Good morning. Welcome to Supernatural Saturday, you all. We are just going to get it kicked
off this morning. Jackie's going to do her best to join us here in just a little bit.
She's trying to get through TSA, so prayers for them as they hopefully get through that
quickly. Welcome, if you are joining us for your first Supernatural Saturday. This is
a time where Jackie typically brings a word that God is speaking to her in season for
this movement. So again, hopefully she'll be able to join us. If not, you all, we're
going to trust Holy Spirit and He can show us what to bring in prayer for the movement
as well. So on that note, just a couple announcements as we get started this morning. For those
of you that are in Phase 2, Phase 3, or the men's groups, if you have not already heard,
we have SpiritMatch intake forms up in the app under your resources tab. This is not
a dating app, you all, okay? This is totally different. I know people have been kind of
confused about that. This is a service that we are providing for those that are a part
of our membership community, and you're going to fill out an intake form, and then Jackie
in the beginning, it'll be Jackie only that sees what's on the back end that you fill
out, and she will use that for matchmaking purposes. Some of those will be, you know,
just matching people. Some of that's going to be curated events like speed dating and
actually putting people together. Some will be bigger events. There's going to be all
kinds of stuff we're going to do. We will release additional information about what
we can utilize that platform for later on, but that's the Phase 1. You fill out the form,
and then from there, we can start to work on matchmaking and fun things. You all, here's
the key. If you don't fill out the forms, it's going to delay us from being able to
do curated events, so men and women alike, we need you to go in and fill out this form
if you want to be a part of that. If you're already in a Level 3 relationship and you're
loving it, we would just ask you to not fill out the form at this time because we don't
want to try to matchmake you if you're already in a great relationship, okay? And then also,
just remember, if you have questions about how to do this, where to find it, go ahead
and put that in the comments of the posts that are already in your groups, okay? So
please don't email us about that, and then also, if you didn't know, we also launched
our last year's Single Affiliate Program. Y'all, this is just a way for us to be able
to give back to all of you who already, some of you already share a lot about this community
and we're super grateful. We have found that people that really embrace this program and
the healing process tend to be those that have come here because someone else invited
them and shared with them about what God has done in their life here. So yes, we want people
to come anyway, whether that's ads or whatever, but we have just found that the people that
are really leaning into the process and embracing it are the people that come from word of mouth,
so this is a way that we can give back to you. An affiliate program doesn't mean that
you're going to be required to advertise or market in any certain way. It's however you
want to share it. So you get your own personal link that you can share with someone one-on-one.
If you want to post it on your social media, you can do that too. Y'all get to decide however
you want to share it, okay? If you want to share it with one person and never again,
great. So get it? Everyone on the same page? All right, awesome. And so we're excited about this
and the resources tab, sorry, I'm just trying to remember what all I need to tell you all.
The resources tab is where you're going to find that affiliate program link as well in the apps.
Now the affiliate program is available to the whole community, so that's phase one, phase two,
phase three, and men's, okay? Awesome. So for those of you that are in phase one, please do not try to find
the spirit mate match intake form. You all are pressing pause on dating. Please don't ask about
spirit mate match and dating and being in these speed, like speed dating. When you're in phase one,
if you're posting in the phase one groups about that, we're going to loving, this isn't like, we're
not trying to be mean, but we're going to delete those posts because in phase one, you're supposed
to just really lean into heart healing. And we don't want you to rush that process. So don't try
to speed through phase one, just to try to get to phase two to fill that form out. Because here's
the thing y'all, there's not scarcity mentalities that we want to live into, right? So lean into
your healing process. It will benefit you later on. Okay, awesome. So on that note, we're going to go
ahead and kick off starting to pray first for this movement. I'll pray first. And then I would
love for y'all to jump in and just share anything that God's putting on your heart to pray.
into and over the movement.
And again, hopefully Jackie will be able to join us
as soon as she gets through TSA,
if you're just joining us now.
So we're gonna pray for the movement
and see where God leads us today.
Father, thank you so much for your goodness, God.
Thank you for the reminder that you are supernatural, God.
That yes, we come to hear a word through Jackie
and other people at times,
but God, you are the one that brings the truth and the life.
You are the light and in you, there is no darkness.
So Lord, I thank you God for revelation and enlightenment
that you're gonna give us today.
I thank you that you would give us the ability
to hear a fresh word in due season.
I thank you God that over this movement,
I just declare that we will be a people
that would not become weary in well-doing.
For in due season, we will reap if we don't faint.
And I thank you God that we would not just be here
for a moment, God, to get just one thing that we need,
but we would become a part of a movement
that is a part of your kingdom advancing
and marriages and families, God,
that we would be a light, a city set on a hill
that could not be put under a lampshade,
God, that we would desire to grow closer to you
in relationship and out of that overflow,
out of being rooted and grounded in your love,
God, that we would be able to find
for those that are still looking to find their spirit mates
and God for their spirit mates to find them.
Lord, I thank you that you would help us to see
in the spirit realm what you're doing
for our individual lives, as well as the movement, God,
that we would also take ownership to pray
and intercede, God, for your kingdom to come in
and through this movement, through Jackie and David,
through alliances and partnerships,
strategic opportunities opening up to us, Lord.
We just thank you in advance for everything
that you've already done, for giving us the ability
to launch these two new programs, God,
we pray even over the technology.
Lord, our app right now, we've done so much work,
but Lord, there's only so much we can do.
So Lord, I pray that you would just really give
our developer insight and wisdom
and how to continue to enhance
what we've already invested in, Lord, God,
that it would be a platform that would be a blessing.
And I just thank you, God, for patience in our hearts
as we continue to seek you
and try to come together in community.
We thank you, God, that you would bless interactions
within our community, that you would grow friendships,
that you would grow healthy relationships and connections.
And we just thank you, God, for Jackie and David,
for their, yes, we thank you, God,
for filling their buckets and their cups to overflowing
during this time of vacation and respite.
