Good morning, everyone. Happy Supernatural Saturday. Great to see everyone. Today is going
to be a great day, you all. I hope you came ready to share about what God has been saying to you
this last week. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're here for the first time ever.
Last Saturday, Jackie released a word and encouraged us in that word to every week
spend an hour just listening to God, not talking, not reading a Bible, but just asking God,
Lord, what do you want to say to me today? And just writing everything he hears you,
or you hear him say. So on that note, don't be overwhelmed by the hour. Jackie kind of came back
on and said, even if you have a half an hour, the point you all is spending time with God,
the Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, and asking them to speak to you directly,
and hearing the word, the fresh rhema for the day. Every day is a new day. So God has a new
word to speak to us every day. So I'm going to give you all an example. It's been a really busy
week for me. I kind of was like, Lord, I want to spend an hour with you, but I just don't even know
how to make that happen this week with my life and my schedule. So what I did is I just said,
every couple days, Lord, I have time right now to just sit and listen. Help me to hear what
your Spirit's saying to me today. And so I just want to encourage you wherever you're at in all
that, if you have a busy week, don't just check out and be like, nope, I can't do it at all.
You want to plug in any way that you can and hear. And you might also be someone that's saying,
well, I don't hear God like that. And my response to you is that maybe you don't yet, but that
doesn't mean he's not speaking. And so I want to encourage you just to continue to do your best,
even if you get one word that you hear God say, or one image that you see in your mind,
that is more than nothing, right? Okay. So just want to encourage you, just be where you're at
in the process. Let God use this time. I'm going to share a little bit of what God spoke to me
this morning. It's a fresh word that God spoke to me today. And then basically what we're going
to do today is we're going to open it up to you all. We're going to, as a community, share when you
did this exercise in this last week, what did God say to you? And we're just going to let God speak,
you know, to you as individuals, to the community through this, because here's the thing you all,
you're here for such a time as this. I'm here for such a time as this. Today, we're all here
for such a time as this, and nobody is going to be here on this exact moment, this exact day
ever again. And so everything that we share is for us as individuals, but here's the truth.
We can also receive a word that God gave someone else for us. If it blesses us, if it resonates
with your spirit, same thing that we do on prophetic nights. You all, it's not like you're
stealing someone's word. God is speaking in due season, right? He's speaking in due season. So
we're going to listen, we're going to lean in, and we're just going to say, everybody right now,
just where you are, you can raise your hands, you can just open your heart. If you feel closer to
God by putting your hand on your heart, do that. If you feel closer raising your hands, do that.
If it's closing your eyes, do whatever works for you. But right now, Father, just thank you.
Thank you that we are your children, and we are hungry for your voice. We're hungry for
your love, your heart, your understanding. We thank you that you love us, and you love talking
to us, and being in relationship with us. So this morning, we thank you that on this Supernatural
Saturday, that as we lean into what you've spoken to each one of us individually, that you would
help us to hear collectively what you're saying to us as a movement, as a community. We pray for
Jackie and David right now. They're on their way to Cartagena. There's been delays, there's been
weather issues. God, we just thank you for clearing the weather. We thank you for safety.
We thank you for the hearts, and the minds, the bodies, spirits, and souls that are going to be
impacted by the words released through them this weekend. And on this retreat, we just thank you
for freedom, and liberty, and the Holy Ghost today. In Jesus' name, amen. Okay, so I'm going
to go first, and then I'm just going to open it up. We're going to do like we, if you've never
been on a Faith Friday, we're going to do kind of short, brief, and powerful. People will just
popcorn, jump in, and share, and we're just going to follow Holy Spirit. We're just going to have
some fun today. All right, so this is what God said to me this morning. I said, Lord, what do
you want to say to me today? I heard him say, my blessing is on today. I am protecting all of you
this day. I have some things going on. We're doing a celebration, and I felt like I was really just
saying he's protecting that. Then he said, I am your sustenance.
I am the pellet of energy being put into your system
when you need it the most.
This level up that you've experienced is just the beginning.
Fun is in your future.
I, God, want to have more dates with you,
to enjoy spending time together,
but it's also time to come into the secret place again.
Intercession must begin.
You are a voice to be reckoned with,
but I am the voice to be reckoned with through you.
And then I saw a shovel and I heard the Lord say,
you're going to be digging new ground.
Then I heard taking territory, digging trenches.
And then I heard the Lord say, the trenches are vital.
The water flow is vital to it,
being the things that we're digging,
the territory that we're taking.
The trenches, the trenches, excuse me,
are vital because the water flow
is going to go through those,
and that's what's going to cause that to succeed.
And then I wrote,
I am sensing this is connected to the intercession,
but I need to pray about this more.
And then I heard the Lord say,
do something you haven't done before.
I, the Lord, am taking you to places
you've never been before.
Pack your bags and keep your bags packed.
Praise the Lord.
God is on the move.
Aslan is on the move.
God is speaking a fresh word.
I hope that encourages you today as well.
Who wants to go next?
Beth, next, all week long,
I feel like the Lord has been telling me to let it go,
let it go, let it go.
And it's interesting because it's not just one thing.
It's been a series of things that I feel like the Lord
is just saying, you've got to let that go
and let me protect you, let me guide you,
let me provide for you.
And I think it's such a valuable reminder to me
because in the world that we live in,
we feel like we have to control every part of our life,
every situation.
And it's really hard to just let go of certain things,
whether it's a relationship or a situation
or even something work-wise.
And so I have struggled with that all week,
but then this morning, I follow a woman
by the name of Ashley Morgan Jackson,
and this was her word, and it was so confirming to me.
