1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
All right.

2
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:06.680
Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

3
00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:11.320
If you're new and this is your very first Supernatural Saturday, please raise your hand.

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.440
I would love to see who has never been here before.

5
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:16.180
You've just joined the program.

6
00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:18.920
This is your first time with us on Saturday.

7
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.920
Anybody, anybody new?

8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.320
All OGs in here, huh?

9
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.000
About 87 people, 88 live right now.

10
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.840
We are starting about a minute early.

11
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:32.040
I know everyone rolls in here at the buzzer.

12
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:33.040
That's fine.

13
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.040
All right.

14
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:36.960
For those people that are going to be getting on and that are brand new to Supernatural

15
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.700
Saturday, welcome.

16
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.600
We are so glad to have you with us.

17
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.920
This is my favorite time of the week where we get to come together as a community and

18
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:45.920
look to the Lord.

19
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.560
We get to look to the Lord together, and there's so much power in that.

20
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.700
The Bible talks about what happens when people come into unity.

21
00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:59.600
Over and over and over again, it talks about what happens when people come into unity.

22
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:02.680
It talks about how there's a blessing there that's commanded.

23
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:05.160
It says the blessing is commanded where there's unity.

24
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:08.320
Is that powerful?

25
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:12.720
It's not just, oh, maybe there's a blessing or, you know, there might be a blessing.

26
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:16.440
No, God commands a blessing.

27
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.640
He commands it where there's unity.

28
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.680
And so we come in here, we're of the same mind, we're of the same spirit.

29
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.840
We're looking up to the same Father and asking for what?

30
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:28.840
Divine revelation.

31
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.800
We're asking for the same thing.

32
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.360
And so there's such power in that.

33
00:01:32.360 --> 00:01:34.380
And so that's what we do on Saturdays.

34
00:01:34.380 --> 00:01:40.800
We come here and I usually am the leader of Supernatural Saturday, but there's a lot of

35
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.920
audience participation and we just press in.

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.880
We press in together and we ask God to tell us what is the current prophetic reality of

37
00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:52.520
heaven.

38
00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.560
Every single one of you has a different reality going on in your life right now.

39
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.160
None of our realities are the same.

40
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.040
None of our circumstances, none of the details of our lives are the same right now.

41
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.880
We might have some similar details, but somewhere along the line of your details, there's going

42
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:13.000
to be a detail that somebody else doesn't have.

43
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.120
But all of our realities are not compared to the reality of heaven.

44
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.760
We want to live in the reality of heaven.

45
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.360
We don't want to live in our individual realities because truth, not relative truth, but absolute

46
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.120
truth always trumps facts.

47
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.200
Amen.

48
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.680
Absolute truth always is greater than whatever your reality is, whatever your facts are.

49
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.400
Everyone here has facts today.

50
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.160
Some of you might have a fact that you're single.

51
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:42.800
OK, that's a fact.

52
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.880
But the truth is that you've been created for partnership.

53
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.600
That means that if God spoke the end from the beginning, aren't you already married?

54
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:52.000
And I don't mean to Jesus.

55
00:02:55.760 --> 00:02:59.800
That's a wonderful one, yes, and we're all going to enjoy that throughout eternity, but

56
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.320
you are not married to Jesus on earth.

57
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:05.480
There's some crazy theology floating around that we're all already married to Jesus.

58
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.000
When Jesus came, the covenant that he brought made us all married to him.

59
00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:13.600
And so now we don't have to be part of the old covenant where we married each other.

60
00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:21.280
What? First of all, marriage came from the garden, not from the old cursed covenant.

61
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.240
It didn't come from the blood covenant because of sin.

62
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:26.560
It came from the garden.

63
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.040
It came from original design.

64
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.680
God made them, he made them male, he made them female, he brought them together, he

65
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.760
partnered them because two are better than one because they're better together because

66
00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:41.600
man, it was not good for him to be solitary or alone.

67
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:45.360
So if you're hearing this theology, please kick it out.

68
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.960
I know it sounds spiritual and so much of stinking thinking in the church does sound

69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.800
spiritual and it'd be easy to adopt it, but it's going to keep you stuck.

70
00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:00.440
It's going to keep you stuck.

71
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.040
And we don't want to be stuck because I believe that we're in a season of harvest.

72
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:08.600
I a little bit later today, I hope all of you signed up.

73
00:04:08.600 --> 00:04:12.360
If you didn't go to the resource pages on your app and you'll see where you can sign up

74
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:13.280
for the wisdom challenge.

75
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.399
I'm the guest today on the wisdom challenge right after this.

76
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.600
So I'll be leaving here a little early to go over there.

77
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.280
And my proverb that I've been assigned because it's the 10th day of January is

78
00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:29.200
Proverbs 10 and one of the scriptures in Proverbs 10 and I'm reading from the passion

79
00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:34.200
translation is know the importance of the season that you're in and a wise son you

80
00:04:34.200 --> 00:04:34.720
will be.

81
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:37.720
Guess what?

82
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.240
All of you are in a season of partnership.

83
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:42.320
That's why you're here.

84
00:04:42.760 --> 00:04:44.920
Now that doesn't mean it's going to happen next week or next month.

85
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.960
It just means you're in a season of it.

86
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.400
For those of you that showed up and signed up to be in the times and seasons that we

87
00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.040
did on January 4th with prophet Bethany Hicks, we learned that you can have different

88
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.920
seasons in different.

89
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.000
areas of your life. You can be in a summer season in your

90
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.420
business. You can be in a fall season, raising your kids, maybe

91
00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.840
even a winter season where they've gone off and now they're

92
00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:14.040
starting their own families and you feel like you're an empty

93
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.840
nest. You might kind of feel a little barren because what was

94
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:21.680
there is now not there. But you friends, I just want to let you

95
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.720
know you're never empty. Empty is an invitation. Empty is an

96
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.000
invitation to be filled. It's okay to have an empty space.

97
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.360
That's just giving God an invitation to fill that space.

98
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.080
So when kids grow up, they go off to college, they get married,

99
00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:40.640
they start their own households. Yes. Our mothers and fathers

100
00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:43.600
hearts really do hurt a little bit because we know that it will

101
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.240
never be the same again. And it won't. It'll be different. But

102
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.720
it can still be good. It can it can be different and good. Those

103
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:58.240
two things can be synonyms. Right? In some ways, it's even

104
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.560
better. Because now they're not eating all the food in your

105
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.560
fridge. Now they're not running up the light bill, leaving all

106
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:11.720
the lights on. Turn up the heat, turn up the air conditioning,

107
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.200
doing all the things that they do. They're not on your car

108
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:21.680
insurance anymore. They're not on your phone bill anymore. So

109
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.520
there can be some positive benefits to them having their

110
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:27.840
own lives. Right. And also one of the positive benefits is that

111
00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:29.880
they start to have families of their own. And they realize that

112
00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:34.040
you weren't so stupid after all. They realize that you weren't so

113
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.960
backwards or old fashioned after all, they realized that maybe

114
00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:40.440
you actually kind of knew some things. And so they started

115
00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:44.320
having a greater appreciation, hopefully for you in a lot of

116
00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:48.240
ways. So it's telling us to know our seasons and then we'll be

117
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.400
wise. Know your seasons and you will be wise. And I love that. I

118
00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:55.960
love that. So we need to know the season that we're in, and

119
00:06:55.960 --> 00:06:59.840
all of us are in a season of partnership. We're at different

120
00:06:59.840 --> 00:07:03.560
levels of that manifesting in our lives, but we're at a season

121
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.560
of that. And God wants us to understand that. And that's

122
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:10.000
what's so beautiful about this community and about even

123
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.720
Supernatural Saturday is we're coming in here in unity with

124
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.720
each other, understanding the season that we're in together.

125
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.360
Because you know what happens out there outside of this

126
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.440
community, you may have friends and family members that don't

127
00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:30.080
understand your desire for partnership. They don't

128
00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:34.040
understand your desire for marriage. They think you should

129
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.320
be over it by now. Some of you have already been married

130
00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:41.400
before. They're like, Hey, didn't you learn your lesson

131
00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:45.200
the first time? It's so funny, the things that people will say

132
00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:50.600
to us out of concern for us. And that's what today's

133
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.480
Supernatural Saturday is going to be about. But I want to go

134
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.560
back to how, you know, it's really important as we come

135
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:06.840
together, you know, that we know heaven's reality for us. So you

136
00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:09.520
might have a fact that you're single. But the truth, the

137
00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:11.920
absolute truth is that you've been created for partnership.

138
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.080
Another absolute truth in that area is that God gives us the

139
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:19.200
desires of our heart when we delight in him, which means the

140
00:08:19.200 --> 00:08:21.320
desires that are in your heart right now, as you've been

141
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.560
delighting in the Lord came from God, they didn't come from you.

142
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:28.120
They came from God. So that's another part of absolute truth,

143
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.000
because that's scripture and scripture is the absolute truth.

