Good morning. Happy Saturday, everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome. If you didn't see my announcement
in all the groups this morning, we are going to do a regular time of prayer today. So co-ed
community prayer, it's going to be awesome. Jackie's going to do Supernatural Saturday
on Sunday this week, because they're actually on a plane right now. So come tomorrow night,
8 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time to hear the word that God's been preparing in Jackie's heart
to release over our community. But I'm so glad that you're here joining us. I hope that you'll
stay and lean into prayer and what God wants to do through each one of all of us, like as a team,
we're here in community. I did want to kick off this morning with a word that God gave me when I
asked God, just like, like, Lord, what do you have for us today? I immediately kept seeing an image
of us, us, everyone, collecting things and putting them into a bag. And so I was just kind
of asking the Lord, like, what are you trying to show me? Because at first I was just like,
I don't think this is right. I don't think this is what God's saying, but he just kept
showing me the same thing. And when I asked him, like, Lord, what does this represent? He said,
we are collecting things with joy and each piece is important. That's what I heard him say. We are
collecting things with joy and each piece is important. What are we collecting? Well, some of
the people in this community, I feel like struggle because, I mean, we all came in. I mean, I'm
already married, but I'm speaking on behalf of what I see in the groups. We all came in to find
our spirit mate, ideally. Some people came in just for healing, whatever led you here, God knew what
he wanted to give you and help you accomplish and step into while you are here. And so I want to
encourage you this morning that don't let your hearts be troubled or discouraged because God is
doing a work in you and he wants you to collect every piece that's important for you to step into
that spirit mate relationship that he has for you. Jackie released even last week, you know, are we
going to give up? Are we going to get up? Y'all marriage isn't easy at times, but man, it's fun.
And God is doing a work in families and marriages that have his kingdom heart. And so I want to
encourage you if you haven't found your spirit mate, or even if you have, like we are in a season
of collecting wisdom, collecting healing, collecting strength, collecting joy. Some of you all didn't
grow up in a lot of joy-filled home environments. You grew up in a lot of religion. So God's trying
to help you get rid of that stuff to pick up joy. And each piece is important. Here's the
scripture I have to support what I'm saying this morning. It's Psalm 16, Psalm 16, verse 9 through 11.
I'm going to read the NIV version of that this morning. It says this, therefore my heart is glad
and my tongue rejoices. My body also will rest secure because you will not abandon me to the
realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. Verse 11, you make known to me the
path of life. You will fill me with joy in your presence with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
The whole thing really ministered to me. And obviously with joy being the kind of cornerstone
of what God was trying to show me through all this, you all, I kept feeling like there's something
about that in verse 9 when it says my body also will rest secure. I don't know about you all, but
when I am coaching people in heart work and even going through like what I get triggered by in my
own life, sometimes my body has a physical response. Can anyone relate to that? I'm just curious. Raise
your hand if you get triggered and then your body's having some kind of physical response.
Let's see digital hands this morning. Be easier. Okay, so this is a word and a promise for all of
us that as we allow our hearts to be filled with joy, as we partner with the truth of heaven,
God is saying that our body can also rest secure. So we can come out of alignment
with any lie of the enemy that would cause us to believe that the physical things that are
happening in that moment, that that is our lot because it's not. God's trying to heal us to help
us learn how to not get triggered and go into flight mode in our body. Okay, so I didn't plan
on bringing that, but that's what God put on my heart this morning. I want to pray into that.
And then what I'm going to do, we're just doing this. If you're just joining us this morning is
regular community prayer surprise. We have a lot of changes this month just because Jackie's
traveling. She's literally on a plane right now. So she's bringing Supernatural Sunday
tomorrow night. Come at 8 p.m. She would love to see you there.
And we're just gonna lean into prayer this morning.
You all, we did this a little bit last week too.
God has a word that he's trying to say
through each one of you too.
And he's trying to release truth
through us as a community in this season.
So I hope you lean into that and stay with us
and really enjoy what God's gonna do in us
and through us this morning.
Before I pray, one last thing God said to tell all of you.
He said, tell them that daddy is on their side.
Daddy being God.
Ooh, I feel the Holy Spirit on that.
Daddy is on our side.
What side?
Well, the side that aligns and partners
with the original plan.
The original plan he had for us
when he formed and created us.
So father, just thank you so much for the reminder
that we are never on this journey alone.
God, that you are on our side,
that you're our defender, you're our protector,
you're our healer, you're the great physician.
Nothing is too hard for you.
Emotional healing isn't too hard.
Physical healing isn't too hard.
Reconciliation and families is not too hard.
Bringing us spirit mates that are healthy
and walk in the fruits of the spirit
is not too hard for you, God.
Help us to come out of alignment and agreement
with this is hard.
God, help us to come into alignment and truth
with what you declared over this community this morning,
that we will collect every piece with joy
and every piece of what you're giving us
on this journey is important.
God, help us to receive the truth
from heaven this morning that you're speaking
over our community, over our hearts.
And Lord, I pray right now that even as Jackie and David
are in the air, they're in airports,
there's just a lot going on today.
I pray that you would just continue
to really bring into fulfillment
everything that you wanted them to get on this trip.
God, even as they're going and living and moving,
having their being, that it would be in you,
that their bodies would be at rest and secure in you.
And we just thank you in advance
for everything that you're doing in their lives,
in this community, in each one of us.
