Those are the little words that we want to hear.
Recording in progress.
We want to make sure that we're recording.
Okay.
So starting next month in April, we're giving you a little bit of a runway, a couple weeks.
Everyone needs to be on camera.
Everybody needs to be on camera, unless you're exercising and doing something distracting.
Okay.
If you go out and you get on your treadmill or you walk during these calls, then please
don't be on camera because we don't, it's just distracting.
It draws, if there's any movement in the windows, it just draws everyone's attention there.
And then also, which is part of the reason why I turn my camera off, because part of
my prophetic process is that I'm walking around this entire time.
If you ever hear me out of breath on a supernatural Saturday, it's because I'm just walking around,
walking around.
Okay.
And so then also, if you're at work, obviously, if you're driving, if you're doing something
where it's not safe for you to be on camera, we understand.
Some people live in time zones where when we're live, you're just coming from work or
going to work or you're at work and that's okay.
We get it.
But the whole purpose of us wanting to see you is because that is part of the acceleration
that we believe God has asked us to help implement in this new year, 26.
Guys, we got to accelerate.
We have to accelerate.
We have to do things that we're not doing in order to get results that we're not having.
Amen.
Right?
And I know that there's lots of people that want to show up in my DMs and they want to
show up on my Instagram and they want to say, I've done everything, Jackie.
Well, you haven't.
All right.
You haven't.
And okay, let's just use this example really quickly.
And for those of you that are new to Supernatural Saturday, it's not a lecture.
Okay.
We're going to have some current prophetic reality in just two seconds, but I need to
do some housekeeping here at the beginning of this call because it's important because
I want to have success and I want you to have success.
So it's important.
Okay.
So you guys know I've been on a weight loss journey because of menopause, right?
But what happens is it's not only menopause fault.
What happens is that we have bad habits leading up to this change of life season.
And then when we get here, those bad habits really just catch up with us.
Isn't that what really happens?
Honestly, that's what really happens.
And it's not just eating and exercise bad habits, but it's boundaries, bad habits.
It's overworking and underplaying.
Did you know that overworking and underplaying is really bad for your body?
You know the old saying that all work and no play makes you a dull boy.
Well, it makes you a dull girl too, ladies.
And so I really just want to encourage you that if you have a life where it's all just
drudgery and it's all work and it's all responsibility and it's all you have to, you have to, you
have to, then that's going to take its toll on your body, on your nervous system, on your
cortisol.
And that's part of what I have done to myself.
So anyway, people are like, well, Jackie, you've lost 20 pounds.
You want to lose another 20?
Just get on a GLP.
And if you're on a GLP, please do not hear what I'm not saying.
OK, my daughter's on a GLP because she has PCOS and she is loving it and it's really
helping her. My husband has really high blood pressure and he's prediabetic and he's
insulin resistant. So he's about to be on a GLP any second now because our functional
doctor, not our MD, thinks it's a good idea for a short amount of time in order to
balance blood sugars.
That's all great for everybody.
They asked me, do you want that?
Do you want to get on a GLP?
You know what I said? I said not until I've done what I can do.
I know that I haven't done what I can do.
Do you see what I'm saying?
I know that I don't go to bed when I'm supposed to go to bed in order to get that
good, good deep sleep.
Did you know that most of the deep sleep that happens to your body because of
circadian rhythm happens before midnight?
So if you're the kind of person that goes to bed at midnight or after midnight, you're
not getting that good, good.
You're not getting it. And I am a late, a late night person.
I'm a night owl person.
Now I don't sleep till 10 o'clock the next day.
I still get up at like 730 in the morning, but I'm not getting, I'm not giving my
body that time. Okay.
So I'm not doing that.
Am I exercising every day?
Am I walking?
At least walking?
Well, of course I'm walking from here to there and from there to here and from my
desk to the couch and the couch to the desk and, you know, and the good grass grows
all around, all around and the good grass grows all around.
Um, yeah, but am I walking intentionally?
Am I exercising?
No, I'm not.
And so I will, I'm not opposed to a GLP.
Once again, please don't turn the.