144
00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:34.080
Now we can't take scriptures and just make them mean whatever we

145
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.520
want them to mean. Can't just slap a scripture on it and make

146
00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:41.080
it mean what we want it to mean. But that is actually what that

147
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.480
scripture means. If you dig down into the ancient language that

148
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.440
that scripture is written in, it's saying when you delight in

149
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.360
the Lord, that word delight actually means consummation. So

150
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.720
that's the same thing that would happen when a husband and wife

151
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:59.080
come together in passion, and in intimacy, physical intimacy, and

152
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:04.800
they produce conception happens, and they have a seed that is

153
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:09.600
sown into the womb of the woman. When you delight in the Lord,

154
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.720
when you're intimate with him, when you allow him into your

155
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:20.000
heart, what happens in that process is a consummation of

156
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.160
sorts where what is conceived in your heart space is desire, not

157
00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:29.400
just for him, but for all kinds of different things, the desires

158
00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:33.760
of your heart. And that's where that seed is sown from. And then

159
00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:37.920
that seed begins to grow as you water it. And then God's the one

160
00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:42.600
that gives the increase. Conception is a mystery. The

161
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.280
Bible says conception is a mystery. How that happens is a

162
00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:48.880
mystery. That's a very supernatural situation when we

163
00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:51.720
become impregnated with things, whether it's with human

164
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.560
children, or whether it's with the dreams of our heart, it's a

165
00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:58.920
supernatural kind of situation. But what happens after that is

166
00:09:58.920 --> 00:09:59.840
up to us.

167
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.440
Are we going to water that?

168
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.600
Are we going to be around people that water those seeds?

169
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.600
So those seeds can grow.

170
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:12.120
Are we going to be around information that continues to reinforce that dream, that dream

171
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:17.840
most going to start out as a tiny, tiny, tiny little thought you guys all dreams.

172
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:24.480
They all start out as a tiny thought, just a little one.

173
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:32.120
Have you ever just been driving down the street and all of a sudden you saw something, whether

174
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:39.360
it was a billboard or whether it was, you know, somebody else, you know, doing something

175
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.760
that, you know, made sense to you, you know, maybe you, you drove by some kind of public

176
00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:48.320
event or whatever, it doesn't matter.

177
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.560
Have you ever been anywhere walking down the street, driving down the street, walking through

178
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:57.000
the mall does, you know, walking through a convention center at work, walking through

179
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.000
an office building.

180
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.080
Have you ever been anywhere in the thought just crossed your mind?

181
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.080
Wow.

182
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.560
I wonder what it would be like to do that.

183
00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:08.360
Anybody, come on y'all.

184
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.520
I'm pulling for your dreams this morning.

185
00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:14.320
Raise your hand if you've ever had the thought, hi, I wonder what that's like.

186
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.560
I wonder what it'd be like to do that.

187
00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:19.480
What do I want to be like to have that job?

188
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.480
Wow.

189
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.040
I really liked that outfit.

190
00:11:22.520 --> 00:11:23.520
Hmm.

191
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:24.520
I wonder where they got it.

192
00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:32.840
Anybody, come on, you guys, these are the seeds of dreams.

193
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.880
If you think a thought that's outside of yourself that you've kind of never thought before,

194
00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:39.600
you got to pay attention to it.

195
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.680
If you've never wondered what that would be like before, if you never wondered what having

196
00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.000
that job would entail before, that is a God wink.

197
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:53.880
That is the start of a possible dream in your heart.

198
00:11:53.880 --> 00:11:58.280
Now it may not look exactly like whatever you're seeing, but this could be the building

199
00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.840
blocks of that.

200
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.560
And so that's how something is implanted in your heart.

201
00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:06.120
Have you ever been somewhere and you saw someone really at the top of their game doing whatever

202
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:11.280
it is they do, whatever it is that they do, and you have thought to yourself, wow, I wish

203
00:12:11.280 --> 00:12:13.720
I could do that.

204
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.720
Well guess what?

205
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.720
You can.

206
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.400
It may not look exactly like that.

207
00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:24.800
It may not be exactly like that, but these are the seeds of dreams.

208
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:26.560
But oftentimes this is what happens.

209
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.960
Please pay attention to what I'm going to say next.

210
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.760
Oftentimes what happens is, is that if we allow that thought to stay there long enough,

211
00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.840
we bring it to somebody else.

212
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.440
We're in conversation and we're like, you know what I thought the other day and you

213
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:45.800
say it out loud and either that person is going to be a dream keeper or a dream killer.

214
00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:50.800
My friend, that's what's going to happen.

215
00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:52.240
They're either going to be a dream keeper.

216
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.200
They're going to be like, man, yeah, that's interesting.

217
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.200
Wow.

218
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.440
You should look into that.

219
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:03.160
Or they're going to be like, what, no, that's dumb.

220
00:13:03.160 --> 00:13:07.240
If you're really familiar with them and they're a family member who is a negative person,

221
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:15.720
they may even be like, that's a stupid thought or, or even worse.

222
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.720
You can't do that.

223
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.720
Anybody.

224
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.720
Okay.

225
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.720
Put your hands down.

226
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.720
I have a lot of hands up right now and I want to ask you a lot of questions today, so put

227
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.120
your hands down so we can talk more.

228
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.320
Is this helping anybody already?

229
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.320
Hopefully it should be helping you already.

230
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.520
Okay.

231
00:13:35.520 --> 00:13:36.520
Keep your hands down.

232
00:13:36.800 --> 00:13:37.800
Just give me some hearts.

233
00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:38.800
Give me some emojis.

234
00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:44.000
If it's helping you already, in fact, instead of putting our hands up, that's what we'll

235
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000
do.

236
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.200
Hopefully all of you know how to do the little hearts and the emojis.

237
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.360
Okay.

238
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:57.720
So a lot of you, a lot of you are telling me that that's happened to you before.

239
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.680
So right now, give me a thumbs up, heart, whatever you can access in your emojis.

240
00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:07.800
If that's happened to you in any way, shape or form, in any way, shape or form, maybe

241
00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:13.240
you're at work and you saw a job posting, an internal job posting, and you said to your

242
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.640
coworker and you saw the job posting, and even though it's something that you haven't

243
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:23.120
done before, you saw the criteria for it, you thought you could probably be qualified

244
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.120
for it.

245
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:29.080
And you say to your coworker that's been sitting in the cubicle next to you for 20 years, Hey,

246
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.840
you know, I saw that job posting and I was thinking about applying for it.

247
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.360
They're either going to say, go for it.

248
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.440
They're either going to be your cheerleader or they're going to be your naysayer.

249
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.320
You guys, people don't just do this because they're bad because they're bad people.

250
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.000
A lot of times they do it out of fear.

251
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.800
If they've been sitting next to you for 20 years, guess what they don't want you to do.

252
00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:00.080
They don't want you to leave.

253
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.500
They don't want you to move to a different department.

254
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:05.140
They don't want you to move to a different office.

255
00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:08.420
They don't want you to leave and go get a better job.

256
00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:10.020
Even though the two of you have been sitting there

257
00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:12.900
complaining about how this job is more work

258
00:15:12.900 --> 00:15:14.700
than the pay for 20 years.

259
00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:18.420
They like commiserating with you.

260
00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:21.500
They don't want that to be an empty cubicle

261
00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:23.700
that gets filled with another person that they don't know

262
00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.000
and maybe they don't like.

263
00:15:25.900 --> 00:15:29.200
There's a lot of people that really are comfortable

264
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.980
in their comfort zone and they don't want you

265
00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:35.060
to get out of your comfort zone and make them uncomfortable.

266
00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:36.660
Is anybody following me today?

267
00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:39.940
Come on, you guys,

268
00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:42.180
this is what God highlighted in my heart today.

269
00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:44.340
This is important, we're in a new year.

270
00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:46.420
And I believe that God wants to begin to conceive

271
00:15:46.420 --> 00:15:48.020
in some of you some new dreams.

272
00:15:48.020 --> 00:15:51.020
It's gonna start out as just a thought, as just a whisper.

273
00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.980
Do you know what I say over people when it's their birthdays?

274
00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:58.840
If I've ever posted on any of your pages,

275
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.120
because I just happened to notice it was your birthday,

276
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.360
I say the same thing to everybody.

277
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.760
May this be the year where the purest whispers

278
00:16:06.760 --> 00:16:08.120
of your heart come true.

279
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.920
That's what I say to everybody.

280
00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:15.320
Because I believe these are pure whispers, you guys.

281
00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:18.440
And sometimes they're just a whisper,

282
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.720
they're not really that loud.

283
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.160
And some of you join this community

284
00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:25.240
because it's just a little whisper that you hear.

285
00:16:25.260 --> 00:16:27.020
It's a little whisper that you wanna be partnered.

286
00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:29.620
It's a little whisper that you wanna be married.

287
00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:32.420
And you're afraid to even utter it out loud.

288
00:16:32.420 --> 00:16:33.700
It literally is a whisper.

289
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:35.180
You're afraid to say it out loud

290
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:37.060
because you're afraid it can't happen.

291
00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:39.700
And you're afraid that the people around you will kill it

292
00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:42.160
before it even gets a chance to get started.

293
00:16:44.020 --> 00:16:46.500
And that's why you live, that's why you're here.

