Okay, welcome everyone to Supernatural Saturday.
If you are new and joining us for the first time, welcome.
We're so glad to have you with us.
Saturday is the day that we look to the Lord as a community.
There is a current prophetic reality right now, regardless of what your actual reality
is, whatever your circumstances in the natural are, there is a supernatural reality all around
us and that is what we tap into on Supernatural Saturday.
And so we look to the Lord, Father God, thank you so much for your goodness, for your grace,
for your love for us.
We thank you that you brought us here together to come before you, Lord, to seek your face,
to ask and get answers, Lord.
We thank you, God, that you have a reality for us this morning that we can step into.
Something that is beyond our current circumstances and the facts of our life because your truth
is always greater.
In Jesus name, amen.
All right.
So I was praying this morning about, you know, what are we doing?
Holy Spirit, where are we going?
You know, we call shotgun, we're gonna get in the car with you and go wherever you want
to go.
But where is that this morning?
And the phrase that continued to go over in my mind was the phrase finishing faith.
And so full disclosure, I definitely have had some discouragement lately.
And you know, here's the thing, here's what's important.
Discouragement doesn't have to happen as a result of some sort of disappointment.
I think that it's important for us to just acknowledge that this morning.
A lot of times if you're discouraged, if you're feeling discouraged, a lot of people will
be like, hey, what happened?
And you'll be like, well, nothing really.
And then maybe people will say you don't have the right to be discouraged because there
wasn't something that was the catalyst of it that you can point to, right?
But discouragement comes as a result of all different types of things.
And so there isn't any huge thing that I can point to where, oh, this isn't working out
or, you know, this problem is weighing on me.
I just have felt discouraged, just period.
And not only that, I have actually in my mind, the phrase has come into my mind several times
a day, several times a day, y'all, yeah, I just, I just don't want to, I just feel like
giving up.
And you might ask, well, giving up on what?
I don't really know.
And so that's why I know it's spiritual.
It's a spiritual thing.
And a lot of times, you know, as someone who is in the place of a prophet, you know, things
will come at me and they come at me in order for me to, um, to realize what is happening
in the body of Christ, right?
Not just in our community, but in the body of Christ.
And I feel like there's a heaviness in the body of Christ.
I feel like there's a discouragement that's weighing on people that they may not even
know where it came from.
They can't really pinpoint it.
It may have been around for a while now and, you know, every once in a while they just
feel like giving up on what?
I don't know.
They don't know.
They just feel like that feeling of defeat, right?
And so I want to go after that this morning, um, because we are not defeated.
The word of God says that we're not defeated.
And listen, if you're on this call this morning, you're on the mountaintop and you're singing,
you know, the sound of music.
That's awesome.
And we are glad that you're there and maybe this message doesn't hit you right between
the eyes this morning, but it might later.
And so go ahead and take it and put it in your pocket for later for yourself and then
intercede for your brothers and sisters today because there's a lot of people that are going
through that.
And so just to go ahead and take a, a poll, raise your hand.
If at any time in the last month you have felt the way that I'm describing, go ahead
and raise your hand.
If you have felt discouraged, if you felt just like quitting, you felt defeat, like
giving up, like what, what does it matter anyway?
Or I just can't do this anymore.
That's my favorite phrase.
I just can't do this anymore.
Do what?
I don't know this, this life, this thing, and it's not like a suicidal spirit.
I don't want you to hear what I'm not saying, but it's just like, I feel defeated.
I might as well just go sit down and self medicate somewhere because I just, I'm not,
I'm not going to win.
All right.
Look at all those hands.
That's lots and lots and lots and lots of hands.
All right.
And if anyone knows this morning what you have felt defeated about, I don't, like I
said, it's kind of been a very vague feeling for me.
Go ahead and put that in the chat.
If you know the subject of what you feel like just giving up on, let's see what that looks
like.
Give people a couple of minutes and I'll read this out loud for the people that will be
watching the replay because they won't be able to see these.
So people are like every area.
It's so weird.
Yeah.
Just feeling burnout.
That's a really good word.
relationships, life, weight loss, weight loss, y'all get on the scale and you weigh three pounds
heavier and you're doing all this stuff, right? And you're like, what the heck?
But you have to also remember if you're working out at all, that's building muscle, muscle
weighs more than fat. I know we don't like to hear that, but it does. Getting a home so I can
relocate, meeting my husband, distress at work, work, work, work. So many of you put the job that
you have teaching, um, whatever job you have. So many of you put the word work. And when you,
when, when we look at whatever we do as work right there, there has to be a reframing, right?
Because what is work? Work is hard. The word work denotes hardship. Doesn't it going to work,
going to work at it, going to work at hard. So we already have to have a reframe in our lives
because if whatever you get up in the morning and you go do you call work,
then you're doing the wrong thing. You're doing the wrong thing. Okay. It should be a vocation
that you're going to. And the word job is just as bad as the word work. So we have to, we have to
figure out what is it that I want to do with my one and only life? What is it that I want to do?