God, we thank you that you would give them sailor rest,
even as they continue in this last week of their vacation,
God, that you would help them to continue
to see your glory in them and all around them.
In Jesus name.
Is there anyone else that feels led
or has anything God's putting on your heart
to pray for the movement this morning?
Yes.
Dear sweet Jesus, thanks for laying this scripture
on my heart today.
It reminds me so much of this community.
Proverbs 27, 17, as iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
Thank you, Lord, for Jackie's yes,
that she has sharpened so many people.
I thank you, Lord.
Amen.
Lord Jesus, I just thank you that you're amazing
and that you love us and that you're good.
And I just pray, Lord,
that you would make the pathway straight to spirit mates.
But Lord, like Bethany prayed,
but it's not that just people would get married,
but that this would be a marriage movement
and a kingdom kiddos movement.
And Lord, I just pray for all of the ladies
that want to have kids that you would bring,
that you would accelerate and make the path straight
so they can have families, Lord,
and they can have the fullness in their heart's desire.
Lord, I just pray that Proverbs 3, 5, and 6,
trust in the Lord, lean on our understanding
and knowledge of you in all our ways,
and that you would just direct everyone in the paths
of both individuals,
like people here in the spirit mates to come.
Lord, I just pray for the affiliate program
to bring an influx that people would be compelled
to jump in.
And they come in and they, Lord,
but yeah, and I keep praying this,
and this is the desire in my heart
that this wouldn't be a single movement much longer,
but that it would be a marriage movement
and it would change the world.
And Lord, I just pray for Jackie and David
that they would come back fully recharged,
reloaded, and ready to launch.
to all that they have.
And I just pray for protection.
And I just pray for hope, Lord, that hope would
arise in every person here, hope in every aspect of their lives,
Lord, that you would break anything off
that is holding them back from becoming all
that they're supposed to be, walking into their fullness.
And Lord, even in the waiting, would you
accelerate the healing and accelerate everything
that is happening so that when the marriage comes,
it would be the best possible thing.
We just love you, Jesus.
And we thank you that your love surrounds us as a shield.
And Lord, I follow on to what Bethany
was talking about with shifts in growth in this program, Lord.
And I thank you that you are accelerating even ideas
and growth and opportunity and ways
to further this marriage and family movement, Lord.
But my mind keeps going back to this notion
that you are a God of order.
And so Lord, we just come against any plot
of the enemy that might confuse or might
harry systems or ways of connecting and moving it
forward, Father.
I just pray that your order would rule and reign
among leadership, among staff, among any volunteers that
are participating, and even among participants.
Lord, that any questions or any potential chaos with change
and how to access different opportunities, Lord, Father,
that your order would break through,
that you would make it clear to each and every one of us
how to access these tools, the gift of these tools
that Jackie and David and their staff
are putting together for us to be
able to move forward into the callings of marriage and family
on our lives.
Lord, I pray that that order would apply to the new app.
I pray that that order would apply
to any electronic or IT-based systems that are in place.
I pray that the order would apply to things
like the international and travel components,
to this new spirit-matching component, Lord.
Yeah, Father, I just speak and prophesy your order over this,
and that in that order, Lord, you
are ordering our steps to move forward
and to just break through and accelerate in marriage
and family across the globe.
Father, I just want to thank you for this day.
This is the day that you have made, Lord,
and you said that we would rejoice.
We should rejoice and be glad in it.
Father, I just pray for this movement this day,
that you scatter the enemies with your mighty arm,
as said in Psalm 89.10.
Lord God, I agree with the prayers
that have been prayed so far.
Oh, God, that your hand is strong in conquering
what the enemy's schemes are planning.
Oh, God, and I just ask you, Father God,
that you would this day cover Jackie and David
in your precious blood, even Bethany, all the workers,
all the administrators, Father God,
and all the new launchings, Father,
cover each and every aspect of this ministry
in your precious blood.
And we do rebuke the enemy from every wicked scheme
that should come against the progress of this ministry,
because you said, Lord,
without faith it's impossible to please you.
So as they launch out in faith, doing that which is new,
Father God, you are blessing the faith of David and Jackie
and all the ones that are behind them.
So, Father God, I just ask you to bless these launchings,
these acts of faith as they go into the secret closet.
Lord, just bless them.
Let us never forget to have that still time with you
in this movement, Lord God,
that we put you first, to seek your kingdom first,
and all these things will be added.
So, God, thank you for what you have done.
We don't take it for granted, that which you have done.
And, Lord, we just ask you to continue to bless
that which is being done and that which will be done.
Let it be on that straight path, according to your word.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
If anyone else feels led to pray here in a minute, I'm going to come right to you here
in a second.
But I want to jump in and share as Mary was just praying towards the end, I heard the
Holy Spirit say, tell them there are no sidelines.
Tell them there are no sidelines.
Y'all, when we're, you know, you go watch a football game, sometimes there's some team
members on the sidelines, right?
Because not everybody can get into the game, because there's only so many people that can
be on the field.
Same thing for soccer or any kind of baseball, any sport.
But God is saying over this movement today that there are no sidelines.
Okay?
There's no, there's, there's can't be enough people on the field.
We can all become a part.
We can all take ownership.
We can all, you know, pray and intercede no matter what phase we're in.
You not only said yes to transformation and healing, but you said yes to something greater.
And so, Lord, I just thank you that you would help us to see the greater.
Help us to see the greater vision of your heart, God, because ultimately I believe this
is your heart beating for your people, that this is a mountain that you want your children
to help us to advance kingdom, family, and marriages, that you want us to fight and intercede
for kids that right now the enemy is rising people up all over the world to try to shoot
and destroy and tear them down.
So Lord, we thank you for your hedge of protection around us, our families, our communities.
And we say, devil, you cannot have them.
You cannot have our marriages.
You cannot have our families.
You cannot have our children.
You cannot have our children that are yet to come.
And we stand in the gap for them this morning.
We say that you, God, you are the one, the creator of heaven and earth, and nothing is
too hard for you.
