1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.920
Good morning, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:09.600
If you're new, if you're brand new, we have some newbies.

3
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:14.600
This is the time where we as a community lean into the prophetic reality of heaven.

4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:18.240
What is God saying to us right now?

5
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:22.080
Not later, not tomorrow, not next week, because there'll be a new Supernatural Saturday next

6
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:23.080
week.

7
00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:25.160
Right now, what does God want us to know?

8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.920
And this morning, as soon as I woke up, the Lord said, it's time to let go.

9
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.040
New beginnings require endings.

10
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:34.280
Come on, y'all.

11
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:35.280
We're going to really dig into this.

12
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.960
There's going to be a lot of activation today, so get ready to activate.

13
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:38.960
Get ready to share.

14
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.000
Get ready to type in the chat, because we are going to be activating during this call

15
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.800
this morning.

16
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:48.280
Tomorrow night, we have our All-Community Prophetic Night.

17
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:49.280
We have that once a month.

18
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.080
It's usually the last Sunday of the month, and so that's tomorrow night.

19
00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:54.180
Make sure that you're there.

20
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:58.300
We're going to be heading into Rosh Hashanah.

21
00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:00.260
Rosh Hashanah is this coming week.

22
00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:01.260
What does that mean?

23
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:05.780
That means, Rosh means head, and then Shana means of the year, so it's the head of the

24
00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:06.780
year.

25
00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:12.020
It is the beginning or the New Year celebration of the Hebraic calendar, which I happen to

26
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:13.540
believe is God's calendar.

27
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:15.540
It's the first calendar, y'all.

28
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:22.340
It is the first calendar of God's timing and of His seasons, and so I really do pay

29
00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:27.660
a lot of attention to what's going on, and it always overlaps with our year as well.

30
00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:30.140
So we're in the year 2024 right now.

31
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:37.020
We are overlapping with the Hebraic years 5784 and 5785, because we're going to head

32
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:40.380
into 5785 this coming week.

33
00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:42.900
I think it's October 2nd through the 4th.

34
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:48.180
So next Saturday, Supernatural Saturday, I'm going to talk to us about our times and seasons

35
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:53.220
and about what does that year mean, and what is God speaking to us through those numbers?

36
00:01:53.220 --> 00:01:55.620
What is He saying to us?

37
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:58.340
Because God lets us know what He's doing.

38
00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:01.620
I know a lot of people are like, oh, God's just a mystery.

39
00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:06.300
Well, there are mysteries, but God invites us to unlock those mysteries.

40
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:09.380
We're not going to know everything while we're wearing this earth suit.

41
00:02:09.380 --> 00:02:10.380
It's true.

42
00:02:10.380 --> 00:02:11.620
We're not going to know everything.

43
00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:16.460
Some things are going to be right, just right, a little bit out of sight for us, but you

44
00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:19.260
can know a lot more than you know now.

45
00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:22.580
You can have a lot more clarity, a lot more direction, a lot more instruction than you

46
00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.100
have now.

47
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:25.780
So don't just be like, oh, I don't know.

48
00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:27.740
You know, God's ways are higher than our ways.

49
00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:28.740
His thoughts are higher.

50
00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:29.740
Yes.

51
00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:34.140
Did you know that it's impossible for God to think like you?

52
00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:35.660
Because He sees the big picture.

53
00:02:35.660 --> 00:02:40.740
That's why it's very difficult for God to get into our pity parties with us, because

54
00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:42.700
God already knows.

55
00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:44.380
He knows all.

56
00:02:44.380 --> 00:02:45.380
He's omniscient.

57
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:50.040
So it's really important that we understand that when the Scripture says that His ways

58
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:55.700
are higher and His thoughts are higher, that's an invitation for us to come higher.

59
00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:59.700
It's not just a, oh, well, you know, you can't think like God.

60
00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:03.420
No, we actually can have the mind of Christ.

61
00:03:03.420 --> 00:03:05.220
We can.

62
00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:10.500
And so we're going to talk a little bit about that next week as we come into this beautiful

63
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:11.620
new year.

64
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:13.300
And what is God saying to us?

65
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.540
What does God want to do in our lives?

66
00:03:15.540 --> 00:03:20.980
This is a very supernatural month, October, very supernatural month, because it starts

67
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:25.300
out with that introduction into the new year.

68
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:29.580
And then it goes into what the Jews call the days of atonement.

69
00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:30.580
Okay.

70
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:36.140
The days of awe, where we're invited into a place of introspection and repentance.

71
00:03:36.140 --> 00:03:40.940
We're invited to really take a look at what hasn't been working in our lives and really

72
00:03:40.940 --> 00:03:45.580
invite God into those places so that we can have an abundant new year.

73
00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:50.580
And then it ends with Yom Kippur, which is the day of repentance and atonement, where

74
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:52.940
we just let go of all of those things.

75
00:03:52.940 --> 00:04:00.240
And so we're going to start out right now on this Saturday with, it's time to let go.

76
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.740
New beginnings require endings.

77
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:04.460
Guys, I'm just going to be honest with you.

78
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:07.660
New beginnings are not for the faint of heart because they don't just require endings.

79
00:04:07.660 --> 00:04:10.340
They require funerals.

80
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:12.500
All right.

81
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:14.440
They require funerals.

82
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:20.820
They require you to take the bodies out of your trunk and bury them.

83
00:04:20.820 --> 00:04:23.460
You've been carrying a lot of stuff around with you for a long time.

84
00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:27.980
I see several of you are actually driving your cars with your bodies in your trunk.

85
00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.860
I see you behind the wheel of your car right now.

86
00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.700
I see you.

87
00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:36.980
It's time you guys.

88
00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:39.620
We cannot carry this stuff around with us anymore.

89
00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:42.260
Did you know that there was an ancient torture practice?

90
00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:45.220
Guys, I know I know a lot of things.

91
00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:51.460
I know a lot of things, a lot of very weird things because I read a lot and I used to

92
00:04:51.460 --> 00:04:56.420
read even more back in the day when I had more time.

93
00:04:56.420 --> 00:05:00.100
But one of the ancient punishment practices of the ancient world.

94
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:11.240
world was that when you were convicted of whatever crime, that the penalty was death.

95
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.440
So you were convicted of a crime and the penalty is death.

96
00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:19.080
In some ancient cultures, they would tie a corpse to you.

97
00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:25.880
They would actually put a dead person on your back, around your body, and they would shackle

98
00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:31.320
that dead weight, that dead person to you.

99
00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:39.400
And what would happen is, is as that person decomposed, it would kill you.

100
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:45.280
You would die because you were literally carrying something dead on you.

101
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:48.560
Do you guys hear what I'm saying?

102
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.320
And do you see the typology of that?

103
00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:56.760
Do you see the typology of what happens when we carry around dead stuff?

104
00:05:56.760 --> 00:06:02.600
But some of y'all have taken Jesus's words out of context.

105
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.000
He said, you know, go out and preach the gospel to the, to the small and to the great and

106
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.280
cast out demons and raise the dead.

107
00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:18.560
And you took that literally and every thing in your life that's trying to die off, every

108
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.680
single thing that you should have just let die, you've been signing a, do not recess,

109
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.600
you've been signing a resuscitate order on.

110
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.320
You keep trying to raise it from the dead, raise it from the dead, raise it from the

111
00:06:30.320 --> 00:06:31.320
dead.

112
00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:33.920
You got to sign the DNR, friends.

113
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.160
Do not resuscitate this thing.

114
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.580
Let it die.

115
00:06:38.580 --> 00:06:39.800
Let that friendship die.

116
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.000
That person ain't been a good friend to you in years.

117
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.620
Why do you keep calling them trying to get together?

118
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.620
Do you want a good friend?

119
00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:56.180
Because if you want a good friend, you're going to have to let go of that not good friend.

120
00:06:56.180 --> 00:06:58.820
But you don't understand, Jackie, we've known each other since kindergarten.

121
00:06:58.820 --> 00:06:59.820
All right.

122
00:06:59.820 --> 00:07:03.060
Well, that's been too long.

123
00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:07.180
You've known each other too long.

124
00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.180
You're lonely.

125
00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:11.300
You don't have anyone to do anything with.

126
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:14.660
And the reason why is because you're trying to hold on to relationships that don't fulfill

127
00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:15.660
you.

128
00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:17.420
They're dead, friends.

129
00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:18.860
I know it's sad.

130
00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:21.620
Let's have a little funeral for it.

131
00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:27.880
Let's pay our respects and let's move on.

132
00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:31.720
That idea that God gave you a long time ago, it was a good idea.

133
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.260
It was a really good idea, okay?

134
00:07:34.260 --> 00:07:42.540
And you tried to make it work and it worked a little bit, but it didn't have the wow factor

135
00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:45.280
that you were looking for.

136
00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:48.520
And every once in a while, you circle back around to maybe I should try again.

137
00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:50.380
Well, maybe you shouldn't.

138
00:07:50.380 --> 00:07:53.520
Maybe you need a new idea.

139
00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:57.960
Maybe that idea was just your training wheels on the bike.

140
00:07:57.960 --> 00:07:58.960
That's all.

141
00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:03.120
That idea was just to get you out of the garage, get you moving down the street.

142
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:04.120
That's all that idea was.

143
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.200
You guys, I have a hundred good ideas before breakfast, okay?

144
00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:10.760
Can't go after all of them.

145
00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:12.480
Some of them are God ideas though.

146
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.560
How do you know?

147
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:14.560
You don't know.

148
00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:17.360
You don't know until you throw it against the wall and see what sticks.

149
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.440
And if it doesn't stick, then you throw another one against the wall.

150
00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:25.360
There will be times when God lets you know that you need to persevere in a certain lane,

151
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:26.520
and that's cool.

152
00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:35.480
But a lot of times, it's just you trying something new that is the point.

153
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:42.039
And as you try new things, you realize I don't really like that as much as I thought I would.

154
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.720
But this over here, I didn't ever think that I would like this.

155
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.580
I was just reading through some success stories of our students today, people that have met

156
00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:50.880
and gotten married.

157
00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:54.240
And one lady wrote, this city girl is marrying a farmer.

