All right, welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
For those of you that's jumping on, it's me, David Dorman, in the house, and we are going
to have a great day today.
All right, you guys, I'm really excited about the future.
Are you excited about the future?
Yes or no?
Put yes or no in the chat, and be honest, because there isn't any brownie points for
lying, okay, for pretending.
Are you excited about the future?
Everyone's just honest.
They're like, currently, no.
Currently, no, I'm not that excited about the future, right?
Some of you are like, a little bit, somewhat, not at the moment, no, no, no.
Some people like, yeah, certain parts, but the other parts, I don't know.
And I feel you.
I feel you, because I felt like that like three days ago.
Three days ago, I was just like, ugh, you know what?
Take me home, Jesus, because I'm done.
And we go back and forth, right?
Because we are being influenced by our circumstances, and we are all like that.
We're all like that at some level.
And I totally understand.
I heard, so you guys, seriously, I went on Monday, it's Saturday, I went on Monday to
the gym with my daughter, my 25-year-old daughter.
Someone needs to be muted there.
So let's get you muted.
Lots of people need to be muted.
Come on, y'all, you got to mute your phones, because otherwise there's going to be background
noise, and that background noise is going to mess up the recording for all the replay
people.
Okay.
So I went to the gym on Monday with my 25-year-old daughter, and she wasn't doing anything intense,
you guys.
I just haven't been to the gym in a year of Sundays, like actually the gym.
You know, I walk a lot, but going to the gym, lifting weights, that's not something
that I do.
And it's something that I've been told that us older ladies should be doing.
We need that for our bones, right?
It strengthens your bones.
Diana's like, no, but we do.
We need it, Diana, we need it for our bones.
And so, but don't do what I did.
Don't go to the gym with a 25-year-old, not a good idea.
So I went, and once again, she wasn't doing anything, I don't think, that strenuous, but
she was doing these things with this kettlebell called Romanian deadlifts, RDLs.
Anyone know what this is?
You just hinge over at your waist.
You have like a kettlebell, and all you do is just, you stay straight.
You stay as straight as you can.
You can bend your knees a little bit, but you're just hinging over back and forth, kind
of like a crane with this weight, and it's supposed to strengthen your glutes and your
hamstrings, whatever.
Well, I did like 10 of those with a much smaller kettlebell than her, and went about my merry
way.
The rest of the day, I'm doing things.
I start noticing a couple hours later that one of my feet has this weird humming kind
of in it, like almost like it's connected to an electrical outlet.
And I'm like, huh, that's so weird.
And I was like, what the heck is that?
And then the other foot started to have a little bit, not as much as the left foot.
And then pretty soon, that feeling's creeping up my leg, and then it's turning into zings
and pops, like nerve type of feelings.
And I'm like, oh no, what the heck?
And you guys, do you know that I did not put two and two together?
Like, oh, I went to the gym for the first time in a million years, in a millennium today,
and now I'm having this.
Those two things must be related.
No, no, no.
I didn't put those two things together.
Ah, no.
Have you guys ever heard the saying, if you hear the sound of hooves coming, it's probably
horses and not zebras.
Has anyone ever heard that saying?
Okay.
Well, you know what?
I went full zebra mode.
It must be zebras.
I went down so many zebra, little rabbit, zebra trails.
I was looking for zebras everywhere.
I was like, oh my gosh, what's happening?
I have a vitamin deficiency.
I have toxicity from my supplements.
You guys, first of all, I just want to let you know, my chat GPT history could be a movie.
It could be its own movie, all right?
If anyone found my phone and looked at my chat GPT search history, they'd be like, this
woman is certifiable.
She's got serious issues.
And some of you are rowing that boat with me, so you can laugh all you want, but it's
you too.
All right, hold on.
I'm becoming myself again.
You mute yourself.
Okay.
I'm back on my phone.
So I...
go down, you guys, I am making myself freaked out now,
because just so you know,
the internet will tell you whatever you want to hear.
It'll tell you whatever you want to hear,
especially these AI things like chat GBT and stuff.
It will tell you whatever you want.
It will agree with you.
It will go all the way there with you
if you want to go all the way there.
And so now me, and by the way, my chat, his name is Jeffrey.
Me and Jeffrey are down every zebra path you can imagine.
All right?
I have vitamin B6 toxicity.
I have an iron deficiency.
I have an allergic reaction to some random ingredient
in one of my supplements.
Yes, that's right.
And I went to bed that night in that belief,
in that belief system, and it didn't get better.
It got worse as the day wore on,
and then at night I'm barely able to sleep
because my legs are just crazy.
And it's one leg more than the other, but it's both.
Then the next day, it's even worse.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is not going away.
I stopped taking this.
I didn't take that.
Now I'm scanning everything, you guys.
I am looking and looking and looking for the solution.
What am I not doing?
I'm not praying.
I'm not doing any of that.
I'm just off on my own adventure,
trying to figure out what the heck's wrong
and how to fix it.
By the end of that day, you guys,
I am mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I have gone down every dark alley.
I have believed every horrible thought about myself now.
Now it's not only a vitamin deficiency
or it's toxicity from something.