section into a for or against this is not what I'm saying right now all right
don't turn it into a for or against but let me just tell you that I am NOT going
to use a band-aid of any kind I'm not going to use a supplement of any kind
I'm not going to use a quick fix of any kind if that's what it is if it's a tool
that I use when I get to the end of what I can do then that's what I will do but
I'm not to the end of what I can do in fact I haven't even begun I haven't even
begun right and so me prioritizing myself or the kinds of habits that I
want to make in 26 me prioritizing my health and my wellness those are the
kind of things that I want to do in 2026 amen all right so don't show up in my
DMS and tell me that you've done everything that you can do because that's
just not real most people have only done a couple things that they could do
and they didn't even do them for very long let's just be honest with ourselves
because I don't know about you but when I try things and they don't work I've
quit them really fast we have been programmed to want very quick results
haven't we we have does it make us bad people now oh we're not bad people we're
just Americans most of us we have been raised in this society where it's like
give it to me and give it to me now and and it just doesn't work that way it
doesn't work that way and so we have to continue to do what we can do you guys
so whatever area of your life you want to apply that to just do what you can do
just sit down and get honest with yourself okay and say what can I do I
don't like this remember our Jesus cares board if you can't control it and you
can't fix it then to slap it on your Jesus cares board because now you know
that you've done all you can do and when it comes to controlling other people
we've done all we can do we can't control other people we can't we can't
control their thoughts their actions their responses we can't so if your
biggest life-controlling problem right now is another person then you're gonna
have to just put that on your Jesus cares board and pray for them and ask
God to intervene in that situation because there's nothing you can do right
if you have some kind of physical situation where you've gone to all the
doctors you've tried all the supplements you've tried and tried and tried to
figure it out and nothing has worked then you need to slap that up on your
Jesus cares board and say hey God I feel like I've done all that I can do
but if there's something more I can do let me know but in the meantime I have
to give this to you because I can't control or fix this remember that was my
word at the beginning of the year God said Jackie I don't want you worrying
this year if you can control it or fix it do it if you can't give it to me and
so I just want to release that over all of you that might be new and maybe you
didn't hear that word you guys I do believe that 2026 is a year of
acceleration we are seeing that happening already we are seeing it in
our own lives but you know what also this is a year of it's a year of expose
because what it's gonna do is it's going to reveal let's not even use the word
exposed because a lot of people might be triggered by that word it's going to use
it's going to reveal where we have not done the preparation right did that
already happen to me this year yes it did it already happened to me I got an
amazing opportunity to go to New York City and to be on ABC at Disney at
Valentine on Valentine's Day would that have been amazing yes would that have
caused all kinds of things to happen afterwards yes am I sad about not being
able to go yeah not I'm not really I'm not having FOMO but I wasn't ready
that's the reason why I couldn't go the reason why I couldn't go is because my
life wasn't organized to the place where I could just pick up at a moment's
notice y'all this was a moment's notice and I want you to ask yourself something
if whatever it is that you really really really want whatever that is and I know
a lot of you you know you want a relationship of course but think of all
the things that you really want if it showed up tomorrow would you be able to
steward that would you be able to even receive it so in my case the answer was
no I tried you guys I booked the flights I booked the hotel I tried my best my
body said you can't do this I had an event the night before that was gonna go
like one and two o'clock in the morning and then I had the 4 a.m. flight and that
I was already worn down
because of all the bad habits that I just described to you.
And I just knew that it was a really, really bad scene.
New York Fashion Week was happening at the same time.
It was gonna be super crowded in New York,
very expensive, very crowded, very chaotic.
And my nervous system was not gonna be able to handle
all of that in a moment's notice.
But I could have had I had better habits leading up to it.
But I wanna tell you the good news.
The good news is that it has happened again.
I literally got a message yesterday saying,
can you be in Nashville tomorrow
to be a guest on a talk show?
And guess what, I'm going.
As soon as I got off here, I'm gonna go to the airport.
I'm gonna fly my little booty over there.
Because you know why?
Because I made some changes.
I made a little changes.
You're like, but Jackie, it's only been one month.
Does it have to take a long time?
You know why a lot of people are not willing to do the work?
Because they feel like,
oh, I've waited for this thing for so long already.
Do I have to wait longer by being prepared?
This preparation time is gonna take some time.
And then that means that I'm not gonna get my little hands
on what I want for an even longer period of time.
No, that's not what it means.
You have no idea.
You know, have no idea.
The Bible says that one day is a thousand years.
Is that what it says?
Does that mean that we're not even spending one day
with the Lord on this earth?
This is all the same day.
This is Groundhog's Day, y'all.
Remember that movie?
God can accelerate.
He can bend time.
He can do whatever he wants.
He can make happen for you in one day
what it took someone else 20 years to accomplish
or a whole lifetime to accomplish.
We don't know.
But I do know that obedience is really important
to the Lord.
And for those of you that that's a trigger word,
I'm sorry, you know,
because obedience just looks like trust.
To me, obedience is spelled T-R-U-S-T.
If I believe that God said I can have it,
there's a process.
And when God tells me and invites me into that process,
me then participating in that process
tells God that I trust that there is a payoff
at the end of the day, right?
At the end of the season, at the end of whatever.
Friends, here in Texas,
if you live in Arizona and some other places
where they don't have daylight savings,
we still have it.
And we are going to spring forward tonight.
I'm sorry, tonight or tomorrow night?
At midnight, one of these nights,
whether it's tonight,
I think it's tonight at like two o'clock in the morning,
which would be Sunday, two o'clock in the morning.
It becomes three o'clock in the morning.
Is that right?
Yeah, tonight, thank you.
So spring's not here yet, but it's coming.
It's March 20th, I think.
And so I really wanna encourage you guys
to really think about that spring forward.
That was in my spirit, spring forward.
You know, we're gonna time travel tonight.
But the thing that's gonna happen tonight
is that we're gonna lose an hour of sleep,
which is gonna stink if you're already a night owl
and you gotta get up early.
But we are also going to get more light.
That's the whole purpose of daylight savings time
is that you get more light.
We're gonna receive more light.
And so I really wanna encourage you guys
to think about springing forward.
We might do an activation today at the end here
about springing forward if we get to it.
But I have some notes down here
because there's something that God's been talking to me about
that I wanna talk to you about.
And it's gonna be really important.
It's gonna be important in this season of acceleration
that we're in.
And so I wanna release this over you.
I'm gonna pray first.
Father God, I'm so thankful that you've allowed me
to be part of this beautiful and amazing movement
that you've created.
Lord, I thank you for each and every one
of your sons and daughters
that are being touched by this movement.
And I ask for those that are hearing this message
that their hearts and their spirits
would be open to receive it,
that their minds would be opened to receive
and even comprehend it, Lord.
Father, because it's important, I know that it is.
And so I'm asking you, Lord, to open us
in places where maybe we've shut off
because of hurt, because of disappointment.
Open us up in these places to receive the word of the Lord.
