All right, let's get started.
I am so excited about today because the main theme of today, now take this in, is that
you have not been forgotten, okay, that God has not forgotten you and that you haven't
missed God.
You haven't missed him.
It's really important that we understand that.
I think a lot of us internalize these types of ideas.
Oh, God's forgotten me.
First of all, it's not possible for God to forget you.
For those of you that are new to Supernatural Saturday, welcome.
This is the session where we look to the Lord.
What is the current prophetic reality of heaven and applying it to our lives?
The reason why it's not possible for God to forget you is first of all, he's omnipotent.
He's omniscient, which means that you live inside of him.
You don't live outside of God.
I want to just break down some truth over you this morning.
You do not live outside of God.
God is not a separate thing from you.
You live in him and he lives in you.
Take that in for a second.
You live inside of him.
Why?
Because all things exist and consist inside of him.
That's what the Bible says.
He takes up all space, all space, friends.
So you exist inside of him and he exists inside of you.
How does he exist inside of you?
In the form of when you welcome Jesus in your heart and you are filled with the Holy
Spirit.
Do you guys got it?
So you exist inside God and God exists inside of you.
And so that's why he could never forget about you.
Because you know, the Bible says that he has written you on the palms of his hands.
Let's think about it for a second.
Who in the Godhead, Father, Son, Holy Spirit had something done to the palms of their hands?
Want to think about that for a second?
Who was that?
I didn't know this was going to turn into a Sunday school lesson.
Okay.
Who was that?
That was Jesus, right?
Was Jesus nailed to a cross?
Yes, he was.
And how was he nailed to the cross?
Through his hands and his feet.
When he appeared to the disciples after the resurrection and Thomas was doubting that
it was truly him, what did he say to him?
He said, come in and put your fingers in the holes in my hands.
Didn't he say that?
And we are all doubters.
We're all Thomas, y'all.
We're all Thomas.
You know, is that you?
Is that really you, Lord?
Are you asking me to do this?
Are you asking me to move to Austin, Texas?
Lord, this is me eight years ago.
God, is that really you?
Jesus, is that really you?
He has written us on the palms of his hands, meaning that when he was nailed to that cross,
he was nailed to that cross for you and as you, as you, dying for you, but also dying
as you so that you could live in freedom from the curse.
So that you can live the way that you were meant to live from the original plan that
God had for humanity.
So it's not possible.
He's taken the wounds in his body, remind us, remind him, remind us of what he's done
for us, but remind him of us, okay?
Each and every one of us.
And I know that you, you know, as a human being, you can't possibly remember each and
every person on earth.
You can't even remember who you met yesterday, but that's not God.
We can't personify God.
And this is where we go wrong so often is we, we make God a person, a human person.
We personify him.
And then we put all the weaknesses and all the frailties of humanity upon him.
He did take on the weakness and frailty of humanity in the form of Jesus Christ, but
he still was without sin.
And then he died and was resurrected and glorified.
And now he sits at the right hand of the father.
And so we have to understand that we're not dealing with regular humans here.
And of course, God is a spirit and not a human.
And so just starting off with that this morning, because it's important that you understand
that God has not forgotten you and you also haven't missed him.
You have not missed him.
So today we're going to talk about connecting dots.
And so if you don't have any paper to write on, go ahead and grab something.
For those of you that are just jumping on now, I announced that earlier, but I'm going
to announce it again.
Now a lot of us have been frustrated in these past seasons.
There's definitely a lot of things in our lives that don't make sense, a lot of things
that feel random, disconnected pieces.
And I've had a lot of those in my life, a bunch of moments that don't seem to fit together
and a bunch of places where I was like, God, did I miss you?
Did I make a wrong decision?
on turn here, but it's important for us to understand that we don't always see the pattern.
In fact, oftentimes we don't see the pattern until God starts connecting the dots.
So I was gone this week, this last week, spur of the moment, remember friends, and I want
you guys to see the prophetic fruition of this right here.
Remember how I told you guys I wasn't ready and I missed those two amazing opportunities
to go and do media in New York and in Nashville.
Remember I told you guys that, but what did I say right after that?
I said, that's okay because there's more coming.
Didn't I say that?
And why is that?
Because I know I can sense deep in my spirit that I'm in a season of activation in this
prophetic word over my life about TV.
I can sense that it's been activated and God spoke to me and told me, you know, just
get ready, get ready because there's more where that's coming from.
Now, you know, I didn't get ready after the first time I missed New York and then I missed
Nashville, but I promise you I was ready the next time.
And guess what?
The call came.
I had less than 48 hours notice to get my booty out to Hollywood, California to be on
Access Hollywood.
I don't know if any of you see that show, but you guys, that is by far the biggest opportunity.
Not only did I miss the two smaller, but great opportunities.
They were great opportunities, but they were definitely smaller than this opportunity.
But when the third one came, guess what?
I was ready for it and I was able to get up to bat and literally hit that ball right out
of the park.
All right.
Not only was I fabulous on that show, I'm just going to Royal brag on myself this morning
under the power of the Holy Spirit, but they asked me to come back.
So that doesn't normally happen on TV shows, but they said, that was fabulous.
We would love to have you back.
And I'm like, let's go.
So I just want to let you guys know that we are in a season of fruition of promises and
they're kind of coming suddenly, right?
They're coming suddenly.
But what you guys don't know is that I got a word and I'm going to, I'm going to mention
it today as we're doing the activations.