Now it's a full-blown, you know,
something terrible has happened.
It has come on suddenly, and now this is my new normal.
Anybody else?
Just go all the way there.
The problem is, is that that shouldn't be the default.
You guys, I'm being very transparent.
I don't really know how else to be.
That's the kind of person that I am.
So like it or leave it.
But that should not be the default.
But you know what?
The reason why it's my default
is because I grew up very abused.
And even though I've known Jesus for 29 years, you guys,
I'm gonna celebrate my 30th year of full-time ministry
next summer.
You're like, whoa, Jackie, wait,
you mean it doesn't get better?
Well, it's not about not getting better.
I just want you to understand that I have,
I had been through so much big T trauma in my life
that I've become a very hypervigilant person.
Hypervigilant meaning always looking for danger,
always looking for the shoe to drop,
always wondering what's around the corner,
always squinting to see what that light is
at the end of the tunnel
because I'm pretty sure it's a train.
You know, this is my default settings
because of how I came into the world.
Now, we all came into the world under the curse.
Every single one of us,
the curse just looks different on every single one of us.
This is why we're like, oh, look at these babies.
One of our success stories just had a baby
and they live in town.
So I dropped off some breakfast sandwiches
at their house on the porch
and some little, you know, sleepers for the little baby
and all the things.
And it's like, oh, look at this baby.
This baby is the cutest baby, you guys.
It has a huge head.
It doesn't have a huge head.
It has a big, it has a lot of hair,
is what I'm trying to say.
It doesn't have a huge head.
It has a normal sized head
and it has all of this beautiful dark hair
that I think is gonna be curly.
Gorgeous little head of hair on that little girl.
And, you know, we're like, oh, this baby is so sweet,
so innocent.
No, they're not.
They're not innocent.
They're born into the curse, y'all.
They're born into the curse.
And if you've ever watched a toddler
try to get what they want,
you will know that children have been born into the curse.
No one has to teach them how to bite.
No one has to teach them how to smack or hit or grab
or, you know, not share.
Like you have to teach them how to not bite
and how to not hit and how to share
because they're born into the curse.
Me, me, me, mine, mine.
Right?
So all of us were born into the curse
and the curse looks different on us
depending on how we were raised and what that looked like.
You know, some of us, like myself,
were born into families that were very unsafe
and we had to fend for our lives,
came out of the womb, running for your life immediately.
And so that made me hypervigilant, you guys.
I've been independent from a very young age,
watching my own back, sleeping with one eye open.
And so when, even now, 51 years later,
when something is out of place,
when something's out of alignment,
I will oftentimes
go down the darkest road of what that could be.
And I'm saying all that because if that's your default setting, and some of you
kind of is, but it kind of isn't, but a lot of us are real worriers. We worry about things. We
try to figure things out ourselves. We think about worst case scenarios very easily. We're
hypervigilant about our safety and about the safety of the people that we love.
And we're always concerned about keeping that stuff safe, keeping ourselves safe. And so I
did that here. And so it was on the second night. So that happened Monday, all day, Tuesday,
I'm a mess. Tuesday night, I'm a mess. Wednesday. Wednesday, I finally decide to, oh, let's take
this to Jesus. Okay. And so I'm like, oh, I don't know what else to do. I'm exhausted.
And Holy Spirit's like, do you think you might've hurt yourself working out?
I was like, wait, what? Yeah. One and one equals two. The sound of those hooves. Those are horses.
This is literally the thought that Holy Spirit dropped in my heart when I got up that morning
on Wednesday. The simplest thing is often the true thing.
That's the thought that dropped into my spirit is that it's an easy fix. It's a simple fix.
And I was just like, oh, wait a second. Okay. I hurt myself. So I went to the chiropractor
on Thursday, not on Wednesday. On Thursday, I waited one more day. I iced my back.
I iced my lower back. Things started getting better that night. I got some good sleep.
It was good. I was feeling better. I went to the chiropractor on Thursday. Then it got better.
Yesterday, it was even better. Today, it's going to be even better. Praise the Lord.
Thank you, God. But I'm saying all that to say that I suffered
so much between Monday and Thursday, needlessly, needlessly, friends, need-less-ly.
Now, yeah, I was still going to have some pain and discomfort in my body. And I still do right now.
But I'm just saying that pain, but discomfort and just weirdness.
But I was suffering mentally, needlessly. Anyone else suffer mentally, needlessly? Can I see in
the chat? You know you got a problem. You don't know how to solve it. But you've already imagined
in your imagination all the terrible things that are going to happen.
You're going to get evicted. You're not going to be able to pay your mortgage or your rent.
You're going to get evicted. Your car's got a little sound. And you're like, oh, I don't have
any money to fix the car. Oh, car, you can't break down. What's wrong with you? You're acting a
little weird. And then you go all the way there that now you don't have a car. Now you can't get
to work. You've got to take the bus. You've got to bum rides off friends. And then you lose your
work. You've got to take the bus. You've got to bum rides off friends. And then you lose your job.
I mean, a lot of us have a tendency to believe that we are in this world on our own.