Thank you, God, that we will not grow weary
in what we're doing.
For in due season, we will reap if we faint not.
So God, I thank you for every seed that's been sown
by Jackie and David, the leadership team, the volunteers,
every member that shows up and participates
and listens to replays.
God, that we are partnering with your plan
and will for our lives.
And we say yes.
We say yes to you, God.
We say yes to your kingdom plan
and purpose unfolding in our lives.
And we say yes, that we will continue
to follow after you, Father.
God, thank you for the reminder that you're in,
yes, Lord, you're in the stands and you're cheering us on.
And you're not getting up and leaving
in the middle of the game
and leaving us there in the game by ourselves.
God, you're staying until the finish line.
You're staying until the end of the game.
And I thank you for that,
that you never leave us or forsake us.
And I declare that over this community again this morning
in Jesus name, amen.
Is there anything that God is putting on your hearts
that he is leading you to pray over Jackie, David,
the community?
We're just gonna go with Holy Spirit this morning, y'all.
Okay?
Bethany, I heard while you were praying,
something beautiful awaits on the other side
of what we're believing to be hard.
Okay.
Ooh, that's so good.
That reminds me of Jesus in the boat with the disciples
and there was all the winds and the wave
and they were scared, but he wasn't.
And y'all know why?
Because he knew where they were going.
He knew where he was taking them.
So yes, Lord, we receive that truth.
We don't have to be afraid
because you know where you're leading us.
You know where you're leading us in Jesus name.
Who else wants to jump in and pray?
Or if something God's putting on your heart.
A few weeks ago, I was dreaming
and at the end of my dreaming,
it was just usual stuff you wouldn't remember.
But at the very end, at the very tail end,
I was surprised with a picture
that I think came from the Holy Spirit of my youth pastor
who stood in front of me,
smiling with a grin on his face.
And he said, I already know who you're going to marry
in his voice, but I'm sharing this
because I think it goes beyond just what I experienced
to say that God already knows who you're gonna marry.
Your life is in his hands and he's a good father.
Good father gives good gifts to his children
and he loves you and he hasn't forgotten about you.
Bethany, I'd like to kind of bounce off that one.
I really feel that the Lord
is speaking through dreams right now.
I really feel like that God is saying
to listen very carefully and just be God.
aware. So, Father God, we just pray right now for those supernatural dreams. We pray, Father,
that we would be aware of them, that we wouldn't just write it off to the pizza we had last night,
that we would write them down and just really pray into them and then really see what you're
saying and how we should be praying about situations we're in and the future and
conversations we're going to have during the day. Father, we just know that you prepare us and you
are for us and a lot of things look bad, Lord, and you've got us and you've got a way,
you've made a way for us where there seems to be no way. So, we just thank you right now,
Father, for the dreams and the visions that you are giving us and we ask for ears to hear
and eyes to see in Jesus' name. Lord, I just thank you for Jackie and David and the team
and I just pray that you would push back the hackers and the attackers, that you'd make the
path straight, that the attacks on their health would be rebuked and rescinded and that no weapon
form against them would prosper or anybody on the team or in the community. Lord, I just pray
those with only an ember of hope left that you would blow on it, that you would bring
God-winks and God-little kisses during the day to show them that you're with them
and that tangible ways that, Lord, you're such a good dad and help us to see all your little
things you're doing. Even in the midst of the valley or even on the mountaintop, Lord, would
you just encourage our spirits, our hearts and renew the strength. Maybe we want to mount on
wings like eagles, Lord, and fly and soar as you've called us to be. We're not chickens, we're
not ducks, we're eagles and we're meant to soar. So may we catch the updraft, Lord, that you're
providing in Jesus' name. When Bethany was talking about collecting things, what came to
my heart and a vision, I love to walk on the beach and collect shark's teeth, but you have to
try to break them to make sure that their shark's teeth, if they break, even if they look like a
shark's teeth, if they break, it's just a piece of a shell. And then praying the wisdom,
you've got to have wisdom. So God, as we're collecting things, Father, I pray that
you will give us wisdom and discernment to what is real, to what is authentic, to
what is beautiful in your sight. Something might be beautiful to us, God, but it's not something
that you want us to collect. So I pray, Father. Oh, wow. And even like when you're looking for
shark's teeth, they're highlighted, like they glimmer, they look different as the water is
hitting them and they'll kind of glimmer. So God, I pray that you will highlight to us things
that you want us to collect. And we may not even be looking, like people find shark's teeth
sometimes when they're not even looking. And so God just, but that light will hit it. So God,
give us eyes to see and ears to hear and wisdom as far as what you want us to keep, God, and what
you want us to throw back. Because the things, like when we're getting things on the beach,
if it's just a broken shell that looks like a shark's teeth, we throw it back. But some of those
broken shells, though, also are beautiful. I have some beautiful broken shells. So God,
show us what is beautiful in your eyes that you want us to see beauty in so that we will collect
the things that are divine to you and that you want us to hold on to and let us hold on to them
loosely, God, in however way you want us to, so that you can use them. And God, I also,
you're really talking to my heart recently about identity and you and our worth in you. And so God,
I pray just for everybody in this community that we will walk boldly and confidently
in our identity and you, not who people say we are, not who our career says that we are, not
what our bank account says we are, nothing else, God, but who you say we are. And God, we are worthy
in your sight, Father. And I thank you so much that we can claim that and that you tell us we're
worthy and we are your children, your chosen children, Father. So I thank you for that in
the name of Jesus. And God, I also want to pray for favor and for safe travels for Jackie and
for David as they're returning, God. I pray for protection in their flight, God. And I pray,
Father, as they return, that they're coming back refreshed, that their marriage just has an extra
an extra spark in it that just it's fueled up God and that they're coming back with new ideas and just ready to hit the ground running in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
I'm Bethany I just want to piggyback on the word that you spoke concerning we are collecting things with joy.
