All right, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
If you're new here, welcome.
We're so glad that you're with us.
This is one of my favorite sessions that we have in our program.
It happens every Saturday at 9 a.m. Central, which would be 7 a.m. Pacific, sorry friends,
and 10 a.m. Eastern.
And if you're in another country, you'll have to do the math because I'm not quite sure
what time it is where you are.
But we do this and we have been doing this for the last five years, it's going to be
five years in October, because God really wants us to know what's happening in that
unseen realm.
That's what Supernatural Saturday is all about.
We know what's happening around us in the seen realm, most of us do at least.
Most of us are paying attention to what's happening.
And then there's a whole unseen realm around us as well where things are happening, but
we can't see with our natural eyes.
And so we have to look with our spiritual eyes, and it's important that we do because
otherwise we might go by what we see in the seen realm with our natural eyes.
And the Bible says we don't walk by sight, right?
We walk by faith.
And we have to walk by faith.
We have to walk according to a supernatural GPS, because if we don't, then we can end
up in places that we don't want to be, and we can get upset about it, right?
It's raining here in Austin today, and there's the old adage that says that people create
storms and then they get mad when it rains, correct?
And so we want to make sure that we're not creating unnecessary storms for ourselves.
And so let's pray today as we look to the Lord and ask Him, Hey, God, what is happening
in your reality?
We know what's happening in our reality, but what's happening in your reality, because
we want to tune into that reality.
We want to live from that place.
We are seated with Christ in heavenly realities, friends, Bible says in heavenly places, but
in heavenly realities, in heavenly circumstances, we are seated with Christ, which means you
are here and you are also there.
And it's important that we live from there, not here.
I'm going to say that again.
It's important that we live from there, from that positioning, not from this positioning.
If we live from that positioning, then we will be able to get things done in this positioning.
Right?
Yes.
So Father God, we're looking to you today and we're so thankful that this is not all
we get.
What we see is not what we get, but what we say and what we pray is what we get.
And so we just thank you that we can come into agreement with what you're seeing and
what you're saying and come into agreement that you love us and come into agreement that
we are the head and not the tail, that we are above and not beneath and come into agreement
that everything that we ever needed was given to us on a hill called Calvary at the finished
work of the cross.
And we come into agreement with that right now.
Let our eyes and our ears and our hearts and our senses, all of our senses be in tune and
congruent with what it is that you're doing, Lord.
We're not going to allow our senses to be evangelists for unbelief, to bring into our
hearts and minds and try to convince us that you are not with us and that you are not for
us and that you do not love us and that you are not making a way out of no way, that there
isn't something going on in the unseen realm that is setting us up for breakthrough, that's
setting us up for a comeback, that's setting us up for good things.
So Lord, we come out of agreement with all of those things and we say that you are good
all the time, in Jesus name, amen.
So friends, I want to tell a story really quickly.
With my iPad being out and I had some notes for today, I wasn't really sure if I was going
to get to use them.
So we're going to do it the old fashioned way, we're just going to lean into the Holy
Spirit, which is the better way anyway, right?
But there wasn't a time in my life, it wasn't too long ago, there was a time in my life,
there wasn't, wasn't one, there was one, okay?
Sorry, I used the wrong particle, principle.
Whatever the thing is, past particle or I don't know, English was, English for dyslexics
is not an easy subject friends, just want to let you know that, but sometimes we're
suffering needlessly and that's what this story is about.
I had something going on in my life and I wasn't really sure what it was, it's some
health stuff going on.
And you guys know, if any of you have ever had any health stuff going on, the jury is
always out, right?
We never really know what is exactly happening, especially in this crazy world that we live
in where big money controls big medicine, not really sure what the real deal is most
of the time.
And so this is about 10 years ago.
ago, and I'm going through a lot of stress.
Can I tell you that most of your physical problems are probably just stress?
I just want to speak that word over you, especially you ladies, but also you
gentlemen, a lot of your physical problems will be rooted back into stress.
That's what it is.
You're like, but Jackie, it's super physical.
I understand because we are not just bodies.
We are not just bodies, friends.
You're not just a body.
That thing that you see in the mirror, that is not who you are.
That thing is not eternal.
And that is not who you are.
It is your packaging on this earth, but it is not who you are.
It is your car, so to speak, that you're driving.
The only car that you're going to get to drive in on this earth, it is going to
transport what your spirit, because that is what you are, but you're not just a
spirit.
Okay.
That's the eternal part of you.
The part that's going to get the new body in heaven, but you're also a soul.
You have a soul as well, but you are a spirit that lives in a body that
possesses a soul.
And guess what?
The things that happen in the spirit realm and also in the soul realm,
especially in the soul realm, they affect the body.
Your body is the slave.
If you want to think of it that way, it only does what the soul and the spirit
tell it to do.
And unfortunately, most of us are living after our souls and not our spirits,
including myself.
It's a hard thing not to do.
The soul wants what it wants.
You know how people always say the heart wants what it wants.
Well, that's what it's saying.
The soul wants what it wants.
But the thing is, is we shouldn't give the soul what it wants.
If it's not in alignment with what the spirit wants, we have to come into
alignment with the spirit life.
That's the best life.