In Jesus' name, amen.
All right, so I was, for those of you that know,
on my 50th birthday, which was a year and a half ago,
almost now, I got a sauna from my family.
So all my family, my in-laws, my kids, my husband,
they went in and they got me a sauna for my house.
And I don't get to use it very often.
And the reason why is because I have a son.
in menopause and I have hormone replacement therapy and this is more information than
you'll ever want to know, but I can't go in there because I have to wear these patches
and these patches can't get hot and so on and so forth.
So I only get to go in there like two times a week when I have to change that dumb patch.
So I very rarely get in there and when I get in there, I just like to read.
I like to read when I'm in there and I got in there the other night and I had not brought
a book with me and I was already in there.
So of course, what did I do?
I yelled for David, Hey David, get me a book.
And so he went and just got some books off the bookshelf, went in the back room in our
guest room where we have several bookshelves and just grabbed some books.
And one of the books that he grabbed for me is an old book that I have not seen forever
that is about intercessory prayer.
I am an intercessor.
When I came into the kingdom of God at 22 years old, the very first gift that I received
was the gift of prayer.
And I used to love to pray.
I said used to because I'm so busy now that I have forgotten about not just my love of
prayer and you're like, well, Jackie, you love to pray Supernatural Saturday, all the
things.
No, but it's a different type of prayer.
Intercessory prayer is a type of prayer where you just get in your prayer closet and you
just go, you just begin to pray and you just begin to enter the gates of heaven, enter
those, those beautiful gates, those places of influence in heaven and you with praise
and Thanksgiving and you're boldly before the throne and you're praying about the things
you know about.
And then all of a sudden God starts sharing his heart with you about people, about places,
about things, about countries.
Some of it you are understanding with your mind.
Other things you're just receiving in your spirit.
You're praying in your, in the spirit is a beautiful, beautiful thing to be in a place
of intercession.
But I was called to the ministry of intercession when I was a younger woman and of course I'm
still called to it, but I had forgotten that.
And so if that is you as well, I really want to encourage you to get back into your prayer
closets because that is where you find strength and that is where you find life and that is
where you get to partner with God.
You get to partner with God on what he is doing in the earth and it's very powerful.
So anyway, he brought me this intercessory prayer book.
And as soon as I got it in my hand, I was like, oh yeah, okay, this is not the book
I was expecting, but I'm going to read this.
And as soon as I opened it, I realized that we have been basically advocating our authority
here even in this movement.
Friends, there's so much going on in the visual, in the natural that you can see, but there's
so much more going on in that next realm over that we call heaven.
By the way, heaven's not up here.
It's all around here.
It's in a different realm.
It's in a different dimension, okay?
It's just right outside of your being able to, you know, fully understand it, fully receive
it, see it.
Some people can see it.
There are people that can see into that unseen realm.
They can.
They can see all the time into it.
That's interesting.
I think that's an interesting gift to have.
But you know what?
When you pray, you get to enter into that realm too.
You step from this realm, from this dimension into that dimension.
You know why?
Because you're already living in that dimension with Christ.
The Bible says you're seated with Christ in heavenly places.
I know we're always just like, oh, we're seated up there somewhere with Christ in heavenly
places.
No, you're seated in this other dimension.
You're in this dimension and you're also in this dimension with Christ in those heavenly
places.
And guess what?
Over there, what is Christ doing?
He's an advocate.
Isn't he being a high priest for all of humanity?
What is he doing?
He's advocating to the Father.
He's the defense attorney over there.
That's what he's doing by his blood, by his sacrifice on the cross.
He's standing in the gap.
And we get to stand in the gap with him when we come into intercession.
You guys, I have seen all kinds of miracles happen when people pray.
I have seen all kinds of things shift when people pray.
I've seen all kinds of disaster be diverted when people pray.
I have heard testimony after testimony after testimony.
So if you are not a praying person, even if you're not an intercessor, that doesn't matter.
Be a praying person, okay?
Because what I'm going to talk to us about just very quickly this morning is how do we
possess the gates of our enemy?
The Bible says we can possess the gates of our enemy.
What does that look like?
And in layman's terms, really what I want to talk to you about this morning, what I
think is on God's heart and what I think is so important in our
current prophetic reality is we need to stop accepting
what God gave us authority to confront.
Guys, we are in charge.
We're in charge.
We have more power than we know
to change our own circumstances.
Once again, if you can't control it,
slap it on your Jesus Cares board, okay?
Begin to pray over it.
Prayer is powerful, it changes things.
It really, really does.
But there are some things
that we should just be taking authority over.
There's some things that we should be disallowing.
And I realized when I was reading that book,
that little refresher in the sauna that night,
I realized as I was reading that,
that I was putting up with a lot of junk
that I should not be putting up with.
Anybody else?
Have you ever noticed how often we say to ourselves,
well, it is what it is.
I guess this is just not my season.
I guess God doesn't want this for me,
or maybe this is just what God wants.
Oh, I don't know what's happening.
Come on, put in the chat the thing that you say
that is basically you saying,
there's nothing I can do about this.
The defeatism language that we put out into the world.
Why?
Because we just learn how to cope with things.
That's what we do.
God gave us authority to confront things,
but we cope with them.
We adapt, we adjust, we accommodate.
We even accommodate, you guys.
We make room for things that we don't want.
We're not making rooms for things that we do want,
but we're making room for things that we don't want.
We accommodate.
Meanwhile, I believe heaven is saying,
why are you living with something
that I gave you authority over?
Right?
