1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.500
All right. Welcome to Supernatural Saturday, you guys. Today is February 14th, also known

2
00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:12.300
as Valentine's Day. And you know, people make a big deal about this holiday. We'll call

3
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:17.220
it a holiday lightly. I mean, the origins of it are pretty macabre. St. Valentine and

4
00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:21.260
all the different things, you know, what happened later. I mean, obviously all of the saints

5
00:00:21.260 --> 00:00:25.540
were martyred in some way, but the bottom line is, is that we have made this into a

6
00:00:25.540 --> 00:00:32.619
very huge pressure cooker for singles, right? It's like, Oh, I got to have someone on Valentine's.

7
00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:36.500
I want to have a Valentine. And it starts all the way back in grade school. Doesn't

8
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:41.400
it? I don't know about you guys, but I went to parochial school. I went to Catholic school

9
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:48.380
from first grade. I'm sorry, from second grade to fifth grade. And we had a lot of events.

10
00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:53.580
We had a lot of celebrations in private school. And one of the things that we did, and we

11
00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:56.780
did this in public school too. Now that I'm thinking about it, in fact, it kind of got

12
00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:04.220
worse as I got older, if I'm being honest. But one of the things that we did is we had,

13
00:01:04.220 --> 00:01:08.020
you know, you're, you're supposed to make a little Valentine's box. Did you guys do

14
00:01:08.020 --> 00:01:13.420
this as well? We made a Valentine's box or you brought a bag and you decorated it. And

15
00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:18.820
they had you do this before Valentine's getting ready. The anticipation of Valentine's was

16
00:01:18.820 --> 00:01:24.260
building and building and building and building. You know, you're making this box and you're,

17
00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:28.100
you're decorating or you're making a special bag. And what was that for? Everyone in the

18
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:33.020
class was supposed to bring a Valentine. You guys, they still sell them. But when we were

19
00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:37.420
kids, that's all they sold. And that was a little paper Valentine's that came in the

20
00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:42.340
box. You took them out. You, you took them off their perforation. You separated them

21
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:46.580
and you wrote on the back of them, or you just wrote someone's name. Usually just wrote

22
00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:50.700
someone's name on it because the card said everything that you needed to say. It said,

23
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:57.900
you're cute. It said, um, I like you or, you know, it said something like, you're awesome.

24
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:02.180
You know, just something kind of neutral. And of course you wanted to take the ones.

25
00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:07.740
Yeah. We had conversation hearts. We had a little hearts, a little, the little candies.

26
00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:12.860
I just had a Valentine's, um, wasn't really a Valentine's, but it's around Valentine's

27
00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:17.300
day, but we had a singles event here in Austin, Texas called off the apps. And I ordered a

28
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:22.820
bunch of cookies that look like conversational hearts. And those were a big hit. And those

29
00:02:22.820 --> 00:02:28.340
were super cute. Let me see what this says real quick. It says start AI. Oh yeah. My

30
00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:34.100
AI companion wants to come into the meeting to take notes for me. This is a feature of

31
00:02:34.100 --> 00:02:40.620
zoom. You guys, it's not mine. Okay. And so we'd be waiting and anticipating and you know,

32
00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:44.820
Usually we had a crush or someone we liked, even in grade school, you had a boy or a girl

33
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:50.140
that you hoped would give you, you know, one of those better Valentine's in your bag, something

34
00:02:50.140 --> 00:02:56.060
that gave you some sort of clue, some sort of idea, how they felt about you, right? That

35
00:02:56.060 --> 00:03:00.300
they thought you were pretty, or they thought that you were fun or just whatever. And so

36
00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:07.020
I will tell you that I have been five, eight since the fifth grade. I'm five 10. Now, um,

37
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:14.500
the boys didn't like me. Um, so boys, how do you like me now? Um, but they didn't like

38
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:19.060
me then you guys, they didn't like me in grade school. They also didn't like me in high school.

39
00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:25.260
I was taller than most boys until later in the years. And so in high school, even I had

40
00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:29.740
an out of town boyfriend. I was one of those girls that had an out of town boyfriend. I

41
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:36.340
had a boy that I met at camp who also is my ex-husband and the father of my daughter Reagan.

42
00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:41.260
And I met him when I was 12, you guys. And so we had a long distance, like writing love

43
00:03:41.260 --> 00:03:46.740
letter relationship. From the time we were 12, we started dating in person at 16. We

44
00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:53.700
broke up at not at, we broke up at 17. We started dating in person at 15. We broke up

45
00:03:53.700 --> 00:04:00.860
at 17. We got back together at 19. We got married at 20. We got divorced at 32. Okay.

46
00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:05.420
So, um, yeah, not kind of the love story that you want, but it was, it was a love story

47
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:10.340
that I have when I was a kid, but I never had proximity love story. I never dated a

48
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:15.180
boy that came to my house and picked me up that went to my school. And some of you guys

49
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:19.500
had those. Um, but Valentine's day has always been a lot of pressure. I remember in high

50
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:24.900
school, the Valentine's, the paper Valentine's turned into about two weeks before Valentine's

51
00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:30.620
day during your lunch period, you could buy a carnation. They had white ones, red ones

52
00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:34.780
and pink ones, and they all meant something different. The red ones meant love. The pink

53
00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:41.780
meant, I don't know, like maybe, and the white ones meant friendships. You could give them

54
00:04:41.780 --> 00:04:47.740
to your same sex friends, you know, and people were popular at got a lot of those. And then

55
00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:52.220
during homeroom on Valentine's day and if Valentine's day was on the weekend, it would

56
00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:58.420
be that Friday homeroom. They would deliver these carnations and everybody would wait

57
00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:00.020
for the knock on the homeroom.

58
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.680
from door of that flower delivery was usually the student council because it was some kind

59
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.740
of fundraiser for them and they would show up and those carnations would be marked with

60
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:15.780
people's names and they would start handing them out.

61
00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:20.740
You guys, I think that I said this on a prayer morning, but I never got any carnations, not

62
00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:21.740
from friends.

63
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:22.740
I was really bullied in school.

64
00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:25.540
I didn't have a lot of friends in school that went to my school.

65
00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:30.540
I had a lot of friends that I knew from other places, but not from school.

66
00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:39.540
And one year during lunch period, I specifically went to a lunch period of a lesser grade where

67
00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:45.380
no one knew me and I sent some carnations to myself.

68
00:05:45.380 --> 00:05:50.100
So that when that homeroom door knock happened and they came in with the carnations, I wouldn't

69
00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:53.700
be sitting there with all the other losers that didn't have a carnation.

70
00:05:54.460 --> 00:05:55.460
And you know what?

71
00:05:55.460 --> 00:05:57.460
There's nothing wrong with buying flowers for yourself, ladies.

72
00:05:57.460 --> 00:06:01.420
If you want to buy flowers for yourself today, you do it, girl.

73
00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:02.980
You buy flowers for yourself.

74
00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:08.060
Gentlemen, if you want to buy yourself some candy or donuts or pastries or whatever it

75
00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:10.540
is that guys want, some banana bread.

76
00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:13.620
I heard that men want banana bread for Valentine's day.

77
00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.740
My husband is over here saying, yes, he does want that.

78
00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:23.220
And so if you want some banana bread, then dang it, either make yourself some, there's

79
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:30.020
good recipes on the internet, or you can buy yourself some because it's okay to treat

80
00:06:30.020 --> 00:06:31.020
yourself.

81
00:06:31.020 --> 00:06:34.260
And I just want to let you guys know, this is not the subject of today's Supernatural

82
00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:41.660
Saturday, but it's okay to treat yourself, treat yourself.

83
00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:43.180
It's all right.

84
00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:46.540
Make sure that you're taking care of you.

85
00:06:46.540 --> 00:06:50.080
You want something today, treat yourself.

86
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:53.520
It's important that we understand that we're in a love relationship with ourselves way

87
00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:57.960
before we let someone else join the party.

88
00:06:57.960 --> 00:06:58.960
That's not conceited.

89
00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:00.480
That's not narcissistic.

90
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.240
If you don't love yourself, actually it will come out in your choices.

91
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.320
It will come out in the choices that you make about everything about food, about clothing,

92
00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:13.280
about rest, taking some time to rest.

93
00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:17.840
It'll, it'll come out in obviously your romantic choices.

94
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:21.920
And so it's really important that we start to love ourselves.

95
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.320
You want to take yourself out tonight?

96
00:07:24.320 --> 00:07:26.800
Good luck getting a reservation even for one anywhere.

97
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.120
But if you want to take yourself to a movie, if you want to take yourself somewhere this

98
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.120
weekend, then you need to do it.

99
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.640
Sorry guys, I just got off the news and I'll talk about that in a second and my mouth is

100
00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:39.640
kind of dry.

101
00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:40.640
Okay.

102
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:45.120
So also, also we have a speed dating event.

103
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.240
We have partnered with arc for a speed dating event.

104
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.960
It's not today on Valentine's day, it is tomorrow on Sunday.

105
00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:57.140
And the link to join that is in the resource group in your app.

106
00:07:57.140 --> 00:08:00.600
So whatever app group you're in, go to the resource tab, click it and you will find the

107
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.640
link to get registered for that.

108
00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:04.640
And it's tomorrow.

109
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.640
It's not today.

110
00:08:05.640 --> 00:08:06.640
All right.

111
00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:12.400
I went and saw that solo mio also with a gallon time with my friend, Bethany, we went and

112
00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:13.720
saw solo mio.

113
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:14.760
It was kind of slow.

114
00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:16.400
It was really cute.

115
00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:17.480
I love the ending.

116
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.760
If you haven't seen it, the endings fun.

117
00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:24.120
So yeah, go see it for sure.

118
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.120
And support angel angel productions.

119
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:34.000
You know that that's, I mean, it's, they're making wholesome stuff.

120
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.000
You know, they're the, they're the original producers of the chosen and they're making

121
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.000
good stuff.

122
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.000
Okay.

123
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.280
So yeah, go see that angel studios.

124
00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:48.600
They're making some, some better, some better stuff that doesn't have all the gratuitous

125
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.200
sex and violence and profanity.

126
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:58.800
Um, I do have friends that use that, that app to cleanse the movies.

127
00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:02.040
You can watch all the popular movies, but you can watch it through, I think it's called

128
00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:03.040
angel as well.

129
00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:05.200
Is that what it's called?

130
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.880
Angel video or something?

131
00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:12.060
No, that the thing that cleanses the movies and takes all the crap out of them.

132
00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:13.380
It's called Vin angel.

133
00:09:13.380 --> 00:09:14.380
I have it.

134
00:09:14.380 --> 00:09:15.380
Okay.

135
00:09:15.380 --> 00:09:16.380
There you go.

136
00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:17.380
Bit angel.

137
00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:18.380
I knew that angel was in the title.

138
00:09:18.380 --> 00:09:21.780
So you guys, you can, you can buy that subscription and you can watch movies and you can decide

139
00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.900
what you want taken out.

