WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Supernatural Saturday. 2 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:07.880 I know we have a lot of new people joining us in our movement. 3 00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:10.240 And so if you're new here, welcome. 4 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.320 This is a very important session of the week. 5 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.800 And so if you don't ever get to hear it live, please listen to it in replay. 6 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.220 The replay will be up within 24 to 48 hours in your replay section of whatever group that 7 00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:30.620 you're in, because this is the time where we look to heaven for current prophetic reality. 8 00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:36.420 We have a reality that's screaming at us in our face every day that is not accurate. 9 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:41.980 Each and every one of us have a different reality that is trying to have precedent in 10 00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:42.980 our lives. 11 00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:50.180 OK, a different set of circumstances, a different set of facts that might be true for you. 12 00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:53.700 But I want to let you know that truth always trumps fact. 13 00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.660 Truth always overcomes fact. 14 00:00:55.660 --> 00:01:03.540 And so it's important for us to understand and to know that even though these things 15 00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:09.740 seem very real to us, what is most real is whatever heaven is saying and whatever heaven 16 00:01:09.740 --> 00:01:10.740 is doing. 17 00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:20.300 And it gets easier as you transform your mind with that truth to come into agreement with 18 00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:26.660 the unseen realm, with God, with his plan, with his purposes than what's right in front 19 00:01:26.660 --> 00:01:27.660 of you. 20 00:01:27.660 --> 00:01:28.660 It gets easier. 21 00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:33.620 So if you're like, wow, that's really hard because this stuff really is pressing on me. 22 00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:35.140 I get it. 23 00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:36.900 I get it. 24 00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:38.220 I haven't just been there. 25 00:01:38.220 --> 00:01:39.220 I am there. 26 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:41.460 We all live in that. 27 00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:46.740 And that's why the Bible says that if we continue in his word, Jesus speaking, we will know 28 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:50.300 the truth and the truth will make us free. 29 00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:51.300 Free from what? 30 00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:58.020 Free from the burden of this reality that is trying to tell you an opposite story. 31 00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:00.740 OK, but we have to continue in his word. 32 00:02:00.740 --> 00:02:04.020 It gives us an admonition of what we have to do. 33 00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:06.780 It admonishes us to do something. 34 00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:08.180 And that's what we do here on Saturday. 35 00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:09.340 We continue in his word. 36 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:12.100 What is God saying? 37 00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:15.140 What did Jesus say while he was walking the earth? 38 00:02:15.140 --> 00:02:17.340 What is heaven doing right now in our lives? 39 00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:19.500 And so, Father God, we look to you right now. 40 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:21.820 We thank you for this time to come together. 41 00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:24.700 We thank you that your truth is greater than our fact. 42 00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:30.500 We thank you that you're always working in our lives, even when we can't see it. 43 00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:35.840 We don't have to see it because your word tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. 44 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.080 And so, Lord, I ask that you would increase our faith today. 45 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.640 Your word says that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. 46 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:47.320 So help me to speak your word today. 47 00:02:47.320 --> 00:02:52.200 Speak to me and speak through me so that our faith can be increased and we can see miracles 48 00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:55.720 and breakthrough in any and every situation. 49 00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:57.360 In Jesus name, amen. 50 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:58.440 All right. 51 00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:02.040 For those of you that are in phase three women's group, you already know this, but I got a 52 00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.440 wild hair this week. 53 00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:10.320 I got a wild hair this week and I went live, very out of breath on a walk because I'm very 54 00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:11.320 out of shape. 55 00:03:11.320 --> 00:03:12.320 But you know what? 56 00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:13.320 I'm getting after it. 57 00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:15.520 And so that's a little nugget for all of you out there. 58 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.520 It doesn't matter if you're not good at it yet, whatever it is, whatever that thing is, 59 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:20.520 just get after it. 60 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.520 Right? 61 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.160 I know I'm not an Olympian and guess what? 62 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.160 I'm not trying to be one. 63 00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:29.240 Those days are long gone for me. 64 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.240 And you know what? 65 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.240 They never were. 66 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:38.400 For those of you that are just joining us, I have a cold and that's why I sound like 67 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.720 I've smoked a thousand cigarettes today. 68 00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:44.880 Funny story. 69 00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:45.880 I used to smoke. 70 00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:49.280 I know that might be hard or not hard to believe. 71 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.640 Some of you are like, yeah, I could see that Jackie. 72 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:57.920 But I used to smoke like over a pack of cigarettes a day when I was a teenager, you guys. 73 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:01.080 When I was a teenager, I was addicted to nicotine and I smoked. 74 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.920 I started smoking when I was about 17. 75 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:07.560 I quit when I was about 20, thank God. 76 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.560 But yes, my voice did not sound like this though. 77 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:11.560 All right. 78 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:12.560 So just a cold. 79 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.560 No worries. 80 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.360 I'm not back on the Nick stick. 81 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.360 Don't worry about me. 82 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.279 I'm good. 83 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.200 But if you are struggling with that, you know what? 84 00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:22.200 There's freedom for that. 85 00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:24.720 And I want to tell you something. 86 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.720 It wasn't easy. 87 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.600 It was not easy to quit smoking. 88 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.800 There's a physical addiction, but there's a very strong psychological and mental and 89 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.160 emotional addiction to that. 90 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.320 And so if that is something that you're using to ease your stress, because I do believe 91 00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:44.360 that's what people use it for, there is freedom from that. 92 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.840 There is, I promise you, and God can help you. 93 00:04:46.840 --> 00:04:49.720 One day I woke up and I was like, I don't want to do this anymore. 94 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.440 And even though I didn't know God yet, I know that was God. 95 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:58.120 It was God leading me out of the counterfeit and leading me into the authentic. 96 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.040 And so I just leaned into that. 97 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.800 I don't want to do this anymore and Holy Spirit was helping me even though I didn't know it 98 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.000 and I was able to break free from that and every day I was able to take another little 99 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.000 step forward. 100 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.520 Friends, it's about every day taking a little step forward. 101 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:20.600 There's pain in process, it is true, but it is the pain of change. 102 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.360 There's a whole different type of pain and that is the pain of staying the same and we 103 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.640 don't want that because that pain just goes on and on and on and on, but the pain of change 104 00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:29.640 will end. 105 00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:31.680 I promise you that. 106 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.560 Process is not forever and we're going to talk about process today at the end as I activate 107 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:36.560 you. 108 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.680 Guys, I'm drinking out of a cup that says grateful and I have an identical twin cup 109 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.680 to this cup. 110 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.400 It looks exactly the same blue, light blue and white and it says blessed on it and it 111 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:49.320 was a wedding present to me. 112 00:05:49.320 --> 00:05:53.240 It wasn't my wedding, it was one of my students' weddings. 113 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.340 For those of you that have been in the community long enough, you'll remember a beautiful couple 114 00:05:57.340 --> 00:05:59.900 that met here. 115 00:05:59.900 --> 00:06:06.420 I helped them get together and helped them stay together and get married and their names 116 00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:07.420 are Ralph and Diana. 117 00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:14.980 Well, they gave me these beautiful cups, these mugs as a present for their wedding and grateful 118 00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:17.060 and blessed is what they say. 119 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:24.380 I want to remind all of us, even though Supernatural Saturday today is not on this subject, I am 120 00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:30.820 going to do one this month about being thankful, being grateful, about counting your blessings. 121 00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:35.540 This is the month where a lot of people look to thankfulness, especially in America. 122 00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:36.740 This is our Thanksgiving month. 123 00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:42.020 If you're in Canada, you just had your Thanksgiving month, I believe last month and so we need 124 00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:47.860 to really press into that idea and we'll probably do next Supernatural Saturday. 125 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:51.700 A lot of people ask, hey, around the holidays, do we still have these? 126 00:06:51.700 --> 00:06:53.440 I'm still going to show up. 127 00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:57.520 If you have to watch and replay, I understand, but I'm going to show up and I'm going to 128 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:05.360 talk about showing up today because that really is what this Supernatural Saturday is about. 129 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.360 Back to my original story, I got a wild hair and the ladies in phase three, they got to 130 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:16.680 hear me on a walk out of breath trying to communicate some ideas that I'm now going 131 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:22.160 to hopefully communicate even better to all of you. 132 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.640 My podcast is coming, it's just a little public service announcement. 133 00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:30.560 My podcast, The Jackie Show, is coming out in December, just in a week or two. 134 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.840 You're going to see the first episodes of that. 135 00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.560 I was live on my Instagram. 136 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.360 If you don't follow me on Instagram, it's Jackie Dorman Official. 137 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:42.800 Go follow me there because I'm going to be releasing all kinds of fun stuff over

