Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
I am so glad you guys are here this morning.
I feel a cheerful attitude this morning.
I hope that you do as well.
If you're new to Supernatural Saturday, this is the one day a week where we meet as a community
to look to the Lord for what is the current prophetic revelation.
What is it?
What is the current prophetic revelation?
I believe that God wants us to experience swift and powerful winds.
I do, especially in this season.
I can't tell you how many people I released a word at the beginning of the year for singles
and you know, I'm sure it's for other people besides singles.
It's definitely for me and I'm not a single, but because God has made me a prophet to the
single nation, you know, when I receive a word, I definitely release it in this community
and for the single community just at large.
And so that word was full circle.
And I cannot tell you how many times that word has been confirmed, how many times just
in passing someone has used that phrase with me.
Even yesterday, I was recording a podcast that will come out on April 22nd.
If you don't follow me on Instagram, follow me on Instagram.
That's where I announce a lot of news.
I announce a lot of new things over there as far as, you know, a podcast that I'm on
or something that I'm doing.
And I want you to remember when you're over on my Instagram that if I do a single spotlight,
if I announce something that's coming up, you guys will always be the first in line.
This community, that's one of the perks of membership.
You will always be the first in line.
If you show interest in a single spotlight that I do over on Instagram, I will always
vet out the possibilities from within this student body before I let the public have
a chance at that.
Okay?
So I just want to make sure that you know that.
But check out Instagram and follow it.
If you don't have an Instagram, that's fine as well.
Don't worry because you will eventually get the news as well.
Okay?
So I don't want you to worry like, oh, I got a good Instagram.
No, you don't.
If you don't have one, that's fine.
But full circle, like yesterday, I was recording this podcast coming out on April 22nd.
And she used those words.
She goes, yeah, everything seems to be coming full circle.
And I'm like, I'm so glad you said that.
And then we went into that word from the Lord and all the things that have been surrounding
that.
So you guys, all we have to do for our full circle moment is just get positioned.
And you're like, well, Jackie, I don't know.
Where should I be positioned at?
Well, it's not for you to know.
And I know that sounds a little crazy, like get in position.
And yet you don't know where to be positioned.
I'm talking about a heart posture.
I'm not talking about your physicality.
I'm talking about your heart.
Just get your heart positioned to receive.
Just get it positioned to receive.
And there's some ways that we can get ready to receive.
There's some ways that we can measure whether or not we're ready to receive.
Are you good at receiving?
Is your heart good at receiving?
That's the most important thing you should be asking yourself when it comes to positioning.
Is your heart good at receiving?
Can you receive?
Can you receive freely?
Can you receive tearfully?
Can you receive things that you don't deserve, that you didn't earn?
Can you?
So that should be a question that all of us ask ourselves as we're going into the rest
of this full circle season.
Guys, it's already April.
What the heck?
We're heading into time of Passover, the celebration of the resurrection, which I love.
Easter is one of my favorites.
That's on the 20th of this month.
There's so much to look forward to, and we'll be doing a lot of special Supernatural Saturdays
as we get towards that.
I have a little bit more of an announcement this morning.
My book, Modern Dating Sucks, is going to be available for presale in just a couple
weeks.
You guys, I'm almost done.
It's going to be great.
I'm so excited about this book.
Also, I have another exciting announcement.
Two different purely Christian dating apps that started in the UK, they're big in the
UK, now they're making their US debut.
They have reached out to do exclusive partnerships with us.
What does that mean for you guys?
That means exclusive premium memberships on these dating apps that are for Christians,
owned by Christians.
It's important that you understand the difference.
All of those other Christian apps, Upword, they say they're for Christian, right?
Zoosk and all that, they're all owned by the people that own Tinder and Bumble.
They're all owned by the same people, but these apps are for Christians, owned by Christians.
Okay, and so we're going to be doing some fun series of podcasts around different topics
that have people stuck.
We're going to be doing some in-person pop-up events in different cities.
There's going to be online speed dating that you guys will be able to come to free premium
membership because of being part of this community and the partnership that I'm doing with these
folks.
And so I'm really excited about that.
You guys, so we're in talks right now.
I expect this stuff to get moving forward pretty quickly.
In fact, I think that we'll probably have one of those online speed dating events with
them this month in April before this month is even over.
Okay.
And right now they're sitting at 55% women, 45% men on the app, which is exciting.
They have a database of already 25,000 people and growing.
And I know that our involvement with that is even going to cause that to grow faster.
And so I was praying a couple of days ago, I think two days ago.
I was just walking and praying, walking and praying, walking and praying.
If you do have your prayer language, I want to encourage you to use it in this season.
I want to encourage you to walk and just pray in the spirit as much as you can because God
is putting pieces together.
If you don't have your prayer language, ask God to give it to you.
Ask God to give it to you.
God is positioning things.
He's putting things together.
And so in one of those moments when I was just walking and praying in my prayer language,
the Lord spoke to me and he said that this is a season of collaborations.