140
00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:28.220
There's some movies that the movie would probably only be 20 minutes long if you had all the

141
00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:30.980
stuff taken out that you didn't want to see.

142
00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:37.380
But yeah, that's also, um, and also an option for those of you that want to watch some of

143
00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:41.380
your favorite movies, but you feel kind of convicted about the fact that they have a

144
00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:44.420
bunch of garbage in them, right?

145
00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:49.340
Movies are trash nowadays and you're watching a movie and it's really good.

146
00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:53.940
And you get really just get slimed by it because eventually they have some kind of scene in

147
00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.820
there where you're like, that wasn't even necessary.

148
00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:58.100
It wasn't necessary to the plot.

149
00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:00.020
They just have to put it in there because it's propaganda.

150
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.760
now, right? And they're trying to desensitize us to violence or

151
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:07.960
to gore or to, you know, sex outside of covenant relationship.

152
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.920
And, you know, a lot of movies are just even soft pornography

153
00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:15.560
nowadays. And so we definitely have to be careful of that. So

154
00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:19.840
also not what Supernatural Saturday is about. Supernatural

155
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.440
Saturday is kind of about what happened to me today. So today I

156
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.440
was on ABC in New York City at the Disney at Disney Productions

157
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.720
at Disney studios. I was on remote from here, from my

158
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.480
podcast studio, but I was invited to be there in person.

159
00:10:36.280 --> 00:10:40.680
You guys, I've done about four or five news clips this this

160
00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:46.680
week. Six, my husband's saying six, I did six appearances on

161
00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:50.360
different news broadcasts on television all over the country,

162
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:55.120
Las Vegas, Idaho, Atlanta. You know, so we are spreading the

163
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:58.240
word about last year's single. So expect a lot of new people

164
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.360
in this net, you know, new men, ladies in this net, because men

165
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.520
watch the news. And so I did that. And then I did some

166
00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:09.960
podcasts this week. I also did some radio interviews this week

167
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.400
on on drive time, which is mainly men listening as well to

168
00:11:14.400 --> 00:11:18.440
that. What's so exciting about that is not just throwing out

169
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.760
the net to bring in new people, but God is really getting the

170
00:11:20.760 --> 00:11:24.440
word out of what we're doing around here. And you know, it's

171
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.880
really fun. But you know, Valentine's week is is my Super

172
00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:32.000
Bowl. It's my Super Bowl. Because this is the week where

173
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:38.000
everyone has their minds focused on love. And so if you are

174
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.800
having a hard time, because you're having FOMO on Valentine's

175
00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:45.440
Day, there's no reason for you to have FOMO. You need to take

176
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.840
care of yourself, love yourself well. Understand that this could

177
00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:54.520
be your last Valentine's Day single. And also understand that

178
00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:58.200
people put their highlight reels of all the presents they got or

179
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.040
the dinner they're going to but those relationships are trash.

180
00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:08.560
Are you listening to me? Not all of them, but a lot of them. You

181
00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:12.080
guys I know a lot of married folks and you do too that their

182
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.400
relationships are really not that great. Are they? They don't

183
00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:19.280
get along they fight. They make all kinds of underhanded

184
00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:24.880
comments to each other. There's just a lack of respect. There's

185
00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:29.680
a lack of humility. There's a lack of honor. Marriage is

186
00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.600
struggling out there. And so it's good that you've been in

187
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.560
here doing the work so that you don't have a marriage like that.

188
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.840
No marriage is perfect. And there's always going to be

189
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.920
conflict. But healthy conflict and conflict are not the same

190
00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:44.960
thing. And so when you see people's highlight reels of

191
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.960
people posting their bouquets of roses in there, and they're

192
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.520
trips and their dinners and all the things you need to

193
00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:57.320
understand that that is for the gram. Who knows what those

194
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.040
relationships are like behind closed doors. And I'm just going

195
00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:04.160
to tell you, because this is what I do, as my vocation,

196
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.160
marriage is struggling, and a lot of married people are

197
00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:11.040
struggling. So do not think the grass is greener on the other

198
00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:16.080
side, it is good that you are taking time to defuse the bombs

199
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.320
that are waiting to go off someday in marriage so that that

200
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.000
doesn't happen. So that's good stuff. Okay. So you might say,

201
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.120
Jackie, why are you not in New York City? Why aren't you there

202
00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:31.560
taking advantage of that amazing opportunity? Well, I'm glad you

203
00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:36.480
asked. Because I had the flights booked, I had the hotel room

204
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:40.960
booked. And you guys it is what's it called fashion week in

205
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.160
New York City right now. And so it was stacked in New York City,

206
00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:46.840
it was hard to find a hotel room, I really had to do a lot

207
00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:50.640
of, you know, digging and research to be able to get there

208
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.480
in the first place. And then I just had to cancel it. And the

209
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.800
reason why I had to cancel it is because I wasn't ready for it.

210
00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:02.440
And that is what today's Supernatural Saturday is about.

211
00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:05.960
So I want to ask you this question, have you ever in your

212
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.520
life had an opportunity come? And you couldn't take it? And it

213
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:13.960
wasn't because God didn't open the door for you? It wasn't

214
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.600
because you didn't have favor, it was because you were not

215
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:24.440
ready. You were not ready. And I wasn't ready, you guys, because

216
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.160
I've been putting off some really important things that

217
00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:31.480
have to do with my hormones. I've been so busy with you guys

218
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.080
last year single and all the things that we do behind the

219
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:39.400
scenes to try to get that net out there to get more singles in

220
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:43.600
to make more community based matches, to give you guys what

221
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.880
you need. And I love what I do. But the problem is, is that I've

222
00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:49.320
neglected some things that I need to be doing for myself. I

223
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.920
took a sabbatical last summer for the same reason. I didn't

224
00:14:52.920 --> 00:14:55.560
take a sabbatical because I wanted to you guys I took a

225
00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:59.000
sabbatical because I hit a wall. It was a forced sabbatical

226
00:14:59.000 --> 00:14:59.960
because my body just

227
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.800
thought it stopped working. My digestive health stopped working. I lost over 20 pounds

228
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:10.720
because I couldn't eat. It was just not a good scene. And you would think I would learn from

229
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.760
that. And I did learn some things from that, but guess what? A lot of times, as soon as whatever

230
00:15:15.760 --> 00:15:20.320
the crisis is, it's over. It doesn't matter if it's a health crisis or some other kind of crisis,

231
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:25.280
we're a hundred miles an hour back at the same old crap as we were before because we didn't learn

232
00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:29.520
our lesson. And I just want to tell you that I believe that there's all kinds of amazing

233
00:15:29.520 --> 00:15:35.600
opportunities with your name on them in 2026. We're only 45 days in friends. That's it. 45

234
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:40.800
days into 2026. And I believe that there's all kinds of open doors, all kinds of favor,

235
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:45.600
all kinds of things over the horizon that you cannot see coming that are coming, but God is

236
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.600
giving us a grace period right now to get ready for them right now. That was what was on my heart.

237
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:56.000
Jackie, use this as an example, kind of air, your dirty laundry, let people know that you're

238
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:01.200
not perfect. Let them know that you're, you know, we're in the same pants as they are basically.

239
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:10.160
But I didn't learn. I learned some things. Okay. I did, um, from my crash out last summer,

240
00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:17.520
but I still have been busy doing other things and not getting this hormone stuff regulated.

241
00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:22.960
And ladies over 50, you know what I'm talking about? You know, menopause is it's a whole thing.

242
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:28.320
It's a whole thing. And it affects how you feel. It affects your energy level. It affects your

243
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.240
sleep. And so that's something that has been really affected for me lately. They try to

244
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.600
change my, my dose of hormones. And when they changed it to fix one thing, they broke five

245
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:46.080
other things. And so I really, really want it to go. I want it to go to New York city.

246
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.720
I want it to be on ABC live in New York city at Disney studios. I wanted to do that. And you know

247
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:56.000
what? There'll be more opportunities. I'm sure of it, but God is giving me this grace period,

248
00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:01.200
this acknowledgement of, Hey, you know what? You miss this opportunity because you weren't

249
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.640
ready because you've been putting things off that you don't need to be putting off anymore.

250
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:13.280
So this is not a condemnation session. This is not a pressure session, but this is a revelation

251
00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:19.280
session for us to do what we need to do in order to be ready for what God has for us.

252
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.240
Okay. And the other thing that I was doing is I overscheduled myself as well.

253
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.040
So even if I was feeling great and I was sleeping great, my hormones were balanced and all that

254
00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:35.120
stuff was great. I still would have really put myself in some, in a bad situation to take this

255
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:41.680
opportunity because I had myself all scheduled out with all kinds of other things this week,

256
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.760
including a singles event. And that's not a bad thing, but that singles event ended late at night,

257
00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:52.400
11, 12 o'clock at night. And I would have had to leave at four o'clock the next morning to go to

258
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:59.360
New York. And while four hours of sleep is plenty, if you don't have to do that all the time,

259
00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:03.200
I already was only getting like four hours of sleep. So there was just all kinds of reasons

260
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.320
why it just wasn't the right thing to do. And I got to take the opportunity. I was on remote.

261
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.480
I just didn't get to go there in person. So let me ask you this, be honest with yourself,

262
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:22.240
be honest with God. He already knows. So you can't lie to him. What have you been putting off?

263
00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:28.240
You can tell us nothing. We don't know because we don't know your private prayer history.

264
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:33.600
We don't know your procrastination history. We don't know what your house looks like,

265
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.240
or your closets look like. We don't know what your schedule looks like. Only you know that.

266
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.640
So you're on the honor system right now. What have you been putting off? Also,

267
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.400
what haven't you scheduled that needs to get scheduled? And you think about it all the time.

268
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.400
Oh, I need to do that. I need to do that. I need to do that. I need to do that. I need to schedule

269
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.760
someone to come and pick up this junk in my front yard. I need to do that. You're like,

270
00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:58.880
well, how does the junk in my front yard have to do with my love life? It is taking up bandwidth.

271
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:05.280
It is taking up margin. Whether you know it or not, we are like a browser with a million windows

272
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:11.520
open. Have you ever had a million windows open on your browser? All the ladies should be saying yes,

273
00:19:11.520 --> 00:19:16.560
because I know you do. Right? Every once in a while, I have to take my phone and I have to

274
00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:23.440
swipe up and I have to close every single app that I have open. And it's usually about 50 or 60.

275
00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:28.240
Because let's go from one thing to another, one thing to another. I know that we pride ourselves

276
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:36.160
on multitasking, but it gets a little crazy after a while. Okay. So what paperwork isn't done?

277
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.560
Someone has paperwork out there that needs to be finished.

278
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.640
Paperwork that you haven't filled out. Maybe it's for registration for something.

279
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:51.920
Maybe it's filling out something so that you can get an upgrade on something. I don't know,

280
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:57.040
but someone has paperwork out there that hasn't been done. Cindy's saying it's retirement paperwork.

281
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.800
Come on.

282
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.960
What haven't you gotten finished?

283
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:10.120
What part of your house, your apartment,

284
00:20:10.120 --> 00:20:14.400
your condo, your townhome, you're double wide?