Each piece is important. I feel like God is doing a work in my life concerning anxiety and that he just does not want me to operate in that spirit of course.
I'm not supposed to but I have struggled a lot with it.
And I feel like people in this community have also I just do use his word God has not given us a spirit of fear but a power love and a sound mind.
And he's really really been doing a deep work in my life, just with everything, every person I've met every date I've gone on every relationship I've gone through.
God is just saying, I'm not, I'm not wasting anything.
I'm not wasting one thing, and I'm going to use all of it for for my glory, and the verse that was on my heart.
1 Corinthians 417 for our light affliction, which is for a moment, work is for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. So not only is he doing something in this life, but he's doing something for eternity, that, um, you know, it's no mistake
because we're all going to our own individual things but each piece that we're going through is is counting for eternity, that the Father is really on our side so I just want to pray Oh God for each and every person that is, is struggling with a spirit of anxiety, that you have not given
them a spirit of fear but a power love and a sound mind.
You said to fear not for you are with us to be not dismayed for you are God, you will strengthen us. You will help us you will uphold us with your righteous right hand.
So thank you God for this community for Jackie and David for Bethany and her husband and all the marriages represented here. All the engagements all the people who are finding their spirit me, I pray Oh God that they would not operate in the spirit of fear, but you
give them a boldness, and that you would help them to graduate into that next stage of being confident and bold in you. In Jesus name. Amen.
Okay.
Did you, I didn't know if you wanted to pray you're unmuted.
Sorry.
I just want to make sure before I know that's fine.
One of the things that came up in my spirit was also the scripture in Hebrews 1025.
It's a call that that part of the scripture is a call to perseverance and faith so I don't think that's a coincidence either I didn't know that when I started looking the scripture up, but it's talking about like what came up in my spirit is like as the time
draws near to the end like, you know, God says that as things get harder in the world. It's important for us to gather together more often as believers.
Y'all this is why even just even though we're doing something different today like you staying and remaining and participating and allowing God to build your faith is so important so I'm going to read the scripture it says, not giving up meeting together as some
but encouraging one another in all the more as you see the day approaching. So I want to encourage you all just to continue to to come to live events to come and participate.
And in my spirit I'm also here and don't be just an observer but a participator. And so when we're doing prayer and like this I know it can be scary especially if you're someone that is, you know, struggling to use your own voice, but this is like a
safe place for you to practice using your voice here.
hearing what God is saying and just trying to step into that,
even if you don't feel like you're sure,
it's a great way to just say,
God, I'm gonna trust you and I'm gonna step out in faith
and I'm gonna believe that you have me here
for a purpose to receive, but also to give.
You know, it's more blessed to give
than it is to receive you all, I promise.
So I wanna encourage you,
is there anyone else that's feeling anything
that's coming up in your spirit?
Okay, Nora, awesome, go ahead.
Hi, good morning.
Okay, I felt like I was hesitating,
but when you said that, I was like, okay,
I know I need to go.
So something that you said at the very beginning
of this call, Bethany, really resonated with me
when you said God is on your side
and I honestly was just standing in my kitchen
started crying because that is something
that I just really feel is resonating for me
and maybe for anybody else out there who feels like,
you know, maybe people that are supposed to be
on their side aren't, like this week I've been struggling,
you know, with just a situation at work with my manager
that honestly felt really unfair,
where I just felt like he wasn't on my side,
which was the most difficult part of the whole thing.
But just, but God is on our side.
So I just, yeah, I'm just gonna pray.
God, thank you so much that you are on our side
when other people who should be aren't.
I just thank you so much that you're with us
and that your power is made perfect in our weakness, Lord.
I've been feeling like I've just been struggling
with my weakness so often.
And the most frustrating part is like about weakness,
I think is that we have strengths,
but sometimes our weaknesses are what gets magnified,
whether it's at work or in a situation
or we have a bad day.
And God, just thank you so much though,
that no matter what, whether we're being strong or weak,
you are on our side and you are our strength.
And actually, I'm just really sensing that you're saying
that our strength, our weakness is a strength
when we rely on you.
So God, I just thank you for that truth.
I thank you that you come in
and you just in any situation that feels impossible
or unfair or just really discouraging, God,
thank you that you're the one who makes our path straight
and that you're on our side.
So powerful.
Amen.
Go ahead, somebody, I don't know who's talking.
It's me, Karanda.
Hey friends.
Amen, I just jump in and join on that.
I just come to you, Lord, today with such gratitude
that you are on our side and we are God defended.
And in this moment where there's just a lot of mixture
of things in culture and in church and just in life,
that you show up for us
and that you are teaching me personally
how to just ask for help, dear Lord.
I thank you so much that I was able to get new tires
on Tuesday and then I went to Pep Boys on Friday
and they said something about my car.
