All right, welcome everyone to Supernatural Saturday.
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who prayed for me on Faith Friday.
You might not have known it, but I was there, I was listening and I'm so thankful that there's
a community of faith that we can come to and that we can lean into.
Even the strongest of us, those that seem like they are the strongest of us, a lot of
times on the outside, we're like, hey, that person doesn't need anything.
That person doesn't need prayer.
They got it together.
Well, even the people that seem like they have it together, maybe they do have it together
in some areas, but suffering comes to us all, trials and tribulation comes to us all.
Jesus promised us all that.
That was one of his promises.
In this world, you will be tribulated.
In this world, you will have suffering.
Why?
Because you've been bad?
No.
Now, there are natural consequences to bad decisions, but we can even reap those in grace
when we come to Christ, when we ask him to help us, when we cast our cares on him.
That's what your Jesus Cares boards are for.
For those of you that are in our preview group, you're in the light group, the Last Year's
Single Light, you might not know all about that because you're not in the program yet.
I want to really convince you to go ahead and jump in because you need what we have
here and it's going to change your life.
You're getting a little taste, but it's going to transform you if you will allow it to.
We can even cast that on, but that's not why we have suffering because we've made bad decisions.
I mean, sometimes, but it's just because the earth is still under a curse that's been broken.
It hasn't gotten the full memo yet.
There's all kinds of bad people out here because they're not bad intrinsically necessarily,
but they're under a curse and they're still operating out of that curse.
They're still hurting people.
They're still running around like orphans with their hair on fire, trying to get what
they think is theirs.
And that looks like a lot of different things.
And obviously evil, you know, the fallen one third of heaven in the form of angels that
became what we call demons and all of the powers of darkness, which by the way, are
not any match for one drop of light.
Just want to remind someone of that this morning.
That's why there's all kinds of craziness going on out here.
So yes, pray for those that come upon your heart, even if you think they don't need it.
And so I want to thank you guys for praying for me yesterday.
I did notice that while that was happening, while you guys were praying for me on Faith
Friday, that there were 91 of you on the call.
And that really spoke a message.
All of your messages, all of your prayers really were very encouraging to me.
I want to tell you that I'm doing better today and I'm going to continue to do better.
And but when I saw that 91, it reminded me of my most favorite verse, my most favorite
passage of scripture, Psalm 91.
And we're going to get into that in a minute because I'm going to talk about my favorite
scriptures.
I'm going to talk about why I love numbers.
A lot of you are like, Jackie, Jackie's into those numbers.
Yes, she is.
But she's only into those numbers, not because I like numerology.
I'm into the numbers because when I see numbers, it leads me back to scriptures.
When I see numbers, I've hidden God's word in my heart to such an extent that when I
see numbers, I see scriptures.
Did you know that?
And you're like, well, Jackie, how did this happen?
Well, I'll tell you how it happened.
In my 20s, I was very sick the whole decade into my 30s, actually, until I was about 33,
34 years old.
So about 10, 12 years of my life, because I met Jesus at 22, I was in the word and I
was in the word because I had nothing else to do.
Friends, I'd love to tell you that I just always had a love for God's word.
I was just in the word because I wanted to be in the word.
But I was in the word because I really physically, mentally could not live outside of it.
I couldn't live outside of it.
Things that you enjoy, like getting dressed and going outside of your house and getting
in your car and going wherever you want.
I wasn't able to do that.
I wasn't able to get dressed and go outside of my house and get in the car and go wherever
I wanted because I had severe mental illness.
I couldn't function.
I couldn't go to the grocery store.
I couldn't go to the Walmart, especially not the Walmart.
I couldn't go to any place that regular people go.
In fact, I remember sitting, this thought came back to my mind the other day.
I remember sitting on a park bench, just being out in public, away from
in the house, you know, they call that agoraphobia when you're not able to leave a safe space,
whether it's your house or wherever it is.
I remember that I was out and I was on a bench and I was watching people go by.
Don't remember the full context of why I was out and what was happening, but that was just
stretching it already for me to be in that place.
And so I was watching people go by and I didn't know who the people were.
You know, you're sitting on a bench watching humanity go by.
But I will tell you that I was in such a low place in my life that I wished that I could
be any one of those people that were passing me.
Any one of those people.
Because they seemed, wait for it, normal.
They seemed normal.
I don't know what was going on in those people's lives, but on this particular day, they were
walking past wherever I was sitting, living a normal life.
Walking with other people, chatting with them, talking.
They were, you know, dressed.
They look like they had their lives together.
They didn't look like they were living in any type of fear or anxiety.
They didn't look like they were having any kind of intrusive or obsessive thoughts that
were causing them to not be able to live normally.
I just wanted to be normal.
Friends, my greatest prayer is, please, God, can I just be normal?
I just want to be normal.
I just want to be a normal person.
I just want to live a normal life.
And I'd love to tell you that, you know, that prayer was answered in a quick minute, but
it wasn't.
It took over a decade of my life in order for me to become, and of course, that continues
to progress.
Because when we continue in his word, we know the truth and it makes us free.
But I came to Christ at 22 years old with a lot of issues, with a lot of heart wounds.
For those of you that have done the heart work with me, I had a lot of wounds and a
lot of lies.
And so it wasn't an easy transition.
The things that had made me who I was by the time I was 22, all the abuse and all the hurt
and all the pain, all of the things that had happened, all the betrayal and everything,
I wasn't going to get rid of that overnight.
And that's where a lot of people give up.
And quite frankly, friends, I'm not saying that I'm some special person that didn't give
up.
There were plenty of times when I wanted to give up, but the word inside of me would not
give up.
It was the word inside of me.
You know how we always say, hey, you know, invite Jesus to come live in your heart, right?
Jesus lives in my heart.
I want to read a scripture to you really quickly before we get started that I think is going
to be super important to this entire conversation, Ephesians 3.16 and 3.17.
I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through his
spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And that I pray that you would be rooted and established in love.