discuss over there, just so you know. 140 00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:52.880 You guys will be the people that are involved with that. 141 00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:58.000 If you get a little FOMO when you're over there, like, hey, you know, oh, no, don't 142 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:03.520 get FOMO because whatever I'm talking about to the public, I'm already doing with you. 143 00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:05.480 I'm already doing it with you. 144 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:06.480 Don't get any FOMO there. 145 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:14.400 You guys will always come first in this program, in my life, in my heart, you all are first. 146 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:19.720 I said to the public, hey, if there's anything you want me to talk about on this podcast, 147 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.840 DM me. 148 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:26.800 If there are memes that you want me to react to on my podcast, I'll do that. 149 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.720 If you have a situation and you want to send me a receipt of those text messages between 150 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.059 you and someone else and you want me to weigh in, I'll do that. 151 00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:40.640 If you have videos that you see out here that are directed towards singles and you want 152 00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:43.280 to ask a question about it, I'll do that. 153 00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:44.280 Send it to me. 154 00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:47.580 People started sending me stuff that very night. 155 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:52.340 One of our beautiful, amazing illustrious students in this group was watching and she 156 00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:57.660 sent me a video and she sent me a video and you guys, it's a soundbite. 157 00:08:57.660 --> 00:08:59.260 It's a hot take. 158 00:08:59.260 --> 00:09:00.260 It's a clip. 159 00:09:00.260 --> 00:09:06.620 It's a reel on Instagram on a very, very important subject and it was discouraging to her heart 160 00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:10.860 and she sent it to me because she wanted me to weigh in on it and that is why I got a 161 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:17.540 wild hair because I watched that soundbite and I was like, oh, oh, no, no, no. 162 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:23.500 But I'd like to say it's an isolated incident, but it's not. 163 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:30.500 Soundbites like this exist and they exist in big quantities, okay? 164 00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:31.500 I need some tea. 165 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:32.500 Hold on. 166 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.500 All right. 167 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:44.500 What's a wild hair? 168 00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:49.460 It's just an expression my grandma used to use when you go off on a tangent. 169 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:58.460 All the young millennials or Gen Z are like, hey, by the way, what's a wild hair? 170 00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.460 That's old folks. 171 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.480 talk, and not me, but even the generation before me. 172 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.840 It's just when you go off on a tangent, when you go off on a rant, right? 173 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.840 Okay. 174 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.880 So now that we have that cleared up. 175 00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:19.520 So the subject that this video was on was a subject that I believe is a different gospel. 176 00:10:19.520 --> 00:10:25.920 It's a subject that I believe is a theology that has been created by the church in order 177 00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:30.480 to try to spiritually bypass people's pain. 178 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.640 You're going to hear a little bit more about that in a second, but the subject was why 179 00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:40.920 being single is holy, right? 180 00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:45.960 And also within that video, it was using a scripture that I also know very, very well. 181 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.960 And that's Matthew 19. 182 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.640 And I use that scripture as well in my books, in my teachings, in my challenges, but that 183 00:10:52.640 --> 00:11:00.600 scripture was actually being not just misrepresented, but twisted to mean the exact opposite of 184 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:05.160 what it really means, the exact opposite of what it means. 185 00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:10.000 And you guys, I just have a lowly 15,000 followers, and I love every one of them on my Instagram, 186 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.360 except for the scammers that are trying to sell me something, all right? 187 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:20.080 But this account had close to 400,000 followers. 188 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.360 And so you can see that the influence is definitely out of balance right there. 189 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:32.400 And what concerns me is that this type of information is being perpetuated there. 190 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:34.360 And so, of course, we're all on the same team. 191 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.520 This is a Christian account, and I'm just like, Lord, help them. 192 00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:38.520 Let them see. 193 00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:43.920 I very respectfully made a few comments on the video because I'm not here to disrespect 194 00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:49.080 anyone, disrespect their beliefs, and maybe they just don't know, okay? 195 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:59.120 But I have to address it because God wants His sons and daughters married. 196 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:04.640 God wants His sons and daughters partnered. 197 00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:06.280 I'm going to say it again. 198 00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:08.840 God wants His sons and daughters partnered. 199 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.600 You guys, this is how this all started for me. 200 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.880 I've always loved love. 201 00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:14.520 I've always loved fixing up my friends. 202 00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:16.280 I've always loved playing the matchmaker. 203 00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:21.880 I think I'm good at it, you know, in the way that it's just like a spiritual discernment. 204 00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:24.520 Like, these people should meet, and then let's do it. 205 00:12:24.520 --> 00:12:26.440 Okay, great, wonderful. 206 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:27.880 God's the ultimate matchmaker. 207 00:12:27.880 --> 00:12:34.720 I have been His helper many times, okay? 208 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:40.720 But when I started doing this, it's because I was sitting in my office surrounded by heartwork, 209 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.480 material and curriculum. 210 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.440 My mom had just passed away. 211 00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:47.200 COVID was just about to begin. 212 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.600 The lockdown was going to happen about a month from the day that I'm telling you about right 213 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:56.080 now, and none of us knew that that was on the horizon. 214 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.240 And I was sitting there, and I was grieving my mother, and I was looking at my life and 215 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:06.120 what I had accomplished and what I wanted to accomplish as far as helping people. 216 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.240 And you guys, if I was going to tell you the main reason that I think that I'm on the earth, 217 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.080 it is to eradicate religion. 218 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.840 Religion almost cost me my life many times, right? 219 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.200 Yes, I was living in a dangerous and precarious situation as an unbeliever, and then I met 220 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:27.200 Jesus. 221 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.960 But you guys, when I met Jesus, I met Jesus. 222 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:36.600 I had an incredible, radical conversion experience that filled me full of love and full of understanding 223 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.400 about the character of God. 224 00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:43.760 It was truly an incredible miracle experience. 225 00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:48.280 But then religion found me. 226 00:13:48.280 --> 00:13:53.960 I was discipled by probably one of the most legalistic denominations in Christianity, 227 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:58.400 and they taught me all kinds of terrible things about God's character that started to give 228 00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:05.040 me panic attacks, that started to give me panic disorder, that made me afraid of God. 229 00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:10.080 Yes, I was still going to church and going through every single ritual of serving God 230 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:15.160 because, of course, I'm not going to serve someone who's that scary. 231 00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:21.800 But I lost that father connection with him that I had at my conversion. 232 00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:24.440 It's one of those things where you don't have to be taught it. 233 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.560 You just know when it's authentic. 234 00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:28.520 You just know it. 235 00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:32.960 It just comes into you and you're like, wow, and you're so full of love and you love everyone 236 00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:37.240 and anything that anyone's ever done to you, you just don't care anymore. 237 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.480 I mean, it's the most beautiful and amazing experience. 238 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.200 And if you haven't experienced it, then you might just have met religion and not Jesus. 239 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.400 And I want you to meet Jesus because he's amazing. 240 00:14:50.400 --> 00:14:51.400 He's amazing. 241 00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:55.920 So I want to spend my life helping peel back those layers for people. 242 00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:59.640 And when people haven't met anything yet, religion or Jesus, I want to make sure that 243 00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:00.000 they meet them. 244 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000 real Jesus, not the hair splitter, not the rule keeper. 245 00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:09.040 Okay, I don't want them to meet the Jesus 246 00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:10.820 that they think is angry with everyone. 