00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Hello, everybody.

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Hello, hello. We're on here at nighttime together look at us.

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
What in the world right.

4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:26.000
It is still the sun has not set here in Austin, Texas, and so we are right in time to start stepping into what is known as Rasha Shana.

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:43.000
So, if you're not familiar with the one of the holiest high and holy days of the Jewish faith, and it is also the new year for the Hebraic calendar and so we're going to talk about that for just a few seconds.

6
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.000
And then we're just going to begin to release hope and faith and joy this is not a somber holiday.

7
00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:05.000
This is an exciting fun holiday just like just like New Year's Eve that happens on December 31st into January 1st is a time of new beginnings it's a time of anticipation for what God has in store for us in the future.

8
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Right.

9
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.000
So we're not here to intercede, we'll do that later. We won't do that tonight.

10
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:34.000
But we will do that as we go into this new year there is something called the days of awe, and that is a time of repentance a time of self awareness and reflection self reflection introspection, and we will be doing something for that in our community, because I, I believe that an ounce of

11
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:52.000
I believe that if we come into partnership with all the things that God wants to do in our lives, then we will be able to step forward into new places and new things will begin that will be able to activate all the good things that God has in store for us.

12
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000
Amen.

13
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:23.000
I was giving people just a few minutes to jump on got about 68 people live with us that's really great. Thanks for joining me tonight I'm not going to keep you long, because we have Supernatural Saturday tomorrow morning, and that is where I'm going to dig in with you guys and release, what I feel are some promises that God has over this overlapping year 2023 on the Gregorian calendar, that's our calendar that we use in America that's you know that's the

14
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:36.000
English calendar, and we're going to overlap with this year 5784, which is that Hebraic year that we're entering into tonight.

15
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
Tonight at sundown begins the new year.

16
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:49.000
All right, so we're all in different places. Some of you guys already may have sundown going on there. I don't quite have it here yet.

17
00:02:49.000 --> 00:03:02.000
You might ask hey you know Jackie and I'll and I'll speak to this a little bit tomorrow as well. You know why, why would we celebrate this we're not Jewish well I am Jewish, actually, both my mother and father's side.

18
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:24.000
So, that is why that is why I tried to step into some of these, some of the things that are available in the heritage and culture that I come from. I wasn't raised in any kind of heritage and culture of, you know, of Judaism, but I also wasn't really raised in a lot of the Christian culture either.

19
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:44.000
And so, and not because of that either. This is a situation where a lot of us have found ourselves with all of the 23andme and all the ancestry.com and all the different things that we have access to a lot of us are finding lineages and legacies that we didn't know we had, aren't we.

20
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:58.000
But from the time I was really young, I've always worked for Jewish people, and they have always sensed that I was carrying that heritage, they're always like hey Jackie are you Jewish and I'm like no and not that I know of I don't think so.

21
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:18.000
And they're like, I bet you are. I bet you are you know you you seem Jewish to me you know you seem, you know, there's something about you and so all of my jobs that I've ever had that were any kind of career oriented job I've always worked for amazing Jewish people and so I know that that was the Lord giving me favor.

22
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:38.000
So I've tried to dig in a little bit without getting into any kind of legalism. And so for all of you that are like hey you know Jesus came to fulfill the law of the prophets yes he did for sure and we're not trying to put any legalistic ideas on anyone tonight, but I believe we can have the best of both worlds.

23
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:54.000
I do. And I believe that when this whole thing started, it started with a timeline. The Bible says that God is the God of times and seasons. And I believe that the most accurate timeline that we have is actually the Hebraic calendar.

24
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.000
Because that is that goes all the way back right that's the one that's the one that

25
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.680
that got put into play before all of our modern increments of time,

26
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:09.760
all of our modern keeping of time.

27
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.480
And so it is a moon, it's a lunar calendar, much different than the

28
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.080
calendar that most of us go by.

29
00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:26.080
And so that is why I'm always excited to celebrate this head of the year.

30
00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:31.760
That is what loosely translated, that is what this, this holiday is all

31
00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:33.480
about, and that is what it means.

32
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:38.280
So the beginning of the year, the head of the year, the Jews believe that

33
00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:45.000
whatever happens now is what will be sealed in for the year, right?

34
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.360
That's why a lot of Jewish people will say, which means, you know,

35
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.080
may you be blessed this year.

36
00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:53.400
May you be sealed with the favor of God this year.

37
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:58.120
And so that is also what that, the days of are all about.

38
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.280
It's about repentance.

39
00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:01.640
It's about, you know, maturity.

40
00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:06.520
It's about laying down grievances about forgiving and being forgiven so that you

41
00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:10.520
can step into the things that God has for you for that year and they

42
00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:12.240
can be sealed over your life.

43
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.440
And so I don't think those are bad concepts.

44
00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:14.880
Do you?

45
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.960
I think those are pretty great concepts.

46
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.040
Um, obviously we all know that we live by grace, that we are justified

47
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.640
by grace through faith.

48
00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:23.560
All of us.

49
00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:25.600
Um, we're all Christ followers.

50
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.840
And so we know that, but at the same time, I do think that there are some

51
00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:35.920
things, um, that are in this, this Jewish heritage that are, are very,

52
00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:38.080
um, beneficial for all of us.

53
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:38.680
Okay.

54
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:47.960
So, uh, it is a time of celebration, time of celebration, time to get excited

55
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:54.040
about what God has planned for this next 365 days of our life.

56
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.800
And we are going to be doing, um, besides supernatural Saturday tomorrow.

57
00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:03.440
Uh, we are going to be doing prophesy your year.

58
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.560
Now we will probably, um, I, I can't say that.

59
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.400
I'm not going to say that we did it last year in January and

60
00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:14.760
this year we're doing it now.

61
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.680
So we're doing it now at this head of the year.

62
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.640
So some of you that did it last year, you still have a few months left on your

63
00:07:21.640 --> 00:07:24.680
calendars of what God said that he was going to do.

64
00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:26.760
And it'd be really fun for you to do it now.

65
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.360
I'm in the fifth, this fourth quarter of 2023 and see how, when you do it now,

66
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.600
how, whatever you had written for October, November, December, how that

67
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:42.240
coincides with, you know, what you're going to, um, right on there now with

68
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.160
going, going in, going in this way, you know, going in through the Hebrew new

69
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:47.440
year.

70
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.640
And so I think that's going to be fun, um, to, to start there and to do that.

71
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:57.440
And so, um, I can't say that we'll do it again in January.

72
00:07:57.440 --> 00:07:59.240
I was going to say that, but I'm not going to say that.

73
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.840
Cause I don't, I don't teach this class.

74
00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:05.160
This class is actually a much more expensive workshop.

75
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:10.520
Um, but the director of the prophetic out in Bethel Reading, she, this is her

76
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:16.400
creation, she created this workshop and she will teach it live on Sunday night.

77
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.000
Um, she has given our communities a discount in order for us to participate

78
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.440
in that.

79
00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:24.960
And so, um, that's a hundred dollars off.

80
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:26.880
So it's $50.

81
00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:27.920
It's well worth it.

82
00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:29.040
The replay is available.

83
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.160
If you can't be there live.

84
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.640
Uh, I will tell you, I did it last year in January when we had it before.

85
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.799
And the things that I wrote down came true.

86
00:08:38.400 --> 00:08:41.600
You guys, I wrote down, listen to this.

87
00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:43.080
I wrote down in April.

88
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.640
I just, I felt the Lord saying that I was going to.

89
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:50.600
And at that point I had never been out of the country yet that I was going to

90
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.680
travel, I was going to travel internationally and that, um, someone was

91
00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:00.040
going to, and that, that there was going to be full of upgrades that I was going

92
00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:05.000
to have all these upgrades and that I was going to be offered an all expense

93
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.400
paid trip internationally, right?

94
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.720
That month, I got a phone call from a friend that I haven't seen in years.

95
00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:18.080
And she, uh, travels and she speaks and ministers all over the world.

96
00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:22.000
And she said, Hey, she said, would you be, would you be able

97
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.040
to come to Columbia with me?

98
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.840
She said, all expense paid trips.

99
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.400
She said, I'll fly you first class.

100
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.440
I'll meet you there.

101
00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:32.280
Um, you know, to come and help me with this thing.

102
00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:36.360
So it literally happened just like I wrote it down on the calendar, y'all.

103
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.160
And, um, wrote it down on, you know, on that part of the prophesy your year.

104
00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:46.120
So I'm telling you in several other things as well, I just want to encourage

105
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.680
you, uh, the Bible says that we should know our times and seasons that we

106
00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:52.840
should be like the sons of Issachar and know our times and seasons.

107
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.840
And it's important because God is a God of times and seasons.

108
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.440
He is, and we want to be on page with him.

