15 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.800 And so that's what we do on Saturdays. 16 00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:56.880 So Father God, we're so thankful that we get to come together again and we get to get into 17 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.240 that lane with you. 18 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.080 Whatever lane you're in, whatever you're doing, we're calling shotgun this morning. 19 00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:06.720 We're asking you to help us to be willing, to be made willing in this day of your power, 20 00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:10.800 in this day of your breakthrough, to volunteer, to be part of that. 21 00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:12.240 And so Lord, we thank you. 22 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:16.520 We ask that all of our hearts would be open, our ears and eyes and spirits would receive 23 00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:17.520 in Jesus name. 24 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:18.520 Amen. 25 00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:19.520 All right. 26 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:23.120 So what was on my heart this morning, and it came from an old video. 27 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.160 You guys have been doing this for a long time, and sometimes I don't even remember how long 28 00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:31.120 I've been doing what I do until Facebook reminds me. 29 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:32.200 Anybody else? 30 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.800 You have like little Facebook memories that pop up and you're like, oh, wow, I've been 31 00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:39.880 saying this for 20 years, or I've been saying this for 15 years, or I've been talking to 32 00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.560 people about their love lives for, you know, this long or that long, or talking to people 33 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.560 about God's promises over their lives for decades. 34 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.720 And so I used to do a show called The Wake Up Call with Jackie, your daily, your daily 35 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:54.560 dose of curd, tope and faith. 36 00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.400 And I feel like that's going to be coming at you soon from a podcast near you again. 37 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.880 But right now, I saw a video from one of those wake up calls, and it reminded me of a very 38 00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.240 important truth. 39 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.800 And I felt like God's like, hey, share that, share that on Supernatural Saturday. 40 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.720 So I'm going to share for a few minutes, and then Bethany is going to take over and activating 41 00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:20.880 some of that with you guys this morning. 42 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.840 I think it's really important not just to hear the word, but to activate it. 43 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.800 And that's why if you're new, we have a full time of activation on Sunday evenings. 44 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.280 In fact, that's what I called Sunday activation. 45 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.720 And so if you want to activate more, then please join us tomorrow at 8 p.m. Eastern. 46 00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.520 That is not a recorded session. 47 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.280 So because it's meant to be a time of breakouts. 48 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.040 And so hopefully, that is the model that we continue to follow. 49 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:48.480 All right. 50 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.520 So what is the word? 51 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.400 What is the thing that God reminded me is even more true today than it was when I released 52 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.080 it back then, which I think was about six or seven years ago. 53 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.080 Okay. 54 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.560 And that is that we have to prepare for the promised land. 55 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.240 If you wanted a title for today's, you know, Supernatural Saturday, we have to prepare 56 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.240 for the promised land. 57 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:16.240 You guys, the promised land is not an if, it's just a when, it's not an if. 58 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.520 And God took his people out of bondage, out of slavery, out of Egypt. 59 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.280 And you guys, we all have an Egypt. 60 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.840 We all have an Egypt in our lives. 61 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.240 Lots of us have lots of Egypt in our lives, right? 62 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.120 It's like we're headed towards something new. 63 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.340 And then boom, we're back in Egypt, like, hey, how did I get here? 64 00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:37.240 So we all have lots of Egypt, right? 65 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.580 But when he is taking his people, he heard their cries. 66 00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:41.680 He saw their oppression. 67 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:47.240 He delivered them out of bondage, out of barrenness, out of lack, out of scarcity, 68 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.240 out of orphan mentalities and slave mentalities and, you know, all of those things. 69 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.320 When he did that, he had a plan. 70 00:03:55.320 --> 00:03:56.320 God had a plan. 71 00:03:56.320 --> 00:03:57.320 God always has a plan. 72 00:03:57.320 --> 00:03:58.960 And here's the good news for you guys. 73 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:04.560 Jeremiah tells us, and we quote it all the time, God says, I know the plans I have for 74 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.560 you. 75 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.680 Remember the word plans in that verse is plural. 76 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.800 It's not, I know the plan I have for you. 77 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.000 It's I know the plans I have for you. 78 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.280 Why is that important? 79 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.399 Because we mess up God's plan all the time. 80 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.079 We zig instead of zag. 81 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.760 We go left instead of right. 82 00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:22.880 We think we know better. 83 00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:24.080 We hear the word of the Lord. 84 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:25.320 He tells us to do something. 85 00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:26.320 We only do it halfway. 86 00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.920 I mean, he knows what we're made of, which is pretty much dirt, okay? 87 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.940 His word says that he sees the frailty of our form. 88 00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:40.760 He knows that this flesh is always trying to pull us in the wrong directions. 