. And so one of the things I talked about earlier today, when you guys first started this
journey, one of the things we talked about is convergence. Well, one of the things that
happens in convergence is when the little girl us merges with the grown up version of us. And
how can that happen while healing and we open, open, open, and then we start to merge back
together. Brokenness, when we go through trauma, that's what creates these separate versions of us.
And the little girl gets separated
from the version of us that continues to grow up.
And if this little girl never heals,
well, that's still inside of there.
The broken little girl is still inside.
And so what you're doing in this process
is you're healing her,
but you're also healing the other versions
along the way that also got hurt.
That's what's happening.
And then it's all merging you together
so that you can actually know in the beginning
who did God create you to be?
What were things you wanted?
So I wanna encourage you to ask that little girl,
what were some of the things that she liked
that got stolen or squashed by other people?
What I mean by that is sometimes people spoke words
to some of you when you were little
and they just really spoke against dreams or silly.
Some of you guys struggle to be fun now
because you weren't allowed to be silly as a kid.
Kids are silly, but some of us were told,
stop that, sit down.
You know, we're never allowed to fidget.
We're not allowed, you know, all these things.
And I, again, I'm kind of chuckling about it,
but these are real legit things that people struggle with.
And they're still bound in their life today as a grownup
because they were not allowed to sing and dance and play.
And whatever that looks like for you,
some of you, maybe that wasn't your thing.
Maybe you wanted to climb a tree and you weren't allowed
because you're a girl and girls don't climb trees.
I don't know, I'm just trying to kind of stoke that
for you all, because it's different for everybody.
Yeah, being made fun of, anything.
Anything where the enemy came in through the words
or the behaviors of other people,
and he tried to squash you and push you down
and oppress you in some way.
That's what I'm talking about.
So that little girl, what did she like to do?
Because in the days and weeks ahead,
also, y'all, when you get to week five, don't check out.
I have people that are going from week four,
trying to go into phase two.
Week five is like the culmination of everything.
It's when you start to figure out who you really are
after you've done all this hard work.
It's so important.
The stuff I'm talking about tonight,
some of you guys haven't tapped into your little girl
or your dreams or God's dreams for you in ages.
I promise you, if you will do that,
you are going to accelerate to find your spirit mate.
If you will allow yourself to really,
like, who do I wanna be?
God, who did you create me to be?
What are some things I can do?
So tonight, what I'm doing is I'm activating you
to start letting the little girl out to play.
So one of the ways this came up,
like I thought of it after the live session earlier today,
where I talked about the little girl,
but I'm expanding it tonight.
God gave me a word for someone earlier today.
And I'm just, this is my late brain.
I'm drawing a blank on who I was writing to.
But as I was writing my response to her,
I saw this little girl and she was giggling
and she was blowing bubbles.
And I just, I couldn't get rid of it out of my spirit.
And so I said to her,
I think you're supposed to blow bubbles this week.
I feel like there's something on this for you,
having fun and blowing bubbles.
So anyway, she's gonna do that.
But as soon as she responded and said,
I'm gonna, I love this.
I'm gonna do this with my nephews.
I heard the Holy Spirit say, you need to tell everyone.
You don't all gotta blow bubbles this week.
Yeah, I feel the Holy Spirit on this.
I see some of you guys even getting emotional with this.
Ah, yeah, just breathe that in a little bit.
Some of you guys really need to let the Holy Spirit
do what he's doing right now.
Some of you guys need to like ask the Holy Spirit,
what do I need to do to have fun and play
and be a little, like be a little girl?
Obviously within reason, some of you are older,
there's certain things you won't be able to do,
but like, you know, what is it?
What is that simple, like innocent little thing
that you could do to start to activate that reawakening
and not worrying about what anybody thinks
or what they, I, when Jackie did this with our group
years ago, I felt led to go to a park and just swing.
I used to love to swing.
I used to love to swing with my friends and all that.
So I started doing that and I just,
anything that the Lord brought to mind,
I just started doing it.
And so whatever that looks like for you.
And then what I want you guys to do,
I want you to post in the group about it
because we're talking about a lot of hard work
and a lot of hard stuff.
And I want you guys to have some fun this week too,
because this week you're going to be doing forgiveness.
If you're in week four, I forget,
some of y'all are in week one, I'm sorry.
You're all in different places,
but either way, hard work can be hard.
So let's have a little bit of fun.
Don't get distracted from your hard work,
but I want you to have some fun too.
The Holy Spirit's been telling me all day, this is so important to some of yours, like you all walking into freedom.
Okay. All right. I'm going to move on to the next thing. Here is where we're going next.
Forgiveness. Last week, we talked about confession and repentance.
That is what is going to help us come out of hiding you all. Forgiveness is what's going to bring closure.
And here's the struggle that a lot of us have. When we have the same thing coming up over and over and over again,
it's like, well, wait a minute. If forgiveness brings closure, why is this thing coming up again?
If you all remember, one of the things I said to you is that forgiveness is in layers. It happens in layers.
