1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.760
All right, let's get started.

2
00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:11.220
I am so excited about today because the main theme of today, now take this in, is that

3
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:18.000
you have not been forgotten, okay, that God has not forgotten you and that you haven't

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.780
missed God.

5
00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:20.780
You haven't missed him.

6
00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:22.520
It's really important that we understand that.

7
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:25.640
I think a lot of us internalize these types of ideas.

8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.920
Oh, God's forgotten me.

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.000
First of all, it's not possible for God to forget you.

10
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.760
For those of you that are new to Supernatural Saturday, welcome.

11
00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:36.500
This is the session where we look to the Lord.

12
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:41.880
What is the current prophetic reality of heaven and applying it to our lives?

13
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.160
The reason why it's not possible for God to forget you is first of all, he's omnipotent.

14
00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:49.160
He's omniscient, which means that you live inside of him.

15
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:51.080
You don't live outside of God.

16
00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:54.520
I want to just break down some truth over you this morning.

17
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.240
You do not live outside of God.

18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.760
God is not a separate thing from you.

19
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:01.800
You live in him and he lives in you.

20
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.239
Take that in for a second.

21
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.160
You live inside of him.

22
00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:07.160
Why?

23
00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:10.200
Because all things exist and consist inside of him.

24
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.020
That's what the Bible says.

25
00:01:12.020 --> 00:01:16.360
He takes up all space, all space, friends.

26
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:21.560
So you exist inside of him and he exists inside of you.

27
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.280
How does he exist inside of you?

28
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.880
In the form of when you welcome Jesus in your heart and you are filled with the Holy

29
00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:27.880
Spirit.

30
00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:31.560
Do you guys got it?

31
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.160
So you exist inside God and God exists inside of you and so that's why he could never forget

32
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.160
about you.

33
00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:43.760
Did you know the Bible says that he has written you on the palms of his hands?

34
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.200
Let's think about it for a second.

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.080
Who in the Godhead, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, had something done to the palms of their hands?

36
00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:56.280
Want to think about that for a second?

37
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.280
Who was that?

38
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.880
I didn't know this was going to turn into a Sunday school lesson.

39
00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:01.880
Okay.

40
00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:02.880
Who was that?

41
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:03.880
That was Jesus, right?

42
00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:06.400
Was Jesus nailed to a cross?

43
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.480
Yes, he was.

44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.479
And how was he nailed to the cross?

45
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.039
Through his hands and his feet.

46
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:16.880
When he appeared to the disciples after the resurrection and Thomas was doubting that

47
00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:19.160
it was truly him, what did he say to him?

48
00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:23.720
He said, come in and put your fingers in the holes in my hands.

49
00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:27.240
Didn't he say that?

50
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:28.240
And we are all doubters.

51
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.480
We're all Thomas, y'all.

52
00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:32.160
We're all Thomas.

53
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:33.320
You know, is that you?

54
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:34.820
Is that really you, Lord?

55
00:02:34.820 --> 00:02:36.040
Are you asking me to do this?

56
00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:38.440
Are you asking me to move to Austin, Texas, Lord?

57
00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:40.080
This is me eight years ago.

58
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.440
God, is that really you?

59
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:46.160
Jesus, is that really you?

60
00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:50.840
He has written us on the palms of his hands, meaning that when he was nailed to that cross,

61
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:57.680
he was nailed to that cross for you and as you, as you, dying for you, but also dying

62
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.800
as you so that you could live in freedom from the curse.

63
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.020
So that you can live the way that you were meant to live from the original plan that

64
00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:10.860
God had for humanity.

65
00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.760
So it's not possible.

66
00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:20.720
He's taken the wounds in his body, remind us, remind him, remind us of what he's done

67
00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:24.840
for us, but remind him of us, okay?

68
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.200
Each and every one of us.

69
00:03:27.200 --> 00:03:31.720
And I know that you, you know, as a human being, you can't possibly remember each and

70
00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:32.840
every person on earth.

71
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.580
You can't even remember who you met yesterday, but that's not God.

72
00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:42.080
We can't personify God and this is where we go wrong so often is we, we make God a person,

73
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.600
a human person, we personify him and then we put all the weaknesses and all the frailties

74
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.760
of humanity upon him.

75
00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.560
He did take on the weakness and frailty of humanity in the form of Jesus Christ, but

76
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.360
he still was without sin.

77
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.280
And then he died and was resurrected and glorified and now he sits at the right hand of the father.

78
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.160
And so we have to understand that we're not dealing with regular humans here.

79
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.680
And of course, God is a spirit and not a human.

80
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.640
And so just starting off with that this morning, because it's important that you understand

81
00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:22.200
that God has not forgotten you and you also haven't missed him.

82
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:24.600
You have not missed him.

83
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.560
So today we're going to talk about connecting dots.

84
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.600
And so if you don't have any paper to write on, go ahead and grab something for those

85
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.360
of you that are just jumping on now, I announced that earlier, but I'm going to announce it

86
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.360
again.

87
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.080
Now, a lot of us have been frustrated in these past seasons.

88
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.960
There's definitely a lot of things in our lives that don't make sense.

89
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:50.520
A lot of things that feel random, disconnected pieces.

90
00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:55.280
And I've had a lot of those in my life, a bunch of moments that don't seem to fit together

91
00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:57.940
and a bunch of places where I was like, God, did I miss you?

92
00:04:57.940 --> 00:04:59.220
Did I make a wrong decision?

93
00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:00.080
Did I make a wrong decision?

94
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.440
on turn here, but it's important for us to understand that we don't always see the pattern.

95
00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:14.600
In fact, oftentimes we don't see the pattern until God starts connecting the dots.

96
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.720
So I was gone this week, this last week, spur of the moment, remember friends, and I want

97
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.920
you guys to see the prophetic fruition of this right here.

98
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.820
Remember how I told you guys I wasn't ready and I missed those two amazing opportunities

99
00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:34.220
to go and do media in New York and in Nashville.

100
00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:37.740
Remember I told you guys that, but what did I say right after that?

101
00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:42.180
I said, that's okay because there's more coming.

102
00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:43.700
Didn't I say that?

103
00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:44.700
And why is that?

104
00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:51.260
Because I know I can sense deep in my spirit that I'm in a season of activation in this

105
00:05:51.260 --> 00:05:53.780
prophetic word over my life about TV.

106
00:05:53.780 --> 00:05:59.140
I can sense that it's been activated and God spoke to me and told me, you know, just

107
00:05:59.140 --> 00:06:03.780
get ready, get ready because there's more where that's coming from.

108
00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:08.540
Now, you know, I didn't get ready after the first time I missed New York and then I missed

109
00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:11.660
Nashville, but I promise you I was ready the next time.

110
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:12.660
And guess what?

111
00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:13.660
The call came.

112
00:06:13.660 --> 00:06:18.260
I had less than 48 hours notice to get my booty out to Hollywood, California to be on

113
00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:19.260
Access Hollywood.

114
00:06:19.260 --> 00:06:23.740
I don't know if any of you see that show, but you guys, that is by far the biggest opportunity.

115
00:06:24.700 --> 00:06:27.620
Not only did I miss the two smaller, but great opportunities.

116
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:31.340
They were great opportunities, but they were definitely smaller than this opportunity.

117
00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:33.220
But when the third one came, guess what?

118
00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:41.160
I was ready for it and I was able to get up to bat and literally hit that ball right out

119
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.500
of the park.

120
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:43.820
All right.

121
00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:49.020
Not only was I fabulous on that show, I'm just going to Royal brag on myself this morning

122
00:06:49.700 --> 00:06:54.700
under the power of the Holy Spirit, but they asked me to come back.

123
00:06:54.700 --> 00:06:58.660
So that doesn't normally happen on TV shows, but they said, that was fabulous.

124
00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:00.180
We would love to have you back.

125
00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:01.740
And I'm like, let's go.

126
00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:07.500
So I just want to let you guys know that we are in a season of fruition of promises and

127
00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:10.180
they're kind of coming suddenly, right?

128
00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:11.180
They're coming suddenly.

129
00:07:11.180 --> 00:07:16.140
But what you guys don't know is that I got a word and I'm going to, I'm going to mention

130
00:07:16.140 --> 00:07:19.580
it today as we're doing the activations.

131
00:07:19.580 --> 00:07:21.900
For those of you that don't know, some of you know the story.

132
00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:30.940
I got a word about being on TV over 15 years ago when I had nothing to do with TV, nothing.

133
00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:34.940
I mean, like I wasn't involved in any kind of TV at all.

134
00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:40.840
And I got that word and the prophetic marker of that word, get this, you guys really important.

135
00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:47.360
The prophetic marker of that word was a peacock and it continued to get confirmed through

136
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.440
this symbol of a peacock.

137
00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:50.440
Guess what?

138
00:07:50.440 --> 00:07:56.600
Access Hollywood is on the Peacock Network, NBC.

139
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.840
It actually streams on the Peacock, which is NBC streaming service.

140
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:10.860
And so come on, let's go.

141
00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:14.000
You will not get ready for what you do not believe is going to happen.

142
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.160
You guys know my favorite quote.

143
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.880
It's been attributed to Nelson Mandela.

144
00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:23.040
I don't know if he's the first one who ever said it, but you will not prepare for what

145
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.520
you do.