Friends, how does Christ abide or live in our hearts through faith?
It's because he is the word.
It's because he is the word that was robed in flesh and dwelt among us.
It is the word that abides in your heart that causes you to live in faith.
And friends, because I had a unique experience where I was basically bent for an entire decade,
now I'm not saying that there weren't good months where I got out and I did some stuff.
You guys have heard about my adventures when I worked at the homeless shelter or this or
that, but they were all pretty short lived.
I'd be kind of running and doing things for about three months and I'd be flat on my back,
back at the house with all the same issues that I had before, unable to do anything.
And it was during those times, though, that God built the foundation of my heart in his
word, in his word.
Remember the scripture that says, if you build your house on the rock, then when the storms
come, your house isn't going to fall.
It doesn't promise that your house is not going to get beat up on by the wind and the
rain. It just promises that there's not going to be a destruction.
It's not going to, the storm is going to be for your promotion, not your destruction.
Amen. But if you build your house on the sand, which is everything else besides the word
of God, it's man's ideologies, it's humanism, it's transcendentalism, it's everything that
you think because it's been passed down to you from your family, that's not the rock.
It's not Christ.
It's not the living word.
Then, yeah, stuff's going to fall apart.
And that's happened to all of us.
All of us have built our lives on things that are on sinking sand.
We have. On our own ability, on our own strength to be able to do something that's sinking
sand, friend.
Well, strength is sinking sand.
Just want to let you know that in case you didn't know.
Our strength has to be in Christ.
So how does he live in our hearts?
He lives in our hearts by the word.
And so friends, when I go out in public now,
and by the way, I go out in public now.
I live my life fully alive now.
I go everywhere now.
Now, my prayer to be normal was not answered
because I'm still not normal.
I'm not a normal person, okay?
For sure.
But I'm abnormal in a whole different way,
which I'll take, I'll take it.
But I see numbers and I see numbers
and they mean something to me.
They mean scriptures.
They mean the biblical numerology meaning of them.
And why is that?
Because I have hid his word in my heart.
And that's what today is about.
I want you to live your life in the word of God.
I want you to live your life.
And it was a reminder for me
when I heard you praying for me yesterday,
the Lord began to speak to me
about areas where I had gotten off
living my life in his word.
Areas where I was starting to believe my feelings
instead of faith that comes by hearing
and hearing by the word of God.
And I want to take us all back there today.
Can we go back there?
Father God, I just love you so much.
And I'm so thankful for your word that you sent it.
You closed it in flesh and you sent it to live among us.
You sent it to come and to do all that you set it out to do
to die for us.
We're so thankful for Jesus today.
We're so thankful for the finished work of the cross.
We're so thankful for the blood.
We're so thankful that we can abide in him.
We can abide in him.
And it's time for us to make our home in him today.
And so I'm asking that you would supernaturally
give us the ability to do that.
In Jesus name, amen.
All right, so good morning family.
If you're new to Supernatural Saturday, welcome.
We're gonna go on a fun ride today.
This is the session that we do every week.
That's about what is the current
prophetic reality of heaven?
What is the current prophetic reality?
What is God saying?
How can we live abundantly?
How can we have the John 10, 10 life?
And I believe that God brought us all here today
because he wants to take us from simply
knowing about his word.
Some of you don't even know the word.
You just know about it.
People will say stuff.
You'll be like, yeah, I think that's scripture.
You just know about the word.
Some of you know the word, okay,
but you're not living in it.
So for everyone's going to take a step forward.
If you know the word, but you're not living in it,
we're gonna live in it today.
And if you don't know the word,
you're gonna have a desire and a hunger
because we're gonna pray that over you
at the end of this session to know the word,
to know it for yourself.
You guys know that there are believers in this world
that will never have a Bible?
They won't have a Bible.
What does that mean?
That means that when missionaries or other Christians
come through their tribes, their villages,
wherever they are,
they hang on to the little bit of truth
that is spoken over them.
I know that we think that it's about abundance
and this is not, okay, this is not a session
where I'm gonna put down reading through the Bible
in a year.
That's awesome.
If you wanna do that, go for it.
But that's not living in the word.
That's just reading it.
And yeah, read it.
Some of it's gonna get in there.
Some of it you're gonna remember.
But the Bible doesn't tell us to read it.
It tells us to meditate on it.
The word meditation means to chew
like a cow chews its cud, to chew on it.
And so sometimes the people that have less
are better off than us that have more.
Some of you have four or five, maybe six,
maybe 10 Bibles in your house,
but you've never fully gotten all the juice
out of any one scripture.
Cause you just kind of read through it, right?
Let's face it, not all of our reading comprehension
is all that great.
But then these other folks,
they have maybe four or five scriptures
that they're living on for their entire life.
Chewing on it, getting all the juice out of it.
Do you guys understand what I'm saying?
So Holy Spirit, we just invite you
to make the word alive to us today.
Let it not be black ink on white pages,
but a living voice that shapes our lives
and releases heaven on earth through us.
Friends, I remember before I met Jesus,
his word was already in my heart to a certain degree.
And the reason why was because I had gone to Bible camp
when I was a kid.
You know, the only people that really throw camps
and throw them well are like Christian organizations.
So like St. Isaac Joe's camp,
I remember I went to a Catholic camp one year.
My mom was always trying to send us off for the summer,
like, hey, go off for the summer.
And there was this other camp that was fully Pentecostal.
You guys know who those folks are, right?
And at this particular camp
that I went to every single year,
in fact, it's where I met Reagan's dad.
That's how Reagan's dad and I met.
I wasn't being raised in a Christian home, but I was sent off to this super legalistic
holiness camp.
I don't even know how they let me in, but there I was.
And I didn't have the clothes that these girls had, and these girls all had like hair down
to their booties, and my hair was like in a bob.
Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb.
And there was free time.
Three hours a day, there was free time.
You could go play volleyball, you know, you could go do anything except talk to the boys.
You're allowed to do anything except talk to the boys.
You're not allowed to talk to the boys.