Help us, Lord, to humble ourselves under your mighty hand, to be a people that would truly
honor the call to humble ourselves in prayer, to desire to hear your voice and convey that,
to declare that boldly over our own lives as well as those that we haven't even met
yet, that we would also, Lord, pray for our spirit mates, that we would intercede for
the one that we are asking you to bring us.
So Lord, help us to choose to take part in the game, to help us to get off the sidelines
and to trust that you are working, even when we can't see it, God, that you are working.
You're aligning all things together for good, for those that love you and live according
to your purposes.
And that is me.
That is you.
That is all of us.
That doesn't just apply to someone else.
It applies to each one of us in Jesus' name, amen.
Let's get off the sidelines, you all.
And I don't say that to shame anyone, but it's true, like, we have to choose to participate.
And again, it's not about just being here for a moment.
And again, some people, that's what God leads them to do, and that's okay.
But if you're willing, if you're willing to catch the greater vision and take the baton
and run with it alongside of your other brothers and sisters in this community, I believe God
has something so much greater.
And even Melissa, when she was praying, like, there's something bigger that God is doing
here.
He's transforming lives and rippling things for healing for generations behind us, y'all.
Things that God has created and done in me since I've been a part of this movement, it's
going to impact my children and my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren for generations
to come.
We are kinsmen redeemers, right?
If we believe.
Who else wants to pray?
Is there anything else coming up in your spirit that you want to pray over the movement?
Maybe it's something God's just saying to you, just like I released that just now.
Yes.
So God gave me a word this past week.
You can't trip over your past if you're moving forward.
So God, I want to pray Philippians 3, 13 to 14 over this community.
But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press
onward toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ
Jesus.
So God, I thank you, Father, for hard work.
I thank you, God, that you reveal trauma from the past, God, that we need healing from,
and how you want us to move forward and walk in the God-given identity that you have given
us, Father.
Help us to answer to that identity, not to the lies of the enemy, who the enemy is trying
to say who we are, God, but to recognize your call.
to walk in confidence, Father, in who you say we are, and to continue to strive forward,
Father, focusing on you, focusing on that prize, God, and that prize, Father, is you, God,
and it's telling others about you. And God, help us as we're being bold and sharing with others
about this community, Father, and that it's more than just finding, and I don't mean just
finding the spirit, that's cherry on the top, God, but it's about feeling, it's about community,
God, it's about bringing you glory, Father, and walking in the way that you want us to walk in.
So, God, I thank you for freedom, I thank you, God, for chains being broken supernaturally,
and things that we've been tied to in the past, and even things that have recently
might have been spoken over, God, you want us to walk tall, tall, I'm saying that just,
gosh, my back just straightened up, walking tall and confidently, Father, in who you say we are.
I'm even picturing right now, God, like the king and the prince, when they put their crowns on,
they're walking tall and representing whatever dominion or whatever they have given authority
over, and God, you have crowned us, we are your heirs, Father, and let us walk confidently, God,
knowing that you have called us to lead others to you, God, and to move forward and to stand
strong and confident in who you created us to be, in the name of Jesus, amen.
Amen. Father, we thank you for this program, thank you, God, for the lives of Jackie and her husband,
David, thank you, God, for giving them new ideas and new ways on how to help your people, Father,
thank you, God, for all the heart wounds that you have healed, thank you, God, for those who are
still doing their hard work, Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that you will totally heal them
of every trauma, of every heart wound they might have, in the name of Jesus, so they may totally
and fully embrace the good gift that is on their way, we pray in the name of Jesus.
Father, we also want to pray for, that our hearts will be ready, our minds will be ready to receive
that which you have prepared for us, in the mighty name of Jesus, and also going back to Bethany's
prayer, that we, that, sorry, I can't, I can't remember what the prayer point was, but Lord, we just
pray, almighty King of glory, that even as we ask you, Father, that you grant us our spirit mate,
Father, we pray, oh God, that we shall be specific as to what we want, as to the, the, the, the, the
fruits and the qualities that we want in our spirit mate, that as you grant us our heart desires,
Father, we shall be happy, we shall rejoice in what you have done, and in what you shall do in our
lives, in Jesus mighty name we pray, amen. Amen, I made it, hi everyone, hello, happy Saturday,
happy Supernatural Saturday, I was hoping that I was going to make it, because I have just such a
word burning in my heart, and I am at the airport in Bologna, Bologna, like bologna y'all, that's just,
yeah, that's expelled exactly the same way, okay, and boy, was it crazy to get here, and I just want
to let you guys know that while I did enjoy my vacation with my family, I don't want you to get
the wrong impression or idea, this word has been bubbling in my spirit, because there were high
moments of this time together, beautiful views, and seeing, you know, distant lands, and ancient ruins,
and just spending time with family that we don't see a lot, my brother, my, my husband's brother,
in-law, and sister, and my in-laws, who are in, you know, 80s now, and so, you know, who knows how many
more kind of vacations like this we'll be able to take, and my adult children that are married, like
all of them together, you know, so, so all the good, right, but along with the good, there's been a lot
of hardness, a lot of hardness, you guys, traveling in Europe is no joke, okay, and I knew this from
last year, but I just want to let you guys know that, you know, Europe is not like America, it's not
made for ease, the roads are not paved, okay, and, and the Lord started talking to me about the road
to destiny is not a paved road, I'm gonna start crying here in the airport, all right, it's not,
okay, it's not a super highway, in fact, the Bible says that the road to destruction is the road that's
wide and paved, but the road that he has us on is narrow, and it gets narrower, you guys,
it does, it gets even more narrow, and so my question to you is, is that, are you gonna give up,
or are you gonna get up?
The Airbnb that I just came from, it had six flights of old stone stairs, no elevator, y'all,
and my husband and I, we drug all of our kids' suitcases up there, because they went on to a
different city.
like 14 suitcases up six flights of stairs, David and I, and that's after lugging them to the Airbnb
because it's in the middle of the city center. And the taxis aren't allowed to go there, only
pedestrians. And so of course, we don't know any of this, we don't have this information.
