00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.680
Like I always say, if you are new and this is your first Supernatural Saturday, then

3
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.400
you are in for a treat.

4
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.440
What we do on Saturdays in our community is we look to heaven.

5
00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:13.640
We want to get into alignment.

6
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:20.600
What is the current prophetic reality over us, over our lives, over our group in general

7
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.200
as a corporate group?

8
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:23.520
What is God saying?

9
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:24.720
What is he doing?

10
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.680
We want that reality, not necessarily our reality.

11
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:29.120
So let's look to the Lord this morning.

12
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.400
Father God, we're so thankful that we get to come together from all over the world this

13
00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:34.400
morning.

14
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:38.400
All of us are in different geographic places, but there's no distance in the Spirit.

15
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:43.160
We are all one in you, and we thank you that you're going to speak to us, speak through

16
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:44.600
us today.

17
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.800
You're going to allow us to see what it is that you see and come into alignment with

18
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:50.520
what you want for us.

19
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:52.520
In Jesus' name, amen.

20
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.040
You guys, I'm so excited.

21
00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:57.200
There's been so many supernatural things that are happening.

22
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.200
I just want to let you know this is Supernatural Saturday, but I believe that we are in a manifested

23
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.120
supernatural season.

24
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.080
Who saw the aurora borealis last night?

25
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:12.240
Raise your hand if you went outside your house and you turned on your iPhone camera and you

26
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:19.220
saw what they call the northern lights, but you're not on a pole.

27
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:20.520
You're not on the North Pole.

28
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:21.800
You're not on the South Pole.

29
00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:26.160
You're not in a polar area of the world, but you saw them.

30
00:01:26.160 --> 00:01:31.680
I'm sure that all of you have seen someone posting about them on Facebook.

31
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.880
Everyone has seen other people's pictures, people that live in Tennessee posting the

32
00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:36.880
northern lights.

33
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:38.440
That's not very north.

34
00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:41.720
People as far south as Texas, here in Kerrville.

35
00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:43.440
I just passed Kerrville on my way to Mar-a-Fa.

36
00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:45.520
I'm out in West Texas right now.

37
00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:48.360
People posting pictures of the northern lights.

38
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:49.760
What's going on, y'all?

39
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:50.760
What's going on?

40
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.960
Well, didn't God say in His Word that in the end of the age there would be signs and wonders

41
00:01:55.960 --> 00:01:58.200
in the heavens?

42
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.200
Isn't that what He said?

43
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.200
Right?

44
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.280
We just had an eclipse the other day, and it was the type of eclipse that doesn't happen

45
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:05.280
all the time.

46
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.199
Yeah, there are eclipses that happen, you know, every few months, but this is the type

47
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.720
of eclipse that doesn't happen a lot.

48
00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:15.980
In fact, it's not going to happen again for another 20 years.

49
00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:18.440
And so we have a lot of things going on.

50
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:19.640
God is speaking to us.

51
00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:23.680
And this morning on Supernatural Saturday, I think that God wants us to understand that

52
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:29.000
He is always speaking to us.

53
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.760
Always speaking to us.

54
00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:32.480
Are we listening?

55
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:33.480
Are we listening?

56
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.480
Are we so busy?

57
00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:36.120
Are we so distracted?

58
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.120
Are we so overwhelmed?

59
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.920
Are we so worried that we just don't hear?

60
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:42.760
And I'm talking to myself, too.

61
00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:47.320
I hear from God a lot, as you guys know, but how much more could I be hearing from Him

62
00:02:47.320 --> 00:02:50.040
if I have set aside a time just to listen?

63
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:54.400
And so at the beginning of this call, I want to encourage you to do something, to do an

64
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.360
experiment where, yes, God is always talking.

65
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.360
He's talking in the everyday busy life that you lead, right?

66
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.840
He's showing you things.

67
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.640
You're seeing little patterns, you're seeing numbers, you're seeing all types of things

68
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:13.720
that God is using to woo you into some quiet time with Him.

69
00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:15.800
So let's just do a little experiment.

70
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.040
Just carve out, even if it's just one hour a week, where all you're going to do is just

71
00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:21.760
sit and listen.

72
00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:22.760
That's all you're going to do.

73
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:25.800
You're just going to get a little notepad, and you're not going to talk.

74
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:26.800
You're just going to listen.

75
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.600
You're just going to sit and listen.

76
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:31.400
You're going to say, God, here I am.

77
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.920
Talk to me.

78
00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.920
Here I am.

79
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.160
I'm set aside this time.

80
00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:38.800
Maybe you make yourself a little cup of coffee or a little cup of tea, and you have some

81
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.600
tea time with Jesus.

82
00:03:41.600 --> 00:03:43.200
You just sit and listen.

83
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:46.760
And I want you guys to come back next Sunday, because tomorrow's Mother's Day.

84
00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:49.280
We are going to have activation tomorrow.

85
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.920
It may be a little shorter than normal, and it's going to be about your moms, or those

86
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:54.120
of you that are moms.

87
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.400
And so come to that for sure if you can.

88
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.960
If not, we'll probably record it.

89
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:05.440
But next Sunday, I want you guys to come to activation, or even on Faith Friday, and report

90
00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:11.000
back about what happens with your little set-aside time with God.

91
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.080
What did He say to you?

92
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.280
What did He show you?

93
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.280
What happened?

94
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.120
And hopefully that will become a habit.

95
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:22.680
It'll become a calendar item, something that you regularly do every single week, where

96
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.320
yeah, of course you're praying, and of course you're talking to God throughout the week,

97
00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:28.160
and you're going to church, and you're doing all that.

98
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.280
But I'm talking about just a set-aside time to listen.

99
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:35.480
What are you saying to me, God?

100
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.360
What do you want to communicate to me?

101
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.520
Because oftentimes, prayer looks like us just telling God a whole laundry list of what we

102
00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:46.080
need, and what's bothering us, right?

103
00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:50.360
Or we're praying for somebody else's needs, and asking God to perform miracles.

104
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.080
It's usually an ask of some sort, our prayer time.

105
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:57.160
And yeah, we worship God, and a lot of us go to spiritual communities on Sunday where

106
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.080
there's an elongated time of worship.

107
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.640
is like, I know my church, the worship portion,

108
00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:05.700
the music portion of the service is over an hour long.

109
00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:09.640
Right, because I go to a Bethel church

110
00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:11.420
and that's what they like to do.

111
00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:12.980
They like to snot up the carpet

112
00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:14.660
and roll around in the gold dust

113
00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:17.880
and that's what they like to do around there, right?

114
00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:20.020
Okay, so we have that,

115
00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:22.160
but do we have what I'm talking about?

116
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.660
A time where we've just put it on our calendar,

117
00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:28.760
set it aside, intentional.

118
00:05:28.820 --> 00:05:32.400
Intentionality is so important to this.

119
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.000
It just listens.

120
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.140
Because God's doing stuff, you guys.

121
00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:40.140
Look, in the heavens, he's showing us.

122
00:05:40.140 --> 00:05:41.740
Something different is happening.

123
00:05:41.740 --> 00:05:44.100
Something that's never happened before is happening.

124
00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:47.180
Do you know that that auroras,

125
00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:50.940
they haven't been that strong since 1936 or 38?

126
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:53.820
You guys, things are happening.

127
00:05:53.820 --> 00:05:55.180
And we could just dismiss it and say,

128
00:05:55.180 --> 00:05:56.860
okay, yeah, whatever, that's science.

129
00:05:56.880 --> 00:05:59.560
No, it's not.

130
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:00.760
It's creation.

131
00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:07.000
It's God trying to get our attention, right?

132
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.360
Something that's happening

133
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.900
that hadn't been happening before.

134
00:06:10.900 --> 00:06:12.460
And why is that, right?

135
00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:15.340
Well, today's subject is on the word suddenly.

136
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.640
The word suddenly this morning, y'all.

137
00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:21.980
The word suddenly.

138
00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:23.320
Now, a lot of us know

139
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.720
that suddenlies aren't really that suddenly.

140
00:06:27.580 --> 00:06:29.480
There's stuff that happens that leads up to the suddenly.

141
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.420
There's preparation that takes place

142
00:06:31.420 --> 00:06:33.020
that leads up to the suddenly.

143
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:35.020
I will tell you that suddenlies

144
00:06:35.020 --> 00:06:37.120
that come without preparation

145
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.600
usually are not a good thing, right?

146
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:41.860
Why is that?

147
00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:43.600
Because we're not really ready for that.

148
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.740
It's like, it's a really great feeling.

149
00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:48.800
Like, let's just, I always like to like

150
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.040
things to pregnancies, y'all,

151
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.400
because I've been pregnant.

152
00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:52.400
I know what that's like.

153
00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:53.940
So if you haven't, forgive me.

154
00:06:53.940 --> 00:06:55.980
But this is a great analogy.

155
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.300
You find out that you're pregnant.

156
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:01.640
A lot of times you find out way before

157
00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:03.320
the baby's ever gonna get here, right?

