Welcome to PATH session for October.
We're just one day away from Yom Kippur.
If you don't know what that is,
I'll let you go ahead and go look that up.
But it is considered the day of
atonement by the Hebrews, by the Jews,
and it happens 10 days later than Rosh Hashanah.
The head of the year, the new year,
and then there's a 10-day period of time,
which is known as the days of repentance or the days of awe.
That is a time of introspection.
It's a time of coming apart and taking
some time to really think about making
amends or asking forgiveness or giving forgiveness.
We invited all of you to participate in that after last Sunday.
We said, hey, take some time after this teaching to be introspective,
to really take a look at what's in your heart.
We're going to continue to talk about what's in our heart,
but in a different way tonight.
As we head into what the Jews consider the day of atonement,
we all know as Christians that the day of
atonement happened on the finished work of the cross.
That Jesus died for us and as us.
But it's important that we understand that we need to
live in the victory that was established for us on that day.
Jesus can't make you live in the victory of what was given to you,
what was purchased for you that day.
We're going to talk about how our future is in our mouths tonight.
We're going to do that in celebration of
this beautiful year 5785 that we've entered into.
If you did not get to see the Supernatural Saturday,
where we dove into some meanings of 5785,
I'm sure that there are a lot of prophetic voices
out there that are saying a lot of different things.
I'm sure that they're all similar in some way because you
can't take those numbers and
those meanings and make them mean something different.
I'm sure that they're all similar.
They might have dug into different aspects of
the season that we're entering into or that we've entered into.
But what I really want to focus on again
tonight is that we are in the Peihei year.
We're in the decade of the mouth, the 80s.
Everyone say, hey, that lived through the 80s.
The 80s were a good time,
not for fashion, for everything else, a good time.
Fashion, not so much.
But we're in the 80s,
that is the decade of the mouth,
and we are in the year of manifestation.
We're in the five, we're in the hay.
We're in the year where we humble
ourselves and we come into agreement with heaven,
and we begin to manifest heaven on earth.
Does that sound exciting to you?
It sounds exciting to me.
That year as well,
it means behold, so that letter,
that number, that symbol,
it means behold,
and that is defined as suddenly.
All of you know that suddenly don't really happen suddenly, do they?
There's a lot that leads up to the moment of manifestation.
But it's not always something that you had anything to do with.
Let's just sit there for a moment with Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, come.
We know that you're in us and with us,
that you're for us,
but we want you to speak to us and through us tonight.
We're asking you to take control over this session,
to help us to get revelation.
Let the eyes of our heart be open to see what it is that God has for us tonight.
This is a divine moment, you guys.
We're never going to be in this moment ever again.
Never.
This group of people, this exact combination of people,
in the places that you're in right now physically,
technology has made it possible for us to come together,
and it'll never be like this again.
This combination, this way, this time, this moment will never pass again.
So Lord, we thank you for that.
And we realize that we are in a holy moment of revelation
where you desire to upgrade us.
You desire to give us revelation that changes our lives.
Where we've been stuck, we don't have to be stuck anymore.
So Lord, we thank you for that in advance,
and we ask that every heart would be open,
that the ears of our spirit and the eyes of our heart
would be open to see and to hear what you are saying to your children.
In Jesus' name, amen.
All right, so we're in a moment of suddenly,
but it's not necessarily something that you've worked towards.
There's so much typology and symbolism in the Bible
that talks about us getting to step into someone else's labor.
Isn't that right?
Go ahead and put some scriptures up that come to mind when we're talking about that.
There are scriptures in Joel that talk about that, right?
There are scriptures in Isaiah that talk about that.
There's all types and shadows of us, this generation and the generations to come, being
able to basically start on the ceiling, right?
Some people always say that, I want my ceiling to be their floor.
Don't people say that all the time, especially in the more charismatic churches about the
coming generations?
Well, Hebrews, the great hall of fame of faith, tells us that those people paid a price that
none of us may ever pay, of persecution, of loss, of war, all different types of things
so that we could inherit the promises of God, am I wrong?
It said that they left this earth not seeing with their human eyes the things that they
had been promised.
It talks in the Bible about a generation that will reap where it has not sown, Amos
chapter 9.
It talks about going into vineyards that you didn't plant that are full of good wine.
It talks about living in houses that you did not build.
What is that?
That's suddenly moments.
Those are moments when you are upgraded to places and to purposes that you do not deserve
and that you did not work for.
If you're like, well, that's not fair, write this down.
God is not fair.
There is nothing fair about any of it.
And if fair is your desire, if it is your objective, then following Jesus is not going
to be the right thing for you because it's not fair.
It isn't.
We are going to experience things that we do not deserve in a good way.
And while that may not seem fair to the people that did not get to see those things or did
not get to participate in those things, that is not up for us to judge because God says
my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
And so the earthly thinking around the word fair doesn't come into play.
I mean, you guys, honestly, if, and you should be glad that God is not fair.
He's just, he's a just God.
He's a righteous God.
He's a loving God.
But if we want to measure fair, none of us would be in right standing with God.
In fact, if it was fair and God's love and his provisions and his protection was given
out to the people that need it the most, I don't think any of us would be on that list.
Because I know that all of us sitting here right now can think of a new story or something
that we have seen in our lives that talk about people that you will never meet probably
in real life, that if God was only doing things based on need and based on fairness, they
would all be at the top of the list.
And we would be way, way, way, way down the list somewhere here in America, agreed?
Even the people tonight that are picking up the pieces of their lives because of these
hurricanes that have blown through.
And at the end of tonight, we will pray for a few moments, and we have been praying, and
we thank God that the things that have happened there were not the devastation that was forecasted.
Praise the Lord, but there was devastation.
I just talked to my friend that lives in Bradenton, Florida, which is one of the places that was
heavy hit, Sarasota Coastline, Bradenton, the Anamaria Islands, and there's people that
have lost everything.
There are people that have lost their homes.
There are people that have lost pets and that have lost businesses and all different types
of things there.
So we will talk about that.
But let's not put God in that category of human fairness, okay?
And so back to what scripture says about us being able to step into suddenlies.
So we're living in a year that has been set aside, that has been cast.
As a year, when the curtain comes up of suddenlies, Amos 913, and suddenly the
Reaper overtakes the plowman blessings pouring out so fast, it's making your
head spin.
Now, once again, that may not be anything that you've worked hard for, not anything
that you were expecting and not anything that you feel is deserved because of what
you have done to merit it.
Oftentimes, suddenlies, while they happen suddenly to someone, it is because of
someone else's faith, someone else's perseverance, someone else's hard work,
someone else's you fill in the blank.
In fact, I would venture to say that each and every one of you is sitting here
partaking of the beautiful joy of salvation because someone in your history,
who you probably never even met, interceded for you.
You are the fruit of their prayers.
They didn't get to see that manifestation, but you get to live it.
And you may know who that person is, a grandma or great grandma, a grandpa, a
parent, but you also may not know.
You may think that you're a first generation Christian in your lineage.
Raise your hand if you think you're a first generation Christian.
Raise your hand if, as far as you know, you're the first person in your family to
surrender your life and worship Jesus.
Let's see those hands.
Let's see them go up.
Let's see them.
Hands still going up.
All right.
Now, while I'm so excited that you are the first member of your family in your
knowledge to follow Christ, and I believe that you are a kinsman redeemer, and I
don't want to take that away from you.
I want to tell you that somewhere back in your lineage and legacy,
someone was a friend of God.
Somebody was God's friend.
And that is why you are here today, raising your hand that you have made the
best decision of your life to follow Jesus.
You are the fruit.
And maybe someday you'll find out who that is before heaven.
There's all kinds of lineage, uh, websites.
In fact, I was going down that rabbit hole today.
Cause someone gave me a link and I was like, let me just take a look because
before today, today, I didn't know what my great great grandparents names were.
I know now.
Okay.
We've got some crazy names in this family.
It's like, did your mama name you that really Ebeneezer?
I'm not really sure.
So that being said, somebody, somebody was a friend of God and
we thank God for those people.
And so you are, you are the fruit of those prayers.
They never got to see you.
Jesus on the cross.
It said that he endured the suffering and the shame because of what the
joy that was set before him.
What was that?
He got a glimpse of all of us, y'all.
I believe in that moment, he glimpsed all that were to come.
And that brought great joy to him because remember he was all God, but he was also
all man and the man part of him definitely did not want to do what it was doing.
Isn't that exciting?
And so someone someday is going to have a suddenly because of you, but right now I
want to talk about the sudden leaves that we're going to experience, even just in
this calendar year, because of somebody else and specifically because of Jesus
on that cross, but from everybody else after that, that was an obedience to the
things that God asked them to do.
And us being able to walk into those harvests.
Are you guys excited about that?
Let's go ahead and read.
Actually, I want to read it.
I want to read it from the message translation, because I just like the way
it says, let's read the suddenly scripture.
I call it the suddenly scripture because I like it to be called that in my mind.
So let's go to Amos chapter nine, please.
If you would remember, I'm going to go with the message.
If you don't like the message, you're offended by the message.