Do I want to work with kids? Um, how do I want to work with kids? Cause some of y'all are teachers
and you're like, I got to get out of here. Uh, I get it. Okay. So a lot of the industries have
changed, especially since 2020. And it's like, okay, um, what I used to love, I don't love
anymore. Well, what's going to make you love it again? If that's what you're called to do,
what's going to make you love it again? What do you have to do to love it again? And these are
questions that we have to ask this morning. Cause you guys, that's on us. That's on us.
And I want to continue this, want to continue this strain, this, this, uh, this, this line of
thought. But before I do that, let's go back to what I said at the beginning, finishing faith.
So years ago, God spoke to me and he said, he said, Jackie said, I'm the author and the finisher
of your faith. And I was like, yes, that sounds really good. He said, but he said, you notice
I'm the beginning and the ends, but I'm not the middle. And I was like, Oh yeah, I noticed that
he's the alpha and the Omega. That's the beginning and the end. He's the author and the finisher,
right? But he's not the middle. Who's the middle? We're the middle. The middle is where you say,
yes, the middle is where you get into alignment. The middle is where you come into convergence.
The middle is where you call shotgun and you get in the car. He can't do that for us because we
have this beautiful gift called free will. So we have to do that. We have to come into agreement.
If we ask him to help us to come into agreement, if you're one of those people, and we're all one
of those people that have trouble being consistent with our agreements because our feelings get the
better of us, then guess what? You can ask God to help you feel the right things. You can ask God to
help you to have faith. You can ask God to help you to come into agreement and come into alignment.
One of the most favorite prayers, I think, that we pray that God loves so much is God help me.
I can't do this on my own. And he's like, oh, it's so good to hear because you weren't supposed to
in the first place. Internalize that for a minute with me. Process that when you feel like I can't
do this anymore. I can't do this alone. It's a good thing because you were never supposed to
in the first place. The only thing that you will ever do kind of in your own strength is surrender.
And he gives us the grace to do that as well. But everything that happens after that will be
done by divine empowerment. The problem is, as we're little orphans, that's what the problem is.
And we run off into this life trying to make things happen for ourselves, the smallest things,
the biggest things. We do it. We lean into our gifts. For those of you that have certain talents
and gifts, you're good at talking. You're good at figuring things out. Some of you are just good
at figuring things out. People come to you and say, hey, can you figure this out for me? And
you're like, yes. And you come up with some harebrained scheme for your friend to get
whatever it is that they want. You're good at processes. You're good at troubleshooting and
problem solving. The thing is, is that gift has now become a weakness because it's overextended
by your orphanhood. It's overextended by your independence. What God gave you as a gift to use
with him, you now use on your own. And the problem with that is, is that you're tired. You're burnt
out. You're overwhelmed. But you were never meant to do it on your own. So he's the author and the
finisher. We're the middle. We have to say yes. We have to give permission, so to speak.
Okay. God is sovereign, and yet he's not in control. That's true. That's biblical. And so
we have to give him permission. We have to sign that permission slip, right? We have to do that.
And then what happens?
He gives us finishing faith.
And that's what I want to talk about this morning.
We need finishing faith.
We started on the road to whatever.
We all started on the road.
You guys started on the road to your spirit mate.
That's how you got here in the first place.
So we had the faith to start because he's the author of it.
He gave it to us.
And now we're kind of in the hallway, right?
We're in between the two doors and we're like, oh, and now we need the faith to finish.
We need the strength to persevere.
We need what it says in the Psalms that if you do not grow weary in doing what you know
is right, taking the road that you know is the right road, that you will what?
You will win if you don't give up.
God has promised us that we're going to win, but he has not promised us that we're going
to win in our own strength.
And this is where all of us are right now.
And so before we go any further, I want you to write down in your little book that if
I start feeling overwhelmed, if I start feeling discouraged, if I start feeling defeated,
if I start feeling disappointed, then the wrong person is on the throne of my heart.
The wrong thing is on the throne of my heart.
I am now in control.
I am now the master of my own soul.
These are not things that we want in life because we are not able to get the things
in life that we want in our own strength.
Look, I know what I can get in my own strength.
I'm a very go get them kind of girl.
I am.
I'm either up or getting up.
God bless me to be born with a personality where I'm always up or getting up.
You'll very rarely ever see me negative.
I'm always finding the silver lining.
I'm always finding my second wind.
I'm always pushing through.
Okay.
But that gift gets overextended and becomes a weakness when I'm not doing that in the
spirit.
I know what I can get in Jackie's strength.
I know what kind of life I can have and it's not a bad life, but I only want, I want a
life that only the supernatural can give me.
That's the life that I want.
I want a life that I can only get through the power of God, not the power of Jackie.
And that's what you should want as well.
And this is where we fall off.
We fall off because maybe you have some kind of religious idea of what it looks like for
God to help you and how you can qualify for that assistance.
And these are usually unconscious thoughts.
We don't come to God with these little things.
We don't ask for finishing faith.
You know, we do so much in our own strengths because we have the idea that we're supposed
to.
A lot of you believe God helps those that help themselves and all types of things that
are not in the Bible.