You guys are not just talking about physical things
or mental things.
I'm talking about all kinds of things
because you know what we often forget, myself included?
We forget that we are spirits.
We forget that we are spirits that live in bodies,
that possess souls.
You are not bodies.
You are spirits.
And I know that a lot of people
have abused the supernatural
and they've abused the spiritual.
And so often we shut down that idea that we're a spirit
because we're not spiritual.
We're not spiritual.
We shut down that idea that we're a spirit
because it's hooky or spooky
or people have made it weird or whatever.
But I'm gonna tell you at the end of the day,
you gotta know the truth.
The truth is that you're a spirit.
You're not a human flesh person.
Yeah, you have that part of you,
but the main thing that you are is a spirit.
And that means that all life is going to be spiritual
at some level because you're a spirit.
Right?
Some people are saying, I say all the time, I give up.
I give up.
Yeah, I've said that many, many times.
All right, let's talk about the gates.
Let's talk about possessing the gates.
Let's talk about the gate principle in scripture.
Genesis 22, 17.
Your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
Genesis 22, 17, talking to Abraham.
In the ancient world, you guys,
what we need to understand is that gates were everything
in the ancient world.
Can I tell you something really,
really special about me and David?
His last name is Dorman.
It's also a form of the word Tormann in German.
D-O-R-M-A-N, Dorman.
And it means keeper of the gates.
And so this word's really special to me
because when we got married,
it was brought out in our ceremony by the pastor
that me stepping into taking on this man's name
was important.
It was stepping into a new identity as a gatekeeper.
So gates are everything, guys.
In the ancient world, gates are everything.
Gates were where the decisions were made.
It's where the elders were.
It's where commerce happened.
It's where all the legal authority of that city sat.
It's where basically everything was being controlled, okay?
And which means is that if you were influential
in the gates in that area, if you controlled the gates,
you controlled the city.
God promised Abraham in this scripture, Genesis 22, 17,
that his descendants would possess the gates
of their enemies.
He was saying, you will have authority
over the places where decisions are made.
And friends, that's not just in the natural,
that's in the supernatural.
You guys with me?
I know it's kind of a teaching moment this morning,
but I think it's really important.
And I think, you guys, it doesn't have to be complicated
to implement this.
I don't want you guys to check out and feel like,
well, I'm not an intercessor.
I really don't know how to pray.
You guys, it's not about that.
It's about identity.
This is an identity message.
This is about you understanding that you are the head
and not the tail, that you are above
and that you're not beneath.
Remember, my favorite prayer for a long time
was just teach me, show me, heal me, grow me.
God doesn't need you to have
some sort of eloquent prayer life.
He needs you to be honest
and He needs you to participate
with what He has already said that is
and that you can have.
It doesn't have to be much speaking
and it doesn't have to be perfectly correct speaking
in prayer.
It just has to be an understanding and a knowledge
of what it is that you can have
and what it is that you shouldn't be settling for.
Okay?
So what are the gates for us this morning?
What are the gates?
Gates are access points.
Gates are places where something enters or leaves your life.
So here's some examples.
You guys can put any other examples up in the chat.
So examples of gates would be your mind,
your mouth, your home, your relationships,
your body, your finances,
your decisions.
Every single problem that you face in life
has a gate somewhere.
And for many of us,
some of these gates are unattended, right?
We're not attending to these gates
because I'm just gonna tell you,
I mean, I've been walking with Jesus
so it'll be 29 years this summer
that I became a Christ follower,
that I was converted.
And my conversion was a real conversion
and it stuck and it looked like something.
It looked like something.
My entire life changed.
I am not the same person that I was.
And of course I've grown and I've matured,
but I'm telling you,
I have walked forward and I have not turned back.
That's what conversion needs to look like.
For those of you that are out in the dating world,
like, hey, you know,
how do we know if they're a true Christian?
Come on.
Being a Christ follower looks like something, doesn't it?
We're not perfect.
We gotta grow,
but it looks like something
and you should be able to understand what it looks like.
It's gonna look different on everybody,
but it definitely looks like something.
But I have noticed in the last 29 years
that the zeal that Christ followers had,
and I'm not saying there's not zealous communities out there,
but for the most part, a lot of people,
especially after they've been following Christ
for any amount of time,
they kind of become passive, don't they?
Myself included, didn't I just tell you
that I'm an intercessor?
And yet it took my husband bringing me a random book
from a bookshelf to remind me of that.
Oh, hey, by the way, my prayer closet has cobwebs in it.
I ain't been in there for a long time.
God's so gracious, isn't he?
Isn't he so wonderful?
We pray and pray and not just pray,
we complain, we complain and complain,
and we're so upset and we're always like,
I give up and I'm sick of this
and it is what it is and blah, blah.
And then God's just like, oh, hey, by the way,
remember this, remember this?
And all of us have something like that.
So somewhere along the way, you guys,
somewhere along the way, we became pretty passive.
And people even use prayer in passivity.
This is what I can't stand.
And I've been coming against this on my Instagram.
You come and you're trying to talk to someone
about something that's going on
and people are like, just pray about it.
Just wait on the Lord.
Just be patient.
God will handle it.
But the Bible says in Matthew 16, 19,
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
Woo, come on.
And whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
You guys, we have authorization.
You know that I'm not a big fan of just waiting on God to fix it.
Remember, if you can control it, you should.
If you have authority, you should take it.
And guess what?
We have authority.
Does that mean things are going to turn around immediately?
No.
Does that mean that there are some things you don't know about the situation?
Yes.
