Hi, welcome to video one.
So let's talk about why is it different this time?
Remember I said already that a lot of you are going to be at a tipping point.
So why is this the tipping point?
You know, you've probably tried all kinds of things.
I know I tried all kinds of things to fix myself.
You know, God didn't want to fix me.
He wanted to heal me and he wants to heal you.
And that's going to take a transformation.
And so the first thing that I want to let you know is transformation is supernatural.
That's why you haven't been able to do it yourself.
I don't know if this is true of your life, but I was really addicted to the new year
magic.
I call it the new year magic.
Just believing that every time that something was going to happen, it was going to be the
game changer.
Like whether it was the new year or it was a new job or a new opportunity or this is
it.
This is the one.
This is the magic bullet of happiness.
That's what I always thought.
And so, you know, with the calendar page turn, there was just nothing different.
There was never anything different.
It was the same old life.
It was the same old stuff over and over again, different day, lather, rinse, repeat.
Because I wasn't stuck on the outside.
I was stuck on the inside.
And that's where you're stuck as well.
You're stuck on the inside.
Let's look at the definition of transformation.
It's a process of profound and radical change.
That doesn't just come from the calendar page turning.
A process of profound and radical change.
You notice that it says process there.
I think we hate that word.
We hate that word because we realize that God is definitely more into crockpots than
he is into microwaves.
And when he gives us a promise, which he has, he's promised us abundant life.
He's promised us that we can live fully alive.
That comes with a process.
Every promise comes with a process.
Your love life, your love life has a promise over it.
You want to be married.
It comes with a process.
You want an upgrade in your vocation.
You want an upgrade in your work.
You don't want to do what you do for a living.
That comes with a process, that promise.
And so it's important that we understand that we'll never have anything unless we're willing
to go through that process.
And so a lot of us, we think, well, I've just been in the process for such a long time.
No, you've been in the waiting room for such a long time.
And the waiting room doesn't have any process in it.
It just has waiting.
We're not preparing.
We're not being stretched.
We're just waiting around.
And so this is the end of the waiting room for you.
You're not going to stay in that waiting room anymore.
Guess what you're going to do?
You're going to get into the process.
And you know what that looks like?
It looks like a cocoon.
You ever seen the butterfly?
See them flying around?
They're so pretty.
You know in your mind that they used to be caterpillars, but that process is something
that is very supernatural.
If you've ever heard about that process, you'll know that the caterpillar doesn't just go
into the cocoon and magically turn into a butterfly.
There's a struggle that goes on inside of there.
It's a dark night of the soul for the caterpillar.
The caterpillar turns into caterpillar soup.
If you were going to rip open the cocoon and take a look at what the process looks like,
and I don't want you to.
Don't do that.
You're going to see that that species, that caterpillar, is not only just getting an upgrade,
it's becoming something completely different.
It's getting an entire DNA change.
Everything that it was was being deconstructed so that it can become all that it could be.
And so that happens to us oftentimes when we sign up for a transformation process like
the heart work.
And I don't want you to get scared because you're like, oh, that sounds really painful.
But it does sound painful if you're going to do it yourself, which is not possible.
But if God's in it, if this is a supernatural process and you're accepting a supernatural
invitation to upgrade, then you can bet that God is going to give you the grace, the enabling
power of heaven, to be able to accomplish what you could never do yourself.
And you have tried, haven't you?
I often joke around that if we titled this the hard work, a lot more people would probably
want to do it because we're used to doing the hard work.
We're always trying to change ourselves and fix ourselves and change and fix others as
well.
But that's all going to come to an end during this process.
You're going to stop doing that.
You're going to surrender.
I call it a supernatural surrender to all.
It's already there.
It's already inside of you.
It's not about becoming it.
It's about unbecoming all of the things that you're not.
All right.
So what is it that you believe that God can do?
I know a lot of us know that faith is the currency of the supernatural.
It's all about having faith, but it's not about what God can do.
It's about what you believe he can do.
And a lot of you may say, well, Jack, you know what?
I just really don't know what I believe anymore.
I've been disappointed.
I've said it so many times, I really don't have that much faith left.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to do it.
I don't know what to do.
And I just want to let you know that all you need is a shred, all you need is a shred of
I don't know what to do.
hope that turns into that radical supernatural faith that creates miracles.
And so you wouldn't be here if you didn't have that shred of hope.
You wouldn't have signed up.
You wouldn't have decided to do your heart work.
And so the fact that you're here tells me that you have just enough faith left for a
miracle because that's really all that it takes.
So that tiny bit of faith, that's all you need.
And I want to activate that faith right now.
I want to activate it.
So I want you to picture God.
If you're someplace where you can close your eyes, if you're driving, it's not a good idea.
But if you're anyplace else, I want you to go ahead and close your eyes, kind of create
that space inside of yourself where you can kind of be alone with God, right?
And I want you to picture God, whatever you would picture if you pictured God.
A lot of people have a hard time picturing him as a father because you've got a lot of
daddy wounds, and we're going to address those during this heart work course.
But picture whatever it is that makes you feel safe and makes you feel secure and cared
for and loved.
And I want you to picture God running towards you, not running away from you, not hiding
from you, not punishing you, not sitting you in the waiting room, not telling you all the
things that are wrong with you, giving you a list of rules that you have to somehow accomplish
in order to please him.
I want you to picture him running to you, running to you, full of expectancy, full of
hope, full of love, passing up the other 7 billion people in the world just to get to
you.
I want you to picture that right now.
And I want you to hear him saying, draw close to me and put your name in there.
Draw close to me, Jenny.
Draw close to me, Adam.
Draw close to me, Brandon.
Draw close to me, Candace.