And then quite frankly, we don't really feel that close to God a lot of times.
And so we don't come to him as a good father.
And a lot of us have really screwed up ideas of what father looks like already.
And that's always lingering in the back of our hearts.
And so we're just do it on our own.
And then we don't get good results.
We get discouraged.
We get burnout.
We get tired.
We get exhausted.
We feel defeated.
And then we want to give up.
And that's where we are.
But God wants to help us.
He wants to help us in every little thing.
When was the last time that you really had a good conversation with your father?
And I didn't say pray.
I said, a good conversation with your father, where you just laid it out and said, hey,
this is what I'm going through, although he knows.
This is how I feel inside.
This is what I need from you.
We're always talking about healthy human relationships and a healthy human will tell you what they
need.
If you're in a relationship with a healthy human, they won't just expect you to be a
mind reader.
They won't just pout around and expect you to know what they need or what they want or
what's missing in the relationship.
They will use their words respectfully to let you know in an honorable way what they're
dealing with.
But we should do the same thing with God.
Yes, he's God.
Yes, he knows.
But there are so many scriptures that say, I know what you have need of before you even
ask.
Yeah, there's things that follow that kind of idea.
But then there's also scriptures that say you don't have because you didn't ask.
And so it's important that we understand that even though God knows us and he knows us more
intimately than we even know ourselves, he wants us to talk to him about what's in our
heart.
He wants us to come to him about what's in our heart and have a conversation.
I saw a really cute movie last night.
Some of you may have seen it, but if you haven't seen it,
it's definitely worth a watch.
It's a tearjerker for sure, but in a good way.
It does, spoiler alert, it does have a happy ending,
which is good, but it's called Ordinary Angels.
And it's about one woman trying to help a family
as an act of redemption for her own wrongdoings
and just kind of to deliver her own soul, so to speak.
And in the movie, the man in the movie, the father,
he's been through a lot of stuff.
And a lot of you feel like that.
You've been walking through hell with gasoline underwear on.
As soon as you get through one trial, here comes another.
Adversity seems to always be dogging your steps,
and I understand that.
I've lived that, I get it, I understand.
And that's kind of this man's story in the movie as well.
His wife passes away, and his little girl's sick,
and he's got all these bills mounting up,
and he feels overwhelmed, and he doesn't know what to do,
and he's also really mad at God.
And some of you, the reason why you don't ask God for help
is because you're actually pretty mad at him.
You would never admit that because, oh my God,
we're not allowed to be mad at God, but we are.
We're mad that things didn't work out
the way we expected them to.
We feel like he didn't do what we asked him to,
or even what he said he was gonna do
through some word you received.
There's all different reasons why we would have a block
between us and God, a block.
And you've been in human relationships like that.
It's not that you don't love the person,
but there's some kind of undealt-with business
between you and that person,
and it causes there to be that rift,
that chasm between the two of you, right?
Where you don't feel close to them.
You might even be living in the same house with them,
but you just don't feel that intimacy,
or that closeness, or that vulnerability with them anymore
because of that undealt-with situation, okay?
That offense, that hurt.
And we get offended at God,
and we really do get offended at God.
And this guy in the movie was playing that, depicting that,
and I thought that was really great
because so many people go through that.
In fact, I think all people go through that at some point.
And his little daughter, not the one that was sick,
but the other one who's a couple years older.
I'd say she's about nine,
eight or nine in this movie, this girl.
They're sitting at the mother's graveside,
and she's like, you know,
are you mad at God?
To her dad, and he's like, no, kind of thing.
And she's like, you know,
when's the last time you talked to him?
You guys, it was so powerful.
When's the last time you talked to God, Daddy?
You know, I don't know.
Well, can we talk to him?
You know, we don't pray anymore.
We don't talk to God.
Can we talk to him together?
Yeah, I guess so.
And then he goes to her, you start.
And then just very conversationally,
she was like, hi, God.
This made me want to cry.
Hi, God, it's me and Daddy.
Hi, God.
Some of y'all just need to sit down and be like, hi, God.
Hi, Daddy.
I'm here.
I need to talk to you.
And I know a lot of us don't have a representation of that
in our real life of a father figure like that.
I'm one of those people.
But I will tell you,
your heavenly father was your first father.
And he will be your last father, okay?
He is your father.
And so regardless of what human example of father,
quote unquote, you have had, you know,
you have a good father.
So many people be like,
well, if I would have had a good father.
You do.
And I've become such a daddy's girl.
I have.
Become such a daddy's girl.
And I want that for all of you.
Daddy's boy.
I know there's guys on this call too.
Sorry, guys, if I forget about y'all sometimes.
I want you to have that type of relationship.
That doesn't mean I always get my way.
No, it doesn't mean everything always goes right in my life.
No, no, it doesn't.
But I do feel held.
I do feel loved.
I do feel seen and known.
I do feel supported.
I do feel protected.
I do feel defended.
I do feel led and guided.
And I do feel promoted.
And I do feel like
God is helping me to do what it is that I need to do.
And so many of us look at people
that have come from good families
and specifically have good fathers.