And she said, God would be unloving to let you continue
to hold on to what he needs you to let go of.
Even good things can destroy us if they're not God's thing.
Sometimes he shows us who or what we are demanding
and he wants to save us by asking us to release it.
So that was such a confirmation to me
to just continue to put my trust and my faith in.
And I've actually just been repeating
when certain things come up,
I've actually just been repeating, let it go,
just let it go.
And so, yeah, that's where I'm at right now.
And I think it's been so freeing
because I think when we let go of things,
they actually free us up to move into positions,
into places that the Lord actually wants to guide us into.
That's awesome.
Keep on going, you all.
Who wants to go next?
Thank you so much, Sharon.
I will.
So as I shared yesterday,
I took my mom on her 82nd birthday to California.
Long story short, my boyfriend had gotten a new phone,
never sent me his number.
And I heard from the Holy Spirit.
So this morning when I woke up,
I just asked him for forgiveness and said,
God, please forgiving me for have doubt.
I would take it captive,
but then sometimes I would believe the lies.
I even looked in the obituaries
because I didn't hear from him for over a week.
But this morning he'd said,
I say to you, Monica, believe and never have doubt.
I love you.
Your faith is always seeking me.
And then he reminded me of a scripture, Luke 11, nine.
So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you.
Seek and you will find.
Know and it will happen.
It will be open to you.
And then he reminded me,
this was the scripture since I joined this community in 2020
that I would pray I would not,
and that I do have a boyfriend.
And I just thank him for all my blessings.
So good, so good.
Y'all just so you know, too, Mike made a good point.
I think I tried to say this,
maybe I didn't convey it well enough.
Everybody's gonna hear differently.
So your word doesn't have to sound.
or look or anything like mine or anyone else's,
you could have heard one word and that's enough.
Mine, I read it to you as I released a whole word,
but I heard phrases over a period of time
of about a half an hour this morning.
So as I read it, it sounded like it all came
as one word together, but I heard something
and then there would be silence.
Lord, is there anything else you wanna say to me today?
And then I would hear another phrase.
And so I just wanna encourage you,
everybody here is different.
You might see something, you might feel something,
you might hear in your spirit something.
Okay, so go ahead, Diana, if you're ready to go,
I'd love to have you share.
Good morning, family.
On Monday morning on my walk, I was walking with God
and he said very clearly to me,
pay attention to the red lights
and the green lights in your life.
Don't fight the red lights, go with the green lights.
And then he said, look at this as an adventure
because God knows my heart and he knows I walk in fear
and I don't need to.
Thanks, Bethany, for calling on me.
So I just wanna affirm that God speaks to us
in multiple ways.
God often speaks to me through songs.
And so I heard several things this week.
One was just a short phrase in the middle of anxiety,
all I heard was daily bread.
And then the Lord took me on a series of songs
to affirm that.
But I also had a concert,
which was one of my prophesy your year signs
and I don't normally cry,
but I just sat and cried the whole time.
And it was a secular concert,
but the Holy Spirit just ministered to me.
But the moment that the Lord,
I didn't have margin this week.
We didn't take margin this week to sit with him,
but there was moments where he interrupted me
and one of them was through a song.
And on Mother's Day,
there was just kind of a scary incident
with a man approaching my car.
It was very, very bizarre incident.
And in the moment there was a song
and that line was Jesus singing
and it was singing out of John 14 and also Ephesians.
And the line was,
"'Baby, you have no idea how safe you are.'"
So I just wanna affirm what Bethany said
with the Lord this week,
it hasn't been one hour long increment.
And even in the middle of me not sitting
and sitting still long enough that he's interrupted me
and been so kind to speak to me,
whether it's been music or still small voice,
one phrase reminding you of scripture.
Yes, I'm gonna piggyback off of what Elizabeth said.
I woke up this morning
and the first thing out of my mouth was breakthrough.
So God took me back to some words
that he gave me this week.
And after Thursday night,
when we did that thing with Jackie,
well, one of the things I wrote down
was start using my voice.
So I've got some things here that God has said to me
and I'm really feeling like he's saying to same,
it's gonna be quick.
He's saying, do hard things.
The things that I think are hard to do, do them.
They won't be as hard as you think they'll be.
Smoke and mirrors from the enemy.
Check the red flags.
Whenever you have a plan to do something
and you don't wanna do it and you get a hard thought,
just do that thing.
Push through and do it.
The red flags will turn to green and it won't be hard.
Now, when I say red flags,
I mean, I just get this anxiety, like I can't do this.
I just can't do this.
So that's what those red flags are.
As you take a step, I will be there
to move you forward even more.
Movement.
You've been moving your body
since the beginning of the year straight.
So do that for this next assignment.
So the thing that I got was just sitting and listening.
Just God told me to kneel beside my bed,
which I just rarely do.
And I've done it quite a lot in the past,
but lately haven't done it,
but I just felt like his reverence.
And he just spoke to me and said,
put the past behind you.
I feel your pain.
He spoke the words, reset, reboot, restore,
rest, realign, recalculate.
He said, the Holy Spirit is recalculating you
and be careful who you share with
because sometimes God's shares stuff with us.
And we just say it to anyone.
And God was just saying,
sometimes those things are just for you.
You don't have.
of to know everything I'm doing is something I try to do is figure out what God is doing
all the time.
And there's times when he's just saying, just trust me.
So that's what he spoke to me.
Pop it in you all.
I see a bunch of hands.
I'm not going to unmute every time and keep calling on people.