146
00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:32.760
You will not prepare for what you secretly believe is not going to happen.

147
00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:34.400
Not outwardly believe.

148
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:38.240
A lot of people say they outwardly believe things, but they secretly believe that it's

149
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.559
not going to happen.

150
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:44.760
In their innermost being, they believe it's not going to happen.

151
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:48.560
And if that is where you don't believe it's going to happen, you can say all day long

152
00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:53.320
that you believe, but if you don't believe, then you're not going to prepare.

153
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.720
And you're like, well, Jackie, how do I know which camp I'm in?

154
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:56.800
Are you preparing?

155
00:08:56.800 --> 00:09:01.160
Because if you're preparing, then you believe.

156
00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:06.560
The proof of belief is action, is it not?

157
00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:09.000
It is.

158
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:16.560
So we've been very frustrated, you guys, including myself.

159
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:21.680
The problem with us is that we always want to understand our life going forward.

160
00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:22.680
We want to see the future.

161
00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:26.280
We want to understand our life going forward, but oftentimes you can only understand your

162
00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:30.240
life looking backward, isn't that true?

163
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.760
That's why they say hindsight is 20-20.

164
00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:34.200
You don't really know what God is doing.

165
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:35.720
It doesn't make sense in the moment.

166
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.640
You can't really see the next step.

167
00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:39.780
You have to have faith for that.

168
00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:44.720
But then you look backwards from where you've come from and you're like, oh yeah, that makes

169
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.000
sense now.

170
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.000
And we don't like that.

171
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.000
And I get it.

172
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:53.800
So I'm going to tell a few stories because I want you to understand the connecting of

173
00:09:53.800 --> 00:09:54.800
the dots.

174
00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:59.560
And we're going to do some activations over your dots today.

175
00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:00.080
So Father God.

176
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.960
I pray that you speak to me and speak through me.

177
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.880
I'm praying for all my brothers and sisters

178
00:10:03.880 --> 00:10:05.320
that they would have hearts to receive

179
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:06.960
what you're saying to them today

180
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.340
and actually to activate it.

181
00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:10.880
We can't just be hearers of your word,

182
00:10:10.880 --> 00:10:12.400
we have to be doers of your word.

183
00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:14.620
And so Lord, I'm praying that you would give us

184
00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:18.760
the faith necessary to activate what we hear today,

185
00:10:18.760 --> 00:10:21.840
to take action on it so that we can get into alignment

186
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:23.640
with all the amazing and wonderful things

187
00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:25.360
that you're doing in our lives,

188
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.800
even if we haven't been able to see it up until now.

189
00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:30.840
In Jesus name, amen.

190
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:31.680
All right.

191
00:10:32.680 --> 00:10:35.240
Now, for the sake of time,

192
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.200
I'm just gonna cliff note these stories.

193
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.680
I have like four stories that I'm gonna tell over you

194
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:43.040
and after each story, we're gonna do an activation, okay?

195
00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:44.640
These are my dots.

196
00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:46.160
And some of you have heard snippets

197
00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:47.360
of some of these stories before,

198
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.080
but these are the four stories that I wanted to use

199
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.080
because I feel like they show dots the best in my life, okay?

200
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.720
All right, years ago, I got a prophetic word.

201
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:58.880
It was 16 years ago.

202
00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:00.960
I was standing in a church lobby.

203
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.520
You guys, I was with my husband.

204
00:11:02.520 --> 00:11:04.320
He was on a ministry trip.

205
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.120
We were down in Lexington, Kentucky.

206
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.920
We lived in Columbus, Ohio at the time.

207
00:11:08.920 --> 00:11:13.720
And he was back in the office with the pastors.

208
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.120
And I was just standing in this church lobby

209
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.880
that I had never been to before by myself.

210
00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:20.040
No one else was there.

211
00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:21.520
Everyone else had already left.

212
00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:23.600
The church was empty, service was over.

213
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.520
My husband was back in the office

214
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:28.640
and I was just standing there by myself, okay?

215
00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:31.720
And then out of nowhere, a woman comes.

216
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.160
This blonde woman, about five, six,

217
00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:36.820
never seen her before, didn't see her during the service,

218
00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:39.360
kind of a bigger church, walks up to me

219
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.040
and just says, you're going to be on TV one day.

220
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.480
No introduction, no, hey, hi, how are you?

221
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.240
Nothing, just that.

222
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.520
And then she proceeds to invite me to come with her

223
00:11:52.520 --> 00:11:55.820
to a dinner the very next weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.

224
00:11:55.820 --> 00:11:58.440
Now remember, we're not in Nashville.

225
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.840
We're in Lexington, Kentucky, and I don't live there.

226
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.680
And I don't know if she lives there

227
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:05.740
because we didn't even have a conversation

228
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.960
about anything else.

229
00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:09.960
Comes up, doesn't introduce herself.

230
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.680
You're going to be on TV someday.

231
00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:14.320
Invites me to a dinner in Nashville.

232
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.560
David comes and then she gives me her information

233
00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:19.640
and then she goes on her merry way.

234
00:12:19.640 --> 00:12:21.000
David comes out of the office.

235
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.760
We start driving home from Lexington to Columbus.

236
00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:25.280
And I'm like, the weirdest thing happened

237
00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:26.400
when you were back in the office.

238
00:12:26.400 --> 00:12:27.640
And I told him about it.

239
00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:29.760
And we were just kind of talking about it.

240
00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:32.640
And it was just, I was like, oh, of course,

241
00:12:32.640 --> 00:12:33.560
I'm not going to go.

242
00:12:33.560 --> 00:12:34.580
This is so weird.

243
00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:36.940
What a weird thing to have happen.

244
00:12:36.940 --> 00:12:41.940
And then I remembered somebody in my life in Ohio

245
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.160
talking about some type of media dinner in Nashville.

246
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.980
And I was like, I wonder if this is the same thing

247
00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:52.600
that Melanie was talking about.

248
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.180
So I call my friend on the phone,

249
00:12:54.180 --> 00:12:56.780
on the way home from this event.

250
00:12:56.780 --> 00:12:59.180
And I say, hey, I said,

251
00:12:59.180 --> 00:13:02.700
are you going to a media dinner in Nashville?

252
00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:04.060
Like, is it called this?

253
00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:05.580
Is this what you're going to?

254
00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:07.060
And she's like, yeah.

255
00:13:07.060 --> 00:13:09.920
She's like, I'm actually a presenter at this media dinner

256
00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:13.040
because she had this big ministry to trafficked women.

257
00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:15.780
And she was going to be like speaking at this dinner.

258
00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:16.860
And I was like, oh my God.

259
00:13:16.860 --> 00:13:20.940
I was like, I just got invited to this by some random woman

260
00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:22.620
that I just met.

261
00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:23.780
And she said, well, girl, you should come.

262
00:13:23.780 --> 00:13:25.900
She said, you should come with me

263
00:13:25.900 --> 00:13:27.380
because we can ride together.

264
00:13:27.380 --> 00:13:31.860
And actually my friend that was supposed to go canceled.

265
00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:34.260
And now I have, you know, an empty hotel room

266
00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:36.300
that's non-refundable that you can just have

267
00:13:36.300 --> 00:13:37.760
if you want to come.

268
00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:38.600
All right.

269
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:39.820
So you guys, when stuff like this happens,

270
00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:43.580
we immediate early are like, wow, that's God, right?

271
00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:47.100
And we've all had these things where, you know,

272
00:13:47.100 --> 00:13:49.440
it's undeniably supernatural.

273
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.780
And so we're like, whoa, this is going to be big.

274
00:13:52.780 --> 00:13:53.960
This is going to be huge.

275
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:58.960
So you guys, I go from not thinking about television at all,

276
00:13:59.880 --> 00:14:01.180
at all, like literally at all,

277
00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:03.080
didn't even have a TV in my living room,

278
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.180
did not care about TV at all in my entire life,

279
00:14:06.180 --> 00:14:08.400
to, oh my God, I'm going to be on TV.

280
00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:09.920
God just confirmed this.

281
00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:12.160
He confirmed this and now I'm going to this media dinner.

282
00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.080
And so what am I doing?

283
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.640
I'm putting all the expectations on this media dinner, right?

284
00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:18.240
Because someone had a free ticket,

285
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.840
someone canceled and then there's a free hotel room now.

286
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.080
And so I walk in thinking, this is it, man.

287
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.200
I'm about to just go on TV like tomorrow.

288
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.680
I'm going to go to this media dinner

289
00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:31.960
and I'm going to go straight on a TV, am I?

290
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.400
I'm going to, this is God.

291
00:14:34.400 --> 00:14:37.640
So I'm expecting to like meet a producer at this dinner,

292
00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:39.540
meet a network executive at this dinner.

293
00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:40.380
I don't know.

294
00:14:40.380 --> 00:14:41.320
I don't know anything about TV.

295
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:42.920
You guys understand that, right?

296
00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:47.120
This story, I just know that something amazing

297
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.260
is about to happen.

298
00:14:48.260 --> 00:14:50.520
Well, you guys, I go to this media dinner

299
00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:54.880
and I don't meet anybody like that, nobody.

300
00:14:54.880 --> 00:14:58.240
But you know who I do meet and you know who I do click with

301
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.440
and you know who I start a relationship with?