And so now we're lugging them, you know, you know, I don't know, probably two thirds to a
quarter, less than a quarter, about an eighth of a mile from where the taxi had to drop us off.
14 suitcases, 14 suitcases. And then up six flights of steps, just me and David, you know,
we did, we just did it in stages. Okay, like, okay, I'll stay in here with them. And then you
take two to the next space, you take two to the next place. And you know, now you take two, and
now I'll take two. And now we'll take two up these stairs. Now we'll do this flight. Now we'll do
that flight. We worked together, we worked as a team. And this is what your partnership with
your partner is going to look like someday. Maybe not lugging suitcases up, you know, an old building
in Bologna, Bologna, Italy that doesn't have air conditioning, or a lift. But you guys,
this is what Europe looks like. I know a lot of people, they see the highlight reels on my
Instagram, like, Oh, I wish I could go do you wish? Because there were a lot of good views,
but there were a lot of hard times. There were a lot of hard times. First of all, I will tell you
European people, they were not taught American politeness, some of the rudest people you will
ever meet in your entire life. Okay, the line doesn't start anywhere. Okay, meaning that you
just got to push through and get in line. And if you're not that kind of person, then you're going
to get trampled, you're going to get stomped on. Okay, that's what it looked like to be on this
trip. The cruise ship because it cruised out of Italy and not out of America was mostly foreign
people. And once again, they are not taught the niceness and politeness of Americans. So they're
not like, Oh, no, you first. No. All right. They literally will push you down to get in line for a
biscuit. And that is the way it is anyone of any age. This is the way this this this trip was. And
so you had to get to a place where you were assertive, maybe not aggressive. And I would
love to tell you that sometimes my justice gift didn't get overextended. Yeah, a little
overextended a couple times. Hopefully for the right reasons where you know, they were about to
run my mother in law who's 80 years old over trying to get off the train, because everyone's
on their own agenda, and nobody cares. And so these are the other things that don't make it to
the highlight reels. Are you looking at other people's highlight reels on their Instagram,
you looking at their boyfriends or girlfriends, their fiance's looking at the highlight reels
from their wedding? You don't know. I have a front row seat to all kinds of love stories. And I'm
telling you, the the road to true love is not paved, not a paved road. Especially not nowadays,
not in the year 2024. People go through so much stuff to get to where you finally see the picture
on Instagram. It's important that you understand this. And if you're the kind of person that's
going to give up as soon as the going gets hard, then you don't have any business in this lane.
You don't have any business in this lane. You got to go over somewhere else and let God strengthen
you and allow him to give you perseverance and allow him to give you the attitude that it doesn't
have to be easy. It just has to be worth it. I don't know where we got this attitude or this
idea that if God if it's God, if it's God's will, if it's God's plan, then it's going to be easy.
It's going to be that paved superhighway because it's just not true. It's not biblical at all.
Have we read our Bibles? Did you see anyone in there that had a paved superhighway
to their destiny? No. And I know that it's exhausting when you're wanting and wishing
and some of you still waiting because you ain't got out of that waiting room yet
for these things that you want and not just the spirit mates. I will tell you that it's the process
that is giving you the perseverance that is going to be able to deal with partnership and marriage
in the era that we live in. I'm going to tell you something. I'm not throwing these people
under the bus, but we've had probably six or seven divorces in our community already in just four
years. Six and seven of those hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
of success stories have already called it quits. And some of them called it quits just in the first
year of marriage. And they called it quits without, in my opinion, and like I said,
I'm not being judgmental, but I know what it takes. I was married for 13 years.
The first time around. And I wanted to get divorced every year. It was that bad you guys,
but I didn't. I didn't for a lot of different reasons. One of them was religion. One of them
was that religious voice that was coming at me through people and through my own mindset saying,
Oh, Hey, Hey, you're not allowed to get divorced. Getting divorced is the unpardonable sin. You
can't do it. You can't do it. Can't do it. But the other voice that was still present there was God,
like, you know, Hey, let's not give up yet.
that. Let's not give up yet. Okay, let's try. Let's try something different. Let's
humble ourselves. Let's do some hard work, you know. And I will tell you, the last year
of my marriage, the 12th year, is when I felt a release from the Lord. I felt a release.
I had a release, y'all. It wasn't a divorce. It was a rescue mission. I had a release.
God's like, look, you know, you can't stay here. You can't stay here anymore. Things
have shifted. Things have changed. You know, God knows what's going on in other people's
hearts. He knows what's going on in their free will. He knows, you know, the options
and the choices that they are being presented. He knows what he is saying to them. You don't
know what he's saying to them, but he knows what he's saying to them. And if it comes
to a point where they've hardened their hearts and they are not going to say yes to change,
they're not going to say yes to humbling themselves, God will release you. He will. And he did.
And he released me. Y'all, I've been married this time around for 17 years. I know what
it takes. You think that that was all rainbows and butterflies? You think that's what that
was? No. No, it's not. It isn't. And so these couples, they gave up. They gave up. They
gave up. Some of them had already been divorced before and they gave up. Sometimes when you've
given up before, it's easier to give up the second time or the third time. They're like,
no, no, no. I see signs of what I don't like. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out of here.
And I'm not saying that some of those might not have been rescue missions.
There were at least three or four of those divorces where we counseled them. Do not marry
this person. Do not marry this person. You do not get along with this person. There is too much
strife. There is no compatibility. This is happening too fast. Do not do it. And they did it
anyway. God has given you a defense system here and it's him and it's also us. We are on your
side. God's not trying to keep any good thing from you and neither are we. Neither are we. You
are God defended and we are part of that God defense system. So please listen. Please listen.
If we raise questions about a union that you're trying to jump into, if we raise questions about
a person, if you come through Symbus and we say, oh, hey, hey, you know, there's some yellow flags
here. Maybe even a few red flags here. We got to take a look at. Please don't just say, oh,
no, I love them or I want to be with them. Or we got to rush down to the altar because we just can't
wait anymore. We can't wait anymore because, you know, we're in danger of having sex. You know,
things are getting kind of dicey here and we're going to end up having sex. We don't get married.
