00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.840
Hello everyone, so good to see you.

2
00:00:02.840 --> 00:00:05.840
All right, so I'm gonna do a few things here.

3
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:07.040
Give me one second.

4
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:43.200
All right, I'm having trouble doing what I need to do.

5
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.800
Bethany, if you could make me the host, that would be great.

6
00:00:48.800 --> 00:01:10.240
All right, now you can take that back.

7
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:14.600
You can take that host permissions back because when I leave, then you'll need to be the host.

8
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:15.600
All right, so that's awesome.

9
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:18.080
So we're gonna get started right on time here.

10
00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:19.760
So let's just go ahead.

11
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:20.760
Five minutes late.

12
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.640
That's right on time for most of us.

13
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.640
That works out.

14
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:32.080
All right, so welcome to all community past sessions.

15
00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.600
I just want to do a little housekeeping here at the beginning about our app.

16
00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:36.960
Who's excited about the app?

17
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:41.600
Who's excited about having one place, one stop shop for all things curriculum, for all

18
00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:43.280
things community?

19
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:44.840
Very exciting.

20
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.320
And I'm excited that we're going to have that opportunity.

21
00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:53.000
So what's happening this week is all of our team, and that includes all of our amazing

22
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.840
volunteers that we love so much that help moderate their peer coaches in the groups,

23
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:04.240
they run our single cities, all of those folks are going to get an opportunity to go onto

24
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:05.240
the app first.

25
00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:06.240
Why?

26
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:08.960
Because we need to try it out in real time with real people.

27
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:09.960
Okay.

28
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.720
So those 50 so people are going to get to go over this week and they're going to get

29
00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:18.160
to poke around and break things if necessary.

30
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:23.760
You know, click on stuff, double click on stuff, do all the things so that we can see

31
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:26.320
that it's working the way that we want it to.

32
00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:30.200
And then what will happen next is our phase three community and our men's community will

33
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.800
be the next people that get to get migrated over to the app.

34
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.720
Now, it is my desire that you would love the app so much and you guys, this is not this

35
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:40.280
is a custom app.

36
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:41.680
This is an app for our community.

37
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.160
This is an app unlike anybody else's app.

38
00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:45.160
Okay.

39
00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:50.520
Meaning that we have taken everything that we do in this community in account when creating

40
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.400
this app with the developers of what is that we need, what we would love to see happen

41
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:56.400
for our community.

42
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.200
And so everything that you need is there for those of you that always get lost and you're

43
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:01.200
like, where's the link?

44
00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:02.200
Guess what?

45
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:03.200
We got you.

46
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:07.880
So regardless of what part of the app you're in, you're going to be able to see very clearly

47
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:14.040
at the top of your phase, the chat, the conversation that's going, which would be your newsfeed

48
00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:16.160
on your Facebook groups.

49
00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:17.880
You can see the curriculum.

50
00:03:17.880 --> 00:03:19.960
You want to go and revisit something that you missed.

51
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.000
You'll see a tab that says replays like where the replays.

52
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.000
It's right here.

53
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.000
Very easy.

54
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.000
Very easy.

55
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.400
A little index at the top, little index tab.

56
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.760
So everyone remember those file folders, the little tabs, really easy to open the tab and

57
00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:35.960
just look at what's in that folder, so to speak.

58
00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:39.400
And then of course, there will be the today tab, y'all.

59
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.120
It will tell you what's happening today in the last year single, you'll be able to click

60
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:45.320
on that tab.

61
00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:49.000
You'll never miss a session because you'll know what's happening today in real time.

62
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.760
It'll also tell you the time that it's happening at and even the length that it's happening

63
00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:53.760
at.

64
00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:55.800
And then there'll be an events tab for all the future events.

65
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:56.800
But guess what?

66
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.240
When the future event gets to today, it'll be in the today tab.

67
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.680
And so you can look and kind of, for all of you that are planners, let me see all the

68
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.680
planner hands.

69
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.960
You're like, I need to know 50 years in advance, Jackie, of what you've got going on.

70
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:10.960
Well, we got you.

71
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:17.440
We can't give you 50 years in advance, but we can give you several weeks to a month,

72
00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:21.399
maybe even more in advance, and you'll be able to plan your schedule accordingly.

73
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.320
All of you that are in phase three are going to have a regular coaching call, just like

74
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.240
phase one and two does every single time that this day rolls around.

75
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.840
And you notice that I'm purposely not telling you what day it is because we haven't decided

76
00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:33.840
that yet.

77
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.440
Every time that day rolls around, you're going to have a 1 p.m. session available to you

78
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:40.640
and an 8 p.m. session available to you.

79
00:04:40.640 --> 00:04:45.240
And the good news is, is that 8 p.m. session will always be an all-community session.

80
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.640
It'll be a past session.

81
00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:50.240
It'll be a single spotlight session where we're letting you see single guys or single

82
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.080
girls depending on what you're interested in, right?

83
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:56.680
And of course, we know what you're interested in based on your gender because we actually

84
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.640
do gender around here.

85
00:04:58.640 --> 00:04:59.760
Gender is not fluid here.

86
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.840
Gender is not relative here.

87
00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:04.880
Gender is whatever it is.

88
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:07.640
Whatever you were born with, that's what you are, y'all.

89
00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:10.480
And so we're gonna help you out in that area.

90
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.600
And what else can happen on that day?

91
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.640
A little love seat fun, a little love story fun.

92
00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:18.440
And so you'll see just that there's an all community event

93
00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:23.440
for phase three every single time that, you know,

94
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.560
on that day.

95
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.200
So there'll be a one o'clock session

96
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:28.320
with Q&A and Ask Jackie stuff.

97
00:05:28.440 --> 00:05:31.040
And then there'll be that evening session as well.

98
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.280
And we do that 1 p.m. Eastern session for all of you

99
00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:36.280
that can't come to nighttime sessions

100
00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:39.400
and or are international and living in different time zones

101
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:42.520
where it is nighttime when you're coming to that session.

102
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:44.920
And so we want to expand internationally.

103
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.740
And so that brings me to our next thing.

104
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:49.560
So the app is coming, it's coming to all of you.

105
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.520
We're gonna get the phase three people on there.

106
00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:53.280
And then the phase one and two people

107
00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:54.680
who are not in this group right now.

108
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.120
So it doesn't matter if I say this or not,

109
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.360
cause they're not gonna hear it.

110
00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.360
They're going to enter into the app

111
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.600
when they leave those phases and they come into phase three.

112
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.320
So that's when they will be on the app.

113
00:06:03.320 --> 00:06:06.000
And then everyone will be able to partake of the app

114
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.040
as give us a week or two when you're on there

115
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.120
cause we're working out kinks,

116
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.000
we're making sure everything works good.

117
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.840
But we are hoping that everything will be worked out

118
00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:20.040
before y'all get on there and say, what's wrong with this?

119
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.480
Because we've really been working,

120
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.920
our team has been really working on making sure

121
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.180
that it's a smooth transition for everyone.

122
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:29.340
That being said, last trip single.

123
00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:33.580
We sold out our first Cartagena retreat.

124
00:06:33.580 --> 00:06:34.700
I know that it was a little bit out

125
00:06:34.700 --> 00:06:37.820
of a lot of people's budget, but that's how much it cost.

126
00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:39.540
We're not making money on that trip.

127
00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:41.580
Just so you guys know, that's how much it costs

128
00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:44.860
to go to an all-inclusive type of place like that.

129
00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:48.100
It was low hanging fruit for us for our first trip

130
00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:51.340
because we have a Colombian national

131
00:06:51.340 --> 00:06:52.420
that's helping us with that,

132
00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.540
planning travel for us and doing things.

133
00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:56.460
And so that is really important

134
00:06:56.460 --> 00:06:57.940
that we just went ahead and broke the seal

135
00:06:57.940 --> 00:06:59.260
on last trip single.

136
00:06:59.260 --> 00:07:03.800
That being said, there is one spot open for that trip still.

137
00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:05.860
We thought we filled it,

138
00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.540
but we actually didn't communicate

139
00:07:07.540 --> 00:07:09.100
to the people that were interested in it.

140
00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:10.300
So I will go through the emails,

141
00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.500
first come first serve for that one spot.

142
00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:16.140
For the rest of you, there is a 2025 cruise

143
00:07:16.140 --> 00:07:18.900
that goes on sale today.

144
00:07:18.900 --> 00:07:21.300
All right, you're going to only have like three or four days

145
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:22.300
to make your down payment.

146
00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:24.020
I think your down payment's like 200 bucks

147
00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.500
or something like that, $250, whatever it is.

148
00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:27.340
And guess what?

149
00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:31.860
You have until January of 2025 to pay for your cruise.

150
00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.340
And I think most of the state rooms,

151
00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:34.640
because they're double occupancy,

152
00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:36.740
so if you can come with a roommate,

153
00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:39.260
sign up together and there's a place on the form

154
00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:40.820
to tell us who you want to room with.

155
00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:42.580
You can't room with the opposite sex,

156
00:07:42.580 --> 00:07:44.660
so don't even try it, okay?

157
00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:46.460
Unless you're married, then you can.

158
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.000
But if you're not, you can't.

159
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.340
That will be a co-ed,

160
00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:53.420
meaning that registration will be open for men and women.

161
00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:57.500
And we need at least eight state rooms to sell

162
00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.980
by the due date, which I think is the 25th,

163
00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:02.660
and then we can open up more.

164
00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:05.620
So if at least 16 people sign up for that

165
00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:08.220
right out of the gate and pay their deposit,

166
00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:10.220
then we can open up more and more state rooms

167
00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:11.980
all the way to, I think, 40,

168
00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:15.020
which would be a total of 80 people on that cruise with us.

169
00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:18.580
And that cruise is out of Florida, Cape Canaveral,

170
00:08:18.580 --> 00:08:20.380
to the Western Caribbean.

171
00:08:20.380 --> 00:08:22.660
Going to be a really, really, really fun time.

172
00:08:22.660 --> 00:08:23.500
And guess what?

173
00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:24.800
We're gonna be making payments on it

174
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:25.640
all the way till January.

175
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:27.580
So for those of you that are on a fixed income,

176
00:08:27.580 --> 00:08:28.820
I think that she's gotten it.

177
00:08:28.820 --> 00:08:31.060
Our travel consortium, travel agent,

178
00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:33.780
has gotten it to where you can pay like 100 bucks

179
00:08:33.780 --> 00:08:35.500
here and there and everywhere

180
00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:38.620
until you get to paying off your cruise, right?

181
00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:40.360
So that's gonna be exciting.

182
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.340
Other trips.

183
00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:45.660
I am going to London and Paris in April

184
00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:47.660
to scout out a retreat for you all.

185
00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:50.380
So if you are in Europe already and you're like,

186
00:08:50.380 --> 00:08:52.860
when is last year's single coming to Europe?

187
00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:54.060
It's coming in April.

188
00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:55.100
So I'm gonna go there.

189
00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:56.140
I'm gonna scout that out.

190
00:08:56.140 --> 00:08:58.220
I'm gonna talk to leaders in that region.

191
00:08:58.220 --> 00:08:59.460
Trying to get what?

192
00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:00.300
Two things.

193
00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:02.460
Trying to get trips opened up for y'all,

194
00:09:02.460 --> 00:09:03.780
not but not just that.

195
00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:06.500
Trying to get community opened up for you all

196
00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.700
so we can make some international matches.

197
00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:11.220
I believe that God has said that relocation,

198
00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:13.700
relocation, relocation is the name of the game

199
00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:15.740
from 2020 to 2025.

200
00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:16.820
And I believe that a lot of you

201
00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:18.580
have international love stories

202
00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:20.320
and I wanna help you to connect

203
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.860
with those international folks.

204
00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:23.860
And so we are gonna do that.

205
00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:26.360
And that might mean them moving to the States as well, right?

206
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:27.860
Not just you moving to Europe,

207
00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:29.580
but them moving to the States.

208
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:31.860
And so I'm gonna go scout that out

209
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:33.940
and I'm willing to meet up with anyone in Europe

210
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:35.820
that's there, any of our community.

211
00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:38.140
And then in September,

212
00:09:38.140 --> 00:09:42.020
we are going to have a Paris retreat.

213
00:09:42.020 --> 00:09:43.540
Okay, so for those of you that are like,

214
00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:45.660
man, I really wanna go to Paris,

215
00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:47.140
but I don't have anyone to go with,

216
00:09:47.140 --> 00:09:49.060
then go ahead and put that in the back of your mind

217
00:09:49.060 --> 00:09:52.540
because we're gonna be announcing stuff about that soon.

218
00:09:52.540 --> 00:09:54.660
We're gonna have a lot of domestic stuff as well.

219
00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:58.620
We are going to have a South Florida conference.

220
00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:00.220
We're going to have an Austin.

221
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.640
conference for those of you that are like, when is Austin?

222
00:10:02.640 --> 00:10:07.480
It is going to be right after Austin City Limits.

223
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.160
So it's going to be in October.

224
00:10:09.160 --> 00:10:12.280
As soon as the music festival moves on out of Austin,

225
00:10:12.280 --> 00:10:15.120
that is when we're going to have our Austin retreat.

226
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.460
For those of you that have heard how amazing it was

227
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:20.240
when we had it before, it is really that amazing.

228
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.360
And we are going to be having that at the end of October.

229
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.200
All right.

230
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.000
And so there's lots of fun things happening

231
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.660
with the single cities and in-person one day events.

232
00:10:29.660 --> 00:10:31.760
I'm going to be in Dallas tomorrow.

233
00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:34.180
If you are in the Dallas Fort Worth area, please come.

234
00:10:34.180 --> 00:10:35.620
I'm going to post it on my Instagram.

235
00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:36.620
Go over and look.

236
00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:39.740
I'm going to be speaking on a panel

237
00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:42.980
for a singles community that is located in Dallas.

238
00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:45.620
So come meet some other singles in your area

239
00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:47.300
that are not attached to this movement.

240
00:10:47.300 --> 00:10:48.500
There'll be some that are there

241
00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:50.100
when y'all come and see me,

242
00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:51.940
but then there'll be others that are just part

243
00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:53.500
of a different singles group.

244
00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.580
Come and meet them.

245
00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:56.100
We would love to see you out there.

246
00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:58.540
Remember, go to my Instagram, Jackie Dorman Official.

247
00:10:58.540 --> 00:11:01.140
I will be posting information about tomorrow.

248
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:02.300
All right.

249
00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:04.260
That being said, let's get started.

250
00:11:04.260 --> 00:11:07.140
So tonight you guys were talking about momentum.

251
00:11:07.140 --> 00:11:08.100
We're talking about momentum,

252
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:11.060
and we are going to have both of our master coaches

253
00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:12.100
on this panel with me.

254
00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:14.620
So that is Renee and Bethany.

255
00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:18.420
And we're going to dig into momentum in a couple areas.

256
00:11:18.420 --> 00:11:21.260
Momentum in your relationship with God,

257
00:11:21.260 --> 00:11:25.700
your spiritual life, momentum in your purpose on earth,

258
00:11:25.700 --> 00:11:27.460
you know, and that would include your finances

259
00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:28.620
because we don't chase money.