All right?
But you could do anything else you wanted, and guess who didn't play sports?
The girls.
The girls sat around and watched the boys play sports, but guess who played sports?
Me.
All right?
So not only did I have short hair and I was tall and lanky like a giraffe, okay, and I
didn't have the right clothes because all these kids, all they had was dresses.
They had a whole wardrobe of dresses.
Guess who owned one skirt?
Little old me, Jackie D. And so I wore that skirt every single day at
camp, and I'm sure that I looked like the wreck of the Hespera, but that's okay.
That's all right.
Okay?
Because I was good at sports, and I just remember that all the guys liked me because, like,
I helped them win the volleyball game because here I am doing something that these girls
didn't do, and that was play, not watch.
So but three hours a day of recreation is not a lot, so you might ask, what were you
guys doing for the other 18,000 hours of the day?
Oh, we were listening to people talk about the Bible.
That's what we were doing.
And it was boring as heck.
Okay?
Just want to make sure that I make that super clear.
It was really, really boring, and if I hadn't started having a crush on a specific boy at
that camp, I definitely would not have kept going there every year, but that is the reason
why.
Just there you go.
It's all the truth is out there.
But here's the good news.
The good news is that that word, whoo, it's alive.
And even when you don't know it, it's getting in you.
It's getting inside of you, even when you don't know it's getting inside of you.
And so fast forward to 20 years old, I'm going through it, friends.
I've already been on my own since I was, you know, not even 17 years old.
I've gotten myself into tons of trouble.
All kinds of bad things are happening, and now my body is a wreck.
My mind is a wreck.
I'm dealing with all kinds of mental health issues, physical health issues, and I'm in
the emergency room, and they're about to put me in the MRI tube.
Anyone else been in the MRI tube?
Oh, it's scary, y'all.
It's really loud, and it's scary, and I didn't have anyone with me because I didn't have
anyone.
Imagine being 20 years old and all alone in the world.
I was already separated from my husband, by the way, the boy from the camp that I married
that immediately rejected me when he realized that I wasn't going to be sister Christian
because I didn't know how.
I wasn't raised that way.
Here I was coming from the streets, and he was partnering with my flesh.
He was partnering with the beautiful girl because I had transformed like a butterfly
from that.
Isn't that so true?
All of us lanky, weird-looking kids, we always turn out to be pretty hot, and that's just
what happens.
Let's just face it.
So he partnered with that, but he wasn't partnering with who I was.
I didn't even know who I was.
I didn't have identity, and so he had already kicked me to the curb.
He had already cast me aside.
He had already rejected me because I couldn't be what he wanted, and that was some kind
of religious trophy wife, I guess.
I was at the ER by myself, and then I was in the tube by myself, and they were checking
me for some really serious stuff because my symptoms pointed to that.
I'm in the tube, and it's super loud, and I'm all alone, and there's tears streaming
down my face, and all of a sudden, I feel a peace, a peace that passes any kind of current
understanding.
I remember feeling that peace before.
Do you guys want to know where I felt it before?
I felt it when I was locked up in the juvenile detention center, and everyone's screaming
in the night, all kinds of demonic things happening.
Of course, I didn't understand that because I didn't know God at that level at all.
I just knew that people were really angry, and they're beating on walls, and people are
screaming, and everyone's locked in their own cell with a tiny little window in the
door and nothing else, and it's a scary place, friends.
I just remember as I was laying on that cot in the detention center, which by the way,
I wasn't there because of crime or bad behavior.
I was there because I was a runaway.
I had ran away from a foster home where a man in that home that didn't belong in that
home was trying to sexually assault me.
And so I'm laying on that cot in that room and I just feel the peace of God come over
me.
I don't know that that's what it is.
I just feel completely at peace.
And this song, and it's not obviously a church song friends, but listen to the words of it.
Just remember I love you and it'll be all right.
Remember that song from the radio?
Just remember I love you more than I can say.
Just remember I love you and it'll be all right.
That song kept playing over and over in my head.
Something that I'm sure my mother had played.
That music's from her generation, not mine.
And I fell asleep.
And so I recognized in the MRI tube that same feeling of peace, peace that shouldn't be
here according to the circumstances.
But this time, guess what popped in my head?
What popped in my head was a song that they sang at that church camp.
And I didn't know that it was scripture friends, I just want to let you know that full disclosure.
But obviously when I say it right now, you're going to recognize it as Proverbs 3, 5, trust
in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, but in all your
ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.
And then they go on to say, magnify the Lord with me.
You know, that's a song.
And it popped into my head.
One of the greatest ways to get scripture into you is to listen to the old hymns, just
so you know.
If you listen to the old hymns, most of them are based on full scripture.
It's a great way to get the word inside of you, especially if you love music.
Guys, what is God trying to do today?
He's trying to help us to understand that when the word gets inside of us, it creates
things like peace.
It creates things like hope.
It creates things like joy.
So what does it mean to live in the word?
Let's talk about this for just a second.
I want to give you a practical application.
What's it mean to live in the word?
Just so you know, friends, in times of stress and times of trouble, where do you go first?
I just want to ask you that.
Where do you go first?
Because wherever you go first is what your trust is in.
So if you go to mind numbing, you go to medicating, whether it's scrolling through social media
so you don't have to think about whatever it is that you were thinking about, whether
it's going to watching a movie, whether it's calling up a friend and commiserating, wherever
we go first to is where we are putting our trust in helping us at that moment and bringing
peace to us at that moment.
So we need to go to the word, right?
We need to go to God.
We need to go.
We need to go in prayer.
We need to go in meditation.
That's what it means to abide in Jesus.
That's what it means to live your life with him.
So abiding in the truth, John 15, seven, you guys know these scriptures.
If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it will be
done for you.
What comes before this scripture talking about how he is the vine and you are the branch.
And as long as you stay connected to him, how, how do you stay connected to Jesus by
just saying, Oh, I love you, Jesus.
Yeah, that's wonderful.
No, you stay connected to him by his words.