158
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.760
Jackie, I never thought this would ever happen.

159
00:08:58.760 --> 00:09:04.680
Sometimes you don't know what you like, and you will never know what you like if you don't

160
00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:06.960
start trying new things.

161
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:14.560
But we can't try new things if we are so consumed and so cluttered with everything

162
00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.560
old.

163
00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:16.560
Amen?

164
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:24.400
Now, before you get out the matches and you start burning bridges down, right?

165
00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:25.400
Don't do that.

166
00:09:25.400 --> 00:09:31.640
There are some of you that have some harder relationships and some harder assignments,

167
00:09:31.640 --> 00:09:33.920
and it isn't time to give up on that stuff yet.

168
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:36.200
So don't be saying, Jackie gave me permission to give up.

169
00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:41.280
If you have a check in your heart that you know that that thing is not dead yet, okay?

170
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.240
Yes, it might be on life support.

171
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:49.520
And yes, you might really want to pull the plug.

172
00:09:49.520 --> 00:09:53.400
But Holy Spirit's like, no, it's not time yet.

173
00:09:53.400 --> 00:09:55.840
It's not time yet.

174
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.520
There's a timing with things.

175
00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:00.040
But everything else, you guys, things...

176
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.320
that have not, they haven't been bearing fruit for years,

177
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.040
whether they're relationships, activities, assignments,

178
00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:11.000
it's time for a new one, and you can't get a new one

179
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.880
if you keep messing around with the old ones,

180
00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:14.280
and so it's time to let go.

181
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.180
So our call this morning is gonna be about letting go.

182
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.320
Letting go, I want you to close your eyes right now

183
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.720
if you can, for those of you that I see

184
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.800
are behind the wheel of a car,

185
00:10:23.800 --> 00:10:25.620
please do not close your eyes.

186
00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:28.000
Everybody else, close your eyes.

187
00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:34.400
I want you to picture yourself with clenched fists,

188
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:38.520
and within those clenched fists are all the things

189
00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:43.200
that you're holding onto, all the thoughts, ideas, dreams,

190
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.180
people, places, things, activities, assignments,

191
00:10:47.180 --> 00:10:50.400
that have not been bearing fruit for a long time.

192
00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:54.280
They have not brought any joy, any peace,

193
00:10:54.280 --> 00:10:57.680
any satisfaction for a very, very long time.

194
00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:01.640
They're dormant at best, they're dead at worst,

195
00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:05.960
and I want you to picture yourself opening up those hands

196
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.600
and letting it go, letting those things go,

197
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:14.160
like when you blow a dandelion and all the seeds just go,

198
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:16.320
I want you to see those things just flying

199
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:17.420
out of your hands.

200
00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:23.120
I want you to name those things

201
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.720
as they're leaving your hands.

202
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:30.380
I want you to say in your heart right now, inside,

203
00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:32.580
I want you to say inside,

204
00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.640
and then let it come out of your mouth to the outside,

205
00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:38.320
I'm letting go, God, I'm letting go.

206
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.720
Let your heart first come into agreement with that,

207
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.960
and let your heart speak out of your mouth, out loud,

208
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:45.960
God, I'm letting go,

209
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.680
and then just start filling in what those things are.

210
00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:50.280
Just start saying what they are.

211
00:11:51.800 --> 00:11:53.720
And if you wanna chat, if you wanna chat them up,

212
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.160
if you wanna put them in the chat,

213
00:11:55.160 --> 00:11:56.680
just start letting them go.

214
00:11:56.680 --> 00:11:58.120
I'm gonna give us a specific list

215
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.400
of things we can let go of,

216
00:11:59.400 --> 00:12:01.520
but right now I want you just to let go of the things

217
00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:04.880
that were in your hands that you can see right now

218
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:05.920
in your mind's eye.

219
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.680
Start telling us, what is it?

220
00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:09.920
What are you letting go?

221
00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:14.500
What's being released right now from your hands to God?

222
00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:17.620
I'm not gonna hold onto this anymore.

223
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.360
I'm not gonna try to make this work anymore.

224
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:29.320
I'm not, not gonna beat this dead horse anymore.

225
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:33.280
Letting it go.

226
00:12:38.380 --> 00:12:40.480
Not gonna volunteer at this place anymore.

227
00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:43.160
I know you'll open the door for a new place

228
00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:44.240
for me to volunteer.

229
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.520
This hasn't brought me joy for a long time,

230
00:12:46.520 --> 00:12:49.000
not seeing any fruit in this anymore.

231
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.880
I'm not gonna try to get this person's attention anymore,

232
00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:55.000
whether it's a parent or a sibling or a friend.

233
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.300
There are people that wanna be in my life.

234
00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:59.480
There are people that wanna do things with me

235
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:01.480
that are gonna enjoy my company.

236
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:02.680
I'm not gonna go,

237
00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:05.160
I'm not gonna go to this spiritual community anymore.

238
00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:06.440
I've been going here for 10 years

239
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.720
and I still haven't found any friends here.

240
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.120
I don't have any community here.

241
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.120
I'm not getting anything.

242
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.640
I don't feel fed.

243
00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:14.820
I feel hungry when I leave this place.

244
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.160
This place is not bringing me any satisfaction.

245
00:13:19.160 --> 00:13:21.000
Father, I need you to open the door.

246
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.320
I need to let go of this so you can open a new door for me.

247
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.160
Come on.

248
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.120
Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go.

249
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.520
So you guys, just recently I was on a lot of planes,

250
00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:46.880
as you know,

251
00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:51.000
and one of those interesting things

252
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.480
that I have learned over the course of my life

253
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.680
has been how planes fly.

254
00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:56.960
And it's brought a lot of peace to me

255
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.640
because if you've ever looked at a plane,

256
00:13:59.640 --> 00:14:01.120
you're sitting, you're in the airport,

257
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.960
you're looking out the window,

258
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.560
you're seeing this big, huge hunk of metal

259
00:14:03.560 --> 00:14:04.920
and you're thinking to yourself,

260
00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:08.080
how in the world is that gonna go up 35,000 feet?

261
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.360
It's so heavy.

262
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.600
How does it get up there?

263
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.700
And what happens is gravity.

264
00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:18.060
Gravity, although gravity is meant

265
00:14:18.060 --> 00:14:19.740
to keep things on the ground,

266
00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:23.180
gravity works with the design of the airplane

267
00:14:23.180 --> 00:14:25.020
to keep it airborne.

268
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:26.460
So basically what's happening is,

269
00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:29.020
is the jet engines are propelling it forward

270
00:14:29.020 --> 00:14:31.140
and the design of the wings are causing it

271
00:14:31.140 --> 00:14:34.540
to be able to get air, to get lift.

272
00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:37.740
And then gravity, that opposing force

273
00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:40.820
is actually what keeps it up in the air

274
00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:42.180
with those other two factors.

275
00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:44.460
So when you have all those factors together,

276
00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:46.100
you have flight.

277
00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:47.660
Isn't that interesting?

278
00:14:47.660 --> 00:14:49.180
And so God wants you to know this morning

279
00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:51.840
that the opposing forces cannot keep you grounded.

280
00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:56.500
If you have the right ingredients,

281
00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:59.100
which, you know, God wants to give you,

282
00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:00.180
the opposing forces.

283
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.840
will actually cause you to fly.

284
00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:04.900
Isn't that interesting?

285
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:07.720
I know that we think,

286
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.440
oh, I'm only gonna have success when there's no opposition.

287
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.400
That's not true.

288
00:15:13.880 --> 00:15:15.440
And so I was on this plane just recently

289
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.540
and I was, oh, I wanted to get home, you guys.

290
00:15:17.540 --> 00:15:20.300
20 hours plus of travel that day

291
00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:22.760
and I just really wanted to get home to my own bed

292
00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:24.420
and I was really excited to get home

293
00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:26.080
and the flight was delayed because of rain

294
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:27.480
and this and that happened.

295
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.160
And then we finally get on the plane.

296
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.840
The end is in sight.

297
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.040
Finally on the plane thinking, okay,

298
00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:34.900
got four more hours and we're gonna be home

299
00:15:34.900 --> 00:15:36.000
and we're just sitting there.

300
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.400
We're sitting there, we're sitting there.

301
00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:39.480
And finally the pilot and I just,

302
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.880
the pilot's not even in the cockpit.

303
00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:41.860
He's just standing there,

304
00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:43.560
just yucking it up with the stewardesses

305
00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:45.800
and I'm like, we're not going anywhere, anywhere soon.

306
00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:48.200
Anytime soon, we're not going anywhere.

307
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.080
And then he gets on the little CB, little speaker

308
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:56.080
and he says, hey guys, sorry, but we needed to refuel

309
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:01.360
and then we refueled and then they over-fueled us.

310
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.380
So now we're taking fuel off the plane.

311
00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:08.800
So we didn't have enough fuel

312
00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:10.320
and so they came to give us fuel

313
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.200
and then they gave us too much fuel.

314
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.920
And it's just like, well, okay, so what?

315
00:16:14.920 --> 00:16:16.860
So the gas tank's full, let's go.

316
00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:19.920
Who cares, let's burn it off later, right?

317
00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:21.560
No, it has to do with weight.

318
00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:23.400
Did you guys know that?

319
00:16:23.400 --> 00:16:25.200
It has to do with weight.

320
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.800
They only put as much fuel on the airplane

321
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:31.360
as is needed for the actual flight.

322
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.000
That's why they weigh your bags.

323
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.240
That's why your bags are only supposed to be a certain amount.

324
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.480
I know we're like, oh, they weigh our bags

325
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.720
because they want to charge us extra money.

326
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.840
No, they need to know how much weight is on this plane.

327
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.200
That's why sometimes they'll come down the aisle

328
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.000
and they'll make you switch seats

329
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.640
if all the tickets were bought on a certain side

330
00:16:53.640 --> 00:16:55.960
of the plane or a certain place in the plane,

331
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.400
all the cheap tickets in the back,

332
00:16:57.400 --> 00:16:59.000
they'll have people move forward.

333
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.200
This is because what are they doing?

334
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.480
They're redistributing the weight of the plane.