I'm not sorry.
I'm just trying to help you.
I'm just trying to get a point across.
You can read in the King James, the new King James, the NIV.
You can read in the Sanskrit scrolls if you'd like, but I'm trying to get a
specific point across here and I'm going to read in the message.
You're like, Jackie, why did you have to say that?
Because people email me and tell me, don't you know that that translation is heresy.
I'm like, Jackie, why did you have to say that?
Because people email me and tell me, don't you know that that translation is heresy.
That's why. So I'm just letting you know, I'm reading because there's some specific wording
here. And remember, this is, this is an interpretation, not a direct translation.
And so here we go. All right. Chapter nine, verse 13. Let's start at verse 13.
It says, yes, indeed. It won't be long now. God's decree.
Things are going to happen so fast. Your head will swim one thing fast on the heels of the other.
You won't be able to keep up and everywhere you look blessings, blessings, like wine,
pouring off the mountains and hills. I will make everything right again for my people.
They will build their, they they'll rebuild their ruined cities. They'll plant vineyards
and drink good wine. They'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I will plant them
on their own land and they will never again be uprooted from the land I've given them.
God, your God says so. That is known as the suddenly scripture in my mind.
And every time I see nine 13 anywhere. I'm reminded that God does things in our lives
suddenly. And that's why it's always good to be expectantly prudent preparation of God's
goodness in your life. What is expectantly preparing also known as waiting. The word
weight in the Bible is defined as expectantly preparing. And so if you're always expectantly
prepared for what, for God's goodness, God's goodness, and what in everything and anything.
Whatever he's promised you, whatever he said, whatever you hope in your heart of hearts,
your heart's desire to see happen in your lifetime, be prepared for those things.
Because what we are prepared for and what we believe can happen happens.
Okay. And so let's talk about our future being in our mouths
because we're in the year of the pay. Hey, we want to talk about how our words are being
weighed differently this year. Do you believe that?
Okay. So we want to talk about how our words, and I wrote this down, our words
are going to hit differently this year. Okay. I believe that our, our words matter and they
always matter. You guys, your words always matter. There's so much scripture in the Bible
about your mouth and the words that come out of it. And I'll read a few of those scriptures just
because I believe that. Anytime God says, Hey, this is what this year is about specifically.
Then we have to understand that our participation in that is going to be weighed differently.
Isn't it? Now, this is not an old fashioned church service where you're going to be afraid
to say anything negative ever. And you're going to have toxic positivity and, you know,
positive mental attitude. That is not the fruit of tonight's session.
The fruits of tonight's session is to understand that words come from identity.
What we believe is what we become and what we become. We attract, remember the law of attraction,
the biblical law of attraction that you saw in the heart work. And some of you are still in
the heart work because we've invited phase one and phase two to join us tonight. Remember the
revealing for healing cycle. And we're going to talk a little bit about where these words that
come out of our mouth come from. How did they get in our heart in the first place? That's week two.
That's week two of your heart work, understanding the heart, understanding how did that get there?
That's important. And we'll do a little bit of that work. Then we're gonna do a little bit of
the pruning and purging that you see in this revealing for healing cycle, a little bit of
heart work in that area so that we can be ready to speak, not just our future, but the future of
those that are around us in this year, in this suddenly year. Does that sound good? You guys
ready to be activated in this? All right. All right, guys. All right. I'm just trying to see
where I want to go first. I think where I'm going to go first is I'm just going to read for you
some of the scriptures that have been aggregated here about your words, just to kind of give you
an idea of how many scriptures in the Bible. I'm not going to read all of them. There's way too
many to read, but kind of give you an idea about how powerful your words are. God said we were
created in his image and he spoke everything that you see into existence with his words,
except for you.
You were created intentionally by God's loving hands.
Everything else, the cosmos, the sun, the stars,
the moon, the firmaments, all of the things, the galaxies.
Do you know that they said that there's as many stars
as there are grains of sand?
Have you guys ever got sand stuck to your foot?
There's probably a gazillion grains of sand
right on your foot.
How in the world?
All of that spoke into existence by God's mouth, his words.
Right?
That's crazy town.
Just thinking about that hurts my brain.
It hurts it.
Okay, so if we've been created in his image,
then we also carry creative power in our words, do we not?
Have we been created in the image of God?
And if his words, it says that when God says it,
it happens.
That's why he can't lie.
And you're like, well, but why is it not manifest
immediately when God says it?
God gives me promises, they don't immediately manifest
because we already talked about the first, second,
and third heavens.
We talked about warfare, spiritual warfare.
We also talked about partnering with God's word
to walk it out because we are the manifestors
of a lot of what God tells us.
Does that all make sense to everyone?
Okay, so let's just read a few of these scriptures
about our words.
Whoever would love life and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
That's first Peter 3.10.
Colossians 4.6 says,
let your conversation be always full of grace,
seasoned with salt so that you may know
how to answer everyone.
Ephesians 4.29 says, do not let any unwholesome talk
come out of your mouth.
So that means unhealthy right there.
It means, I actually, I'm gonna use this scripture later.
So I'll talk to you about it later,
but only what is helpful for building others up
according to their needs
so that it may benefit those who hear you.
You guys hear that?
Do not let anything unwholesome come out of your mouth,
but only what is helpful for building others up
according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen.
Proverbs 10.19, sin is not ending by multiplying words.
It means sin doesn't go away because you talk a lot,
but the prudent hold their tongues.
You guys, I just wanna tell you something.
Really the definition of that scripture is this.
People know what's wrong with them.
They need to know what's right with them.
Write that down.
People already know what's wrong with them.
You're not gonna keep them from sinning
by pointing the finger at them
and telling them who they ought to be.
If you wanna use your mouth with someone who's stuck in sin,
then tell them who they could be, build them up,
find the gold in them.
Proverbs 15.4, the soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15.28, you notice that a lot of these scriptures
about the tongue are in the book of wisdom, Proverbs.
Proverbs 15.28, the heart of the righteous
weighs its answers.
What does that mean?
That means slow to talk, y'all.
Weighs its answers, processes what it's about to say.
The heart of the righteous weighs its answers,
but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.
Yikes.
Proverbs 17.9, whoever would foster love
covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
What does that mean?
That means that just because you see it
doesn't mean you need to say it.
All right?
Doesn't mean you need to repeat it.
This is about gossiping.
This is about judgments, about criticism.
We'll get into all that here in a little while.
What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them.
That word defile means ruin, it means spoil.
But what comes out of their mouth,
that is what spoils things.
That's what destroys things.
Matthew 15.11.
Proverbs 21.23, those who guard their mouths
and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.
James says that your tongue kindles a lot of trouble.
It makes a big fire, right?
Go to the book of James.
I'm not gonna go to the book of James right now,
but it talks about how this tiny little part of you
can make big trouble for you.
Proverbs 26.20 says, without wood, a fire goes out.
And without a gossip,
A quarrel dies down.
Proverbs 31, 26.
She speaks with wisdom
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Who's that talking about y'all?
That's Proverbs 31.
That's the Proverbs 31 depiction of the divine feminine.
She speaks with wisdom
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Psalm 34, 13.
In fact, I just want to say something.
There's a lot of scriptures about men and about them,
you know, being righteous and speaking righteous words,
but there are a lot of scriptures about women
using their mouths to tear down their houses
and their families, okay?
Nagging, all different types of things.
Not following godly precepts,
which is the law of kindness being in your tongue.
It says that,
I think it says something like a foolish woman,
a righteous woman builds up her house,
but a foolish woman tears it down.
And then it's indicative of her tearing it down
by not following godly precepts,
including the law of love being in her mouth, right?
So tearing down.
We think of tearing people down.
If you think of someone getting torn down,
what is immediately the thing you think of?
How did they get torn down?
Like, oh man, they got torn down.
They got torn down by someone calling them out, right?
It was with someone's verbal attack
that they got torn down, okay?
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
Psalms 34, 13.
Psalms 141.3 says, set a guard over my mouth, Lord.
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Titus 3, 1 and 2 says, remind the people
to be subject to rulers and authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good
and to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate
and always to be gentle towards everyone.
Y'all, I'm in trouble.
Jeez, we're all in trouble.
Proverbs 18, 20 and 21.
From the fruit of their mouth, a person's stomach is filled.
With the harvest of their lips, they are satisfied.
The tongue has the power of life and death
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Guys, that scripture really means they that love to talk
will eat the fruit of their words.
I want you to raise your hand and be honest.
If you just love to talk, you got detention in school
because you were talking when you weren't supposed to.
You were a chatty Kathy.
You were a chatty Ken.
Kathy and Ken.
I actually know a married couple
that were named Kathy and Ken.
Let's see the hands.
You were talking.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
Love to talk.
On the phone, talking to your friends.
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
Got the gift of communication.
It's not a bad thing.
I wanna see those hands.
Quite a lot of people are saying that they are not talkers
and that's interesting.
But we do have enough people with their hands up saying,
there's 27 of you with your hands up
saying that you're 28 now.
Someone got convicted of lying and now there's 29.
