00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
Welcome to Supernatural Saturday. Like always if you're new here, you're in for a treat

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:07.900
This is a time when as a community we gather together

3
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:12.140
We lean into heaven for what is the current prophetic reality of our lives?

4
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:20.100
There's a current prophetic reality friends and it's important that we are seeking God not just corporately together for that but individually

5
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:25.240
Right. God is always speaking. And so father God, we thank you that we are able to come together

6
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:27.520
today and

7
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:28.960
seek you

8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.640
To seek your face to hear your voice to allow you to encourage us to allow you to give us clarity and direction

9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:43.200
To to let you guide our feet in your word as you tell us that you are a light to that path

10
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.200
And so Lord, we thank you. We thank you for that and we're expecting we come with the anticipation

11
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:49.520
We're in a new season

12
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.600
We come with anticipation of all the things that you want to let us in on

13
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.000
You you tell your secrets to your friends and we are your friends this morning Lord

14
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.480
And so we thank you for that privilege and honor in Jesus name. Amen

15
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:04.360
Right first. I want to start with this thought

16
00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:09.640
So when I woke up this morning God put a specific Psalm on my heart. We're gonna dig into that Psalm in just a minute

17
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:14.160
okay, but before that I want to lay a little groundwork and

18
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.600
The groundwork is this

19
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.040
Things can change overnight

20
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:29.760
Things can change overnight. I want to give you that idea. I want to put that that

21
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:37.320
Ideology in your heart this morning and we see over and over and over again in the Word of God

22
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.820
When things changed in a moment

23
00:01:42.440 --> 00:01:44.440
They changed overnight

24
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.120
People went to bed in one state and they woke up in another state

25
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.280
That's why the psalmist says that you've turned my morning into dancing

26
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:56.960
Weeping endured for the night, but joy came in the morning time

27
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.640
Come on, you guys we got to get a hold of this. It's important. One of the banners over this

28
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:07.200
Movement is Amos 913, which is the scripture of sudden leaves

29
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:10.840
Okay, I know everyone loves the suddenly

30
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.040
Everyone loves the suddenly but this is what I want to say

31
00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:18.640
Also in conjunction with what I'm saying now is that even though there are those?

32
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:25.040
Turnarounds those swift turnarounds that happen a lot of times. There's a lot of other things that went into them

33
00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:29.200
There's a lot of prayer that went into them. There was a lot of you know fasting that went into them

34
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.600
There was a lot of consecration that went into them. But here's something that I want to submit to you this morning

35
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:36.600
Maybe it wasn't yours

36
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.080
Maybe it wasn't your prayer. It wasn't your fasting. It wasn't even your submission

37
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:49.660
I'm gonna talk about Psalm 126. You can go ahead and get that open and ready. I'm gonna read from the NIV essentially

38
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:54.280
But if we go back to the book of Hebrews the great hall of faith

39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.920
Hebrews 11 we see that there are people that we're standing on the shoulders up

40
00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:06.880
Come on you guys we got to get a hold of this this morning. It's important that you understand. This is not all about you

41
00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:14.160
We're standing on the shoulders of those people and you know, I always hated that, you know, they'd say in church

42
00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:20.480
Oh, yeah, you know your children in the next generation, you know, they're their floor is your ceiling kind of thing

43
00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:23.640
And you're like what? I'm still alive. Hello. I'm still here

44
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:31.200
Hello, I haven't even built the house. What are you talking about? But Hebrews 11 and that's what it's talking about

45
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:33.480
That's what it's talking about

46
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:37.720
These people that came before us they pioneered they charted a course for us

47
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.040
It goes on and on and on in those

48
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:46.260
scripture in that scripture and that passage of scripture about what they did and what they faced and what they

49
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.800
Believed God through what they persevered through they didn't give up

50
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.640
They kept going some of them that are listed in that list made some huge mistakes

51
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.740
Mistakes that a lot of people would say. Oh, man, you know what?

52
00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:05.020
I'm just gonna give up now because I'm a hot mess Express, but they did it. They didn't give up

53
00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:09.140
They got back up. They let God dust them off and they kept going forward

54
00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:15.980
But then it goes on to say that they didn't even receive like the biggest prize, right? They didn't even receive the promises

55
00:04:17.260 --> 00:04:23.140
I'm sure that they had some breakthrough in their lives, but they didn't receive what we are living in

56
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:28.380
Now we are living in a day and time when the knowledge of God has increased so much

57
00:04:29.460 --> 00:04:33.260
That we have Jesus on sweatshirts for Christmas saying happy birthday

58
00:04:34.580 --> 00:04:35.980
Okay

59
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:40.180
We got all kinds of crazy stuff you you get to pick you get to pick

60
00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:43.420
What you're going to listen to and what you're going to follow

61
00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:47.900
You know without the threat of penalty of death over your head

62
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:54.020
Because we live in a time of freedom of freedom of choice, especially in America like never before

63
00:04:54.020 --> 00:05:00.060
Okay, there's all kinds of things that are happening that those people paved the way for and so

64
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800
Oh, when we're talking about seven leagues,

65
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.480
when we're talking about waking up,

66
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.280
going to sleep in one state and waking up in another,

67
00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:09.520
you have to understand that it's not just about,

68
00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:11.400
you know, your faith.

69
00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:14.720
It's about the faith of those that have come before you.

70
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.160
That only changes everyone else.

71
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.760
Okay guys, you gotta stay muted.

72
00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:21.160
Make sure that you guys are muted.

73
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.000
All right.

74
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.880
So the faith of people that came before you,

75
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.480
all of that culminating,

76
00:05:28.520 --> 00:05:30.800
the faith of maybe your ancestry.

77
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:31.920
And even though you might think

78
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.820
you're first generation Christian,

79
00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:36.260
that is probably not correct.

80
00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:39.360
Someone back in your lineage,

81
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.920
and you've lost track of them.

82
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.600
Most people, most of us don't even know

83
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.120
who our great, great grandparents were.

84
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.440
We don't even know their names.

85
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.160
That's sad, but it's true.

86
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.960
Okay, because our families don't tell the tales

87
00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:54.460
like they once did.

88
00:05:54.460 --> 00:05:55.760
All right.

89
00:05:55.760 --> 00:05:57.400
That's how families used to keep records.

90
00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.040
They used to tell stories.

91
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.760
And I've heard some of the stories

92
00:06:00.760 --> 00:06:04.200
of my grandparents and my great-grandparents.

93
00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:06.240
But my great-great-grandparents, I have no idea.

94
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.640
I don't know what their names are.

95
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:10.680
My great-great-great-grandparents, nope, don't know.

96
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.920
And on and on and on.

97
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.520
So somewhere back in your lineage,

98
00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:19.560
somewhere back there, somebody was a friend of God.

99
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.560
And that's how you got here, my friend.

100
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.200
You got here because why?

101
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.600
Because their ceiling is your floor.

102
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.600
You get to talk to God.

103
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.400
You get to know God because of the prayers

104
00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:42.340
of someone who lived a long time ago.

105
00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:45.140
Is that powerful?

106
00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:48.320
It's powerful.

107
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.320
And if Christ should tarry,

108
00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:52.040
and he doesn't set up his kingdom on earth

109
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:56.240
during our earthly lifetime, the same will be said of us.

110
00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:00.400
The same will be said of us.

111
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.680
And I know you're like, man, I was born to a bunch of wolves.

112
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.760
Well, yeah, I get it, because people lost faith

113
00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:09.160
somewhere in your family lineage,

114
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.860
but back there, somewhere, somebody was a friend of God.

115
00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:17.760
And if you read through the book of the Chronicles,

116
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:19.640
the book of Kings, you'll see that

117
00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:23.280
not every generation served the Lord,

118
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:26.160
just because the one before it did.

119
00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:27.240
You see that, right?

120
00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:30.560
And so, yeah, sometimes your family line falls off,

121
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.200
but you're where your family line comes back on.

122
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.200
It comes back on.

123
00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:38.820
And if we raise our children in the way that they should go,

124
00:07:38.820 --> 00:07:39.940
we'll stay on.

125
00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:44.000
And on and on and on and on and on, and we want that.

126
00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:46.960
But I say all that to kind of lay the groundwork

127
00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:48.560
of where we're going, because it's important

128
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.560
that we understand that whatever has been happening

129
00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:57.440
in your life, and 2023 was a really hard year.