The Bible says that living after the spirit is life and peace, but living
after the flesh, and by the way, that's flesh empowered by a broken soul, is
what, it's death, and we don't want to do that.
And it's not just death, like go bury you in the ground death.
It's death to your dreams.
It's death to your body, like, you know, living, not dying, but living.
There's some things, friends, that are worse than dying, and that's being in
perpetual pain in a life that you were chosen to live abundantly, full of joy,
overflowing, John 10, 10, living with chronic pain, living with chronic issues,
whether it's health or wealth, whether it's relational, you know, there's some
things that are worse than death, right?
And so it's important that we understand that our soul realm is driving
the car a lot instead of the spirit.
And that's that epicenter of your master control, right?
That's the epicenter of your life.
It's master control.
It's the mind, will, and emotions.
That's what the soul is.
In the Bible, we talk about it as a soul.
We talk about it as the heart.
We talk about it as the mind or the will.
All of those words are interchangeable and they all just mean your soul part.
When you see the word flesh, that's also what it's talking about.
And they followed after their flesh.
It's not talking about your body, it's talking about your soul.
Your body is the slave.
Remember, it's going to do whatever it's told to do.
So back to my story, I was in crazy internal torment over the things that were
happening, but oftentimes friends, the problem's not the problem.
And that was the case here.
I made it about whatever was happening in my body, but really it was about what
was happening in my soul.
I was in a lot of pain.
I was in a lot of pain emotionally.
I was in a lot of pain mentally.
And that had transferred over into being in a lot of pain physically.
Guys, I couldn't even get out of bed because I couldn't walk on my feet.
The bottom of my feet hurt so bad that I could not even walk on them.
I remember laying in bed and calling around, trying to find a doctor that I
could get in with that would help me figure out why I was in so much pain.
You know, whether they call it fibromyalgia, whether they call it some
other, some other kind of autoimmune situation, I was having what they call a
flare of whatever those things are.
By the way, no definitive diagnosis was ever given to me.
And the reason why is because the pain wasn't physical.
At least that's not where it was stemming from.
The pain was emotional.
The pain was mental.
The pain could even be spiritual a little bit.
I was going through some hard things, but I was still in a lot of pain.
I was still in a lot of pain.
things with my mother and with other things surrounding her and with unhealed trauma from
I was still in a lot of pain.
childhood.
And so I was running around, well, I wasn't running around because she just heard what
my feet were like, but my mind was running around.
Even if your body's not running around, your mind can be running around, right?
So I'm running around in circles in my mind trying to figure out how to save myself, right?
How to fix this?
How to save myself?
What am I going to do?
And tormented.
You guys, in fear, there's torment.
The Bible says perfect love casts out fear because fear contains torment.
Fear contains torment of what?
Of punishment, right?
And so I'm running around in my mind trying to figure it out, trying to fix it, obviously
not using my Jesus Cares board, for those of you that know what that is already.
And my husband says this to me, he says, Jackie, why are you suffering needlessly?
And I was like, wait, what?
And he's like, you're suffering.
He said, but why are you suffering needlessly?
What I had done and what we often do is I had run down all kinds of dark alleys in my
mind of what was going to happen next.
And on top of the physical torment, now I was in a mental torment.
In my mind, I had gone up to every crazy troll bridge and I was about to cross, right?
The trolls under, remember the story, the trolls were under the bridge.
I was at the mouth of every raging river.
I was at the cusp of falling off the cliff.
That's where I was.
I was wandering in dark alleys in my mind, imagining the worst case scenario.
Anyone else like that?
Anyone else ever lived that way?
Anybody?
And so what happens then is you're suffering.
You're suffering with all of those hypotheticals.
You're suffering needlessly.
So I just want to let you know, all of the crazy dark alleys, the troll bridges, the
raging rivers, the harrowing cliffs, I didn't fall off any of them.
I didn't drown in any of them.
I didn't get murdered in any of them.
You know, I am still here and none of the scenarios that I allowed to live rent-free
in my mind actually came to pass.
None of them.
So I want you to close your eyes right now at the beginning of Supernatural Saturday
And I want you to acknowledge any scenario, any train of thought, any hypothetical that
you have been even slightly entertaining about any situation in your life.
Any forever alone, never going to get married, whatever it is, it doesn't matter what it
is, is bringing you unnecessary torment.
You are suffering needlessly and it's time to come out of agreement with it.
Right now, be honest with yourself.
Be honest with God.
What is it?
Is it that you're going to get that disease that your parent had or your family had, your
sibling had, or that runs in your family and you're going to die of it too?
Or you're going to be sick with it as well?
Is it that that allows you a lot of run around?
Is it that you're never going to get out of debt?
Is it that you're never going to get out of pain, chronic pain, physical, mental, emotional,
that you're never going to get better from whatever chronic situation you've had going
on in your body, in your mind?
You guys, it might not be a raging fever in your life right now, but it comes and goes
possibly this thought, this tormentor.
It could be a low-grade fever right now.
It could be something that you don't think about every single day, but when you get stressed
out or when your defenses are low, this is where you go back to, whatever this thing
is.
Come on, let's think about it.
Wait for a second.
We're going to come out of agreement with that thing today because we don't want to
suffer needlessly anymore.
It doesn't want us to suffer needlessly anymore.
Guys, there's enough needful suffering in this life
that we never need to do unneedful suffering.