247 00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:15.820 I don't want that to be what they get told. 248 00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:23.960 All right, so that applies to this as well. 249 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.960 So I'm sitting there in my little loft, 250 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.040 in my little rented house, and God says to me, 251 00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:36.240 Jackie, I want my sons and daughters married. 252 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.800 It's just what he says to me. 253 00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:41.020 He says, Jackie, I want my sons and daughters married. 254 00:15:41.020 --> 00:15:42.280 Will you help me? 255 00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:43.440 I want them to partner. 256 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.480 I need them to partner. 257 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.320 Why? 258 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.880 Because of what's coming. 259 00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:49.240 Y'all, none of us have seen what's coming yet. 260 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.160 And that's not a doomsday prediction. 261 00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:53.740 But you have been matched to live 262 00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.860 during a specific era of time. 263 00:15:55.860 --> 00:16:00.860 Your timeline of your earthly life 264 00:16:01.020 --> 00:16:04.120 has been matched with a timeline on the earth 265 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.020 that's important. 266 00:16:05.020 --> 00:16:06.820 You are important. 267 00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:09.580 And God is saying you need a partner for what's coming. 268 00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.300 Do you hear me? 269 00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:15.220 Not just coming in the world, but coming in your life. 270 00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:17.420 You need a partner. 271 00:16:17.420 --> 00:16:18.820 Two are better than one. 272 00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:20.820 You guys, look back. 273 00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:23.020 We're gonna look back today at the origin story. 274 00:16:23.020 --> 00:16:26.000 We're gonna look back at divine identity, 275 00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:29.460 original design today, 276 00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:31.740 to prove that two are better than one. 277 00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:33.300 Even when Jesus was on the earth 278 00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:36.180 and he sent out people that were clearly not married, 279 00:16:36.180 --> 00:16:38.620 but he sent out disciples to do the work of the kingdom, 280 00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:41.760 he sent them out, once again, in twos. 281 00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:46.420 So God said, I want my sons and daughters married. 282 00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:47.340 Jackie, will you help? 283 00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:49.220 And the reason why he asked me is because 284 00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:54.220 I am the daughter of God that is always calling shotgun. 285 00:16:55.980 --> 00:17:00.540 If God's up to something, especially if it's crazy, I'm in. 286 00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:03.640 I'm in, okay? 287 00:17:04.579 --> 00:17:08.940 And so he came to me and said, hey, you wanna do this? 288 00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.480 And I said, yes, I do. 289 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.319 Absolutely. 290 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.220 Do you wanna make an alliance with me? 291 00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:14.020 Yes, I wanna make an alliance with you. 292 00:17:14.020 --> 00:17:16.780 All right, what are we gonna do? 293 00:17:16.780 --> 00:17:18.819 And then he immediately downloaded to me 294 00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:22.020 all the curriculum for Married in 12 Months or Less. 295 00:17:22.020 --> 00:17:23.859 Y'all, I downloaded it. 296 00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:25.380 I downloaded it. 297 00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:27.440 You know how people always have these controversies 298 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.220 over people spiritually writing? 299 00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:33.400 Like, for instance, what's her face that wrote Harry Potter? 300 00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:37.740 Rolling, she said that she wrote it on a train. 301 00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:39.420 See how thick those books are? 302 00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:41.740 I've never read them, but they're very thick. 303 00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:43.020 They're very big books. 304 00:17:43.020 --> 00:17:46.540 And they're very intricate characters 305 00:17:46.580 --> 00:17:48.300 and associations between characters 306 00:17:48.300 --> 00:17:49.940 and storylines and plots. 307 00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:51.620 But she says that she just started writing 308 00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:54.020 and she didn't stop, right? 309 00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:58.680 That is how the Married in 12 Months or Less curriculum 310 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.160 was born for me. 311 00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:03.820 And that's not abnormal for me to write 312 00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:05.020 with the help of Holy Spirit, 313 00:18:05.020 --> 00:18:07.100 because I've done that many, many times 314 00:18:07.100 --> 00:18:09.340 since I met Jesus when I was 22 years old. 315 00:18:09.340 --> 00:18:10.180 Because I am a writer. 316 00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:11.740 It is a gift of mine. 317 00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:14.300 And that is a gift that God has used 318 00:18:14.300 --> 00:18:16.060 for all different types of things. 319 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:22.460 Narration for casting plays and short stories 320 00:18:23.080 --> 00:18:27.420 and things that back in the beginning weren't sermons 321 00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:28.980 because I was in a denomination 322 00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:31.340 that didn't allow women to speak or preach. 323 00:18:31.340 --> 00:18:33.500 But I would write out whole things 324 00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:34.620 with the help of Holy Spirit 325 00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:37.060 that would be considered sermons, 326 00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:39.900 but I would use them in creative plays 327 00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:43.180 and skits and different things in the church that I attended 328 00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:45.220 because women weren't allowed to speak. 329 00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:47.820 And so there's always a way, 330 00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:50.100 this is a little caveat for those of you that are new, 331 00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:52.700 you'll see that these Supernatural Saturdays 332 00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:56.020 are full of nuggets, okay? 333 00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:57.460 Everyone gets something. 334 00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:59.540 And so if you are making excuses 335 00:18:59.540 --> 00:19:01.780 about using the things that God has gifted you with, 336 00:19:01.780 --> 00:19:04.480 that there is no space or room for them, you're wrong. 337 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.440 You just gotta get creative sometimes. 338 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.740 Sometimes you just gotta get creative 339 00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:11.580 with what God has given you. 340 00:19:11.620 --> 00:19:14.100 So the curriculum got downloaded, why? 341 00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:15.420 Because God wanted it out there 342 00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:18.820 and He didn't want it out there a year from that time, 343 00:19:18.820 --> 00:19:20.380 He wanted it out there immediately. 344 00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:21.220 And so you guys, 345 00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:23.380 I immediately started to teach that curriculum 346 00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:26.360 to a warm audience. 347 00:19:26.360 --> 00:19:27.740 I put out a message on Facebook, 348 00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:30.560 hey, who wants to be married, who's single? 349 00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:32.420 I had been posting about singleness 350 00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:35.500 for years and years and years and years to people 351 00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:38.980 about relationships, dating advice, relationship advice. 352 00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:41.420 It was something that has always been inside of me 353 00:19:42.260 --> 00:19:44.020 and God put that all together and we launched it. 354 00:19:44.020 --> 00:19:46.380 And of course it's called Last Year Single Now. 355 00:19:48.580 --> 00:19:52.300 But back then it was M12M, Married in 12 Months 356 00:19:52.300 --> 00:19:54.500 and people began to come. 357 00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:57.340 And by the end of that year, 2020, 358 00:19:57.340 --> 00:19:59.000 we had our first weddings. 359 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.540 Y'all, we had our first weddings. 360 00:20:02.540 --> 00:20:07.600 And can I tell you, not only has it not stopped, it has accelerated to the point that last 361 00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:11.000 weekend we had three weddings and one engagement. 362 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.160 Every week we have engagement announcements. 363 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.440 Come on, you guys. 364 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.560 These are people that have been in this program for all different lengths of time because 365 00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:23.400 everyone's process is different. 366 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.400 Everyone's process is different. 367 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:28.360 And I know it's easy to sit around and look at other people's process and say, I wish 368 00:20:28.360 --> 00:20:29.680 they had their process. 369 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.920 They're already in a serious relationship and that's not fair. 370 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.840 And that's just not how it works. 371 00:20:34.840 --> 00:20:39.120 You guys all have different things to work through and you may not think you have it. 372 00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:42.560 And the people that don't think they have it are usually the people that have it. 373 00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:43.560 Okay. 374 00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:48.360 There are things that God is trying to get in order, specifically your house, which is 375 00:20:48.360 --> 00:20:55.720 your heart, because he knows what I know, and that is that marriage is hard. 376 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.080 This isn't just about getting people married. 377 00:21:02.080 --> 00:21:05.480 It's about helping them stay married too. 378 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:09.600 So that is how, if you did not know the story, the revival of marriage and family here in 379 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:12.480 this movement has begun. 380 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:16.240 But there's this other ideology, this other created theology. 381 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.680 Why do I say it's created? 382 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:26.280 Because guys, there's the uncreated realm, the third heaven. 383 00:21:26.280 --> 00:21:28.040 That's where God lives, right? 384 00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:29.040 It's not a place. 385 00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:30.040 It's not up. 386 00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:31.040 It's a dimension. 387 00:21:31.040 --> 00:21:32.040 It's a dimension. 388 00:21:32.040 --> 00:21:34.880 It's another dimension. 389 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.880 God in every... 390 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:43.680 And God, Holy Spirit, the Son, the Trinity, if that's the language that you grew up hearing, 391 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.680 that is... 392 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.680 They are uncreated, uncreated. 393 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:52.640 You never, ever, ever, ever see where they came from in the word, do you? 394 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:54.080 That's because they always were. 395 00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:57.160 And I know that that hurts your brain and I'm not asking you to think about that this 396 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.880 morning. 