130
00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:00.400
I want you to raise your hand if 2023 was a hard year

131
00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:02.800
for you, because it was a very hard year for me.

132
00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:05.360
It's a hard year.

133
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.400
It was a year of tears.

134
00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:11.840
It was a year of adversity.

135
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.740
Come on, let's see those hands.

136
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:18.200
Look at all those hands, y'all.

137
00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:19.680
Now, I'm not saying it wasn't a good year.

138
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.520
I'm not saying that God was not good,

139
00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:23.040
because he always is good.

140
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.400
And he was with me, and he helped me,

141
00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:26.960
and he continues to help me.

142
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.360
But there was a lot of adversity in 2023.

143
00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:36.120
And I'd say at least half of you have your hands up

144
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.960
right now saying that you went through some fire

145
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.760
with gasoline underwear on in 2023.

146
00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:48.400
But, and you know, and here's the thing.

147
00:08:48.400 --> 00:08:51.480
I know that we're not supposed to believe

148
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.920
in the new year magic, and turn the calendar page,

149
00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:56.680
and everything's better now.

150
00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:00.040
But what the Lord put in my heart this morning

151
00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:03.440
is that we have to recognize new seasons.

152
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.360
We have to recognize a new season.

153
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.040
We do.

154
00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:12.220
And even though some of the issues that you were dealing

155
00:09:12.220 --> 00:09:17.220
with in 2023 have crossed over into 2024, right?

156
00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:20.540
Your bank account still has $5 in it, okay.

157
00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:22.620
You know, you still have that pain in your knee.

158
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:23.580
I got it.

159
00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:24.500
I get you.

160
00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.100
And I'm not trying to magically, you know,

161
00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:29.400
wish that stuff away for you.

162
00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:34.140
But I am saying that we need to understand

163
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:37.720
that there is more available now.

164
00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:41.460
There's more available now than there was

165
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:42.800
even a couple days ago.

166
00:09:44.020 --> 00:09:45.380
There's more available now.

167
00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:47.460
There's more insight available.

168
00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:48.580
There's more clarity.

169
00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:50.420
There's more wisdom.

170
00:09:51.260 --> 00:09:52.100
There's more direction.

171
00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:56.220
Remember, we cross over into, in 5784 in September,

172
00:09:56.220 --> 00:10:00.220
the year of the door, okay, the decade, really.

173
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:08.680
of, you know, of seeing and being able, we're in the decade of seeing, okay, as far as Hebraically,

174
00:10:08.680 --> 00:10:12.560
but now we're in the year of seeing the open door.

175
00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:14.120
Come on, y'all.

176
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:21.060
And then 2024, which is the year that intersects with it, is also the year of the open door.

177
00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:26.640
That four in Hebrew is actually not just a number, it's also a letter, and that letter

178
00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:30.480
means door.

179
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.680
It means door.

180
00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:41.560
Doors of favor, doors of provision, doors of relationship, doors to your dreams, the

181
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:50.400
dreams to be fulfilled of your heart, doors, and not just any door, open doors.

182
00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:53.240
Open doors.

183
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.240
Open doors.

184
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.000
And so, Lord, we just look to you right now to help us to understand that we don't have

185
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:05.360
to have the same year in 2024 that we had in 2023.

186
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.960
Just ask that you increase, increase our persevering faith right now.

187
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.680
Increase that inside each and every heart.

188
00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:17.840
Guys, it's really easy to get into a rut.

189
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.280
It's really easy to get into a pattern of just getting up and going through the same

190
00:11:22.280 --> 00:11:26.880
old motions again and again and again and again.

191
00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:32.560
And so I'm going to ask you, right, under what I believe is the anointing of the Holy

192
00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:35.920
Spirit, to change it up.

193
00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:37.920
I'm going to ask you to change it up.

194
00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:42.840
You ever heard that saying that says, you know, do the same thing, get the same results?

195
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.800
In fact, there's a saying that says that, you know, doing the same thing over and over

196
00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:53.080
again and expecting to get different results is actually the definition of insanity, right?

197
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.640
But it really isn't.

198
00:11:56.640 --> 00:12:02.160
It's just really the definition of just being stuck in a rut, right?

199
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:05.320
A lot of us, a lot of us experience that.

200
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.000
We don't know what else to do, so we just keep doing what we're doing.

201
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:14.480
But what I know, because I used to sew, anyone else used to sew or you still sew?

202
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.600
And I wasn't good at sewing with a pattern.

203
00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:21.680
I think that you guys all know me well enough to know that I don't follow directions very well.

204
00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:24.680
I don't.

205
00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:28.400
It's a gift, and also it has been not a gift.

206
00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:33.480
But I have a hard time with rules, and I have a hard time with boundaries, you know, not

207
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.600
relational boundaries, but maybe, and I have a hard time with directions.

208
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.640
I kind of just want to wing it and do what I want to do.

209
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.040
Seriously though.

210
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.520
Okay, so I was a great free sewer.

211
00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:51.040
I would take clothes, I would make them into other clothes, I would cut them up.

212
00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:54.480
I just had like a vision in my mind of what I wanted to do.

213
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.720
I used to take jeans and make them into like long, hippie, bohemian jean skirts.

214
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.680
I used to do all kinds of crazy stuff.

215
00:13:00.680 --> 00:13:05.160
But when I would try to sew with a pattern, it wouldn't be that great.

216
00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:07.360
But that's not going to be my point right now.

217
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.520
My point is, is that if you are someone who is able to sew with a pattern, follow the

218
00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:19.800
directions, every single time that pattern is going to, you know, for all intents and

219
00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:22.520
purposes, it's going to produce the same product.

220
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:25.920
It is.

221
00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.760
That's why it's called a pattern.

222
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:37.040
Every time that you follow it, it is going to produce the same product.

223
00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:40.920
And, you know, if you don't sew, you can, someone said something about cooking in the

224
00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:42.240
chat, same thing.

225
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:49.680
If you follow the recipe to a T, then you're going to get the same product.

226
00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:55.280
If all the variables, the heat on the oven, everything is the same, barring some kind

227
00:13:55.280 --> 00:14:00.280
of weird situation, you're going to get a very similar product every single time.

228
00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:04.680
But what I love about this, and this is what Holy Spirit wants us to hear this morning

229
00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:10.000
before we jump into the psalm, now listen and listen intently right now.

230
00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:16.560
If you vary that pattern even a little bit when sewing, just a little bit, you leave

231
00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:20.280
out one part of it, you're going to get something different.

232
00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:21.280
You change one part of it.

233
00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:24.960
You put this here and that there, you're, it doesn't have to be a huge change, just

234
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.240
even a small change, you're going to get a different product.

235
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.200
Same thing with a recipe.

236
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.480
You're going to get a different product.

237
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:41.400
I'm a pretty good cook because cooking, like cooking, you can improvise, but baking, you

238
00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:43.480
cannot improvise in baking.

239
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.920
Not very much, right?

240
00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:48.440
You leave out the baking soda, the baking powder, you're done, right?

241
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.720
You put too much in, then you get exploding cookies like I did one time.

242
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.720
I accidentally put in too much baking powder and the cookies literally exploded like pop

243
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.200
rocks in people's mouths.

244
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:58.200
I don't bake anymore.

245
00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.960
That's not my thing.

246
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.520
You got to pay attention to what you're doing there, and I don't like to pay attention.

247
00:15:08.520 --> 00:15:13.640
But you guys, I hope that you see just in these few moments this morning that if you

248
00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:19.640
will just change up a little bit of how you've been coming at this, you can get a different

249
00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:20.640
product.

250
00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:27.160
Come on, y'all, hear the word of the Lord.

251
00:15:27.160 --> 00:15:30.720
I know at the beginning of the year, people want to make these huge sweeping changes,

252
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.880
and they're not sustainable.

253
00:15:31.880 --> 00:15:35.880
They want to make these huge changes, and you wake up on January 1st, you want to change

254
00:15:35.880 --> 00:15:36.880
your whole life.

255
00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:37.880
You're like, oh, I'm getting up.

256
00:15:37.880 --> 00:15:41.720
I never drank a glass of water in my life, but I'm going to drink 100 ounces of water

257
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.720
today.

258
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.480
Yeah, you're going to be on the toilet all day long.

259
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.480
That's where you're going to be.

260
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.560
I'm going to drink 100 ounces of water.

261
00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:50.200
I never ate a piece of fruit in my life.

262
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.360
I'm going to eat fruit today.