So if you have already done a lot of work in one area, but you're in here and the Holy Spirit brings it up to you again,
it's probably because he wants you to take a peek at something that you, maybe you saw this whole part of it,
but now he's wanting to show you something over here that's connected to that same thing.
And just be open. Doesn't mean you have to go all the way back into it, but God might want to show you something else.
Unforgiveness is like slowly drinking poison more and more over time.
So when we choose to like stay in unforgiveness and bitterness and resentment,
it actually can be like we're just a little bit every day, just drinking a little bit of poison, a little bit of poison.
And so tonight I want to encourage you all to break some of these tethers. A tether, I talk to people a lot.
This is a way that I can help you visualize it. Did anybody ever have the tether ball game on your playground?
Anyone know what tether ball is? It's this pole that has a rope connected to it and the rope has a ball connected to it.
And you just, the kids would sit and, you know, hit the tether ball back and forth.
It's kind of funny if you think about it, but how does the ball come off that pole?
It comes unlocked, you undo it, and then it's no longer tethered. I love tether ball too.
So unforgiveness, when we choose to forgive, we are untethering. We're severing that connection.
We're releasing them and we're releasing ourselves. So let's think about the flip side of this.
If you choose to walk in unforgiveness, guess what, y'all? You're tethering yourself to those people.
We don't like to think about that, but that's the truth. We are tethered to them until we release them and let them go.
We don't want to get, we don't want to stay stuck to those people that hurt us and did things that
were mean and all that. So let's forgive so that we can fully move forward. I'm going to give you
some scriptures after I say one more thing. Forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a choice.
Yes, Jackie's soul tie video is so good. It talks about tethering in there too. So if you guys
haven't seen that yet, that's going to be really powerful for you. Forgiveness is not a feeling,
it's a choice. You guys, Ephesians 4.32 says, forgive one another just as God forgave you
because of what Christ has done. Colossians 3.13, remember the Lord forgave you, so you must also
forgive others. When you guys work on the forgiveness prayer, even if you're not in week
four, if you go into the downloads area, I'm not going to answer a bunch of tech questions right
now, but I'm just telling you where it's at. In your portal, in start here, the way at the beginning,
there's an area that says downloads. If you go in there, that forgiveness prayer sheet is in there.
So anybody in any single week can get that forgiveness prayer. When you guys work on
these forgiveness prayers, this is the thing you want to forgive all the characters, all the
characters that played a role. So what does that mean? That means like in my story, for example,
my brothers were my abusers. My sister also abused me. And so the people that played a role
were my two brothers and my sister. But then also there were other people that played a role that I
found out later, years later. So I had to end up going and forgiving them as well. Does that make
sense? Some of you all need to forgive yourselves. Legit, you want to know why you can't move forward?
It's because you are holding yourself hostage. You are freeing everybody else, but you're not
letting yourself go free. And the enemy is tricking you into thinking that you don't deserve
to be free because your sin is so terrible, like it can't be forgiven or something. But God forgives
all sin, all sin. He doesn't look at sin. One sin is worse than the other sin. It's just sin, you all.
It's just sin to him. So God isn't saying, you know, I'm just going to, I'll pick myself. God
isn't saying, Bethany, you know, what you've done is just unforgivable because you didn't.
this thing. He's saying, I forgive your sins as far as the East is from the West. So why
can't we forgive ourselves? Okay. The last, I don't have the scripture reference for you,
but this came to me today to love your neighbors. You love yourself. So here's the key. You
got to first love yourself. So that means you got to come out of alignment with self-hatred.
Some of you, some of you all, it's you struggle to love or like yourself because you actually
internally hate yourself. And I know that's such a strong word and people don't like to
hear it or even think that they would, that that's how they feel about themselves. But
some of you have some of that stuff deep down in, and that will show up in a lot of self
deprecating thoughts. If you guys have a lot of negative thoughts about yourself, it could
be your body. It could be your spirit. It could be you're never good in any like that
self-deprecation. Okay. That is often rooted in self-hatred and self loathing. And that
happened because at some point you were broken, something happened and you started not liking
yourself. For me, I had self-hatred because I was abused and I thought I was dirty. That
wasn't truth. But that's what I believed at that time until God came into my story
and told me something different. Now he takes our, our crimson red that, that, okay, let
me also say this. Thank you, Lord. When we are abused by someone else, especially under
the age of accountability, a, if you're a kid, you all, you don't need to ask for forgiveness
for things people did to you. Number one, okay. We're not responsible for abuse that
is done to us. Same thing for older, older, above 18. If you have been abused, you don't
have to apologize for that. You don't have to seek forgiveness for that. The difference
is like for me, I was abused in that last relationship. He cheated on me multiple times.
