WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.160 Welcome to Supernatural Saturday. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:06.160 Better late than never. 3 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:07.160 We are here today. 4 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.200 And it's going to be a short one today, you guys, because I'm traveling. 5 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.200 I'm out in California. 6 00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:13.400 And what am I doing out here? 7 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.360 Well, I hope to have a few days of vacation. 8 00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:23.560 My youngest child and her husband are with us, but I'm out here to get a deposit. 9 00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:26.520 Because it's really important that we all get deposits. 10 00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.000 And I know you're like, well, Jackie, you know a lot already. 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.760 Yeah, that's how I know a lot already. 12 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.780 Because I do not, I take every opportunity to get a deposit. 13 00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:41.760 I do not think that I'm above deposits. 14 00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:46.160 And the reason why I say that is I have had leaders in my life that thought that they 15 00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:49.520 got too big for their britches, as my grandpa would say. 16 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.200 They got a little too big for their britches, okay? 17 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.680 That's what my grandpa would say when we were little kids and we were running around and 18 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.120 he would tell us something and we would talk back. 19 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.640 He'd say, excuse me, you're getting a little too big for your britches there, right? 20 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:06.960 And I have known people. 21 00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.080 I have known leaders. 22 00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:12.240 Perhaps you're a leader at your work or at your church. 23 00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:15.040 Maybe you're the leader in your family. 24 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.640 You know, in my family, a lot of people look to me for answers about things. 25 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.200 Not just my children, but my extended family. 26 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.560 The bottom line is, is that just because we lead people and we should all be leading 27 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:31.420 someone and your cat doesn't count, okay? 28 00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:33.920 Your cat, your dog, they don't count. 29 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.880 We should all be leading someone and we probably all are. 30 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:39.120 People are looking up to us. 31 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.960 People that you don't even realize are looking up to you are looking up to you. 32 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.920 So as we're leading people, we should also be allowing people to lead us. 33 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.920 We all need to be led, all of us. 34 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.680 And so I'm out here getting a deposit because I'm not too big for my britches and I know 35 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.480 that I need to continue, like continuing education, right? 36 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.640 When you're in any kind of field of work, you get continuing education. 37 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.320 If you're a stylist, they make you do so many hours of continuing education. 38 00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:14.680 If you are a medical professional, a doctor, a nurse, they make you do so many hours of 39 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:15.840 continuing education. 40 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.680 If you're a teacher, they make you do so many hours of continuing education. 41 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:20.680 Why? 42 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.680 Because they don't want you to get stale. 43 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.640 They don't want you to get dull. 44 00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:26.440 They want you to stay sharp like a knife. 45 00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:29.560 All of you that have knives at home that you've never sharpened, guess what? 46 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.920 Those knives are pretty dull, aren't they? 47 00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:34.280 They are. 48 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.760 You've been opening packages with them. 49 00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:39.040 You've been cutting roast with them. 50 00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:42.720 You've been doing all kinds of stuff with them and they get really dull. 51 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:47.480 You guys, I will grab any sharp object when I'm opening a package, it doesn't matter 52 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:48.480 what it is. 53 00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:59.600 A car key, check, a knife, check, the end of a separation comb, check. 54 00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:01.480 I've done it all. 55 00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:08.700 If you don't sharpen it, the knives, they will get dull and then they won't cut anything. 56 00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:13.500 You guys, the last thing that any of us wants to be is dull, right? 57 00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:15.220 We do not want to be dull. 58 00:03:15.220 --> 00:03:21.780 So I'm out here getting poured into and I'm very thankful that I have people in my life 59 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:29.300 that I can look up to that are further ahead on the road than me in areas. 60 00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:35.420 Now this same group of people that I come out here once a year to gather with and pour 61 00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:37.700 into each other, it's reciprocal. 62 00:03:37.700 --> 00:03:42.580 So they have some things that they pour into me that they're way ahead on the road than 63 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:46.180 I am and then I have some things to pour into them. 64 00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:48.140 I have some spiritual truth to pour into them. 65 00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:50.220 I'm kind of known as the prophet of this group. 