If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it will be
done.
So it's about abiding, it's about living our life inside of it, inside of him, inside of
his word.
What does abide mean?
I have it here.
What does abide mean?
What does it mean to abide?
I'm going to tell you, I'm glad you asked.
It means to live, remain, not visit equationally.
It means to live and to remain, and it's not someplace that you just come in and out of,
it's a place that you live in continually.
How can we live continually in Jesus?
I mean, the man Jesus is not on the earth anymore.
We can't just go over his house every day and just hang out with him.
And just by the way, if I was alive, when Jesus was alive, I would totally have been
hanging out with him every day.
It didn't matter.
He could have called me a dog.
He could have said, you a Gentile.
I'd be like, okay, bro, but I'm still coming.
I'm still coming.
But we can't do that, but we can, we can't do that, but we can abide in his word.
He is his word.
He is his word and we can abide in his word.
So number one, practical application.
What are we going to do?
We are going to be the branch.
Come on, just say it.
I'm a branch.
You guys almost got that.
tattooed on my arm. Every time I started to take my life into my own hands and I
started to feel stressed and overwhelmed with all of my problems, I would remember
I'm just a branch. Just so you know, that is where the Jesus Cares board comes
from. It comes from me realizing that I'm just a branch. Now that doesn't mean that
you're not gonna have to do anything. Remember, when the branch abides in the
mind, it bears fruit. You're gonna bear fruit. Go and read the whole list of
spiritual fruit that you're going to bear of joy and peace and patience. Some
of us are like, patience? Yeah, friend. You're never gonna have any patience unless you
are connected to Jesus. Some of us have more patient natural personalities, okay?
Like me. I have a lot of tolerance, believe it or not, but my husband? No, no,
no. You put him behind the wheel of a car and that man? He doesn't have any
patience. There is no patience, okay? He's losing his Holy Spirit every day behind
the wheel of the car. And now, bro has an F-150. So now, my little, my short king, my
5.8 is now behind the wheel of a big truck, okay? And that man has less
patience in his big old truck. And I'm like, oh, no. No. That person is just
driving. They're just driving. Leave them alone. Yes, they don't know how to drive.
That's not really our problem. But at the same time, patience is going to come if
you don't have it naturally. And remember, there's a level of patience that's always
supernatural. I'm just making fun right now. There's a level of tolerance that's
always supernatural. It's a level of compassion that's always supernatural. So
even if you are a personality that has more empathy, more compassion, more patience,
you're going to need higher levels of it because this world is going to try you.
These people out here on the streets, they're going to try you. They are. And
your human compassion is going to run out. And that is why we have to be a branch.
So I want you to say that. I'm a branch. I'm a branch. You guys, when I was reminding
myself of that in overwhelming circumstances, what was I doing? I was living life in the
Word. You're like, but Jackie, you were just saying you're a branch. You guys, stop
being religious. I knew what I meant, and God knows what I mean. He knows that I'm
quoting His Word. He knows that I'm quoting His Word. I was in the back of an emergency
vehicle with my mother. She had gotten out of the ICU. She had been in there for a month.
She had a surgery that went bad. This was during her sickness, her illness, and she
was in rough shape. And the rehab center did not like the swelling. She had a lot of retained
water, a lot of edema, and they wanted to send her back to the hospital. And my mom
did not want to go. Okay. She'd been in the hospital for a month, and now she'd only been
in the rehab for a week, and they were already sending her back. And I think internally she
had a fear that she was going to die in the hospital, and she didn't want to, like no
one would want to, right? And just so you know, she didn't die. She didn't die then.
She didn't pass on. None of us die. She didn't go. She didn't transition then. But we're
in the back of the emergency vehicle, and my mom is so scared. I'm with her. They're
letting me ride with her from the rehab to the hospital, and we're back there. And there's
an EMT, and he's doing whatever he's doing. She's not in any kind of life-threatening
situation at the moment. So he's just getting her strapped in and stuff. And I'm talking
to my mom. I'm looking her in the eyes, and I'm speaking the word of God over her to bring
peace to her, because the fruit, the fruit of the word is peace. It's one of the fruits.
And I'm not using, guys, I'm not quoting scripture as far as like giving, you know, the book
and the chapter and the verse. I'm just saying to my mom, mom, you know, we just need to
stay focused. Because, you know, she's like, but, but, but, and she's saying all these
things that she's worried that are going to happen when she gets to the hospital. And
I say to my mom, mom, we're not going to borrow any kind of trouble from tomorrow,
because tomorrow is going to take care of itself. That's what I said to her. And now
homeboy is listening to everything we're saying. He's in the back of the ambulance with us.
And he's like, wow, that's so good. Like he doesn't know his scripture, friends. He's
just like, wow, that's so wise. That's so good. He's like, man, I'm going to tell my
kids that. This is how the word is alive. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't know
that it came from the Bible. It doesn't matter. God said that his word would not return void
this way.
they would accomplish everything that he set it out to do.
This is called living life in the word.
I wasn't out there like a little quiz team kid
trying to talk about the scripture and the verse
and all the different things that have to do with it
and the Hebrew and the Greek meaning.
I was just saying a concept from scripture
that held all of the same amount of truth.
I just wanna help you guys
because some of you are gonna get a hold
of this message today and you're gonna be walking around
like little Bible quizzers.
If you know what Bible quizzing is,
it's where they memorize the Bible
and then they quote it and they play games
to see who knows it better.
And that's not what we're trying for here.
We're trying to help you to become naturally supernatural.
Naturally supernatural is what's important.
All right, let's get through this
because I wanna get to my favorite scripture
and show you how we're gonna break it down.
All right, we're gonna abide in God's truth, John 15, 7.
We're gonna abide, we're gonna be a branch.
I'm just a branch.
Gotta let scripture be our default, friends.
Let the word, let the truth of God be our default,
our first response, our filter for all decisions.
Ask God, say, God, I want your word to be my internal GPS.
So let's see some biblical examples of this.