For those of you that don't know, some of you know the story.
I got a word about being on TV over 15 years ago when I had nothing to do with TV, nothing.
I mean, like I wasn't involved in any kind of TV at all.
And I got that word and the prophetic marker of that word, get this, you guys really important.
The prophetic marker of that word was a peacock and it continued to get confirmed through
this symbol of a peacock.
Guess what?
Access Hollywood is on the Peacock Network, NBC.
It actually streams on the Peacock, which is NBC streaming service.
And so come on, let's go.
You will not get ready for what you do not believe is going to happen.
You guys know my favorite quote.
It's been attributed to Nelson Mandela.
I don't know if he's the first one who ever said it, but you will not prepare for what
you do.
You will not prepare for what you secretly believe is not going to happen.
Not outwardly believe.
A lot of people say they outwardly believe things, but they secretly believe that it's
not going to happen.
In their innermost being, they believe it's not going to happen.
And if that is where you don't believe it's going to happen, you can say all day long
that you believe, but if you don't believe, then you're not going to prepare.
And you're like, well, Jackie, how do I know which camp I'm in?
Are you preparing?
Because if you're preparing, then you believe.
The proof of belief is action, is it not?
It is.
So we've been very frustrated, you guys, including myself.
The problem with us is that we always want to understand our life going forward.
We want to see the future.
We want to understand our life going forward, but oftentimes you can only understand your
life looking backward.
Isn't that true?
That's why they say hindsight is 20-20.
You don't really know what God is doing.
It doesn't make sense in the moment.
You can't really see the next step.
You have to have faith for that.
But then you look backwards from where you've come from and you're like, oh yeah, that makes
sense now.
And we don't like that.
And I get it.
So I'm going to tell a few stories because I want you to understand the connecting of
the dots.
And we're going to do some activations over your dots today.
So Father God,
I pray that you speak to me and speak through me.
I'm praying for all my brothers and sisters
that they would have hearts to receive
what you're saying to them today
and actually to activate it.
We can't just be hearers of your word,
we have to be doers of your word.
And so Lord, I'm praying that you would give us
the faith necessary to activate what we hear today,
to take action on it so that we can get into alignment
with all the amazing and wonderful things
that you're doing in our lives,
even if we haven't been able to see it up until now.
In Jesus name, amen.
All right.
Now, for the sake of time,
I'm just gonna cliff note these stories.
I have like four stories that I'm gonna tell over you
and after each story, we're gonna do an activation, okay?
These are my dots.
And some of you have heard snippets
of some of these stories before,
but these are the four stories that I wanted to use
because I feel like they show dots the best in my life, okay?
All right, years ago, I got a prophetic word.
It was 16 years ago.
I was standing in a church lobby.
You guys, I was with my husband.
He was on a ministry trip.
We were down in Lexington, Kentucky.
We lived in Columbus, Ohio at the time.
And he was back in the office with the pastors.
And I was just standing in this church lobby
that I had never been to before by myself.
No one else was there.
Everyone else had already left.
The church was empty, service was over.
My husband was back in the office
and I was just standing there by myself, okay?
And then out of nowhere, a woman comes.
This blonde woman, about five, six,
never seen her before, didn't see her during the service,
kind of a bigger church, walks up to me
and just says, you're going to be on TV one day.
No introduction, no, hey, hi, how are you?
Nothing, just that.
And then she proceeds to invite me to come with her
to a dinner the very next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.
Now remember, we're not in Nashville.
We're in Lexington, Kentucky, and I don't live there.
And I don't know if she lives there
because we didn't even have a conversation
about anything else.
Comes up, doesn't introduce herself.
You're going to be on TV someday.
Invites me to a dinner in Nashville.
David comes and then she gives me her information
and then she goes on her merry way.
David comes out of the office.
We start driving home from Lexington to Columbus.
And I'm like, the weirdest thing happened
when you were back in the office.
And I told him about it.
And we were just kind of talking about it.
And it was just, I was like, oh, of course,
I'm not going to go.
This is so weird.
What a weird thing to have happen.
And then I remembered somebody in my life in Ohio
talking about some type of media dinner in Nashville.
And I was like, I wonder if this is the same thing
that Melanie was talking about.
So I call my friend on the phone,
on the way home from this event.
And I say, hey, I said,
are you going to a media dinner in Nashville?
Like, is it called this?
Is this what you're going to?
And she's like, yeah.
She's like, I'm actually a presenter at this media dinner
because she had this big ministry to trafficked women.
And she was going to be like speaking at this dinner.
And I was like, oh my God.
I was like, I just got invited to this by some random woman
that I just met.
And she said, well, girl, you should come.
She said, you should come with me
because we can ride together.
And actually my friend that was supposed to go canceled.
And now I have, you know, an empty hotel room
that's non-refundable that you can just have
if you want to come.
All right.
So you guys, when stuff like this happens,
we immediate early are like, wow, that's God, right?
And we've all had these things where, you know,
it's undeniably supernatural.
And so we're like, whoa, this is going to be big.
This is going to be huge.
So you guys, I go from not thinking about television at all,
at all, like literally at all,
didn't even have a TV in my living room,
did not care about TV at all in my entire life,
to, oh my God, I'm going to be on TV.
God just confirmed this.
He confirmed this and now I'm going to this media dinner.
And so what am I doing?