This is the season of partnerships.
This is the season of invitations and it's going to be a really exciting season.
So I just want to release that over you.
And as I step into the things that are for me, the collaborations and the partnerships
and the affiliations and the invitations, that is going to allow you to step into those
rooms as well.
So as I step into those rooms, you guys are going to step into those rooms with me.
Now you all have your own partnerships, collaborations, things as well.
But I'm just saying in this area, as I step into these things, that will open the door
for you to step into those places as well.
And I'm very excited.
I've been waiting for this for almost five years now.
Okay.
Ever since we said yes to this crazy adventure.
And so just keep pressing in, keep allowing God to show you places in your heart where
you're still not ready to receive, because once again, that's all that's necessary in
this time of positioning, in the time of full circle moments in your life, is that you're
just able to recognize them and receive them.
You don't have all of these objections to why it's not for you.
Why it's not the right time.
Why it's not the right person, place or thing.
Just yes, Lord.
Here I am.
Yes, Lord.
Here I am.
Look at all the people that we look up to in the Bible.
They were all just like, okay, yes, here I am, right?
They were.
They were, they were willing and ready to receive the word of the Lord, even if it was
a little crazy.
And it was a little crazy.
It was.
Let's just admit it.
It was a little crazy, but they were willing to receive it.
And you guys, that's my story.
That's why I'm where I am and positioned where I am in life, because I've always been willing
to receive the word of the Lord, even when it was a little crazy.
So I released that over you.
Whatever is blocking you from being able to receive, to being able to surrender into that,
that God would reveal it and heal it in your life.
So new book coming out, it's going to open a lot of doors, Modern Dating Sucks.
I was going to call it Christian Dating Sucks, but I really want a lot of people to read
it that maybe need to know a little bit more about what God's plan was for marriage and
family.
And so we're going to call it Modern Dating Sucks.
That is the actual title of it.
I mean, then these partnerships.
And so you guys get excited.
So Father God, we're so thankful in this season, more than ever before.
We feel the supernatural, super naturalness of your calling.
We know that you're wooing us.
We know that you're drawing us to yourself.
We know that during this Passover season, there are all kinds of amazing things that
are happening.
But most importantly, you're calling us out of where we've been to a place that you've
prepared for us.
You're positioning us.
You're allowing there to be full circle moments.
You're allowing there to be opportunities that we missed out on in the past, or maybe
didn't even recognize as opportunities in the past, coming back around again.
And we're asking you to help us.
Open the eyes of our heart, Lord.
Help us to see clearly.
Help us to surrender.
Supernaturally, give us grace, Lord.
Give us grace in this time of your calling.
That your word says that in the day of your power,
your people would be willing to be made willing.
And so we used to declare that over ourselves.
We are willing to be made willing.
Say that over yourself.
I am willing to be made willing
to step into what God has for me.
Doesn't matter if it wasn't my plan.
Doesn't matter if it wasn't what I wanted to do.
It's time.
It's my time to fully surrender to the Lord
and to allow him to have his way in my life.
Amen.
All right, when I woke up this morning,
I had a bunch of D words come into my mind.
And so we're just gonna run with that.
We're gonna see where Holy Spirit takes us.
So the words that just popped into my head
as soon as I opened my eyes this morning
were distraction, disruption, destruction,
detour, delay, and dead end.
Those were the words.
Like just like that in a little train,
they popped into my head this morning.
And so we're gonna go ahead and dig into these things
and see where Holy Spirit wants to take us
and what revelation he wants to give us.
So distraction, you guys know what that is.
We live in a time of distraction.
Every single day is full of distraction.
And how do you know if it's a distraction or not?
Well, anything that disrupts what God has told you
to focus on is a distraction, right?
Anything that prevents you from giving your full attention,
your full mind to something that's important
is a distraction.
The problem is is a lot of us don't know
what distractions are because we don't have a plan.
We don't have a plan.
We just kind of get up and float with the wind.
We're just floating through life.
We're doing all the things that we have to do, okay?
We have to do it, so we're gonna do it.
We have to get up, we have to put gas in the car,
we have to go to work, we have to do whatever it is,
push the papers around at work, whatever it is that we do.
Then we have to punch the time clock and leave, right?
We have to eat, so we're either gonna go through
a drive-through or a restaurant or we're gonna go home
and we're gonna open the fridge because we have to,
and we're gonna make something to eat and eat it.
Gonna drink something because we have to.
Guys, God wants us to shift.
In order for you to recognize what a distraction is,
you have to also recognize what intention is.
You have to also live an intentional life.
You have to live a life not full of I have tos
but full of I get tos, right?
Raise your hand if you wanna live a life full of I get tos.
That's exciting, what is that?
That is living a life of vision,
that's living a life of purpose.
And so when you have a purpose, when you have a plan,
when you're focused on a goal,
then you will recognize the distraction.
I saw a very disturbing video about how many months
we have in our lives if we live to be a certain age.
And the age was like the median age
that people live to nowadays.
