All right, everyone, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
If you are new here, you're in for a treat.
This is my favorite session of the week.
This is the only session that I usually lead during the week, and this is what I call your
current prophetic reality.
Supernatural Saturday is all about us leaning into what is God saying, what is God doing
in our own lives, in our lives corporately, as a community, as a movement, and it is the
most important thing that we could know.
What is God doing?
What instructions is he giving?
Where is he guiding us?
What is he showing us?
Where is he growing us?
And that is what we do on Supernatural Saturdays.
And so I have a treat for us today.
We're going to do a lot of activations.
Everyone ready for some activations?
Do we love activations?
At least we're not in the room together, right?
I was in a very uncomfortable room yesterday.
I have come up to Dallas to be part of a mastermind.
And you know, in these mastermind groups, a lot of times what happens is they try to
do icebreakers to get you out of your comfort zone.
That forced vulnerability, right?
Isn't that what they do?
But they had the weirdest one that I've ever experienced.
I've never experienced one like this.
They wanted you to go around in a room full of strangers, and they wanted you to try to
get to everybody if you could.
I'd say there's probably about 60-ish people at this event.
And they want you to look.
You haven't met these people, okay?
They want you to look right in their eyes, and they want you to say one of two things.
They want you to say, I trust you or I don't trust you.
Two complete stranger friends.
And they don't want you to introduce yourself or shake hands or tell each other your names.
Just go around, look them right in the eyes.
I trust you or I don't trust you.
Obviously I told every single person I trust them, because why would I distrust a complete
stranger?
Now, being a prophetic person, did I pick up some sketchiness about some people?
Sure.
But I'm not handing you my credit cards, so I have no reason not to trust you.
But it was really weird when at least five people, I think it was around five people
in that room of 60, told me that they didn't trust me.
Someone looking you in the eyes and telling you, for no reason, you've not done them any
harm, that they don't trust you, really has a tendency to make you not like that person.
So later in the day, we were assigned lunch groups, you know, you have to, they pick for
you the people that you're going to go to lunch with.
Sure enough, one of the people that didn't trust me was in my lunch group.
And so obviously, it's like Abraham Lincoln said, I don't like that person, I must get
to know them better.
And so after having lunch, hopefully that person's estimation of me has shifted.
But also one of the things that I had to come to terms with during that exercise is that
I don't like to not be trusted.
I'm a justice minded woman.
I like justice.
And if I haven't done you wrong, then you have no reason not to trust me.
The thing is, is that we don't trust other people based on who they are today, or based
on even really who they are.
A lot of times we trust people or don't trust people based on what they represent to us.
Some people don't trust tall people.
I'm tall.
Some people don't trust men, they don't trust women.
Some people don't trust guys named Brad, right, or George.
Some people don't trust blondes, brunettes, or older women or younger men.
And I want you to really think about that really quickly.
Like I said, we have a lot of activations today.
God wants to upgrade us.
Guys, we're in a season of upgrade.
We're doing this halftime shift.
I'm going to be speaking on the 17th live in our community, last year single community.
So if you're in phase three, if you're in the last year single community, we're actually
going to change that name to last year single VIPs.
If you're in that community, if you've made it to that portion of the program, I'm going
to be talking about how we can make the rest of 2025 the best of 2025, how we can accomplish
some things this year, and we'll have something to show for this year at the end.
So lots of activations.
In order to be upgraded, we have to be willing to look at what we've been ignoring or maybe
what we haven't been able to see.
So think about right now, how easy is it for you to trust other people?
And friends, I'm not talking about trusting them with your passwords, keys to your car.
are, okay, I'm talking about trusting them,
those smaller micro units of trust
that we have to be able to extend to someone
in order to build relationships.
There's a certain amount of trust that has to be given
to someone at the very beginning of relationship,
whether it's community, whether it's friendship,
whether it's a date that we hope to turn into more,
there's a certain amount of trust that has to be extended.
Now, the rest of the trust has to be experiential,
means we have to have experience with this person
which builds trust.
I don't wanna use the word earns trust,
but we have to have experiences that build more trust,
right?
But there's a certain amount of trust
that has to just be given immediately
if we hope to have rapport or connection.
And I want you to think about what are the obstacles for you
in even being able to give that.
Some of you give it very easily.