It was terrible, but here's where I could take responsibility. I, I didn't listen to
the Holy spirit when he was showing me red flags and that's what I can take responsibility
for. And that's what I needed to forgive myself for because I, I wasted in my mind
six years, but see God redeems all of that. You all, I don't feel like I lost six years
anymore because I'm living my best life right now. And those years don't even, I mean, it
just doesn't even matter anymore. Things that used to matter like that. Don't God can heal
and God can restore and God redeems that time. Okay. All right. I'm going to send you
into breakouts here. Here's your question. Who do you need to forgive tonight and why?
Who do you need to forgive tonight and why? Okay. Yes. When the past is gone, you don't
have to keep rehashing that anymore. I'm going to recreate these rooms cause we had some
people join us. We're at nine Oh three. I'm going to bump us down to eight minutes. Y'all
will have to share kind of quick. All right, here we go. Praying for you all. Let me see
about my ladies over here. Click to join. I'm going to be watching to make sure y'all
get in there. All right, ladies, I'm going to try to catch up with you on Facebook here
in a second. I just got to make sure these ladies get in the breakouts.
Oh, Jane, I'm glad that minister to you. I'm not sure which part, but I'm glad.
All right. Let's see here. Make sure y'all click to join.
Keep, keep clicking to join some. I think maybe some of our connections are a little weak.
All right. You guys should have, Oh, here we go. Robin.
Okay. She's in a room. Sorry. Y'all just need to make sure these people are got people with them.
All right. You guys should have a thing there. If you want to click to join,
if not, that's fine. You can stay here. That's totally cool.
All right. Okay. So let's catch up with Facebook here for a minute.
Let's see. Sally says, I identify with a romantic comment. I feel like I don't know how to do that
anymore, or even just have fun. So this is where, again, just invite the Holy spirit into this
process with you and, um, renewing you even while you sleep. That's kind of what's coming up in my
spirit, just to start thanking God for giving you dreams while you sleep, but like fun things to go
do. Um,
You know, what are some things that would awaken the little girl in you?
You know, you might start seeing things when you're out and about just by asking, asking
God to do that.
Let's see, Don says, yes, that's one of my biggest fears, fear of success and failure,
both equally.
And I'm a perfectionist as well.
Yeah, we talked about perfectionism a lot earlier in the earlier session.
One of the things I shared was that, you know, where did that perfectionism start?
For me, it started because there was a lot of pressure on me as a kid.
There were four of us kids.
My oldest brother got really great grades.
My two middle siblings, they had C's and D's, but they never really got in trouble a whole
lot for him.
But I, like, if I had a B, my mom got on to me.
And then other things that kind of like I saw, like how the enemy would put things together.
My brother, my middle brother, he wouldn't do his chores.
When my mom came home, I got in trouble if the chores weren't done.
Like even if they were my, well, my sister did too, we both did.
But even if they weren't our chores, we got in trouble for them.
And that you might think, well, what does that have to do with a perfectionist?
So what that taught me at a, at a young age, not only did I have to take on my load, but
I had to take on their load too, and I had to do it perfectly.
And there really wasn't room for not getting it done or struggling or whatever.
Okay.
So I had to look at what was the root of that perfectionism in me.
And there were other things, but those were two of the things that I shared earlier.
And that really resonated for me when I was putting this content together tonight.
And so I had to lean out of trying to be perfect, again, taking that mask off because I'm not
perfect.
And I don't always have it together, but praise God, the root of when did that start so that
I could ask for healing in that area.
And then that grace internally, then that peace starts to come so that I don't have
to feel like I have to be something that I'm not.
Okay.
So hopefully that'll, that'll help you too.
Raquel, if you don't know what your mask is yet, that's okay.
Just ask the Lord to show you and he will.
Jane says, yes, being successful is something I was afraid of, but then I was listening
to these lives and I'm like, yes, that was on my Jesus cares board was my finances.
And yes, this weekend, some big doors open.
I'm like, what?
This is a God thing.
Yeah.
That being successful is not wrong.
It's totally a good thing.
Don't live in poverty life.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Raquel says having fun is easy for her.
Y'all y'all get some tips from Raquel.
All right.
So when, when I was a child, my dreams were unrealistic.
I think sometimes all of us as kids have unrealistic dreams, but then there's also dreams that
could have been realized if someone did not tell us it wasn't possible.
There's this astronaut movie.
I wish again, I could remember what it's called.
It came out a few months back on, on Netflix, but it's a true story.
I think he was one of the first Mexican astronauts.
I think, I hope I didn't say that wrong, his ethnicity wrong, but I'm pretty sure
he was.
And, um, he had a lot of people that told him he couldn't do it, but he determined in
his heart that he was going to do that.
And he worked and he worked and he put in a lot of hard, hard work to make it there.
All right.
I'm going to keep reading.
Karen says, I don't feel we can forgive others, but God can help us with this.
Forgiveness doesn't mean you forget, but we are to forgive us.
Christ forgives us.
Um, yes, there are times where we're going to struggle to forgive people and we need
to ask God to give us the courage and give us the enablement.
Um, but it still is a choice.
The scripture tells us that.
So we have to choose forgiveness.
And then sometimes the feelings will follow.