And when I say needful suffering,
is there will be times when you're stretched
and it'll be painful, okay?
Not with sickness or disease, mind you,
but just with circumstances,
just with change, with relationships.
Nothing's gonna stretch you more
than relationships are gonna stretch you.
You're gonna suffer, you are.
You're gonna suffer for Christ,
you're gonna suffer for being a Christian.
As this world gets darker,
you're gonna suffer more and more for that one.
Being boxed out of job promotions.
We think that suffering for being a Christian
just only includes being herded up into a corral
and executed like the Jews were,
like the missionaries in foreign countries
have been recently.
You know, most of us that have been Christians long enough
have heard the tales of the day that's coming
when we're all gonna have to either denounce Christ
or be beheaded, right?
All of those stories.
But friends, persecution for Christ
could simply look like
not having the allegiance of your family,
being a black sheep in your family
simply because you're a white sheep, so to speak.
You know, you're virtuously living,
you're not drinking like they are,
you're not doing what they do.
They think that you think that you're better than them
even though you don't think that.
They've ostracized you.
Possibly at work you feel ostracized
because you don't go out afterwards
and cavort with the rest of the folks.
Even though you do your job well,
you might never get the promotions because it's persecution.
You might feel like when you go certain places
and you try to fit in, you don't fit in,
maybe you feel like you're left out, bullied.
Oftentimes people don't even know you're a Christian,
but it's the spirit that you carry that people don't like.
Guys, the two players at the end of days,
the two spirits that will be the most rampant
are the Christian and the non-Christian.
Are the anti-Christ spirit,
and you guys, that spirit hates anything that is Christ.
And I know that we don't like to say this,
but we're gonna say it anyway.
The biggest proponent, the biggest allegiance,
ally of the anti-Christ spirit is religion.
That wants to make it all about us and our performance
and not about Christ or the finished work of Christ.
You're gonna see the anti-Christ spirit
first and foremost in religious sectors.
And I know that sounds crazy because we're saying,
oh, you're saying that in religion,
there's going to be anti-Christ, yes.
Anti-grace, anti-Christ.
It's gonna be all about performance.
It's gonna be all about legalism.
Even holiness is gonna be about you and what you can do,
not about Jesus.
And then the other spirit that is an end time player
is the Jezebel spirit.
And I know that we often have been taught
that that's something about some sort of bold and brash
and witchcrafty woman,
but that is really not what that is about.
That is not what that is about.
First of all, it's not gendered because it is a spirit
and it is a spirit of rebellion.
That is what it is.
And it is behind so much of the anarchy
that we see all around us.
So much is just a spirit of rebellion.
And that of course encompasses what we think of
when we say witchcraft, right?
The Bible says that that idolatry and witchcraft,
that those things are interchangeable, obviously,
but that rebellion is as witchcraft
and stubbornness is idolatry.
And so there's a lot of word searches that we can do there.
We could dig into that teaching.
We're not gonna do that today.
But what we're talking about is not suffering needlessly.
There's plenty of suffering that happens in this life,
but we shouldn't be suffering for no reason.
If we're gonna suffer, friends,
let's suffer for a good reason, shall we?
Because the Bible says that our sufferings
will be turned into glory, won't they?
That if we're willing to suffer,
that we can also be glorified.
And remember in that scripture, it talks about
if we are willing to accept Jesus's sufferings as our own,
meaning he died for you and also as you,
then you can also live in this life glorified with him.
A lot of people misread that.
read that scripture, they think it's saying something that it's not saying.
What it's saying is, it's not saying, well, if you're willing to suffer, then
you get to be glorified someday.
No, it's saying that he suffered for you and as you, and if you're willing to
come into agreement with that and accept that instead of out here suffering
needlessly yourself, then you can also be glorified with him when, now, not later.
Anybody else want that?
I do.
I think that you guys do as well.
So some of the ideas that came into my mind for Supernatural Saturday today is
kind of a grab bag is first of all, we're in a summer season.
All of us are in a summer season, unless maybe you're in Australia and then you
might be in a winter season, but we are in the summer season here in America and
in our surrounding nations, okay?
The UK, Canada, South America, we're all in a summer season.
And one of the things that happens in the summer season oftentimes to our
psyche is we just start to coast.
All right.
Let's just face it.
If you don't have your summer body by now, you ain't getting it.
That's what most people feel like, right?
That, that ship has sailed without you.
It's at the beginning of the year that people get really like dogmatic and
disciplined and like, I'm going to change my life.
This year is going to be like, unlike any other.
But then when June rolls around, if that hasn't happened, which often it hasn't,
and then we're just like, okay, well, you know, I don't always eat a hamburger
and a hot dog and a brat, but 4th of July, America, here we go.
Right.
I mean, summer ice cream every day.
Let's go.
I mean, most of us start to coast a little bit in our
disciplines in the summertime.
It's hot outside.
You know, we're hanging out.
We're looking for pleasure.
Right.
And I'm not going to take your summer away from you.
That's not what this call is about.
But the problem is, is that there were things that God promised to us for 2025.
I want you to raise your hand.
If you got, you had a word that God gave you over the year 2025, like what this
word, what, what this year was going to be about.
What was going to happen for you in 2025?
What could you accomplish in 2025?