335
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.720
And this is why if they run into something up in the air

336
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.079
where they can't land because the runway's not clear

337
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.859
or this has happened or whether,

338
00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:14.400
this is why they end up diverting

339
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.160
and landing at a different airport

340
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:18.119
or even sometimes turning back around

341
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.400
and going back to the airport they've come from

342
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.680
because they only have so much fuel.

343
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.560
Because of what reason?

344
00:17:26.560 --> 00:17:27.640
Because of weight.

345
00:17:29.080 --> 00:17:32.760
And so now they're balancing us out so that we can take off.

346
00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:34.720
And of course, God begins to talk to me

347
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.840
because you guys, if we want to fly, come on.

348
00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:41.800
If we want to fly, we have to let go of everything

349
00:17:41.800 --> 00:17:45.120
that is holding us back, weighing us down

350
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:46.500
and keeping us grounded.

351
00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:47.780
We are too heavy.

352
00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:50.980
We're too heavy.

353
00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:55.140
And some of you have actually been dealing with heaviness.

354
00:17:56.780 --> 00:17:57.940
I want you to raise your hand right now

355
00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:59.780
if you've been dealing with heaviness.

356
00:17:59.780 --> 00:18:02.080
And I'm not talking about on the scale.

357
00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:03.780
I'm talking about in your spirit.

358
00:18:05.820 --> 00:18:07.320
Come on, let's see those hands.

359
00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:17.320
Come on.

360
00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:36.020
I see one of our sisters saying that being a nurse

361
00:18:36.020 --> 00:18:38.300
has not brought her joy in years.

362
00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:41.160
And so take that gift of caring for others,

363
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:45.740
people that are drawn into helping professions

364
00:18:45.780 --> 00:18:50.780
like social work, nursing, even teaching at some level.

365
00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:55.980
Take that gift that God has given you

366
00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:57.940
and apply it to something different.

367
00:18:58.800 --> 00:19:01.380
I know you went to school and you did all the things

368
00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:03.460
and you paid all the money.

369
00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.900
I get it.

370
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:07.520
But at the same time, we have to live with joy.

371
00:19:09.800 --> 00:19:11.940
God wants us to live with joy and excitement,

372
00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:14.740
anticipation for the things that we put our hands to.

373
00:19:15.580 --> 00:19:18.460
I have a friend right now who is a first grade teacher.

374
00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:20.060
She's a good friend of mine.

375
00:19:20.060 --> 00:19:23.020
And she's been a first grade teacher for over 10 years

376
00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:25.740
and it no longer brings her joy.

377
00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:28.620
The rules in the classroom, the public school system,

378
00:19:28.620 --> 00:19:30.900
even the charter school system,

379
00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:32.700
the level of parenting that's going into

380
00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:36.060
these children's lives, the level of neglect

381
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:38.700
and behavior problems that she has to deal with

382
00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:39.580
in her students.

383
00:19:39.580 --> 00:19:43.020
And this is a good school system.

384
00:19:43.020 --> 00:19:44.580
She just doesn't bring her joy.

385
00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.260
She doesn't want to do that.

386
00:19:46.260 --> 00:19:47.080
So you know what she started doing?

387
00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:48.900
She started taking her creativity.

388
00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:50.940
What drove her to be a first grade teacher

389
00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:54.940
is she's very creative, really good at arts and crafts

390
00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:57.300
and imagination type of things.

391
00:19:57.300 --> 00:20:00.140
So she took her creative gifts and she started making.

392
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000
the prettiest, most intricate cookies.

393
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.920
Like you need cookies for a party,

394
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.400
special event or whatever.

395
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.660
I mean, the prettiest cookies I think I've ever seen.

396
00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:17.360
And she's starting a little business.

397
00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:20.160
She's starting to use her creative talents

398
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.360
in a different way besides just in the classroom

399
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:23.200
of first graders.

400
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.160
Why is that?

401
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.880
Because it's not bringing her joy.

402
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.080
And so sometimes there has to be

403
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.480
a,

404
00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:35.760
you know, we can't just pull the Band-Aid off.

405
00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:38.720
So our friend here says, I don't enjoy being a nurse.

406
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.420
Well, maybe she can't just quit being a nurse tomorrow,

407
00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:43.040
but she can start walking.

408
00:20:43.040 --> 00:20:45.000
There can be a transitional time

409
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.800
where she's walking towards using her helping gifts

410
00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:49.400
in a different way.

411
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.640
And until that fully manifests in an opportunity

412
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.020
in which she can support herself through,

413
00:20:55.020 --> 00:20:56.720
she's gonna have to kind of double dip.

414
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.040
She's gonna have to do both at the same time.

415
00:20:59.040 --> 00:21:01.160
Guys, don't be afraid of that.

416
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:05.960
I can't tell you how much time in my life

417
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.440
I was working on things that I did not really enjoy

418
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:11.480
because it was provision on the way to the vision.

419
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.860
And I'm still in that.

420
00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:16.280
I'm still doing some things that I don't wanna do

421
00:21:16.280 --> 00:21:19.080
so that I can do other things that I wanna do later.

422
00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:23.560
So you guys, we're heavy and it's time for us to let go.

423
00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:25.320
For those of you that raised your hands

424
00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:28.000
that I've just have heaviness on me.

425
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.280
The Bible talks about that.

426
00:21:30.280 --> 00:21:31.640
It talks about what?

427
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:36.920
Talks about putting on a garment of praise

428
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:38.380
for the spirit of heaviness.

429
00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:41.040
I really wanna encourage you

430
00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:42.760
that are dealing with spiritual heaviness,

431
00:21:42.760 --> 00:21:45.360
emotional heaviness, mental heaviness.

432
00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:48.800
I wanna encourage you to put on that garment of praise.

433
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:51.640
Put on that music.

434
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.400
Get yourself in the book of Psalms, find some praise Psalms,

435
00:21:57.800 --> 00:21:59.120
not the melancholy ones,

436
00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:03.200
but the ones that are full of joy and exuberance.

437
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.840
The ones that are full of praise and exhortation

438
00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:09.640
and begin to read those out loud over yourself.

439
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.880
Find some scriptures within those books

440
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.300
and write them down on note cards and carry them with you.

441
00:22:15.300 --> 00:22:17.120
I will make a joyful noise.

442
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.600
Begin to praise.

443
00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:24.040
And you're like, well, I don't really have much

444
00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:25.600
to praise God for right now.

445
00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:27.120
Come on, yes you do.

446
00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:29.600
You're alive right now, you're breathing, aren't you?

447
00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:31.400
You guys, when I was laying in bed this morning

448
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.720
before I got up, before I opened the curtains,

449
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:36.840
thankfulness came over me.

450
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.980
I began to thank God for the things

451
00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:42.420
that he's done in my life.

452
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:44.840
Instead of looking at everything

453
00:22:44.840 --> 00:22:46.880
that isn't the way that I wanted it to be,

454
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:49.800
I started looking at all the things that used to be

455
00:22:50.760 --> 00:22:54.600
not the way I wanted them to be that are now good.

456
00:22:58.120 --> 00:23:01.360
And so that's the first thing on our let go list today,

457
00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:02.200
y'all.

458
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.840
You can write these down if you want to.

459
00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:06.200
You can come back and listen to the replay

460
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.320
and write it down later.

461
00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:08.920
Let go of negativity.

462
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.880
Guys, we're letting go today.

463
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:13.040
It's time to let go.

464
00:23:13.040 --> 00:23:14.320
The things that are keeping us heavy,

465
00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:16.720
holding us back, keeping us grounded.

466
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.120
And one of the biggest ones

467
00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:20.680
is we have to let go of negativity.

468
00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:23.320
We have to let go of it.

469
00:23:23.320 --> 00:23:25.000
You guys, negativity, being negative

470
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.000
has never changed your life for the better.

471
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.960
Complaining, grumbling,

472
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.240
it has not ever changed your life for the better.

473
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.360
It might feel good in the moment

474
00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:40.420
to be all upset and negative,

475
00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:42.480
but it actually is just perpetuating

476
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.040
that heaviness on your heart.

477
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.720
It's not making it go away.

478
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:48.780
It's actually causing it to go deeper.

479
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.880
And so even if you don't feel like,

480
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.520
you're like, well, Jackie, this is the way I feel.

481
00:23:54.520 --> 00:23:55.460
Okay, great.

482
00:23:57.320 --> 00:23:58.520
You have your feelings.

483
00:23:58.520 --> 00:24:00.040
Your feelings don't have you.

484
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:04.360
We can't side with our feelings.

485
00:24:04.360 --> 00:24:06.120
Our feelings don't get to vote.

486
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.080
We have to grab a hold of faith

487
00:24:12.080 --> 00:24:15.480
and you have to speak what you know is true

488
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.760
deep in your heart through faith,

489
00:24:17.760 --> 00:24:19.800
not just what your circumstances

490
00:24:19.800 --> 00:24:22.280
are dictating through your feelings.

491
00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:23.880
Okay, we'll do a whole different

492
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.840
Supernatural Saturday on that someday.

493
00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:27.600
But today we're gonna let go of negativity.

494
00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:31.400
So let go of the ideas of nothing ever goes right,

495
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.240
all the whining, all the complaining.

496
00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:35.600
I know a lot of us say this,

497
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:38.440
but we say things like this is how it's always gonna be.

498
00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:42.640
Nothing ever changes.

499
00:24:44.080 --> 00:24:47.920
Guys, these are negative confessions.

500
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:50.840
And so in order to lighten up so that we can fly,

501
00:24:50.840 --> 00:24:52.980
we have to let go of this heavy load.

502
00:24:53.860 --> 00:24:57.460
And when those sayings come to your heart

503
00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:58.620
and out of your mouth,

504
00:24:58.620 --> 00:25:00.820
because the out of the abundance of the heart.

505
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.960
the mouth speaks, realize that you have some hard work to do.

506
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:05.560
When those things come out of your mouth,

507
00:25:07.280 --> 00:25:08.640
when you hear yourself,

508
00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:14.000
you have to immediately ask yourself, why do I feel this way?

509
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:15.760
Why do I feel like nothing's ever going to change?