302
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:09.160
after that night, the caterer, that's right, the girl that's setting up the tables and

303
00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:14.840
serving the food and decorating, the event manager, the caterer, yes, we hit it off.

304
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:16.040
We started talking.

305
00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:17.280
We liked each other a lot.

306
00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:20.640
In fact, I ended up helping her daughter get married.

307
00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:22.880
Her daughter is one of my success stories.

308
00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:24.880
So we become friends, you guys.

309
00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:26.040
We talk on the phone.

310
00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:27.240
We pray over each other.

311
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.840
We stay in touch.

312
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.440
But I'm thinking, you know, yeah, I met Amy.

313
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:33.440
That's great.

314
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.440
Now we're good friends.

315
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.320
But that had nothing to do with that word.

316
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.320
Nothing.

317
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.600
Anybody else ever live this?

318
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:40.600
Nothing.

319
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.000
Okay, so fast forward the tapes.

320
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.840
Six years later, you guys, six years later, my friend Amy that I met at that dinner that

321
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:55.280
night posts some weird posts on Facebook.

322
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.040
And so I call her and I'm just like, what's this post about?

323
00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:02.040
And she's like, Jackie, I do not know what God is doing.

324
00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:05.680
But he had me join this group for new agers.

325
00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:09.960
And remember, we're both like spirit filled Christians and all the things.

326
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:16.160
And she's like, he had me join this media group for these for new agers.

327
00:16:16.160 --> 00:16:17.480
She's like, it's the weirdest group.

328
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.520
She's like, you're not allowed to talk about God in it.

329
00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:24.880
It's all about law of attraction and transcendentalism and all this stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah.

330
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:26.480
And she's like, you should join it too.

331
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.600
And I'm like, I'm not joining that group.

332
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.600
And she's like, you should, you should join it.

333
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.360
She's like, you would really she's like, you would really be a hit in that group.

334
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.220
And I was like, thanks, thanks, but no thanks.

335
00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:45.080
So I go about my life and God speaks to me and he's like, I want you to join that group.

336
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:50.700
And I'm like, okay, so there's like 30 40,000 50,000 people in this group.

337
00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:55.660
And it's a video group where people just like drop in little encouraging videos.

338
00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:57.740
This is back in the day, you guys, it's a long time ago.

339
00:16:57.740 --> 00:17:02.500
This is like 2015.

340
00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:07.980
So I joined this group and I start making videos, you guys, and this is where I learned

341
00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:12.300
the skill to talk about God without talking about God.

342
00:17:12.300 --> 00:17:15.020
I used to have a show on Periscope called the wake up call with Jackie.

343
00:17:15.020 --> 00:17:19.940
And that is where I learned the skill to have that show where I talk about the things of

344
00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:21.859
God without talking about God.

345
00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:26.300
I talk about the content of scripture without saying it's from scripture, without giving

346
00:17:26.300 --> 00:17:27.619
chapter and verse to it.

347
00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:30.580
And I got really, really good at it in this group.

348
00:17:30.580 --> 00:17:35.420
And I got this huge following of people that were new agers that used to come and watch

349
00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:37.480
my show on Periscope.

350
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.480
And guess what?

351
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.580
All of those people were my very first heartwork students back in 2015.

352
00:17:42.580 --> 00:17:47.460
And all of them ended up coming to Jesus.

353
00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.460
Every one of them.

354
00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:51.340
You're like, well, how did that happen, Jackie, because you weren't talking about Jesus.

355
00:17:51.340 --> 00:17:52.340
Uh-huh.

356
00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:55.260
I was, but I just wasn't saying Jesus.

357
00:17:55.260 --> 00:17:58.280
Just so you know, the word, the truth is powerful.

358
00:17:58.280 --> 00:18:04.580
You don't have to defend it by slapping a Mark 16 two on it.

359
00:18:04.580 --> 00:18:07.780
And so Jesus started appearing to these people in their dreams.

360
00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:09.300
That's what started happening.

361
00:18:09.300 --> 00:18:11.220
They started having visions of Jesus.

362
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:13.220
They started having dreams about Jesus.

363
00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.420
And then they started asking me about Jesus.

364
00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:18.540
And then I started proselytizing them, discipling them.

365
00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:19.580
And that's what happened.

366
00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:21.660
Every one of them came to Jesus.

367
00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:31.700
People that had witch in their bio, sorceress, psychic, those are the type of people that

368
00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:34.740
were in my heart workshop the very first round.

369
00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.740
And so that happened.

370
00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:40.820
But you guys, that wasn't all that happened.

371
00:18:40.820 --> 00:18:43.940
A few years later, we moved to Austin.

372
00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:45.460
I'll tell you a different story about that.

373
00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:48.460
But a few years later, we moved to Austin, we moved to Austin in 2018.

374
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:50.620
So three years later, we moved to Austin.

375
00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:56.500
And the people that own this group that started this group that I'm talking about, they are

376
00:18:56.500 --> 00:19:01.180
huge influencers in that like the new age kind of movement.

377
00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:08.180
In fact, they had like 30 million followers on social media, like top 0.1% of social media

378
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:11.740
influencers was this couple that own this group.

379
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.740
And guess where they live.

380
00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.740
They lived in Austin.

381
00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:19.740
And when they found out that one of the people that makes great videos in their group that

382
00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:25.220
they love, and they shared my videos all the time, they invited my husband and I to come

383
00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:27.220
to their home.

384
00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:29.900
So we went to their home twice.

385
00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:35.860
And both times David felt led to ask the woman, the wife, if he could pray for her, like lay

386
00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:38.060
hands on her and pray for her.

387
00:19:38.060 --> 00:19:40.180
And both times she allowed him to do it.

388
00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:42.420
And I was just like, okay, something weird's happened.

389
00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:43.420
I don't know what.

390
00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:48.820
Now, fast forward three more years, you guys, my mom passes away, COVID happens.

391
00:19:48.820 --> 00:19:49.860
We never see them again.

392
00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:51.780
They never invite us back over to their house.

393
00:19:51.780 --> 00:19:54.500
It's just, you know, we all lose touch of each other.

394
00:19:54.500 --> 00:20:00.580
And then I get a message on Facebook saying that, hey, I'm this.

395
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:07.520
woman's sister, you know, that woman, the influencer, I'm her sister and she needs help

396
00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:09.400
and she asked me to reach out to you.

397
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.360
And I was just like, what is this a prank?

398
00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:12.960
What's going on right now?

399
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.460
And she's like, listen, she's like, please, if you still live in Austin, will you meet

400
00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:19.880
my sister at such and such a place?

401
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:21.320
So I show up and guess what?

402
00:20:21.320 --> 00:20:23.980
It's her, it's the wife, it's the influencer.

403
00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.900
And I'm like, okay, what's going on?

404
00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:28.300
She starts to tell me what's happening.

405
00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:31.320
And I immediately get a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit.

406
00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:36.300
And I know that her husband has had a schizophrenic break.

407
00:20:36.300 --> 00:20:41.320
Now she thinks that her husband and her are running from the feds, that they got in trouble

408
00:20:41.320 --> 00:20:46.300
because of their taxes or yada, yada, or all these stories that he's been telling her.

409
00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:47.420
And they're hiding out.

410
00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:49.260
These are very, very wealthy people.

411
00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:56.960
They're hiding out in a hotel room from, you know, all these people that are after them.

412
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.980
And she's scared out of her mind.

413
00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:01.440
She's not eating, she's not sleeping.

414
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:06.900
And so I don't say anything to her right then because I don't feel led to, but I make her

415
00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:09.180
promise to meet me again.

416
00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:12.780
And the second time that she meets me, I said, look, I need to tell you something.

417
00:21:12.780 --> 00:21:18.620
And then I proceed to tell her that her husband has schizophrenia.

418
00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:19.620
How do I know that?

419
00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:22.940
Because my brother has schizophrenia and my father has schizophrenia and I know what schizophrenia

420
00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:23.940
looks like.

421
00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:27.300
And I proceed to tell her and she doesn't want to receive it.

422
00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:28.460
She doesn't want to believe it.

423
00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:32.460
But then I lay hands on her and I pray for her and I pray that she'll be able to see

424
00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:35.260
what she needs to see when she goes back to the hotel room.

425
00:21:35.260 --> 00:21:39.020
And she goes back to the hotel room and she sees that she's not actually running from

426
00:21:39.020 --> 00:21:43.860
the feds, but she's actually being held hostage in a hotel room by her husband.

427
00:21:43.860 --> 00:21:47.260
And so we have to get the police involved to remove her.

428
00:21:47.300 --> 00:21:50.500
And then she lives with David and I for the next four months.

429
00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:55.580
You guys, where did this story come from?

430
00:21:55.580 --> 00:22:03.580
This story came from me going to a dinner in Nashville because some random woman, and

431
00:22:03.580 --> 00:22:06.900
by the way, that random woman that came up to me in that church lobby, she didn't even

432
00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:07.900
come to that dinner.

433
00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.420
I never saw that woman again.

434
00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:11.420
For all I know, she's not even a real person.

435
00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:14.420
I don't even know.

436
00:22:17.420 --> 00:22:18.860
But that's not all, you guys.

437
00:22:18.860 --> 00:22:23.780
So when this influencer lives with us for four months, we find out all about her.