260
00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:31.540
Money chases us when we get into the sweet, sweet spot

261
00:11:31.540 --> 00:11:33.180
of what we've been created to do.

262
00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:34.820
And what you're created to do changes

263
00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:36.540
in every season, you guys.

264
00:11:36.540 --> 00:11:39.420
And every season, not meaning, you know,

265
00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:41.020
winter, spring, summer, fall,

266
00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:42.700
but every season of your life,

267
00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:44.340
you have to be open to a pivot.

268
00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:48.860
Got to be open to scaling, open to change.

269
00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:51.980
And if you feel like you're living in lack and scarcity,

270
00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:53.900
it's because you probably didn't pivot.

271
00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:55.180
And maybe you didn't know how to pivot,

272
00:11:55.180 --> 00:11:56.500
or maybe you were too scared to pivot,

273
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.460
or maybe you didn't have support to pivot.

274
00:11:58.460 --> 00:11:59.300
But we're going to talk about

275
00:11:59.300 --> 00:12:02.540
what builds momentum in your purpose.

276
00:12:02.540 --> 00:12:04.180
Remember, your purpose is to show this world

277
00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:05.820
what it looks like to be a son and daughter of God.

278
00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:07.300
But all of you are going to do that differently

279
00:12:07.300 --> 00:12:08.700
through your vocation.

280
00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:11.820
So there's a difference between vision and mission.

281
00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:15.860
Okay, your mission on this earth is to show this world

282
00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:17.900
what it looks like to be a son or daughter of God.

283
00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:19.420
And the way that you walk that out

284
00:12:19.420 --> 00:12:21.300
in these different seasons of your life

285
00:12:21.300 --> 00:12:22.980
is going to look different for everyone.

286
00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:26.140
And it's going to be about your passions and your giftings.

287
00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:29.620
And your talents and your desire, all of those things.

288
00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:33.300
And even what pisses you off, that comes into play as well.

289
00:12:33.300 --> 00:12:36.180
Because I believe that whatever makes you the angriest

290
00:12:36.180 --> 00:12:39.380
about the world around you is probably a problem

291
00:12:39.380 --> 00:12:41.460
that you have been called to,

292
00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:44.540
not just be part of the solution for,

293
00:12:44.540 --> 00:12:48.180
but also to make some kingdom,

294
00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:51.260
make some kingdom dent in that issue, okay?

295
00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:53.660
So solutionaries for those problems

296
00:12:53.660 --> 00:12:54.660
is what we're called to be.

297
00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:55.940
And then last but not least,

298
00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.100
what does it look like to gain momentum

299
00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.580
or scale our love lives?

300
00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:01.020
Go ahead, if you want to write something down,

301
00:13:01.020 --> 00:13:03.820
you want a one-liner from Jackie, I say this a lot.

302
00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:06.060
God is going to scale your heart

303
00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:08.780
before he scales anything else.

304
00:13:08.780 --> 00:13:10.860
He's going to make room here.

305
00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:12.140
We're never stuck on the outside,

306
00:13:12.140 --> 00:13:13.900
we're always stuck on the inside.

307
00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:16.260
So he is going to scale your heart

308
00:13:16.260 --> 00:13:18.700
in the area of relationship

309
00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:20.620
before he gives you the relationship

310
00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:21.980
that you've been praying for, right?

311
00:13:21.980 --> 00:13:24.700
He's going to give you capacity to receive it.

312
00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:26.020
He's going to scale your heart

313
00:13:26.020 --> 00:13:27.580
before he scales your business,

314
00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:29.060
before he scales whatever it is

315
00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:30.060
that you've been praying for,

316
00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:31.860
that you want to scale, that you want to grow,

317
00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:32.780
and that you want to enlarge,

318
00:13:32.780 --> 00:13:34.180
and that you want to gain more territory.

319
00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:36.700
And God is going to first make that capacity

320
00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:38.420
inside of your heart.

321
00:13:38.420 --> 00:13:40.580
That being said, if you're a procrastinator,

322
00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:42.980
let's see your hands, get them up, get them up fast.

323
00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:45.140
You're someone who takes two steps forward

324
00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:48.540
and 18 steps back because you wait too long

325
00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:50.580
and you sit around and you're a dreamer,

326
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:53.500
but you're not a taken actioner.

327
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:55.100
Okay, you like to think about it,

328
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:57.340
but you don't actually do anything with it.

329
00:13:57.340 --> 00:14:00.140
That's connected to a lie.

330
00:14:00.140 --> 00:14:03.420
Procrastination is connected to heart wounds.

331
00:14:03.420 --> 00:14:05.460
It's connected to trauma.

332
00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:08.740
Even clinicians, even secular psychologists

333
00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:13.460
and psychiatrists will tell you that procrastination,

334
00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:15.460
especially the kind where you're stuck

335
00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:16.900
and you're not moving forward,

336
00:14:16.900 --> 00:14:19.540
is always connected to PTSD.

337
00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:24.420
It's connected to some sort of post trauma behavior pattern.

338
00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:27.500
Okay, do you believe it?

339
00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:32.140
So in order for us to talk about momentum tonight,

340
00:14:32.140 --> 00:14:34.700
you're going to have to be willing through this conversation

341
00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:37.180
to look at where you're really stuck

342
00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:39.700
because you're not stuck out here.

343
00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:41.580
You're only stuck in here.

344
00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:44.620
And so what is the trauma-based lie that you're believing

345
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:47.660
that's causing you to not take the steps forward?

346
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.820
Okay, God is going to help you as you help yourself.

347
00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:54.540
And I know that that is not a popular thing to say.

348
00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:59.540
It's like, oh, no, faith without action, that's you.

349
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.920
to helping yourself without works.

350
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:04.940
Faith without action is dead religion.

351
00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:05.780
Write it down.

352
00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:07.760
You can have dead religion all day long, you guys,

353
00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:08.600
but it's dead.

354
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.840
It's dead.

355
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.440
Meaning nothing is gonna grow from it.

356
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:13.920
No life is gonna come from it.

357
00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:15.980
And so it's important that we get to the roots of this

358
00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.520
while we're talking tonight.

359
00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:19.120
We might get into some hard work stuff.

360
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.940
I don't know.

361
00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.780
We'll see where we go.

362
00:15:20.780 --> 00:15:22.080
All right, so let's go ahead.

363
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.720
And since Bethany, you're a host now,

364
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.920
if you could spotlight me and Renee and yourself,

365
00:15:27.280 --> 00:15:29.980
and then we will go ahead and go after this.

366
00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:31.400
I do have to leave early

367
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:33.560
and then it will just be Renee and Bethany

368
00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:35.200
finishing the job tonight.

369
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.840
And I know that it will be great.

370
00:15:38.020 --> 00:15:39.880
So I couldn't claim host back.

371
00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:41.600
Renee, can you pin us?

372
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.440
Okay, wait a second.

373
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.000
I'll give you host back.

374
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.440
Let me do it.

375
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.520
Awesome, thanks.

376
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.160
Mm-hmm.

377
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.280
All right, done.

378
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.320
And if I seem a little hyper, you guys,

379
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.040
because I drank matcha today.

380
00:16:03.040 --> 00:16:04.560
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

381
00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:06.640
And also I went to a wedding today.

382
00:16:06.640 --> 00:16:08.640
Guys, I went to a beautiful wedding

383
00:16:08.640 --> 00:16:10.200
of a widow from our community.

384
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.040
She came in here like a lot of you saying,

385
00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:13.300
you know, I don't need to do any work.

386
00:16:13.300 --> 00:16:14.440
I've done a lot of inner healing.

387
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:15.960
I'm so healthy.

388
00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:19.200
But the truth is that, you know,

389
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.920
everybody has hard work to do.

390
00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:22.880
And God brought her here to prepare her

391
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:24.600
and to get her ready to receive the love

392
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.200
that he already had coming for her.

393
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.840
And the fun part of that story is,

394
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.680
is that she was match made

395
00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.680
by another member of this community.

396
00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:35.560
And the funner part of that story

397
00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:38.260
is that that same woman tried to introduce her

398
00:16:38.260 --> 00:16:42.160
to her now husband, as of right now, she's married,

399
00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:44.880
to her now husband two years ago.

400
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:47.480
And she wasn't ready, wasn't interested,

401
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.240
didn't want to go there.

402
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.560
And then guess what?

403
00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.320
She did some more healing, came into this program,

404
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.640
surrendered to God, surrendered the pen to God.

405
00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:58.620
And then that introduction circled back around,

406
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:01.060
and she's now married to that guy.

407
00:17:01.060 --> 00:17:01.900
Woo!

408
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.440
Fun stuff.

409
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.119
You guys, I've been getting a lot of testimonies too

410
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:07.760
of people, you guys remember in phase two

411
00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:09.440
when I told you, tell everyone you know

412
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.339
that you wanna get married.

413
00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:13.200
Put it on your Facebook if you're brave.

414
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.200
Put it out there.

415
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.960
I've been getting testimonies from people

416
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.079
who have been in here for about a year

417
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.640
that they did that when they first came in, crickets.

418
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:21.480
Nothing happened.

419
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.440
Everyone was like, yay, cool, that's great.

420
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.920
Okay, I'll keep you in mind.

421
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.520
But now they're getting introductions

422
00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:29.940
from the people that they said that to.

423
00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:31.000
Took a minute.

424
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.160
Guess what?

425
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:33.760
There is a timing in this.

426
00:17:33.760 --> 00:17:35.680
It's not a waiting room type of timing,

427
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.120
but it's a, hey, you can move

428
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:40.240
at the pace of your heart work.

429
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.240
So if you really wanna focus in

430
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:46.240
and let God show you where you're gonna sabotage it

431
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.360
later on, then we can get this thing moving

432
00:17:49.360 --> 00:17:50.440
a little quicker, all right?

433
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:51.680
So I believe that.

434
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.760
And remember, it's not just about your readiness.

435
00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:55.200
It's about your children's readiness.

436
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.440
For those of you that had kids,

437
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.480
it's not just about your readiness.

438
00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.760
It's about their readiness.

439
00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:01.320
And I know you would love for them to be ready

440
00:18:01.320 --> 00:18:03.320
because you've been divorced for 14 years,

441
00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:06.280
but just because they haven't been with dad

442
00:18:06.280 --> 00:18:07.900
doesn't mean that they're ready for you

443
00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:11.060
to bring them a new man into their lives, okay?

444
00:18:11.060 --> 00:18:12.700
So it's about their readiness.

445
00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:15.020
And so doing heart work with your kids is really important.

446
00:18:15.020 --> 00:18:16.340
Don't just be doing this for yourself.

447
00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:18.780
Take what you're learning here and do it with your children.

448
00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:20.860
And we're gonna give you more opportunities for that.

449
00:18:20.860 --> 00:18:23.460
And then also it's about the other person

450
00:18:23.460 --> 00:18:24.620
that is gonna partner with you.

451
00:18:24.620 --> 00:18:26.020
It's about their readiness.

452
00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:28.100
So that's why it's important that we show up to prayer,

453
00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:29.540
that we're praying over men.

454
00:18:29.540 --> 00:18:31.860
We're praying over the revival of marriage and family

455
00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:34.300
because God puts people in people's lives

456
00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:35.300
to get them ready.

457
00:18:35.300 --> 00:18:37.060
And that is an important part as well.

458
00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:39.260
My father-in-law gave me this beautiful ruby ring

459
00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:43.100
that he had in the Air Force, and I put it on today.

460
00:18:43.100 --> 00:18:45.900
Guys, family restoration is happening.

461
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:48.460
One more thing, one more thing.

462
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:51.420
Sorry, this is the matcha talking right now.

463
00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:55.180
This is the thing, and that is this Saturday

464
00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:57.220
on Supernatural Saturday,

465
00:18:57.220 --> 00:19:02.020
we are going to be celebrating springtime and Purim.

466
00:19:02.020 --> 00:19:03.460
And for those of you that don't know what that is,

467
00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:05.300
that is the Feast of Esther.

468
00:19:05.300 --> 00:19:08.220
And we are going to be celebrating that together

469
00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:10.220
because it starts at sundown on Saturday,

470
00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:12.580
but we're gonna be talking about the prophetic word

471
00:19:12.580 --> 00:19:13.580
that God gave me today,

472
00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:16.940
and that is spring season of this year, 2024,

473
00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:19.660
is about divine reversals.

474
00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:22.060
So if you need a reversal in your life,

475
00:19:22.060 --> 00:19:22.980
you need a do-over,

476
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:25.020
you need whatever didn't work out before

477
00:19:25.020 --> 00:19:26.900
to be reversed in the circumstances

478
00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:28.060
to go the different direction,

479
00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:29.180
if you need that,

480
00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.900
you're gonna wanna be on Supernatural Saturday

481
00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:32.900
and Sunday night activation.

482
00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.540
All right, we're ready to go.

483
00:19:34.540 --> 00:19:38.460
So Bethany, let's start talking about how to scale

484
00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:43.220
and how to gain momentum in our spiritual lives.

485
00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:44.140
Let's start there.

486
00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.580
So you want me just to riff kind of some of the notes I have?

487
00:19:49.580 --> 00:19:50.860
Is that what you're wanting me to do?

488
00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:54.460
Yeah, and then you guys can chime in and Rizzo

489
00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:58.500
and Bethany and I will answer some questions

490
00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:00.140
as you guys tell us.

491
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.640
your feedback.

492
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.880
Yeah, so one of the things I was thinking about

493
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.400
as far as like when I gained momentum spiritually

494
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.400
in my own life is I started spending time with people

495
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:13.840
who were further along than me, not just in person,

496
00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:17.560
but like books and absorbing content and absorbing wisdom

497
00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:22.420
from other people that had giftings that I not just desired,

498
00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:25.900
but I wanted to step into in order to take territory

499
00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:29.240
for the kingdom, but also the in-person

500
00:20:29.320 --> 00:20:32.480
and not just what I could get from them,

501
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.640
but how could I be a blessing to them as well?

502
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.320
So there's this mutual exchange

503
00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:41.240
that I would even consider a divine exchange

504
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:43.200
that happens that I wouldn't just go to them

505
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.540
asking for something from them,

506
00:20:44.540 --> 00:20:47.200
but I would go to be a blessing to them

507
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.160
and in that that I would receive something through them

508
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.840
that the Lord had for me.

509
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:56.720
And so years ago, I made a list of people

510
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.880
that I wanted to meet and to come into contact with.

511
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:02.560
Some of those people are big name people,

512
00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:04.800
but I still believe God is working in those.

513
00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:07.120
So that's one of the things I felt like

514
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:10.560
was a big shifter for me spiritually.

515
00:21:10.560 --> 00:21:11.840
Okay, let's stop right there.

516
00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:13.340
Let's unpack that for a second.

517
00:21:13.340 --> 00:21:17.480
Who has a list of people that you would wanna meet,

518
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.880
that you would want to ask a question to

519
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:21.800
or have so into your life?

520
00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:22.960
Who has a list like that?