397 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.920 But there's the uncreated and then there's the created. 398 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.880 And the created is everything else. 399 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:15.680 The second heaven, the first heaven, that's earth. 400 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:17.440 All of this has been created by what? 401 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:18.440 By the uncreated. 402 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.160 Say it out loud. 403 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:27.760 The created has been created by the uncreated. 404 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:34.280 And you know why that's important? 405 00:22:34.280 --> 00:22:41.640 Because it's important for you to know that nothing that is created can prompt what the 406 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:46.920 uncreated has said. 407 00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:50.080 The next time you find yourself running from the devil, I want you to remind yourself of 408 00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:54.920 why the devil was created. 409 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.920 God is bigger. 410 00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:59.960 God is bigger. 411 00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.600 God is more powerful. 412 00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:05.360 You guys, this is not a war between light and darkness. 413 00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:09.520 Light always wins. 414 00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:14.200 The war only happens inside of us about what we will choose because we have the power of 415 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.200 free will and choice. 416 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:17.960 It has nothing to do with what is really stronger. 417 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:22.920 You know that, right? 418 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:31.320 The war is over the hearts and minds of humanity and who they will choose, light or dark. 419 00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:33.000 It's not between light or dark. 420 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.380 Come on, that's important. 421 00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:37.360 You need to hear that. 422 00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:40.720 You need to know that you've always been on the winning team here. 423 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.040 But people have free choice. 424 00:23:43.040 --> 00:23:47.240 They have free will and they will choose according to what they want to choose. 425 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.440 And they will choose according to the information they have. 426 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.560 And that's where we come in. 427 00:23:51.560 --> 00:23:53.240 We are the light bearers. 428 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.360 We are Matthew 5. 429 00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:57.240 We are the city that's set on a hill that cannot be hid. 430 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.840 And in this specific Supernatural Saturday, I want to talk about that as the revival of 431 00:24:02.840 --> 00:24:04.000 marriage and family. 432 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.000 You are the revivalist. 433 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:11.960 So you guys, I got on my Instagram and I publicly fought for you. 434 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:18.000 I publicly fought against this religious lie that's trying to be perpetuated to the 435 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.000 masses. 436 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.400 And I just want to let you know that that idea that it's more holy to stay single is 437 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.400 dangerous. 438 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:27.400 It's a dangerous idea. 439 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:29.160 And it's not a biblical idea. 440 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.560 And I'm going to prove that to you. 441 00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:32.840 I don't ask you to take my word for it. 442 00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:36.240 A lot of you go to churches where there's a lot of sound and there's a lot of hype, 443 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.200 but there's not a lot of biblical premise for what's being said. 444 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.560 And then when it doesn't come true, because it's not biblical, you get mad at God. 445 00:24:43.560 --> 00:24:45.960 Well, guess what? 446 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:46.960 We can't just read the word. 447 00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.040 We got to read the word. 448 00:24:50.040 --> 00:24:54.000 So this idea that it's more holy to stay single is a dangerous idea, and it's not a biblical 449 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.000 idea. 450 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:58.320 And you know what happens when people like you hear it? 451 00:24:58.320 --> 00:24:59.320 It sounds spiritual. 452 00:24:59.320 --> 00:25:00.000 And you start. 453 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:05.440 It starts to cause an environment in your heart that you'll defer hope. 454 00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:12.040 The Bible says that when we defer our hope, when we set it aside, when we postpone having 455 00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:16.280 hope about something because we're not really sure it's going to happen, that makes our 456 00:25:16.280 --> 00:25:21.720 heart sick and heart and sick hearts look for medication. 457 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:28.600 When we start getting disappointed and discouraged in our hearts because our hope has been deferred, 458 00:25:28.600 --> 00:25:32.520 it's been postponed, we're not really sure that the things we want are going to happen, 459 00:25:32.520 --> 00:25:34.840 we start to get distracted. 460 00:25:34.840 --> 00:25:35.840 It causes disruption. 461 00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:40.400 In some of us, it causes destruction. 462 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.640 And so that is the plot and plan of the enemy is to get you to align your heart with something 463 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:47.640 that's going to make it disappointed. 464 00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.000 Because I want you to raise your hand and just be honest. 465 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.400 If it was true that it was just more holy to stay single, how many of you would be discouraged 466 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.400 by that? 467 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:01.720 Let's see those hands. 468 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:14.240 I want people to know that they're not alone. 469 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:35.120 79 people have their hand up right now, 80, 84. 470 00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:37.600 Some people are afraid to raise their hand because they're afraid that they're going 471 00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:41.880 to offend God by raising their hand. 472 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:46.040 You guys are not going to offend God. 473 00:26:46.040 --> 00:26:48.680 And I'm going to prove to you right now why. 474 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.200 Because marriage is not your idea, it's his. 475 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.760 It's not your idea. 476 00:26:56.760 --> 00:27:01.600 You didn't come up with it. 477 00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:03.200 So let's go back to the divine design, you guys. 478 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.240 If you want to see divine design of the church, go to the book of Acts. 479 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.560 If you want to see what the church is supposed to look like, go to the book of Acts. 480 00:27:09.560 --> 00:27:16.400 I know we live in a different time than the people in the book of Acts, so some things 481 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:17.880 are going to look differently. 482 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.800 But you'll see camaraderie there, you'll see family there, you'll see people meeting not 483 00:27:22.800 --> 00:27:29.360 weekly but daily, having spiritual community and people around them that they're fellowshipping 484 00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:31.120 with, that they're doing life with. 485 00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:32.120 That is what the church looks like. 486 00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:34.760 So if you want to see the birth of the church, go to the book of Acts. 487 00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:38.960 If you want to see the birth of God's plan to have a family, because that's all God ever 488 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.440 wanted was a family, go to the book of Genesis. 489 00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.360 The word Genesis means the beginning, okay? 490 00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:46.160 It means the start of something. 491 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:51.880 If you want to see divine design before the curse, none of us lived before the curse, 492 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:52.880 none of us. 493 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.760 Well, we kind of did because we lived in God's imagination, we lived in his heart, but we 494 00:27:56.760 --> 00:28:00.560 didn't live on this earth before the curse. 495 00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:06.320 I had to sneeze, sorry guys. 496 00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:12.160 The book of Genesis, which was written by Moses, that's right, you're like, but Moses 497 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:13.160 didn't live then. 498 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.920 Yeah, right, because it's prophetic writing. 499 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:20.760 Remember what I talked about, prophetic writing, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you 500 00:28:20.760 --> 00:28:21.760 write? 501 00:28:21.760 --> 00:28:22.760 Yeah. 502 00:28:22.760 --> 00:28:27.840 Okay, so divine design, this is what's being challenged in these videos that are going 503 00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:29.800 out to a mass audience. 504 00:28:29.800 --> 00:28:35.960 This is what's being changed in these sermons that are being taught to try to spiritually 505 00:28:36.600 --> 00:28:38.640 bypass someone's pain process. 506 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:42.120 And we're going to talk about that just in one second, but let's go over the three things 507 00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:45.880 that I want to point out to you in your divine design. 508 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.720 Number one, God wanted a family. 509 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:51.900 We're all God's kids. 510 00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:55.160 God wanted a family, that's what he wanted, that's what this whole thing is about. 511 00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:01.840 At the end of this thing that you're having right now, this first heaven experience, this 512 00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:08.320 earthly experience that you're having, you are a third heaven citizen having a first 513 00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:09.880 heaven experience right now. 514 00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.560 It's not a fever dream, it is real. 515 00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:16.880 This dimension, this life that you're living in, it's important, it's important to eternity 516 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.320 for a lot of different reasons that I'm not going to use this Supernatural Saturday to 517 00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:26.840 discuss with you, but it does have a timestamp on it. 518 00:29:26.840 --> 00:29:28.000 It does have a timestamp. 519 00:29:28.040 --> 00:29:33.680 So when it's over with, all it will have been about is family. 520 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.680 And not just your origin family, God's family, right? 521 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.440 So that's the first thing I want you to write down, we're God's kids, that's your divine 522 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.960 design. 523 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.680 All he wanted was a family. 524 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:49.880 You see in the book of Genesis that he was very intentional and very emotionally involved 525 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.800 on day six when he created his family. 