And it seems like they're just doing better in life.
And I feel like having a good father
is a really important part of your identity process
and a really important part of your success.
And the thing is this, is that we can have that too.
It's not too late.
You might look at those people and say,
well, you know, if I would have come from a good family
or if I would have had.
support when I was a kid so I could have followed my dreams if I would have had this, if I would
have had that.
It doesn't matter now.
You didn't have that and it's still not too late for you to have whatever it is that you're
thinking that you missed out on.
And so let's press into that idea today.
A lot of you that are feeling, and here's the thing, if you're feeling restless, there's
a difference between discouragement, all right?
The word dis, God showed me this years ago, so the word, let's take the word disappointment
for instance.
The word dis actually means the removal of something, right?
And the word appoint, you guys know what that means.
That means to select something, to appoint it, to give it authority for something, right?
And so we're going to remove the authority from something in our lives.
When we're disappointed, what's happening is that the authority that you've given something,
say a new relationship, or a new job, or something that you expected to happen, a check
in the mail from some sort of refund, whatever, that didn't show up.
So the authority that you gave that thing to make you happy, to solve your problems,
come on y'all.
The authority that you gave that thing in your life to be the magic bullet of happiness,
it now has to be removed.
That authority has to be removed.
It has to be dissed.
Why?
Because it wasn't that in the first place.
And that's the feeling that we feel, like, oh, I expected this thing to, the authority
that I've given this thing to be what I was missing.
And now I feel down because that authority had to be removed because it was misplaced
authority.
You guys following me here?
But guess what?
We can't be disappointed in God because he really is in a place of authority.
He really is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask, think, or imagine.
By what, though?
By the power that works in us.
What power is that?
I think it's a lot of different things.
I think it's the power of hope, supernatural hope and faith.
I think it's the power of permission.
I think it's the power of surrender.
Obviously, it's the power of Holy Spirit, right?
So we have so many disappointments in our lives that lead to discouragement, that lead
us to, you know, our courage to leave us, our boldness to leave us.
But most times, those disappointments, those things that we were counting on happening,
we had them in the wrong seat on the bus.
We had them in the wrong place on the wrong throne in our heart.
So we have to come back and we have to say, hey, why do I feel this way right now?
What was I expecting to happen from this?
And how can it still happen?
How can it still happen?
Even though this thing that I was counting on didn't happen, how can it still happen
in my life?
What is it that I really want and need?
And then you come to God with that and say, hi, dad.
Hi, God.
This is what I want.
This is what I need.
Now I thought, daddy, that it was going to come this way because it's important to get
down to what it is you really want, not the vehicle that you thought it was going to show
up in.
Okay?
Like, for instance, you're like, some of you are like, I saw you put that you're getting
discouraged in the area of your spirit mate and you're getting, you're getting discouraged.
You're feeling like giving up, but you come to God and you're like, hi, God.
Where's my husband?
Hi, God.
Where's my wife?
No, it's important to come to God and say, you know, what's the deeper thing?
I'm lonely.
Hi, God.
I'm lonely.
Hi, God.
I feel overwhelmed with the things I'm doing in life and I don't have a partner to help.
This is a two person job.
You guys got to get down to the deeper thing.
Do you guys see what I'm saying here?
See what I'm saying?
Hi, God.
I have this pain in my body and I'm discouraged by it because I'm finally, I'm finally doing
what you've asked me to do for years and that is make time for myself and some self-care.
I'm making time to move like you told me to.
I'm finally doing it and now this pain is showing up and it's trying to shipwreck me.
It's trying to sideline me.
It's trying to keep me from being able to get healthy.
All I want to do is be able to walk, God, and I'm finally saying yes to taking care
of this body that you've given me and now this pain is trying to keep me from being
able to do it. And now I feel discouraged. You guys see where I'm going with this? Okay.
So wherever it is, whatever it is, the thing that you're disappointed about or discouraged
about what's the deeper need, the deeper need. I want you to think about that really quick.
Holy spirit help us see the deeper thing, the deeper need. Like the example I use about
spirit mates. I'm lonely. I want to, I want, I'm overwhelmed. I need, I need a partner.
I need help. Okay. So I want us to focus on what I'm asking for right now. What is the
deeper thing? What is the deeper thing? And if you don't know what it is, ask Holy spirit
to show it to you. What's the deeper thing? All right. Then when you got it, go ahead
and put it in the chat. When you got the deeper thing, go ahead and put it in the chat. Lonely
loneliness, fear. Is there a deeper thing Jill to fear? Is there a specific fear? You
guys underneath wanting a spirit mate, sometimes the fear is dying alone. It's okay to admit
that you can admit that to us. You can admit that to God. What's the deeper fear in the
place of what? I'm sorry. What's the, what is the, the deeper thing underneath your
discouragement and your disappointment? And remember, I'm not just asking the deeper thing
on spirit mate stuff, wherever you're discouraged. A lot of you put your jobs,
a lot of you put your health. I want those deeper things. That's what I'm asking for.