We need to just keep going.
Okay.
So, so there were a couple of things that Holy Spirit pressed on my heart at different
times this past week.
One of them was you don't learn to abide.
You learn when you abide.
You know, it's a choice to abide, but, but I learned when I'm abiding, it's not a matter
of learning to abide and that I can't hear God.
If I'm continuing to talk that I, I, I need to abide in his presence and hear him and
sit and be silent and listen to him.
So those, those were the two, two profound words that he really spoke to me this past
week.
I had some things happen just this morning, actually.
And Tuesday night as well.
But the thing Saturday that I talked about, my thing that I shared, I think it was Saturday,
anyway, about our goals that we have by the end of the year and the things that we did
And pertaining to that, one of my issues was, the main one was trying to lose weight.
And the way to do that was not to rely on myself, but to focus on God and pray more.
And I've been neglecting that for a long time, actually.
So this morning, I realized all these problems I've been having lately, different things.
God's been using that to show me that just to depend on him, not to try to figure things
out.
And I know he's allowing it.
He's not doing it.
Different issues to come up with my iPhone and finding things that I've lost.
And I get all anxious about stuff and it's like, you know, it's like, no, Tammy, that's
not the way to do it.
It's the same way as weight loss that I talked about with others on here the other day.
It's the same way.
It's all, you have to spend time with God and meditate on the word.
And so this morning I accidentally quote unquote, found this YouTube video that's like an instrumental
and it's like an hour and a half long.
It's on a violin playing.
It's so beautiful.
And after I started to listen to it for a while, I was playing a little video game in
the background and I said, tears coming out of my eyes, like for no logical reason.
I mean, God was just touching me just in that.
Thank God.
You know, so I feel better now, but I've got to continue to, to press in and do that and
not rely on myself to figure out what's wrong and figure out what I need to do and solve
my own problems.
I just realized how much I've been doing that for a long, gosh, a long time now, longer
than I thought.
And so God's getting me to, you know, so that I can move forward with him in my spiritual
growth and everything else in life, I need to do that.
And I've been putting it off for the longest, longest, longest time, so many years really.
And God's just getting me to the point where I'm realizing, wait a minute, this is an accident
that I'm having all these irritating problems and I can't imagine how to solve them right
now.
It's God's allowing that, you know, it's like pressing grapes to get the wine out, you know,
and that's getting me to do what it needs me to do.
So he's in control.
What God showed me this week, I wasn't hearing anything, you know, in the quiet, but what
he, what kind of came crashing into my life was why all of a sudden my eyes were opened
to the character of the men that I've recently been attached to over the past couple of years.
And I just kind of saw it for what it was and realized that that perpetuated a lie that
I believed about myself, that I'm not chosen, I'm always replaced.
And, you know, and God just said, I just want you to keep looking at the heart of people,
really see the heart of people.
I had a couple experiences this week where I'm going through a, like a minor health thing
right now that will all be okay and life will go back to normal.
But for right now, I kind of had to pull over so to speak and deal with that.
So there were some things that I could not go to this week.
And normally, because I'm an always on the go person, and, you know, would have fear of missing
out. I normally would have been so disappointed about that. But somehow, even if they weren't
things that at first didn't really matter too much to me, it was somehow like God tapped me
into them. It was like he shared his heart with me about them. And I was able to feel Oh, my gosh,
excited that these people are going on this trip and exciting that this is happening that that's
happening. And it's as if I was there, because I felt like the Lord was sharing his heart with me
for those places and for those events. So it's as if I got to experience being there or going
even though I'm not and it somehow felt so fill like full or filled up. So thank you, Jesus.
After the call on Saturday, or Thursday, I guess, I was, I had shared about God speaking to me about
moving to Texas. And so I got off the call, and I was just like, talking out loud to God. And I was
like, God, are we really going to do this? And what he has shown me how to kind of hear from him
is to go to scripture. And I have this book that is speaking God's Word and all of the it's kind of
divided into chapters and into sections. And so I heard the page 112. So I went to that and
the heading was hearing from God. And so I just felt like it was like all the scriptures, like
my sheep hear my voice and all the things that were confirming all the scriptures that
were confirming that I was really hearing from him. Wow. Mine, I'll just piggyback off this
because I love hearing that like testimony of confirmation and discernment and what I heard
from God this week in particular was related to discernment and discerning in community.
And I was reading in Song of Solomon. It was this verse, where has your beloved turned
that we may seek him with you? And it hit me really hard just that God was highlighting
some specific aspects of how people can help us in our discernment process.
That there's joy in searching for God together in situations when one person is like, where's God?
Because there's just a sense that he has like just that affirmation that distance doesn't mean that
the beloved has lost any interest or that the bride has done anything wrong. It's just
sometimes circumstantial and just the confirmation and affirmation that the union is coming and that
just to be oriented and rooted in that.
Today for myself is I was involved in seeking God in different healing. I was in healing rooms
all week. And when I was seeking the Lord, he wanted to let me know you are healed and you are
free. He told me that I have gone through my final deliverance. I have called and chosen you.
And I've been running from that call. And he told me too, I know Beth, you talked about
packing your bags and moving. And God's been telling me that for quite a few months.
And he kind of confirmed it. And he said for the latter half of this year, he was like,
you are going to pack your bags. Your housing is there. Your moving is there. You're going back to
what I called you to do. And for me, it was all about fear and dealing with my emotions.
And the Lord was just saying, trust me, trust me. You have to trust me, trust me in the process.