285
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.500
No judgment.

286
00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.340
I think it'd be fun.

287
00:20:16.340 --> 00:20:18.640
I actually am like, I'd like to live in an RV.

288
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.000
I like to live in a van down by the river, okay?

289
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.120
I'm good.

290
00:20:26.120 --> 00:20:28.680
Smaller spaces that are more organized.

291
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.380
But what part of your home is still in chaos?

292
00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:35.800
What part of your house is still a browser window open

293
00:20:35.800 --> 00:20:37.600
just draining your battery,

294
00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:40.040
draining your energy continuously?

295
00:20:40.040 --> 00:20:41.840
You guys, we're in a grace period.

296
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:43.000
The theme, if you need a theme

297
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.680
for Supernatural Saturday today, it is grace period.

298
00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:51.160
God is giving us a pregnant pause

299
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.040
to be able to do what we need to do.

300
00:20:53.040 --> 00:20:54.680
You know, ladies that have had children,

301
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.540
go ahead and liken it to nesting.

302
00:20:56.540 --> 00:20:57.960
Getting done a whole bunch of stuff

303
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.140
because you know that in the days to come,

304
00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:01.460
you're not gonna have time to do that

305
00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:04.360
because you're gonna be busy loving on

306
00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:06.940
and enjoying the promises of God.

307
00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:10.320
Does that resonate with anyone?

308
00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:11.360
Being able to enjoy,

309
00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:12.800
for those of you that have never had children,

310
00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:16.720
there's this, like biologically, like from your body, okay?

311
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.620
What happens is, is you go into this state during your,

312
00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:22.000
usually during your second and third trimester

313
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.440
where you're just getting a whole bunch of stuff done.

314
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:25.640
It's called nesting.

315
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:26.860
And the reason why you're doing it

316
00:21:26.860 --> 00:21:30.140
is because your body knows biologically,

317
00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:31.980
it's kind of hardwired in us,

318
00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:35.180
that after the promise gets here, the baby,

319
00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.960
after the promise gets here,

320
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.820
you will not have time to do that stuff.

321
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:40.420
And that stuff needs to be done.

322
00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:42.380
So whether it's building a nursery,

323
00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:44.820
whether it's buying little tiny clothes

324
00:21:44.820 --> 00:21:48.140
or getting diapers ready or cooking and freezing meals,

325
00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:51.860
if you have other children and a husband, whatever it is,

326
00:21:51.860 --> 00:21:53.700
you know, you're getting that stuff done

327
00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:56.100
because you want to make sure

328
00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:59.220
that you can step into that new season

329
00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:04.060
without any kind of, you know, stress.

330
00:22:05.340 --> 00:22:08.380
And you guys, God wants us to step into this new season,

331
00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:11.760
2026, without tripping over the threshold

332
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:14.880
and going flying into the new season, face first.

333
00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:19.660
I've already missed one opportunity in 2026,

334
00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:22.500
and I can tell you right now, I'm not gonna miss anymore.

335
00:22:24.260 --> 00:22:25.620
I'm not gonna miss anymore.

336
00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:28.500
So what conversation, let's get practical.

337
00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:30.700
What conversation still needs to be had?

338
00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.800
It hasn't happened.

339
00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:34.980
What conversation still needs to happen

340
00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:37.540
to your employer about the unpaid overtime

341
00:22:37.540 --> 00:22:38.780
that you're working?

342
00:22:38.780 --> 00:22:41.940
Maybe the conversation is to your elderly parents

343
00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:44.660
because they expect you to be there 24 seven

344
00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:46.080
and you have a life too.

345
00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:48.700
You can't be there 24 seven.

346
00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:49.620
I know you love your mom.

347
00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:50.460
I know you love your dad.

348
00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:51.740
I know you love your uncle, your aunt,

349
00:22:51.780 --> 00:22:54.900
whoever the elderly person is that you're taking care of,

350
00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.980
but you can't.

351
00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:58.940
Maybe it's to your children that you can't be,

352
00:22:58.940 --> 00:23:01.320
you can't be Nona, you can't be grandma or grandpa.

353
00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:04.300
You can't be their babysitting service 24 seven

354
00:23:04.300 --> 00:23:05.380
because you have a life too.

355
00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:08.620
You love your grandkids, but you have a life too.

356
00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:09.940
Maybe that's the conversation.

357
00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:12.260
Maybe you have to have a conversation with an assistant

358
00:23:12.260 --> 00:23:15.180
live because it's time for mom or dad to go there,

359
00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:16.740
whether they like it or not.

360
00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:18.940
I remember when my father-in-law moved to Texas,

361
00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:21.300
he wanted to live out here in the country.

362
00:23:21.300 --> 00:23:24.860
We have plenty of room, but he has macular degeneration.

363
00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:27.380
We were gonna have to take his car keys when he got here.

364
00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:28.820
Part of the reason why we moved him here

365
00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:31.580
is because his neighbors were telling us

366
00:23:31.580 --> 00:23:34.700
that he was driving blind, okay?

367
00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:37.260
He was knocking over garbage cans.

368
00:23:37.260 --> 00:23:39.340
He was doing all kinds of stuff out there in Reno

369
00:23:39.340 --> 00:23:40.180
where he lived and we're like,

370
00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:42.420
hey, Rob, it's time for you to come

371
00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:44.260
and live in Texas near family.

372
00:23:44.260 --> 00:23:45.900
And he's retired from the Air Force,

373
00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:47.860
so he has an amazing pension.

374
00:23:47.860 --> 00:23:50.660
So unlike a lot of, you know, senior citizens,

375
00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:54.460
he's 86 years old, he has the finances to live

376
00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:57.060
in what I call one of these resorts for old people.

377
00:23:58.260 --> 00:23:59.980
You guys, I would live there.

378
00:24:01.020 --> 00:24:03.420
It's for 55 and up, and actually I'm almost there.

379
00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:05.620
I'm 51, so I can live there soon, can't I?

380
00:24:05.620 --> 00:24:07.580
It's like a cruise ship.

381
00:24:07.580 --> 00:24:10.140
You walk in, it's beautiful, like a hotel,

382
00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:13.340
and it has a, you know, it has a beautiful restaurant

383
00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:16.260
that serves amazing food three, four times a day and snacks.

384
00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:19.340
There's a lounge and a bar, they have happy hour.

385
00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:21.460
There's a gym, there's a movie theater.

386
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.660
It's like a cruise ship.

387
00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:24.420
And then he has a nice one-bedroom apartment

388
00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:25.260
on the third floor.

389
00:24:25.260 --> 00:24:26.420
There's an elevator, of course,

390
00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:27.740
and all the different things.

391
00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:29.940
And so I, we went and toured these places

392
00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:32.980
and I let him know, hey, you're gonna move here.

393
00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.740
You can afford it with no problem.

394
00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.980
It's not a stretch.

395
00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:39.700
And you're gonna be around your peers.

396
00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:42.100
You're gonna be around people to talk to and things to do.

397
00:24:42.100 --> 00:24:44.540
And, you know, they have a shuttle that takes people

398
00:24:44.540 --> 00:24:46.420
anywhere and everywhere they wanna go

399
00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:48.740
because you can't drive anymore.

400
00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.940
You gotta take your keys.

401
00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:50.900
And we hate to do that.

402
00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:53.860
We know you've, you know, it's sad when people lose parts

403
00:24:53.860 --> 00:24:54.980
of their independence, you guys,

404
00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:57.020
but it's for their safety and the safety of other people.

405
00:24:57.020 --> 00:24:58.700
And he knew that he needed to do it.

406
00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:00.300
So it wasn't a wrestling away.

407
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.560
But these are conversations that need to be had and I don't know why I'm staying so long

408
00:25:03.560 --> 00:25:07.680
on this because it's really important for some of you, I think.

409
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.480
But he wanted to live out here on our property and you guys, there's nothing out here.

410
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.080
It's several miles to the concrete jungle.

411
00:25:15.080 --> 00:25:17.640
You have to be able to drive if you live out here.

412
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.640
And we're super busy.

413
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.240
We own our own company and we also have other things that we're super busy with and all

414
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.520
the things he would have been isolated out here.

415
00:25:24.520 --> 00:25:29.000
No one to talk to, nothing to do most of the time, nowhere to go anywhere unless we took

416
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:30.000
him.

417
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.360
It would have been a bad decision.

418
00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:34.680
And so I know that a lot of you are like, well, I'd love for, I'd love to take care

419
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:40.760
of my, my mother, my father, my elderly grandmother, whoever it is in your home.

420
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:44.200
Make sure that you're, you're not doing that out of misplaced loyalty.

421
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.760
You need to do what's best for you and for them.

422
00:25:46.760 --> 00:25:47.760
Okay.

423
00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:51.900
For you and for them, it has to be a win-win situation.

424
00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:54.440
And so he is so happy he's lived there for three years now.

425
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:57.440
And he talks all the time about how much he loves it there.

426
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.440
He loves it there.

427
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.360
So maybe that's the conversation you need to have.

428
00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:01.360
Okay.

429
00:26:01.360 --> 00:26:05.760
Whatever those conversations are, they are, and like I said, they're, they're draining

430
00:26:05.760 --> 00:26:09.000
your energy because you haven't had them yet.

431
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.000
So let's make sure that we have those conversations.

432
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.000
All right.

433
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:16.660
So there are things that are coming to you right now, go ahead and put them in the chat.

434
00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:18.440
This is an interactive supernatural Saturday.

435
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:20.320
I see some people already put stuff up.

436
00:26:20.320 --> 00:26:25.080
You know, some of you, you've been knowing that you need to move for a long time.

437
00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:26.080
Okay.

438
00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.360
They raised your rent.

439
00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:28.800
You need to look for a better place.

440
00:26:28.800 --> 00:26:30.160
You need to look for a better job.

441
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.320
Some of you have been needing to look for a better job for a long time, and then you'd

442
00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:36.000
be able to afford to live where you're living now.

443
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.680
Some of you have roommates that it's time for them to go.

444
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:42.280
It's been time for them to go for a long time.

445
00:26:42.280 --> 00:26:43.280
It's your house.

446
00:26:43.280 --> 00:26:44.360
You love it.

447
00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:45.360
You've had roommates.

448
00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:49.000
Maybe you don't need it financially anymore, but you need to make room for your spirit

449
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.200
mate because guess what?

450
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.400
Your spirit mate is not going to want to live in a house with you and roommates.

451
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:54.400
Okay.

452
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.400
So maybe that's the situation that you need to resolve.

453
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.080
All of us have things that we need to do because when our time of visitation comes, you guys,

454
00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.080
it's going to come.

455
00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:06.480
Let me liken it to labor.

456
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.920
When labor comes, there's no, Oh wait, wait, wait, I got to go do this first.

457
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:10.920
No, there's none of that.

458
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.360
And remember when Jesus was walking the earth, there were people that could have been part

459
00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:18.520
of Jesus's posse.

