Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
There's lots of new faces.
We have lots of new people that have joined the movement during our anniversary month.
And so welcome to all of you.
I am so excited to have you in the program, in the movement, in the anointing, in the
grace that God has covered this movement with, and you are going to have massive breakthrough.
Supernatural Saturday is the one day a week where we all gather together, regardless of
what phase you're in in this program, and we look to heaven.
What is the current prophetic reality?
God talked to us.
What are you doing?
What are you doing behind the scenes in that unseen realm that we can't always see?
Some of you are seers.
Some of you visit there a lot more often than the rest of us.
That's awesome.
You see the angels.
You see the stuff.
I have friends like that.
I, unfortunately, have only seen angels a couple of times in my life, and it was more
of a vision and less of an actual tangible situation.
But some people visit there a lot.
But in that realm, in that unseen realm that's all around us, friends, it's not up in the
sky somewhere off in the distance.
It's right here, right now, all around us, the second and third heavens.
We just can't see it, but it can see us.
It's important that you understand that.
We can't see it unless you're a person who's gifted with that seeing ability, but it can
see us.
So all your loved ones that have gone on, the people that you miss, the people that
have died in Christ, they can see you.
They can see you.
That might make you uncomfortable when you're doing things that maybe you don't want people
seeing you.
Now, I don't know how often they can see us, and I don't know in what context they can
see us.
They're removed from the idea of what life on earth is kind of about.
So it doesn't hit the same way when you're like, let's say, taking a shower or going
to the bathroom.
So let's not worry about that.
The details are not important.
What's important is, is that we are surrounded by a family of faith.
What's important is, is that there's a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on.
What's important is that we are not even a heartbeat away from divine intervention.
God is with us.
We are in him.
In him, we move and we live and we have our being.
Very important that we understand that.
So what is the reality of that other space?
That is what Supernatural Saturday is all about, because we don't want to plug into
just what our five senses can give us on earth.
We want to plug into that sixth sense of what is God doing?
What does he want us to know today?
And that's what Supernatural Saturday was born out of, and it continues to deliver a
lot of supernatural power for us to walk in God's reality instead of our own.
And so today we have a lot of different thoughts.
It's going to be a grab bag of thoughts this morning, because, you know, when I wake up
in the morning, I think I know what I want to do.
I think I know what God wants to say, and then he'll just throw in whatever he wants.
So let's look to heaven.
Father God, we're so thankful that we come together, we come together on this first day
of November.
Wow, it's a new season, it's a new month, we're in a new year, 5786.
We thank you for this year, Lord.
We thank you God that we're headed into another new year celebration just in a couple months.
We're headed into the holiday seasons.
We're headed into family season.
We're headed into winter season for a lot of us.
Father, we just thank you that you are good and that you know our times and seasons and
that in every season you desire to bless us, in every season you desire to promote us,
in every season you desire to lead us and guide us.
And so this morning, as we press in and look to you together in unity, we ask God that
you would not just be in our midst, but that you would give us downloads and revelations,
encouragement, whatever it is that each and every one of your sons and daughters need
this morning.
Let them receive it and believe it in Jesus name, amen.
All right, when I woke up this morning, the very first thing, even as I was kind of rolling
around in the night, as us menopausal women will do, as I was rolling around in the night,
waking up every hour or so, I kept having the idea that the smallest changes eventually
reap the biggest benefit.
And so I just want to release that over someone who's overwhelmed by everything that needs
to get done.
There's some big changes that you need to make in your life, but big changes start with
small changes, small things that you do differently.
If you try to eat the whole elephant, you're going to fail.
You have to eat the elephant one bite at a time.
And so for whoever needs to hear that and receive that this morning, instead of trying
to figure out the whole thing.
Get it, I'm a big thinker.
And when you're a big thinker,
a lot of times big problems will seem insurmountable
and then you'll just get super discouraged
because you're trying to find a big solution
to a big problem.
But big problems are solved by a bunch of small solutions
that we do faithfully.
Amen?
Amen.
And so that A1C score on your last blood work
that says you're pre-diabetic,
it starts with just taking more steps every day,
moving that body that God gave you because you can.
Right?
It starts with not buying at the grocery store
those chips or those cookies.
It starts with small changes.
Okay, this time when I go to the grocery store
and I put in my grocery order to Instacart,
I'm just not going to order that.
I'm not going to have it in the house.
I don't walk, every day I don't move my body every day.
I sit around a lot.
I work remotely or I work at a desk job.
I don't walk a lot.
So at lunchtime, instead of going down to the cafeteria
and just sitting there, I'm going to walk.
I'm going to pack my lunch
and I'm going to walk at lunchtime.
It's a small change and that small change will add up
and it will add up and it will add up and it will add up.
My husband just started skipping a couple meals,
fasting actually, started employing fasting
and he lost 10 pounds.
It's like, wow, must be nice to be a man.
Praise the Lord.
You ladies, if you know, you know.
These men, they're like,
well, I'm going to skip my snack this week.
Oh, look, I lost 10 pounds.
We love them.
Bless them, Lord.
Bless them.
But small changes are going to yield the biggest results.
And so I want to encourage someone with that this morning
because I think that we get very overwhelmed
and then what happens is we shut down
and we don't do anything.
So don't shut down.
Do what you can.
Do what you can and give it to the Lord.
Remember, he's the loaves and fishes God.
Do what you can, even if you think it's a little bit
and consecrate it to the Lord.