158
00:07:03.320 --> 00:07:04.740
A lot of people nowadays,

159
00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:07.720
you can find out within like the first four or five weeks.

160
00:07:08.880 --> 00:07:11.880
Okay, they have those early detection knee sticks.

161
00:07:11.880 --> 00:07:14.560
And you can find out really quick.

162
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.260
But usually people find out somewhere

163
00:07:16.260 --> 00:07:19.600
between six and 12 weeks that they're pregnant, all right?

164
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.960
You still got a lot of weeks left, a lot.

165
00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:23.860
There's 40 weeks to a pregnancy.

166
00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:25.740
Got a lot of months ahead of you, right?

167
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.100
Before you're gonna actually have that promise

168
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:30.440
in your arms a long time.

169
00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:31.640
And so there's a lot of preparation

170
00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:33.140
that needs to take place.

171
00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:34.540
You know, there's a lot of different clothes

172
00:07:34.540 --> 00:07:35.880
that you need to buy for your own body

173
00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:38.400
as it stretches and makes room for that promise.

174
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:41.680
You gotta do some shopping for that promise

175
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.620
so that it has what it needs when it gets here.

176
00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:46.220
All kinds of clothes and food

177
00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.120
and you know, all different types of things

178
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.380
that you need to care for a child.

179
00:07:50.380 --> 00:07:52.860
And there's a really good feeling

180
00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:56.080
that you have when you know that you've done your part.

181
00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:59.180
I remember being very conscientious

182
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:01.260
about getting all that stuff done for my daughter, Regan,

183
00:08:01.260 --> 00:08:02.980
who's now 23 and getting married.

184
00:08:04.260 --> 00:08:06.100
I'm getting all that stuff done.

185
00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:08.760
And then just being able to just rest

186
00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:11.600
and know that if she came,

187
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.660
no matter when she came, I was ready.

188
00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:15.640
You guys feel what I'm saying?

189
00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:18.100
I had my little bag packed and it was waiting at the door.

190
00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:19.300
My little hospital bag,

191
00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:21.060
everything that I needed at the hospital.

192
00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:22.440
The nursery was set.

193
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:25.120
Everything that she needed for the first couple months

194
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.060
of her life was done and ready.

195
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:30.220
And I was able to just say, okay, God, I did my part.

196
00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:31.120
Now it's your part.

197
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:33.280
Why is that?

198
00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:35.500
Because Isaiah 66 tells us that he's the one

199
00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:37.600
that brings the children to the birth.

200
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.000
He's the one that actually gives us the strength

201
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.520
to birth these promises.

202
00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:44.159
He's the one that brings the promises to fruition.

203
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.280
And he's the one that gives us strength to push, all right,

204
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:50.280
to give birth to these promises.

205
00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:51.660
But the rest of it is us.

206
00:08:51.660 --> 00:08:53.180
He's the alpha and the omega.

207
00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:54.860
He's the beginning and the end, but we're the middle.

208
00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.420
We're for sure the middle, you guys.

209
00:08:56.420 --> 00:08:57.580
We're the middle.

210
00:08:57.580 --> 00:08:58.980
And so we have to do our part,

211
00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:01.960
but there's such a great satisfaction and peace

212
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.180
that comes over you when you know

213
00:09:04.180 --> 00:09:06.860
that if you had a suddenly in your life right now,

214
00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:09.860
you would be able to sustain it.

215
00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:11.500
So today is not just about suddenlies.

216
00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:13.820
It's about sustaining suddenlies.

217
00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:15.560
I wrote something on my Instagram this morning

218
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:17.760
as I was led by the Lord to write it.

219
00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:19.100
And it just says this.

220
00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:21.960
Hold on, let's get someone muted here.

221
00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:25.180
Mute yourself.

222
00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:27.540
All right.

223
00:09:34.540 --> 00:09:37.140
Okay, so the thing that I wrote on my Instagram

224
00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:40.700
this morning was God's going to use your love story,

225
00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:42.180
and you can put anything in there.

226
00:09:42.180 --> 00:09:44.220
God's gonna use your finances.

227
00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:45.620
He's gonna use your family.

228
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:47.700
He's gonna use your life story.

229
00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:49.460
It doesn't matter what you want to put there.

230
00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:53.100
God's going to use it to prove to everyone watching

231
00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:55.040
that anything is possible.

232
00:09:56.180 --> 00:09:57.160
Do you feel that?

233
00:09:58.980 --> 00:09:59.820
You are going to.

234
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.960
be the evidence that somebody else needs to finally prove to them that God is good.

235
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.120
I want you to say that over yourself.

236
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:15.300
My life is going to be the evidence that somebody needs, that they finally receive, to prove

237
00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:17.880
to them that God is good.

238
00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:24.480
Guys, I will tell you, as a new Christian, as a new believer, when I didn't have a lot

239
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.600
of personal experience with God, come on, y'all.

240
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:34.440
You guys, right now it's 9.13 here in this Airbnb I'm staying at, in Marfa, to wedding

241
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:35.520
plan for my daughter.

242
00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:38.280
She's getting married here in 85 days.

243
00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:39.720
It says 9.13 on the clock.

244
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.720
You know what that is?

245
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.720
You know what 9.13 is?

246
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.720
Jesus, come on.

247
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:48.640
9.13 is the suddenly scripture, and if you think we can't make this up, we can't make

248
00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:50.680
this up, y'all.

249
00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:57.400
9.13 is Amos 9.13, and suddenly, and suddenly, tell me that God does not want us to know

250
00:10:57.400 --> 00:10:58.680
about suddenly this morning.

251
00:10:58.680 --> 00:10:59.680
Go look it up.

252
00:10:59.680 --> 00:11:03.920
Look it up in the message translation, and suddenly, things happening so fast, your head's

253
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:04.920
going to spin.

254
00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:10.320
That's what the scripture says in the message, and suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,

255
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:11.320
let's read it.

256
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.480
Okay, let me earmark what I was going to say about being a new believer, and let's go over

257
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:22.640
here since Holy Spirit is in the mix, all right?

258
00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:26.640
Jesus, come on.

259
00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:30.640
I wish I got a picture of that.

260
00:11:30.640 --> 00:11:38.640
It's an old-fashioned retro clock where it's like the big numbers, 9.13, big as life.

261
00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:41.640
Okay, here it goes, message translation.

262
00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:46.400
Yes, indeed, it won't be long now, God's decree.

263
00:11:46.400 --> 00:11:50.880
Things are going to happen so fast, your head is going to swim one thing fast on the heels

264
00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:51.960
of the other.

265
00:11:52.280 --> 00:11:54.360
You won't be able to keep up.

266
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.240
Everything will be happening at once and everywhere you look, blessings, blessings, blessings,

267
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.520
like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.

268
00:12:03.520 --> 00:12:10.960
I will make everything right again for my people Israel, God, your God says so.

269
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:17.160
Jesus, suddenly, the suddenly scripture, powerful.

270
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.920
When I was a new believer, I didn't have a lot of history with God yet, right?

271
00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:29.520
I mean, as I continued to walk with the Lord, I was able to look back and see all of the

272
00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:36.360
years before I quote unquote met Jesus, right, at 22, I could see his hand on my life.

273
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:37.360
I could see him with me.

274
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.840
I could see him protecting me.

275
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.800
But when I first met Jesus, I didn't have, I didn't know that I had that history.

276
00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:46.720
I didn't know he had been with me, even though I didn't know he had been with me.

277
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.360
You know what I'm saying?

278
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.000
But as I progressed as a new believer, because I didn't have that history, that experiential

279
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:02.560
knowledge of God yet, yet, because I was going to get it, I would pray according to other

280
00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:04.040
people's blessings.

281
00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:07.760
Like when I really needed something, I'd be like, well, God, you did it for them.

282
00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:11.160
Well, God, you did it for them.

283
00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:14.240
And it wasn't like in a jealous way, it was in a, hey, if you did it for them, you can

284
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.600
do it for me.

285
00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:19.920
I remember being at a prayer meeting once where the pastor's wife was talking about

286
00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:23.160
how God spoke to her through the scriptures every morning.

287
00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:26.800
She would open the Bible and she would begin to read and God would begin to speak to her.

288
00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:31.480
And she would ask God to show her specifically a scripture that she needed to see in that

289
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.840
day and that he would highlight a scripture to her every day.

290
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:35.960
And y'all, you know what I did?

291
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.680
I left that prayer meeting and said, I want that.

292
00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.720
I'd like to have that.

293
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.720
Now I had a part to play.

294
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.320
I had to actually open the ancient wisdom every morning.

295
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.400
I had to open the scriptures every morning.

296
00:13:49.400 --> 00:13:51.080
I had to do my part, but you know what?

297
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.360
God gave it to me every day.

298
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.640
He spoke to me in his word.

299
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:57.280
He spoke to me through his word every day.

300
00:13:57.280 --> 00:14:02.160
When I would show up and open that book, he would show up and point out something that

301
00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:06.360
I needed, right?

302
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.920
If you want that, take it guys.

303
00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:11.960
The Bible says God's not a respecter of persons, right?