263
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.360
I'm going to do this.

264
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.360
I'm going to exercise.

265
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.360
I'm going to go to the gym.

266
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:55.960
I'm going to exercise for an hour.

267
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.120
You guys, that's not sustainable.

268
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.560
You might do it for a day or two, you're going to be super sore, okay, you're going to be

269
00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:08.040
peeing all day long, your body's not used to that much hydration.

270
00:16:08.040 --> 00:16:13.840
It's just not going to stick two weeks from now, a month from now.

271
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:19.360
It's just not going to.

272
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.560
So it's not going to cause any kind of lasting change, and the kind of change that's going

273
00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:27.160
to cause short term is going to be unfavorable change.

274
00:16:27.160 --> 00:16:30.120
Your muscles are going to be sore, you're going to feel like crap, you're going to be

275
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.440
overhydrated, peeing all day, not able to get anything done, you're running to the bathroom

276
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.200
all day.

277
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:42.440
But what would happen if you woke up and you made a sustainable change?

278
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:48.000
What would happen if you woke up and you just altered one piece of the pattern?

279
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
You know what?

280
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:51.280
Today, I'm going to hydrate.

281
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:53.680
I'm chronically dehydrated.

282
00:16:53.680 --> 00:17:00.480
What if today, I bought myself a 24-ounce water bottle, and I just had a goal of making

283
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:05.040
sure that I drank at least one of these today?

284
00:17:05.040 --> 00:17:13.319
And then maybe a week or two later, maybe I can get two of these in this week.

285
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:18.240
What if I decided I'm going to get 5,000 steps in today?

286
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.000
You guys, that's really not a lot of steps.

287
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.760
If you're doing anything besides just sitting, you're getting in that in.

288
00:17:24.760 --> 00:17:29.440
What if I up that to 6,000?

289
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.800
I'm getting in those steps.

290
00:17:31.800 --> 00:17:36.280
What if I joined a gym and I simply walked on the treadmill?

291
00:17:36.280 --> 00:17:40.080
I made a goal to walk to get there and walk on that treadmill, so I'm just walking on

292
00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:41.080
the treadmill.

293
00:17:41.080 --> 00:17:43.600
I'm not doing anything crazy.

294
00:17:43.600 --> 00:17:44.600
I'm building up.

295
00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:45.600
What am I doing?

296
00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:48.200
I'm changing my pattern.

297
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:53.640
You guys, I will tell you that change lays in your daily routine.

298
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.640
That breakthrough lays in your daily routine.

299
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.640
I know this.

300
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.240
I know this to be a fact in my own life.

301
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.120
If you can alter, make small alterations to your daily routine, what if when you woke

302
00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:10.720
up in the morning, instead of reaching for your phone and hearing about all the bad things

303
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.560
that are happening in the world because you begin to scroll on social media to see what

304
00:18:15.560 --> 00:18:19.080
happened while you were sleeping, nothing good, y'all.

305
00:18:19.080 --> 00:18:20.080
That's what happened.

306
00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:21.080
All right?

307
00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:26.440
Instead of doing that, aligning your perspective like you are this morning.

308
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.920
A lot of you have been up for hours and hours already, though.

309
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.920
Aligning your perspective with heaven.

310
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:38.920
Guys, there's scripture in the Bible that says physical exercise profiteth little.

311
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.960
All that means is that it's only going to profit you for a little amount of time, meaning

312
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.120
here on this earth during this life.

313
00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:48.400
It's not saying it doesn't profit you because it does.

314
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.520
You can't go anywhere that this body can't take you and it's time you started taking

315
00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:53.560
care of it.

316
00:18:53.560 --> 00:18:57.800
If you want it to take you to the fruition of the dreams God put in your heart, then

317
00:18:57.800 --> 00:19:01.000
you got to start taking care of it.

318
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.880
But that scripture is saying that it profits only for a short amount of time because we're

319
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:12.640
getting new bodies, new bodies that are completely free from the curse, that are not decaying,

320
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.520
that are not falling apart, that we don't have to continually try to keep together.

321
00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:20.960
And so it profits for this life for that little bit of time.

322
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:26.280
But spiritual disciplines, they profit you for eternity, right?

323
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:31.720
And so getting up in the morning and looking to heaven for your day.

324
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.960
God is always speaking.

325
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:34.960
He's always speaking.

326
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.760
And his word says that he's actually looking for someone to do something with.

327
00:19:40.760 --> 00:19:41.760
He is.

328
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.880
2 Chronicles 16.9.

329
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.880
What does it say?

330
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.600
God is looking for people to partner with every single day.

331
00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:48.120
God is looking for someone to partner with.

332
00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.120
Will you be that person?

333
00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:51.520
Because he's not looking for the qualified.

334
00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:54.560
He's looking for the available.

335
00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:58.000
Will you be that person that's available?

336
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.400
Huh?

337
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.760
There's an unprecedented harvest, you guys, and it's been ripe since Jesus was on the

338
00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:06.760
earth.

339
00:20:06.760 --> 00:20:09.640
And God is looking for divine partnership.

340
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:15.720
He's looking for people to show his power through every day, every single day.

341
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:20.560
And so we can do it on our own, whatever it is that we can accomplish.

342
00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:24.120
Some of you are really talented and you can get a lot done.

343
00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:28.640
Kudos to you, but imagine what you could do if you partnered that talent with the supernatural

344
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.360
power of heaven.

345
00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:33.360
You know, I'm one of those gifted people.

346
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:34.760
I was born gifted.

347
00:20:34.760 --> 00:20:36.400
I'm gifted.

348
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.600
And I thank God for that.

349
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:38.600
That's awesome.

350
00:20:38.600 --> 00:20:46.800
But I can only do so much in my human gifts and talents.

351
00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:48.320
I can only do so much.

352
00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:52.760
And for those of you that are gifted and you can get a lot done and you can figure things

353
00:20:52.760 --> 00:20:57.480
out and you can make things happen and, you know, you're successful, you know, and just

354
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.640
that success just kind of follows what you touch and all the things.

355
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:06.560
It's actually kind of an Achilles heel because what happens for people like that is you kind

356
00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:11.720
of start to believe that it's all about you and it's all on you and you don't partner

357
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.520
with heaven because, you know, you can do good things on your own.

358
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:20.720
You can get a lot done on your own.

359
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.620
And then you're missing out on the supernatural.

360
00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:25.880
You're missing out on what could happen if you would partner with God.

361
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.880
And the rest of you, you're like, man, you know, I was just born with just, you know,

362
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.720
I was born behind, behind in a lot of ways.

363
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.160
And I've always felt like I've been catching up my whole life.

364
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.160
Well, you know what?

365
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:38.160
That's good.

366
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.200
Because the Bible says that his strength is made perfect in weakness.

367
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:47.320
And if you know that you're weak and you don't have all these, you know, highfalutin ideas

368
00:21:47.320 --> 00:21:50.760
of what you can accomplish in your own strength, then you're actually probably going to live

369
00:21:50.760 --> 00:21:58.320
a way more supernatural life than people who think that they got it together.

370
00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:04.840
So that's exciting because, quite frankly, what we can accomplish in the natural, even

371
00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:09.000
the most gifted and the most talented person, is nothing compared to what God can do in

372
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:12.600
a moment when you surrender to the supernatural.

373
00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:19.200
You couldn't accomplish in your entire lifetime what God could accomplish through you, through

374
00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:21.240
surrendering in a moment.

375
00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:23.680
In a moment.

376
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:33.760
So we want, we want to be the laborers in that unprecedented harvest, and God is looking

377
00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:34.800
for divine partnership.

378
00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:36.560
He is.

379
00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:38.440
He's looking for divine partnership.

380
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:43.960
And when we get into, and I had this thought when I woke up this morning, that in 2024,

381
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.360
the wind is at our back.

382
00:22:45.760 --> 00:22:47.600
Friends, I want to release that over you this morning.

383
00:22:47.600 --> 00:22:50.120
The wind is at your back.

384
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:55.400
You might have felt like you were walking into it all during 2023, walking into the

385
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:55.720
wind.

386
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.160
Just imagine yourself walking into the wind.

387
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.440
It's a strong wind.

388
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.360
And with every step, it's a struggle.

389
00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:05.000
Every step to go forward, it's a struggle.

390
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.520
And sometimes you just got to stop and you have to steady yourself because the wind is

391
00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:10.640
in your face so much.