Say, Lord, I heard what you said.
I need to be doing this in my life.
So this is how I'm going to start.
This is what I'm going to do.
Okay, you told me I need to get rid of this debt.
This debt seems so overwhelming to me.
And I feel like I already don't have enough.
So I'm going to stop buying this Starbucks coffee this week
for the month.
And I'm going to take that extra $30
and I'm going to put it towards this debt.
You guys, you might think that's ridiculous
and it's like, oh wow, that's like, you know,
that's like eating an elephant with a little spoon.
Yeah, I get it.
I understand.
But I did the exact same thing.
When I was a stay-at-home mom
and my husband had a door-to-door cable sales job,
come on, stay with me, that he wasn't good at.
I'm just being real.
I'm just keeping it 100%.
And it was feast or famine.
And I was trying to figure out whatever I could figure out
to keep us with a roof over our head
and still be a stay-at-home mom.
So when the kids were at school,
like I was driving Uber and stuff.
Like this is when Uber first came out back in the day.
And I mean, just all kinds of different things.
And I will tell you, I promise you,
when I set my heart to believe
that we could be completely debt-free,
when I set my heart to believe that,
even though it seemed impossible
with the income that was coming in
and all that had to go out in bills,
it seemed impossible to be debt-free.
When I set my heart to believe that God made a way
and we were debt-free,
when I set my heart to believe that,
we were debt-free within a year.
God allowed all kinds of crazy things
to start coming my way.
All kinds of opportunities started happening.
And so if being debt-free is your desire
and the thing that God has put before you,
like, hey, yeah, you want to be married?
God's like, hey, let's tackle this debt.
Why go into marriage with all this debt?
Not that that disqualifies you.
Don't hear what I'm not saying.
And not that you can't get married when you still have debt.
You absolutely can.
But why, why, why?
Let's be out of debt.
And so if that's something that God has put on your heart
in this season, I feel like that must be
because Holy Spirit's taking us to this topic,
then I really want to encourage you
to ask God for his supernatural assistance
while you do whatever you can.
Again, give him some natural to put his super on.
Give him some natural to put his super on.
It can be the littlest thing.
You could think that it's ridiculous.
You could think, oh, how is this gonna help anything?
This is such a small amount.
Well, there's all kinds of stories in the Bible
when someone just did what they could
that was really small and God multiplied it.
Right?
What do you have left, lady?
Oh, I just have this little tiny cruise of oil.
Okay, I can work with that.
Give God something to work with.
Give him something to work with.
Amen?
All right, I hope that encourages you this morning.
So I wanna get to today's Supernatural Saturday teaching.
It's really powerful on my heart.
In fact, I was shedding a few tears
before this call started this morning
just thinking about this.
And I want to release over all of you
that once again, what I said about being surrounded
by this great cloud of witnesses,
there's a lot of people in the cloud that you don't know.
But I'm not talking about other people's relatives,
other people's ancestors, I'm talking about yours.
I want you to raise your hand if you think,
if you think that you are a first generation Christian
in your family, raise them up.
I'm the only person in my family that serves the Lord.
I'm the only person in my family that knows God.
You could think that you're the first person
in your family to receive Christ
or the other people in your family are,
yeah, they're kind of Christians, but in name only,
they don't live like Christians.
They don't really know God the way that you do.
Put up your hands, put up your hands, put up your hands.
Wow, it's not as many people as I thought.
So a lot of you guys come from what you would call
Christian family, which is great.
And you know the usual suspects in your family.
Even those of you that come from Christian families,
you know the people that have been alive
during your lifetime.
So maybe your grandparents,
maybe even your great grandparents were alive
for a little bit when you were a kid and you knew them.
And possibly they were church going folk.
They were God fearing folk and that's exciting and good.
And if you come from that kind of lineage, that's awesome.
But there were people even before them
that were friends of God.
Go ahead and put your hands down.
I wanna talk to you guys today about the fact
that we are all here right now
because somebody in our family line was a friend of God.
That's why we're here.
And yes, we're friends of God too.
And I was singing that song by Israel Houghton today.
I'm a friend of God.
He calls me friend.
That means more to me than anything in this world.
More than anything in this world is the fact
that God knows that I am his friend.
That he can count on me in my limited capacity,
in my human capacity, in my frailty of my form,
which he knows so well.
The Bible says he knows the frailty of our form.
He made us.
He knows what we're made out of.
He understands.
And Jesus is our high priest that understands
even better what we're made out of
because he was made out of the same stuff.
He was here on earth.
He understands the pool of the flesh.
He understands the frailty of our form.
And so anytime that you just get really discouraged
because you are dealing with all kinds of temptation
to doubt, to be in unbelief,
temptation possibly to be in sin in some way,
you can go to Jesus
because he understands the pool of the flesh.
He understands discouragement.
He understands all of those things.
He was fully man, fully human, and fully God,
but without sin.
And so it's important that we understand
that he understands us.
He's our high priest.
He's our intercessor.
He is.
So we're here
because somebody was a friend of God before us.
And guess what?
Our great, great, great, great, great grandchildren,
if Jesus should tarry and not fully establish
his kingdom on earth, on the new earth,
and they're going to be living in the blessings
of your relationship with God.
I want you to get ahold of that.
God has promised,
see if you guys can remember the scripture,
he has promised to visit the iniquity
of a generation on a generation.
That's great, whatever.
But he also has promise,
and a lot of people are really focused
on generational curses,
and that's the purpose of today's Supernatural Saturday.