And as a single, I can imagine that's even worse because it's been a while since I've
been a single, but I was a single and I was a single mom. And it's a scary place,
especially if you're estranged from your family. Like my family, no.
But you guys, we're not on our own in the earth. We're not. So last week I asked the question,
well, I talked about what would happen if Brennan Manning was right. And this is just very
philosophical friends. And we get to heaven and Jesus asks us, did you really believe that I
loved you on earth? And this all plays into that because if we want to live our lives like people
that are fully loved, you know, I taught you guys that lesson last Saturday on Supernatural Saturday.
And then I lived the opposite of it all week. Was I acting like someone that Jesus really loves?
Was I acting like someone who was safe and protected? Was I acting like someone who God
is emotionally involved with? No, I didn't even actually even go to God. I tried to figure it out
myself like a little orphan Annie, little orphan Jackie out here, not practicing what she's preaching.
Okay. So you guys, it's important for us to understand that that looks like something.
So I want to talk about something today that we have in our program. So it doesn't matter if you're
at the very beginning of our program or you're all the way in VIP community at the very end of
our program. We have something called the Jesus Cares Board.
And I want to let you know that the Jesus Cares Board exists because of this exact thing.
Because I had habitual anxiety.
Even as a believer, I had a hard time allowing myself to surrender to the idea that God was
for me, that He was going to help me, that He was my present help in time of need.
I had a hard time.
You can still see that I'm not fully cured.
And I don't know that we can be fully cured in this earth soup.
I think the flesh always will gravitate towards independence, will always gravitate towards
how can I fix this?
How can I make this better?
You know, how can I keep myself safe?
And so we really have to be almost warring against that.
This is spiritual warfare.
Against that tendency to be an orphan.
Against that tendency to go around acting like, you know, we're on our own in this whole
thing.
All right.
So last week I talked about, did you really believe I loved you?
But let's talk about love for a second because we always hear, well, God is love.
God doesn't just have love.
He is love.
God is love.
Well, okay.
That's great.
But how do we know that?
How do we know that God is love?
Put it in the chat.
I mean, it's great.
People are telling us that.
That's wonderful.
But how do we know it?
Jesus, Charlotte, the only way that we know God is love, God, the father, the spirit of
God, that it is love, that it doesn't just have love, that it is love.
The only reason we know that is through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
For God so loved the world that he sent his son.
And we haven't seen the father except through Christ, right?
Jesus says, you know, if you've seen me, you've seen the father.
And through the person of Christ, how he lived, what he did, how he died, we see the father.
That's the only way we can see the father.
Because you guys, the God of the Old Testament wasn't looking too loving, I'm just going
to tell you.
If you read the Old Testament, you're like, dang, some scary stuff happening down here.
Right?
But then after Jesus, everything kind of shifted, didn't it?
And I'm not saying that God shifted.
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
But the way that we saw him through the lens of the Old Testament, through the lens of
sin, through the lens of the law, and the way that we should see him through the lens
of the finished work of the cross is different.
Do you guys see that?
Kind of comes into focus a little bit more.
So what's so beautiful about this, you guys, is we can live not just a fully surrendered
life, but we could live, if we wanted to, and I'm talking to myself right now, we could
live a worry-free life.
Remember what God told me at the beginning of the year?
He said, Jackie, I don't want you to worry this year.
If you can fix it, fix it.
If you can't, give it to me.
And you guys, that goes back to that Jesus Cares Board.
The reason why the Jesus Cares Board exists in the first place, in this program, is because
I needed it.
I needed a prophetic activation to release care and worry, because I not only carried
my own care and worry, I carried everybody else's care and worry.
I was like a care and worry pack horse, because people see me as strong, and so people would
just give me all their worry.
People would bring all their problems to me.
Anybody else?
Constantly.
I was bogged down with everybody else's problems, everybody else's situations.
Everybody else's, you know, needed answers on this or that, bogged down with praying
for everybody else.
I had my own situations.
Anybody else become like a catch-all of everyone's drama and trauma?
I mean, I'm not like that anymore, but I'm just saying, because I have this thing called
boundaries.
You ever heard of it?
Okay.
I found out about it.
I wish I would have found out about it a lot sooner, it would have been better.
For a while, my little pendulum swung all the way the other side to where people would
just come up to me, and before they even said anything, I was like, no, because you get
burnt out, right?
I get burned out and then it's not good.
All right.
So, you guys, that is why the Jesus Cares Board exists.
If you're brand new to our program, just know that that's why it exists.
It exists because your leader, Jackie Dorman, is neurotic.
That's why it exists, okay?
And I was having a hard life, you guys, and I was going through a really hard season where
I was not going to make it, all right?
Much harder than any of the stuff I'm talking about now.
And God was visiting me in the night hours during this season.
And when He was visiting me in the night hours, you know, this is where we began this conversation
about who I belong to, which is Him, and who my problems belong to, which I thought was
me.
But if I belong to Him, then my problems have to belong to Him too.
And then He was very clear about telling me that He doesn't have any problems.
And so this is where the Jesus Cares Board was birthed.
And when I tell you that it's supernatural, it's supernatural.