89 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.040 He knows that fear that tries to constantly dog our steps, you guys, the biggest enemy 90 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.280 that we have on earth is the opposite of love. 91 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:50.400 God is love. 92 00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:54.840 We've been made for love, by love, to love. 93 00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:59.480 And the issue is, is that fear, which is the opposite of love, not hate, fear. 94 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.640 Hate is just a byproduct of fear, right? 95 00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:08.520 Fear is constantly trying to get us to not do the things 96 00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:11.640 that God is inviting us into. 97 00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:12.920 He's not telling us to do it. 98 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.280 I need you to get rid of that kind of mindset. 99 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.280 God invites you. 100 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:21.440 He's constantly inviting you, and guess what? 101 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:25.040 If you turn down an invitation, there will be another one. 102 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.960 Now, I don't say that to help you to be apathetic, 103 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.400 but I want to remind you that God has plans. 104 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.120 Now, they're not all gonna look the same, 105 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.400 and it is true that if we turn down one invitation, 106 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:40.200 the next invitation may be 107 00:05:40.200 --> 00:05:42.240 to take a totally different course. 108 00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:45.160 You know, David and I were talking about this yesterday. 109 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.160 We're talking about the divorce of his parents. 110 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.240 His dad is 84 years old this year. 111 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.600 They've been divorced since he was three years old. 112 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.160 His dad was in the Air Force. 113 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.200 He was, you know, full-time in the Air Force. 114 00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.960 His mom didn't like that life. 115 00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:00.520 This is back in the 70s when everyone was getting divorced. 116 00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:03.360 His mom was not a believer, and she just left his dad. 117 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.120 She's like, I don't want this Air Force life. 118 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.080 So she took her three-year-old David, and she left, 119 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:08.800 and she married another man, and she moved 120 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.280 and had a little suburban life in the Midwest. 121 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.680 But, you know, he never remarried David's father, 122 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.240 and at 84 years old, he told my husband a couple days ago, 123 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.000 you know, I still love your mother. 124 00:06:21.960 --> 00:06:23.040 That's heartbreaking. 125 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.520 But, you know, she didn't know Jesus. 126 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:26.600 She took a different course. 127 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:27.600 She took a different road. 128 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.600 There was a detour in the road, and she took it, right? 129 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.920 But David and I began to talk about, you know, 130 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.800 what would have happened had all the people 131 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.440 that come before us made different decisions? 132 00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:41.520 What would that have looked like? 133 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:42.840 What would have my life looked like 134 00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:45.200 if I hadn't been raised on the, you know, 135 00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:48.640 on the plains of the Serengeti by the wolves? 136 00:06:48.640 --> 00:06:50.320 You know, what would have happened 137 00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:52.920 if David's parents would have stayed together? 138 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.280 You know, and the truth is is that David 139 00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:56.760 and I probably would not have met. 140 00:06:56.760 --> 00:06:59.400 We probably wouldn't be living this current reality, 141 00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:01.800 and someone has to get ahold of that 142 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.600 because that's where Romans 828 comes into play 143 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.000 where God works all things to the good, right? 144 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.400 Yeah, it is kind of like when we were kids 145 00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:12.960 in those choose-your-own-adventures books. 146 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:16.800 There is going to be a different adventure based on choices. 147 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.640 There is. 148 00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:21.400 But the good news is that God always has a new good plan 149 00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:24.560 for you if you're willing to turn away from your plan 150 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.080 and turn towards His. 151 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:28.200 And there's always gonna be an invitation 152 00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:31.480 until your last breath on earth to go God's way, 153 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.280 to experience His reality for your life, 154 00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:36.240 which is what? 155 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.400 John 10.10, abundance, overflow, goodness, 156 00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:43.880 blessed to be a blessing, peace, prosperity. 157 00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:45.320 I know people hate that. 158 00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:47.720 You know, Jerry Savelle just passed away, 159 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.000 and I love, love, love his daughter, 160 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.840 and I love her ministry, and you know, 161 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:54.280 she had a good daddy, and she is mourning her father, 162 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:56.520 and for all of you that had good earthly fathers, 163 00:07:56.520 --> 00:07:59.880 be blessed, because that is few and far between. 164 00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:04.240 But I was looking at the tributes that were up, 165 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.920 and the Christian Post did an article, 166 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.920 and it kind of was like, it was a tribute, 167 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.760 but then it was like a bashing at the end 168 00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:15.080 because it was talking about how he was a prosperity 169 00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:16.760 preacher, and blah, blah, blah, blah. 170 00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:19.080 And then it quoted someone who literally, 171 00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:21.400 I felt like saying, who's this person you're quoting? 