109
00:09:58.800 --> 00:09:59.920
We don't want to just be on page.

110
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.560
him. We want to be in the same paragraph as him, the same sentence as him. You know, we want to

111
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:11.280
walk with him that closely where, you know, we understand what he's doing and what he wants to do.

112
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:15.760
When I think of all the things that God has wanted to do in my life that I haven't taken

113
00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:21.440
advantage of because I just simply was too distracted, I'm sure that that list is very long.

114
00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:28.960
And so as we step into this new year tonight, this new season, this new time that's on God's

115
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:34.080
calendar, this is the Hebrew calendar, you know, as we step into that, one of the things that I'm

116
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:40.000
going to say to all of you is that I want to spend this next year not distracted.

117
00:10:43.520 --> 00:10:48.160
I once heard a saying that really stuck with me and it just says this,

118
00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:56.480
whatever distracts you is your enemy. Your enemy is whatever distracts you from God,

119
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.240
from what God is doing. Whatever distracts you, distraction,

120
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:06.160
that is your enemy. And we all know that we live in a world of distraction.

121
00:11:08.880 --> 00:11:14.960
Right? So much distraction. Everywhere distraction. You can't even think straight.

122
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.680
You go out shopping, you go to the mall, you go wherever. Have you ever noticed that everywhere

123
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:25.600
you go in, all the stores are playing loud music? I'm very sensitive to sound. I'm very

124
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:31.360
sensitive to stimulus. So I noticed that. And you know why that is, is because pretty soon you

125
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:36.160
start humming those songs. You start, you know, you know, that's what starts happening. It's like

126
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:43.280
mind gum, your gum, your mind starts chewing gum with that music in the background. And you can't

127
00:11:43.280 --> 00:11:47.440
think straight. You forget what you're doing. You forget things that you needed at the grocery

128
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:53.120
store. A lot of times in clothing stores, they've proven that the music that plays in those stores,

129
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.600
the tempo of that music, the beat of that music, it's kind of like celebratory music.

130
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.960
It gets people to buy things that they wouldn't normally buy.

131
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:07.920
You get in there and you get, you get happy and excited and you start like do a little dance and

132
00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:14.560
then you want to buy stuff. All right. But it's all very distracting. Sometimes you just want to

133
00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:17.680
get in the quiet so you can think straight. Have you ever said that to yourself? Man,

134
00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:23.920
I just can't think straight right now. I'm going to go over here and just I'm apart from all this

135
00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:29.520
stuff and so I can think straight. And so there's a lot of distraction. Obviously we have these

136
00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:36.560
appendages that grow out of our body called phones. And, you know, I mean, let's just face

137
00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:41.120
it. If it's not in your hand, if you feel naked, you feel like something's missing. I felt like

138
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.080
that after COVID when we didn't have to wear the masks anymore after like a year plus of wearing

139
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:51.440
them. I just, every time I went somewhere, I felt like something was missing. I felt like I had to,

140
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:57.360
like, I would look down to make sure that I was wearing pants because I felt like naked for some

141
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.880
reason. And that's how I feel a lot of times when I don't have my phone. Anybody else, you leave

142
00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:08.080
your phone behind accidentally and then the whole day you just feel all weird and discombobulated

143
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:17.120
because you're used to your phone, right? So that's what I want. If we're going to make

144
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:22.800
New Year's resolutions tonight, that'd be fun. You want to do that? I'm going to say, and listen,

145
00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:27.440
I'm not even going to tell you what we're going to talk about tomorrow about what the meaning of

146
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:32.240
this year is and what the prophets are saying and what God's saying to me as a prophet

147
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:39.120
to the single nation about this 5784 overlapping 2023 and what that means to our lives and our

148
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:44.640
love lives and all the things. But I think it'd be fun to do some New Year's resolutions. And so

149
00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:53.600
my New Year's resolution for this Rosh Hashanah is to not allow myself to be distracted,

150
00:13:54.560 --> 00:14:02.400
to pay attention first and foremost to God. I want to celebrate y'all. I want us to get excited

151
00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:06.880
and anticipate what God's doing. And can you imagine what God could do in my life if I gave

152
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:15.200
him my full focus, if he got the first fruits of my attention? We always talk about first fruits

153
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.880
with offerings and money and different things, but what if God got the first fruit of my attention,

154
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:26.000
y'all? If God got the first fruit of my attention in the morning, instead of reaching for my phone,

155
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:32.640
instead of getting to work, helping all y'all, what if instead of doing any of that, God got

156
00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:37.840
the best of me instead of the rest of me? What could happen this year in my life?

157
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:44.320
What kind of downloads could I get? How much more successful could I be at matchmaking and

158
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:52.000
doing all the things instead of running off to the races every morning? Yeah, that's mine.

159
00:14:52.880 --> 00:14:55.840
Anybody else have one? You can unmute yourself. You can put it in the chat.

160
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:24.320
The question was, like, what is the New Year resolution that you can partner with Heaven

161
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.320
on?

162
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:36.320
Because I don't know if you can hear me, but I don't see anything.

163
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:44.440
Okay, so everyone's going to take mine.

164
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.440
That's what we're doing.

165
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.440
All right.

166
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.440
I have one, Jackie.

167
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:49.440
Okay.

168
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:56.080
So I'm going to not immediately say no to something that the Lord is calling me to step

169
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:03.280
out on, which usually means getting in front of people and talking when he knows I'm usually

170
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:05.600
trying to play background.

171
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:10.920
And my instinct is usually, oh, I don't know, let me pray about it, knowing I'm just going

172
00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:14.120
to be like, oh, they forgot, so I have to do it.

173
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:15.480
So no more of that.

174
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:21.920
I've been getting better, but definitely giving God that first place in doing what he calls

175
00:16:21.920 --> 00:16:27.920
me to do without playing the I'm not good enough card to be doing.

176
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:32.600
So that means that you're going to be leading prayer again, correct?

177
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.880
Girl, you should have known you were going to step into that one.

178
00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:37.880
Wow.

179
00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:40.160
I didn't even see it coming.

180
00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:45.440
It just hit you like a backtrack.

181
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.680
We can have an offline conversation about that.

182
00:16:47.680 --> 00:16:48.680
Yes.

183
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:49.680
Let's do that.

184
00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:50.680
Okay.

185
00:16:50.680 --> 00:16:51.680
Bye.

186
00:16:51.680 --> 00:16:52.680
Bye.

187
00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:53.680
Goodbye.

188
00:16:53.680 --> 00:16:54.680
See you.

189
00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:55.680
Done.

190
00:16:55.680 --> 00:16:58.680
Everyone's like, yes, Marilyn.

191
00:16:58.680 --> 00:16:59.680
Yes.

192
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:00.680
Yes.

193
00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:01.680
All right.

194
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:02.680
All right.

195
00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:04.960
So you guys think about those.

196
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.480
Think about what those could be.

197
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:13.800
I think that that's a fun exercise for all of you, but, you know, let's, let's get excited.

198
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:19.119
You know, who, who wants to get excited about, you know, the anticipation.

199
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.119
I don't know about you guys, but I know the seasons are changing.

200
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:27.400
That's, you know, that's one of the things that I love about the Hebrew new year is it

201
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.120
comes in the fall when the seasons are changing.

202
00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:35.520
You can just walk outside and you're like, there's change in the air.

203
00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:36.520
Something's different.

204
00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:39.720
I'm looking out my window right now and the sun is setting, but the trees are starting

205
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.720
to turn.

206
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.360
I'm at the tops of them.

207
00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:46.400
I see different color besides just green.

208
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.160
You know, I've seen the bird patterns changing.

209
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:50.160
Things are changing.

210
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.880
You walk outside and you're like, yes, change is upon us.

211
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:58.560
And I think that's really exciting when you're thinking about new things in new years.

212
00:17:58.560 --> 00:17:59.560
Right.

213
00:17:59.560 --> 00:18:02.240
I mean, the other one just comes in the dead of winter.

214
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:09.960
The Gregorian calendar one is just like, okay, everything's dead already.

215
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:20.360
Anyone else just recently feeling like, oh, I think I feel change in the air.

216
00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:28.560
I think today was like a literal reset for me because the power completely shut off and

217
00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:31.320
everything did finally come back on.

218
00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:34.640
But my brother and his family are moving in tonight.

219
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.320
So it's interesting how it's on the new year.

220
00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:39.280
The power went out.

221
00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:43.200
Everything's happening all at the same time.

222
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:47.000
And yes, reset.

223
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:56.080
Jackie, I was just talking to my therapist about this last night and how the I'm in Texas

224
00:18:56.080 --> 00:19:03.640
too and we have had such a hot summer that my garden is literally just halfway dying.

225
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.640
But I was saying last night, I was like, I feel like this is so symbolic.

226
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.880
It's not dead and they're not dormant.