392
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.960
You got to steady yourself because you feel like you might get blown away.

393
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:20.000
But I have been in nature when I was walking into the wind and then all of a sudden, for

394
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.280
whatever reason, the wind shifted and then the wind was at my back.

395
00:23:23.320 --> 00:23:24.600
You guys have experienced that.

396
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:27.840
It can happen in a moment, can't it?

397
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:29.160
The wind can shift.

398
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:35.360
This is why tornado season is so dangerous because you don't know what's going to happen

399
00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:40.040
because all that has to happen is like, oh, well, all that weather's over there.

400
00:23:40.600 --> 00:23:45.840
But if the wind shifts, then in a very short amount of time, that weather that was

401
00:23:45.840 --> 00:23:48.720
somewhere else is now upon you.

402
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:50.880
Why?

403
00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:52.080
Because the wind shifted.

404
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:54.480
Think about that.

405
00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:55.520
That's the thing.

406
00:23:56.560 --> 00:23:57.440
The wind shifted.

407
00:24:04.800 --> 00:24:10.000
I believe that when we entered into 2022, we were in a situation where we were

408
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.360
in 2024, the wind shifted.

409
00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:15.600
The wind shifted.

410
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.240
And you're like, you know, why wouldn't God always make it easy for us?

411
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.120
Well, first of all, God is never making it hard for us.

412
00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:28.760
We have to let go of those religious ideas.

413
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.160
We have to let go of those religious ideas.

414
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:38.600
It's very important that we begin to release the idea that God is not for us.

415
00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:41.320
He is for us.

416
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.520
For those of you that are parents or for those of you that had good parents, maybe

417
00:24:48.520 --> 00:24:50.240
you're not a parent, but you've had good parents.

418
00:24:50.800 --> 00:24:55.080
Your parents didn't always make things simple for you.

419
00:24:57.120 --> 00:24:57.520
Right.

420
00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:59.640
They weren't cutting up your meat for you.

421
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.280
when you were 12 years old and feeding it to you.

422
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:06.760
They weren't.

423
00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:12.640
I remember more than one time that one of my children

424
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.800
said to me something like,

425
00:25:13.800 --> 00:25:17.000
oh, life is hard.

426
00:25:20.560 --> 00:25:22.560
And then you think to yourself as an adult person

427
00:25:22.560 --> 00:25:23.920
who knows the truth about life,

428
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.800
you think to yourself,

429
00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:28.440
kid, if you think it's hard,

430
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:29.800
you ain't seen nothing yet.

431
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:36.000
Life is hard because they have to clean their room.

432
00:25:39.760 --> 00:25:43.440
Because they have to eat their vegetables,

433
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.120
whatever it is that makes life so hard.

434
00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:50.080
And you guys, God is not different than that

435
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.800
in the way that he's a good father

436
00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:57.800
and he knows what we have need of before we even ask.

437
00:25:58.760 --> 00:26:01.520
All right, and I know that when we hear that scripture

438
00:26:01.520 --> 00:26:03.280
and when we quote that scripture,

439
00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:06.000
a lot of times we're quoting it with the mindset,

440
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.400
yeah, you know, God knows what I need,

441
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:09.120
he's gonna give it to me.

442
00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:10.800
But we're thinking of like blessings

443
00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:13.520
and abundance and increase and yes,

444
00:26:13.520 --> 00:26:15.200
yeah, that is a thing.

445
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.960
But sometimes God knows the type of discipline you need,

446
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:20.880
the type of correction that you need.

447
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.880
Please hear this through a heart of love

448
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.040
and not a place of legalism or condemnation.

449
00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:29.280
Sometimes God knows that you're going 100 miles an hour,

450
00:26:29.280 --> 00:26:33.920
literally towards a road that ends in a cliff.

451
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.320
He knows that you're doing that.

452
00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:41.160
He does.

453
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:42.640
And so putting some stops in,

454
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.920
yeah, that's a loving father, putting some stops in

455
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.280
so you can slow down a little bit.

456
00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:51.760
And you guys, those stops never come

457
00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:52.800
in the form of sickness,

458
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:55.120
they never come in the form of disease,

459
00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:56.280
they don't come in the form

460
00:26:56.280 --> 00:26:59.400
of any kind of tragedy or accident.

461
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:01.080
Please let go of that.

462
00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:03.520
Please let go of that.

463
00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:06.480
I can't tell you how many people have come to me

464
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.760
because a loved one was on the wrong course

465
00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:11.080
and they've asked me to pray that, you know,

466
00:27:11.080 --> 00:27:13.160
that, you know, something would happen to them

467
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.880
that would wake them up, like something bad.

468
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:16.640
I'm like, I ain't praying that.

469
00:27:19.800 --> 00:27:24.160
I'm sorry, sir, ma'am, but that's not the way prayer works.

470
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:28.360
The Bible says it's the goodness of God

471
00:27:28.360 --> 00:27:30.080
that leads people to turn around.

472
00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:31.360
Come on, y'all.

473
00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:34.560
It's the goodness of God that leads people to repentance.

474
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.800
We're going after the spirit of religion this morning.

475
00:27:38.800 --> 00:27:41.400
Guys, I've had a steady, steady stream

476
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:42.920
of the spirit of religion.

477
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.520
Guys, you know that I run ads now for our movement,

478
00:27:46.520 --> 00:27:48.360
which is bringing in all kinds of new men and women,

479
00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:49.560
so that's amazing.

480
00:27:49.560 --> 00:27:53.440
But y'all, the people that show up to comment on my ads,

481
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:55.280
they are straight thugs.

482
00:27:55.280 --> 00:27:57.440
They are straight religious thugs.

483
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.320
I'm serious.

484
00:27:58.320 --> 00:28:01.680
The stuff that they say is so mean.

485
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.160
It's so mean.

486
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.480
And I'm like, hmm, help me, Holy Spirit.

487
00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:08.200
Help me, Holy Spirit.

488
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.640
10 years ago, I would not be able to handle these comments.

489
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:12.880
I'd be like, look,

490
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.240
I don't know who you think you're talking to.

491
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.280
I love Jesus, all right, but I ain't playing with you.

492
00:28:17.280 --> 00:28:19.320
That is what I would have been like 10 years ago.

493
00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:20.160
And you know what?

494
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:22.320
That's why God had me doing that 10 years ago.

495
00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:26.840
This is a perfect example of the increase of God

496
00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:30.480
comes without lack, loss, and sorrow.

497
00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:33.440
God isn't gonna give you,

498
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:35.160
he is not gonna give you something

499
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:36.920
that you're not ready for,

500
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.600
but he's gonna be faithful to get you ready for it

501
00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:41.680
because that blessing belongs to you.

502
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.240
He's gonna help you get ready for it.

503
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.600
And so how about this?

504
00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:47.880
How about this?

505
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:50.920
That knows that you're on a crash course

506
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.240
with something that's not good for your life,

507
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.120
and he kind of pulls out the stops.

508
00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:57.000
Maybe it looks like this.

509
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:01.120
Maybe it looks like you have a front row seat

510
00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:06.120
to someone at work who is not forgiving their parent.

511
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.800
They're bitter towards their parent,

512
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:10.880
and you're watching this,

513
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:13.040
and you know that you have unforgiveness towards your parent.

514
00:29:13.040 --> 00:29:15.200
You haven't talked to your parent in years.

515
00:29:16.360 --> 00:29:19.760
And then you see their parent fall ill.

516
00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:21.200
God's not making their parent ill,

517
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.480
but he's allowing you to see,

518
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:26.040
okay, you're having a divine appointment

519
00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:29.080
with another family that's having trouble,

520
00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:31.920
and you're watching it,

521
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:34.680
and you're realizing that, you know what?

522
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.480
Tomorrow's not promised to anybody.

523
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.880
Your heart's beginning to soften.

524
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.360
The hardness of your heart towards your family members

525
00:29:41.360 --> 00:29:42.560
beginning to soften

526
00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:45.000
as you watch what other people are going through

527
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:50.400
so that you don't continue to carry that unforgiveness,

528
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:51.760
which by the way, friends,

529
00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:54.920
turns to resentment, turns to unforgiveness,

530
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:56.280
turns to bitterness,

531
00:29:56.280 --> 00:29:59.720
and bitterness can turn into a whole lot of bad stuff.