521
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.640
It looks like like one person or three people.

522
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.240
All right, so I want you to put in the comments right now

523
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.540
who would be on your list?

524
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:33.520
And I won't be offended if I'm not on that list.

525
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:34.360
Oh, shoot.

526
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.120
You guys get a heavy dose of me all the time.

527
00:21:38.120 --> 00:21:39.440
Who's on that list?

528
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.440
Have you ever thought about it?

529
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.600
And you're like, well, we're not supposed to idolize people.

530
00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:45.160
That's not idolizing people.

531
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:50.520
That's respecting the success and the anointing

532
00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:54.640
and the gift that someone is to either the body of Christ

533
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.760
or just the world and wanting to honor them or meet them

534
00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:01.720
or believing that they have something to impart to you.

535
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:04.040
There's a strong precedent of impartation

536
00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:04.960
in the word of God.

537
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.240
All right, let's see.

538
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:10.320
Who we got?

539
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:12.360
Rizzo, Bethany, who are they saying?

540
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.240
Yeah, so I see John and Lisa Bevere.

541
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.980
I mean, I saw a lot of Jackie.

542
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.360
Us as the team, Amanda Grace.

543
00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:24.440
I see Donna De Silva.

544
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.320
Let's see, Real Talk Kim, Bill Johnson,

545
00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:30.640
Brene Brown, Kevin Young.

546
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.780
I see another Bill Johnson, Randy Clark,

547
00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:38.360
Dano Arthur.

548
00:22:38.360 --> 00:22:40.040
I'm not sure if I think,

549
00:22:40.040 --> 00:22:42.360
and then it says Dano, Arthur Burke, Randy Clark.

550
00:22:42.360 --> 00:22:45.200
So I'm just not sure if that's, I think that's two people.

551
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.160
Brandon Lake, Jennison Franklin, Annie Downs,

552
00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:52.280
Michael Dalton, Chris Vallotton.

553
00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:53.760
Do you want me to keep going?

554
00:22:53.760 --> 00:22:55.320
Yeah, you know what's so fun about this list

555
00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:57.760
is that I have had the privilege

556
00:22:57.760 --> 00:23:00.320
to have some of these people so into my life.

557
00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:02.960
Dano McCullum, I spent holidays at his house, y'all.

558
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.160
I spent Thanksgiving and Christmas time

559
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.600
with Dano and Regina, good friends of mine.

560
00:23:08.600 --> 00:23:12.240
Chris Vallotton also has become a friend of mine

561
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.600
and just saw him the other day

562
00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:17.160
and has become a father to me.

563
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.040
And so very much, very much appreciate that.

564
00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:23.480
Someone put, I saw someone put Michael Dalton on here.

565
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.440
I was just hanging out with Michael the other day.

566
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.360
In fact, I prophesied over Michael.

567
00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:29.880
I gave, you know, hanging out, eating with Michael,

568
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.960
friend of mine and, you know, prophesied over him.

569
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.120
So the reason why I say that is to say this,

570
00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:37.680
is that these people that you're holding in high esteem,

571
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.000
they could actually become your friends.

572
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.600
They could actually be people that you don't know right now,

573
00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:45.120
but you end up doing community with later, right?

574
00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:47.920
Being in community, being in family with them.

575
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.800
And so it's important for us to the people

576
00:23:51.800 --> 00:23:53.480
that are ahead of us, so to speak,

577
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:55.040
in areas where we really want breakthrough

578
00:23:55.040 --> 00:23:56.320
to be praying over them.

579
00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:59.320
So that is the next key to momentum.

580
00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:01.080
Bethany just shared some really great nuggets.

581
00:24:01.080 --> 00:24:02.680
Now I wanna share one.

582
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:06.200
If you really respect and admire

583
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.800
something that someone else is carrying

584
00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:10.760
and you resonate with it because you believe

585
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:13.560
that you're carrying something similar, pray for them.

586
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.160
Pray for them.

587
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.360
Pray that God would bless them.

588
00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:19.560
Pray that God would increase them.

589
00:24:19.560 --> 00:24:21.840
Pray that God would cover them and protect them.

590
00:24:21.840 --> 00:24:23.440
Pray for them, okay?

591
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.120
Because you have no idea what they have to do or sacrifice

592
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:30.960
to get to that level of success in that area, right?

593
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.880
And it's important that we're doing that

594
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.840
because I believe that if you really respect someone

595
00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:38.200
and you really believe

596
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.000
that they're carrying something important,

597
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.680
then it's important for us to pray for them,

598
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.880
especially if there's someone that you always listen to.

599
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.040
You always watch their videos.

600
00:24:47.040 --> 00:24:48.080
You always read their words.

601
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:50.200
A lot of us love Lana Bowser, right?

602
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.600
Have you ever donated any money to her ministry?

603
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.280
If you love what she's saying, sow a seed on it.

604
00:24:57.280 --> 00:24:59.640
I know that's so religious to a lot of people

605
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:00.480
and a lot of people.

606
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.320
You have been abused by paying tithes.

607
00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:05.140
You've been abused by the whole sow a seed kind of idea.

608
00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:08.020
Trust me, I got the mug and t-shirt on all that.

609
00:25:08.020 --> 00:25:08.860
I get it.

610
00:25:08.860 --> 00:25:09.900
But you know what I've learned?

611
00:25:09.900 --> 00:25:14.400
I've learned that money is the least thing in the kingdom.

612
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:15.900
Meaning if God can't trust you with it,

613
00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:17.800
he can't trust you with anything else.

614
00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:23.380
Money is the smallest thing in the kingdom.

615
00:25:24.220 --> 00:25:26.100
And so for those of us that are praying for anointing,

616
00:25:26.100 --> 00:25:27.060
we're praying for influence,

617
00:25:27.060 --> 00:25:28.680
we're praying for all of those things,

618
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.920
but we won't use our money to invest in our betterment

619
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.840
or invest in the furthering of something else

620
00:25:34.840 --> 00:25:36.600
that's kingdom, then guess what?

621
00:25:37.820 --> 00:25:40.040
That means we're pretty immature still in that area.

622
00:25:40.040 --> 00:25:41.240
And I had to learn that, you guys,

623
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:44.200
because I was discipled by a church

624
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.140
that used money to abuse people.

625
00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:48.600
Pay your tithes and if you don't,

626
00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:50.120
God's gonna curse you and take your house.

627
00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:51.540
Your house is gonna burn down.

628
00:25:51.540 --> 00:25:53.920
Or your car is gonna blow up

629
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:55.320
and you're not gonna have a car anymore

630
00:25:55.320 --> 00:25:56.780
because you didn't pay your tithes.

631
00:25:56.780 --> 00:25:58.560
Well, I think it's more important to pay your light bill

632
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.240
than pay your tithes.

633
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.760
And if you're really that broke that you definitely,

634
00:26:02.760 --> 00:26:06.280
God doesn't need your money, but he does need your heart.

635
00:26:06.280 --> 00:26:07.760
And so it's important that we understand

636
00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:09.940
that if it's a heart issue, it's a heart issue, right?

637
00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:11.880
But if someone really blesses you

638
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.720
and they're carrying something really authentic,

639
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.440
then sow into it, whether it's money,

640
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:20.500
whether it's your time, whether it's your talent.

641
00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:23.840
My mom used to volunteer at Joyce Meyers conferences.

642
00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:25.260
She would sign up to volunteer.

643
00:26:25.260 --> 00:26:26.100
What was she doing?

644
00:26:26.100 --> 00:26:28.280
She was sowing into that ministry.

645
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.400
She was investing her time and her talent

646
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:34.680
with caring for people and helping people find out

647
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.280
where they need to go and where they need to sit.

648
00:26:36.280 --> 00:26:37.640
My mom has a hospitality gift.

649
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.440
She did when she was on this earth,

650
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:41.160
she was using that to sow into it.

651
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.160
So Bethany and Rizzo, that's another way we can get momentum

652
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.960
is by blessing the people that bless us

653
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:54.000
and sowing into the people that are sowing into us.

654
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.200
I believe in that divine exchange.

655
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:57.040
I do.

656
00:26:57.040 --> 00:27:00.080
I believe that that seed, if it's in good soil,

657
00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:05.080
will take root and bear fruit and quickly a lot of times.

658
00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:06.260
And guess what?

659
00:27:06.260 --> 00:27:07.080
You're good soil too.

660
00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:08.120
I want you to say that over yourself.

661
00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:08.960
I'm good soil.

662
00:27:10.040 --> 00:27:11.320
I am good soil.

663
00:27:11.320 --> 00:27:12.960
I've done my hard work and guess what?

664
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.940
I'm good soil.

665
00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:17.240
So as I sow into others,

666
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.420
God is going to bring people to sow into me.

667
00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:23.660
All right, so Rizzo, you're up.

668
00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:24.800
You're up to bat on this one.

669
00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:25.880
What do you got?

670
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.280
Yeah, so this is a new one

671
00:27:27.280 --> 00:27:29.320
that I've done recently in the last year,

672
00:27:29.320 --> 00:27:32.880
especially you guys, when I left my full-time job.

673
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:34.440
And to Jackie's point,

674
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.400
like when I wasn't able to tie my church like I used to,

675
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.040
I've been volunteering my time,

676
00:27:40.040 --> 00:27:41.400
but I'm doing it differently.

677
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.120
It's been so easy for me to gravitate

678
00:27:44.120 --> 00:27:46.960
towards the things at church that I already know how to do.

679
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.480
And so I've been delving out into ministries

680
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:51.960
that I never thought I would do.

681
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.240
Like two years ago,

682
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.680
I helped put together the set

683
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.440
for our Easter play in service.

684
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.960
And I worked alongside somebody who is a florist

685
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.160
and owns like a home and garden thing.

686
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.480
And she taught me about flower arranging.

687
00:28:09.360 --> 00:28:12.280
And since then, at two of my nieces' weddings,

688
00:28:12.280 --> 00:28:14.620
I'm now becoming the flower arranger

689
00:28:14.620 --> 00:28:15.840
for all the centerpieces.

690
00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:19.760
Like I don't know how to grow a flower to save my life,

691
00:28:19.760 --> 00:28:23.520
but I can now arrange bouquets like no one's business.

692
00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:26.920
And I'm also helping with the landscaping team.

693
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.040
I helped paint the murals at our new building.

694
00:28:30.040 --> 00:28:32.400
And so it's exposing me to new people

695
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.880
in the church community,

696
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.760
finding out about new talents I didn't know that I had.

697
00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:39.760
And it's kind of stretching me and growing me.

698
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:42.040
Like it would be so easy for me to volunteer

699
00:28:42.040 --> 00:28:43.720
in prayer and women's ministry,

700
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:45.280
because that's what I know how to do it.

701
00:28:45.280 --> 00:28:48.160
But it's been so fun helping, you know,

702
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:51.480
the men with the landscaping and behind the scenes here

703
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.240
and planting the flowers over here.

704
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.400
So if you feel like your spiritual life

705
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.440
is kind of stuck and in a rut, go try something different.

706
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.800
And the fact that you're like, oh my gosh,

707
00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:02.520
but I would be terrible at it,

708
00:29:02.520 --> 00:29:04.000
that's actually why I want you to do it.

709
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.240
Because I think if it stretches you

710
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.480
to learn something new in the church,

711
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.000
in hopefully a safe environment,

712
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.720
you're gonna learn something new about yourself.

713
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:15.960
Because a lot of what Bethany and I and Jack

714
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.040
are asking you to do in this community is new stuff.

715
00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:20.920
We're asking you to try things differently

716
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:22.760
or see it from a different perspective.

717
00:29:22.760 --> 00:29:26.600
And if you could see your church through a different lens,

718
00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:29.200
you might start to see the men and women in your life

719
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.360
through a different lens,

720
00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:32.120
and you might show up differently.

721
00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:35.240
So that has really stretched me and grown me

722
00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.240
in the last couple of years.

723
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.960
So spiritually, that's one of the things

724
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.320
I've been trying to do.

725
00:29:40.520 --> 00:29:41.560
That was so good, Renee.

726
00:29:41.560 --> 00:29:42.760
I was sitting here thinking too,

727
00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:45.200
I wrote down on my paper, something similar.

728
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:48.360
I wrote down go into,

729
00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:49.960
no, don't take this the wrong way you all,

730
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.480
but go into spiritual environments

731
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.280
that are outside what you're used to.

732
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.520
Just from my perspective,

733
00:29:56.520 --> 00:29:59.120
I've been able to go into spiritual environments

734
00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:01.240
and I've been able to learn a lot through it.

735
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.760
of going into different denominations to understand them.

736
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.120
And I've learned a lot through it.

737
00:30:03.120 --> 00:30:04.880
And I've learned a lot through it.

738
00:30:03.760 --> 00:30:06.560
You know, there's things like Koinonia, Maus walks,

739
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.360
And I've learned a lot through it.

740
00:30:06.560 --> 00:30:08.480
where you're intermingling with people

741
00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:08.600
And I've learned a lot through it.

742
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.040
that are from different denominations

743
00:30:10.040 --> 00:30:11.980
and you're coming together as the body of Christ.

744
00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:15.280
But also in the sense that, you know,

745
00:30:15.280 --> 00:30:16.680
like kind of what Renee's saying,

746
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.960
like go into something and minister,

747
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.000
even in a nonprofit that's outside the church.

748
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.440
I remember years ago when I started going and volunteering

749
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.480
and just going to an inner city school and reading to kids.

750
00:30:29.520 --> 00:30:33.200
Like doing that still, I think about that all the time.

751
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.840
Like the impact that I was having on those kids,

752
00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:37.600
just by going and reading a book to them,

753
00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:39.560
a lot of them didn't have parents

754
00:30:39.560 --> 00:30:40.620
that would do that kind of stuff.

755
00:30:40.620 --> 00:30:42.800
So getting outside of your comfort zone,

756
00:30:42.800 --> 00:30:45.740
investing on other people, investing in the community,

757
00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:49.160
and letting God show up through that is pretty huge.

758
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.560
Yeah.

759
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:01.280
Hi.

760
00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:02.100
Okay.

761
00:31:02.100 --> 00:31:02.940
So I agree.

762
00:31:02.940 --> 00:31:06.120
Sorry, I was eating and listening and it was so good.

763
00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:09.240
But you guys noticed that we sort of have married now,

764
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.280
relationship with God and our purpose.

765
00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:13.680
So while we said, we're gonna talk about

766
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:15.920
these three distinct areas of momentum,

767
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.400
you see how two of them are already doing what?

768
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.420
They're merging, right?

769
00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:20.260
They're converging.

770
00:31:20.260 --> 00:31:21.320
Why is that?

771
00:31:21.320 --> 00:31:24.900
Because it's very difficult to remove your who from your do.

772
00:31:26.340 --> 00:31:28.000
Okay?

773
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.840
It's very difficult.

774
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:31.760
And I know that we had all this talk for a long time.

775
00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:34.800
It's like, oh, pay attention to your who and not your do.

776
00:31:34.800 --> 00:31:39.020
Well, the Bible says that faith without action or works,

777
00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:41.740
your do is dead religion.