I'm just joking.
Now there's 32.
The conviction of the Lord is here.
What's happening?
Let's see, there's 35 now.
Some people are like define talker, Jackie.
All right.
36, 36 people with their hands up.
This scripture is saying that if you love to talk,
you need to be careful.
If you have that gift of communication,
you need to be careful because life and death
are in the power of your speech,
of your communication, of your language.
And if you love to talk, you're gonna eat its fruit.
And why does it say that about people who love it,
love to talk?
Because you and I both know that if you're a talker
and you talk a lot, you're more likely
than someone who's not a talker
to say something you shouldn't, huh?
Right?
Am I right?
Foot and mouth disease, anybody else?
I'm lowering all your hands,
all the people that said you love to talk.
And even those of you that don't love to talk,
but do talk, raise your hand
if you have said things that you shouldn't have said.
You're just going along, you're talking,
then all of a sudden, oh, I shouldn't have said that.
Maybe you told somebody.
else's secret accidentally. Oh, so-and-so's pregnant. Oh, you
didn't know that? Oops, didn't mean to say it. Why'd you say
it? Because you were talking too much. That's why. Right? You're
talking and talking and talking and you say something unwholesome.
You say something that you shouldn't say. Right? You bad
mouth someone or you talk about something that the other person
you're talking to finds offensive. Anyone ever been in a
conversation with someone that you just met and everything's
going great. You met them, you're talking to them,
everything's great. But you're a talker. So you start talking.
And if you're like me, you're an awkward talker. And you start
talking when things get awkward. And then all of a sudden you
find that you've said something that you never meant to say, but
you said it because you ran out of things to say and then it
just popped into your head and out of your mouth. And now
you've offended this person that you're talking to. Anybody else?
You're just talking away and then you're like, well, you
know, yeah, it's hard here with the election season in America,
but you know, could be worse. We could live in Canada. And the
next thing that they say is, I'm from Canada. You're like, Oh,
oh, no. Am I right? I want someone to be like, Oh, no, I'm
I want someone to put up in the chat the last time that you put
your foot in your mouth. What did? What did you do? What did
you do? If someone wants to unmute themselves and very
briefly tell us about the last time they put their foot in the
mouth, we'd be more than happy to hear your confession. This is
the activation part, you guys, we've got to get ahold of this.
Hello, I actually sent a message to a older Christian lady
because at the time, my sister and I weren't getting on and
there were issues. And so I sent this SMS to thinking I was
sending it to my friend and I'd sent it to my sister. So it's
Yes. Yes. Anybody else? You guys, the worst thing that you
can do when you're upset about something is open your mouth. It
is the worst thing that you can do, right? Yes. Because the
chances of something coming out of there that you cannot take
back and that you are not going to want to have said later,
you're not going to want to have said later, you're not going to
want to have said later, you're not going to want to have said
and that you are not going to want to have said later is good.
The chance is good. And for those of you that maybe you're
not angry in the moment, but you're just angry in general
towards someone or something. And you just can't really be
trusted to talk about that subject. Because if that subject
comes up, there's so much resentment in your heart towards
that person, or that thing, that you're just going to say things
that are very unwholesome. Right? You're going to say
things that here I have the definition of unwholesome,
unhealthy, bad for the well being of the body, mind and
spirit of the person that's hearing you of you. So you're
going to say something that you shouldn't say. Yeah, you feel
that way. But you shouldn't say it. Okay, let's keep going here.
I thought there was a scripture like that to
evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk and the innocent
escape trouble from the fruit of their lips. People are filled
with good things and the work of their hands brings them
reward. Gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word
stirs up anger, you're just making it worse, y'all just
float, you're just throwing gasoline on that fire. When you
are in an argument with someone and you say something harsh, you
say something critical, you say something vicious, it's just
going to get worse. The tongue of the wise adores knowledge,
but the tongue of the fool gushes folly. There are six
things the Lord hates seven that are detestable to him. haughty
eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart
that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush to
evil, evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who
stirs up conflict in a community. You guys, how in the
world would you stir up conflict in a community? You'd have to
use your mouth, wouldn't you? The only way that you can stir
up conflict within community is by your communication, by your
speech, by your tongue. It says God, God hates and detests those
things. Right? Alright, so we took a look at that. This is not
a session of judgment, you guys. It isn't a session of
You shouldn't leave here feeling bad.
In fact, now that we've gotten that out of the way,
we're gonna empower, we're gonna be empowered.
God has brought us here to tell us
that we can manifest some stuff this year.
Not just for us, but for others,
that this is a year that has been set apart
as a year of manifestation.
Now, God's miracles, signs and wonders
are manifesting in the earth all the time.
But what if there was a concentrated period of time
where we saw more manifestations of heaven coming to earth
than we have ever seen?
Would that be amazing?
Do we believe?
Do we believe that that could happen?
I believe that it could happen.
And I don't know about you, but I want to participate.
I wanna go ahead and act like it's going to happen
and do it.
Okay, so I'm talking to myself
as much as I'm talking to you tonight, okay?
So our future is in our mouths.
So let's talk about our hearts.
Let's talk about the things that are in our hearts,
because the Bible says out of the abundance of the heart
is the mouth communicates.
The mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart.
It does.
And because it speaks out of the abundance of the heart
or the overflow of the heart,
Luke 6, 4, 5 says, I'm sorry,
Luke 6, 4, 5 says a good man brings good things
out of the good in his heart.
But it says something very specific there.
It says a good man, a good person brings good things
out of the good stored up in their heart.
That means there's a storehouse of good stuff in there
for a rainy day, for a situation, for a problem.
Did you guys know that problems are invitations to prophesy?
Problems are invitations to prophesy.
So we're gonna talk about that.
We're gonna see an example of that,
several examples of that specifically in the life of David.
Okay, that dude was in a lot of trouble, a lot.
And if anyone was gonna be super negative,
it was gonna be him.
But the reason why he wasn't super negative
is because in the secret place,
in the times of communion with the Lord,
he had stored up good things in his heart.
Identity, you guys,
this is why you can't fake it till you make it.
Behavior, including your verbal behavior,
it follows identity.
Identity doesn't follow behavior, behavior follows identity.
He knew who he was and whose he was
before any of the trouble started coming.
Started with the lion and the bear
coming after the sheep in the pasture.
And when he started facing trouble,
he did start to wax a little bit negative,
but then he caught himself and remembered who he was
because he had a storehouse of good things in his heart,
didn't he?
And he started to speak out of that.
Ever notice somehow a little bit spiritually schizophrenic
his psalms are?
Or they start kind of rehearsing the trouble that he's in,
and then all of a sudden it shifts into, but God is good.
God's gonna rescue me.
God's gonna help me.
The same God that delivered me,
from the lion and the bear is gonna deliver me
from this uncircumcised Philistine.
Do you guys, you see what's going on there?
There was a storehouse of good things
in his heart, of identity in his heart.
And anytime his feelings started to get out of control
because of circumstances,
and he started to speak out of that place,
he very quickly realized,
I don't have anything to be worried about.
The Lord is my light and salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord, he is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?
You guys, he wasn't speaking after the trouble was over.
These were prophetic moments.
When my foes came to devour me, they stumbled and fell.
What was he doing?
He was prophesying the demise of his enemy
because he had seen God defeat his enemy before.
So out of the storehouse of faith,
out of the storehouse of identity, his mouth was speaking.
Some of you, you talk to your problems
and you get super negative and you talk about your problems
because you just simply don't have enough history
with God yet.
You don't know his word.
You haven't been discipled in those things.
You haven't.
But tonight we're gonna talk about
how you can get some good stuff in there.
When I was a kid,
You guys, I'm from the Oregon Trail era.
So I'm, you know, on the cusp of the generations.
I'm considered an Xennial.
So a Gen X Millennial.
Okay.
Everyone remember Oregon Trail?
You guys remember playing that in school?
So we were the generation that in school
we started using computers.
Very, very crude computers.
Not anything like the computers they use today,
but still computers.
And there was a saying in computer class,
garbage in, garbage out.
Does anybody remember this
from the early, early, early days of computer?
Oregon Trail.
Christina, you live in Canada, right?
It's probably an American thing.
It was just like a very early computer game
that we played in school.
Okay.
So garbage in, garbage out.
What did that mean?
That meant that the computer was just a tool.
It was just a resource.
And it would put out whatever you put in it.
Whatever you programmed it with,
that was the output that it was going to give you.
You guys, if you fill yourself full of garbage,
then the only thing that's gonna come out of you is garbage.
Okay.
Yeah.
Garbage in, garbage out.
So where do these things that are in our hearts,
even if they are garbage,
has your heart become a trash bin, okay?
Has it?
Has it become a dumping ground
of trauma and other people's ideas of you
and all kinds of stuff that is not in alignment
with God's purposes and plans
and even your identity in the Lord?
That's what we have to start to ask ourselves tonight.
So we're gonna talk about that right now, okay?
So where do these things come from
that come out of our hearts?
Where did those words get in there?
How did they get in there?