172 00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:22.400 I've never heard of them. 173 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:23.920 They're insignificant. 174 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.080 What they're saying means nothing, 175 00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:28.080 but this person that you're, you know, 176 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:32.280 allowing them to bash has changed so many lives, 177 00:08:32.280 --> 00:08:34.880 and his name is synonymous with, you know, 178 00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:37.760 obviously family, and being a good father, 179 00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:41.080 and being someone who preached in 3,500 churches, 180 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.919 revival, and you know, why? 181 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.440 Because of the word prosperity. 182 00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:47.320 Oh, it's a prosperity preacher. 183 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.200 Well, I just want to let you know, 184 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.320 God wants you to prosper. 185 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:51.760 He wants you to prosper. 186 00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:53.520 Does that mean like wearing a Rolex, 187 00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:55.680 and driving a Lambo, and living in a mansion? 188 00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:58.520 No, that's not what the word prosper means. 189 00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:00.960 It means that you would be abundant, 190 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:02.560 that you would overflow. 191 00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:05.760 And anyone who says that the gospel 192 00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:08.520 is not a prosperity gospel, they didn't read it right. 193 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.520 It doesn't do your father in heaven any good 194 00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:16.600 for you to be in scarcity and in lack. 195 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.440 The problem is, is that we live there 196 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:21.480 because of our mindsets. 197 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.480 And we see this in the story of the people 198 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.640 that were coming out of slavery and bondage, 199 00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:28.040 and God was taking them to a land that was what? 200 00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:31.520 Overflowing, isn't that what the word of God says? 201 00:09:31.520 --> 00:09:34.120 Overflowing with things, you know, 202 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.280 we're like milk and honey, okay, who wants that? 203 00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:41.280 Well, back then, those were examples of prosperity, right? 204 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.600 Those were typologies 205 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.880 of there being an abundance of good things. 206 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.480 And God wants that for us. 207 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.760 He wants that for each and every one of us in our lives. 208 00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:56.320 And yes, it's gonna look different on all of us, 209 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.360 but at the same time, that's what God wants for us. 210 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.200 So he's. 211 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.920 telling his people, hey, I'm going to take you to this thing. 212 00:10:02.920 --> 00:10:04.840 But remember, they've never seen this thing. 213 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:05.800 And that's a lot of us. 214 00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:07.200 You've never seen a good marriage. 215 00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:09.880 You've never seen a good marriage in your whole life. 216 00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:14.960 Hey, you've never seen the things that, you know, God has promised you in your 217 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.680 dreams or promised you in the words that you've received. 218 00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:21.080 And, and because of that, you dream up what it looks like yourself. 219 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:25.080 And a lot of times, most of the time, whatever it is that you're dreaming 220 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.560 up, it's really inferior to what God has for you and what's going to show 221 00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:33.200 up to fulfill the promise that God has in your life. 222 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.960 A lot of times it's not going to look the way you expect it. 223 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.520 Q children of Israel get to the border of the promised land. 224 00:10:40.520 --> 00:10:43.280 And they're like, Oh no, there's giants in here. 225 00:10:45.400 --> 00:10:45.880 Right. 226 00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:53.440 I mean, literally you guys, God just parted a whole fricking sea for them. 227 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.960 Drowned Pharaoh's army caused them to have water coming out of rocks and 228 00:10:59.960 --> 00:11:02.960 food falling from the sky, but yet no. 229 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:06.640 But here's the thing. 230 00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:07.720 I don't want to get into that. 231 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.840 Cause we all do that. 232 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.960 We are like, we all, we all forget what God's done for us in the past or what 233 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.160 God's done right in front of our face for other people. 234 00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:16.840 And we all doubt and we all get into fear. 235 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.520 Cause once again, it's that frailty of our flesh. 236 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:20.360 That's what it is. 237 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.120 And it's always going to be with us. 238 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:27.880 Even Paul said, Oh, this flesh, when am I going to be free of it? 239 00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:28.400 Right? 240 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.400 So the thing that I really want to talk to you today about is that how to 241 00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:39.680 prepare for that promised land, how to prepare for it, how do we do that? 242 00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:40.960 What do we need to do? 243 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.360 It's going to be an individual thing. 244 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.240 And you're going to have to start asking the Lord about that for yourself 245 00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:51.040 because it's not an, if you guys, it is just a, when it's just a, when at the 246 00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:54.080 other day at the grocery store, I saw the front of a magazine and I snapped a 247 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.040 picture of it and it just said, I fell in love when I least expected it. 248 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.640 And the reason why I'm using love as the fruition of your promises this morning 249 00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:04.200 is because so many of you, you know, that is the uppermost thing on your 250 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:05.920 heart is that you want your partner. 