66 00:03:50.220 --> 00:03:58.860 So I bring a lot of the spiritual upgrade here to this same group that is helping me 67 00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:03.340 to upgrade and that's beautiful and that's the way it should be. 68 00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:06.780 Now there are obviously relationships in your life where you don't feel like you can give 69 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.940 a lot back in that season and that's okay. 70 00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:14.180 You can pay it forward, but then there'll be other relationships where they have a lot 71 00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:18.440 to offer you and you have a lot to offer them and those are the relationships that we want 72 00:04:18.440 --> 00:04:20.700 most of all. 73 00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:22.620 Those are the relationships that we're looking for. 74 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:26.260 All right, so we're going to have a grab bag this morning of a bunch of different things, 75 00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:32.180 but I will tell you that God was speaking to me and he was talking to me about the year 76 00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:38.100 And I just want to release this over you and I think this will encourage a lot of you. 77 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:43.420 But the beginning and really this didn't start in 2026, it really started in 2025, but a 78 00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:51.500 lot of people have been going through some chaotic stuff, some confusing stuff maybe. 79 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.300 Perhaps you keep waiting for things to get better. 80 00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:58.980 You keep waiting for things to get easier. 81 00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.100 And the Lord really 82 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.560 It was showing me that the second half of this year, which by the way, starts July 2nd. 83 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.280 So this coming week, we're going to hit the halfway point. 84 00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:13.760 We're going to hit the tipping point, if you will, of 2026. 85 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.840 The second half of this year is going to be a more accelerated portion of time. 86 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:24.640 The first half of this year, hopefully, now I can't say that this applies to you 87 00:05:24.640 --> 00:05:25.960 because I don't know what you've been doing. 88 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:28.740 I don't live in your house. 89 00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:29.840 I don't know what you've been doing. 90 00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:32.500 Okay, so I'll put that disclaimer on this. 91 00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:41.000 But the first half of this year for a lot of people has been a time of pruning. 92 00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:43.060 It's been a time of aligning. 93 00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:46.220 It's been a time of making some decisions. 94 00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:51.220 It may have even been a time of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. 95 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:56.620 And making a decision that, hey, I'm not going to live like this anymore. 96 00:05:56.860 --> 00:05:57.980 I'm going to do something different. 97 00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:02.940 I definitely know that that has been my situation. 98 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:06.620 There have been some things that I put off. 99 00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:10.100 I put off last year. 100 00:06:10.100 --> 00:06:12.260 I put off the year before last year, so 24. 101 00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:13.460 I put off last year. 102 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:17.500 And at the beginning of this year, I'm like, I'm not going to put this off anymore. 103 00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:24.220 And then I asked myself the even deeper question, why, Jackie, are you putting this off? 104 00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:26.300 What are you afraid of? 105 00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:31.600 And friends, anytime you're hesitating to do something, you need to ask yourself that question. 106 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:32.200 Why? 107 00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:33.600 Why am I hesitating to do this? 108 00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:36.000 Why am I, what am I afraid of? 109 00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:39.800 What's causing me to not be able to go forward here? 110 00:06:43.700 --> 00:06:47.400 Remember, I teach you in heart work that the most important thing you can do is ask questions. 111 00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:52.600 I know that we're all out here to get answers, but you're never going to get answers until you start asking the right questions. 112 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.900 And the right questions are vulnerable questions. 113 00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.900 They're really honest questions. 114 00:06:58.900 --> 00:07:02.000 You're not trying to word it in a way that doesn't make you feel embarrassed. 115 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.700 It doesn't make you feel less than. 116 00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:05.500 It doesn't make you feel behind. 117 00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:11.200 You're not trying to word it in a way that, you know, doesn't make you feel like a bad person or someone who's in sin. 118 00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:13.800 Just get honest. 119 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.400 You're not asking this to a human. 120 00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:22.100 I mean, God may lead you to ask it to another human, but right now you're just asking it to God. 121 00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.200 Hey, God, why do I do this? 122 00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:24.300 Why am I like this? 123 00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:33.300 I think I talked about this maybe a couple years ago on Supernatural Saturday, but I'll go ahead and repeat it right now. 124 00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:37.500 I have had a real problem with fear since I was a child. 125 00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:41.800 And for those of you that know my story, you can see why. 126 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.800 I came into this world running for my life. 127 00:07:44.900 --> 00:07:51.800 I was born into a place of complete fear and distrust and danger. 128 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:58.600 And so my nervous system, as we know now, we know that we have these things called nervous systems. 