I'm putting all the expectations on this media dinner, right?
Because someone had a free ticket,
someone canceled and then there's a free hotel room now.
And so I walk in thinking, this is it, man.
I'm about to just go on TV like tomorrow.
I'm going to go to this media dinner
and I'm going to go straight on a TV, am I?
I'm going to, this is God.
So I'm expecting to like meet a producer at this dinner,
meet a network executive at this dinner.
I don't know.
I don't know anything about TV.
You guys understand that, right?
This story, I just know that something amazing
is about to happen.
Well, you guys, I go to this media dinner
and I don't meet anybody like that, nobody.
But you know who I do meet and you know who I do click with
and you know who I start a relationship with?
after that night, the caterer, that's right, the girl that's setting up the tables and
serving the food and decorating, the event manager, the caterer, yes, we hit it off.
We started talking.
We liked each other a lot.
In fact, I ended up helping her daughter get married.
Her daughter is one of my success stories.
So we become friends, you guys.
We talk on the phone.
We pray over each other.
We stay in touch.
But I'm thinking, you know, yeah, I met Amy.
That's great.
Now we're good friends.
But that had nothing to do with that word.
Nothing.
Anybody else ever live this?
Nothing.
Okay, so fast forward the tapes.
Six years later, you guys, six years later, my friend Amy that I met at that dinner that
night posts some weird posts on Facebook.
And so I call her and I'm just like, what's this post about?
And she's like, Jackie, I do not know what God is doing.
But he had me join this group for new agers.
And remember, we're both like spirit filled Christians and all the things.
And she's like, he had me join this media group for these for new agers.
She's like, it's the weirdest group.
She's like, you're not allowed to talk about God in it.
It's all about law of attraction and transcendentalism and all this stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah.
And she's like, you should join it too.
And I'm like, I'm not joining that group.
And she's like, you should, you should join it.
She's like, you would really she's like, you would really be a hit in that group.
And I was like, thanks, thanks, but no thanks.
So I go about my life and God speaks to me and he's like, I want you to join that group.
And I'm like, okay, so there's like 30 40,000 50,000 people in this group.
And it's a video group where people just like drop in little encouraging videos.
This is back in the day, you guys, it's a long time ago.
This is like 2015.
So I joined this group and I start making videos, you guys, and this is where I learned
the skill to talk about God without talking about God.
I used to have a show on Periscope called the wake up call with Jackie.
And that is where I learned the skill to have that show where I talk about the things of
God without talking about God.
I talk about the content of scripture without saying it's from scripture, without giving
chapter and verse to it.
And I got really, really good at it in this group.
And I got this huge following of people that were new agers that used to come and watch
my show on Periscope.
And guess what?
All of those people were my very first heartwork students back in 2015.
And all of them ended up coming to Jesus.
Every one of them.
You're like, well, how did that happen, Jackie, because you weren't talking about Jesus.
Uh-huh.
I was, but I just wasn't saying Jesus.
Just so you know, the word, the truth is powerful.
You don't have to defend it by slapping a Mark 16 two on it.
And so Jesus started appearing to these people in their dreams.
That's what started happening.
They started having visions of Jesus.
They started having dreams about Jesus.
And then they started asking me about Jesus.
And then I started proselytizing them, discipling them.
And that's what happened.
Every one of them came to Jesus.
People that had witch in their bio, sorceress, psychic, those are the type of people that
were in my heart workshop the very first round.
And so that happened.
But you guys, that wasn't all that happened.
A few years later, we moved to Austin.
I'll tell you a different story about that.
But a few years later, we moved to Austin, we moved to Austin in 2018.
So three years later, we moved to Austin.
And the people that own this group that started this group that I'm talking about, they are
huge influencers in that like the new age kind of movement.
In fact, they had like 30 million followers on social media, like top 0.1% of social media
influencers was this couple that own this group.
And guess where they live.
They lived in Austin.
And when they found out that one of the people that makes great videos in their group that
they love, and they shared my videos all the time, they invited my husband and I to come
to their home.
So we went to their home twice.
And both times David felt led to ask the woman, the wife, if he could pray for her, like lay
hands on her and pray for her.
And both times she allowed him to do it.
And I was just like, okay, something weird's happened.
I don't know what.
Now, fast forward three more years, you guys, my mom passes away, COVID happens.
We never see them again.
They never invite us back over to their house.
It's just, you know, we all lose touch of each other.
And then I get a message on Facebook saying that, hey, I'm this.
woman's sister, you know, that woman, the influencer, I'm her sister and she needs help
and she asked me to reach out to you.
And I was just like, what is this a prank?
What's going on right now?
And she's like, listen, she's like, please, if you still live in Austin, will you meet
my sister at such and such a place?
So I show up and guess what?
It's her, it's the wife, it's the influencer.
And I'm like, okay, what's going on?
She starts to tell me what's happening.
And I immediately get a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit.
And I know that her husband has had a schizophrenic break.
Now she thinks that her husband and her are running from the feds, that they got in trouble
because of their taxes or yada, yada, or all these stories that he's been telling her.
And they're hiding out.
These are very, very wealthy people.
They're hiding out in a hotel room from, you know, all these people that are after them.
And she's scared out of her mind.
She's not eating, she's not sleeping.
And so I don't say anything to her right then because I don't feel led to, but I make her
promise to meet me again.
And the second time that she meets me, I said, look, I need to tell you something.