510
00:25:16.040 --> 00:25:17.880
Why do I feel like nothing's ever going to go right?

511
00:25:20.520 --> 00:25:22.040
You guys, I post success stories.

512
00:25:22.040 --> 00:25:23.680
Let's just talk about marriage for one second.

513
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:26.280
I post success stories on my Instagram all the time.

514
00:25:26.560 --> 00:25:28.560
By the way, for those of you that follow me on Instagram,

515
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:31.680
please don't pay attention to the things that I post there.

516
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:35.440
If they're different than the things that you hear about in your program pages,

517
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.840
like on the app, on the platforms in the program,

518
00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:41.400
because those people are not my students.

519
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.600
And so I might be saying something different to them.

520
00:25:43.800 --> 00:25:47.880
I might be posting a private client so that I can get more people, you know,

521
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.480
to possibly, you know, introduce that person to,

522
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:54.640
there could be all different types of things that I'm doing over on my public

523
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.200
social media. Please don't pay attention to that.

524
00:25:57.280 --> 00:26:00.600
If it is in any kind of,

525
00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:05.800
if it's different than, if it's in opposition to anything in the platform,

526
00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:08.360
because it just means that it's something completely different and it doesn't

527
00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:09.880
matter. Okay.

528
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.760
But I post success stories over there all the time.

529
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:14.360
And I was thinking to myself,

530
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.520
you would think all these success stories would draw a lot more people in

531
00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:20.920
because it's like, Hey, if it can happen for this person, it can happen for me.

532
00:26:21.760 --> 00:26:24.520
You would think that street cred and success,

533
00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:28.120
all the supernatural success that that would, that would, you know,

534
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:31.760
that would be a big thing, but it's not. And you know why it's not?

535
00:26:31.760 --> 00:26:32.880
Cause this is what God told me.

536
00:26:33.120 --> 00:26:37.800
He said people believe that good things can happen to other

537
00:26:37.800 --> 00:26:41.080
people. They just don't believe good things can happen to them.

538
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.040
Come on, y'all. Let's stay there for just a second.

539
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:53.720
People believe that good things can happen to others. They don't deny that.

540
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:58.040
They know good things happen to other people all the time. Someone gets healed.

541
00:26:58.120 --> 00:27:00.680
Someone gets a breakthrough. Someone gets married,

542
00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:03.560
but they just don't believe that that someone is going to be them.

543
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.720
Everyone take your hands down. You have your hand up, put it down.

544
00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:14.840
All right. I want you to raise your hand. Honestly,

545
00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:18.560
if you're one of the people that really truly believe that God is good to others

546
00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:19.960
and that he is going to,

547
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.840
he's going to show up in other people's lives and give them what they need.

548
00:27:22.840 --> 00:27:26.160
But you do not necessarily believe that that person's going to be you.

549
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:28.240
Come on, get honest.

550
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.880
I want you to raise your hand.

551
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.280
Honestly, if you're one of the people that really,

552
00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:40.480
truly believe that God is good to others and that he is going to,

553
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.400
come on, come on, come on. And you guys, that's usually rooted in something.

554
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.680
It's rooted in a disappointment. You came to God, you needed something,

555
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.080
and it didn't happen. Whether it was somebody's healing,

556
00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:57.080
it might've been your own healing. Maybe it was a situation where, you know,

557
00:27:57.120 --> 00:27:59.920
you were trusting God for some kind of supernatural provision,

558
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:02.800
financial this or that, or whatever, and it didn't happen.

559
00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:07.720
You were in a bad situation in your life.

560
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.480
You were in a bad situation and you needed deliverance and in your mind,

561
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.200
it didn't happen. Come on.

562
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.240
So it's rooted somewhere.

563
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.960
And so I want you to really take inventory as you're,

564
00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:27.680
as you're pruning. Okay. You guys, by the way, you don't prune in the fall.

565
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:32.240
October is not a good month to prune. Like if you're, you know, a plant person,

566
00:28:33.040 --> 00:28:36.000
trees, bushes, you know, foliage, all the things,

567
00:28:36.520 --> 00:28:37.680
unless it's dead.

568
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.760
The only kind of pruning the experts will tell you to do in the fall,

569
00:28:42.760 --> 00:28:44.520
like in October right now,

570
00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:48.600
unless you live in a really cold climate where it's already winter in October.

571
00:28:48.840 --> 00:28:50.920
But if it's fall climate where you live,

572
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:55.920
the only kind of pruning that is allowed in October is dead stuff.

573
00:28:57.600 --> 00:29:01.480
And so you guys, as we're doing this inventory in our lives,

574
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.600
so we can cut off dead weight.

575
00:29:04.280 --> 00:29:09.280
Those of you that really have a hard time believing that God's going to ever do

576
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.520
anything good in your life. You have to get down to the root of that.

577
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.760
It is rooted in a disappointment. It is.

578
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.320
It is rooted in somewhere where you feel like God failed you.

579
00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:22.760
And the Bible says that love can't fail. And remember, God is love.

580
00:29:22.760 --> 00:29:26.200
He doesn't just have love. He is love, which means God can't fail.

581
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:31.720
So whatever it was that didn't happen the way that you wanted it to happen,

582
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.920
it was not a failure of God. It was not,

583
00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:40.880
it was not a breakdown of heaven's response system.

584
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.280
It wasn't.

585
00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:48.280
I know we want to believe that because we go to churches that are naming and

586
00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:51.280
claiming and blabbing and grabbing. If we speak it, then it's going to happen.

587
00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:54.240
And God has to do it. If we have the faith for it, you guys,

588
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:55.680
that's not the way it works.

589
00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:59.840
Remember how we started out this Supernatural Saturday with

590
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.720
talking about how God's ways are higher

591
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:03.240
and his thoughts are higher.

592
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.880
God sees big pictures, okay?

593
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:09.900
He doesn't see small keyholes like we do.

594
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.080
When we pray, a lot of times we are praying

595
00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:19.780
in direct opposition of what would be best in a situation.

596
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:22.420
But we have come into agreement

597
00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:25.500
with so many humanistic ideas

598
00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:28.460
when it comes to faith, prayer,

599
00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:31.640
the character of God.

600
00:30:32.520 --> 00:30:34.540
And so all of those layers have to get pulled back

601
00:30:34.540 --> 00:30:36.260
and it's not fun.

602
00:30:36.260 --> 00:30:37.380
Trust me, it's not.

603
00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:40.880
And a lot of us have really religious ideas of who God is

604
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.880
and what is required for God to work on our behalf.

605
00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:47.660
And I just wanna let you guys know,

606
00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:50.820
nothing is required except the finished work of the cross.

607
00:30:50.820 --> 00:30:54.100
Nothing is required except for the payment

608
00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:58.700
that was already paid by your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

609
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:01.600
It is truly a finished work.

610
00:31:01.600 --> 00:31:04.520
There's all kinds of things that are working themselves out

611
00:31:04.520 --> 00:31:08.760
here on earth that are currently beyond our pay grade

612
00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:11.260
of understanding, but once again,

613
00:31:11.260 --> 00:31:13.760
we can ask for understanding.

614
00:31:13.760 --> 00:31:14.600
We can.

615
00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:21.020
We can ask and be invited into revelation and we should.

616
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.560
Okay, so I can't get into all that on this call

617
00:31:23.560 --> 00:31:27.240
because I wanna get through these categories of letting go,

618
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:29.420
but we have to let go of negativity.

619
00:31:30.500 --> 00:31:31.340
And for some of us,

620
00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:33.940
that means we're gonna have to dig it out by the root.

621
00:31:35.300 --> 00:31:37.540
All right, because it's dead.

622
00:31:37.540 --> 00:31:39.060
And we gotta remove those dead roots

623
00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:40.700
because we are not believing

624
00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:43.100
that God can do anything good for us.

625
00:31:43.100 --> 00:31:44.900
And he wants to show us,

626
00:31:45.820 --> 00:31:50.540
he wants to show us his love, he does.

627
00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:55.980
And we have to be able to allow that to happen, okay?

628
00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:59.560
So we want a gratitude to come over us, y'all.

629
00:31:59.560 --> 00:32:00.640
We do.

630
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.160
We want a gratitude to come over us.

631
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:04.440
And the only way that's gonna happen

632
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.800
is if we really realize that God has been good to us

633
00:32:08.800 --> 00:32:10.400
in spite of ourselves.

634
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.400
And so I just pray that,

635
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:13.280
release that over all of us right now, God,

636
00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:16.820
that you would show your sons and daughters your goodness.

637
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:19.840
Your word says that we would see your goodness,

638
00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:22.680
that your goodness would actually pursue us and overtake us

639
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.320
where now here in the land of the living.

640
00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:28.140
And so, Lord, for all of those that raised their hand

641
00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:30.820
and said that, they just don't know

642
00:32:30.820 --> 00:32:34.260
if you are going to show up for them in their lives

643
00:32:34.260 --> 00:32:37.180
or that you're gonna be good to them in their situations.

644
00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:41.340
I pray, God, that before we even gather together again,

645
00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:44.200
that they see your goodness in their lives.

646
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.400
They see that you care about them,

647
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.100
that you're emotionally involved with them in Jesus' name.

648
00:32:51.100 --> 00:32:52.020
All right, here's the next thing

649
00:32:52.020 --> 00:32:54.820
that we're gonna let go of so that we can fly.

650
00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:59.200
We're gonna let go of perfect, okay?

651
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.120
Some of y'all are bullies, right?

652
00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:04.120
I love you, but you're bullies.

653
00:33:04.120 --> 00:33:05.400
And who are you bullying?

654
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:07.400
You're bullying yourself.

655
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.040
That's who you're bullying, right?

656
00:33:11.040 --> 00:33:13.720
You are bullying you.

657
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.760
The way you talk to yourself is ridiculous

658
00:33:16.760 --> 00:33:18.800
and it's got to stop.

659
00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:20.760
And once again, it's rooted somewhere.

660
00:33:20.760 --> 00:33:23.480
So when these things start coming out of your mouth,

661
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:25.740
you're gonna have to ask Holy Spirit to show you

662
00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:27.660
what dead thing it's rooted in

663
00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:31.300
so that we can prune that dead thing off, okay?

