All right, hey everyone, welcome to Supernatural Sunday.
We just make it work, right?
I hope you guys had a great time yesterday having prayer for the community and tonight
we're going to do our regular Supernatural Saturday fair.
If you're new and we do have some newbies, if you are new, we usually have this time
together on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. Central, 7 p.m. Pacific, and we call
it Supernatural Saturday.
And what we do on this session is we just lean into the current prophetic reality of
heaven.
What is God doing?
What is he up to?
And so we want to lean into that and so we do that together on Saturday mornings and
it is amazing.
I have a fun announcement.
I have a couple fun announcements before we get started today.
One is our affiliate program is still viable.
We just had a couple technicalities.
That always happens, right?
There's a couple technical things that happened that we're just trying to sort out and work
out, but we should have that back up and running here at the beginning of next week.
And so just keep looking under your tab.
If you are a Facebook-only student, meaning that you do not have access to the last year
single app, you don't have access to it, I didn't think that we really had anyone left
in that category, but if you are one of those people, then rest assured you will have access
to the app soon.
And when you do, you will be able to see everything that you need to see in that resource tab.
So if you are on the app, whether you're in group one, phase one, phase two, or phase
three, or in the men's group, there is a resource tab in your group, and that is where
that SpiritMate match link lives.
If you're in phase two or above, and if you're in any of the groups on the app, you should
also have an affiliate program link.
Right now, it is not dismantled, but it's turned off because we're working on it on
the back end, but it will be turned back on really soon.
Okay?
All right, so that is our first announcement.
The second announcement is by Thanksgiving, because we want to give thanks, by Thanksgiving,
you will be able to download, or not download, but you'll be able to get access to my Supernatural
Saturdays in a book form.
So if you've ever been like, hey, you know what?
I would love to do Supernatural Saturday, because you guys, you know that we've spit
some fire on these sessions, right?
And so all of that in a book form, how would you like to have 52 weeks of supernatural
power in a book, and be able to go after that with the Lord every single week, as you're
doing your own sabbatical, leaning in devotional, I don't want to call it a devotional, because
it's going to be pretty, you know, intense.
It's going to be the most intense devotional that anyone ever had.
But at the same time, for those of you that you like to take a Sabbath, I think we should
all take a Sabbath, and I do not take a Sabbath regularly the way that I should, but I do
want to, and I feel like this could be a catalyst for that, of really just pressing in with
the Lord one day a week.
Sunday is historically the Sabbath.
And why is that?
Because Sunday is the beginning of the week, and it's the beginning of the week for a lot
of people.
People do not rest on Sundays.
They go, go, go.
They go to church, and then they go out to eat after church, and then they go shopping,
do their grocery, they get ahead of everything, so they can start the week out right.
Well, that is the first day of the week for a lot of people.
Just so you know, Sabbath is historically a day of rest, is a time of rest, is a time
of reflection.
It's a time of renewal, all the rewords.
And so being able to really just press in one of those days, and just allow God to really
speak to your heart.
And so I'm going to be putting that out there as a book that you guys can get a hold of.
All right.
So that's cool.
That's fun.
All right.
So let's get started.
So Father God, we're so thankful that we can come together tonight, Sunday night, Supernatural
Sunday Lord.
We are believing that you are going to meet with us, you're going to speak to us and through
us tonight, that you have a word for us, a transformational word, something that is
going to help be a catalyst of change in our hearts, in our lives, in our relationships
with you, with ourselves, with others.
And so Lord, we're asking for that tonight as we press in with you together in Jesus'
name.
Amen.
So I have a thought.
You guys know that a lot of times Supernatural Saturday is a very challenging time, right?
And I just want to let you know.
You know, I'm really challenged by the downloads
that we received too.
It's not like Jackie's up on some, you know,
in some ivory tower kind of preaching
to the people that aren't in the ivory tower.
No, I'm not, I'm not in the ivory tower at all.
I am, I'm with you guys.
And, you know, the downloads that we receive
on this time together are just as much for me,
just as much for David, just as much for our team,
just as much for the leaders of this movement
as they would be for anyone who would be a student
or a client or listening in.
Okay, I just wanna make sure that you guys know that.
So we're very challenged by the things
that the Lord allows to come through
during these times together.
So I got home, you guys got home at 1 a.m.
Our time in Europe was great.
I will tell you that I love America.
I'm so glad to be back in America.
For those of you that don't live in America, bless you.
But there are so many things about America that I just love.
And I love so many things about Europe, about the EU, I do.
But I just, I love home.
And if anything, it's just made me love home even more.
Really thankful, feel so thankful,
feel so blessed to live in this country,
in this beautiful, amazing country.
And it's made me want to fight for whatever it is
that God sees as the future of this country even more
and to pray that the Lord would allow us to continue
to be the light that he has created us to be.
I do believe America has called to be a place of refuge
and a light and a place of freedom,
especially the freedom to worship.
And wanna continue to not take that for granted.
So I'm just really thankful.
I was amazed as I walked the streets of Europe.