And you just called that out and had that leap out
in my spirit to give me a really small way to be discerning
and to say, you know what?
I'm gonna take this to the dealer.
And even though I spent an hour and a half
at the dealership this morning, dear Lord,
they came back and they said,
there is absolutely nothing wrong with your car.
They were just trying to get money out of you
and trying to deceive you.
And the fact that he just kind of used those words,
dear Lord, it just jumped out to me in this moment.
And I thank you for the opportunity to practice,
slowing down, being discerning, chewing on things
and meditating on them and reaching out
to people that have wisdom.
Even though this is a secular example,
you are just showing me how to walk this out
in my life in the little way.
So dear Lord, I thank you that as we do the little things
is how we will do the big things.
And I thank you for the opportunity to practice
and in a low stakes way, dear Lord.
So you are so gentle, you are so kind
and you are so gracious.
And I praise you for good reports all around.
And I pray that over our community for good reports,
for any cars, any houses, any health,
anything where someone has said,
hey, this is gonna be harder than we think it is,
that we will say, you know what?
Let me chew on that report
and let me get wisdom
and that you have good reports for us.
So dear Lord, you are so gracious and kind
and we love you in Jesus name, amen.
Go ahead y'all, popcorn.
I know people have their hands raised.
I think Brittany was next,
but then after that, just go ahead and jump in y'all.
It'll just flow a lot better that way.
Okay, so I think that's what really struck a chord with me
was just knowing that the Lord is still like on our side,
even in times when it's hard.
And I'm just so thankful
and I just really wanted to pray.
into that that in our weakness that Lord that you would just continue to make us strong
even when we're in the areas where things start to come up emotionally and we physically feel that
in our bodies and our bodies cause a reaction I thank you God that you are continuing to heal us
I thank you that the enemy does not have a hold of us in that area Lord that you are
continuously to heal us but also allowing us to gather that wisdom and that insight from you
and I thank you God that even someone said this earlier while I was driving but it was pretty true
in a situation I was in recently the Lord showed me a dream about somebody at my job because I
wanted to know the answer to a question and it came out yesterday so Lord I thank you that
it wasn't the food that I ate the night before but God I thank you that even the times when
we're not aware that you make us more aware and you allow us to ponder on those dreams or even
things that you allow us to see or even hear so I thank you that things won't be hard that
being with our spirit made and when we get to that point where we're married Lord I thank you
that it wouldn't be so hard that a lot of people would say that it would be I thank you that we've
put in the work I think we've put you first Lord and our spirit makes us put you first and I thank
you that you have our back and you see and hear you know all side this thank you Lord for that
Jesus name amen Lord I thank you for that word that was shared this morning your word of God is
pure and I thank you for that Lord God your word about joy and God I want to thank you that you
have created us to joy bond with people and not trauma bond with them and I thank you that that's
one thing that we can collect through this experience and I ask that you would help me to
collect that in my heart and I was thinking about the how I've been collecting stones that are in
the shape of a heart and this summer I found so many and it started when I was praying for my
sister that was having heart surgery God and and you showed me that perfect heart shaped rock that
she was going to be okay and since then I just keep on finding them and I was pondering that
this morning when Bethany was talking about collecting things and I feel like that heart
shaped rock that that hardness is like the tenacity and I just want to pray about developing
discernment like confidence in my discernment about what you're saying and what you're doing
and the choices in dating and I thank you that I've been God defended through this past week
when I ended a relationship with someone I thank you Lord that that you defended me and showed me
that I do have my own discernment and that you are leading me that your Holy Spirit is strong
and I just thank you for your help that you are a good helper God. Amen.
I just want to pray into dreams. I had a dream of a heart shaped rock last night and so
Lord I thank you that you give us dreams and I thank you that it's been mentioned a couple times
in this prayer so I pray for the ladies and men who don't dream or who used to dream God and don't
dream anymore. Holy Spirit I ask you to release those dreams. I ask you also to release interpretation
for those who dream for all of us God. Release an interpretation and understanding me even
connection in this community with others who dream and yeah just release your dreams to us Jesus. Amen.