And honestly, some of you give it over and over
when it shouldn't be given.
Hey, you trust and you trust and you trust
and you trust and you trust,
even though someone has shown you that they're not trustworthy
and then some of you, you withhold it.
You're the opposite side of the spectrum.
You don't give it,
it's very difficult for you to even give the basics trust.
And then some of you are kind of in the middle.
You'll give it,
but there are some criteria in which to give it.
So I want you to think about that for a second.
If you need to close your eyes,
if you need to really ask Holy Spirit to show you,
am I a trusting person?
Am I an over trusting person?
Am I kind of a middle of the road trusting person?
And I want you to put it in the chat.
Are you over trusting?
Are you not trusting?
Or are you balanced trusting?
So put over balanced or non in the chat right now
so we can see.
And you guys, there's no shame in your game.
You must be honest.
Some of you are admitting, I don't trust anyone.
I'm very, very selective.
Some of you are saying,
hey, I'm just kind of all over the place.
Sometimes I trust, sometimes I don't.
A lot of you are saying I'm over trusting.
And friends, I just want to let you know,
when you're over trusting,
you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Once again, there's a certain amount of trust
that needs to be extended,
but no more or no less than that.
And when we give more than that,
and we continue to give even though we see
that this person can't handle it,
they're not trustworthy,
that this person can't handle it,
they're not trustworthy,
all we're doing is setting ourselves up for failure.
But what happens there
is we want to believe the best in people.
We have this gift from God where we see the best in people.
We see what they could be.
But friends, just because they could be that
doesn't mean they are that.
And no amount of you wishing that they would be
their ideal self is gonna make them their ideal self.
And you trusting that more and more and more and more
and getting hurt more and more and more
is not going to make them step into their best self,
just gonna hurt you.
And so you have the gift to see the best in people,
to see the golden people.
You also have to see what people,
see who people are showing you they are currently.
Because gifts when they're overextended become weaknesses.
Right?
And so that's a beautiful gift to have,
to be super trusting,
to see people as their ideal selves.
But if they're showing you that that's not who they are
by their behavior and their choices,
then you have to put up boundaries.
Otherwise, you're going to let that gift be overextended
to become a weakness that's gonna hurt you.
Amen?
All right, so that's just something to chew on.
That's not the main topic of today's Supernatural Saturday.
It's just a really quick icebreaker,
something that happened to me this weekend
that I wanted to share with you.
All right, so here is the main topic.
I want all of you to understand that every one of us
without exception are pretenders.
about this in my book, The Heart Work.
We're all pretending.
In some area of our lives, we are pretending.
We might be faking it till we making it.
We realize we're pretending,
but we're just trying to be it until we see it.
But in other areas of our lives,
we have come into a place
of eternal sunshine of a spotless mind.
We no longer really know that we're lying to ourselves
and everybody else.
We have forgotten that we're pretending
because we just play this role so well.
We have pushed down clarity.
And I wanna address that today,
because if we want to end 2025
the way that God wants us to end 2025,
with some of the things that we've been praying for in hand,
we are going to have to address some of these counterfeits
in ourselves, some of these pretending places in ourselves.
So today I'm hoping for revelation
so that we can take accountability and responsibility
and then realign.
So let's pray into that.
Father God, we just thank you, Lord.
We thank you that you've sent us a spirit of truth,
Holy Spirit, that leads us into all truth,
that leads us into the words of Jesus that say,
if you continue in my word, you will know the truth
and the truth will make you free.
When we were children, we were afraid of the dark,
but now as adults, we're often afraid of the light.
And I pray God that you would shine that beautiful light
on the darkest places of our heart,
in places where we're so wounded and hurting,
in places that are hardened,
in places where we're putting up fronts,
where we're pretending that things that don't bother us,
where we're pretending that we don't know things
that we know.
Just asking for that beautiful, gentle light
to rise on those places so that we can see.
And when we see, help us to partner with you
for complete revealing for healing in Jesus' name, amen.
All right, so here is the question for today.
What is one thing I'm pretending not to know?
You can write it on your paper, you can look at it,
you can read it over and over again.
What is one thing that I'm pretending not to know?
What's one thing?
Because friends, God can't deliver us from something
that we're still committed to believing, right?
If it's a lie.
So today's Supernatural Saturday
is not about new information.