All of you that did prophesy your year with us last year should
have lots of words about 2025.
And of course, we always do a session on supernatural Saturday about what is
your theme for the year that's coming at the end of the year.
We always do that.
Sometimes we do it at the crown of the year.
Rosh Hashanah.
I want you to go ahead and put that word, you know, whether it's whatever it is.
I want you to go ahead and put that word in the chat.
See redemption.
I see making room full circle was a word that I had for all of the single
nation at the beginning of 2025.
God said we would have full circle moments, upgrades, rebuilding,
completion, abundance, connection, hope.
Activation favorable conditions.
One person I saw just went by.
I couldn't see who they were, but it said mate by December commitment,
healing, decluttering intention.
Lots of people coming into agreement with that full circle word.
You guys, I've seen so many full circles.
Ooh, I've seen some full circles this year.
I mean, I'm not talking about for myself.
I'm talking about for other people.
I had one full circle moment this year, but I've seen so many love
story, full circle moments.
Just crazy stuff happening out here.
Look at all those words.
All right.
So this is what I want to tell you guys.
It's not too late.
It is not too late friends.
Whatever it was that God whispered into your heart and he said,
you could have it this year.
He said, this is your year.
How many of you felt like that?
Like God was saying, this is your year.
This is your year.
And it is, in fact, I'm going to break it to you slowly.
It's always been your year.
Every year is your year.
Every single year is your year for something.
Every year, every single time that that clock.
sets. Every time that that calendar page turns, it is a time for something. God is a God of times
and seasons. I'm going to bring a coach in, in these next six months in this program, to talk
to you about discerning your times and seasons, understanding your times and seasons. It's very
important to understand times and seasons. All right? A lot of times we want something to happen
that's just not quite ripe yet, but something else is ripe and we're allowing that thing to
rot on the vine while we're staring at this pot that's not boiling. And so it's really important
that we understand that God wants us to crown our year with goodness every single year. Every
single year, God wants to crown our year with goodness. He does. You guys know that that's what
Rosh Hashanah means? It means crown the year. We want to crown our year. There's a verse in Psalm
65 that says, it's verse 11, you crown the year with your goodness and your paths drip with
abundance. Don't we want to put our feet on those paths that are dripping with abundance?
I know that I want to. And friends, I just want to let you guys know that,
you know, we're halfway through the year. June 2nd was the half mark of 2025.
And for those of you that are into sports, I love sports. And we all know that regardless of how
a game is going, when that team hits the locker room at halftime, when they come back out,
anything is possible. When they come back out of that locker room, because what happened in there?
They got refocused, didn't they? They got refocused in that locker room. They got realigned in that
locker room. That's what happened to them. Their coach came alongside them and said,
hey, you're better than this. This is not who you are. I see you out there and, you know,
some of you are doing your best, but the others of you, you know, you're off your game. You don't
got your head in the game. You forgot who you were. You know, you're the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Sorry, friends. You know, I had to say that. You have to refocus. You have to realign
what did God tell you? And I want to let you guys know that
one of the things that I came to say today on Supernatural Saturday is it's not over yet.
It's just halftime. It is. We're only halfway through the year.
Whatever's happened in your life, the first half of this year, that scoreboard does not
define your story, but your response to this message could. So the first half of the year
for me has been kind of disappointing. I'm just going to be honest with you.
This is not just my 2025. This is also supposed to be my jubilee. I'm 50 years old. I turned 50
in January. The very beginning of this year started my 50th year on earth.
And I expected it to be a lot more exciting, if I'm being honest.
I did. So your first half of the year might have been slow as well.
Might be disappointing. Might be chaotic. Or maybe it's been great. You're like,
man, the first half of this year has been amazing. I hope I can sustain it. That's awesome.
But I believe that God is inviting us to finish stronger than we started, even if you started
well. Even if you started well and this year has been amazing, I believe you can finish stronger.
Because halftime is over. June 2nd has passed. It's time for us to get back out on the field.
Back in alignment with what God has for us. I want to tell you guys, it's a personal
antidote here. I had a whole different plan for my summer. I was supposed to be with my
spiritual community out in Southern California for the whole entire month of June. I was supposed to
be out there. I was supposed to be in Portugal in a week. I was supposed to be in Europe for
two weeks. A week from now, I was supposed to be in Portugal for two weeks.
I was supposed to host a retreat, which I did. I was supposed to have some opportunities to
do a few things, which I didn't. But what happened was this. I set off on my plan.
And two Supernatural Saturdays ago, I talked about you have to make a plan
if you want God to order your steps. God doesn't just order our steps. That's what most people
want. Well, God, just tell me what to do. Just tell me what to do, Lord. Here I am. Send me,
send me. We use that Isaiah scripture as a crutch. The Proverbs, which is the book of wisdom,
tells us in chapter 16, a man or a woman plans their course, but the Lord is the one that directs
their steps.