438
00:22:23.780 --> 00:22:28.340
And what we find out about her is that she was one of the main producers on the show

439
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:32.980
The Bachelor and she's a TV producer and she's worked in TV for the last 20 years.

440
00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:40.900
And so she is the person that actually gets me my first TV developmental contract, meaning

441
00:22:40.900 --> 00:22:46.700
they want to develop a show around me, a reality TV show about dating.

442
00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:48.060
And that's still in the works.

443
00:22:48.060 --> 00:22:50.060
And so you guys, hello?

444
00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:54.060
Do you see it?

445
00:22:54.060 --> 00:22:55.060
Do you see the dots?

446
00:22:56.060 --> 00:22:58.580
A lot of times we miss dots because they don't look like destiny.

447
00:22:58.580 --> 00:23:02.060
We miss dots because they're random and we think that they don't mean anything.

448
00:23:04.060 --> 00:23:08.060
If I wouldn't have gone to that dinner, then I wouldn't have met Amy.

449
00:23:08.060 --> 00:23:12.060
And if I wouldn't have met Amy, then I wouldn't have ended up joining that Facebook group.

450
00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:16.060
And if I didn't join that Facebook group, then I wouldn't have launched The Heart Workshop.

451
00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:22.020
And if I wouldn't have done that, then I wouldn't have, you know, gone to, well, a whole bunch

452
00:23:22.020 --> 00:23:25.540
of things happened there, but I wouldn't have done the next five things that I did that

453
00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:31.260
led me to move to Austin, that led me to meet Jenny and Bryant, that led Jenny to ask us

454
00:23:31.260 --> 00:23:35.660
for help, that led her to live with us, that led to now.

455
00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:39.500
And she's also a really dear and close friend, like a sister to me.

456
00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:45.020
So I want you to write this down, your first activation.

457
00:23:45.060 --> 00:23:51.860
I want you to pray and think of one moment in your life that didn't make sense at the

458
00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:53.460
time or still doesn't make sense.

459
00:23:56.780 --> 00:23:57.300
Go ahead.

460
00:24:15.020 --> 00:24:26.020
I want you guys to know that God told me He's connecting dots in this season.

461
00:24:26.020 --> 00:24:29.020
He said nothing will be wasted.

462
00:24:29.020 --> 00:24:31.540
Nothing's going to be wasted, you guys.

463
00:24:31.540 --> 00:24:34.260
We all have really random things in our lives.

464
00:24:34.260 --> 00:24:36.060
Why did I take that course?

465
00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:37.260
Why did I go to that class?

466
00:24:37.260 --> 00:24:40.620
Why did I, why did I get that degree and that certification?

467
00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:43.420
I never even did anything with it.

468
00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:44.420
Why did I move here?

469
00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:45.420
Why did I do this?

470
00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:46.420
Why did I do that?

471
00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:48.420
So many of those things.

472
00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:54.420
All right.

473
00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:57.420
You guys got that written down?

474
00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.420
All right.

475
00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:59.420
All right.

476
00:24:59.420 --> 00:25:00.020
Next story.

477
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.760
We're going to go quickly through this story.

478
00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:06.160
A lot of you have heard it before, but it's important because it's a bunch of dots.

479
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:10.280
So you guys, I was going through a divorce and, you know, it was really bad.

480
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:19.240
I was at the tail end of my marriage and my friend invited me to an event at her church.

481
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:20.900
My church was in turmoil.

482
00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:22.480
My pastor was going to prison.

483
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.760
I was just in a really bad place.

484
00:25:24.760 --> 00:25:28.660
And she invited me to an event at her church and I went.

485
00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:31.360
I didn't really want to go, but I really liked this friend.

486
00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:34.820
So I went to this event and I told myself before I got there that I was only going to

487
00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:37.620
stay for 45 minutes.

488
00:25:37.620 --> 00:25:42.980
This was a mega church and they had this big outdoor picnic called picnic with the pastor.

489
00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:47.020
And they had this giant jumbotron, the kind that you see at the Superbowl.

490
00:25:47.020 --> 00:25:49.300
That's what they had set up on their church property.

491
00:25:49.300 --> 00:25:53.060
That's the kind of event, really mega church kind of stuff.

492
00:25:53.060 --> 00:25:58.460
So I get there and, you know, she's introducing me to people and I ate some food and whatever,

493
00:25:59.260 --> 00:26:01.900
and then they start showing videos on this jumbotron.

494
00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:06.900
And the videos are like prank videos that they have done of their staff members.

495
00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:11.060
So they prank their staff members kind of like punk style from MTV.

496
00:26:11.060 --> 00:26:15.100
You know, if you have ever seen that show and they're really funny videos, they're really

497
00:26:15.100 --> 00:26:16.100
well made.

498
00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:17.100
This is a TV church.

499
00:26:17.100 --> 00:26:19.060
This is a church that's on television.

500
00:26:19.060 --> 00:26:22.640
So they have a great media department and they were funny videos.

501
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.240
And now, but my 45 minutes is up and I'm really going to leave.

502
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.760
And so as I'm going to leave, there's one video that's playing that I just kind of stop

503
00:26:30.760 --> 00:26:34.040
in my tracks and watch and it was really funny.

504
00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:38.360
And the guy that was being pranked in the video seemed really familiar to me.

505
00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:41.740
And so I asked my friend, I said, Hey, did you know, do you know that guy?

506
00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:43.960
And she's like, yeah, she grew up at this church.

507
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:45.160
She grew up in the youth group.

508
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.360
She'd been at this church all her life.

509
00:26:47.360 --> 00:26:49.160
And I said, who is that guy?

510
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:50.560
She said, that's our youth pastor.

511
00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:54.480
And I said, do you know if he grew up in Cleveland?

512
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:57.560
Now this is in Columbus, Ohio, that this is happening.

513
00:26:57.560 --> 00:26:59.840
And she's like, no, she's like, I'm pretty sure he's from here.

514
00:26:59.840 --> 00:27:03.800
And I'm like, that's so weird because I could have, I really could swear that I went to

515
00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:07.800
school with him, you know, and I just couldn't place him.

516
00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:11.760
I just, I knew I knew him, but I just didn't know why.

517
00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:15.760
And then I go on my merry way and I think about it for a few more minutes.

518
00:27:15.760 --> 00:27:19.440
You guys, you've all done it like, man, where do I know that person from?

519
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:21.240
And then I just forget about it.

520
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:25.440
And then my life is whatever, done, done with that.

521
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:31.480
Two years later, two years later, you guys, I'm looking for a place to live.

522
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.480
I'm a single mom.

523
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.720
I can't afford much.

524
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:38.760
If I'm just being fully honest, I have terrible credit from my divorce because nothing was

525
00:27:38.760 --> 00:27:42.480
in my name and just bad, just a bad situation that I'm in.

526
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:48.160
And I find these townhomes and honestly, there are way more than I can afford, but the guy

527
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.480
is willing to give me a shot to live there.

528
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:53.000
And you know, if you have bad credit, it's really hard to rent.

529
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.160
And so he, they're, they're brand new builds.

530
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:58.200
They're new build townhomes in a great area.

531
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.360
And I'm like, okay, I'll go ahead and I'm going to stretch God.

532
00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:03.000
I'm just going to trust you.

533
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:08.640
And so I rent one of the townhomes and I lived there for an entire year, you guys, an entire

534
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:14.120
year, just making it, just scraping by, just making it, working at the, working in insurance,

535
00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:18.040
working at nighttime at a pizza place, just making it.

536
00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:19.240
Okay.

537
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.400
And then my lease is up.

538
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:23.400
And I'm like, you know what?

539
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.400
I'm just not going to do this.

540
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:25.760
I'm going to find something cheaper.

541
00:28:25.760 --> 00:28:27.320
Now my credit's better.

542
00:28:27.320 --> 00:28:28.320
I have a regular paycheck.

543
00:28:28.320 --> 00:28:30.520
I'm just going to find something cheaper.

544
00:28:30.520 --> 00:28:35.800
And I feel God say to me, don't do that.

545
00:28:35.800 --> 00:28:38.120
Stay here.

546
00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:42.000
And I was like, ugh, because you know, it'd be easier just to find something cheaper,

547
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.000
wouldn't it?

548
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.400
It doesn't seem logical to stay.

549
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.880
There's no logical reason to stay because it's too expensive.

550
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.880
But I do.

551
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.880
I stay.

552
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:57.460
And shortly after, a new neighbor moves in next door, a divorced dad with two kids.

553
00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:59.200
And of course, you guys know the story.

554
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:00.200
That's David Dorman.

555
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:01.960
And now we've been married for 20 years.

556
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:03.560
But you know who else it was?

557
00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:09.800
The guy from the video at the party.

558
00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:18.560
He not only is my husband now, but he also was the man that I thought I knew playing

559
00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:24.400
on that video that day.

560
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:26.040
Come on, y'all.

561
00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:27.160
I don't care who you are.

562
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:29.680
That's crazy.

563
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:34.600
That's crazy talk, right?

564
00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:36.640
You guys, we have three types of dots usually.

565
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.080
We have obedient dots.

566
00:29:38.080 --> 00:29:42.280
These are the dots where you did something because God told you to, like staying in that

567
00:29:42.280 --> 00:29:44.860
townhouse, even when it didn't make sense.

568
00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:46.320
You were obedient.

569
00:29:46.320 --> 00:29:47.320
You moved.