So I don't know if it was 77 or whatever it was.
But how many months that we have in our life?
And then it showed you how many months
you were gonna spend sleeping.
Yes, you guys, during the course of your life,
you're gonna spend months asleep, months, okay?
Years asleep.
I don't know, that's like, wait, what?
So you're gonna spend years asleep
and then it showed how much time you're gonna spend
taking a shower.
How many months are you gonna spend
in the shower of your life?
How many months are you gonna spend driving your car?
How many months are you gonna spend,
just fill in the blank, just all the median things,
all the things that we do, menial things that we do.
And then it showed how much time
you're gonna spend at work or school.
Like during those years, it showed how much time
you're gonna be in school and how much time
you're gonna be at work and just all the different things.
And then it showed how many months after all that's done,
how much time you have left to do something else, right?
With this one and only life that you have.
And you guys, the reason why this video
kind of freaked me out, because right when it said,
okay, this is what you have left,
it showed how many months people are gonna spend
scrolling mindlessly on the internet.
And when that was all taken out of people's lives,
there was only like 100 months left,
or I don't know, like let's say 50 months left.
And you guys.
That was super scary.
And I was like, oh no, no, no.
But, and the reason why I use social media or the internet as an example is because
so many people are distracted by it.
And the only reason they're distracted by it is because they really
don't have anything better to do.
They don't have anything better to do.
I'm one of those people.
If you don't have anything better to do, what are you going to do?
Nothing.
You're just going to sit there and scroll.
This is the age that we live in.
You're going to sit there and you're going to watch television.
You're going to binge all kinds of shows that after they're over with, they're over.
And you're like, now what do I do with my life?
Or after they're over, you're like, yeah, I really wish I wouldn't have watched that
because I got really involved in it and it wasn't really that good for me.
It wasn't that healthy.
Right.
And this is not a sermon on technology, but in order for us to recognize our
distractions, we have to know what our goals are, what our purpose is.
And then your distraction is anything that prevents you from giving that your full
attention.
A distraction is anything that prevents you from giving what you need to give your
full attention, your full attention.
Years ago, when God put me on a certain mission, he said, anything that distracts
you is your enemy.
Distraction is your enemy.
Okay.
Obviously people aren't my enemy, but distraction is my enemy.
And so I need to treat it as such.
Instead of just allowing it in, I need to shut it down.
Now, friends, if people have become a distraction for you, reaching your goals
for things that you know that you have to accomplish, then you have to put up
healthy boundaries.
You have to say, no, I'm sorry.
I can't do that for you right now.
I have to finish this.
And we're not going to get into a time management sermon this morning.
This is just an overview where God just wants to speak to individual hearts about
individual subjects.
We're going to talk about a few things.
High 30,000 foot overview.
And then whatever Holy Spirit is saying to you, that's the message.
So the next word is disruption.
Distraction and disruption are similar words, but disruptions are problems or
disturbances that interrupt a process.
The word disrupt, you see it almost has the word interrupt in it.
It's interrupting a process.
You guys, I will tell you that every time I know that I've, you know, talked about
publicly so many times that I'm in this new season of life called menopause.
All right.
And it sucks.
I got to be honest with you.
It really does.
But I will say that I have tried to get ahold of it.
I've done lots of research.
I've read the books.
I've talked to the doctors.
I've done the things because, you know, it's a life, it's a life altering season
and I need to get ahead of it.
But every time I've gone to implement what I've learned, listen up, every time I have
gone to implement what I have learned about what I need to do to optimize this
season, friends, regardless of what season you're in, you can optimize it.
We're just managing our seasons.
Oh, I'm going to manage to get through it.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to manage to get through it.
No, you need to optimize it.
And I'm an optimizer kind of personality.
So as soon as I found out what I need to do to optimize it and I began to do that
work, there have been disruptions in the form of things that I cannot control.
My brother having this mental health episode, having all different types of
crises that have tried to come in and turn these disruptions into destructions.
I got the norovirus.
You know, it's so interesting.
And I told my husband, it cannot be coincidental that every moment that I am
trying to implement this plan that I believe that Holy Spirit helped me put
together on how to optimize my health in this season, something is coming and
trying to hijack it.
All of a sudden, you guys, I was just minding my own business, opening a package.
All I was doing was opening a package, just, you know, tearing the top off a
package and opening it.
And my wrist went wonky.
I was opening the package and my wrist like got messed up somehow from doing a
movement that I do, you know, all the time.
And I'm like, what is happening?
And my wrist would not work.
I mean, it literally could not be moved.
It was like, you know, I fractured it or something.
Of course I didn't.
And I knew that I didn't, but that happened.
And then it's like all my warranties on my body are getting called in, right?
All my warranties are like expiring or something.
And then, then when I tried to implement the plan, then I got some sort of other
thing happening, this weird sciatic situation that just kind of came out of
nowhere.
You guys, I'm not over spiritualizing things.