778
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.240
So these two things are interlocked.

779
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.080
Why is that?

780
00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:48.140
Because the proof of belief is action.

781
00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:50.760
If you believe that you're a son or daughter of God,

782
00:31:50.760 --> 00:31:52.400
if you believe that Jesus died for you,

783
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.000
if you believe in the finished work of the cross,

784
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.240
if you believe in John 10, 10,

785
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.840
if you believe in any of those things,

786
00:31:57.840 --> 00:32:00.440
which is this vertical relationship, right?

787
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:02.160
This vertical identity,

788
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.140
then it's gonna look like something.

789
00:32:05.560 --> 00:32:06.720
It's gonna look like something.

790
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:09.160
It's gonna be looking like you becoming passionate

791
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.920
and impassioned with whatever is hurting

792
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.980
the people of this world, right?

793
00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:20.600
At the end of the day, all that's gonna matter is people.

794
00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:21.440
At the end of the day,

795
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.700
all that's gonna matter is eternal things.

796
00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.680
And that's people.

797
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.520
The only thing that's gonna last for eternity

798
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:29.760
is faith, hope, and love and people.

799
00:32:29.760 --> 00:32:31.000
Those are the things.

800
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.240
And so everything that we do with our lives

801
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:34.440
needs to lead back to that.

802
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.040
Now, a lot of us try to have this kind of relationship.

803
00:32:37.040 --> 00:32:37.960
We try to get it right.

804
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.320
We try to cross every T and dot every I

805
00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:42.000
and pray for a certain amount of time

806
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:43.760
or read the Bible or do the things.

807
00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:46.160
And we feel guilty and ashamed if we don't do that.

808
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.980
But what we don't realize is that there's actually

809
00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:53.800
a greater way to experience the relationship with God

810
00:32:53.800 --> 00:32:57.960
than just you sitting and trying to do a list of works,

811
00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.600
like spiritual works.

812
00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:03.220
And that is called serving people.

813
00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:05.400
Why do I say this?

814
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.680
Because when you serve people,

815
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.760
if we wanna really gain momentum in this area,

816
00:33:08.760 --> 00:33:10.520
when you serve people,

817
00:33:10.520 --> 00:33:13.080
it actually shows you what God looks like.

818
00:33:13.080 --> 00:33:15.780
Because you know, we can't see him, right?

819
00:33:15.780 --> 00:33:17.920
But we can see him through what?

820
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:19.440
Through people.

821
00:33:20.760 --> 00:33:21.600
And guess what?

822
00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:24.400
People get to see him through us.

823
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.720
There is nothing better in this life

824
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.740
than knowing that you made an eternal impact on someone.

825
00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:33.080
And it could have been the simplest thing that you did,

826
00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:35.680
but it made an eternal impact

827
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.280
because you showed them what God looks like.

828
00:33:37.280 --> 00:33:39.640
You showed them his kindness or his goodness.

829
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.520
You showed them his forgiveness.

830
00:33:41.520 --> 00:33:44.360
You showed them his provision.

831
00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:45.840
And it draws you closer to God

832
00:33:45.840 --> 00:33:48.560
because every time you get to show someone

833
00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:51.520
what God looks like or what Jesus looks like, essentially,

834
00:33:52.320 --> 00:33:54.480
because he was the physical vision of God, right?

835
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:56.400
If you've seen me, you've seen the father.

836
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:57.880
Every time you do that,

837
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.680
you get to see what he looks like more clearly as well.

838
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:03.440
Isn't that amazing?

839
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:05.480
And what does that do?

840
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.320
That fuels the relationship

841
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:10.239
of where you want to get to know him more.

842
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:11.760
You want to read the word.

843
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.760
You want to listen to,

844
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.100
and I agree with what Bethany said at the beginning

845
00:34:16.100 --> 00:34:17.560
about, hey, read the books, do that.

846
00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:19.239
But please be careful with that

847
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:21.880
because there's a lot of voices out there

848
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.880
that are saying something very authentic

849
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:27.719
and very biblically based.

850
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:28.679
It's from the Bible.

851
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.080
It's right, but it's not for you.

852
00:34:32.080 --> 00:34:34.860
And I know you're like, what, what?

853
00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:38.239
Yes, because we live in a digital age,

854
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:42.800
you at your fingertips have access to a bazillion sermons,

855
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.400
so many scriptures,

856
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.040
and so many podcasts that are talking about scriptures

857
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:54.880
and so much, you know, someone's commentary on scriptures.

858
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:57.520
And what's the problem with that?

859
00:34:57.520 --> 00:35:02.520
All of you have access to a bazillion sermons.

860
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.560
How many of us are on here right now?

861
00:35:01.560 --> 00:35:04.600
145 of us, all of you right now,

862
00:35:04.600 --> 00:35:06.680
at any given moment in your life,

863
00:35:06.680 --> 00:35:10.320
God is doing something in your life, okay?

864
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.720
You have a season that you're in.

865
00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:15.280
You have a path that you're on.

866
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.600
And the problem is, is that just like the dating apps,

867
00:35:17.600 --> 00:35:21.040
there's this illusion of all of these things.

868
00:35:21.040 --> 00:35:23.440
And a lot of them are diametrically opposed

869
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.360
to each other, right?

870
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.280
Yeah, they all come from the word of God,

871
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:29.960
but it's like, oh, you want a breakthrough?

872
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:31.000
Okay, sit up.

873
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:34.960
No, the other one says, lay down, sit down, stand up,

874
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.640
do a jig, dance a jig, get quiet, get loud,

875
00:35:37.640 --> 00:35:39.800
speak it out loud, meditate in your heart.

876
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.720
It's just schizophrenic, y'all.

877
00:35:43.040 --> 00:35:44.720
It is.

878
00:35:44.720 --> 00:35:47.360
And it's gonna have you all over the place.

879
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.040
Just because it's from God, doesn't mean it's for you.

880
00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:52.880
Write that down.

881
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:56.360
Just because it's from God, doesn't mean it's for you.

882
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:58.040
So one of the main things that you need to do

883
00:35:58.040 --> 00:36:01.480
in order to scale your relationship with God

884
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:03.840
or just your spirituality in general,

885
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:07.600
is you need to discern where you are.

886
00:36:07.600 --> 00:36:08.440
Where am I?

887
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.320
What am I working on?

888
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.880
What keeps coming up that I'm working on right now?

889
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:18.840
And then only focus on things that God brings to you

890
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:22.720
that will help you to continue in that vein.

891
00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:25.240
You guys, I stopped reading books for a decade.

892
00:36:25.240 --> 00:36:27.840
I know they're like, leaders are readers.

893
00:36:28.520 --> 00:36:29.720
Cool.

894
00:36:29.720 --> 00:36:33.240
But I was devouring so many books in my early discipleship

895
00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:34.720
that I was all over the place,

896
00:36:34.720 --> 00:36:36.120
like what I'm saying right now,

897
00:36:36.120 --> 00:36:40.880
and it was actually causing me to what?

898
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:42.680
Lose momentum.

899
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:46.520
I want you to think about a river.

900
00:36:46.520 --> 00:36:50.400
Close your eyes and picture the mightiest, craziest,

901
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:55.400
rough, white-capped, greatest river in the world

902
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.760
for whitewater rafting,

903
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.800
except it might be too dangerous.

904
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.040
Hippos are popping out of it everywhere

905
00:37:01.040 --> 00:37:02.360
and they're chasing your boat.

906
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:04.680
Like, I want you to picture this river.

907
00:37:04.680 --> 00:37:05.520
It's crazy.

908
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.280
All right?

909
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.840
And then I want you to picture that at like every,

910
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.760
like, let's say 30, 40 feet,

911
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.200
there's a tributary running off it.

912
00:37:15.200 --> 00:37:17.800
There's a smaller river running off of that river.

913
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:23.440
All these little tributary rivers running off that river.

914
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.480
Answer me this.

915
00:37:24.520 --> 00:37:26.440
How long do you think that river

916
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:30.360
is going to be a rushing, mighty river

917
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.760
with all of those leaks?

918
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:38.400
There's so many leaks, right?

919
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:45.480
How full do you think that your cistern,

920
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:48.520
your vase, your whatever, your vessel is

921
00:37:48.520 --> 00:37:51.480
if there's all of these holes in it?

922
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.440
We're all kinds of stuff leaking out.

923
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.040
And that is what happens

924
00:37:56.040 --> 00:38:00.320
when we are going a million different directions.

925
00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:03.440
We lose momentum.

926
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.800
That river loses momentum.

927
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.720
And so it's important for us to know where we are

928
00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:11.640
and what we're working on,

929
00:38:11.640 --> 00:38:15.160
and then to only look at stuff

930
00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:18.960
that is going to help us in that.

931
00:38:19.640 --> 00:38:21.200
And that includes people.

932
00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:22.440
You can have all kinds of friends.

933
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:23.480
It's great to have friends.

934
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:24.760
Friends are wonderful.

935
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.200
But if your friends are creating stagnation in you

936
00:38:30.560 --> 00:38:33.600
because they're not going the same direction as you

937
00:38:33.600 --> 00:38:34.640
in this season,

938
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.480
and every time you get together and you have coffee

939
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.560
and you talk about something that you're doing,

940
00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:43.120
and then they kind of pour water on that fire

941
00:38:43.120 --> 00:38:45.240
because that's not where they are,

942
00:38:45.240 --> 00:38:47.080
maybe they're in their silent season

943
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.480
of just waiting on the Lord.

944
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.600
But you're in this action-oriented season.

945
00:38:52.600 --> 00:38:53.440
What's going to happen

946
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:55.240
if you're hanging out with that person?

947
00:38:55.240 --> 00:38:57.040
You're going to start kind of second-guessing yourself,

948
00:38:57.040 --> 00:38:57.880
aren't you?

949
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:01.520
Like, oh, what they're doing seems so much holier

950
00:39:01.520 --> 00:39:02.600
than what I'm doing, you know?

951
00:39:02.600 --> 00:39:03.560
And then, you know,

952
00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:05.160
someone's going to quote scriptures at you.

953
00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:07.880
They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.

954
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:08.720
Great.

955
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:11.240
Do you get it?

956
00:39:15.080 --> 00:39:16.240
I'm not going to say who,

957
00:39:16.240 --> 00:39:17.800
I'm not going to say who,

958
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:22.800
but I had a friend who's actually famous now, okay?

959
00:39:23.160 --> 00:39:24.560
But before he was famous,

960
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.960
he wouldn't self-promote.

961
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.440
He had an amazing gift to give the world.

962
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:32.920
And I would say to him all the time,

963
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.960
hey, we need to get this out there.

964
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.800
We need to market it.

965
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:39.240
Because remember, I used to be a media consultant.

966
00:39:39.240 --> 00:39:40.200
We need to do this.

967
00:39:40.200 --> 00:39:41.040
We need to do that.

968
00:39:41.040 --> 00:39:43.680
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not going to do it.

969
00:39:44.520 --> 00:39:46.160
Not going to self-promote.

970
00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:47.800
Self-promotion's wrong.

971
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:50.040
Not going to get a social media channel.

972
00:39:50.040 --> 00:39:51.280
Not going to run ads.

973
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.320
Not going to do the things.

974
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.280
Okay?

975
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:55.960
Why?

976
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:57.880
Why is this amazing gift

977
00:39:59.240 --> 00:40:00.080
keeping all the

978
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.760
this gatekeeping all this amazing information

979
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.600
and not putting it out to the world

980
00:40:05.600 --> 00:40:10.600
because someone he admired, Bill Johnson, who I love.

981
00:40:12.040 --> 00:40:13.680
Bill's amazing, he's incredible.

982
00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:14.760
He's one of the most humble men

983
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:16.640
I've ever met in my entire life.

984
00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:21.240
But he was preaching against self-promotion.

985
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.640
And the thing is, is that he was talking about it

986
00:40:25.640 --> 00:40:28.480
in a specific vein for a specific situation.

987
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.160
But my friend took that personally,

988
00:40:31.160 --> 00:40:33.800
grabbed a hold of that little thing

989
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.120
and made it his new mantra in life.

990
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.460
You see how that can be a problem?

991
00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:43.640
So you gotta stay in your season.

992
00:40:43.640 --> 00:40:46.920
You gotta make sure that you're not just, you know,

993
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:49.400
going to the buffet of the internet

994
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.280
and just sampling all the little words out there.

995
00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:55.920
Because not only will it keep you full

996
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:58.560
and yet not satisfied,

997
00:40:58.560 --> 00:41:01.760
it will cause you to stagnate and lose momentum.

998
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:02.880
I promise you it will.

999
00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:07.120
Hey, can I just jump in real quick?

1000
00:41:07.120 --> 00:41:10.280
You guys, I'm just gonna say this and be really blunt.

1001
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:14.960
I know it's really easy to hear everything that we're saying

1002
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.960
and give me a reason why it's not gonna work

1003
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.680
or give Jackie a reason why it's not gonna work

1004
00:41:18.680 --> 00:41:21.120
or give Bethany a reason why it's not gonna work.

1005
00:41:21.120 --> 00:41:24.240
I'm gonna encourage us, especially in the chat tonight,

1006
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:26.760
but as we kind of go through the rest of this,

1007
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:28.240
at least through Easter,

1008
00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:32.360
I want us to hold space to not type

1009
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.960
or say out loud words that you know

1010
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:36.680
don't come from the Lord.

1011
00:41:36.680 --> 00:41:40.120
Let's not give the enemy a foothold into our heart

1012
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.600
that says, well, I've tried that, it's just not gonna work.

1013
00:41:43.600 --> 00:41:45.480
Or I don't have enough money to do this

1014
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.200
or I don't have enough money to do that.

1015
00:41:47.200 --> 00:41:49.720
We promise you life is not easy, we get that.

1016
00:41:49.720 --> 00:41:51.800
We get that it's hard,

1017
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:55.480
but all three of us know the dark night of the soul.

1018
00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.400
All three of us have been hurt and harmed

1019
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:01.160
and we have pressed in and pressed on.

1020
00:42:01.160 --> 00:42:03.400
So we're not giving any of this input

1021
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:05.640
because we've had some Pollyanna easy life.

1022
00:42:05.640 --> 00:42:08.360
Like we've all had trauma.

1023
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.280
And so I get it, life is hard,

1024
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.520
but I'm gonna ask you to press in anyway.

1025
00:42:13.520 --> 00:42:15.880
And one of the best ways that you can do that

1026
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.800
is watch what you give power to out of your mouth

1027
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:21.600
and out of your fingertips.

1028
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:23.240
And just say, yeah,

1029
00:42:23.240 --> 00:42:25.040
I think Bethany always says that a lot, yet.

1030
00:42:25.040 --> 00:42:26.200
You haven't done that yet.

1031
00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:28.640
You've not received that yet, yet, yet.

1032
00:42:28.640 --> 00:42:30.440
So I'm just gonna encourage you guys

1033
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:32.280
and hold each other accountable.

1034
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:34.320
Like hold each other accountable.