227
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:19.640
They've just taken a lot of heat and there hasn't been a lot of rain, but these are perennials.

228
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.560
And so the beautiful thing is that it will nurture the soil.

229
00:19:24.560 --> 00:19:27.320
And as the season changes, it's bringing relief.

230
00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:33.680
We've already had more rain in the last week and a half than we've had in the whole summer.

231
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.800
And it's just been such a picture for me of what the father's doing of, hey, you've

232
00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:43.200
had a lot of heat and there's been a lot of plants that are going to need pruning just

233
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.320
because they're just kind of suffering over here.

234
00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:51.520
But they're coming back and they're going to come back with more vibrancy in the rest,

235
00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:52.600
in the tending.

236
00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:59.520
And so I just agree that it's been the season is changing in the natural and even creation

237
00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:00.040
is like.

238
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
reminding me of that.

239
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.000
Yes.

240
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.000
Sorry, I live in Texas too,

241
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000
and we just got some rain a little bit last

242
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.000
night and some more today, thank God, because

243
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.000
we had a red flag alert.

244
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.000
We might have a forest fire, because

245
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.000
it was so hot and dry all summer,

246
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.000
and thank God, the rain

247
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.000
has come this week, so

248
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.000
that's definitely a change that I've been perceiving.

249
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.000
Yeah.

250
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.000
The rains have been coming, y'all.

251
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000
It's been raining here after

252
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.000
a whole season

253
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
of drought, months and months

254
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.000
and months with no rain. I don't think we've had

255
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.000
any rain in at least maybe

256
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.000
four or five months, and here it comes,

257
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.000
and we've had it every day for

258
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.000
the last few days, where I live in

259
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.000
Texas, and so change

260
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.000
is upon us.

261
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.000
Change is upon us. The winds

262
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.000
have changed.

263
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.000
The winds of change are blowing.

264
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.000
It's kind of like, um,

265
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.000
you ever notice how fall, especially for those

266
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.000
of you that live in places where you really get

267
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.000
fall, you ever notice how it's just

268
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.000
kind of like a supernatural

269
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.000
time, isn't it?

270
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.000
It feels supernatural.

271
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.000
In the air, it feels supernatural,

272
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.000
not just because Halloween is

273
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.000
in October and all the things.

274
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.000
It just feels supernatural, doesn't it?

275
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.000
It always does. It feels supernatural

276
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.000
to me, so there are things

277
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.000
that are happening. All right, who else

278
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.000
wants to, who else wants

279
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.000
to celebrate that the winds of change are

280
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.000
blowing? Jackie, this is

281
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.000
Nitin. I am expecting that

282
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.000
all my senses will be finally

283
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.000
tuned to the

284
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.000
spirit realm and to what God is

285
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.000
saying regarding 5784

286
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.000
for my life.

287
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:45.000
Amen, Nitin, and you're

288
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.000
going to want to go to that prophesy your year class

289
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.000
because you're really going to get

290
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.000
some downloads from

291
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.000
heaven about what God wants to

292
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.000
and what you can partner with him in

293
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.000
every month of that

294
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.000
new time

295
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.000
and season, so

296
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.000
I agree with you. I see some

297
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.000
friends, I see some friendly faces on

298
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.000
here that I haven't seen in a while, and

299
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.000
yes, I'm now David Dorman. See,

300
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.000
change is upon us. I'm now David

301
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.000
Dorman because my phone died.

302
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.000
All right, who else?

303
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.000
Hey, Jackie.

304
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.000
I feel like

305
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.000
the Lord is just bringing me into a season of

306
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.000
putting

307
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.000
childish things away and even

308
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.000
like, it's like when we're younger

309
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.000
and we get into adulting, quote unquote,

310
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:39.000
like we first get a checking account, we first get

311
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.000
our first car, or we go off

312
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.000
to college or something. Well, now it's

313
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.000
it's that third level

314
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.000
of adulting, like growing up

315
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.000
more and more and more.

316
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.000
You know, I turned 40 this year

317
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.000
and there's all this new stuff happening

318
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.000
that's, I

319
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.000
can't live like I'm in my 20s and 30s

320
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.000
anymore. So

321
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:01.000
that advancement is happening,

322
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.000
particularly in the area of just

323
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.000
becoming more of a man that I think he really

324
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.000
wants me to be.

325
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.000
And that's scary and exciting.

326
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.000
I love that. God wants to put

327
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.000
more weight on your life, James.

328
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.000
And you guys, I don't want this to turn

329
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.000
into a somber mood because this is a happy

330
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.000
holiday.

331
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.000
But I wrote

332
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.000
an article years ago

333
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.000
about the Days of Awe, which are going to start

334
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.000
right after this weekend. And

335
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.000
it was called the Days of More.

336
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:31.000
That's what God called it to me.

337
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.000
The Days of Promotion, James.

338
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.000
That he wants to promote us.

339
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.000
That he's looking, his eyes are roaming

340
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.000
to and fro throughout the earth, looking

341
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000
for someone that he can

342
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:43.000
show his power through.

343
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.000
You know, use his power on behalf

344
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.000
of, be a conduit

345
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.000
to his power. And so

346
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:51.000
that requires God to be able to put more

347
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.000
weight on us and for us to mature.

348
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.000
It's time for us to put away

349
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.000
childish things, right, and step

350
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.000
into that. So that's good stuff. All right,

351
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.000
who else?

352
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.000
So actually, when you said

353
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.000
promotion, it actually made me think that

354
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.000
I actually, my promotion was announced

355
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.000
today at my company. So I really do start

356
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.000
a new year and a new season

357
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000
now.

358
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.000
So it's a great new position

359
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.000
that I get to,

360
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.000
I think it'll really grow me

361
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.000
in confidence and

362
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.000
just being

363
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.000
out in front of people more than I have

364
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.000
been. So I'm

365
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:31.000
really excited about that new season.

366
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.000
That was really a surprise. I didn't

367
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.000
pursue this. It was just

368
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.000
came to me. So praise

369
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.000
the Lord.

370
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.000
Yes. Okay. What's your name? Jamie.

371
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.000
So Jamie, when you were talking,

372
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.000
I heard the Lord say that

373
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:47.000
you're actually going to have a double promotion.

374
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.000
And so I just want to release

375
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.000
that over you. So it sounds like you got

376
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.000
one promotion, but the Lord says

377
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.000
that you're going to actually get a double promotion.

378
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.000
So I don't know what that

379
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.000
means, and I don't know in what area that is

380
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.000
referring to.

381
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.000
but I want to make sure that I release that over you. Thank you for sharing. Yes. Keep us posted

382
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:14.960
on that. All right. Not just being upgraded once, but twice. And so Lord, we thank you for that.

383
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:25.040
All right. Who else? I'm believing that it could be a change and of leaving behind and starting

384
00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:30.560
a new chapter. I've been fighting retirement and I don't know for sure exactly when it's

385
00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:36.000
going to happen, but the Lord keeps prompting me, it's coming, it's coming. And it's coming

386
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.920
because I need to leave the old behind to embrace the new. And I'm really looking forward to this

387
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:53.680
prophesying the new year. Yes, Miriam. Yes, yes, yes. When you were talking, I heard redemption

388
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.520
for this new year. Cause normally for me, fall is not a good season. I've had a lot of

389
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:06.880
sickness due to just the weather during the fall. And God's really been showing me a new season

390
00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:12.640
for this month. And I just heard redemption when you were talking about the goodness of the fall.

391
00:26:16.080 --> 00:26:23.040
Yes. No more, no more season of sickness, Lord. We thank you for that, God. We thank you. This

392
00:26:23.040 --> 00:26:28.000
is going to be a much different type of season for your daughter. Love that.

393
00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:36.080
I feel like I have been in hibernation for the past three years since we've had lockdown

394
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.280
and it's time to get out of hiding. I feel like I'm like that bear coming out of the

395
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:51.440
cave for the first time and seeing a new light. Cause it does, it feels so fresh right now for me.

396
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:57.920
I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels fresh. So I want to start to listen to

397
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:05.280
God more, which means that I'm going to have to have more quiet time like I used to. And

398
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:12.320
see what God's doing. Cause I want to jump in and I want to be a part of what God is doing

399
00:27:12.320 --> 00:27:18.800
in this time. Amen. And God wants you to be a part of what he's doing, Tracy.

400
00:27:19.760 --> 00:27:26.320
That's an invitation. That desire in your heart is God inviting you to call shotgun and jump into

401
00:27:26.320 --> 00:27:33.600
the passenger seat and go crazy places on crazy adventures with him. Yes, you guys, it's an

402
00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:42.480
invitation. As we were just kind of thinking about this, I started to think about last few years.

403
00:27:43.280 --> 00:27:47.840
Um, I've started to think new thoughts about myself that I've never had before.