I know that these are very natural things, but I promise you they are
distractions and disruptions and even things that are trying to
cause destructions in my life.
Every time that you take the intention and the focus and you bring it to God to
make a plan to bring about a solution to something in your life, and then you
begin to work that plan and then all hell breaks loose, all of a sudden, all
kinds of things start falling apart.
Your car breaks down, this happens, that happens.
Please do not just be like, oh, what a coincidence.
No, it's not a coincidence.
It's not.
It's a demonic disruption.
That's what it is.
And you know what?
That's when you know you're on the right track.
Now, if you didn't put oil in your car for eight months and then it finally
blew up, that's on you.
But I'm talking about the things that have been stewarded well, they're
stewarded well, and then all of a sudden things just start going on the blitz.
Okay?
They start going on the fritz.
That's what starts happening.
And you're like, what is happening?
What is happening is that you're on the right track.
And I want to tell you, I want to tell you something this morning.
And please, please listen and please take it seriously.
And I am too.
I am too.
Do not stop.
The only way that you are going to press past these disruptions and these
distractions are to keep going.
You're like, well, Jackie, you know, I physically can't keep going well, you
might not be able to run, but you can crawl.
You guys, we have to show these demonic opposing forces that are trying to keep
us from breakthrough, that we are not going to give up.
I would be lying to you if I said that when these things happened, after I've
already been in a season of suffering with my body, you know, so many years
you know, season of grieving, even with my body gained 45 pounds, body doesn't
work the way it used to having to have all of this input just to sleep, not
have hot flashes all day long, all the different things that need to be changed.
They need to be done.
I'm willing to do that work.
But then when I start to do that work, all of a sudden, these things come as
obstacles, not allowing me to do that work.
There were a couple of days when I felt like I just wanted to give up.
You know, what's the use?
Nothing ever works.
Nothing ever changes.
And you can apply this to any area of your life where you're having this happen.
It doesn't have to be your health.
It can be anything.
It could be a job search.
It could be your finances.
It could be your love life.
It could be anything.
It doesn't matter what it is.
I believe that we are at a point of breakthrough.
I do.
David and I lived, we moved to Austin seven years ago on March 31st.
It was seven years ago that we got in our truck, our U-Haul truck, and loaded
it up with the stuff from our storage unit because we had already been living
in transition because God told us we were going to move in June, well, we told
ourselves we were going to move in June because that was the time that was
convenient for us to move to Austin.
We already knew we were moving to Austin.
We're going to move when it's convenient, when the time is right
and perfect, and God said, no, you're going to go now.
It was March, but God, we're going to move in June when it all makes sense.
He's like, it doesn't need to make sense.
You need to move during Passover.
What does Passover have to do with anything?
I mean, seriously, what are we, Jews in the desert?
What's going on here?
Why do we have to move during Passover?
No, I actually didn't ask those questions.
I would say, okay, Lord, you say we have to move during Passover.
Then we have to move during Passover.
So we loaded all our stuff up from the storage unit.
And on March 31st, we drove to Austin, Texas because we were several months
ahead of time, we did not have a place to live, but within 24 hours
of moving here, we had an apartment.
We had help from a local church to unpack our stuff and
take it up to our apartment.
And then we were just here for what reason?
We don't know.
We know originally why God told us to move to Austin about the creative
community and the new model of church that he wanted us to plant here.
Not a church, but more of a community for creatives, film,
fashion, art, music, media.
Being able to help people to become God's publicists in the earth and
use their gifts and talents.
You know, we called it the depot back then.
Now we call it the wheelhouse.
And you guys, seven years to the day that we moved here,
March 31st, we signed the lease on the venue
that we could never find when we first moved here.
We couldn't find it.
We looked everywhere, high and low.
There was nothing that we could afford.
There was nothing that seemed right.
And I'm thankful for that
because there were a whole lot of other things
that we needed to do before we could launch this project,
namely the project that you're part of, last year's single.
Had we done that before we did this,
then this wouldn't exist.
And so God knows how to play the Jenga, okay?
You gotta trust him on that.
But when I tell you there were so many distractions
and disruptions, there are.
And I think that we think, hey, if it's God,
then the path's gonna be smooth.
It's gonna be easy to get done what God has told us to do.
No, that's not true.
And I don't know why you would ever think that
because there's absolutely no precedent for that
in the word of God.
There is supernatural power.
There's supernatural partnership and help.
But we have to push past the objections,
the distractions, the disruptions,
the things that the enemy wants to have become destructions.
Past, okay, here's our next D words
that popped in my spirit this morning, detour.
We have to push past the detours.
What's a detour?
It's when you're forced to go a less direct route.
You guys know, we do it all the time when we're driving,
especially during construction season,
which is spring and summer.
All the roads seem to be under construction right now.
And what happens is that we're forced
to take a less direct route.
There's a very direct route to wherever it is
that you're trying to go.
And then there's a lot of less direct routes.
And that's what a detour is.
A detour is when you don't get to go from A to B.