294
00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.620
And that's why this is a beautiful place

295
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:52.740
where you can talk out loud about this dream.

296
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:54.220
And not just this dream.

297
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.280
This is a place where you can talk about all of your dreams.

298
00:16:57.280 --> 00:16:59.780
This is a place where we're good dream keepers.

299
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.580
I believe in the impossible or I wouldn't be here.

300
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.079
I believe in the impossible.

301
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.040
I believe the impossible is possible.

302
00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:10.920
Otherwise we wouldn't have 1,600 plus success stories

303
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:11.920
in five years.

304
00:17:12.800 --> 00:17:13.800
If you haven't noticed,

305
00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:17.280
I have the gift of hope and faith for this.

306
00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:18.960
But not just for this.

307
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.780
For anything in your life to be resurrected,

308
00:17:21.780 --> 00:17:25.079
any dream in your heart to come to pass,

309
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.220
especially the things that are pure.

310
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.680
And so this is where we fall off.

311
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.480
People are like, well, maybe it's not pure.

312
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.680
Maybe it's just my flesh that wants it.

313
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.520
Have you been delighting in the Lord?

314
00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:38.680
Do you love him?

315
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.680
Give me some hearts if you love God.

316
00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:43.720
And I don't mean perfectly.

317
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.760
I mean imperfectly.

318
00:17:44.760 --> 00:17:46.240
Because in case you didn't realize it,

319
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.840
you're living in this flesh suit.

320
00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:50.240
You're never going to do anything perfectly.

321
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:51.900
You're going to mess up.

322
00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:53.280
You're going to give into temptation.

323
00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:54.260
You're going to sin.

324
00:17:54.260 --> 00:17:56.780
That's why Jesus came to die for you.

325
00:17:56.780 --> 00:17:58.480
He's not giving us permission to sin,

326
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.100
but he has covered sin.

327
00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:05.580
He has.

328
00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:07.340
He died for you and as you,

329
00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:09.260
so that you can continue to mature

330
00:18:09.260 --> 00:18:12.140
and continue to grow and continue to learn.

331
00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.220
For all of you that messed up in your life,

332
00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:16.460
for all of you that messed up yesterday,

333
00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:18.380
the most important thing is not that you messed up.

334
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.240
It's what did you learn?

335
00:18:24.040 --> 00:18:26.240
The only danger is continuing in folly.

336
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.960
The only danger is continuing to make the dumb,

337
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.360
the same dumb mistake over and over and over and over.

338
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:34.480
And guess what?

339
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.320
Guess what?

340
00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:36.720
That's a heart situation.

341
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.760
That's rooted.

342
00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:44.200
If we keep having the same fruit pop up,

343
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.000
same fruit, different day,

344
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.040
that means it's connected to a root.

345
00:18:49.040 --> 00:18:50.160
We got to let Holy Spirit remove the root

346
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.260
or the fruit is going to continue to come.

347
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:56.720
Jealousy is coming to my spirit right now.

348
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.240
If you continue to be envious of other people,

349
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.560
jealous of other people,

350
00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:04.060
not be happy for other people's success,

351
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.760
that's rooted in fear.

352
00:19:06.760 --> 00:19:08.000
Jealousy is rooted in fear,

353
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.080
just in case you didn't know.

354
00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:10.000
I know it's really ugly

355
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.800
and we think that it's rooted in ugly, ugly things,

356
00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:13.680
but let me let you know,

357
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.520
fear is the ugliest thing that anything can be rooted in

358
00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:19.160
because it's the opposite of love.

359
00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:22.120
It's the opposite of love,

360
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.560
not hatred, fear.

361
00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:29.480
Hatred comes from fear.

362
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.060
Jealousy comes from fear.

363
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.060
Dishonesty comes from fear.

364
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.340
All of it.

365
00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:42.920
And so if you have something popping up

366
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.320
that continues to sabotage your success in life,

367
00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:48.680
make you feel shame,

368
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.240
once again, origin, fear.

369
00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:59.100
So let's deal with that.

370
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.920
But most of us are doing the best that we can.

371
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.600
So when it comes to delighting in the Lord, it's not a perfect science.

372
00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:12.880
There's not a criteria of how much you need to delight in the Lord, how intimate you need

373
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.600
to be with him, how much you need to pray, how much you need to fast, how much you need

374
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.920
to be in worship.

375
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.920
It's not about that.

376
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.920
It's about a heart posture.

377
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.320
Do you love God?

378
00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:27.780
Do you love him?

379
00:20:27.780 --> 00:20:32.340
When you think about his love, does it make you feel a little weepy-eyed?

380
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:37.460
When you think about his goodness, when you think about the things that he's done for

381
00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:42.620
you, when you revisit those landmarks and those memorials in your life of where God

382
00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:46.680
has helped you and he has saved you and he has delivered you and he has healed you, does

383
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.700
it cause your heart to be full of joy and gratitude?

384
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:55.120
Then you delight in the Lord, my friend.

385
00:20:55.120 --> 00:21:02.640
And that is the only criteria for consummation or conception of dreams in your heart.

386
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:09.840
So please do not ignore the tiny little seeds that you have, that we talked about at the

387
00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:13.520
beginning of this, where you drive by something, you have a thought.

388
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:15.160
Dreams start out as thoughts.

389
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.720
They start out as curiosity.

390
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:23.320
Has anyone ever just become curious about something super random and you Googled it

391
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:24.840
because you're just curious about it.

392
00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:27.240
You just want to know more about it.

393
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:32.280
Something very random that you've never thought of before.

394
00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:37.720
And you're like, huh, that is a little God wink that leads somewhere.

395
00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:40.280
That's a little love note trail.

396
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:46.760
I used to call it a breadcrumb trail until breadcrumbing became something that love bombers

397
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:48.440
and narcissists do.

398
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.960
It's like psychology hijacked a fun word, but also breadcrumbing is kind of from the

399
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.640
very macabre fairy tale Hansel and Gretel.

400
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.760
So we don't want that either.

401
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:05.400
We don't want to be breadcrumb to the witch's house where she's going to eat us later.

402
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:10.840
So for those of you that don't know American fairy tales, you're like, wait, what?

403
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.160
Yeah.

404
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.440
Yeah.

405
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.360
Disney took all these fairy tales and made them into fun cartoons.

406
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.640
But the actual fairy tales, the grim fairy tales are grim.

407
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:27.400
My friends, they are super scary, super scary situations.

408
00:22:28.280 --> 00:22:33.080
So God just leaves us little notes, little love notes leading us places.

409
00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:35.480
And so if you ever have a random thought like, Hey, you know,

410
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:38.360
well, I'm kind of curious about that.

411
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.200
Be curious about it.

412
00:22:41.320 --> 00:22:43.560
Look into it, see where it leads you.

413
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.040
It could just be the first love note on the trail that leads you somewhere totally different,

414
00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.560
but that's how you got there.

415
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.760
That's how you got there.

416
00:22:53.800 --> 00:22:56.920
I've heard all kinds of origin stories of people's dreams.

417
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.480
You guys, all kinds of origin stories.

418
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.400
I have a really great doctor and you guys know that it's hard to find a really good

419
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.120
doctor, right?

420
00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:06.520
I've really good doctor back in Ohio.

421
00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:07.480
And I just hate that.

422
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.120
I can't see him regularly because I love him.

423
00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:12.040
And he's such a good doctor.

424
00:23:12.760 --> 00:23:16.200
It doesn't matter what he practices, what type of medicine he practices.

425
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.880
If you could take him and put him in any type of medicine,

426
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:23.240
he could be an OBGYN.

427
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.840
He could be an internal doctor.

428
00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:26.120
He could be a cardiologist.

429
00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:26.760
Doesn't matter.

430
00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:29.880
He would be a good doctor, no matter what type of medicine he practices.

431
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:34.040
And the reason why is because he has the heart of a good doctor,

432
00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:36.040
but you know how he got it.

433
00:23:38.520 --> 00:23:39.800
This is all Holy spirit right now.

434
00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:41.160
You guys were just flowing in the spirit.

435
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.160
I asked him one day because he's such a good doctor.

436
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:46.600
He has such a great bedside manner.

437
00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:47.320
He's so caring.

438
00:23:47.320 --> 00:23:48.280
He's so knowledgeable.

439
00:23:48.280 --> 00:23:49.400
He's so skilled.

440
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.120
I said, Hey, when did you know you wanted to become a doctor?

441
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.480
And he kind of lit up a little bit.

442
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.080
Like he loves to tell this story.

443
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:01.960
And he said, actually, he said, I had a bad accident when I was a kid.

444
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.480
So his origin story of his dream comes from trauma.

445
00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:11.080
It comes from when he was a kid, he was playing soccer.

446
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.760
He's an Indian man.

447
00:24:12.760 --> 00:24:13.880
He's not from India.

448
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.440
He's born here, but you know, he's playing football.

449
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:16.940
Okay.

450
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:22.600
Football, soccer, and he was playing it and something happened that caused him to

451
00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:25.240
become injured and he broke his pelvis.