You guys, this was the seat of revival years ago, right?
This is where some of the greatest awakenings
and revivals happened years ago.
And I will tell you that it's pretty godless now.
Now you'd be hard pressed in America to go anywhere,
any state where you're not gonna see something
that has to do with believers.
You're gonna see that,
especially if you're looking for it, right?
You're gonna see people with some kind of God merch on,
some kind of hats or T-shirts or something.
You're gonna see something advertised
like a movie or books or something.
You're gonna see that no matter where you go.
You're gonna see churches on every corner
and their billboards are gonna be talking about God
and talking about salvation
and talking about all different types of things.
Not Europe, friends.
Right?
Yeah, there's some big, huge,
I'm sure very expensive cathedrals that have been built.
Right?
And remember, you guys, this was a place
where some of the biggest revivals happened.
Some of the biggest awakenings happened.
Some of the biggest reformations in Christianity happened.
And yet I was just really taken aback
at how dark everything seemed.
And I guess I'm not saying that in a judgmental way
and how kind of hedonistic and lost everyone seemed.
You know, just living for the moment,
living for pleasure, living for survival.
And it really got me thinking.
And so tonight, I want you guys just to press in
with Holy Spirit and with me.
I feel like this could be a marking.
Last Supernatural Saturday when I was in the airport,
you guys, by the way, I was really sick.
I got really sick.
I don't know if I got COVID or what,
but my whole time in Portugal, I was really sick.
But the last Supernatural Saturday,
if you didn't hear that one, go back and listen to it, okay?
About the harder road,
about how the things that we're dreaming of
and wanting and desiring, how it's not gonna be easy.
It isn't going to.
That's a promise.
And some other things were shared on that call
that I think are kind of ramping up into this call.
And you guys, in ramping up into the next two weeks,
guys, we're going into some of the holiest,
holiest days of the year, okay?
It's not the Jewish calendar
that's the head of the year next,
you know, the next week and a half.
I believe that's God's calendar.
That's the original calendar, okay?
I live my life by the Gregorian calendar, yes, I live in America, I live my life from
January to December for sure, but God has enlightened me over the years to understand
His times and seasons.
And I will tell you, Rosh Hashanah is coming, it's October 2nd through the 4th this year,
and we are going into a new year, a new time, and God is a God of times and seasons.
And so please press in with us over the next couple weeks, because I believe that's a
very supernatural time.
And God will give lots of clarity, lots of revelation, okay, lots of direction to those
that are looking for it, that are searching for it, that are desiring it.
And so we're going to be doing some really special things, including our PATH session
next week, understanding the anatomy of your prophetic promises, the things that you believe
God has spoken to your heart and said you can have.
What does it look like to walk those out, okay?
What does it look like to process those things so that they can be practical action steps?
We're going to do that as a PATH session next week.
I don't think it's an accident that we're going to do that leading into the head of
the year in this very supernatural month of October.
It's a month of, you know, we're in the year of open door, really in the decade of open
door, okay, according to the numbers.
So we're heading into 5785 and we'll talk about what all that means on next week's Supernatural
Saturday as we head into that time together at the beginning of October, right?
Really exciting stuff.
But today I got home and I finally took, you know, a really, really good shower.
I had traveled for 20 hours to get back to the United States.
Travel never goes smooth, y'all.
And I finally got back exhausted one o'clock in the morning and today I was able to get
in the shower and then this thought came into my heart, ready?
Love doesn't seek its own.
So that's from the familiar passage on love in First Corinthians, right?
First Corinthians 13, and you can read it in any translation you want to, but basically
no matter what translation you read it in, what this says is love is not selfish.
Love is not self-seeking.
Love is not self-absorbed.
Love is not focused on self.
And we see that in the life of Jesus, don't we?
There were so many times during Christ's earthly life that you see that he is living for others.
His purpose in being on earth is for the betterment and the welfare and the goodness of others.
There were even times when people wanted him to focus on himself.
Remember that time when he was talking about what he was going to have to go through and
suffer because he had a revelation of that and he was talking about it?
And Peter, you know, and a lot of us identify with Peter because Peter is the guy that talks
without thinking, right?
And sometimes that works out like, Peter, who do people, who do you say I am?
You're the Christ.
And sometimes that works out.
And other times it doesn't, where he's like, save yourself, Jesus, you don't have to go
through any of this, right?
And Jesus is like, get behind me, Satan.
It's like, oh, but I think it's important that we really acknowledge what Jesus said
there.
He wasn't calling Peter Satan.
He was saying that that kind of thinking comes from a different kingdom.
That kind of thinking is what Lucifer got in trouble for in the first place.
Me, me, me, me, me.
You guys have to make sure you stay muted for all you newbies.
If you hear some background noise, make sure you check and see if it's your little microphone
that's not red.
People are like, who's making all that racket?
And you're like, oops, it's me.
Satan, his song is me, me, me, me, me, me, me, right?
And that's part of the curse, y'all.
Part of the curse is now we are so self-absorbed.
But you guys, God doesn't just have love.
He is love.