You're forced to go from A to C to L, M, N, O, P
before you can get to B.
Right?
And a lot of times these detours can be
because there's lack of preparation.
Hey, we're not gonna put it all on the devil, okay?
There's a lack of preparation.
There's a lack of intention.
That can happen for sure, and it happens a lot in our lives.
But when it is a demonic detour, I know this for sure.
What the devil means for evil, God always turns for good.
Okay?
Seriously.
I have had some real demonic detours in my life.
It wasn't me.
It definitely was supernatural.
And it actually worked out better
than if I would have taken a direct route.
So much better.
So those detours, a lot of times
when God is the author of them, right?
God can use all of these things.
It's to avoid an even bigger problem.
And that's what detours are on the road.
You know, the road's all torn up.
You can't go that way.
If you go that way, it's gonna be a problem
for you and your car.
You know, there's a gas leak.
There's a water leak.
There's a flooding.
There's something that's happening.
The detour is for you to avoid a problem.
And the other kind of detour
that kind of came into my heart this morning
is you, you know, you wanna take the direct route.
Now you're on the scenic route.
You're not taking the direct route.
But it's also because there's some things
that God wants you to see along the way.
When we got here, we expected to just fully plant
what we used to call the depot.
We expected to plant that.
That's what we were here for.
But there were lots of detours.
Lots and lots of detours
because God wanted us to see some things along the way.
And you might even, when you're traveling on a road trip,
you might even take a detour.
You might not even go the direct route
because you wanna see something, a landmark.
You wanna see something historic.
You wanna see something that, you know,
you found on the map that looked interesting, right?
And so you take a detour in order to find it.
And so they're not always bad.
They can be really good.
And then the next word is delay.
And all that means is that something is happening later
than it was originally planned or expected.
I know we hear in the church world all the time,
I don't know what preacher coined the phrase,
delay is not denial, and it certainly isn't.
Delay certainly isn't denial.
But there are delays that don't need to happen.
There are delays that are only happening
because we're not prepared.
I hope that you get that theme
throughout this morning's call.
God wants us to be prepared, specifically in our hearts.
And that's why it's really important
that if there's nothing that you consciously know
to do in this moment,
that you just begin to pray in your prayer language.
15 minutes a day, set aside to do it, you're like, well, Jackie, that seems so contrived.
It doesn't matter, it's supernatural.
It doesn't matter if you intentionally do it, you should intentionally do it.
Paul the apostle says that you should intentionally do it, he said, I am so glad that I speak
in tongues more than all y'all.
He said that, you guys, that's Bible, except for the all y'all.
What is that?
That is spiritual bodybuilding, that's what that is, okay?
That is where you are building up your spirit and once again, if you're freaked out by that,
you don't really have any theology for it, then, you know, let us help you.
There was a time in my life when that was true of me, I was freaked out by that.
I thought, I didn't just think it was weird, I also thought it was fake.
I'm just going to be truly transparent.
I didn't just think it was weird, I definitely thought it was weird, but I also thought it
was not real, just people being weird, just period.
It was weird and the people that were doing it were also weird because they were faking
it kind of thing until it happened to me.
I mean, it didn't just happen to me without my consent, but in a moment of time in my
early 20s, I was invited in to that experience in my living room by my former husband because
he recognized, having grown up in a charismatic background, he recognized the signs of the
infilling of the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in a prayer language.
He recognized those signs on me physically.
While we were praying in our living room at like two o'clock in the morning, I was in
the middle of a crisis, I was having some mental health and physical health issues,
and this is one of the, I think this is really interesting, but this is one of the times
in my first marriage, now we were really young, you guys, and young people have a tendency
to be selfish, but this was one of the times in my first marriage when my former husband
showed a lot of compassion for my situation.
So it was in that moment of compassion when he was there, and once again, having been
raised in a charismatic environment, he recognized this and he said to me,
why don't you just let Holy Spirit in?
And I didn't know what that meant intellectually, okay, I didn't come from that type of background,
I didn't have any of that teaching, I don't understand what that meant in my mind, but
my heart resonated with it, and so I just remember in my mind, I just said to God, God,
I really don't understand what's happening right now, but I surrender to you.
I said that in my mind to God, and as soon as I said that in my mind to God, the next
time that I opened my physical mouth, I was no longer speaking English.
I was actually singing in this beautiful language that I had never heard before, singing in
it, you guys, and that doesn't happen like that for everyone, but what happens is that
whatever it is that you're saying, whatever it is that you're confessing, whatever sound
is coming from your body is not coming in any way that you recognize.
For some people, it's just syllables at first, and I had no intention of going this direction
with this phone call, with this Supernatural Saturday, so I know that this is Holy Spirit.