452
00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:32.920
And he was, I think nine or 10 years old, which resulted in him being in the hospital

453
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.200
for three or four months.

454
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.800
In one of those body casts where your legs are up, you know what I'm talking about?

455
00:24:37.800 --> 00:24:41.400
Have you ever seen any kind of movies or any kind of pictures of someone?

456
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.040
Maybe one of you have been in a body cast before.

457
00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:49.240
So he was in a body cast from the waist down with his legs and traction laying still as

458
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.000
a 10 year old boy in the hospital for several months.

459
00:24:53.560 --> 00:24:57.000
You and I could probably imagine that for anyone that would be terrible before.

460
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.040
10-year-old boy, that would be very bad, especially a very active, athletic boy.

461
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.800
And remember, this is back in the day when there probably wasn't any video games or really anything

462
00:25:12.800 --> 00:25:20.160
to do, except maybe read comic books or watch television. And he said that in his time in the

463
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:26.080
hospital, his doctors were so kind. They were so caring. They tried to make it fun for him in such

464
00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:32.400
a way at this hospital that he was at, that he knew when he was a young boy, that when he grew

465
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:38.240
up, he wanted to be a doctor too. That's what happened. That was the origin story of his dream.

466
00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:45.040
Isn't that incredible? So dreams don't just come from good places, you guys. Sometimes they come

467
00:25:45.040 --> 00:25:52.640
from hard places. What I do for you, my dream to restore marriage and family in the earth,

468
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.320
to revive marriage in the earth, to help people choose right,

469
00:25:57.600 --> 00:26:02.320
choose good so that they can have lineage and legacy, it comes from a very broken and

470
00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:10.320
dysfunctional childhood. That desire was birthed in hard places. That desire was birthed in a

471
00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:16.160
girl's home. That desire was birthed in foster care. That desire was birthed in a dysfunctional

472
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:27.440
family where there were lots and lots of divorces for everybody. You see what I'm saying?

473
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:35.440
So when you're curious about something or something happens that makes you say to yourself,

474
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.200
hey, the comfort that I've been comforted with, I want to comfort others with.

475
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:45.840
Maybe you're a single mom and people have been giving to you or helping you. Maybe there's a

476
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:50.640
certain organization that has really helped you and the thought has come into your heart, man,

477
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:56.160
I'd really like to work for that organization when I get on my feet. I like to go back and

478
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:04.880
help others the same way that I'm being helped right now. Or maybe you see a space where people

479
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:10.240
are not being helped and you've really in the past needed that exact type of help,

480
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.320
but it doesn't really exist, or at least you haven't been able to find it.

481
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:20.640
Sometimes when you see the need, you are the help. And that's where a little tiny

482
00:27:21.280 --> 00:27:26.240
seed is sown and conceived. You know what I'm saying?

483
00:27:29.760 --> 00:27:37.440
It's beautiful. And that's where it comes from. So let's get to the nuts and bolts of today.

484
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.720
Now that we've talked about these very, and I want to let you guys know,

485
00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:43.520
they can be fragile little seeds.

486
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:55.920
They can, and it's important what happens as that thing is starting to root in your heart and gain

487
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:03.120
traction and grow. It's important that we steward it well and we protect it. And sometimes silence

488
00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:09.600
is the best stewardship of a dream, meaning pondering it in your heart at the very beginning.

489
00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:15.280
Look at Joseph. He had a dream. And as soon as he woke up from his dream,

490
00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:18.560
he went out blabbing it to people and it got him in a lot of trouble. Didn't it?

491
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.440
First of all, he wasn't mature enough to understand the meaning of the dream.

492
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:29.760
He was receiving that dream through ego. I'm going to rule over you. You're going to bow down to me.

493
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:36.160
I'm going to be important. And you guys are going to worship me kind of idea.

494
00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:43.840
Yeah. That's not going to go over really well. It isn't. And if God sows a little dream in your

495
00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:47.520
heart that one day you're going to be super, super wealthy, and you're going to be able to,

496
00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:53.520
you know, bless people through your wealth. And you tell that to your family that struggled with

497
00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:58.720
nine to five all their lives and in generations, and you come blabbing that guess what? That's

498
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.240
not going to really be well-received. They're going to be like, who do you think you are?

499
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.320
We're honest, hardworking people. You're telling us that you're going to be rich.

500
00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:11.280
How are you going to be rich? So you have to be careful with your dreams.

501
00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:21.200
And we see this in the story of Mary, right? She gets a crazy, crazy word from the Lord,

502
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:27.840
tiny little seed of conception, sewn into her heart through a very supernatural experience.

503
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:32.720
Sewn into her heart through a very supernatural experience. And some of the desires of your heart

504
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:37.200
have come through supernatural experiences. You were in prayer and you felt like God spoke

505
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.040
something to you. You weren't even asking him for anything, but he spoke something to you anyway.

506
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:46.880
You were in worship. God spoke something to you in a dream. God showed you something

507
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:53.040
supernatural things do happen that begin the path towards some sort of outcome,

508
00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:58.640
some sort of dream. Now this wasn't a dream of a little teenage Mary's heart.

509
00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:07.200
to be the mother of the Messiah, but her heart must have been a fertile place

510
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:13.360
because God saw her and he favored her above all women and chose her for

511
00:30:16.800 --> 00:30:23.040
this. Chose her for this, right? And that's another thing that I think we can just put into

512
00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:27.360
this Supernatural Saturday. A lot of times you are going to feel disqualified for the desires

513
00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:34.880
of your heart. You are going to feel not good enough. If you have a dream in your heart that

514
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:38.880
you feel good enough for, and you also feel like you could perform it or make it happen

515
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:46.320
in your own abilities, it's probably not a God dream. Probably thinking a little bit too small.

516
00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:52.800
It could be part of a God dream, but the God part of it's probably a lot bigger.

517
00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:57.120
Like I said, the last Supernatural Saturday, a lot of us never make it to God's part.

518
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.920
Because we don't do our part. We don't even make it to God's part. We don't even make it. We don't

519
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:06.880
even do the natural, so we don't make it to the Supernatural. That's another part of my proverb

520
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:12.880
that I'm going to share today. It says, know the importance of the season that you're in and a wise

521
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.560
son you'll be. But then it goes on to say, but what a waste when an incompetent son sleeps through

522
00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:24.320
his day of opportunity. You guys, the word incompetent just means not having the skill to

523
00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:29.920
be successful. You know where you get the skill to be successful? Through practice. You know where

524
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.120
you get the skill to be successful? Through mentorship, through coaching. That's why you're

525
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:39.760
here. If you knew how to do this, then you would have already done it. Right? If you understood

526
00:31:39.760 --> 00:31:45.120
what you were missing, then you would just make it happen. So a lot of us don't even make it to

527
00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:50.560
God's part because we don't do our part. We don't do our part. And a lot of times we don't do our

528
00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:57.200
part because we really don't even know what our part is. We just don't. And that's why Holy Spirit

529
00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:01.840
is an instructor and a teacher. And that's why Holy Spirit works through people, coaches, mentors,

530
00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:06.640
people like me, people like other people in your life, in different areas that will coach and

531
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:13.280
mentor you and help you. If you want to go slow, go alone. If you want to go fast, get a coach,

532
00:32:13.280 --> 00:32:18.320
get a mentor, come into a like-minded community where your dreams are going to be fed and they're

533
00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:23.520
going to be watered and they're going to be prayed for. The seven-day-a-week prayer that we

534
00:32:23.520 --> 00:32:28.640
have for all of you that are new, that's not a new thing for us. I'm an intercessor. I'm a prayer

535
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:34.000
warrior. That is my position, my very most important primary position in the kingdom of God.

536
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.760
When I came in the kingdom at 22, that is how God used me and utilized me. And I continue to be used

537
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:43.840
and utilized that way. And all of my greatest dreams have been birthed through intercession

538
00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:52.880
for others. So as soon as I started this community back in 2020, I immediately instituted

539
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.160
seven-day-a-week prayer. And I led every single prayer session until God sent me people that

540
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:06.640
had the skills to lead it as well. I was diligent over that. If you want to live out your dream,

541
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.480
it's going to require discipline. It's going to require diligence. It's going to require

542
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:16.720
showing up when you don't feel like it. It will require those things that will be your part,

543
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.080
that will be your natural, that God puts his super on. And it's going to look different

544
00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:31.520
for everybody. But I knew in order to come out from obscurity, it's a one thing to be praying

545
00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:35.600
behind the scenes. It's another thing to come publicly and say, we're going to have a revival

546
00:33:35.600 --> 00:33:40.320
of marriage and family. Guess that? That attracts every demon in the world. They all

547
00:33:40.320 --> 00:33:45.760
turned their heads and said, what? Because marriage and family is public enemy number

548
00:33:45.760 --> 00:33:52.000
one to the kingdom of darkness. And you cannot have a ministry like that if you are not going

549
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:56.960
to have a prayer covering. And so all of you make up that prayer covering. And I'm so thankful.