129 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.300 It was dysregulated from day one. 130 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.400 From day one, my little body didn't know what to do or who to trust, could not relax, couldn't calm down. 131 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.800 And so I had a real issue with fear. 132 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.700 And when I came to Jesus in my 20s, it didn't magically get better. 133 00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:19.600 Because God had to teach me via his spirit, how to trust, how to relax, how to let things go. 134 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:27.100 And I'd love to tell you that I don't deal with anxiety anymore, but it's not true. 135 00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:35.100 But I do know that when I deal with anxiety now, when it comes, when I start to feel that familiar feeling of tension and, 136 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.400 you know, just evil foreboding, there's really no other word for it. 137 00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:47.000 When I feel that coming, I start to get curious instead of afraid. 138 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.400 When I feel those feelings, I get curious about it. 139 00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:52.200 Like, hey, what's triggering this right now? 140 00:08:53.400 --> 00:08:55.200 Why all of a sudden do I feel like this? 141 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.500 Why all of a sudden am I not sleeping at night? 142 00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:59.400 I'm laying here awake, worrying about this. 143 00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:00.600 Like what has changed? 144 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.500 What is it that's triggering this right now? 145 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:03.900 I'm laying here awake, worrying about this. 146 00:09:03.900 --> 00:09:05.100 Like what has changed? 147 00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:06.100 What has shifted? 148 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.000 God's still the same, isn't he? 149 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.900 Yes, yesterday, today, and forever. 150 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.500 Have my circumstances changed? 151 00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:13.500 No, not really. 152 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.000 Am I forecasting some sort of doom and gloom that's coming? 153 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.700 Yeah, I am. 154 00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:18.600 But why? 155 00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:20.000 Why am I doing that? 156 00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:23.900 And you start asking yourself those questions and you'll be amazed at the answers that start coming. 157 00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:26.500 You're like, Jackie, what would be the good of asking a question? 158 00:09:26.800 --> 00:09:28.300 Because that's how you get an answer. 159 00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:31.000 And the answers come in the craziest ways. 160 00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:33.900 They just start showing up, don't they? 161 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:41.000 They start showing up in something that you read or something that you see or something that someone else tells you. 162 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.700 Not because you asked another human person the question, but because you asked it to God. 163 00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:50.900 You asked it to God. 164 00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:53.300 You asked him out loud. 165 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:59.000 You gave him permission to give you wisdom. 166 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.100 You gave him permission. 167 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.760 in to bring the truth. 168 00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:09.960 And when you do that, the truth starts coming. 169 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:10.960 It starts coming. 170 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:11.960 It starts showing up. 171 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.240 And then it's up to you whether or not you're going to embrace it. 172 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.480 Are you going to embrace the truth? 173 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.680 Are you going to accept the truth? 174 00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:24.800 Because I'm going to tell you a lot of times the truth is not something that you want to 175 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:27.360 hear. 176 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.360 Is that true? 177 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.840 Remember that old saying, the truth will set you free, but first it's going to piss you 178 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.840 off. 179 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.120 Yeah, it is. 180 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.120 Just so you know. 181 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:43.920 Because the truth about yourself isn't always easy to hear. 182 00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:49.120 I remember one time I was told the truth about myself, and this just happened to be being 183 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.400 told to me by another human, a person. 184 00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:55.040 And I didn't like it. 185 00:10:55.040 --> 00:10:58.160 I didn't like what was being said. 186 00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:02.320 Because I had already been working on that area of myself for a long time, for what 187 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.360 felt like forever. 188 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:09.000 And this was kind of a pastor figure in my life, and he said, well, blah, blah, blah. 189 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.080 And I was like, are you kidding me? 190 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.140 Literally, you guys, that was my response. 191 00:11:15.140 --> 00:11:22.200 In his office, in my late 20s, I'm like, are you kidding me right now? 192 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.160 He said what he said. 193 00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:28.840 And I was like, how? 194 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:29.840 How can that be true? 195 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:35.120 I have been working on this area for years, and you're basically telling me that I'm making 196 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.480 no progress. 197 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.120 It was so frustrating. 198 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:46.320 And I will tell you, I was so disrespectful in that moment, and I did not care. 199 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.160 Because I was really angry. 