have to plan your course. You have to program the GPS. God can reroute you. He can course
correct you, but you have to get on a course. And so I made my plans, but I'm going to be
honest with you guys and be transparent with you. I was out in Southern California with
my spiritual community and I love my spiritual community and I long to be with them. I feel
like Paul writing a letter. I long to be with you. I don't know how much longer it's going
to be, but I long to be with you. We long to be with the people of faith, right? The
people with faith that we've locked arms with. We long to be with them. And I just want to
say this here. If you don't have a Christian community, a spiritual community like that,
if you dread going to church on Sunday, you're at the wrong church. You should be so excited
to see those people because Sunday is not about getting saved every week. That's not
why you go to spiritual community. You go to spiritual community for community. The
book of Acts, okay? It's a 2-24 experience. Acts 2-24. We want to gather together and
let God add to us from the Holy Spirit as far as new people. You want to have a vibrant
spiritual community that's alive, that's thriving, where people are changing and they're growing
and they're becoming the best versions of themselves, where they do life together. All
of you should have a 3 a.m. phone call that you can make if you're in crisis to someone
who is going to speak the words of life, who's going to show up in person, who's going to
lock arms with you to put to flight 10,000. The darkness is going to flee. Your body's
going to be healed. If you don't have those people in your life, then you are with the
wrong people. You should be so excited to see your family every single week, even if
it's not on Sundays, whatever day your spiritual community gathers. That is what my spiritual
community is like in the OC. I couldn't wait to spend the summer with them. When I was
there last year, at the very end of the year, right after Rosh Hashanah, I was there in
the fall. I was in a place called Corona Del Mar, and that means crown of the sea. I was
staying there in Airbnb because I was there for an event with my spiritual community. I said,
God, I really want to be here. My heart is here. My husband felt the same. We have all grown
children. All of our children are adults. They're all married except for one, and he's about to get
married. They all live on their own. They don't live with us. I'm saying that to say that we
fulfilled our responsibilities as far as that assignment is over, and now we have an open door
to new assignments. Could we move from Austin? Could we move to Southern California? I was
praying about it while I was there. I heard the Lord say, I said, God, I want to spend some
extended time here, longer than just a weekend or just four or five days. I want to spend some
extended time here so that I can really feel your heart and know whether or not we could move here.
Right? God spoke to me, and he said, okay, Jackie. He said, crown the year. I knew what he meant by
that. I'm a Jewish feast girl. I do celebrate the feast, most of them. I do especially celebrate the
Jewish New Year. I track my life and my calendar according to the Hebrew calendar, which starts in
September, October, starts in the fall. Okay. And that is Rosh Hashanah. And so Rosh Hashanah actually
means crown the year for those of you that don't know that, but you know who God knows, knows that?
Me. And so when he spoke to me and said, okay, Jackie, crown the year, he knew that I knew that he
meant fall. But did I listen, friends? No, I didn't. And you know why I didn't? Because I wanted to be there in the
summertime when all the fun is happening. That's when I wanted to be there. So you know what I did? I made my
plan. And I thought that my plan was actually pretty supernatural because it was coming together really
easily. It's really expensive to stay in Southern California, an Airbnb, a hotel, wherever. But this girl, Katie, was
going to let me watch her house and her dogs. And I said yes to watching her house and her dogs for over a month, the
entire month of June into July. And then one week later, I was going to go with my spiritual community to Portugal for
two weeks. So I was going to spend a whole whopping six weeks with these people that I love so much. Right? Now,
friends, I did feel a little bit torn because we just opened a venue here in Austin, Texas called The Wheelhouse. There's
things that need to be finished on that. You know,
My kids want to have fun in the summer.
They're all adults, they live here,
but they are a fun group of people.
And there were just other things
that I was going to have to sacrifice,
but there's always sacrifices
to do the things that you want to do.
You always have to give up good for better or best.
So I was okay with all that.
Of course, I did ignore the fact that God said,
crown the year, and I made these plans.
So I get out in Southern California at the beginning of June
and I'm living my best OC life.
The weather out there, y'all, is perfect, friends, okay?
It's always sunny in Southern California
and it was a good day, a good day every day.
And so I'm doing it, I'm hanging with my people,
David, of course, as well.
And David feels the exact same way.
We're on the same page with all this stuff.
And just so you know, when you do get married,
if you have a very enthusiastic partner
that just is able to sell everything like me,
you gotta make sure that you're both really hearing from God
because I'm a good salesman for things that I want to do.
Like, hey, wouldn't it be fun?
And I'm an Enneagram seven, if you guys know what that is.
And I just like, I'm the enthusiast
and I really just like to have a good time.
So we're out there and, well, first of all,
we show up to the house that we're watching
and we've never been to this house before, right?
This person is kind of a virtually a stranger
that we're gonna be watching the house for.
And they have two dogs and how hard can it be?
I mean, I like dogs, you like dogs, right?
Dogs are good, but stinky dogs aren't good.
Dogs with skin issues are not good.
I mean, the house continuously smelled like feet
or bacon or something, I'm not really sure.
And also in the Southern California region,
a lot of houses do not have air conditioning
and they don't have air conditioning
because I guess they don't think they need it
because the sea air possibly.
But friends, the ocean was miles away.
There was no sea air and it was stuffy and hot
and only getting hotter in that house.
And you know what happens with dog smells
when dog smells get heated up, they get even worse.
And so this situation was not fun.
It was completely no bueno.
And I was, of course, and also I have menopause,
so let's add that to the pot.
And then I'm sleeping hot at nighttime already.
And now I'm sleeping,
because I sleep here in Austin with my AC in my room.