And sometimes it's a really long time before those feelings follow, but we still make a
choice to forgive.
Okay.
Emily says, I am having trouble forgiving myself for not being home for my dog when
something happened and he ended up having heart failure all while I was away.
I couldn't save him.
Oh, my heart goes out to you, Emily.
I love dogs.
That would be so heartbreaking.
Um, but here's the thing.
It's okay for you to live your life.
You didn't know that was going to happen to your dog.
And so pray that God would just come in and heal that area.
Um, oh, come on.
You can come back.
I just saw you, um, and really that you would release yourself.
And I'm, I'm just even hearing the Lord say, tell her that her dog forgives her.
Your doggie's not mad at you.
He knew you loved him or her.
I don't know if it was a girl or boy.
But your, your animal, I'm sure knew that you loved them.
And so just be at peace.
I know that's not easy, but ask the Lord to come into that area as well.
Karen also says, I never felt like I like myself at all, and was always trying to prove
to my mom who I was, but she never accepted anything I did as good.
So I would encourage you, Karen, to really lean into that with the Holy Spirit.
Like what are the areas that God wants to come in and heal those wounds with your mom
and speak a word of truth over you?
Because, you know, we can easily carry that into relationships with other women.
We can carry that into any romantic relationship.
Like even though it was our mom, like if those areas aren't healed, you know, we want we
don't want to take that baggage in with us.
So always trying to prove to my mom.
So do you ever struggle now in your life today trying to prove yourself to people?
Is that something you tend to struggle with?
I would love to hear you share more on that.
Yes, Charlotte, thank you.
It was a million miles away.
Yeah, I love that movie.
It's so good.
Cassandra says some of our ladies are starting to come back, I think maybe.
We have a little bit more time.
I need to forgive myself, I blame myself for a lot of the things I went through, if I was
healthy at the time, these things would have been avoided.
I am going to answer you here, Cassandra, on this.
Hold on one second.
I just got to let them back in.
I am not going to have time probably to read the rest of this right now, but right on that
one, I think this is important for some of the people that are even coming back to hear
Cassandra shared in the in the Facebook thread.
I need to forgive myself.
I blame myself for a lot of the things I went through.
If I was healthy at the time, these things would have been avoided.
Here's the truth, you all.
We don't know what we don't know until we know it.
So some of us are holding ourselves hostage and we're not forgiving ourselves because of
something we did not know.
And yes, sometimes.
Yes.
OK, this is how I broke it down for you earlier.
I'm so thankful that the Lord just reminded me.
I knew that I was seeing red flags and I did go past those.
But here's the thing.
What was not healed in my heart and the things that I didn't learn as a kid, so I never
saw a model of a healthy relationship.
Like ever. And so going into that relationship after a marriage that was already really
broken and there was a lot of abuse there, I had to like literally kind of flee the home.
And then I had this this next relationship.
Right. So I never really matured in the areas and got healing in the abuse and the things
that I actually fled my my home growing up.
And so. I didn't know how to stop going past the red flags, you know, like I didn't
because I was broken on the inside.
And so when that stuff healed, y'all better believe when I was dating this last time
around, I showed up so different.
I showed up so different.
And, you know, I saw green flags and people and there were times I saw people yellow
flags and then there were times I was like, OK, yeah, that's a red flag.
I'm not blowing past that past that guy this time, you know.
And so you just start to recognize it and not keep blowing past that.
But I knew stuff here that I didn't really know, like and I had a maturity about me and
a healing about me that equipped me to not do the same thing I did over here.
So I want to encourage you guys, I was I was commenting on Cassandra's, you know,
thing in there. To really just just say, you know what, I'm just going to pick a name.
Let's see here. I see stuff, stuff.
I see you. God sees you, too, stuff.
It's OK that you made that mistake with that person and God forgives you and stuff, you
know, like I'm pretending like I'm talking to myself and I'm stuff, but I'm doing it
with stuff because God told me to pick stuff.
But like stuff, I forgive you.
I forgive you for making that mistake, but today is a new day and you're learning,
you're learning new things and you're learning new skills and stuff, you know what
you're going to pick differently next time.
I feel the Holy Spirit on that, so God must have that for you tonight, stuff.
Yeah. You guys, literally, this is how we can talk kind to ourselves.
We forgive ourselves, we use our own name and we really gratify and build ourselves up
and and help us to know that, you know, tomorrow is is a different day.
Everything you all literally, no matter what what happened leading up to tonight, from
this day forward, you will be different and can be.
different if you choose to believe it and align yourself with the truth and allow God
to heal and restore you and set you on an entirely different path.
Some of you all are about to step on a path that you thought was never possible for your
family and God is saying, yes, you will.
You are the kinsman redeemer in your family and I am walking by your side and I'm going
to help you do this thing.
He forgives you.
First of all, literally, as soon as we ask, God forgives us and he remembers it no more.
The enemy is the one who remembers it and tries to torment us.
So if you're being tormented, perfect love casts out all fear.