This is not just a call about spirit mates. A lot of you haven't caught on yet. So I'm going
to go ahead and tell you the secret. You know, you are here because God drew you here because
of something you wanted. You wanted a spirit mate. You want to be married. You want romantic
love in your life. And so you saw the ad or you, you know, you heard your friend's testimony or
whatever got you here. That's why you're here. And God has a love story for you, a human love
story, a romantic love story, but that's not all he has for you. Oftentimes God uses the thing that
we feel like is the magic bullet of happiness. And a lot of you still believe that that's what it is.
Oh, if I just had that partner, if I just, you know, if I still just met that love of my life,
well, I want to let you know something. You've already met the love of your life.
And it's not a human. Now, this is not a sermon about God should be enough for you. And you
shouldn't want this. And you just need to know Jesus better. I don't believe that you guys know
that I don't, I don't teach that God created us for human relationship. He is the source of love,
but he puts resources of love in our lives called people to show us how much he loves us. But you
have already met the love of your life. And it is important that we keep the main thing,
the main thing. Now there are elements of God that you will never understand until you see those
elements coming through a human, because let's face it. We love God, but we want something with
skin on it. We do. And we were created to want something with skin on it, right? Adam was in
the garden and God saw that he wasn't fully fulfilled. He wasn't fully fulfilled being in
paradise with the presence of God. Guys, he was a paradise with the presence of God. And he had a
purpose. He was a steward of creation and it was not enough for him. God saw that he needed
something else. And he didn't just need some someone to help him steward the garden. Like
when we say the word help me, people are like, Oh yeah, you know, it was just too big of a job.
He needed another person. No, he needed to be in relationship with his own kind. Why? Because
God knew that that would enrich his relationship with God. And that is what good human relationships
do for us. And sometimes bad human relationships do that for us too. They drive us to God.
And so God knows that you have need of that.
He does.
But you guys, it's not disconnected from the other things you have need of.
I'm trying to show you this morning through Holy Spirit, through the power of Holy Spirit
this morning, that it's all connected.
It's all connected, everybody.
So look at all those things.
Look at your brothers and sisters are putting up in the chat.
What's the deeper need?
What's the deeper fear?
What's the deeper disconnect?
What is it?
Someone put in a private message to me, the deeper need is to just be accepted for who
I am.
Wow.
Come on.
The deeper need is just to feel accepted as I am.
Yes.
You guys, that's supernatural.
In relationships with people, if you have people in your life that just allow you to be where
you are, to be messy, that accept you where you are and who you are right now, that's
a God thing.
That's a God thing.
People that will just love you in your process.
And guess what?
You're not here in this community, but you got to show up.
I mean, we don't, we can't love you for who you are if we don't know you.
So you got to show up.
You got to show your face.
That's important stuff.
So God wants us to know that we can reach out.
We can talk to him.
We can talk to him as a friend.
God wants to be your friend.
He wants to talk to you.
He already knows the deep, intricate workings of your heart, but he wants you to tell him
about those things.
And as you talk to him about those things, he'll actually show you more about yourself
than what you know.
You'll actually start having some aha moments about, you know, what you really believe and
what you really want.
So sometimes you guys will show up and we think that we want a certain thing and we
show up to God and we're like, Hey, I'm upset because I don't have this thing and I want
this thing.
And we have this talk, you know, my grandma, when I was little, she used to sing this song
have a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
Now I didn't really know much of what she was talking about because I didn't meet Jesus
when I was a child.
I met him.
I might have met him when I was a child and I just didn't know it.
But I really, really had a really good meeting with him when I was 22 but have a little talk
with Jesus makes it right.
So you show up and you have that conversation.
And as you're telling him about the things that you want and the things that you don't
have, you start to have an understanding that that really isn't what you want.
You start to have a deeper revelation of what you really want.
Has that ever happened to anyone?
It's definitely happened to me.
You're actually fixated on the lesser thing.
You want this lesser thing and God knows because he's God that that isn't what's going to truly
make you happy.
You don't know it yet, but he does.
And so this is where disappointment comes in.
You've appointed that thing as the magic bullet of happiness, but God knows better.
He knows that if you really got that thing that you were praying for, that not only would
it not make you happy, it might actually make you something else.
That's not good.
And so that is why prayers are just as important as answer prayers.
And that's why your Jesus cares board is so important in this process.
And for those of you that stopped using it, start using it again.
For those of you that are brand new, if you haven't got to the module where we talk about
the Jesus cares board, it's in the first two weeks of your heartwork phase one.
So you should have gotten there by now, hopefully.
But if you haven't, you will use your Jesus cares board because this is where you put
things into God's hands and you let him show you whether or not they're either they're
even worthy of your attention.
This is where you let him show you whether or not you should even be concerned about
these things.
Okay.
And obviously, we don't want to bear our own burdens.
We want to cast our cares upon him because he cares for us.
But is this something that should even be on my radar?
Because you don't just put your worries up there.
You also put your wants up there, right?
You also put the things that for whatever reason, you you want them, but you can't have
them and you don't know why and you put them up there.
You put them up there and you let God show you.
And I've experienced this.
And hopefully you haven't.