Draw close to me, Amy.
Draw close to me, whatever your name is.
Draw close to me.
Come on.
Draw close to me.
Come to me.
You know, this is not a 50-50 relationship.
It isn't.
God comes 50% of the way, and then we meet him halfway.
It's not.
If we'll just take one step towards him right now, I want you to see yourself taking one
step towards God, he'll come running the rest of the way.
I want you to hear him saying, draw close to me, my child, my beloved, baby girl, son.
Draw close to me, and I will draw close to you.
I'll draw close to you.
You know, God is emotionally involved in your life.
Do you believe that?
He's emotionally involved.
The definition of relationship with God is that it can't be good for him if it's not
good for you, too.
A lot of people that were raised around religion just believe that God just wants us to do
what he says.
He doesn't care if we're happy.
He just wants us to cross every T and dot every I, and it's just not true.
This relationship is not a one-sided relationship where it's all good for him and it's not good
for you.
It can't be good for him if it's not good for you.
He's emotionally involved with you.
He wants you to be happy.
He wants you to feel secure and safe and have contentment.
He wants you to enjoy this gift that he's given you called life.
I know that might be radical for some of you to hear.
God wants me to enjoy my life.
Yes, he does.
He wants you to enjoy your life.
And so I want to set some expectancy for the rest of our time together in this course.
I think expectancy is what's going to predict your success.
The more expectancy that you can have when you show up and you really believe, because
remember, it's not about what God can do.
It's about what you believe he can do.
You really believe that this is a divine appointment.
You really believe that you're going to leave here changed and that doors are going to open
and opportunities are going to present themselves.
And for those of you that have come here because you want to be married, that you're going
to step into that love story that God's already written for you.
The rest of you, whatever it is, you're going to step into your healing.
You're going to step into that job promotion, or you're going to get to do something with
this one and only life of yours that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning
and just run to it.
Whatever that expectancy is that's going to happen to you, that shift, that transformation,
I want you to just say it out loud right now.
What do you want?
Just say it.
Just say it out loud.
I want this.
I want that.
This is my greatest desire of my heart.
Just say it out loud.
Why?
Why are we doing that?
Because we want to own it.
We've got to own it right now.
We're in a supernatural moment.
I don't know if you can feel that.
I believe that all of heaven's eyes are upon us and God is ready to make happen for you
the deep
desires of your heart, but you've got to admit that you want it.
A lot of times we're done admitting that we want things because we don't want to be disappointed.
We don't want to be let down anymore.
And so this is your opportunity to grab a hold of expectancy and to confess that you
still have those desires and that you still want them.
So go ahead and do that right now.
Come on, say it a little louder.
Say it like you mean it.
Yes, yes, own it, own it, own it like it's yours.
You know, drive it like it's stolen.
Come on, come on, own it.
That belongs to you.
And you know what?
It has been stolen.
So many of you are here to reclaim something that it does belong to you.
It's always been yours.
It just was stolen.
It was lost.
It may have been lost by you by bad decisions and mistakes.
It may have been lost by the people that came before you.
Doesn't matter how it got lost, how it got stolen, how it got misplaced.
It's coming back.
It's time.
You are the person that your family line has been waiting for for a really, really long
time, and you're going to step into those higher places of identity, of blessing.
You know, God promises to bless his friends, their generations.
He promises to bless their generations for, what, a thousand generations, the friends
of God.
I believe that you're sitting here right now and you're listening to my voice because someone
in your lineage was a friend of God.
And maybe that got lost in the generations, and you're the first person to step back into
the place of believing God and having faith and wanting a supernatural life.
Maybe your parents didn't raise you that way, or your grandparents didn't raise them.
Maybe it's a long time ago in your family line.
But God said, I promise that I will bless those that love me to a thousand generations.
And so I believe you're part of that thousand generations, and you're just the person that
your family lineage has been waiting for to step back up and to claim what always belonged
to you guys, so that your children and your children and your children's children can
benefit from that.
And so that's really, really exciting for you to be that kinsman redeemer, and I want
you to own that.
But new beginnings, like we're talking about right now, require endings.
They do.
They require endings.
They require funerals, all right?
Not the person that you don't like, not their funeral.
We're going to do some forgiving during this course, and you're going to let go of all
that bad blood.
If you got bad blood, then you're going to let go of it, all right?
But we do need to sign the do not resuscitate order on some things.
There's some things that we've been keeping alive for a long time that are unworthy of
us.
They're unworthy of our one and only life.
We should not be wasting our time on those things, those people, those communities, those
scenarios that you keep worrying about in your head.
It's time to let that stuff go.
And that's why this time is different.
No matter how many times in the past you've tried to let go, you've tried to move forward,
you've tried to get over it, whatever it was that happened, whatever went wrong, you've
been trying to get over it, this is the time.
This is the time that you're actually going to be able to break free, the time that you're
actually going to be able to move forward, because healing is not a natural occurrence.
It's a supernatural occurrence, and Holy Spirit is here to do the heavy lifting with you.
He's here to do the heavy lifting with you.
I know your brain knows all this good stuff that I'm saying right now, but it's never
been able to make it down to your heart.
Remember what I said about myself?
I really loved God.
I wanted to have this amazing life that I read about in Scripture, but I just couldn't
have it, and I didn't know why.
I thought that I was damaged, that I was messed up, that I was too messed up.
I was too messed up to ever be able to have those things.
But all that was wrong was that it was getting stuck somewhere between here and here.
So it's time for us to move forward, and if you want to do that, I want you just to go
ahead and grab a hold, and don't let go, because we're going somewhere, and we're going to
go somewhere really quick together.
I'll see you soon.