He doesn't just have love.
He is love.
A lot of us have to understand that.
We have to understand that.
We have to press into that truth right there.
God's love for us is not limited.
It's not based on performance.
Okay, it's not based on anything
that we have done or could do.
It's based on what Jesus did on the cross.
It's based on a man who lived a selfless life,
who became a sacrifice for us
so that we could be reconnected
to our divine inheritance and identity.
But you guys, I just want you to look at something with me.
You guys, this hit me hard, okay?
We have become so self-consumed and yet we call it good.
Even the teaching in our Bible schools
and even the heart work at some level,
it's all about me, me, me, me, me.
Who am I?
What am I called to do?
What's my destiny?
What's my purpose?
Me, me, me, me, right?
Paul writes something very cryptic in his writings.
He said, I have purpose to what?
To forget about everything except Christ.
You guys, I'm starting to kind of come into a revelation
of what some of these scriptures mean.
I know this for sure.
The root of depression, hear me out,
the root of depression, the root of stress,
the root of depression, or I should say the cure for it,
and I'm not talking about chemical imbalances.
I'm not talking about the mental health depression
right now, I'm talking about circumstantial
and situational depression.
Raise your hand if you've ever experienced
situational or circumstantial depression.
Meaning that you're going through something hard,
things are not working out,
every day it's the same thing, different day,
and you're starting to feel a lack of joy,
a lack of hope, even a lack of empathy for others
because when you're hurting,
it's hard to care about who else is hurting too, okay?
Look at all those hands.
So I'm not talking about the mental health version
or the chemical imbalance version of depression,
which is definitely very real.
I'm talking about circumstantial
and situational depression.
The cure for it is this.
The cure for it is serving others.
The cure for it is not focusing on yourself.
The root of it is self.
I'm not happy, I don't have what I want.
Sometimes I don't have what I need.
I want things to be different.
I don't understand why things can't be different.
Why does this keep happening to me?
On and on and on, it's not helping me.
It's not helping me.
On and on and on, it is at the root about us, correct?
Guys, I've been in this situation many, many, many,
many times in my life.
And I will tell you, the enemy wants to get your eyes on you.
He wants your full focus.
He wants you to be self-absorbed
because there's no joy in that.
You weren't created for that.
That is not your divine kingdom identity, it's not.
If Jesus modeled kingdom identity,
then we are never at our worst
unless we are absorbed with self.
He modeled for us a life that is focused on others,
on serving others, on loving others,
on giving others the things that we need
because what we do for others, God makes happen for us.
Right?
I know this isn't easy to do, guys,
but one of the reasons why I think in Christianity,
we have made it okay to talk about,
oh, well, you gotta do you, boo.
Gotta take care of you.
You gotta make sure that you have boundaries up
because you matter too.
I think one of the reasons why that happened
is because there are lots of people
who we call people pleasers.
There are lots of people that have a toxic giving pattern
where it is all about others, right?
They're constantly giving and giving and giving
and giving and giving and giving and helping.
helping and serving. I want to show you something. That is not the type of serving and giving
that I'm talking about. That also is still about who? Who's that about? That's about
me. When you get into a pattern like that, that is once again, you're doing that and
yes, it seems noble on the outside, but you're doing it for yourself. The motive of that
is self. I want people to like me. I don't want people to be mad at me. I don't want
to make anyone angry. I want to, I want to be a good person. Maybe even I want to do
what God wants me to do. I want to, I want, I want God to be happy with me. I just want
to make God happy. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, right? So Holy Spirit is trying to talk to us about
something tonight because you guys, humility is not thinking highly of yourself. It's not
thinking of yourself. I'm sorry, humility. I should have said humility is not thinking.
Arrogance is not thinking highly of yourself. I mean, yes it is. But we think that humility
is the opposite, right? If arrogance is thinking highly of yourself, bigger of yourself than
you should, then humility is thinking, you know, lower of yourself. But that's not true.
Humility is just not thinking of yourself. And I don't mean in a toxic way. I don't mean
in the way that you bleed out for all these other people. Because once again, if you dig
down into the motive that's underneath all of that, the toxic motive is still self, right?
It's still me. So what can we do? We have to press into what God is saying to us tonight.
He's saying, Hey, you know what? Love doesn't need to do that. Love doesn't need to seek
its own. Love knows that there's more than enough to go around. And love knows that it
is going to be full. It's going to be full. Which means that if I have two things left,
I don't have to store the other one for later because Hey, maybe there's not more where
that's coming from. Take one for myself and then keep the other one for later. I can take
one of that and I can give it away. Can I? Can't I? I don't have to worry. I don't have
to look out for myself. I don't have to look out for number one. Because guess what? You
shouldn't be number one on your list. I know this goes against a lot of really current Christian
theology, especially all this Christian psychology about us and how important we are and how we
should focus on ourselves and you know, all this stuff. You guys, that's not biblical.
The Bible says that those that lose their life for Christ will gain it.