Not gonna give you any new information.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna take a closer look.
We're gonna face the truth that we've all been avoiding
in our own hearts.
Because there's a difference between not knowing
and pretending not to know, right?
There's a big difference between those two things.
Not knowing, we're kind of innocent.
We're innocent when we don't know.
But when we do know and we are pretending not to know
or we're avoiding knowing, then that's keeping us stuck.
That is keeping us stuck.
There's a scripture in James 4.17.
And it just says, whoever knows the right thing to do
and fails to do it for him, it is sin.
Guys, there's sin.
Let's not be afraid of the word sin.
Sin is not the big bad things like murder and adultery.
Yeah, there are those sins,
but there's also just the sin of complacency.
There's a sin of fear.
Letting your life be controlled by fear
is just living in sin.
Because sin is not partaking of God's solutions
and trying to do things our own way.
That is really what it is.
It's not doing things God's way.
That's how we get into sin.
So for all of us that are saying,
hey, you know, we're not sinners saved by grace.
Yeah, we are.
We are.
That was the whole purpose of the law
is to show us that we're all sinners.
I think the Jews have racked up 626 precepts.
That's all of the rules that they have added
to the original law of things that they have to do
in order to be sinless.
Yikes, friends.
I don't wanna wake up every day
and try to figure out how to accomplish 626 things
or how to not do 626 things.
And that's why I love the finished work of the cross.
Jesus died for us and as us,
he is making a way for us to live righteously through him.
But we have to turn away from the way that we do things.
Our flesh wants to hide, doesn't it?
Our flesh wants to do things the easy way.
Our flesh wants to pretend that we don't know what we know.
So, for whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for them it becomes sin.
And what's the word repentance means?
It just means turning from your way and turning towards God's way.
That's all it means.
All right, so let's define pretending not to know for everybody.
That's kind of like the spiritual version of selective blindness.
So I talked in a previous Supernatural Saturday about something called cognitive dissonance.
And that's when you're trying to hold two opposing thoughts at the same time.
That's what the book of James talks about as being double-minded.
The book of James talks about when we ask God for something, if we believe we'll receive
it, we'll have it.
But if we don't believe, we won't receive.
Why?
Because you can't hold opposing thoughts at the same time.
Can't be double-minded.
We can't receive if we're double-minded.
So that's all that cognitive dissonance means.
So a lot of times, friends, we go around and we say that we know something, but our habits
tell a different story.
Our behavior tells a different story.
And you want to know why?
Because this is why positive mental attitude doesn't work.
This is why faking it till you make it doesn't work.
This is why you will be whatever your heart believes.
I talk about that as the biblical law of attraction in the book of Proverbs.
It just says that what you believe in your heart, not your head, you will become.
And what you become, you will attract.
You'll attract it by your action.
That's what will happen because behavior follows identity, not the other way around.
This is why New Year's resolutions don't work because the behavior that you're trying to
fix is rooted in some lie that you either know you believe or don't know you believe.
And if you ever really want to change the fruit, you got to get at the root.
Amen.
Otherwise, you're just going to continue to get negative fruit.
You might not get exactly the same negative fruit, but I have seen people like, for instance,
stop drinking, but some other life controlling behavior will pop up because drinking was
never the problem.
It was the fruit of the problem.
People will stop overeating, but then they'll have some other life controlling habit, some
other negative situation that they're entangled with.
When I was a kid, people would call my grandpa a dry drunk, and I didn't know what that meant
until I became a little bit older.
What it means is that someone who doesn't drink, but all the reasons why they drank
are still there, right?
They were self-medicating things, and now they're not self-medicating them, but those
things still exist.
So friends, Holy Spirit is here with us to lead us into truth that we may or may not
already know because it's time for us to take action.
And can I tell you something about belief?
It requires action.
I hope on today's Supernatural Saturday, some of you are going to come face to face with
that one thing that you're pretending not to know, and you're going to feel the winds
of heaven at your back to actually finally take action on it.
The reason why you're pretending not to know it is because if you believe it, you know
that you'll have to take action on it.
I'm going to say something very vulnerable to all of you because I want you to show up
on this call with vulnerability today, but when I was a child, I told my mom when I was
about 10 years old that my grandfather was sexually abusing me.
I finally told her.