304
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:12.960
What does that mean?

305
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.000
He doesn't love any of us more than he loves the rest of us.

306
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.240
He doesn't, but God does love faith.

307
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:22.240
He does.

308
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.800
It says actually without it, it's impossible to please him.

309
00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:29.200
But there's a reason why a lot of people are like, well, I don't have much faith, so I

310
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:30.600
guess I'm not pleasing to God.

311
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.100
No, no, no, no, no.

312
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:36.720
It goes on to say that because when you have faith, and this is really the litmus test

313
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.200
of faith, do you keep coming to him?

314
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:40.840
Do you keep asking him?

315
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:42.920
Do you keep seeking him?

316
00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:46.560
That proves that you have faith because you keep coming back.

317
00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:47.560
Yeah.

318
00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:48.560
Things are still, they're not working out for you.

319
00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:52.240
They're not the way you want them to be, but you keep on showing up.

320
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.760
Without faith, it's impossible to please God because they that have faith, what?

321
00:14:56.760 --> 00:15:00.040
They seek him and they know that he's a rewarder of those that seek him.

322
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.960
And so that's all it is to have faith is that you just keep getting back up, you keep showing

323
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:12.520
back up, you keep asking, you keep knocking, you keep seeking, you don't give up, you don't

324
00:15:12.520 --> 00:15:13.520
give up.

325
00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:16.720
There's a scripture that goes along with this suddenly, this suddenly word this morning

326
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:21.220
that was highlighted to me this morning, Galatians 6, 9, it's one of my favorite scriptures.

327
00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:25.560
It says if you don't get weary, if you don't give up, right?

328
00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:29.880
In doing what you know to do, like this is all that I know to do, God, I'm doing my part,

329
00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:31.560
I don't know anything else to do.

330
00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:36.540
If you don't give up in doing your part, doing what you know to do, and the word says doing

331
00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:43.300
the right thing or the righteous thing, you will in due season, you guys, one of the translations

332
00:15:43.300 --> 00:15:45.260
says in due season.

333
00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:53.460
How many of us know that we are not just pregnant with promise, like we are fully gestated.

334
00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:54.760
But is our nurseries ready?

335
00:15:54.760 --> 00:15:56.300
Are we ready for a suddenly?

336
00:15:56.300 --> 00:15:59.720
Because I'm telling you labor comes on suddenly, you're not expecting it unless you go to the

337
00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:02.060
hospital and science gets involved and they induce you.

338
00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:03.060
You just really don't know.

339
00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:04.640
It's kind of like the return of Jesus.

340
00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:06.160
You don't know the day and the time.

341
00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:09.380
You don't know when it's going to happen, but it's going to happen, right?

342
00:16:09.380 --> 00:16:15.360
So if you don't give up in the right timing, in due season, that's all God's timing, right?

343
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:23.640
His supernatural way, you will reap if you faint not, come on, come on, God's talking

344
00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:30.120
us this morning, sudden leaves are upon us, sudden leaves are upon us about preparation.

345
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.800
And sometimes the preparation looks weird and you know, we're, we're just like, Oh God,

346
00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:37.880
I don't know what you're preparing me for because this preparation makes no sense.

347
00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:43.440
I will tell you friends that I have, you guys see me showing up right now and doing what

348
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:44.960
I do, right.

349
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.760
And carrying what I'm carrying from heaven and you know, being able to help in the ways

350
00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:50.760
that I'm helping.

351
00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:52.320
And that's beautiful and amazing.

352
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.340
But you didn't see the first, the 28 years that came before this and don't anyone get

353
00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:59.000
scared by the 28 year thing.

354
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.480
I mean, I was only 22 years old.

355
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.960
I obviously had to grow up and mature and all this stuff.

356
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:04.960
Okay.

357
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.560
You didn't see the 24 years before this, because this has been going on for four years now.

358
00:17:09.560 --> 00:17:11.280
You didn't see those years.

359
00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:15.400
They were full of a hodgepodge of preparation for this time.

360
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.319
They were full of me matchmaking my friends, me, marriage, coaching other people.

361
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.440
You know, I've helped so many marriages stay together.

362
00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:27.200
Guys, I can, at any given point, look in my Facebook memories, because Facebook reminds

363
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:31.760
you of everything you've been doing since 2007.

364
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:32.760
You know, it does.

365
00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:33.760
Right.

366
00:17:33.760 --> 00:17:36.680
If you don't know where that is, it's like on your little dashboard on Facebook, it says

367
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.680
memories.

368
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.880
And if you hit that button, it will show you what you were doing on this day, all the way

369
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.960
back to whenever you joined Facebook.

370
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.920
And I joined Facebook early, right after it was available to regular people and not just

371
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.240
college students.

372
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.960
And so Facebook will remind me of what I said on Facebook or what I was doing or what

373
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:59.600
I was posting all the way back, all the way back there.

374
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:02.560
And I will tell you that I was talking about this.

375
00:18:02.560 --> 00:18:04.920
I was talking about marriage and family.

376
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.400
I was talking about the revival of marriage and family.

377
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.020
I was talking about, you know, why you date in that scrub.

378
00:18:11.020 --> 00:18:16.120
I was talking about all the things y'all I was talking about all the things.

379
00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:17.120
Okay.

380
00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:19.520
I was talking about your heart work.

381
00:18:19.800 --> 00:18:22.640
If I tell you that my kids are so tired of hearing the word heart work, they're just

382
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:30.120
like, mom, mom, I'm trying to talk to you, but I know you're just going to tell me to

383
00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:31.120
do my heart work.

384
00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:36.600
I'm like, okay, baby, go ahead and complain to me, but then I'm going to show you how

385
00:18:36.600 --> 00:18:38.600
you can do your heart work.

386
00:18:38.600 --> 00:18:39.600
Right.

387
00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:43.080
For a long time, you guys, what was that?

388
00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:45.160
That was my preparation ground.

389
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.320
I worked a lot of weird jobs, you guys, a lot of weird jobs, because that's a provision

390
00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:51.400
on the way to the vision.

391
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:57.280
It was, I worked a lot of weird jobs and did a lot of things that don't seem to go together.

392
00:18:57.280 --> 00:19:00.880
I was a general manager of a television network for a while, right?

393
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.360
I was a media consultant for lots of big ministries and lots of big name preachers.

394
00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:08.680
You know, I wasn't the preacher.

395
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:13.200
As you see me now, I was the person behind the preacher, the person that was helping

396
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.360
that preacher get their message out.

397
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:17.600
I was doing all kinds of stuff that didn't make sense.

398
00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:24.880
I was working at JCPenney at Christmas time, selling people fast fashion from China to

399
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.960
try to buy my daughter Ugg boots.

400
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.600
I was doing all kinds of crazy stuff on this journey.

401
00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.600
What was all that?

402
00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:34.840
That was all preparation.

403
00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:36.000
God doesn't waste a bit of it.

404
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.240
He doesn't waste a second of it.

405
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.200
He doesn't waste a minute of it.

406
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.800
If you have been beating yourself up by some wrong turns that you think you've taken in

407
00:19:43.800 --> 00:19:47.000
your life, stop it.

408
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.960
You probably got more experience for your suddenly from those wrong turns than you did

409
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.360
the right ones.

410
00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:00.040
Romans 8, 28 promises us that when we are called according to God's purpose.

411
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.760
purpose, right? And we are, we're called according to his purpose to be sons and daughters in

412
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:09.680
the earth and to show people what heaven looks like. When we are that everything that has

413
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:15.380
happened good, bad, and ugly is worked out to the benefit of not just us, but everyone

414
00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:20.960
who's watching, right? Genesis 50, 20, very similar scripture, but the enemy meant for

415
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.260
evil. God not only turns for good for you, but for the good of everyone who's watching

416
00:20:25.260 --> 00:20:33.500
your life, everybody else to everybody else that your, your thing that you're carrying

417
00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:38.240
is going to help. So you guys, you suddenly are coming. Okay. So God highlighted something

418
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:44.860
to me. I'm telling you, super natural things are happening. Just like being on this call

419
00:20:44.860 --> 00:20:53.780
and glancing over at this retro mid-century modern clock that said nine 13, come on, come

420
00:20:53.780 --> 00:20:58.100
on, let's be ready for the sudden lease. Who wants to be ready for the sudden lease?