460
00:27:18.520 --> 00:27:23.120
I know that he only chose 12 and I know that that's the recorded history, but we don't

461
00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:24.120
know.

462
00:27:24.840 --> 00:27:27.640
There could have been other people that could have been part of that inner circle, but when

463
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:32.760
he passed by their town, they wanted to go, but they couldn't because they had too many

464
00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:34.720
loose ends to tie up.

465
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.520
And some of them made good excuses like, Oh, Hey, let me go bury my father.

466
00:27:38.520 --> 00:27:42.200
And Jesus was like, let the bed, let the dead bury the dead.

467
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:47.840
Jesus was like, look, you know, if it's not the right timing for you, then just go do

468
00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:50.120
what you got to do because we got to move forward.

469
00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:51.760
And you guys, the kingdom is moving forward.

470
00:27:51.760 --> 00:27:53.940
It's a forward moving model.

471
00:27:54.760 --> 00:27:58.100
And so we don't want to miss out on any more opportunities, do we?

472
00:27:58.100 --> 00:28:00.220
And once again, you guys, it's not about condemnation.

473
00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:03.460
And so if you leave supernatural Saturday today, feeling like a loser and feeling bad

474
00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:07.540
about yourself and feeling FOMO of all the things you've missed out on, you're missing

475
00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:08.660
the point.

476
00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:14.180
The point is, is that 2026 only has 45 days crossed off on the calendar.

477
00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:16.340
There's a whole year in front of us.

478
00:28:16.340 --> 00:28:21.300
And I believe that it's a year where the siege is over and the manifestation is here of the

479
00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:22.860
promises of God.

480
00:28:22.860 --> 00:28:27.780
We've already seen that happening in the first 45 days of this year with long awaited prayers

481
00:28:27.780 --> 00:28:28.780
being answered.

482
00:28:28.780 --> 00:28:33.180
Are you ready to take advantage of your day of visitation?

483
00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:37.420
Are you, are you ready to estate planning?

484
00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:39.420
You know, we need to do that.

485
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.860
I'm only 51 years old.

486
00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:41.860
We're healthy.

487
00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:45.580
David is 54 years old, but we don't have a will.

488
00:28:45.580 --> 00:28:47.940
We don't have an estate.

489
00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:49.180
My mom didn't leave a will.

490
00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:51.500
She passed away at 64 years old.

491
00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:53.940
She didn't leave a will or an estate.

492
00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:59.020
She didn't leave anything to her children from her first marriage, me and my older brother.

493
00:28:59.020 --> 00:29:02.100
I'm taking care of my older brother who's been homeless.

494
00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:05.740
I'm the one that helped him get into a house.

495
00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:10.140
My mom's money just went to, you know, her spouse when she passed away.

496
00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:15.360
He doesn't have necessarily, you know, he's not our father, so he doesn't necessarily

497
00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:20.140
have any, you know, I mean, in my opinion, he does.

498
00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:24.700
But you know, things could have been different.

499
00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:30.340
If my mom would have taken care of her business, if she would have tied up her loose ends.

500
00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:32.960
And so it's important that we do that friends.

501
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.860
It's important that we do that.

502
00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:38.940
You know, it's, it's important that we get done what we need to get done, however, however

503
00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:40.880
that needs to happen.

504
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.020
And so I see people talking about how they need to get their health in order.

505
00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:49.300
There's some of you that, you know, you've got some situations going on with your hormones.

506
00:29:49.300 --> 00:29:56.540
You got some situations going on with all different types of things and you need to

507
00:29:56.540 --> 00:29:58.340
get them resolved.

508
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.020
You need to get them resolved.

509
00:30:01.020 --> 00:30:02.980
I'm just looking through here, weight loss.

510
00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:05.140
Guys, I had a client that came in

511
00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:06.580
and she had some huge breakthroughs.

512
00:30:06.580 --> 00:30:07.760
I thought of her this morning.

513
00:30:07.760 --> 00:30:09.500
So I'm glad someone said weight loss

514
00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:14.220
because it's not about you not being able to attract someone.

515
00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:17.220
It's not necessarily about the way you look or attraction.

516
00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:20.340
It's about your health and it's about your energy level.

517
00:30:20.340 --> 00:30:22.500
It's about all kinds of different things.

518
00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:24.300
And if you say, oh, I have lots of energy now,

519
00:30:24.300 --> 00:30:25.380
I'm a hundred pounds overweight.

520
00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:28.260
I have a lots of energy and I think I look good.

521
00:30:28.260 --> 00:30:29.860
Well, you know what?

522
00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:32.700
Wait till you're 10 years older than now, right?

523
00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:34.420
15 years older than now.

524
00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:35.860
I can say at 51 years old,

525
00:30:35.860 --> 00:30:37.940
it's hard to get the weight off already.

526
00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:39.300
It's gonna even get harder

527
00:30:39.300 --> 00:30:41.180
and you're gonna start feeling worse and worse.

528
00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:44.580
So, you know, you can make excuses or we can make progress.

529
00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:46.540
So she came into my program.

530
00:30:46.540 --> 00:30:47.740
She was only in her thirties,

531
00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:50.780
but she's probably 150 pounds overweight.

532
00:30:50.780 --> 00:30:52.940
And she had gone through a divorce.

533
00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:54.980
In fact, you guys that have been here for a while

534
00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:56.500
have heard me tell her story before.

535
00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:58.580
Her husband ghosted her.

536
00:30:58.580 --> 00:31:00.700
He just didn't come home from work one day.

537
00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:02.340
No explanation.

538
00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:04.100
And then she got divorce papers in the mail.

539
00:31:04.100 --> 00:31:05.420
She called missing persons.

540
00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:07.860
She thought something terrible had happened to him.

541
00:31:07.860 --> 00:31:10.660
She didn't even let her know that he was leaving.

542
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:13.660
That's a trauma, you guys.

543
00:31:13.660 --> 00:31:16.580
That's a big T trauma to go through.

544
00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:18.660
Until someone contacted her,

545
00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:20.980
I think it was several days later

546
00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:25.580
and let her know that, you know, that he wanted a divorce.

547
00:31:27.140 --> 00:31:28.420
No explanation of why.

548
00:31:29.260 --> 00:31:30.220
She thought they had a great marriage.

549
00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:31.060
That's even worse.

550
00:31:31.060 --> 00:31:32.300
If you have a really, you know,

551
00:31:32.300 --> 00:31:34.340
if you have a trash marriage where you're always fighting

552
00:31:34.340 --> 00:31:37.540
and it's always bad, you know, then that makes sense.

553
00:31:37.540 --> 00:31:40.740
But when everything's copacetic and everyone seems happy

554
00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:44.700
and someone does that, that's a big T trauma.

555
00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:47.020
So she came into our community with that trauma

556
00:31:47.020 --> 00:31:49.620
and we helped her do hard work and we helped her unpack it.

557
00:31:49.620 --> 00:31:51.740
And God did some miracles along the way.

558
00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:54.180
After being in our community for about a year and friends,

559
00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:57.060
she needed a year of healing, at least a year of healing.

560
00:31:58.980 --> 00:32:02.500
And when she was in for about a year or more,

561
00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:04.140
she ran into her husband.

562
00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:06.540
Remember, she had never seen him ever again.

563
00:32:06.540 --> 00:32:08.180
The divorce was done by paperwork.

564
00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:09.340
It was done by mail.

565
00:32:09.340 --> 00:32:10.460
She never talked to him.

566
00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:12.220
She never got a chance to find out.

567
00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:13.580
She never got any closure.

568
00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:15.980
She ran into him at a coffee shop.

569
00:32:18.620 --> 00:32:20.860
And now it had been six years or more

570
00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:21.980
since this had happened.

571
00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:23.820
She'd only been with us for a year and a half,

572
00:32:23.820 --> 00:32:27.100
but that had happened to her

573
00:32:27.100 --> 00:32:29.100
at least five or six years before.

574
00:32:29.100 --> 00:32:31.420
And when she ran into him, he's like,

575
00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:32.900
I'm so glad I'm running into you.

576
00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:34.900
I've wanted to contact you for years

577
00:32:34.900 --> 00:32:37.420
and just let you know that this is about nothing about you.

578
00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:38.940
It was all about me.

579
00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:41.100
He wanted to meet up with her and talk more.

580
00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:43.420
She said, yes, she got closure.

581
00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:45.180
She got to understand what was going on

582
00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:46.100
in his life at the time.

583
00:32:46.100 --> 00:32:48.020
She'd already forgiven him.

584
00:32:48.020 --> 00:32:51.100
And maybe that's the work that you need to do.

585
00:32:51.100 --> 00:32:53.260
Those are the loose ends that you need to tie up.

586
00:32:53.260 --> 00:32:55.340
Maybe you haven't done that forgiveness work.

587
00:32:55.340 --> 00:32:57.060
For those of you that are just starting with us

588
00:32:57.900 --> 00:33:00.380
in phase one, you need to focus on your heart work.

589
00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:02.780
Please make sure that you do that

590
00:33:02.780 --> 00:33:04.660
because that is the best thing that you can do

591
00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:08.220
to make sure that you're prepared for what's coming in 26.

592
00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:11.140
God has you on an accelerated plan.

593
00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:12.660
And it's important that you do this

594
00:33:12.660 --> 00:33:16.140
so that you don't have to continue to pull off the freeway,

595
00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:18.380
liken it to a race car that keeps having

596
00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:19.940
to go into the pit stop.

597
00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.980
You don't want to do that.

598
00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:22.780
You want to keep going, right?

599
00:33:22.780 --> 00:33:25.420
And so she got this.

600
00:33:25.420 --> 00:33:27.780
Let's make sure everyone's muted.

601
00:33:27.780 --> 00:33:30.020
She got this beautiful gift.

602
00:33:30.020 --> 00:33:31.620
And we don't always get that gift, you guys.

603
00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:34.540
We don't all get the apology that we deserve all the time.

604
00:33:34.540 --> 00:33:36.500
It's true, we don't.

605
00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:39.220
We have to forgive people who are never going to be sorry.

606
00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:40.300
That is true as well.

607
00:33:41.300 --> 00:33:43.860
But she did get that gift and that was beautiful.

608
00:33:43.860 --> 00:33:45.100
And so then after that,

609
00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:46.580
she was really ready to start dating.

610
00:33:46.580 --> 00:33:48.740
And she got out there and she realized

611
00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:51.140
that her weight was causing her.

612
00:33:51.140 --> 00:33:52.540
She's beautiful, by the way.

613
00:33:53.340 --> 00:33:55.420
Beautiful, inside and out.

614
00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:57.980
But her weight was causing her.

615
00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:59.940
It wasn't that people didn't want to go out with her

616
00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:01.100
because of her weight,

617
00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:05.060
but she didn't want to go out with people

618
00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:06.180
because of her weight.

619
00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:08.780
It was affecting her self-esteem.

620
00:34:08.780 --> 00:34:11.219
It was affecting how she viewed herself.

621
00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:14.820
It was affecting about whether or not she wanted to,

622
00:34:14.820 --> 00:34:17.940
you know, get married and have naked time in the future.