You guys remember the revealing for healing cycle.
We're gonna remind you of where that worksheet is
so that you can go and kind of take inventory
of what's in your heart based on some of the negativity
that you've been speaking.
If you want to figure out how it got there,
all you have to do is follow the trail,
meaning that whatever words, negative words,
whatever death that you've been speaking,
you speak it regularly, you say things like,
oh, nothing good's ever gonna happen to me.
You say things like, oh, flu season's coming.
I'm sure I'm gonna get sick this year.
Like that kind of stuff, right?
It figures, any negative kind of things,
all you have to do is grab a hold of that
because it's come out of your mouth
and you just grab a hold of it
and then you walk it backwards.
When was the first time I said that?
When was the first time I heard that?
The first thing that I have on my list
as far as where our words come from,
a lot of it is imitation from family.
You're imitating it.
Guys, that's how we learn how to talk.
My little grandchildren right now,
if you say it in front of them,
they are going to repeat it.
And if it's not nice,
they're gonna repeat it in front of people
that's gonna make you feel embarrassed
when they say it out of their cute little innocent mouths
because the person's gonna look at you
and know where it came from.
Right?
My little grandson cannot pronounce the T-R in truck.
So guess what that word comes out sounding like
when you put the f sound in front of it.
Not good.
He's two years old.
Dropping f bombs.
He doesn't know though.
Language means nothing to him.
And that's important for you to remember.
When you were learning this
and you were imitating these words,
language probably didn't mean a whole lot to you.
You didn't understand what was behind some of the things
that you were imitating from your family.
Okay?
All right, so family imitation.
It can be secondhand trauma, inherited trauma,
meaning that people in your family,
they spoke bad about people.
They spoke with criticism about politics,
about certain people groups, certain skin colors,
certain ethnicities.
They spoke negatively about something
that happened in the family, other members of the family.
Raise your hand right now.
If you have secondhand trauma or inherited trauma,
you have bad feelings towards people in your family,
not because of firsthand experiences,
but because of experiences
that your family had with those people.
Raise your hand if you don't eat a certain brand of cereal
because someone talked bad about it.
or certain, you know, other brand,
a meat brand or eggs or milk brand,
raise your hand if you know that you have some sort of
inherited prejudice that has caused you to think negatively
and also speak negatively about something
that you have no firsthand knowledge of.
Oh, where do you live?
Oh, I live in Detroit.
Oh, Detroit.
You've ever been to Detroit?
No, I just heard about it.
I heard it's terrible there.
You guys see what I'm saying?
Do we understand?
Friends, we have to let go of this.
And so where do other words that are coming out of us
from our programming come from?
Personal experience.
Okay, so that's secondhand experience.
A lot of you raised your hand admitting,
hey, yeah, I have some preconceived ideas,
negative ideas about people, places, things, products
because of other people and their trauma with that thing.
Now, personal trauma.
It's you're the person that has the firsthand experience.
And you guys, this can go to the other side too.
It could go into the good as well.
It doesn't have to just be negative.
You had a great experience with something
and now you're singing its praises.
In fact, a lot of people have come to this program
because you have sung the praises of this program.
And then people have been like, wow, you were speaking life.
And then other people caught onto that and then they came.
The same goes the other way.
If you say, oh, hey, don't eat at this restaurant,
I got food poisoning there.
Then the people that know you are gonna be like,
oh no, I can't.
Every time they think about eating there,
they're not gonna eat there
because they're gonna be afraid of getting food poisoning.
Am I wrong?
It could just be a one-off for you,
but you had trauma there
and now other people are taking up your offense.
Other people are taking up your trauma
and it is causing them to feel a certain way,
think a certain way
and speak a certain way about certain things.
You can do that with people.
I have seen people in churches
because they had a bad experience with someone
they went on a date with that went to their church.
It wasn't because the person was bad or evil.
It wasn't because the person was a narcissist or an abuser.
It wasn't because the person was trying to get them in bed.
It was because they simply didn't click.
They didn't get along.
And now they're poisoning everybody else that's single
that would go out with them
by what they are rehearsing from the date.
That ain't good.
I mean, couldn't it just been, hey, bygones?
We didn't get along.
We didn't see eye to eye.
We're definitely not right for each other,
but it doesn't mean that there's someone else
that's not right for them.
We don't want to what?
We don't want to spoil, poison, pollute
or destroy their opportunity.
The Bible says that we're not defiled by what comes in,
but we are defiled about what comes out.
We can destroy and pollute
and ruin someone else's opportunity.
That could happen in a group like this.
You could date someone in here,
go on a date, just have a video call.
Maybe you're long distance.
You didn't like it.
You didn't think it went well.
You didn't like something they said,
got your panties in a wad about something
because you need to do your hard work
and you're easily offended.
But all of a sudden now,
you're gonna make sure that they don't get a date
with anyone else here because you're gonna talk about them
and spoil their opportunity to meet someone else.
No.
And just by the way, this is just a side note.
We love you and we bless you,
but that's a one strike and you're out situation.
We catch anyone participating in,
if you really think someone's unsafe,
you bring it to leadership.
You email us about it.
Otherwise, we're gonna speak live to each other.
We're gonna support each other in finding spirit mates.
We are not gonna be a place
where we participate in stuff like that.
Cool, that's all.
All right, where else can this stuff get in our hearts?
I think this is the most dangerous one, you guys,
and God's really been talking to me about this.
I mean, really talking to me about it.
Media.
I want you to raise your hand and be honest
if you are a scroller.
Scroll, scroll, scroll.
Let's see them.
See the hands.
You don't have to do it every day, but you do it.
You do it enough that you do it.
You scroll.
You scroll on your phone,
just kind of mindlessly going down the rabbit hole,
seeing what everybody's up to,
seeing what reels or funny videos or whatever's going on.
You stop, you watch something,
then you scroll.
You scroll, how, how many of you that have been raising your hands?
There's 85 already raised.
I'm going to reload.
I'm going to lower them.
Now I want you to raise your hand.
If you find yourself staying, cause you're mindlessly scrolling, but then
you find yourself stopping and staying and watching something, and then all
of a sudden you realize that it's not something that you want to watch, but
it's kind of too late cause you already saw it, it's not something you want to
watch, you thought it was something different, or maybe you didn't even
think it was something different.
You had a morbid curiosity to see what it was because of the, you know,
they call it a hook, the thing that was trying to catch you and it hooked
you and you watched it and then afterwards you just felt gross.
You just felt gross because it was either inappropriate or it
was something scary or morbid.
Guys, I can't tell you how many times I have been scrolling and I went and
stopped and I looked at something only I was thinking, Oh yeah, this is,
this looks like a cute story.
And then it was a horrible story.
It was a horrific clickbait mess.
And then unfortunately, sometimes if you click on that clickbait, it's
actually spam and then it'll spam everyone else in your entire friends
list and then all your friends will click on that same clickbait thinking
that it's a cute story and it's not a cute story and then everyone gets
spammed and they think you sent it to them.
And then you got to change your password.
By the way, that's what you have to do.
You change your password.
Okay.
All right.
So only a few of you raised your hand saying that you have inadvertently
watched something that made you feel icky afterwards, really four of you.
I don't believe that I'm going to wait till you get your hands up
inadvertently, or you just, you know, you kind of just had your guard down.
You really just, you've been watching things.
Maybe that you're having less, um, self-control is not the word it is a
word, but you're, you're, um, you're having less standards is the word that
I want about what you will stop and kind of take a look at still only
69 of you have your hand up and I just don't believe it.
I don't believe the rest of you have never watched something that afterwards
you're like, man, I wish I wouldn't have watched that.
I wish I wouldn't have watched that.
Okay.
I think some of y'all don't know how to put up the avatar hand and that's okay.
I think some of y'all actually don't know how to put up the avatar hand and
that is okay.
It's okay.
All right.
So you guys, this is something that God has really been talking to me about with
the whole garbage in garbage out thing.
I promise you, you may not think this is affecting you, but what you are
consuming on media, I'll just add music in there too.
Maybe a lot of you aren't really listening to music, you know, regularly.
I listen to Spotify every time I'm in the car, usually a lot of times worship,
but sometimes I'll go to the oldies, like the yacht rock I'll listen to the
sixties and seventies and I've been noticing all of a sudden in songs that
my mom used to listen to that I loved as a kid, you know, from the Eagles or
different bands that there, there's some questionable themes in those songs that
I never noticed before, like the beat, definitely like the music, but there's
some questionable themes of adultery and fornication and drug use and different
things that even though my conscious mind is not picking up on those themes, guess
what, guess who is picking up on it?
My little old heart,
my little old heart.
Every time I'm in a teeny bopper store, cause you guys know I have two
daughters in their twenties.
And so I was wearing teeny bopper clothes.
I'm going to go ahead and admit it.
I'm going to confess to you.
I was wearing clothes that people in college wear because I was shopping with
my daughters and they had me dressing like a teeny bopper.
Okay.
I am now growing up, except for this off the shoulder sweatshirt that I do like.
All right.