421
00:20:58.100 --> 00:21:04.460
And so that's going to be different for all of us. You guys, there's like 53 53 ish days

422
00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:12.340
until the year's half over. Come on. What's 53 ish days until the year's half over with

423
00:21:12.340 --> 00:21:16.140
until we get to normally, I think the halfway through the year is like July 2nd, but maybe

424
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:24.700
it's July 3rd this year because of leap year. But regardless, it's somewhere in there. What

425
00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:31.500
if you took the next couple months, almost two months, 53 days, what if you took that

426
00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:40.300
and you just focused on getting your nursery ready? What if you just, you know, obviously

427
00:21:40.300 --> 00:21:45.780
this program, obviously showing up here and gleaning and receiving, but also just taking

428
00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:51.580
that even if it's just one hour set aside time to just listen. It might not happen the

429
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:56.660
first time that you sit to listen, but I promise you very quickly in that appointment that

430
00:21:56.660 --> 00:22:02.160
you have with God that you keep and you don't let anything interfere with, you are going

431
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:07.500
to get instructions. You're going to start getting revelation. You're going to start

432
00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:15.180
getting insight and wisdom and instructions in that time, in that time that you have set

433
00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:23.940
aside. You will. And what if you just take the next 53 days and you decide that you're

434
00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:29.460
not going to do things your way, but you're going to see what the good path is and what

435
00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:34.260
God is saying the way that you should take. You're going to suspend your judgment on a

436
00:22:34.260 --> 00:22:37.900
few things. You're going to stop going a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction on some

437
00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:43.420
other things. And you are just going to sit and listen and you're going to obey what you

438
00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:49.660
hear. You're going to take imperfect action on what you hear, whether it's here in this

439
00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:58.180
community that God has led you to divinely, or it's in that time, that little sabbatical

440
00:22:58.180 --> 00:23:02.740
time when you're listening. I think you're going to show up better 53 days from now.

441
00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:07.020
I think things are going to shift 53 days from now. I think you're going to have, you

442
00:23:07.020 --> 00:23:14.540
know, some information that is going to cause you to be able to not just have a suddenly,

443
00:23:14.540 --> 00:23:18.980
but able to sustain that suddenly. When I was a kid, they had things called one hit

444
00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:24.820
wonders and this long seven hour car ride yesterday. I listened to some of those songs.

445
00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:29.620
They were chart toppers. They were earworms. All right. They were what the kids call now.

446
00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:34.980
They were, um, what do they call them? Bangers. They were bangers back in the day, y'all.

447
00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:39.660
But you know what? That band never did anything else. They never had another chart topper.

448
00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:45.140
They might've done something else, but I'm not aware of it because they never made it

449
00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:49.020
on the charts again. What happened there? We call those one hit wonders. I'll tell you

450
00:23:49.020 --> 00:23:53.500
what happened there because years ago, God had me do a little bit of a study on one hit

451
00:23:53.500 --> 00:24:00.140
wonders and like, where did they go? What happened? And in every single situation where

452
00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:06.100
a band just kind of came out of nowhere and hit the top of the charts, top 100 got up

453
00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:12.940
there towards the top, right? They imploded. The band imploded every single time. What

454
00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:16.540
does that mean? That means that they hadn't been playing long enough with each other,

455
00:24:16.540 --> 00:24:21.820
right? They didn't have true, like, you know, love for one another and camaraderie there.

456
00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:27.620
Um, they had, you know, really squirrely character issues where as soon as they hit that fame,

457
00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:31.100
they started to weed themselves out with drug addiction and all different types of

458
00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:36.500
stuff, right? They hadn't played the bars together to kind of gain that camaraderie.

459
00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:40.740
They hadn't playing that. They hadn't played the circuit together. They hadn't paid their

460
00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:45.500
dues. So to speak, they hadn't put in the work behind the scenes. They just got a catchy

461
00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:51.460
tune and it hit for whatever reason, but they couldn't sustain that level of stardom. And

462
00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:55.020
the reason why was because they didn't have managers around them. They didn't have publicists.

463
00:24:55.020 --> 00:25:00.060
They didn't have, they didn't have what they needed y'all. They weren't ready.

464
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.340
for that suddenly, they weren't ready for that.

465
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.280
And so that was it, they were a flash in the pan.

466
00:25:08.280 --> 00:25:10.360
There's a scripture in the Bible that says,

467
00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:11.760
it's in the book of Proverbs, it says,

468
00:25:11.760 --> 00:25:15.720
God's increase, his promotion, his upgrade for you,

469
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:17.000
comes without sorrow.

470
00:25:18.360 --> 00:25:20.320
It comes without sorrow,

471
00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:22.640
meaning that when God gives you a suddenly,

472
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.120
it's not attached to all kinds of heartbreak and heartache.

473
00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:27.600
It's not meant to be given to you

474
00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:29.280
before you're mature enough to handle it

475
00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:31.520
so that it wrecks your life.

476
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:34.800
You guys, there's a thing called sudden wealth syndrome

477
00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:39.800
or lottery, lottery phenomena, lottery winner phenomena.

478
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.160
And basically what it is, is that those people,

479
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:45.960
yeah, they played the ticket and maybe some of them

480
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.280
played the ticket every single day

481
00:25:48.280 --> 00:25:51.240
and hoping that they would be the big winner someday,

482
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.680
but they weren't preparing for what it would look like

483
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.620
to be the winner.

484
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.280
They must not have really actually believed

485
00:25:57.280 --> 00:25:58.840
they would ever be the winner

486
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.440
because when they won, guess what?

487
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.240
They weren't ready for that increase.

488
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.120
And in every single instance, it ruined their lives.

489
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.680
It ruined their lives, you guys, okay?

490
00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:20.040
So sudden wealth is not good if you don't have a plan.

491
00:26:20.040 --> 00:26:23.000
I used to be a life coach in this whole trajectory

492
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.640
to getting to where I'm just fully focusing

493
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.640
on the revival of marriage and family.

494
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:28.720
And people would come and say,

495
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.360
oh, if I only had a million dollars.

496
00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:34.560
And without missing a beat, my next question would be,

497
00:26:34.560 --> 00:26:36.520
and what would you do with a million dollars?

498
00:26:36.520 --> 00:26:37.480
They don't know.

499
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:40.240
They don't know what they would do.

500
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.820
Nine times out of 10, they don't know.

501
00:26:44.840 --> 00:26:46.160
And so here's the thing.

502
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.080
If you want a sudden windfall of wealth,

503
00:26:48.080 --> 00:26:49.480
if you wish that God would bless you

504
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:50.880
so you could be a blessing,

505
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.300
go ahead and map that out on paper,

506
00:26:53.300 --> 00:26:56.540
what you would do with that so that you know.

507
00:26:58.600 --> 00:27:01.420
Because there's this man called the tax man,

508
00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:04.520
and he gonna show up when you get money

509
00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:06.760
with his little handout, right?

510
00:27:06.760 --> 00:27:09.240
So you gotta know how to avoid him.

511
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.880
It's not tax evasion, y'all, it's just tax avoidance.

512
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.220
You gotta know, right?

513
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:15.960
You gotta know how to keep that money

514
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.760
so you can be blessed to bless others with it.

515
00:27:18.760 --> 00:27:22.640
You gotta know how to protect yourself and your family

516
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.320
if you got a windfall of money.

517
00:27:24.320 --> 00:27:26.400
You need to know how to make that money work for you.

518
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.560
Yeah, you need to know how to sell that money.

519
00:27:28.560 --> 00:27:31.240
You need to know how to invest that money.

520
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.400
Sounds like I've been thinking about it

521
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.800
for a little while, huh?

522
00:27:33.800 --> 00:27:36.160
But I also don't play the lottery, so.

523
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.100
The bottom line is this.

524
00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:40.880
Whatever it is that you're asking for,

525
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.920
please know that what you're going to do with it,

526
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.880
doesn't matter if it's money,

527
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.160
it doesn't matter if it's a promotion at work,

528
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:51.440
with everything, y'all, is gonna come more responsibility.

529
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.180
It's gonna come change and transition.

530
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.860
Maybe you want that promotion at work,

531
00:27:57.860 --> 00:28:00.300
but have you taken account?

532
00:28:00.300 --> 00:28:03.380
Have you counted the cost of those extra hours

533
00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:06.820
or those different hours or that different workload?

534
00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:08.300
Think about these things.

535
00:28:08.300 --> 00:28:09.420
Be ready for these things.

536
00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:11.740
It doesn't mean you shouldn't want that upgrade.

537
00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:14.320
All that means is that be ready for that upgrade.

538
00:28:15.300 --> 00:28:16.300
Be ready for it.

539
00:28:19.340 --> 00:28:20.900
I was sitting in the nail salon

540
00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:24.320
and I was doing my nails and they had,

541
00:28:24.320 --> 00:28:25.820
and I feel like it was a divine moment

542
00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:28.540
because I went to the place that normally does my nails,

543
00:28:28.540 --> 00:28:32.860
because you guys, I'm going to Cartagena, right?

544
00:28:32.860 --> 00:28:34.860
I'm going to Columbia and I got to show up,

545
00:28:34.860 --> 00:28:36.580
can't show up with raggedy nails.

546
00:28:36.580 --> 00:28:39.300
I got to show up with some nails that look nice.

547
00:28:39.300 --> 00:28:40.780
And so I was getting that done.

548
00:28:40.780 --> 00:28:42.180
It's the only time I had to do it.

549
00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:44.540
And the place that I usually went to was just booked.

550
00:28:44.540 --> 00:28:45.380
They were solid.

551
00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:46.260
They're usually just dead

552
00:28:46.260 --> 00:28:48.300
and you can just walk in and get it all done.