Now, I'd rather you have sex than marry someone you're going to be divorced from in five months.
Now, don't leave this prayer call and say, well, Jackie said we can have sex. No, she didn't.
No, she didn't. OK. You can have self-control. You really can. And rushing to the altar just
so you can get in bed with each other is a mistake. It's 100 percent a mistake.
Now, I'm not trying to be hard today. You guys know I love you. But listen, I'm telling you,
the roads are getting narrower. The roads are getting rockier. You're going to have to have
hinds feet if you want to go to the high places. What is that? Those are goats feet. You know,
have you seen those goats that are like standing on the side of a cliff and you're like,
how'd you get there? Seriously, little goat. How did you get there? Because there doesn't seem to
be any path to where you are. And I don't even know how you are. Are you like Velcro to the
side of the mountain? Like, how are you even up there, little goat? How? I'll tell you how.
The Bible talks about having hinds feet, says he will give us hinds feet. Do you guys know that
song? You'll be able to do the difficult things. Those goats are there because they've been
created to do that. And you know who else has been created to do hard things? You. You have
been created to do hard things. But I'm just going to call all of us out in North America.
If you're not in North America on this call, you're not in America, in the U.S. of A, then,
you know, I'm not going to leave you out because you're still in a secular generation,
whatever country you live in. Okay. But I will say this. We are soft in the U.S. of A.
We really are. As Christians, we are very, very soft. We're, we are, we're soft. We like our
comfort and we like it now. We do. And so I don't know what's going to happen. I feel God shifting
me. And so since I am the leader of this movement, if I shift, y'all are going to either shift with
me or, you know, shift, shift with me or shift out. Because I do feel like the Lord is saying,
Hey, we got to prepare people, not just to partner, but to partner during harder times,
even than we've experienced so far. What's it look like to work together? David and I,
we got irritated at each other about 15 times today, because that's what will happen when
you're in a stressful situation and you're with each other. And, and, but you know what,
we still, we still showed up. We still kept working together. Right. We still working as a
team trying to be.
Successful because why because we're in it to win it doesn't matter if I get annoyed
It doesn't matter if I don't like his tone. It doesn't matter if he doesn't like my facial expressions or my attitude
That's not what this is about
This is about are we going to show up? Are we going to do the hard things?
Are we gonna do them together? Are we going to position each other to win? I want him to win. I
Want him to win. This isn't just about me winning. I want him to win if he loses I lose
That's the attitude that you have to go into partnership with if they lose you lose
If they lose you lose to
My husband used to say something to me that I just really didn't believe when we first got married because I had never had a
Relationship where someone cared like this about me, but he said, you know, I'd be going through something
I'd be like, you don't understand you're not going through it. He's like Jackie. It's like if you're going through it, I'm going through it
It's like your problems are my problems
Right, we're one
And that's true. If you have a solitary mindset in marriage, you're gonna fail your marriage is gonna fail
Soon as that other person starts struggling. You're not gonna want to be tied down held back by sinking ship
I will tell you the first couple years of our marriage. My husband was drilling holes in the bottom of our boat. I
Was trying to get us somewhere because I'm a go-getter
I'm a doer and my husband hadn't dealt with some stuff some hard work that he needed some spiritual hurts and church hurt
and so it was the
Sabotaging situation over and over and over again. And finally one day I was like, bro
We're thinking is and the reason why is because you are literally
Drilling holes in the bottom of our boat
What are you doing?
And he was like, I I don't know I I can't I I can't I can't do what you want me to do
I can't go where you want me to go. Why can't he was being held back?
Not on the outside because I was making a path for us y'all. I had the machete. I was cutting through the jungle
It was on the inside. You're not stuck on the outside. You're stuck on the inside
So guess what? I had to slow down. I had to get in step with him
I couldn't run forward and say oh well too bad
I guess you're gonna have to stay here and I'm gonna go. No, that's not the way it works
That's not the way it works
If they can't go you can't go either. I
Never forget the day
I was in the prayer line and I was going up because I couldn't figure out why everything that I was trying was falling flat
And I went up to the prayer line to get prophesied over and this woman, you know, she was new
Well, she wasn't new. She was actually from a different
Not a different church, but a different campus of my church
And so she didn't know me and she obviously didn't do the same
Training that the people at our campus train because there's certain things you're not allowed to prophesy
And so she starts praying for me and she goes you feel stuck and I said, yes, she goes it's not you
It's him and he points to David who's not even in the prayer line
He's just standing back, you know back with the other people talking and you guys I got so mad. I knew it
It's not me. It's you
We're stuck because you can't go forward because you can't get your mindset because you won't do your hard work
My husband got so sick of hearing the hard work
He couldn't handle hearing the hard work. In fact my whole family all my kids like mom
Can you chill with the hard work? Can you stop? Will you stop with the hard work?
Seriously, we don't want to do our hard work mom. We're good
but what had happened was I
Got some enlightenment God had given me an upgrade but the upgrade
Was me going first kind of me pioneering and I had to do that for a while by myself
Before the people leave my closest people to me caught up
You guys know that
And you have to understand that that's the way life is a lot of times and God's watching you he's like, yeah
You know, I know I promised you this thing and I know that you've had a little breakthrough with it
I'm not even talking about marriage. Whatever else it is that you're working on. Maybe you had a little breakthrough
Maybe it was take three steps forward and five steps back
That's how I was with a lot of my ministry guys. I've been in ministry for 28 years and
I'd be like that
I don't even know if you want me to do this and
What was I basing that off of I was basing that off of it wasn't easy. It wasn't coming easy
There wasn't what we call breakthrough the red carpet wasn't rolled out for me
And so I was like, oh, maybe I'm not supposed to do this
There's no red carpet rolled out, you know, people don't seem to want what I have to give
And yet God would continue to say to me. Hey, just keep going. Don't give up. Just keep going. Just keep praying
Just keep writing, you know when I wrote that book the heart work
I was like, no one's gonna read this book as the first year the book was out
I tried to go on a book tour and I were all gonna just laugh at this
I
Tried to go like a hunt a little tour where I was speaking at some different churches where I knew pastors and stuff and you
guys no one showed up for that stuff I
I had a prayer call for years that sometimes my husband would have to log into because
it wouldn't even record unless one person was listening.