200 00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:54.520 I was really angry because I felt like I wasn't making any progress, any noticeable progress. 201 00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:56.000 I had surrendered that area. 202 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.880 I had asked God for help in that area. 203 00:11:57.880 --> 00:12:00.280 I had gone into the prayer lines and been prayed for. 204 00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:01.280 I had fasted. 205 00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:02.280 I had read the Bible. 206 00:12:02.280 --> 00:12:05.280 I had done the things. 207 00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:11.160 But what I hadn't done is I hadn't surrendered to let God do the work. 208 00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:13.960 I was still trying to fix myself. 209 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:15.640 And that was the thing, y'all. 210 00:12:15.640 --> 00:12:16.640 I was trying to fix myself. 211 00:12:16.640 --> 00:12:22.480 So I'm going to save you guys a lot of trouble, just to let you know, you can't fix yourself. 212 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.120 But when you find out the truth about yourself, you can surrender that to God, and you can 213 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.960 say, hey, I don't want to live like this. 214 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.280 I don't want to be like this. 215 00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:32.720 So I'm giving you permission. 216 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:36.400 Remember, supernatural surrender is the first thing we do in heart work. 217 00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:40.880 Look, there's some more complicated inner healings out there. 218 00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:41.880 I'll be honest with you. 219 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:46.440 There's some more complicated inner healings, meaning that you got to take an inventory 220 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.840 of your whole family genealogy. 221 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.600 You got to go to the courts of heaven. 222 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.600 You got to go to some big, huge courtroom. 223 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.280 And for those of you that are into the courts of heaven, I'm not knocking it. 224 00:12:56.280 --> 00:13:02.120 I'm just telling you that there's more complicated stuff out there. 225 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.960 But the heart work works because it's very simple. 226 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:09.000 It puts all the emphasis on God and not on you. 227 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.760 Remember, we don't get out the shovel. 228 00:13:10.760 --> 00:13:14.360 We don't start digging, looking for all the problems with us. 229 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:15.980 We give permission. 230 00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:19.100 That permission slip at the beginning is there for a reason. 231 00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:24.420 And if you have to dig out your heart work and you have to re-sign that permission slip, 232 00:13:24.420 --> 00:13:29.860 so to speak, in the spirit realm, if you have to re-sign it every day, and you can print 233 00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:37.120 it out and re-sign it physically, but what I mean is that if you have to give God permission 234 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.180 every single day to teach you, show you, heal you, grow you, then so be it. 235 00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:47.540 And honestly, that's not a bad practice. 236 00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:49.780 But it can't become a ritual. 237 00:13:49.780 --> 00:14:02.980 It can't just become something that you say, like grace over your food, right? 238 00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:07.600 Some chant, I remember we had little graces. 239 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:15.220 My mom's last husband that she married before she passed was a Catholic, and he had a little 240 00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:17.260 prayer for everything. 241 00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:22.100 Teach me, show me, heal me, grow me can't be just something that you recite. 242 00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.900 It has to be something that you really mean. 243 00:14:23.900 --> 00:14:30.700 You're asking God, you're saying, I'm open to being taught. 244 00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:34.740 Even if it means that you have to tell me I'm too big for my britches. 245 00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:42.540 I'm open to being shown what's in the way or the way, the way, the way to go. 246 00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:46.060 I'm open to healing, even in the places that I've been guarding. 247 00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:47.060 Yeah, that's right. 248 00:14:47.060 --> 00:14:48.540 We guard our hurting places. 249 00:14:48.540 --> 00:14:51.340 We guard those places. 250 00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:55.900 And even though we're saying that we want healing in those places, a lot of times we're 251 00:14:55.900 --> 00:14:58.020 the one that's in the way of that healing. 252 00:14:58.020 --> 00:14:59.740 We're the one that's blocking that healing. 253 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.840 Because we don't want anyone or anything to touch it. 254 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.920 You ever do that when you were a little kid, you had a boo-boo, and here comes help. 255 00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:19.360 Here comes mom, dad, aunt, uncle, you know, grandma, grandpa, whoever, babysitter, and 256 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:24.920 they're like, let me look at it, and you're like, no. 257 00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:25.920 Let me clean it. 258 00:15:25.920 --> 00:15:26.920 No, no, no. 259 00:15:26.920 --> 00:15:32.000 We won't let them touch the boo-boo. 260 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.000 We won't let them see the boo-boo. 261 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.280 Why? 262 00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:36.880 Because it hurts. 263 00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:41.680 It hurts already, and now we think it's going to hurt more if we let anyone help it or fix 264 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:44.200 it. 265 00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:49.480 So when you say heal me, sometimes you're signing up for some more pain. 266 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:55.240 In fact, oftentimes it's going to hurt to heal. 267 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:59.160 And I promise you that at the beginning of hard work, I say, hey, listen, I'm not promising 268 00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:04.000 you that this is going to feel good, especially if you've been putting it off. 269 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.440 I'm not promising you that you're not going to experience some pain, physical pain, emotional 270 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:12.000 pain, spiritual pain, psychological pain. 271 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:16.920 Not going to promise you that you're not going to relive some things, because some people, 272 00:16:16.920 --> 00:16:17.920 they compartmentalize. 