Do you understand that the generational blessings of God
are much greater than the generational cursings?
Do you guys understand that?
Why don't you just sit with that for a second?
For those of you that are trying to find all the demons
that live in your family line.
I'm going to the scripture right now so we can read it.
So in Exodus it says,
but I will show love to a thousand generations
of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Thousand generations.
God promises to bless generations for faithfulness.
In fact, there's a scripture in the Bible that says that
it will no longer be true.
Well, it will no longer be a true saying in Israel
that the parents have eaten sour grapes
and the children's teeth have been set on edge.
Every person will answer for their own wrongdoing
is what that scripture is saying.
But God has promised that he will bless us
and he will multiply us
and he will multiply our descendants.
He will multiply and show his love to a thousand generations
of people who love him and keep his commandments.
Now, originally in the Old Testament,
it said that he would visit the iniquity of the fathers
on the children,
just to the third or fourth generation
of those that hate him,
but that he would bless to a thousand generations,
those that love him.
And of course we know
because of the finished work of the cross
that all of those curses are broken.
We don't have to walk in what other people walked in
if we don't want to when it comes to sin and iniquity,
we don't have to.
There are some people who just continue in the same way
as their people, their fathers, so to speak.
It doesn't have to be your father, it could be your mother,
but you know, that's just a term, your fathers.
But you don't have to because the prison door is open.
The prison door is open.
I was talking to a friend yesterday
whose father was an alcoholic and he's passed on now.
But she was talking to me about a moment
when she realized that she herself
was becoming an alcoholic.
And she was like, no, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna choose that.
We have the power of choice.
We have the power to choose
if we are gonna walk in the ways of Christ
or we're gonna walk in the ways
of the fallen ancestry of our family.
But I wanna talk about that today
because there's a lot of talk about generational curses,
but there's really not a lot of talk
about generational blessings.
And before you disqualify yourself from this talk today,
I just wanna let you know that in that cloud of witnesses,
there's all kinds of people that you do not know
from your family.
You do not know them, you have never heard their name.
You don't know who they are.
You're part of that lineage and that line,
just like you have been grafted into the lineage of Christ.
You're also part of the blessings of Christ,
that lineage, that legacy.
As Christians, we're part of a new bloodline,
but I wanna talk about your earthly bloodline.
You might think that it's full of liars, cheaters,
users, abusers, losers, that's good, I understand.
And those might be the people that you know about,
but you don't know about the people that came before them.
And I want to submit to you today
that you are here where you are,
reaching for God because someone in your lineage
was a friend of God.
And I want you to step into the full inheritance
of whoever those people or person was,
the covenant fulfillment.
I believe that we're not only generational curse breakers,
but we are covenant fulfillment partners.
Do you believe that?
I believe that.
And I don't know about you,
but I wanna walk in all of the blessings
of the people that prayed and interceded
and trusted God that came before me,
even if I never know their name till heaven.
We're not accidents, friends, we're not random.
We're not just the total of our parents' DNA,
the result of circumstances.
A lot of you were told that you were oopsie daisies,
that you were not meant to be here.
While your parents may not have been expecting you,
but God always was expecting you.
He knew you before the foundation of the earth.
And you are the continuation of a covenant.
I want you to get that inside of your heart this morning.
You are the continuation of a covenant.
I want you to speak that out loud.
I am the continuation of a covenant.
I am, whether I'm the continuation of the Abrahamic covenant where God has promised
the descendants, because remember, we are grafted in to Israel.
We are the wild branch that has been grafted in, all of us that are Gentiles and not Jews.
But we are a living extension of the promises that God has made to people that have come
before us.
And the people that come after you, they are going to be the living extension of the promises
that God has made to you.
Some of the promises you're going to fulfill on this earth, but can I tell you that some
of the promises that you're going to fulfill on this earth are not even the ones that God
has promised you.
They're the ones that God promised someone who came before you.
For whatever reason, it didn't happen in their lifetime.
It doesn't matter.
You are going to be the fulfillment of that.
Someone in your bloodline said yes to God.
You might know who you think it is.
It could be a praying grandmother.
I had a praying grandmother.
Now my grandmother wasn't perfect.
I just want to make sure that I preface that.
She just passed away a couple years ago, almost 91 years old, lived a nice full life, passed
away pretty much of natural causes.
And she was an intercessor and she came to know Christ in her forties.
And so for at least 50 of those 90 years, she was a praying woman.
Now she wasn't necessarily a nice woman all the time.
And in the first 40 years before she knew Jesus, she had made a lot of mistakes with
her kids, her six children.
My mother was one of those children.
And that left a lasting mark on those kids.
Most of them are actually not alive.
A lot of them passed away before she passed away.
We never want to outlive our children.
Amen.
We don't.
And so when you think of the person right now that you know was a Christian and they
were a praying person, I don't want you to disqualify them from being a friend of God
simply because they weren't perfect.
Look at the Bible.
Look at all the characters there.
Not perfect people, friends.
That is not a qualification to be a friend of God is to be a perfect person.
So it may be your grandmother.
It could be an aunt or uncle, a great grandma or grandpa, someone who faithfully served
the Lord.
Maybe they went to church.
Perhaps they didn't have the revelation that you have about the kingdom of God.
They were just someone who was just a faithful Catholic or a faithful Methodist or Lutheran
or whatever their denomination was.
And they, they walked in all the light that they knew.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't because I believe that all of us are here today because somebody in our family
was a friend of God.