So he would log in and just listen to this kind of thing, Supernatural Saturday, because
no one else was logged in to listen.
Now people would listen and replay, a handful of people here and there.
You guys, I kept going.
I kept going.
Were there times when I just like, forget it, I'm not doing this anymore.
Sure.
But I said it, but I never did it.
You know that parable that the two sons and the father asked them to go out and work in
the harvest.
And one of them said, oh yeah, dad, I'll go.
But then he didn't.
And one of them said, no, I'm not going to do that.
But then he did it.
Do you see that?
All that matters at the end of the day is what do you do?
What do you do?
Lip service is great, but what do you do at the end of the day?
The son that was like, yeah, I'll go.
He didn't go.
He didn't show up.
And the other that had a bad attitude and was like, no, don't want to do that.
He showed up.
And yes, I've had plenty of bad attitudes, plenty.
But guess what?
I just kept showing up.
I just kept saying, okay, I kept allowing God to stop in my heart.
I kept praying, teach me, show me, heal me, grow me.
I continued.
And here we are.
Does you know that we've probably helped a thousand people get into a marriage minded
relationship in the last four years?
Do you know that we have over 750 engagement and marriages in the last four years?
And I said yes to doing this.
It wasn't easy four years ago.
It didn't just explode.
It was a lot of hard work and it continues to be a lot of hard work.
In fact, this is the only real vacation I've taken in four years.
And I just told you, it's kind of grueling.
It's a lot of things I didn't expect.
But you guys, that's what happens.
That thing that you're dreaming about.
I just want to let you know that there's going to be hard stuff attached to it, whatever
it is.
There's going to be hard stuff and there might have already been hard stuff, but there's
going to be more hard stuff.
I know this isn't the word that you want, but it's the word that you need.
There's going to be more hard stuff, but there's going to be such good stuff and it's going
to be so worth it.
There's going to be so much beautiful stuff.
You're going to look back and you're like, wow, I'm so glad that I didn't quit.
I'm so glad that I pushed through.
And so I want you guys to take the rest of this call because I have to get on a plane
and I want you to activate this, Bethany.
I want you guys to confess, repent, whatever you got to do.
I want you to shift your mindset.
I want you to recognize and realize that, yeah, it might've been hard up until now,
but it's not going to get easier and you don't need easy.
You just need worth it.
Even in the midst of breakthrough, even in the midst of you receiving the things that
you've wanted for so long, there's going to be hard things attached to even the receiving,
but there's also going to be beautiful things attached.
There's going to be amazing, eternal things attached, life-changing things attached, and
that's just the way it's going to be.
I remember I prayed to the Lord right after I married David.
You guys, I had been through such a hard season in my first marriage.
I almost lost my life several times.
And all I wanted to do when I married David was just rest for a while.
That's all I wanted.
I just wanted to have peace.
I just wanted to have an easy kind of easy street, kind of easy life.
I didn't want to have to deal with mental health problems or health problems or financial
problems or any of the crazy stuff that I dealt with for the last over a decade of my
life.
Actually, my life got real crazy when I became a Jesus follower, right, when I was 22.
So for that whole decade and a half, and I remember praying to the Lord because all kinds
of stuff was still going, just crazy stuff.
Like on this vacation, y'all, someone hacked our account, someone hacked our PayPal, attached
a fake PayPal, and started taking people's money from them in our name.
And then someone stole my brand new tennis shoes that I got for the trip.
Yep, that's what happened.
My son lost his passport.
What else?
Just all kinds of crazy stuff, y'all, okay?
But back to me coming out of that rough, rough, rough decade and a half of my life, I wanted
to rest.
I wanted it to be easy.
And I remember saying to the Lord, Lord, can I just get a break?
Can I just get some rest?
Because we were just dealing with all kinds of blended family problems and all kinds of
stuff.
I'm like, did I jump out of the frying pan into fire, God?
What in the world?
What's happening here?
And he said to me this, he said, Jackie, he said, rest is not a thing, it's a place.
It's a place you can come to in me.
It's like the eye of the hurricane, friends.
There's a place that you can come to in him where you can have rest, Psalm 91, you can
rest.
Psalm 23, Psalm 27, you can rest.
Even with chaos all around you, you can rest.
Even with the hard bits of going after the dreams and desires of your heart, you can
live from a place of rest.
Now, I ain't got there yet.
I go there.
I visit there a lot, but I don't live there and stay there like I should because my personality
kind of wars against it.
As you guys can see, I'm a little like over hyper, okay?
And so, but I will tell you.
I'm trying, I'm trying to labor to enter into his rest.
And so I want you guys to have a time of reflection,
okay, contemplation, repentance.
Also just, just, what was the word?
Vowing that you want this and that you're gonna do this.
And you guys, you know what makes things easier
in the hard parts and the hard bits?
Each other.
The Bible says,
strengthen the weak arms and the feeble knees.
Grab them, pull them up, take them with you, right?
That's what we're to do.
And so when one person can't do it anymore,
we pick them up, we take them with us.
We bear each other's burdens.
We're not created to bear our own burdens,
but we are created to bear the burdens of others.
And so I just want you to have a time.
And I feel like it could be a very supernatural time
if you press into it,
if you guys are willing to get vulnerable
and really understand that it's not going to be easy.
It isn't just, it doesn't have to be easy.
It's not going to be easy.
And I know a lot of you are like,
well, it's already been hell on earth.
Okay, well, you know what?
Don't wear gasoline underwear
because you're to continue to walk through
some stuff in life.
But Jesus has promised he's overcome the world.
He's promised that he strengthens us.
He's promised that he delivers us.