And if you haven't, hopefully you will.
That when I have done that with my disappointments, you know, this isn't working out, God, I don't
understand why.
And I put it up there.
pretty soon all of a sudden either something works out and there's
breakthrough in that area or I no longer care like I don't even want it anymore
and I take it down I crumple it up and throw in the garbage I was like yeah you
know I just that's lost its luster for me just lost its luster and not because
I'm disappointed it's lost its luster because I just see it differently
through a different lens than I did before
I'm gonna pray that over you right now father change our lenses clean our
lenses clean our lenses right now I just really sensing that someone has rose
color glasses on right now you're seeing a situation through the idealness of how
it could be instead of how it really is and so you're really pining away for
this thing to be the way that you see it with these rose-colored glasses on
and that's not the reality of this situation and it's not about oh well
reality can change with the power of Holy Spirit no because it involves the
free will of somebody else and the way that you're seeing this situation is not
the way it really is and so I just pray right now that you will be able to take
those rose color glasses off and you'll be able to see this situation this
scenario the way it really is so that you can move on with your life and that
is a word for someone this morning that is a word for someone I'm also sensing
that there's more than one person that you see everything through the lens of
childhood trauma you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop you're always
waiting for something to go wrong in fact you can't even get excited about
opportunities in your life because in the back of your mind there's always the
nagging feeling that it's just not going to work out it's just not gonna work out
it's not going to happen you've had way way way too many
disappointments and because of that you know you are no longer able to get your
hopes up about anything so you have those those glasses on that you know you
might even consider yourself a realist in the way of how you look at things
well you know we'll see we'll see well God wants you to see my friend he wants
you to see the way that he sees and so we just pray right now that those lenses
will be cleaned off that you'll be able to get excited about something without
feeling the fear of getting those hopes up that your supernatural hope would
arise in situations that you become positive where you've been very negative
always looking at the glass is half-empty half-empty always looking at
things from a place of scarcity instead of a place of fullness and abundance
life is for you life is for you God is for you we just release that over
everyone that applies to this morning so that was to give us finishing faith
friends we can't we don't have the faith to finish he says that he does that he's
the author and finisher so we're in the middle and we're on this ride we're
buckled in we've been here for some time and now we need that second win we need
that finishing faith we need that encouragement we need that hope to arise
we need it we have to have it we can't we can't conjure it up on our own it's
not something in our human ability it's not something that we can do yes Lord I
want to remind everyone that we do have our monthly prophetic night tomorrow
night and so if you've never joined us for that try to join us live if you can
our prayer team is going to be there it's always a really great time and that
is tomorrow night on our Sunday night activation call I see Crystal in Ohio
her avatar is a butterfly in hope the word hope there just see it flashing
here on the screen and that is definitely a right on time word for so
many of you you guys I live out here kind of in the country and there's a
very very very long winding road to get to my house it's not my driveway it's
just the road off of the main you know the main street road that's two miles
away then there's like a two mile kind of winding country road to get to my
house okay and all of a sudden on this country road I've noticed that there's
all these woolly bears there's all these there's all these furry caterpillars
crossing the road right and I'm trying my best not to run them over every time
I drive that road
to go into town, so to speak, um, I'll have to avoid those caterpillars, right?
Like a video game, because there's so many of them.
And I noticed that it's that season.
It's that season where they're doing what they are headed towards the cocoon.
That's what they're doing.
They're eating like the hungry, hungry caterpillar.
They're getting ready to head towards the cocoon where they're going to be transformed.
And you guys, I live in an area where you've never seen so many butterflies.
In fact, we're on the migration path of the monarch.
So there's a certain time of year where if I sit outside on my front porch, um, you know,
especially in the morning time or in the evening at dusk, there'll be thousands of monarchs
that are just flying over.
It looks like a swarm of something.
You're like, what is that?
It's butterflies.
Butterflies just flying and migrating and doing whatever it is and going wherever they
go.
And I don't know if that's because I'm in Texas and you know, they, they winter, they
winter in Mexico, they're wintering in Cancun.
I'm not really sure because I didn't look it up except to know that we are on the migration
path and my eyes attest to that because I see them.
And a lot of you are in those different stages of, um, of chrysalis in the, in that transformation
process.
Some of you are in air and you're just in seasons of abundance right now.
You are, there's just so much abundance.
You're like that, that woolly bear that's just eating.
There's just nonstop opportunity and abundance and you're just flying high and it's great.
And you know, you're going to be headed towards a time of stretching, but you're not there
yet and enjoy this time.
You guys were, it's important that we enjoy every season that we're in.
That's the finishing faith.
We got to enjoy the seasons that we're in, not always pining away after the next one.
There is sweetness and we'll do a whole different supernatural Saturday on this.
There is sweetness in every season, right?
There is, there's sweetness in every season.
And so then you're going and in, and then the people that have gone past that stage
and they're in that stage where, you know, they're beginning to prepare to go into that
transformation stage.
Some of you are, you know, in the thick of it, of that transformation stage.
You feel like you're being torn apart.
You feel like you're being completely, you know, uh, down to mush.