It had been going on for years, and I kind of thought my mom knew, but I told her, and
after I told her, nothing shifted, nothing changed, and pretty soon, a little while later,
she sent me away to live in a girl's home.
Now I kind of see that now as an adult.
I see that as like little baby Moses being put in the bull rushes and sent down the river
to safety, getting me out of that environment because she would continue to
entertain that man and have that man around every day at the house and every day at the kitchen
table and at the dinner table until he passed away when I was I think like 27 years old.
But my mom said something to me after she sent me away to live in a girl's home and then I went
into foster care situations and different things. She said something to me years later that really
hurt and she said to me I don't believe you.
Now at the end of her life my mom and I were able in the last four years of her life to make a lot
of reconciliation so I don't want you to think this story ends sadly.
And I do understand that the things that I have been through in my life
have created the person that's able to lead you in this movement and so I'm not sorry.
But all of you have had someone say to you I don't believe you and maybe you've said that
to someone else but I'm going to tell you right now my mom absolutely believed me.
But belief requires action.
I want you to sit in that for a second. Belief requires action. The reason why people say that
they don't believe. The reason why we sometimes say that we don't believe. The reason why sometimes
we take on confusion even when deep down inside we're not confused. We know what we're supposed
to do is because if we admit that we know then we have to do it. Jesus come on. We admit if we
admit it then it requires action. If someone says to you I believe you then they're accountable to
that belief and that belief requires action. My mom would have had to do something that she
wasn't ready to do and that was get rid of this man but he was our family paycheck.
Getting rid of him might have meant financial destitution.
At least for a moment it might have meant trusting God.
And I don't think my mom knew God like that.
I don't think my mom knew God like that.
Holy Spirit is just dealing with our hearts right now.
Guys we have to stop avoiding.
Avoiding is not ignorance. It's actually kind of a form of a rebellion.
Self-protection, fear, you know the enemy often uses I don't know as a stalling spirit.
Grab a hold of that. How many of you oftentimes
the first thing that comes out of your mouth is I don't know.
The first thing that comes out of your mouth is I don't know.
How do you feel? I don't know. Yeah you do.
You just don't want to say it because if you say it then there might be a confrontation.
There might be a conflict and friend there needs to be one.
There needs to be one.
Relationships have healthy conflict and not just relationships.
People say what do you want? You say I don't know. Yeah you know what you want.
You're afraid to ask for it because you're afraid that you won't get it.
You're afraid to verbalize it because someone else might laugh at you.
Someone might say that's ridiculous. You're never going to have that. You're afraid of rejection.
You can't never have what you won't admit you want.
How are you going to have it?
So let's give some examples of this to help people out.
Some people will say I don't know if I'm supposed to leave this relationship.
I get so many people in this community that are in some kind of situation
where they're in a relationship and they'll say I don't know if I'm supposed to leave this relationship.
But you do know.
do. You really do. You just don't want to know, but you do know. Some of you might say,
I don't know if I'm supposed to leave this job, but you know, you do know. Some of you
might say, I don't know if God's calling me to do that, but you've had the confirmation
for months, and you keep asking for more confirmation and more confirmation and more confirmation.
In my experience as a coach, especially a one-on-one coach, the people that ask for
advice the most are the people that already know what to do, but they just don't want
to do it. You guys, we're just going to get really real and really free today. Okay? Don't
be offended. And if you are offended, that's pointing to a hard place of your heart. Invite
Holy Spirit in there to soften it up. The people that ask for the most advice are the
people that already know what to do. They just don't want to do it. Always putting out
fleeces. Anyone the fleece person? Come on. Let's see the people. You read that one scripture
in the Bible and you're like, this is going to give me an out for the rest of my life
because there ain't no way the things that I'm asking God to show me to prove to me that
he wants me to do this are ever going to happen. Oh, contraire, mon frere. Let me tell
you something. There was one something that I didn't want to do because it costs a lot
of money to me. It costs a lot of money. It costs $3,000 and that might as well have been
$3 million to me. It costs $3,000 and I said to my husband, we were away, we're at an event.
I said to him before we went to bed, I said, babe, promise me that we're not going to spend
any money. Promise me that we're not going to buy this thing that costs $3,000 and he's
like, okay, babe, sure. We don't have to buy it. And it was training, you guys, it was training.
