So, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
I am so glad that you guys are joining me.
If you are new here, welcome.
We're so glad that you are part of our supernatural community.
I just got to meet a bunch of ladies from our community in person here at a retreat
that I'm co-hosting in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and also known as 30A, that strip of interstate,
not interstate, but highway, 30A highway.
Santa Rosa Beach, Alice Beach, Rosemary Beach, Panama City, if you go towards the airport,
and Destin, of course.
And so, these ladies are lovely.
They're lovely, they're amazing, just like all of you.
There aren't any guys here, otherwise, I'd be saying that the guys are amazing, awesome
too, but I've been digging into a lot of the history of this program because they had a
lot of questions for me.
And when people get with me in person, they have a lot of questions for me about how the
program started and why did it start and all different types of things.
And so, we're going to dig into creating an impact today.
We're going to dig into some intentionality in our lives today here on Supernatural Saturday.
You guys, David Dorman was supposed to host this morning, but he is not going to be able
to host till next Saturday, which is good for all the people that are here because they
would be missing it because right now they're having a worship session.
And so, they wouldn't be able to be on here anyway.
So, perfect timing for that, perfect timing for that.
But in our discussions of the history of the program, we started talking about the fact
that this October 2025 will be our five-year anniversary, okay?
You guys know that the program used to be called Married in 12 Months or Less.
We pivoted about three years ago into Last Year Single, that being the branding.
By the way, our trademark just came through.
It's now registered.
Last Year Single is its thing, which is exciting.
And it continues to expand.
We're in a massive expansion.
And everywhere we go, new people are hearing about us.
They're coming to the program.
We have a live challenge next week.
Send your guy friends, send your girl friends.
So one of the things that we talked about last night, because I had a special session
just for the singles, is that we're going to have a celebration of grace, our five-year
anniversary.
God has been so good to us.
We have helped over 1,600 people get married in the last five years, and it's probably
closer to 2,000, somewhere between 1,600 and 2,000.
We honestly just have last track.
I try to, every time I see someone post a success story, I try to save the picture and
send it over to our team so that they can put it in our files.
But it's really difficult because there's so many people that have been part of this
program.
Sorry, there's a big truck going by.
This might not be the best place.
I might actually end up back in my room here.
I was trying to sit outside, but we'll see.
Okay, so we're going to have a big celebration.
We're going to announce the details of that, but we're going to have an opportunity for
all of us to gather in person somewhere here in the States.
For those of you that are international, I know that's going to be harder for you.
But the majority of our clients and students are here in the States, and so we're going
to go ahead and gather here and have a big party.
That's when I have a big party, a five-year anniversary party.
So anyway, that's what we were talking about.
And so I'm going to go ahead and see about going inside, you guys.
So you wouldn't think this is a tiny little side street.
You wouldn't think it'd be so loud here, but there's golf carts and there's landscaping
trucks.
And every time you want to try to get alone with God, what happens?
There's a distraction.
Maybe that's a really good subject to just launch off of.
Every single time you have a good intention to get quiet, to get alone, to get intentional,
what happens?
There's a distraction.
There's a disruption.
And sometimes we've got to press through that stuff.
I came here to have a nice, fun retreat, to co-host and help lead a fun retreat, and there's
been so much warfare.
As soon as I got here, the second day that I was here, well, actually the first day after
the retreat started, because I was here a little bit early, I got some unsavory news
from back home.
And it just kind of sucker punched me.
Anyone else been sucker punched by some not so great news?
And it's like the result of decisions people make and consequences that come from decisions.
and all the different things,
and maybe it doesn't really even have anything
to do with you.
Like, this didn't really have to do with me,
but it had to do with people that are close enough to me
that, you know, what's happening to them
is gonna affect me, right?
Some of us just really need to know that,
that, you know, the enemy is not going
to just come at you directly.
Sometimes he comes at you indirectly, amen?
Sometimes he comes at you indirectly
by, if he can't get you to fall, so to speak,
you know, you to fall into sin,
or you to make bad decisions with bad consequences,
then he'll get someone else that's close to you
to make bad decisions with bad consequences,
because he knows that their fall
is likely to affect you,
and maybe even cause you to fall in a certain aspect, right?