553
00:28:48.300 --> 00:28:51.060
And they were like, oh, you got to wait and all this stuff.

554
00:28:51.060 --> 00:28:53.380
And I'm like, oh no, because of prom

555
00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:55.420
and just things I didn't think about, right?

556
00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:57.260
So I go down the street to a place that I was like,

557
00:28:57.260 --> 00:28:59.580
I don't know, I guess I go to this place, whatever.

558
00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:01.780
And so I go inside and they can take me

559
00:29:01.780 --> 00:29:02.660
and then I'm sitting down.

560
00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.540
So I'm in the right place at the right time, right?

561
00:29:04.540 --> 00:29:07.060
Because I wouldn't, I'm not normally where I would be.

562
00:29:07.060 --> 00:29:08.940
So God's talking to me.

563
00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:10.960
And you guys, when that stuff happens in your life,

564
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:13.300
when you end up doing something differently

565
00:29:13.300 --> 00:29:16.180
than what you normally do, please pay attention.

566
00:29:18.300 --> 00:29:21.100
Because to me, that's a divine appointment.

567
00:29:21.100 --> 00:29:23.780
It has all the makings of a divine appointment.

568
00:29:23.820 --> 00:29:27.020
If you are in a place that you're normally not in,

569
00:29:27.020 --> 00:29:28.500
if you had to do something differently

570
00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:31.900
than you normally do, go to a different grocery store,

571
00:29:31.900 --> 00:29:35.220
take a different direction because there's a water break

572
00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:36.740
or it doesn't matter.

573
00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:40.120
If you break routine at all for any reason,

574
00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:42.540
not because you're trying to,

575
00:29:42.540 --> 00:29:45.060
but because something happened that caused you to,

576
00:29:45.060 --> 00:29:46.620
pay attention.

577
00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:48.420
Because remember, God's always talking to us.

578
00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:50.080
So I'm sitting there and getting our nails done.

579
00:29:50.080 --> 00:29:51.780
And God hasn't even given me this message

580
00:29:51.780 --> 00:29:53.000
for Supernatural Saturday yet

581
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.840
about sudden leaves or any of those things.

582
00:29:54.840 --> 00:29:57.840
And I look up at the television,

583
00:29:57.840 --> 00:30:00.040
the huge television they have in there.

584
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.880
And of course it's not on, you can't hear the sound, there's subtitles playing.

585
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:03.760
And you know what it is?

586
00:30:04.080 --> 00:30:07.600
It is an old, old episode of Deal or No Deal.

587
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.240
You guys know that show?

588
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:15.320
Howie Mandel is the host and the contestant, you know, they choose a case.

589
00:30:15.320 --> 00:30:19.520
There's all these beautiful women with these numbered cases, kind of like

590
00:30:19.520 --> 00:30:21.320
mafia money cases, right?

591
00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:22.360
With numbers on them.

592
00:30:22.600 --> 00:30:26.520
And then they choose a number, the contestant does, and then that's their case.

593
00:30:26.520 --> 00:30:27.840
They keep that case with them.

594
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:31.600
And then the bank tries to get them to either give up that case or buy that

595
00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:35.880
case back because no one knows that case can contain all the way from one cent to

596
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:41.520
a million dollars, like the number in it, the number 0.01, all the way to one

597
00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:43.200
with all the zeros after it.

598
00:30:43.560 --> 00:30:48.080
And then all the other cases contain some sort of, you know, new metric value

599
00:30:48.080 --> 00:30:50.360
between one cent and $1 million.

600
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:52.960
And this person has to start guessing and opening cases.

601
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.000
They have to point to the girl that has the case and say, Hey, you open that

602
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.720
case for me.

603
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.520
And they're just hoping to keep it low numbers.

604
00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:02.720
They want to get all the low numbers because the bank will give them higher

605
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:06.600
and higher payouts if all the high numbers are still in play.

606
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:07.080
Right?

607
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:07.920
So there you go.

608
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.200
All the, all the things you've ever wanted to know about this game.

609
00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:14.000
But the thing is, is that I don't even think that this, this show is even on TV

610
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.640
anymore.

611
00:31:14.800 --> 00:31:19.400
And this definitely is an old, old episode, probably like 15 years ago or

612
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:21.920
plus episode, maybe even longer than that.

613
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.120
I'd say circa 2005, six, somewhere in there.

614
00:31:26.280 --> 00:31:29.040
And I'm watching it and I'm like, Hey, I think I've seen this episode before.

615
00:31:29.040 --> 00:31:30.800
And I'm watching, I'm watching and I'm watching.

616
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.320
And then the guy is getting to the wire.

617
00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:34.840
It said to make it or break it.

618
00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:37.080
It's a win or lose kind of moment.

619
00:31:37.280 --> 00:31:39.800
And he points to number 24 case.

620
00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:44.560
And I look up to see, and the girl who's opening it is Megan Markle.

621
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:50.120
Prince Harry's wife is open in this case on deal or no deal.

622
00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:51.600
Okay.

623
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.200
And I'm like, Whoa, that's Megan Markle.

624
00:31:56.600 --> 00:31:59.280
She started out her career on deal or no deal.

625
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.800
And I'm watching her.

626
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:04.040
And then, and then God starts talking to me.

627
00:32:04.040 --> 00:32:05.160
You guys immediately.

628
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:10.760
He said, did she know that this was going to lead to marrying the Prince?

629
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.920
Jesus.

630
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.640
Did she know that this was going to lead to marrying the Prince?

631
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.480
Cause you guys, it did.

632
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.960
She got her big break on deal or no deal.

633
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.800
She quit because she's like, this is sexist.

634
00:32:23.080 --> 00:32:24.840
So she was on there for two years.

635
00:32:24.840 --> 00:32:27.640
Cause I did all the research after God started talking to me about it.

636
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.400
She was on there for two years and she's like, this is sexist.

637
00:32:30.600 --> 00:32:32.960
Well, honey, like, this is what I got to say about that.

638
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:35.040
Did you not know what they were hiring you for?

639
00:32:35.280 --> 00:32:38.000
She's like, all I have to do is just stand around and be pretty.

640
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:39.680
She's like, this is all about my looks.

641
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.640
Well, yeah.

642
00:32:41.280 --> 00:32:41.800
Duh.

643
00:32:41.800 --> 00:32:43.960
I mean, you're a briefcase, babe.

644
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.720
What did you think the job was?

645
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:48.440
Did you think it was a dissertation on world peace?

646
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.040
I mean, girl, but anyway, she was there for two years.

647
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:53.320
Okay.

648
00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:56.920
2005, 2006, opening the case number 24.

649
00:32:57.760 --> 00:33:03.600
And then that led to her getting a big break in a couple other roles that led

650
00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:05.960
to her main role on the show suits.

651
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:10.160
And you guys, it was because of that role on suits that she was on for like

652
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.080
seven years because of that role.

653
00:33:13.080 --> 00:33:17.120
And because of the people that she met doing that role, that she was in the

654
00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:21.680
house party and in the living room where she met Prince Harry, do you guys

655
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:22.640
see this trajectory?

656
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.720
Did she know that she was in training for reigning?

657
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:30.720
Did she know that she was, you know, doing things that were going

658
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.480
to lead her to her destiny?

659
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:35.160
And, you know, and I pray that she takes that destiny seriously.

660
00:33:35.360 --> 00:33:38.360
There's a lot of crazy stuff that's happened since she married Prince Harry.

661
00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:41.360
And I don't know, you know, who the villains are in that story.

662
00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:43.600
And that's none of my business, but I will tell you this.

663
00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:45.720
I will tell you that I believe that there are a lot of people

664
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.160
watching and there's a lot at stake.

665
00:33:47.560 --> 00:33:49.720
So once again, our breakthrough creates breakthrough for other

666
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.840
people's breakthrough, right?

667
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.440
But you guys, you see that now it wasn't a suddenly, but for the people

668
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.360
watching, I remember when people were like, Prince Harry is dating an actress.

669
00:33:59.360 --> 00:34:01.200
Prince Harry is dating Meghan Markle.

670
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:01.760
Oh my gosh.

671
00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:02.480
Can you believe it?

672
00:34:02.760 --> 00:34:04.720
And it kind of happened suddenly.

673
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:08.199
They met at the party and fell in love like immediately.

674
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:13.679
But you guys see that there was some trajectory behind that, where she was

675
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.960
in the right place at the right time, where she continued to be moved around.

676
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:22.360
Divinely into a place where she could be in proximity.

677
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.480
God wants to put you in proximity to some things that you've been praying for.

678
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.920
Who wants to be put into proximity to some things that you've been praying for?

679
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.360
Who wants to be in the same rooms with not just your spirit mate, but be in the

680
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.520
same rooms with people that are holding the other pieces to your puzzle?

681
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:42.440
Who wants that?

682
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:47.639
Who wants to be in the same rooms with people that are the missing pieces of

683
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:51.280
pieces to things that you've been trying to do and get done in life?

684
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.400
That's happened to me a couple of times.

685
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.920
I want it to happen to me even more.