623
00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:20.420
We used to have a program of preparation

624
00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:22.500
where we were walking and eating Whole Foods

625
00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:25.540
and drinking water called Getting Ready for Naked, ladies.

626
00:34:25.540 --> 00:34:30.100
GRFM, or no, GRFN, GRFN.

627
00:34:30.100 --> 00:34:32.340
Instead of get ready with me, it was get ready for naked.

628
00:34:32.340 --> 00:34:34.420
And one of our ladies, one of our OGs

629
00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:36.659
made that acronym up back in the day

630
00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:39.500
because she was getting ready for naked.

631
00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:41.900
And gentlemen, that applies to you too.

632
00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:43.780
We don't want to see all that, okay?

633
00:34:44.820 --> 00:34:46.580
Come on, get it together.

634
00:34:46.580 --> 00:34:50.699
Do some manscaping, men's shape too, just so you know,

635
00:34:50.739 --> 00:34:53.300
and not just your face, all right?

636
00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:55.219
Go get a little wax, a wax, wax,

637
00:34:55.219 --> 00:34:56.739
if that's what you need to do.

638
00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:59.700
If you have hair on your chest, good.

639
00:34:59.700 --> 00:35:00.540
If you have-

640
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.200
Hair on your back?

641
00:35:01.200 --> 00:35:03.360
Nah, nah, that's a nah.

642
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.640
That's a nah for me and many women too.

643
00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:08.880
My husband's over here laughing.

644
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.640
Okay, so maybe that was just some practical things

645
00:35:11.640 --> 00:35:12.640
that need to happen.

646
00:35:12.640 --> 00:35:15.720
Anyway, friends, she started with a trainer.

647
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:17.120
She started losing weight.

648
00:35:17.120 --> 00:35:19.300
She did what she needed to do.

649
00:35:19.300 --> 00:35:21.680
She came to our first Austin retreat

650
00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:24.240
where we had a say yes to the dress.

651
00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:25.680
She didn't like the way that she looked

652
00:35:25.680 --> 00:35:27.440
in those wedding dresses when she tried them on.

653
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.360
That also became a catalyst for her.

654
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:31.200
And guess what?

655
00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:33.360
On that day, she did fall in love with a dress

656
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:36.000
that she couldn't wear at her current weight,

657
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:37.960
but we purchased that dress for her

658
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:39.420
here at Last Year Single.

659
00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.760
We bought that dress for her.

660
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:43.120
We sent that dress home for her,

661
00:35:43.120 --> 00:35:45.160
even though she didn't have a boyfriend yet

662
00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:47.680
because she loved it so much

663
00:35:47.680 --> 00:35:50.680
and she did what she needed to do, you guys,

664
00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:53.080
so that when she did cross paths

665
00:35:54.040 --> 00:35:56.720
with her future spirit mate,

666
00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:59.560
that she would feel good about herself

667
00:35:59.560 --> 00:36:01.680
and feel ready in herself.

668
00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:02.960
And she's happily married, y'all,

669
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.200
and she's been happily married for some time now.

670
00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:07.040
And so praise the Lord.

671
00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:08.700
Okay, all right, you guys,

672
00:36:09.580 --> 00:36:12.440
what healing step have you delayed?

673
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:14.800
What are you not doing?

674
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.020
What are you not doing?

675
00:36:16.020 --> 00:36:17.160
All right, so you guys all know,

676
00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:18.520
I was supposed to go to New York City.

677
00:36:18.520 --> 00:36:19.400
I didn't get to go,

678
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.080
and it wasn't because the door wasn't open.

679
00:36:21.080 --> 00:36:23.840
These are important facts about this situation.

680
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:25.860
And it wasn't because I wasn't qualified.

681
00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:28.060
I did the interview remote and I killed it.

682
00:36:28.060 --> 00:36:29.540
You know, I did, y'all.

683
00:36:29.540 --> 00:36:30.580
So it was great.

684
00:36:30.580 --> 00:36:31.580
It was a great interview.

685
00:36:31.580 --> 00:36:34.060
And it wasn't because God doesn't favor me.

686
00:36:34.060 --> 00:36:36.040
It was because my hormones are out of whack.

687
00:36:36.040 --> 00:36:37.440
I didn't go get the testing done.

688
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.120
I've had the test scripts to get the testing done

689
00:36:40.120 --> 00:36:41.820
to find out what's going on with my hormones

690
00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:44.500
and how we can balance them for a while now.

691
00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:47.580
And I just have not prioritized getting there.

692
00:36:47.580 --> 00:36:48.700
I can spiritualize it.

693
00:36:48.700 --> 00:36:49.820
I can call it warfare,

694
00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:51.860
but it's just plain old procrastination, you guys.

695
00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:54.500
It's plain old over-scheduling on my part.

696
00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:55.740
I'm over-scheduled.

697
00:36:56.580 --> 00:36:58.300
Once again, I didn't learn my lesson from this summer,

698
00:36:58.300 --> 00:37:00.760
but I promise you, I'm gonna learn it now.

699
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:02.620
Because I made a decision when I had to cancel

700
00:37:02.620 --> 00:37:04.100
those flights to go to New York City

701
00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:06.060
that this isn't gonna happen again.

702
00:37:06.060 --> 00:37:07.580
And I want you to make a decision

703
00:37:07.580 --> 00:37:09.860
that this isn't gonna happen again for you,

704
00:37:09.860 --> 00:37:11.020
fill in the blank.

705
00:37:11.020 --> 00:37:12.700
You are going to be able to step

706
00:37:12.700 --> 00:37:15.060
into your time of hesitation when it comes,

707
00:37:15.060 --> 00:37:17.020
because we're mismanaging our time.

708
00:37:17.020 --> 00:37:18.500
We're mismanaging our bodies.

709
00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:20.420
We're mismanaging a lot of things.

710
00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:22.800
And remember, there's a lot of stories in the Bible

711
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:26.000
that are not about you being special

712
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:27.360
or you being qualified.

713
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:28.640
They're about timing.

714
00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:29.880
There's a lot of stories in the Bible

715
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:31.800
that are about management.

716
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.200
In fact, I can think of one scripture that says

717
00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:37.000
that if you're faithful over a few things,

718
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.200
the little things that he will give you more

719
00:37:40.200 --> 00:37:41.560
to be faithful over, right?

720
00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:43.560
You'll become ruler over many things.

721
00:37:43.560 --> 00:37:44.600
What's ruler mean?

722
00:37:44.600 --> 00:37:46.960
You'll have authority over more stuff.

723
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.000
Is anyone resonating with me today?

724
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:51.900
Come on, you guys.

725
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.860
Let me go up in that chat here and see.

726
00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:59.800
Someone's like, I need to get rid of that sugar.

727
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:01.280
God's been on me to get rid of that sugar.

728
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:04.880
Some of you guys' A1C looks like an SAT number.

729
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:09.880
No, friends, get it down, get it down, get it down.

730
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:11.600
You don't have to be diabetic.

731
00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:14.320
You don't have to be pre-diabetic, gonna be diabetic.

732
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:15.440
You can get it down.

733
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.440
Why, how?

734
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.440
Hydrate, get off the sugar, prioritize fiber.

735
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.320
We live in a protein society.

736
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:26.000
Eating too much protein makes me fat, specifically meat.

737
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:29.160
If I eat a lot of meat, I'm gonna be a big girl, okay?

738
00:38:29.160 --> 00:38:31.040
And so fiber is your friend.

739
00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:32.680
Make sure you're getting fiber.

740
00:38:32.680 --> 00:38:34.800
Some of you guys have put off, you know,

741
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.160
you hit a certain age and you gotta get a certain test,

742
00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:39.920
you know, and I'm not about big pharma,

743
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.800
but I am about preventative things like colonoscopies.

744
00:38:43.720 --> 00:38:45.040
You might wanna get that done.

745
00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:46.800
You might wanna see what's been going on in there

746
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.800
for the last 50 years.

747
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.460
I think 50 is the age that you get that at.

748
00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:53.300
So yes, I have had that.

749
00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:56.340
And you guys may or may not wanna try this,

750
00:38:56.340 --> 00:38:58.780
but I actually did mine unmedicated.

751
00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:01.460
I did mine without anesthesia because I found out

752
00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:04.420
that you're allowed to request to do it.

753
00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:06.940
And it's not bad at all, you guys.

754
00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:08.660
It doesn't, it's not painful at all

755
00:39:08.660 --> 00:39:10.140
in any way, shape or form.

756
00:39:10.140 --> 00:39:11.940
Now, if you're afraid of medical stuff

757
00:39:11.940 --> 00:39:13.700
and you're afraid of, you know,

758
00:39:13.700 --> 00:39:15.540
you have the fear of being in pain,

759
00:39:15.540 --> 00:39:17.460
then, you know, go ahead and let them knock you out,

760
00:39:17.460 --> 00:39:19.180
get a driver, drive you home.

761
00:39:19.180 --> 00:39:22.200
But doctors do it unmedicated.

762
00:39:22.200 --> 00:39:23.100
I found that out.

763
00:39:23.100 --> 00:39:25.060
And so I did that as well.

764
00:39:25.060 --> 00:39:26.940
And guess what?

765
00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:28.980
In and out, in and out, fast, fast, fast.

766
00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:29.820
It was good.

767
00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:32.900
All right, so let's talk about a couple scriptures.

768
00:39:32.900 --> 00:39:35.240
And you guys, these are more spiritual contacts.

769
00:39:35.240 --> 00:39:37.100
They have to do with the return of Christ.

770
00:39:37.100 --> 00:39:38.620
Let's just talk about it.

771
00:39:38.620 --> 00:39:40.060
The gospel of Matthew.

772
00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:44.940
And we see that the parable of the 10 virgins,

773
00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:47.740
five are ready, five are not, right?

774
00:39:48.700 --> 00:39:50.940
The difference, preparation.

775
00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:53.220
They all believed that what they were waiting for

776
00:39:53.220 --> 00:39:54.060
was coming.

777
00:39:54.060 --> 00:39:54.980
And this is what I'm going to liken it to,

778
00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:58.220
because yes, I understand what these scriptures are about.

779
00:39:58.220 --> 00:39:59.400
The second coming of Christ.

780
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:00.240
I understand.

781
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.200
they're about, but we can use this as an example during what we're talking about right now.

782
00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:10.000
And why can we, because it's about being prepared for what you believe is coming.

783
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:16.240
Remember how I always say that belief requires action. Preparation is that action. So they all

784
00:40:16.240 --> 00:40:19.280
believed that the bridegroom was coming at some time. They didn't know the day they didn't know

785
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:24.960
the hour, but they knew he was coming and five were ready. And guys, I want to propose this to

786
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:31.440
you. All of you gentlemen included that if you really believe that your spirit mate was coming,

787
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:36.960
you would stay prepared for that. You would stay prepared for them. You would continue to do what

788
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:41.440
happens is, is that we actually really don't believe in the promise anymore. It's been too

789
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:48.160
long on one of my, my most recent Instagram videos. You guys I'm on fire over there.