And so I have to trust him in the process. And in the process, I'm going to find his purpose
and his plan. And he's already prepared that for me. And I just have to, like Jackie said,
move forward, pick it up, get into motion, and it's all going to be there for you.
And so me, it's like, like I said, getting out of the fear, getting out of my what if,
should have, could have, what if this happens and just trusting the Lord a hundred percent,
because he is my father and he's going to provide for me. And all this week is like, this is what
I've been getting is just provision and abundance. And it's all going to be taken care of. And we
just have to trust everyone. We just have to trust him. There you go. Thank you.
Good morning. I want to share this week. One of the prayer leaders said, ask the Lord what he
wants you to work on this week. And I thought the Lord was going to say something like clean your,
clean, declutter your house or.
lose weight and he said contentment and that brought back a memory of being single i've been
really content not in my situation but in the lord and then i was reading proverbs 16 verse 20
yesterday and it says a man that trusts in the lord is happy so it just gave me back a remembrance
that i need to be content in the lord and that happiness comes from trusting god so i just wanted
to share that it really blessed me and i appreciate all the prayer leaders god bless you
this week um i've just been facing discouragement in um in being single with
just lots of discouragement and um woke up one morning with the words uh from a song
my god does not fail um it's a beautiful song i think it's by maverick city i think it's called
something like my story um if you've never heard it i would suggest it and so i just spent some
time meditating on that song i hadn't heard it for a while um and so um i just was reflecting on
life and how god often speaks to me um when i wake up with music and um so just have been
filled with gratitude and um not only thankful for the words he woke me up with this week but
how he continues to wake me up with song um and just was encouraged be encouraged
i'd like to also share regarding like the song i'm just piggyback off what people have said about
songs this week um this song um came on and it just really spoke to me the chorus it says
i'll take you at your word if you said it i'll believe it i've seen how good it works if you
start it you'll complete it i'll take you at your word and that just that line i'll take you at your
word just kept you know um it just spoke to my heart because i've i agree like with someone else
that said you know discouragement is real and um last night sometimes god just speaks to me it
points me to a verse and um isaiah 42 i went to the and this verse just stuck out to me at the
whole uh isaiah 42 um verse 9 behold the former things have come to pass and new things i now
declare before they spring forth i tell you of them um so just gave me very much like hope um
you know in a discouraging season um just that you know i've got to take god at his word that
he's he's working on my spirit mate and the process is the point and um yeah so i also want
to call on jessica i saw she was trying to speak and i feel like she's got something so i'm gonna

spotlight like a flashlight over me and like he's like i'm showing you off and unveiling you
so you're gonna have to get over yourself and um just like i just felt like it's a season of
unveiling and like breakthrough and just like
i'm really excited but nervous at the same time so it's just breaking out of fear
amen um god's been speaking to me a lot about um just building a home and
what that would look like just to be preparing for marriage and family and i have a dream to go
to tennessee like buy land buy real estate have a garden different things like that and um
god's just just speaking like what does it look like to start preparing now for a home so amen amen
so for me good morning everyone for me this week was really incredible where the lord brought me
to a scripture verse in psalm 37 verse 4 that says take delight in the lord or delight yourself
in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart
It's a scripture that I'm pretty familiar with.
And I always read the scripture or understood the scripture to mean that if I submerge myself
in the things of the Lord, or, or, as it says, the light, be happy to do the things of the
Lord, then he will then give me the desires of my heart.
And so I grew up in the church, I've always been serving in the church.
And I kind of thought that in doing that, my reward will be that he will give me the
desires of my heart.
And so when I feel like I am not getting the desires of my heart, then I started to wonder
if my desires were wrong, or is it that they weren't his desire?
And I was really questioning or trying to figure out things in my head.
And then he brought me to this scripture in the devotional, in Philippians 2.13, that
says, for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases
him.
And I was so amazed in seeing this, that he was answering me and saying that, I am working
in you and the desires that you have, I am giving you those desires.
Not only am I giving you the desires, but I'm giving you the power to do.
And when you do, it will please me, God, it will please God.
And so it, it blessed my heart so much because I felt that the Lord was speaking to me.
Well, I know that God himself was speaking to me and confirming the things I've heard
last week in starting this program with Jackie Baer.
She says, oh, God wants you to be married more than how you want to be married.
I'm like, really?
Like, I don't think so.
And God showed this to me this week in telling me that he gave me that desire and that desire
he gave me was to please him.
And so I'm so grateful to God.
I knew this was him just showing me in his word and confirming that he's with me, he's
working in me, and it pleases him to grant me the desires of my heart.
A theme kind of this week with our friend group was being a good receiver.
This has come up like numerous times from pretty much everyone in the group.
And then on the call on Monday, I have to listen on while I drive because I have softball.
And in the middle of the call, I was driving down the road and something just happened
to my vehicle.
So I was able to pull over and basically the control arm of my van completely busted in
half.
And so one of my friends was like, well, be thankful that you were driving slow in traffic
and not on the highway, because that could have been very, very bad.
So that like just protection and like where something like that happened.
And then I had a friend pick me up quickly from where it all happened.
And we still went to softball.
I had people driving me around all week, that sort of thing, just being able to accept
that. And then the next day after that happened, my daughter, so next week is my oldest
daughter's sixth anniversary of her death.
So this month is one of those kind of touchy months.
And so the old teacher.
They had someone had found in the classroom that my daughter had actually hidden a time
capsule that said don't open till 2021.
And so I got a hold of I got that yesterday and it was just one of the notes was like.
Actually, I have to read the picture because it was anyway, it was just it was kind of
like a little kiss from from God that it said, I'm 18 now and I'm doing good.