686
00:34:57.080 --> 00:34:58.040
And I believe it will.

687
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.960
But you know what?

688
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.880
Part of our preparation for that is knowing what we would do

689
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.120
if the opportunity presented itself.

690
00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:11.520
I will tell you one thing that I definitely am leaning into,

691
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:13.600
and maybe this is for some of you as well.

692
00:35:13.600 --> 00:35:15.480
You can't say yes to everything.

693
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.880
And a lot of times when this part of your life

694
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:20.760
starts moving fast, right?

695
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.080
Those suddenly start stacking up,

696
00:35:23.080 --> 00:35:26.840
there's going to be options presented to you.

697
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.520
You're gonna have more than one open door.

698
00:35:28.520 --> 00:35:31.080
Remember, we're still in the year of the open door.

699
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:33.200
And so what door do you walk through?

700
00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:35.360
Because you can't walk through all of them.

701
00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:39.480
And this is where that time with God

702
00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:42.960
is gonna help you to make the best decision.

703
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:44.400
I don't believe there's a wrong decision

704
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.000
or a right decision in these open doors.

705
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:46.840
I wanna say that.

706
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:48.880
I'm feeling that in my heart and in my spirit.

707
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:52.520
It's not like one of the doors is from Satan

708
00:35:52.520 --> 00:35:55.880
and the other door is from God, okay?

709
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.440
Now there's obviously warfare,

710
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.080
so don't hear what I'm not saying.

711
00:35:59.080 --> 00:36:00.240
There's warfare,

712
00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:03.160
but I don't believe that you prayed and Satan answered, okay?

713
00:36:03.160 --> 00:36:06.800
These open doors are all places that lead to,

714
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.080
they're all things that lead to different places,

715
00:36:09.080 --> 00:36:11.640
but some of them are better than others.

716
00:36:11.640 --> 00:36:13.360
It's about good, better, and best

717
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:14.200
in this area of your life.

718
00:36:14.200 --> 00:36:15.360
Write that down.

719
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.840
It's about good, better, and best.

720
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.160
It's not about good, bad, and evil, right?

721
00:36:20.160 --> 00:36:22.080
It's about good, better, and best,

722
00:36:22.080 --> 00:36:24.800
but you can't do all the things.

723
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.440
You gotta choose one.

724
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.840
And I know a lot of times we have FOMO and like, oh no,

725
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.560
but I wanna do all the things,

726
00:36:32.560 --> 00:36:33.880
but you can't do all the things.

727
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:34.920
You can't.

728
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:36.440
I believe you can have it all,

729
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:37.840
all that God has for you in life,

730
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.120
but you can't have it all at the same time.

731
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:44.240
So remember, don't worry.

732
00:36:44.240 --> 00:36:48.160
If God prompts you in that quiet time with him

733
00:36:48.160 --> 00:36:51.120
in a direction that you thought you would go later

734
00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:52.040
and not now,

735
00:36:52.040 --> 00:36:53.760
you thought you would do some other things first,

736
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.600
just trust him.

737
00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:56.000
He knows how it all goes together.

738
00:36:56.560 --> 00:36:57.400
He sees the big picture.

739
00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:58.880
You don't.

740
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.400
You don't see the big picture.

741
00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:04.160
You guys get ahold of this this morning.

742
00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:05.440
This is hot off the presses.

743
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.360
This is hot bread from heaven.

744
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.480
I don't listen to preachers.

745
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:11.360
Okay, that came out wrong.

746
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:13.280
I don't scroll through social media,

747
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.000
listening to other people's prophetic words

748
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.680
and reading other people's prophetic words

749
00:37:16.680 --> 00:37:18.480
and listening to other preachers

750
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:20.160
and listening to podcasts.

751
00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:23.480
Y'all, I'm like a little naked baby in the woods.

752
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.760
I don't know what's going on at all out there.

753
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:31.200
I am so disconnected from what's going on out there, okay?

754
00:37:31.200 --> 00:37:32.280
From what other people are saying.

755
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:33.760
So this is from the Lord.

756
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.080
And so if you see this out there,

757
00:37:36.080 --> 00:37:38.560
a confirmation of this or some similar message,

758
00:37:38.560 --> 00:37:41.400
just know my message is not based on that message.

759
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.040
This message is from heaven to you,

760
00:37:43.040 --> 00:37:46.000
to this specific group of people right here, right now.

761
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:47.200
And if you see something out there,

762
00:37:47.200 --> 00:37:48.880
that's a confirmation for you.

763
00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:53.320
That's a confirmation for you.

764
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.320
I try to keep this flow pretty pure, pretty pure,

765
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.440
as far as just what God is saying.

766
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:02.800
Because you guys, there's a lot of good things

767
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:04.320
that are happening, but they're not all for us.

768
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.680
And that's why it's important

769
00:38:05.680 --> 00:38:09.400
that you're not always just looking around and searching.

770
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:11.280
To me, it's almost like going to a psychic.

771
00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:13.280
You're just trying to force

772
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:16.680
some sort of prophecy over your life

773
00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:19.120
by just kind of sifting through all the prophecies

774
00:38:19.120 --> 00:38:21.400
until you get one that you like,

775
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.200
one that you want to be true.

776
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.040
That's not how this works.

777
00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:28.800
It's not how this works, you guys.

778
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.160
And you're gonna miss out on the suddenly if you do that.

779
00:38:31.160 --> 00:38:32.960
Now, look, this has turned into a corrective word.

780
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.160
You guys, this is Holy Spirit.

781
00:38:34.160 --> 00:38:35.120
This is not me.

782
00:38:35.120 --> 00:38:36.560
Do not shoot the messenger.

783
00:38:36.560 --> 00:38:40.360
But I'm telling you, that is how you miss opportunities

784
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.360
when you're trying to orchestrate your season

785
00:38:46.200 --> 00:38:49.440
according to what you want it to be time for.

786
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.280
In fact, I did that.

787
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:54.560
I did that, you guys, with the birth of Regan.

788
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:57.120
I was almost to the end.

789
00:38:57.120 --> 00:38:59.920
I had about a month to go, maybe three weeks.

790
00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:01.600
And she was fully gestated.

791
00:39:01.600 --> 00:39:03.440
The doctor said that she was gonna be

792
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.240
probably nine pounds at birth.

793
00:39:05.240 --> 00:39:07.000
From what they could tell from blood work

794
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:08.440
and all the things, she was fully formed.

795
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:11.800
Lungs were strong, all the things, everything good.

796
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:13.440
Thumbs up, ready to go.

797
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:15.720
Could go at any time, right?

798
00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:17.760
And I'm like, oh, that sounds good.

799
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.600
Let's go now.

800
00:39:19.560 --> 00:39:22.360
Let's go now, right?

801
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:23.560
Because I'm tired.

802
00:39:23.560 --> 00:39:25.560
She's got her feet up in my ribs, heads down.

803
00:39:25.560 --> 00:39:26.400
I'm like, I'm ready.

804
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:28.840
Let's go, let's go, let's go now.

805
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:33.840
And every day I'd be like trying to help God

806
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:36.480
make the decision for her to be born.

807
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:38.480
Hey God, can I just go today?

808
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:39.320
Can I just go today?

809
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:40.760
Please God, can I go today?

810
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.720
I was trying to manipulate my season.

811
00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:43.920
I was trying to make things happen

812
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:45.800
the way that I wanted them to happen.

813
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.440
I was trying to make things happen

814
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.440
I was going according to my human reasoning

815
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.200
of what I thought would be best for me

816
00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:54.440
and for her and all the things, right?

817
00:39:55.600 --> 00:39:57.320
I thought that I was doing,

818
00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:59.240
I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.

819
00:39:59.240 --> 00:40:00.080
And then one day.