550
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:02.000
Thank you for coming to prayer. That is what you're doing when you come to prayer. You may

551
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:07.440
not be the leader of that prayer session, but your voice in unity together is what causes the

552
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:11.840
prayer covering to happen. It's not the leader. The leader is just making sure that there's not

553
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.199
chaos. You're just making sure that everything gets done in order and everyone gets to pray.

554
00:34:16.560 --> 00:34:24.320
You are the VIPs. You coming and using your gift to pray, using your desire to pray.

555
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.280
That is what causes the covering. If you ever wonder how we've had 1600 plus success stories,

556
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:38.239
it's because of you. It's not because of me. Yes, I gave my yes, but after I gave my yes,

557
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.280
you gave your yes and you gave your yes and you gave your yes and you gave your yes. And

558
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:50.400
all of our yeses together is what causes us to happen. And prayer is the lifeblood of this.

559
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.320
So please, if you haven't been showing up to prayer, please try to.

560
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.640
Sunday night's a good time to show up to prayer. If you work during the week and just

561
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.960
during the time of prayer,

562
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.420
maybe you can come on your lunch break sometimes.

563
00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:05.280
You can also just pray during the time

564
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:06.280
that you know we're praying,

565
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:07.840
even if you're not on with us.

566
00:35:09.100 --> 00:35:10.680
You can just pray silently at your desk

567
00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:11.520
while you're working, like,

568
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:15.820
oh, hey, my family, my community is praying right now.

569
00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:17.700
I'm gonna add my prayers to theirs.

570
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.160
Guys, there's no distance in the spirit.

571
00:35:21.160 --> 00:35:23.160
We don't have to be on Zoom together

572
00:35:23.160 --> 00:35:26.020
in order for your prayers to come into unity with ours.

573
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:32.760
This is good today, you guys.

574
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:34.600
I mean, it's always good.

575
00:35:34.600 --> 00:35:36.240
It's always good because it's God,

576
00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:39.160
but I really feel like

577
00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:41.200
God's trying to show us something today.

578
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.040
I know there's some correction here,

579
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.400
but God just showed me this this morning,

580
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.520
and this is a different proverb.

581
00:35:46.520 --> 00:35:47.680
It's not my Proverb 10

582
00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:49.920
that I'm covering today on Wisdom Challenge,

583
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.240
but it says that God corrects,

584
00:35:54.240 --> 00:35:57.620
it says a father corrects the sons that he loves, right?

585
00:35:58.620 --> 00:36:00.700
And this is what God said to me this morning.

586
00:36:00.700 --> 00:36:02.120
He said, what's the difference

587
00:36:02.120 --> 00:36:04.040
between correction and punishment?

588
00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:08.180
The answer is love.

589
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.420
The same very thing could be being said

590
00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:17.060
for correction or for punishment,

591
00:36:17.060 --> 00:36:19.220
and the way a person's going to receive it

592
00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:21.480
is whether or not they feel loved by you.

593
00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:24.600
And I hope you guys feel loved by me.

594
00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:26.700
I hope you feel loved by me.

595
00:36:26.740 --> 00:36:28.540
I know I can be kind of strong sometimes.

596
00:36:28.540 --> 00:36:30.640
I know I can be a little direct sometimes,

597
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:32.860
but I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you,

598
00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:33.840
each and every one of you.

599
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.860
I wouldn't be here if I didn't love your lineage

600
00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:38.540
and your legacy, if I didn't love your love story.

601
00:36:38.540 --> 00:36:39.500
I wouldn't be here.

602
00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.780
I wouldn't be doing this

603
00:36:42.060 --> 00:36:43.100
because the warfare is real,

604
00:36:43.100 --> 00:36:45.780
and I'm not glamorizing or celebrating it.

605
00:36:45.780 --> 00:36:47.280
I'm saying it is, though.

606
00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:51.540
And that's why prayer is so important,

607
00:36:51.540 --> 00:36:52.880
and that's why you praying for me

608
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.940
and you praying for the other leaders of this movement

609
00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:56.300
and praying for each other,

610
00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.580
even if you can't be on prayer with us,

611
00:36:58.580 --> 00:37:00.300
is so very important to all of us

612
00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.980
because we need that covering.

613
00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:05.020
And I think that we're gonna need it even stronger in 26

614
00:37:05.020 --> 00:37:06.740
because I think that what we've seen,

615
00:37:06.740 --> 00:37:08.120
we ain't seen nothing yet.

616
00:37:09.060 --> 00:37:13.160
I think we're going to see an explosion of kingdom family,

617
00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:16.980
and we are going to be the forerunners of it

618
00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:19.420
because we have been tilling the ground

619
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.720
and planting the seed.

620
00:37:22.060 --> 00:37:24.680
Harvest comes to people who have seed in the ground,

621
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:28.680
and friends, we have a lot of seed in the ground,

622
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.800
a lot of seed in the ground.

623
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.800
And guess what?

624
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.200
God's gonna send the rain.

625
00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:35.360
And so what the difference is between correction

626
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.080
and rebuke and punishment is love

627
00:37:39.080 --> 00:37:40.600
and whether or not someone feels loved.

628
00:37:40.600 --> 00:37:42.520
And I want someone to take that with them.

629
00:37:42.520 --> 00:37:44.480
I wasn't gonna share that on today,

630
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.760
but I think that you need that for people in your life.

631
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.520
I think that those of you that are parenting,

632
00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:51.120
those of you that have other people,

633
00:37:51.120 --> 00:37:53.680
maybe you're an employer and you have employees,

634
00:37:53.680 --> 00:37:56.160
if you want them to receive your correction,

635
00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:58.560
they need to know that you care for them.

636
00:37:58.560 --> 00:37:59.480
Remember that old saying,

637
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.840
people don't care what you know

638
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.440
until they know that you care.

639
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.880
They don't care how much you know

640
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.580
until they know how much you care.

641
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:12.360
And so you need to spend some time showing love

642
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.520
and not just discipline

643
00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:18.920
because otherwise it's going to be received as punishment,

644
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.080
even though you're just trying to correct,

645
00:38:21.080 --> 00:38:22.680
it will be received as punishment.

646
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:23.500
And then guess what?

647
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:25.260
Punishment oftentimes,

648
00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:27.780
especially from someone who doesn't think

649
00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:30.220
that you're doing it because you love them

650
00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:34.340
is going to cause resentment and possibly even rebellion.

651
00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:38.500
That man, that's a word for somebody.

652
00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:40.220
You have in trouble with your kids.

653
00:38:40.220 --> 00:38:41.780
They're not listening to you.

654
00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:43.220
They don't trust you.

655
00:38:46.820 --> 00:38:48.660
I know that's a hard word to receive,

656
00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:53.300
but I've lived that with my parents, not with my children.

657
00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:56.420
My children listen to me because they trust me

658
00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:58.540
because when I messed up,

659
00:38:58.540 --> 00:39:00.300
I told them that I messed up.

660
00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:01.420
I humbled myself.

661
00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:04.220
I asked for forgiveness to my children

662
00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:07.500
when I popped off in anger or said the wrong thing

663
00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:09.180
or said something that, you know,

664
00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:10.420
they're like, mom, that's not true.

665
00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:11.300
And I'm like, yes, it is.

666
00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:12.420
I'm your mother, listen to me.

667
00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:13.780
And then I come back and be like, you're right.

668
00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:15.100
It's not true.

669
00:39:15.100 --> 00:39:16.100
I was wrong.

670
00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:18.020
I went and checked the facts and I realized,

671
00:39:18.020 --> 00:39:21.740
oh, they did do their homework

672
00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:23.180
or they did take out the trash

673
00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.780
or they did whatever.

674
00:39:24.780 --> 00:39:26.900
And I would come in humility and say, please forgive me.

675
00:39:28.100 --> 00:39:28.940
I'm just a human.

676
00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.780
I made a mistake.

677
00:39:29.780 --> 00:39:30.620
I'm sorry.

678
00:39:30.620 --> 00:39:31.460
I love you.

679
00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:36.300
That's why they trust me.

680
00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:38.700
Cause it wasn't, I'm the parents.

681
00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:43.580
It's my way or the highway because I said so.

682
00:39:43.580 --> 00:39:44.820
I wasn't that parent.

683
00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:49.820
I wasn't.

684
00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:52.660
And now my kids are grownups

685
00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:55.740
and other grownups that I hang out with,

686
00:39:55.740 --> 00:39:57.820
other parents, they're like, man,

687
00:39:57.820 --> 00:39:59.820
your kids really love to be around you.

688
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.240
Every time you're going somewhere,

689
00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:03.080
your kids are like wanting to go too.

690
00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:06.320
Like every trip I go on, I have one of my kids with me

691
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.060
and they're like, how is this, how is this working?

692
00:40:08.060 --> 00:40:10.200
I can't get my kids to even come over.

693
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:13.040
Well, because my kids like me, that's how.

694
00:40:13.040 --> 00:40:17.080
And if that is not your reality,

695
00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:19.120
remember you can have heaven's reality.

696
00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:21.600
If that's not your reality right now,

697
00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:22.760
it can become your reality.

698
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:23.880
You're like, no, it's too late.

699
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:24.920
It's not too late.

700
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.520
It's not too late.