570
00:29:47.320 --> 00:29:48.320
You started something.

571
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:49.320
You ended something.

572
00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:52.920
You did something because God told you to, even though your human intellect was like,

573
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.360
I don't know about this.

574
00:29:55.360 --> 00:29:56.980
And then we have painful dots.

575
00:29:56.980 --> 00:30:00.040
We have things that hurt us, things that happened to us, betrayals, disappearances.

576
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.560
appointments. These are little landmarks.

577
00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:05.080
These are little dots in our lives that don't make any sense.

578
00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:07.320
We don't even know why we went through that thing.

579
00:30:07.560 --> 00:30:09.240
We have confusing dots.

580
00:30:09.260 --> 00:30:13.200
Those are kind of a mix of both of the other kinds where things that are just

581
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.640
random, they seem pointless at the time.

582
00:30:16.600 --> 00:30:18.800
Skills that we pick up, you know,

583
00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:22.600
certifications that we get seasons that seem to go nowhere.

584
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:27.240
Jobs that we leave because we feel like we're supposed to leave and then there's

585
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:28.960
no new job waiting for us.

586
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.040
Anyone quit a job because you feel like you're supposed to and then you can't

587
00:30:32.040 --> 00:30:36.400
find another one. Like, uh, we've all been in these crazy places.

588
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.160
I want you guys to think about that stuff right now.

589
00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:47.320
All right. We're going to continue on with a couple more stories. Wait,

590
00:30:47.320 --> 00:30:49.480
I'm going to give you an activation though. Hold on a sec.

591
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:50.320
Okay.

592
00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:01.920
Where's the activation that I want for this?

593
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.520
All right, here's the activation. Where in your life,

594
00:31:12.760 --> 00:31:15.440
whatever is the first thing that comes, you guys don't dig around.

595
00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:20.320
Did logic say one thing, but you felt led to do something else.

596
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.600
You just did something. You have that, that confusing dot,

597
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.720
where that obedient dot,

598
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:32.640
and maybe you already know how it connects.

599
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.200
Maybe you already have gotten past the confusing part of it. Uh,

600
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.720
but write it down anyway. But for those of you that, Hey,

601
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.320
this is still just a random thing. I felt like God told me to do this.

602
00:31:42.360 --> 00:31:44.440
You might even still be in the middle of it right now,

603
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.720
but it just doesn't make any sense. And nothing good has come of it so far.

604
00:31:50.800 --> 00:31:54.280
You're going against human reasoning and just doing something.

605
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.200
For some of you, it might've been joined in this community.

606
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.640
Where in your life did logic say one thing,

607
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.040
but you felt led to do something else and you did it.

608
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:20.400
Someone asked me to repeat it.

609
00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:27.960
That's that obedient dot. God told me to stay in that townhouse.

610
00:32:30.360 --> 00:32:33.560
Didn't make any sense. I think it was like something crazy,

611
00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:37.440
like $1,500 a month. This is a long time ago. You guys,

612
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.520
it was already that expensive that long time ago.

613
00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:43.760
That was a lot for a single mom.

614
00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:55.720
If you ever wonder why I keep this program so cost effective and so cheap when

615
00:32:55.760 --> 00:32:58.480
other people charge thousands of dollars,

616
00:32:58.520 --> 00:33:01.560
they don't deliver what we have here and they don't have the type of success

617
00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:04.200
stories we do. It's because of that reason.

618
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:07.800
I was a single mom and I get, I get fixed income.

619
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:13.200
I get limited resources. I get it. Okay. All right.

620
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.840
Guys got those dots down. Let's go on. Let's go on to another dot story.

621
00:33:19.040 --> 00:33:22.240
So you guys, David and I both started our lives in California.

622
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:26.160
I don't know if you know that about us. My mom grew up in California.

623
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:31.160
She went to school in Torrance and she raised us in the like Newport,

624
00:33:31.280 --> 00:33:34.840
Long Beach, Huntington beach area. Okay.

625
00:33:34.840 --> 00:33:38.160
But then she went through a divorce with my dad and she ended up moving to

626
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:39.040
Cleveland, Ohio.

627
00:33:39.800 --> 00:33:43.760
So I started my life in California in the OC and David started his life in

628
00:33:43.760 --> 00:33:45.800
Fairfield, California on the air force base.

629
00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:50.400
So that's Northern California, like near Sacramento, Vacaville area.

630
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.520
So when we got together and got married,

631
00:33:53.520 --> 00:33:57.520
we both love California and we said when our kids graduate,

632
00:33:57.520 --> 00:34:00.760
because remember we're divorced people, so we have shared parenting agreements.

633
00:34:00.760 --> 00:34:03.440
We can't just move, can't just do whatever we want.

634
00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:07.720
But when the kids graduate and our shared parenting agreements end,

635
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.960
we said we would move to California our entire married life.

636
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:13.760
We said that we would move to California.

637
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.719
So finally the youngest is about to graduate. She's a junior.

638
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:21.639
She's going to graduate the next year. So we go and visit California,

639
00:34:22.080 --> 00:34:24.679
expecting the red carpet to be rolled out,

640
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:28.840
expecting to really feel connected to it, expecting to, you know,

641
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.400
start making a plan and expecting it to feel like home. And guess what?

642
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:36.120
It didn't. We felt no connection. We felt no peace.

643
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.159
So we go back to Ohio after that fact finding mission.

644
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.080
And I'm pretty depressed about it because this has been the plan from the very

645
00:34:44.080 --> 00:34:46.440
beginning. Anyone else make a plan?

646
00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:49.280
And then when you go to kind of execute the plan, you're like, man,

647
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:54.360
this doesn't feel right. This just doesn't, this is not it.

648
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.920
So I start praying and God speaks to me and says,

649
00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:59.960
you're going to move to Texas. You're going to move to

650
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.880
Austin, Texas.

651
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.680
And I was like, what?

652
00:35:03.680 --> 00:35:07.600
First of all, you guys, we don't have any connection to Texas and neither one of us

653
00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:09.540
had ever been to Austin.

654
00:35:09.540 --> 00:35:13.800
And so I'm really kind of hesitant to even say anything to David.

655
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:18.440
But finally, I'm like, hey, babe, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I feel like God

656
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:21.560
said we're not going to go to California because we're going to go to Austin, Texas.

657
00:35:21.560 --> 00:35:26.000
And he's like, babe, God told me the exact same thing.

658
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.840
So now we're cooking with fire, right?

659
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.280
So it's like, OK, that's crazy.

660
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.100
Let's wrap our minds and hearts around that for a little while.

661
00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:35.440
So we did.

662
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.600
And we went to Austin and we visited.

663
00:35:37.600 --> 00:35:38.600
And guess what?

664
00:35:38.600 --> 00:35:39.600
It felt familiar.

665
00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:40.600
It felt right.

666
00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:44.120
And we knew that it was true that we were going to move to Austin.

667
00:35:44.120 --> 00:35:48.880
But then something in me sparked and I was like, I feel like I've heard this before.

668
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:50.160
I'm having deja vu.

669
00:35:50.160 --> 00:35:56.120
You guys, if you feel like you're having deja vu, I want you to stop and I want you to

670
00:35:56.120 --> 00:36:00.360
take a minute and I want you to write down what feels familiar.

671
00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:06.560
And I also want you to take note of where you are, you know, what's the scenario like

672
00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:10.520
if you have deja vu at a coffee shop when you're talking to your friend, Melanie, write

673
00:36:10.520 --> 00:36:12.200
all that down. I'm at a coffee shop.

674
00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:14.960
I'm with Melanie, you know, write it down, because.

675
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:22.000
Many times, not always, but many times the feeling of deja vu, please hear me, the

676
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.840
feeling of deja vu is convergence.

677
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:31.520
It means that you're actually getting into alignment with something that God has

678
00:36:31.520 --> 00:36:32.800
spoken over you.

679
00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:35.720
A lot of times that's what deja vu is.

680
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.840
Deja vu is you coming into a season of convergence.

681
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:40.760
And so you need to be paying attention to that.

682
00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:45.600
So I started having deja vu and I'm like, man, I feel like I've been here before, like

683
00:36:45.600 --> 00:36:47.160
I've heard this before.

684
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:52.920
And then God reminds me that years prior, you guys know how I always say that I help

685
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:54.200
15 of my friends get married.

686
00:36:55.040 --> 00:36:59.040
Before I ever started marrying 12 months or less, like I've always been the matchmaker.

687
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:04.880
Well, one of those friends, when I helped her to, you know, to upgrade her love life,

688
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:09.360
to meet someone, when I helped her meet this guy, it required her to move.

689
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.840
And I went over her house and helped her pack.

690
00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:19.760
And while I was helping her pack, she said to me, this was years before you guys, she

691
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:25.520
said to me, cause she was moving to Austin, Texas and I'd forgotten about it completely.

692
00:37:25.560 --> 00:37:30.680
And she said to me when I was helping her move, loading up her U-Haul, she said, Hey

693
00:37:30.680 --> 00:37:35.040
Jackie, I just want you to know that, you know, someday you're going to move to Austin,

694
00:37:35.040 --> 00:37:35.840
Texas too.

695
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:39.600
One little seed, you guys.

696
00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:42.480
And I, and I, and I remember just totally laughing about it.