And that's why the Bible says that,
be careful, you know, if you think you're spiritual,
lest you fall, right?
It says that, and it's important,
because all of us can make mistakes
that have bad consequences.
All of us can, and all of us do.
And so anyway, as soon as I got here, that's...
All right, I'm going to head back inside.
I'm going to go ahead and unmute myself.
You're muted, Jackie.
All right, I'm going to head back inside,
because it's going to be too loud out there.
And I just said, sorry, friends,
I just, you know, found out this morning
that it was going to be necessary for me to lead this,
LACE, to do it, but we've done it before,
and we will do it again, right?
All right, so I want to talk to you guys
just a few minutes about intention.
Last night, I had a gathering for the ladies that are here,
that are part of our Last Year Single program,
and we really took a look at people's intentions.
We took a look at, you know, being intentional.
A lot of people, once again, we say this a lot,
but a lot of people say that they want something,
and they just really are not being intentional
about that thing.
They're not being intentional about it.
And so that's why they don't have it,
because when you want something, it requires intention.
And I'm not talking about, you know, good intentions.
I'm not talking about good intentions.
I'm talking about being intentional.
I'm talking about doing things with care,
doing things with excellence,
you know, doing things on purpose and not on accident.
It's really important that we understand that.
Gotta do things on purpose, not on accident.
A lot of us will just be roaming through our lives,
and something good will happen to us,
but it won't happen to us as the result
of any intentional action of our own.
It'll just happen to us because it's serendipitous,
a happy accident.
It'll happen to us because God is good all the time.
That is why it will happen,
but it will not happen as the result
of any type of purposeful action on our part.
And so I say that to say this,
if God is so good that good things can happen to you
without you even putting in any elbow grease,
without you even, you know, participating, so to speak,
then how good does God wanna be to you through you?
Let that sink in for a second.
How good does God want to be to you through you?
The Bible says,
let it be done exceedingly abundantly
above all we can ask, think, or imagine.
By what?
The power that works in us.
Doesn't it say that?
So if we can have good things happen
through no fault of our own,
no effort of our own,
then how many good things could we have happen to us
if we partnered with God?
If we got intentional about our lives
and intentional about our lists
and intentional about the things that we desire,
the deepest desires of our hearts,
what would happen?
I think that we would see a lot more breakthrough.
I do.
And the reason why people don't get intentional
is because first of all, we don't keep a schedule.
All right?
We're just doing what we have to do.
A lot of people get up and they do what they have to do.
They have to put on clothes
because we're not allowed to be nakey in the world.
Okay?
Can't walk out your house nakey.
So that's why they put on clothes.
There are some people, believe it or not,
that if we didn't have to wear clothes,
they wouldn't. So this is something that they have to do. They have to put on clothes and then they
have to go to some sort of thing that they go to that gives them in a return for their time
and energy and effort gives them money to live on. Let's call it a job.
Right? There's other people that have to go take care of other people.
They're caretakers of some sort. Maybe they're not getting paid for it. Maybe it's their elderly
parents. Maybe it's their grandchildren. Maybe it's their children. Got to get up every day
and you got to be a mom. You got to be a dad. You got to do those things. Now I know we get
to do those things and those things are a blessing. But for the purpose of this conversation,
we're talking about the things that we get up and do because we really do have to do them.
Because if we don't do them, who else is going to do them?
We got to clean up our space. We got to take out the garbage. We got to do the things.
And so, yeah, maybe that's part of your to-do list. But how many things on your to-do list
really have to do with your dreams, with God's vision for your life? How many things on your
everyday schedule have to do with you partnering with the promise?
I was telling the ladies here on this retreat that every single person that I have ever seen
get really intentional about this dream and this vision in their life of family
and marriage and partnership. I've seen every one of those people have it.
What happens is that we don't get intentional about things because we aren't really sure that
that is what we want, perhaps. I know that these are deep, deep things in the deep unconscious.
But no, Jackie, I want it. Do you? Do you want it? Because I've run into plenty of people
who deep down inside, if they were really getting honest, they weren't really sure they wanted it.
They thought they were supposed to want it because, like, what else do you do with your life?