I have this written down here.
Jesus in the wilderness.
It says, when the tempter came to him,
this is Matthew 4, verses three and four.
Now, when the tempter came to him, he said,
if you are the son of God, command, what's he doing?
He's tempting him.
What's he doing?
He's challenging him.
If you are who you say you are,
command that these stones become bread.
And he answered and said, it is written,
where was it written?
In the scrolls, friends, in the scrolls.
We don't have the Bible yet, right?
This is Jesus.
It is written, man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
And you see during that entire temptation scene in the Bible
that Jesus uses the word to combat temptation.
It's the word.
Obviously the word, him, he's the word,
using the word, powerful stuff.
Joshua 1.8, this book of the law.
Remember, these folks did not have the New Testament.
They didn't have the Bible the way we have it.
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate in it day and night
that you may observe to do
according to all that is written in it.
For then you will make your way prosperous
and then you will have good success.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What?
If I meditate, remember what I said?
Meditate is like chewing on something.
Some of you have an earworm in your head every day,
some little jingle that you heard in the grocery store
and now you can't get it out.
And for God's sake, please do not listen to Baby Shark.
You will not, you will be singing Baby Shark from now
until Jesus comes back, okay?
I accidentally heard it and it's even worse than Lamb Chops,
this is the song that never ends.
It's even worse, okay?
So some of us have that.
Well, what is that?
That is a song that's stuck in your head
that you're basically meditating on now.
You guys, play stuff, play in your car,
play music that contains the word.
Some of this new music doesn't really contain the word,
it's a bunch of whiny stuff.
Oh Jesus, we love you.
Okay, great.
Play music that contains power,
that contains the word,
that reminds you of who God is and his character.
And then guess what?
You're all of a sudden meditating on the word.
Technology has made it even easier to meditate on the word.
When you're on the treadmill at the gym,
you can listen to people speaking the word,
you can listen to preaching,
you can listen to the Bible,
can listen to someone with a really nice voice
reading the Bible to you.
You know, you can, you can do all these things.
You can listen to music.
My husband always says, because he is a worshiper
and he led worship for 15 years
and he's a powerful music gift, a musical prophet, okay?
But he always likes to say that music is the quickest way
to get information inside of you
without even feeling like you're doing it.
And that's why the enemy uses music
to really mess up people's minds.
Music is powerful, friends.
So use the power of music to your benefit in this area.
Get in there, saturate in it, saturate.
So here's some practical ways.
Daily saturation, daily saturation.
One verse, one verse a day, you guys,
carries more power than 10 verses that you can do.
you forget by the time you get to lunch.
So pick one verse to just think about
and ask God to squeeze all the juice out of it.
Here's an example, Psalm 119, 11.
Your word I have hidden in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Just chew on it.
Just meditate on it.
What's it mean, Lord?
Break it down to me.
Show me what it means to me and my life.
We're all different.
We're all in different places.
And then what do you do?
Speak it out loud.
Here are the steps.
Daily saturation, pick one verse,
meditate on it every day.
And some of you will like a verse so much,
you'll be like, hey, I'm gonna meditate
on this verse all month.
And that's fine, whatever.
Whatever Holy Spirit leads you to do.
Speak it out loud.
Why?
Because Proverbs 18, 21 says,
death and life are in the power of the tongue
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Those that love what?
Those that love to talk.
If you're someone who loves to talk,
you will have a lot of fruit from your words.
And so if you are a talker,
please make sure that your mouth is filled with truth
so that you can benefit by the fruit of truth.
Number three, make decisions by the word.
Psalm 119, 105 says, your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Don't just go to everybody else before you go to the word.
Don't just go to everybody else before you go to God,
before you pray in the spirit,
before you find out what the heavenly community
thinks about your issue, your problem,
the decision that you need to make.
And then from that place, get confirmations from people.
People should be confirmations, not revelations.
Write that down.
Humans, we need them.
In a multitude of counselors, there are safety friends.
You want, you want that.
Let a word be confirmed to be established
through the mouth of two or three witnesses.
Those are humans, okay?
But here's the thing.
Don't let that be your first step.
This is where confusion comes in.
You have to have your own personal relationship with God.
You have to know how to go to the word.
You have to know how to go in the spirit to the throne room.
Boldly, the Bible says, boldly come before my throne.
You don't need a mediator.
Jesus was your mediator.
He is your high priest.
He is standing at the right hand of God right now,
right now, interceding for you.
And so it's important that you understand
all of those things and you come to him.
Because why?
Because that's how you prove your faith.
The Bible says faith.
What?
Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
Because why?
Because people who have faith come to him
and believe that he's a rewarder
of those that diligently seek him.
Guys, I woke up this morning at 7-11.
That will forever and always be Matthew 7-11 for me.
What is that?
That's the ask, seek, and knock scripture.
And so what did I do?
I laid in bed at 7-11 and I asked.
And I seeked and I knocked.
I felt like there was an invitation from the Lord.
Why?
Because I know what those numbers mean.
Here's the fun thing.
This will help you understand the word.
And sometimes, you know, you're gonna get a weird scripture
that means nothing at all.
All right, friends, this is not a magic eight ball.
You can't shake it, all right?
And just, this is not sorcery.
But in order to get yourself in the word even more,
if you're sitting at a stoplight
and you see a license plate in front of you
that has some numbers on it,
just Google those numbers in scripture.
So like, say I'm sitting behind a car
and the license plate number is 422.
Just say, all you have to say is Bible 4 colon 22
into Google and it will pull up all the scriptures
in the Bible that have that reference, 422.
And then just read, just eat, friends, eat from the word.
Some of it will be good, some of it will be tossed out.
Some of it will be shem begat shay
and shay begat shadrach and blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it doesn't even matter, okay?
And some of it will be good.
And you'll be like, yeah, that's good.
So making decisions by the word.
Four, we're gonna replace our internal dialogue.
Remember I told you that I had a mental issue
that caused intrusive, obsessive,
bad, negative, evil thoughts.