790
00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:51.680
You're going to have to go watch my videos because I have been wild and out. You guys

791
00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:54.960
see me wild and out back here, but the public doesn't know that version of me.

792
00:40:55.680 --> 00:41:00.320
So I've been, I've been saying all kinds of crazy stuff. And one of the things I said is that

793
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:06.320
people believe that God is running the worst DMV ever the worst DMV ever, because you take

794
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:10.800
a number and you sit down, but they don't call your number until you're too old to drive.

795
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.520
Okay. That's what a lot of people believe about the promises of God. It's like, Oh,

796
00:41:15.520 --> 00:41:20.320
I'm here in the waiting room. I'm in the waiting room. You know, the things that you want,

797
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.840
some of them have an expiration date on them. So God's got to give them to you now.

798
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:30.320
And it could be possible that you're not even recognizing opportunities simply because you're

799
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:35.280
that unprepared for them. And so I really want you to get ready. So the people that were ready,

800
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:40.240
the versions in this parable, they had reserve. That's what the oil represents. They had reserve.

801
00:41:40.240 --> 00:41:47.360
They had margin. Okay. They had extra, they had readiness. They were ready. They were ready.

802
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.120
Okay. So God is not punishing us because we're unprepared. I want to make sure that

803
00:41:51.120 --> 00:41:56.960
you're not hearing that in today's supernatural Saturday, but the door still closes the door to

804
00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:04.000
go to New York closed for me today. You need to see that. Yes. A, a less, a less good door opened.

805
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:10.160
I got to be on there remotely, but being in person that would have been gold.

806
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:14.960
So I got the bronze medal instead of instead of the gold medal. Okay. And so we just want

807
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:21.040
to make sure that we're, we're prepared for gold. Proverbs 24, seven, put your outdoor work in order

808
00:42:21.040 --> 00:42:28.880
and get your fields ready. After that, build your house order proceeds expansion. You guys,

809
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:34.960
we got to put things in order. If we want to be in a building phase, God wants to build with you.

810
00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:40.160
He does. And if we build without him, we're building in vain. That's what it also says

811
00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:44.640
in Proverbs, but God provides for his lovers even while they're sleeping. That's what it

812
00:42:44.640 --> 00:42:52.000
also says in Proverbs. So if we get stuff ready, if we clean out the bucket, God will fill it.

813
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:59.920
It's important. Okay. So we don't build the house first. We don't, we prepare the field first.

814
00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:04.800
See that. Hold on a second. I want to see something here.

815
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:12.400
Is that my beautiful Vicky and her boyfriend there? All right. So Vicky did a couple years

816
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:17.520
of prepping in here for this blessed day. It's a perfect example right there. And now

817
00:43:17.520 --> 00:43:21.680
she's showing up on Valentine's day on supernatural Saturday with her man. Hi, Vicky's man.

818
00:43:23.200 --> 00:43:27.440
Oh, with flowers. Lookie there. Come on, you guys. Let's celebrate with our sister.

819
00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:35.760
Go ahead. And if you ladies remember, cause I'm a geo or OG, excuse me. I'm so excited. I can't

820
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:42.320
remember. I was, I was only praying for a canine to love. That's true. Well, I was working through

821
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:49.760
my health issues. Yeah. David showed up when I unhid my dating profile for 15 minutes because

822
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:54.720
it'd been hidden. I wasn't looking. I wanted a dog. I unhid it for 15 minutes. I was praying

823
00:43:55.200 --> 00:44:01.040
I wanted a dog. I unhid it for 15 minutes. He clicked. Like, I love that. You guys remember

824
00:44:01.040 --> 00:44:08.160
that word that we had in 20 and 24 about David's from the field coming. And so I love the name,

825
00:44:08.160 --> 00:44:13.440
David, obviously I'm married to David as well. And so David, welcome. So glad that you're here

826
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:18.320
with us. And so glad that you're there with Vicky. That's so exciting, Vicky. Thank you so much for

827
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:26.240
sharing. All right, you guys come on. Whoever's given up hope and it's showing in your preparation.

828
00:44:26.240 --> 00:44:32.080
Let's get back on the preparation train. Okay. Luke 16, 10, let's go here. Whoever can be trusted

829
00:44:32.080 --> 00:44:36.960
with little can also be trusted with much. That's the scripture that I quoted a little bit earlier

830
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:41.200
from a different translation. If we can manage the small things in our lives, you guys,

831
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:47.280
God can trust us in authority with bigger things. Why would heaven increase the weight on you?

832
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:52.160
God loves you. Why would he give you, you know, why would he put more weight on you?

833
00:44:52.160 --> 00:44:56.560
If you can't already handle the weight that's on you now, God doesn't want to crush you.

834
00:44:57.120 --> 00:44:59.760
He doesn't want to put more weight on the foundation.

835
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.080
Say this in the challenge.

836
00:45:01.080 --> 00:45:04.440
And a lot of you came through that challenge back in the day, but if you're

837
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.840
going to build an addition onto your house and look relationship, romantic

838
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:11.880
relationship, family, marriage is a huge addition that you're putting onto your

839
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:12.400
house.

840
00:45:12.720 --> 00:45:15.240
If you call the contractor, the very first thing they're going to do is look

841
00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:17.800
at your foundation and see if your foundation can handle it.

842
00:45:19.240 --> 00:45:21.480
If not, they're going to, they're going to recommend foundation

843
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.600
work before they start building.

844
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:27.720
If they're a credible contractor, otherwise the whole thing's going to come

845
00:45:27.720 --> 00:45:31.480
down and you guys, I've seen plenty of people come running in here a thousand

846
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:34.080
miles an hour, thinking that they're ready, not wanting to do the work, just

847
00:45:34.080 --> 00:45:36.520
wanting to get to the romance part of things.

848
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:42.080
And they do get there really quickly and then crash.

849
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:42.960
Okay.

850
00:45:43.680 --> 00:45:48.080
They start running into all kinds of attachment style wounds and trauma stuff.

851
00:45:48.080 --> 00:45:51.640
They start, they pick people who are not healthy because they're not healthy.

852
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:53.360
I mean, just all kinds of things happen.

853
00:45:53.600 --> 00:45:57.000
And so if we can't manage the small things, why would have an increase the

854
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:57.320
weight?

855
00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:59.800
And it's important to understand that God's not looking for perfection.

856
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.000
You guys, he's looking for readiness.

857
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:02.360
I'm going to say that 15 more times.

858
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:05.160
If you need me to, he's not looking for perfection.

859
00:46:05.640 --> 00:46:07.120
He's looking for readiness.

860
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:09.320
You just do your part.

861
00:46:09.560 --> 00:46:12.360
He's got to do his, and I'm not talking about just your romance.

862
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:13.760
I'm talking about everything.

863
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:17.120
You do your part and he will do his part.

864
00:46:18.120 --> 00:46:19.680
A lot of us never make it to God's part.

865
00:46:19.680 --> 00:46:21.640
We're constantly praying for God to do his part.

866
00:46:21.640 --> 00:46:22.320
Do your part.

867
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:23.560
Oh God, do your part.

868
00:46:23.560 --> 00:46:24.240
Do your part.

869
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:25.800
God, I need you to do your part.

870
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.560
And yet our part is sitting here undone.

871
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.760
And without knowing it, we're unconsciously saying, God, I'll do my

872
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:36.400
part after I see you do yours.

873
00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:43.400
God, I'm not going to break my own heart by getting ready and then showing up

874
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:45.640
and being like, did I shave my legs for this?

875
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:48.680
I've been disappointed too many times, God.

876
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:52.560
And so I'm going to need you to do your part first before I do my part.

877
00:46:52.560 --> 00:46:53.080
No friends.

878
00:46:53.080 --> 00:46:54.040
That's not how it works.

879
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:58.040
Faith without movement, without action is dead religion.

880
00:46:59.080 --> 00:47:02.880
If you believe it, act on it, do your part.

881
00:47:03.120 --> 00:47:04.400
You're not going to be disappointed.

882
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:06.640
You're not going to be disappointed.

883
00:47:07.560 --> 00:47:10.720
The times that we've been disappointed is because we've been out of timing.

884
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:14.880
We've been trying to do things that, you know, haven't, haven't

885
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:16.720
been the best things for us.

886
00:47:17.080 --> 00:47:19.760
Um, but we just want them because we're trying to fill some sort

887
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.560
of God shaped hole in our lives.

888
00:47:21.560 --> 00:47:23.920
There's all different reasons why that happens.

889
00:47:24.200 --> 00:47:26.280
And then there's just a process with God's promises.

890
00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:27.040
There's a process.

891
00:47:27.040 --> 00:47:29.000
There's a maturity process inside of us.

892
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:31.680
Once again, not perfection, just readiness.

893
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:36.360
You don't give your keys to your Ferrari, to a five-year-old you don't.

894
00:47:37.200 --> 00:47:40.440
When they're 16, you might, if they're responsible 16 year old,

895
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:41.880
but not when they're five.

896
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:42.760
Okay.

897
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:44.320
And so God's not trying to crush you.

898
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:46.280
There's another scripture in Proverbs that says, and it's

899
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:47.600
one of my favorite scriptures.

900
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.080
It actually was one that we covered in the wisdom challenge this year.

901
00:47:51.080 --> 00:47:52.160
And it was my Proverbs.

902
00:47:52.160 --> 00:47:53.760
It's proverb 10 22.

903
00:47:54.080 --> 00:47:57.400
And it just says that the increase of God comes without sorrow.

904
00:47:59.200 --> 00:48:01.320
God's not going to give us things that we're not ready for.

905
00:48:03.680 --> 00:48:04.120
Okay.

906
00:48:04.120 --> 00:48:05.360
He wants to increase you.

907
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.960
He wants to build, but the fields need to be tended to first.

908
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:14.000
And you guys, once again, this is a beautiful pregnant pause.

909
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:18.920
It's a beautiful grace period that God is allowing us right now, right now.

910
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:20.720
Let's take advantage of it.

911
00:48:20.720 --> 00:48:24.120
You guys, let's get the small things in order so that we can have

912
00:48:24.120 --> 00:48:25.480
authority over the larger things.

913
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:27.720
And just so you know, marriage and family is a much larger thing.

914
00:48:28.640 --> 00:48:31.640
It's going to take a lot more of you than whatever you're giving right now.

915
00:48:31.640 --> 00:48:34.400
You think that you're overextended now you just wait, baby.

916
00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:37.240
You got to make a lot of margin for this in your life.

917
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:41.280
And if that means having some empty spaces in your schedule, a lot of times

918
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:43.240
single people will overschedule themselves.

919
00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:46.640
So they don't have to be alone and they don't have to be depressed and they

920
00:48:46.640 --> 00:48:48.320
don't have to think about being single.

921
00:48:48.680 --> 00:48:50.760
So they're trying to keep themselves busy and I get that.

922
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:53.760
But if that's you and you're doing that, you're going to have to prune your

923
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:55.520
schedule and make room for relationship.