Here's another really uncomfortable truth that Holy Spirit shared with me today. And that is
because of the curse and because all of us are the generations that have lived in the curse,
right? Yes, Jesus came and he broke the curse and he gave us access to heaven. Not just when we die,
but now. But you guys, you see that there are forces all around us that are still under the
curse, including even creation, that are warring against us every day. Amen? Raise your hand if you
see it. And so what does that mean? That means that this is not ideal circumstances. The life
that you're going to live on this earth, it's a very temporary life. It is not going to be lived
in ideal circumstances. So what if when things are not going your way, you understood that it's
just, it's just warfare. It's just curse warfare. That's all it is. It doesn't have anything to do
with you being bad or you being good, or you doing the right things or crossing the T's or
dotting the I's. Jesus already crossed all your T's and dotted all your I's. Do you hear me?
What does that mean? That means that it's just the state of how
this world is. Does that mean that there's nothing we can do about it? Well
not always. There's not always something that we can do about it. The outcome is
not always going to be what you want it to be, but I will tell you this, there's
always going to be another victory. There's always going to be another
victory. And Jesus has promised that he will even turn our defeat into good for
us. Hasn't he? So what does that mean? That means that we don't have to go
through life wasting our one and only earth life just worried about what we
can get for ourselves. We don't have to do that. The Bible actually says if you
don't seek those things for yourself, but you seek the kingdom, that all those
things will be added to you. Guys, I'm preaching to myself. I just want to let you know.
I just want to make sure that you know this. All of these things will be added to us.
What would it look like for you to be more concerned about the betterment and not concerned
in a toxic way, not an over helping way, not an inappropriate way, but every day you realize
when you get up that your job is not to take care of yourself or to figure out a way to
survive, but your job is just to seek the kingdom. Your job is just to seek the kingdom.
You guys, I have a justice, a justice motivation. I have a justice gift. Everyone put your hands
down. I got a lot of hands up right now. Go ahead and get them down. I'm going to do some
activation here. Okay, so I have a justice gift, but alongside of that, I have a mercy motivation.
So guess what? My justice gift and my mercy motivation actually canceled themselves out a
lot. My friend, Dan, I was always like, Oh girl, you got a strong, you got a strong mercy gift and
it continues to cancel out this justice thing you got going on here. But I will tell you guys,
sometimes my justice gift gets all riled up, right? Because it's a gift, but it gets overextended by
the darkness of the world. It gets overextended by all of the judgment. Okay. Justice and judgment
are not the same thing. So I want to make sure you know that. Okay. But there's so much judgment
going on all around me all the time when I'm out and about in life. Sometimes I get pulled into that
instead of into righteous justice. And on this trip, there were plenty of instances where my
justice gift got tweaked because I saw things that were unjust. And then I wanted to speak to that
from a place of judgment. Is this resonating with anybody? Okay. And then God spoke to me and he
said, Hey, there's a better use for that gift. There's a better use for that gift, Jackie.
Come on, y'all. When you want justice, because God has motivated you with justice,
when you want to see righteousness prevail on the earth, we got to stay out of judgment.
Because I know this, the true kingdom definition of justice is when the people that you would assume
are the victims, when the people that you would also assume are the victimizers, when everyone
gets set free. That's kingdom justice. Because you realize the victimizers were just the victims
from the past generation, right? From a different violation. Come on, y'all. We got to go here
together. I will tell you that I think it's going to take daily, daily focus and maybe a community
like this where we provoke one another to good works and we hold each other accountable
to stay out of self. And I think that's going to be a big part of what we're going to do.
Let's, let's think about really quickly, and I want you guys to put up in the chat.
What are some symptoms, some possible signs that I've gotten myself all twisted up with
myself?
One that, one that comes to mind immediately for me is pity.
Having a pity party for myself, poor little me, right?
So when you're, when you're, when you're feeling, when you're feeling any form of victimhood,
poor me, this happened to me, this shouldn't happen to me, bitterness, they, they did me
wrong and this happened and that happened and you're reliving all these moments of victimhood.
That's when you're all rolled up into yourself, right?
So let's see some more.
Go ahead.
Feeling misunderstood.
Guys, that's actually in that same chapter on love.
It says that love doesn't seek to be understood, it seeks to understand.
That's powerful, right?
It's all up to me.
Yep.
It's all up to me.
I got to fix it.
I got to change it.
I'm the hero of the story.
Feeling abandoned, feeling overlooked, feeling unseen.
You guys, this all is rooted in self.
It's all rooted in self.
How about just, how about making everything that happens about me?
About my comfort, about my time, about my this, about my that.
Guys, there isn't a person on here that doesn't deal with this.
This is the human condition.
Since the curse, the human condition is self.
I know it's kind of a scary thought, but because we don't understand it because we have such
an individualistic society, even an individualistic Christianity, but in heaven we will be a collective.
Will you still be you?
Yes, but it will be much different than it is now because you have to understand this
individualism that we're experiencing right now is part of the curse.
It's part of the curse.
This is why you don't feel one with God.
This is why marriage is a typology of that curse being broken and the two becoming one.