But the word has replaced those.
You guys, I used to walk around within my purse
a whole bunch of note cards with scriptures on them.
And I would pull them out at my weakest moments
which were all day long
because I had this mental thing going on.
And I would just remember this became my living reality.
The word became my living reality.
My living reality was not my living reality anymore.
The word became my living reality.
And that is how I functioned.
I functioned that way.
Replace your internal dialogue,
especially if it's bad, with the word.
Isaiah 55, 11.
So shall my word be that goes.
from my mouth, it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Get that word inside of you. Replace your internal
dialogue with it. Five, act on the word immediately. Don't just be a hearer of the word,
be a doer of the word. Act on it immediately. You're like, well, but I got to think about it
for a while. I got to think about it. I got to make sure that it's right. I got to get, you know,
like you said, Jackie, just now, I got to get it confirmed and reconfirmed. No,
you don't always have to do that. If it's a huge, big decision, then yes, get some,
get some counsel, get some confirmation, let it be established. But if it's a small decision,
do it. Take imperfect action. If it's a tiny decision, if it's not a big decision,
act immediately on it, right? So I want you to pick a scripture. Here's your homework. I want
you to pick a scripture. Right now, all of you should be able to pull a scripture into your mind
without looking at the Bible. Raise your hand when you have a scripture in your mind.
Whatever scripture first pops up in your head, come on, get them up, hands up, hands up,
hands in the air, wave them like you just don't care. Come on.
A lot of people struggling here. Get them up.
Okay. Whatever scripture came to your head, I want you to just, I want you to declare it
twice out loud right now. Don't, don't unmute yourself. We'll have a, we'll have some chaos
in here right now. Just declare it out loud twice. Not just once, twice. Go ahead.
Matthew 7, 11.
Isaiah 54, 17.
Ephesians 3, 20.
You guys, you guys are, you're misunderstanding. Just not with, don't unmute yourself. Just declare
it out loud in your house right now. Just declare it out loud. The whole thing. Don't just quote the
scripture reference. Jeremiah 29, 11. Say what it says. Twice. You guys, there's so many
supernatural benefits to this. There's so many supernatural benefits. Okay. God promises us
that we will have clarity and chaos. Hebrews 4, 12 says, for the word of God is living and powerful
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. It's going to activate our faith.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That's Romans 10, 17. It's going to offer
us protection. I'm going to get into Psalm 91 here in a second, but it says he who dwells in
the secret place of the most high will abide in the shadow of the almighty. Accelerate your promises,
friends, when you speak the word. Jeremiah 1, 12 says, and the Lord said to me, you have seen well,
for I'm ready to perform my word. What is that about? Jeremiah, what do you see? Tell me what
you see, Jeremiah. And Jeremiah told God what he saw, and he said, you have seen well. This is what
I'm about to do. Friends, we got to partner. We got to come into alignment. The very first prophetic
word that anyone ever spoke over me was all the way back that I knew, that I knew what was going
on. I mean, I've had lots of words over the course of my discipleship, but I'm talking about a
preacher with a microphone that calls you out of the crowd and speaks a word over you. That happened
for me in 2009. That preacher has gone on to be with the Lord. He is no longer living on the earth,
and he actually, he went on to be with the Lord very young, very bizarre, in a very bizarre way.
And it really broke my heart because he doesn't know how he shifted me that day. But you know
what he said? He said he was talking about some of the things that God was going to do in my life,
and he said, this will all happen as a result of a divine alignment.
And friends, of course, when you hear a word like that, you're immediately looking for people,
right? Okay, God's going to bring someone in my life. It's going to be divine alignment,
and then all these things are going to come true. All these things the preacher said that I was
going to have, and they were correct. They were things, they were dreams of my heart. He didn't
know me. He was calling out the dreams of my heart, but then he was saying that those dreams
were going to come to pass because of a divine alignment. And of course, I thought that divine
alignment, obviously, it was going to be people helping me to fulfill those dreams.
But friends, the divine alignment that he was talking about is living life in the Word.
The divine alignment that he was talking about was me getting into alignment with God's Word,
living in and out of God's Word. It will accelerate your promises if you will get
into alignment. I know you have a lot of feelings. I have a lot of feelings. Stop speaking your
feelings. You're like, but Jackie, that's denying the truth. No, it's not. It's defying the facts.
What you're speaking is not truth. It's facts. God's truth is the only truth.
There is a greater truth. There's always been a greater truth.
are trumped by God's truth. It doesn't matter what your facts say. All that matters is what God said.
All that matters is what God is saying. And friends, that's not just blab it and grab it.
It's not just name it and claim it. Forget about all that. It's about coming into alignment with
the Word, not just once in a while, every single day. And then letting God order your steps.
Letting God, like letting him, Proverbs 3, 5, in all your ways, acknowledge him and he will direct
your path. How do you acknowledge him in all your ways? By turning to his Word and to his truth.
And then he'll direct your path. You're going to do human stuff, friends. You're going to take,
you know, there's times when you're going to do things that don't seem that supernatural.
You'd be like me, man, God, you could have solved this problem in a supernatural way.
Why do you want me to do it like this? Because he said so.
Do you guys hear what I'm saying? All your problems are not going to just evaporate
because you're doing what I'm saying. God's going to lead you to do some really human things.
But you're going to know that God's leading you to do it and that he's in it with you.
That he's in it with you. It's really important that you understand that.
All right, so we're going to accelerate the promises.
One thing that comes to mind is that there was a girl that was underneath
the umbrella of this community. She was in our program and she felt led to go and spend New
Year's down in L.A. She lives up in Northern California and she used to live in L.A.
And she thought a lot of great things were going to happen for her when she was living
there and they just didn't. And then she moved away and she was living up in Northern California
and she felt this. It was a kind of short notice. It was for the moment.
Hey, I'm going to go down and spend New Year's, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day
in L.A. And it was a sacrifice to do it, travel, all the things. But she went down
and she went to a New Year's party of one of her friends and she met the man who is now her husband.