He's promised, you know,
that he will deliver us out of every adversity
and that it'll all be worth it.
All right, I love y'all.
I'll see you soon.
Ooh, you all, this is so powerful.
If you'll grab a hold of it,
man, let's lean into this.
Let's not rush past it.
God is going to do something really awesome here.
I'm going to share just real briefly
because I feel even led to confess myself.
Okay, so I'm going to start first.
Y'all, we are so blessed to be in this new church,
but guess what?
The new church has some problems
and there's some people that are hurting and broken
from past stuff, from their own baggage,
and say the last few weeks have been hard
and we haven't felt like,
oh, we want to leave or anything like that.
We know God led us here.
But the reality of what Jackie is saying is so true.
Are we in it for the long haul?
Are we willing to hang in there
and follow through on God's promises
to see the reward on the other side?
So Lord, I just ask you even right now to forgive me
for already feeling like, God,
why couldn't it just be easy?
Lord, I thank you that you bring truth and life
into the dark places of our hearts,
that you bring revelation when we need it.
Help us to lean into this word today,
to not give up, but to get up
and to come out of alignment with lies and fears
and doubt and unbelief and just desires to give up at times
or to get frustrated and stay there.
God, thank you for your grace.
Thank you for your mercy that's new every morning.
Thank you for giving me understanding today
to cling to you in the midst of it
and to keep going in Jesus' name.
Who else wants to jump in on this this morning?
I do, Bethany.
Awesome.
I was at, this is Stacy in Texas.
I was at a women's conference last night
and there was a powerful word about being consistent
with God and the first thing was repentance.
And I had to repent,
repent that having a husband or being married is an idol.
So I repented of that.
I repented of that because I don't want anything
or anyone to come in between my relationship with God.
So Father God, I receive your forgiveness
and I repent for holding marriage
and a husband in an idol state.
And Father God, I don't want anything to come
between you and me.
And Lord, I know that it's going to be,
I know that it's going to,
there's gonna be trials and tribulations
and yes, I'm ready and I'm up for it no matter what
to glorify you and to show people
that there is fruit only from you in my life.
In Jesus name, amen.
Robin, go ahead if you're wanting to share.
Yeah, I just confess that less than a year ago,
I felt God clearly speak to me about going to seminary
and there's just been some, yeah,
I've had to put some things on pause
and the finances are hard to come in
and I've been questioning.
And so God, I repent Lord for questioning
whether you called me to go to seminary
and God, I repent for just saying,
God, you're asking me to do something that's too hard.
I'm single, I'm trying to work too hard.
I've ranted to you about just that it's hard
and just some other financial things
that have come up that's hard.
With, yeah, and I repent, Lord, for complaining
and assuming that it was supposed to be easy
and for just telling you that you were asking me
to do something that was too hard
rather than asking you to be my resting place
and asking you to be my provider
and giving you the pen of my education
and giving you the pen of my finances.
And so, God, I just choose to give you the pen
of my education journey and calling
and I choose to give you the pen of my finances
and even trusting you to do,
to follow through with the finances
of what you've asked me to do that feels scary.
And so I give that to you, Lord,
and I repent for not believing that you would follow through
or that you would not teach me
how to do what you've asked me to do.
Lord, I thank you for a prophetic word I recently received,
but I didn't really receive it.
A man said, you put courage back in encourage.
I was like, that's hard to receive, Lord,
because I don't feel very courageous.
So, Lord, forgive me for not receiving that word
because I do and I will be putting courage
I do and I will be putting courage in the encourage
in myself and in others.
And Lord, I just do pray and I continue to pray.
I know this single life has challenges beyond me,
which drives me to desiring to have a partner in my life.
So, Lord, my prayer is that I, and for everybody on here,
we would just find the right mate who's willing
and who wants to work with us.
So, despite our differences,
we still have a soft place to land at the end of the day,
knowing we're not alone.
Amen.
I just want to repent for comparing myself,
particularly in my story.
I had a couple of weeks ago,
just felt really discouraged about dating
and was comparing my story or like my process
with other people that I know.
And I was like complaining a little bit like,
God, how come it's so hard for me?
Why is dating this so hard?
And, you know, it's been fun.
And then I kind of got into some areas
where I'm needing to grow and needing to trust God
and have conversations.
And I just was like, why is it hard?
But I just repent of that and surrender
just what I think should happen
and how things should go to God.
And I also just pray for grace that in difficulties
and hard times that God's grace is sufficient.
And so I just pray grace over myself
and grace over all of us and all of this community
in Jesus name, amen.
Amen.
God, you just gave me a deeper,
even deeper revelation for Philippians 3, 13 and 14
that I was praying earlier.
Then in that scripture,
it's that racing towards the prize.
It's comparing it to an Olympian who is training
and is dedicated and persevering and not giving up.
And God, that's not easy.
I've watched Sarah, my niece in preparation
for the Olympics and the training and the dedication,
even when she's not, even when it doesn't feel good,
even when it doesn't feel good.
And even when she's on quote vacation,
visiting our family,
she is dedicated and still finds a pool to swim in
and to keep fit and to keep going towards that prize.
And God, when it gets hard,
help me not to sit in it being hard.