532
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.840
We want to get that out, going to get that out right through what? Through

533
00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:11.760
confession, repentance, and forgiveness. And so maybe you get a front-row seat to

534
00:30:11.760 --> 00:30:18.760
that. You know maybe the person, the last person in the world that you would

535
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:25.680
want to have be assigned to sit next to you during the company seminar, the

536
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.320
person that you cannot stand, not really quite sure why you can't stand them, you

537
00:30:29.320 --> 00:30:34.200
just don't like them at all. They actually sit next to you. They're

538
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:41.400
assigned to sit next to you for three days, for the whole weekend. What is that?

539
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:49.440
That's the mercy of God. You're like, oh that's the devil. No, that's the mercy of God. What

540
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:58.520
is that doing? That's helping you. It's helping you to soften your heart. It's

541
00:30:58.520 --> 00:31:02.640
helping you to change your ways. God will sit you right next to the person

542
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.440
that offends the tar out of you, because an offended heart is a hurting heart. A

543
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.440
critical heart is a hurting heart.

544
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:19.800
And yeah, you could just go on your merry way through life and never deal with any

545
00:31:19.800 --> 00:31:23.600
of your stuff, but a lot of times God will bring us to a place where we have

546
00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:27.440
to deal with our stuff. And that's what I'm talking about. He'll put those stops

547
00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:32.320
in. He'll put those stops in so that we can deal with what we need to deal with.

548
00:31:32.320 --> 00:31:37.440
And if we don't deal with it, if we're stubborn, if we resist, then guess what?

549
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:40.280
There'll be another opportunity, and another opportunity, and another

550
00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:49.120
opportunity to change the routine, to do something different.

551
00:31:49.120 --> 00:31:53.320
God's been telling me to do something very specific for a long time, you guys,

552
00:31:53.320 --> 00:31:57.480
and it's not a hard thing to do, but I will tell you that I put it off, and I

553
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.880
put it off, and I put it off, or I wait till the very end. It's a daily thing, and

554
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:05.800
I'll wait till the very end of the day, and then I'll be too tired to get it in.

555
00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:13.360
Too tired to get it in, and then I won't do it. And guess what? I've seen negative

556
00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:17.520
consequences from not getting that done. Negative consequences. Why did God tell

557
00:32:17.520 --> 00:32:22.040
me to do it in the first place? Because he loves me. Because he wants good things

558
00:32:22.040 --> 00:32:28.760
for my life. Because he knows what I don't know, and he knows that me doing

559
00:32:28.760 --> 00:32:35.960
that is going to stave off all kinds of other things. And so finally, one

560
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:42.320
day God just said to me, hey look, you're gonna do this, this, and that.

561
00:32:42.320 --> 00:32:50.600
He said, but if you don't do this, that isn't gonna feel good. That's not gonna

562
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:58.200
be what you want. You got to do this in order to take advantage of that, because

563
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.880
he's a good father.

564
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.760
And when the word says that God corrects the children that he loves, that's what

565
00:33:06.760 --> 00:33:10.320
it means. And a lot of you have to reframe that word correction, because you

566
00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:15.800
came from abusive places, where punishment was called correction. And so

567
00:33:15.800 --> 00:33:20.200
now those words are interchangeable for you. When you read that scripture, you see

568
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:24.640
that God punishes those that he loves. No, he doesn't. There is no punishment, you

569
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:31.680
guys. There is no punishment. Jesus took the punishment upon himself. He took all

570
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:35.920
punishment for sin. You guys, he didn't take some of it. He didn't take the

571
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:38.880
punishment for the sin that was committed before his death. You know, all

572
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.280
the things that people did before Jesus lived and died. He took all of punishment

573
00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:50.680
for all time onto the cross with him. All of it. All of your infirmities, all

574
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:58.560
of your weaknesses, all of your mistakes, all of your sin, past, present, and

575
00:33:58.560 --> 00:34:05.520
future onto the cross. He became punishment. He became the punishment for

576
00:34:05.520 --> 00:34:10.800
sin. He died for you and as you. Please, let's get a hold of that this morning. I

577
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.719
know that is a huge concept and it's hard for our hearts to, it just sounds

578
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:18.880
too good to be true. And then a lot of people don't understand because they

579
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:21.400
think, oh, does that mean I'm just gonna live a reckless life because, you know,

580
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:26.040
Jesus paid it all. No. Actually, when you understand the love that came into and

581
00:34:26.040 --> 00:34:32.560
was behind that sacrifice, it actually restrains you from sin. It actually

582
00:34:32.560 --> 00:34:37.120
causes you to want to live a good life. Like Hebrews 11, those people, they did

583
00:34:37.120 --> 00:34:42.960
some messed up stuff. Okay. They weren't living in most of them. Some of them had

584
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.080
an understanding of a future dispensation of grace, but most of them

585
00:34:46.080 --> 00:34:50.800
were not living in grace. They had the supernatural grace upon them to get up

586
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:56.480
and keep going. You guys, we are living in the finished work of the cross. We are

587
00:34:56.480 --> 00:35:00.000
living in the dispensation of grace, of mercy.

588
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.000
So when you hear the word correction,

589
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:06.460
please don't hear the word punishment

590
00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:08.560
because that is not the definition of it.

591
00:35:10.180 --> 00:35:11.440
When you hear the word correction,

592
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:16.440
I want you to hear like you have your GPS on, right?

593
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:22.020
And you put in your destination and you're driving

594
00:35:22.020 --> 00:35:24.780
and all of a sudden you hear Siri say

595
00:35:26.100 --> 00:35:28.220
that there is a course correction available,

596
00:35:28.260 --> 00:35:32.940
that there's a new, better way available

597
00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:34.700
because maybe there's an accident on the road

598
00:35:34.700 --> 00:35:35.540
that you're on.

599
00:35:35.540 --> 00:35:38.300
Maybe there's bad traffic on the road that you're on.

600
00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:40.940
Maybe there's a road closure on the road that you're on,

601
00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:43.100
a delay, a delay, a detour.

602
00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:47.460
And you hear Siri say,

603
00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:50.220
hey, this isn't the best way anymore.

604
00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:53.740
Would you like, and then it gives you an option.

605
00:35:53.740 --> 00:35:56.700
Do you wanna take the amended route?

606
00:35:56.700 --> 00:35:58.140
Do you wanna push the button and say,

607
00:35:58.140 --> 00:36:00.540
yeah, give me the course correction.

608
00:36:00.540 --> 00:36:03.720
That is what the correction of God is like.

609
00:36:04.660 --> 00:36:07.260
The correction of God is when God comes to you,

610
00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:09.500
maybe in the nighttime when you're just laying there

611
00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:11.240
thinking about all your problems.

612
00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:14.100
Maybe when there's pain in your body

613
00:36:14.100 --> 00:36:16.260
and you don't really know how to solve it

614
00:36:16.260 --> 00:36:17.220
and you're just tired,

615
00:36:17.220 --> 00:36:20.060
you're sick and tired of being sick and tired.

616
00:36:20.060 --> 00:36:22.220
And that still small voice comes and says,

617
00:36:22.220 --> 00:36:24.020
hey, you know, there's a better way.

618
00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:29.860
Maybe it comes through a person

619
00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:31.940
when you go for the checkup and the doctor says,

620
00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:33.140
hey, you know what?

621
00:36:33.140 --> 00:36:34.620
Your sugar's high.

622
00:36:34.620 --> 00:36:36.040
You know, you're borderline diabetic.

623
00:36:36.040 --> 00:36:39.340
You know, you gotta stop eating this junk food.

624
00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:43.180
You guys, those are course corrections.

625
00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:48.120
God corrects the children that he loves.

626
00:36:51.660 --> 00:36:52.500
You guys feeling me today?

627
00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:53.320
You're super quiet.

628
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:54.300
Now all your cameras are off,

629
00:36:54.300 --> 00:36:56.260
so I can't see a living soul.

630
00:36:57.460 --> 00:37:01.300
Where are you?

631
00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:02.580
I'm right here.

632
00:37:02.580 --> 00:37:04.100
My camera's on.

633
00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:05.500
All right, there's someone.

634
00:37:07.180 --> 00:37:08.220
You guys hear me?

635
00:37:10.780 --> 00:37:13.180
That is what the correction of God sounds like.

636
00:37:16.180 --> 00:37:17.480
That's what it looks like.

637
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.780
He wants good things for you.

638
00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.140
He is on your side.

639
00:37:22.140 --> 00:37:24.700
He is your biggest cheerleader.