And then I proceed to tell her that her husband has schizophrenia.
How do I know that?
Because my brother has schizophrenia and my father has schizophrenia and I know what schizophrenia
looks like.
And I proceed to tell her and she doesn't want to receive it.
She doesn't want to believe it.
But then I lay hands on her and I pray for her and I pray that she'll be able to see
what she needs to see when she goes back to the hotel room.
And she goes back to the hotel room and she sees that she's not actually running from
the feds, but she's actually being held hostage in a hotel room by her husband.
And so we have to get the police involved to remove her.
And then she lives with David and I for the next four months.
You guys, where did this story come from?
This story came from me going to a dinner in Nashville because some random woman, and
by the way, that random woman that came up to me in that church lobby, she didn't even
come to that dinner.
I never saw that woman again.
For all I know, she's not even a real person.
I don't even know.
But that's not all, you guys.
So when this influencer lives with us for four months, we find out all about her.
And what we find out about her is that she was one of the main producers on the show
The Bachelor and she's a TV producer and she's worked in TV for the last 20 years.
And so she is the person that actually gets me my first TV developmental contract, meaning
they want to develop a show around me, a reality TV show about dating.
And that's still in the works.
And so you guys, hello?
Do you see it?
Do you see the dots?
A lot of times we miss dots because they don't look like destiny.
We miss dots because they're random and we think that they don't mean anything.
If I wouldn't have gone to that dinner, then I wouldn't have met Amy.
And if I wouldn't have met Amy, then I wouldn't have ended up joining that Facebook group.
And if I didn't join that Facebook group, then I wouldn't have launched The Heart Workshop.
And if I wouldn't have done that, then I wouldn't have, you know, gone to, well, a whole bunch
of things happened there, but I wouldn't have done the next five things that I did that
led me to move to Austin, that led me to meet Jenny and Bryant, that led Jenny to ask us
for help, that led her to live with us, that led to now.
And she's also a really dear and close friend, like a sister to me.
So I want you to write this down, your first activation.
I want you to pray and think of one moment in your life that didn't make sense at the
time or still doesn't make sense.
Go ahead.
I want you guys to know that God told me He's connecting dots in this season.
He said nothing will be wasted.
Nothing's going to be wasted, you guys.
We all have really random things in our lives.
Why did I take that course?
Why did I go to that class?
Why did I, why did I get that degree and that certification?
I never even did anything with it.
Why did I move here?
Why did I do this?
Why did I do that?
So many of those things.
All right.
You guys got that written down?
All right.
Next story.
We're going to go quickly through this story.
A lot of you have heard it before, but it's important because it's a bunch of dots.
So you guys, I was going through a divorce and, you know, it was really bad.
I was at the tail end of my marriage and my friend invited me to an event at her church.
My church was in turmoil.
My pastor was going to prison.
I was just in a really bad place.
And she invited me to an event at her church and I went.
I didn't really want to go, but I really liked this friend.
So I went to this event and I told myself before I got there that I was only going to
stay for 45 minutes.
This was a mega church and they had this big outdoor picnic called picnic with the pastor.
And they had this giant jumbotron, the kind that you see at the Superbowl.
That's what they had set up on their church property.
That's the kind of event, really mega church kind of stuff.
So I get there and, you know, she's introducing me to people and I ate some food and whatever,
and then they start showing videos on this jumbotron.
And the videos are like prank videos that they have done of their staff members.
So they prank their staff members kind of like punk style from MTV.
You know, if you have ever seen that show and they're really funny videos, they're really
well made.
This is a TV church.
This is a church that's on television.
So they have a great media department and they were funny videos.
And now, but my 45 minutes is up and I'm really going to leave.
And so as I'm going to leave, there's one video that's playing that I just kind of stop
in my tracks and watch.
And it was really funny.
And the guy that was being pranked in the video seemed really familiar to me.
And so I asked my friend, I said, Hey, did you know, do you know that guy?
And she's like, yeah, she grew up at this church.
She grew up in the youth group.
She'd been at this church all her life.
And I said, who is that guy?
She said, that's our youth pastor.
And I said, do you know if he grew up in Cleveland?
Now this is in Columbus, Ohio, that this is happening.
And she's like, no, she's like, I'm pretty sure he's from here.
And I'm like, that's so weird because I could, I really could swear that I went to school
with him, you know, and I just couldn't place him.
I just, I knew I knew him, but I just didn't know why.
And then I go on my merry way and I think about it for a few more minutes.
You guys, you've all done it like, man, where do I know that person from?
And then I just forget about it.
And then my life is whatever, done.
Two years later, two years later, you guys, I'm looking for a place to live.
I'm a single mom.
I can't afford much.
If I'm just being fully honest, I have terrible credit from my divorce because nothing was
in my name and just bad, just a bad situation that I'm in.
And I find these townhomes and honestly, there are way more than I can afford, but the guy
is willing to give me a shot to live there.
And you know, if you have bad credit, it's really hard to rent.
And so he, they're, they're brand new builds.
They're new build townhomes in a great area.
And I'm like, okay, I'll go ahead and I'm going to stretch God.
I'm just going to trust you.
And so I rent one of the townhomes and I lived there for an entire year, you guys, an entire
year, just making it, just scraping by, just making it, working at the, working in insurance,
working at nighttime at a pizza place, just making it okay.
And then my lease is up.
And I'm like, you know what?