Doing things that don't make sense. All right, as we're living our life,
what? In alignment with God and his word. In alignment.
Really important stuff here. Okay, so peace and stability come. Peace and stability come.
Psalm 1, 2, and 3, but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law, he meditates day and
night and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bring forth its fruit in its
season. Whose leaf also shall not wither and whatever he does shall prosper. Whatever he
puts his hands to, friends, are going to prosper. Why? Because he is meditating in and to wait for
on the word. Revelation is going to come, right? Transformation into Christ's image is number six,
2 Corinthians 3, 18. But we all with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of
the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the spirit of the
Lord. What's that unveiled face, friends? Remember the veil tore when Christ died on the cross.
We can come into the holy of holies now. There's no veil in front of our face. We're not seeing,
you know, we're not kept out. We can go in. We can go in through his presence.
Right, so I want you guys to do this this week. Think of one challenge you have in your life.
I'm going to get to my favorite scripture for the last 10 minutes. Hold on. I want you to think of
one challenge that you have in your life right now. All of us have a challenge. What's your
challenge? Think of it right now. I want you to decide what it is, and I want you going back and
changing it later. Think of one challenge that you would like to not be a challenge,
and then I want you to ask Holy Spirit to show you a verse in the scripture that applies to that.
It doesn't even have to talk directly about it, friends. It just applies to it. In some way,
shape, or form, it applies, and then I want you to write that scripture down.
Okay, I want you to write it down. I don't want you to type it in your phone. I want you to get
a piece of paper and a pen, and I want you to write that scripture down on a note card, however,
because you're going to take it with you. Then I want you to immediately declare it out loud
three times. Why three, Jackie? It's not a magic number, friends, although it is. I mean,
the number three is very important in scripture, but I'm not doing it as some kind of ritual.
I'm just doing it because of repetition. Friends, repetition. What did Jesus say?
If you continue in my word, you will know the truth, and it will make you free. This is about
repetition. So declare it out loud three times, and then I want you to commit
to living that verse that week.
And maybe you'll keep that verse for the next week.
But I want you to commit to aligning your thoughts,
your words, your actions to that verse.
Remember that verse is being birthed
out of a challenge that you have.
Remember what God said to me?
He said, Jackie, who do you belong to?
I belong to you, God.
Okay, who do your problems belong to?
They belong to me, God.
I was telling the truth.
They belong to me.
I created them, they're mine.
I take ownership of these problems, God.
And he said, okay, Jackie, well, if you belong to me,
then everything that pertains to you belongs to me,
including your problems.
And guess what?
I don't have any problems.
Boop, mic drop.
I don't have any problems.
Come on, y'all, we gotta get into alignment.
All right, so if we want to live in the supernatural,
we have to live in scripture.
I know that all of you guys know the parable of the sower,
especially those of you that have gone through heart work.
We talk about it extensively in there.
But that word, when we get it in our heart, it's a seed.
Depending on what kind of ground your heart is,
that's going to be whether or not it sticks, right?
So we have to continue to do the heart work
so that this truth can overtake the lies.
We want fruit in our hearts born of the seed of God's word.
We do want that.
But the seed in your heart,
the word in your heart is a seed, I should say,
but the word in your mouth is a sword, friends.
So you can't just meditate on it in your heart.
You have to speak it out loud.
And I believe that so many of you
are going to begin to get supernatural clarity.
You're like, what about all of us, Jackie?
Well, not all of you are gonna do this.
I'm just being honest.
Supernatural clarity, protection, peace, breakthrough,
as we all begin to live in, not just visit the word of God.
So Father, we pray right now
that you would impart to us a hunger for the word,
that you would impart to us a hunger
for quickened revelation,
that you would impart to us the grace to be bold
and to be obedient when we see your word, Father,
that we would take quick action on your word, Lord,
so that we can live as supernatural people in the earth.
Father, we thank you for your word.
We thank you, Lord, that we have access to it.
Because of the countries that we live in,
we have access, full access to your word, Lord,
and to whom much is given, much is required.
And so, Father, we're asking now
that you would give us a holy reverence, Father,
that you would give us a joy to get in your word,
because we can.
And so, Lord, we just declare that in Jesus' name, amen.
All right, I have six minutes to talk to you
about my favorite scripture, Psalm 91.
If you wanna go there, go there.
You guys, there's been so many times in my life
where I had to live in these scriptures,
live in these scriptures,
that I couldn't go according to my reality,
but according to the reality of these scriptures, okay?
And yesterday, when you guys prayed for me on Faith Friday,
there were 91 of you on that call
for a great length of time,
enough that it stood out to me,
and God reminded me, hey,
you don't have to be out here on your own
in this situation.
You can come up under my protection.
He reminded me of the previous times
when I lived in this body of scripture.
Because what happens, friends?
Well, we're out of trial, we're out of chaos.
It happens to all of us.
We get busy, we get distracted,
and because we're not in pain,
we don't do these habits anymore.
Amen?
Come on, just be honest.
It's true.
And friends, the biggest enemy of your ability
to live a supernatural life is just distraction,
and mine as well, all of us.
All of us, all of us, all of us.
Okay, so we know that we live in uncertain times.
Friends, I've stopped watching the news
because it's full of sickness and violence
and instability and all the things,
and I'm an intercessor, I'm an empath,
and that really turns me out.
It really turns me upside down.
I can't shake it off like a lot of people can,
and it's not that I wanna be ignorant
of what a mess the world is in
and live in my own little peace bubble,
but hey, if God wants me to know about it,
he'll let me know.
I don't need to put that in front of my face.
What I do need to put in front of my face
is the word of God.
And Psalm 91 is God's blueprint
for supernatural security, friends.
In these uncertain times, if you feel scared,
if you feel afraid, if you feel uncertain,
you know, this is not just poetry, the book of Psalms.
This is a covenant invitation in 91, Psalm 91.
Right?
So let's talk about it.
I'm going to break it down real quick.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High.