640
00:37:24.700 --> 00:37:26.620
He knows what you're capable of.

641
00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:31.300
When you surrender those gifts and talents to him,

642
00:37:31.300 --> 00:37:33.640
there ain't nothing that's gonna stop you.

643
00:37:33.640 --> 00:37:34.980
When you surrender your lack,

644
00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:36.580
when I was talking about gifts and talents earlier,

645
00:37:36.580 --> 00:37:37.580
some of you are like, oh,

646
00:37:37.580 --> 00:37:39.020
when God was handing out gifts and talents,

647
00:37:39.020 --> 00:37:40.180
I must have been absent that day

648
00:37:40.180 --> 00:37:41.380
because I don't have any.

649
00:37:41.380 --> 00:37:43.500
And you're probably one of the most talented people here

650
00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:44.700
and you just don't know.

651
00:37:47.380 --> 00:37:48.860
You've never developed yourself

652
00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:50.460
because you were born into a family

653
00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:51.340
that didn't develop you,

654
00:37:51.340 --> 00:37:53.100
that didn't ask you what you loved

655
00:37:53.100 --> 00:37:53.940
and what you liked

656
00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:58.940
and give you the ability to pursue that.

657
00:37:59.300 --> 00:38:03.740
Didn't give you the time to develop that

658
00:38:03.740 --> 00:38:06.180
or the tools to develop that.

659
00:38:06.180 --> 00:38:07.700
That's not too late.

660
00:38:07.700 --> 00:38:08.540
That's the good news.

661
00:38:08.540 --> 00:38:09.360
Not too late.

662
00:38:11.060 --> 00:38:11.900
It isn't.

663
00:38:12.780 --> 00:38:14.500
You guys, there's chronological age

664
00:38:14.500 --> 00:38:16.180
and that's whatever's on your birth certificate,

665
00:38:16.180 --> 00:38:19.380
that year, then do the math.

666
00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:21.160
And then there's biological age.

667
00:38:22.160 --> 00:38:23.880
There's biological age.

668
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.040
You guys, we're not under the curse.

669
00:38:25.040 --> 00:38:28.080
Jesus died so that the curse can be broken.

670
00:38:28.080 --> 00:38:30.800
I know the curse shows up in our lives a lot

671
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.160
in all different types of ways.

672
00:38:33.160 --> 00:38:35.140
And yes, all of us are going to transition

673
00:38:35.140 --> 00:38:38.720
into eternal life one way or another eventually.

674
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:41.440
I get that.

675
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.980
But it does tell me in my Bible

676
00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:46.100
that some people got to transition

677
00:38:46.100 --> 00:38:48.260
and they weren't weak and they weren't frail

678
00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:49.160
and they weren't sick.

679
00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:50.000
Come on.

680
00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:52.200
They weren't, were they?

681
00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:53.020
Why?

682
00:38:53.020 --> 00:38:55.480
Because yes, they chronologically were aging

683
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:57.640
because that's just math.

684
00:38:57.640 --> 00:38:58.480
That's just math.

685
00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:59.300
Say that to yourself.

686
00:38:59.300 --> 00:39:00.240
That's just math.

687
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.600
But they biologically weren't aging

688
00:39:03.600 --> 00:39:06.600
because they were opting out of the curse.

689
00:39:10.560 --> 00:39:13.000
They were making a decision that, you know what?

690
00:39:14.180 --> 00:39:15.280
I don't have to retire.

691
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:16.340
I can refire.

692
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:19.160
Age is just a number.

693
00:39:19.160 --> 00:39:22.040
I don't have to let that dictate how my body feels

694
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:24.760
or what I can go after, what I can accomplish,

695
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:26.240
how I can live my life.

696
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:33.360
They weren't drinking the poison of the culture around us

697
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:35.240
that just says that when you get older,

698
00:39:35.240 --> 00:39:36.400
you know, you're kind of useless.

699
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.160
You should just go warehouse yourself somewhere.

700
00:39:39.160 --> 00:39:41.860
You know, just stay out of the way of the young people.

701
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:45.160
In fact, the young people started calling anybody

702
00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:46.520
older than them boomers.

703
00:39:46.520 --> 00:39:47.920
Did anyone check this out?

704
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.040
You see what's going on with this?

705
00:39:50.040 --> 00:39:51.460
All right.

706
00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:55.720
My kids are Gen Z and millennials, young millennials,

707
00:39:55.720 --> 00:39:59.120
like the youngest millennials born in like 95 and 97.

708
00:39:59.120 --> 00:39:59.960
And then my.

709
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.360
guest is a Gen Z. She's like one of the oldest Gen Z, she's going to be 23. And they came home

710
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.680
talking this boomer smack. And I put the smack down on that immediately. I was like, Hey, listen,

711
00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:19.440
first of all, ain't nobody living in this house a boomer. We're Gen X, you better get it right.

712
00:40:20.240 --> 00:40:26.960
Okay. And Gen X, we're the generation that raised ourselves on the plains of the Serengeti.

713
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:34.320
And we will smack you down. Okay. Ain't no boomers living here. All right. And even if you are part

714
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:39.120
of the baby boom generation, everyone's a boomer to these young people. It's like, but what they're

715
00:40:39.120 --> 00:40:43.440
saying when they say that word is, Hey, you know, just kind of like the hippies of the 60s. Hey,

716
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:50.000
daddy, yo, get out of my way. All right. Get out of here. You know, nobody wants your old

717
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:57.120
mentalities, but there's a lot of richness and wisdom with age, right? There's a lot of important

718
00:40:57.120 --> 00:41:03.600
information, but part of the curse is that no one can learn from anybody else's mistakes. Everybody

719
00:41:03.600 --> 00:41:10.160
wants to make their own mistakes themselves. And y'all that's just not, that's not wise.

720
00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:17.440
That's why in the book of Proverbs book of wisdom, it says, heed the voice of wisdom.

721
00:41:17.520 --> 00:41:21.280
And that voice of wisdom, a lot of times comes from experience and it comes from people

722
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:26.560
that have been there and done that. So stop letting this youth obsessed,

723
00:41:27.600 --> 00:41:31.440
you know why the enemy here, we're going to get off on this. Let's just go ahead and go for it.

724
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:38.160
You know why the enemy makes every single culture, youth obsessed, like these cultures,

725
00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:42.720
Western cultures, you know why it's youth obsessed. Everyone's like going to plastic

726
00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:46.560
surgery, trying to look 25 again. It's all about young people, young people, young people. It's

727
00:41:46.560 --> 00:41:51.840
all about young, young, young, young. The reason why is this is because there's zeal when you're

728
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:56.320
young, but there's no experience. There's no wisdom. And the enemy knows, even in churches,

729
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:03.600
you go to churches and it's all about young pastors trying to dress 27 years old. You know,

730
00:42:03.600 --> 00:42:09.280
it's all about going into pop culture and doing all the things. And the reason why the enemy tries

731
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:14.720
to get people to focus on that is because there's no wisdom there. There's no wisdom in youth.

732
00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:20.800
In fact, the Bible calls it the foolishness of youth, right? And so if everyone's waiting for

733
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:25.520
the young people, the next generation, they're going to change the world instead of understanding

734
00:42:25.520 --> 00:42:33.280
that it's an intergenerational job. Because yes, I love being around young people because they have

735
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:38.160
a lot of zeal and a lot of excitement still, right? They haven't experienced some of the things in

736
00:42:38.160 --> 00:42:42.560
life that you and I have experienced that have caused us to have some wind out of our sails now.

737
00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:48.880
And you get around them and you kind of catch that wind, catch the wind, but you're able to

738
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:54.720
couple that with your life experience and with your wisdom and with your skill, and then you're

739
00:42:54.720 --> 00:43:00.240
unstoppable. But the enemy doesn't want the generations to come together and lock arms.

740
00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:06.080
He wants all the emphasis to continue to be put on youth that's full of zeal, but not full of wisdom.

741
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:12.640
Let's get, let's get, let's get, let's get past that. All right, let's jump into Psalm 126.

742
00:43:15.200 --> 00:43:22.080
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. You guys, when you're

743
00:43:22.080 --> 00:43:27.120
in bondage, remember these are the people that were being released from captivity. This is a song

744
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:33.120
from captivity. This is a song of ascents, a Psalm and a song of ascents,

745
00:43:34.080 --> 00:43:43.120
ascent, the word ascent, like going up. Okay. So this is a, this is, they used to tell these tales.