273 00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:20.680 As soon as something happens, they're like, oh, I don't like that. 274 00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:23.440 I'm going to come over here, I'm going to stick this in this box, and I'm never going 275 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.360 to look at it again. 276 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.240 And I was always amazed at those people. 277 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.840 I was like, wow, how can they do that? 278 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.840 How can they disassociate like that? 279 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:42.040 But friends, just because it's out of sight does not mean it's out of heart. 280 00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:45.220 And whatever's in the heart is what's going to give you the quality of your life. 281 00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:49.000 Out of the quality of your heart comes the quality of your life. 282 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:58.040 So we have to diffuse these bombs before they go off. 283 00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:04.520 And so when we're saying, heal me, we're giving God permission to get in those boxes. 284 00:17:04.520 --> 00:17:07.319 We're giving him permission to bring that stuff to the surface. 285 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.440 I'll never forget the day that I went down to the altar. 286 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:15.520 I was in so much pain, so much pain emotionally. 287 00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.280 I had so many things going on. 288 00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:19.280 This was about 15 years ago. 289 00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:24.319 And I raised my hands at the altar in a church service, and I just said, you know, I forget 290 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.079 what song was playing, but I was like, God, I want you to do that. 291 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:34.960 Oh, it was like, it was that song, you know, actually, it's probably about 10 years ago. 292 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:41.520 And it was that song, you go before I know, you've even gone to win my war, you come back 293 00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:44.960 with the head of my enemy, and you call it my victory. 294 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.400 And I'm like, God, I need you to bring me the head of my enemies. 295 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.800 And not humans, guys, I'm talking about the things that were tormenting me. 296 00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:54.640 And God said, I'd love to do that. 297 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.560 He's like, but you have to step out of the way. 298 00:17:56.560 --> 00:17:59.080 And I'm like, what? 299 00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:02.000 Here I am thinking I'm having this beautiful worship moment with God where I'm going to 300 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:08.320 get all emotional, and I'm going to say emotional things that you could write in some, you know, 301 00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:11.680 really sad session of poetry. 302 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.560 And I'm like, God, like, like, like, David, oh, my soul is tormented. 303 00:18:17.560 --> 00:18:21.520 You know, I'm out there being dramatic and doing the things and God's like, oh, hey, 304 00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:22.520 I'd love to do that. 305 00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:25.640 But you got to step out of the way, I got to step out of the way. 306 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.640 What do you mean? 307 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:31.040 And he's like, you're guarding these areas, the areas that you're being tormented in, 308 00:18:31.040 --> 00:18:32.660 you're guarding them. 309 00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:36.160 You're standing in the way of deliverance for yourself, because you don't want these 310 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.120 areas touched. 311 00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:43.720 You say you do, but you're not allowing them to be vacated. 312 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:48.200 You're not allowing these squatters to be evicted. 313 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:54.220 And what he was mainly talking about was the spirit of fear, fear of man, fear of all kinds 314 00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:55.920 of stuff. 315 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.600 He was talking about rejection that I was holding on to from childhood. 316 00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:12.480 He's like, oh, yeah, you know, you become a refuge of rejection, like you. 317 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.760 And so we have to look at that when that happens. 318 00:19:16.760 --> 00:19:21.360 We can't just say things to say things. 319 00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:26.000 We have to make sure that we're following that up with real action. 320 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.640 I was guarding those places. 321 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:37.440 I was familiar with that pain and torment, and therefore I was allowing it to stay. 322 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.040 I didn't know that, not consciously, but I did after that moment. 323 00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:48.880 And so my prayers started changing and my actions started changing. 324 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.480 And then grow me, of course. 325 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.920 Anyone else ever have growing pains when you're a kid, especially in your shins and your legs, 326 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:57.920 your arms? 327 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.040 I did, because I'm 5'10". 328 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.400 Maybe some of y'all didn't grow enough to have a growing pain, but I did. 329 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:05.400 I was like Gumby. 330 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.520 It's like five, eight by the fifth grade. 