697
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:43.720
Like, yeah, sure.

698
00:37:44.600 --> 00:37:45.920
I'll see you in Texas, honey.

699
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.080
I know you're going to miss me.

700
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:48.560
You know, kind of thing.

701
00:37:49.120 --> 00:37:55.080
Because when I tell you Texas was not on my radar, it was on my radar at all, at all.

702
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:02.400
So I called her up and I said, Hey Annie, do you remember telling me that I was going

703
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:04.000
to move to Austin someday?

704
00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:06.320
This is over a decade later, you guys.

705
00:38:06.720 --> 00:38:08.920
And she said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

706
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.600
I remember.

707
00:38:09.600 --> 00:38:11.080
And I said, why did you say that?

708
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:13.760
And she said, Oh, I didn't say it.

709
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.000
She said, Jeff said it.

710
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:20.320
So Jeff was the guy that she was moving from Ohio to Texas to be in relationship with.

711
00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:25.680
So you guys, God spoke my future through someone who wasn't even talking to me.

712
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:28.840
And I forgot the word, but God didn't.

713
00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:31.840
So here's your third activation.

714
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:38.120
What is something that has been spoken over you that maybe you've just disregarded?

715
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:41.160
You've just blown off as just, Oh, that's silly.

716
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:43.000
That's dumb.

717
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:48.040
And if you can't think of something like that, then write down something that someone else

718
00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:51.840
spoke over you that has not happened yet.

719
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.520
Okay.

720
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.440
I'm going to go on to the third story while you guys are working on that or the fourth

721
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.120
story, because we want to make sure we end with enough time to activate at the end.

722
00:39:50.120 --> 00:39:50.640
Okay.

723
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:54.000
So as we're packing to move to Austin.

724
00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:57.240
Hey, Austin, Austin, Austin.

725
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.400
If you live by the conditions that you're in.

726
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.080
Well, it wasn't really as we were packing, it was before we moved.

727
00:40:01.560 --> 00:40:02.760
Hey, Austin, Austin.

728
00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:09.640
So after God told us we were going to move to Austin, I obviously started praying into

729
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.840
Hey, Austin, I can't hear you.

730
00:40:09.640 --> 00:40:14.120
why, because from the time God told us we were going to move to Austin and we actually

731
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:19.480
Hey, Austin, Austin, I'm trying to reach out and talk to you.

732
00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:20.560
moved to Austin, it was about ten months later.

733
00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:24.160
And so I started to pray, God, you know, why, why, why, why are we moving to Austin?

734
00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:25.160
What's going on?

735
00:40:25.160 --> 00:40:26.880
Why do you want us to move there?

736
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:32.000
And he starts to talk to us about a youth movement.

737
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.240
Now you guys, I'm not involved in youth at the time.

738
00:40:34.240 --> 00:40:39.640
My kids are all like late high school, college age, both of my, but my, my oldest and my

739
00:40:39.640 --> 00:40:45.880
middle child are in college and my youngest daughter is a senior in high school.

740
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.160
And yeah, we've always loved their friends and we've always had gatherings at our house

741
00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:50.160
and all the things.

742
00:40:50.160 --> 00:40:53.520
But as far as like being involved with like youth ministry, that's not something that

743
00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:55.880
we've ever really done or wanted to do.

744
00:40:55.880 --> 00:40:56.880
Okay.

745
00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:00.800
I mean, yeah, David was a youth pastor at Omega Church, but that was many, many, many,

746
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.160
many moons ago.

747
00:41:02.160 --> 00:41:03.240
Okay.

748
00:41:03.240 --> 00:41:06.160
So God starts to talk to me about this space, you guys.

749
00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:10.880
He shows me this space, this building.

750
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:14.520
He said, you're gonna, you're gonna get a building in Austin and this is what it's going

751
00:41:14.520 --> 00:41:15.520
to look like.

752
00:41:15.520 --> 00:41:20.800
It's going to have two huge garage doors, like a warehouse, it's going to have a real

753
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:27.680
industrial feel and it's going to be right next to a train track, right?

754
00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:31.440
In fact, in my mind, I kept calling this, this building the depot because it was right

755
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:33.200
next to a train track.

756
00:41:33.200 --> 00:41:35.720
And he said, and it's going to be on the West side of Austin.

757
00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:40.080
Now you guys, I didn't live in Austin yet, so I didn't understand that there is a distinct

758
00:41:40.080 --> 00:41:45.300
West and East side of Austin based on a freeway called 35.

759
00:41:45.300 --> 00:41:48.680
And everyone talks about either the West side or the East side.

760
00:41:48.680 --> 00:41:53.480
And I know that all cities have that, but this city is very, very specific about, hey,

761
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:57.280
you're either a West sider or you're an East sider, you know what I'm saying?

762
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:58.280
All right.

763
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:02.800
And so when God was giving me these, these, this depiction of this building, I didn't

764
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:10.880
even know that yet, but he said specifically, go West, it's on the West side.

765
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.720
And so when we moved to Austin, first of all, we don't even have money to rent a building.

766
00:42:15.720 --> 00:42:19.000
We don't even want to start a youth movement, but we are obedient.

767
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:23.080
When we moved to Austin, we don't really, we don't know why we're here.

768
00:42:23.080 --> 00:42:27.120
So we just start searching for this building because we don't know why else we would be

769
00:42:27.120 --> 00:42:28.400
here.

770
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.960
So we searched for the building, months go by, we're still searching.

771
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:33.680
We're always looking.

772
00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:36.760
When we first moved here, we searched every day for the building.

773
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:41.560
And then, you know, then we kind of gave up, started just getting acclimated to living

774
00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:42.560
here.

775
00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:49.160
And let me tell you, one of the things that happened by moving to Austin is that our oldest

776
00:42:49.160 --> 00:42:56.080
child, our son, and our youngest daughter both met their spouses here.

777
00:42:56.080 --> 00:43:00.520
So Jaron's about to get married at the end of May to his, to his fiance.

778
00:43:00.520 --> 00:43:02.040
He met her here.

779
00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:07.400
And then our daughter, about a year into living here, she met the guy who's now her husband.

780
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.760
They've been married for almost two years.

781
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:10.760
Okay.

782
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:11.760
Trevor.

783
00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.680
And so we stopped looking.

784
00:43:14.680 --> 00:43:16.320
We forget about this building.

785
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.520
We forget about the words, you guys, we've lived here for eight years now.

786
00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:20.520
Okay.

787
00:43:20.520 --> 00:43:23.000
So we forget about this probably about three or four years in.

788
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.480
We just totally forget about this.

789
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:31.240
Our kids meet their spouses, Reagan specifically, you know, she gets married and she tells her

790
00:43:31.240 --> 00:43:33.960
husband the story about us moving here.

791
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:37.920
She tells her husband, Trevor, the story about the building and about the vision and about

792
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:39.160
what it looks like.

793
00:43:39.160 --> 00:43:40.160
And so guess what?

794
00:43:40.160 --> 00:43:42.840
My son-in-law Trevor starts looking for this building.

795
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:44.400
I don't know he's doing that.

796
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:45.680
He's just doing it.

797
00:43:45.680 --> 00:43:51.200
And he finds it the exact building, the garage doors, the train tracks, the West side, all

798
00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:52.200
of it.

799
00:43:52.200 --> 00:43:54.920
I get a text message saying, Hey mom, we found the building.

800
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:55.920
What, what building?

801
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.520
The building that God told you about, we found it.

802
00:44:00.520 --> 00:44:02.240
And I was like, okay.

803
00:44:02.240 --> 00:44:07.320
So David and I drive over and we're like, oh my God, they found it.

804
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.680
We walk in, we feel, we feel the Holy Spirit.

805
00:44:10.680 --> 00:44:12.560
We know we're supposed to lease this building.

806
00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:16.120
Now when we first moved there, we wouldn't have been able to lease it, but now we can

807
00:44:16.120 --> 00:44:18.240
because we have a company, we have a business.

808
00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:22.200
I know you guys know we have last year's single, but we also have a media business and we leased

809
00:44:22.200 --> 00:44:23.200
this building.

810
00:44:23.200 --> 00:44:24.720
Our business leases this building.

811
00:44:24.720 --> 00:44:28.480
We start building podcast studios in it and all different types of things.

812
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.680
And you know who ends up taking over this building?

813
00:44:30.680 --> 00:44:35.440
Our children, my son-in-law and my daughter end up taking over this building.

814
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:36.440
They're running it.

815
00:44:36.560 --> 00:44:37.560
They're running out of it.

816
00:44:37.560 --> 00:44:42.880
A youth movement, a coworking movement for college students, for creatives, film, fashion,

817
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:43.880
art, music, media.

818
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:46.040
They have a coffee shop on the weekends.

819
00:44:46.040 --> 00:44:47.520
They have young entrepreneurs.

820
00:44:47.520 --> 00:44:49.240
They have maker's markets.

821
00:44:49.240 --> 00:44:54.480
They have, um, they have a prayer house, a prayer coffee house that's starting now three

822
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.920
days a week.

823
00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.280
You guys know that we signed the lease for that building.

824
00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.960
We've been in that building.