Please let Shauna, which is the teacher, know that you found this note.
Lots of love, Paige.
And so it was just it caught me because it's like she didn't make it to 18.
She was only 15 when she died.
But she is good at 18 in heaven because she's with Jesus.
So it's been a it's been an interesting week of practical lessons and practical little
things that have happened.
So.
Yeah, I feel like the Lord was showing me something this week about.
I was at the gym.
And, you know, I've been listening about to a lot of stuff,
a lot of content about this conflict in Israel and Gaza.
And I just, I'm one of those, I take it all in.
I try to understand all the angles.
I wanna know all the history, all the biblical history,
all the policy, everything.
And it's kind of crazy.
And I got this vision of a weapon rack
and it's like the Lord was showing me,
this sword is good for this kind of fighting.
This sword is good for this kind of fighting.
You know, there's like the long sword
for a certain kind of warfare.
There's a short sword for a one-on-one.
There's the rapier, you know,
like those French wobbly pointy swords,
like the musketeers have.
And he's saying like, you know, Jim,
the rationality is a good and powerful and effective weapon,
but you need, this is a battle you can't win
with rationality.
Rationality reason is powerful and effective sword
for certain situations, but not this one.
This one needs to be fought for in the spiritual realm.
And for those of you know, you know, yeah,
I'm in this level four now with Leah from community.
And we're so excited about that, right?
But I'm just been getting a lot of like,
this needs to be covered, you know, in prayer
and, you know, against attacks from the enemy
and safeguarded in that way.
And it has to be fought for in the spirit realm.
I'm going to jump in on that.
I didn't really want to talk today, but, you know,
I do a lot of intersession for a lot of people
and I have a lot of people in my life
that are going through a lot right now.
And I tried to adopt,
who would I would have adopted, I wasn't able to,
but she called me last night in a bad place.
And, you know, I have all this stuff.
My Jesus cares board got a lot to sort, sorry.
I don't know.
Last night I was like, Lord, I'm just tired.
And I think a lot of times he gives it to us
to pray and give to him.
And I think that's what I've been learning this week.
My work has been crazy.
Everything in my life has been hard.
And it's just, we're just supposed to give it to him.
We're supposed to do our part.
And he's like, you know,
I'm not going to give it to you.
And he's like, you know, and that,
and to not lose loving ourselves in it.
You know, too often I get caught up
in what everybody else is going through
and not looking at myself.
Right.
And, and he kind of, he didn't chastise me,
but he said, Hey, you know,
but like to James point, it's, it's a spiritual battle.
All these things I can't do anything.
All I can do is take it from first heaven,
bring it to the third heaven and give it to him
so he can take care of it.
And so, but you know, like,
and sometimes I hate my empathy, you know,
like, cause it's, I take on everybody's stuff,
but at the same time, it's like, he makes you that way.
But, and so I just, for anybody who's just feel like,
so every time you turn,
somebody who's going through something,
just take it from the first heaven,
give it to him in the third heaven and let it go.
And cause he can do much more than we can.
That's great.
Thank you for sharing that, Mike.
That was powerful.
I just wanted to share,
I did pencil in two separate time slots this week
to have my listen to Jesus time
and neither of those worked out.
And so finally yesterday I was on my morning walk
and I was like,
usually I'll put in a Christian podcast
or a sermon or something like that.
And it's just habit to put my headphones in.
I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to walk.
Let me just walk with Jesus today
and see if he has anything to say to me.
And I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm not hearing anything.
My thoughts are drifting to other things
and what the day holds and things I got to do.
And I'm like, God,
I'm really trying to connect with you here.
Like, I'm trying to listen.
Can you please speak to me?
Nothing, just nothing.
And then I'm walking
and it was just a really pretty orange sky
because the sun had not yet risen, but was about to rise.
And he gave me that picture and that was powerful.
So it was, if you think of the five senses,
it was for, he satisfied my sense of sight in that way.
And then the birds were chirping.
So beautiful bird song in the morning.
So it was the sense of hearing.
And I felt just the touch of the Lord and his company.
Like it wasn't anything supernatural or anything,
but I could just feel his nearness.
So that was a sense of touch.
And then I was like,
and then there was flowers
that people have planted in my neighborhood
and I could smell them as I walked by.
And it was a sense of smell.
And then I.
was like, okay.
And so then I came home and I started reading,
I'm in the book of Psalms at the moment.
And the Psalm that I had was Psalm 81 and verse 10
that says, open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
And the last verse, which I'm paraphrasing
cause I'm in the car, is the last verse in that chapter
of Psalm 81 talks about him satisfying us
with honey from the rock and with the finest of wheat.
And so that was the sense of taste.
And so it was all five senses
that he satisfied yesterday morning.
And here I was initially feeling frustrated
that I didn't get a word, I'm not hearing a phrase,
I'm not hearing anything, but he, it was God's gentle
but very deep and meaningful way of reminding me
that I care about you, deeply about you,
about all parts of you.
And so that was just a very moving experience for me
and I hope that encourages someone.
All right, you guys know how I am.
Man, I gotta jump in.
I gotta tell you something.
So Sujaya, I think that's how you say your name.
Y'all, just in general, everything everyone has shared
has been so powerful.
You guys are amazing.
I just hope you're amazing sons and daughters
and God is speaking in so many incredible ways
to every one of you uniquely.
Here's the thing.
I've heard that song before, honey in the rock.
I don't even know if that's what it's called,
but that's, but all week long, I just found myself singing
there's honey in the rock.