If you don't get married, you don't have kids or, you know, you don't, even if you're, you know,
older and you're not going to be having kids, if you don't get married, if you don't partner,
then they'd say things like, well, you know, who am I going to be with when I'm old?
Who's going to take care of me if I'm old or sick or this or that? You guys,
that's not a good enough reason. It's not a good enough reason. So I want you to take a
couple seconds right now and we're going to just pray. Holy Spirit, deep calls to deep.
Guys, we're gonna do a lot of activations this morning, right? Because we want to get free and
want to get moving forward. So Holy Spirit, deep calls to deep. We're asking that everything from
the unconscious realm, from the hidden realm would come up to the conscious realm,
to the understood realm. And we're praying right now that you would show us
what is behind our lack of intention, specifically in the area of relationship.
And so right now, I want you to take a few minutes, close your eyes and really ask yourself,
really ask yourself, is this what I really want? Or is it what I think I'm supposed to want?
Maybe I really love my single life. Maybe I'm really happy. And I don't really have to worry
about what's going to happen five years or 10 years from now, because I'm content where I am
in life. And I know that God's going to continue to put people in my life that are going to be
with me in life and through life, regardless of whether I get married or not. That might be some
of you. And that's okay. We're not going to kick you out of this program if that's you. I just want
you to know that. But it's important for us to get behind, get, you know, get beyond, get down
to the root of where our intentions are. So take some few minutes. And then if you're one of the
people like, no, no, I'm pretty sure. I'm really sure. I'm sure. I'm pretty sure. I'm really sure.
I'm sure that I'm here because I really, really, really, really want this. Okay. I really want
this. Then I want you to write down why. I want to see why you want it. Write down at least three
reasons why you want it. And none of it can be so I don't die alone. Okay. That's not a reason.
All right, friends, go ahead and take a couple minutes to do this.
You don't need to know what it looks like, you guys. It's not important.
Why do you want it? That's the question. Not what does it look like? Why do you want it?
you
okay if you guys are done go ahead and start putting your number one reason on
in the chat let's see it
you
you guys I don't want to see because God wants it for me I don't want to see
because it's my calling I want to see why do you want it not just why does God
want it God created marriage it's the very first thing that he did in the
garden okay we already know that he wants it why do you want it
you gotta get clear on this you have to get clear you cannot move with intention
if you're not clear I know that I want to lose 25 pounds and I know the reasons
why I want to lose it it has to do with my blood sugar it has to do with my
blood pressure it has to do with my BMI it has to do with most diseases are
caused by high BMI it has to do with the way that I feel when I walk the pain in
my joints and my hips it has to do with inflammation I have specific reasons
behind my intentional plan to get my hormones balanced and get healthy
what is your why
you
Okay, these are getting better. They're getting better. All right. They're getting better.
All right, the more intentional that you become, okay, the more aware that you become about
what your why is, the more motivated you will be. If I was going to title today, it would
be what is your why? Anytime that you start a job, specifically a sales job, you know,
they will make sure that you come up with a why. Because you can't just sell people
stuff to sell people stuff. You can't. There has to be a why behind what you're doing.
Why do you think this product is great? Why should other people buy it? What is your why?
Social marketing, if you get involved with selling a specific product that has quote
unquote changed your life, they make you come up with your why. Your little elevator pitch
that you can say to other people when you're telling them about this product and why they
should get it by sharing why it has been a game changer for you.
So I need you guys to really dig into your why. And I need you to be really, for lack
of a better word, intentional about digging into your why. And this is why. This is why.
Because without a why, you're really not going to do anything. It has to be a strong why.
I already told you my why in wanting to lose this weight, balance my hormones, really just
balance my hormones because that weight will be a byproduct of that. Because it's inflammation.
Why do I want to do that? I told you. It's a strong why. It's a why that gets me up every
day and motivates me. It's a why when my hormones are out of balance and I'm having sugar crashes
or cravings, it's a food slapper that slaps food out of my hand. That's my why. That's
what the why does. It comes and goes.
knocks that donut out of my hand.
I'm not a donut eater, but David Dorman is,
so I'll just use donuts as an example.
It knocks it out.
No, friends, it's not gonna knock the matcha out of my hands
for those of you that follow me on Instagram,
because I don't put sugar in my matcha, and it's good.