We are, we are marked.
We are marked people.
You were marked by the time that you were in your mother's womb, you were already marked.
I just met a homeless guy the other day.
Some of you heard me talking about him.
God told me his name before he told me his name.
I said, God, what is this man's name?
I said, I feel something.
Yes.
I see homeless people every day.
I live in Austin, Texas.
It's warm here and homeless people live here specifically because it doesn't really have
a, you know, a cold, a cold season.
Even in the winter time, it's pretty mild outside.
So we have a huge homeless and camper population, transient homeless population, and it really
affects me.
I do feel like God has given me a burden for homeless people and also a mandate on my life
to do something about it.
Maybe not for everyone, but for someone.
And I've worked with the homeless for years and years back in my first social work, social
service career in my twenties.
And this homeless guy caught my attention in a way that nobody has caught my attention
in a long time.
And I could tell he was marked.
He's marked.
And I asked the Lord, what's his name?
And he said, his name is James.
And when I finally got to talk to this guy, because he's at an intersection that's very
busy and I haven't been able to really slow down enough to talk to him, just like hand
him a few bucks out the window and just keep going.
But when I did get a chance to talk to him, I asked him what his name was and he said,
my name is James.
And so he is marked by heaven.
He is marked by heaven.
Sometimes when I talk to him about getting help and getting an ID and getting a place
to live inside before the weather turns, he said that he would love all those things,
that he wants to be off the streets.
He does not want to live on the streets.
He is not, he is not actively addicted to any drugs.
He's on a drug that helps.
helps you to not be on drugs, and he wants to be off the streets.
And then he said to me, I have been praying that someone would help me.
I've been praying that God would send someone.
And once again, marked by God.
Why?
Because someone in James' bloodline said yes to God.
That's why.
We see it in the book.
Let me give you some scripture foundations for this.
We see in different scriptures, but especially in the book of Kings, I want you to go there
and read.
It's kind of a boring book in, you know, first and second Kings for a lot of people.
It's just like, okay, it's just like little synopsis of different Kings and their reigns.
But you'll notice that some of them walked in the ways of their fathers and some of them
walked in the ways of their father, right?
Their father, their father in heaven.
Some of them walked in the ways of their fathers.
Their father before them was a wicked king.
You know, he went away from God's ways.
He built altars to false gods, all the things.
And then you'll see that they'll, they'll raise up a righteous king.
You see that?
But you also see terminology where God says, because of this servant of mine, because of
this friend of mine, I will have mercy on these people.
So in second Kings 8, 19, we see nevertheless for David, for David's sake, the Lord would
not destroy Judah for he promised him to give him a light and to his children forever.
Do you see that?
Wow.
You guys, my brother, my brother, Jake, Jacob Daniel, that's his name, who is roaming out
here 30 years on the streets, living in his car, you know, mentally unsound.
He should have died many, many, many, many times.
He's been in predicaments that like, for instance, he fell off a cliff in Colorado when we were
in our twenties and he had already, you know, gone into, descended into mental illness.
He was running from the aliens on drugs, messed up.
And he didn't know where he was or what he was doing.
He was out there to be a snowboard instructor.
So he understands the mountains and all the things.
But he was so out of his mind in that moment that he was just running, running, running,
paying attention that he literally ran off the side of a mountain and he should have
plummeted to his death.
He was 23 years old.
But as he was falling to his death, he said to me, he told me this himself.
He said, Jackie, a song popped in my head that mom used to sing to us when we were little.
And I just started singing it.
And I got caught on a tree root coming out of the side of the mountain.
He got stuck on the side of the mountain until he could be rescued.
And that song was, I am persuaded to believe that nothing could ever separate me from that
wonderful love of God.
And you will recognize that as Romans 8, won't you?
You will recognize that as scripture.
But you know what?
When we were kids, we just tried to sing that as fast as we possibly could to see who could
sing it faster.
And none of us, I don't even think my precious mom knew that it was scripture.
It was just a song that she was taught when her mom became a Christian, when my mom was
a teenager.
My mom was already a teenager, already leaving the house when her family became Christians.
Her mom and dad who had been fighting, brawling drunks now had found religion.
And she was already on her way out because of all the abuse and craziness of that household
before they had found quote unquote Jesus.
And that was just a song that she had heard and she thought it was fun and she taught
it to us.
But my brother was literally professing Romans 8 as he was falling down that mountain.
And he was caught by a tree branch and he is alive still.
I would love to tell you that he's in his right mind and in a house and has a family.
And I can't tell you that it's not true.
He does have twin children that were raised in debauchery because they were raised in
a tent by a homeless person.
But that also is an amazing opportunity for the Lord because those children are marked.
I just heard from my niece last night.
She said, and Jackie, are you up?
And I said, yes, I'm up.
What's going on?
She's like, I'm having anxiety.
I need help.
She knows where to reach out to.
She knows who to reach out to.
I heard from my nephew yesterday, they're both in college right now because my little
brother made sure that they made it there.
Not my brother that I'm talking about, my younger brother.
And so the bottom line is, is that we all are marked by heaven.
There's so many things.
I know that you think a lot of bad things have made it through the hedge of protection,
but you have no idea what was trying to come through.
You really don't.
Let's keep reading these scriptures.
First Kings 15, four and five.
But for David's sake, the Lord, his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem because David did
what was right in the sight and the eyes of the Lord.