No intention of talking about this. Sometimes it's just utterances, just utterances, just sounds,
just syllables. What is that? That is bypassing your human intellect and your spirit
speaking to the Spirit that created it,
and you guys, I can't explain to you the feeling that I had in that moment, but
I think it felt a lot like heaven feels. I felt so free and so at peace because I told you I was
in the middle of a crisis. I felt free. I felt at peace. I didn't just think everything was going
to be all right. I knew that everything was going to be all right in my heart. I felt seen.
and known and loved and held, I felt protected, there's joy in that moment, and I remember
the next day I was like, hey, you know, like, how does this work?
Like no one could ever take that moment away from me because it was supernatural, it was
a miracle, right?
It was a miracle.
And so it was like, okay, I know this was real, I know that I wasn't faking it, there's
no way I could have possibly faked this, you know?
And I was like, so now what?
Now what do I do?
I just remember that I was looking in the mirror, I was combing my hair, I had to leave
my apartment, I was combing my hair, and I was looking in the mirror and I was just like,
you know, God, when?
Like, when?
You know, how, when, like, is that it?
Does it, does it happen more, you know, how, how do I, how does this happen?
You know, kind of thing.
And I'm just kind of talking out loud to God and then all of a sudden I start speaking
in my prayer language again.
And I was like, oh, I control it.
I control it.
This spirit is subject to me, I control it.
And you guys kind of like learning to ride a bike, you know?
Once you know, you know, but there's a few bumps along the way.
There's some things that you have to kind of work through and work past, right?
But I can tell you that I do believe in this season of time that we're in, it's a very
supernatural season.
I don't know if you can feel it in your own life, guys, but it is.
There's a lot of breakthrough.
There's a lot of things happening.
Remember I told you about the, now, you know, on seven year anniversary of us coming here,
we found this place, we signed the lease, that's a full circle moment.
And I want you to participate in this because I know that God has these moments for you.
Things that have seemed delayed, detours, maybe even long ones that you went on and
you don't feel like you ever actually made it to the destination that you set out to
go to.
And for some of you, it's because God's taking you to a better destination.
You're not going to actually go to that destination.
You're going to go to a better destination.
You know, you set your GPS, try to go to some restaurant, but it's closed.
It's permanently closed, but there's a better option.
There's a better option.
And for some of you, you're actually going to make it to your original destination.
You are going to make it there.
You are.
I just really feel in my spirit right now that someone set off to take a trip.
It's a trip that you always want to take all your life and something happened to keep you
from taking that trip.
There was some sort of distraction, there was some sort of destruction, disruption
that caused that trip not to happen, kind of at the last minute.
And you've never been able to go on that trip since, but God said, you're going to go on
that trip this year.
I know you don't even have it planned.
You don't have it booked.
You don't have the plane tickets purchased, but you're going to go on that trip this year.
You are.
You're going to go on that trip this year in 2025, not 2026.
You're going to go this year.
I plan to go to Brazil because I have all my materials translated into Portuguese and
God keeps highlighting Brazil to me.
And so a lot of times friends will put something off and, okay, I know I'm going to do that
someday category and that's okay.
That's okay.
We don't really have any concrete plans, so we can't say when we're going to do it.
We just know that we need to do it or that we should do it.
And so we put it off in that, okay, I'm going to do this sometime.
But then people kept coming up to me and I kept getting words from strangers that I was
going to go to Brazil.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
All right.
God, I hear you.
I'm going to go to Brazil.
Sometime I'm going to go to Brazil.
And then the last person that I ran into, friends, he was just visiting America.
He was at a business lunch that I went to at the very last minute.
We ended up being a kind of, not assigned, but kind of becoming prayer partners at that
event because it was a Christian business lunch.
And at the end, we're praying for each other.
And I don't know her.
I don't know her story.
I know nothing about her.
I haven't even talked to her yet.
She wasn't even sitting at my table.
And I began to pray over her and I give her a word of knowledge.
I said, God is going to show you why you're here.
You're asking in your spirit, why am I here?
And God is going to show you why you're here.
I had no idea that I was actually giving her that word.
And I also was the answer to that word because after she got a chance to talk, she told me,
I left Brazil.
I'm on vacation from my CEO job.
And I left Brazil and came to America because God told me to come here, but he didn't tell
me why.
She said, so I'm coming to Austin first.
and that I'm going to New York next.
And guess where I was going that next week?
New York, for a singles conference.
And guess where she was?
Single.
And guess where she was from?
Brazil.
And so then I said to her,
I said to her, well, this is what I'm doing,
and so the word that I said to her,
God's about to show you why you're here,
I was the reason why she was here.
And then she hooked up with me in New York,
up in New Jersey, she came to that singles conference,
and then she came to me and she said,
Jackie, I know that you're coming to Brazil,
but you're coming this year in 2025.
Guys, I don't have any plans to go to Brazil in 2025.
When I tell you that my year is kind of all plotted out,
it is, but I believe that word is true.
I believe I'm gonna go to Brazil this year in 2025
to launch or to kick off,
to pull the lever,
pull the lever, Cronk.
I'm gonna pull the lever on Brazil this year in 2025.
We're gonna do it, okay?
We're gonna do it.
Why?
Because God's timing is not our timing,
and oftentimes God's timing is,
it's a little squirrely.