I'm just not going to do this.
I'm going to find something cheaper.
Now my credit's better.
I have a regular paycheck.
I'm just going to find something cheaper.
And I feel God say to me, don't do that.
Stay here.
And I was like, ugh, because you know, it'd be easier just to find something cheaper,
wouldn't it?
It doesn't seem logical to stay.
There's no logical reason to stay because it's too expensive.
But I do.
I stay.
And shortly after, a new neighbor moves in next door, a divorced dad with two kids.
And of course, you guys know the story.
That's David Dorman.
And now we've been married for 20 years.
But you know who else it was?
The guy from the video at the party.
He not only is my husband now, but he also was the man that I thought I knew playing
on that video that day.
Come on, y'all.
I don't care who you are.
That's crazy.
That's crazy talk, right?
You guys, we have three types of dots usually.
We have obedient dots.
These are the dots where you did something because God told you to, like staying in that
townhouse, even when it didn't make sense.
You were obedient.
You moved.
You started something.
You ended something.
You did something because God told you to, even though your human intellect was like,
I don't know about this.
And then we have painful dots.
We have things that hurt us, things that happen to us, betrayals, disappearances.
appointments. These are little landmarks.
These are little dots in our lives that don't make any sense.
We don't even know why we went through that thing.
We have confusing dots.
Those are kind of a mix of both of the other kinds where things that are just
random, they seem pointless at the time.
Skills that we pick up, you know,
certifications that we get seasons that seem to go nowhere.
Jobs that we leave because we feel like we're supposed to leave and then there's
no new job waiting for us.
Anyone quit a job because you feel like you're supposed to and then you can't
find another one. Like, uh, we've all been in these crazy places.
I want you guys to think about that stuff right now.
All right. We're going to continue on with a couple more stories. Wait,
I'm going to give you an activation though. Hold on a sec.
Okay.
Where's the activation that I want for this?
All right, here's the activation. Where in your life,
whatever is the first thing that comes, you guys don't dig around.
Did logic say one thing, but you felt led to do something else.
You just did something. You have that, that confusing dot,
where that obedient dot,
and maybe you already know how it connects.
Maybe you already have gotten past the confusing part of it. Uh,
but write it down anyway. But for those of you that, Hey,
this is still just a random thing. I felt like God told me to do this.
You might even still be in the middle of it right now,
but it just doesn't make any sense. And nothing good has come of it so far.
You're going against human reasoning and just doing something.
For some of you, it might've been joined in this community.
Where in your life did logic say one thing,
but you felt led to do something else and you did it.
Someone asked me to repeat it.
That's that obedient dot. God told me to stay in that townhouse.
Didn't make any sense. I think it was like something crazy,
like $1,500 a month. This is a long time ago. You guys,
it was already that expensive that long time ago.
That was a lot for a single mom.
If you ever wonder why I keep this program so cost effective and so cheap when
other people charge thousands of dollars,
they don't deliver what we have here and they don't have the type of success
stories we do. It's because of that reason.
I was a single mom and I get, I get fixed income.
I get limited resources. I get it. Okay. All right.
Guys got those dots down. Let's go on. Let's go on to another dot story.
So you guys, David and I both started our lives in California.
I don't know if you know that about us. My mom grew up in California.
She went to school in Torrance and she raised us in the like Newport,
Long Beach, Huntington beach area. Okay.
But then she went through a divorce with my dad and she ended up moving to
Cleveland, Ohio.
So I started my life in California in the OC and David started his life in
Fairfield, California on the air force base.
So that's Northern California, like near Sacramento, Vacaville area.
So when we got together and got married,
we both love California and we said when our kids graduate,
because remember we're divorced people, so we have shared parenting agreements.
We can't just move, can't just do whatever we want.
But when the kids graduate and our shared parenting agreements end,
we said we would move to California our entire married life.
We said that we would move to California.
So finally the youngest is about to graduate. She's a junior.
She's going to graduate the next year. So we go and visit California,
expecting the red carpet to be rolled out,
expecting to really feel connected to it, expecting to, you know,
start making a plan and expecting it to feel like home. And guess what?
It didn't. We felt no connection. We felt no peace.
So we go back to Ohio after that fact finding mission.
And I'm pretty depressed about it because this has been the plan from the very
beginning. Anyone else make a plan?
And then when you go to kind of execute the plan, you're like, man,
this doesn't feel right. This just doesn't, this is not it.
So I start praying and God speaks to me and says,
you're going to move to Texas. You're going to move to
Austin, Texas.
And I was like, what?
First of all, you guys, we don't have any connection to Texas and neither one of us
had ever been to Austin.
And so I'm really kind of hesitant to even say anything to David.
But finally, I'm like, hey, babe, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I feel like God
said we're not going to go to California because we're going to go to Austin, Texas.
And he's like, babe, God told me the exact same thing.
So now we're cooking with fire, right?
So it's like, OK, that's crazy.
Let's wrap our minds and hearts around that for a little while.
So we did.
And we went to Austin and we visited.
And guess what?
It felt familiar.
It felt right.
And we knew that it was true that we were going to move to Austin.
But then something in me sparked and I was like, I feel like I've heard this before.
I'm having deja vu.
You guys, if you feel like you're having deja vu, I want you to stop and I want you to
take a minute and I want you to write down what feels familiar.