924
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:58.840
You can't just say, okay, when a relationship comes, then I'll make room for it.

925
00:48:58.840 --> 00:48:59.840
It doesn't work that way.

926
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:01.960
You're not going to.

927
00:49:04.640 --> 00:49:07.880
And friends I've told you over and over again, that you really need to prune your

928
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:08.760
media habits.

929
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:10.200
And it's, it's worse now than ever.

930
00:49:10.200 --> 00:49:14.520
You guys, the world's on fire with the Epstein files and the ice stuff and all

931
00:49:14.520 --> 00:49:17.960
the crazy stuff that's on social media and everyone fighting and all the things

932
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:18.800
that are happening.

933
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:21.760
You're going to have to do a dopamine reset because we're burnt out.

934
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.440
A lot of people think they're burnt out on dating, but you're not burnt out on

935
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:26.000
dating. You're just plain burnt out.

936
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:26.840
Period.

937
00:49:27.560 --> 00:49:28.360
You're burnt out.

938
00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:33.360
We can only take so much bad news before our cortisol starts to activate

939
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:36.800
fight or flight response starts to activate.

940
00:49:37.080 --> 00:49:39.560
You're showing up to these dates and you're not feeling chemistry.

941
00:49:40.160 --> 00:49:42.360
That's because your pleasure center is fried.

942
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:43.920
Your chemistry is fried.

943
00:49:44.640 --> 00:49:47.000
You can't feel anything because you're not just showing up to these dates

944
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:49.680
yourself. Your cortisol is also coming to these dates.

945
00:49:50.200 --> 00:49:51.960
And so you guys, we need to do a little self care.

946
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.480
We need to do a little meditation, a little prayer.

947
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.960
We need to come off of the, of the, uh, of the apps.

948
00:49:58.080 --> 00:49:59.800
If we need to need to come off of.

949
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.840
social media for a little while. If we need to, we do whatever we need to do in order

950
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:09.680
to get ourselves back centered again. That's a word for a lot of people. You get yourself

951
00:50:09.680 --> 00:50:15.600
centered again. If you haven't felt chemistry with anyone that you've talked to, it's probably

952
00:50:15.600 --> 00:50:22.520
because your chemistry is impaired. Guys, we we're, we're, we're spirits that live in

953
00:50:22.520 --> 00:50:27.000
live in bodies that possess souls. We're complex, more complex. Remember we're fearfully and

954
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:31.880
wonderfully made. That's what that means. You're, you're complex. You're not a simplistic

955
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:37.400
being. And so right now we have to, we have to push the reset button. It's important to

956
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:43.960
do that. Okay. Um, and yes, um, this is not an ad for brick, but you can get brick. It's

957
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:49.120
really cheap. It's like 50 bucks and you can set the app on your phone to tell, to tell

958
00:50:49.120 --> 00:50:54.080
it what you want to lock. And then when you tap your phone to it, it will lock those apps

959
00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:57.800
so that you can't get into them. And so before you leave the house, you can lock certain

960
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.440
apps down. So you can't look at them, your news apps, certain social media apps. If you're

961
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:05.640
a doom scroller, you can do that. And guess what? You can't unlock it until you get back

962
00:51:05.640 --> 00:51:09.240
home where the brick is. Cause you have to tap it again to unlock it. So that might be

963
00:51:09.240 --> 00:51:13.440
a good tool for some of you if necessary. You guys, when I first started this back when

964
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.200
it was called marrying 12 months or less in 2020, I had a bunch of students that were

965
00:51:17.200 --> 00:51:22.600
having weird wedding dreams and in the dreams, this is what was going on. They were about

966
00:51:22.600 --> 00:51:25.960
to walk down the aisle, but they didn't have the right dress on. They didn't have a white

967
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:31.040
dress on or they didn't have the right shoes. Gentlemen, they had forgot the rings. You

968
00:51:31.040 --> 00:51:37.680
know they had dreams where it was the, it was their wedding day, but they weren't ready.

969
00:51:37.680 --> 00:51:41.440
They couldn't find their shoes. They couldn't find their dress. They weren't, they were

970
00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:45.320
walking down the aisle. They didn't recognize the person at the end. They didn't know what

971
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.920
was going on. And this wasn't God shaming them. These were supernatural dreams. This

972
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:58.040
was an invitation to preparation. God wasn't saying, nope, you're a mess. You're not getting

973
00:51:58.040 --> 00:52:06.600
married. He was saying preparation time is my mercy. The preparation time is my mercy.

974
00:52:06.600 --> 00:52:13.000
He was saying, Hey, let's go get you ready. Let's go get you ready. A lot of people were

975
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:16.820
having dreams that, that other people were coming around them and trying to help them

976
00:52:16.820 --> 00:52:24.020
get ready. Guess what? That's God's support. That's being God defended. That's this community.

977
00:52:24.020 --> 00:52:28.700
We're all here to help each other get ready for the promises of God, not just weddings,

978
00:52:28.700 --> 00:52:34.920
but also life and the things that God has that God wants to give all of us. All right.

979
00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:38.180
So I believe we're in a grace period. We're at the beginning of the year. We're only 45

980
00:52:38.180 --> 00:52:41.860
minutes in. I only have a couple more minutes, so I got to go fast. So whatever you got to

981
00:52:41.860 --> 00:52:46.860
do friends, do it. Whatever conversations, whatever forgiveness you need to give, whatever

982
00:52:46.860 --> 00:52:50.740
hard work you need to do. If you need to put out the resumes, some people said they need

983
00:52:50.740 --> 00:52:55.460
to finish a book, do that. Um, clean the garage, fix the finances. You guys, you don't want

984
00:52:55.460 --> 00:53:00.140
to go, you don't want to go into marriage with a bunch of debt. You're like, but I Jackie,

985
00:53:00.140 --> 00:53:04.220
you know, it's, there's more, there's less coming in than I needs to go out. I understand.

986
00:53:04.220 --> 00:53:08.540
But if you get with the Lord, he can give you a plan to get out of debt. And I'm not

987
00:53:08.540 --> 00:53:14.180
talking about calling those debt cancellation companies. A lot of that's a scam. I'm talking

988
00:53:14.180 --> 00:53:19.660
about when we got out of debt, it was way before I owned this business. We got out of

989
00:53:19.660 --> 00:53:25.420
debt because God told us specific things to do. And we did those things. And then he started

990
00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:32.460
to bless that. Remember we do our part and then God does his part. And it's not a 50

991
00:53:32.460 --> 00:53:38.460
50 situation. You guys, your part might be 10% of just listing your debts and starting

992
00:53:39.380 --> 00:53:42.380
to do a little bit of a snowball, starting to buy less stuff you don't need and put a

993
00:53:42.380 --> 00:53:46.620
little tiny bit more money, even if it's a tiny bit, even if it's 10, $15 more towards

994
00:53:46.620 --> 00:53:50.620
that credit card debt. And then boom, out of nowhere, you get an opportunity to make

995
00:53:50.620 --> 00:53:55.100
a bunch of money and you're able to pay off that debt. You do your part. You show God

996
00:53:55.100 --> 00:53:58.700
you're serious. And I promise you, in fact, we're going to get some testimonies on what

997
00:53:58.700 --> 00:54:04.260
I just said. You stop just, you stop spending because you're depressed because you're in

998
00:54:04.260 --> 00:54:07.620
debt. A lot of times when people are in debt, they'll medicate themselves by getting even

999
00:54:07.620 --> 00:54:12.500
more in debt. If you stop doing that, all right, cut up the credit cards, get a payment

1000
00:54:12.500 --> 00:54:17.220
plan going, start paying whatever it is that you can, even if it's the minimum situation

1001
00:54:17.220 --> 00:54:22.020
and give it to God. I promise you some of you are going to see really amazing breakthrough

1002
00:54:22.020 --> 00:54:26.380
in that area. Okay. Cause we're in a grace period right now, you guys, because favor

1003
00:54:26.380 --> 00:54:31.620
is here. This is our year. 2026 is our year. It's your year. It's the best, the best year

1004
00:54:31.620 --> 00:54:36.940
I've ever seen for the kingdom of God to shine bright in the earth. Cause it's so dark. There's

1005
00:54:36.940 --> 00:54:40.980
so many opportunities for us, you guys, but we can't take advantage of those opportunities

1006
00:54:40.980 --> 00:54:46.180
because favor has to land on order. And so it's time for us to get things in order. A

1007
00:54:46.180 --> 00:54:50.460
lot of you have heard me tell the story back in my early discipleship. When I first, when

1008
00:54:50.460 --> 00:54:56.180
I first, I'd only been a believer for about 12 years. It was my early marriage to David.

1009
00:54:56.180 --> 00:55:00.060
God told me to pack a bag and set it by the front door. And you do that normally.

1010
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.880
when you're going to go to the hospital and have a baby. Right.

1011
00:55:02.120 --> 00:55:03.360
And I didn't know what to put in the bag.

1012
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:05.880
And I just put a little bit of everything in because I didn't know where I was

1013
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:06.160
going.

1014
00:55:06.160 --> 00:55:10.520
And that bag sat there as a prophetic act to me that I needed to make sure that I

1015
00:55:10.520 --> 00:55:13.120
stayed prepared because God had things for me to do.

1016
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:16.240
He did. He had things for me to do. And you guys,

1017
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:18.680
I've been faithful over a lot of little things.

1018
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:20.840
I know you see me here showing up like this,

1019
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:23.360
and I'm still missing out on bigger opportunities, but I promise you,

1020
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:28.120
I'm not gonna again, but these opportunities, even this, you guys,

1021
00:55:28.120 --> 00:55:30.240
it's amazing. And I can settle for just, you know,

1022
00:55:30.240 --> 00:55:32.240
sowing into your lives and helping you get married.

1023
00:55:32.240 --> 00:55:35.680
We've helped over 1600 people get married in the last five years, you guys.

1024
00:55:35.680 --> 00:55:38.800
And that's amazing, but there's bigger and there's better. But can I tell you,

1025
00:55:39.040 --> 00:55:43.360
this started out with, you know, me showing up on, on my social media.

1026
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:46.520
I've been on, I've been on Facebook for over 10 years and just,

1027
00:55:46.680 --> 00:55:49.440
and posting encouragement for people and helping people.

1028
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:53.000
And in the DMS counseling people and coaching people and having little

1029
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:54.520
gatherings at my house called wow,

1030
00:55:54.520 --> 00:55:57.680
women and ministering to women and helping people and,

1031
00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:01.520
and having a prostitution, a prostitution ring,

1032
00:56:01.680 --> 00:56:05.440
no having a ministry for prostitutes, um, to,

1033
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.160
to help them get out of prostitution.

1034
00:56:07.160 --> 00:56:09.680
And that turned into a prison ministry that turned into this,

1035
00:56:09.680 --> 00:56:11.760
that turned into that, that turned into beautiful ashes,

1036
00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:12.520
that turned into wow,

1037
00:56:12.520 --> 00:56:17.040
women that turned into a prayer call that I used to do when free conference

1038
00:56:17.040 --> 00:56:19.920
calling was came out, you could do free conference calls.