526 00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:56.400 The first family, Adam and Eve, they got his attention, they walked with him, they talked 527 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:57.440 with him. 528 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.080 He breathed his own very breath inside of them. 529 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.880 He made them with his hands, both of them fastened with the hands of God. 530 00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:10.960 Not just the words of God, like all the other creation around us, but the hands of God. 531 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:16.120 And David, if you ever go in the Psalms and you read the Davidic Psalms, David's Psalms, 532 00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:21.280 you'll see that David was a prophet. 533 00:30:21.280 --> 00:30:27.640 You will see that David was able to, in his Psalms, reach back into a time that he never 534 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:34.760 lived in and also reach forward into a time that he would never see on earth. 535 00:30:34.760 --> 00:30:41.840 You see him talking about the new covenant, about the New Testament church, about grace. 536 00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:45.920 Guys, he lived under the law. 537 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:54.360 But you see him talking about God in a way that other people didn't talk about God. 538 00:30:54.360 --> 00:30:55.360 Why is that? 539 00:30:55.840 --> 00:31:01.120 He had a prophetic nature, he was a prophetic psalmist, and he was able to download that 540 00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:02.120 information. 541 00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:08.160 And in that information, in Psalm 139, we see that when we were created, each and every 542 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:13.840 one of us, God took the same emotionally involved intention as he did with the first family. 543 00:31:13.840 --> 00:31:19.400 It says he knit you together in your mother's womb. 544 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:25.320 It says that he wrote a book about you, and in it numbered all the days of your life. 545 00:31:25.320 --> 00:31:29.080 It goes on to say in another Psalm that the hairs on your head are numbered. 546 00:31:29.080 --> 00:31:33.640 It goes on to say in another scripture that his thoughts of you are more numerous than 547 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:38.360 the stars in the heaven or the sand on the shores. 548 00:31:38.360 --> 00:31:42.040 You need to feel that right now, because that's divine design. 549 00:31:42.040 --> 00:31:45.020 You've been made in God's image. 550 00:31:45.020 --> 00:31:46.520 You are his family. 551 00:31:46.520 --> 00:31:48.920 Just like our children are made in our image when they come out. 552 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.880 Just like our children are made in our image when they come out. 553 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.840 Got to keep your phones muted, friends. 554 00:31:56.840 --> 00:32:00.840 When they come out, they're made in the image of God, because we're made in the image of 555 00:32:00.840 --> 00:32:05.000 God, but they're also made in the image of you. 556 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.560 The same applies to us. 557 00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:15.560 If you need a picture to understand it, if you need a visual, so that's the first thing 558 00:32:15.560 --> 00:32:19.400 that I want you to see and I want you to know today. 559 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.360 And then second, he made us male and female. 560 00:32:21.360 --> 00:32:24.160 I know there's a war over gender right now. 561 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.800 Those folks that are transgender, they think they're transgender, they think there's some 562 00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:31.280 other gender besides male and female. 563 00:32:31.280 --> 00:32:34.200 There's lots of different genders to choose from. 564 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.240 It's becoming an absolute smorgasbord of gender out there. 565 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:41.720 And the reason why is because of separation from themselves. 566 00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:46.080 Remember, at the curve, we weren't just separated from God, we were also separated from our 567 00:32:46.080 --> 00:32:49.200 own identity. 568 00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:53.720 And each and every one of you have been separated from your identity in some way, shape, or 569 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.720 form. 570 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.720 You're living a counterfeit right now. 571 00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.920 And that is what the heart work is all about, is for us to continually walk in to more and 572 00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:02.080 more authenticity. 573 00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:05.920 And these folks, this is what it looks like for them to be separated from their identity. 574 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.840 A lot of them say they felt like this from the time they were born, because remember, 575 00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:11.600 y'all, we're born into a curse. 576 00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:16.360 It's at the new birth experience when you accept Christ that you're newborn, that you're 577 00:33:16.360 --> 00:33:17.360 reborn. 578 00:33:17.360 --> 00:33:18.360 Okay? 579 00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:20.440 And it doesn't just stop there. 580 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:21.440 It's a process. 581 00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.920 You have to continue to walk into more and more truth, like the scripture that I started 582 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:27.720 this with, you will know the truth and it will make you free. 583 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.040 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 584 00:33:30.040 --> 00:33:32.160 Okay, that's heart work. 585 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:38.840 The mind, the soul, the heart, they're all interchangeable in the word of God. 586 00:33:38.840 --> 00:33:43.600 It's not talking about your brain mind, it's talking about your spirit mind. 587 00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:47.880 Okay, that epicenter, that master control of information. 588 00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.840 So the next time you go to judge someone who is walking around trying to present themselves 589 00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:57.440 as the opposite gender, or they just look like they're very confused in what gender 590 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:03.080 they are, I want you to remind, I want you to be reminded of this Supernatural Saturday 591 00:34:03.080 --> 00:34:07.360 and understanding that that is what separation from their identity looks like on them. 592 00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.120 It looks different on you, and neither of you are better. 593 00:34:14.600 --> 00:34:17.120 This is someone who's confused about who they are. 594 00:34:19.120 --> 00:34:23.280 Because even though what I'm talking about right now was God's original plan, it was 595 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.719 his divine design, we all know that it got thwarted by disobedience. 596 00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:32.679 So where God's kids were made in his image, all he ever wanted was a family, he made us 597 00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:41.400 male and female, and he made us male and female for the sole purpose of partnership. 598 00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:43.199 You guys, please get that in your head right now. 599 00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:50.040 Go back and read it, Genesis 2, 23 through 25, please see that it was not good for man 600 00:34:50.040 --> 00:34:54.280 to be alone, that on the sixth day when God created his family very intentionally and 601 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:58.360 very emotionally, he also saw that it was not finished, it was not perfect, it was not 602 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.040 complete for Adam to exist. 603 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.120 exist in the full image of God, I want you to get a hold of that, in the full image of 604 00:35:05.120 --> 00:35:06.120 God. 605 00:35:06.120 --> 00:35:07.120 What do I mean by that? 606 00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:13.640 What I mean by that is that he was both the masculine and feminine of God in one vessel. 607 00:35:13.640 --> 00:35:15.800 Just one of him though. 608 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.120 As the full image of God, both masculine and feminine, both of those natures in one vessel 609 00:35:20.120 --> 00:35:26.800 and God said, no, this is not the way that this should be. 610 00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.600 This is not good. 611 00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:32.200 He needs to have a helper. 612 00:35:32.200 --> 00:35:38.640 There needs to be two, not one, two. 613 00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:43.440 As we exist in community, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, our creation, our family needs 614 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:46.000 to exist in community with their own kind. 615 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:47.880 We exist with our own kind. 616 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:49.960 They need to exist in their own kind. 617 00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:59.000 This is how we are created in the image of the holy family of heaven. 618 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.480 So what did he do? 619 00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:03.080 Adam had a surgery. 620 00:36:03.080 --> 00:36:05.480 He removed the feminine from the masculine. 621 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:10.800 He removed the feminine and he took one of Adam's ribs, which is very significant, and 622 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.280 fashioned her created body out of that. 623 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:19.440 Her created body. 624 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:30.920 It signifies so much, there's so much typology in the body part that he chose to create woman. 625 00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.080 It's in a place of protection under the arm, right? 626 00:36:34.080 --> 00:36:35.080 What does that signify? 627 00:36:35.080 --> 00:36:38.960 That signifying that the masculine is going to cover the feminine. 628 00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:39.960 It's over the heart. 629 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:40.960 What's that signifying? 630 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:49.000 That the feminine is going to really embody the heart of God. 631 00:36:49.560 --> 00:36:53.920 Does that mean that the masculine is not an emotional, creative being? 632 00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.920 No. 633 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:56.160 Does it mean that men don't emote? 634 00:36:56.160 --> 00:37:00.840 No, it doesn't mean that at all. 635 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.160 Not at all. 636 00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:06.720 So I'm not going to go into more teaching because we have a lot to get through, and 637 00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:11.040 I want to get through it this morning, but I just want you to see that he created us 638 00:37:11.040 --> 00:37:16.040 very intentionally, and when he created us, he created us for each other, for him and 639 00:37:16.040 --> 00:37:24.640 for each other, for partnership, for family. 640 00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:30.560 He didn't say to Adam and Eve, okay, you're male and female now, now platonically exist 641 00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:36.680 in this garden, just be friends, okay? 642 00:37:36.680 --> 00:37:39.640 You don't need each other, you just need to like be co-laborers. 643 00:37:39.640 --> 00:37:40.640 No, y'all. 644 00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:44.600 He said, be fruitful and multiply. 645 00:37:44.600 --> 00:37:47.680 For those of you that think sex came after the curse, it didn't. 646 00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:51.320 Sex always was going to be part of the plan. 647 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:55.840 Reproduction of the family was always going to be part of the plan. 648 00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:01.320 Sex just wasn't going to be burdened by all of this debauchery, okay? 649 00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:05.880 Sex wasn't going to be burdened by all the evil that has come to represent. 650 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:11.200 Sex is holy, write it down. 651 00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:15.200 Now the version of sex that you have had in your life may not have been very holy, 652 00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:24.560 but the origin of sex, in its divine design, was created to unite and to reproduce, to 653 00:38:24.560 --> 00:38:32.680 unite us, to create intimacy, and also to create children, of course. 