251 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.880 Now, Holy Spirit might speak to you about something completely different 252 00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:11.320 today that you need to prepare for. 253 00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:15.520 Something completely different today that, you know, is eminent and is going 254 00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:19.600 to be the first thing, the first promise fulfilled in your life before the partner. 255 00:12:19.640 --> 00:12:21.520 And we have that happen so often. 256 00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:24.160 We just had a marriage from within this community. 257 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:28.040 And I know that God fulfilled a lot of other promises in both of their lives 258 00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:29.680 before he brought them together to partner. 259 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.600 And so that definitely happens. 260 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.960 So the first thing that we have to remember is that the relationship 261 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.680 with God is the most important thing. 262 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:40.600 Got to keep the main thing, the main thing, right? 263 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.160 We're not looking for another person to fill the God shaped hole. 264 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:43.840 We're not. 265 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:45.800 Okay. 266 00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:48.480 And at the same time, we're not, you know, thinking that we're 267 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.360 married to Jesus on earth because we're not. 268 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:52.720 Okay. 269 00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:55.640 There's a, there's a tension that you have to hold between those two things. 270 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.160 God is source, but he is the head of the human resource department. 271 00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:02.480 And he does want to send people into your life for all different reasons 272 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200 to bring the healing that you need. 273 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.880 So the first thing that we have to remember is that we have to 274 00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:10.120 keep the main thing, the main thing. 275 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.040 Don't forget God. 276 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.000 In fact, write this down in your notes. 277 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.520 Remember God. 278 00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:17.320 Remember God. 279 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.760 Oftentimes when people have been single for a long time, or, you know, maybe 280 00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:25.760 even just a short time, but you're the kind of person who just only, uh, get 281 00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:28.760 your little love tank filled by another human being, when you get into 282 00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:34.600 relationship, you start to get kind of dull spiritually, and I'm just going to 283 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:40.240 tell you, marriage is the wild, wild West in 2024, if you don't have that 284 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:45.400 threefold cord, you're probably not going to stay married, so it's important 285 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.760 for you to have that foundation of trust and relationship with God. 286 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.280 Yes. 287 00:13:49.280 --> 00:13:52.640 Your relationship with God is going to grow when you meet your spirit mate. 288 00:13:52.640 --> 00:13:53.080 Why? 289 00:13:53.280 --> 00:13:56.520 Because you're going to see a whole new element of God through this 290 00:13:56.520 --> 00:14:00.160 person, a whole new level of love, of grace, of mercy, you know, 291 00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.760 that's what it should look like. 292 00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:05.480 You should feel even more loved and seen and known by God, um, 293 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.920 through the person that you marry. 294 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.440 It's not going to all be rainbows and butterflies, but it is going to be that 295 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:15.360 type of refining that makes us better and draws us closer to each other and to God. 296 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.440 So remember God, whatever you have to do in your life right now, if your life 297 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.920 right now is just you running around, you know, with a tarantula hanging 298 00:14:23.920 --> 00:14:25.360 off your butt, trying to survive. 299 00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:27.640 If that's what your life looks like right now, that's what's 300 00:14:27.640 --> 00:14:28.880 going to look like in marriage. 301 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.440 Right? 302 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:34.440 If you haven't learned how to go to God with your needs, your Jesus cares 303 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.520 board, for those of you that are still in heartwork, haven't heard about that 304 00:14:38.520 --> 00:14:39.920 yet, you're going to hear about it. 305 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.600 You guys, that is a activation of a lifestyle. 306 00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:47.120 It's not just a cute little craft project that we do in this program. 307 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.760 It's an activation of a lifestyle. 308 00:14:49.520 --> 00:14:53.240 You have not been created or designed to carry your own burden. 309 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:54.760 You can't carry it. 310 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.160 Other people can carry it for you and you can give it to God. 311 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.040 Those are the two things in the word of God. 312 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:07.000 that talk about what you should do with those heavy burdens, right? 313 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:15.280 So the next thing is, is that we have to remember not to accept a counterfeit. 314 00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:19.120 In the book of Numbers, you guys, if you go and read it, it talks a lot about the exodus 315 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.120 to the promised land. 316 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.880 It talks a lot about the instructions and like the little nitty gritty details of what 317 00:15:23.880 --> 00:15:28.400 happened in that story that I started this call out with. 318 00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:31.600 And one of the things that I don't think a lot of people see is that there were a group 319 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.020 of people that when they got to the banks of the Jordan, they actually, because they 320 00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:40.600 had brought a lot of livestock with them, they were like, hey, this is really good land 321 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.600 right here. 322 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.440 So why don't you all go ahead and go ahead into the promised land and we'll just stay 323 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.440 here. 324 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.440 This will be our land. 325 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:47.660 We'll stay here. 326 00:15:47.660 --> 00:15:52.440 They were willing to stay on the other side, y'all. 327 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.440 They were willing to stay on the other side. 328 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.120 And there are probably a couple different reasons. 