825
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.920
over a year now. But we signed the lease to that building seven years to the day that we moved to

826
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:11.040
Austin. It was the very day that we stepped foot in Austin that we signed that lease seven years

827
00:45:11.040 --> 00:45:20.160
later. The delay wasn't denial. It was just development, wasn't it? We weren't the people

828
00:45:20.160 --> 00:45:24.000
that were going to, the reason why we didn't feel like we were going to start a youth movement is

829
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:31.040
because it wasn't us that was going to start it. Do you guys see that? Now look at these,

830
00:45:31.040 --> 00:45:35.920
you guys, look at these full connection dot moments. In one of these stories, God was

831
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:41.760
hiding my connection in a caterer. I could have very easily had an arrogant attitude and just

832
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:46.160
been like, oh, I only want to meet a TV person and just not paid attention to anybody else.

833
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:53.680
But if you guys know me, you know, I'm not like that. So he hid, he hid the next step in a caterer,

834
00:45:53.680 --> 00:46:01.600
right? And the other story, he showed me my husband on a screen before I ever met him.

835
00:46:02.160 --> 00:46:08.000
He convinced me to stay in a really expensive townhouse in order to end up being his neighbor.

836
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.520
And the other story, he's speaking my future, parts of my future through someone who's not

837
00:46:13.520 --> 00:46:21.760
even talking to me. And then this one, you know, he gave me details, very specific details that he

838
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:28.320
fulfilled seven years later through someone else and for someone else. Look at that, you guys,

839
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:34.800
we're not living random lives. You are living inside a divinely orchestrated story where every

840
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:40.640
detail matters to God. I know that you feel random. I know that your life may feel random.

841
00:46:40.640 --> 00:46:45.920
I know that you may feel like God is not paying attention to details, but this God has numbered

842
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:51.840
every hair on your head. He has knit you together in your mother's womb fearfully and wonderfully

843
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:57.200
and says he laid out every day of your life in a book that's all about you before you were even born.

844
00:46:59.040 --> 00:46:59.520
Come on.

845
00:47:03.040 --> 00:47:06.720
So you guys write down some things right now. If you got some random dots,

846
00:47:06.720 --> 00:47:11.840
moments that just feel random out of place, they don't make sense. Write those things down.

847
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:19.120
We're going to steward these dots y'all because God said I'm connecting dots in this season.

848
00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:20.960
So we're going to start stewarding these dots.

849
00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:27.760
Random dots, things that feel out of place, feel random. You still don't even know what's going on.

850
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:36.080
You went to college for something that you actually never did as a career. A random dot.

851
00:47:44.080 --> 00:47:47.120
Maybe like me, you move somewhere and you still don't even know why you're there.

852
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:54.400
So those are other things you can write down. Write down some things that you feel out of place.

853
00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:58.480
Those are other things you can write down. Write down some things that you felt led to

854
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:02.720
do that didn't make sense and maybe they still don't make sense.

855
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:11.440
Yes, Timber, it is a treasure map.

856
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.200
The thing that you need to understand though is that you're the treasure.

857
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:29.200
Write down anywhere where you've been working on something that feels delayed.

858
00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:32.240
Just can't find the pieces to it.

859
00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:42.480
God said in this season I'm connecting the dots and nothing is going to be wasted you guys.

860
00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:50.080
Nothing is going to be wasted. He reminds me of the Indians and the buffalo. I remember learning

861
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:55.200
about how they used every part of the buffalo, every part. They didn't waste anything. They used

862
00:48:55.200 --> 00:49:02.080
everything. They killed that animal. They did not waste it. They didn't just leave it there to rot,

863
00:49:02.080 --> 00:49:06.480
take what they wanted. They used everything, didn't they? Remember the stories of the Indians

864
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:11.920
and the buffalo? They used the hide. They used the bones. They used the sinews and the muscles.

865
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.880
They used the meat, obviously. They used everything.

866
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:15.840
Nothing was wasted.

867
00:49:19.120 --> 00:49:23.680
You guys, God, He's not a wasteful God. He's a very intentional God.

868
00:49:25.040 --> 00:49:28.800
So even mistakes that you've made won't be wasted. Remember Romans 8, 28,

869
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:33.120
I'm working all things to the good of those that love me. All things mean all things.

870
00:49:34.240 --> 00:49:36.480
Nothing is wasted. Even your mistakes aren't wasted.

871
00:49:37.600 --> 00:49:41.520
So that means that the relationship that you have with God is not going to be wasted.

872
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.360
So that means that the relationship that you had was not wasted.

873
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.880
For those of you that, you know, thought you were in good marriages and you woke up one day

874
00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:51.840
and your spouse was like, I don't want to be married to you anymore. You found out they

875
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:55.600
were being unfaithful or whatever. And you feel like, wow, what a waste. I wish I would

876
00:49:55.600 --> 00:49:58.320
have married somebody else. I married the wrong person. No, you didn't.

877
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.360
That person changed, that person fell into sin.

878
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:05.580
It does happen, but that will not be wasted.

879
00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:09.520
Joel too tells us that he will restore

880
00:50:09.520 --> 00:50:11.720
the time and the fruit.

881
00:50:15.580 --> 00:50:18.500
The delay in your life isn't wasted.

882
00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:22.040
The decisions that you make, they're not wasted.

883
00:50:22.040 --> 00:50:23.440
And I believe that we're in a season

884
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:26.080
where things are going to start to make sense,

885
00:50:26.080 --> 00:50:28.780
where a picture is going to begin to form.

886
00:50:30.600 --> 00:50:32.800
And even a season where you're going to be able

887
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:35.880
to look back and say, oh yeah, that makes sense.

888
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.580
That was why that happened.

889
00:50:43.020 --> 00:50:44.880
Now there's one final dot that I want to make sure

890
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:47.320
that we grab ahold of before we close today.

891
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:49.680
Close your eyes and I want you to ask God,

892
00:50:49.680 --> 00:50:54.680
show me one dot that maybe I'm not thinking of

893
00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:59.860
because I've just dismissed it, but it actually matters.

894
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:05.000
Show it to me.

895
00:51:13.640 --> 00:51:16.140
What are you connecting right now in my life, God?

896
00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:22.040
All right, while you're thinking of that,

897
00:51:22.040 --> 00:51:24.200
I'm just going to make a final declaration over you.

898
00:51:24.200 --> 00:51:26.640
Father, nothing in our lives are wasted.

899
00:51:26.640 --> 00:51:30.560
You're connecting every detail, every person,

900
00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:34.920
everything, every moment, every season.

901
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:36.480
It's all coming together.

902
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:38.020
The painful seasons.

903
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:41.720
You said that we're in a Job 42, 12 moment,

904
00:51:41.720 --> 00:51:44.440
and that was the latter half of Job's life.

905
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:46.520
I just released the latter half

906
00:51:46.520 --> 00:51:49.960
over all of my brothers and sisters and myself.

907
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:52.600
We might've had some good times in the former.

908
00:51:52.600 --> 00:51:54.560
We may have had some hard times in the former,

909
00:51:54.600 --> 00:51:57.120
but we are stepping into the latter.

910
00:51:57.120 --> 00:52:00.080
And it says in your word in Job 42, 12,

911
00:52:00.080 --> 00:52:04.360
and you said that we're in a Job 42, 12 season,

912
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:07.720
that the latter half of Job's life

913
00:52:07.720 --> 00:52:09.760
was greater than the former.

914
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:11.720
And so I just released that

915
00:52:11.720 --> 00:52:14.120
over my brothers and sisters and myself.

916
00:52:14.120 --> 00:52:17.640
I believe that we are in the season of the latter rain.

917
00:52:17.640 --> 00:52:20.040
And you said that you would cause that to come down double.

918
00:52:20.040 --> 00:52:23.320
So Lord, we just declare that right now.

919
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.220
Guys, go ahead and put anything that you want in the chat.

920
00:52:28.680 --> 00:52:30.120
I'm gonna grab that scripture right now.

921
00:52:30.120 --> 00:52:32.560
I'm feeling Holy Spirit, so we're gonna grab it.

922
00:52:43.700 --> 00:52:45.560
It also is from Joel 2,

923
00:52:45.560 --> 00:52:47.940
and I was already quoting from Joel 2.

924
00:52:47.940 --> 00:52:51.180
So we're gonna go ahead and grab it, okay?

925
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:58.320
Be glad then, you children of Zion,

926
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:01.880
and rejoice in the Lord your God,

927
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:04.600
for he hath given you the former rain moderately,

928
00:53:05.640 --> 00:53:08.140
and he will cause to come down for you the rain,

929
00:53:08.140 --> 00:53:12.160
the former rain and the latter rain together

930
00:53:12.160 --> 00:53:13.280
in the first month.

931
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.600
And your floor shall be full of wheat,

932
00:53:15.600 --> 00:53:18.560
and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

933
00:53:18.560 --> 00:53:21.280
And I will restore to you the years, the locust,

934
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:25.200
the years, you guys, the years, the moments, the dots,

935
00:53:25.200 --> 00:53:26.840
that the locust hath eaten,

936
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:30.200
the canker worm and the caterpillar, the palmer worm,

937
00:53:30.200 --> 00:53:32.080
my great army, which I sent among you,

938
00:53:32.080 --> 00:53:34.720
and you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,

939
00:53:34.720 --> 00:53:36.560
and praise the name of the Lord your God

940
00:53:36.560 --> 00:53:38.840
that hath dealt wondrously with you,

941
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:43.200
and my people shall never be ashamed.