1035
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:36.560
So like, it's not just me, Bethany and Jackie

1036
00:42:36.560 --> 00:42:39.200
saying that if you see your sister or brother

1037
00:42:39.200 --> 00:42:41.440
starting to speak, never to just say that.

1038
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.360
I just rebuke that in the name of Jesus, boom.

1039
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.920
Because those lies are not coming from God.

1040
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:50.840
God does not want you to live anything but an abundant life.

1041
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.560
So I just needed to jump in there

1042
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:54.400
because it's so easy to think

1043
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:55.560
that we got it all figured out.

1044
00:42:55.560 --> 00:42:56.560
We don't.

1045
00:42:56.560 --> 00:42:58.400
And we are saying all of this.

1046
00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:59.840
We're trying to speak the truth in love

1047
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.920
because we want abundance for you.

1048
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:03.960
So I'll get off my soap box now.

1049
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:09.800
It's true.

1050
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:11.120
What she's saying is true.

1051
00:43:11.120 --> 00:43:14.560
So if you think that you have all the trauma trophies,

1052
00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:16.080
you're wrong.

1053
00:43:16.080 --> 00:43:18.920
So, and you can polish those trophies

1054
00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:20.200
in your little trophy case.

1055
00:43:20.200 --> 00:43:21.760
And that's what you can do with your life

1056
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:25.160
is say, hey, I have more trauma trophies than anybody else.

1057
00:43:25.160 --> 00:43:26.520
But guess what?

1058
00:43:26.520 --> 00:43:28.440
That will not get you anywhere.

1059
00:43:29.640 --> 00:43:34.440
That will not get you anywhere, nowhere at all, okay?

1060
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.480
Until you've been homeless,

1061
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:40.840
until you've eaten a week old bean burrito from Taco Bell

1062
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:42.080
that was under your car seat

1063
00:43:42.080 --> 00:43:43.920
because you were just that hungry,

1064
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.720
then you don't even get to roll with me, baby girl.

1065
00:43:47.720 --> 00:43:51.800
All right, so it's time for you to understand

1066
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:56.800
that no matter what has happened in your life,

1067
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:03.000
you can still live abundantly, okay?

1068
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.160
And so that means what?

1069
00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:07.560
That means that we can't live from past to present.

1070
00:44:07.560 --> 00:44:10.160
This is another momentum killer.

1071
00:44:10.160 --> 00:44:12.480
You keep looking at your past and where you've come from

1072
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:13.320
and what has happened.

1073
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:15.520
You keep disqualifying yourself

1074
00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:19.520
because of whatever you see back there, all right?

1075
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:21.720
And whatever you see back there

1076
00:44:21.720 --> 00:44:23.520
is still hanging on in the present, right?

1077
00:44:23.520 --> 00:44:26.800
It's still affecting you with these orphan mentalities

1078
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:29.040
and these poverty mentalities, I get it.

1079
00:44:29.040 --> 00:44:31.080
And that's why you have to come in here

1080
00:44:31.080 --> 00:44:33.200
and you have to really press into your heart work

1081
00:44:33.200 --> 00:44:35.880
and live future present.

1082
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:37.640
So you can't live past present,

1083
00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:39.000
you have to live future present.

1084
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.040
You have to allow God to give you a vision of yourself

1085
00:44:42.040 --> 00:44:44.200
in the future.

1086
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.240
And then instead of living from your past

1087
00:44:47.240 --> 00:44:48.280
to where you are now,

1088
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:51.840
you live from your future to where you are now.

1089
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.920
You show up there and then you walk backwards to here.

1090
00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:55.760
Does that make sense?

1091
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:56.840
Do you understand?

1092
00:44:58.120 --> 00:44:59.480
That's what you have to do.

1093
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.440
That's what I did, okay?

1094
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:05.480
When I couldn't leave my house and I had agoraphobia

1095
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.960
and I had panic disorder, I had obsessive compulsive disorder

1096
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:09.600
and I was mentally ill and my former husband

1097
00:45:09.600 --> 00:45:13.760
was trying to get me institutionalized, okay?

1098
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:18.080
Weighed 126 pounds at 5'10", wore a double zero

1099
00:45:18.080 --> 00:45:22.380
and was literally dying right in front of everyone's eyes.

1100
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.800
What happened next?

1101
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:27.520
God gave me a word.

1102
00:45:28.520 --> 00:45:29.880
He gave me a vision.

1103
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:32.120
He gave me a dream.

1104
00:45:32.120 --> 00:45:33.680
And I could have, like everyone else, said,

1105
00:45:33.680 --> 00:45:35.840
oh yeah, that's great, but I can't get there.

1106
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:36.840
I don't know how to get there.

1107
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.320
I don't know what to do.

1108
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:43.400
And it wasn't that I didn't have days like that,

1109
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.600
but the days that I just got up and went after it,

1110
00:45:46.600 --> 00:45:47.960
even though I didn't know what to do,

1111
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:49.960
outnumbered the days when I sat down

1112
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.880
and felt sorry for myself and played the victim.

1113
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:56.080
I got up way more than I fell down.

1114
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:57.520
And that's what the Bible says.

1115
00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:01.040
The Bible says, rejoice not over me, my enemy,

1116
00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:04.520
because when I fall down, I will get back up.

1117
00:46:06.080 --> 00:46:07.840
And God gave me the grace to keep getting up

1118
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.160
and keep getting up and keep getting up.

1119
00:46:09.160 --> 00:46:10.000
Why?

1120
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:14.120
Because I believed in that girl.

1121
00:46:14.120 --> 00:46:18.160
I believed that she was the real me and I was the real her,

1122
00:46:18.160 --> 00:46:20.960
not this other girl that had been abandoned by her family

1123
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:22.560
and lived in girls' home in foster care

1124
00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:26.120
that was sexually abused by a pedophile grandfather

1125
00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:29.520
that sat at my dinner table every single night

1126
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.560
because he bought off my parents with money.

1127
00:46:36.120 --> 00:46:37.600
That wasn't the real me.

1128
00:46:37.600 --> 00:46:39.760
That was what the enemy set up in my life

1129
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.960
to try to keep me from ever becoming who I truly was.

1130
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:44.800
And guess what?

1131
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:45.640
It didn't work.

1132
00:46:46.720 --> 00:46:48.240
It didn't work.

1133
00:46:48.240 --> 00:46:49.960
And it only didn't work, you guys,

1134
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:53.920
because once again, like Rizzo just said,

1135
00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:58.920
I refused to come into complete agreement with it.

1136
00:46:59.240 --> 00:47:00.640
We all have bad days.

1137
00:47:01.520 --> 00:47:02.840
We all have bad moments.

1138
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:03.800
You might have a bad week.

1139
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:05.160
You could even have a bad month,

1140
00:47:05.160 --> 00:47:07.520
but you can't let it continue.

1141
00:47:07.520 --> 00:47:09.840
That's a momentum stealer.

1142
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:11.760
I don't care how you feel.

1143
00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:14.600
Doesn't matter how you feel.

1144
00:47:14.600 --> 00:47:15.680
And that's the number one reason

1145
00:47:15.680 --> 00:47:17.680
why I'm sitting in front of you today

1146
00:47:17.680 --> 00:47:20.200
because no matter how I felt,

1147
00:47:21.160 --> 00:47:23.600
and I'm just gonna get real with you because you need it.

1148
00:47:23.600 --> 00:47:26.200
Guys, I couldn't even drink a glass of water

1149
00:47:26.200 --> 00:47:29.880
because I felt like someone poisoned it.

1150
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:32.600
That's how messed up my mind was.

1151
00:47:32.600 --> 00:47:35.160
I had a mental illness.

1152
00:47:35.160 --> 00:47:36.520
Are you listening to me?

1153
00:47:37.560 --> 00:47:42.160
I was paranoid and obsessed with danger.

1154
00:47:43.680 --> 00:47:46.960
If I left my drink at my own home,

1155
00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:48.680
I could not drink it.

1156
00:47:48.680 --> 00:47:51.640
Even though rationally you would say that's crazy, Jackie.

1157
00:47:51.640 --> 00:47:53.480
Yeah, that's the point of this story.

1158
00:47:55.640 --> 00:47:59.400
That's how far gone I was in so many ways, you guys.

1159
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:02.600
But there came a moment

1160
00:48:02.600 --> 00:48:07.600
when I could not trust my feelings anymore and I knew it.

1161
00:48:08.040 --> 00:48:10.280
And so regardless of how I felt,

1162
00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.160
I made a commitment to God.

1163
00:48:12.160 --> 00:48:15.880
Doesn't matter what I think is true or what I feel is true.

1164
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:19.120
I'm still gonna just do what you've showed me

1165
00:48:19.120 --> 00:48:20.880
that I know is true.

1166
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.680
And you guys, I had to live against my own feelings

1167
00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:25.880
and against my own thoughts.

1168
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:27.800
I had to work it like a job every day

1169
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:30.600
until it got easier and easier,

1170
00:48:30.600 --> 00:48:32.240
until the truth started winning out.

1171
00:48:32.240 --> 00:48:33.520
And that's why I write in that book,

1172
00:48:33.520 --> 00:48:35.960
you cannot erase, you have to replace.

1173
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:39.640
And so for all of you that are showing up in the chat

1174
00:48:39.640 --> 00:48:43.400
and giving us a list of reasons why it's not possible,

1175
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:45.120
you're right, all those reasons are true,

1176
00:48:45.120 --> 00:48:46.560
but there is a greater truth.

1177
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:49.960
And if you won't come into alignment with it,

1178
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:51.160
then you won't succeed.

1179
00:48:52.600 --> 00:48:54.840
But if you're willing to come into alignment with it,

1180
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:56.720
nothing can stop you.

1181
00:48:57.880 --> 00:48:59.280
Nothing can stop you.

1182
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.400
Not even your own feelings can stop you.

1183
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.360
Not even your own messed up thoughts can stop you

1184
00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:08.000
if you won't listen to them anymore

1185
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.040
and you will only listen to God.

1186
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:13.240
And if that means you have to look at yourself in the mirror

1187
00:49:13.240 --> 00:49:16.400
like I did many, many, many, many, many, many times

1188
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:18.840
and tell yourself to stop it.

1189
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:21.200
I have done that so many times.

1190
00:49:21.200 --> 00:49:22.960
I've looked at myself right in the eyes in the mirror

1191
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:24.800
and I've said, that's not true, Jackie.

1192
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:25.800
That's a lie.

1193
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:27.040
No one's poisoned you.

1194
00:49:27.040 --> 00:49:28.600
You're not gonna die right now.

1195
00:49:28.600 --> 00:49:30.080
You don't need to call the squad.

1196
00:49:30.080 --> 00:49:31.480
You don't need to call the ambulance.

1197
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:33.360
You don't need to go to the emergency room.

1198
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:36.120
What you believe right now is not true.

1199
00:49:36.120 --> 00:49:37.240
It's a lie.

1200
00:49:37.240 --> 00:49:38.080
Fear is a lie.

1201
00:49:38.080 --> 00:49:39.520
Anxiety is a lie.

1202
00:49:39.520 --> 00:49:40.960
And I had to get to the place y'all

1203
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.400
where I was just like, you know what?

1204
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.240
If I'm wrong, then I'm just gonna keel over and die.

1205
00:49:45.240 --> 00:49:46.400
But that's okay.

1206
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:51.200
Cause I'd rather live in God's truth

1207
00:49:51.200 --> 00:49:52.880
and continue to follow after him

1208
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.640
than live like this torment and this fear

1209
00:49:56.720 --> 00:49:58.280
and try to keep myself safe.

1210
00:49:58.280 --> 00:49:59.560
I just had to make a decision.

1211
00:49:59.560 --> 00:50:00.400
If I'm wrong.

1212
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.000
I guess I'm going to die.

1213
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:03.720
And you guys have worked.

1214
00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:06.000
It worked.

1215
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.840
And you're like, Jackie, that's, that's really out there, babe.

1216
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:12.240
You had some serious issues.

1217
00:50:12.240 --> 00:50:13.080
I'm not like you.

1218
00:50:13.520 --> 00:50:15.240
Yeah, you're not, but you're just a stuck.

1219
00:50:16.600 --> 00:50:19.760
You're just a stuck because you think that the number in your bank

1220
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:21.720
account is why you can't succeed.

1221
00:50:22.160 --> 00:50:23.760
And you don't know how to make it grow bigger.

1222
00:50:25.640 --> 00:50:28.760
You think the number of divorces you've had is why you can't succeed.

1223
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:33.000
And you don't know how to get past that, the weight on the scale, the number here,

1224
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:35.920
the number there, whatever it is, you're a bad childhood.

1225
00:50:39.040 --> 00:50:39.720
You believe it.

1226
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:44.480
And you believe it more than you believe what God has said about you or the visions

1227
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.040
that God has given you about yourself.

1228
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:47.800
You believe it more.

1229
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:50.680
And as long as you believe it more, you will never gain momentum.

1230
00:50:50.680 --> 00:50:54.400
You'll have a couple of good days where you're like, I'm going to do it.

1231
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:55.520
And then guess what?

1232
00:50:55.520 --> 00:50:59.120
You fall right back off because you don't really believe it.

1233
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:03.840
Because the Bible says out of the abundance of the heart, what happens?

1234
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:08.120
What happens?

1235
00:51:10.240 --> 00:51:12.360
The mouth speaks, the mouth speaks.

1236
00:51:14.600 --> 00:51:17.120
And in this case, the mouth types.

1237
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:21.840
Right.

1238
00:51:26.520 --> 00:51:27.040
Amen.

1239
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.800
Every single one of you can have momentum in your life that leads to abundance.

1240
00:51:37.160 --> 00:51:37.920
Every one of you.

1241
00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:41.960
Put up the area that you're sabotaging yourself.

1242
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:45.240
What area do you just not, you're not able to get any momentum at all.

1243
00:51:45.240 --> 00:51:46.040
What area is it?

1244
00:51:46.040 --> 00:51:46.440
Let's see it.

1245
00:52:25.520 --> 00:52:39.880
There's a lot of duplicates there, huh?

1246
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:51.040
There's a lot of duplicates there.

1247
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:53.680
What does that mean?

1248
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:57.440
That means not only is the devil a liar, he's a really bad liar.

1249
00:52:59.200 --> 00:53:00.760
He's telling us all the same lie.

1250
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:03.880
Don't you notice that?

1251
00:53:06.200 --> 00:53:07.040
And we're onto it.

1252
00:53:14.160 --> 00:53:14.520
All right.

1253
00:53:14.640 --> 00:53:20.800
So Rizzo, we're going to, uh, Bethany, why don't we take some of these and talk

1254
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:22.880
about what could be at the root of that?

1255
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:28.960
That we need to not just erase, but replace so we can gain some momentum.

1256
00:53:31.240 --> 00:53:35.000
I would love to take the weight loss one since I've been on a diet my whole

1257
00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:38.280
life and I just dropped almost 30 pounds.

1258
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:39.280
And so here's what I can say.

1259
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:44.200
You guys, you cannot starve your way into weight loss.

1260
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:47.880
You cannot hate your body enough into weight loss.