329 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.640 Oh, you know, this is good enough. 330 00:15:57.640 --> 00:15:58.640 Yeah, this looks good. 331 00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:00.760 All right, we'll take this. 332 00:16:00.760 --> 00:16:03.880 This is here, you know, that's there. 333 00:16:03.880 --> 00:16:04.880 This is here. 334 00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:05.880 It's right now. 335 00:16:05.880 --> 00:16:08.360 A lot of times we don't want to wait for something good. 336 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.640 Who here will admit that you've, you know, instead of going home where you know that 337 00:16:11.640 --> 00:16:15.640 you went grocery shopping and there's some good whole foods in your fridge, you pull 338 00:16:15.640 --> 00:16:21.640 through Taco Bell because you just can't wait, right? 339 00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:32.520 And then you regret it later because there's a reason why Taco Bell has 99 cent anything. 340 00:16:32.520 --> 00:16:33.880 So this is what these people were doing. 341 00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:36.280 They're like, oh, we'll just stay here. 342 00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:39.480 And then the other reason is, is that it's hard. 343 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.760 There's giants in the land. 344 00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:43.560 There's all these things. 345 00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:46.400 And so we're not going to accept a counterfeit just because it's easier. 346 00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:49.580 We're not going to do that in any area of your life, not just your love life, in any 347 00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:50.580 area of your life. 348 00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:52.940 We're not going to settle for less. 349 00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:56.440 And for those of you that, you know, you still got some hard work to do, you might hear something 350 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.180 different right now than what I'm saying. 351 00:16:58.180 --> 00:17:01.260 You might hear that, oh, this person has to have all my list items. 352 00:17:01.260 --> 00:17:04.300 No, your list items are based on your own broken heart. 353 00:17:04.300 --> 00:17:09.220 And as you continue to unpack that, the non-negotiables from heaven will be the things that are left. 354 00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:10.220 And then that's all. 355 00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:13.339 So we're not going to forget our history. 356 00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:14.339 We're not going to forget God. 357 00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:18.660 We're not going to forget where we've come from and what God's done for us. 358 00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:22.420 And we get whatever it is that we want in our hot little hands, whatever it is you're 359 00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:26.740 thinking of right now, whatever promise it is, that's uppermost on your heart. 360 00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:32.020 We're not going to be swayed by any kind of counterfeit prosperity before we get there. 361 00:17:32.020 --> 00:17:35.700 We know God's way is the best way and his promises are the best and, you know, they're 362 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:42.740 not going to show up all the time looking like, you know, sitting in a gold chair being, 363 00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:45.300 you know, fans and eating grapes. 364 00:17:45.300 --> 00:17:46.300 It's not what it looks like. 365 00:17:46.300 --> 00:17:47.900 It's going to look like work. 366 00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:51.100 These relationships that you've been pining away for, they're going to look like work. 367 00:17:51.100 --> 00:17:58.940 There's going to be just as much hard stuff in that than there is going to be good stuff. 368 00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.860 And sometimes the hard stuff is the good stuff. 369 00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:04.020 Some of you that hate process need to know this. 370 00:18:04.020 --> 00:18:08.060 The process is the point. 371 00:18:08.060 --> 00:18:09.060 It is. 372 00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:11.660 The pregnancy is the point. 373 00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:12.660 It is. 374 00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:18.540 God creates the heart that is able to then sustain and steward the promise. 375 00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:21.820 Very important stuff for us all to know. 376 00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:26.380 And then we have to remember, hey, let's not, they were told not to defile the land, right? 377 00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:32.260 Don't bring a bunch of crap here that is going to ruin this opportunity. 378 00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:37.020 And so that's where we have to continue to ask God to show us anything in our heart that 379 00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:42.460 is going to sabotage whatever it is that we've been praying for and promised and waiting 380 00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.980 for and hoping for. 381 00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:46.980 We don't want that. 382 00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:51.540 Yes, there are going to be hard bits no matter what, but we can make it a lot harder and 383 00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:57.500 maybe even make it not happen based on our preparation, right? 384 00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.500 Good news. 385 00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.020 There's another plan, but maybe you just want this plan. 386 00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:02.020 Anybody else? 387 00:19:02.020 --> 00:19:03.940 Anybody else just want this plan? 388 00:19:03.940 --> 00:19:07.860 You don't want to have to wait for another ship to come into port. 389 00:19:07.860 --> 00:19:08.860 Yeah. 390 00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:12.100 And so let's not defile the land. 391 00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:14.260 Let's not bring a bunch of stuff in there. 392 00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:16.900 And you guys, the way we're going to do that is it's going to come into, it's going to 393 00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:18.540 come in our hearts. 394 00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:19.820 That's where we're going to be carrying it. 395 00:19:19.820 --> 00:19:24.500 Those were the suitcases are that we're going to be bringing into whatever it is that we're 396 00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:26.020 invited into. 397 00:19:26.020 --> 00:19:27.100 Okay. 398 00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:30.220 Whether it's the relationship that you've been waiting for, whether it's that job promotion 399 00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:34.380 you've been waiting for, because with everything that you want, there comes some ick. 400 00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:36.060 Remember, there was giants in the land. 401 00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:39.260 There's going to be some ick in everything. 