Friends, that key word there is just like the word abide in John 15.
Dwell.
It means to live.
It means to remain.
It means to abide.
You know, you can switch those words out.
They're synonyms.
It doesn't mean to visit occasionally.
It means to abide.
How do we abide in the secret place of the Most High in Scripture?
Coming into a secret place, coming into the Holy of Holies, coming into a place of intimacy
with Him.
Got to do that.
Friends, you're not too busy to do that.
That's the main thing.
Let's keep the main thing the main thing.
All right?
So don't visit God.
We're not paying Him a visit like the neighbor.
We're dwelling with Him through His Word.
That's how we're going to do it.
All right?
And then verses three through six are the coverage.
Okay.
What is He promising?
If we dwell in the secret place of the Most High, He'll protect us from traps.
What are those?
Those are the attacks of the enemy, the fowler's snare.
He'll deliver us from deadly pestilence.
The only kind of immunization you need is the Word of God.
Now, I'm not saying don't get immunizations.
Don't write in and say, oh, Jackie doesn't believe in faxes.
No, no.
All right?
I'm just to play on words, friends.
You do whatever you have peace to do.
See, this is where God will lead you about what you need.
Not everyone needs the same thing.
And that's why we should stay out of each other's business.
What's right for you might not be right for me.
If Holy Spirit's leading you to do something, then I honor you in your Holy Spirit-led decision,
and I don't have any right to judge that.
Right?
That's important.
All right.
Activation for you guys here is ask if you're dwelling or you're visiting God.
Ask yourself that.
Am I dwelling in the Word or am I just visiting it?
All right?
That's important.
All right.
So those of you that have night terrors, you got all kinds of intrusive thoughts during
the day, Psalm 91 is going to be your refuge.
Okay?
It's promising to protect us, protect us from these things.
Faith is not the antidote to fear, friends.
I mean, it is.
Faith is the opposite of fear because faith is a byproduct of love, right?
And fear is the opposite of love.
We already know that fear is the only byproduct of the kingdom of darkness, just so you know.
Everything else comes from fear, hatred, all the things that we're like, oh, that's the
opposite of love.
No.
Fear is the opposite of love.
And all of its byproducts, all of its sawdust is all those other bad things.
Okay?
And then let's just go down because we only have one minute left.
This verse, God's personal list of what He will do is He will rescue us, He will protect
us, He will answer our prayers, He will be with us in trouble, He will deliver us, He
will honor us, He will satisfy us with a long and abundant life, He will show us His salvation
in the land of the living.
And friends, it says it only hinges on one thing from us because we love Him, right?
What's the Bible say?
If you love me, you'll do what?
Keep my commandments.
Where's that?
That's being in the word.
That's understanding God's way of doing things.
It's not legalistic, friends.
It's not a list of rules.
It's being in the word and understanding God's character and understanding what comes into
alignment.
It's that divine alignment.
So remember, the protection in the scripture is not automatic, it's covenantal.
Fear is definitely the enemy of faith, though.
So while faith is the antidote to fear, fear is the enemy of faith.
And you can't claim promises that you don't believe, friends, and so that's why you got
to get into the word and you've got to meditate on it until you believe it.
God's promises are not going to come without process and they're also not going to come
without presence.
You got to be in the presence of God.
So I made a quick cheat sheet here and I'm just going to read it to you really quickly
because we're at time.
Here's the, here's the, here's our part.
Remember how we say we got to do our part and then God will do His part?
Okay, I'm ending with this right now.
Here's our part.
If we dwell, remember that word means to abide, it means to be in there, not just visiting,
in the secret place of the Most High.
If we're living in ongoing intimacy with Him, He promises that we will be under His shadow.
What is that?
That means a constant covering and safety.
If we, here's our part again, if we say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress, my
God and Him I trust, then He promises to deliver us from traps and hidden dangers.
If we make the Lord our dwelling place, then He protects us from the daily pestilence.
If we set our love on God, then He covers us with His feathers and the safety that's
under His wings.
If we know His name, which what does that mean?
That means know Him, spend time with Him.
If we truly understand His nature and character, then His faithfulness will be a shield and
protection from every attack.
And if we call upon Him in prayer and we depend upon Him, we will have no fear in the night
or in the day.
will surround us even when others are falling all around us.
We'll have angelic protection assigned to us,
victory over all the enemy,
trampling the lions and serpents.
We will have that rescued in trouble,
answered when we call.
Presence always, we'll always feel his presence.
He'll deliver us and honor us
and give us long life and salvation.
Friends, this is not a situation where,
okay, you know, we have to do all this,
it's about works, and then God will give us this.
No, these are all things that happen
when you're in relationship with God.
All the things that are our part,
those conditions, so to speak,
all those things happen when we just dwell in his presence.
Okay, this is not legalism.
We dwell in his presence.
We've been invited in, the veil is torn.
We have an open invitation, not just to visit,
but to dwell, how?
Through the word in our heart,
through the word in our heart,
through practicing his presence
and spending time with him
and going to him first when there's trouble.
And then we'll have all of these things
that he has said we can have.
We'll have all of them.
They will be with us.
Friends, they're already with us.
You understand that, right?
But we're not activating them.
You have access to all this stuff already,
but you're not activating it.
It's all around you, but you're not activating it.
It's like living in a dark house
when all you need to do is just turn on a light switch.
It's been given to you
at the free and finished work of the cross.
Jesus paid the price for you and as you.
And now it's time for us to start living
in the authority that we can live in
by activating God's word in our hearts.
That's all we gotta do.
So Father, I thank you so much.
Help us all to activate,
activate, activate, activate, activate, Lord.
Help us to activate.
Instead of going by our feelings, help us to activate.
Help us to begin to believe your word,
not just to speak it.
The more that we speak it, Lord,
let us start believing it.
Let it make its home in our hearts
in a way that we've never experienced before,
so we can start living in the supernatural
and not just talking about it.
In Jesus' name, amen.
I love y'all.
See you soon.