And I don't even know any of the other words,
but I just, that just, that melody just kept coming.
I'm not gonna sing for y'all,
but that just kept coming up in my spirit.
And literally to the point that even this morning,
I felt myself singing that melody.
And I kind of paused like, Lord, what's up with that song?
And now here's Sujaya.
I mean, I know it's scripture too,
but like here she is with the fulfillment
and the finalization, I feel like,
of what God has been trying to say to me.
That's why you all just never underestimate
what God is saying to you
and how it can impact someone else.
I could have maybe found that on my own
if I had continued with that,
but I am so excited that God used someone else
in our community to come and give the scripture
that is the final part of what he's saying to me.
You all, and he's saying it to all of you.
So I feel like that's why it's also highlighted.
If he satisfies us with the honey of the rock,
you all, the honey, if you think of it like the beehive,
it's like, it's so sweet.
It's so rich.
It's so good.
So we can taste and see that the Lord is good
and that his love endures forever, forever.
Here's the other thing.
She said, you know, wasn't that supernatural?
Y'all, I don't know.
I'm kind of of the mindset that I'm,
if his spirit is in me and he is all around me,
he's omnipresent, he's in front of me,
he's behind me, he's around me,
everything that I am experiencing is supernatural.
But I think in our minds, I get it.
You know, there's miracles.
There's all, we think there's levels of this.
Like this is more spiritual and supernatural
than this thing over here.
But I think you seeing the orange sky
and hearing the birds,
I think that's massively supernatural
because so many times we go through our whole day
and we don't connect to what's around us.
We don't pause and just hear the beauty of God's creation.
Some of us, that's just what we need.
That is what your soul needs.
Some of y'all need to just take your shoes off
and walk in the grass
and reconnect with what God's created
and that's gonna help you reconnect with what he's saying.
So that's a word for somebody, just take it.
I bless you.
There's one more thing I had a thought of
and then I'm gonna pass it back to you guys.
I wanna encourage you all.
So I tend to be pretty empathetic too.
So Mike, I can relate to you, brother.
But I've been learning a lot about
allowing God to kind of be my shield, if you will.
And really asking God to help me feel
like I still wanna feel that stuff
because that's who he made me to be.
But sometimes I'm like, Lord,
I just don't always wanna feel crushed
under the weight of it, right?
So I wanna encourage any of you all.
I'm not saying we won't still feel to that depth
because I do believe that's kind of an anointing
and a part of who we're made to be
because we do intercede for people.
But I wanna encourage you all.
I just said to my husband like three days ago
that I've felt a shift, even at.
I coach people in heartwork.
I hear horrendous stories, you all,
things you all have been through, things I know.
Like, it's like, it's like there's this force field now.
Like I feel it, but I don't feel it.
Does that make sense, everyone?
Okay, I'm gonna stop,
but I just wanted to give those words to you all
because I do believe in this,
where we're going in our society,
like we're gonna, there's gonna be so much happening.
We're gonna need that kind of understanding
of God is our force field.
He is our shield.
He is, he's all around us, you all.
He's all around us and we're in him.
And again, that's not to discourage anyone
that feels that way because I understand, okay?
Love you guys.
All right, who wants to go next?
Yes, Mike.
Who wants to go next?
Hi.
Hi, Becca, go ahead.
Hey, so this is kind of following up
to what we spoke about earlier this week
was I've been dealing with a scarcity mentality.
And so I did what you said
and I kind of went to go treat myself
to something that I haven't done,
which is like a Kindle Unlimited,
which is something I don't need.
I work at a library,
so I have access to free books all the time.
So I was gonna splurge and it was like,
oh, it's three months free.
So I was like, okay, Laura,
well, that may not be it,
or that's your way of showing me
that you're going to bless me no matter what,
that I don't need to worry
about the money showing up for things.
And then following night, I had a dream.
And the dream was of,
I was on a walk and we came across this vineyard
and where I'm at and where my family's from,
there's always been like lots of grapevines.
And in my dream,
these grapevines were like massive grapevines.
They were just ginormous.
We're talking like seven, eight foot tall grapevine.
And the grapes on them were like the size of golf balls.
And it was God's way, I think of saying,
look, your life is gonna be full of abundance.
I'm gonna bless you beyond your imagining.
So immediately I made sure to like write that dream down.
And I'm a very visual person,
which is I think why God speaks to me in dreams
most of the time,
because I don't always hear his voice.
But once I'm quiet and I'm asleep, he's like,
here, this is something I've been trying
to hit you over the head with,
but you've been too loud in your head to listen for it.
So he's been kind of working on that with me as well.
And so that was my sort of praise report for this week
and how God's been saying, just have faith.
I'm gonna provide, everything's okay.
I love that, Beulah.
The Lord speaks to me in dreams also,
and he's often very short.
So just confirming that, you know,
you don't necessarily get a long paragraph
or multiple phrases.
And so mine is just really three, two word statements.
The first one is slow down.
The second is say less.
And the third is choose peace.
One of the things I heard was take the limits off of me.
So a while back, I was asking God about promises
because I'd hear people say things like,
well, God's promises for you.
And one day I said, Lord, what are your promises?
You know, aside from what's in the word.
And those are all great,
but I didn't have like prophetic promises
or anything personally.
And I just like woke up in the middle of the night
and I heard him say, the desires that I put in you
and I heard him say, the desires that I put in your heart,
those are the promises.
And I was like, so like, they're cool, they're all right.
I can go, I can run with that.
So that was a while ago.
And then of course I joined this program.