And I said, okay. And then before I fell asleep, I said, but, but, because I didn't want to be
disobedient to the Lord, right? Because oftentimes when we say that we're not going to do something
is because we know we're supposed to do it. So then I put out that fleece. I was like, well,
you know, if God, you know, we're not going to do it, but if God really wanted us to do it,
then he would have to do ABC. And you guys, it was ridiculous what I asked for. It was
ridiculous. And I won't even tell you what it is because it wouldn't make any sense to you.
The very next morning, you guys, before I even opened my eyes, ABC happened. Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? And I could have just said, oh, that's a coincidence. There's no,
no, that's not God. I could have just gone back into not believing what I already knew,
pretending not to know what I already know, but I didn't. I stepped forward and it's a good thing
I did because if I hadn't, you guys, I would not be here leading you now. So some of you are like,
I don't know if God's calling me to do that. I don't know if God's calling me to give that up,
to let that go, to move there, to change, to change to that church, to go to that thing.
But you do, you do know. Or you might say something like, you know, I don't know,
I don't know why I can't lose this weight. I barely eat. Come on, friend. You know why
you can't lose that weight. You're afraid to take inventory of what you eat because
you're a snacker McSnacker. Yeah, you don't eat any real meals, but you'd be snacking away.
You're afraid to look at the calorie counts on the things that you're stuffing in your little face.
I am a huge offender of the, I barely eat anything. And yes, there's hormones and there's
thyroid and there's all kinds of stuff, friends, but a lot of it at the end of the day is just
unhealthy habits. I don't know why I can't lose this weight, but all I do is sit on my
derriere all day long. That's all I do is sit. Shoot. I don't know why I can't fix this pattern.
I don't know why I can't forgive this person, but there's a conviction under the cloth.
that are in our hearts somewhere,
a conviction that we do know.
At least we know the first step and we're not taking it.
Right?
Always making excuses.
There's a famous saying that says you can make excuses
or you can make progress.
Excuses are not your friend.
They really are not.
They're not.
So we want to get revelation today.
So what's the one thing that you're pretending not to know?
And friends, I don't want to hold this.
I just want one thing.
Go ahead and put it in the chat.
After me explaining, kind of digging in a little bit more,
put it in the chat.
Let's take a look.
What's the one thing that you're pretending not to know?
Some people know they're supposed to move.
That's the thing they're pretending not to know.
They're pretending not to know stuff about their love lives.
Some of you are pretending not to know that you're angry.
Put a big smile on your face.
You're so nice to everyone, but underneath that niceness,
you're just so angry.
You're so hurt.
You're pretending not to know that you're hurt.
You're sitting next to that person all the time
because you refuse to have confrontation
to tell them how they hurt you.
So you're pretending not to know what they did.
This is good stuff, you guys.
Take a look at what other people are saying.
We're getting out of our comfort zones this morning
because we're here for clarity.
And unfortunately, clarity often starts with confrontation.
And the confrontation that you're going to have today
is with yourself.
We need to confront ourselves.
You need to look in the mirror and say,
hey, Beth, you're pretending not to know this.
And it's time for you to admit that you know.
Leslie, Diana, Alexandra, Lacey,
some of the ladies that I see here at the top of my screen,
Brandon, Kenton, Tim.
We're not confused, friends.
We're avoiding clarity.
And you know why?
Because pretending not to know is a coping mechanism.
It's how we live in fear.
It's how we cope with the fear.
I'm just going to tell you that if you'll go ahead
and take the first step towards that thing
that you know already that you need to do,
that you need to let go of,
that you need to say,
that you need to say it out loud,
that you need to say,
if you stop delaying obedience to that knowing
that's in your heart, everything's going to shift.
That's where your shift is.
Stop protecting your pride.
Stop trying to avoid loss.
You're already losing.
When you avoid accountability, you lose.
This is not just a mindset issue.
This is a spiritual stronghold of passivity
disguised as confusion.
Right?
Come on, guys.
There's a difference between being really lost
and refusing to look at the map.
Raise your hand if this is hitting home for you.
It's hitting home for all of us, me included.
And I will tell you a thousand percent,
the things that I'm afraid to face or do,
the things that I'm pretending not to know,
as soon as I go ahead and step out in faith
and partner with God and do whatever it is
that I need to do,
take action on what I already believe,
because I know it.