It's no longer about you.
It's no longer about me.
It's about we.
And guys, I want to just let you know, and I'm not mean guys like men, all of you, all
of you, y'all, let me tell you this, that ain't easy.
Going from me to we, from the I to us, that's not easy, but that's why it is God's maturity
plan for mankind because it continues to do what?
It continues to show us where we are still operating under the curse.
Having a spirit of offense, that was a good one someone put up.
You guys, you will never be more in your flesh than when you're offended.
Great is thy peace of those that what?
Love my law.
What law is he talking about?
The law of love.
Nothing shall offend them.
That's the scripture.
You guys, what would it be like to be unoffendable?
And the reason why you're unoffendable is not because what people are doing is not offensive.
It's because you realize it's not about me.
It's not about me.
I don't have to be offended by this other person's decisions or behavior because it's
not about me.
That's a them thing.
That's not a me thing, that's a them thing.
I've often said that offense is pointing to unhealed and hard places in your heart.
So pay attention, and I write about this in the heart work, pay attention to what offends
you.
You never have more of an opportunity for an upgrade than when you're offended.
Because that is an absolute root connected to that, there's an absolute root connected
to that in your heart, some kind of unforgiveness, some kind of lie you're believing.
Because once again other people's behavior, you can't control that, that's not about you,
that's about them.
So if it offends you, then you're making it about you.
But why?
Why?
Those are the questions that you ask yourself in those moments, and with the help of Holy
Spirit you will get the revelation.
And then you can ask for the healing.
You can forgive, you can release, you can repent, you can do whatever's necessary in
that moment, depending on what Holy Spirit shows you, and then you can get the breakthrough.
No, Shana, of course you're not there, none of us are there.
None of us are there.
I mean, there are times when we remember this, and we remember that it's not about us, and
we don't get offended.
And there are other times when we go 100,000 miles away, 100,000 miles an hour, sorry you
guys, I'm on sleep deficit, into, watch, the city of offense, population you.
That is what happens.
You get your panties all in a wad, you get all upset, oftentimes we make it much worse,
whatever the situation is.
And if we're not careful, offense can turn into grudges, it can turn into bitterness,
resentment, it can turn into a lot of much deeper, more dangerous things.
Right?
So we want to make sure that we understand that we're all there, but there's some of
us on this call, and I guess Holy Spirit's taking us here, because this wasn't what I
wrote down.
There are some of us that are very easily offended.
And I want you to go ahead and be honest if that's you.
You're touchy, okay?
You might even have considered yourself in the past sensitive, right?
That's a nicer way to say it.
But raise your hand if you would just admit that you get offended pretty easy, especially
by certain things or certain people.
It's okay.
Now, I want you to picture with me yourself, I want you to close your eyes, and I want
you to picture yourself covered with bruises.
I want you to picture yourself covered with burns, like a really bad sunburn.
Covered with bruises.
Because that's what you look like spiritually.
The reason why you're so easily offended, the reason why you're so touchy, the reason
why you're so fragile and so sensitive is because you've been through a lot of stuff.
You've been through a lot of stuff.
And those wounds are healing, but they're not healed.
And so it's easy for them to get tweaks.
Have you ever had a really, really bad sunburn or some other kind of injury, and then someone
accidentally touches you there?
You know, they don't know.
They don't know that you hurt your shoulder, and so they, you know, they grab you by the
arm.
They don't know.
They accidentally bump you because it's crowded.
They don't know.
You got a bad sunburn under those clothes, and someone doesn't know, and they grab you
in a big bear hug.
Ouch.
It's easy for other people's actions, even actions that are not purposely careless, even
actions that are not purposely vindictive or malicious, to hurt us when we are that
damaged.
You guys, this is especially important as you navigate dating and relationship with
the opposite sex, because I promise you, if you are still hurting in these areas, if you
are still fragile, you're still bruised, you're still touchy, you're going to get tweaked.
And it's going to be difficult for you to make connection, because offense is going
to make connection, because offense builds offense.
It disconnects.
It does not allow you to connect.
It builds offense.
There's a block.
There's a barrier.
I can't tell you how many times someone has come to me, they've posted, they've messaged
me, they've gotten on a coaching call with me and they have poured out their grievances
against someone that they were trying to get to know and you know what?
All of it was poppycock.
All of it was goofy, immature stuff because they are so offended, not by this person,
but just in life in general because of what they've been through that they cannot help
themselves from making a mountain out of a molehill.
They have their boxing gloves on and they're literally looking for a fight.
Or if you prefer, they have their running shoes on and they're looking for a reason
to run, run away, depending on if you're fight or flight.
Guys, we have to allow Holy Spirit to continue to heal this, but I want to say something
else very important.
It's important that you are conscious of what we're talking about right now, but you cannot
speed up the healing process.
You are still going to get offended, you are still going to be sensitive, you're going
to still feel fragile because you're healing and healing takes time, but you know what
you can do?