Does that mean that you still need to partner with heaven?
Well, this is how you partner with heaven.
And when you put things on your prayer board, when you put things on your Jesus Cares board,
it's because you've already done what I'm saying.
You've already done this.
When it comes to doing our part, you guys, when it comes to doing what we can do, this
type of prayer, this type of authority, taking authority, I won't even call it prayer, is
what we should do.
Because we are not powerless.
We are authorized.
Because we're tolerating a lot of things that we actually should be confronting.
Okay, anxiety, chronic conflict in relationships, you guys, that's not humans, that's spirits.
Chronic conflict of any kind, there's a spiritual root to that.
You believe that?
Do you believe that there's harassing happening of some sort?
There's some kind of division happening?
There's some sort of misunderstanding happening?
You guys, this happened to me the other day.
I was at a conference out in California, and I was talking to someone, and I was just talking
to them.
I don't see them very often.
I love them.
They're wonderful.
But they just went through a big, painful thing.
They just went through a big, painful thing.
It has nothing to do with me.
They went through a big, painful thing, and this is the first time that I was seeing them
after this painful thing that they went through.
And I could sense immediately, when I saw them, that they were carrying a fence.
I could tell that they were just offended.
They weren't offended at me.
They were just offended in general.
Friends, a fence, we got to really guard against a fence when we've been hurt, because it can
really cause a lot of blind spots.
So I was just having a regular conversation with them, and the thing that had happened
to them that caused them to be offended came up.
It came up in this conversation.
And I'm very knowledgeable about what had happened, very knowledgeable about it.
And so I said, I kind of weighed in a little bit on what I thought about the situation.
And they immediately clapped back, immediately, which is fine.
They're hurting.
I understand.
But what God showed me in that moment, you guys, was that what I was saying is not what
they were hearing.
And this happens so often, you guys, when people are offended or when people have been
hurt, not even by you, because what happens is those blind spots and filters, they twist
what is being said, because you say it, and it has to go through those filters to come
into their understanding.
And so this is why we have to pray.
When we have continual conflicts with someone, it's possible that they're not hearing what
you're saying.
They're not receiving what you're saying.
And so you know what I did?
After some time of prayer, when I saw them again, I said, hey, can I talk to you?
And they said, yeah, sure, because they weren't mad at me.
They weren't clapping back because they were mad at me.
They're clapping back because they already have an offended heart.
And I said, I just wanted to clarify what I said earlier.
This is what I meant.
You know, what do you think about that?
One really good way to find out whether or not someone is hearing exactly what you're
saying is that after you share something with someone, especially someone who's hurting,
someone who's going through a lot, someone who, you know, maybe you have some kind of
personality conflict with, or you've had some strife with, after you say what you say, say,
what do you think about that?
This is better than saying, now tell me exactly what you think I just said.
You don't want to do that.
But you can say, you know, what do you think about that?
You know, what do you, what do you think about that idea?
And then they're going to repeat back to you in some way, kind of what they think it is
that you said, right?
And you guys, that's so important because so often we see these as our problems, but
they're not really our problems.
It's spiritual warfare.
Okay.
So we can, so we tolerate all this chronic conflict.
There's generational patterns that are still living out through your life that you're tolerating.
Jesus died on the cross to set you free from that bloodline, y'all.
You don't have to tolerate that stuff, whatever it is, you don't have to tolerate it.
I can't tell you how many people have said to me, well, you know, diabetes runs in my
family.
Well, you know what else runs in your family?
Eatin', sugar.
That's what runs in your family.
So it's like, hello, you guys, come on.
I don't want to hear about the bad stuff that runs in your family.
You are part of the lineage of Christ.
You are.
Come on.
We don't have to live this way anymore.
We don't have to tolerate that.
Stagnation.
This could be another thing, you guys.
Anytime you feel stuck somewhere, there's usually some sort of spiritual thing happening.
If you feel stuck, people are like, oh, well, you know, I've tried and tried and tried.
I've tried and every door slams in my face.
That's a spiritual thing.
I know that we like to, we like to make it sound better by saying God's protecting me.
Is he protecting you from every single thing you try to do?
No y'all, you better be binded and loosen some stuff.
I just want to remind all of us that we have a very short amount of time on earth.
You don't have unlimited time.
Yes, you are eternal, but you are not going to be spending the majority of that here right
now.
This life is a drop in the bucket of eternity.
And so why anyone would think that God is waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting,
waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting to allow you to do the things that are in your heart
to do because you're just not ready yet.
What do you think gets you ready?
Do you think that you learn by not doing?
You learn by doing.
What would it look like if I told my daughter when she wanted to ride a bike, like all the
other kids that are riding their bikes at five or six years old, if I said, you're just
not ready yet.
I got you a bike.
It's in the garage, but you're just not ready yet.
How about now?
No, you're just not ready yet.
No, that's not what you do.
You put the kid on the bike and you hold on to the back of the seat until they got the
hang of it.
Sometimes it takes a day, two days.
Most kids are riding that bike by themselves within a week.
That's what Papa God does to us.
He matures us by experience.
Skinning out is part of the process.
Skinning your knees a couple times is part of the process.
The problem is, is that when we skin our knees, then we think, oh my God, I was not supposed
to be here.
I wasn't supposed to be on this bike.
Yes, you were.
You got to get back on and try again.
You guys got already signed the permission slip.
He signed it at Calvary.
It's signed.
And I have come that you might have life and that you might have it to overflow.
That's what Jesus said.
We got to go forward, friends.
We got to fail forward fast.