It is.
The Bible even has a scripture about that,
about the well-laid plans of mice and men, okay?
It talks about our plans.
It says, you make your plans, that's great.
It doesn't say don't make plans.
It says, that's great, make your plans.
But then it says, but God orders your steps.
God orders your steps.
God puts those plans in order.
God shows you what comes first, second, third, fourth, fifth.
God shows you what's priority.
God moves those feet in the direction that you need to go
when you need to go,
regardless of what your well-laid plan said.
If you allow him to.
In that same season I was talking about
where I experienced that beautiful gift
of my prayer language.
In that same season, like I told you,
I was going through a lot of stuff.
And all kinds of things kept popping up
in my heart and in my spirit.
After that moment in my living room,
I started getting spiritual insight
that I had never had before.
Now, I don't want you to mistake what I'm saying.
Holy Spirit is with you and he is in you.
But this gift has a tendency to give a lot of revelation.
Okay?
And so I really want you to ask God for that gift.
And I don't want you, and the Bible says through Paul,
the Bible says through Paul
that we should cover these gifts earnestly,
which means that we should really want them.
We should really want them because we need them.
These are tools in your tool belt
that you can't go without.
So I started to have revelation.
And one of the revelations that I had
was about the verse in Proverbs that says,
trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not to your own understanding,
but in all your ways, that includes your plans,
acknowledge him and he will direct your path.
He will direct your path.
And so I started on a crazy adventure with God
that you guys, I've never gotten off of.
From that moment in my living room to now,
I have been on a ride that has never stopped
with all kinds of twists and turns
and just me yelling shotgun
and getting in the passenger seat
and allowing God to take me places
and to do things that are outside
of what I would consider my real house,
things that I'm not qualified to do,
accepting positions that I never had any schooling for,
doing all kinds of crazy things.
And I do not believe that I'm the anomaly, I don't.
I do not believe this is just
Jackie's crazy supernatural life.
I believe that this is the life
that every believer can have.
Guys, there's eight plus billion people in the world
and there's not that many of us.
And there's not going to be more of us
unless more of us start pushing past the detour signs
and saying, hey, this might be a detour
but it's not a dead end.
And so that's the last D word.
A dead end is a position or a situation
where the course of action
that would lead to something further is blocked.
You're in a place, you're in a position,
you're in a situation where it doesn't look like
you can get there from here.
Right?
Doesn't look like you can get there from here.
This course of action that you're in
you've been taking, it doesn't lead to anything further.
is a dead end, it's a dead end.
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.
But that's okay, because maybe you don't need
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.
to be taking that course of action anymore.
It's a dead end, it's a dead end.
And if you find yourself at a bunch of dead ends in life,
that's okay, because God has a different plan.
He has a different plan.
There's a new course of action.
And a lot of times what looks like a dead end
is not a dead end, it's just simply a delay or a detour.
But we're not gonna know the difference
if we just look at it in the natural.
And that's really the point
of this whole Supernatural Saturday.
God wants us to be able to see things with spiritual eyes.
He wants us to be able to see things with spiritual eyes.
Look how many times in the word of God
it looked like they were at a dead end.
Surrounded on every side by armies.
Right?
Locked in cities, there's nothing to eat,
there's nowhere to go.
Backed into a corner between a big huge sea
and a approaching army.
Look at all the times.
There's so many stories, there's so many times.
What seemed like a dead end, it wasn't, was it?
It was just an opportunity for a miracle.
It was just an opportunity
for a supernatural word of knowledge to come,
hold out your staff, part the seas.
Oh, you're in the desert, there's nothing to drink,
strike that rock with that stick in your hand.
We need supernatural direction
to overcome detours, delays, and dead ends.
And God has it for us.
Very often, my Siri that comes through my GPS on my iPhone,
when I've set on a course
and I have my GPS programmed to take me there,
it will tell me that there's a better route available.
Often, it warns me that there's traffic ahead,
there's a car accident ahead,
there's some sort of construction ahead
that's causing a detour or delay.
If you wanna get to where you're going, Jackie,
there's a better route available.
Sure, you can sit here in traffic if you want to,
or you can go off the beaten path.
You can go away that you weren't planning to go.
A less direct route, but a better route.
Does everyone feel that in their spirit?
It's a less direct route,
less direct route,
but it's actually for this season in your life,
a better route.
It's a better route to take.
There were so many times in my life
that I made it to a destination
and I did not go the traditional way to get there.
I did not go the traditional way.
And you know what God showed me by that?
He proved to me that you don't have to take
the traditional route to get to the place.
I remember sitting in the guidance counselor's office
of a very expensive private college
that had a very prestigious broadcasting program.
It was gonna cost a lot of money
and I was gonna have to take out student loans
and I was 32 years old
and I felt like God was calling me
to go into television at the time.
And I was sitting there
and even though this was the route
that people take to go into TV
and this piece of paper from this school
would have been very prestigious
in starting a career in broadcasting or in television.