Fear is what has to do with torment.
Fears of the enemy.
Okay.
All right.
So who's willing to share with the whole group what you shared in your breakout about forgiveness?
Who are you forgiven tonight and why?
I can share.
Awesome.
Go ahead.
Um, so the first, well, people I said was, I said, I've had several people that I've
dated that have just ghosted and don't like end things.
And so I just shared how that's, I like to have closure.
Like was it something I did something I said, not that it matters cause it's already over,
but to have that closure.
And then the other person that I'm going to forgive is myself.
And I just shared that because of something that was said in elementary and in junior
high, um, I don't see myself as the Lord does.
And I'm just embarrassed and sad all at the same time.
I'm now 42 that I let something from that long ago, um, affect how I feel about myself.
And one of my words this year is believe.
And so I need to believe in myself and see myself as he does.
So good.
I'm going to go ahead and let a couple of people share, and then I'm going to jump in
and do some coaching just so we can get through a couple of people.
Okay.
I, I don't know how to say your name and I'm, I don't want to butcher it to craziness.
I'll begins with an O your name begins, tell me how to say your name.
Okay.
Oluwabunsalami.
You can just call me Busola.
Okay.
Busola.
I would love to hear what you have to say.
Okay.
Um, I shared, um, in my group that I, um, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to forgiving
my parents.
I didn't know that I had, um, any heart against them, maybe with my dad, but like now with
my mom and the Holy Spirit just opened my eyes to seeing that I had, um, arts against
them and that I needed to forgive and, um, let them go.
And it didn't just like do it in a way to say forgive.
He also pointed out the fact that I needed to focus on the positive things that, um,
I gained from being their child, um, much more like, Oh, they might not be perfect,
but, um, you know, the brush up in the way of the Lord took you to church, but, um, taught
you the importance of prayer fasting and, you know, did their very best to, um, to give
you the world, you know, reminded me that, um, yeah, your parents probably might not
be the richest, but I had access to like everything I needed.
And, um, probably going, um, I grew up in Nigeria, so probably going, um, vacation abroad
and all that, you know, they made sure that I did have those things that I needed.
And those who just said, you know what, they might not be perfect.
They might not be this.
And you probably, um, feel that, Oh, this, they did this, they didn't do that.
Just let it go and be thankful for what you have.
And yeah.
And that has really helped me so much.
Thank you.
That was so good, Jeanette, go ahead.
Hey, Bethany, how are you?
Good.
Um, okay.
Um, what I shared in the group was I'm trying to forgive a, one of my kindergarten while
she was my main kindergarten teacher.
I only went to that Christian school for two years, but this teacher told me I was stupid
when I was only five and I almost lost my dad at five years old.
He had a massive heart attack.
and it could have died but praise God he did it. He's still here.
But I have to forgive that teacher for what she told me because it's still there
and I have to keep telling myself I'm not stupid.
Yes. I know that I'm smart but still that just comes out.
Yes. I believe God's going to take care of that root in you. He is. He's going to help you get
through this and you're not going to keep questioning if you're smart or not anymore.
I think you're going to finally cross that hurdle in this time frame.
So just be open to just even times of ministry. Y'all when we have deep things like this where
they come up this word that was spoken to her and one of the ways you can tell that it's still
got a decent hold is that it still like deeply hurts us, right? And so there's no shame in that
Jeanette. I just want you to know like but I feel like it's important for people like when we
feel it that deep in our emotions still that's where you can see that you know that's still
kind of rooted in there in your belief system and it's probably infiltrated into some other areas
and it might even be connected to something else that you don't remember. Maybe you do. Maybe
someone else has said that to you along the way or even since then and it's built on it. And so
as you continue to as you as you choose to forgive her you know and maybe for you maybe your door
sign is Jeanette is smart. Jeanette is loved, accepted, whatever you need to say to yourself
so that you can start really loving you. You know sometimes I have a friend I think I maybe
mentioned her to you all before. She has some dyslexia and she says some things you know she
has a hard time reading and and when I first met her she was terrified to talk out loud
and and now she prays on calls and God is using her and she's taking all kinds of studies on
prophetic stuff and she went to school to become a nurse and and she had people Jeanette and this
is why I'm saying this that told her she was stupid and she could never do it and she did it.
She did it and I believe you're going to be able to do some things too. Maybe some things you've
wanted to do for a long time that you've been afraid to step out and do but God wants to
restore you and heal you in that area and help you excel. I believe you're going to excel in
the days ahead. All right thank you so much for sharing. Let's see Michaela go ahead.
I just appreciated you saying the piece about layers and everyone involved because
there has been something that has keeps coming up just my dad's alcoholism and the way I grew
up and some things around that and I felt like I forgave him a long time ago but I never
even thought about anybody else involved. I never thought about like my mom or having any
hardness of heart against her at all but for me that's what came up tonight is realizing that
I don't think I've ever thought about or even gone to that place of forgiving her
and for not taking us out of that situation or protecting us more or you know fill in the blank.