It's the one thing that I live for.
I wake up every day and say,
I get to have a matcha today.
So excited.
And I'm so sad after I'm done drinking it,
because I realize I can't have another one
until the next day.
I'm like, oh, I love you, matcha.
And some of you are like that with your coffee,
so don't be pointing fingers at me.
All right, so let's go back to the word intention.
So intention implies action and outcome, friends.
Action and outcome.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
This is the law, correct?
And that means that you cannot have intentional action
towards something without that bearing fruit.
You can't.
And so for those of you
that have been having intentional action,
I really wanna encourage you and help you get excited
that that action is gonna pay off.
That action is going to pay off.
It is, if you don't quit.
Isn't that what the scripture says?
If you're not weary in doing what you know
is the right thing to do.
And sometimes you get more information and you realize,
oh, I'm not doing this the right way.
I need to do it this way.
That's fine.
As long as you're walking in all the information,
all the wisdom, all the light that you know,
that's all that matters.
That's all that matters.
God can bless that.
He knows what you know.
He knows what you don't know.
Okay, and he knows that you're doing your best.
So it says, if you don't become weary
in doing the right thing,
you will reap if you don't give up.
That's what the scripture says.
And that's an everything friends,
not just in your love lives, that's an everything.
But this is what really happens.
If we're being honest with ourselves,
we do get weary and we do give up.
And then we kind of, all right, I'll try again.
And then we try again, kind of half-heartedly
and we do it for a few minutes.
And when there's no noticeable change, we give up again.
Come on, we know we do this.
We know we do this.
We start eating healthy, we start exercising.
And then, you know, we get on the scale
and if we haven't lost 30 pounds in a week,
we're like, I'm done.
I'm done.
This, no, this is what we say, this doesn't work.
Yeah, if I'm lying, I'm dying, y'all.
You know, it's true.
This doesn't work.
We're having a problem and a well-meaning friend says,
oh, hey, have you tried such and such supplement?
And we're like, no, tell me more.
And then they tell us more.
And we're like, oh, okay, I'm gonna try that.
And so we buy it and we try it for like two days
and it doesn't do anything and then we stop using it.
And we see that friend again, they're like,
oh, hey, how are you feeling?
Oh, yeah, I still feel like crap.
Oh, well, did you get such and such?
Yeah, oh, and then we say this, it didn't work for me.
You guys, you know this is true.
I want you to examine your own hearts right now
because we know this is true.
We might feel something in prayer
or we might feel like we need to do something.
Like I gave a kind of a clarion call the other day
on Supernatural Saturday about,
hey, lay in bed and just pray the word over yourself.
Or if you have your prayer language,
just pray in your prayer language
just for a few minutes before you get out of bed.
Let's just do that.
Let's activate ourselves spiritually before we get up.
And people are like, yeah, that sounds great.
Well, we're only like two weeks in.
Raise your hand if you're still doing that every day.
Some of y'all never did it ever.
Anyway, we have a couple people hanging on.
And you guys, we have good intentions, right?
We have good intentions.
Like we're like, yes, I'm gonna do that.
But the problem is, is that we need to switch
from good intentions to being intentional.
Action based on outcome.
Action that's based on an outcome.
We have to become process people.
Listen to me, you guys.
We have to become process people.
We are product people.
Let me tell you what that means.
That means that we are focused on what happens,
the fruit of intention, the fruit of an intentional life.
We want that thing.
We're focused on that.
Future focus, we want that thing.
For all of you, it's to find an amazing partner
to share your life with and to be married.
We're focused on that thing.
But all the way up to that thing, there's a process.
All the way up to a healthy body, there's a process.
All the way up to a vibrant spiritual life,
there's a process.
And we have to, please hear me,
we have to become process people.
We have to become process people, not product people.
The product will come, but the process has to come first.
We can't get the cart before the horse.
The horse before the cart.
Can't get the horse before the cart.
We gotta get the cart before the horse.
Wait, whatever that saying is, y'all.
Can't get the cart before the horse.
I said it right the first time.
We can't, gotta get the horse before the cart.
We have to.
Now, I want you to think really honestly,
be honest with yourself.