But I am going to start dressing more grown up tomorrow, but listen, I want to
tell you something, the music that they play in these stores is designed to cause
the people that shop in these stores, namely young people to want to fornicate,
to want to drink, to want to go to the club, to want to, to, you know, um, do
drugs, you know, to want to all the things it's designed to, and it's got such a
great beat that you just can't help.
Then get kind of lost in it.
You're like, Oh no, no, you're dancing.
You're talking about all the things that are in this song and your conscious mind
is just glossing that over.
Cause it's just a song and it doesn't mean anything, but all the unconscious
themes are getting into where here.
And guess what?
They're going to eventually come out of here.
They are.
They're going to come out of here.
And it's important that we understand that.
But I wanna talk to you guys
that are really probably not dancing around
to teeny bopper songs about going clubbing
and having one night stands,
but you may be watching true crime.
I want you to raise your hand if you watch true crime.
And that includes all the true crime.
It includes all the LAPD and all the CNIS
and all of the lawyer shows
that talk about some crime has been committed
and now the lawyers have to go and argue in court
about who's innocent and who's not.
But it talks about the details of those crimes.
I wanna see all of you, and I'm included, my hands up.
I love a good lawyer show.
I love a good cop show.
I love a good suspense thriller situation.
You guys, I'm about to hurt all your feelings a lot
because Holy Spirit hurt my feelings.
And so now I'm gonna hurt your feelings.
These movies are filling us full of fear,
us full of fear, suspicion, negativity,
prejudice, embarrassment.
You guys, they are, they are.
And it's gonna be so hard not to watch them
because I love a good mystery.
And those shows are full of good mystery
and I just don't know.
But I'm telling you, if you're continuously watching shows
about someone getting murdered and slaughtered,
about people getting raped,
about all kinds of evil devilish things
that people are doing to each other, it is affecting you.
I know that you're like,
oh, but my mind knows that it's not real,
but your heart doesn't.
And you know what else doesn't?
Your nervous system.
Your nervous system doesn't know that it's not real.
Did you know that watching something,
someone get murdered on a show
is the same as watching someone get murdered in real life
as far as your endocrine system is concerned?
They've proven it scientifically.
Your body, your fight or flight response
does not know the difference between fact and fiction.
Your adrenaline is going to release the same way as it would
if you were actually witnessing someone getting hurt.
And it's a good thing because you guys,
the minute that that stops bothering you, that's bad.
Becoming desensitized.
You guys have heard that word, right?
Just desensitized.
Because if you're desensitized to watching someone
get completely destroyed in front of you on a movie
and it just doesn't bother you, you're like, whatever.
Then you eat a cupcake and go to bed, whatever.
You're going to find that in real life events,
things in the news, things that you hear about
that have really happened to real people,
you're not going to feel empathy.
You're not going to feel an urge to pray.
You're not going to feel the urgency of the spirit.
You're not going to.
You're just going to be like, oh, that's terrible.
Sorry to hear that.
If you even feel that.
Yes, working in a prison, that would be very, very rough.
And in fact, I want you to consider
that there's a expiration date on that kind of ministry.
You guys, there's an expiration date on the type of ministry,
the job, the vocation, where you are dealing
with high level stress constantly.
Dealing with kids with behavior problems, teachers.
I have one of my best friends is a first grade teacher.
She said, Jackie, in the last 10 years,
she said, I used to have maybe one or two kids
with behavior problems from troubled families.
Now I have a whole class full of them.
There's an expiration date on that type of stuff.
Let someone new right out of college go ahead
that's fresh and ready to take that on.
Let them take that on.
Maybe it's time for you to move on
to some other kind of vocation.
Use your teaching gift in a different way.
Working in a hospital,
especially in high crisis kind of place.
Maybe it's time for you to take a breather
from some of that and use that gift
in a different department.
Maybe it's time for you to work with birthing babies
instead of people dying, people being born.
I know that you can't just switch around in the hospital.
Trust me, I understand that.
But at the same time, you can do something different.
And I don't know what that looks like, but God does.
And so you guys, we have to begin to really think
about what we're thinking about and what we are watching.
Repetition, especially if you listen to the same type
of things over and over again.
Some people listen to those true crime podcasts
that are just, all it is is a retelling of gruesome details
of some horrible thing that happened to somebody.
You guys, that is not good for you.
It's never good for you.
It's gonna make you suspicious of strangers.
It's gonna make you always looking over one shoulder.
It's going to cause all kinds of issues in your life.
Do not do it.
Don't.
If you're addicted to it,
break the dopamine rush that you get from being afraid,
from hearing horrible things.
Guys, I was on an airplane for a long time.
It was a five hour flight from Boston to Austin.
And the man that was sitting parallel to me,
like not parallel, but perpendicular to me, okay?
So I'm here and then he's not right here,
which would have been great, but he's right here.
So his screen on the back of his seat,
it was impossible for me not to see it
out of the corner of my eye unless I closed my eyes
or unless I went like this.
This airline, Delta, which is my airline,
and I usually like Delta,
but in their library of content, you guys,
they have horror movies.
I'm not talking like scary movies.
I'm talking about hack them up,
cut people into little pieces, gore.
And this man was watching one of those movies.
I looked at him, guys,
and I had so much disgust for this man.
I'm just being honest right now.
I was disgusted by him.
I was sitting in the seat of the scornful.
I was, because I was like,
how dare you, you disgusting pig?
That's literally what I was thinking.
God, forgive me.
I was.
And why?
Because he was watching this movie
that was full of gratuitous nudity
and people being murdered,
and like by serial killer kind of murder,
like gore, okay, horror.
And I just had to like,
I couldn't get away from it.
For hours, this was going on.
Blood and guts and nasty, sickening stuff.
And he was just sitting there,
because I looked at him with disdain, right?
He's just sitting there,
eating his food,
just watching these people get massacred.
And I was so angry.
And the reason why he was able to do that
is because he's been completely desensitized.
These people screaming,
getting hacked up by chainsaws,
all the gore, all the blood,
all the nastiness,
didn't face him at all.
He didn't care.
He was like dozing off,
eating his Delta cookies and sun chips.
Now, I do not have a right to sit
in the seat of the scornful.
Is it possible that that could make me prejudiced
against men that look like him?
Men that act like him?
Could that cause there to be some prejudice in my heart
where I see people,
and then I'm just like, ugh.
Yes.
And you guys, this is the kind of stuff
that actually is gonna get in the way
of you being able to manifest your promise.
All right.
So, if you wanna know if something is good for you,
healthy for you to consume
as far as media and music and all the things,
ask yourself this,
what kind of fruit does it produce in me after I see it?
What kind of fruit does it produce in me?
Do I feel afraid when I'm watching it?
Afterwards, am I kind of afraid of the dark,
afraid to go to sleep?
Do I feel embarrassed when I'm watching it
because the things that people are doing to each other,
it's not good?
Does it make me feel negative?
Does it bring up any kind of negative fruit in you?
You guys pay attention to that
because the answer is then no.
If it does not, if it doesn't educate you,
make you feel concerned and proactive,
it doesn't bring up justice in you.
I love good entertainment,
entertainment that provokes us to good things.
And I'm not saying it all has to be Christian movies
because I hate Christian movies.
They're the most cheesy things I've ever seen
until the Chosen.
The Chosen is good, y'all.
All right.
The producers from that same production company
have been making some other movies like Cabrini,
great movie that will just bring justice,
Sound of Freedom, hard to watch.
I could never watch it again,
but it was really well-made.
Sound of Hope, also really great movie.
Lots of good things coming out,
action-packed kind of things,
things that are about real life events that happen
like wars and different things,
things that educate you,
things that help you to understand other people groups.
All of that is good.
I'm not saying that you have to completely
not see anything that has any violence in it.
That's not what this is about.
This is about things that have no value to you
and are causing you to be negative.
All right.
The Bible tells us to meditate
on what's lovely, pure, and good, Philippians 4.8.
Guys, this is why fake it till you make it
is not sustainable.
I know that we could just make a list of declarations
and go on with our way tonight,
but that is not sustainable
because whatever's in your heart
is gonna eventually come out of your mouth.
I can tell you to make a list of declarations,
but you'll do-
Do that for a couple of weeks,
and you'll go right back to speaking death again,
if that's what's in there.
Okay?
And so this is about us really understanding
that whatever we focus on,
like it's kind of like Lot,
he pitched his tent towards Sodom,
and then he ended up in Sodom, didn't he?
He started out on the outskirts,
just pitching his tent towards something,
but he was beholding it.
Isn't this year the word behold?
Isn't that this year, right, suddenly?
And so he was looking at it, he was beholding it,
and then he eventually ended up participating in it.
And so it's important that we understand that.
All right, the Bible says in Job 22, 28,
declare a thing and it will be established for you.
God's promises are an invitation to partner.
Guys, if you have a promise from God,
even just in his word, didn't have to tell you in prayer,
you didn't have to have someone speak a word over you.
If you have a promise in his word
that you're holding onto for your own life in any area,
you seeing that and you partnering with that,
that was God's invitation.