For those of you that have read the first couple of chapters of the heart work, you
know, that's what happens in those cocoons.
It's goo.
It's caterpillar goo.
And I don't know how old I was when I heard that and finally realized that that was happening.
It was a long time ago and I was like, Oh, that's not, that's not cool.
But it's important that we understand that those transformation spaces, they don't just
make you a better version of yourself.
They make you a difference, a different, a whole different self.
You know, a butterfly is a caterpillar is going into the cocoon, one species, and it's
coming out another species.
There's a complete transformation that's taking place.
Everything has changed, right?
Everything has changed.
And so a lot of you are in the thick of that where you're, everything is just kind of falling
apart so that better things can fall together.
And then some of you are in that place where you've been through that and now you it's,
you've been transformed, but you're not quite soaring yet, right?
You're not because you're still kind of beating yourself, beating your way out of that cocoon.
And we all know that when butterflies are coming out of the cocoon, that's what strengthens
them.
You know, that struggle of coming out of that place of transformation is what strengthens
them and helps them.
You know, the child, when it's coming out of the birth canal, the struggle to be born
where it's pushing and it's coming, you know, that is important for the child.
That's important for the baby.
We can give C-sections now and we do, but those babies that come out C-sections, there's
a lack of strength there, right?
It's not that they don't gain it and they gain it quickly, but the children that come
through the birth canal, there is something that they have that the ones that have been
delivered C-section do not.
Now not for the rest of their lives, but for those moments after birth, right?
For those first couple of weeks and, you know, maybe months after birth.
And then there's those of you that you're on the other side, you're not the living in
the abundance of the caterpillar state, you know, just fat, dumb and happy.
You're not in that place, but you're, you're soaring, you're flying high in the spirit.
You have a supernatural focus in life.
You know, you feel like you have come into a place of convergence with the things that
God has spoken.
to you and shown you and then here's the good news and the bad news is that
regardless of what season you're in there's there's sweetness that's the
good news and this isn't really bad news but it's just the reality that we'll
continue to cycle through all those cycles in different areas of our lives
for the rest of our lives on earth there will always be an area of
transformation that's happening sometimes simultaneously to a
transformation of to a to a season of breakthrough there's always something
that we're being refined in and that's why it's really important that we begin
to enjoy the process because the process is the point you have to enjoy your life
right where you are and for those of you that are discouraged about your weight
you know I'm right there with you I gained 50 pounds my mom passed away
seemingly overnight and seemingly for no reason nothing in my life had changed as
far as habits were concerned obviously I'm almost 50 years old so my hormones
do play a role I understand all that so if you're gonna start posting in the
comments all kinds of tips for me trust me I've heard them all but here's the
thing that I realized I have to just love myself at every at every interval
of life you know a lot of you are holding back on loving yourself until
you get to a place where you feel like you're worthy of love
and whether that's some addiction that you're dealing with okay whether it's
you know you're holding your own feet to the fire of you know oh well I got to do
this better I have to manage my time better I have to do this better it could
be your fallen prey to something that you don't want to do you continue to
make the same life-controlling behavior mistake over and over and over again
whether it's looking at porn or whether it's you know eating your emotions it
doesn't matter whatever it is and you're not gonna love yourself in those messy
spaces and that's where you're going wrong and I understand that you don't
have the love to love yourself but that's where the finishing faith comes
in you're like well Jackie how does that have to do with this it has to do with
it because you're coming to God you're saying you know I'm asking you to give
me the faith to believe in myself I'm asking you to finish my faith to believe
in the goodness that has been inside of me because you said that there's no good
thing in me except for you so you're in me and regardless of what mistakes or
decisions I'm making that means that there's still good in me and I'm going
to I'm gonna maximize on that I'm gonna optimize on that I'm gonna choose to
look at the best version of myself so that I can become the best version of
myself right we have to have finishing faith to believe in ourselves we have to
so I made a decision that you know what I'm gonna treat myself as good as I can
I'm gonna eat as healthy and clean as I can I'm going to move and by the way
that example of hey I'm moving I'm trying to do what you've instructed me
to do God but there's pain in my body that's keeping me from it that's my
example all of a sudden what I'm trying to really get after you know health
healthy lifestyle as far as moving and prioritizing moving I hurt my foot I
have some kind of plantar fasciitis so when you think of me pray for me my foot
was not injured and yet it is not good and because of that it's trying to keep
me from being able to do what it is that is in my heart to do and so regardless
of that what I've decided is is that you just have to love yourself where you are
and here's the other thing that I want to say to someone and probably more than
one someone you know degrading yourself and berating yourself never really
brought any kind of significant change did it it didn't in fact the problems
that you are beating yourself up over you probably still have them because
that is not how change comes change comes through love that's how change
comes and so if you really want to see yourself have breakthrough in that area
you have to ask God to help you to give you the love to love yourself with first
of all all right because you don't have it and that's fine but he can give it to
you this is part of that finishing faith you know if Jesus died for you then it's
important that you have the faith to understand that you must be really
worthy I want you to say that over yourself if Jesus died for me now I know
you die I know you know that he died for humanity but you need to personalize
that because it says that he died for you it says he saw you when he was on
the cross he saw you when he was on the cross he died for you and as you as you
on the cross and so you need to internalize the truth that if he died
for me then that must mean that I'm worthy
That must mean that I'm valuable.