And I also want you to take note of where you are, you know, what's the scenario like
if you have deja vu at a coffee shop when you're talking to your friend, Melanie, write
all that down.
I'm at a coffee shop.
I'm with Melanie, you know, write it down, because.
Many times, not always, but many times the feeling of deja vu, please hear me.
The feeling of deja vu is convergence.
It means that you're actually getting into alignment with something that God has spoken
over you.
A lot of times that's what deja vu is.
Deja vu is you coming into a season of convergence.
And so you need to be paying attention to that.
So I started having deja vu and I'm like, man, I feel like I've been here before.
Like I've heard this before.
And then God reminds me that years prior, you guys know how I always say that I helped
15 of my friends get married before I ever started marrying 12 months or less.
Like I've always been the matchmaker.
Well, one of those friends, when I helped her to, you know, to upgrade her love life,
to meet someone, when I helped her meet this guy, it required her to move.
And I went over her house and helped her pack.
And while I was helping her pack, she said to me, this was years before you guys.
She said to me, because she was moving to Austin, Texas, and I had forgotten about
it completely.
And she said to me, when I was helping her move, loading up her U-Haul, she said, hey,
Jackie, I just want you to know that, you know, someday you're going to move to Austin,
Texas too.
One little seed, you guys.
And I, and I, and I remember just totally laughing about it like, yeah, sure.
I'll see you in Texas, honey.
I know you're going to miss me.
You know, kind of thing.
Because when I tell you Texas was not on my radar, it was on my radar at all, at all.
So I called her up and I said, hey, Annie, do you remember telling me that I was going
to move to Austin someday?
This is over a decade later, you guys.
And she said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
And I said, why did you say that?
And she said, oh, I didn't say it.
She said Jeff said it.
So Jeff was the guy that she was moving from Ohio to Texas to be in relationship with.
So you guys, God spoke my future through someone who wasn't even talking to me.
And I forgot the word, but God didn't.
So here's your third activation.
What is something that has been spoken over you that maybe you've just disregarded?
You've just blown off as just, oh, that's silly.
That's dumb.
And if you can't think of something like that, then write down something that someone else
spoke over you that has not happened yet.
Okay, I'm going to go on to the third story while you guys are working on that or the
fourth story, because we want to make sure we end with enough time to activate at the
end.
Okay.
As we're packing to move to Austin.
Well, it wasn't really as we were packing, it was before we moved.
So after God told us we were going to move to Austin, I obviously started praying into
why, because from the time God told us we were going to move to Austin and we actually
moved to Austin, it was about ten months later.
And so I started to pray, God, you know, why, why, why, why are we moving to Austin?
What's going on?
Why do you want us to move there?
And he starts to talk to us about a youth movement.
Now you guys, I'm not involved in youth at the time.
My kids are all like late high school, college age, both of my, but my, my oldest and my
middle child are in college and my youngest daughter is a senior in high school.
And yeah, we've always loved their friends and we've always had gatherings at our house
and all the things.
But as far as like being involved with like youth ministry, that's not something that
we've ever really done or wanted to do.
Okay.
I mean, yeah, David was a youth pastor at Omega Church, but that was many, many, many,
many moons ago.
Okay.
So God starts to talk to me about this space, you guys.
He shows me this space, this building.
He said, you're gonna, you're gonna get a building in Austin and this is what it's going
to look like.
It's going to have two huge garage doors, like a warehouse, it's going to have a real
industrial feel and it's going to be right next to a train track, right?
In fact, in my mind, I kept calling this, this building the depot because it was right
next to a train track.
And he said, and it's going to be on the West side of Austin.
Now you guys, I didn't live in Austin yet, so I didn't understand that there is a distinct
West and East side of Austin based on a freeway called 35.
And everyone talks about either the West side or the East side.
And I know that all cities have that, but this city is very, very specific about, hey,
you're either a West sider or you're an East sider, you know what I'm saying?
All right.
And so when God was giving me these, these, this depiction of this building, I didn't
even know that yet, but he said specifically, go West, it's on the West side.
And so when we moved to Austin, first of all, we don't even have money to rent a building.
We don't even want to start a youth movement, but we are obedient.
When we moved to Austin, we don't really, we don't know why we're here.
So we just start searching for this building because we don't know why else we would be
here.
So we searched for the building, months go by, we're still searching.
We're always looking.
When we first moved here, we searched every day for the building.
And then, you know, then we kind of gave up, started just getting acclimated to living
here.
And let me tell you, one of the things that happened by moving to Austin is that our oldest
child, our son, and our youngest daughter both met their spouses here.
So Jaron's about to get married at the end of May to his, to his fiance.
He met her here.
And then our daughter, about a year into living here, she met the guy who's now her husband.
They've been married for almost two years.
Okay.
Trevor.
And so we stopped looking.
We forget about this building.
We forget about the words, you guys, we've lived here for eight years now.
Okay.
So we forget about this probably about three or four years in.
We just totally forget about this.
Our kids meet their spouses, Reagan specifically, you know, she gets married and she tells her
husband the story about us moving here.
She tells her husband, Trevor, the story about the building and about the vision and about
what it looks like.
And so guess what?
My son-in-law Trevor starts looking for this building.
I don't know he's doing that.
He's just doing it.
And he finds it the exact building, the garage doors, the train tracks, the West side, all
of it.
I get a text message saying, Hey mom, we found the building.
What, what building?
The building that God told you about, we found it.