You're going to fail, and that's how you're going to learn, and it's going to be okay.
This is not just how life is.
I promise you.
All right, so let's talk about our authority to allow or disallow.
This is important.
This is what I want to talk about just for a minute.
Matthew 18, 18.
Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will
be loosed in heaven.
Another way to say this is that you have authority to disallow some things or to allow them.
Some things in our life should be told, you can't stay here.
You can't stay here, because spiritual warfare, you guys, is part of everyday life.
It's not weird.
It's just the authority that God's given you, because you are a spirit.
You are a spirit, and you are walking around, whether you know it or not, surrounded by
spiritual situations.
You might not be able to see that other dimension, but trust me, it can see you, and this is
not a demon hunt that I'm talking about.
That other dimension has all kinds of things that are happening in it, but Jesus is a righteous
king, and he is the king of that dimension.
And there's lots of, you know, a lot of people don't even know how to activate angelic undergirding
in their lives.
The Bible says that we have angels that go with us.
The Bible says that they keep us from even stepping our foot on a stone, but a lot of
people, you know, they're afraid of worshiping angels.
angels, so they don't even want to think about that.
That's not about worshiping angels, but it's about understanding that angels are on assignment
in your life, causing things to happen when you are in agreement with the Lord and when
you are in agreement with God's Word.
If you want angels to be activated in your life, come into agreement with what God said
about you.
Come into agreement with what God says in His Word.
We don't command the angels, God does.
We're not the Lord of the angel armies, He is.
He is.
And when we come into agreement with what He's saying, even in intercessory prayer,
He's the one that dispatches that angelic undergirding.
Remember when Daniel prayed and angels were dispatched?
Remember that in the book of Daniel?
What happened?
There was some spiritual warfare that was happening.
Some spiritual warfare happened as a result of Daniel's prayers.
There were some important things that needed to manifest, and Daniel was the touchpoint
that caused that to start by his prayers.
Guys, our prayers are powerful, all right?
So the weapons of our warfare, 2 Corinthians 10 verse 4 says, the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but they are mighty.
Through what?
Through God.
To the pulling down of strongholds.
But many of us, including myself, are not using those weapons the way that we can and
the way that we should.
Thank you.
That was easy, right?
There you go, guys.
Muted it.
We don't use them, you friends.
We don't use them.
You know, we're like soldiers that have all these weapons and the enemy's just right there
taking territory, and we're like, oh, I guess the enemy just lives here now.
I guess the enemy just lives here now, right?
We don't push back.
You guys, push back.
If something's happening in your life right now that you don't like, that you don't want,
push back.
Don't just accept it, oh, it is what it is, oh, I guess that I'm just going to have to
try to find a way to survive this.
No, push back.
It's as easy as saying, oh, you know what, God?
I know that this is not what Jesus died to give me in this life.
I do not accept this situation.
I do not accept it.
I'm asking you to show me anything that I need to do to shut this gate, but in the meantime,
I come into agreement with what you have said I can have, and then you just begin to come
into agreement with the Word of God.
You guys, that's intercession.
That's prayer.
Just having a conversation with God and reminding Him and yourself that this is not what you
signed up for when you received Christ as your Savior.
Yeah, there's going to be warfare.
There's going to be trouble.
Jesus told us there would be, but He also said that He has overcome the world.
He also says that the righteous are delivered out of all adversity, and we have to remember
those things, you guys.
All right, let's keep going forward because we only have a few minutes left.
All right, so here's some areas where we definitely need to possess these gates in our mind, in
our mind, you guys, where there's anxiety, lies, fear that's constantly going in a loop.
Those are intruders.
You guys, I used to have a lot of trouble with my mind.
I know those of you that have been here for any length of time know that in my 20s, I
was practically an invalid because of my mental health.
Mental health affects physical health.
There were months at a time when I couldn't get out of bed, and it was hard to believe
that that was me and that was my life, you guys, but it was.
There were seasons of time where I could not go past a five-mile-square radius from
my house.
I had panic attacks.
I had panic disorder.
I had severe chronic anxiety.
I had adrenal exhaustion and failure.
I had Epstein-Barr syndrome.
I had everything you can think of, depression, all of it, okay?
And God showed me one day, He was like, Jackie, He said, and I had my daughter Reagan at the
time.
She was a little girl.
She was maybe two or three years old.
And this is what God said to me, and I'm going to say it to you.
He said, Jackie, if an intruder, if someone came to the door right now, and they kind
of busted in the door, He's like, what would you do?
Would you just sit here idly, or would you protect the gate?
And y'all know, ain't no bear like a mama bear, all right?
And so if I wasn't willing to protect myself, but I was willing to protect my daughter.
daughter from a human intruder coming in the gate.
He said, Jackie, he said, this is exactly the same way.
So because I was like, man, I take him down, you know, I just turned into Jackie Chan as
soon as God said that.
I was kicking that intruder in my mind, you know, I was kicking him right where it matters.
I was throat punching him, you know, I was, I was doing it.
And then God said to me, he said, okay, he said, so you physically protect your child
in the natural.
He said, but this is the same way that you should be treating these thoughts that are
coming in your mind.
You guys, my, my mind was on a loop, like an obsessive compulsive disorder loop.
That was another thing that they tried to say that I had, and I was like, I don't receive
that.
Okay.
And so I, he, he, he showed me the visual in my mind.
He said, when these thoughts come, you need to grab them by the collar and say to them,
where'd you come from?
And then he showed me the origin of thoughts.