820
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.080
as i'm crying in the afternoon having a little meltdown like i just wanna get birth right now

821
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.960
god said to me because i'm already right the nursery's ready everything's ready

822
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.920
like what's the hold up god said to me he said jackie this goes back to that galatians 6 verse

823
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:20.560
that word in their due season actually is seen in another scripture and you know where that is

824
00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:26.800
acts chapter 2 when holy spirit comes and in and they were all with one accord in one place

825
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:33.520
all right in due season that's the actual language behind that the greek language

826
00:40:33.520 --> 00:40:37.920
they were there there's another place actually that it happens that same wording it happens

827
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:42.720
at the birth of christ and when her days were fully come that's what's translated into english

828
00:40:42.720 --> 00:40:47.280
but it's still that same word for due season from galatians and acts come on you guys

829
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:53.520
so this is what god said to me he said jackie he said you're going to go at your appointed time

830
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.960
and not a moment sooner he said i'm going to use your life and i'm going to use the story

831
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:05.920
so i'm going to use you as a as a sign prophet in this story to show my children um something

832
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.880
that i'm going to be doing at the end of the age which is what we're in now okay she's 23 years

833
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:18.320
old at the end of age she just celebrated her 23rd her golden birthday 23 on the 23rd of march

834
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:26.160
of march and you guys i went into labor on my due date on my actual due date that the doctor

835
00:41:26.160 --> 00:41:32.560
gives you at my appointed time i went into labor and it was the craziest labor and this was god

836
00:41:32.560 --> 00:41:37.200
said to me he said he said you'll go at your appointed time he said and your pregnancy has

837
00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:41.360
been long and hard it was you guys i was dealing with all kinds of mental emotional and physical

838
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:46.720
situations i gotten pregnant in a season of my life where i was very physically ill with all

839
00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:50.480
kinds of different things panic disorder and i can go on and on i'm just going to tell you it

840
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:58.320
was hard it was a hard hard 40 weeks okay and god said your late your pregnancy has been long and

841
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:05.840
hard but your labor will be quick and easy what was he saying suddenly jackie suddenly and you

842
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:11.680
guys i went on my appointed day just like he prophesied over me and i gave birth to that baby

843
00:42:11.680 --> 00:42:15.680
in four hours with no drugs didn't even hardly make it to the hospital i was seven centimeters

844
00:42:15.680 --> 00:42:18.800
dilated if i would have stayed at home just a little while longer i wasn't in any pain

845
00:42:20.640 --> 00:42:27.600
guys this is what happened this is the truth in fact i think that the doctor slowed me down

846
00:42:27.600 --> 00:42:32.560
because when i got there i was seven centimeters dilated when i called the when i called the

847
00:42:32.560 --> 00:42:37.440
doctor on the line because it's 10 o'clock at night when i called him on the you know after

848
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:41.760
hours line to tell him i thought i was in labor he said well what what are the signs of your labor

849
00:42:41.760 --> 00:42:44.400
i was like i don't know i just feel like i'm in labor he's like what are you talking about and i

850
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:50.880
was like i feel weird and he's like well you what like what like what even are you talking

851
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:58.080
about but you guys i knew i got up i was pacing the floor i knew i knew that i was in labor even

852
00:42:58.080 --> 00:43:03.280
though there weren't a lot of traditional signs of labor and he said you know what just wait a

853
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:07.040
couple hours and call me back and i said are you sure because i feel like i need to push and he

854
00:43:07.040 --> 00:43:13.680
goes go to the hospital and it's a good thing i did y'all that would have been a home birth

855
00:43:13.680 --> 00:43:22.880
back before home birth was cool right what was happening here the carrying the gestation of the

856
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:31.840
promise was hard but when it came time my due season my appointed time the labor was quick

857
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:40.000
and easy boom suddenly suddenly suddenly suddenly but everything was ready you guys

858
00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:45.920
i was ready all the things for the promise were ready and so this is your time of an

859
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:51.840
accelerated preparation process it's not time to quit it's time to go all in a lot of you

860
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:55.600
have just been kind of goofing around with this and it's not time to goof around with this and

861
00:43:55.600 --> 00:44:01.840
i say that in love it's time for you to actually act actually act god said this to me one day about

862
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:07.680
a promise that he had given me he said jackie i've given you this promise i've confirmed this promise

863
00:44:07.680 --> 00:44:11.520
i'm not going to tell y'all what the promise is so don't ask okay so i've given you this promise

864
00:44:11.520 --> 00:44:16.160
i've confirmed this promise he said but i need you to start acting like this is a certainty and

865
00:44:16.160 --> 00:44:25.280
not a hypothetical the proof of belief is action y'all a lot of times we hear things and we hear

866
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:29.840
them and we think they're from the lord and they make our heart feel good and then someone else

867
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:33.360
might say it to us like oh my gosh i heard that in prayer and we'll write it down in our journal

868
00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:40.240
and that's as far as it goes we don't put any legs on that we don't put any legs on that

869
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:45.120
that shows that you liked hearing it but you don't really believe it

870
00:44:47.200 --> 00:44:49.440
you liked hearing it but you don't really believe it

871
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:55.520
because the proof of belief is action the proof of belief is preparation

872
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:59.840
but a lot of people they stop at just hearing it

873
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.400
They're not just, they're not doers of that word.

874
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:03.360
They're just hearers of it.

875
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:05.160
And the reason why is because you are so scared

876
00:45:05.160 --> 00:45:06.880
of being disappointed.

877
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.520
If you put legs on that and you walk it out,

878
00:45:09.520 --> 00:45:10.760
it seems too good to be true.

879
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:11.880
And you know what they say,

880
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:14.580
if it's too good to be true, then it's not true.

881
00:45:14.580 --> 00:45:15.440
That's not true.

882
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.360
Y'all, have you ever read the Bible?

883
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:18.760
It's too good to be true.

884
00:45:20.520 --> 00:45:22.520
You know, every other religion has people jumping

885
00:45:22.520 --> 00:45:25.760
through all kinds of crazy hoops to try to please this God

886
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:29.060
that they're serving that really doesn't like them,

887
00:45:29.100 --> 00:45:31.500
really doesn't like them very much.

888
00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:33.820
He's mean, he's demanding.

889
00:45:33.820 --> 00:45:36.500
They spend their entire lives just cutting themselves

890
00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:39.220
and crying out and trying to get him to love them, right?

891
00:45:39.220 --> 00:45:41.660
That's what every other religion looks like.

892
00:45:41.660 --> 00:45:44.700
But this Christianity, this thing that we follow,

893
00:45:44.700 --> 00:45:47.220
this Christ that we follow, he died for us.

894
00:45:47.220 --> 00:45:48.540
He doesn't ask us to die for him.

895
00:45:48.540 --> 00:45:49.740
He died for us.

896
00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:50.880
What?

897
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.320
That's too good to be true.

898
00:45:53.220 --> 00:45:55.220
And is it based on some set of, you know,

899
00:45:55.220 --> 00:45:57.180
T's that you cross and I's that you dot?

900
00:45:57.180 --> 00:46:01.380
No, it's based on how he did for you when he died,

901
00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:03.500
not just for you, but as you.

902
00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:04.780
Guys, I don't know about you,

903
00:46:04.780 --> 00:46:06.820
but that kind of grace is scandalous.

904
00:46:06.820 --> 00:46:09.140
That's too good to be true.

905
00:46:09.140 --> 00:46:11.420
And so do you realize that your entire life,

906
00:46:11.420 --> 00:46:13.220
everything that you're hoping for, not just now,

907
00:46:13.220 --> 00:46:15.620
but in eternity is actually based on something

908
00:46:15.620 --> 00:46:17.820
that's too good to be true?

909
00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:19.540
And so when you get a personal prayer,

910
00:46:19.540 --> 00:46:22.100
a personal promise from God that seems too good to be true,

911
00:46:22.100 --> 00:46:23.780
and you write it down, it gets confirmed,

912
00:46:23.780 --> 00:46:25.340
you get excited about it in your heart,

913
00:46:25.340 --> 00:46:27.260
and you're like, oh, that sounds so good.

914
00:46:27.260 --> 00:46:28.340
I wish that would happen.

915
00:46:28.340 --> 00:46:29.820
Okay, God, you do it.

916
00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:33.980
No, he's inviting you to do it.

917
00:46:35.260 --> 00:46:37.220
He's telling you that it's possible.

918
00:46:37.220 --> 00:46:39.340
He's telling you that he's in it

919
00:46:39.340 --> 00:46:41.020
and that he wants it for you.

920
00:46:41.020 --> 00:46:43.820
Now it's time for you to take imperfect action on that.

921
00:46:47.100 --> 00:46:47.940
Amen.

922
00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:52.220
I mean, I could just imagine how Megan felt

923
00:46:52.220 --> 00:46:54.500
when she realized that the prince

924
00:46:54.500 --> 00:46:56.260
wanted to go on a date with her.

925
00:46:58.700 --> 00:47:00.660
That really sounds too good to be true.

926
00:47:03.900 --> 00:47:05.100
But she showed up for that.

927
00:47:05.100 --> 00:47:08.180
And y'all, you gotta show up in this life,

928
00:47:08.180 --> 00:47:11.780
even if the thing that you feel like God's inviting you into

929
00:47:11.780 --> 00:47:14.900
is just way beyond your pay grade,

930
00:47:14.900 --> 00:47:17.420
because he does not call the qualified.

931
00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:19.020
He qualifies the called.

932
00:47:19.020 --> 00:47:21.180
And I'm living proof of that, right?

933
00:47:21.180 --> 00:47:23.660
My mom was divorced three times before I was 10 years old.

934
00:47:23.660 --> 00:47:25.020
I myself am divorced.

935
00:47:25.020 --> 00:47:26.020
Look what I do.

936
00:47:26.860 --> 00:47:30.100
Look what I do with my one and only life.

937
00:47:30.100 --> 00:47:31.340
Well, shoot.

938
00:47:31.340 --> 00:47:33.220
If that ain't a Genesis 50, 20 moment,

939
00:47:33.220 --> 00:47:35.140
I don't know what is.

940
00:47:35.140 --> 00:47:37.140
I feel like little old Joseph over here

941
00:47:38.500 --> 00:47:40.140
has some crazy backstory,

942
00:47:40.140 --> 00:47:42.580
but still end up in the place of authority

943
00:47:42.580 --> 00:47:46.980
to help change one area of people's lives.