I'm in phase five, I'm in phase two,
and I haven't gotten a date yet.
And I been very reluctant in all of this.
And it was really fun being in phase one
and just spending time with God.
And then when all of a sudden like the doors open,
okay, you can date and we've got dating sites
and here's all the advice and tips.
And I started to get a little bit like,
resistant and nervous about that and procrastinating.
And, but listening to my dating,
one-on-one and so on and so forth.
So I finally decided last week on Saturday to go for it.
And I said, well, which one?
So I did the free Facebook and I also decided to do Hinge.
So on Saturday, I did that.
And then on Saturday, I ended up started talking to somebody
just through messaging.
And, and it.
It's gone very light and nice this week,
but then I started getting nervous
and I was really just getting really praying
and getting boggled down.
And I'm getting ready to kind of cut and run
for no reason at all.
Just very uncomfortable in this.
I always said there's three things I hate shopping for,
cars, jeans, and men.
So it's like going on the site and shopping.
And I just, I'm trying to get past it.
And then the Lord just showed me yesterday.
He said, you know, sometimes, Dina, I give you things.
I just drop, you ask for them and I drop them in your lap
and that's a beautiful thing.
But I have reasons for you to be proactive.
I have reasons right now for you to work on this
and go forward.
Kind of like the saying of give a man a fish,
you fed him for the day, but teach him to fish
and you fed him for a lifetime.
I'm kind of doing a teaching thing here.
So I'm like, okay, all right,
I'm kind of getting the picture.
All right.
So I wake up, yes, this was yesterday.
And at the same time, I go to my email
and I like to follow Elijah List.
And there's certain teachers and authors
and prophetic type people I like to follow, just a few.
And this one man I really liked,
and he had an article or a message on prayer.
So I pulled it up and I'm reading it.
And right, I have to tell you what it said.
This is incredible.
This is me still getting ready
to just stop talking to this man.
And for no reason, he's just very sweet and very kind.
And yet I'm like, so I'm reading this article on prayer
and he says, this is the word of the Lord for you.
And this is what I'm reading in the article.
It says, there are many prophetic promises
that are hanging on a hinge.
So I'm thinking, are you kidding?
What are the odds that you'd use that word, hinge?
Because I was getting ready to get out.
And this was just God's confirmation.
He's given me little breadcrumbs and I'm just following
and it's keeping me on the path.
And after I read that, I just got such peace.
I said, okay.
And then I picked up the conversation
because I dropped it for like a day with this man
and picked it up and he was just so sweet to be light
and message back.
So I just love how the Lord can give you
these little things along the way.
And also just that I love when he said,
the desires in your heart are my promises.
So you don't have to question them.
So I just love that.
Yes, that's so good.
That's so good.
So keep in mind everyone, when you hear that word,
that's one, in my opinion, you wanna hear from the Lord
specifically for yourself.
Because sometimes some of us have desires in our hearts
that aren't good for us, okay?
So that one to me is a word that you can really ask the Lord,
is that your word for me as well?
But be careful to just latch onto that
if you are trying to pursue a desire in your heart
that's not good for you, okay?
Just felt led to kind of jump in here.
So we have seven minutes left.
I see Janet, Gina, Nitin and Dina,
what you shared was great.
So I don't want you to feel any correction towards you,
but I just wanna like make sure everyone
knows what to do with that word, okay?
All right, awesome.
So Janet, Gina, Nitin, let's hear from you all.
Who wants to go first?
I'll go first.
So I never have a problem hearing God.
So last Saturday after hearing Jackie,
I just sat down in the quiet time with the Lord.
And I said, like, cook Lord, I had a couple of areas
and I was looking about the spirit made stuff.
And he said, delight in me
and I'll give you the desires of your heart.
And I was like a little frustrated with the Lord.
I'm like, okay, Lord, you want me to have faith.
You want me to, which I do.
You want me to be patient, rest in you, which I do.
He said, give it to me.
I said, Lord, I've just let it go.
I'm not really doing anything.
And then he said, and I was a little frustrated.
Like, you know what God,
it's not always about doing, doing, doing, I'm exhausted.
I just want to rest, right?
So I just, and then I had just had in my spirit
this question, like, I don't know how to delight in the Lord
and I'm like, this is just causing me a little frustration.
So I said, I was not sure whether that word
was from the Lord.
So I just left it.
And this morning, one of the ladies just mentioned
that word delight in the Lord
and he'll give you the desires of your heart.
And she was saying that as she understood the meaning
that it was about being in the Lord, right?
And she had questioned the desires that God had given her
and God had affirmed her that those desires were from him.
And that answered my question.
question. And I was like, I was free, because I am exactly in
his will, doing what he wants me to do is given me the desire and
the desires he has planted in my heart are from him. So all in
all, I just think that lady who just shared that I want to bless
her and I want to thank her, because the frustration I was
having was really from a lack of understanding. Right. And when
she shared her what her testimony, I would say what law
told her freed me up. And I'm like, okay, I'm where I need to
be. And I'm enjoying I'm having fun, and it is going to come. So
thank you for doing that.
Praise the Lord.
Yes, yes. So good. Gina, are you ready to go? Do you want to
share?
Yeah.