Father I thank you too that you have given us an opportunity to reflect. I'm tuning in today from
from Southern California. I am going to be attending my youth pastors memorial service and
youth pastors memorial service and it's at the college where I met my husband and
so just lots of memories coming up today God and help. I just am praying and thankful for
the opportunity to reflect on those dreams that I had when I was in college and all these years
later God you still are fulfilling those dreams beyond what I thought they would be and beyond
what I had even hoped for when I was here as a college student and many years ago so God
just thank you for this day and
help us all to process the things that feel mixed with sadness and joy and I
just thank you Lord that you are daddy you are on our side and that you do not
forget your promises and you restore our hearts and our lives and with wisdom God
we walk through the next season of our lives and ask you to bless each one here
listening today with with trust and hope because you are our hope Lord and thank
you for this community that we have the opportunity to to share together this
this time and and pray for one another just blessed Jackie and David Lord and
this whole team for their faithfulness to you God you are faithful to each one
of us and you will you will be faithful and we trust you Lord in Jesus name
amen
yeah so Lord I just want to partner with something I keep feeling God saying go
back to the and it keeps coming back up and about the daddy's on our side if
y'all weren't on when I said this as I was kind of praying at the beginning one
of the things God showed me was he was sitting in the baseball stand like if
you were can imagine being at a baseball field and you're one of the kids playing
in the game feel something on this this morning y'all and God is sitting in the
stands and he's cheering you on and specifically what he said is I'm not
gonna get up and leave in the middle of the game
he's gonna stay there till the end like cheering us on the whole way and then
when someone else was praying Karanda when she was saying you know she said
God you show up for us I immediately was reminded of when I was in high school
y'all some of you know the story my dad was an addict and a drug addict and
alcoholic he was like not in my life like at all but there was a time when he
came back home and I wanted him to come to my concert so badly like I sang in
the choir and I can remember just longing you know the Holy Spirit so much
this is gonna bring freedom to somebody I longed to see him in the crowd and he
didn't show up y'all that broke my heart and I can remember when I first gave my
life to the Lord just really processing that with the Lord and so I want to give
this to someone this morning what you experienced on earth for some of you is
not who God is God always always always shows up for us he doesn't leave he
doesn't forsake us I know sometimes in the world we believe we partner with the
lie that he has left us that he wasn't there fighting for us but that's not
truth that's not truth we will face hardships and trials the enemy will
assault us he'll attack us he'll try to bring death destruction but Jesus came
why to give us life and give it to us more abundantly so Jesus already won the
victory even for your ability to believe that God is good so this morning I want
to encourage you if that if that resonated that story resonated with you
like maybe it wasn't dad maybe it was mom whoever even like Nora said sometimes
even people like you know we feel like we really want these people to show up
for us and they're not and so what what do we do with that do we hold offense
bitterness resentment even towards God or do we release those things and say
God I trust you God I trust you that you're shown up for me even when I feel
like people aren't and that my identity and my value and my worth does not
change because of these situations and things so I just wanted to release that
over you all that God is on your side that he's cheering you on it's fun it is
fun he is fun am I saying it's always gonna be easy no gosh y'all I have hard
days for sure but God is so good and fun and adventurous in the midst of those
things Jesus Jesus Jesus come help us to have a higher revelation today of what
you're doing all right Debbie go ahead
I don't know if Debbie did you want to go did you have something you were
wanting to pray or release
okay if not Sandy go ahead
Hi, I wanted to share thank you for sharing that about your, your wanting your dad to
be there because I was struggling this morning, praying and asking the Lord I've been pressing
in walking with him and just really going as deep as I can go with him and I felt exactly
what you said. And I said, Lord, why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like you're
just not coming up to where I need you the most? And when you spoke about the your dad
not being there at your concert, I used to ice skate as a little girl and I was really
gifted and excited and we do these recitals. And my mom sometimes would come but my dad
would never come and hear about how gifted I was at school and he would never come. And
when you said that today, I go, there it is. You never had a dad to acknowledge. And I
go to work and people say, Danny, you're so gifted and all the things I feel God has gave
me to do. I just have sitting there like, well, why don't I have the tenacity to get
up and go I'm motivated. I do a lot of things he calls me but I never see the finishing
of it. And when you spoke that it just went like a dart that that wound that your dad
doesn't show up for the big things. He hears about it. He watches you he's looking at you
he sees what I'm doing. And that today just broke and I believe that's going to break
for a lot of people because when you said that it's going to do this is for someone
it's for a lot of us I think on here so thank you for sharing that.
I was really struck by what you said Bethany when you started out with dad is on your side
because I lost my dad as a kid and he was a really good dad. And I haven't I mean, it's
been 30 years. And I haven't more than 30 years I haven't had that like longing for
my dad in a really long time. And this week, it's been really heavy. Like I just wish I
could talk to him and ask him about life advice and wisdom. And I was feeling really abandoned
and I kept saying like trying to break the feeling of abandonment and orphan mentality.
And I just really couldn't shake that. So I just God thank you so much that the truth
is that you haven't abandoned us, and that you are the same God that of Hagar Scott and
that you do see us. And you are here. And you the truth in your word that you're working
things behind the scenes that we don't even know. And so God, I just pray that what you
have worked out in the supernatural is evident in the natural for us.
Um, there there was a word that I've I've gone through a really tough, challenging past
year and a half and something recently happened that definitely was was the enemy, you know,
the enemy meant for evil. And I was talking to my mom. And she literally said, this is
when you say, God, are you here? Why aren't you here? And I said, Mom, that is not what
I'm thinking. That has not even occurred to me that has not crossed my mind. And I don't
even want to hear those words. I said, because I know, I know he's here. I know that because
he promises and leaning into his promises. Never will I leave you never will I forsake
you and and speaking those over any kind of doubt. And I read through the Bible. This
is my fourth time reading through the Bible in a year with a community of women and we
were something in Jonah was really highlighted to me this year. I grew up in church and they
would use the felt things, you know, and pictures and, you know, to help children understand,
I guess they would show Jonah in the belly of a fish, but there was like this little
lantern in there. So you could kind of see, you know, what was going on in the fish per
se, but there was no lantern in there. It was pitch black. And, and I went through a
dialogue in the dark years ago and you couldn't even see you couldn't even see in front of
you couldn't even see your hand. You could see nothing. Absolutely nothing. And I was
thinking about Jonah and while he was struggling and questioning God was always there. He was
always there.
He was moving in the people that were, that, you know, that had been, you know, doing the boat.
He was moving within the fish and, and it even says in some of the versions that God prepared the fish.