944
00:47:46.980 --> 00:47:49.340
And I feel like people get all kinds of breakthrough here,

945
00:47:49.340 --> 00:47:50.420
not just their love stories.

946
00:47:50.420 --> 00:47:52.740
So love it, love it, love it.

947
00:47:52.740 --> 00:47:54.820
So we're gonna spend some time

948
00:47:54.820 --> 00:47:56.580
getting ready for those suddenlies.

949
00:47:56.580 --> 00:47:59.180
We have 53 days till the middle of the year,

950
00:47:59.180 --> 00:48:03.580
halfway over that tipping point moment of 2024,

951
00:48:03.580 --> 00:48:05.100
the year of the open door.

952
00:48:06.900 --> 00:48:07.940
We're not gonna treat this stuff

953
00:48:07.940 --> 00:48:09.380
like hypotheticals anymore.

954
00:48:09.380 --> 00:48:11.220
We are gonna treat it like certainties.

955
00:48:11.220 --> 00:48:13.940
And if you believe that it could happen tomorrow,

956
00:48:13.940 --> 00:48:16.540
what would you change about today?

957
00:48:17.380 --> 00:48:20.140
Y'all, I know that you're getting hyped up right now,

958
00:48:20.140 --> 00:48:22.180
but I don't want an emotional response from you.

959
00:48:22.180 --> 00:48:24.580
I want to see action.

960
00:48:24.580 --> 00:48:27.380
And I want you to come back and tell us about that action,

961
00:48:27.380 --> 00:48:31.100
either on Friday or Sunday of next week, all right?

962
00:48:31.100 --> 00:48:33.380
So Father, everything that's been said here this morning,

963
00:48:33.380 --> 00:48:35.100
we want you to seal it in with your spirit

964
00:48:35.100 --> 00:48:36.260
that it's of you.

965
00:48:36.260 --> 00:48:39.060
Everything that's of you, seal it in with your spirit.

966
00:48:39.060 --> 00:48:42.220
Help us to be willing, to be made willing,

967
00:48:42.220 --> 00:48:44.620
to do our part in the day of your power.

968
00:48:44.620 --> 00:48:47.340
To do our part in the day of your power.

969
00:48:47.340 --> 00:48:48.660
Now is the time, Lord.

970
00:48:48.660 --> 00:48:50.620
You have called us, you have purposed us,

971
00:48:50.620 --> 00:48:53.420
you have qualified us, you've sanctified us,

972
00:48:53.420 --> 00:48:55.180
you've justified us.

973
00:48:55.180 --> 00:48:57.300
And now you're putting our feet in the places

974
00:48:57.300 --> 00:48:58.220
where we need to be.

975
00:48:58.220 --> 00:48:59.780
Help us to walk forward.

976
00:48:59.780 --> 00:49:01.620
Give us that strength.

977
00:49:01.620 --> 00:49:03.740
Everything that we do is by your empowerment.

978
00:49:03.740 --> 00:49:07.220
So even now, God, give us the grace to say yes.

979
00:49:07.220 --> 00:49:09.020
Give us the grace to follow through.

980
00:49:09.020 --> 00:49:11.740
We're leaning into you and not into our own strength,

981
00:49:11.740 --> 00:49:15.420
not into our own gifts, not into our own understanding.

982
00:49:15.420 --> 00:49:17.580
Your word says that if we trust in you

983
00:49:17.580 --> 00:49:19.340
with all of our heart,

984
00:49:19.340 --> 00:49:22.020
and we don't lean to our own understanding,

985
00:49:22.020 --> 00:49:24.660
but in all of our ways, we acknowledge you,

986
00:49:24.660 --> 00:49:27.540
you will direct our paths.

987
00:49:27.540 --> 00:49:30.420
And so we are believing for that right now.

988
00:49:30.420 --> 00:49:32.660
We are receiving that right now.

989
00:49:32.660 --> 00:49:36.620
God, we want bigger lives than what we have now.

990
00:49:36.620 --> 00:49:40.500
We want to impact more people than we do now.

991
00:49:40.500 --> 00:49:43.060
We want our lives to mean something, Lord.

992
00:49:43.060 --> 00:49:45.940
We want to help people to see what it looks like

993
00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:47.940
to be a son or daughter of God.

994
00:49:47.940 --> 00:49:51.100
We want to show people heaven on earth

995
00:49:51.100 --> 00:49:54.580
through our lives, through our love stories,

996
00:49:54.580 --> 00:49:56.980
through our family relationships, Lord,

997
00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:59.140
through our parenting, through our finances,

998
00:49:59.140 --> 00:49:59.980
through our work.

999
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.540
work ethic, God, through our revelation, Lord,

1000
00:50:02.540 --> 00:50:05.200
in every area of our lives, through our health,

1001
00:50:05.200 --> 00:50:06.780
through the way we treat others, God,

1002
00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:09.340
through the way we treat ourselves and our own bodies,

1003
00:50:09.340 --> 00:50:11.660
we want people to see heaven.

1004
00:50:11.660 --> 00:50:13.140
We want people to say,

1005
00:50:13.140 --> 00:50:17.420
there is something different about you.

1006
00:50:17.420 --> 00:50:19.280
There is something different about your life.

1007
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:20.620
I've been watching you.

1008
00:50:20.620 --> 00:50:23.900
I see, I see that all of a sudden,

1009
00:50:23.900 --> 00:50:25.700
all of the things that you've been talking about

1010
00:50:25.700 --> 00:50:28.700
all of those years are now happening.

1011
00:50:28.700 --> 00:50:32.540
Our parents, our children, God, our grown children,

1012
00:50:32.540 --> 00:50:34.260
the stories that we've been telling,

1013
00:50:34.260 --> 00:50:35.860
the words that we've been sharing

1014
00:50:35.860 --> 00:50:37.140
about what you've said to us

1015
00:50:37.140 --> 00:50:38.940
in those private prayer closets,

1016
00:50:38.940 --> 00:50:40.300
the things that we've been diligent

1017
00:50:40.300 --> 00:50:43.100
to continue to rehearse out loud and share

1018
00:50:43.100 --> 00:50:46.380
that have never even come close to coming to pass.

1019
00:50:46.380 --> 00:50:48.960
Those same people that have heard us talk about it for years

1020
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:50.460
will now have a front row seat

1021
00:50:50.460 --> 00:50:53.460
to actually seeing the manifestation of it.

1022
00:50:53.460 --> 00:50:55.620
And they will know that you're a good God,

1023
00:50:55.620 --> 00:50:57.220
that you're a faithful God,

1024
00:50:57.220 --> 00:51:00.580
that you're not a God that promises and doesn't deliver.

1025
00:51:00.580 --> 00:51:01.900
They will see, and God,

1026
00:51:01.900 --> 00:51:05.860
it will cause them to have faith for their own promises,

1027
00:51:05.860 --> 00:51:07.100
will cause them to have hope.

1028
00:51:07.100 --> 00:51:10.380
It will cause even salvation in some cases

1029
00:51:10.380 --> 00:51:12.740
to come to them and to their households.

1030
00:51:12.740 --> 00:51:15.340
Ooh, who is this God and who have I trusted?

1031
00:51:15.340 --> 00:51:18.380
Who is this God and who I have trusted?

1032
00:51:18.380 --> 00:51:22.220
Yes, yes, yes.

1033
00:51:22.220 --> 00:51:24.780
My trust is safe in you, Lord.

1034
00:51:24.780 --> 00:51:27.820
You will do what you have promised.

1035
00:51:27.820 --> 00:51:30.620
Now help me to do what I need to do

1036
00:51:30.620 --> 00:51:33.100
to be able to sustain that promise.

1037
00:51:33.100 --> 00:51:35.560
In Jesus' name, amen.

1038
00:51:37.180 --> 00:51:38.740
Woo!

1039
00:51:38.740 --> 00:51:41.460
All right, we're about seven minutes early today, y'all,

1040
00:51:41.460 --> 00:51:42.660
but it's good.

1041
00:51:42.660 --> 00:51:44.920
And that'll give you some time maybe to get off this call

1042
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:48.420
and just sit quietly for a few more minutes

1043
00:51:48.420 --> 00:51:50.460
and just let God talk to you.

1044
00:51:50.460 --> 00:51:52.780
All right, I can't wait to hear those testimonies

1045
00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:53.860
and those breakthroughs.

1046
00:51:53.860 --> 00:51:56.580
Have a great Supernatural Saturday.

1047
00:51:56.580 --> 00:51:58.540
If you can come tomorrow and Sunday

1048
00:51:58.540 --> 00:52:01.580
for a little bit of breakthrough

1049
00:52:01.580 --> 00:52:05.300
in the area of you and your mom or you as a mom

1050
00:52:05.300 --> 00:52:07.940
or whatever, it doesn't matter.

1051
00:52:07.940 --> 00:52:09.820
Come because we'll be doing that tomorrow.

1052
00:52:09.820 --> 00:52:10.660
See you.