If you really believe it, if you really receive the word that I'm releasing right now, and
I know that you learned this in phase one, and some of you are in phase one, but this
is just going to hit it home even harder.
Because I believe that God wants us to stop suffering and start celebrating.
So if I was going to give today's Supernatural Saturday a title, why are you suffering when
it's time to celebrate?
Stop suffering and start celebrating.
God said that to me yesterday.
He said, Jackie, there are times, friends, where we're mourning.
When I lost my mom in 2020, there have been other things where there have been times of
sorrow.
There's been times of grief.
And some of you may have been going through something like that recently or even present.
The Bible says that weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
It says we're going to put off our sackcloth and ashes and we're going to dance.
Okay, we're going to celebrate.
And I believe that the time of celebrating has come.
So regardless of what it is that you're going through, because I have some situations right
now that are not resolved, the back thing is resolving itself.
That's great.
But there's some other situations that if I really wanted to, I could suffer needlessly.
And when I say suffer needlessly, I mean worrying.
You guys, worrying is suffering.
Do you know that?
When you are worrying, listen to me, you are suffering.
You are suffering.
And I want you to think about all the things that you've worried about in your lifetime
that have actually never happened.
So you suffered needlessly, didn't you?
Because God did work it out, didn't he?
When you finally let go of it, I mean, I'm talking to myself right now.
You guys, come on, come on.
How can we be a people, the word that we received from Jesus, the word of prophecy we received
two Supernatural Saturdays ago, if you didn't hear it, go listen to it, and then I unpacked
it even further last week.
How can we be that people that shows this world what it looks like to be the redeemed,
to be the sons and daughters of God, if we're just around suffering all the time?
No one wants that life.
You know that scene at the end of Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly is in the car
with Anne Hathaway and she's just like, you know, living this terrible life.
Yeah, I mean, she's stylish and she runs the magazine and all the things, but her home
life is a wreck and all the stuff.
Anne Hathaway's character, Andy, is sitting in the car with her and they're in Paris and
Miranda Priestly says to her, which is Meryl Streep, by the way, she says, you know, you
remind me of myself.
And Andy's like, oh, heck no, I don't want to be you.
I don't want to be you.
And so Andy says, I don't see that.
And then she says, what if I don't want to live like you, Miranda?
And she said, don't be ridiculous, Andrea.
Everybody wants this.
No, y'all.
Not everybody wants to live for Jesus if this is what it looks like.
Now, in the world, we will have trouble and everyone's going to have trouble, even Christ
followers.
Jesus said we were going to have trouble.
Many are the adversities of the righteous, but then he goes on to say, but I will deliver
them out of them all.
Right.
Isn't that what he says?
He says, you're going to have trouble in this world.
And then he says in the next breath, but be of good cheer because I have overcome the
world.
Come on, be of good cheer.
Does that sound like suffering?
It sounds kind of like celebrating, doesn't it?
Come on, you guys.
I'm talking to myself.
I'm tired of suffering.
Yes, we're going to have some adversities and when we're going through them, I guess
our posture should just be, you know what, I'm either up or getting up.
God has promised to deliver me out of all of this, out of every single adversity.
It's promised.
And He is love.
And I've seen that He is love because I have read the life of Jesus Christ and He was all
mercy.
He was all grace.
He was all love.
And this is what the Father looks like.
This is what the Father looks like.
That cross where Jesus died for me is what the Father looks like.
Yes.
So if you have allowed your Jesus Cares Board to get stagnant like me, I actually redid
the hallway.
We put some different things in our hallway, which caused me to take my Jesus Cares Board
down like two years ago and I never put it back up, or a year and a half ago, and I never
put it back up.
So it's time for my Jesus Cares Board to get back up there.
Mine was just a Post-it note with a bunch of Post-it notes.
That's what mine was.
And let's see.
Okay.
Mine was just a Post-it note with a bunch of Post-it notes on it, like so the big huge
Post-it note from like Staples and then a bunch of little Post-it notes, like all the
different like blue, pink, yellow, green ones.
Okay.
So when I felt like I was not worrying about that thing anymore, or that thing had gotten
resolved or just had gone away for whatever reason, then I would take it off.
I would just take it down.
But I will tell you that the Jesus Cares Board, once again, it was birthed during a very,
very hard, one of the hardest seasons of my entire life.
And that's saying a lot, because I've had a lot of big T trauma, and God really got
me through that season by helping me to understand that my problems belong to Him because I belong
to Him.
And you know, a lot of times, friends, it's hard for us to give something to God that
we know that we were the author of, that we created that problem.
It was our mistake.
It was our bad.
We should not have done it.
We should not have trusted that person.
We should not have invested that money.
We should not have taken that job.
Whatever.
You guys, it doesn't matter how the trouble came to you.
It doesn't matter if you open the door to it.
It does not matter.
It still falls under the jurisdiction of God's problem, not yours.
And remember, God doesn't have any problems.
Right?
Right.
So we got to go back to casting our cares on Him because He cares for us.
Let Him care for you.
And I don't just mean care like a feeling, like, oh, I care for you, caretaking.
Let Him take care of you.
Who wants to be taken care of?