404
00:27:48.560 --> 00:27:53.360
And I felt as we were sitting here, the Lord was really inviting me to like, this is the time to

405
00:27:53.360 --> 00:28:02.720
fully step into that identity instead of this back and forth, um, where it's been one step

406
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:08.400
forward into this new identity and the finding myself back into this negative thinking and

407
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:16.240
doubting or, um, living in old narratives that are based in really in lies that robbed me of

408
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.560
God's abundance. So I feel like this is a time where he's saying it's, it's time to fully step

409
00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:34.080
into this new. Amen. We agree with you. New, new, new things. New, new things don't always feel the

410
00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:41.280
greatest at first, right? They don't. I mean, you got to get used to them. And sometimes like if

411
00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:45.600
it's clothing, it can be a little itchy or scratchy until it's washed a few times and

412
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:50.640
shoes sometimes, you know, even though they're the right size, they can rub you the wrong way a

413
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:57.200
little bit and until you break them in. And, you know, so new is exciting and I love the word new,

414
00:28:57.760 --> 00:29:05.120
but I also understand because of maturity that new is stretches us. New makes us uncomfortable,

415
00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:11.360
doesn't it? Why? Because it's new. It's something new. And even though if it, even though it may

416
00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:18.400
be the thing that you wanted so much for so long, there's still going to be a transitional time with

417
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.160
whatever that is. And so y'all just know that and just be ready for that and be excited about that

418
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:32.640
and just know that that is what causes us to be able to be stretched to the capacity to be able

419
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:38.640
to sustain that new. We want to be able to sustain it. It's good. All right. Who else?

420
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:46.960
I feel like there's something on surprises lately, like giving a yes to God with the change of

421
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:54.960
season without even knowing what's coming. I just recently went to a wedding a week ago and across

422
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:59.920
the country and some, I was feeling in my spirit, Oh, there's like a shift. There's a change.

423
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.800
of season coming. I had no idea what that looked like, except to just be like, God,

424
00:30:04.800 --> 00:30:10.800
you have my yes, whatever is coming. And then all these really crazy things happen in a matter of

425
00:30:10.800 --> 00:30:20.800
two days of this trip and really cool open doors to come and just be here, be back, fly back across

426
00:30:20.800 --> 00:30:24.960
the country. The night that I got back the next morning, I was like, I think I'm supposed to take

427
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:32.000
them up on their offer to just come and the God within days figured out a place to stay a car,

428
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:38.080
just resources, um, stuff that I've been passions that I've been dreaming into for a really long

429
00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:44.800
time. It just feels like there's the way that he's woven in and orchestrated every hour of,

430
00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:49.760
of the adventure, just not only the past trip, but even since I've been here, the last week has

431
00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:56.800
just been so divine and feels very much stretching in the new, but, um, something that I could never

432
00:30:56.800 --> 00:31:02.960
have planned or orchestrated on my own. So I think there's something really on giving a yes

433
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:08.480
and being open-handed to just, Hey, I don't know what's coming, but I'm just gonna jump.

434
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:13.200
I'm buying the plane tickets and I have no idea what the rest of the details are and trusting,

435
00:31:14.080 --> 00:31:20.400
um, that every step of the way he's just, he it's been mind-blowing how much he's

436
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:25.280
leveling things up and just providing in ways I couldn't have asked for imagined.

437
00:31:27.280 --> 00:31:36.640
Amen. Love that. Love that. Love God inviting you into that. He's so kind. That is so kind

438
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:42.960
to y'all. And if you don't know him in, in, you don't know him in that, that character,

439
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:50.000
if you don't know him that way, um, through that context, then I just invite you into, um, knowing

440
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:57.600
the kind father, so kind, cares about us, emotionally involved with us, wants us to

441
00:31:57.600 --> 00:32:05.760
experience things that we enjoy and love and wants to see a smile, wants to see joy on our faces.

442
00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:13.760
Did you know the God of the universe loves to hear you laugh? He loves to see your smile.

443
00:32:13.760 --> 00:32:21.200
In fact, he likes to do things to get you to smile and laugh, you know, all good and perfect

444
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:28.320
gifts come from the father. And so all the wholesome things that, that, that, uh, that

445
00:32:28.320 --> 00:32:34.000
tickle your heart that, you know, I, I had this experience a couple of times just recently, and,

446
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.480
and, and so, so sad that I found it a little bit embarrassing. It just shows you that, you know,

447
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.360
we're just too full of self and I'll just be the first person to admit that and just fear of man

448
00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:48.000
and fear of what people think. But a couple of times just recently when I was different places

449
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:54.880
within the spiritual community in the United States, holy laughter hit me. And that's not

450
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:02.320
something usual for me. And, um, and when it happened, you know, it just felt so good. I

451
00:33:02.320 --> 00:33:07.040
just can't, it's a whole different kind of belly laughing. It's a whole different type of joy

452
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:13.120
and I needed it. And actually it began to break off the grief and mourning from my mother's passing

453
00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:18.560
is really what was doing. And, um, but you know, people are looking at you like, Oh, what, what is

454
00:33:18.560 --> 00:33:24.000
she like? What's going on over there? Kind of thing. Um, but it feels so good. And God loves

455
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:31.520
for us to experience that, to experience his joy. The Bible says that's unspeakable

456
00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:39.360
and full of glory. And so we just declare that right now, whoever needs that, a revelation that

457
00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:47.520
God loves your smile. He loves your laugh. He loves to see you excited and happy. That is,

458
00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:53.040
that's God's plan for you in this world. Yes, there is trials that are tribulation. There are

459
00:33:53.040 --> 00:33:58.960
sad things that happen. Um, there's people suffering all around us, but for in the midst of

460
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:05.360
that, you know, the Bible says for the joy that was set before him, Christ endured the cross.

461
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:11.360
And so there can be joy even in the midst of all that. And God loves to see you. Did you know that

462
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:22.159
your, um, that your original state is joy? Your original state, the real you, the O-G-U is joy.

463
00:34:23.120 --> 00:34:32.480
Your original state is joy. Yeah. I just feel this word. I just, you know, there's a lot of people

464
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:38.320
in all of your lives that really love and respect you. And, um, you know, you have relationship with

465
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:44.400
whether they're friends or family or siblings or, um, best friends or coworkers. And I just hear the

466
00:34:44.560 --> 00:34:52.480
Lord saying this. They think they know you, but they've never seen you in joy. And they're about

467
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:59.600
to. And, and the confession on your lips is like, wait till you see me.

468
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.400
Wait till you see me in good times.

469
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.200
Wait till you see me in joy.

470
00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:05.860
They already think you're great.

471
00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:08.500
They've already watched you overcome and persevere

472
00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:11.100
and they've already watched you be kind and generous

473
00:35:11.100 --> 00:35:14.700
even in lean times, but they've never seen you in abundance.

474
00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:16.540
They've never seen you in joy.

475
00:35:16.540 --> 00:35:19.380
They've never seen you winning.

476
00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:21.740
They haven't seen you in good times.

477
00:35:21.740 --> 00:35:23.460
They've seen you in other kinds of times,

478
00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:25.860
but wait till they see you, that's the word.

479
00:35:25.860 --> 00:35:28.220
Wait till they see you in joy.

480
00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:31.340
So I just release that over all of us, including myself.

481
00:35:35.720 --> 00:35:36.560
Who else?

482
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:40.000
Yeah, Jackie, I just want to say,

483
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:42.580
since I joined this program and in this community,

484
00:35:42.580 --> 00:35:46.120
I've been so blessed and I think God's really built

485
00:35:46.120 --> 00:35:49.760
my faith and hope throughout this all,

486
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.360
just in my life and every area specifically,

487
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.960
not just to meet somebody, but just as a man,

488
00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:58.500
being confident in the work I'm doing.

489
00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:00.340
Like I also got a promotion a few weeks,

490
00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:05.140
or a month ago now, and it just really been helping me

491
00:36:05.140 --> 00:36:07.100
in many areas of my life as well,

492
00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:09.380
and my identity and everything.

493
00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:10.780
So it's been a blessing.

494
00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:14.260
And I just feel like a real boldness and confidence

495
00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:17.900
and faith and point of faith in the things I'm doing

496
00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:19.460
and some of the declarations I'm making.

497
00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:21.980
So it's really, I feel stronger than ever before

498
00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:24.180
and with a vision and a purpose of going forward.

499
00:36:24.180 --> 00:36:26.820
So, and I think God's saying, just keep that up,

500
00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:29.280
keep what I'm doing up in the new year

501
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.440
and not look back and not fall back

502
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.960
and revert to old ways and whatever.

503
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:38.080
And so I just want to, I'm just encouraging myself,

504
00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:39.560
but also encouraging the community,

505
00:36:39.560 --> 00:36:41.560
people to keep moving forward.