You know that when you do the right thing, I know you think that it only benefits you,
but it doesn't.
It's all the people that you're connected to and all the people coming after you.
I know that there's this selfish me generation out there that thinks, Hey, you know what?
Look away.
It's my life.
I'll do whatever I want with my life.
It doesn't concern you.
It doesn't affect you.
But friends, our lives affect everybody.
They don't just affect us.
They affect everybody.
They do.
They affect society.
They affect our community.
They affect our families, past, present, future.
It's a ripple effect that you cannot stop.
Whether you want to be connected or not, you are connected.
You are connected.
Second Kings 22 and 23, we see Josiah, David's descendant.
What did he do?
He rediscovered the book of the law and he tore down the idols.
He tore down the idols.
And some of you are these people, you're the Josiahs of your lineage.
No one before you that you know of walked in the ways of the Lord.
No one that you knew during your lifetime and your family walked in the ways of the
Lord.
They didn't.
They didn't have to be bad people maybe, but they weren't necessarily godly people.
And so you don't have any remembrance of anyone telling you about God, talking about the things
of the Lord, talking about the kingdom of heaven.
You don't have any remembrance of ever being taken to church, anything like that, nothing
at all, zero.
This is Josiah.
Holy Spirit literally led Josiah to rediscover the Torah, to rediscover the books of the
law, rediscover who he is basically.
And what did he do with that information?
He tore down the idols that the people before him had built, his fathers and his grandfathers,
the Kings that had come before him.
And he walked in the ways of David, someone he never knew.
He walked in the ways of David.
And some of you are the Josiahs of your family line.
You've decided to follow the Lord, even though no one else has.
You've decided to restore your family lineage and true worship.
And that's amazing.
James 2, 23, Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.
And he was called the friend of God.
Isaiah 61, 4, they shall build up the ancient ruins.
This is all of us friends as descendants of Jesus.
We will build up the ancient ruins.
We shall raise up the former devastations.
We shall repair the ruined cities and the devastations of many generations.
We have called to be these people.
Jesus said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
He sat down in the place that only the Messiah was supposed to sit in the temple.
You guys know that Jesus did this.
You understand what he did?
He came to the temple where the Jews had been doing their Jew thing for a long time.
And there was a seat, a place of honor that was supposed to only be occupied by the Messiah
when he came.
They were waiting for Meshuach.
They were waiting for Messiah.
And no one had ever sat in that seat because hello, the Messiah hadn't come yet.
But he came into the temple.
He opened the ancient writing.
He quoted Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 61.
And then he sat down in the seat for the Messiah.
Whoa, now you know why they killed him.
Now you know.
If you didn't know, now you know.
That was bold, you guys.
That's bold.
That's my King Jesus.
Woo.
Come on.
Sat down.
Said this is me that you've been waiting for.
Here I am.
And friends, he opened, he opened the gate for all of us coming after him to say, hey,
we're restorers of the breach.
We're the repairers of the breach.
We're the restorers of paths to dwell in.
We're going to build the ancient room.
Not just of our families, but of the family of God.
We are going to rebuild the ancient ruins.
That's us.
That's Isaiah 61.
That's you.
Deuteronomy 6, 10 through 12.
When the Lord your God brings you into the land
with great and good cities that you did not build
and houses full of good things that you did not fill
and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant.
I just release that over you.
I believe that we're gonna live in houses
that we did not build
and we are going to enjoy the fruit of labor
that we did not do
because we are the fulfillment generation.
We are a fulfillment generation, friends.
And the seeds that we have planted
are for a future generation
and they're going to be a fulfillment generation.
There is no reason why people should live
in the desolations of generations.
Jesus has already been here.
He has already been here.
Messiah has come.
He has sat in the seat of honor.
He has hung on the cross of shame.
He has ripped the veil in two.
It is time, friends.
We're not waiting for a Messiah.
We are his descendants.
It's our time.
Now, I wanna talk about the power of being a friend of God.
And if you don't see yourself like this,
I want you to ask Holy Spirit to show you
what inside of your little orphan heart needs to go
because we're not just children of God.
We are friends of God.
And I have adult children.
I wanna tell you that they're still my children.
I look at them and I still see them
as young people and babies.
And I still see that and I love them.
In fact, last night I got into the car
after leaving my youngest daughter's house
with her husband.
I left her house and I got in the car
and it's filled with warmth in my heart
and joy because I love her.
She's my little nugget.
She's my little baby bagel.
But she's also 24 years old
and she's a powerful woman of God.
You know, for those of you that she leads prayer
on Thursdays here, you know, if you know, you know.
But I know because I have all adult children,
30, 28 and almost 25 years old.
And when they grow up, they're still your kids
but they're also your friends.
For those of you that have adult children,
you know what I'm talking about.
And we are friends of God.
We're not just his children.
He wants us to mature into a place
where he can share things with us.
And we can also be his friend.
Does God wanna be my friend?
Yes.
Yes, he does.
Now let's look at the friends of God here.
Not a title, it's kind of like a legacy
because Abraham wasn't perfect.
David was not perfect, but they were devoted.
And they loved God in a way that outlived them.
I love God that way.
I wanna be God's friend.
I want God to share things with me.
There's scripture in the Bible that says,
yeah, this is a mystery, but I share with my friends.
Like, yeah, there's a lot of people
that don't know this stuff,
but you know what, I share with my friends.
Do you want to be someone that God can share
the secrets and mysteries of the universe with?
I do.