Be really, really honest with yourself
about the areas of your life
where you're living unintentionally.
You're living unintentionally.
You don't have a plan, you don't have structure,
you don't have a schedule.
I know all of you personalities like me
that are really spontaneous, you're fun personalities,
you wanna fly by the seat of your pants, that's great.
That's great.
And you can do that in some parts of your life.
But in the parts of your life
where you wanna see a specific product,
you have to submit to a process.
You must submit to a process.
You have to.
And I know you don't like that
because that makes you feel controlled.
It makes you feel boxed in.
But I'm telling you, friend, from my own experience,
you will not see fruit,
you will not see the breakthrough that you're looking for
if you do not begin to be very intentional
about a process.
And we'll unpack this.
We'll dig deeper into this tomorrow
where what could that look like?
Here's the thing that I wanna accomplish.
What could my process look like?
What could my structure look like?
What does it look like to be intentional with this?
And I know it's not really romantic
to think about this in your love life.
It's very unromantic, right,
to think about this in your love life.
It's like, oh, gosh, that takes all the romance
out of the meet cute of someone just showing up in my life.
And I heard that today from one of the ladies
that's not single at this retreat,
because once again, this is not a singles retreat.
He said, oh, yeah, I have a lot of girlfriends
that think that their guy's just gonna roll up at church
and they're just waiting for them
to just roll up at church one day.
And a lot of you do secretly believe that,
that you're just gonna happen upon them.
You're just gonna, you know,
they're just gonna roll up at church one day.
You're just waiting, you're waiting.
Even though we say get out of the waiting room,
you are waiting.
And of course, there's a fine line
between working something like a job and trusting the Lord.
We know all that's true.
There's a fine line between those two things.
There are some of you that are on the,
you're on the other side of this.
You're on the other side of this.
You literally are very controlled, very structured.
You got spreadsheets for your dates, right?
We know you, we know that you exist.
And of course, there needs to be a little bit
of spontaneity in your process.
Because process doesn't have to be rigid.
It can be spontaneous, but you have to make room for it.
You have to make room for spontaneity.
I know that sounds weird.
It's like, well, the whole purpose of spontaneity
is that it just kind of comes out of nowhere.
That's not true.
You can make room for fun.
You can make room for being spontaneous.
You can have chunks of time in your schedule
where you can just do whatever you feel like doing.
We call it free time, don't we?
We call it free time.
The problem is some of y'all, all you have is free time.
There's no structure.
No structure to your life.
And because there's no structure to your life,
you're not seeing any of the fruit
of being an intentional person.
I've lost six pounds.
That took intention.
I had to work the plan.
I had to make the plan, and then I had to work the plan.
And even when I didn't want to work the plan,
even when it didn't seem like the plan,
plan was working, I still had to work it.
I still had to work it.
So friends, first step is, is we have to really get honest
about what do I want, and David Dorman's gonna get you guys
on this, in this season.
In fact, you know what we're gonna do?
He didn't do Supernatural Saturday, but he's gonna do
what do you want, and he's gonna do that tomorrow night
on Sunday night.
So we've got, because that was his topic, okay?
So what do you want?
You gotta get intentional, what do I want?
What do I want?
And then based on what you want, you're gonna prioritize
the things that you want the most,
and you're not gonna say stupid stuff like,
well, yeah, but it's not my time for that.
You guys, stop it.
It may seem a little counterintuitive because,
you know, you got a lot of stuff going on in your life,
or you think that things need to look a certain way
before you can have certain things, forget about that.
Just forget about it, just ask yourself the question,
what do I want?
And David will help you kind of dig through those thoughts
tomorrow night, okay?
All right, so what do I want?
And then based on what you want, you're gonna make a plan.
And then based on that plan, you're gonna work that plan.
And even when you don't wanna work that plan,
you're going to be consistent.
Say the word consistent.
Consistent, friends.
We have to be consistent people.
Acting or done in the same way over time.
Unchanging in nature, standard, the standard.
I'm just reading the definitions for you guys
so you can really hear what that means.
Consistent, standing firm, standing firm.
Consistent.
Okay, I just looked it up on Google.
Unchanging, standing firm.
Day after day, after day, after day,
after day, after day, after day.