And I was like, okay.
So David and I drive over and we're like, oh my God, they found it.
We walk in, we feel, we feel the Holy Spirit.
We know we're supposed to lease this building.
Now when we first moved there, we wouldn't have been able to lease it, but now we can
because we have a company, we have a business.
I know you guys know we have last year's single, but we also have a media business and we leased
this building.
Our business leases this building.
We start building podcast studios in it and all different types of things.
And you know who ends up taking over this building?
Our children, my son-in-law and my daughter end up taking over this building.
They're running it.
They're running out of it.
A youth movement, a coworking movement for college students, for creatives, film, fashion,
art, music, media.
They have a coffee shop on the weekends.
They have young entrepreneurs.
They have maker's markets.
They have, um, they have a prayer house, a prayer coffee house that's starting now three
days a week.
You guys know that we signed the lease for that building.
We've been in that building.
over a year now. But we signed the lease to that building seven years to the day that we moved to
Austin. It was the very day that we stepped foot in Austin that we signed that lease seven years
later. The delay wasn't denial. It was just development, wasn't it? We weren't the people
that were going to, the reason why we didn't feel like we were going to start a youth movement is
because it wasn't us that was going to start it. Do you guys see that? Now look at these,
you guys, look at these full connection dot moments. In one of these stories, God was
hiding my connection in a caterer. I could have very easily had an arrogant attitude and just
been like, oh, I only want to meet a TV person and just not paid attention to anybody else.
But if you guys know me, you know, I'm not like that. So he hid, he hid the next step in a caterer,
right? And the other story, he showed me my husband on a screen before I ever met him.
He convinced me to stay in a really expensive townhouse in order to end up being his neighbor.
And the other story, he's speaking my future, parts of my future through someone who's not
even talking to me. And then this one, you know, he gave me details, very specific details that he
fulfilled seven years later through someone else and for someone else. Look at that, you guys,
we're not living random lives. You are living inside a divinely orchestrated story where every
detail matters to God. I know that you feel random. I know that your life may feel random.
I know that you may feel like God is not paying attention to details, but this God has numbered
every hair on your head. He has knit you together in your mother's womb fearfully and wonderfully
and says he laid out every day of your life in a book that's all about you before you were even born.
Come on.
So you guys write down some things right now. If you got some random dots,
moments that just feel random out of place, they don't make sense. Write those things down.
We're going to steward these dots y'all because God said I'm connecting dots in this season.
So we're going to start stewarding these dots.
Random dots, things that feel out of place, feel random. You still don't even know what's going on.
You went to college for something that you actually never did as a career. A random dot.
Maybe like me, you move somewhere and you still don't even know why you're there.
So those are other things you can write down. Write down some things that you feel out of place.
Those are other things you can write down. Write down some things that you felt led to
do that didn't make sense and maybe they still don't make sense.
Yes, Timber, it is a treasure map.
The thing that you need to understand though is that you're the treasure.
Write down anywhere where you've been working on something that feels delayed.
Just can't find the pieces to it.
God said in this season I'm connecting the dots and nothing is going to be wasted you guys.
Nothing is going to be wasted. He reminds me of the Indians and the buffalo. I remember learning
about how they used every part of the buffalo, every part. They didn't waste anything. They used
everything. They killed that animal. They did not waste it. They didn't just leave it there to rot,
take what they wanted. They used everything, didn't they? Remember the stories of the Indians
and the buffalo? They used the hide. They used the bones. They used the sinews and the muscles.
They used the meat, obviously. They used everything.
Nothing was wasted.
You guys, God, He's not a wasteful God. He's a very intentional God.
So even mistakes that you've made won't be wasted. Remember Romans 8, 28,
I'm working all things to the good of those that love me. All things mean all things.
Nothing is wasted. Even your mistakes aren't wasted.
So that means that the relationship that you have with God is not going to be wasted.
So that means that the relationship that you had was not wasted.
For those of you that, you know, thought you were in good marriages and you woke up one day
and your spouse was like, I don't want to be married to you anymore. You found out they
were being unfaithful or whatever. And you feel like, wow, what a waste. I wish I would
have married somebody else. I married the wrong person. No, you didn't.
That person changed, that person fell into sin.
It does happen, but that will not be wasted.
Joel too tells us that he will restore
the time and the fruit.
The delay in your life isn't wasted.
The decisions that you make, they're not wasted.
And I believe that we're in a season
where things are going to start to make sense,
where a picture is going to begin to form.
And even a season where you're going to be able
to look back and say, oh yeah, that makes sense.
That was why that happened.
Now there's one final dot that I want to make sure
that we grab ahold of before we close today.
Close your eyes and I want you to ask God,
show me one dot that maybe I'm not thinking of
because I've just dismissed it, but it actually matters.
Show it to me.
What are you connecting right now in my life, God?
All right, while you're thinking of that,
I'm just going to make a final declaration over you.
Father, nothing in our lives are wasted.
You're connecting every detail, every person,
everything, every moment, every season.
It's all coming together.
The painful seasons.
You said that we're in a Job 42, 12 moment,
and that was the latter half of Job's life.
I just released the latter half
over all of my brothers and sisters and myself.
We might've had some good times in the former.
We may have had some hard times in the former,
but we are stepping into the latter.
And it says in your word in Job 42, 12,
and you said that we're in a Job 42, 12 season,
that the latter half of Job's life
was greater than the former.