Can I see your hands?
Who would like to be taken care of?
And gentlemen, this absolutely pertains to you.
This is not a passenger princess situation.
Okay?
In fact, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you are the princesses of God, too.
One of the things that I've always really enjoyed is to see how other cultures, not
American culture, but how other cultures treat their sons.
Do you want to hear the song I've been doing?
Hold on, guys.
Got a mute situation going on.
Let me turn it up a little bit.
This is the Touch of Heaven one.
What's it called?
Touch of Heaven.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Muted.
I worked with a very prominent Israeli man during a film festival that I was producing.
And he was the owner of the film festival.
He was very rough and gruff, you know, very, just think like, just think like mobster Italian
New York City type of personalities.
Like that's the kind of personality that a lot of the Israeli men that I have met, the
ones that are from Israel, the business guys, they really have this kind of personality.
Okay?
And really rough and gruff, you know, and just walking through the venue.
Every single day, this film festival venue, we're one day, we're one day to the event
and just yelling at everyone, cussing everybody out.
I've never heard the F-word so many times in my entire life.
And then his wife and his son show up the day of the festival.
I've never met her.
I've never met his little boy.
He's mentioned that he has a little boy.
His little boy is five, six years old.
And I hear this little voice.
I hear this little voice yelling down the hall at this venue.
I hear, Abba, Abba, Abba.
And I've never, ever heard anyone in real life call their father Abba.
I mean, we call God Abba father.
That's what the Bible says, that we're no longer fearful, but that we're children.
We're children that can say, father, dear father, Abba, father.
That means father, dear father.
And so I hear this little voice yelling Abba, and I'm like, what in the world?
And then I see this gruff man, this man that I've experienced in a very different way,
step out in the hallway and open his arms.
And this isn't a little girl.
This is a little boy.
David is his name, David.
David, David runs into Abba's arms.
It is the sweetest thing that I've ever seen.
But the entire time that he was with his son during this weekend that I was with him, he
was so gentle, such a gentle father, such a patient father.
It was really, really beautiful.
You guys, we see this God of the Old Testament and, you know, people are getting smite.
They're getting smite down.
I don't even know how else to say it.
Whole groups of people are just getting wiped out.
This is happening.
That's happening.
There's plagues happening.
There's, you know, there's, I'm sorry, you had me at lice.
With the lice plague, I would have been out.
Anybody else?
I worked at a daycare in college.
I had lice one time.
It was the most harrowing experience of my life.
Can you imagine a plague of lice?
I'm like, check, please.
I'm done.
Done.
Dead.
Over.
Okay.
So we're seeing all this in the Old Testament, and that reminds me of this man pre-event.
But then when the event comes and the son comes, I saw the father through the son.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Abba.
Open arms.
So, gentlemen, I just want to let you know that I've seen the way the father treats the
sons.
I know that we have this idea in American culture that men need to be hard, grow up,
be a man, take it like a man.
You know, don't cry, you little baby.
You know, that is not how Father God treats his sons.
I'm just going to tell you that right now.
I don't know how that came to be part of American culture, but it's BS.
And it's part of the reason why we have men out here that don't know what to do.
They don't know who to be.
They're in a full-blown identity crisis because of the way the culture has told men what it
looks like to be a man.
I'm sorry, that's not what it looks like to be a man.
It doesn't.
Men and women were both created in the image of God.
Men are very good at different things when it comes to structuring and strategizing and
ordering.
Ladies, you know, you can say all you want is all.
We don't need no men.
Okay, that's fine.
But when you drive down the street today, I want you to look around at all the buildings.
Women didn't build those, ladies.
I know that you think we are women, we can roar and do whatever, but they didn't build
none of that, okay?
Not one of those things.
Men are builders.
They're architects.
They're strategists.
Yeah, there's a few women in those fields that, you know, are project engineers and
stuff.
And God bless those ladies.
But 99.9% of them are men.
And not because we're not letting women into those fields, because that's not how women
are bent.
The masculine is bent to put things in order.
That is what Adam was doing in the garden.
He was bringing order to God's creation.
This is what men do.
And somehow we've got this toxic alpha male idea of what this is what men are.
No, y'all, that's not what men are.
That's not how they were created.
They were created to be loved on and to love the father the same way as the woman in the
garden.
These are our garden settings.
You guys, we have to get back to garden settings.
But culture, especially American culture, has told men that this is how they have to
be.
And this is a lot of times how they were treated by their mother and their father, mostly their
father, from the time that they were born.
And this is part of it.
the problem that we're seeing, okay? All right, we're going to get our Jesus Cares boards going
here. So if you are an overthinker, if you're someone who replays in your mind over and over
again all of the bad things that might happen as a result of whatever it is that's going on in your
life, if you forecast worst case scenarios, if you try to control outcomes that are not yours
to control because you really don't have any control, then this message is for you and it's
for everyone else too. Because the Jesus Cares board is not just a cute idea, it's a spiritual
strategy, you guys. I know that we say all the time, well, you know, I'm not going to worry about
that. I gave it to God. But we might have given it to God, but then we picked it right back up
20 minutes later. And so this is a visible representation of giving it to God. We're
going to make it visible. We're going to make it intentional. We're going to make it real.