And then what starts to happen?
You start to have breakthrough.
You start to see change.
And a lot of times we really lie to ourselves
and we tell ourselves that something's not working.
We tell ourselves that something's not possible.
We give up hope because we're not seeing
something happening in some area of our life.
But if we're really honest with ourselves,
like really, really honest,
we'll look and we'll see that we haven't been consistent.
We haven't been intentional.
We've had little spurts, little spurts.
And then once again, when things don't work out
the way that we want them to,
we start doing the old behavior again.
Right?
We start doing the old behavior again.
So Father, we're just asking you, Lord,
we know that you're not holding out on us.
That's the lie at the root of all of this,
that somehow you're not giving us the things
that our hearts desire, that you're holding out on us,
that you're keeping it from us,
that we're not ready for it yet.
That something is making us wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
When in reality, we are not apprehending the promise.
And so Lord, I'm praying that you would give us
a grace right now that we would shift our thinking,
that we would shift our thinking.
You're not holding out on us.
Everything that you have for us is yes and amen.
And we can start walking towards those things.
Friends, if you go to and you sit in a waiting room,
it's very boring, okay?
It seems like the wait is forever and ever and ever
and ever and ever.
Please hear me, Holy Spirit's talking to you.
You go and you sit down and you're just waiting
for someone to buzz the pager that they gave you,
call the number that they gave you.
It can become very monotonous and very discouraging, okay?
But there's this new thing that they do now.
You get on a waiting list.
for your turn and they just take your phone number and they're like hey, we'll text you when it's time and
What is that allowing you to do? It's allowing you to go do something else besides just sit idly and wait
It's allowing you to
Stay busy doing something else and what happens when you're busy doing something else
It doesn't seem like there's a long wait anymore. Does it?
When you get to go off and do other errands or other things nearby that you needed to get done
Then it doesn't even feel like you waited at all because before you know it your pagers going off or the text messages coming in
And it's saying hey, it's your turn. It's your time your table's ready
Your package is ready. Your this is ready. Your that is ready. Your food is ready
Right, so you're not just sitting there waiting. You're waiting for your food to come in
and
That is what it looks like for the word wait in the Bible
God doesn't expect you to go and sit down
Until he just feels one day like giving you what it is that you've been praying for you guys
That's not what God's like and that's not the way it works
What he wants you to do is he wants you to believe and receive you realize the moment that you pray
The Bible says if you believe that you will have it you have it
It says the moment that you pray if you believe it you have it
Now I know that we don't think we have it until it's in our hot little hands and we can touch it and feel it
And taste it and smell it
But we have to receive it by faith you guys this entire life is receiving by faith. You know that right?
Some of you prayed for the gift of your prayer language a few weeks ago when we celebrated Pentecost here and
It hasn't happened yet
but you did receive it that night that you asked for it because God is the giver of good and perfect gifts all good and
Perfect gifts come down from the Father of lights
If we ask we will receive if we seek we will find if we knock the door will be opened
It doesn't say sometimes
Why because God's a consistent God God's an intentional God. Whoa, come on. God's a consistent God. He's an intentional God
He doesn't just say things to say things if he says that he does it
And that's where the faith walk comes in people are like, well, I don't understand
What do you mean you don't understand
This entire life with God is based on faith
You're like well
It feels like lying to say that you know
I prayed and I asked for something and into it and to say that I have it why that's what the Bible says
The Bible says you have it
Now I understand that it hasn't manifested in the natural realm where you can see it taste it smell it touch it
But the Bible says you have it if you believe you have it you have it and can someone tell me what happens?
When you believe that you have something
It changes what you do, doesn't it?
Does it change what you do
You
Let's apply this to the subject at hand our love lives
if I asked the Lord for a good husband or a good wife if I asked the Lord for a partner if I got
Intentional about why I needed a partner and I went to the Lord and said hey God
I've really been thinking about this and these are the reasons why I need to be partnered
Here are the things that I know about myself as I've prayed and asked for more identity
Here are the things that I know from the prophetic words that you've given me. This is why I need to be partnered and
I'm going to be intentionally
Putting myself out there doing the things hiring a coach which you guys are here with me in this program and our coaching team
I'm gonna do what I can do and then God I'm expecting what you can do. This is what happens
When you don't just say it, but you receive it. You don't just say it, but you believe it and
You've received it by faith, you know what happens you don't you don't go out and
Mess your life up by getting involved with someone who's not a Christ follower
You know why because you believe that you have a husband or wife
In fact for all intensive purposes, you're already kind of married
Some derelict comes up to you. Can I buy you a drink? No. Sorry, sir. I'm married
You
What did you did you ask for it, did you believe it did you receive it?