The origin of thoughts, they either come from the kingdom of righteousness, they come
from the kingdom of darkness, or they come from your human experience.
There's only three origins of thoughts.
And so he taught me how to discern where my thoughts were coming from, how to hold my
thoughts accountable, how to grab those thoughts and take them captive and to find out where
they originated from.
And if they originated from somewhere that isn't good for my life, that I could kick
them out.
I can't erase them, but I can replace them.
And you guys, that was a life-changing situation for me.
Was it easy to become diligent over that gate of my mind?
No, it wasn't easy because I had allowed myself for years and years to just think whatever
thought came in my head and to run with it.
Just whatever came in my head, y'all.
My thoughts, my thoughts had control over me instead of me having control over my thoughts.
Was this resonating with anybody?
Did it change overnight?
No.
So if you're a person that's constantly feeling sorry for yourself, you have a victim thought
pattern, poor little old me, poor me, everybody else gets what they want, not me, not me.
You got to grab that thing.
That thing is destroying your life.
You're like, but Jackie, it's true.
No, it's become true because you've come into agreement with it.
Please, you guys, I know what I'm talking about.
I lived this.
I lost decades of my life to not being diligent about the gate of my mind.
Every once in a while, you guys, that stuff tries to come back and you know what?
I got a century at the door.
There's a century at the door.
Nothing can come in because over the years, I built up to a place where there's a century
at the door.
Do you see that?
It didn't happen overnight, you guys.
You have to be diligent with it.
All right.
So your mind, anxiety, lies, fear, those intruders, you have the authority to say that this is
not going to govern my mind.
I'm not going to think just every thought that falls into my head.
I'm going to think the thoughts that align with God and his plans for my life.
And I'm going to keep being diligent over that gate until that gate has a century.
And for those of you that don't know what a century is, it's a big guard that you're
not getting past.
Okay.
The next gate I want to look at, your household.
Even if you don't have children, friends, your household should not be ruled by chaos.
If you have chaos in your household, then you have to make peace your guard.
You have to say enough is enough.
You're going to have to put down the boundaries.
You cannot heal in a place that's making you sick.
Your future.
Here's another one.
Some of you have accepted, please hear me, I love you, but you have accepted delays.
You have accepted delays as your destiny.
Your whole life has been one big stinking delay.
Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait in every area, not just your love
life.
Hold on a sec.
I just realized that my camera's a little foggy.
All right.
You guys, that's not the Lord.
You have a limited timeline on earth that is not God.
There are, there are divine delays, but if you have a lifestyle of delay where nothing,
you're almost, almost.
almost happens, not quite, not quite, ugh, that was a close one but didn't quite get
there.
No, friends, you got to press forward.
If delay has been a huge, huge part of your life and that's now a demonic delay and we're
not going to continue to do that, we're going to take authority over that.
No more delays, no more denial, forward movement.
Here's another gate, your relationships, not just your romantic ones, all of them, friends,
you have been created for relationship, that is why you're here.
Remember, Jesus brought the ministry of re, R-E, that includes relationship.
We have to stop allowing relationships in our life that are not pushing us forward in
the right direction that God has us to go.
So this includes all the draining relationships, all the unboundaried relationships, all the
toxic taker relationships, friends, you can close that gate.
You can and you need to because it is keeping you from what it is that God has for you.
I know that you just think you're loyal but that's really not what's happening, you're
afraid, okay?
You might be a loyal person but that's a gift that has become overextended now and
now it's a weakness and so we have to do something about that.
All right, so here are the reasons why we don't exercise our authority every day.
I have this written down here.
We don't know we have it, we forget, like me in the sauna, I'm like, oh, I remember
now I have authority, shoot, forgot about that, right?
We don't know we have it or we forget we have it.
We fear being too weird, too spiritual, too aggressive, you know, these are some of the
things.
We confuse surrender to God with passivity, that's a big one, you guys.
You know what surrender to God looks like?
Hey, God, you're God and I'm not and I have a part to play and this is the part that I
think I'm playing and I'm going to play this part until you tell me different.
If you're just sitting around, you guys, waiting, waiting, waiting, thinking that God's
running the most terrible DMV ever, you picked a number and now you're just waiting because
you think you're surrendering, that is really not what's happening.
What's happening is that you've become passive because you don't understand your inheritance.
You don't understand that you're a child of God.
You don't understand what that means.
You don't understand and so it's an identity issue and I get it.
We all have them still.
I'm still laboring under some identity issues.
We all do.
That's why we are being transformed by the renewing of our minds is what the Bible says.
But friends, you have more power than you think.
You have more authority than you think.
Surrender is not just sitting around passively.
Remember, faith without action is dead religion.
That's what the scripture is really saying.
Faith without works is dead.
It's saying faith without action is dead religion, which means if you believe something,
then it should look like something.
You should be doing some correlating action to your belief system.
Otherwise, you're just sitting around in that dead religion DMV.
And friends, God is so gracious.
His grace abounds.
I would much rather, in my relationship with God, say I'm sorry because I may be overstepped
because he's always so full of grace for me, then wait for permission because I already
have permission.
Much rather.
Get much further that way.
People are like, Jackie, how do you accomplish all the things you have in life?
I don't wait around for permission.
That's how I accomplish it because God already said I could.
And if I overstep, he'll let me know.
He'll forge me as I forge ahead.
That was the word God gave me years ago.
All right.
Remember, Jesus never modeled any kind of passive living.
He rebuked storms.
He cast out spirits.
He confronted injustice.
He spoke to fig trees.
He did all kinds of stuff.