As I sat there,
I knew that even though this is the preferred route,
that this is the route that people would counsel you
to take that it was not the route.
It wasn't the route for me to take.
It's the traditional route for sure,
but it wasn't the route that God had for me.
And instead he had me do a couple other things
and you know what ended up happening in this story?
Is I ended up getting a job in television
as a general manager of a small TV network in the Midwest.
That is a job that people don't get
until they have been working in the business.
in the industry for at least 11 to 15 years.
I got it after nine months.
I was on an accelerated track.
Now, did I fully understand how to do that job?
No, but God also knew that I was available
for some downloads.
Not knowing how to do something is never the problem.
Write that on your piece of paper.
You not knowing how to do something will never be
what keeps you from being successful.
The only thing that will keep you from being successful
is not being willing to do it anyway.
The information will come.
The revelation will come.
The people that you need to help you will come.
It doesn't matter what you don't know.
You're connected to the one that knows everything.
All that matters is you say yes.
I remember the day that the president of the TV network
called me on the phone.
I thought he was gonna hire me to be a sales manager,
a media buyer, something along those lines.
People are always trying to put me in sales
because I have a bold personality.
And he said to me, he said,
Jackie, I thought about it long and hard.
First of all, thanks for coming and touring the network
and we really love you.
We want you to work with us.
And I thought about it long and hard.
And the only job that I can see you doing
is the job of our general manager.
That's what he said to me.
The only job I can see you doing
is the job of our general manager.
I was like, excuse me, what?
And you guys, a lot of times we'll try to argue ourselves
out of some kind of promotion like,
oh, I'm not qualified for that
or I don't know how to do that.
And that kind of was my posture.
I have to be honest.
I was like, yeah, I mean, I just kind of hemmed and hawed.
I didn't really know what to say in that moment.
I was not expecting that.
And yet inside my heart,
I knew that it just needed to be a yes.
It was intimidating.
Guys, it's okay.
Don't say no to things just because they intimidate you.
Allow yourself to be stretched.
Don't say no just because it's intimidating.
Promotions should be intimidating.
They should be challenging.
Once again, you are going to get past a lot
of these distractions, disruptions,
even the destructions that are planned by the enemy,
the detours, the delays, the dead ends.
By what?
By having a supernatural upgrade.
Okay?
By having a supernatural upgrade.
So once again, I did not plan
about talking about prayer languages,
but if you want to be activated in your prayer language,
maybe you haven't used it in a really long time,
you feel like it's a little rusty,
or you've never been activated in your prayer language,
right, go and read in scripture about it.
Read about the gifts of the spirit, okay?
Go read that.
And then come tomorrow night,
and we're going to activate you there.
Once again, I had no idea
that this Supernatural Saturday was gonna be about this,
but it's really important that we go ahead
and follow after what Holy Spirit is saying to us.
So go read about them in 1 Corinthians 12.
Go read about the gifts of the spirit, okay?
And then tomorrow night,
if you want a little bit more teaching
and then some activation, then come, all right?
And if you don't, then maybe skip tomorrow's activation,
because that's what it's gonna be about.
I've just decided just now,
because I believe that this is what God is saying to do.
And so if you want a little priming the pump on that gift,
come tomorrow night,
and or you just want to receive it for the first time,
come tomorrow night.
I really honestly think the best place to receive it
is at home in your living room,
because that's really how I received it.
So you can turn off your camera tomorrow night.
You can just be on your own listening
and receiving what is being said,
and being able to, you know, transition into that,
but privately, right?
Because this, guys, just so you know,
this gift is for your private use.
That's what it's for.
I know a lot of churches,
a lot of crazy things publicly, and I'm not going to judge those places.
I am going to say that this is for your private exhortation, edification, and strengthening.
That is what it's for.
It's for your private revelation, and insight, and wisdom.
That is what it's for, okay?
And so, yeah, we'll do that tomorrow.
So, Father God, we thank you that you make our hearts willing to be made willing in the
day of your power.
And so, Lord, we thank you, God, that as we go about the rest of this day, you're going
to be drawing us to yourself.
You're going to be showing us that there are tools that we need that you have provided
for us, gifts that we need that you have provided for us in order to live a supernatural life,
in order for us to have clarity and insight in what you're doing in our life, and in order
for us to have a supernatural boldness that we need to be witnesses in this day and age.
And so, Lord, we thank you for these gifts, specifically Holy Spirit, and we're asking
that you would help us to overcome any kind of blocks that we have, anything that would
cause us to want to shy away from this, or shy away from you in this way, and these upgrades
that we can and should have, Lord.
If there's any kind of abuse that's happened in our past spiritually, if there's any kinds
of nonsense that's happened, Lord, God, I pray that you would just bring that stuff
to order in our spirits, in our hearts, that we'd be able to trust again in order to step
into these deeper levels of life in the Spirit.
In Jesus' name, amen.
All right, love y'all.
Have a supernatural Saturday.