There's something that you want to do
And it's only on a specific day and
You've asked God to allow you
you to do this thing, you wanna do this class,
you wanna go to this school,
you wanna do whatever it is, I don't care what it is.
And then your job comes to you and says,
oh, hey, you know, we have some overtime,
would you like to work on Wednesday nights?
And you know that that's the day
that you want to take that class.
You haven't been able to get into it yet,
but you asked for it.
You asked God and you believed and you received.
You're not gonna take that overtime on Wednesday night.
So you answer and say, oh no, I'm sorry,
I'm taking a class on Wednesday night.
But you're like, but Jackie, I'm not taking it yet.
Aren't you?
Because you asked for it.
God makes space for that.
Because you believed it and now you have to receive it.
You guys know that we receive everything
supernaturally first before we receive it naturally, right?
We receive it by faith.
The Bible says we walk by faith and not by sight.
It says without faith, it is impossible to please God
because you have to believe that he is
and that he is a rewarder of those
that diligently seek him.
But what happens instead is we ask
and we don't receive in the natural, in the manifestation.
We don't receive it yet.
And so we go out and just do anything else that we want
and then we come and we ask again.
And then we go out and just do whatever we want
when it doesn't happen and then we ask again.
And then we go and we date a couple,
cold dead beating two time and double dealing,
mean mistreating, loving hearts.
And then we come and we ask again.
Oh guys, it's true.
And I'm not saying that you have to date people
or get to know people, but we know how to date people.
We don't have to date people or get to know people,
but we know pretty quickly if someone is.
Friends, I want to apologize for the ARC dating app.
Okay, we're trying to partner with this true Christian app
that's supposed to be, you know,
really trying to get Christians.
And I'm going to about to have a meeting with them
because my ladies here, they screenshotted all the men
that they found on this app.
And it's like someone, you know,
went down to community day at the prison
and got everyone to sign up on this app.
So I've made a decision.
I'm going to talk to my team.
I know Bethany's on here and she get cringes
every time I say something before I talk to her
or the team about it.
But you guys know that we do have technology.
We do have technology.
We've had it for years and we have way better people
on our technology spirit mate match
than is even what's on this.
And I know that I've partnered
and I am going to continue to have my partnership
until July at least.
And I'm going to talk to them about some pivots.
Why?
Because I've asked God for something
and I believe that I've received it.
And that is a tsunami wave of kingdom marriages.
And I'm going to have it.
Okay.
I'm going to have it.
Because that's what I've been doing for the last five years
and I'm going to have it.
And yes, we've seen a little tidal wave.
I want a tsunami wave
because those are the words that God said
when he spoke to me.
I've seen a tidal wave, I want to see a tsunami wave.
Right?
That's what I want to see.
Everyone's going to get caught up in that wave.
That's what God said.
And so that's what I believe.
But anyway, I mean, seriously,
we ain't marrying Wilbur from this app.
There's a man on there, gentlemen, no offense to y'all.
But first of all, we got to help you take better pictures
but this couldn't even be helped with better pictures.
All right, this man literally had sunglasses on
and he must work at a restaurant
but his avatar photo is sunglasses,
sinister look on his face
and he is yielding a blood covered knife.
He's cutting something that's bloody with a knife.
I'm like, in what world did you think
this was the profile picture for a dating app?
Sweet baby Jesus.
What in the world?
Someone's like, I saw that guy too.
So anyway, bottom line is, is that yes,
we do remember, we believe, we receive
and then we make a plan and we work the plan
and we're consistent with the plan.
The Bible tells us we make plans but God orders steps.
You guys, it doesn't say we make plans
but God throws our plans away and he orders our steps.
No, it says we make plans, please hear
and then God orders our steps.