Belief requires action.
Things shift.
It's not as scary as you think it is.
Now, I'm not saying that there won't be 10 more steps
after that first step.
I'm not saying that it's gonna be easy,
but as we always say here, it doesn't have to be easy.
It only has to be worth it.
God wants us to get moving forward.
He doesn't want us to be stuck anymore.
So I saw some of the things that you guys put up in the chat and those things are all
good, but I want to give you a little bit more instruction so that you can unpack this
even more.
So once again, our question is, what's the one thing I'm pretending not to know?
And then it can fall in a lot of different categories.
So I have a few things written down here.
What's the one thing that I'm pretending not to know about my assignment?
What am I on earth for?
What's the thing that I'm avoiding knowing because it's going to require me to go get
training to go get schooling, perhaps maybe I feel like I'm too old to go back to school.
So I'm pretending not to know that my assignment requires a degree.
I'm just saying, well, you know, if God wants me to do that, I'll do just some other version
of it.
That doesn't require me to have to go back to school to do it.
Come on.
That's for somebody.
You guys, the time's going to pass anyway.
Stop telling yourself you're too old.
The time's going to pass anyway, it's going to pass anyway.
The two years is going to pass anyway.
You might as well have at the end of that two years, what it is that you need for the
rest of your life to do what it is that God's called you to do.
The schooling, the training, the spending of the money, that money is going to get spent
anyway.
Did you know that?
That money is going to get spent anyway, but it's not going to get spent on the thing that
it's meant for.
God gave you that money to purchase that thing with.
He didn't give you that money to put it in your little money pile like smog.
The only place that you can lay up treasures is in heaven, honey.
Any treasure that you have on earth is going to disappear.
It is going to rust.
It is going to evaporate.
You cannot take it with you and therefore you might as well use it.
It is not a treasure if it's on earth.
It is a resource.
Oh, come on, Holy Spirit.
I've never heard anyone say that.
That is straight from heaven, friends.
That is not a treasure.
That is a resource and resources are meant to be used, not thwarted.
Remember that?
What is that?
That parable in the Bible about the man who had a lot of resources and instead of giving
them out and using them for what God gave them to him for.
If you are rich, you are accountable to be blessed to be a blessing, but instead he pulled
down his small barns and he built bigger barns so he could just hoard it up.
Dude died that night.
He didn't die, y'all, because God punished him for keeping all his resources for himself.
It was just his time to go.
We never know when it's our time to go.
These sweet little darling children here in Kerrville, Texas, they only had eight years
on this earth.
They only got eight years.
They only got nine years.
You best be stepping towards the things God has asked you to do.
You don't know how long you're going to be here.
We don't.
So it's not a treasure if it's on earth.
It isn't.
The only treasure is people.
It's a resource.
So use it.
Use it to get to the next level.
Use it to help other people to get to the next level.
What are you pretending not to know about those relationships that you're in?
I know that you've known them all your life, but they're holding you back, my friend.
They're holding you back and you're pretending not to know that they're holding you back.
They're causing you to not go out.
They're filling that space in your heart.
They're taking up the bandwidth that you have for connection and relationship, but year
after year, you're not growing.
You're not changing.
You're not going forward.
That's the very definition of relationships that are not good for you.
You don't got to pick a fight in order to leave it.
We don't do endings.
Well, you guys, we just don't.
We feel guilty about ending things.
We got to pick a fight.
We got to find a really good reason.
Something that keeps us angry and no contact.
That just means that you outstayed your grace there.
If that's the way you got to leave, that means that you've been needing to leave, you've
been needing to move on, you've been needing to find new friends and new community for
a really long time, and you didn't do it when you had the grace to do it, and now you're
doing it and it's kind of getting a little ugly, but it doesn't have to be that way.
We're supposed to evolve, we're supposed to grow, we're supposed to need new things.
So what are you pretending not to know about your health, your habits?
Are you pretending not to know that porn is human trafficking?
Oh, it's just a little bit of porn, you know, it's no big deal.
I don't do it all the time.
You're telling yourself all kinds of things about, well, you know, these people, they
get paid to do this.
This is their choice.
This is what they want to do.
No friends.
Those people are prisoners.
Those people are being oppressed by the enemy.