I have a split in my bedroom set to 66 degrees, friends,
on full blast, okay?
When I was first started menopause,
gentlemen, sorry if this is too much information,
but you might as well get ready for it
because you're gonna be married to a woman with a womb.
And that womb, when it decides to close up shop,
is gonna do weird things to her body, all right?
And so that AC at certain times during this process
has been all the way down to like 60 degrees.
And my husband's like sleeping with a parka on, right?
It's like sleeping with a full ski gear on
because it's so cold.
So match that with me going to stay
at this stinky dog house with,
you know, and everyone has different levels of cleanliness,
and these people did not match my level of cleanliness, okay?
I'm not talking about my bedroom,
which is always like the wreck of the Hespera,
but the rest of my house,
I have a certain level of cleanliness that I expect,
and this house was not cutting it.
All right, so all of that together,
I was kind of miserable,
but I still had my friends,
and I was still gonna have fun, right?
No, because God spoke to me and he said,
hey, what are you doing here?
Go back home to Austin.
There's stuff that needs to get done in Austin.
This summer is about discipline, Jackie.
It's not about fun.
This summer is about getting some stuff done
so that you can crown the year,
so that when fall comes, you can run.
You guys, the year is the year.
God promised you the year.
He promised you breakthrough in the year.
He promised you whatever he promised you
that the theme of this year would be,
but you have to remember that the year itself has seasons.
The year isn't a season.
It has seasons, doesn't it?
So you guys, I had to eat a lot of crow.
I had to contact this girl
that I was watching the house for, this woman.
Her and her family were in China, okay?
They weren't just right down the street.
They could just come home and say, oh, no big deal.
They were in another country.
They were in a country far, far away.
But she had massive grace for me
because you guys, even when you zig instead of zig.
bag, God has grace for you.
He does.
And so they were able to get a family member that lived in the neighborhood.
They were able to get, you know, replacement for us and we were able to come back to Austin.
So now we're back in Austin and once again, if you make a plan and I made a plan and you
need to know this, even if it's a bad plan, God will of course correct you.
He will order your steps if you allow him to.
I could have stuck it out there.
I could have ignored the promptings of Holy Spirit, but I didn't.
You know why?
Because Holy Spirit is the coach in the locker room at halftime.
Holy Spirit is the coach in the locker room at halftime telling us, Hey, it doesn't have
to end this way.
It doesn't have to be this way.
You can have the things that you believe you can have, but you're going to have to get
refocused and you have to get realigned.
So when I got back to Austin, God began to speak to me about what this summer is going
to look like.
And this summer is going to look like some recalibration.
I've been having some issues with my health because of hormone loss and different things.
And I got blood tests done.
I was going to put that off until the fall, friends, because I was going to be gone.
But now I did it and the results are back.
And guess what?
They're not great, but this ship can get turned around.
It's not too late.
And I want to speak that and release that over all of you.
Not just this year can be turned around, but your ship, your body, your life can be turned
around.
It's not too late.
Do you guys know where that saying comes from?
We say that a lot.
Got to turn this ship around.
You know, it comes from the actual story of a ship.
There was a ship.
It was a submarine.
I don't remember the name of it, but this submarine was considered the most disordered
submarine in history, had the lowest marks of any submarine.
And there was a captain that came upon that submarine and decided that he was going to
put the power instead of having just a bunch of, you know, big eyes and little U's and
the little U's are not doing their job.
That's why the submarine is just messed up and it's not what it's supposed to be.
And it's missing all the marks.
He decided to put control back into the hands of the people that were the followers and
make them leaders.
And that's what God wants you to do.
That's what God wants to do to you.
He wants you to understand that you're not just waiting for God to show up.
No one's coming to save you, friends.
You're not.
You cannot outsource your life to heaven.
Someone please hear what I'm saying right now.
You cannot outsource your life to heaven and just say, oh, well, God will do it.
He'll take care of it.
He'll fix it.
You can't outsource.
You have to take accountability.
You have to take authority.
You have to.
And when you start to take accountability, when you start to take authority, that is
when you will feel the support from heaven.
You're like, well, what if I do it wrong?
Yeah.
What if you do it wrong?
God can't course correct anything that's not moving.
Doing it wrong, friends, is not the fear.
It's not doing it at all.
You got to do it.
And so that's what this, that's what this guy did.
I don't know what rank he was, but he was in control of the sub and he gave the power
back to the guys on the sub.
And guess what?
It ended up being the best sub in history.
God is trying to give you your power.
It's always been yours, but he wants you to take it.
He wants you to take it.
He wants you to grab a hold of it.
He wants you to stop praying religious prayers that outsource your free will and your power
to heaven.
Ephesians 3 20 is a great scripture.
I know we all quote it all the time, but we don't quote it with understanding.
It says to him who's able to do who's him, him, God, to the power of his spirit, to him
who's able to do what exceedingly abundantly above what all that we ask for things according
to what the power that works in us, the power that works in us and through us.
Take your power friends.
The year's only half over six months is way more than enough time with you fully partnered.
Not just waiting for something to happen to you.
Not just for waiting for God to make good on his word and promises.
Not just waiting.
in some waiting room somewhere, you fully activated, fully taking action, even if it's
imperfect action.