So I just really appreciated that because it's been driving me crazy why this has been coming up
because I'm like I felt like I really dealt with it but I never thought about any other
person involved or any other layer. Yes thank you so much for sharing. I feel the holy spirit all
over that. Anyone else having that come up for you? I have a couple digital hands up so please
don't do your digital hands just do your hand in general or put in the chat. Anyone else really
seeing like okay God showed me someone else connected to that scenario that I need to
forgive now. I really want to encourage you guys to step in to the water tonight. That's what I'm
hearing in the spirit so I'm just going to say it. Y'all the guy sat by the pool waiting for people
to carry him in for years and then in one moment Jesus encountered him and gave him the opportunity
to get up in the pool and be healed and some of you that's your night tonight. This is your night.
This is your night to get in the pool and let Jesus heal you completely in these areas. Some
of you all you know there might be additional layers down the road because you just don't
remember like our bodies are not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same.
is built in such a way that it protects us from painful things. And so that's why some of you have
layers as well that happen, but you're not doing anything wrong. I feel like that's super important
It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same.
to some of y'all feel like, well, I feel like I'm screwing this up. Why can't I forgive what,
you know, you're blaming the enemy is trying to get you to blame yourself. And the Lord is saying
you're, you're not to blame. Okay. You're not to blame. Yeah. Some of you all just need to like,
kind of let that soak into like the little girl in you was not to blame. And the adult version
of you is not to blame. Hurt people, hurt people, you all and broken people, break people. But I
was saying when you all were in the breakouts, heal people, heal people. And that's why we're
here. That's why we're here. Thank you for sharing that. That's so good. Crystal, go ahead.
I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm pretty emotional about this one. So I think earlier when you were talking
about like faithfulness as a little girl, I just realized like how much, like I've done a lot of
work around forgiving my dad who is incredibly abusive. But what came up was just, I was the
youngest of four kids and I was always too much. So I was always too loud. I was, you know, my
dancing was stupid. My music was stupid. My, you know, um, just everything. Like I, my, I felt like
my siblings never like approved of me. And I kind of realized like, I, I need to forgive them
obviously, but I can see how that's also playing out in my life. Cause I'm always longing for love
and acceptance and I find myself like bending myself to fit, to try to fit in. Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you for sharing. I know it takes so much courage. You all, I know it does,
but I also know Crystal's courage right now is helping someone else too. Confident of that.
Crystal, I hope you dance. That's the song that's coming to my mind is I hope you dance. And I hope
you dance like you've never danced before. And some of y'all what's going to happen. Um, when
you do some of this stuff, some of you guys need to even just dance in your living rooms and just
have the best dance party of your life. And, you know, without anybody else, they're saying anything,
doing anything, but like you just learning how to be fully free, you know, and there's other
things. I think even some people, what comes to mind, some of y'all need to get on a motorcycle
and just go ride because someone told you like, that's, you know, that's not for girls. You don't
do that, whatever. And so, but like, some of you all are going to feel so free if you go do that.
So whatever your thing is, again, just let God lead you there. And I just want to say,
Crystal, I'm so sorry that you felt that way when you were a little, and I believe that God
is going to teach you how to create a different environment for your children and your family
one day. And then he's, he's doing that right now. He's starting it right now because he's
showing you the different areas where you felt minimized or left out or not included,
but God includes you. And he saw you all along and he worked all of these things. This is how
God is y'all. He brought all these things together tonight to lead her to that revelation. So she
could get freedom. Same thing for some of you all. Okay. Elizabeth, go ahead. I have a couple
more ladies and then I have two things I want to share before we close up tonight.
Me, Elizabeth. Yes. Elizabeth Bach. Okay. I don't know how to say your name. I'm so sorry.
It's okay. It's all good. Yeah. I think that, well, some things I thought I had
dealt with a long time ago and I thought I had done all the things, but
this week again, just thinking about forgiving my stepdad and his friend who,
who had broken into our home when I was young and raped my mom. And then it became like an ongoing
thing. And I didn't know at the time what was happening, but I had some, but I remember asking
my mom much later in life, like what happened that night? Because I've had, like, I've had
bad dreams around that night. I had, there was like a lot of things around that.
So I think just forgiving them, because sure heck don't want to be tied to that anymore.
And, and I also know that when I was thinking about that, some of my anger was in my masks and even just trying to be the protector.
So much for my siblings that I wasn't able to, to have that soft side, like, or even the feel.
Like, I think there's like something there's been twisted in there with even being attractive about wanting that.
It's not wanting that type of attention, you know, or not that that's attention, but I didn't want that, you know.
Yeah.
Yes, so good.
So here's a couple things and then I'm going to come, we have time for the last two ladies, so I can't take any more hands up.
Just want to let you all know, because I don't want to leave anybody out because I know it's super important, but I do have to start to close this up.
Breaking soul ties, even if you've already watched it, I would encourage you to watch it again.
Anyone that's really struggling with some kind of deep trauma.