When you saw it in the word, when it jumped out at you,
and you're like, hey, this speaks to my situation,
I believe that God's speaking to me,
that was his invitation for you to partner with that, okay?
With his blessings, with his plans, with his purposes,
with his strategies, to speak life.
Does anyone remember that old movie
with Hayley Mills, Pollyanna?
Does anyone remember that?
Well, it became kind of a verb.
People would call people
that were ultra positive Pollyannas, right?
At least they did in the places that I come from.
All right, so that's just what it means.
It means like a super positive person
who always tries to find the silver lining
or the good in something.
And in that movie, Pollyanna played the glad game,
even though she didn't really have any reason to be glad
because she was an orphan and she was abandoned
and the person that adopted her and the family
didn't like her and was really mean to her.
There was all different reasons
why she could have been super negative,
but inside of her, there was a storehouse of hope.
Inside of her, there was a storehouse of faith
that this wasn't the end.
The story's not over yet.
And so she began to speak out of that storehouse
instead of speaking to what she saw,
she spoke to what she wanted to see.
And that's the invitation God has for you guys tonight.
Instead of speaking to what you see,
speak to what you wanna see.
This is what I wrote down for you guys.
Send your words out the way that you want things to go.
You guys, it's not name it and claim it.
It's not blab it and grab it.
This is God's word.
And this is not a do it one time and if it doesn't work,
quit and go back to nay saying.
This is a lifestyle shift.
Not just for this year, 57, 85,
but hopefully it will become a habit.
All right?
We used to play the glide game early in this community.
And some of you OGs remember that.
We played the glide game.
And why did we play the glide game?
Because so many women were showing up complaining
about just what pigs men were.
Guys, sorry about that.
Had to just let you know that's what was happening.
They were so mad at men.
Men suck.
There's no good men left in the earth.
Oh, you know, nobody likes me.
Everybody hates me.
I think I'll eat some worms
was every single day in our community
until I got to the point where I was like,
enough, we're gonna play the glide game.
We're gonna go on a negativity fast.
And so we started to have to do something really fun.
And that was this.
We started to have to do something called good gossip.
Guys remember this?
Raise your hand if you remember,
you've been here long enough.
All my coaches that are already married
should definitely remember this
because you were here during that.
Good gossip, and this is what it looks like.
When we gossip about people, it's never good.
It's always something bad's happening.
Did you hear about so-and-so?
Their husband left, their dog died, their truck broke down.
It's like a bad country song, right?
But good gossip looked like us speaking life
to what we wanted to see happen in our lives.
It looked like us coming into agreement with God
and beginning to gossip about ourselves.
Did you hear about Gail?
Oh yeah, all of her daughters came over
for Christmas this year
and they had a big, huge family gathering
and it was so amazing.
They all chipped in and they bought her something
that she's wanted for a really long time
and she was so excited.
And she got to see her grandchildren
and they're beginning to build relationship with each other.
Wow, look what God has done.
That's what it looks like.
And so that will be an assignment.
That will be an activation that we're gonna do tonight.
In fact, I think we're just gonna go ahead
and jump into that.
for the next 15 minutes.
We're gonna do some good gossip.
We're gonna begin to talk about, send our words out,
speak what is not as though it is.
You guys, it can't stop here.
If your storehouse of good is empty in your heart,
then you have to fill it with something.
You have to.
You have to begin to rehearse what God has done.
And if you really don't have that much history,
maybe you're a new believer,
then you need to rehearse it
with what good God has done for other people.
You guys, I used to have to do that.
When I first met Jesus, I did not have history with Jesus
and everything that had happened in my life was bad.
In fact, I had a hard time trusting God
because I was like, God, if you're everywhere,
when I started finding out about God
and that the fact that he's omnipotent and he's omniscient
and he's everywhere and he sees everything,
I got super pissed off.
I had given my heart to Jesus and I was full of joy
and I was so happy and I was filled with love.
And then people started teaching me about God.
And when I found that out about him,
I actually started throwing things.
I started punching holes in walls and breaking stuff.
Why?
Because I had been through a lot of stuff in my life
as an innocent child that did not deserve any of that stuff.
Now you're telling me that God was there for that
and he allowed it to happen
because he's all knowing and all seeing.
I had a major problem with that, friends.
I'm just being honest.
28 years ago, I had a major problem with that.
And that was enough for me to walk away
from the faith right there.
And why?
Because I didn't have enough history with God to sustain me.
Not good history.
And so I had to start borrowing other people's history.
God gave me the grace to overcome that.
He spoke to me about some things.
He told me where he was during those dark times in my life.
And yes, Mike, it was very hard to reconcile that,
but he gave me the grace to reconcile it and trust him
even when I couldn't trace him in those stories.
But I will tell you something amazing and supernatural
has happened in the last 28 years.
Those stories actually have been reframed
not into what happened to me,
but into what God did through what happened to me.
They've been reframed into, because of my infirmities,
the power of God rests upon me differently.
Because of what I experienced, God walked through me,
he walked with me through it.
He didn't deliver me from it,
but he walked with me through it.
I look back and I see God's sovereign hand on me
from my mother's womb on.
I should have been an aborted baby.
I'm the only, I'm the last child of my parents
that made it out of the womb alive.
The rest of my brothers and sisters were aborted.
Guys, I have five siblings in heaven
that I have yet to meet that were aborted.
God protected me in my mother's womb.
By the time she was pregnant with me,
she already had a 18 month old toddler
and she already knew that my father
was abusive and an addict.
And so it would have been very easily,
I would have been very easy to abort
just like all the children that came after.
But God protected me.
He put his hand upon me.
He kept me and that's what he said to me.
He said, I have been with you since your mother's womb.
And yes, you've experienced things
because of other people's free choice and free will,
he said, but I never allowed any of those things
to destroy you.
I tasted that bitter fruit y'all, but it didn't poison me.
Because look where I am today.
I should be in some mental institution somewhere or dead,
but I'm not, I'm right here doing what?
Furthering the kingdom.
In the area of marriage and family.
Can we all just laugh at the devil?
Would you like to do that with me?
Come on, crazy town, crazy.
The least qualified to do such a thing right here.
And yet here we are.
And so you guys, you might have to borrow
some good report from other people
until God reframes the things
that have happened in your life
and you give them praise report for it.
Right?
Let's just talk about that for a second.
David sinned, he committed adultery,
committed murder, got the woman pregnant,
she has a son and he dies.
Right?
And then we see David in Psalm 51 saying this,
created me a clean heart, oh God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
He's like, my heart's full of bad stuff.
I can't believe that I've done these things.
And then in verse 14, he says, deliver me from guilt.
and then my tongue will sing loud of your righteousness.
Open my lips and my mouth will show your praise.
What's he want clean from?
He wants to be free from shame, sin, and guilt.
That will pollute your words like nothing else, friends.
It really will.
If we're still struggling with shame, sin, and guilt,
it's going to pollute our words.
Our words are gonna be negative.
Those negative words are gonna turn into negative behavior
because they come from negative identity,
and that is gonna turn into negative consequences,
and we do not want to manifest that this year.
Guys, I just wanna remind you,
this is a year of manifestation.
So either way, we're gonna manifest either way.
Let's manifest good.
Let's manifest good things for us and for others.
But I wanna point out that David is saying right here
that he will sing aloud of his righteousness
if God heals his heart.
Then my mouth will open up,
and the things that are gonna come out are full of joy
and righteousness and praise.
And so I know that sounds crazy,
especially for those of you that are in phase one
and you're just now starting heartwork,
but the things that you're forgiving people for
in week four, the things that you're confessing
in week three, the things that you think no good
can ever come of, and the things that you think
have destroyed your life forever,
one day you're gonna be giving God praise for those things.
Someday.
Someday you're gonna thank God
because you're going to see it through a different lens.
You're gonna see all the things
that you could not see in that situation.
You're gonna see God's sovereignty.
You're gonna see his hand.
You're gonna see his grace.
You're gonna see his mercy.
You're gonna see his love.
You're gonna see what could have happened.
All you know is what happened,
but you don't know what could have happened, right?
And so you don't know God's protection in those moments.
You think God abandoned you, but he didn't.
He said, I will never leave you and I will never forsake you.
And how can I say these things?
Because these things are stored up in my heart.
Jackie, how can you quote scripture just off the cuff?
Because it's stored up in my heart.
The Bible says that your word have I hidden in my heart
so that I don't what?
So I don't come off the path into unrighteousness.
So I don't follow after a broken identity
and do things that are not worthy of me.
It actually says, so I don't sin,
but that's what sin is.
You guys, sin is just us doing things
that are unworthy of us
because we believe that we're orphaned and on our own
and in our independence,
we're trying to take things into our own hands.
That's where sin comes from.
That's what sin is.
That is what sin is.
Sin is pride.
All of it is rooted in fear and pride.
Every bit of it.
Okay?
Okay.
All right.
So we're gonna go ahead
and we're going to do the good gossip.
Okay.
So here is the things that we want to ask God
to purge us from in our hearts.
Unwholesome talk.