When you make that plan and when you activate and execute that plan, God has something to
work with and trust me, he will.
He will.
Faith without what is dead works.
Faith without action, belief without action isn't really belief.
If you believe, you will take action.
If you believe you can have whatever it is that God spoke over this year for the theme
of your life, you will take action.
You guys, I don't feel bad about going out to the OC.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't do, I didn't follow the instructions of the Lord.
I didn't, but God worked it out to my good and I learned a powerful lesson because I'm
a throw it against the wall and see if it sticks kind of girl.
I don't let no moss grows on me, friends.
I am not a, I'm not a stagnant rock in a river.
And yes, I get in a lot of trouble because of that.
But you know what?
It's usually pretty fun trouble.
It is.
I would way more, way, way, way, way more, uh, prefer to apologize than ask for permission.
Okay.
And I'm not talking about permission to God.
I mean, permission to be alive on the earth.
Permission to go after the dreams of my heart.
I don't need permission from anyone.
My life is all the evidence that I need, that I was meant to be here alive and thriving.
And so God has already given me pre-approval.
I believe that with all my heart and yes, I zig instead of zag sometimes I go left instead
of right.
But God is always faithful to course correct because God loves my heart.
He's told me that so many times, I love your heart, Jackie.
He's like, you always have the right heart.
You don't always do the right things, but you always have the right heart.
And I can work with that.
And I believe that that's true of you as well.
So let's get going.
Halftime is here.
It's time for us to have acceleration.
So the divine reset for acceleration, I believe is where we are right now.
Because you guys, I want you to know something.
God does redeem time.
He does.
He's told us so many times in scripture that he redeems time, that he can bend time.
My friend Dano has a book called Bending Time.
You know, God can bend time.
He controls it.
He can do whatever he wants because you know, he lives outside of it, right?
Heaven's outside of time.
We're the only ones that are constrained by anything called time.
And so God can redeem time, but we have to give him something to work with.
He can order our steps, but only if we're stepping, we're not stepping.
A lot of times we feel like we're being punished because we did something that God didn't want
us to do.
No, friends, unless you're out there, you know, living in sin and hurting others and
hurting yourself.
The only kind of correction that God's going to have for you is course correction.
He's not punishing you.
He's positioning you.
But only if you stop outsourcing your breakthrough to him and understand that it's by the power
that works throughout you and you have to get in motion, you have to get in motion.
Here's some scriptures, Proverbs 16, nine, a man plans his course, but the Lord directs
his steps.
We've already said that one.
Joel 2, 25, I will restore the years that the locusts have eaten.
Do you know that the Bible says, I will restore the years that the locusts have eaten.
You guys, that's about time.
That scripture is about time, not just fruit.
God can make you fruitful, sure, but he wants to restore the things that have happened to
you.
He wants to give you restoration and restitution.
A lot of you go ahead and raise your hand.
You feel like you wasted your life on something, whether it was a marriage or a relationship
or a job or something, you feel like you can't get those years back.
You wasted your life.
You guys, time is the only unrenewable resource is what we're told.
Time is an unrenewable resource.
I submit to you that with God, it can be a renewable resource.
I believe he can renew your time, money.
We can make that again, but time we're always told we can't get.
Time is something we're always told that we can't get back.
And I disagree.
The Bible says we can get it back.
He's not going to just restore the crops, the things that the locusts have eaten.
He's going to restore the time.
He's going to give you back the time.
You're like, well, Jackie, what does that mean?
Well, first of all, his word says that he can restore our youth like the Eagles, right?
People quote that, but they don't expect it.
He can give back your vitality.
Vitality that you had when you were a younger person, maybe some of you never even had that
vitality, but he wants to give you back your vitality, but it doesn't just say that, right?
I believe that God wants to give us back the things that we would have been had those other
things never happened.
And then you're still like, well, what can I do, Jackie, I'm 55 years old.
I wanted to go to school and be a lawyer and now it would take eight years and by that
time I'll be 60 something.
Well, first of all, if you really want to do that and that is the desire of your heart,
then you better do it and you better stop worrying about how old you're going to be
when you graduate.
If that truly is a desire that burns in your heart, then you better do it because the time
is going to go by anyway.
The time is going to go by anyway, but this is what I know about God redeeming time is
that there's usually a natural timeline of how long it takes to do something and I'm
not talking about college educations.
There's some things maybe we can't circumvent, but maybe we can.
I don't know.
But there's other things that we expect to take a certain amount of time and the way
that God restores our years, I believe is that if you get into alignment with him and
you begin to take full responsibility and begin to execute what you need to do instead
of outsourcing it to heaven, God can cause that time to be accelerated.
And what normally would have taken two years might take two months.
What could have taken 10 years might take 10 weeks.
You don't know.
For those of you that are like, well, I need to go back to school to do this and I know
that that's going to take this amount of time.
Well, fine.
And if it does, cool.
But God can give you connections so that you can hit the ground running and you can be
10 years ahead in that career, 20 years ahead in that career.
By the time you graduate, instead of doing all the things that people normally do when
they graduate college, they have to bum around for a few years.
They got to take their knocks.
They got to build their resume.
Maybe you just start at the top.
That happened to me.
God called me into television and I started at the bottom.
I started as an intern at a TV network.
And within a year I was the general manager of that same network.