506
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.280
And with God, what he's done is continuing to do.

507
00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:50.040
Yeah, wanted to share that.

508
00:36:50.060 --> 00:36:50.900
Yeah.

509
00:36:56.620 --> 00:36:58.940
About a couple of months ago,

510
00:36:58.940 --> 00:37:00.900
my brother took me out to lunch

511
00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:04.540
and he said that he had a word for me.

512
00:37:04.540 --> 00:37:08.900
And he gave me the word that God was saying

513
00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:12.020
that it was time to get back in the game.

514
00:37:12.020 --> 00:37:15.100
And that kind of confirmed some things

515
00:37:15.100 --> 00:37:17.180
that I had been going through.

516
00:37:17.180 --> 00:37:20.400
I think I put myself on the sidelines

517
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:23.280
after the divorce and all the hurt.

518
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:28.280
And I was just not wanting to get hurt again.

519
00:37:28.560 --> 00:37:33.160
So I put myself on the sidelines

520
00:37:33.160 --> 00:37:37.160
and this season of change that is going on.

521
00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:41.460
And I feel it, not just in the weather when I step outside,

522
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.440
but I think that me getting back in the game,

523
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:49.640
when he gave that to me,

524
00:37:49.640 --> 00:37:52.600
I was still going through the heart work process.

525
00:37:52.600 --> 00:37:55.120
And so I think I put in my head

526
00:37:55.120 --> 00:37:57.400
what that game was going to be.

527
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.180
And I think God is saying,

528
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:05.200
we know the seasons, we know winter and then spring,

529
00:38:05.200 --> 00:38:07.720
and we kind of fall into that.

530
00:38:07.720 --> 00:38:09.000
And I think he's saying,

531
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.680
don't put it in a category.

532
00:38:13.680 --> 00:38:15.640
Don't think you know what's coming.

533
00:38:15.640 --> 00:38:19.560
Don't think you know what the game is gonna be.

534
00:38:19.560 --> 00:38:20.520
I guess that's what it is.

535
00:38:20.520 --> 00:38:22.360
So I'm excited.

536
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:26.280
I've got a prophecy, people praying over me.

537
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:27.720
Tomorrow, I've got that going

538
00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:29.460
and then I've already signed up for Sunday.

539
00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:32.560
So I'm excited.

540
00:38:32.560 --> 00:38:35.280
He's changing.

541
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:36.260
He's changing me.

542
00:38:37.120 --> 00:38:38.760
Amen.

543
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:40.280
Love that, Kathy.

544
00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:45.220
And sometimes we need to take a time out to heal.

545
00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:47.940
But I love that God's saying,

546
00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:49.860
hey, it's time now.

547
00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:52.180
It's time to try out that healing.

548
00:38:52.180 --> 00:38:55.860
It's time to get back in there and see.

549
00:38:55.860 --> 00:38:58.060
When athletes get hurt on the field,

550
00:38:58.060 --> 00:39:01.120
unless it's a catastrophic injury,

551
00:39:01.120 --> 00:39:03.980
they get back on the field to see if they can walk on it,

552
00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:07.340
if they can play on it, if they can shake it off.

553
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:11.320
And so they take time to go through

554
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:12.840
whatever rehabilitation they need.

555
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.260
And then the only way to test and see

556
00:39:15.260 --> 00:39:17.960
whether or not you're well is to get back out there, right?

557
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:19.520
That's what has to happen.

558
00:39:19.520 --> 00:39:20.960
And then the other thing that Al was saying,

559
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.800
I was muted and I couldn't unmute myself for some reason.

560
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:26.520
He said something really powerful.

561
00:39:26.520 --> 00:39:28.400
So Al, I'm so glad.

562
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.880
And there were a couple guys in our community

563
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.800
that God sent me to go get,

564
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:36.080
meaning that I got invited years ago,

565
00:39:36.080 --> 00:39:39.860
back in 2020, to speak for some men's thing.

566
00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:42.780
I, me, a woman, I got invited to go speak

567
00:39:42.780 --> 00:39:44.900
at some, an online men's thing.

568
00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:47.860
I don't even remember the name of the person right now

569
00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:49.860
or the name of the thing.

570
00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:51.820
But there were a couple guys,

571
00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:54.360
there was a handful of guys, a few guys

572
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.620
that saw me that night speaking there

573
00:39:57.620 --> 00:39:59.780
and they came into our community.

574
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.520
Um, one of them, um, is in a very marriage minded courtship with, uh,

575
00:40:05.540 --> 00:40:09.960
one, you know, one of our incredible women now, and then, and then another,

576
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:12.520
and then, and then Al is one of those guys as well.

577
00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:16.940
And so, um, so I'm so glad that, um, I really felt that when I went that

578
00:40:16.940 --> 00:40:21.340
night and then, um, and then you guys came over and connected to what we're

579
00:40:21.340 --> 00:40:26.520
doing, cause I knew that the Lord was, was bringing you and wooing y'all over to this.

580
00:40:26.520 --> 00:40:30.440
So I'm so thankful that you're still here and that you've gotten breakthrough and

581
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:34.120
that your life is changing and all the things that are happening, but you said

582
00:40:34.120 --> 00:40:36.820
something really important that I think everyone can benefit from hearing.

583
00:40:36.820 --> 00:40:42.020
And that is in order for Al to continue and progress and what God is saying, he

584
00:40:42.020 --> 00:40:44.100
needs to, you know, it's about community.

585
00:40:45.140 --> 00:40:46.820
So, and we don't want to fall back.

586
00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:48.240
We don't want to get stagnant again.

587
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.780
Then we need to be around people that are moving forward.

588
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.860
We need to be around people.

589
00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:55.860
The Bible says that provoke us to good works because faith without works is dead.

590
00:40:56.380 --> 00:41:01.500
We want to provoke one another, um, to, to have that hopeful expectation and that

591
00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:03.560
preparation and to keep moving forward.

592
00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:08.880
The reason why so many people fared so poorly during COVID is because, uh, bad

593
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:12.060
habits and even sin thrive in isolation.

594
00:41:13.300 --> 00:41:15.580
When we're, we're not meant to live isolated.

595
00:41:15.600 --> 00:41:20.040
There is nowhere in God's plan that he ever meant for us to be alive and alone.

596
00:41:20.640 --> 00:41:21.060
Ever.

597
00:41:21.520 --> 00:41:25.920
And a lot of single people, especially during COVID, especially the ones that

598
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.720
had that elderly parents that weren't receiving anyone to their homes.

599
00:41:30.060 --> 00:41:31.680
Um, they were very isolated.

600
00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:33.480
Okay.

601
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:34.880
There was a lot of isolation.

602
00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:42.060
And so it's important that we understand that that gave us, it gave us a, um, a

603
00:41:42.060 --> 00:41:45.620
view into what happens when we're isolated, when we're not in community.

604
00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:48.500
It led us, it's a cautionary tale, isn't it?

605
00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:52.380
And so for all of us to move forward into what God is going to speak to our

606
00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:56.020
hearts in the next couple of days about what this new year of our lives looks

607
00:41:56.020 --> 00:42:00.940
like and what the new year for all of us corporately looks like as he speaks to us

608
00:42:00.940 --> 00:42:04.940
about that, it's going to take all of us locking arms and continuing to encourage

609
00:42:04.940 --> 00:42:09.200
each other forward in order for us to continue to move forward and walk that

610
00:42:09.200 --> 00:42:09.500
out.

611
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:15.140
So thank you for sharing that, Al, because that is the truth, right?

612
00:42:16.680 --> 00:42:17.480
All right.

613
00:42:17.820 --> 00:42:20.700
Um, who else?

614
00:42:22.180 --> 00:42:26.660
Yeah, Jackie, I just want to say, um, when we're doing the heart work, you

615
00:42:26.660 --> 00:42:31.380
talked a lot about people potentially moving and I was never against it, but

616
00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:34.180
I was like, I'm just pretty new and where you've just placed me Lord.

617
00:42:34.220 --> 00:42:38.780
But this last week I just applied for a job that would have me move across the

618
00:42:38.780 --> 00:42:42.620
country and so much change God's done in my heart this year.

619
00:42:42.680 --> 00:42:49.240
And, um, and a few really important milestones and prophetic words I've had

620
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:53.920
have feel like it's going to be a season of like what you just said of joy and

621
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:59.600
opening up and connecting me back to more of my ministry call and putting me

622
00:42:59.600 --> 00:43:04.240
in community and around people I haven't been in for a couple of years.

623
00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:09.040
So yeah, totally out of the blue, didn't, didn't see myself moving.

624
00:43:09.100 --> 00:43:16.020
Um, and the funny thing is in my job, it's been about a delay of about a month

625
00:43:16.180 --> 00:43:22.660
to, uh, revise my job description and prepare me for my visa because I'm on a

626
00:43:22.660 --> 00:43:23.780
work visa over here.