And once again, it's not about being perfect.
Because when God finds a friend,
first of all, God's a really good friend.
You might've had a lot of bad friends.
I've had a lot of bad friends.
They weren't loyal, okay?
But when God finds a friend, he makes a covenant.
He makes a covenant with that friend.
And yeah, we're all part of the covenant that Jesus made.
And we're so thankful for Jesus.
But I wanna be a friend that has a covenant with God.
And guess what?
That covenant doesn't die when you do.
Because first of all, I wanna kind of spoiler alert,
you're not ever gonna die.
Now you are gonna leave this body.
There's a chance, there's a time for you to leave this body,
but Jesus took the keys of death and hell,
and there is no death anymore, okay?
So when you leave this body,
I don't even know why we call it dying,
because it really isn't.
It really is just truly a transition.
But when you leave this body,
this earthly covenant is not going to go away,
doesn't just disappear.
And the people that went before you,
their covenants with God did not disappear.
They actually fell upon you.
And he's gonna keep showing mercy for their sake to you.
So that's why some of us are still standing
even when others in our family line fell apart,
because someone had a friendship with God, right?
Someone did.
It's really important.
Really, really, really important.
Okay, so let's talk about this ripple effect.
You guys wanna talk about it?
Let's talk about it.
All right, so the Bible repeatedly says things like,
for David's sake, God did not destroy Judah.
It says things like that all throughout the Bible.
And even when the wicked kings rose up,
even when idolatry filled the nation,
God still remembered his friend David.
He did.
And that means something very important.
It means that God's mercy is greater
than people's rebellion.
I want you to remember that.
God's mercy is stronger than rebellion.
You can come from the most stubborn generation
of your family, the most stubborn generation
of your family, you could have been born
into that phase of your family,
but God will still chase you down
because of a friend that he made
two or three generations back.
Isn't that beautiful?
And don't you get around people,
around people that are what we call pre-believers,
you get around them and you can tell that they're marked.
You can tell that they're marked.
They may tell you that they've never been
to church in their lives.
They may tell you that no one in their family
went to church or, you know,
cause you're trying to talk to them about the Lord.
Maybe they're your coworker or maybe they're,
you know, the parent of one of your kid's friends,
whoever they are, but you can tell
that they're marked somehow.
Have you guys ever experienced this?
You're like, man, they don't know who they are,
but I can certainly see it.
I can see it.
And I want us to really just internalize the idea
that this is why God keeps bringing us back around to this
because that covenant friendship that we're carrying
has a generational impact
and God wants it to have an impact through you.
I know we always hear about how sin passes
through the generations, but so does friendship.
And friendship is stronger than failure.
Friendship and mercy is stronger than rebellion.
It is.
It's stronger than that.
I believe that God wants there to be a revival
of friends of God.
All throughout the Bible, we see the same cycle.
We see wicked people, then we see judgment,
then we see righteousness rising,
and then we see restoration.
But friends, we are a restoration generation.
The righteous King has already been here.
The Bible says by one man's sin, we all became sinners,
but by one man's righteousness, we all became righteous.
It's done.
It's a done deed.
And so instead of praying for a revival,
can we just go ahead and confess
that we're living in revival?
Now you can have a personal revival saying like,
no more idols in my house.
You can have a personal revival if you want to.
And friends, there's no junior Holy Spirit.
So if you have children, you have grandchildren,
we talked about Josiah just a few minutes ago.
He was only eight years old when he became King.
I just wanna let you know that.
Dude was eight when he became King.
And so your kids can get in on this revival now.
They can understand that they are friends of God now.
Your grandchildren can understand that.
Go ahead and be that mom, that dad, that grandparent
that tells the kids who they are,
their identity in an even greater way.
Go ahead and let them stand on your yes.
But I want you to understand that you're standing
on someone else's yes.
We are walking in grace that we didn't earn.
We're reaping harvests that we didn't plant.
And I believe that's gonna increase.
Harvest is gonna increase.
If we come into the understanding
of what we're teaching today,
I believe that God's gonna start showing you things
that were in your family line that no one has reaped,
but has been planted.
And now it's time to harvest those things.
We've been protected by prayers that we didn't pray.
That's spiritual inheritance.
And we all have it.
Even if you don't know who it came from.
So here's the next question and here's the activation.
What does that mean coming through you now?
You may have already known you were a friend of God,
but for some of us, this is a revelation
that we have to believe and receive.
We have to believe it and receive it.
Because when we walk with God as his friend,
it doesn't just change our life,
it's gonna alter our entire bloodline.
So let's talk about, what would it look like
for us to fulfill the mantles and the covenants
and the promises of the past generations?
What would that look like
for us to be the fulfillment generation?
Because we're not just benefiting from their faith,
we need to be fulfilling their faith.
to finish what they started, even if they just started it with a prayer.
I believe that my burden, my desire to help the homeless,
it doesn't come from me. It comes from someone in my past.
Has it ever occurred to you that the things that you like,
the things that you're drawn to,
that that's possibly part of some kind of mantle that you're carrying?
Huh? Did that ever occur to anybody?
Because every promise that God makes to people is eternal. It doesn't expire.
It doesn't. Now,
oftentimes we do have promises that God makes to us that are for a certain
season. And then you may not really like the fulfillment of that.
Maybe you didn't think that it really was kind of anticlimactic. It's like,
Oh, okay, God. But it still got fulfilled.
But it still got fulfilled. And it's just the beginning.