664
00:33:31.300 --> 00:33:33.940
So we have to stop giving ourselves such a hard time.

665
00:33:35.020 --> 00:33:37.060
Everyone has messed up.

666
00:33:37.060 --> 00:33:39.000
Everyone's forgot about something important.

667
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.180
We've all lost our patience with other people,

668
00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:42.700
with our kids.

669
00:33:42.700 --> 00:33:44.620
We've all yelled at someone before.

670
00:33:44.620 --> 00:33:45.920
Well, most of us have.

671
00:33:47.540 --> 00:33:50.400
We've all done the things that we know we shouldn't do.

672
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.020
That's everyone.

673
00:33:52.020 --> 00:33:54.880
We've all left the house with two different shoes on.

674
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.500
Well, that actually might just be me.

675
00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.520
It happens.

676
00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:02.600
It happens, y'all, okay?

677
00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:04.960
We got to let go of perfect

678
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.300
because perfect is not real except in the person of Jesus.

679
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.280
You are perfectly imperfect.

680
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.639
Write that down, tattoo it on your forehead if you have to.

681
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.440
You are perfectly imperfect.

682
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.920
And so you have to stop being so hard on yourself.

683
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:22.940
Some of you are not succeeding

684
00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:27.940
because you are being kept back by hatred, okay?

685
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:33.840
The problem is is it's self-hatred.

686
00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:35.659
It's not other people.

687
00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:37.739
It's not mean, hateful people

688
00:34:37.739 --> 00:34:39.500
trying to keep you from succeeding.

689
00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:42.620
It's you being mean and hateful towards yourself.

690
00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:45.820
And this is hard work stuff, you guys.

691
00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:46.780
This is deeper stuff.

692
00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:48.380
We can't get into it today.

693
00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:50.500
But if you know you have trouble in this area

694
00:34:51.020 --> 00:34:52.920
and it's holding you back and pushing you down,

695
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:54.820
then you got to get to the root of it.

696
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:57.300
You have to.

697
00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:58.600
All right, here's the next thing we're gonna let go of.

698
00:34:58.600 --> 00:35:00.000
We're gonna let go of guilt.

699
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.040
Did you guys know that guilt is not, it's not a kingdom emotion?

700
00:35:06.040 --> 00:35:11.480
We've all experienced guilt, but it's actually a kingdom of darkness emotion.

701
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.880
And I know a lot of people think, well, guilt is godly because no, y'all, remorse and guilt

702
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.840
are not the same thing.

703
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:25.320
Remorse says that you have done something unworthy of you and you know it and you're

704
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.920
aware of it and you want to make it right.

705
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.520
Guilt says that you're unworthy.

706
00:35:30.520 --> 00:35:34.120
It's not the same.

707
00:35:34.120 --> 00:35:40.480
It's not the same thing.

708
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.400
I see that there's a possibility that I'm breaking up.

709
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:43.400
Am I breaking up?

710
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:44.400
No?

711
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:45.400
Okay, good.

712
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.600
So you guys, we have to let go of guilt.

713
00:35:49.600 --> 00:35:51.760
Guilt is not a productive emotion.

714
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:53.320
In fact, I want to let you know something.

715
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:57.720
If you have guilt in your heart, it's there illegally.

716
00:35:57.720 --> 00:35:59.840
It's an illegal emotion.

717
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:03.400
It's not from the kingdom of heaven.

718
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:07.600
And I know that you probably thought that guilt was godly because, oh, I should just

719
00:36:07.600 --> 00:36:10.200
feel so bad about what I did.

720
00:36:10.200 --> 00:36:14.600
You guys, repentance is not feeling bad about what you did.

721
00:36:14.600 --> 00:36:19.800
Repentance is realizing that what you did is unworthy of you and that you should turn

722
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:28.000
away from it and turn towards God.

723
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:33.040
I know we all have been in relationships where someone came to us and they seemed so sorry

724
00:36:33.040 --> 00:36:36.480
for what they did because they were crying and boohooing and snotting up the carpet and

725
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.240
begging us to forgive them and give us another chance.

726
00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:43.080
And they just went and got right up after we said, yes, I forgive you, and they did

727
00:36:43.080 --> 00:36:45.400
the same thing again, didn't they?

728
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.480
Didn't they do it?

729
00:36:48.480 --> 00:37:00.160
That's because that is not the proof of, I'm sorry, tears, snotty nose, begging.

730
00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:07.120
No, the proof of, I'm sorry, is changed behavior.

731
00:37:07.120 --> 00:37:09.320
Repentance is that.

732
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:11.080
Repentance means changed behavior.

733
00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:14.880
So you guys, we're going to let go of this.

734
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:17.200
We're going to let go of guilt.

735
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:20.080
Yes, feel remorse for your mistakes.

736
00:37:20.080 --> 00:37:21.080
Yes.

737
00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:28.160
Operate in repentance, operate in confession, for sure.

738
00:37:28.160 --> 00:37:33.040
Realize that you didn't know what you didn't know when you didn't know it, okay?

739
00:37:33.040 --> 00:37:43.440
But now you can because you know, and now you're going to do much better, right?

740
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:44.840
You're going to do much better.

741
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:51.880
So forgive yourself, forgive others, and release the regret that leads to guilt, okay?

742
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.520
All right, next one that's holding us back, holding us down, these are just some notes

743
00:37:55.520 --> 00:37:56.800
I have here.

744
00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:57.800
Let go.

745
00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:59.360
This is going to be a big one for so many of us.

746
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.520
You guys ready for it?

747
00:38:02.520 --> 00:38:07.560
Let go of busyness.

748
00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:11.720
You guys, years ago, because I'm a busy bee, I'm a busy, busy, busy, busy, busy bee.

749
00:38:11.720 --> 00:38:16.200
All right, years ago, God showed me the word busy, B-U-S-Y.

750
00:38:16.200 --> 00:38:27.360
He showed me an acronym for it, and for me, it was being under Satan's yoke.

751
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:33.720
It was being under Satan's yoke because you guys, I was doing so many things out of perfectionism,

752
00:38:33.720 --> 00:38:37.920
out of the need to earn my keep with the Lord, okay?

753
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:39.880
All of that good works, good works, good works.

754
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.680
I did not have a revelation of the finished work of the cross.

755
00:38:42.680 --> 00:38:49.280
I was killing myself trying to please God, and I was under Satan's yoke.

756
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:53.680
And so for all of us that live in this American culture, I want to say this.

757
00:38:53.680 --> 00:38:56.160
Busyness is not a status symbol.

758
00:38:56.160 --> 00:39:00.860
Some people will list out everything they're going to do before 10 a.m., and I'm just exhausted

759
00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:02.480
reading it on Facebook.

760
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:06.760
Oh, I got up at 5.45 this morning, and I already worked out.

761
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:07.760
I had my coffee.

762
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:08.760
I did my devotion.

763
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:14.240
You know, I made 50, you know, batches of cookies for the school's field trip and just

764
00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:15.240
all the things.

765
00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:17.600
I'm like, oh, my God.

766
00:39:17.600 --> 00:39:20.040
What is happening here?

767
00:39:20.040 --> 00:39:24.240
So here's your new mantra.

768
00:39:24.240 --> 00:39:29.520
I'm not going to be busy, but I'm going to be abundant.

769
00:39:29.520 --> 00:39:32.740
I'm going to be abundant.

770
00:39:32.740 --> 00:39:37.280
You guys, when someone asks you, hey, how are you doing, a lot of times we'll answer,

771
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:38.280
oh, I'm so busy.

772
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.800
Don't we?

773
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:40.800
Don't we say that?

774
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:41.800
How's life going?

775
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:43.440
Oh, we've just been so busy.

776
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.440
If we're making an excuse of why we haven't talked to someone in a while, I'll be like,

777
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.880
oh, I'm so sorry.

778
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:48.880
Things have been so busy.

779
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:50.960
Haven't we said that?

780
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:53.320
We've said all those things, haven't we?

781
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.760
All right.

782
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:56.080
So let me ask you this.

783
00:39:56.080 --> 00:40:00.160
What would happen if you pruned off the dead things that you have?

784
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.680
You shouldn't be doing that are rooted in all kinds of bad stuff,

785
00:40:05.240 --> 00:40:07.200
like the reasons behind why you do them.

786
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.360
But if you prune that stuff off, what if you only did things that you felt were

787
00:40:12.560 --> 00:40:16.480
truly your assignment before the Lord or things that brought you joy?

788
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:17.640
Okay.

789
00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:21.160
And hopefully those things are not mutually exclusive, but

790
00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:23.760
sometimes we'll do things, we'll eat the frog, we'll do things that

791
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.320
we don't really enjoy doing, but we know God wants us to do it.

792
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.320
But it shouldn't be the majority of the things on our list.

793
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.760
And the other things we do because we genuinely enjoy doing them.

794
00:40:34.040 --> 00:40:38.480
We feel like it's a ministry and I don't mean like a church ministry y'all.

795
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.840
When you know Jesus, everything that you do is ministry.

796
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:42.960
You are a minister.

797
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.360
The moment that you meet Jesus, you are a living ambassador of heaven.

798
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:48.200
Okay.

799
00:40:48.640 --> 00:40:50.520
And so we do things that we really enjoy doing.

800
00:40:50.520 --> 00:40:59.000
What if our to-do list, our daily schedule was abundant instead of overwhelmed?

801
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.240
What would life look like?

802
00:41:05.080 --> 00:41:07.680
And the only way that you're going to get there is what I'm going to say next.

803
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:08.760
Say no.

804
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:13.720
Let no become your favorite word.

805
00:41:14.040 --> 00:41:17.720
You guys, I say no five times more than I say yes.

806
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:22.320
And I say no to things that sometimes sound pretty interesting, but I know

807
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.600
that in order to do it, I would have to kill myself.

808
00:41:25.640 --> 00:41:28.120
I would have to like kill myself trying to do it.

809
00:41:28.120 --> 00:41:31.920
I would, it'd be massive overwhelmed to try to get there and do it because it

810
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:38.600
just does not fit in what I've already laid out for myself, my smart goals in my life.