627
00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:29.060
So, um, it was just, I had to be really patient and not get stressed about it

628
00:43:29.380 --> 00:43:32.100
because I'm trying to book travel to go home and it's really expensive.

629
00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:38.340
Um, and then I see this other opportunity open up and had everything

630
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:43.120
else sort of happened earlier with my current job, I would have, uh, being on

631
00:43:43.120 --> 00:43:45.760
a completely different schedule and a different focus.

632
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.560
So yeah, I just see, um, and yeah, feel excited about potentially this new

633
00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:58.800
opportunity that opens me up a whole lot more to, uh, ministry and, and

634
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.400
giftings and callings in my life.

635
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.720
So it's exciting.

636
00:44:03.080 --> 00:44:04.080
Praise God.

637
00:44:04.080 --> 00:44:04.760
Yes.

638
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:05.400
Amen.

639
00:44:05.540 --> 00:44:09.180
So when you say move across the country, you just mean to another part of

640
00:44:09.180 --> 00:44:10.500
the country that you're already in?

641
00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:11.220
Yeah.

642
00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:12.420
In the U S yeah.

643
00:44:12.420 --> 00:44:13.820
I'm in the U S yeah.

644
00:44:14.340 --> 00:44:15.500
Oh, you're in the U S okay.

645
00:44:16.020 --> 00:44:16.380
All right.

646
00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:17.260
So, okay.

647
00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:17.900
Awesome.

648
00:44:18.100 --> 00:44:18.940
That's so great.

649
00:44:19.060 --> 00:44:20.540
So that's exciting.

650
00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:21.780
That's exciting.

651
00:44:21.780 --> 00:44:22.740
Change is exciting.

652
00:44:22.740 --> 00:44:25.900
Remember it's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it.

653
00:44:26.820 --> 00:44:28.140
It's definitely worth it.

654
00:44:28.140 --> 00:44:29.460
So that's exciting.

655
00:44:29.500 --> 00:44:30.860
Thank you for sharing that, Wendy.

656
00:44:30.860 --> 00:44:31.380
Who else?

657
00:44:32.180 --> 00:44:33.620
I wanted to share something.

658
00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:35.300
I don't know if you guys can hear me though.

659
00:44:36.180 --> 00:44:36.940
Yeah, we can hear you.

660
00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:37.820
Can you hear me?

661
00:44:38.180 --> 00:44:44.280
So I wanted to read a scripture that, um, it actually popped into my head today,

662
00:44:44.340 --> 00:44:49.100
but God was just doing such work that I just was not noticing it until like right

663
00:44:49.100 --> 00:44:51.740
now, um, Hebrews chapter 12.

664
00:44:52.380 --> 00:44:57.220
Uh, therefore, since we are surrounded by such great cloud of witnesses, let

665
00:44:57.220 --> 00:44:59.460
us throw off everything that hinders.

666
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.900
the sin that so easily entangles,

667
00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:07.140
and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

668
00:45:07.140 --> 00:45:09.300
fixing our eyes on Jesus,

669
00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:12.000
the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

670
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:15.280
For the joy set before him, he endured the cross,

671
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.840
squirting its shame,

672
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.240
and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

673
00:45:20.240 --> 00:45:23.980
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners

674
00:45:23.980 --> 00:45:26.720
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

675
00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:31.480
I feel like I am losing all hindrances,

676
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:36.200
everything that has been like literally heavy on me,

677
00:45:36.200 --> 00:45:38.120
worrying me.

678
00:45:38.120 --> 00:45:43.000
I am like literally just restarted

679
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:44.640
just being more mindful,

680
00:45:44.640 --> 00:45:47.880
aware of the things that are like extra in my life

681
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:51.000
that God put on me, things even in my home.

682
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.440
So I found my home was fine,

683
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.680
but like I'm finding left in there's clutter there

684
00:45:55.680 --> 00:45:58.000
and I'm physically removing foods from the fridge

685
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.780
that are not supposed to be there.

686
00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:03.740
And I'm like effortlessly losing weight,

687
00:46:03.740 --> 00:46:05.420
I'm getting more joy.

688
00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:08.380
I am like doing things I enjoy doing.

689
00:46:08.380 --> 00:46:09.660
I have now time for that.

690
00:46:09.660 --> 00:46:11.460
I'm worrying about less of things.

691
00:46:11.460 --> 00:46:14.300
And I just have this new level of gratitude

692
00:46:14.300 --> 00:46:16.520
growing with each day to God.

693
00:46:16.520 --> 00:46:18.600
I could understand how and all of that.

694
00:46:18.600 --> 00:46:19.900
I thought it was just, you know,

695
00:46:19.900 --> 00:46:22.200
some spiritual discipline or whatever.

696
00:46:22.200 --> 00:46:24.600
And now I see it's just this grace of God

697
00:46:24.620 --> 00:46:29.520
is accelerating me into some purpose that he has for me.

698
00:46:29.520 --> 00:46:32.500
And to me, it does not need to be anything

699
00:46:32.500 --> 00:46:35.360
big or spectacular, but just to be his child,

700
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.300
to be his daughter, just to enjoy life,

701
00:46:38.300 --> 00:46:42.180
to rediscover this joy, this simple living.

702
00:46:42.180 --> 00:46:46.980
And like, I am just kind of going,

703
00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:49.980
I thought I didn't have too much access of this and that.

704
00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:52.320
And like, it looks like I did.

705
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.640
And it was weighing me down.

706
00:46:54.640 --> 00:46:56.440
And now I'm just like,

707
00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:59.040
I feel like I'm just going all these sentences,

708
00:46:59.040 --> 00:47:00.680
like lightweight.

709
00:47:00.680 --> 00:47:03.220
And so I'm just kind of,

710
00:47:03.220 --> 00:47:07.420
I used to think the scripture was about hard things

711
00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:10.260
and like you're sacrificing and all of that.

712
00:47:10.260 --> 00:47:14.100
It's actually the don't belong to us.

713
00:47:14.100 --> 00:47:16.700
And Jesus Christ died on the cross for these things.

714
00:47:16.700 --> 00:47:21.000
And we just like let go of these things and focus on Jesus.

715
00:47:21.020 --> 00:47:24.560
We're gonna have that joy that was set before Jesus.

716
00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:26.500
Anyway, I just wanted to share that

717
00:47:26.500 --> 00:47:30.360
because I am just like enjoying every single day.

718
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.440
It's been consistent ever since I came back

719
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:38.000
from country Ukraine, I'm noticing God is doing something.

720
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:41.380
And when I was going upstream and things were difficult

721
00:47:41.380 --> 00:47:43.240
and I was asking, begging God,

722
00:47:43.240 --> 00:47:46.480
God, show me your purpose, show me your plan,

723
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.920
which way to go, how should I do this?

724
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:50.980
And it's like, God just was just giving me

725
00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:53.320
these opportunities where it was effortless.

726
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.520
And he was showing me, okay, see how this was effortless.

727
00:47:56.520 --> 00:47:58.580
That's me opening and paving the door.

728
00:47:58.580 --> 00:48:01.220
See all the hard things that you were trying to do that.

729
00:48:01.220 --> 00:48:03.860
That's you just trying to go against and resist

730
00:48:03.860 --> 00:48:06.560
and all of that and go on your own way.

731
00:48:06.560 --> 00:48:10.600
And I don't know, to me, I'm just delighted

732
00:48:10.600 --> 00:48:13.000
and just like really joyful and happy

733
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.500
that God's yoke is easy.

734
00:48:14.500 --> 00:48:18.080
I thought it was hard and going to be hard and it's not.

735
00:48:18.160 --> 00:48:21.000
And I'm just so happy, even more motivated

736
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:22.800
to let go of anything and everything

737
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:24.780
and to pray that prayer to God,

738
00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:29.780
God search my heart, what else is in me that is a weight,

739
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:31.580
that is unnecessary weight,

740
00:48:31.580 --> 00:48:33.280
that is just putting this burden.

741
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:35.280
Sorry, I spoke so long, but-

742
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.920
No, Angela, it's good to hear you speak.

743
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:41.400
You usually don't speak and that was powerful

744
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:44.460
and good and so important for all of us.

745
00:48:44.460 --> 00:48:48.000
So what weights, friends, are you carrying needlessly?

746
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.160
I remember God used to say to me all the time,

747
00:48:51.160 --> 00:48:53.460
because I would worry a lot and I would fret

748
00:48:53.460 --> 00:48:55.760
and I would obsess about negative things.

749
00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:58.960
Yes, you, me, Jackie, I would do that.

750
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.400
And God would say, you know that you're suffering?

751
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:03.300
And I'd say, yes, Lord, I am suffering.