All right.
He demonstrated authority.
And who was he demonstrating that for?
Us.
He was living a human life to show us how to live as humans, right?
Spirits that live in bodies that possess souls.
He was showing us how to do that.
All right.
Let's just do a quick activation, you guys, as we end here.
Come on.
Close your eyes if you can.
I want you to ask Holy Spirit to show you a gate in your life that has been left unattended.
Come on.
Close them up.
Get into a moment, a pause, a heavenly pause.
I hope this is helping someone today.
You guys can ask.
Activate this tomorrow night with candy.
It could be fear, it could be hopelessness,
a relationship, your home, your job.
Could be anything, you guys.
And I want you to say this out loud.
Today, I am no longer going to tolerate
what God has given me authority to control,
to confront, to overcome.
Now, don't unmute yourself, but just go ahead,
if you want to, repeat after me.
This is gonna be our declaration today.
I take authority over the gates in my life.
Fear is not allowed to live here.
Hopelessness is not, hopelessness is not allowed here.
Chaos is not allowed here.
Every gate that has been left open
and every gate that has been left unattended and open,
I close now.
Every gate that heaven wants open, I open now.
Peace is welcome here.
Clarity is welcome here.
Breakthrough is welcome here.
You guys, we're not gonna,
we're no longer gonna negotiate anymore
with what God has given us authority to evict.
We're not gonna negotiate with it anymore.
I remember years ago, God said to me,
he said, Jackie, he said,
your heart has become a sanctuary
for the wrong things.
It's become a rehab for rejection.
It's become a sanctuary to torture.
It's become a sanctuary for rejection.
It's become a sanctuary to strife.
It's become a fort for fear.
He just went on and on and on, y'all.
Because I was up at an altar asking God
to deliver me of something.
I was up there like, God, please deliver me.
Please deliver me of this.
Whatever it was, I don't even remember now what it was.
And God said, oh yeah, I'd love to do that for you.
I'd love to do that.
He said, but you've given this authority to be here.
I'm like, oh, well, that's a horse of a different color.
He's like, you're protecting this stuff in your heart.
You're giving it sanctuary.
Because you guys, I was really not far along
in my heart work yet
when I was having this conversation with the Lord.
And I didn't realize that I was allowing so much
of that stuff in my heart to be there.
So I want you to take a really good, honest look.
Instead of feeling like a victim all the time,
you're not a victim, you're a victor.
Instead of feeling like this whole life
is out of your control and you're just a pawn
on this chessboard.
No, you guys, it's not true.
We are children of God.
There's so much right now that's waiting for us
that is just our inheritance, not in heaven someday,
right now, here and now.
Here and now, I want to do one more activation as we end.
Close your eyes.
You guys know what Will Call is?
Will Call is the place that in a venue
where you're gonna go and you're gonna pick up
tickets, access, a wristband,
something that's going to allow you to go into the event.
It's already, it's been left there for you.
You've either already purchased it
or someone purchased it for you
or you're a guest at the event.
And it's waiting there at Will Call
for you to come and pick it up.
Once again, what are you picking up?
You're picking up access.
You're picking up the authority to enter.
I want you to picture the Will Call of heaven right now,
what Jesus died to give us.
There's some things waiting there for you, friends.
It's gonna be different for all of you,
but I want you to ask Holy Spirit,
what's waiting for me at the Will Call of heaven?
What authority, what access,
what revelation, what gift
that Jesus died to give me specifically, me, me, me, me.
What's waiting there at Will Call
that I need to grab today because it belongs to me?
My name's on it.
Whatever it is that you pick up,
I want you to keep it in your mind.
I want you to operate in it.
Everywhere you go, I want you to remember
that you have that ticket in your hand, whatever it is.
When I just prayed that prayer, God said,
you have favor, Jackie, you have favor.
So act like it.
When you go places, act like it.
Act like you have favor.
A lot of people would think that that's arrogant,
you know, that that looks like arrogance.
Like, oh, I have favor.
I'm gonna walk up and I'm gonna sit my butt
in the front row because I have favor.
That is not what favor means.
I know what favor means and God's saying don't forget you have it.
You got that ticket in your hand.
You have it.
What do you guys have?
Put it in the chat.
Come on.
Let's see it.
Come on.
Let's go.
We're ending.
We're one minute over.
We pray for Stacey's audition right now, Lord.
Open doors, God.
Let her have favor and access.
We thank you, Lord.
Come on, guys.
Go, go, go, go, go.
For those of you that are putting favor, I want you to ask God favor for what?
What does favor look like for you?
I want you to pray into this.
Please don't let this just be a moment.
This is supposed to be for momentum.
You guys, there are so many things that we're constantly praying about that we already have
access to.
We're constantly asking God for, and he's just kind of looking at us a little.
He's kind of just looking at us because he's like, you already have this.
Why are you asking for it?
It's kind of like the elder brother in the prodigal story.
He's all upset because he sees this other person just getting all kinds of favor and
all kinds of abundance, and he's mad about it.
His father is like, what are you mad about?
We've had access to this the whole time.
Friends, let's not get to heaven someday and realize that we had ... Okay, hold on.
Let's not get to heaven someday and find out that we had all of this access that we did
not take.
Come on, y'all.
Let's not do it.
Father God, we thank you for today.
We thank you for the revelation that you're giving us.
Help us to receive it, Lord.
We've got to receive it, and that means putting it into action.
Faith without action is dead religion.
Help us put it into action so that we can have testimonies even by next Saturday.
Let it be so.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