Help me not to focus on that,
but to focus on the prize, to focus on you,
to be dedicated, to persevere God,
to see what is before me
and not to be focused on my circumstance.
as father, but to be focused on you. And God, I also pray for rest. You say, come to me,
you who are weary and laden, I will give you rest. And God, the gospel, it's not anti-effort,
but it is anti-earning. And so father, I pray God that you will just release me from having
any kind of spirit of earning, but God to rest in you, to persevere through you, through
your strength, not through my own God, to rest in you and to not focus on my circumstances
and get caught in the hard things, but to go persevere through them with you in the name
of Jesus. Amen. Lord, I just want to pray. The other night we were talking about, do you have
problems with submission? And I thought to myself, I don't like, I like a strong guy,
a man's man kind of guy, a tough guy. I like to feel protected and covered. But Lord, when Jackie
was talking today, I realized like something I know about myself already, but I received, I guess
I heard it in a greater revelation. I also am like the go-getter, the go-do. And like, I just came
out of a season where it probably didn't seem like that. So I was struggling with a lot of fear, but
I am that person. And I do, you know, when I have heard the Lord tell me, no, I'm not quick to say,
okay, like I'm quick to argue, like, well, what do you mean though? How come? Like, well, I wanted
to do this. And I think like, I probably could be like that. Like when she said, if your partner's
not ready to go, like you can't go. Like I could foresee that being hard for me. Like I was ready
to take off and you weren't, so I had to wait. Like that would be hard for me. And so, Lord,
I just repent of that, whatever that is, just that like, maybe it's an independent streak or
just wanting my own way or having a hard time being told no and just not submitting. And so,
Lord, I just repent of that and ask that you would get that part of me
submitted to your will under your alignment, Lord, in Jesus' name.
Lord, I am sorry for not always allowing you to direct my paths, for not always acknowledging you
in all my ways and allowing you to direct my paths. Lord, I have so many ideas, so many things
I want to do. It's not easy for me to sit still. I feel like I don't have time to waste. I should
always be doing something. And sometimes I put the cart before the horse and not seeking you.
So, Lord, I ask that you forgive me for that and bless and help me to do better in the name of
Jesus. Amen. And Lord, I just come before you. I thank you, Lord, that
you are working behind the scenes on not just my life, but all of our lives, Lord,
both the women and the men. And God, I just thank you that. First, I repent
for not being so trusting with you, Lord. I know that you have everything in your hands
and that you're working everything out. And sometimes I just feel like I have to do it all
and I'm not doing enough. And I just repent, repent for not trusting you completely with my life
and that you know what's best. And thank you for the heart healing that you're taking me through,
Lord. And sometimes I just forget that I can come to you, although I know I can come to you,
and I just try to figure things out on my own. And I just, I surrender that to you, Lord. I
know you're a big God and I know that you're in control. And so I just release all control to you
and I just surrender my heart to you, Lord. And I thank you for the work that you're doing. And
I'm so grateful, Lord, for all that you've already done in my life. And
just thank you, Lord, in Jesus name. I just thank you, Lord. Amen. I cover all of us in the blood
of Jesus. Lord, I just repented this morning because there are times I just felt everything
is so hard and I wonder where you are in the hardness. So I just repented of that this morning
because I question you each day. All I can see is just the hardness and I cannot see you.
It is so hard sometimes to keep going, but I'm still trusting in you in the hard places.
don't understand. So this morning, I just want to repent and ask you for your forgiveness
for my wavering and doubting and complaining and questioning your love for me this morning
God and I surrender all unto you in Jesus name.
God, I just want to thank you for what you've given me in three days of rest. Now I can
see so much clearer that I could see the roses and not the thorns today. I want to thank
you and I want to declare a new hope and a new way of seeing things and to just give
you praise in it God and just a simple life and God is thank you for right now. I thank
you for being alive and every breath and everything you've given me God and I just prayed that
gratitude over every single person that is praying right now and listening that they
see the goodness in all of things and we and the assumption of that is gone in Jesus name.
I declare it. I declare goodness over everything because you are good God. It's not what we
do. It's what you do and God, I just thank you for that vision. You've given me today
and to focus on all the good things the beauty and the flowers and the roses and not the
thorns and the the weeds of God. Thank you for your goodness. Amen. Amen. Amen. Y'all
let's continue this in the groups. I feel like God is on this in a big way. If you all
will participate in this repentance and aligning with the good of God and that he is working
on your behalf. There's a couple things I want to pull out from what I heard as y'all
were praying that I feel like God really wants to highlight. I'm going to give you a scripture
and then I'm going to close us out when Robin was praying and repenting. She said she repented
for believing that God would not follow through. I just felt like that was so like I just felt
that in my spirit when she said it and so if that's you if you struggle to believe that
God is a good God and that he's going to follow through for you want to encourage you to lean
into that and repent of that and come out of alignment with that lie. And then I kept
hearing the theme of God I repent for complaining and it's interesting. I just was just reading
in scripture yesterday and I was talking about you know how sin like sin is grumbling and
complaining you all but so often we forget that that is sin don't we so again no shame
but if that's you if you've been really stuck in a season of grumbling and complaining bickering
fault-finding whatever repent of that don't choose to stay in that lane come out of that
lane and come into the lane of truth and hope and life and declaring out of your mouth the
goodness of God and align with scripture if you don't have that in your heart yet declare
it get your Bible out and just start declaring it over yourself and partner with truth and
you all remember that we can ask God to get it from our minds down into our heart but
that comes through heart healing that comes through your heart healing and that will that's
what enables you to partner with truth because you'll believe truth the more that you heal
and then this was the last thing that really stood out to me this is hard partnering with
hard I feel this so much some of you all yes your life has been hard like Jackie said it's
been hard since you were born but I want to encourage you to come out of alignment with
the lie that your life is always going to be hard you are going to go through hard things
we are going to go through trials and tribulation and face hard circumstances but our life our
being our identity doesn't have to be this is always going to be hard this is my lot
okay so don't partner with that when I encourage you and bless you with Deuteronomy Deuteronomy
31 6 be strong and courageous do not be afraid or terrified because of them for the Lord your
God goes with you he will never leave you or forsake you father thank you so much for this
day thank you God for the prayers that we prayed for the words that were released through Jackie
for the repentance and the hearts that were coming into agreement with your renewal and
refreshing today God I pray that you would continue this work in us long after we log
off today that you would continue to stir these truths in us that we would not give
up but that we would get up that we would partner with the kingdom of heaven and your
plan and your destiny for our lives and that we would know that in the trials in those
moments of difficulty that you are there because you've already gone before us you would not
you don't leave us you sent the Holy Spirit to empower us to partner with us to counsel
us to be our guide so we are never alone and I thank you for that in Jesus name God bless
you all we love you tomorrow night Sunday night prayer