So here are the things that go on your Jesus Cares board. Anything that you're confused about,
things you don't understand, decisions, you guys, I put decisions on my Jesus Cares board.
If I'm praying about whether I should do something or not, it goes up there. Things you don't
understand, decisions that you don't know how to make yet, you're unsure about making,
whether you should do this, whether you should do that. Situations where you need clarity,
clarity seems just out of reach, anything that's confusing, anything that needs clarifying.
Then the next kind of category in my mind that goes on there is anything you're concerned about.
So confused about, number one, concerned about, number two, all of your worries,
all of your anxieties, all of your what if thoughts, things that keep you up at night,
things that you wouldn't even say out loud to someone else because you're like,
oh, I don't want anyone to know that I'm worried about this, or this sounds crazy in my head.
You write that on a post-it or however you do your Jesus Cares board and you put it up there.
The thing that you think about too much before you fall asleep, put it on there.
Put it on there. Give it to God. You'd be amazed at what happens when you really,
truly give things to God. In my experience, one of two things are going to happen. You're just
going to have peace. It may not be resolved. You may not have the answer, but you no longer
are worried about it. You have peace about it because you know it's in the right hands.
It's not in your hands anymore. It's in the right hands. Or you're just going to get a
solution to it. Those are the two things that I've experienced. The other things that you put on your
Jesus Cares board that you might not think about putting up there are the things that you desire,
your dreams, the breakthrough that you need, the breakthrough that other people need. If you're
praying about someone in your family, you love someone, well, that's really the next category.
So desire things, dreams, breakthroughs, things you would love to see happen.
Make it your new vision board in a way. Prayers that you're believing for,
can slap your husband or wife up there on your Cares board. And then the next thing that I would
say would be its own category would be people. People that you're praying for, friends, family,
prodigals. You got a prodigal kid? Put them up there. Anyone that you feel responsible for helping,
fixing, leading, and they're doing something they shouldn't be doing, put them up there. Maybe they
have a sickness or something going on with them. Maybe they're having some sort of financial
crisis or whatever. Put them up there. Any area that needs transformation, you guys, your health,
your finances, your relationships. If you need some specific type of healing in your body or
in your emotions, you can also put like habits that you want to break. You can put that up there.
You got a bad habit about something? Put it up there. Put it up there, you guys.
All right. I want you to put in the chat one thing that you know
absolutely needs to go on your Jesus Cares board immediately.
In the chat. Be honest. We're all here to be honest.
Guys, you know what I was just reminded of? Someone put in the chat injustice towards me.
I'm going to speak to you, whoever put that in there. Now, listen. I had a student,
and this was back before I started this specific group for singles. I had a group called The Good
Life, and it was a six-month life coaching mentorship where I was your coach. There were
a handful of people in that. This has been years ago.
There are a number of people out there in the world today who do not
now. And this woman came in to my Good Life Mentoring Program. And the Good Life was obviously
appreciate things that they do have this right to say about things that they do not
based on John 1010. And she had more problems than a math book. This woman, she was not Caribbean,
enjoy being out the photo with other people, or about other things that you do,
I continue to encourage you guys to not get over-motivated by it.
I think she was Bahamian or Jamaican, one or the other, one of those two, one of those two.
Don't get over-motivated by something that you don't reported on,
or it feels fastidious to cope with so many people.
I encourage you guys to do that in your toolbox and
And she had this really estranged relationship with her mother and sisters. She always felt
like she was the black sheep of the family. She only had sisters. Her mother treated her poorly,
talked down to her. Her sisters, you know, there was a favorite, she wasn't the favorite kind of
thing. And, you know, she really, she had, she got into midlife. She's 50 years in her 50s. She
had never been married. She didn't have any children of her own. And, you know, she was
coming to this life coaching program of mine because she, she needed help. She heard me speak
somewhere and she needed help. She was renting an apartment from a landlord who was harassing her.
So everywhere she looked, you guys, she was being harassed. She's being harassed by her mother,
by her sisters. She's being harassed by this landlord that was bullying her. And if I'm being
honest, part of the problem was, is that she didn't speak up for herself. There was a lot
of injustice that was happening to her, but she also didn't speak up for herself. She also had,
at the very same time, a situation at work where she was being, other people were giving her their
work to do and different things were happening, you guys. And so I began to coach her. I began
to point out things. I began to talk to her about boundaries, began to do some heart work.