He had prepared the fish. And so God, I praise you. I thank you for your promises.
I thank you, God, that even when things seem just dark, dark, God, you know, all, all tunnels,
you can't see the light at the end of all tunnels right away.
Sometimes there are curves and tunnels and, and we can't see our hand in front of us, but God, you do.
You've gone before us. You never leave us. You never forsake us.
You've gone before us, behind us, beside us. And I thank you so much that you hold us by your righteous hand, God.
Thank you for your promises and help us to focus on those and not our circumstances.
Help us to be confident, God, that you are there not to question father.
If you are there to, you know, David did, he would say, why is my heart downcast?
But he always ended and recognizing that God was there.
So God, we have real emotions that we can come to you. Thank you, God,
that we can come to you with those emotions and be like, God, I'm not seeing you right now.
Help me see you and then cry out to you, father.
To cry out to you in those moments, but to end knowing and confidence that you are with us, that you love us,
what the enemy meant for evil, you mean for good and you have good things for us.
I praise your Holy name and the name of Jesus. Amen.
Amen. Amen. Anyone else have something God is showing you this morning that you want to go ahead and release that over the community and pray.
I do. You guys have been talking about abandonment spirit and are just that abandonment feeling.
And for so many years, I've struggled with that because my own biological father was really not involved in my life.
And a couple of weeks ago, I was really struggling with just feelings of just not feeling love, not feeling appreciated.
And I couldn't get rid of those feelings. And one day it was like a Saturday morning.
I went out for a walk and, you know, these feelings were still washing over me, no matter what I did to remove them.
You know, I was talking to God, talking to the Holy Spirit, help me.
And I went out to this field and there was a field that of heart shaped leaps.
And I love heart shaped leaps because they're my reminder that God loves me.
And literally everywhere I turned as I took this walk, it was like, you know, God was saying to me, I love you.
I would look down and there were heart shaped leaps everywhere and I collected them and I brought them home.
And I pressed them, put them into frames because they're my reminder that God loves each of us, no matter what we've done, no matter what's happened in our life.
He still loves us and he's going to take that brokenness in our life and he's going to bring good out of it.
And Heavenly Father, I'm just so grateful for each person here today.
Grateful for what you're doing in this community, grateful for the healing that you're doing.
God, you know what we feel, you know what we think, you know about those negative thoughts that go through our heads.
You know how we need to change them and how we need to heal, but only you can do that work in us.
And so today I speak into every person here who is struggling with their own issues with, you know, just feeling loved, feeling accepted because of their past.
I pray that you will just speak into them and help them to feel loved.
Help them to feel accepted.
Help them to know that you love them no matter what's happened in their life, no matter their past, no matter anything.
That you will always love them and that your light will shine through them.
Thank you, Lord. In your name. Amen.
Hi, this is Alicia.
I was on an activation with Bethany a couple weeks ago and I was so struggling with abandonment and she challenged us to see what the Lord had to say about it.
So I went and spent some time with the Lord and this is what he told me.
And it was so healing. That was like two weeks ago.
And I'm still in that and I've been dealing with abandonment for 50 years.
And when I looked up the antonym or the opposite of abandonment, it was adoption.
Coincidentally, not really. I'm an adoption social worker. That's what I do for a living.
And so I thought it was super interesting.
Hello, the opposite of abandonment is adoption.
And then when I looked up the scripture, there's scripture that says.
He has given us the spirit of adoption.
And so when I further looked this up, Bethany challenged us to write out what the Lord said
on a white piece of paper and hold it up and take a picture.
So this is what the Lord told me about abandonment.
God has given me the spirit of adoption.
He redeemed me.
He chose me in love.
He accepted me in the beloved for the pleasure of his will to the glory of his grace.
Lord, we thank you that we are adopted by you for the pleasure of your will and to bring
glory to you and that you're going to give that to us through the empowering presence
of the Holy Spirit.
So I release the spirit of adoption over this community.
I know that a lot of us feel lonely and that we have lost family and Lord, we want family.
And that's what you say in your word.
I mean, you came to us because you wanted a family.
And Lord, I thank you that together on this call, there's over like 180 people, Lord,
and that we can be family together, even though that we don't fully know each other, but we
have the spirit of adoption among us in Jesus name.
Amen.
Can I get an amen?
Who's going to partner with the spirit of adoption this morning?
We can talk about hard things, can't we?
Hallelujah.
Amen.
He's your good daddy.
Amen.
He has good gifts, and you are a son and daughter of the living God, and you can and will see
the goodness of God in the land of the living.
You will.
Amen.
I will, we will, we all can.
Amen.
Yes, Lord.
Amen.
So thank you for sharing that.
That was a powerful shift in the spirit.
Y'all, I knew we needed to go after the father wounds, but man, when you release and lean
into what is given to us in place of those things, praise the Lord.
What a powerful shift.
This is why it's so important, y'all, for everybody to share when you feel led, and
I know we don't have maybe time for everyone to always share, but I feel like just to,
as I start to ask you guys to put in the prayer chat things that you want or need prayer for,
I want to activate everybody.
Pray for people by name in the chat, and then we're going to pray over things in general.
I want to remind you, if this is your first time joining us for live prayer, if we pray
for something in general, and that covers your need that you put in the chat or a need
that's even unspoken, receive that by faith.
Receive that that is for you by faith.