402 00:19:39.260 --> 00:19:41.060 Some of you millennials need to write that down. 403 00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:48.220 The guy that I am waiting for has some icks. 404 00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:51.540 That's a very young person thing to say. 405 00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:55.100 And a lot of people are letting their icks sabotage things. 406 00:19:55.100 --> 00:19:56.860 And so let's not do that. 407 00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:58.580 So we need to take a look. 408 00:19:58.580 --> 00:20:00.180 We need to let God put that. 409 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.520 magnifying glass on with us and take a look at what's still what's still 410 00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:11.200 squatting in your heart. Where are the squatters? Fear squatting in there? 411 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.240 Is unforgiveness, is bitterness squatting in there? Look, if you have unforgiveness 412 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.320 or bitterness towards a former spouse, if you don't think that that's going to get 413 00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:24.880 applied to your new spouse sooner or later, you're wrong. You're wrong. The 414 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.400 second that they do something that subconsciously reminds you of what the 415 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:32.000 other person did, even if it's just your perspective and not even a real thing, 416 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.960 you're gonna start telling yourself a really nasty story 417 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:42.320 that's going to cause disconnection. So these are important things, you guys. And 418 00:20:42.320 --> 00:20:45.360 I think for some of you, this is just residue we're talking about. This is not 419 00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:51.440 big things that we're moving out. You know, you've moved a lot of stuff out of 420 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.000 the house. You've taken a lot of stuff to the Goodwill. You've dropped it off. You've 421 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.640 done the things in your heart, but there's just some sweeping that needs to 422 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.440 be done right now, right? There's just a little dusting. 423 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.560 There's just a little more. And some of you, you haven't 424 00:21:07.560 --> 00:21:10.800 even started. Your heart looks like an episode of Hoarders, and that's all right. 425 00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:15.040 We're here to help you. You're brand new. We're gonna help you get it done at an 426 00:21:15.040 --> 00:21:18.960 accelerated pace. So we're looking to God always. We're not forgetting our history. 427 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.320 We're not forgetting God. We're remembering God. We're not defiling the 428 00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:25.600 land by bringing a bunch of stuff in. We're not going to be swayed by any 429 00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:31.480 counterfeit opportunities. We're not going to do any of that stuff. And the 430 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.880 other thing that we're going to do is, we're going to, what did he, what's the 431 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.680 instruction that he gave when they came into the land? He said, hey, all of these, 432 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:45.680 all of these other inhabitants of the land, they have to go, right? They can't 433 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:51.760 stay. All the Ites, right? The Perizzites and the Amicalites and the Hebusites and 434 00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:55.480 what can go on and on and on. And I can mispronounce every one of them on this 435 00:21:55.480 --> 00:22:03.520 call this morning for your enjoyment, but they got to go. They can't stay. And those 436 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:06.760 represent all kinds of different things in our lives. And you guys, sometimes they 437 00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:11.240 disrepresent opportunities and people and situations and relationships that 438 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:17.160 have way outlived their time in our lives. So many people really have a 439 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:23.640 problem pruning and you got to do it. You got to prune. You have to prune. You can't 440 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.600 have everything all at the same time. And you guys, some of the things that you're 441 00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:32.160 going to prune are going to be good things. I'm sure that not all, I mean, all 442 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.360 these people were pagans in the land, but you know, I'm sure that there were some 443 00:22:35.360 --> 00:22:40.560 good elements of some of the things like, hey, you know, if I let this, this, this, 444 00:22:40.560 --> 00:22:43.720 this group of people stay, you know, they're really good at this and they 445 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:46.880 could teach us how to do this or this could happen or that could happen. I'm 446 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.440 sure that some of the things that you're going to 447 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.800 are going to be things that you're like, yeah, I really like that. 448 00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:03.560 In its season. And yeah, there's still some benefit left in it, but does it lead 449 00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:10.080 you to where you want to go? Your, your main, main commodity, your main resource 450 00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:14.080 that all of us have is time. And so for a lot of you, it's just simply, you have a 451 00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:19.240 lot of time sucks in your life. And I run into this all the time in any kind of 452 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.960 private coaching that I do is that someone tells me that they want something, 453 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:26.920 but then I look at their schedule and I'm like, do you really want it? Because 454 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:31.960 your, your schedule does not tell me that you want it. How are you going to fit it 455 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.880 in here? You obviously don't have a really good idea of how much time it 456 00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:40.080 takes to do whatever it is they're telling me X, Y, Z. And you guys, 457 00:23:40.080 --> 00:23:45.200 relationships are going to have to be a main priority and they take a lot of 458 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:51.440 time. If you're going to do them, right. In fact, a lot of you all are divorced 459 00:23:51.440 --> 00:24:00.040 here today because someone didn't make you a priority, right? You're divorced 460 00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:03.400 here today because someone didn't do this list that I'm saying right now. 461 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.200 Her name is Karen, K-A-R-E-N, Unger. 462 00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:18.120 They defiled the land. They did all the things. Am I right? All right. So we're 463 00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:22.080 going to have fun today with this list. You might even add a few things to it 464 00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:26.960 while I'm gone. But I have to jump off today. Bethany's going to take over and 465 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:31.720 you guys are going to be able to share and process and do all the things and I 466 00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:37.520 just want to tell all of you that I really believe with all my heart. Her 467 00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:43.760 last name or mine?