Okay. Heart work was the main thing that we did in that group as well, because heart work
works and that's what you got to do. And so when I started seeing her shift, I started seeing her
getting a little bit of a backbone, speaking up for herself, saying no. Some things started
happening that were good. And the landlord's situation was very unjust when she explained
it to me, what was happening as far as she was paying rent. And it was cold, you guys. It was
wintertime and she had a radiator in this apartment, like a radiator heater, and it was broken and he
wasn't fixing it. And so we prayed over that situation and the Jesus Cares Board already
existed. That is not something that's just about this and just for single people. It exists for
everyone. And I already had learned that from the Lord. And so I was already teaching that to other
people back then. And long story short, one day we were having a one-on-one and I just really felt
the Lord give me a word of knowledge about what was going to happen. And the Lord told me that
she was going to, within the year, she was going to be able to move out of that place
because she couldn't afford to live anywhere else. She was going to move out of that place
and she was going to move into her own place. Oh, now that I'm remembering, she actually had a
roommate too, to make it even worse. Okay. And she was having issues with this roommate. Well,
the common denominator in all these situations was her, right? And obviously there was definitely
some kind of demonic harassment that was happening as well through all of these different
situations. Bottom line, I got the word. I released it over her. She said, I don't know
how it would ever move. I don't have any money. Within a year, you guys, she was moved.
She had her own place. She had this amazing opportunity open up. She actually ended up
getting a different job. And then a few months later, maybe six months later, she joined my
last year single prom. She joined Married in 12 Months or Less because I had opened it by then.
She joined Married in 12 Months or Less. And now, even though she was in her fifties, single,
had never been married, no children. She is happily married. She has her own home. She has her own
husband. He has kids. So now she has kids. She has a whole nother family because her family was,
you know, trash, treating her like trash. All right, you guys, just how powerful
and don't think that you can't have a life transformation like that because you can.
You can. When I met her, she was a mousy little woman, seriously.
And now she's bold. I'm telling you, I ran into her at a conference not that long ago. I'm like,
you're not even the same person. I don't even know who you are, but it's good. And I like it.
I like it.
So it's time, you guys. We're not suffering. We're celebrating.
And I realized, listen, I know some of you are addicted to figuring it out. Trust me,
I am too. I'm a little detective. I'm a little detective, okay? I got you. But you're addicted
to figuring it out. Some of us are addicted to monitoring it. You just keep, you keep watching
it, seeing.
Keep one eye on it, one eye on it, one eye on the situation,
just monitoring, monitoring, monitoring, no.
Rechecking it, no.
Emotionally revisiting it, nah.
And we might even think that's responsible.
Like, yeah, I gotta keep my eye on this thing.
This thing could get out of hand.
This thing could really take me out, no.
God calls that not trusting him.
Guys, that's where the torment comes from.
Trying to control what only God can handle.
Carrying on your back what's meant to be cast on him.
The reason why he said,
cast your cares on me because I care for you
is because it's too heavy for you.
And so listen, here's your new litmus test.
If it's too heavy for you to carry,
then it's not yours to carry.
And here's another thing that I'm really,
you guys, I have a gift,
because I'm prophetic, to see the future,
but I'm not meant to live in the future.
I'm meant to live in the present.
And have you ever noticed that all the bad things
that you're worried about happening are in the future,
not the present?
You gotta stay in the present, stay out of the future.
Yes, you can see the future, you can write it down.
Maybe you're prophetic too, a lot of you are,
and you can write that stuff down,
but don't live in the future, live in the present.
It is a gift, get it, present.
Live in the present.
If anything bad's happening in the present, you guys,
like my back issue or whatever issue you're going on,
well, once again, you're putting it
on your Jesus cares board.
Because you already know that you can't fix it.
I know it's really hard for us to understand,
and trust me, for me, it's probably,
it's just as hard as you, maybe even harder than you,
because this is my, this has been how I've been all my life.
But we really are meant to live free.
Who the son has set free is free.
We are meant to live light.
We are meant to live at peace, you guys.
We are.
That's why the scripture says that they
that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.
The word wait there means to expectantly prepare.
Expectantly prepare, for what?
For the fruition of what God has promised.
For God to take care of it, for God to deliver you.
That's where your strength comes from.
The joy of the Lord, the joy of knowing
that you have a father that loves you.
Not because life is perfect, because it's not,
but because you know who's holding it.
Remember that old hymn,
because he lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because I know who holds the future,
and life is worth the living just because he lives.
You guys remember that song?
Who remembers that song?
My nanny used to sing that.
So friends, let's start using our Jesus Cares Board.
And when it's on there,
we don't have to keep checking on it.
You know, if you're like me, you're like,
hey God, can I get the tracking number on that?
Can I get the tracking number?
Can I?
Can I know?
Can I know when that's gonna get delivered?
No.
All right, so you guys,
Jesus Cares Board Practical Activation.
Write it down.
I gave you the categories.
If you need them again,
a lot of them began with the letter C.
Confusing, concerning.
Those were two of them for sure.
The desires of your heart.
Breakthroughs, promises, things you're believing for.
People is a big category.
Areas of transformation that you need.
Any and all things.
Put it down.
And then we're gonna exchange, right?
We're like, hey Jesus, this is now under your care.
Not mine.
Yours.
And you guys, I keep my Jesus Cares Board very visible
so that when I walk by it,
I remember that that stuff doesn't belong to me anymore.
Now it belongs to Jesus.
Okay?
And as soon as I find myself worried about it,
I remind myself,
go stand in front of the Cares Board and remind myself
that I can live light, free, at peace, expectant
because I've given it to him.
And so you guys, you can do this however you want.
Get a board like me.
Get Post-its, whatever.
A notebook, notes app, doesn't matter.