You can be conscious of your reactions and you don't have to allow your feelings to control
You're still going to feel offended, you're still going to feel hurt by something that
someone said carelessly, even though deep inside you know, I probably shouldn't be hurt
by that, I'm being silly, I'm overreacting, but that in itself can be a jab because you
were in an abusive relationship where you were gaslit all the time saying that your
feelings didn't matter and you were overreacting and you were making stuff up and you were
crazy.
So you see how we have to be very careful and let Holy Spirit show us what is worthy,
what is righteous indignation and what is just offense from previous abuse and pain.
Do you see what I'm saying?
We have to let Holy Spirit show us what are actual yellow possible red flags in relationship
with people because yes, we don't want to live offended, we don't, we don't want to
be fragile, we don't want to be touchy, we want to understand that this is not about
us and it's about them, but if it's about them, they might not be a safe person.
Do you see how there's a fine line there and we have to navigate that with Holy Spirit?
Let me tell you something and I'm not trying to offend anybody, but if I offend you, then
you need to ask Holy Spirit, you know, what lie you're believing because I love you and
I'm rooting for you, okay?
But the people that declare that their offense is justified because it's other person's dangerous,
a narcissist, the this, the that, those are usually the people that are the most unhealthy.
The people that are the most unhealthy are usually the ones that think everyone else
is abusive and dangerous and unhealthy, okay?
So here's a litmus test for you.
If all you meet are narcissists, okay, and you, you find out pretty quickly because now,
you know, you, you know what to look for and you see those red flags pretty quick about
their behavior and about their self absorption and all the things and that's all you ever
meet, then the common denominator of that is you, okay?
And I'm not saying you're attracting narcissists, what I'm saying is that's all you see because
you are hyper vigilant to keep yourself safe.
So I guess what we're asking in the Spirit tonight is, is that, is it narcissism or is
it the curse of self?
The self absorption that comes with trying to figure out this life, trying to make a
way for yourself, trying to do something to have purpose, to have destiny, there's a lot
of times I can say.
Just that could sound like straight up narcissism, right?
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
Right, so there's a lot of different things happening there
and I really believe that God's trying to help
some of you guys because you're scared of everyone
all the time because you've been in some abusive situations
and you're trying to keep yourself
from getting abused again,
but you're cutting off good people
that the only crime they've committed
is they talked about themselves a little too much.
And that's a problem that everybody has.
We're all constantly thinking about ourselves.
So how do we get to a place where we can go
into love doesn't seek its own?
Well, we can't do it on our own.
It has to be supernatural because yes,
we have been set free from the curse
and yet we still live with it.
Remember what Paul said?
He said, oh, who is gonna deliver me
from this man?
Who's he talking about?
He's talking about himself.
He's not talking about a separate man.
He's talking about how there are two dynamics
that live within him, the flesh and the spirit.
And we did a whole Supernatural Saturday on this,
you know, months and months and months ago.
Team spirit, team flesh.
Guys, we're always gonna live with this.
We are gonna always live with this.
But for those of you that are dealing with hopelessness,
for those of you that are dealing with depression
that's circumstantial and situational,
you gotta get your eyes off yourself
and you have to get them onto other people.
Ask Holy Spirit to show you someone who needs
whatever it is that you're depressed
about not having yourself and serve them.
I already told you guys the story
of when I was depressed and pregnant
with my youngest daughter, Reagan.
How I just wanted a friend
and specifically a pregnant friend.
And I was expecting God to answer my prayer
by catering to me and sending me someone,
someone who could lead me and guide me
and help me and pamper me and comfort me.
But instead, he used me to do that
for someone who was pregnant that was younger than I was,
that needed more than I did.
Do you guys see what I'm saying?
He answered my prayer by making me the friend.
You guys, he answered my prayer by making me the friend
that someone else needed.
But modern Christianity will tell us
that it's all about us and about what you want
and about your destiny and your callings
and what can you do that's amazing.
I can't tell you how many people have prophetic words
and I'm not saying that those words are not true.
We're gonna unpack those during our prophetic processing
time on path sessions for those of you
that are in that level of mentorship with us.
Path sessions are usually for phase three and up.
I may open it to everybody
because it's a really important subject.
I'm not saying you can't have grandiose words,
but have you guys ever noticed that everywhere we go,
that's all people give us prophetically is grandiose words?
You're gonna be famous.
You're gonna speak on stages and arenas
to thousands of people.
You're gonna have the best-selling book.
You're gonna, really?
We're all, you guys, when I first started out
in women's ministry 28 years ago,
I can't tell you how many women came to me
and said that God told them
that they were the next Joyce Meyer.
And then finally one day I said to God,
hey God, listen, are you telling all these women
that they're Joyce Meyer?
They're the next Joyce Meyer because they all think that
and how can they all be the next Joyce Meyer?
I was just legitimately confused
because these seemed like nice women
and they seemed like women that were normal and not crazy.
And so I had to just go ahead and believe in faith
that they really were hearing from God.
So it's like, Houston, we have a problem.
And you know what he said to me?
He said, Jackie, he said,
basically they're taking the word wrong
is what he said to me, number one.