523 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:10.880 Like, you're just feeling like you want to go into the promised land, but you 524 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:16.440 keep camping out waiting on the other side because you're just not sure. 525 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.280 Let's just, let's call it what it is. 526 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:20.960 You're not sure if God's going to come through for you. 527 00:28:22.800 --> 00:28:27.400 You're not sure if you, if you actually take that step to go into the promised 528 00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:33.200 land, is he going to fulfill the promises that are attached to the process? 529 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:35.440 And that's what Jackie's talking about. 530 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.680 All that fear. 531 00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:41.240 You guys remember she said, you know, fear is all, it's all connected to 532 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:43.320 all those frailties in our flesh. 533 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:49.720 So fear also, if you guys take time to look at it, as you remember back to 534 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.680 heartwork, there's lies associated and connected to it. 535 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:54.760 So what lies are you believing? 536 00:28:54.760 --> 00:29:02.280 Are we believing that keep us in this place of camping out this place of not 537 00:29:02.280 --> 00:29:06.160 really believe in that God's going to give me the blessing that I see him 538 00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:14.800 doing in other people's lives, justifying the continuing to put ourself on the 539 00:29:14.800 --> 00:29:16.480 shelf or, or say, you know what?

719 00:37:46.100 --> 00:37:50.460 We have no nothing but unsafety in relationships, whether that's from our 720 00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:56.060 families of origin or ex-husbands and wives or just former friendships and 721 00:37:56.060 --> 00:37:56.780 relationships. 722 00:37:57.020 --> 00:38:00.940 So Janine, your, your fear, and that was my fear. 723 00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:02.540 And that's probably a lot of our fears. 724 00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:07.260 Those are rooted in the only benchmark we know unhealthy people. 725 00:38:07.660 --> 00:38:12.700 But I promise you, imagine you're in a giant ballroom and there's a curtain in 726 00:38:12.700 --> 00:38:14.100 the center of the ballroom. 727 00:38:14.420 --> 00:38:15.780 You're on one side. 728 00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:17.860 That's called the unhealthy side, right? 729 00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:20.660 But the other side of that curtain is healthy. 730 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.980 And we've never been there. 731 00:38:23.220 --> 00:38:26.980 We don't know what that's like and what this ministry, what this business tree is 732 00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:30.260 doing is it's slowly inching us toward the curtain. 733 00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:35.380 And once we are there at the curtain and it is removed and we're on the other side, 734 00:38:35.940 --> 00:38:40.780 it is a whole new world of people that we didn't know existed. 735 00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:43.860 And these, and I can only speak from the female perspective. 736 00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.940 So gentlemen, bear with me, but here, let's flip it for you. 737 00:38:47.660 --> 00:38:50.820 There are going to be people that you're going to meet that. 738 00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:56.900 They are so entrenched in a walk with Jesus that they're not looking at the 739 00:38:56.900 --> 00:38:59.460 extra 20 pounds you're carrying around. 740 00:38:59.460 --> 00:39:04.020 I'm speaking for myself, ladies, or like, you know, whatever flaws we think we 741 00:39:04.020 --> 00:39:10.700 have, I've been sitting here amazed at how, because my fiance is so rooted in a 742 00:39:10.700 --> 00:39:15.340 walk with Jesus and he's not perfect, but he's rooted in a walk that there are 743 00:39:15.340 --> 00:39:18.700 things that other people in my life were so turned off about me. 744 00:39:18.740 --> 00:39:23.020 Oh, you, you, this, you, that, that this man, I'm not saying he loves these 745 00:39:23.020 --> 00:39:25.900 things, but he's just like, well, honey, you're human. 746 00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:27.580 You know, he has grace. 747 00:39:27.620 --> 00:39:29.940 And I am just sitting here every day. 748 00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:32.180 Like Jesus, is this real life? 749 00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:32.820 Is this real? 750 00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.700 But it is. 751 00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:39.220 And there's healing that comes from it because now I feel safe for the first 752 00:39:39.220 --> 00:39:46.100 time ever to be myself, to be all of myself, to not have to be perfect, to not 753 00:39:46.100 --> 00:39:49.380 have to cover up or compensate for my flaws. 754 00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:53.260 When somebody shows you, they want to love all of you the way that the Lord 755 00:39:53.260 --> 00:39:55.020 tries to love, you know, loves all of us. 756 00:39:55.460 --> 00:39:58.940 You can become the best version of yourself and flourish. 757 00:39:59.300 --> 00:40:00.060 And so, yes. 758 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.760 it's not easy. There are light layers that are going to come with the next phase of relationship 759 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:11.840 that are going to be super challenging. But our job is to keep pressing into Jesus, because he's 760 00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.240 going to keep shining the truth. I admit, and Bethany knows, I went to her, I was like, 761 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.320 you know, about certain things. And she's just like, do not make rash decisions, 762 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:28.240 stand firm in the Lord. And I'm so thankful she gave me that advice. Because when I pressed through 763 00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:33.680 and got to the other side, and tapped into some additional resources, it was like, truth was 764 00:40:33.680 --> 00:40:39.280 shown, I realized it was fear. And that's the word, okay, that's the word, fear. I had been 765 00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.920 with Jackie's ministry since February of 2022. And I hope the ladies that have been in the program 766 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.360 with me since then, I hope y'all would say I worked it like no one's business, because I 767 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:56.560 really did. I was ready to change my life. And so this was everything. And in that, what the Lord 768 00:40:56.560 --> 00:41:03.360 did is he was stripping me of fear, fear, I did not even know I had, he was showing me all the 769 00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:08.480 areas that I was believing a lie or fearing something. And as he was stripping me, and he 770 00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:14.800 was stripping me of relationships, friendships, you name it. I mean, I was so bare bones before I met 771 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.880 my fiance, that I had to get there, I had to get there to not only make room for him, but room for 772 00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:26.080 him mentally, because he has everything I ever wanted, but he came in a package that is very 773 00:41:26.080 --> 00:41:33.200 different than what I would have expected or necessarily wanted. So keep that in mind your 774 00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:39.760 person, maybe your person will be everything you ever wanted, but he or she may not look exactly 775 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:44.960 the way you thought in the package that God presents. But when he strips you, he strips you 776 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:50.000 so your eyes could be opened to what he's doing. And I'm going to stop but that that's everything. 