And so if you feel like you have some promises that haven't been fulfilled,
you need to start praying, Hey God, is this for me?
Is this for a future generation?
Is this something that you want me to believe and contend for,
for a future generation?
Or is this something that's going to be fulfilled during my lifetime?
Also take the other promises to God and say, okay,
do you want to add to these? Have these already been fulfilled,
but maybe in a way that I didn't recognize.
You really want to be a wise steward over your promises.
There are some promises that some,
I just had a friend pass away. I'm not part of his bloodline,
but we are part of the bloodline of Jesus together.
And he died at 50 years old. And it was really very, very shocking.
It was very shocking.
None of us expected it to happen and he was a great man of God.
He was carrying so much,
so much that was undone.
And for those of you that know Michael, you know who I'm talking about.
So when he passed away,
I had just been at a conference with him and he was the speaker and we were in
the green room. We were in the, you know, in the,
in the room where the people were and we were having dinner at the same time.
We were sitting at a table and I gave him a word from the Lord.
Now he's a prophet,
but I'm a prophet and I'm not intimidated by, you know,
more recognized prophets. And I gave him a word from the Lord.
And it was a powerful word and it was an instructional word.
And he died a couple of months later, y'all.
And I was so confused because the word was so detailed and it was so
instructional. And I was like, God,
I don't understand.
How, how is he going to die? When I just gave him this word, you know,
and I'm sure he had other words that were unfulfilled. And God said, that's okay.
You can have that word. And I was like, what? And he was like,
yeah. He said,
you gave him that word because you're carrying a part of it. Now you can have it.
That's your promise now. Wow.
Wow. Y'all. Wow.
He transitioned and what was left to do on earth,
which I will admit the word that I gave him,
I am kind of involved in that industry as well. And he received it.
He said it was a confirmation. He'd said he'd received other words like that.
It was a confirmation. It was very clarifying. And then boom,
he goes to heaven. And now I'm carrying the mantle. Come on.
That happened with Elijah and Elisha. You saw it in the Bible. It happened.
All that God is looking for is someone who he can show himself strong through
friends. That's the scripture says the eyes of heaven are roaming to and fro
throughout the earth.
Every moment looking for someone to show
to show God himself strong through his power,
his promise, his agenda. Will we be those people?
Can we be those people?
And then I want to end today to talking about Mephibosheth second Samuel nine,
if you want to go read about it, but once again, it's about someone
being in line to receive the blessings from a covenant.
So David, King David, when he came into kingship over Israel,
not just Judah, but Israel,
this is after Saul and Saul and Jonathan had been killed in the battle.
David said, is there anyone left of the house of Saul that I'm
may show them kindness because of my covenant with Jonathan.
Once again, we see a covenant friendship,
covenant loyalty.
The king, don't miss the typology of this.
The king was searching for someone to bless
because of a covenant that was made generations earlier,
or one generation earlier.
And so Jonathan had a son, but that son was crippled.
He actually became crippled by the sins of the fathers,
his grandfather, Saul.
Because of what Saul had done, Mephibosheth was suffering.
How many of you have suffered
because of the curses in your family?
The things, the sins of your fathers and mothers
and grandmothers and grandfathers.
God does not want it to be true
that you are suffering in curses
instead of being blessed in blessings.
It's time.
We are covenant restorers.
We are friends of God.
We are covenant fulfillment.
It's time for us to rise up.
So they went looking for Mephibosheth.
They found him in a place called Lodabar.
And that word means barrenness and shame.
What was he doing?
He was eating crumbs under some servant's table,
even though he was a son of the king.
So David invited him to the palace
to eat continually at his table.
But I want you to make sure
you read that story very carefully
because Mephibosheth had an orphan mindset
that made him incapable of receiving
what belonged to him by covenant.
And orphan mindsets will keep us
from receiving what belongs to us already by covenant.
You don't have to earn it.
You don't have to deserve it.
Mephibosheth saw himself as a beggar
Mephibosheth saw himself as a beggar.
He didn't see himself as worthy to sit at the king's table.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and clear this up for all of you.
You're not worthy.
And you also don't have to be.
If you're gonna spend your entire life trying to earn this,
then you are going to die as a beggar.
You will never earn the attention of God.
He gives it to you freely because you're his kid,
because you're his friend.
It's not about what you have done or have not done.
Your job is to believe and receive.
I'll never forget the day that God said to me
as I was reading in his word.
He said, Jackie, do you want what you're reading?
I was specifically reading John 10, 10.
And Jesus came that we might have life
and have it to the overflow.
He said, do you want that overflow life?
I said, oh yeah.
Do you wanna be fully alive?
Oh yeah, I do.
He said, okay, then you just have to learn
how to do one thing.
I was like, just one thing?
He's like, yes, just one thing.
I'm like, okay, what's the one thing?
And I'm expecting it to be something really hard.
Love your enemies, do this, do that.
He said, you have to learn how to receive
what you don't deserve.
Whoa.
That's it, Jackie.
That's all you have to be able to do.
You have to be able to receive what you do not deserve.
What you did not earn, what you do not merit.
Can you be a conduit of heaven?
Can I get to you and through you my blessings
without you stopping up the flow
because of needing to deserve it?
Well, friends, I think that we can answer the question
that I said yes to that.
And that's why we're all here in this movement.
Because I certainly don't deserve this, but here we are.
Are you gonna be a Mephibosheth?
Or are you gonna be a David?