That must mean that I'm important, right?
You guys, for so many of us, the breakthrough lies right here.
I know these are simple concepts, but you have to ask God to help you to believe them,
to give you faith to believe that they're true, the finishing faith to believe that
they're true.
Because with that kind of faith, you're going to come to God.
Doesn't the scripture say that without faith, it's impossible to please God?
But why is it impossible to please him?
Because if you have faith, then you're going to come to him and believe that he is a rewarder
of those that seek him, right?
So without faith, you're going to try to do it on your own.
You're going to constantly be in your own strength and your own power, leaning into
your own gifts, trying to accomplish what you cannot accomplish in the flesh because
it has to be done in the spirit.
But with faith, you're going to be able to come to your father, even as a hot mess express,
and believe that you're worthy of love, that you're worthy of notice.
You're worthy of attention.
You're worthy of help.
Yes, Lord.
All right.
I know it's tight, but it's right.
I know you all are quiet and I know you're processing, but at the same time, I believe
that this is getting deep into your heart.
There's so many nuggets this morning from Holy Spirit.
Obviously none of this plan, none of it written down, all of it just downloaded from the spirit
realm and something for everyone.
Little nuances, something for everyone.
So I want you to go ahead and put in the chat what you got out of this morning.
What spoke to you?
What do you know was a word for you this morning?
What area of this Supernatural Saturday talk was directly aimed at your heart?
Let's see those.
Yes, Jeannie, he is the love of your life and he wants to share you with a man.
Yes, look at all that beautifulness.
You guys really read this for those of those listening and replay.
So many people having breakthrough and self-deprecation in areas where they don't feel seen or don't
feel like they're worthy of attention, self-medicating disappointment and discouragement.
The rose-colored glasses really stuck out to Brittany and Karen.
Becoming a daddy's girl, becoming a son.
Lots of people, the rose-colored glasses, that just hit you.
Yes, we're the middle.
We're the middle, y'all.
And it's good.
You just, you're only the middle.
When you try to be the beginning or the end, when you try to take it all on in your power,
I'm just the middle.
One of my favorite things to say, in fact, I thought about getting it tattooed on my
body so I remember it, is because I have a tendency to forget about it.
Because you guys, I'm actually an orphan.
I mean, like, I'm not an orphan.
I'm a child of God.
But I mean, like, I, that's my experience.
That's my earthly experience.
I was orphaned.
So, and a lot of you have that experience too.
You didn't have a mother and father.
You know, I was sent to live in a girl's home.
I lived in foster care.
So I, those tendencies die hard.
They really do.
And so I'm always trying to just kind of make it happen for myself.
But my favorite thing to remember is John 15.
I'm just a branch.
And that goes along with you're the middle.
Those are, those are very similar concepts.
I'm just a branch.
He's the vine.
I'm just the branch.
I can't make anything happen in my own strength, but I still got to show up.
What's a vine without a branch?
You guys, I know that people are like, well, God doesn't need our help.
That's biblically not true.
Especially when it comes to your own life.
To him who's able to exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask,
think, or imagine by the power that works in you.
You are an important part of the equation.
The end and the beginning and the end don't even get connected unless there's a middle.
The middle is what connects the beginning and the end.
The branch is what connects the vine to the fruit.
Someone needs to get ahold of that idea, including myself.
God needs us to bear fruit in the earth.
That process can't happen without us.
We are the middle man.
We are the middle y'all.
Whoa, you are the middle God needs you
And why does he need you because that's how he designed it. This is God's idea. It's God's idea
It's God's idea and yes, Tammy
You can have parents in the home and still be orphaned and still feel neglected and uncared for. Amen. It's true and
You guys those I have to do it myself if it's gonna get done that I have to do it
I have to figure it out a lot of you feel like God just thrust you into the earth and said good luck kid
I hope you make it
God showed me years ago that that was my mentality and that's not true. We are cared for we are loved we are held
protected defended provided for but
we have to allow that process and
Remember that we're just the middle when we try to be the beginning or the end when we try to be divine
That's where everything goes wrong
All
Right y'all thanks for joining me this morning
Thanks for joining me y'all
Yes, Olga said even when God came to earth. He still needed Mary to give birth even though it was supernatural
She was the middleman woman
So good guys, we're gonna continue this powerful goodness tomorrow night on
Our time together in the prophetic we won't continue it exactly like this
It'll be more like words of knowledge and wisdom prophetic words all kinds of you know, things being released
I hope that you can come live. If not, we will record it
We do record that Sunday night session so that people that cannot be there for whatever reason get to
Listen in and if you do listen in you you will hear something even if you weren't there in
In person you'll hear something that's directly for you because that's the way the prophetic works
All right, go with God. Have a supernatural
Saturday. Love you all. Bye