811
00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:40.080
Okay.

812
00:41:40.080 --> 00:41:42.280
And I hate to say no, I used to hate it.

813
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:44.680
Um, I don't, I, I don't hate to say no.

814
00:41:44.680 --> 00:41:45.960
I hate to disappoint people.

815
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:50.000
We all hate to disappoint people, but sometimes you got to disappoint

816
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.280
people in order to please God.

817
00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:54.320
Write that down.

818
00:41:54.640 --> 00:41:57.520
Sometimes you have to disappoint people in order to please God.

819
00:41:57.560 --> 00:42:05.280
Cause it's not pleasing to God for you to be overwhelmed, stressed out, busy with a

820
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:10.760
bunch of things that don't have any eternal value because God loves you.

821
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:13.360
Okay.

822
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:16.520
And he wants this life that he's given you to be a gift.

823
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:19.080
Okay.

824
00:42:19.080 --> 00:42:19.800
So say no.

825
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.000
And the other thing you have to do is you have to stay in your lane.

826
00:42:24.120 --> 00:42:24.320
Yes.

827
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:25.240
Stay in your lane.

828
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.440
I hate injustice.

829
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:34.560
You guys, I have a justice gift, but there's a better use for my justice gift than me

830
00:42:34.560 --> 00:42:36.640
getting caught up in American politics.

831
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:41.440
Now, if I was going to school to be a politician, which I thought about doing,

832
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:42.800
you guys, I really did.

833
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.160
I thought about getting into politics when I was younger, I was going to go to

834
00:42:45.160 --> 00:42:49.360
school to be a lawyer and I was going to be living in DC and being involved in

835
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:50.000
politics.

836
00:42:50.120 --> 00:42:51.480
Some of you could see me doing that.

837
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:56.040
I could see myself doing that, but it's not what was the better choice for me.

838
00:42:56.040 --> 00:42:57.000
So I didn't do it.

839
00:42:57.160 --> 00:43:00.040
But I am drawn to those fights a lot.

840
00:43:00.040 --> 00:43:01.320
I'm drawn to those arguments.

841
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.600
I'm drawn to those debates, but I got to stay in my lane.

842
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:09.440
This justice gift that God's given me, there's a better use for it than me

843
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.640
arguing with people who really are never going to change their mind.

844
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:16.800
Right.

845
00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:20.760
There's a better gift for my, there's a better use for my justice gift.

846
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:25.800
And some of you, you have a gift that is overextended because you're not using it

847
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:28.320
in your lane and now it's become a weakness.

848
00:43:29.600 --> 00:43:34.600
You have a gift from God and you are not using it for the purpose he gave it to

849
00:43:34.600 --> 00:43:35.280
you for.

850
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.240
So his become overextended.

851
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:38.840
Now it's a weakness.

852
00:43:40.200 --> 00:43:42.000
Now it's hurting you instead of helping you.

853
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:42.720
It's hurting you.

854
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:44.880
Instead of helping others, it's hurting others.

855
00:43:45.200 --> 00:43:46.960
And what's happening?

856
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:49.000
You're overextended.

857
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:51.920
You got to get back in your lane.

858
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:54.000
All right.

859
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.920
So God's Holy Spirit hopefully is talking to somebody about what that is.

860
00:43:58.240 --> 00:43:59.320
So stay in your lane.

861
00:44:01.080 --> 00:44:04.240
And we got to give ourselves permission to stay in our lane and let go of

862
00:44:04.240 --> 00:44:05.880
everybody else's responsibilities.

863
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.280
Some of you, the reason why you're so busy is you're so busy doing stuff for

864
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:09.960
other people.

865
00:44:10.200 --> 00:44:13.600
There are some of you that when you go to work, other people literally stop by

866
00:44:13.600 --> 00:44:17.040
your desk and they give you their work that they should be doing.

867
00:44:19.560 --> 00:44:20.720
And you do it for them.

868
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:23.360
Oh, can you help me with this?

869
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.240
Honey, you got to learn how to use the copy machine yourself.

870
00:44:28.040 --> 00:44:28.640
Okay.

871
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:33.440
If you don't know how to use it by now, you're what, 43 years old, then there's

872
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.040
no hope for your future.

873
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:36.920
You've got to learn how to use it.

874
00:44:38.680 --> 00:44:44.440
You've got to say no to those people that have used your good nature and your

875
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:46.760
willingness to help because you have a helping gift.

876
00:44:47.080 --> 00:44:48.480
They're using it against you now.

877
00:44:48.520 --> 00:44:50.200
Do you see how it's being used against you?

878
00:44:54.040 --> 00:44:56.880
Someone comes to you and says, Hey, can I get advice about this?

879
00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:59.040
And you're like, sure, I'll give you advice about this.

880
00:44:59.240 --> 00:45:00.040
And you give them advice.

881
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.400
advice, and now instead of learning how to pray, learning how to seek God on their own,

882
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:11.040
they're coming to you every single day with some kind of situation where they want you

883
00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:16.680
to give them input or basically tell them what to do with their lives.

884
00:45:16.680 --> 00:45:18.120
No.

885
00:45:18.120 --> 00:45:19.560
That causes exhaustion.

886
00:45:19.560 --> 00:45:23.600
That might be flattering at first, like, oh, all my friends, all my friends come to me

887
00:45:23.600 --> 00:45:24.600
for advice.

888
00:45:24.600 --> 00:45:29.280
Well, do they actually ever take your advice, or do they come to you with their problems

889
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:33.360
and they take up all your time complaining and grumbling and murmuring, and you trying

890
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:38.680
to use your encouragement gift to pull them out of the mulligrabs for 24 hours until they're

891
00:45:38.680 --> 00:45:43.080
back in the mulligrabs again calling you back?

892
00:45:43.080 --> 00:45:46.560
Some of you are laughing because you know that that shoe fits you and you tied it up

893
00:45:46.560 --> 00:45:48.280
and you're wearing it.

894
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:55.280
Do you guys know that for all the people that you are using your encouragement gift on that

895
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:01.560
are not changing their lives with that exhortation, there is someone else that's dying for encouragement,

896
00:46:01.560 --> 00:46:03.360
but you can't give them your gift.

897
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:08.660
It would change their lives if you gave them your gift, but you're over here being distracted

898
00:46:08.660 --> 00:46:14.760
by all these other people that are just takers, that are just bleeding you dry.

899
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:15.760
Mm-hmm.

900
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:19.160
Yeah, we got to let go of that.

901
00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:20.160
We got to let go of that.

902
00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:23.120
The next time that someone comes to you, a repeat offender.

903
00:46:23.120 --> 00:46:29.280
The next time someone comes to you to get encouraged and to get exhorted by you, to

904
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:35.320
get advice about their problem, I want you to ask them what they did with the last encouragement,

905
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:38.320
exhortation, and advice that you gave them.

906
00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:42.520
I want you to ask them what they did with it.

907
00:46:42.520 --> 00:46:45.440
What kind of feet did they put on those prayers?

908
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:47.600
How did they walk that out?

909
00:46:47.600 --> 00:46:54.520
If they don't have an answer for that, then you don't give them any more.

910
00:46:54.520 --> 00:46:58.360
When I was in my 20s, Joyce Meyer literally saved my life.

911
00:46:58.360 --> 00:46:59.920
Her books literally saved my life.

912
00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:04.480
Her preaching tapes literally saved my life, okay?

913
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:07.520
Because I had such bad anxiety disorder.

914
00:47:07.520 --> 00:47:08.520
Literally saved me.

915
00:47:08.520 --> 00:47:13.120
But one of the funniest things I've ever heard Joyce say, and that's saying something big

916
00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:14.720
because she's a funny lady.

917
00:47:14.720 --> 00:47:18.560
One of the funniest things I ever heard her say was that she tried to actually be a biblical

918
00:47:18.560 --> 00:47:21.520
counselor before she started doing what she does.

919
00:47:21.520 --> 00:47:25.640
She said people would come to her office and they would tell her their problems and she

920
00:47:25.640 --> 00:47:28.280
would tell them what they should do.

921
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:31.520
And then the next week they would come back with the same problems and she basically would

922
00:47:31.520 --> 00:47:36.080
be like, get out.

923
00:47:36.080 --> 00:47:38.840
She did not have a mercy gift, y'all.

924
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:41.280
But some of you listen to me, please listen.

925
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:43.400
You have a mercy gift.

926
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:47.680
And because you have a mercy gift, you're giving people chance after chance after chance

927
00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:50.000
after chance after chance after chance.

928
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:54.680
And that is not the correct use of that gift.

929
00:47:54.680 --> 00:47:56.880
That is not the correct use of it.

930
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.240
That's burning you out.

931
00:47:59.240 --> 00:48:03.520
That's causing you to live an overwhelmed life.

932
00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:08.520
I need to have a, probably need to have a special session for boundaries for people

933
00:48:08.520 --> 00:48:13.240
who have helping gifts, mercy gifts, exhortation, encouragement gifts.

934
00:48:13.240 --> 00:48:18.320
I probably need to do that sometime, but you guys, we have to let go.

935
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:22.040
We have to let go, okay?

936
00:48:22.040 --> 00:48:27.160
I want you to let go of, here's the next thing, okay?

937
00:48:27.160 --> 00:48:33.080
So to kind of end that one, all right, letting go of everything right now, some of you have

938
00:48:33.080 --> 00:48:39.720
permission to let go of everything that does not bring you life or joy, because some of

939
00:48:39.720 --> 00:48:41.480
you have way too much of that going on.

940
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:42.480
Okay.

941
00:48:42.720 --> 00:48:43.720
Here's the next one.

942
00:48:43.720 --> 00:48:44.720
Let go of someday.

943
00:48:44.720 --> 00:48:54.200
We've got to let go of someday, because this week is made up of seven days and not one

944
00:48:54.200 --> 00:48:57.040
of them is called someday, all right?

945
00:48:57.040 --> 00:49:02.400
And have you ever noticed that tomorrow's always today?

946
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:03.400
Have you noticed that?

947
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:05.280
There's no such thing as tomorrow.