701
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.280
Love covers a multitude of wrongdoing.

702
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.680
Love covers a multitude of mistakes.

703
00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:39.540
Love covers, which is in my proverb for today, offense.

704
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.800
You're like, well, how can I write the ship, Jackie?

705
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:48.000
You can begin to show love even if it's not reciprocated.

706
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.480
Not manipulation, not for a desired outcome.

707
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.000
You can't control the outcome.

708
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:54.960
All you can do is sow the seed.

709
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:57.840
God's the one that has to give the increase.

710
00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.720
Sow the seed.

711
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.840
Love.

712
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:04.360
Support.

713
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.200
You're like, well, they're no contact with me, okay?

714
00:41:09.200 --> 00:41:10.040
Pray.

715
00:41:13.520 --> 00:41:14.400
Repent.

716
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.240
I don't know what I did wrong, Jackie.

717
00:41:19.240 --> 00:41:20.720
Doesn't matter.

718
00:41:20.720 --> 00:41:22.320
Repent of everything.

719
00:41:24.720 --> 00:41:25.720
Humble yourself.

720
00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:28.800
This is really a word for somebody, you guys,

721
00:41:29.080 --> 00:41:31.080
that's not even part of today's Supernatural Saturday.

722
00:41:31.080 --> 00:41:33.400
It's a word for probably more than one somebody.

723
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.640
It could be not your children.

724
00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:35.480
It could be a sibling.

725
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:36.400
It could be your parents.

726
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.720
It could be a best friendship that you really, really miss

727
00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:43.960
and you know that it ended badly because of hard hearts.

728
00:41:45.080 --> 00:41:46.120
It could be anything.

729
00:41:48.280 --> 00:41:49.640
It could be anything.

730
00:41:49.640 --> 00:41:52.080
All right, let's go back to our dreams.

731
00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:53.440
Gonna be on here for about 10 more minutes

732
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:55.320
and then I have to go get ready.

733
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:57.360
Once again, you can sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

734
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.760
Please use our link to sign up for Wisdom Challenge.

735
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.000
Even though it's free,

736
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:03.880
they are keeping track of how many people that we bring in

737
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:06.440
and there are special bonuses and different things.

738
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:11.440
And so go to the link in your resource page to sign up.

739
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:13.720
I also sent out an email.

740
00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:16.760
You can go find that as well if you get my emails.

741
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:19.520
If you don't get my email, sign up for the emails.

742
00:42:19.520 --> 00:42:21.760
I send stuff out, all right?

743
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:22.760
I don't send out a lot of stuff.

744
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:24.680
I'm not gonna spam you, I promise.

745
00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:26.240
I barely send out emails.

746
00:42:26.240 --> 00:42:30.080
And so go and sign up through that.

747
00:42:30.080 --> 00:42:33.680
And you can, if you do it quickly after we end today,

748
00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:35.360
you can be on there today.

749
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.240
And you guys, if you are on there,

750
00:42:37.240 --> 00:42:40.040
when I come on and stuff, just do a bunch of heart emojis.

751
00:42:40.040 --> 00:42:41.280
Let me know you're there

752
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.560
because I just wanna see who's there watching

753
00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:46.640
when I come on and start talking.

754
00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:47.920
And it's gonna be a good time.

755
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:49.480
I know that it will be.

756
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.560
All right, and you guys listen to the last nine days too.

757
00:42:52.560 --> 00:42:53.680
If you're just signing up today,

758
00:42:53.680 --> 00:42:54.960
listen to the last nine days.

759
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.240
Some amazing voices of wisdom.

760
00:42:57.240 --> 00:43:00.320
Every single day, amazing voices of wisdom.

761
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.720
It's really great to start your year out right.

762
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:05.800
Clarity has to come before momentum.

763
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.440
You can't run a hundred miles an hour without clarity

764
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.760
because you're gonna hit a dead end for sure.

765
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:12.760
All right, so let's talk about this.

766
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.480
Dream killers versus dream givers

767
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:18.080
or dream protectors, dream keepers.

768
00:43:19.240 --> 00:43:21.800
Not everyone deserves access to your dream.

769
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:23.720
You may have close friends and family

770
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.160
that like Mary, you're gonna ponder this in your heart.

771
00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:27.120
You know what would have happened

772
00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:28.680
if Mary would have told people

773
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:31.760
that she believed that she was impregnated

774
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.440
by the Holy Spirit?

775
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.400
Yeah, that wouldn't have gone over well.

776
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:39.000
It wouldn't have.

777
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.040
You see how God covered it up, right?

778
00:43:41.040 --> 00:43:43.480
He appeared to the one person who really needed to know

779
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.120
and that was Joseph.

780
00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:47.920
He was the one person that needed to know

781
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:49.200
and then he took her anyway.

782
00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:51.600
So it's better thinking that she got pregnant

783
00:43:51.600 --> 00:43:54.640
right before they got married by Joseph

784
00:43:54.640 --> 00:43:58.080
than it was people knowing the truth.

785
00:43:58.080 --> 00:43:58.920
Amen?

786
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:03.080
And God will protect your dream.

787
00:44:03.080 --> 00:44:05.360
He will protect it, but will you?

788
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.760
During these fragile, fragile times of it growing,

789
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.320
are you going to let someone come in and try to execute it?

790
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:18.720
Someone come in with their words and try to abort it?

791
00:44:18.720 --> 00:44:20.360
Especially someone that you really care

792
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:21.640
about the opinion of,

793
00:44:21.640 --> 00:44:23.840
someone that really has influence over you,

794
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:25.920
you gotta be careful because if they're a negative person

795
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:29.120
or a fearful person, they're the wrong person.

796
00:44:29.120 --> 00:44:31.960
I know that you want their approval,

797
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:33.760
but you're gonna have to get over it

798
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.520
because their approval actually might abort your dream

799
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:42.560
because they're a fearful person.

800
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:45.440
They're gonna introduce all kinds of,

801
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.040
well, what if this and what if that,

802
00:44:47.040 --> 00:44:49.720
and that's not safe.

803
00:44:50.080 --> 00:44:53.400
And just like, no, I had that happen to me yesterday.

804
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:55.520
Yesterday.

805
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:00.000
I talked about something.

806
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.520
that I'm already in the launching process of

807
00:45:04.520 --> 00:45:07.240
with someone that I really admire and respect,

808
00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:08.920
but I know that they are someone

809
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.560
who always sees the storm clouds.

810
00:45:14.520 --> 00:45:17.000
And I knew that before I said it.

811
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.400
And yet I was so excited about it

812
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:19.440
that I just blurted it out

813
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.680
and then they were smack down.

814
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.920
I'm gonna do it anyway, but I just wanna say that.

815
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:31.720
Okay, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

816
00:45:31.720 --> 00:45:33.520
And friends, those people are not bad people.

817
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:34.680
They think they're protecting you.

818
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:38.320
They do it out of concern, right?

819
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.600
Some people do it out of jealousy

820
00:45:40.600 --> 00:45:41.680
and they wanna keep you small,

821
00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:43.400
but a lot of people do it out of concern.

822
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.240
So not everyone deserves access to your dream.

823
00:45:45.240 --> 00:45:46.440
I have a few notes here,

824
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.960
but what you have to understand is that your dream is alive

825
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.720
before it even manifests, before it's even accomplished,

826
00:45:52.720 --> 00:45:54.880
it's alive, it's a living thing.

827
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.800
If I asked you to raise your hand,

828
00:45:59.560 --> 00:46:02.320
if you believe that abortion kills a human life,

829
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.160
I think most of you would raise your hand in here.

830
00:46:04.160 --> 00:46:05.920
And I don't wanna get into an abortion topic.

831
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.400
I don't wanna get into whether it's right or wrong

832
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:08.640
or all those things.

833
00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:12.440
But I think we all believe that it is a child,

834
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.440
it is a life that is being snuffed out in abortion.

835
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:18.680
Well, guess what?

836
00:46:18.680 --> 00:46:20.920
Your dream is alive the same way

837
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.840
that any other product of conception is alive.

838
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:25.520
I want you to really understand that.

839
00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:28.560
Even if it hasn't fully formed, it's alive in the same way.

840
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.280
Why? Because God's words are life.

841
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:32.320
They're alive.

842
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.560
They're alive, they're living things.

843
00:46:36.560 --> 00:46:38.720
They're little power containers of life.

844
00:46:40.120 --> 00:46:41.800
And so even though you think it's just a thought,

845
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:45.880
you think it's just a spark, it's not, it's alive.

846
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:50.960
Yes, it's alive.

847
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.960
And so your dream is alive before it's accomplished,

848
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.400
before it's manifested, before it's fully formed,

849
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.160
before you have it in your hot little hands,

850
00:46:58.760 --> 00:46:59.600
it is alive.

851
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:02.280
And this is the gestation period.

852
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.040
And all gestation periods for dreams are different.

853
00:47:05.040 --> 00:47:08.880
Some dreams gestate for decades before they come to pass.

854
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:11.160
So for those of you who are like,

855
00:47:11.160 --> 00:47:12.920
man, my dream didn't come to pass,

856
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.840
I must've done something wrong, I must've aborted it.