942
00:53:43.200 --> 00:53:44.640
And so Lord, we thank you for that,

943
00:53:44.640 --> 00:53:46.840
and we thank you for the promise that comes after that,

944
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:49.760
that you'll pour out your spirit upon all flesh,

945
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.400
and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

946
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:54.120
and your old men will dream dreams,

947
00:53:54.120 --> 00:53:55.680
and your young men will see visions,

948
00:53:55.680 --> 00:53:57.580
and we declare it in Jesus' name.

949
00:53:58.640 --> 00:53:59.540
Come on, y'all.

950
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:04.040
I did a study a long time ago

951
00:54:04.040 --> 00:54:08.480
about all the different pestilence

952
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:10.160
that's mentioned in that scripture,

953
00:54:10.160 --> 00:54:11.640
the palmer worm and the canker worm

954
00:54:11.640 --> 00:54:13.120
and the locust and the caterpillar,

955
00:54:13.120 --> 00:54:15.140
and it's just a phenomenal teaching,

956
00:54:15.140 --> 00:54:17.720
and maybe one day I'll teach you guys it

957
00:54:17.720 --> 00:54:18.800
if you wanna hear it.

958
00:54:20.600 --> 00:54:24.600
There's a reason why there's different plagues

959
00:54:26.120 --> 00:54:27.720
mentioned in that scripture.

960
00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:34.000
Come on, you guys, do you receive it?

961
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:39.000
Do you receive the season where nothing is wasted?

962
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:44.600
I can see that some of you have a hard time hoping

963
00:54:47.200 --> 00:54:48.360
for a shift.

964
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:52.160
I taught this yesterday on a thing

965
00:54:52.160 --> 00:54:54.620
that I'm involved with, a whole nother group,

966
00:54:56.120 --> 00:54:59.000
and this is just a word right now for the body of Christ.

967
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:00.000
The Job 42.

968
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:10.960
12 is the right now word and the nothing wasted in the season, God connecting dots is a word

969
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:11.960
for this season.

970
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:17.440
So you guys take it, take it and run with it, run with it in your prayer life, declare

971
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:23.600
it over yourself, press into it, pray into it, judge it.

972
00:55:23.600 --> 00:55:29.200
The Bible says to judge every word, judge it, of course, judge it.

973
00:55:29.200 --> 00:55:31.600
Write on it, do everything you guys.

974
00:55:31.600 --> 00:55:32.880
I can't do that for you.

975
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:33.880
God can't do that for you.

976
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:34.880
You have to do that for yourself.

977
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:36.840
But I receive it for myself and I'm seeing it.

978
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:41.240
You guys, I received this television word over 15 years ago and guess what?

979
00:55:41.240 --> 00:55:44.360
I'm in a season where it's just coming.

980
00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:49.920
In fact, you guys, I haven't even been home for a couple of days from Access Hollywood

981
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:56.840
and I got a call yesterday from Fox News asking me to be an expert commentator on some scandal

982
00:55:56.840 --> 00:56:03.880
that's happening in some couple's life.

983
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:09.840
So I'm going to be on Fox News, not tomorrow, but Monday.

984
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:16.200
And I was also told that I'm the go-to person for Fox News for relationships now.

985
00:56:16.200 --> 00:56:21.880
This is only my second time being on Fox News, but I'm now the producers on Fox, I'm their

986
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:27.720
go-to expert for anything that has to do with relationship.

987
00:56:27.720 --> 00:56:29.920
I just want to let you guys know I didn't do that to myself.

988
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:38.520
I didn't call up Fox News and say, hey, do you know me?

989
00:56:38.520 --> 00:56:40.040
It's the word that was spoken.

990
00:56:40.040 --> 00:56:41.240
The dots are connecting.

991
00:56:41.240 --> 00:56:42.720
I'm not connecting the dots.

992
00:56:42.720 --> 00:56:46.240
God's connecting the dots.

993
00:56:46.240 --> 00:56:59.000
Did you guys feel that in the spirit?

994
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:02.400
Do you feel that pause?

995
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:07.920
That's because God wants to speak.

996
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:15.200
Normally we've just gotten off by now, but there's a teaching moment.

997
00:57:15.200 --> 00:57:27.720
And you feel that reverence come, feel the reverence, the silence.

998
00:57:27.720 --> 00:57:36.160
In my experience, that's when there's a prophetic word coming or tongues interpretation coming.

999
00:57:36.160 --> 00:57:39.840
So if anyone has a strong tongue that has come over them right now and you just can't

1000
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:51.480
even hold it back, you can just go ahead and release that, because otherwise it's just

1001
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:54.880
going to come in the form of a prophetic word.

1002
00:57:54.880 --> 00:58:03.400
Four, three, two, one, okay.

1003
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.480
We're going to push past that moment.

1004
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:09.200
You want to read about the gifts of the spirit?

1005
00:58:09.560 --> 00:58:14.320
You can go read about them.

1006
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:32.680
So now let's look to the Lord for the prophetic word.

1007
00:58:32.680 --> 00:58:34.800
My sons and daughters, do you not know that I love you?

1008
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:36.240
Do you not know that I'm with you?

1009
00:58:36.240 --> 00:58:40.400
Do you not know that I have seen you from the very beginning?

1010
00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:44.560
Not the beginning of your life, but from the beginning of my creation, I saw you.

1011
00:58:44.560 --> 00:58:45.560
I saw you.

1012
00:58:45.560 --> 00:58:46.800
You were in my imagination.

1013
00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:47.800
I saw you.

1014
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:49.160
You are not random.

1015
00:58:49.160 --> 00:58:51.120
You are not here without me.

1016
00:58:51.120 --> 00:58:52.360
You are inside of me.

1017
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:53.360
I have you.

1018
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:54.800
I have you in my hands.

1019
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:55.800
You do not need to fear.

1020
00:58:55.800 --> 00:58:57.440
You do not need to fear stepping forward.

1021
00:58:57.440 --> 00:58:59.440
You do not need to fear stepping out.

1022
00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:03.080
You do not need to fear doing things that are in your heart, because I placed those

1023
00:59:03.080 --> 00:59:04.080
things there.

1024
00:59:04.080 --> 00:59:05.200
I know you intimately.

1025
00:59:05.200 --> 00:59:07.920
I know you even better than you know yourself.

1026
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:09.400
And I want great things for you.

1027
00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:12.800
I want great things for you even more than you want great things.

1028
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.000
And so know that you have my permission.

1029
00:59:15.000 --> 00:59:18.580
Know that you have my permission to live a big and beautiful and bountiful life.

1030
00:59:18.580 --> 00:59:23.280
Know that you have my permission to step out and to step in and to do the things that you

1031
00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:24.280
desire to do.

1032
00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:25.280
It's not too late.

1033
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:26.280
Now is the time.

1034
00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:27.280
Now is the time to take risks.

1035
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.840
Now is the time to do what's in your heart.

1036
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:34.360
Now is the time to trust me, even when you can't trace me.

1037
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:35.880
Now is the time.

1038
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.080
If you step forward, you will see my glory.

1039
00:59:38.080 --> 00:59:39.600
You will see my power.

1040
00:59:39.600 --> 00:59:41.200
You will see my deliverance.

1041
00:59:41.200 --> 00:59:45.360
You will see that I have you and that I always have had you.

1042
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:46.520
I'm holding you.

1043
00:59:46.520 --> 00:59:48.080
You're being held.

1044
00:59:48.080 --> 00:59:49.320
You are not alone.

1045
00:59:49.320 --> 00:59:50.680
You are not forgotten.

1046
00:59:50.680 --> 00:59:51.960
You are not random.

1047
00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:52.960
You are mine.

1048
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:58.040
Now show the world that you are mine, because that is what you're here to do.

1049
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:19.920
Yes, yes and amen.

1050
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:22.520
And I want this to be a teaching moment.

1051
01:00:22.520 --> 01:00:27.500
Whoever had that word, it was okay for you to release it.

1052
01:00:27.500 --> 01:00:32.480
When you feel that pressure building up in your spirit, like you might just explode,

1053
01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:34.700
it's okay for you to release it.

1054
01:00:34.700 --> 01:00:41.260
You may not have been taught about the gifts or how they work, but that is what that was.

1055
01:00:41.260 --> 01:00:46.580
And I went ahead and released it because you didn't.

1056
01:00:46.580 --> 01:00:51.940
But I want to let you know that God will work with and through anybody.

1057
01:00:51.940 --> 01:01:00.980
And that spirit was upon all of us just now to receive that word of prophetic confirmation

1058
01:01:00.980 --> 01:01:02.220
of this call.

1059
01:01:02.220 --> 01:01:03.600
And so Lord, we thank you for it.

1060
01:01:03.600 --> 01:01:04.600
We receive it.

1061
01:01:04.600 --> 01:01:08.500
We will be doers and not just hearers of your word in Jesus name.

1062
01:01:08.500 --> 01:01:11.200
All right, friends, I love you so much.

1063
01:01:11.200 --> 01:01:12.200
Go forward.

1064
01:01:12.200 --> 01:01:18.260
Listen to that word and replay, write down the words of it and apply it to your life.

1065
01:01:18.260 --> 01:01:22.140
Step into it because God is giving us permission.

1066
01:01:22.140 --> 01:01:22.580
See you soon.