948
00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:06.280
There's only today.

949
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:07.920
Y'all, there's only today.

950
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:11.600
There's only ever today, because when tomorrow gets here, it becomes today.

951
00:49:11.720 --> 00:49:14.680
And so you got to do today well.

952
00:49:14.680 --> 00:49:16.600
You have to do today well.

953
00:49:16.600 --> 00:49:18.320
And you know how you do today well?

954
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.360
You make the call, right?

955
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:27.720
You put in the resumes, you offer the apology, you sign up, you show up, you step up, you

956
00:49:27.720 --> 00:49:32.200
buy the ticket, you say the words, you do it today, because someday is never going to

957
00:49:32.200 --> 00:49:33.200
come.

958
00:49:33.200 --> 00:49:36.080
You guys, someday, I feel Holy Spirit all over that.

959
00:49:36.080 --> 00:49:38.520
Someday is never going to come.

960
00:49:39.520 --> 00:49:42.040
Well, Jackie, I'm afraid of getting out of God's timing.

961
00:49:42.040 --> 00:49:43.040
Stop that.

962
00:49:43.040 --> 00:49:44.800
That's so religious.

963
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:46.960
That's not a real thing.

964
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:47.960
That's not a real thing.

965
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:51.800
God lives outside of time.

966
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:55.080
God lives outside of time.

967
00:49:55.080 --> 00:49:56.440
You're never going to get ahead of God.

968
00:49:56.440 --> 00:49:58.160
You are never, ever going to get ahead of God.

969
00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:00.040
That was just something that someone preached one day.

970
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.040
It sounded good to everyone and everyone adopted it.

971
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.280
It is not truly biblical.

972
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.520
You cannot get ahead of God, but you know what you can do?

973
00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:09.000
You can get way far behind him.

974
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:13.440
All right.

975
00:50:13.680 --> 00:50:16.800
So let's stay in step with Holy Spirit for our lives.

976
00:50:17.080 --> 00:50:20.480
And that means you can't compare your timeline to other people's, just

977
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:24.440
because they had to go through all this and it took this much time

978
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:26.160
and this is the way they did it.

979
00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:28.920
And so now they are told everyone, this is the right way to do it.

980
00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:30.360
That might not be your right way.

981
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:35.600
When people look at your story, it may not make any sense.

982
00:50:35.600 --> 00:50:37.800
People are like, Hey, that should have never happened that quickly.

983
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:38.640
Well, you know what?

984
00:50:38.640 --> 00:50:39.520
Today was the day.

985
00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:40.240
So I did today.

986
00:50:40.240 --> 00:50:41.560
Well, and it just worked out.

987
00:50:44.680 --> 00:50:46.160
Not going to make apologies for that.

988
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:50.040
Do it y'all.

989
00:50:50.040 --> 00:50:56.560
I really feel like whoever worked for Nike on that slogan had that

990
00:50:56.560 --> 00:51:02.320
inspiration from heaven, just do it because the worst that's going to

991
00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:07.280
happen if you just do it is it's not, that door's not going to open, but

992
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:08.480
you're going to continue to do it.

993
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:12.040
The worst that's going to happen is you're going to learn something.

994
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:14.000
Write this down.

995
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:15.120
There's no lose in the kingdom.

996
00:51:15.120 --> 00:51:16.120
There's only winner learn.

997
00:51:16.240 --> 00:51:16.720
Guess what?

998
00:51:16.720 --> 00:51:21.040
You're going to learn the, you're going to learn another way that's

999
00:51:21.040 --> 00:51:22.600
not productive to do something.

1000
00:51:22.600 --> 00:51:23.360
It's going to be fine.

1001
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:23.920
You're going to learn.

1002
00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:26.520
Okay.

1003
00:51:26.520 --> 00:51:27.400
Here's the next one.

1004
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:28.960
Let go of should.

1005
00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:35.080
Ladies, this is especially for you, but gentlemen, it's for you as well.

1006
00:51:35.080 --> 00:51:37.480
Let go of should let go of it.

1007
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:37.960
Please.

1008
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:39.920
Should.

1009
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:41.000
Should.

1010
00:51:52.040 --> 00:51:53.040
I should be, I should be.

1011
00:51:53.040 --> 00:51:54.280
I should be, I should be.

1012
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:54.840
I should be.

1013
00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:57.880
We gotta stop shooting on ourselves, right?

1014
00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:02.760
I should be wiser by now.

1015
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:03.640
I should be better by now.

1016
00:52:03.640 --> 00:52:04.600
I should be married by now.

1017
00:52:04.600 --> 00:52:06.200
I should have learned my lesson by now.

1018
00:52:06.200 --> 00:52:06.960
I should do this.

1019
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:07.800
I should do that.

1020
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:09.600
Go ahead and put in the chat right now what your shoulds are.

1021
00:52:09.600 --> 00:52:10.320
You guys all have them.

1022
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:11.720
I want to see them.

1023
00:52:11.720 --> 00:52:13.480
Come on.

1024
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:14.360
What are your shoulds?

1025
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:23.040
Let's activate this.

1026
00:52:25.720 --> 00:52:28.280
222 people on the call right now.

1027
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:29.080
Coincidence?

1028
00:52:29.080 --> 00:52:30.360
I don't think so.

1029
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:32.360
God's asking us to come into agreement.

1030
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:33.440
He wants us to fly.

1031
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:34.600
We've been created to fly.

1032
00:52:34.600 --> 00:52:36.280
You've been born to fly.

1033
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.120
You can't fly because you got too much dead weight.

1034
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:47.760
222 is the number of the bride, the bride of Christ.

1035
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.040
Not just the bride of man, the bride of Christ.

1036
00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:52.840
Right now, all of us are the bride of Christ on this call.

1037
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.240
Look at all those, you guys.

1038
00:53:00.240 --> 00:53:02.440
Some of you are like, wow, I recognize that should.

1039
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:03.520
I have that should as well.

1040
00:53:04.520 --> 00:53:06.080
Very important for us to understand

1041
00:53:06.080 --> 00:53:07.280
that we're not in this alone.

1042
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:11.120
So you guys, come on.

1043
00:53:11.120 --> 00:53:11.920
We have to stop.

1044
00:53:18.520 --> 00:53:21.040
Next, let go of blame.

1045
00:53:21.040 --> 00:53:22.240
Let go of blame, you guys.

1046
00:53:22.240 --> 00:53:23.320
We've got to let go of blame.

1047
00:53:27.120 --> 00:53:28.480
I know that it sounds crazy, but we

1048
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:30.960
don't have to assign blame when something goes wrong.

1049
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:32.560
It doesn't have to be anyone's fault.

1050
00:53:33.560 --> 00:53:35.360
It doesn't.

1051
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:37.480
Sometimes it's just the effects of the curse,

1052
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:39.960
the effects of people who don't have the knowledge that they

1053
00:53:39.960 --> 00:53:41.720
need at the time that they need it.

1054
00:53:41.720 --> 00:53:44.280
And it's OK for it to just be what it is.

1055
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.240
It's OK for life to be messy.

1056
00:53:46.240 --> 00:53:51.160
It doesn't have to always have a fall guy or a fall girl.

1057
00:53:51.160 --> 00:53:53.840
When we let go of blame, healing can begin.

1058
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:57.280
If you guys are still in the blame portion of something,

1059
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:58.880
then healing has not started yet.

1060
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:04.360
Got to let go of blame.

1061
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:06.800
And then right arm and arm with that

1062
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:09.520
is we have to let go of judgment.

1063
00:54:09.520 --> 00:54:11.000
Guys, we have to let go of judgment.

1064
00:54:16.480 --> 00:54:18.200
Some of y'all would do a lot better in life

1065
00:54:18.200 --> 00:54:22.280
if you just kept focused on your own self in your own lane

1066
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:23.320
and live and let live.

1067
00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:27.240
We have to give grace.

1068
00:54:27.240 --> 00:54:30.840
We have to hold the space for people who are still learning.

1069
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.320
People do not change, including you,

1070
00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:34.600
when we point fingers at them.

1071
00:54:34.600 --> 00:54:36.720
So you've been pointing fingers at yourself.

1072
00:54:36.720 --> 00:54:38.160
You should, you should, you should.

1073
00:54:38.160 --> 00:54:40.600
And that always ends up with us pointing fingers

1074
00:54:40.600 --> 00:54:41.440
at other people.

1075
00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:43.560
Because I'm going to tell you right now, whoever God is to you,

1076
00:54:43.560 --> 00:54:45.800
he will be through you.

1077
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:47.720
And if you feel like God's the God of judgment,

1078
00:54:47.720 --> 00:54:49.280
then you're going to judge yourself

1079
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:50.680
because you feel like God's judging you.

1080
00:54:50.680 --> 00:54:52.760
And then you're going to judge everybody else too.

1081
00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:58.040
People change when they're loved.

1082
00:54:58.040 --> 00:54:59.760
That includes you.

1083
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:01.320
True.

1084
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.000
Start loving yourself.

1085
00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:02.520
Start letting God love you.

1086
00:55:02.520 --> 00:55:03.520
God wants to love you.

1087
00:55:03.520 --> 00:55:04.520
He doesn't want to punish you.

1088
00:55:04.520 --> 00:55:05.720
He doesn't want to judge you.

1089
00:55:05.720 --> 00:55:10.320
If you feel judged and punished, it's because you are judging and punishing yourself.

1090
00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:15.200
Jesus took your punishment on the cross.

1091
00:55:15.200 --> 00:55:20.200
The fruit that came out of the finished work of the cross is that you get to walk in grace,

1092
00:55:20.200 --> 00:55:22.720
meaning that you're going to have access to things that you don't deserve, and you get

1093
00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:28.720
to walk in mercy, which means you're not going to get what you do deserve.

1094
00:55:28.720 --> 00:55:30.360
Come on.

1095
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:34.040
And when you walk in mercy and grace, it's going to be very easy for you to give that

1096
00:55:34.040 --> 00:55:35.040
to other people.

1097
00:55:35.040 --> 00:55:38.400
So we got to let go of judgment, okay?

1098
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.200
Hold the space for those that are still learning, including yourself.