Because when they say I'm the next Joyce Meyer,
what they're thinking is international ministry
and fame and books.
But what he really was saying to them
is that Joyce pulled herself up by her bootstraps
with the help of Holy Spirit
and she became a kinsman redeemer in her family line.
Amen?
And because there wasn't a lot of visible women
that had overcome as much as she had,
Joyce Meyer's father used to regularly have sex with her,
intercourse with her, y'all.
That woman should be in the psych ward or dead.
She should not.
be teaching the Bible.
So what God said to me is because there wasn't a lot of women who were visibly overcomers
the way Joyce was, that he was using that because you can't be it if you can't see it.
So it's time to reprocess a lot of the words we have because you guys, it isn't about whatever
we think it's about.
You would be better off waking up every day instead of asking God what your call to do,
ask God what he's doing and call shotgun.
Even if it's outside of your gift set.
I can't tell you how many times you guys, God has used me to do something that I did
not feel particularly gifted or equipped to do.
But I was just the only person in the moment and just willing, available.
If you want to live a supernatural life, it's about being available.
I just want to let you know that it really is because otherwise it just becomes about
us, right?
And you guys, it isn't that I just want to let you guys know this.
I feel this in my spirit really strong right now.
Someone needs to know this and I want you to, I want you to confess, put your hands
down.
Everybody, everybody put their hands down.
I want you to confess if this is you because God is going to give you some freedom tonight.
This just popped up in my spirit.
God is not a narcissist because what I'm saying right now, if you, if you listen to it through
the wrong filter, it makes it sound like we're nothing and he's everything and it's all about
him.
It's all about him.
And we're just here to, you know, to, to, to just be there at his beck and call and
his will.
And a lot of times his will doesn't serve us and you know, so if you have a hard time
believing that God is good, I want you to raise your hand and it's okay.
There's no judgment.
I used to feel that way too.
I mean so much about what we talk about in Christian circles literally makes God sound
like he is abusive.
But I want to take us back to the scripture that we started with.
Love doesn't seek its own.
You guys, do you realize that that's about God?
That scripture is about God because he doesn't just have love.
He is love.
And so while we're created in his image and we have the opportunity through Holy Spirit
to crucify this self-absorbed flesh and follow after what's more fulfilling.
Guys, I just want to tell you right now, nothing that I've ever done for myself or that has
been done for me has ever been more fulfilling than something that God has used me to help
make happen for somebody else.
You guys, it's the best drug you will ever have in your life to be part of somebody's
breakthrough just because you were available, just because you were willing.
That's why the Bible says it's better to give than to receive.
It's so powerful, okay?
But this scripture is about God.
Love doesn't seek its own, doesn't seek to be understood.
He seeks to understand, you guys, it's about him.
And so any religious rhetoric that tells you anything different, it's not true.
It's religion.
If we really see God through a different lens, it's because we see him through teaching theology
that's not real, that's not true, that's not accurate.
And so I want you to challenge those thoughts in the moment when they come with truth.
God's not trying to force me into things that don't make me quote-unquote happy.
I'm not here just to serve him at his beck and call and do whatever he wants.
And the only reason he created us in the first place is so that we would have to serve him
and love him regardless of what happens to us.
You guys, that's not true.
All of that are the effects of sin.
and the earth, the effects of the battle of good and evil,
all of that, all of that garbage is the consequences
of that, the wages of sin or death.
All of that is the consequences of that.
But in all of that, God so loved the world
that he sent his son, not to judge us,
but to sacrifice himself for us
so that we could be reconnected to a different reality.
And it's up to us to choose that reality daily.
And when we choose that reality daily,
we will also choose to be part of that reality daily,
which means we choose to be kingdom people,
to walk in the truth of who God is and what love looks like.
I'm telling you, it's a small life
to make it about yourself, a small life,
if it's just about you and what you need
and what you don't have and what you're mad about.
But if you wanna have a big life,
make it about others.
Make it about the lonely, make it about misunderstood,
make it about the unseen, the abandoned,
make it about them, and you will never live
an unfulfilled or unsatisfied day.
You never will.
You will not be depressed,
circumstantially or situationally.
You will wake up excited to put your feet on the ground
and to be part of some kind of kingdom assignment that day
that brings someone else breakthrough.
I remember, you guys, I remember what that's like.
It's easy to get into self-absorption.
It's easy to get into the flesh.
It's easy to get into these places
where all we can think about is ourselves.
It's easy to, but I remember when I first received
the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
every day I woke up about how can I help others today?
Lord, let me be in the right places at the right time
with the right words, with the right resources.
And every day was a miracle.
Every day was supernatural.
Every day was amazing.
Every day continued to show me that God is love.
Not only will other people feel loved by God through you,
but you will feel like God is love.
I told my husband today, I said,
babe, we gotta get back to living supernatural lives.
These natural lives suck.
They're so, they are depressing.
They're depressing.
Living in the natural is depressing.
It's always about deficit.
It's always about not enough.
It's always about problems.
It's always about worry.
It's always about waiting for something
that hasn't happened yet.