I don't know if you guys saw, a couple ladies were sharing like how that was a huge revelation for them, that you can actually have a soul tie with a trauma.
It's not just soul ties with people, we can actually have soul ties with trauma.
So much so that we don't know how to live apart from the state of that trauma.
Does that make sense?
So you may want to consider watching that again.
And then want to encourage you just to, you know, maybe ask the Lord Elizabeth to help you practice some feminine femininity this week as well in the little kind of having playful and really letting yourself, you know, be seen.
To be seen.
So whatever that means for you, because you were saying that in that mask of protector, sometimes even attention from men is kind of what I was interpreting.
I might have heard it incorrectly, but that's kind of what I heard coming through.
And to me, that makes total sense too, that your thing you're forgiving is something where your mom was attacked and you didn't feel safe and she wasn't safe.
So then that connects to not wanting attention from men.
So you see how this all, this guys, this is where, why it's so important.
It all weaves together into things and how we show up or don't show up in the world today.
All right, Corey, go ahead.
Hi, sorry.
Hi.
Okay.
So for me, I realized, you know, like they were saying, it's a lot of layers, but for me, I grew up overseas on the mission field.
And when I was one of those, like my parents wanted to be missionaries and oops, I came along and that wasn't going to change.
So they kept, you know, with their plan and stuff.
And so as a lack of attachment with my mom, my parents, when I was really, really little, because I stayed all day with the sitters.
And then when they picked me up, it was, I was already asleep.
So I didn't have that.
And then when I got older, we were in like war torn countries.
And so it was a lot of fear of like, even like survival of the night.
Like we had to have these walkie talkies with the embassy, the US embassy to like, they would give us a code with where we would stay.
And like the next morning they would check in to see if we made it through the night kind of thing.
And so that was a very fearful time of my life.
And I remember asking like my dad.
Now, I don't know if he even remembers this, but I asked my dad, well, like, what would happen if I died?
You know, you're on this mission field.
I was like 11 at the time.
And what would happen?
He was like, well, Abraham sacrifice, you know, Isaac for, you know, ministry or whatever.
And so that to me, I was like, oh, I'm a sacrifice.
And then like later on, like I would, life was just so hard.
And I'm like, well, why do I have to suffer?
My parents were like, well, you're suffering for someone else's, you know, whatever, a ministry to someone else.
And I'm like, I don't want to be like, I would love to help somebody, but I don't want to go through the pain.
You know, somebody else like.
I just, it was horrible. And then like, they sent me off to
boarding school. And I went to boarding school for years, and
they came back here. And just there's just so many things with
my parents that have been a struggle. But like, even going
to boarding school, when I came home, I was like, clinging to my
mom, and she would like lock herself in the bathroom, it was
like, I was too much. And then I would go off for another three
months, you know, and then I just like, want somebody. And so
like, since little, little, I've always wanted somebody. And
I've always felt alone, you know, like, I've never had
anyone, like, I've never had siblings, or anyone. And so like,
I just realized over the years, and I've forgiven them. But it's
just like, layer upon layer, you know, even animals, pets
that I've had that they've had killed because of whatever
reason, like, it's just thing after thing. And it's trying to
forgive them all the name of Christian, you know, like, using
it distorted my view of God to, you know, yes. So I don't know.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I think the biggest thing
is that, because there's a lot, I think starting with one first
and asking the Lord to help you process that part of it, and
then move to the next part, because sometimes y'all when
we're trying to deal with it all at once, it can get very
overwhelming, and we feel like we're not making progress. And
so if you ask the Lord to help you, like, I would say,
honestly, the thing with the boarding school, you coming home
and trying to cling to your mom, and her going and shutting
yourself in there in the bathroom, that to me sounded
like a very like, it was all kind of emotional for you and
hard, but that when I could hear a lot more pain and emotion
rising to the surface. And so that's how I started to
recognize where there's what I call I this is my own label for
more heat to something. Okay, so more emotion, more, more energy,
more pain, kind of surrounding that. So I would encourage you
to start there. Because then that's what led you to to the
part where you felt like basically abandoned, like you
didn't have anybody. And so God coming in and healing that area
and showing you what does it mean to feel fully accepted,
fully loved, fully embraced is what I hear the Holy Spirit
saying, like, what does it mean? And I know God doesn't we
can't, like experience him in the sense of him reaching down
and hugging us right in the physical, but you know what he
sends, he sends his people. He sends his kids to come and hug
us and love us and, and show us what love looks like. So I would
encourage you even to ask the Lord. It's not like you're being
desperate. You're just saying, God, I really, I need to feel
your love with skin on. So can you send me someone to show me
what love looks like? And just keep allowing him to come in and
heal and layer by layer, this will this will pass, what you
feel now will pass. And I believe, um, here's the other
thing I want to encourage you. So I've never been close to my
sister. My entire life, we've never been close. And I was
always so sad because I have always wanted to be close to
her, but she, it just really has never been possible because
of where she's at health, like mentally, but she just carries a
lot of shame for mistakes she made anyways. So I prayed for
years, like, God, I want a sister. I want a sister. Y'all,
I like have two sisters now because I met my husband and the
one in particular, like, we're so similar in some ways. And it
just seems so like God to not just bring me my spirit mate,
but to bring me some sisters. And then I have amazing friends
that act like my sisters. And so I know it's not the same, you
know, when we want siblings, or we want certain things, but you
all God can again, it's like he can make it like that pain. It's
like, we know it was there, but we don't feel like it was there
anymore. So that makes sense. It starts to heal and meant. All
right, we're at 939. So I got to be careful here. I could go on
forever. Y'all Tanya, go ahead.