857
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:16.600
No, it might be one of those dreams

858
00:47:16.600 --> 00:47:18.160
that has a longer gestation.

859
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:20.640
You know why?

860
00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:22.440
Because those dreams require a higher level

861
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.240
of responsibility and maturity.

862
00:47:24.240 --> 00:47:26.440
And marriage is one of those.

863
00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:28.280
The good news is I believe that all of you

864
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:29.760
in this community are at the end

865
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.080
of your gestation period for partnership.

866
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:33.120
That's why you're here.

867
00:47:33.120 --> 00:47:35.360
I don't believe that God calls people into here

868
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:36.960
when they still have 20 years to go

869
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.240
before their partnership.

870
00:47:39.520 --> 00:47:42.440
I feel like we're kind of part of the midwife team

871
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.440
that helps you give birth to that thing.

872
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:47.480
Okay, all right.

873
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.560
So some people don't kill your dreams with hatred,

874
00:47:50.560 --> 00:47:53.000
they don't hate you, they don't hate your dream,

875
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:54.760
but they kill them with concern.

876
00:47:55.680 --> 00:47:57.720
They're concerned for you.

877
00:47:57.720 --> 00:47:59.560
And we all know people who are concerned,

878
00:47:59.560 --> 00:48:01.000
they're worriers, they're worriers,

879
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:02.000
they worry about everything.

880
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.320
You know what God told me?

881
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.280
My word for 2026?

882
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.920
He said, Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

883
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:10.800
And this is what he said next.

884
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.880
He said, if you can control it, control it.

885
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.560
And if you can't, give it to me.

886
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.240
Jackie, don't waste one moment on worry in 2026.

887
00:48:20.240 --> 00:48:21.880
If you can control it, control it.

888
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.160
And if you can't, not control fear,

889
00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:25.520
not control worry,

890
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:27.760
control the thing that you're worried about.

891
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:32.040
If you can control it, then control it.

892
00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:34.240
But if you can't control it, don't worry about it,

893
00:48:34.240 --> 00:48:35.400
give it to me.

894
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:39.040
Understand, Jesus Cares Board should be alive and well

895
00:48:39.040 --> 00:48:40.520
in 2026.

896
00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:43.760
You should have more things than ever on that board

897
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:45.600
for God to participate in.

898
00:48:45.600 --> 00:48:47.280
All right, number two.

899
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:49.640
Number one, not everyone deserves access to your dream.

900
00:48:49.640 --> 00:48:52.200
Sometimes silence is the way you're gonna steward your dream.

901
00:48:52.200 --> 00:48:53.880
You're not gonna tell anyone right now

902
00:48:54.560 --> 00:48:56.160
you're just going to talk to the Lord about it.

903
00:48:57.160 --> 00:48:58.800
You're gonna put it on your Jesus Cares Board.

904
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:00.000
You're gonna pray over it.

905
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.280
That's what you're gonna do.

906
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:02.120
All right, number two.

907
00:49:02.120 --> 00:49:07.120
Wise counsel is very different than fearful commentary.

908
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.800
Sometimes fear sounds wise, doesn't it?

909
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.120
It sounds wise when it's coming at us

910
00:49:14.120 --> 00:49:16.280
from someone that we trust and respect.

911
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:19.160
But you guys, if it causes you to walk away afraid,

912
00:49:19.160 --> 00:49:21.400
it was not wise, it was fear.

913
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:26.680
If you walk away with some clarity, like, yeah, okay.

914
00:49:26.680 --> 00:49:28.440
Some clarity has come.

915
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.480
Cool, it was probably wise counsel.

916
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:31.960
If you walk away being afraid,

917
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:33.320
wondering if you should even do this,

918
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:38.320
more confused than when you started, that was not wisdom.

919
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:40.760
Wisdom does not cause confusion.

920
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:41.840
All right, y'all are just staring at me

921
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:43.080
like a cow at a new gate.

922
00:49:43.080 --> 00:49:44.680
Does anyone learn anything today?

923
00:49:44.680 --> 00:49:47.520
Raise your hand, give me some hearts, some emojis.

924
00:49:47.520 --> 00:49:49.240
Some of y'all need to inform your face

925
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.360
that you're having a good time up in here.

926
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.200
Because I'm thinking of the scripture,

927
00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:58.520
do not look at their faces.

928
00:49:58.520 --> 00:50:00.160
Continue to speak.

929
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.280
Do not regard their stern expressions.

930
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:06.360
You guys know I like to have fun.

931
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.640
All right, wise counsel will ask you clarifying questions.

932
00:50:10.640 --> 00:50:12.620
They'll ask you why you want your dream.

933
00:50:12.620 --> 00:50:15.820
They'll ask you what your plan is for your dream.

934
00:50:15.820 --> 00:50:18.600
This is a good person to bounce things off of.

935
00:50:18.600 --> 00:50:20.020
They're gonna ask you questions.

936
00:50:20.020 --> 00:50:22.600
They're gonna ask you, hey, have you ever thought of this?

937
00:50:24.080 --> 00:50:25.220
What about this?

938
00:50:26.200 --> 00:50:29.260
Neutral, not negative, not necessarily even positive,

939
00:50:29.260 --> 00:50:33.260
just neutral questions, things to make you think, all right?

940
00:50:33.260 --> 00:50:36.640
Fearful commentary is gonna give you worst case scenarios.

941
00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:40.220
They're going to try to give you worst case scenarios.

942
00:50:40.220 --> 00:50:42.160
They're gonna try to talk about the liability

943
00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:45.000
of the decision, the liability of the path

944
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:47.660
or the course or the idea, all right?

945
00:50:47.660 --> 00:50:50.060
Only that thing, and it's gonna be through the lens

946
00:50:50.060 --> 00:50:52.920
of the glass is half empty, or you better watch your back,

947
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.320
you better sleep with one eye open kind of idea.

948
00:50:56.460 --> 00:50:58.300
It's okay, wise people will ask you

949
00:50:58.300 --> 00:50:59.620
if you've counted the costs.

950
00:50:59.620 --> 00:51:04.620
They'll ask you if your schedule can support this dream.

951
00:51:06.260 --> 00:51:09.620
I've been doing this with one of my leaders just recently.

952
00:51:09.620 --> 00:51:12.580
I've been coming as a voice of wisdom, not negativity

953
00:51:12.580 --> 00:51:15.300
and saying, hey, do you have room in your life for this?

954
00:51:16.660 --> 00:51:18.860
I do all of that with you guys too.

955
00:51:18.860 --> 00:51:21.300
When I coach you guys, like, hey, you really want marriage,

956
00:51:21.300 --> 00:51:24.020
but do you have the bandwidth for marriage?

957
00:51:24.020 --> 00:51:25.780
Marriage takes up a lot of time.

958
00:51:25.780 --> 00:51:28.260
Dating towards marriage takes up a lot of time.

959
00:51:29.100 --> 00:51:32.020
Have you cleared the way for your dream?

960
00:51:32.020 --> 00:51:33.620
Dreams will require pruning.

961
00:51:33.620 --> 00:51:37.260
They will require letting go of things,

962
00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:40.060
even good things in order to get great things.

963
00:51:40.060 --> 00:51:41.060
We won't get into that today.

964
00:51:41.060 --> 00:51:42.680
That's a whole different conversation,

965
00:51:42.680 --> 00:51:45.120
but wise counsel will ask you those questions.

966
00:51:46.260 --> 00:51:49.940
They won't just, oh, yay, wonderful, okay.

967
00:51:50.860 --> 00:51:52.340
I'm so excited for you.

968
00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:56.460
No, they'll say, hey, I know that you want this promotion

969
00:51:56.460 --> 00:51:59.780
at work, but you're a single mom.

970
00:52:01.340 --> 00:52:03.300
And every time I come over your house,

971
00:52:03.300 --> 00:52:06.160
you're always behind the eight ball.

972
00:52:07.420 --> 00:52:09.780
Are you gonna get some help at home?

973
00:52:09.780 --> 00:52:11.420
Like, what's gonna look like at home

974
00:52:11.420 --> 00:52:13.140
for you to take this promotion?

975
00:52:13.140 --> 00:52:13.980
Are you gonna get some help?

976
00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:16.380
Are you gonna ask for some help?

977
00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:18.620
Are you going to use this extra money that you're making

978
00:52:18.620 --> 00:52:20.920
and employ some help at home?

979
00:52:22.140 --> 00:52:25.740
There is no harm and no foul to use some extra money

980
00:52:25.740 --> 00:52:27.700
to do things that you don't have time to do.

981
00:52:27.700 --> 00:52:29.900
Like someone come and clean once a month,

982
00:52:29.900 --> 00:52:33.180
someone maybe pre-order or pre-make you some food.

983
00:52:33.180 --> 00:52:35.860
You know, there's no harm in that stuff, friends.

984
00:52:35.860 --> 00:52:37.580
Don't think you have to do it all yourself

985
00:52:37.580 --> 00:52:39.900
because if you think you have to do it all yourself,

986
00:52:39.900 --> 00:52:42.120
you will try and you will also fail.