746
00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:48.320
Think of, think of these songs as stories. Like you ever seen the Marine Corps military,

747
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:52.160
like they're marching and they're like singing a song about something. These are the songs

748
00:43:52.240 --> 00:43:57.680
the pilgrims used to sing as they went to Jerusalem for the Holy holidays.

749
00:43:59.520 --> 00:44:03.520
I don't know if you guys know that about the Psalms of ascents. There's like, I don't know,

750
00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:13.040
14 of them, I think Psalm 120 through 134. Okay. And so these are the stories they would tell.

751
00:44:13.040 --> 00:44:16.160
And so what are they telling in this Psalm? What story are they telling?

752
00:44:17.120 --> 00:44:21.360
They're telling the story about when their ancestors were released from the Babylonian

753
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:25.520
captivity. Isn't that the story that they're telling? They're telling about being released

754
00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:32.320
from captivity. When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed,

755
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:36.080
meaning that when you're in captivity, when you're in bondage, you can't dream.

756
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.160
And that's why one of the biggest things that happen when you do the heart work with our

757
00:44:40.160 --> 00:44:45.360
program is you begin to dream because you're coming out of the bondage of those generational

758
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:51.840
things in your life. Our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with songs of joy.

759
00:44:53.120 --> 00:44:57.920
Then it was said among the nations, the Lord has done great things for them.

760
00:44:58.640 --> 00:44:59.920
The Lord has done great

761
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.160
things for us, and we are filled with joy. Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams and then again.

762
00:45:07.120 --> 00:45:12.800
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping,

763
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:19.760
carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying their sheaves or their harvest

764
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:31.360
with them. You guys, I propose to you that Psalm 126 is the song and the psalm of the year 2024.

765
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:38.800
You will reap a harvest if you don't give up.

766
00:45:40.720 --> 00:45:45.920
Those tears that went out and were sown that are now reaping a harvest in your life,

767
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:49.680
some of them were yours, but some of them were the people that came before you.

768
00:45:50.720 --> 00:45:55.040
You get to walk in the harvest of someone else's intercession.

769
00:45:57.040 --> 00:46:04.880
God is a God of times and seasons, and he has set aside this year to be a year of prosperity

770
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:09.040
and a year of harvest. I know that culture is saying something different. They're saying,

771
00:46:09.040 --> 00:46:12.960
tighten the belt. We're headed for hard times. In America, it's an election year,

772
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:19.600
and you guys already know what that looks like. There is a recession and all the different

773
00:46:19.600 --> 00:46:29.600
things. No, friends, do not opt in to any of that. I've not come to you with empty words of

774
00:46:29.600 --> 00:46:35.760
prosperity gospel, although I will tell you the gospel, the true gospel, is a prosperity doctrine.

775
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:42.400
It is. You don't have to lay in the bed that you made. You can lay in the bed that Jesus

776
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:49.360
made doctrine. It is. That's why it's called the good news. It's not a blab it and grab it or name

777
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:53.680
it and claim it doctrine. You don't just get whatever it is you speak. That's not a real

778
00:46:53.680 --> 00:46:59.520
thing. Otherwise, we'd all be manifest in all kinds of stuff, bad and good. Thank God that it's

779
00:46:59.520 --> 00:47:08.880
not like that. But when you put your faith in Jesus and in what he already accomplished, and

780
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:15.360
you understand that it's not about being punished, but it is about being course-corrected

781
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:22.000
to abundance, and you submit to that correction. The quicker that you submit to it, the better.

782
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:26.160
I'm talking to myself right now. God's been telling me to do this thing for a couple of years

783
00:47:26.160 --> 00:47:31.680
now. I do it sporadically, and then I just don't prioritize it. But I'm going to prioritize it.

784
00:47:31.680 --> 00:47:37.120
I'm telling you today, I'm going to prioritize it. Tomorrow, I'm going to prioritize it. I'm

785
00:47:37.200 --> 00:47:41.680
going to keep doing it because that small change in the pattern is not even a big thing. Guys,

786
00:47:41.680 --> 00:47:46.960
it's a little thing. When I do it, I know that it's going to pay big dividends because God

787
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:55.600
doesn't tell us to do things just to hear himself talk. He loves me. He loves you.

788
00:47:55.600 --> 00:48:03.280
He wants good things for us. We can trust him. If we prioritize

789
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:12.240
what he is telling us to do, then we can live in a Psalm 126 season this year where, yes,

790
00:48:12.240 --> 00:48:18.640
it has been hard, and there has been tears that have been sown, but it's time for joy.

791
00:48:23.120 --> 00:48:26.160
It's time to reap the harvest of those tears.

792
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:43.680
You've got to let go of the religious idea that this life has to be hard.

793
00:48:43.680 --> 00:48:47.280
Yes, there will be times of adversity. There will be hard moments.

794
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:54.560
There will be. There will be trials. But if your whole life is just one big trial,

795
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:56.160
that's not the way.

796
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:04.960
There should be way more joy than sorrow.

797
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:18.880
So whatever that thing is, I want you to step into Psalm 126 season with me. I want to step

798
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:25.120
into it. I want our mouths to be filled with joy. I want us to experience that, yes, we went to bed

799
00:49:25.120 --> 00:49:29.280
this way, but we're getting up a different way. I want us to experience that Amos 9-13 moment.

800
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.720
I do. I believe we can. I believe we're being invited into it.

801
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:43.600
But what is that thing that you're just not doing? What is that small change to the pattern that you

802
00:49:43.680 --> 00:49:49.200
need to make? Is it just remembering to speak life instead of death?

803
00:49:54.160 --> 00:49:59.920
Not to speak concerning your circumstances, but instead to speak concerning

804
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:00.840
And God?

805
00:50:11.600 --> 00:50:13.560
Because what we see is not what we get, friends.

806
00:50:13.560 --> 00:50:15.840
I know that that's a famous saying in the world.

807
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.640
What you see is what you get, no.

808
00:50:17.640 --> 00:50:20.000
What you say and what you pray is what you get.

809
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:26.560
What you pray and what you say is what you get.

810
00:50:26.560 --> 00:50:27.800
Okay, I wanna speak life.

811
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:29.520
Proverbs, the book of wisdom tells us

812
00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:31.000
that death and life are in the power of the tongue

813
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:32.240
and we will eat the fruit of it.

814
00:50:32.240 --> 00:50:33.920
You will eat the fruit of it.

815
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:35.760
Some of you have been some super, super,

816
00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:37.480
super negative Nellies.

817
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:38.840
And I see a shift on you.

818
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:40.040
I see you shifting.

819
00:50:40.040 --> 00:50:41.360
I see you changing.

820
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:42.800
I see you intentionally.

821
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.440
Is it because life is grand and better

822
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.160
and everything's rainbows and butterflies?

823
00:50:46.160 --> 00:50:49.560
No, it's because you are intentionally choosing your words

824
00:50:49.560 --> 00:50:50.880
to align with life.

825
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:54.400
And that is gonna make a huge difference in your life.

826
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:55.280
Huge.

827
00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:56.600
So what is the small change?

828
00:50:56.600 --> 00:50:57.640
Go ahead and put it in the chat.

829
00:50:57.640 --> 00:51:00.880
If you're brave, if you wanna say what it is.

830
00:51:03.200 --> 00:51:05.520
I deal with a lot of inflammation in my body.

831
00:51:05.520 --> 00:51:06.360
You guys a lot.

832
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:10.560
Obviously, I have a very stressful type of job.

833
00:51:12.200 --> 00:51:14.240
A lot, a lot of you don't know this,

834
00:51:14.240 --> 00:51:19.120
but I probably work 14, 16 hours a day serving

835
00:51:19.120 --> 00:51:21.200
the people God has called me to serve.

836
00:51:21.200 --> 00:51:25.600
And I don't regret it and I am built for it.

837
00:51:25.600 --> 00:51:30.600
But prioritizing myself is a constant issue,

838
00:51:33.520 --> 00:51:34.520
constant issue.

839
00:51:35.600 --> 00:51:38.040
And so all God has asked me to do is move my body.

840
00:51:38.040 --> 00:51:39.640
That's it.

841
00:51:39.640 --> 00:51:40.720
That's all he's asked me to do.

842
00:51:40.720 --> 00:51:44.000
He said, Jackie, if you want to get rid of the inflammation,

843
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.680
you have to move your body consistently,

844
00:51:48.680 --> 00:51:52.640
regularly, every day, every day.