And so I just released that
over my brothers and sisters and myself.
I believe that we are in the season of the latter rain.
And you said that you would cause that to come down double.
So Lord, we just declare that right now.
Guys, go ahead and put anything that you want in the chat.
I'm gonna grab that scripture right now.
I'm feeling Holy Spirit, so we're gonna grab it.
It also is from Joel 2,
and I was already quoting from Joel 2.
So we're gonna go ahead and grab it, okay?
Be glad then, you children of Zion,
and rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he hath given you the former rain moderately,
and he will cause to come down for you the rain,
the former rain and the latter rain together
in the first month.
And your floor shall be full of wheat,
and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years, the locust,
the years, you guys, the years, the moments, the dots,
that the locust hath eaten,
the canker worm and the caterpillar, the palmer worm,
my great army, which I sent among you,
and you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
and praise the name of the Lord your God
that hath dealt wondrously with you,
and my people shall never be ashamed.
And so Lord, we thank you for that,
and we thank you for the promise that comes after that,
that you'll pour out your spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
and your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions,
and we declare it in Jesus' name.
Come on, y'all.
I did a study a long time ago
about all the different pestilence
that's mentioned in that scripture,
the palmer worm and the canker worm
and the locust and the caterpillar,
and it's just a phenomenal teaching,
and maybe one day I'll teach you guys it
if you wanna hear it.
There's a reason why there's different plagues
mentioned in that scripture.
Come on, you guys, do you receive it?
Do you receive the season where nothing is wasted?
I can see that some of you have a hard time hoping
for a shift.
I taught this yesterday on a thing
that I'm involved with, a whole nother group,
and this is just a word right now for the body of Christ.
The Job 42.
12 is the right now word and the nothing wasted in the season, God connecting dots is a word
for this season.
So you guys take it, take it and run with it.
Run with it in your prayer life, declare it over yourself, press into it, pray into it,
judge it.
The Bible says to judge every word, judge it, of course, judge it.
Write on it, do everything you guys, I can't do that for you.
God can't do that for you.
You have to do that for yourself, but I receive it for myself and I'm seeing it.
You guys, I received this television word over 15 years ago and guess what?
I'm in a season where it's just coming.
In fact, you guys, uh, I haven't even been home for a couple of days from access Hollywood
and I got a call yesterday from Fox news asking me to be an expert commentator on some scandal
that's happening in some couple's life.
So I'm going to be on Fox news, not tomorrow, but Monday.
And I was also told that I'm the go to person for Fox news for relationships.
Now this is only my second time being on Fox news, but I'm now the producers on Fox.
I'm their go to expert for anything that has to do with relationship.
I just want to let you guys know I didn't do that to myself.
I didn't call up Fox news and say, Hey, do you know me?
It's the word that was spoken.
The dots are connecting.
I'm not connecting the dots.
It's connecting the dots.
You guys feel that in the spirit to feel that pause.
That's cause God wants to speak.
Hollywood just got it.
We've just gotten off by now, but there's a teaching moment when you feel that reverence
come feel the reverence, the silence.
In my experience, that's when there's a prophetic word coming or tongues interpretation coming.
So if anyone has a strong tongue that has come over them right now, and you just can't
even hold it back, you can just go ahead and release that because otherwise it's just going
to come in the form of a prophetic word.
Four, three, two, one.
Okay.
We're going to push past that moment.
You want to read about the gifts of the spirit.
You can go read about them.
So now let's look to the Lord for the prophetic word.
My sons and daughters, do you not know that I love you?
Do you not know that I'm with you?
Do you not know that I have seen you from the very beginning?
Not the beginning of your life, but from the beginning of my creation, I saw you.
I saw you.
You were in my imagination.
I saw you.
You are not random.
You are not here without me.
You are inside of me.
I have you.
I have you in my hands.
You do not need to fear.
You do not need to fear stepping forward.
You do not need to fear stepping out.
You do not need to fear doing things that are in your heart because I placed those things
there.
I know you intimately.
I know you even better than you know yourself.
And I want great things for you.
I want great things for you even more than you want great things.
And so know that you have my permission.
Know that you have my permission to live a big and beautiful and bountiful life.
Know that you have my permission to step out and to step in and to do the things that you
desire to do.
It's not too late.
Now is the time.
Now is the time to take risks.
Now is the time to do what's in your heart.
Now is the time to trust me, even when you can't trace me.
Now is the time.
If you step forward, you will see my glory.
You will see my power.
You will see my deliverance.
You will see that I have you and that I always have had you.
I'm holding you.
You're being held.
You are not alone.
You are not forgotten.
You are not random.
You are mine.
Now show the world that you are mine because that is what you're here to do.
Yes, yes and amen.
And I want this to be a teaching moment.
Whoever had that word, it was okay for you to release it.
When you feel that pressure building up in your spirit, like you might just explode,
it's okay for you to release it.
You may not have been taught about the gifts or how they work, but that is what that was.
And I went ahead and released it because you didn't.
But I want to let you know that God will work with and through anybody.
And that spirit was upon all of us just now to receive that word of prophetic confirmation
of this call.
And so Lord, we thank you for it.
We receive it.
We will be doers and not just hearers of your word in Jesus name.
All right, friends, I love you so much.
Go forward.
Listen to that word and replay, write down the words of it and apply it to your life.
Step into it because God is giving us permission.
See you soon.