1039
00:56:20.520 --> 00:56:23.040
Because only a few people would show up to those sometimes no one,

1040
00:56:23.040 --> 00:56:25.360
and you needed at least one person listening to record.

1041
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.320
And so my husband would have to dial in and listen so that I could record it

1042
00:56:28.560 --> 00:56:30.360
because a lot of people listened in replay.

1043
00:56:30.720 --> 00:56:34.600
And that turned into me being live on Periscope when that live streaming app

1044
00:56:34.600 --> 00:56:37.640
came up, came, um, came about.

1045
00:56:37.680 --> 00:56:40.920
And that was the wake up call with Jackie. And there was years of that.

1046
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:44.080
And there was my blog, the real life unplugged with Jackie Dorman. You guys,

1047
00:56:44.080 --> 00:56:47.720
I've been doing this for a really long time, 28 years. Okay.

1048
00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:49.840
I've been faithful over little things.

1049
00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:54.960
And some of you have as well. And I'm telling you the bigger breakthroughs in

1050
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:58.280
your life and whatever area you're hoping for breakthrough, they're here.

1051
00:56:58.520 --> 00:57:01.760
They're not coming. They're here. And so tie up your loose ends,

1052
00:57:02.640 --> 00:57:05.600
whatever that is. Okay. Pack the bag,

1053
00:57:05.600 --> 00:57:09.520
sit it by the door because we got to do this faith has to go first.

1054
00:57:09.520 --> 00:57:12.600
Faith opens the door. Okay. And then courage walks through it.

1055
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:14.760
And that's what we need. All right.

1056
00:57:15.080 --> 00:57:18.520
My favorite story about this is Corrie ten boom and her dad,

1057
00:57:19.120 --> 00:57:23.320
her and her daddy at the train station. She knew he had the tickets in his pocket.

1058
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:24.720
She wanted to hold her ticket.

1059
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:27.920
And he said she didn't need her ticket until it was time to get on the train.

1060
00:57:29.200 --> 00:57:32.440
He said, you trust me. Right. And she said, yeah, I trust you. He's like, okay,

1061
00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:34.920
we'll just get prepared. Stand here, get ready for the train,

1062
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:36.920
be watching for the train. And when the train gets here,

1063
00:57:37.240 --> 00:57:39.720
then that is what I'm going to hand you your ticket. And so friends,

1064
00:57:39.720 --> 00:57:44.400
faith packs the bag. Faith makes the space faith gets prepared. Okay.

1065
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:47.520
Faith goes out and ties up the loose end, whatever that is for you.

1066
00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:49.840
Faith fills out the paperwork for retirement.

1067
00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:53.400
Some of you are not even getting the benefits that you can get from your job

1068
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:57.680
because you haven't filled out some silly paperwork. You keep putting it off,

1069
00:57:58.200 --> 00:58:01.840
but it could be so much different. If you would just do it, get it done.

1070
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:05.080
In fact, make a decision to get it done. Now,

1071
00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:08.240
hopefully some of you are going to schedule some stuff before this weekend's

1072
00:58:08.240 --> 00:58:12.440
even over before Monday even comes. All right. Okay. All right.

1073
00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:14.760
You guys ready? We're at the end of our time here.

1074
00:58:15.200 --> 00:58:18.640
You might be like me. You have 15,000 unread emails.

1075
00:58:18.640 --> 00:58:20.760
You guys delete the spam emails,

1076
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:23.840
take a day to go through your emails and unsubscribe from all those lists.

1077
00:58:23.840 --> 00:58:27.120
You guys, if you want to keep that email address, you're like, Jackie,

1078
00:58:27.120 --> 00:58:29.960
that seems like such a waste of time. No, it's,

1079
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:34.280
it creates a bandwidth problem when you know that there's 10,000 emails in there

1080
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:37.480
that you have to keep sorting through to try to get the ones that are relevant

1081
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.320
for you. Get rid of that stuff. Okay. Go through your phone.

1082
00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:44.200
Here's just some practical things. Go to your phone.

1083
00:58:44.720 --> 00:58:46.520
Go through your phone. We're going to go a little bit over today.

1084
00:58:46.520 --> 00:58:47.360
I don't care.

1085
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:52.400
Go through your phone and delete all the old contacts and your contacts that you

1086
00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:58.280
don't use anymore that you don't need anymore. Delete those.

1087
00:58:58.520 --> 00:59:00.600
Why are they there? You don't know those people anymore.

1088
00:59:00.600 --> 00:59:03.840
You're not friends with those people anymore. Why would they still be there?

1089
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:06.680
These are really practical things that you can do.

1090
00:59:07.080 --> 00:59:09.400
Delete the apps on your phone that you don't use anymore.

1091
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:13.680
Clear out this expired food from your fridge. Okay. I just have a couple,

1092
00:59:13.680 --> 00:59:14.520
I have a list here.

1093
00:59:14.640 --> 00:59:19.280
Go through your following on social media and unfollow accounts that you no

1094
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:21.680
longer want that drain you that you don't like.

1095
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.280
It's okay to delete friends that you used to have that you're not friends

1096
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:27.000
anymore. You don't need to clip up on their lives.

1097
00:59:27.200 --> 00:59:30.640
If you don't know them in person anymore and you don't want to know them in

1098
00:59:30.640 --> 00:59:35.000
person anymore, delete that. Okay. Go through your closet,

1099
00:59:35.040 --> 00:59:38.560
donate things. You guys, these are really simple things, really simple things,

1100
00:59:38.560 --> 00:59:40.720
really practical things that we can do.

1101
00:59:41.040 --> 00:59:43.000
Have a conversation that you've been avoiding.

1102
00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:46.840
I already talked about that throw away old and expired beauty products,

1103
00:59:47.120 --> 00:59:51.080
self-care products, get rid of that stuff. Medications, you know,

1104
00:59:51.080 --> 00:59:55.360
make sure you dispose of them responsibly. However that happens. Do that.

1105
00:59:56.320 --> 00:59:58.720
Write down three, three people that you need to forgive.

1106
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:00.040
Write down three things you need to forgive.

1107
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.920
forgive yourself for. Donate books that you've already read and that you're not going to read

1108
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:08.000
anymore, that you don't want your library. It's kind of a one and done book. You don't want it for

1109
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:13.520
perpetuity. Get rid of that. Write down three tasks that you've been avoiding. I'm going to

1110
01:00:13.520 --> 01:00:16.720
put these, I'm going to put these lists up. I'm going to put these lists up in the group so you

1111
01:00:16.720 --> 01:00:22.160
guys can see it. Clear out your junk drawers. You guys, come on. Find inspiring new phone

1112
01:00:22.160 --> 01:00:27.600
backgrounds, new wallpaper for your, for your phone. Every time you look at it, it inspires you

1113
01:00:27.600 --> 01:00:33.280
to do what you need to do. Reorganize the house, move the furniture around, get rid of stuff.

1114
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:38.080
Send that text that you need to send. Write down three boundaries that you need to really hold

1115
01:00:38.080 --> 01:00:42.400
yourself to, whether it's telling your boss no more overtime without pay, whatever those

1116
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:47.920
boundaries are. Come on, write them down and hold yourself to it. Write down three things that you

1117
01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:53.840
want to invest in, in yourself in the year 2026. You want to invest in your health. Okay. There's

1118
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:58.400
easy ways to do that. Friends. You can start walking every day. This is a simple thing.

1119
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:01.520
Make time for it. You're like, I don't have time for it. If you don't have time to take care of

1120
01:01:01.520 --> 01:01:07.280
your body, then you don't have time. You you're, you're cutting off your time on the earth.

1121
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:13.200
Okay. You don't not have time to take care of yourself. Um, all right, let's see what else,

1122
01:01:13.200 --> 01:01:19.440
um, to do, to do go on a mass unsubscribe spree in your email. That's really important. Um, get

1123
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:24.720
your car wash, clean out your car. Some of you will never be able to let a date ride in your car

1124
01:01:24.720 --> 01:01:29.920
because your car needs to be condemned by the health department. I'm just going to be honest

1125
01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:36.960
with you. You know who you are. Okay. There's stuff in your car that should not be there.

1126
01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:42.160
All right. Old food is nasty in there. I know lots of people with dirty, dirty, dirty cars,

1127
01:01:42.160 --> 01:01:47.680
and they don't have toddlers to blame for it. So let's get it together. All right,

1128
01:01:47.680 --> 01:01:52.160
let's get it together. I'm going to be your, I'm going to be your BFF today and kick you in the

1129
01:01:52.160 --> 01:02:00.080
butt. All right. Um, all right. What else? All right. And you guys, if you can buy yourself

1130
01:02:00.080 --> 01:02:05.440
some flowers today to symbolize a fresh start, it's Valentine's day, treat yourself. And so

1131
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:10.080
father God, we're so thankful for today. You guys, you guys were so thankful for today,

1132
01:02:10.640 --> 01:02:15.360
father. We're so thankful for you. And we ask you God, just to forgive us for everything that

1133
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:20.320
we've been avoiding, everything that we haven't done, everything that we haven't submitted to

1134
01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:24.320
all the things that you've told us to do in prayer that we just haven't done. We're

1135
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:29.680
procrastinating. Laura, we're asking for you to give us just a wave of grace of momentum to be

1136
01:02:29.680 --> 01:02:34.320
able to get this stuff done. Don't let this just be a moment. Let this be momentum from this call

1137
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:38.320
today. We haven't been not doing it out of rebellion. You know, our hearts, it's not about

1138
01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:44.160
rebellion, but it's not a distraction father out of busy-ness Lord. So help us help us. Some of

1139
01:02:44.160 --> 01:02:48.400
us even out of comfort because the familiar has been comfortable to us for, but we want new, we

1140
01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:54.240
want better. We want best. We want what you have for us. So we're asking for expansion God, but we

1141
01:02:54.240 --> 01:02:59.840
know that we need preparation. So Lord give us the grace to do it during this grace period in Jesus

1142
01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:04.880
name. Amen. You guys, I love you. I believe this is a powerful supernatural Saturday. That's going

1143
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:09.360
to change our lives if we will do it. And I want you to show up tomorrow night telling people what

1144
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:13.760
you're going to do so you can hold yourself accountable, hold, let them hold you accountable.

1145
01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:18.400
Okay. We're all helping each other get ready right now. Think about us all being in the bridal

1146
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:23.120
chamber, trying to help each other get dressed for the wedding. Okay. Not just for our human

1147
01:03:23.120 --> 01:03:27.680
weddings, but for all the things that God has designed us to do as the bride of Christ here

1148
01:03:27.680 --> 01:03:32.320
on the earth, we can do it and we can do it together. We need each other. And so do that.

1149
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:36.720
And we want lots of testimonies this week on prayer, including faith Friday of what you're

1150
01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:41.280
doing and what's happening because of what you're doing. I'm expecting some quick turnarounds

1151
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:41.840
and I'll see you soon.