You guys, you have to make a plan
if you want God to order your steps.
You have to be consistent with.
a plan if you want God to order your steps.
If you want God to make divine appointments for you,
then you better stop zigging and zagging all over the place.
You better start living a life of intention.
Not that God doesn't know where you're gonna go anyway,
but the bottom line is,
is that if you wanna have divine appointments,
Rebecca went to that well all the time
when the servant found her to be Isaac's wife.
That was where she could be found serving her father.
Come on, you guys.
That's where she could be found.
Same thing with the other woman who was much married.
Jesus knew where she could be found
because she had a schedule.
She was living based on structure.
He was going to the well when everyone else was gone
in the heat of the day
because she was a scarlet woman in that town.
She couldn't go with all the other women.
She had to go at a different time
and Jesus knew what that time was.
You know why?
Because she was consistently there.
You made a plan and guess what?
God scheduled some divine appointments for you
based on that plan,
but you gave up on that plan week two.
And so you didn't meet that person at the gym at 10 a.m.
You didn't do this and you guys,
I don't want you to be like, oh no, I missed the boat.
No, the boat's coming back into harbor right now.
It's honking its horn.
It's saying all aboard.
If we want God to order our steps, you guys,
we have to make plans.
We have to make plans.
We have to live lives of structure
and intentionality and consistency.
We have to.
And that's all gonna start with the one question,
what do you really want?
So start praying into that.
Start thinking about that.
David's gonna add to that tomorrow night.
He's gonna really help you to,
you know, you might come with a list tomorrow night
of what you really want.
And then based on what he says
with the help of Holy Spirit,
you're gonna be like, wow, you know,
I thought I really wanted this,
but this is what's really highlighted
in my heart right now.
This is what's making my heart burn right now.
This is what I really want.
This is what I thought I wanted,
but this is what I really want.
Father, we know that you want us to live abundant lives.
That's why you sent your son to die for us.
You didn't send him to die for us
so that we can live ordinary lives.
You sent him to die for us
so that we can live extraordinary lives.
Full of abundance, full of overflow,
blessed to be a blessing.
And we want those lives.
And with our limited understanding,
we're gonna make plans, Lord,
knowing that with those plans,
you can order steps.
Because those plans tell you that we believe.
Belief requires action, Papa.
And when we make plans towards something,
it tells you that we believe we can have it.
And that's all you need.
All you need is belief.
All you need is faith.
And as we begin to walk by faith and not by sight,
as we begin to put the blinders on
to all distractions and disruptions,
and we will not be deterred,
and we will not be denied,
you will order our steps,
and you will put the super on our natural,
and we will see the fruit of our harvest.
Woo!
Yes, we will.
We will see the fruit of our harvest.
And won't that be a day?
And we'll be able to turn back around
and tell someone who's in their process
and in their plan,
we'll be able to say,
hey, don't give up.
Don't be weary in doing what you know is right.
Don't be weary in standing in all the light
that you have right now.
And when you've done all you can, stand.
That's called being consistent.
That's the very definition of consistent.
Don't you give up,
because you know what?
I was you once,
and look where I am now.
I was you once,
and look where I am now.
There are answers,
there are breakthrough.
There is gifts and rewards to faithfulness.
There are.
Someday I'll do a Supernatural Saturday
about the rewards of faithfulness.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
We will have,
if we don't give up,
that's the definition of faithfulness.
That's very specific, friends.
And God is not a liar.
So Lord, we just thank you for this time together.
Lord, we're asking God that you would give us a lot of food for thought as we get off this call,
that we begin to examine our hearts and see what's there, see what it is that we think we want,
and surrender that for what we really want, Lord, and begin to prepare for a life of intentionality,
for a life of structure, for a life of plans, for a life of process, and for a life of accelerated
harvest and breakthrough. Amos 9, 13, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, Lord, as we get on page with
you and we begin to do what it is that you have asked us to do, we will see your supernatural
expansion and abundance in Jesus' name. Right, friends, we're ending a little early today.
I have to go catch a flight here, but I'm excited to see what will be the fruit of tomorrow night
and as we walk that out together in this community. All right, I'll talk to you soon. Bye, everyone.