Because David certainly didn't deserve
the stuff that was going on in his life.
He messed up royally.
Get that little pun there.
He messed up royally.
But the bottom line is, is that God continued to bless him.
In fact, when you read the scriptures,
it says that God didn't just bless him.
We just read the scriptures.
God blessed other people because of him.
For David's sake, for David's sake, for David's sake.
We see the same thing with Abraham.
And he also made mistakes.
So we are not gonna sit and load a bar under tables,
eating crumbs, friends.
We're also going to allow Holy Spirit
to show up in our lives and show up in our lives
We're also going to allow Holy Spirit
to show us where we have orphan mindsets.
Because the king is looking for you
because of promises that he made to your ancestors.
And he is saying, for your grandmother's sake,
for your great grandmother's sake,
for this person's sake, for that person's sake,
I'm bringing you into favor.
And someday when you're long gone in heaven
and join the rewards of covenant,
he's gonna say the same thing over other people.
But we cannot see ourselves.
through a small lens anymore because we are missing our seat at the table and it's already set for us.
We are not a leftover generation. We are the fulfillment generation. Say it over yourself.
I am the fulfillment generation. I am the generation that heaven has been waiting for
to fulfill the promises to my ancestors. I am the person heaven has been waiting for
to fulfill the covenant from my ancestors. I will rebuild the ancient ruins. I will raise up the
former devastations and repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. I am the
repairer of the breach. I am the restorer of paths to dwell in. It's not just poetic, friends, it's
prophetic. We are the generation God is using to restore what was lost, not just to our families
but to entire bloodlines, communities, nations, people groups. Now I want you to receive this
blessing. You're going to live in houses you didn't build. You're going to enjoy vineyards
that you didn't plant. You're going to inhabit lands that you didn't purchase. That's legacy.
And we're not trespassing, friends. We're inheriting. I did a post a long time ago,
maybe over a decade ago, that just said God's kids, we don't grind. We inherit.
We inherit. We're walking into spaces and places prepared for us by divine promise.
We're moving into blessings that belong to our bloodline. You might think that your bloodlines
broke as a joke, but they're not. They were royalty. They were royalty. All of us, we come
from royalty, friends. We come from heaven. And the blessings of our ancestors, they didn't fully
enter them, but we're going to enter them. We're going to bridge the generational gap.
We are. Say it over myself. I'm a repairer. I'm a restorer. I'm a rebuilder. Come on.
I'm a repairer. I'm a restorer. I'm a rebuilder.
All right. So if you believe this and you receive this today, I want you to picture yourself,
come on, close your eyes. And we'll activate this more tomorrow night for those of you that
come to activation. Picture yourself walking right now into everything, like into a place of spoils.
Okay. Like the King's palace, walking into a place of honor, sitting at the King's table,
I want you to see that right now. And I want you to see yourself surrounded
by every promise that was postponed or stolen.
For those of you that your family, all that runs your family is divorced. I want you to see just
married people at the table. I want you to just to picture your future generations. They're all
married. There's kids running around. No families broken up. No families broken up.
No families broken. No one's sick. For those of you that have had generational curses of sickness,
everyone's whole. No one's blind or lame or crippled. No one has diseases. Come on, y'all.
Bible says we can have heaven on earth. That's what heaven looks like.
And I want you to say this, Lord, repeat after me if you believe it. Lord, I receive
I receive every unfinished covenant, every unfulfilled word,
every dormant promise. Let it come alive in me.
Let it come alive in me. Now I want you, here's your homework and you can bring this to activation.
Ask Holy Spirit, what gifts, what assignments have been in my family but were never fully realized?
Write it down. I want you to pray into this. What gifts and assignments have been in my family,
but they were never fully realized? And where did they stop that I'm called to start again?
Where did they stop?
Where did they stop? And then I want you to pray this prayer. Lord, let every mantle that was
dropped be picked up in my hands and I will walk out what they dreamed of. I will not just honor
the legacy. I will extend it. Come on, you guys, you believe this? It's true. It's biblical.
All right, I'm just going to release. It's 10 o'clock. We're at the hour. I'm going to release
these declarations over you guys right now.
And you can repeat these after me if you want to and if you believe it. My generation is the
fulfillment generation. Come on. My generation is the fulfillment generation.
The king has remembered his covenant and he's looking for me. Come on. The king has remembered
his covenant and he is looking for me. I break agreement with every orphan thought and I take my
place at the table. Come on, friends. I carry the mantles.
I fulfill the covenants.
I complete the promises left in my family line.
I am a repairer of the breach
and a restorer of paths to dwell in.
I will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the desolations of many generations.
And I will live in houses I didn't build
and drink from vineyards I didn't plant
because legacy is my inheritance.
So Lord, we thank you for remembering the promises
that you made to our ancestors.
And we thank you for letting us be your friends, Lord.
Calling us friends, Lord.
Thank you for your yes, God, to us
and opening the door for us.
And today we say yes again.
We say yes to you as you say yes to us.
We come out of Lodobar.
We come out of lack and shame and small thinking
and we take our seat at your table, Lord.
Let every mantle, covenant, and promise
come to full expression
in the lives of your sons and daughters.
Make us repairers of the breach
and restorers of the paths that other people can dwell in.
Help us to build bridges that other people can cross
and come to you, Lord.
Let your mercy echo through our lives,
through our family line,
because of our friendship with you, Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen.
I love all of you.
Go be, go be the people that you are today.
And we'll see you soon.