654 00:38:32.680 --> 00:38:38.680 All right, so we see that something happens in Genesis and we all know the curse came 655 00:38:38.680 --> 00:38:45.560 in, disobedience came in, but I really want to encourage you because in the very next 656 00:38:45.560 --> 00:38:50.760 verse Moses writes, and for this reason, what reason? 657 00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:55.080 Adam just made his big speech, bone in my bone and flesh in my flesh, right? 658 00:38:55.080 --> 00:39:03.080 Talking about, hey, this is my missing piece, I recognize her as part of myself. 659 00:39:03.080 --> 00:39:07.720 And then Moses goes on in the next verse to say, and for this reason will a man leave 660 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.080 his mother and father, and they don't have any parents, and be what? 661 00:39:12.080 --> 00:39:16.800 And be united or essentially reunited unto his wife and the two shall become one flesh 662 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:21.320 again. 663 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.200 What's happening there? 664 00:39:23.200 --> 00:39:26.320 A prophecy is taking place that there's going to be a separation, but there's going to be 665 00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.840 a reunification. 666 00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:35.160 There's going to be a separation and there's going to be a reunification. 667 00:39:35.160 --> 00:39:39.680 Man is going to go looking, Proverbs 18, 22, for his good thing and because of the 668 00:39:39.680 --> 00:39:42.840 favor of God, he's going to find it. 669 00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:44.280 And then nothing's going to separate them. 670 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:48.120 It says, let nothing separate. 671 00:39:48.120 --> 00:39:52.240 It goes on to say, let nothing separate what God has put back together. 672 00:39:52.240 --> 00:39:53.760 Let nothing separate this. 673 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.160 You guys, this is the language that we use at weddings. 674 00:39:56.160 --> 00:39:57.160 Why do I know? 675 00:39:57.160 --> 00:39:58.360 Because I do a lot of weddings. 676 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.120 This is where the language comes from. 677 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.620 And what is that saying right there? 678 00:40:02.620 --> 00:40:16.000 It's saying, let nothing created separate what the uncreated has ordained, come on. 679 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:22.500 Let nothing separate, let nothing created separate what the uncreated has ordained. 680 00:40:22.500 --> 00:40:24.320 You guys, what does that mean? 681 00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:30.240 That means nothing in this first heaven. 682 00:40:30.240 --> 00:40:35.040 In Romans, it talks about not being separated from the love of God by anything, no death, 683 00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:41.560 no height, no principalities, no powers, no rulers, same word, y'all. 684 00:40:41.560 --> 00:40:46.060 Let nothing separate what, man from woman, from their divine design to come together, 685 00:40:46.060 --> 00:40:48.980 to partner, to be joined together in intimacy. 686 00:40:48.980 --> 00:40:54.020 Let nothing separate that again, let nothing separate it. 687 00:40:54.020 --> 00:40:55.020 That includes what? 688 00:40:55.020 --> 00:40:57.820 That includes bad theology. 689 00:40:57.820 --> 00:41:02.480 That includes preaching. 690 00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.900 We have two things going on here in the world with people that have unredeemed minds. 691 00:41:07.900 --> 00:41:11.580 They're trying to keep us apart, men and women, from getting married because they say it's 692 00:41:11.580 --> 00:41:13.180 bad news. 693 00:41:13.180 --> 00:41:14.540 They say it's dangerous. 694 00:41:14.540 --> 00:41:19.700 They say that everyone's bad and feeding and you can't trust anyone and why would you ever 695 00:41:19.700 --> 00:41:22.460 want to get married and it's better to stay single. 696 00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:28.580 And then we see there's a war on supposed to be the redeemed side of the aisle too, 697 00:41:28.580 --> 00:41:30.580 the church side, and what do they do? 698 00:41:30.580 --> 00:41:35.140 And they're creating new theology on how it's holier to be single. 699 00:41:35.140 --> 00:41:36.140 You know why? 700 00:41:36.140 --> 00:41:39.340 Because they don't want to sit in the process of someone's pain with them anymore, so they 701 00:41:39.340 --> 00:41:44.540 want to slap a scripture on something and make it spiritual. 702 00:41:44.540 --> 00:41:49.660 Yes, Paul, there's a war on marriage. 703 00:41:49.660 --> 00:41:51.540 There's a war on partnership. 704 00:41:51.620 --> 00:41:53.220 There's a war on divine design. 705 00:41:53.220 --> 00:41:58.660 And you guys, I want to remind you, we're fighting on the front lines of that, this, 706 00:41:58.660 --> 00:42:02.580 not just David and I, but you guys, all of you have been called to be revivalists in 707 00:42:02.580 --> 00:42:07.460 marriage and family. 708 00:42:07.460 --> 00:42:11.460 God has chosen marriage as the typology of our relationship with Christ throughout the 709 00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:14.620 ages to come. 710 00:42:14.620 --> 00:42:17.900 It's important that people see a foreshadowing of that on earth. 711 00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:24.420 You know that, right? 712 00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:28.420 If kingdom people don't come together and they don't get married and they don't continue 713 00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:32.580 to have children that they raise up in the truth, what is this world going to look like 714 00:42:32.580 --> 00:42:35.300 in a hundred years? 715 00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:38.300 I know a lot of you are like, well, Jesus is going to get us before then, but what if 716 00:42:38.300 --> 00:42:39.300 he doesn't? 717 00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:49.140 A day is a thousand years and a thousand years as a day to the Lord. 718 00:42:49.140 --> 00:42:53.340 I'm not going to sit at the train stop with my ticket and expect the rapture train to 719 00:42:53.340 --> 00:42:54.980 come through with my life. 720 00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:57.700 That's not what I'm doing. 721 00:42:57.700 --> 00:43:04.180 I'm living my life for my children's children's children's children. 722 00:43:04.180 --> 00:43:06.740 And that is what the kingdom should be up to. 723 00:43:06.740 --> 00:43:07.740 All of us. 724 00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:13.180 So you guys don't let anything created ever come between you and what the uncreated has 725 00:43:13.180 --> 00:43:19.620 already told you in any area of your life. 726 00:43:19.620 --> 00:43:25.020 Let nothing created ever separate us from God's plan. 727 00:43:25.020 --> 00:43:29.460 So I want to, I want to encourage you to be a revivalist today. 728 00:43:29.460 --> 00:43:31.140 You're not just here to get married yourself. 729 00:43:31.140 --> 00:43:32.140 You are here for that. 730 00:43:32.140 --> 00:43:38.780 But I believe you're here to be an Isaiah 61 repairer of the breach, a restorer of paths 731 00:43:38.780 --> 00:43:39.780 to dwell in. 732 00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:49.020 I see some of you like, now it's not all fun and games, friends. 733 00:43:49.020 --> 00:43:54.260 And this lie that's being perpetuated by religion about being single as holy, you guys, this 734 00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:56.500 is as old as the hill. 735 00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:57.820 In fact, Paul wrote a letter. 736 00:43:58.820 --> 00:44:02.340 It's like, oh, y'all are getting a letter from Paul, right? 737 00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:07.020 You got to get a letter because you're not doing things the right way over here. 738 00:44:07.020 --> 00:44:08.700 He wrote about this in first Corinthians. 739 00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:16.240 And once again, this is a passage of scripture that is twisted and manipulated to mean whatever 740 00:44:16.240 --> 00:44:18.940 whoever's talking about it wants it to mean. 741 00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:21.920 But you guys, it does have a real meaning. 742 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:26.780 If you look at the Greek, if you look it up, if you look up the words and you really dig 743 00:44:26.780 --> 00:44:33.260 into the surrounding scripture and the history and what's happening with the Corinthians 744 00:44:33.260 --> 00:44:37.180 at the time, you will get the correct meaning. 745 00:44:37.180 --> 00:44:47.980 The Bible tells us to rightly divide the word of God, to rightly divide it. 746 00:44:47.980 --> 00:44:54.420 And in this epistle, this letter that Paul is writing, he is writing to a church plant 747 00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:59.860 that he has been spiritually and emotionally and physically involved with that is struggling. 748 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.400 because they're new converts, y'all. 749 00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:02.800 And you remember when you were a new convert, 750 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.920 you struggled with all kinds of stuff. 751 00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:06.000 And they're struggling. 752 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:07.520 And you know how they're struggling? 753 00:45:07.520 --> 00:45:09.920 They're struggling because now that some of them 754 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:12.120 have converted and have accepted Christ 755 00:45:12.120 --> 00:45:13.520 and they're Christ followers, 756 00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:16.440 they are no longer wanting to be married to their spouses 757 00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.540 that are unbelievers and they're not wanting to have sex. 758 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:23.340 And you guys, it makes sense. 759 00:45:24.680 --> 00:45:26.800 Because just like what we live in now, 760 00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:28.640 sex was not very holy. 761 00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:31.780 We're talking about pagan people. 762 00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:35.820 There was all kinds of sexual worship to gods 763 00:45:35.820 --> 00:45:39.080 and even human sacrifices in some of these cultures 764 00:45:39.080 --> 00:45:44.000 that involved sex in temples. 765 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.920 So like spiritual, but not. 766 00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:49.840 And so all kinds of crazy stuff 767 00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:54.420 that people put together with the idea of sex. 768 00:45:54.420 --> 00:45:58.140 And so it made sense to them in order to follow Christ, 769 00:45:59.020 --> 00:46:01.500 they were going to model after the Christ followers 770 00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:03.740 that they were meeting, which one of them was Paul. 771 00:46:03.740 --> 00:46:04.860 And they were gonna be single 772 00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:07.660 and they were gonna be celibate because that's holier. 773 00:46:10.080 --> 00:46:11.900 And I'm just gonna tell you something right now, friends. 774 00:46:11.900 --> 00:46:14.660 Being celibate, okay, for those of you 775 00:46:14.660 --> 00:46:16.820 that still have your V cards, your virgins, 776 00:46:16.820 --> 00:46:17.980 I want to applaud you. 777 00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:20.540 That's very difficult in this generation 778 00:46:20.540 --> 00:46:21.700 that we're living in. 779 00:46:21.700 --> 00:46:24.900 And I think that definitely should be celebrated 780 00:46:24.900 --> 00:46:26.940 that you have been able to abstain 781 00:46:26.940 --> 00:46:29.580 and you have been able to really trust the Lord 782 00:46:29.580 --> 00:46:32.700 and lean into his power in this area of your life. 783 00:46:32.700 --> 00:46:33.940 But I just wanna let you guys know 784 00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:38.200 that there aren't any trophies, okay, 785 00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:43.200 for burning with lust and thinking it's holy. 786 00:46:46.660 --> 00:46:47.500 All right? 787 00:46:48.500 --> 00:46:51.900 God's not asking you to white knuckle your way 788 00:46:51.900 --> 00:46:55.580 through singleness, because Paul says right 789 00:46:55.580 --> 00:46:58.980 in the scripture, it would be easier for you guys. 790 00:46:58.980 --> 00:47:00.460 I see where you're getting this from people. 791 00:47:00.460 --> 00:47:02.180 I understand, yes, it would be easier for you 792 00:47:02.180 --> 00:47:04.380 to stay single for a lot of reasons. 793 00:47:04.380 --> 00:47:06.220 And I wish that you had the gift. 794 00:47:06.220 --> 00:47:09.340 Guys, he uses the word charisma. 795 00:47:09.340 --> 00:47:10.900 It is the same word that would be used 796 00:47:10.900 --> 00:47:13.220 for you speaking in tongues or prophesying. 797 00:47:13.220 --> 00:47:14.740 You guys, it's a spiritual endowment. 798 00:47:14.740 --> 00:47:16.660 It's an empowerment from heaven. 799 00:47:16.660 --> 00:47:20.740 Paul is saying for him to be able to live a celibate life. 800 00:47:20.740 --> 00:47:23.140 And why does it have to be spiritually empowered? 