Did you hear what I said?
I had the top position in that network within one year of starting my internship.
You know why?
Because God anointed me for that job and they recognized it.
The president of that company said, Jackie, the only job that I see fit to give you is
my job.
What also might happen is you might find a college somewhere that gives life credit.
There's colleges out there that give life credits.
You've been working in a certain field for many years.
You don't have a degree in it.
They'll give you credit for the time that you worked in that field.
There's accelerated programs.
I know someone who's getting their bachelor's in a year.
Now you're going to have to put your nose to the grindstone.
You're going to have to live, sleep, eat that stuff.
But hey, if you want it, you can have it.
I had no intention of talking about going back to school, but that's definitely for
more than one someone.
Okay.
Haggai 2.9, God says, the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former.
And you know, friends, it's raining here in Austin, Texas, and it has been raining.
It's very unseasonal.
We've been having summer storms and we don't usually have any rain at all after springtime
until winter.
We usually have a drought for the entire summer, nine months of no rain, and it's been raining
nonstop and not just light sprinkles, but gully washers.
And you know what gully washers do?
That's what my grandpa would say, a gully washer.
Because gully washers come and they expose what's already rotting.
Everything in my backyard, which is full of trees, looks nice and green and pretty because
it's summertime, but there are branches that are no longer good.
They're hollowed out with disease.
They're rotting, but I can't tell from the naked eye.
But you know what will expose them?
The rain, the wind.
It will expose those rotting things and it will break them off because they need to go.
You know why they need to go?
Because pruning needs to happen in order for you to grow bigger and more beautiful.
For your life to be bigger and more beautiful, pruning has to occur.
So I came back to Austin in obedience to the Lord because this summer for me is about discipline.
This summer for me is about getting ready and getting trained for a different season
of time, for the fall season.
God already told me the fall season was going to be the season for me in 2025, but I wasn't
listening.
And so now I have to catch up, but God's accelerating me.
He's accelerating my progress of catching up and getting some things in order, getting
some things done, getting some things sewn up, getting some things.
pruned off because I'm in obedience.
Once we begin to take the instruction of the Lord and we begin to put our power
behind that and with that and partner with God, then we begin to see momentum.
It's a mindset shift friends, but it can't just be a mindset shift because
when your mind shifts, your body should shift as well.
I've seen a lot of pro games and not pro games, college games.
I've seen a lot of sporting events that look pretty bleak in the first half, but
when that team came out from the locker room, and I think that's why I love
sports because anything is possible.
When that team came out from the locker room, they were a different team.
They had a different mindset.
They had a different objective.
They were working together.
They were partnering like they weren't before and they won,
sometimes against all odds.
I think you guys can remember games like that.
If you're a sports watcher against all odds, they came out different and
there was a different outcome.
It's time friends, it's halftime right now.
Halftime is over.
The buzzer has sounded.
We're going back out onto the field.
The second half of this year can be the winning half.
It really can.
In last year's single, we are going to do a reset for the next six months.
I'm going to bring to you mentors every single month that are going to help you
reset certain areas of your life.
They're going to help encourage you in ways that you need to be encouraged in
order to finish this year strong, but you need to make a plan.
David asked you a couple Sunday nights ago, if you did not see that, it was two
Sunday nights ago, go listen to it.
It's recorded.
It's in your archives, in your replays, in the app.
If you're in the program, for those of you that are in light, it's time to upgrade.
If you're in last year's single light, it's time to upgrade.
But it just says, what do you want?
You have to decide what do you want?
Partner with God on the desires of your heart, decide what you want, and then make
a plan to achieve that thing before this year is over with.
And I promise you, if you make a plan and you begin to execute that plan,
write the vision, make it plain, baby.
If you begin to execute that plan, you will succeed before this year is done.
You will succeed.
And for those of you that are going to jump all the way into this kind of
theme, like a reset, I'm going to be coaching in another reset as well.
We will be doing it here in last year's single, but if you want to be in a
program that's only about that, you can find that link in your resource tab.
If you're in the program here, there is a link that starts Monday.
If you want to jump into that group of people that are going
after a six month reset as well.
But I will be a coach over there in that program, but I will bring you some
coaches and I will be a coach here.
And just so you know, besides our single spotlights and besides our, you know,
regular scheduled broadcasts that we do, love seeds and all the things that we do
here already for your love lives, we'll continue all that.
But in addition to that, I really do believe that God wants to see
you thrive in the year 2025.
Oopsie.
I didn't even mean to rhyme that, but here we are.
Holy spirit.
Holy spirit is a poet and he doesn't know it.
So here we are, and we are going to go after these things, but
friends, I can't do it for you.
I can hype you up.
I can activate you.
All right.
I can supernaturally shift you, but I cannot put your car in gear.
Only you can do that.
This year is going to end one way or another.
It's going to be over with, but it can end with you being victorious and you
having the promises that God made you because God's not lying.
We already know that, but sometimes we're not trying.
Look at all the rhymes.
Good Lord.
All right.
Praise the Lord.
Father, I thank you for your people.
I thank you for this time.
I thank you, Lord, that all of us have been equipped.
All of us have been called and now it's time for us to execute.
Give us the grace to do it in Jesus name.
Amen.
Love y'all.
See you soon.