1261
00:53:48.200 --> 00:53:51.640
You cannot overexercise enough into weight loss.

1262
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:56.760
So you have to, first of all, get right with your, your body in its current

1263
00:53:56.760 --> 00:54:02.160
shape and get to know it, get to know the foods that your body receives well.

1264
00:54:02.160 --> 00:54:03.960
And the foods that your body does not receive.

1265
00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:06.800
Well, you need to pay attention to your nutrition.

1266
00:54:07.080 --> 00:54:12.560
You can't work out enough hours, like 90% of your health starts in the kitchen.

1267
00:54:13.080 --> 00:54:13.920
It just does.

1268
00:54:14.200 --> 00:54:18.520
So if you're saying that you're not, you know, having trouble with weight loss,

1269
00:54:18.720 --> 00:54:20.440
you have to decide what am I buying?

1270
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:22.000
First of all, what are you buying?

1271
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:24.040
What food are you buying?

1272
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:28.120
Whether it's out to eat or, you know, where you shop, like you should be

1273
00:54:28.120 --> 00:54:30.320
shopping the perimeter of the store.

1274
00:54:30.560 --> 00:54:33.840
90% of what you eat should be whole single source foods.

1275
00:54:34.640 --> 00:54:38.320
And I understand not everyone can do gluten-free, not everyone can do organic,

1276
00:54:38.560 --> 00:54:41.480
but you can at least start with single source foods.

1277
00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:47.840
Um, you know, apples, oranges, meat, vegetables, like things that are grown

1278
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:49.480
single source that are not in a box.

1279
00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:54.040
And so you have control over what you eat, right?

1280
00:54:54.080 --> 00:54:55.400
You guys buy your own grocery.

1281
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:59.680
So you have control and you go to Aldi's, find a way to buy in bulk.

1282
00:54:59.720 --> 00:55:00.000
So.

1283
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:12.720
That it can be cost effective. That's the first thing. And you guys have to budget moving on my calendar. I'm just going to share my screen for just a second. So you can see what my calendar looks like.

1284
00:55:14.520 --> 00:55:21.480
Can y'all see my calendar. It is color coded. Now y'all may not want to be as crazy as me, but my workouts.

1285
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:46.680
My grocery shopping, my work, my schoolwork, all of it's here. So I can say I want to lose weight. But if I don't budget time in my calendar to shop, to meal prep, to work out, then I don't take it seriously. None of us are going to be able to take a pill and suddenly lose weight. You're not going to suddenly get a job.

1286
00:55:46.680 --> 00:55:59.400
So if you are not budgeting in your calendar to do something, whether it's exercise, whether it's go get healthy, whether it's go get another job, work a second job.

1287
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:06.080
Some of you guys have talked about finances. You know, for years out of college, I had a second job.

1288
00:56:06.640 --> 00:56:26.160
You know, I worked nights in the bra room at Victoria's Secret. Like you can now do Uber delivery if you don't want to do Uber because you don't like people in your car. So if it's not going in your calendar, if you're not budgeting time to do it, especially weight loss, it is never going to happen. You can't pray away the weight loss.

1289
00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:54.720
But it should start with maybe going to your doctor or nutritionist and taking a blood DNA just to find out. But you guys can do some kind of different elimination diet. So I just wanted to take that one. And you guys, I now have a love of all food. There's no such thing as a bad food. I used to think there were good food, bad food. Now, if I want the cookie, it just fits into my macros. Like I eat a certain number of calories, fiber and protein a day. Everything else I get to fit in.

1290
00:56:54.720 --> 00:57:08.600
So if I want a cookie or a piece of cake, it's going in my macros and I'm going to work around it. So we have to stop thinking of food like it's evil or it's bad or it's a sin. It's like now some foods metabolize differently for all of you and others.

1291
00:57:08.600 --> 00:57:19.200
So I'm not saying that some of you may have allergies and you have to be careful of that. But I've moved away from that. I've also moved away from worrying about what a piece of metal says I should look like or how I should feel.

1292
00:57:19.200 --> 00:57:33.320
I'm taking photographs, inches. And so I'm looking at my body and my body is fitting into clothes that I couldn't that I was barely fitting into three years ago when I was 15 pounds lighter because I'm changing my body composition.

1293
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:42.840
So I no longer let that piece of metal determine my value, how well I'm sleeping, how well I'm breathing, how well I'm moving, how good I feel, the energy I have.

1294
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:52.680
That's what determines if my fitness and my nutrition are in order. So I'll get off the soapbox, Bethany. I know you've had to tackle this too, or you might want to take one of those other topics.

1295
00:57:52.680 --> 00:58:03.840
Yeah, I actually, I mean, they're all really good, but there were two that really stood out to me. So I feel like God's highlighting them. I saw, I just can't do it, whatever it is.

1296
00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:15.920
And, um, what I heard the Holy spirit say actually was, um, I think this is rooted from when you were in childhood, I saw almost like you were asking someone, someone for help with something.

1297
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:25.400
Um, you were struggling to do something and you didn't get the help that you felt like you needed. And so you agreed with a lie back then when you were a child that you couldn't do it.

1298
00:58:25.520 --> 00:58:41.440
And so now you're still struggling with that same lie. I just can't do it. Anytime something feels beyond where you're at. And I say this with a lot of love, but we got to go into the heartwork for these things, because there's a reason why the enemy keeps limiting us and holding us back.

1299
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:51.520
It's actually because we have a lot of potential. And so he came in and lied against your identity and your potential of what you can accomplish. Um, and this is for anybody, even if you didn't write that.

1300
00:58:51.520 --> 00:59:02.800
I mean, the reality is, is we can do way more than we know we can. There's a quote I used to keep up, you know, a lot of times we're actually intimidated by who we can become.

1301
00:59:03.160 --> 00:59:14.360
And so some of us stay stagnant because that feels more comfortable, but inside we have this inner angst. And so what I would say for anyone that feels like you can't do it.

1302
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:28.440
Sometimes this also happens when the it feels way too big. I remember the first time someone gave me a word about my calling and what God was going to do in me and through me. I mean, it was so awesome, but it was so overwhelming.

1303
00:59:29.120 --> 00:59:42.160
And so over the years, that's something I prayed into a lot. And God just started talking to me about just do what I show you next. Like, don't worry about like, that's awesome. I have a goal. I have goals I move towards. I set those goals.

1304
00:59:42.280 --> 00:59:53.760
But overall, every day, my goal is to take one more step towards whatever it is that God is asking me to do that day. And y'all that's created momentum and really putting ourselves out there.

1305
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:59.880
So how do we shift? Cause that's the other thing we got. We're talking about these, these topics, but how do you.

1306
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:08.000
shift out of that. So I would start saying over myself, I am able to do whatever it is.

1307
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:12.920
So for me recently, interestingly enough, the weight loss was a thing and God started

1308
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:16.600
talking to me. I needed to start saying, God, thank you that I'm going to, I'm going to

1309
01:00:16.600 --> 01:00:19.800
lose weight. Thank you, God, that you're going to help my body to release this weight and

1310
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:25.120
let it go. So things like, you know, book that I'm working on and the enemy's always

1311
01:00:25.120 --> 01:00:28.860
trying to tell me like all the reasons why I should enter a clinic because everybody

1312
01:00:28.860 --> 01:00:33.300
else has written the book. Well, that's not truth. So I have a word, I have a message

1313
01:00:33.300 --> 01:00:38.700
and God wants me to release it. And so I have to lean into that. I have something inside

1314
01:00:38.700 --> 01:00:43.500
of me that God wants me to release into the world to help set even one person free and

1315
01:00:43.500 --> 01:00:49.620
that matters. And so it goes back to, to when, um, interestingly when Jackie said, I don't

1316
01:00:49.620 --> 01:00:54.380
know where it's at, but like you are good soil, man, I felt power on that. Like so many

1317
01:00:54.380 --> 01:00:59.340
people don't even, we don't think we're good soil. So if you don't think you're good soil,

1318
01:00:59.340 --> 01:01:04.420
man, I would start there. I would start there because all these other lists are really important.

1319
01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:08.340
But if you don't think you're good soil, you're not going to think you're worth a guy or a

1320
01:01:08.340 --> 01:01:13.420
woman investing in you for a relationship. So maybe the relationship that's not, you

1321
01:01:13.420 --> 01:01:16.300
know, that you're wanting and it's not coming and it's not coming. Well, maybe it's because

1322
01:01:16.300 --> 01:01:22.040
you actually don't think you're worth them pursuing you or that you're worth them having

1323
01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:27.040
you as a husband or a wife. So go to the identity, go to the worth and things like

1324
01:01:27.040 --> 01:01:32.280
that. The other one, um, was the decluttering. And interestingly enough, this is something

1325
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:36.320
I feel like the Lord is talking to me about tackling. So I thought it was funny that he

1326
01:01:36.320 --> 01:01:43.720
highlighted that maybe that's why, but what came to my spirit was, um, you know, we just

1327
01:01:43.720 --> 01:01:48.760
had a woman in phase two, that's been getting massive breakthrough y'all. She started cleaning

1328
01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:54.520
out this garage that was an overwhelming task for her. And she decided to start taking

1329
01:01:54.520 --> 01:01:59.660
bites, which is what I kind of said, you start somewhere. And as she started cleaning out

1330
01:01:59.660 --> 01:02:06.360
this garage, y'all, she started getting like breakthrough emotionally, mentally, spiritually,

1331
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:11.660
like so much healing has been happening because she's cleaning out her garage. So sometimes

1332
01:02:11.660 --> 01:02:17.800
I think we resist cleaning out because there's things that are connected. There's emotions,

1333
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:24.120
there's memories, there's pain. And sometimes also, um, just from my experience, when you

1334
01:02:24.120 --> 01:02:31.560
have a lot of loss growing up, maybe you get attached to things. Okay. So what does the

1335
01:02:31.560 --> 01:02:37.400
Lord want you to let go of first? Just start with one thing. And then the next day, get

1336
01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:41.960
rid of maybe something else and start to gain some momentum in that way.

1337
01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:45.280
And I think there's also something else to that. You guys, sorry, I can't be on camera

1338
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:51.240
right now. But, um, with that, um, that if there's anything, okay. And I want you to

1339
01:02:51.240 --> 01:02:54.760
do an inventory right now, shut your eyes while I say these words and see if anything

1340
01:02:54.760 --> 01:03:00.740
comes up, everyone shut your eyes. If there's anything that you keep feeling like you need

1341
01:03:00.740 --> 01:03:04.400
to do, whether it's clean out a garage or a closet, or whether it's something else,

1342
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:08.640
like go, you know, change your, change your passport back to your maiden name. It doesn't

1343
01:03:08.640 --> 01:03:12.800
matter what it is. It's something that you keep feeling like you need to do. It always

1344
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:19.520
comes back up and you keep putting it off. There's breakthrough attached to that activity.

1345
01:03:19.520 --> 01:03:26.560
The enemy that if there's an area, specific area of procrastination in your life that

1346
01:03:26.560 --> 01:03:34.000
you just cannot, it comes up frequently, but you just can't go there and actually do it.

1347
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:38.080
Then there is definitely something attached to that. That's going to cause breakthrough.

1348
01:03:38.080 --> 01:03:40.640
And I would love to see what those things are. If you guys could just put those in the

1349
01:04:10.640 --> 01:04:15.360
chat. I'm driving, so I can't read. So if someone could read them to me, that'd be great.

1350
01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:21.160
Yeah, that's what I was just wondering. So we've got a lot in here. So one is learning,

1351
01:04:21.160 --> 01:04:27.680
relearning Spanish, someone taking CPA exam, cleaning out closet, changing their last name,

1352
01:04:27.680 --> 01:04:33.600
getting a hair trim, clean out their office, do a business plan, complete video work for

1353
01:04:33.600 --> 01:04:38.880
a friend, get back into shape, pack their house for remodel, finished book, daily walks,

1354
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:44.080
need to schedule a deliverance session, meet with the financial planner,

1355
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:49.040
a lot of cleaning out, cleaning out closets, rooms, all that kind of stuff.

1356
01:04:50.640 --> 01:04:56.160
So this goes to, okay, so some of those are not like one bite, right? Cause like losing weight

1357
01:04:56.160 --> 01:05:00.080
or whatever. But you can do two.

1358
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.360
day well, meaning that for those of you that it's a one and done, like go to the DMV and

1359
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:05.360
change your name.

1360
01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:06.360
Do it.

1361
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:07.360
There's breakthrough attached to it.

1362
01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:08.760
Meet with a financial planner.

1363
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:09.760
Do it.

1364
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:10.760
There's breakthrough attached to it.

1365
01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:14.280
For people that had more of like a, you know, it's more of like a series of things that

1366
01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.000
you need to do in that area.

1367
01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:18.000
Take the first step.

1368
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:19.000
Do today well.

1369
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:23.320
You know, part of the reason why we get overwhelmed and I used to really be like this is because

1370
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:26.920
I'm a big picture thinker and some of you are like that too.

1371
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:28.500
You're a visionary thinker.

1372
01:05:28.500 --> 01:05:31.300
You don't think in small details, okay?

1373
01:05:31.300 --> 01:05:34.060
You're not someone who can look at the minutiae.

1374
01:05:34.060 --> 01:05:38.100
You're someone who sees the forest, not necessarily the trees.

1375
01:05:38.100 --> 01:05:39.100
Okay?

1376
01:05:39.100 --> 01:05:46.880
And when you have that gift and it gets overextended by trauma, what happens is that you get overwhelmed.

1377
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:47.880
You get massively overwhelmed.

1378
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:50.900
Now, those of you that see the details, you see the trees and not the forest, you guys

1379
01:05:50.900 --> 01:05:53.920
get overwhelmed too, right, in a different way.

1380
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:58.080
And so the problem with that is, is that when you're a big picture, when you're a futuristic

1381
01:05:58.660 --> 01:06:05.360
thinker, you get a tendency to get caught in daydreams, okay, instead of caught in right

1382
01:06:05.360 --> 01:06:08.000
now what you can do today.

1383
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:11.120
And then you don't do it because you see all the pieces that you would need to actually

1384
01:06:11.120 --> 01:06:15.160
be successful and because you don't have those pieces yet, you don't do what you could do

1385
01:06:15.160 --> 01:06:17.680
today, right?

1386
01:06:17.680 --> 01:06:19.080
This is for everyone.

1387
01:06:19.080 --> 01:06:23.560
So God started talking to me and he'd say, Jackie, just do today well.

1388
01:06:23.560 --> 01:06:25.240
I'm like, what does that mean?

1389
01:06:25.240 --> 01:06:29.720
He means, he says, what can you do today towards this thing, right?

1390
01:06:29.720 --> 01:06:31.240
I want it to be in television, right?

1391
01:06:31.240 --> 01:06:32.240
You guys all know that.

1392
01:06:32.240 --> 01:06:33.240
God gave me this dream.

1393
01:06:33.240 --> 01:06:34.240
He gave me this vision.

1394
01:06:34.240 --> 01:06:38.480
He gave me this word that I was going to do this TV work and I had no education in that,

1395
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:42.980
no qualifications, no experience, none of it, okay?