801 00:47:23.140 --> 00:47:25.280 Because it's not divine design. 802 00:47:30.980 --> 00:47:33.740 He had to have power from heaven 803 00:47:33.740 --> 00:47:37.260 to keep his sex drive in control 804 00:47:37.260 --> 00:47:41.100 and live a life married to Jesus. 805 00:47:41.100 --> 00:47:42.460 God gave him that gift. 806 00:47:42.460 --> 00:47:44.300 And he's saying, hey, I wish you had this gift too, 807 00:47:44.300 --> 00:47:45.700 because it'd be easier for you. 808 00:47:45.700 --> 00:47:46.980 Why did he say easier? 809 00:47:47.860 --> 00:47:48.700 Because you guys, they were living 810 00:47:48.700 --> 00:47:51.180 during a different time than us, first of all. 811 00:47:51.180 --> 00:47:53.500 We have a different kind of hard than they do. 812 00:47:53.500 --> 00:47:55.580 Their hard was they were persecuted. 813 00:47:56.580 --> 00:47:58.260 Hey, this is a persecuted church. 814 00:47:58.260 --> 00:48:01.780 People were being put to death for being Christ followers. 815 00:48:02.660 --> 00:48:05.320 Arrested, you see Paul's life. 816 00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.260 His maturity plan was not marriage and family. 817 00:48:07.260 --> 00:48:09.100 It was shipwrecks and snake bites 818 00:48:09.100 --> 00:48:10.820 and beatings and imprisonments. 819 00:48:10.820 --> 00:48:13.180 I'm gonna choose marriage, y'all. 820 00:48:13.180 --> 00:48:16.020 That sounds a little easier in our day and time. 821 00:48:16.020 --> 00:48:18.500 It's not easy, but it's worth it. 822 00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:19.940 Remember, I always say that. 823 00:48:23.660 --> 00:48:25.740 You cannot be single in your own strength. 824 00:48:25.740 --> 00:48:27.740 Yes, God gives us grace. 825 00:48:27.740 --> 00:48:30.140 That word charisma is a word of grace. 826 00:48:30.140 --> 00:48:32.580 God gives us a spiritual grace and empowerment 827 00:48:32.580 --> 00:48:36.620 to be single during the timeframe that we are single. 828 00:48:36.620 --> 00:48:39.180 You wanna know when your grace has run out? 829 00:48:39.180 --> 00:48:41.100 When you're having lustful thoughts? 830 00:48:41.100 --> 00:48:42.780 When you're wondering what it would be like 831 00:48:43.260 --> 00:48:47.140 to be with someone and be in bed with them 832 00:48:47.140 --> 00:48:49.940 and have a lover and raise a family? 833 00:48:49.940 --> 00:48:52.140 And none of those things are bad things 834 00:48:52.140 --> 00:48:53.500 because we have made them tawdry. 835 00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:54.620 We've made them bad. 836 00:48:54.620 --> 00:48:56.180 If you start imagining that, 837 00:48:56.180 --> 00:48:58.940 if that is what your heart is yearning and burning for, 838 00:48:58.940 --> 00:49:02.100 it is a sure sign that your grace season to be single 839 00:49:02.100 --> 00:49:03.460 is coming to an end. 840 00:49:07.620 --> 00:49:08.740 I know it's hard for you to believe 841 00:49:08.740 --> 00:49:09.720 that there are people out there 842 00:49:09.720 --> 00:49:11.420 that do not have those issues. 843 00:49:11.420 --> 00:49:14.100 They do not desire those things. 844 00:49:14.100 --> 00:49:16.900 And it's because they have the charisma 845 00:49:18.460 --> 00:49:19.340 to live a single life, 846 00:49:19.340 --> 00:49:21.900 but it doesn't make them any more holy than you. 847 00:49:21.900 --> 00:49:23.140 They're not holier. 848 00:49:24.060 --> 00:49:27.340 You guys, sex is not bad. 849 00:49:29.380 --> 00:49:30.220 It's holy. 850 00:49:32.780 --> 00:49:34.700 Just the way that a lot of people do it 851 00:49:34.700 --> 00:49:37.980 is what makes it have the other reputation. 852 00:49:37.980 --> 00:49:39.260 They do it in brokenness. 853 00:49:39.260 --> 00:49:41.580 They do it for all the wrong reasons. 854 00:49:41.580 --> 00:49:42.660 It's not about intimacy. 855 00:49:42.660 --> 00:49:43.580 It's not about connection. 856 00:49:43.580 --> 00:49:44.980 It's about disconnection, 857 00:49:44.980 --> 00:49:46.300 is what will eventually happen 858 00:49:46.300 --> 00:49:49.520 with that type of sexual activity. 859 00:49:51.140 --> 00:49:54.180 So I sent out a PSA to all the married folks 860 00:49:54.180 --> 00:49:56.140 on my Instagram. 861 00:49:56.140 --> 00:49:58.580 And I said to them, I said, 862 00:49:58.580 --> 00:49:59.540 do not. 863 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.320 pray for people that are single, that come to you. 864 00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:06.600 Do not pray for them if you do not have the faith 865 00:50:06.600 --> 00:50:07.720 for them to be married. 866 00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:10.360 And if you were on Faith Friday yesterday, 867 00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:12.400 you'd know that my husband covered this. 868 00:50:14.200 --> 00:50:17.760 Because not all of us have the faith for the same things. 869 00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:19.840 Some of us have had some really bad experiences 870 00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:21.880 in certain areas of our lives, whether it's finances, 871 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.000 whether it's health, whether it's the death of a child 872 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.360 or a parent or something that we have had to walk through 873 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.520 that has caused us to either have faith 874 00:50:31.520 --> 00:50:34.400 for someone else's deliverance, someone else's healing, 875 00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:37.000 someone else's breakthrough, or not to have faith 876 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.840 because we're still in process of figuring out 877 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:41.880 what happened there and we're still very discouraged 878 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.120 by what happened, it didn't turn out the way we wanted 879 00:50:44.120 --> 00:50:47.140 and our faith is low in that area, that's fine. 880 00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:51.840 Or we believe something theologically that would cause us 881 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:54.440 to not be able to partner and have faith 882 00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.560 for something someone's asking for because we believe, 883 00:50:57.560 --> 00:51:00.040 because we've been taught in scripture 884 00:51:00.040 --> 00:51:01.560 that they shouldn't be asking for that 885 00:51:01.560 --> 00:51:03.000 and it's wrong to ask for that. 886 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:05.560 And so instead of saying to them when they say, 887 00:51:05.560 --> 00:51:09.480 oh, will you pray for me to find my spouse or to be married? 888 00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:11.480 Instead of saying, oh, I don't think you're allowed 889 00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:13.760 to ask for that, they say things like, 890 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.000 they start praying stuff over you for you to be content 891 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:20.640 in your singleness and for you to accept God's will 892 00:51:20.640 --> 00:51:21.780 and plan for your life. 893 00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:25.400 You guys, that is poppycock. 894 00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:29.560 Okay, that's not scriptural stuff. 895 00:51:29.560 --> 00:51:31.520 But you have to see that it's the person 896 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:34.640 that does not have faith for that 897 00:51:34.640 --> 00:51:37.140 because they either have been disappointed by that, 898 00:51:37.140 --> 00:51:38.680 maybe they're unhappily married 899 00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:42.120 and or they had to wait for 50 years 900 00:51:42.120 --> 00:51:44.480 and so they think you have to wait for 50 years too 901 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.760 because they had to, so why don't you have to? 902 00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:49.880 And or they just believe theologically 903 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:52.020 that that's not something that you should be asking for, 904 00:51:52.020 --> 00:51:53.920 that you just need to love Jesus more. 905 00:51:56.240 --> 00:52:01.000 Can I tell you that unless you have that spiritual charisma 906 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:03.600 to be single, that you are not gonna love God more 907 00:52:03.600 --> 00:52:05.120 being single than being married 908 00:52:05.120 --> 00:52:08.320 because being married causes you to see, 909 00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:11.680 without that gift, that would help you 910 00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:13.120 see God's character more. 911 00:52:13.120 --> 00:52:15.280 Being married will actually teach you more 912 00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:16.420 about the love of God. 913 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.320 Being married in a biblical kingdom marriage 914 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:24.820 will actually draw you closer to God. 915 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:29.800 It will enlarge your capacity to love. 916 00:52:31.520 --> 00:52:35.600 It is a maturity plan, it is. 917 00:52:35.600 --> 00:52:37.800 So you guys, please be careful of who you're asking 918 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.200 to pray over your dreams and not just marriage. 919 00:52:40.200 --> 00:52:44.560 Make sure that that person has capacity 920 00:52:44.560 --> 00:52:47.800 and has the faith to add to your faith to agree with you. 921 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:48.840 In fact, you can just ask them, 922 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:50.000 you can like them a whole lot. 923 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:51.840 They can be a good friend of yours. 924 00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:53.720 They can be a prayer partner for other reasons 925 00:52:53.720 --> 00:52:55.000 but you need to ask them, say, 926 00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:58.400 hey, I really want this type of breakthrough. 927 00:52:58.400 --> 00:52:59.840 Do you have faith for that? 928 00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:02.400 Do you believe I can have that? 929 00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:04.880 Do you have faith for that? 930 00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:06.640 Ask them, do you have faith for it? 931 00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:10.360 Do you? 932 00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:11.720 And if they say, oh yeah, I believe, 933 00:53:11.720 --> 00:53:13.680 oh, I believe that God can do that for you, 934 00:53:13.680 --> 00:53:15.240 then let them pray with you. 935 00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:22.280 And if they're like, yeah, no, I really don't. 936 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.360 I don't really believe that you should be asking for that 937 00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:26.280 or I don't believe that you should want that. 938 00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:28.320 I believe that you should just, you know, 939 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:30.600 go back in that proverbial waiting room. 940 00:53:32.200 --> 00:53:36.480 God wants it for you, then, you know, he'll do it. 941 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.560 You guys, stay away from language like that. 942 00:53:40.560 --> 00:53:42.680 That is called spiritual bypassing. 943 00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:45.280 That is people making up theology 944 00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:48.160 to explain why people are in pain. 945 00:53:48.160 --> 00:53:49.640 And so here's where I wanted to get to 946 00:53:49.640 --> 00:53:50.920 and here's the activation. 947 00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.920 You guys, each and every one of you, including myself, 948 00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:59.920 we are called to be in process with others. 949 00:53:59.960 --> 00:54:04.760 We are caused to sit in that pain of process with others. 950 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:05.880 And there is a payoff. 951 00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:08.120 It's hard. 952 00:54:08.120 --> 00:54:10.680 You guys, God has called me to be in the pain process 953 00:54:10.680 --> 00:54:15.320 with all of you during this transformation into partnership. 954 00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:19.120 And it's the most rewarding thing 955 00:54:19.120 --> 00:54:21.360 when people that have been in the most pain 956 00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:24.640 and have, quite frankly, driven me the most crazy 957 00:54:24.640 --> 00:54:28.880 with their constant negativity show up in my DMs 958 00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:32.240 and say, thank you for never giving up on me. 959 00:54:32.240 --> 00:54:34.840 I found the love of my life and I'm getting married. 960 00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:36.640 Jesus, yes. 961 00:54:38.720 --> 00:54:42.920 Because you guys, I actually have supernatural faith 962 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:44.840 that you will find your partner. 