You guys, I'll put this in a list
and we'll put it up in the groups, okay?
Unwholesome talk, which is unhealthy,
anything that doesn't bring life, you guys,
we're gonna speak life.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
Unhealthy, which means bad for the wellbeing
of your body, mind, and spirit
or somebody else's body, mind, and spirit.
All right?
That includes gossip.
You guys, stop gossiping.
And that includes,
and I know that we don't think about this,
but that includes about politics,
about politicians, about tabloids,
about politics, about politicians,
about tabloids, about celebrities.
Oh, did you hear?
Did you hear who Brad Pitt is dating?
Do you know Brad Pitt?
Because if you do, give him my number.
Because I think him and I should be friends.
Okay?
But in the meantime, if you don't know him,
then his name should not be in your mouth.
Amen?
But you're like, but Jackie, they're celebrities.
They're fair game.
No, they're not.
They're not fair game.
Not in God's book, they're not.
And if you see things about them
that you think actually might be true,
then you should pray for them.
You should pray for them
because they are in glass houses, okay?
None of us know what it would be like
to walk out of the front door of our house
and have people waiting to take pictures of us
and people invading our privacy,
constantly not being able to do anything.
You can't pick a wedgie.
You can't get food on your shirt.
You can't do nothing.
All right?
You can't pick your nose.
And all of us know that we pick our nose.
Every one of you has itched your nose inside,
inside of your nose.
Okay?
All right, you can't do any of that stuff.
These people are on display and it's wrong.
We should not worship.
We should not idolize other human beings.
And we have to stop.
talking about them.
You guys, if you've been talking smack about Kamala
or Donald, stop it.
First of all, who would want that job?
No one in their right mind,
unless they were called to do it.
And so let's just pray that the person that's called
to do it for whatever reason,
because God sets them up and he takes them down
all for his own reasons.
It's not always a good reason in our minds
and in our hearts,
but people get the leaders that they deserve.
And those are the consequences
of unrighteousness or righteousness.
And the bottom line is, is we will go and we will vote
and we will do our democratic service.
But in the meantime, stop talking bad about people.
You don't know those people.
Stop gossiping about them.
Stop doing it.
Stop talking about people slept their way to the top.
Did you sleep with them?
Were you there?
Stop talking about Diddy.
Stop talking about that stuff.
You guys, yes, you were bombarded with it.
24 seven news cycle, pray for people, speak life to people.
We want to see the world turned upside down
for the kingdom of God.
We cannot live like the inhabitants of this world.
We are pilgrims here.
Just try it.
You're like, well, yeah, you know,
sometimes I gossip about them, you know,
but what can it, what can it hurt?
What can it hurt?
They're never gonna hear about it.
They don't know.
You guys, your words carry power.
Would you like to do an experiment with me?
What would happen if you refrain from evil speaking
and judgment and scorning and scoffing,
which means expressing contempt and mocking
all that person's stupid.
Elon Musk, he's a weirdo.
What would happen if you stopped doing that?
Naysaying, which is criticizing and being cynical.
Guys, the Bible says not to sit in the seat
with the scorners and the scoffers and the naysayers.
What if you stopped with bitter words,
vitriol coming out of your mouth, out of your heart,
and you can't stop that.
You guys, we gotta heal that.
You can't stop it.
Cruel, vicious, bitter words
about your former husband or wife,
your kids that won't talk to you.
You're so angry that they won't talk to you
that now, you know, you're picking on their flaws
and on their weaknesses.
You're talking about them to your friends.
Well, you know, she's having an affair on her husband,
you know, talking about your own kid.
You guys, I think that I'm prophesying right now.
So someone that hit home with you,
God is asking you to repent and turn away from that.
Just because you're angry, just because you're hurt,
does not give you the right to tear down.
In fact, as that parent of that child,
you should want good things for them,
regardless of whether or not they ever say anything nice
to you or see you ever again.
You birthed that baby.
You fathered that child.
Speak life to them.
Stop speaking out of the poisoned waters of your heart.
Guys, I talk about in the heart work
that the well of your heart cannot be bitter
and good at the same time.
God said, you cannot praise me and hate your brother.
That's kind of the equivalent of,
do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Is that the mouth you kiss your mother with, right?
You cannot praise God and curse other people.
You can't do it.
He's saying you can't do it.
You can't.
Not you shouldn't.
He's saying you can't.
And what does that tell me?
That tells me that it's not praise
if it's coming from a place that is full of bitter water.
You might call it that, but God's calling it something else.
He's calling it lip service of some sort, right?
Because can someone tell me real quickly in the chat,
we look on the outside, but God looks on the what?
The heart.
So he doesn't just see what we do.
He sees why we do it.
And you cannot love God and hate your brother.
You cannot bless God and curse people.
Proverbs 18, four says,
the words of your mouth are deep waters.
Does anyone look down into a well?
You can't see the bottom of it.
We have a well here and I forget how many feet deep it is,
but it's like hundreds of feet deep.
And that's what this is talking about.
It's talking about that when water's deep,
like out in the ocean, if you're in a shallow ocean,
if you're right by the shore where it's shallow,
you can see the rocks and the fish, you can see things.
But if you get out into the deep,
you can't see what's down in there.
There's a lot of stuff hidden down in there.
And that's why I don't like the deep ocean.
The deep ocean is scary to me
because I don't know what's in there, okay?
And I saw Jaws when I was a kid.
You see how media and music has messed me up?
I'm talking about it right now.
So the deep well, the murky waters,
you cannot see what's hiding underneath there.
And that's about heartwork.
Proverbs is talking about heartwork.
The words of the mouth are deep waters.
No one knows what's deep down.
on in there, okay, except for God,
because deep calls to deep.
Come on, Holy Spirit.
But the fountain, this scripture goes on,
but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.
What is that?
That's the mighty river of the Holy Spirit.
That's fresh water.
That's fresh water, y'all.
And doesn't the Bible say
that out of your belly shall flow fresh water?
Out of your spirit, out of your heart,
when it's in alignment with heaven,
you're going to be giving fresh water to people
that are in need of a drink.
The deep waters of your heart
can turn to the fountain of wisdom in a rushing stream.
God can uncover what's in the deep
because deep calls to deep.
And if there's things down deep inside there
that need healed, tonight I want you to ask him.
Reveal and heal the things that are deep inside
that are polluting my well, my water,
and making it bitter and not sweet.
Proverbs 29, 11 says,
a fool uttereth all that's in his mind,
but a wise person exercises control
and restrains themselves.
Some of you have pride yourself on speaking your mind.
Well, you know what?
I just say it like it is.
I just call it like I see it.
I just speak my mind.
I want you to put your hand up right now if that's you.
And please be honest.
Come on, you guys.
James 5, 16, confess and be healed.
You take great pride in the fact
that you call it like you see it.
You speak your mind, you say what you think.
But this scripture right here is saying,
that a fool is the one that says everything that they think.
I'm not calling you a fool,
but the book of wisdom is saying that it's foolish
to utter all that is in your mind.
It says, if you want to be wise,
you need to exercise control and restraint
when it comes to what you say.
What you say, okay?
All right.
And then last but not least of the scriptures, you guys,
Proverbs 4, 23, and this is in your heart work curriculum.
Keep your heart diligently because out of the quality
or the state of your heart
comes the quality or state of your life.
And so if you don't like what your life is looking like,
you can trace it back to areas of your heart
that are hurting, that are polluted,
that are poisoned.
Amen, amen.
So you guys ready?
We're ready to send our words out the way
that we want things to go.
You guys, this is not a one and done thing.
Remember, this is your past session for October,
but this is the beginning.
And you guys, today is 1010, okay?
Today is 1010, John 1010.
The thief comes to kill and to steal and destroy,
but Jesus talking, I have come that you might have life
and that you might have it overflowing,
that you might have it abundantly.
Who wants abundant life?
Abundant life, according to Proverbs 4, 23,
starts with an abundant heart.
If you want the quality of your life
to be overflow of goodness,
then that has to start with the things
that you're meditating on in your heart,
the storehouse of your heart, the well of your heart.
Proverbs 6, 2, I know I said it's the last scripture,
but I wrote this one down too.
Proverbs 6, 2 says that we are trapped and snared
by the words of our mouth.
If you feel stuck, you're not stuck on the outside,
you're stuck on the inside.
And whatever we believe, we become and we speak
and we attract, amen?
All right, so faith over feeling, truth over fact,
problems are invitations to prophesy.
I remember what King David does in Psalm 27.
We know that all kinds of crazy has broke out.
We know he has every reason to be really concerned
and to be scared and speaking fear,
but instead of speaking fear, he is speaking,
the Lord is my light and my salvation.
Who shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life.
Who should I be afraid of?
When the wicked advance against me to devour me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who are gonna stumble and fall.
If an army besieges me, my heart will not fear.
If war breaks out against me,
even then I will be confident
that the one thing that I asked from the Lord,
this only do I seek,
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
gaze upon the beauty of the Lord,
seek him in his temple.
In the day of trouble, he will keep me safe in his dwelling.
He will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
My head will be exalted above my enemies
who surround me.