777 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.160 Thanks guys. So good. And you know, just I see Nitton too, I'm going to come to you Nitton. 778 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.440 One of the things I want to say, because we all use different verbiage, some people that have a 779 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.320 very tough time relating to God as a loving God, if they hear the word stripping, they're like, 780 00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:08.880 oh my God, and you're freaking out right now. So I want to encourage you, I always try to remind 781 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:16.080 everybody, it's always an invitation. Jackie said that earlier. Okay. So even the pruning, even like 782 00:42:16.080 --> 00:42:19.600 basically, that's kind of what Anna's leaning into as well. There was a lot of pruning that 783 00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:26.080 needed to happen there. But even in the pruning, you know, there are times where if you have ever 784 00:42:26.080 --> 00:42:30.640 done plants or stuff, you are going to see something that needs clipped. And as the person 785 00:42:30.640 --> 00:42:38.320 pruning, you're doing that. Why? From a posture of love, right? Because you want that plant to grow 786 00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:43.040 bigger, you want it to flourish, maybe, maybe every, you know, certain trees have to be pruned 787 00:42:43.040 --> 00:42:50.320 every year because they grow a more abundant, you know, flowers or whatever in that next season, 788 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:58.480 because it is pruned. But it's not God coming and just ripping something from you, okay? So I really 789 00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:04.320 want to make sure that people don't mishear what is being said when Anna's saying, you know, the 790 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:12.640 word stripping away, because God isn't one to just expose you and cause nakedness. 791 00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:20.240 You know what I'm saying? You all hear what I'm saying? It's an invitation. It's an invitation. He 792 00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:27.680 comes and he knocks on the door of our hearts and he says, I'm here, will you let me in? So today, 793 00:43:27.680 --> 00:43:33.520 all of these things that you're hearing about, it's all an invitation. You guys can choose, we 794 00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:38.240 all, myself included, y'all, I'm already married, but there's so much in this message. You know, 795 00:43:38.240 --> 00:43:42.880 we're preparing to move. We have several offers right now on the table. We're trying to navigate 796 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:48.880 where do we go from here? This word is a relevant word, no matter what season you are in to lean 797 00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:54.640 into. So keep leaning in. I do want to talk about the pruning. I want to hear from some people about 798 00:43:54.640 --> 00:44:00.960 what is God nudging you to prune, so be ready. Nitin, I want to come to you. I just want to 799 00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:08.640 share a testimony and make it quick. In 2004, I was engaged and God broke the engagement and I was 800 00:44:08.640 --> 00:44:15.840 desperate to find a wife. And God said to me, my way or the highway. And I had to lay it down 801 00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:24.240 and I chose God. God brought me under my spiritual mom and dad. And he, through my spiritual parents, 802 00:44:25.040 --> 00:44:31.040 chiseled me so that I could learn about what it is to be a man, spiritual leader, husband, father. 803 00:44:31.600 --> 00:44:38.480 For at least 10, 15 years, I hardly dated. In fact, there were hardly any dates I can recollect. 804 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:46.560 I was in the wilderness season and it was a time of pruning. It was a time of God saying, 805 00:44:46.560 --> 00:44:53.680 I want to see, are you going to trust me when it gets really hard that you don't get what you want 806 00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:59.680 in the time you want? And are you going to trust me? So I dig my heels so deep. 807 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.480 the word of God was my girlfriend, right? 808 00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.480 And I spent hours, months into it. 809 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.400 And I just, and it was hard. 810 00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:14.400 It was not easy, but I did not let go of God. 811 00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:19.440 And over those years, God, he was my only, 812 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.960 there was no like handicap, like we say in golf. 813 00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.180 He was my only source. 814 00:45:24.180 --> 00:45:25.480 And did I try? 815 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:26.560 Yes. 816 00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:28.960 But the grace started coming in 817 00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:33.020 to keep moving on the single journey. 818 00:45:33.020 --> 00:45:36.160 And when I got hold of Jackie's ministry, 819 00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:37.960 I thought I was ready. 820 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.880 So when the hard work came, oh boy, that was tough. 821 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:47.200 But I knew that I had the grace of God 822 00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:49.040 that I had to go through hard work. 823 00:45:49.040 --> 00:45:53.420 And then another layer came off of lies that I had believed. 824 00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:56.480 So all I'm saying is I never gave up 825 00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.140 because God was with me, 826 00:45:58.140 --> 00:46:01.380 but I had to make him my first choice. 827 00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:04.620 And seriously, today, a couple of weeks, 828 00:46:04.620 --> 00:46:06.940 I was just sitting with the Lord. 829 00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:09.700 I'm just praying about the spirit made. 830 00:46:09.700 --> 00:46:12.820 And he told me, Nathan, you are ready. 831 00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:14.620 And in fact, this morning, 832 00:46:14.620 --> 00:46:17.500 I just had a dream that God said, okay, 833 00:46:17.500 --> 00:46:20.300 this is the right time, this is the right season. 834 00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:22.820 So I will encourage ladies 835 00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:26.960 and especially Ann Marie's testimony as well, 836 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:31.440 do not give up, rely on God, 837 00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:35.740 even when it gets tough because he never fails. 838 00:46:35.740 --> 00:46:37.860 And when you are ready, 839 00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:41.240 that person who is there for he has selected for you, 840 00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:44.680 he will present you as he presented Eve to Adam. 841 00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:48.600 Can we get an amen in the chat?