963 00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:47.160 So I'm gonna use that gift. 964 00:54:47.160 --> 00:54:48.000 It's a gift from the Lord. 965 00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:49.360 I'm gonna continue to use it. 966 00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:54.280 But trust me, it becomes tiresome in the process 967 00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:56.960 when people are in pain, they're lonely, they're upset, 968 00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:58.720 they're angry at God, they're offended. 969 00:54:58.720 --> 00:55:00.680 They don't understand why it's taking. 970 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.640 too long, but I have the supernatural ability to persevere in that pain process with you 971 00:55:05.640 --> 00:55:10.400 because God is empowering me to do it, not just because I'm a good person. 972 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:15.760 And you have the supernatural ability to process pain with someone else as well. 973 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:20.480 So my question to you is, who are you sitting in pain with? 974 00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:26.080 Who are you contending with for the fulfillment of their promise? 975 00:55:26.080 --> 00:55:31.960 And I want all of you to take the same grace that is being released upon you for the revival 976 00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:37.200 of marriage and family and being able to have supernatural faith for partnership. 977 00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:38.720 I'm releasing that over you. 978 00:55:38.720 --> 00:55:43.840 I want you to be releasing that over people in your communities, people that you have 979 00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:45.040 connection with. 980 00:55:45.040 --> 00:55:49.560 If you want to bring them here and have them join up, awesome, but you all need to be releasing 981 00:55:49.560 --> 00:55:50.600 that for sure. 982 00:55:50.600 --> 00:55:52.000 But what else? 983 00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:54.200 What else are you carrying? 984 00:55:54.200 --> 00:56:01.560 You're commanded to weep with those that weep and rejoice with those that rejoice. 985 00:56:01.560 --> 00:56:06.080 What are you carrying? 986 00:56:06.080 --> 00:56:11.960 What agreement can you add to someone else's process so they can get breakthrough? 987 00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:13.680 Who are you sitting in pain with? 988 00:56:13.680 --> 00:56:14.880 Who are you in process with? 989 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:18.000 I want you to go ahead and put that in the chat. 990 00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:19.600 And then very quickly, I'm going to tell you a story. 991 00:56:19.600 --> 00:56:22.040 I've told it before, but a lot of you probably haven't heard it. 992 00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:27.680 Early in my discipleship, very early on, there was a couple, in fact, one of the first couples 993 00:56:27.680 --> 00:56:29.720 that I helped get married. 994 00:56:29.720 --> 00:56:33.900 And I worked with him, and they were having a baby. 995 00:56:33.900 --> 00:56:37.720 They got married, and they both had really hard backgrounds. 996 00:56:37.720 --> 00:56:39.860 Both of them had been incarcerated. 997 00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:42.120 Both of them had suspended driver's license. 998 00:56:42.120 --> 00:56:45.040 They both came from fatherless families. 999 00:56:45.040 --> 00:56:47.240 They both came from inner city neighborhoods. 1000 00:56:47.240 --> 00:56:51.080 They had not had a good start in life at all. 1001 00:56:51.120 --> 00:56:57.000 And they were radically converted, radically. 1002 00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:03.360 I mean, full of the love of God, supernatural, amazing conversion happened for these two 1003 00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.600 after they got married. 1004 00:57:04.600 --> 00:57:09.880 And it was incredible, and it was just incredible. 1005 00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:14.280 Remember, I'm a new believer, so I'm just amazed at how God has converted these two 1006 00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:15.840 and the change in them. 1007 00:57:16.080 --> 00:57:21.520 But you guys, they had all the same problems that they had before they met Jesus. 1008 00:57:21.520 --> 00:57:25.160 We do people a disservice, we say, oh, you met Jesus, everything's better now. 1009 00:57:25.160 --> 00:57:32.160 No, your eternal destination is for sure changed, and now you have the ability to walk and continue 1010 00:57:32.160 --> 00:57:34.800 to walk in newness of life. 1011 00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:39.960 You continue to by, you know, from faith to faith and from glory to glory, it's a process, 1012 00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:40.960 you guys. 1013 00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:43.800 Discipleship is a process. 1014 00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:47.160 And I didn't understand that yet. 1015 00:57:47.160 --> 00:57:50.480 And so they were running into all kinds of problems, and they were getting offended at 1016 00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:51.480 God. 1017 00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:52.480 And guess what? 1018 00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.720 I was sitting in their pain with them, so I was getting offended at God, too. 1019 00:57:54.720 --> 00:57:58.080 Do not take on someone else's offense when you're sitting in pain with them, you guys. 1020 00:57:58.080 --> 00:57:59.620 Make sure you don't do that. 1021 00:57:59.620 --> 00:58:03.040 So I was sitting there, and I was getting mad at God because nothing was going right 1022 00:58:03.040 --> 00:58:04.120 for these folks. 1023 00:58:04.120 --> 00:58:05.280 Everything was actually going wrong. 1024 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:08.520 And finally, I said to God, what the heck's going on? 1025 00:58:08.520 --> 00:58:10.600 I thought you loved us. 1026 00:58:10.600 --> 00:58:12.860 You notice the word us. 1027 00:58:12.860 --> 00:58:14.120 I'm taking on their offense. 1028 00:58:14.120 --> 00:58:16.600 Now it's like, oh, you're not doing it for them, and you're not doing it for me. 1029 00:58:16.600 --> 00:58:18.920 You know, I don't know if I can trust you. 1030 00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:23.480 So remember, I don't have enough experience with him yet to really trust what he's up 1031 00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:24.680 to. 1032 00:58:24.680 --> 00:58:26.040 And this is back before the internet. 1033 00:58:26.040 --> 00:58:30.320 This is back before, if you didn't know a scripture, you had to have a keyword, and 1034 00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:34.440 good luck finding it in concordance in the back of some old Bible, figuring out where 1035 00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:39.840 that scripture was by some keyword like baptism or holy or whatever it was that you were looking 1036 00:58:40.080 --> 00:58:42.160 for to find the scripture. 1037 00:58:42.160 --> 00:58:46.640 And that day, Holy Spirit quoted a verse to me that I had never heard, and I'm going to 1038 00:58:46.640 --> 00:58:50.760 release it and end with this. 1039 00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:55.400 He said, if you have run with a footman, and they have wearied you, meaning that if you've 1040 00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:01.760 just been in a foot race, and you're tired and worn out, then how will you contend in 1041 00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:05.680 the day of the horse and the chariot? 1042 00:59:05.680 --> 00:59:10.060 If you can't even run the foot race, what are you going to do when it becomes a horse 1043 00:59:10.060 --> 00:59:12.840 and chariot race against you? 1044 00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:18.000 And then it goes on to say, and if you cannot serve me in the day of peace, then how will 1045 00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:22.080 you serve me in the time of war or in the rising of the Jordan is the language in some 1046 00:59:22.080 --> 00:59:23.960 of the translations. 1047 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:27.800 So basically saying, if you can't serve me now, if you think this is bad, wait till you 1048 00:59:27.800 --> 00:59:33.740 see what's coming, is basically what the scripture is saying. 1049 00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:37.980 And God spoke to me about, their names are JJ and Angie, He said, Jackie, I have them 1050 00:59:37.980 --> 00:59:41.060 on a fast accelerated track to maturity. 1051 00:59:41.060 --> 00:59:51.780 They don't have 20 years, 30 years to walk with me in experience and gain trust for me. 1052 00:59:51.780 --> 00:59:59.100 They have to gain trust a lot quicker because of where I'm taking them and also what's coming. 1053 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.480 I want to tell you guys that yeah, maybe you're not partnered yet, but your partnership is 1054 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:13.800 not just about you having someone to, you know, go to farmer's markets with, and if 1055 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:17.880 you're still at the childbearing age, have children with, yeah, those are all great things. 1056 01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:21.040 Having a companion to do life with, having someone to witness your life, these are all 1057 01:00:21.040 --> 01:00:24.360 important things of partnerships, but it's not just about that. 1058 01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:27.000 You need a partner for what's coming. 1059 01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:31.760 In your own trajectory, in God's plan for you, whatever that work is for the kingdom, 1060 01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:37.080 and then also the work that we're all to do in the kingdom while it's still day, the Bible 1061 01:00:37.080 --> 01:00:38.080 says. 1062 01:00:38.080 --> 01:00:39.080 Work while it's still day. 1063 01:00:39.080 --> 01:00:43.400 We all have been called for such a time as this. 1064 01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:47.280 Ephesians 6, 9 says that if we're not weary in doing what we know is right, we will reap 1065 01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.680 a harvest if we do not give up. 1066 01:00:49.680 --> 01:00:54.440 And so Lord, I just release that grace, that persevering power over your kids, but also 1067 01:00:54.520 --> 01:01:00.240 Lord, that Isaiah 61 mandate that they would strengthen those that are weak. 1068 01:01:00.240 --> 01:01:03.760 The Bible says to strengthen those that are weak, those that have become weak in their 1069 01:01:03.760 --> 01:01:06.840 faith, those that are about to give up. 1070 01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:11.160 And Ephesians 61 says that we are repairers of the breach. 1071 01:01:11.160 --> 01:01:13.240 We are restorers of paths to dwell in. 1072 01:01:13.240 --> 01:01:19.140 Jeremiah 6, 16 says that there is a good path. 1073 01:01:19.140 --> 01:01:24.000 You're here to point people to that path, not just to Jesus, yes, definitely. 1074 01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:28.400 The evangelists for the kingdom of God and for the finished work of the cross, but also 1075 01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:32.880 for this and other areas of your life where you have had victory or you know that your 1076 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:39.640 victory is assured and it's coming soon, please, I'm asking you, do not keep that to yourself. 1077 01:01:39.640 --> 01:01:41.860 Give other people a reason to hope. 1078 01:01:41.860 --> 01:01:46.800 Tell everyone that you meet the reason why you have hope in these areas. 1079 01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:51.960 If you want to point them to these conversations, point them to these conversations. 1080 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:57.880 But all of us have been called to not spiritually bypass the people in our lives that are sitting 1081 01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.560 in pain, but to help them process with the truth. 1082 01:02:01.560 --> 01:02:04.000 And so, Father God, we thank you for today. 1083 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:08.160 We thank you, Lord, that there's a revival of marriage and family and that we are revivalists 1084 01:02:08.160 --> 01:02:11.360 and everything that is indicative of marriage and family. 1085 01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:16.680 By one man's disobedience, we all became sinners, but by one man's righteousness, we have all 1086 01:02:16.680 --> 01:02:18.520 become righteous. 1087 01:02:18.520 --> 01:02:23.080 By the obedience of Christ, we've come back into alignment with our original identity, 1088 01:02:23.080 --> 01:02:26.640 which includes relationship with you, ourselves, and others. 1089 01:02:26.640 --> 01:02:27.640 It includes partnership. 1090 01:02:27.640 --> 01:02:30.640 And so, Father, we thank you for that truth. 1091 01:02:30.640 --> 01:02:35.600 We stand upon that rock of truth that cannot be moved, regardless of what's trying to sway 1092 01:02:35.600 --> 01:02:37.480 us one way or the other. 1093 01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:43.360 And Lord, we ask God that you would do what you've created to do, and that is to put us 1094 01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:46.040 together for the purpose of your kingdom. 1095 01:02:46.040 --> 01:02:47.040 In Jesus' name. 1096 01:02:47.040 --> 01:02:48.040 Amen. 1097 01:02:48.040 --> 01:02:49.040 All right. 1098 01:02:49.040 --> 01:02:50.040 I love y'all. 1099 01:02:50.040 --> 01:02:50.040