1396
01:06:42.980 --> 01:06:44.480
And so I started getting overwhelmed.

1397
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:46.040
Do I need to go to broadcasting school?

1398
01:06:46.040 --> 01:06:49.760
Do you go back to college and go to, do I need to go to, you know, do I need to move

1399
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:54.960
to New York and go to NYU and like, what do I need to do?

1400
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:59.880
And God's like, you need to do today well, instead of worrying about what you don't have

1401
01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:04.280
in order to accomplish whatever it is that you just listed, what do you have?

1402
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:05.680
It's like the woman with the cruise of oil.

1403
01:07:05.680 --> 01:07:07.120
She's like, I don't have anything.

1404
01:07:07.120 --> 01:07:09.680
The prophet's like, that's not true.

1405
01:07:09.680 --> 01:07:11.800
You got this oil right here.

1406
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:13.040
Okay.

1407
01:07:13.040 --> 01:07:16.560
What can you do today?

1408
01:07:16.560 --> 01:07:18.120
What cow can you do today?

1409
01:07:18.120 --> 01:07:20.060
Well, maybe it's what Rizzo said.

1410
01:07:20.060 --> 01:07:21.800
You can only eat real food.

1411
01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:26.800
You can stop eating fake food that comes in boxes that is not food at all.

1412
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:30.800
Today, you're like, oh, I got a craving.

1413
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:33.280
I, you know, I, it's so hard for me to do.

1414
01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:34.480
Don't worry about tomorrow.

1415
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:38.800
Just do it today.

1416
01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:39.560
Just today.

1417
01:07:39.560 --> 01:07:40.160
And then guess what?

1418
01:07:40.160 --> 01:07:41.040
Tomorrow will be today.

1419
01:07:41.040 --> 01:07:43.640
You're going to do another day well and another day well.

1420
01:07:43.640 --> 01:07:44.760
Can I just be honest with you?

1421
01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:47.880
This is how I quit smoking.

1422
01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:50.160
I used to smoke when I was a teenager.

1423
01:07:50.160 --> 01:07:51.520
I know, shocking.

1424
01:07:51.520 --> 01:07:53.640
But once again, didn't know Jesus.

1425
01:07:53.640 --> 01:07:56.720
And I smoked other things besides just cigarettes.

1426
01:07:56.720 --> 01:07:58.840
But that's a whole different story.

1427
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:02.120
But the thing is, is that when it came time to quit smoking, I didn't know Jesus.

1428
01:08:02.120 --> 01:08:05.760
You guys, I actually quit smoking before I became a believer.

1429
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:07.320
I only smoked for a couple years.

1430
01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:10.000
But I was hopelessly addicted to it because of trauma, right?

1431
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:11.320
And stimulants are proven.

1432
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:12.000
People have trauma.

1433
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:14.320
They want to be stimulized or they want to be depressed.

1434
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:16.960
Like they want the alcohol or they want the stimulant.

1435
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:22.800
And so what I did was is every day I didn't focus on whether I was going to smoke tomorrow.

1436
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:27.120
I only focused on getting through today, doing it today.

1437
01:08:27.120 --> 01:08:30.520
Does that make sense to everybody?

1438
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:32.840
And for some of you, I feel this really strongly in my spirit.

1439
01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:34.160
You can't even do today well.

1440
01:08:34.160 --> 01:08:37.560
You just need to do this hour well.

1441
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:42.240
You just need to do this minute well, okay?

1442
01:08:42.240 --> 01:08:43.680
And what does that well word mean?

1443
01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:46.359
It means do your best and then rest.

1444
01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:50.760
Like Rizzo said, she said, no, it was Bethany that said, she's like, God, I need you to

1445
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:55.240
help me lose weight.

1446
01:08:55.240 --> 01:08:59.040
Here's the other key to momentum that none of us have said yet, but all of us were probably

1447
01:08:59.040 --> 01:09:00.040
thinking.

1448
01:09:00.040 --> 01:09:09.120
He said that his strength is made perfect in our weakness.

1449
01:09:09.120 --> 01:09:11.200
His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

1450
01:09:11.200 --> 01:09:15.560
And I'm going to tell you, when you start to gain some momentum, like just take me quitting

1451
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:16.560
smoking.

1452
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:18.840
Let's just take that as an example.

1453
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:25.439
There came a point, you guys, in the success of that, that yeah, I could have smoked.

1454
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:29.040
And so some of you, you're going to reward yourself with some weight loss with a Twinkie,

1455
01:09:29.040 --> 01:09:30.040
right?

1456
01:09:30.040 --> 01:09:33.319
You could eat that Twinkie and maybe someday you will eat the Twinkie.

1457
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:36.600
But when it came to smoking, and I don't know why I'm saying this, I feel like someone here

1458
01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:37.600
is addicted to smoking.

1459
01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:39.279
And so you need to hear this.

1460
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:46.040
We are not going to ask you to tell us, but I will tell you that, you know, I know Christian

1461
01:09:46.040 --> 01:09:50.479
people are like smoking, oh my God, you know, maybe it's drinking, maybe it's some other

1462
01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:51.479
kind of addiction.

1463
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:52.479
Maybe it's smoking weed.

1464
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:53.800
Who knows what it is?

1465
01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:55.120
But I will tell you this.

1466
01:09:55.120 --> 01:09:57.120
There comes a point in your deliverance.

1467
01:09:57.120 --> 01:09:59.640
There comes a point in your success.

1468
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:01.900
from being up under whatever that is,

1469
01:10:01.900 --> 01:10:04.600
negative thinking, smoking, whatever it is,

1470
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:07.120
that you've just gone so far

1471
01:10:07.120 --> 01:10:08.340
because you've done today well

1472
01:10:08.340 --> 01:10:10.800
over and over and over again,

1473
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:13.080
that just the thought of doing it again,

1474
01:10:13.080 --> 01:10:14.960
then you realize you got to start back at the beginning,

1475
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.200
you just don't want to do it.

1476
01:10:17.200 --> 01:10:18.960
Then you got to go through all the withdrawal again,

1477
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:20.440
you got to, and you just, it's not,

1478
01:10:20.440 --> 01:10:21.800
it's not worth it to you.

1479
01:10:21.800 --> 01:10:22.620
What is that called?

1480
01:10:22.620 --> 01:10:23.660
That's called momentum.

1481
01:10:25.460 --> 01:10:27.000
When you start gaining momentum

1482
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:28.640
and you start picking up speed,

1483
01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:31.860
you're just not willing to lose that momentum

1484
01:10:31.860 --> 01:10:36.720
for one moment of some fleeting self-medication

1485
01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:38.480
in whatever area it is.

1486
01:10:40.040 --> 01:10:40.920
Do you feel me?

1487
01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:45.880
You're not willing.

1488
01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:50.880
When you, listen, ladies, gentlemen,

1489
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.940
when you finally get free from having sex

1490
01:10:53.940 --> 01:10:55.980
with people that you're not married to,

1491
01:10:55.980 --> 01:10:57.280
and you've gained some momentum

1492
01:10:57.280 --> 01:10:58.680
because you're doing every date well,

1493
01:10:58.680 --> 01:10:59.720
you're not just doing today well,

1494
01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:01.200
you're doing every date well,

1495
01:11:01.200 --> 01:11:04.680
you don't end up slipping and falling into someone's bed

1496
01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:08.560
with their private parts inside of yours.

1497
01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:10.000
Woo-hoo, you did it!

1498
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:11.160
All right!

1499
01:11:11.160 --> 01:11:12.800
But here's the good news to that.

1500
01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:17.440
The good news is that once you get a streak like that going,

1501
01:11:17.440 --> 01:11:20.640
the moment that the few fleeting moments

1502
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:23.400
of connection that you were feeling

1503
01:11:23.400 --> 01:11:26.960
and that anxiety medicator

1504
01:11:27.640 --> 01:11:29.360
that that sexual experience was doing for you,

1505
01:11:29.360 --> 01:11:30.600
whatever it was,

1506
01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:35.200
you're not willing to give up how you feel now

1507
01:11:35.200 --> 01:11:36.040
for that again.

1508
01:11:36.040 --> 01:11:37.600
Does that make sense?

1509
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:38.440
You got what?

1510
01:11:38.440 --> 01:11:39.500
You got momentum!

1511
01:11:41.360 --> 01:11:42.400
All right, someone speak to this.

1512
01:11:42.400 --> 01:11:43.240
This is good.

1513
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:46.680
Yeah, it is really good.

1514
01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:51.040
And I mean, just from, I mean, I lived that out personally

1515
01:11:51.040 --> 01:11:55.460
when I started putting myself and my value before my flesh

1516
01:11:55.460 --> 01:11:59.060
and what my flesh was telling me it thought it wanted.

1517
01:11:59.060 --> 01:12:01.300
I absolutely started gaining momentum

1518
01:12:01.300 --> 01:12:04.220
and it wasn't just in my relational life.

1519
01:12:04.220 --> 01:12:06.940
Like I started gaining momentum in my career,

1520
01:12:06.940 --> 01:12:08.940
in my, like my finances,

1521
01:12:08.940 --> 01:12:11.180
like everything started gaining momentum

1522
01:12:11.180 --> 01:12:13.580
when I really leaned into my value

1523
01:12:14.940 --> 01:12:19.940
and chose holiness and chose to be set apart

1524
01:12:20.300 --> 01:12:23.620
and chose to fight for legacy.

1525
01:12:23.620 --> 01:12:25.900
Okay, so stop there, Bethany,

1526
01:12:25.900 --> 01:12:27.740
and let them process that.

1527
01:12:27.740 --> 01:12:29.260
Did you hear what she said?

1528
01:12:29.260 --> 01:12:30.460
Did you hear her?

1529
01:12:30.460 --> 01:12:34.920
She said, momentum gives birth to momentum.

1530
01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:35.940
Yeah.

1531
01:12:35.940 --> 01:12:39.820
You guys, that's how that woman cleaning out her garage,

1532
01:12:39.820 --> 01:12:42.420
which makes no sense whatsoever

1533
01:12:42.420 --> 01:12:44.280
of how that would be connected

1534
01:12:44.280 --> 01:12:45.820
to any other type of breakthrough

1535
01:12:45.820 --> 01:12:47.640
besides just a clean garage.

1536
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:51.520
That is how it caused momentum in other areas

1537
01:12:51.560 --> 01:12:54.800
because momentum creates momentum.

1538
01:12:54.800 --> 01:12:57.840
For some of you, really focusing on your health journey

1539
01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.360
will create momentum in your love life,

1540
01:13:00.360 --> 01:13:03.280
in your financial life, in your spiritual life.

1541
01:13:03.280 --> 01:13:04.440
My husband is one of those people,

1542
01:13:04.440 --> 01:13:07.060
I wish he was here and he could testify to you guys,

1543
01:13:07.060 --> 01:13:08.280
but when I married him,

1544
01:13:08.280 --> 01:13:11.560
he was already about 45, 50 pounds overweight.

1545
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:13.400
He was pretty fluffy and he said to me,

1546
01:13:13.400 --> 01:13:15.680
I'm gonna be in the best shape of my life at 40 years old.

1547
01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:17.060
He was 36 at the time.

1548
01:13:17.060 --> 01:13:17.900
Guess what?

1549
01:13:17.900 --> 01:13:21.320
He's 52, still resembling a shape

1550
01:13:22.160 --> 01:13:23.000
that's not the best shape.

1551
01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:24.720
It's a round shape, but it's not the best shape.

1552
01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:26.740
It is a shape to be fair.

1553
01:13:26.740 --> 01:13:29.240
It is, but it's not the shape he was going for.

1554
01:13:29.240 --> 01:13:30.160
And guess what?

1555
01:13:30.160 --> 01:13:32.400
He got a word and the word said,

1556
01:13:32.400 --> 01:13:35.080
if you will take control of this area of your life,

1557
01:13:35.080 --> 01:13:37.240
you will have breakthrough in all areas of your life.

1558
01:13:37.240 --> 01:13:38.580
And guess what had happened?

1559
01:13:38.580 --> 01:13:41.000
My husband started, he joined a CrossFit gym.

1560
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.800
You guys, I have never seen my husband work out

1561
01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:45.360
in my whole 17 years of marriage

1562
01:13:45.360 --> 01:13:48.840
beyond like maybe a few times.

1563
01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:50.200
He has been going consistently.

1564
01:13:50.200 --> 01:13:51.640
No one's forcing him.

1565
01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:53.060
I'm not nagging him into it.

1566
01:13:53.060 --> 01:13:53.900
He's doing it.

1567
01:13:53.900 --> 01:13:54.720
And guess what?

1568
01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:56.600
He is getting breakthrough in every area

1569
01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:58.000
of his life right now.

1570
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.360
And I wish he was here to talk to you about it.

1571
01:14:02.440 --> 01:14:04.940
So I wanna put this out there.

1572
01:14:04.940 --> 01:14:06.960
Laura just asked a great question.

1573
01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:09.380
She said, so which area do you start in?

1574
01:14:12.360 --> 01:14:14.160
What area is getting highlighted to you?

1575
01:14:14.160 --> 01:14:16.000
What area keeps coming up?

1576
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:17.640
Look, my husband needed breakthrough

1577
01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:19.480
and I'm not singling him out

1578
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:21.640
because we all need breakthrough, including me.

1579
01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:23.240
But he really needed breakthrough

1580
01:14:23.240 --> 01:14:25.400
in a lot of areas of his life.

1581
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:30.680
But this area, okay, because it was his main medicator.

1582
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:32.840
Food was his main medicator.

1583
01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:34.800
When he surrendered this area to God

1584
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:38.440
and he was willing to start doing the work

1585
01:14:38.440 --> 01:14:41.520
and let God give him the momentum,

1586
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:44.560
it caused a domino effect in all the other areas.

1587
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:46.520
So maybe take a look at the area

1588
01:14:46.520 --> 01:14:51.520
that you use as the self-medicator the most.

1589
01:14:52.680 --> 01:14:56.440
Maybe look at the area that God has highlighted

1590
01:14:56.440 --> 01:14:58.560
to you the most.

1591
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:09.200
And even, Bethany, that's being highlighted to them right now under the sound of our voices

1592
01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:11.100
teaching these subjects.

1593
01:15:11.100 --> 01:15:12.740
What is coming up?

1594
01:15:12.740 --> 01:15:15.040
What is being highlighted to you?

1595
01:15:15.040 --> 01:15:28.200
And I'm going to encourage you right now to don't pick the one that's bringing you the

1596
01:15:28.200 --> 01:15:30.060
most shame.

1597
01:15:30.060 --> 01:15:34.600
That may not be like in financial piece, David Ramsey always actually has you start, he does

1598
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:36.360
the snowball effect.

1599
01:15:36.360 --> 01:15:41.160
So you pay off your smallest credit card first, and then you build the momentum for the next

1600
01:15:41.160 --> 01:15:44.040
biggest credit card or the next biggest credit card.

1601
01:15:44.040 --> 01:15:51.320
So Renee, that is so good, because just today I posted on my Instagram, everybody needs

1602
01:15:51.320 --> 01:15:53.880
some wins.