But one of the things I want to just continue to encourage you all, I'm so blessed by everyone
that shared.
Some of you have never shared that I've been, because I'm not at all of them, but today
I heard some new people share, and I was just thinking and kind of mulling over how many
people shared things that connected to things that other people were experiencing, like
when Joellen shared about the heart-shaped rock, and then we have Debbie who saw heart-shaped
leaves, and then we had Shana who had a dream about heart-shaped something.
I think I heard her say, y'all, this is just a reminder of how connected the body of Christ
is when we are all leaning into what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing, right?
Praise the Lord.
So powerful.
What an important reminder.
And so if you are someone that you're just like, man, I don't know if I hear from the
Lord, I want to give you some truth to encourage you in that, to receive the truth that you
are, he's the good shepherd, we are his sheep, and there's a scripture, I'll have to look
it up for you, but it says that we are his sheep, and his sheep hear his voice and obey
all that he tells us to do.
So that is something I declare over myself all the time.
I'm so grateful that I started doing that years ago, because I do believe it's had an
impact on my ability to hear what the Father is saying, what the Holy Spirit is saying,
what Jesus is saying, y'all.
He's always talking.
Okay.
All right.
So we're going to start to pray for your needs.
I want to encourage someone, be ready to pray.
If you've gotten like received financial breakthrough, or you've recently got a job, or let's say
it this way, too, maybe that's what you're contending and praying for.
I want to encourage you to be ready to pray for the whole community in that area.
I'm going to go ahead and pray for physical healing.
Y'all, I battled some physical stuff this week.
And so I'm feeling led to pray for everybody else's physical needs.
I'm fine.
So I don't want anyone to worry.
The reality is, is that we all face trials and struggles.
And I truly believe that even when I'm struggling, if I pray and intercede for someone else,
I can get breakthrough.
So Father, just thank you.
Thank you so much for you.
Just a reminder this morning that you are the good physician, that nothing is too hard
for you.
God, even as I started to speak and pray.
about healing.
I just feel something even warming in my heart
as I think about what you showed me.
I saw him pouring oil, ladies and gentlemen,
pouring oil over us.
God, we thank you for the healing oil
flowing from heaven over every body part,
over every emotion, over every mental wound.
God, we speak healing over minds,
no more depression, no more oppression,
that it must go in Jesus name.
We thank you that we will partner with joy unspeakable
full of glory, the joy of our salvation.
And when the enemy tries to assault us
with depression and oppression,
we thank you that we can find relief in you, God.
We can also find relief through, you know,
working with doctors, there's nothing wrong with that.
So God, I thank you to whatever avenue you lead us to
for physical healing, mental healing, emotional healing.
God, we thank you that we are partnering with you
in the journey and we can receive the healing
that you have for us.
We thank you that we don't have to be ashamed,
we don't have to be afraid, that we can trust you.
God, I thank you right now for cancer cells
being demolished in Jesus name,
surgeries that have been performed in the last week,
people coming home and God,
family members caring for them.
We thank you for grace in those situations.
We speak healing over their bodies.
I also just see someone that has just some kind of issue
in your right knee.
So Lord, I just keep seeing warmth in the right knee,
some pain there.
So Lord, we just speak healing to ligaments, to joints,
to any area in the knee that is not functioning properly
and it's causing pain, it's causing discomfort.
We speak grace and healing right now.
God, we thank you for new knees.
We thank you for new organs,
for cells being regenerated in our bodies.
God, we thank you that no matter what the enemy
has brought against us in the past,
God, that you are the redeemer, the rebuilder,
that you can rebuild our bodies.
Praise the Lord and give us vitality and long life
in Jesus name.
Amen.
Okay, who's willing to pray over finances, jobs,
cars, houses, all those things?
I would like to.
Awesome, thank you.
Papito Dios, heavenly father,
I come before you with a heart full of gratitude
for all your goodness.
You are definitely the best dad that all of us could have.
You have today, you have blessed me in a ways
beyond my own understanding, providing me with a job
I didn't even apply for, a job that perfectly aligns
with my career path and passions.
I'm overwhelmed by your kindness
and the way you opened the doors for not only me,
but for all of us.
Even when in those days we cannot see the way.
So Lord, I thank you for the opportunities you placed
for all of us, for the assurance that you're guiding us
every step on the way.
I pray that you help us trust in your timing,
your plans, knowing that you're always working for good.
May this new job be a place where I will always walk
in confidence in the knowledge that you are with me
every step of the way, as you spoke over and over again
today, blessed on your role of everyone as you allow them
to grow, serve others and bring glory to your name.
In Jesus name I pray, amen.
Amen, amen.
I pray also for surprises financially showing up.
I just heard the Lord say to release that again.
You'll know we've done this on faith Fridays on occasion.
Well, some of you might not know that, but I'm not like,
I don't believe God's a vending machine,
but I do believe God loves to surprise us with stuff.
And so Lord, I just release surprises for homes,
surprises for jobs, cars, opportunities.
God, you're putting us on people's minds
that we don't even know right now.
God, we thank you for that.
We would also be good stewards of what you give us,
but God, I thank you that you just wanna,
you just, I just see God laughing and smiling
over us this morning.
You all, Zephaniah 317 says that he dances
and rejoices over us with singing.
So Lord, we just thank you.
We bask in the truth that you are good
and that you love to surprise us.