Yes, um, thank you so much. It's very difficult for me to
share. Um, last year, I'm having trouble forgiving my mother. Last
year. Last year, I found out through a DNA test that my
sister took that we are half sisters. Now I'm 61 years old,
and my mother
Thank God, she's still alive.
She'll be 87 this year.
It has just took my breath away the whole year.
It even had an onset of asthma that I never had,
that I'm still struggling with,
and I believe it's rooted with that information
and the struggle that I'm having in forgiving her.
I confronted her.
I thought, nicely, Mom,
I know that how we were brought up,
I know we were abused, blah, blah, blah.
If Daddy is not my biological father,
and he passed away five years ago, it's okay.
I was trying to make it real,
and she said, he is.
She said that to me, he is.
But when I look at my sister,
she looks just like them.
And it has just disturbed everything,
uprooted everything in my life,
and I'm struggling with it.
So for me to even say it,
bringing it to light,
I know it's gonna be some healing.
So thank you for letting me be the last.
I was one that I got cut off,
and I was like, oh good, I'm cut off.
And I was like, listen, I'm not a novice.
I know this is the enemy,
so I gotta get back on.
But thank you, Bethany.
You're welcome.
So here's the thing I heard for you.
Sometimes you all, when we have things like this
that are revealed,
where it really feels like our root system is disrupted,
because who you thought was your full sister
is now your half sister,
and then there's other things that you're finding out
that is revealing maybe an untruth, if you will.
What I heard the Lord say is like,
to really encourage you to lean into
what it means to be rooted in the Lord.
Because you all, from the beginning of time,
when we were created, God formed us.
He chose us.
Some of you guys have even shared,
like some of your parents told you that you weren't wanted.
And even when Corey was sharing,
our parents may not have planned us, you all,
but God always had a plan for us.
He always did.
If we are here, God had a plan for us.
And so what does it mean to be rooted in the Lord
and to know what it's like to allow everything
to come from that place of safety and security?
To be rooted in Him and allow that to heal
and create waves, basically,
of healing into the other areas
where you feel uprooted right now.
Does that make sense?
It makes sense.
Okay.
And I've been trying to process that for a whole year.
Yeah.
And it doesn't mean that that is going to go away
or be like quickly easy.
But I do believe that as you meditate
on like who you're rooted in and that you're rooted in Him
and that He's never gonna leave.
He's never gonna say, I'm not your dad.
He formed you.
Like, He's always gonna be your father in heaven.
That's not gonna change.
And so that is something you can cling to
that's unchanging and is fortified and strong.
Ladies, we are at 943.
I'm so glad that you all have been here tonight.
I hope that God is ministering to you in mighty ways.
I'm gonna pray us out.
We don't typically go this long,
but I really felt like the Lord was on so much
of what was happening tonight.
Father, we thank you.
We thank you for your truth.
We thank you for your hope, for your healing.
God, we thank you that you would just,
would just cover every one of these tender areas
in the lady's hearts.
We know the enemy would love to come in
and just kill, steal, and destroy quickly
and or assault them in some way through just his words
and his slander and his lies.
But Lord, we thank you that you would protect them.
We thank you that you guard and keep watch over them
and their families.
Lord, help them to hear what your spirit is saying
louder than any voice of the enemy.
Help them to step further into healing tonight
and in the days ahead.
Help them to know you as a good father,
a father that is kind, a father that is faithful,
a father that never gives up on them.
God, I thank you that you never leave us.
You never forsake us.
God, you promised that you go before us into all things.
So Lord, when we are struggling to forgive,
God, thank you that you've already gone before us
and you've made a way for us to.
It looks like she froze.
Yes.
Thank you so much for all the ladies that are here and all of the things that are heavy
on their hearts.
Lord, I know that you've got them.
Help them to believe.
Help them to rest in you.
Help them to know that you are their comforter and that they can just cozy up like a warm
blanket and just sit with you, Lord, and that you will take care of them and you are there
for them, Lord, and they can rest in that, Lord.
Let us not strive, strive, strive, Lord, but let us relax and sit in you and your wisdom
and your love, Lord.
Thank you for all you're doing for everybody.
Thank you, Lord, for this group.
Thank you for all the women.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.
Okay, ladies.
I don't know if she's coming back, so I think she was going to call it a night anyways.
So bye.