Yeah. So actually, I hadn't really planned on sharing
anything. But as I've been listening, I'm not even sure how
this is related. But the Lord brought up a couple of visions
and dreams that he's given to me in the in the past. One of them
was a dream. And again, this sounds kind of weird. But in my
dream, there were a bunch of dead goats, someone had killed
goats, they were laying all over the front yard, the side
yard in the backyard. And then a man came to my door, carrying a
shotgun. And he just said, I killed them all. They're all
dead. And it sounds like kind of a creepy dream. But if you think
about what the Bible talks about the difference between goats and
sheep's goat represents sin. So for me, that was pretty personal
because he was it was like the Lord was telling me I've already
taken care of it. Not only have I taken care of your past sin,
I've taken care of anything you may be in the middle of right
now. And I'm taking I've taken care of it in the future. So I
feel like he wants somebody to understand that he's taking care
of it, that you don't have to worry about it anymore, that you
don't have to. There's no, there's no guilt, there's no
condemnation that you can lay it down because he already took
care of it. And the next one I had was a vision. And again, it
was very similar, sort of, I have a call to pray for our
country. And a couple years ago, during Christmas, I belong to
this prophetic group, and somebody was playing the little
drummer boy. And I had this vision of a human heart in my
hand. And the heart was beating. And as I was watching this heart
be in my hand, I saw that, you know, the old the old Chevrolet
commercial where it says that Chevrolet is the heartbeat of
America, right? Well, I felt led to go look up what Chevrolet
meant. And the very beginning of that word, the root word is is
goat in French. So, so the Lord said to me, No, I'm the
heartbeat of America. Like the goat is not the heartbeat of
the mirror of America. I'm the heartbeat of America. But I
really felt led to share that today that, again, God is the
heartbeat, right? So nothing that you have done in the past,
nothing that you will ever do in the future can separate you from
him because he is the very heartbeat of who you are. So
that's, that's all I got. I just felt led to share that.
Hey, um, the word that I have heard this week, and I'm still
hearing from the Lord is breakthrough. And I didn't
realize I had so much to break through from. And hearing
everybody and Bethany, you have helped a lot and just being on
this call. And speaking out, this is my first time to speak
out, it gives me anxiety and fear. And that's one thing that
I need to break through, because I'm a runner. And I tend to run
from the hard things. And so just breaking through and talking
to this community is, well, actually, I just want to break
down and cry right now because it's, it's hard for me. And so
anyway, so that's what I'm hearing from the Lord. And I'm
Anyway, so that's what I'm hearing from the Lord. And I
know that I'm going to get freedom from some of these, it's
going to take time. I knew that he was speaking to me when just
a minute ago, when you're talking about the honey in the
rock, because I was hearing that same phrase all week long. And
I'm like
what is the honey in this, in the rock?
What in the world is it talking about?
And so anyway, to hear everybody talk
about the honey in the rock,
it's just blessings, blessings on blessings
in this community.
I'm just, I'm feeling loved from God and from others.
And I'm feeling that freedom is coming.
So, you know, thank y'all for all of that.
Can we get an amen, freedom is coming.
Amen.
You all, man, I love this.
She was hearing honey in the rock too.
I think, man, we should all kind of just lean
into that word this week.
I just, I would love to see as we lean into that,
I mean, all the other words too.
But again, this theme kind of came out today.
There's honey in the rock.
Y'all think about this.
We were encouraged to spend time
just listening to the Lord.
Y'all, he's the rock of ages.
Hallelujah.
He's the rock of ages.
Jesus is the rock, the honey, the sweetness,
the fragrance of heaven is in him.
That's what's coming up in my spirit right now.
Now, I haven't studied it.
I need to, but that's what's coming up
in my spirit right now.
So I wanna leave you all with that.
We don't have time for any more.
I'm so sorry.
We've got to jump off,
but I wanna pray as we do over voices.
Y'all, so many of you used your voices today.
Janet, praise God, you shared for the first time today.
Hallelujah.
I encourage you to keep doing that.
Your voice will get stronger.
Your courage will grow.
I remember the first time I ever prayed out loud,
I was terrified.
Y'all, stuff changes.
Father, thank you right now for all these voices
of your sons, your daughters, your children,
your beloved, your beloved children.
Thank you, Father, for increasing our courage,
for giving us faith to know that when we hear you,
when we come alone and spend time with you,
God, that you are speaking to us.
Help us to tune into your frequency, Lord.
When we struggle to hear you,
help us to get out in creation and connect in creation.
And that can even open up our ability to hear and connect.
So Lord, help us to not be hard on ourselves
or not be down or shame ourselves.
Shame and guilt and condemnation are from the enemy.
We don't receive that in Jesus' name.
I thank you that our voices are growing.
We are growing.
We are healing.
We're being transformed from the inside out
that all old things are being made new,
that our latter years are going to be greater
than our former years.
And you are just beginning.
You are just beginning.
Freedom is on the way.
Your Holy Spirit is what brings liberty and freedom.
So Lord, we just declare freedom,
and we thank you, God, for that.
We thank you, God, for the bells ringing all over the world.
We thank you, God,
for using Jackie and David to bring liberation to captives
while they're in Columbia.
We thank you for your hydro protection around them.
We thank you, God, for mighty works that you're doing
and you will do in the days to come.
In Jesus' name, amen.
We love you guys.
Come Sunday night.
Sunday night, we're gonna do an activation
on the goal setting stuff.
I know people were kind of thought
we were doing that today,
but Sunday night activation,
some of you all can have that space
to share what God was saying to you about the goal stuff.
So if you don't know what I'm talking about,
catch the replay from the PATH session on Thursday night.
Replays are up for, I'm sorry,
phase one won't have that
because y'all are focused on heart work.
So you guys just got to stay focused there.
But for phase two, phase three and men's,
you'll have that replay, okay?
All right, God bless you.
See you all later.
Have an amazing day.