752
00:49:03.300 --> 00:49:05.500
He said, no, let me finish.

753
00:49:05.500 --> 00:49:07.700
You're suffering needlessly.

754
00:49:07.700 --> 00:49:09.840
You're suffering needlessly.

755
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:11.080
You're choosing to suffer.

756
00:49:11.080 --> 00:49:12.840
You're choosing to think about all these things

757
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:14.320
and worry about all these things

758
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.520
and fret about all these things.

759
00:49:17.500 --> 00:49:19.640
No one else is causing you to do that.

760
00:49:19.640 --> 00:49:20.480
You're doing that.

761
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:22.280
You're suffering needlessly.

762
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:26.380
And so let's decide that we're gonna lay aside the weights,

763
00:49:26.380 --> 00:49:28.320
not just the things that easily entangle us,

764
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.180
but the weights that we don't need to carry.

765
00:49:31.180 --> 00:49:32.680
We don't need to carry that weight.

766
00:49:32.680 --> 00:49:35.560
And some of you, Angela said something very important.

767
00:49:35.560 --> 00:49:37.720
Some of you, like Angela,

768
00:49:37.720 --> 00:49:40.500
and I feel like I used to think this as well,

769
00:49:40.500 --> 00:49:42.460
you're expecting a battle.

770
00:49:42.460 --> 00:49:44.480
You're expecting life to be hard.

771
00:49:45.460 --> 00:49:47.660
You expect life to be hard.

772
00:49:47.660 --> 00:49:49.400
And I know that you've had some hard times.

773
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:51.300
We've all had hard times,

774
00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:54.000
but the majority of our life isn't supposed to be hard.

775
00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:56.660
The majority of your life, yeah,

776
00:49:56.660 --> 00:49:59.580
you will go through trials and tribulations.

777
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.960
Both of those are, you know, depictions of seasons, trials, and tribulations.

778
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:12.160
Both of those are depictions of seasons and temporary situations.

779
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:18.000
But if your whole life is one big trial and one big tribulation, if it's hard and you're

780
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:23.840
expecting it to be hard, then we're obviously not partnering with Jesus, right?

781
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:28.080
We're not believing that He's with us and for us, that God is with us and for us, that

782
00:50:28.080 --> 00:50:29.520
life is with us and for us.

783
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:31.840
We're not expecting grace.

784
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:33.600
We're not expecting mercy.

785
00:50:33.600 --> 00:50:36.800
We're expecting to have to white-knuckle it through, whatever it is.

786
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:42.480
So whatever that is for you tonight, whether you're trying to break free from some sin

787
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:50.400
that has easily entangled you, whether you are tired of carrying around the debt—I

788
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:54.480
just feel that in the spirit right now—the weight that you've been carrying around is

789
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:55.120
debt.

790
00:50:55.120 --> 00:50:57.680
You just have so much debt that you're carrying around.

791
00:50:57.680 --> 00:50:59.360
That could be spiritual debt.

792
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:00.800
That could be emotional debt.

793
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:02.160
That could be relational debt.

794
00:51:02.160 --> 00:51:03.920
It also could be financial debt.

795
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.840
God said, I haven't created you to be a debtor.

796
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:09.520
I've created you to be a lender.

797
00:51:10.720 --> 00:51:12.880
I've created you to be the head and not the tail.

798
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:18.000
In fact, one of the prayers the Jews say during this—and I'm not going to try to say it

799
00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:21.280
in Hebrew because there's no way that I'm going to be able to do that because I just

800
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:28.640
don't have the phlegm in my throat to do it—is that, may God make you the head and

801
00:51:28.640 --> 00:51:29.920
not the tail this year.

802
00:51:31.120 --> 00:51:32.720
I just release that over all of us.

803
00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:38.640
God already said we could be the head and not the tail, but we have to release the debt.

804
00:51:38.640 --> 00:51:43.520
We have to release the weight that is weighing us down and making us feel like losers instead

805
00:51:43.520 --> 00:51:44.080
of winners.

806
00:51:45.120 --> 00:51:50.880
And I'll just tell you, I know that we have a very North American Christianity, but what

807
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:55.600
it looks like to be a winner is that you are blessed to be a blessing.

808
00:51:55.600 --> 00:51:57.680
It doesn't look like an entitlement.

809
00:51:57.680 --> 00:51:59.200
It doesn't look like elitism.

810
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:01.920
It doesn't look like any of that.

811
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:03.440
It doesn't look like capitalism.

812
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:10.800
It looks like a humble life where you know that everything you have is because God has

813
00:52:11.600 --> 00:52:17.920
blessed you and favored you, and that makes you compassionate and able to give to others

814
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:20.240
freely, be a cheerful giver.

815
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:23.120
Some of us are like, man, I want that.

816
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:24.640
I want to have enough to give.

817
00:52:24.640 --> 00:52:26.000
Well, everyone has enough to give.

818
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:32.080
Start giving away the things that you don't feel like you have enough of, whether that's

819
00:52:32.080 --> 00:52:34.560
peace or joy or a word.

820
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:39.520
Even though you're really hungry for a word, give a word to somebody else.

821
00:52:39.520 --> 00:52:44.000
You know, there's all kinds of ways that we can walk that out, regardless of what our

822
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:44.800
bank account looks like.

823
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:48.320
But let's lay aside that debt, and I really feel like for a lot of you it's financial

824
00:52:48.400 --> 00:52:52.080
debt, and you feel like, I made this bed, and now I have to lay in it.

825
00:52:52.080 --> 00:52:56.080
I made bad decisions on the other side of the divorce, on the other side of whatever,

826
00:52:56.080 --> 00:52:58.080
the bankruptcy, blah, blah, blah.

827
00:52:58.080 --> 00:52:59.280
I didn't make the right decision.

828
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.600
I didn't see the signs on the wall.

829
00:53:01.600 --> 00:53:03.120
I lived above my means.

830
00:53:03.120 --> 00:53:04.960
I medicated myself with stuff.

831
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:12.720
It doesn't matter, because the Bible tells us that because Christ died for us and as

832
00:53:12.720 --> 00:53:19.120
us, we get to lay in the bed that Jesus made, not in the bed that we made.

833
00:53:19.120 --> 00:53:27.680
So we can step out of those hard consequences of our mistakes, and we can step into his

834
00:53:27.680 --> 00:53:28.000
grace.

835
00:53:28.720 --> 00:53:31.040
Now, does that mean that you're not going to have to do anything?

836
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:36.240
No, but it does mean what Angela said, his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

837
00:53:36.240 --> 00:53:40.720
Religion makes us think that we have to pay it all back, whatever we've done wrong.

838
00:53:40.720 --> 00:53:44.160
We got to pay it all back with a pound of flesh, and that it's going to be super hard.

839
00:53:44.160 --> 00:53:45.920
It's going to take a really long time.

840
00:53:45.920 --> 00:53:49.760
And God wants you to know that if you will trust him, and right now I'm speaking to

841
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:50.560
financial debt.

842
00:53:50.560 --> 00:53:55.680
If you will trust him, regardless of how you got it, God will help you to pay that back

843
00:53:55.680 --> 00:54:00.320
in record time, or it will just be outright forgiven.

844
00:54:01.040 --> 00:54:02.480
So I just release that over you right now.

845
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:04.240
Come on, you guys got to get ahold of that.

846
00:54:04.240 --> 00:54:07.600
I feel like God wants us to walk into this new year with that weight off of us.

847
00:54:08.240 --> 00:54:12.880
For those of you that have debt, God wants to erase that debt.

848
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:15.520
He wants to repay that debt quickly.

849
00:54:15.520 --> 00:54:21.040
He wants to cause you to be forgiven of that debt.

850
00:54:21.680 --> 00:54:26.080
Just the other day, I have a friend, and he had over $100,000 in student loans, and he's

851
00:54:26.080 --> 00:54:26.560
a teacher.

852
00:54:26.560 --> 00:54:32.000
He's a fifth grade history teacher, and he's a really great, amazing teacher, and he's

853
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:32.640
a good man.

854
00:54:34.160 --> 00:54:35.840
In fact, ladies, he's single.

855
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:36.960
He's 52 years old.

856
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:38.080
I'll tell you about him later.

857
00:54:38.080 --> 00:54:44.640
Anyway, he has been diligently paying on that school debt, but because the loans get sold

858
00:54:44.640 --> 00:54:48.560
from one company to another company, and then the interest rates change, and this happens,

859
00:54:48.560 --> 00:54:52.640
and that happens, it seemed like he was never making a dent in it.

860
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:56.880
Then all of a sudden, he heard about a program that if you've been paying your loans for

861
00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:59.280
a certain amount of time, you could apply to have them forgiven.

862
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.120
He qualified for it.