1603
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:54.880
So speak to that.

1604
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:59.200
What you're saying right now is get a win under your belt.

1605
01:15:59.200 --> 01:16:01.320
Yeah, it's really about getting a win.

1606
01:16:01.320 --> 01:16:08.720
And so it's like, if losing 25 pounds or writing that book or paying off your debt is too big,

1607
01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:13.260
like start to list all of the things and start like, what is the one that you can get done

1608
01:16:13.260 --> 01:16:18.040
in the next 10 days, or the next three weeks, and do that one.

1609
01:16:18.040 --> 01:16:22.220
And then that one's going to give you the excitement and the momentum, as Bethany said,

1610
01:16:22.220 --> 01:16:24.500
to do the very next one.

1611
01:16:24.500 --> 01:16:28.740
And the very next one, it kind of gives you like excitement.

1612
01:16:28.740 --> 01:16:33.660
And even if it's lose weight or something, and your goal is 30 pounds, you might say,

1613
01:16:33.660 --> 01:16:37.700
I want to be able to walk 100 steps without sitting down.

1614
01:16:37.700 --> 01:16:40.020
I want to get to 1000 steps.

1615
01:16:40.020 --> 01:16:43.940
I want to be able to, you know, do a sit up.

1616
01:16:43.940 --> 01:16:50.140
I mean, like, do one push up, like give yourself these smaller wins.

1617
01:16:50.140 --> 01:16:54.820
And again, don't pick the one that you think the world has beat you down with, like the

1618
01:16:54.820 --> 01:16:57.220
one that's your nemesis.

1619
01:16:57.220 --> 01:17:02.740
You know, like, if you feel motivated, and the Holy Spirit is convicting you to go tackle

1620
01:17:02.740 --> 01:17:06.380
it, and it's done in love, yes, then God will do it.

1621
01:17:06.380 --> 01:17:12.420
Like my dad was able to quit smoking cold turkey at the age of 65, I think, and he'd

1622
01:17:12.420 --> 01:17:14.620
been smoking since he was 13 years old.

1623
01:17:14.620 --> 01:17:16.780
And we begged him for years.

1624
01:17:16.780 --> 01:17:21.940
And because there was so much pressure for him to do it, he just couldn't do it until

1625
01:17:21.940 --> 01:17:24.580
he was finally not feeling shame about it.

1626
01:17:24.580 --> 01:17:27.460
And the Holy Spirit was like, all right, now it's time.

1627
01:17:27.460 --> 01:17:29.820
And then he did it for the right reason for the right purpose.

1628
01:17:29.820 --> 01:17:31.940
And he was just able to cut it off.

1629
01:17:31.940 --> 01:17:35.780
You guys, after 50 years, I finally was able to stop biting my nails.

1630
01:17:35.780 --> 01:17:42.100
There was so much shame around nail biting that I couldn't even tackle that one first

1631
01:17:42.100 --> 01:17:46.180
because the enemy just had such a field day in my ear.

1632
01:17:46.580 --> 01:17:50.580
And you guys, this is why you have to just do today well.

1633
01:17:50.580 --> 01:17:54.020
And remember, if it's just this hour well, fine.

1634
01:17:54.020 --> 01:17:57.980
In whatever area it is that, you know, you really need that breakthrough.

1635
01:17:57.980 --> 01:17:59.100
You need to do that.

1636
01:17:59.100 --> 01:18:03.620
Because like Renee is saying, you know, you can't, you can't, you eat an elephant one

1637
01:18:03.620 --> 01:18:04.620
bite at a time.

1638
01:18:04.620 --> 01:18:05.620
You do.

1639
01:18:05.620 --> 01:18:06.620
All right.

1640
01:18:06.620 --> 01:18:09.740
Not that any of us are eating elephants, but it's a saying, and it's a saying for a reason.

1641
01:18:09.740 --> 01:18:11.500
You think about how big elephants are.

1642
01:18:11.500 --> 01:18:13.660
You couldn't eat it in one sitting.

1643
01:18:13.660 --> 01:18:15.900
You would have to eat it one bite at a time.

1644
01:18:15.900 --> 01:18:21.380
And for a lot of us, in fact, all of us, different areas of our lives, they're connected

1645
01:18:21.380 --> 01:18:23.740
like dominoes.

1646
01:18:23.740 --> 01:18:24.740
They're connected.

1647
01:18:24.740 --> 01:18:27.620
And so you might think, oh, you know, what difference is this little thing going to make?

1648
01:18:27.620 --> 01:18:28.620
Like what?

1649
01:18:28.620 --> 01:18:29.620
Like cleaning out your garage.

1650
01:18:29.620 --> 01:18:31.220
It makes a big difference.

1651
01:18:31.220 --> 01:18:33.700
It creates a momentum.

1652
01:18:33.700 --> 01:18:35.740
You guys know what momentum means, right?

1653
01:18:35.740 --> 01:18:38.580
It means gaining speed, right?

1654
01:18:38.580 --> 01:18:42.220
Until you get to a place where you're unstoppable.

1655
01:18:42.220 --> 01:18:47.140
It doesn't mean that you go zero to a hundred miles an hour in five seconds, right?

1656
01:18:47.140 --> 01:18:48.580
You're not a Lamborghini.

1657
01:18:48.580 --> 01:18:56.220
You are going to gain speed by increments, by successes, by wins.

1658
01:18:56.220 --> 01:19:02.500
For me, it was, my former husband told me that I couldn't take my daughter on vacation.

1659
01:19:02.500 --> 01:19:07.980
By the way, y'all, that was, I just celebrated the seventh anniversary of that.

1660
01:19:07.980 --> 01:19:10.460
Renee and Bethany, I forgot to tell you this.

1661
01:19:10.460 --> 01:19:14.340
When I was in San Francisco, you guys, speaking on that panel a couple of days ago, in my

1662
01:19:14.340 --> 01:19:19.020
Facebook memory, it popped up that I was in San Francisco on the very same day, seven

1663
01:19:19.020 --> 01:19:20.020
years ago.

1664
01:19:20.020 --> 01:19:21.020
You know what I was doing there?

1665
01:19:21.020 --> 01:19:25.700
I had my 16-year-old daughter and I took her to California for her 16th birthday because

1666
01:19:25.700 --> 01:19:27.860
that's what she wanted for her birthday.

1667
01:19:27.860 --> 01:19:32.980
You guys, I had never taken any of my family on a vacation in my entire life, all right?

1668
01:19:32.980 --> 01:19:37.780
I was, what, 42 years old, had never, ever gone on a vacation, had never been able to

1669
01:19:37.780 --> 01:19:42.340
afford a vacation where I'm the person taking someone on vacation.

1670
01:19:42.340 --> 01:19:47.580
And my former husband said, don't disappoint her by telling her you're going to take her.

1671
01:19:47.580 --> 01:19:51.500
We all know that you can't afford it and then, and you know, and that it's not true.

1672
01:19:51.500 --> 01:19:52.820
You're not going to be able to take her.

1673
01:19:52.820 --> 01:19:59.740
And you guys, that just made me mad enough that I went to the Lord and I was like, he's

1674
01:19:59.740 --> 01:20:00.020
right.

1675
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.680
and it's not okay with me anymore that he's right.

1676
01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.060
Someone needs to get mad tonight

1677
01:20:07.060 --> 01:20:08.920
and you need to go to the Lord and say,

1678
01:20:08.920 --> 01:20:11.560
this thing that I'm believing about myself,

1679
01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:15.240
it's been true up until today, the facts point to it.

1680
01:20:15.240 --> 01:20:16.920
But your truth is greater than that

1681
01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:19.480
and I'm no longer okay with the facts.

1682
01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:23.960
I'm no longer okay to stay here.

1683
01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:24.960
And you know what?

1684
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:26.720
God began to give me favor.

1685
01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:29.240
I got my little butt out and the only thing I had,

1686
01:20:29.240 --> 01:20:32.040
my little cruise of oil was my car.

1687
01:20:32.040 --> 01:20:36.040
And I signed up and I started delivering food and people

1688
01:20:36.040 --> 01:20:37.040
and guess what?

1689
01:20:37.040 --> 01:20:40.360
God allowed my fares to be people that tip me big.

1690
01:20:40.360 --> 01:20:43.560
In fact, I started driving this, this is a true story.

1691
01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:45.800
I started driving, not that all my stories are not true,

1692
01:20:45.800 --> 01:20:48.840
they are, but I know this is gonna be kind of fantastical.

1693
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:52.360
I picked up this guy from a bar driving Uber

1694
01:20:52.360 --> 01:20:54.960
that was three sheets to the wind, all right?

1695
01:20:54.960 --> 01:20:56.800
Drunk as a skunk, for those of you that don't know

1696
01:20:56.800 --> 01:20:59.160
what that three sheets to the wind means.

1697
01:21:00.080 --> 01:21:03.560
And he liked me so much, thought I was so funny.

1698
01:21:03.560 --> 01:21:05.560
He was a local business owner and guess what?

1699
01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:10.560
An alcoholic, a raging alcoholic that he asked me

1700
01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:13.080
if I would pick him up from these bars regularly

1701
01:21:13.080 --> 01:21:14.280
and take him home.

1702
01:21:14.280 --> 01:21:16.920
You guys, he would tip me a hundred bucks every time.

1703
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:22.040
I started picking up this drunk skunk from bars

1704
01:21:22.040 --> 01:21:22.920
and taking him home.

1705
01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:25.120
You guys were like, that sounds crazy, Jackie.

1706
01:21:25.120 --> 01:21:28.400
Yeah, so his name was Judd and he was super kind.

1707
01:21:28.440 --> 01:21:30.080
He was just not kind to himself.

1708
01:21:31.120 --> 01:21:33.040
And one night as I was taking him home

1709
01:21:33.040 --> 01:21:34.880
and this was right before I went on this vacation,

1710
01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:36.760
this was right before I had enough money

1711
01:21:36.760 --> 01:21:40.000
and every day I would come home with hundreds of dollars

1712
01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:41.560
towards this vacation and then I would buy

1713
01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:43.720
the plane tickets and then I would come home

1714
01:21:43.720 --> 01:21:45.000
and then I would rent the Airbnb

1715
01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:46.480
because I'd have enough money then.

1716
01:21:46.480 --> 01:21:48.080
And then I would do this and do that until what?

1717
01:21:48.080 --> 01:21:51.200
Until I had everything that I needed for that.

1718
01:21:51.200 --> 01:21:53.920
But one night as I was taking him home

1719
01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:56.920
and it was one of the last times that I ever saw him,

1720
01:21:56.920 --> 01:21:59.720
he was passed out drunk in the backseat of my car

1721
01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:02.120
and I started singing this song by the Helzers

1722
01:22:02.120 --> 01:22:04.360
called No Longer Slaves.

1723
01:22:04.360 --> 01:22:05.480
You guys know the song?

1724
01:22:06.360 --> 01:22:09.000
I was just driving my car with a passed out drunk man

1725
01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:13.440
in my backseat singing the song No Longer Slaves.

1726
01:22:14.400 --> 01:22:16.560
And I'm sure you guys know the song, right?

1727
01:22:17.480 --> 01:22:21.720
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.

1728
01:22:21.720 --> 01:22:22.840
And guess what?

1729
01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:25.360
He started rousing in his sleep

1730
01:22:25.360 --> 01:22:27.200
and he started singing it with me.

1731
01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:30.520
He started singing along like,

1732
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:33.280
I don't know what this is but I like this song.

1733
01:22:33.280 --> 01:22:35.640
Yeah, you have a beautiful voice, keep singing.

1734
01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:38.160
And we kept singing and we were singing together

1735
01:22:38.160 --> 01:22:42.040
and then he's really singing like it's an Irish pub song

1736
01:22:42.040 --> 01:22:44.760
and he's singing it and he's getting more and more sober.

1737
01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:46.960
And before he got out of my car that night,

1738
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:48.680
I talked to him about Jesus.

1739
01:22:50.280 --> 01:22:52.640
I talked to him about his liver.

1740
01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:55.840
I talked to him about his one and only life on this earth

1741
01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:57.400
and I was able to pray for him.

1742
01:23:01.240 --> 01:23:02.440
That's a true story.

1743
01:23:02.440 --> 01:23:04.560
And what happened in that story?

1744
01:23:04.560 --> 01:23:07.520
I got breakthrough and I wanna tell you guys something.

1745
01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:12.520
That was my first real win and I've never turned back since.

1746
01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:14.880
I've had win after win after win.

1747
01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:17.000
So Father God has prayed for all your sons and daughters

1748
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:18.680
right now that are on this call.

1749
01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:20.440
You have wins for each and every one of them

1750
01:23:20.440 --> 01:23:22.400
and maybe they don't look the way they expected them

1751
01:23:23.160 --> 01:23:25.240
to look, maybe it's something that they're not even thinking

1752
01:23:25.240 --> 01:23:27.120
about being powerful in their life

1753
01:23:27.120 --> 01:23:29.000
to change their lives forever.

1754
01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:31.520
But I know that one taste of victory

1755
01:23:31.520 --> 01:23:33.680
because you've created them to be victors.

1756
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:36.640
You've created them to be lenders and not borrowers.

1757
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:40.120
One moment, God, where they have victory,

1758
01:23:40.120 --> 01:23:43.520
they will be addicted to it in a righteous way

1759
01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:46.600
and they will know that that is their true identity.

1760
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:48.640
Victors is their true identity.

1761
01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:50.840
Overcomers is their true identity.

1762
01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:53.320
Father, we just thank you for it, God.

1763
01:23:53.320 --> 01:23:55.400
Right now, Lord, in each and every one of them, God,

1764
01:23:55.400 --> 01:23:57.480
we pray that you would stoke the fires,

1765
01:23:57.480 --> 01:24:00.160
stoke the fires of the overcoming spirit

1766
01:24:00.160 --> 01:24:01.920
that you've placed inside of them.

1767
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:03.840
Stoke the fires of their identity,

1768
01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:06.880
their royal identity as daughters and sons.

1769
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:09.160
You've created them to succeed, Lord.

1770
01:24:09.160 --> 01:24:11.080
And so Lord, we're asking that you would highlight

1771
01:24:11.080 --> 01:24:14.400
to them one thing, one thing that they can do,

1772
01:24:14.400 --> 01:24:17.520
that they could even do before we meet together again

1773
01:24:17.520 --> 01:24:20.680
on Saturday, where they can get that initial win

1774
01:24:21.520 --> 01:24:23.400
and then that win from heaven will be at their back,

1775
01:24:23.400 --> 01:24:26.600
pushing them forward into more and more and more

1776
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:28.840
and more breakthrough in Jesus' name.

1777
01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:30.440
Let it be so, amen.

1778
01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:37.680
Amen, so good.

1779
01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:41.840
So good, it's been a blessing to be with you all tonight.

1780
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:45.240
We hope to see you on Supernatural Saturday at 10 a.m.

1781
01:24:45.240 --> 01:24:47.760
on Eastern time this Saturday.

1782
01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:50.240
Have a great night, everyone.