They're being trafficked.
The Bible says that at the end of the age, human souls will be bought and sold.
There's your pornography.
Those people are being held hostage by drug addictions that producers have created in
those people's lives in order to get them to do heinous things.
Are you pretending not to know?
So that you can have five minutes of pleasure on the back of someone's torment, Jesus.
I've seen pornography in my life.
I've seen it.
And I want to tell you that the Lord spoke to me when I saw it and he said, these are
someone's children.
These are someone's precious little baby sons and daughters that are now being bought and
sold by the devil himself.
And I'm going to tell you, even if I didn't know Jesus, that was the enough for me to
say, I don't ever want to see this, but you could continue to look at it.
If you are pretending not to know that, what are we pretending not to know about our health?
You got the blood test back.
It says you're prediabetic and yet you continue to eat all the same stuff that you were eating
to get there.
Are you pretending not to know that you're prediabetic?
Are you pretending not to know that there's a tipping point where you will be fully diabetic?
My blood test said I was prediabetic.
My A1C is sky high.
What are we pretending not to know about that door that's already shut, but we keep trying
to reopen it.
It's not for you.
You asked God to shut it.
It's shut.
Why are you trying to reopen it?
I want you to ask yourself, what am I afraid is going to happen if I admit the truth?
We've got to start telling ourselves the truth.
Remember, today is about not confronting others, about confronting ourselves.
You know that that job is draining you.
You know God gave you permission to leave it, even may have told you when you prayed
for change to leave that job, but you're like, well, I've been here for a long time.
I'm waiting for my severance package.
No friend, God has a better package for you.
Start putting out your resumes.
Start the search.
Doors will open.
What are you pretending not to know about that person that you've been talking to that
you know deep down inside is not your person, but you just don't want to start over.
You've already invested five or six months, maybe longer into this relationship, and you
just don't want to start over from scratch.
So you're just pretending not to know that you're just not compatible.
Some of you haven't done the hard work because of this very reason.
You just don't want to admit that you know what you know.
You don't want to dig around in those heart boxes with the help of Holy Spirit, and you're
going to stay stuck.
Some of you need to speak up, you need to use your voice, but you keep saying, I'm not
ready to use my voice.
God's giving you some stories that need to be told.
Doesn't matter if you tell it to one person or if you tell it to millions of people.
people. You're pretending that your story doesn't matter.
You're pretending to,
you're pretending not to know that your story matters.
I know, I know that this is, you know,
very confrontational supernatural Saturday, but once again,
it's done in love. This truth is coming in love. It really is.
God loves us and he wants you to know that you're not waiting on him.
You're not waiting on him. You're avoiding action.
It's just so much easier to tell ourselves that we're waiting on God.
Some of you need to admit that you're pretending not to know
that you're not waiting on God.
You're not waiting on another word. You're not waiting on another promise.
You haven't taken action on the last five that you already got.
And that's what the next six months are going to be about friends in this
community.
If you are in the last year single VIP formerly known as phase three,
we're going after this. We are
because John 8 32 tells us you will know the truth and the truth will set you
free.
That just means that revelation leads to repentance and repentance leads to
restoration.
It's a glass ceiling friends. We can break through. We can,
we don't need a new sign. What we need is new honesty.
We need to be honest with ourselves.
I say this in my heart workbook and I'm going to say it again.
God will not bless the counterfeit you.
He's not obligated to bless the false version of us.
He wants to bless the real us, the raw us,
the surrendered us.
Thank you, Lord.
I think this is a lot for us to chew on.
I don't feel obligated to fill up another 15 minutes of space on this call.
Because this is already a lot,
but just know that God really wants us
to live the lives
that Jesus died to give us.
And that's going to happen on the other side of us
not pretending, not pretending to be okay,
not pretending to have it all together.
Some of us live our lives needing to be right,
needing to be in control,
needing to look like we have it all together on the outside.
You're pretending.
Go ahead. Anyone who's having obstacles,
go ahead. Anyone who's having aha moments, go ahead and put them in the chat.
Your vulnerability creates vulnerability for other people.
Go ahead and put them in the chat. Let's see them.
And I want you guys to know that I'm a thousand percent talking to myself right
now. There is no one that this message is not for.