And in his sacred tent,
I will sacrifice with shouts of joy.
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
Hear my voice when I call, Lord,
be merciful for me and answer me.
Or it says, seek his face, and your face, Lord, I seek.
Do not hide your face from me.
His heart is saying, hey, seek the Lord, seek his face.
And your face, Lord, I will seek.
Do not hide your face from me.
Do not turn me away in anger.
Do not reject me or forsake me, God, my savior.
Even if my mother and father forsake me,
you will receive me.
Teach me your way, Lord.
Lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses have risen up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
Remain confident of this.
I will receive the goodness of the Lord.
I will see it in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord.
Remember, that's expectantly prepare.
Be strong and take heart and expectantly prepare.
To do what?
To see the goodness of the Lord.
And yes, Victoria, he said,
even if my father and mother forsake me.
His mother's not mentioned,
but his father didn't even call him in
when it was time for the prophet to anoint a king.
His father thought that little of him
that he did not call him in.
And there's a lot of talk about the parentage of David
and who was his real father and all the things.
And so the bottom line is that that's in there for a reason
about the forsaking of his mother and father.
All right, you guys ready to activate?
Here's your assignment.
Send your words out the way that you want this year to go.
And we're going to do that
by playing a little bit of a glad game,
a little bit about good gossip.
The assignment is for you to make up a story about yourself
that talks about what you would like to see
manifested in your life.
And I'm going to put you in groups,
just three to a group.
And I want you to really quickly, you guys,
I don't want you to prophesy about yourself
for five minutes.
I want you to really quickly just brag on yourself,
pretend that you're just sitting around with friends
and you're talking about yourself almost in third person.
I see some of you trying to leave
because you're scared now
and you don't want to participate in the activation.
Do not leave 158, stay.
Stay here, okay?
Because you're speaking life and you're speaking it out
and you're speaking in front of witnesses
that can come into agreement with this
and say that, yes, it's true.
And so whatever God's putting on your heart,
whatever area, because you can do this at home,
you can do this all year.
You're going to speak life.
You're going to fill up the storehouse of your heart
so that no matter what's going on,
you're continuing to speak what God is speaking.
You're continuing to manifest good things.
The Bible says that your tree will be by the water brook.
Its roots will go down deep into the water
and you can bear fruit in any and every season.
I believe that that's a typology
of this kind of manifestation that we're talking about.
Okay?
And so I'm going to put you in these groups very quickly.
We're only going to give two minutes to each person.
So in the next six minutes,
we're going to let you go on your way,
but I want you to activate this.
And so the assignment again,
is to gossip about yourself in third person.
All right?
So Mel would say, you know, Mel, she reloaded.
Did you hear about Mel?
Started out with that.
Did you hear about?
Like gossip.
Did you hear about Mel?
Yeah, she met her spirit mate and he is woo.
He is fine.
And you know, and then you can just start
talking about whatever.
They moved and you can talk about where you want to move to.
You know, you can manifest that.
You're like, Jackie, you know, this is a new age.
We can't just manifest whatever we say.
The Bible says, send your words out.
This is a scripture, the way that you want them to go.
All right.
It says, call those things that are not as what?
As though they are already done.
Okay.
So I'm just talking about what the Bible is talking about.
Okay.
If you don't like it,
then you can take it up with the Bible.
All right.
So I'm going to put you in these groups really quickly.
I'm going to take off my glasses so I can see up close.
And groups.
And let me move this over here so I can see it.
Oh no, I can't see that.
All right.
Breakout rooms.
Got it.
Look at me.
Okay.
Pulling it over.
All right.
132.
You guys look at you.
No, no, not at all.
You got the good stuff and you ran.
You didn't want to participate in the activation.
I know we should have done it 15 minutes ago,
but we had to make it clear.
Okay.
Let's see.
Assign manually.
Hey, we'll shoot.
Bethany, see if you can make it.
It's not telling me how many people are in a room.
See if you can make the breakout rooms.
Two to three.
How many you want in there?
Yeah, just two to three.
Well, do three to four because then it will default to three.
Okay.
Because I don't want there to end up just one person in there.
Oh, 126, hurry, it's dwindling.
Is it letting you do it?
Yep, it's there, it should be there.
Everyone can click to join their rooms.
Sweet.
All right, guys, let's do it.
If there are some people here that aren't in a group for some reason, you can go ahead
and just, you can do the activation right here with us if you want to.
I can't tell if you're here or if it's just saying that you're here and you're not here.
Some of those are people that just haven't joined their breakout.
I don't know if their internet's delayed or if they're just not able to, if they're driving
or something.
Yeah, they also might just be working.
I know Michelle is working.
She said she was.
Okay, cool.
All right, so as soon as they get back from that, we're just going to go ahead and wrap
up because we're already an hour and 45 minutes in.
Okay, sounds good.
You can do yours if you want.
You mean as in my good gossip?
Yeah.
I don't even know what I would want to do it on tonight.
I guess what came to mind, I didn't feel convicted or anything when you were prophesying
really over Gail about her kids, but it really got me thinking about my girls and just how
much they've been struggling.
I kind of envisioned my good gossip would be that both of my spiritual daughters are,
that I believe that God is going to cause them to thrive and flourish, that they will
have jobs and careers that they are successful in, that they will be fully functioning and
healed and that they won't live a life that patterns after their parents.
So I would have to reframe that and make it way more exciting, like how we used to do,
but that's what came to mind for me.
They would have joy on their hearts and their faces, um, that they wouldn't be
downcast anymore that they would marry men that have all the fruits of the
spirit, I guess I'm just keeping going as it's coming up in my spirit, but
that's, what's coming to mind for me.
Cause that's what I've been burdened with the most lately.
It's great.
Problems are invitations to prophesy.
Yeah, it was good.
That was a good reminder for sure.
Yes, it is.
It's a great reminder for all of us.
And, um, I feel like there's a call to a, a, a different level of set apartness.
And I know that a lot of people think that's religious and legalistic.
And a lot of people balk at that because, you know, of all the sloppy
agape kind of grace that's out there.
And I'm a grace girl myself, but I do feel like that God is asking us to come
apart from things that are actually causing us to be spiritual, stagnant.
Spiritually stagnant.
I don't think it's religious.
I think it's, there is wisdom.
And I think it partners with the word.
You also said about just that you believe God's calling us
into a season of intercession.
I mean, I absolutely saw that myself the last couple of days,
more than I have in a long time.
So I, that resonates for me, even what you're saying, the set of
partners and just being careful what we're listening to and watching and.
All right.
Same as those rooms, just so you know, they're going to be coming
back here on like 60 seconds or so.
Okay.
You think they're done?
Yeah.
Some of them had four, but hopefully, hopefully enough of them did it.
So yeah.
It was fun.
Was that fun?
Good.
I'm so glad.
Okay.
You guys, well, this is something that it's not a one and done.
It's not just for tonight.
It's about this entire year.
Um, God is really, um, really calling us to come up to a higher level.
There's only about 54 of us left on the call right now, 56.
Um, or actually maybe people are still coming in.
Are they still coming in?
Yeah, there's about 20 seconds left probably.
Okay.
Just hold on a sec.
Hold on a sec.
As people are coming in, we still have over a hundred people left,
even an hour and 45 minutes in guys.
I'm sorry.
Tonight was long.
Sorry.
Not sorry.
Because the bottom line is, is that this is going to be very.
Life-changing if we apply it.
And so I want you to check in, check in, in your groups, you know,
encourage each other, provoke one another to really send our words out
the way that we want things to go, not just for ourselves, but for others.
As God is, God impresses us to do it, include and ask God to search the
deep waters of our heart, deep.
Searching deep calling to deep, seeing if there's anything in there that
needs to be healed, revealed and healed.
And then obviously, um, us coming into alignment as he heals us with the
storehouse of goodness that is in our hearts of his, and I wrote it down
here and we'll end with this.
Um, Hey Google, what time is speaking his blessings, his plans and
purposes of your life, gratitude, speaking about his faithfulness,
speaking from faith and speaking from grace, right?
Speaking life.
All right.
Father God, we thank you for what we heard tonight.
Help us to do it.
If there's anything that's polluting us, there's anything that's defiling us
that we are taking in because then it's then coming out of us, whether it's
media, whether it's, um, any friendships that's just coming into my spirit right
now, uh, friendships with negative people that when we come away from them, we find
ourselves speaking negativity and speaking death, speaking criticism and judgment,
even racism and sexism, uh, nationalism, politicism, father, we ask God that you
would give us the courage to cut those friendships off, Lord, and you will
replace those spots in our lives with people who are going to speak life over
us to us, and that we are going to be able to do that as well, Lord, we thank
you, God, that anything and everything that's keeping us from manifesting
suddenly, uh, of your plans and purposes for our lives that you would reveal and
heal, show us what it is.
Help us God come into alignment with heaven in Jesus name.
Amen.
All right.
Appreciate all of you.
This is available to replay.
Try to put some of these notes up for you guys too.
I know you like that.
I'll see you soon.
Bye.