845
00:51:52.640 --> 00:51:55.120
And I have a treadmill right outside my bedroom.

846
00:51:55.640 --> 00:51:57.600
I bought it off Facebook Marketplace.

847
00:51:57.600 --> 00:52:01.240
I even put a monitor above it so I could watch worship

848
00:52:01.240 --> 00:52:02.360
and stuff and do something,

849
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:03.960
because it's super boring.

850
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:08.520
And just get on there.

851
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:12.000
Just get on there and walk for 20 minutes.

852
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:13.480
Just do it.

853
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:14.320
And I'll do it.

854
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:16.240
And I'll be like, I feel so good, you guys.

855
00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:17.600
I feel so good.

856
00:52:18.600 --> 00:52:21.680
Inflammation, the stiffness in my hips,

857
00:52:21.680 --> 00:52:24.920
and I have sacroiliac dysfunction,

858
00:52:25.720 --> 00:52:26.840
sciatica, stuff like that.

859
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:28.800
It gets so much better.

860
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.800
And I feel so much better.

861
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:32.920
But then I stopped doing it.

862
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:35.880
I start prioritizing something else that's not myself,

863
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:40.040
that's not my health, that's not my own wellbeing.

864
00:52:40.040 --> 00:52:40.880
Come on, you guys.

865
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:44.840
What is the small change to the pattern

866
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:46.520
that will give you a different product

867
00:52:46.520 --> 00:52:48.480
or a different result in 2024?

868
00:52:50.200 --> 00:52:51.040
What is it?

869
00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:56.120
What is it?

870
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:08.640
Whatever that thing is,

871
00:53:08.640 --> 00:53:10.120
I see some of you putting stuff up.

872
00:53:10.120 --> 00:53:11.880
You guys can look at each other's,

873
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.400
get ideas of maybe what yours are.

874
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.440
We are gonna have activation tomorrow night

875
00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:17.440
for those of you that wanna come

876
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.880
and activate these ideas of Psalm 126,

877
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:24.360
and also this idea of making small alterations

878
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:26.680
in a pattern to get a different result.

879
00:53:26.680 --> 00:53:28.680
And what you're gonna do to kind of stay on there,

880
00:53:28.680 --> 00:53:31.240
what's your accountability to stay on that?

881
00:53:31.240 --> 00:53:34.520
What is God speaking to you that he wants you to change

882
00:53:34.520 --> 00:53:35.720
or he wants you to let go of,

883
00:53:35.720 --> 00:53:39.000
or he wants you to let in in 2024

884
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:43.120
so that we can live that year of joy

885
00:53:43.120 --> 00:53:45.640
and unprecedented harvest?

886
00:53:46.600 --> 00:53:47.840
That is amazing.

887
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:49.320
We will have Prophesy Your Year

888
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:51.000
for all of you that have never done it.

889
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:52.200
I really suggest you do it.

890
00:53:52.200 --> 00:53:53.040
It is life-changing.

891
00:53:53.040 --> 00:53:55.520
It will change your life, okay?

892
00:53:55.520 --> 00:53:57.400
Just a small testimony.

893
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.560
And for those of you that don't know what it is,

894
00:53:59.560 --> 00:54:03.120
we have the prophetic director from Bethel Redding,

895
00:54:03.120 --> 00:54:04.440
California, Lindsay Ryman.

896
00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.960
She comes, and this is her session.

897
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:09.600
She created Prophesy Your Year.

898
00:54:09.600 --> 00:54:12.760
She heads up teaching people how to hear from the Lord

899
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.360
out there at that very prophetic church.

900
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:16.800
And it's amazing.

901
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:17.640
It's simple.

902
00:54:17.640 --> 00:54:19.720
Even for those of you that have never prophesied before,

903
00:54:19.720 --> 00:54:21.840
it's very, very, very simple.

904
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:23.280
She'll just help you to tune in

905
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:25.960
to what God is saying over the year,

906
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.160
your year, month by month.

907
00:54:28.160 --> 00:54:31.160
And then you'll have some confirmations.

908
00:54:31.160 --> 00:54:32.440
You'll have some breakout sessions

909
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:33.600
where other people will tell you

910
00:54:33.600 --> 00:54:35.280
what they're seeing for that month.

911
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:37.800
And it really is an amazing time.

912
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:41.240
In the month of November, I wrote down on my calendar

913
00:54:41.240 --> 00:54:43.400
that some different things

914
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:44.760
that were gonna happen in my life.

915
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:47.600
And then my prophetic partner told me that,

916
00:54:47.600 --> 00:54:49.040
you know, something,

917
00:54:49.040 --> 00:54:50.880
because they don't know what I wrote down, right?

918
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:52.760
And so they're giving you a confirmation

919
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:55.400
without knowing what God told you.

920
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:58.320
And I wrote down what I wrote down from them.

921
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.040
And then they said as it.

922
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.960
The sign that God was really going to do this in November, the thing that they were telling

923
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:10.920
me was that there was going to be a massive transformation in one of the, one of my brothers

924
00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:12.500
or my father.

925
00:55:12.500 --> 00:55:17.020
You guys that same month, well, that obviously didn't, you know, prophesy your years not

926
00:55:17.020 --> 00:55:22.460
during November, but when November rolled around, my older brother, who's been homeless

927
00:55:22.460 --> 00:55:26.140
and mentally ill for 30 years was hit by a car.

928
00:55:26.140 --> 00:55:31.040
He was not killed, but he was in the hospital for a month.

929
00:55:31.040 --> 00:55:38.200
And when I tell you that he has had the most dramatic change in his personality and his

930
00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:43.980
willingness for family to help him, for his willingness to come and finally like live

931
00:55:43.980 --> 00:55:47.960
indoors and live with family, I mean, it's been a crazy transformation.

932
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:50.760
Now you may ask, did God hit him with a car?

933
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:53.220
No, God did not hit him with a car.

934
00:55:53.220 --> 00:55:58.700
But God knew that my brother was going to continue to put himself in places.

935
00:55:58.700 --> 00:56:00.260
I mean, my brother has escaped death.

936
00:56:00.260 --> 00:56:05.100
I can't tell you how many times because of the bad decisions that he's made as a homeless

937
00:56:05.100 --> 00:56:12.060
person for almost 30 years, but you guys, it came true.

938
00:56:12.060 --> 00:56:17.780
It came true what the sign of those things that were prophesied were going to be.

939
00:56:17.780 --> 00:56:20.700
So because that happened with my brother, I was able to look back and say, okay, here's

940
00:56:20.700 --> 00:56:24.780
the things that you said you wanted to do in November in my life.

941
00:56:24.780 --> 00:56:27.820
And the sign to confirm those things actually came to pass.

942
00:56:27.820 --> 00:56:32.580
And so it's a very, very, and so many people have so many supernatural stories about prophesy

943
00:56:32.580 --> 00:56:34.060
your year.

944
00:56:34.060 --> 00:56:40.380
It is obviously a class that is an added price and we kept it as cheap as possible.

945
00:56:40.380 --> 00:56:43.780
It's $45 because it's not our class.

946
00:56:43.780 --> 00:56:47.900
We're bringing in that coach to teach that session live.

947
00:56:47.900 --> 00:56:53.340
It costs $40 if you just do it on your own, you can buy it off their website, but to actually

948
00:56:53.340 --> 00:57:01.380
have the coach that created it coming to actually coach you live for an extra $5, wow, right?

949
00:57:01.380 --> 00:57:04.300
And because she's a friend of mine, we can get that that way.

950
00:57:04.300 --> 00:57:05.500
And so it is amazing.

951
00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:07.900
It will help you chart your course for 2024.

952
00:57:07.900 --> 00:57:12.340
If you can't go to that, if you've already done it, you did it at Rosh Hashanah and you

953
00:57:12.340 --> 00:57:16.060
already have your calendar already set, then go ahead and go to activation.

954
00:57:16.060 --> 00:57:17.060
We love you.

955
00:57:17.220 --> 00:57:18.220
Bless you.

956
00:57:18.220 --> 00:57:19.740
Go have a supernatural Saturday.

957
00:57:19.740 --> 00:57:23.860
Let Holy Spirit talk to you about the small pattern changes that are going to allow you

958
00:57:23.860 --> 00:57:26.460
to walk in the harvest this year in Jesus.