All that matters is you get it out of your mind
and onto paper.
And then you just say, Jesus,
hey, I'm releasing this into your care.
And when the thought comes back in your head to worry about it, you're like, nope, that's
in the care of Jesus.
And trust me, you guys, if God needs your help on solving any of those problems, he
will let you know.
He will let you know.
Remember our old word that we're still operating on for the whole year, the siege is over,
the siege is over, y'all.
We're not going to live like this anymore.
No more living in suffering.
We are going to live celebrating.
Amen?
Amen.
Okay, so you write it down, you release it out loud, and then you just stop picking it
back up.
And then you get to use all of that mental bandwidth that you're using to worry to think
about something else.
How about dreams?
How about dreaming a little bit?
Guys, I was really scared the other day when I sat down and I realized that I was having
a hard time picturing the future.
Like I was having a hard time, how do I explain this?
I realized that I have a really vivid imagination, and a lot of you do as well.
I had a hard time imagining something amazing and cool happening, but I had a very easy
time imagining something bad happening.
And I was like, what the heck's wrong with me?
And I realized that I had just really been so stressed out and so bogged down that my
mind was kind of set on the negative, and it was really easy for me to imagine everything
going wrong.
It was really easy for me to imagine worst case scenarios and bad things, like vividly
imagine those things as if I'm there.
But it was not easy for me to imagine the dreams of my heart coming true.
It wasn't easy for me imagining the same situation going the opposite direction, going
a good direction, going a healthy direction.
It was easy for me to imagine losing, but it wasn't easy for me to imagine winning.
Anybody else?
Okay.
All right, you guys, it's time.
We're not going to continue to suffer.
We're not going to continue to torment.
At some point, we're just tormenting ourselves, replaying, rechecking, trying to figure it
out.
I know it feels productive, but it's not.
It's just exhausting.
Remember, if you could change it, you would, and you can't change it.
So why are we going to worry about it?
Talking to myself.
The siege is over, friends.
That's our word for the entire year.
So if you're stuck in mental loops, same thoughts, same fears, same internal conversations, it's
time to put those on your Post-its and put them up.
We're stepping out of that cycle, out of torment, out of mental exhaustion, overthinking, and
we're going to step into peace and trust and freedom.
Amen?
Okay, let's see some stuff.
Some of y'all just super negative, even in the comments.
Y'all really need this message.
I love you.
I've been there with you.
I'm not judging you.
I'm just telling you, you're like being a contrarian to the wrong situation.
This is a word of encouragement.
God's trying to encourage us.
He's also trying to get us to shift our behavior and people up in the comments just still commiserating
and commiserating with each other.
Yeah, me too.
Life is so bad and terrible.
I promise you that if everyone in the world, listen up for those of you that are just fighting
this message because I love you and I'm pulling for you.
If everyone in the whole entire world put their problem on a piece of paper and put
it in a big giant bowl and then all of us were invited to come and just pick a problem
out and that's going to be your new problem.
If everyone in the world has put their problem in this bowl and all of us are invited to
blindly come and reach in, you don't got your problems anymore.
You're going to get the problems of whatever you pull out of there.
I guarantee you that none of you would participate.
You would keep your own problem because there are some problems in this world that are way,
way, way, way worse than ours and we would not want to randomly choose a problem from
that bowl.
Amen?
Am I wrong?
And some of you are going through some very serious things and I'm not downplaying that.
I'm not and we love you and we're with you.
We have a lady in our community that was just diagnosed with leukemia.
She tried to leave the program because she couldn't afford it anymore. And I said,
Oh no, honey, you're now here for free for life because you need us more than ever.
And we will support you and we will surround you and we will be with you.
And so father, right now we pray for her God. And we declare like so many of her brothers
and sisters in this program before her, that she will be healed in Jesus name.
She will be healed fully, completely by her next doctor's appointment. They will see no trace
of any disease in her blood in the name of Jesus. We declare it in Jesus name.
And so Laura, we thank you for it. Friends, God is for us. He's not against us. That means life
is for us. It's not against us. So Jesus, we give you everything that we've been carrying right now,
each and every one of us, the things we don't understand, the things we're worried about
constantly, the things we fear. God, we also just give you the people that we love, the things that
we can't fix, the outcomes that we're trying to control, but we can't. We cast it on you.
We release it into your care because you care for us. Teach us, show us, heal us, grow us.
We need your help. We need you to show us how to live as if we are truly and fully loved
and truly cared for. We're not used to this. It's not been our experience in our human life
with our human people. And so, Laura, we need you to show us even this week, show each and every
person here and everyone who's watching and listening on replay that they are truly cared
for, that they're truly loved. Show them evidence, evidence as they release things into your care.
Let there be speedy resolution on some of those things. Let some of those things get resolved
quickly. Let supernatural provision come. Let supernatural peace come. Let stuff happen
that is undeniable that you are with us and that you're helping us and that we don't have to suffer
that we can celebrate. We choose peace today. We choose celebration today. We want to trust you,
Lord. We want to believe. Help our unbelief in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, y'all. I love you
so much. Post your Jesus Cares boards in the group. We want to see them. See you soon.