All of us have areas where we're pretending not to know something that it's time
for us to face. It doesn't have to always be a negative, friends.
Maybe you're pretending not to know how amazing you are.
You're always diminishing yourself because you're hanging around with a bunch
of insecure people that if you ever really show up as your real self,
they're going to be jealous of you.
Those are not friends.
Friends clap when you win.
Friends cheer you on.
They're not intimidated by your greatness.
Some of us are pretending not to know that we're not the problem.
You got stuff going on and you're just a really kind person.
You're a person that forgives easily and you're always taking on a bunch of
stuff that really is not your problem.
The problem is truly. It really is.
And some of us are pretending not to know.
It's not your problem.
The problem is truly. It really, truly is. You're not deflecting.
It really, truly is the other person,
but you're pretending not to know that because it's easier because you are such
a surrendered person.
easier for you to say, well, I just need to do better.
No, you don't.
You need to get the heck out of there.
You need to hold that person accountable for once.
Some of you really have to stop saying that you're confused because you're really not
confused.
Remember, God is not the author of confusion.
The next time that you are tempted to say, I just feel so confused, I want you instead
to ask Holy Spirit to show you what you already know in your heart.
What do you already know in your heart?
And I want you to take note, I want you to pay attention to the situations and the people
and the scenarios that make you feel like you want to say that you're confused.
When does that pop up the most?
Pay attention to that because there's something to that.
There's something deeper that God wants to show you about what's happening in that unseen
realm when you're in those scenarios, those types of situations with those specific people,
those specific topics.
There's usually a topic where we say that more than any other time.
There's a heart wound there.
There's a fear there.
That's rooted in something because confusion is part of the enemy's kingdom.
Confusion is not from heaven.
And if we feel confused in our flesh, oftentimes it's because that's tethered to something
that we need to address.
Guys, I'm excited about the rest of 2025.
Yeah, we're going to do some work and we're going to confront some stuff in ourselves
and possibly in some of our relationships.
And we're going to maybe do some hard things and make some changes that we've been needing
to make for a really long time, but it's all going to be worth it.
It's going to be worth it.
We're going to end this year healthier and wealthier in the form of resources, but also
in the form of friendships and relationships and spirit mates.
God is calling us out only because he's calling us up.
He is calling us up.
And remember, when you say that you're pretending not to know, it doesn't mean that you know
all the steps.
You just know the first step.
You just know the thing that needs to be addressed.
You don't know what happens after that, and you don't have to know what happens after
that.
You just have to make that declaration.
You just have to admit that one thing.
You just have to do that one thing, whatever that is, and the rest will be revealed.
You cannot ignore the start.
Father God, I just thank you for this community.
I thank you, Lord, for these revivalists, each and every one of these people that you
have brought in here.
You've brought them here because they are carrying so much breakthrough, but it starts
with them.
It starts with them, Lord.
It starts with them being willing to face the things a lot of times that they already
know.
So, Father, we thank you for clarity.
We thank you that all confusion goes in Jesus' name.
We see what it's rooted in so that we don't partner with it anymore.
It's time for us to step forward, Lord.
It's time for us to step forward and do things that you've always had for us.
We're not waiting on you.
You're waiting for us to be obedient to what you've already placed in our hearts.
Help us.
Give us the grace to do the hard things, to do the right things that are not the easy
things.
Help us to see ourselves as you see us, Lord.
Help us to stop playing small in this world because you've created us to shine.
Let us truly step into these Matthew 5 moments where we are the city that is built on a hill
that cannot be hid.
And that doesn't just mean our highlight reels, the good things, it also means the not so
good things, the wounds, the pain, help us to show up with a new level of vulnerability
like we've never done before, starting with ourselves and then being able to go out to
others.
In Jesus name.
Amen.
All right, friends.
I'm going to talk in last year's single community, that phase three VIP group on the 17th, going
to lay a plan down for those of you that are not there yet.
You can possibly, we might put that replay up in your groups if you're in phase one,
phase two.
If you are here as a member of our last year's single light, I want to encourage you to upgrade.
It's time for you.
Just maybe what you're pretending not to know is that you need to do the hard work and it's
time for you to upgrade into the program.
I love you guys.
We're going to have an amazing year.
We are, but only if we do the work.
The grace is here to do it.
So let's say yes.
I'll see you soon.