We thank you for surprise money showing up
in random places that we wouldn't even think
to even ask for it.
So Lord, we just thank you.
And I thank you, God.
Yes, Lord, that as your sons and daughters,
that we would open our hearts to receive from other people,
because sometimes God, you're sending it through people,
people showing up to give us groceries,
people offering to go take us and buy us something,
but we sometimes reject.
the gifts that you're trying to give us through people.
So Lord, I thank you that you would help us
to let go of any pride or any inability
to receive from others because we lack
the ability to trust people.
Thank you, Lord, that you would help us
to open ourselves to love and to receive your goodness
in any way you wanna send it to us in Jesus name.
I'm gonna start to pray over some other areas.
One thing that really stood out to me,
7777, I don't know what your name is,
but you mentioned about like how you struggle to finish
because of your dad not showing up for you.
And God told me to tell you to partner with the truth
that you are a finisher and to encourage you
to stand in front of the mirror today
and say to yourself, I show up for you.
I choose to show up for you.
Like to actually partner with,
it is hard when these people don't show up for us,
but we have to come to the place where we choose
to show up for ourselves, you all.
We choose and know that God is there showing up
for us as well.
And that, I'm not saying it's easy,
but I'm saying it's possible and it's worth it
because you can finish, you can finish
and God will help you get across that finish line, amen.
Father, thank you also right now for everyone
that's a part of this community.
God, I thank you for those in the heart work in phase one.
God, I thank you for real feelings for healing
that are happening.
God, we thank you God for acceleration of healing,
supernatural surgery happening in the daytime,
in the nighttime, even those beyond phase one,
I declare that over you,
that even as you sleep, that God is doing surgery in you.
God, we thank you for supernatural grace,
hope, hope, hope, hope, pour in hope God, I thank you.
I just see a pitcher just being poured,
water being poured out from heaven,
filling hope tanks today.
God, we thank you for hope, fresh and filling
of the Holy Spirit to overflowing,
that we would live and move and have our being in you
and that everything that we would do
would come out of the overflow of receiving your fresh love,
your fresh hope, your fresh peace.
So Lord, I thank you that we would partner with you today.
I thank you God that you would help all of those,
that as they continue to move forward,
help them to take steps closer to their spirit mate
and help their spirit mates to take steps closer to them,
that we would partner with the truth
and thank God that we would have an attitude of gratitude.
God, thank you for helping my spirit mate to find me
and for me to find my spirit mate,
that we would not partner with this is hard,
dating is hard, but we would part, even if it feels hard,
God, that we would partner with the truth,
that God, you are leading us one step closer every day
to our spirit mate.
And I know that that happened for me, you all.
So I know that it can happen for you in Jesus name.
God is leading you one step closer every day.
Just keep doing the next best thing.
And sometimes that next best thing is to,
hey, go stand in front of the mirror,
declare things over yourself, to go have fun.
You know, how do we cultivate joy, you all?
We go cultivate fun.
Some of y'all need to go just have fun.
We used to do that in the community.
Every Saturday, Jackie would say,
I forget what she called it, but it was like fun Saturday.
Like just to encourage us to go out and have fun.
One of the things I also felt led recently,
and I would love to release this over all of you as well.
I did this in the phase one group, the heartwork group,
and just the reminder of how we connect with God in nature
and how that changes our connection with him
in every other way.
And so I don't know what your favorite place in nature
is to go to experience that,
but I wanna encourage you to do that in the next week,
to really ask God, God, where do you want me to go in nature
to connect with you, to hear from you,
to receive an upgrade and then go do that thing
or go to that place?
And maybe it's kayaking, maybe it's a hike,
maybe it's just sitting by a water somewhere.
I don't know what your thing is,
but then when you're doing it,
we did this in phase one and it was so encouraging.
I had the ladies take a picture of themselves
doing that thing and then post it in the group.
I really believe this new season,
falling in love with God, ourselves and others
is also about celebrating the good things,
celebrating what God is doing,
celebrating the breakthrough.
So let's fill, again,
it doesn't mean you can't have hard days,
but let's also fill up our groups with life and truth.
And this is for the guys too, okay?
Guys, I want you to do this too.
Go have fun and document it,
document it so that you don't forget, all right?
So anything else that I didn't catch in the chat here,
I was trying to get all the things
that I saw people saying and doing.
Father, right now, I just thank you again
for the reality that we can have joy in all seasons,
even in hard seasons, because our joy is in you.
God, I thank you.
I see even right now, God, thank you for wisdom
for those that are taking exams and tests.
God, thank you for just.
supernatural remembrance happening for them.
Also here in the spirit,
those that are in court custody situations,
just, God, thank you for the reminder
that you're the defender of their lives, God,
that they can lean on you and trust you
and that you're seeing them through all the way to the end.
So maybe you just need that reminder
that God's in the courtroom,
he's in the stands and he's cheering you on
in that courtroom too, okay?
I feel that in the Holy Spirit.
Thank you, God, for that reminder
that it doesn't matter what the field looks like,
but he's there.
Praise the Lord.
We love you all.
Come tomorrow night, Supernatural Sunday.
Jackie will be there at 8 p.m. Eastern.
We love you.
We'll see you in the groups and go out.
Hey, go have fun today and tomorrow and the next few days
and come in the groups and post about it.
God bless you.
See you later.
Bye Beth.
Thank you Bethany.