863
00:55:01.460 --> 00:55:06.900
And he about ran around the block shouting when he got the email at,

864
00:55:07.080 --> 00:55:10.540
you know, midnight, cause he just happened to check his email and it was midnight.

865
00:55:10.540 --> 00:55:12.620
And he was like, he was like, there was no one to call.

866
00:55:12.620 --> 00:55:13.200
It was too late.

867
00:55:13.200 --> 00:55:16.060
He says, so I literally went outside and I ran down the street.

868
00:55:16.740 --> 00:55:20.980
Cause I was so excited that my, my loans were forgiven.

869
00:55:21.640 --> 00:55:23.300
And so I just want to release that over you.

870
00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:28.220
I believe that God has crazy supernatural favor for you.

871
00:55:28.220 --> 00:55:31.660
If you would stop beating yourself up, if you would stop sitting around and

872
00:55:31.980 --> 00:55:35.940
thinking and being resentful towards whoever got you in this mess in the

873
00:55:35.940 --> 00:55:38.200
first place, someone who ran up your credit card that used to be in

874
00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:40.600
relationship with, or your adult kids.

875
00:55:40.860 --> 00:55:45.140
I have at least one of you, one student that, you know, took out a student loan

876
00:55:45.140 --> 00:55:47.120
for her daughter when she was in college.

877
00:55:47.120 --> 00:55:49.520
Cause back then they made your parents take it out.

878
00:55:49.780 --> 00:55:53.400
And now that her daughter has grown up and has a good job, she refuses to help

879
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:55.960
mom pay the loan and mom's retirement age.

880
00:55:56.340 --> 00:56:01.000
And so we got to forgive that daughter for, for not being kind and not being

881
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:04.700
caring and not taking on her own debt and leaving mom to pay that debt, even

882
00:56:04.700 --> 00:56:08.800
though mom is elderly and, and she's young and she has the finances.

883
00:56:09.040 --> 00:56:12.620
And so we've got to release people like that because God wants you to

884
00:56:12.620 --> 00:56:14.380
know that they ain't your source.

885
00:56:16.260 --> 00:56:17.340
He's your source.

886
00:56:18.500 --> 00:56:19.680
Someone needs to hear this.

887
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.780
That man that you had children with that you were married to or not married to

888
00:56:25.080 --> 00:56:28.180
that child support that he isn't paying is not your source.

889
00:56:30.820 --> 00:56:33.660
That alimony that he hasn't paid is not your source.

890
00:56:35.220 --> 00:56:36.480
God is your source.

891
00:56:38.260 --> 00:56:39.500
God is your source.

892
00:56:40.140 --> 00:56:41.500
He wants to take care of you.

893
00:56:45.140 --> 00:56:46.500
May I speak into that please?

894
00:56:50.060 --> 00:56:50.380
Yes.

895
00:56:50.380 --> 00:56:50.980
Go ahead, Michael.

896
00:56:51.540 --> 00:56:51.900
Yeah.

897
00:56:51.900 --> 00:56:54.560
I wanted to share a story around that.

898
00:56:54.560 --> 00:57:00.080
So, um, about seven years ago, I was in a lot of debt, had gone through a

899
00:57:00.080 --> 00:57:06.120
divorce and was paying child support and I was paying an amount that wasn't fair.

900
00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:12.000
And, um, and then my son moved in to live with me because the situation at

901
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.320
his home wasn't really bearable for him.

902
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:18.440
Well, he lived with me for nine months and I was still paying child support.

903
00:57:19.160 --> 00:57:20.840
And I just wanted to have him in my home.

904
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:24.760
Well, I had a friend that helped me get things turned around

905
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:26.320
that the child support got cut off.

906
00:57:27.160 --> 00:57:29.160
I slowly was able to get out of debt.

907
00:57:30.200 --> 00:57:35.160
And, um, and next two weeks from Tuesday, I'm going to be, well, actually before

908
00:57:35.160 --> 00:57:42.480
that, the home that we have was foreclosed on in 2016 and, um, but then

909
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:47.520
God really began to really turn things around for me financially.

910
00:57:48.120 --> 00:57:49.400
I was able to retire.

911
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:54.720
Um, I was able to start my own, um, counseling practice and in two weeks

912
00:57:54.720 --> 00:57:58.320
I'm going to be, I'm going to be closing on a home and, um, and it's,

913
00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:00.240
and it's been an amazing milestone.

914
00:58:00.240 --> 00:58:01.600
I'm completely out of debt.

915
00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:08.280
Uh, I've been able to travel, um, out of the country without any credit card debt.

916
00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:12.760
And all of this has been kind of like in a matter of seven years.

917
00:58:12.760 --> 00:58:18.920
So yes, I mean, God definitely, um, has and can turn things around for us

918
00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:24.440
financially, I know that we hear a lot of stories about, uh, women who have

919
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:30.280
been, um, done wrong by, you know, maybe ex-husbands, but I'm a man speaking

920
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:34.640
that, you know, I was in a situation where I feel like I was wrong in the

921
00:58:34.640 --> 00:58:37.800
amount of child support I was paying, even though my son was staying with

922
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:44.000
me for a part of the time and yet God used that situation and I've been

923
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:46.640
able to be a blessing, you know, to others.

924
00:58:47.200 --> 00:58:48.600
And, um, so, so I'm grateful.

925
00:58:48.600 --> 00:58:53.880
So I, I definitely can testify to how God has, has, um, solved my situation

926
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:59.280
and has, um, kept me steadfast and, and not wanting to be in debt and really

927
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:03.640
being serious about working hard to get out of it and having something to

928
00:59:03.640 --> 00:59:07.680
provide, you know, for my son and, uh, and really excited about an

929
00:59:07.680 --> 00:59:09.560
opportunity to, to own a home again.

930
00:59:10.200 --> 00:59:12.560
So I just wanted to share that and encourage people that

931
00:59:12.560 --> 00:59:13.600
might need to hear that.

932
00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:14.320
Thank you.

933
00:59:15.600 --> 00:59:15.960
Yes.

934
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:16.480
Amen.

935
00:59:16.520 --> 00:59:16.800
All right.

936
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:18.920
We're going to go ahead and we're going to wrap up.

937
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:19.600
So thanks.

938
00:59:19.640 --> 00:59:22.160
Thank you for that, Michael, and praise God.

939
00:59:22.160 --> 00:59:24.720
And, um, so friends, I bless you.

940
00:59:24.720 --> 00:59:25.560
Shana Tova.

941
00:59:26.160 --> 00:59:26.960
I bless you.

942
00:59:27.040 --> 00:59:29.560
May the Lord bless you with a sweet and good year.

943
00:59:30.160 --> 00:59:33.760
Let's just, let's just, uh, let's just greet each other with that right now.

944
00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:34.720
Shana Tova.

945
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:37.200
Come on, y'all.

946
00:59:37.720 --> 00:59:38.440
Shana Tova.

947
00:59:51.520 --> 00:59:52.080
Yes.

948
00:59:52.080 --> 00:59:52.920
Thank you, Lord.

949
00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:53.840
All right.

950
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:59.320
So tomorrow morning, Supernatural Saturday, Sunday night, we have Prophesy Your Year.

951
00:59:59.720 --> 01:00:01.560
Um, make sure you tune in to that as well.

952
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.500
sure you sign up for that. If you haven't, the signups are in all of your groups.

953
01:00:01.560 --> 01:00:04.960
And, uh, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

954
01:00:03.500 --> 01:00:08.500
Just look for the pinned post saying that the September to remember stuff that

955
01:00:09.300 --> 01:00:10.860
we have going on for this weekend.

956
01:00:10.860 --> 01:00:14.340
And I believe that we're going to shift and just get ready as we,

957
01:00:14.340 --> 01:00:17.100
as we enter into next week, we're going to,

958
01:00:17.340 --> 01:00:19.660
we're going to really be going after the days of more.

959
01:00:20.020 --> 01:00:22.060
That's what we're going to be going after the days of more.

960
01:00:22.060 --> 01:00:23.140
We're going to do it together.

961
01:00:23.140 --> 01:00:27.820
And I believe that we're going to have lots of crazy, amazing, um,

962
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:33.400
testimonies in our group that tell us that God definitely has his eyes on us.

963
01:00:34.040 --> 01:00:36.520
All right. Love y'all and see you tomorrow. Bye everyone.

964
01:00:36.680 --> 01:00:37.600
Thank you, Jackie.

965
01:00:41.200 --> 01:00:42.360
Good night, everybody.

966
01:00:42.640 --> 01:00:43.480
Bye everyone.

967
01:00:44.080 --> 01:00:44.920
Yeah.

968
01:00:49.560 --> 01:00:50.400
Good night.

969
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:55.400
And turn around abundantly above all you did ask me.

970
01:00:56.300 --> 01:00:57.220
Good night, everybody.