987
00:52:44.180 --> 00:52:46.100
Okay, all right.

988
00:52:46.100 --> 00:52:49.300
So fearful people will say, you know,

989
00:52:49.300 --> 00:52:50.980
what if you lose everything?

990
00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:54.760
They'll just say things that it's wisdom,

991
00:52:55.900 --> 00:52:59.100
it's not wisdom, but it's fear dressed up as wisdom.

992
00:52:59.100 --> 00:53:00.700
It's fear dressed up as wisdom.

993
00:53:00.700 --> 00:53:03.980
And you'll know the difference by how you feel inside

994
00:53:03.980 --> 00:53:06.760
when you leave their presence, okay?

995
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:07.600
Right?

996
00:53:08.740 --> 00:53:10.180
Because this is what I want you to know.

997
00:53:10.180 --> 00:53:12.260
Even if it's someone that you really love dearly,

998
00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:13.680
fear is still fear.

999
00:53:14.700 --> 00:53:16.260
Fear is still fear.

1000
00:53:16.260 --> 00:53:17.660
Fear is always fear

1001
00:53:17.660 --> 00:53:21.000
even when the source it's coming from loves you.

1002
00:53:21.160 --> 00:53:24.160
They may love you, but there's no fear in love.

1003
00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:25.400
Amen, amen.

1004
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:26.560
All right, we got to hurry.

1005
00:53:26.560 --> 00:53:27.720
I said I was going to get off early

1006
00:53:27.720 --> 00:53:29.160
and now I'm going to go over

1007
00:53:29.160 --> 00:53:31.360
the danger of small thinking circles.

1008
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:33.360
You guys, you have to stay away from people

1009
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:36.160
who are dream killers because they just think too small.

1010
00:53:37.080 --> 00:53:40.520
They are the us for and no more mentality people.

1011
00:53:40.520 --> 00:53:43.000
They have made a comfort zone out of being mediocre.

1012
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.320
They have made a comfort zone out of status quo.

1013
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.960
They've made a comfort zone out of single-mindedness.

1014
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.800
They have made a comfort zone out of being a single mom.

1015
00:53:51.500 --> 00:53:54.900
They have made a comfort zone out of the single season.

1016
00:53:57.160 --> 00:53:58.000
They're the people that say,

1017
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.920
oh yeah, being married would be nice.

1018
00:54:00.920 --> 00:54:03.860
Mm-hmm, oh, wouldn't that be nice?

1019
00:54:03.860 --> 00:54:05.720
Oh, I wish that would happen.

1020
00:54:05.720 --> 00:54:08.760
No, friends, those are not your people.

1021
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.360
Also, the people that say marriage

1022
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:13.760
and wanting marriage is an idol,

1023
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:15.320
those are also not your people.

1024
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:17.800
But you know where your people are?

1025
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:18.640
Right here.

1026
00:54:19.640 --> 00:54:23.640
But we are knowing that God gave it to us as a dream

1027
00:54:23.640 --> 00:54:25.960
and we're doing our part and we're letting God do his part

1028
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.240
and we're coming here and we're supporting each other

1029
00:54:28.240 --> 00:54:29.880
in life, not just in singleness.

1030
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:32.600
We're supporting each other's dreams in other areas.

1031
00:54:32.600 --> 00:54:34.960
We're speaking truth and wisdom over each other.

1032
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:36.600
We're praying for each other.

1033
00:54:36.600 --> 00:54:38.400
This is a great place to be.

1034
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:40.920
Stay out of small thinking circles.

1035
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:43.000
Some people cannot see the life

1036
00:54:44.200 --> 00:54:46.000
that they could have beyond the life

1037
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:47.600
that they've settled for.

1038
00:54:47.600 --> 00:54:49.760
I'm gonna say that 15 more times.

1039
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:52.840
They cannot see, they don't have vision

1040
00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:54.480
for the life that they could have

1041
00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:56.760
beyond the life that they've settled for.

1042
00:54:58.080 --> 00:54:59.080
This is what they say.

1043
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.440
settled for and this is all they can see.

1044
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:04.320
And because you don't want to settle,

1045
00:55:06.240 --> 00:55:11.020
they're going to think that you're unrealistic.

1046
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.220
Now thinking this way doesn't make them evil.

1047
00:55:14.220 --> 00:55:15.060
They're not bad people.

1048
00:55:15.060 --> 00:55:15.880
They're not evil people.

1049
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:17.540
They might even be people that you love,

1050
00:55:17.540 --> 00:55:19.940
but it does make them unsafe for your vision.

1051
00:55:21.260 --> 00:55:23.860
People that have no vision perish.

1052
00:55:23.860 --> 00:55:24.700
And you guys,

1053
00:55:24.700 --> 00:55:26.360
that doesn't mean that they just fall down

1054
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:27.200
and give up the ghost.

1055
00:55:27.200 --> 00:55:28.440
They don't just fall down and croak

1056
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:29.840
as my grandpa would say.

1057
00:55:31.160 --> 00:55:33.500
It just means that there's areas of their life

1058
00:55:33.500 --> 00:55:36.880
that are dead and they're not going to be resurrected

1059
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:38.680
unless they decide that they want those things

1060
00:55:38.680 --> 00:55:39.920
to be resurrected.

1061
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.200
And so that means that your dream is not safe with them.

1062
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.040
Why do you think Jesus said to his disciples,

1063
00:55:48.040 --> 00:55:49.700
let the dead bury the dead?

1064
00:55:49.700 --> 00:55:51.600
He wasn't talking about the dead.

1065
00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:54.600
It was metaphorical.

1066
00:55:55.600 --> 00:55:58.240
Metaphorical.

1067
00:55:58.240 --> 00:55:59.400
You understand, right?

1068
00:56:01.240 --> 00:56:02.440
He's like, hey, follow me.

1069
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:04.360
I'm going to go show you a different life.

1070
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:06.360
I'm going to go show you a kingdom.

1071
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:08.560
Let the people who can't see the kingdom

1072
00:56:08.560 --> 00:56:10.920
deal with the people who can't see the kingdom.

1073
00:56:12.680 --> 00:56:13.960
Dead in their vision.

1074
00:56:17.520 --> 00:56:20.880
You guys, are you guys picking up when I'm laying down?

1075
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:22.920
I know it's a lot for a Saturday morning.

1076
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.060
I know it's a lot.

1077
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.240
You guys, what I call the border bullies,

1078
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:32.040
the people that are going to keep you from crossing over

1079
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:33.000
into the promised land,

1080
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:35.240
they often come in the form of family, friends,

1081
00:56:35.240 --> 00:56:37.320
well-meaning other believers.

1082
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:38.920
Maybe they love Jesus,

1083
00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:41.880
but they just don't have a lot of vision for dreams.

1084
00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:46.280
Okay, people can love Jesus and also not be living the life

1085
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:47.920
that Jesus died to give them.

1086
00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:51.440
They can.

1087
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.240
And no offense, but some of you are those people.

1088
00:56:53.240 --> 00:56:56.040
And I love you, but you are those people.

1089
00:56:56.040 --> 00:56:58.760
And I'm hoping to kind of wake you up a little bit

1090
00:56:58.760 --> 00:56:59.680
because we don't want to sleep.

1091
00:56:59.680 --> 00:57:01.000
What did the Proverbs say?

1092
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:05.180
Proverbs says, let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1093
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:09.740
Let's not sleep during our day of opportunity.

1094
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:13.600
They're not going to block you with force,

1095
00:57:13.600 --> 00:57:14.520
these people that you love.

1096
00:57:14.520 --> 00:57:15.760
They're not going to block you with force,

1097
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:18.520
but they are going to block you by sowing subtle seeds

1098
00:57:18.520 --> 00:57:21.400
of fear and doubt and discouragement.

1099
00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:23.400
That is what's going to block you.

1100
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.440
You've got to stay away from that in 26

1101
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.960
if you want to live out and manifest some of your dreams.

1102
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:30.800
Amen.

1103
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:32.400
All right, Father God, I thank you for today.

1104
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:33.600
I thank you for this session.

1105
00:57:33.600 --> 00:57:35.640
I thank you for this truth that you've spoken over us.

1106
00:57:35.640 --> 00:57:38.040
We could go and go and go on this topic,

1107
00:57:38.040 --> 00:57:40.920
but we thank you, Lord, for what you have spoken to us.

1108
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:42.800
And through us, Lord, we pray, God,

1109
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:44.460
that we would get ahold of this

1110
00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:46.000
and that this seed that was sown today

1111
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.040
would be watered and watered frequently

1112
00:57:49.040 --> 00:57:53.400
by voices of hope and courage and vision

1113
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:55.480
so that we can go forward into everything

1114
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:57.220
that you have for us.

1115
00:57:57.220 --> 00:57:59.040
In Jesus' name, amen.

1116
00:57:59.040 --> 00:57:59.880
I love y'all.

1117
00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:01.800
I'm giving you time to get over to Wisdom Challenge.

1118
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:05.240
Go to your resource page, register, and I'll see you there.

1119
00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:06.080
See you soon.