What if we were busy about our father's business?
There are so many people here.
Let me take it back to matchmaking for a second.
There are so many people here that you literally
are the key to someone else's love story.
You are the key to it.
You are the key.
You are the matchmaker.
You are the person that knows the person
that knows the person that knows their spirit mate.
It's you.
You are the first degree of separation.
It's you.
But you're so busy thinking about where your spirit mate is
that you can't allow yourself to play that part in the movie.
Are you guys picking up what we're laying down here,
me and Holy Spirit?
I hope so, because I definitely am.
But you guys, it means nothing if it's just words.
We've gotta activate this, right?
We do, we gotta activate it, right?
So I want you guys to pray into this.
I'm gonna pray over you and myself right now,
but then when you get off here, I want you to pray,
and I want you to ask God to give you the desire
to not live for yourself,
but to live for something much bigger,
to have a kingdom life every day,
not just once in a while, every day,
to have supernatural adventures with Jesus,
divine assignments.
I want that for you.
I want that for myself, and I'm telling you,
that is how you're gonna get connected
to the biggest breakthroughs in your life.
The biggest breakthroughs in your life
are gonna come from serving the Father.
You guys, I have lots of precedent.
Even in the area of your love lives,
look at all of the matches that God made
that said that he sent out his spirit,
he sent out his servant.
The Father sent out his blank to what?
Find a partner for the son.
There's several stories in the Bible,
and you will see that those women were.
always found serving their father.
They were always serving their father.
Rachel and Leah serving their father.
Rebecca serving her father.
That's not an accident, is it?
It's not.
So ladies, if you want a spirit mate,
a spirit mate, not a soulmate, not a fleshmate,
you want a spirit mate as a woman,
the best place to find one is in the service of your father.
He will find you.
I just had another success story the other day.
And she wrote, what did she say?
She said she was doing something.
She's doing some kind of mission strip
or some sort of thing that she felt led to do.
She said, and then boom, there he was.
There's another success story that I had.
She said, I just felt like God gave me an assignment
to go down for New Year's Eve to LA.
There was something that he wanted me to do there.
And I wasn't really sure what it was, but I went.
And I went and forget what she ended up doing there,
but she met this guy and now she's married to him.
What was she doing?
She was on assignment.
She was doing something she felt led to do.
And you guys, it doesn't have to be something bombastic
It doesn't have to be, oh, I sacrificed my life
and I'm over being a missionary in Iraq.
No, it doesn't have to be that.
It can just be, I felt led to take some croissants
to my neighbor because she just moved here
and I heard her say that she can't find any good croissants.
And so I knew a local bakery and I got some
and I took them to her.
And then at the bakery, you bump into your spirit mate.
Now being in the service of your father means
that you have a life that's not a deficit
because you're waiting for it to be filled with a husband.
You have a life that is full of the joy of the Lord
because you are busy about your father's business.
I want to present to all of you, gentlemen, you included
that the best things that this world has to offer
that are gifts from the father of lights from above
will find us and pursue us when we are
in our kingdom calling daily.
And every day it's gonna look different y'all.
Every day it's gonna look different.
Stop looking for one calling and one purpose.
Your purpose is to show this world what heaven looks like.
Your purpose is to show this world what it looks like
to be a son or daughter of God.
And if you wake up every day and you ask Holy Spirit
to let you do that today, to partner with you in that today
and you're gonna find yourself in some very unusual places
doing some very interesting things
and you are gonna be full of joy and excitement
and supernatural anticipation and revelation
every day of your life.
And it's gonna lead you to great places.
Father, we're so thankful.
We're so thankful that you have brought us here together
tonight and that you've taken us
on such a windy road tonight, Lord.
You've taken us from love doesn't seek its own
all the way to walking in a form
of supernatural kingdom identity and assignment
because truly our identity is hidden in you.
And every day we can seek it out and it can look different
and it can be exciting and it can be a thing
that is worth getting up in the morning for.
And so Lord, we thank you for that.
So all those that are dealing with depression, Lord,
I just feel it so strongly in my heart, God.
So many people that are just under a weight of despondency
and despair and depression.
Hope is trying to, they're trying to let go of hope, God.
They're trying to defer it, God.
I ask that you would help them not to defer it, Lord,
but to grab onto it even tighter,
to understand that it's not based on circumstances,
that it's based on them getting up every day
and grabbing a hold of it
and not only keeping it for themselves,
but sharing it with others.
Your word says that we should always be ready
to give other people an explanation of our hope.
And so Lord, I pray that hope, radical hope
would spring up in their hearts, God,
and they would nurture it every day, God.
Every day they would nurture it in the form
of sharing their supernatural assignment with others,
their identity with others, walking in the spirit, Lord.
And so Lord, we just thank you
for all of these things tonight.
I pray, God, that this time together
will bear fruit in our lives.
quickly, speedily, in Jesus name, amen.
All right.
I love y'all.
I'm going to get some sleep and I hope you guys do too.
I'll talk to you soon.
Bye everyone.