1099
00:55:41.200 --> 00:55:45.280
You are still learning, and you're going to be still learning for the rest of your life.

1100
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:46.800
This is your childhood.

1101
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:53.860
Falling down and bruising up and skinning up your knees, that's part of the dispensation

1102
00:55:53.860 --> 00:55:55.860
that we're living in right now.

1103
00:55:55.860 --> 00:56:06.260
You are a spiritual, eternal being having a very temporary, natural experience.

1104
00:56:06.260 --> 00:56:08.660
Let go of fear is the last one.

1105
00:56:08.660 --> 00:56:12.260
You guys, we got to let go of fear.

1106
00:56:12.260 --> 00:56:20.340
Remember, love, the opposite of it is not hate, it's fear.

1107
00:56:20.340 --> 00:56:24.020
Hate is a byproduct of fear.

1108
00:56:24.020 --> 00:56:26.780
The opposite of love is fear.

1109
00:56:26.780 --> 00:56:31.420
So if we're not living in love, we're living in fear.

1110
00:56:31.420 --> 00:56:35.420
And there are places in our lives that we probably live and embrace love, and there

1111
00:56:35.420 --> 00:56:38.100
are other areas of our lives where we embrace fear.

1112
00:56:38.100 --> 00:56:40.540
I want you to pay attention to those things.

1113
00:56:40.540 --> 00:56:43.540
Where are the areas where you really can't live in love?

1114
00:56:43.540 --> 00:56:46.140
You're not rooted and grounded in love.

1115
00:56:46.140 --> 00:56:49.100
A lot of fear comes to you in that area.

1116
00:56:49.100 --> 00:56:50.220
There's a root there.

1117
00:56:50.220 --> 00:56:51.460
There's something that needs to be pruned.

1118
00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:56.340
There's something dead there that needs to be let go of, because it's time to live out

1119
00:56:56.340 --> 00:56:57.340
loud.

1120
00:56:57.340 --> 00:57:05.940
Guys, it's time to make your stomach queasy every day by doing something that makes you

1121
00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:15.540
feel afraid in a good way, right?

1122
00:57:15.540 --> 00:57:16.540
Let's do it.

1123
00:57:16.540 --> 00:57:20.420
Let's do those things.

1124
00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:21.420
Do the exact opposite.

1125
00:57:21.420 --> 00:57:24.900
Here, this is something that I actually started doing, because you guys know that I dealt

1126
00:57:24.900 --> 00:57:27.940
with massive anxiety in my life.

1127
00:57:27.940 --> 00:57:31.780
I started doing the exact opposite of whatever fear was telling me.

1128
00:57:31.780 --> 00:57:38.540
Oh, it was so scary, but whatever fear was telling me, I did the exact opposite of it.

1129
00:57:38.540 --> 00:57:42.620
I did the exact opposite, y'all.

1130
00:57:42.620 --> 00:57:47.860
I know some of you know this, and I know it sounds crazy, and this is your leader, but

1131
00:57:47.860 --> 00:57:54.420
I used to have an intrusive thought that people had poisoned whatever I was drinking.

1132
00:57:54.420 --> 00:57:58.900
You guys, in my own house, by myself, with no one else around, you have contaminated

1133
00:57:58.900 --> 00:57:59.900
it.

1134
00:57:59.900 --> 00:58:03.260
A lot of times, I would just throw away that bottle of water.

1135
00:58:03.260 --> 00:58:04.260
I would throw away that drink.

1136
00:58:04.260 --> 00:58:08.020
I would pour it out or whatever, but just to give you a little example of doing the

1137
00:58:08.020 --> 00:58:12.060
opposite of what fear is telling you, when I began to get healing, when I began to do

1138
00:58:12.060 --> 00:58:16.460
the hard work, when I began to get deliverance, and this is important for a lot of you, those

1139
00:58:16.460 --> 00:58:18.780
thoughts didn't actually go away.

1140
00:58:18.780 --> 00:58:22.460
I had to not resist them.

1141
00:58:22.460 --> 00:58:29.460
I had to replace them, okay, with action, and so when I would have that thought, I would

1142
00:58:29.460 --> 00:58:30.460
just chug it.

1143
00:58:30.460 --> 00:58:32.940
I would just chug whatever that drink was.

1144
00:58:32.940 --> 00:58:41.420
Well, the only way to put this baby to bed is just to go ahead and chug it.

1145
00:58:41.420 --> 00:58:46.860
So whatever those intrusive fear thoughts are telling you, do the opposite of them.

1146
00:58:46.860 --> 00:58:50.100
Oh, nobody likes you here.

1147
00:58:50.100 --> 00:58:52.500
You know, you shouldn't come here anymore.

1148
00:58:52.500 --> 00:58:55.500
Come there more.

1149
00:58:55.500 --> 00:58:59.780
Oh, don't talk to that person.

1150
00:58:59.780 --> 00:59:06.140
You know, that person, hmm, yeah, that's not, that's going to be an awkward conversation.

1151
00:59:06.140 --> 00:59:07.140
Talk to them.

1152
00:59:07.140 --> 00:59:09.740
Who cares if it's awkward?

1153
00:59:10.060 --> 00:59:13.940
99.9% of my conversations are awkward.

1154
00:59:13.940 --> 00:59:15.620
You know what?

1155
00:59:15.620 --> 00:59:16.620
It's kind of my thing.

1156
00:59:16.620 --> 00:59:19.340
I don't know.

1157
00:59:19.340 --> 00:59:23.100
Do the opposite of whatever it is, you guys.

1158
00:59:23.100 --> 00:59:24.100
You can't go back to school.

1159
00:59:24.100 --> 00:59:25.100
You're too old.

1160
00:59:25.100 --> 00:59:26.100
Go back to school.

1161
00:59:26.100 --> 00:59:29.020
Do it afraid.

1162
00:59:29.020 --> 00:59:32.180
You're braver than you know.

1163
00:59:32.180 --> 00:59:38.140
It's time for us to let go of everything, everything, you guys, that doesn't make you

1164
00:59:38.140 --> 00:59:42.660
want to do a little dance.

1165
00:59:42.660 --> 00:59:46.300
We have a rule in our family, and this is where I will close, we have a rule in our

1166
00:59:46.300 --> 00:59:51.940
family because there's so much fast fashion from China, and it's like $25, and the kids

1167
00:59:51.940 --> 00:59:52.940
are like, I like this shirt.

1168
00:59:52.940 --> 00:59:53.940
I like this.

1169
00:59:53.940 --> 00:59:54.940
I want this.

1170
00:59:54.940 --> 00:59:55.940
I want that.

1171
00:59:55.940 --> 00:59:59.620
We have a rule in our family that when you go in the dressing room and you try it on,

1172
00:59:59.620 --> 01:00:00.620
if you don't like it, you can't do it.

1173
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.240
don't wanna do a little dance, you don't buy it.

1174
01:00:00.620 --> 01:00:01.620
You can't do it.

1175
01:00:01.620 --> 01:00:02.620
You can't do it.

1176
01:00:02.620 --> 01:00:03.620
You can't do it.

1177
01:00:03.620 --> 01:00:04.620
You can't do it.

1178
01:00:04.620 --> 01:00:05.620
You can't do it.

1179
01:00:05.200 --> 01:00:08.080
If you go in the dressing room and it's just okay,

1180
01:00:05.620 --> 01:00:06.620
You can't do it.

1181
01:00:06.620 --> 01:00:07.620
You can't do it.

1182
01:00:08.080 --> 01:00:10.200
kinda awkward fit here and there,

1183
01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:12.360
you know, I don't like the way this puckers out,

1184
01:00:12.360 --> 01:00:14.840
you looking at yourself from all sides, no.

1185
01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:18.040
If you put it on and you look at yourself in the mirror

1186
01:00:18.040 --> 01:00:19.720
and you wanna do a little dance,

1187
01:00:19.720 --> 01:00:21.600
make a little love, get down tonight,

1188
01:00:21.600 --> 01:00:25.080
then you buy that, whatever that is.

1189
01:00:25.080 --> 01:00:28.600
That dress, that top, guys, this could even work for you.

1190
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:33.880
Those jeans, every woman likes a sharp dress man, all right?

1191
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:35.840
So if those jeans look good on you, brother,

1192
01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:37.880
then you get them, all right?

1193
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:41.320
They make your butt look good, you get those jeans, right?

1194
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:45.920
Yes, this just took a carnal turn, but it's okay.

1195
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:47.620
It's okay, y'all.

1196
01:00:47.620 --> 01:00:49.240
Look, I just wanna say this at the end.

1197
01:00:49.240 --> 01:00:51.360
I know I said I was gonna end there, but I wanna say this.

1198
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:54.360
If your version of God does not have a sense of humor,

1199
01:00:54.360 --> 01:00:56.360
you don't know the same God that I know.

1200
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.360
Because my God's full of joy.

1201
01:01:00.600 --> 01:01:03.880
My God's full of joy, okay?

1202
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:07.080
And my God thinks I'm funny, he does.

1203
01:01:07.080 --> 01:01:12.080
He likes me and he thinks I'm funny, my papa, all right?

1204
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:14.320
Okay, all right, I love y'all.

1205
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:15.640
So Father, we thank you for today.

1206
01:01:15.640 --> 01:01:17.800
You're gonna help us to let go of the dead weight.

1207
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:20.040
You're gonna help us to prune in this fall season

1208
01:01:20.040 --> 01:01:22.320
anything that's dead, anything that's dying,

1209
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:23.920
anything that cannot be resuscitated,

1210
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:26.600
anything that's holding us back or keeping us down

1211
01:01:26.600 --> 01:01:28.840
from the beautiful life that you have given us,

1212
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:32.020
from flying, from soaring with you, Lord.

1213
01:01:32.020 --> 01:01:33.920
We ask that you would speak to us individually

1214
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:36.160
and corporately about what those things are.

1215
01:01:36.160 --> 01:01:39.040
We pray, God, that we would have transformation

1216
01:01:39.040 --> 01:01:41.960
from this conversation, in Jesus' name, amen.

1217
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:44.560
I love y'all, see you tomorrow night, bye, everyone.