331 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:15.440 I know about some growing pains, but friends, when we do grow, regardless of 332 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:21.560 what it, what that means, whether it's physically as a child, whether it's 333 00:20:21.560 --> 00:20:27.240 growing in a role at work, some of you have taken on big things, not just in 334 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:31.400 your jobs, but in your ministries, you've taken on big things in your families. 335 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:35.640 That stuff will stretch you and being stretched does not feel fun. 336 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:36.120 Does it? 337 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.400 It doesn't feel fun. 338 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:43.240 Being stretched hurts. 339 00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:48.920 And so when you're saying, teach me, show me, heal me, grow me, you are 340 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:50.640 giving God permission to stretch you. 341 00:20:51.600 --> 00:20:52.400 And what does that mean? 342 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.560 That means that you're going to be out of your comfort zone. 343 00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:58.000 You're going to be put in situations that make you feel uncomfortable, that 344 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.240 make you feel unqualified, disqualified, even maybe not just unqualified, maybe 345 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:10.360 disqualified, some of you don't realize it, but your divorce has given you a 346 00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:12.880 pervasive sense of disqualification. 347 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.360 You say that you don't believe what the church says about divorce. 348 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.840 You say that you don't believe that your divorce was your fault because, you 349 00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:24.400 know, you're still blaming the other person because they were the bigger 350 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:33.840 villain, they were the bigger villain in the story, but inside your heart, you 351 00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.760 still have adopted disqualification. 352 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:40.120 And you know who can sense it? 353 00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:42.880 Everybody you go on a date with or don't go on a date with. 354 00:21:43.320 --> 00:21:44.960 It's part of the reason why you're not on dates. 355 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.240 And it's part of the reason why your dates don't work out because you're 356 00:21:48.280 --> 00:21:50.480 actually telling people that you're damaged goods. 357 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.600 You don't know you are, but you are. 358 00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:57.400 Come on. 359 00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:59.160 That's a word for someone. 360 00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:01.840 And that's all right. 361 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.040 And some of you have disqualified yourself for other reasons. 362 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.520 And listen, I'm not saying that you don't need to get healthy. 363 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.840 You know that that's not my mantra. 364 00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:15.080 Some of you just had a girl's night with Renee and hopefully she talked about 365 00:22:15.080 --> 00:22:17.160 health and wellness and different things. 366 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.520 And I'm telling you right now, you do need to get healthy. 367 00:22:19.520 --> 00:22:21.080 Gentlemen, ladies, you do. 368 00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:26.040 In fact, this group that is pouring into me and I'm pouring into them that I come 369 00:22:26.040 --> 00:22:32.360 out here once a year to have these upgrade times with everyone here is trying to get 370 00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:40.400 healthy together because we're all kind of in the same age bracket, forties, 371 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:47.280 fifties, and we know that if you don't do something about it now, it's not 372 00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:48.360 going to get easier later. 373 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.160 You got to do it. 374 00:22:52.760 --> 00:22:54.200 And so you've disqualified yourself. 375 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.240 Look, you've given up on yourself, but you want someone else to believe in you. 376 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.200 You've given up on yourself, but you want someone else to come and sign up. 377 00:23:03.760 --> 00:23:04.880 Does that make any sense? 378 00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:08.800 That's not really good sales tactic. 379 00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:13.040 Come buy my thing that I don't even believe in. 380 00:23:14.040 --> 00:23:18.000 My middle son-in-law, my middle daughter, she married a guy who went to business 381 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.000 school, he went to college for business. 382 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.080 And then when he graduated, he ended up his first job, promise you, 383 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.560 selling tools at Home Depot. 384 00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:32.080 If you've ever seen those pop-ups at Home Depot, a certain brand of tools will 385 00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:35.760 have a pop-up and then they'll have their, you know, their power tools out 386 00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:36.480 and different things. 387 00:23:36.800 --> 00:23:40.240 Well, you know, my middle son-in-law had never used a power tool in his life. 388 00:23:40.280 --> 00:23:45.520 And he's out there trying to sell power tools to men that use power tools. 389 00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:50.760 And he definitely did not believe in his product because he had never vetted his 390 00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:51.480 product out. 391 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.040 And I went to Home Depot a couple of times because they lived in Austin at the 392 00:23:55.040 --> 00:23:55.440 time. 393 00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.280 And I would just go by, you know, say hi to him, whatever, bring him something. 394 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:01.920 Cause I knew it was a really boring job and I knew he didn't like it. 395 00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:03.080 And it was very apparent. 396 00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:04.600 He wasn't selling any tools. 397 00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:06.320 And the reason why is because he didn't like it. 398 00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:07.280 He didn't want to sell it. 399 00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:10.120 Some of you, your only problem in your singleness, and hopefully you're reading 400 00:24:10.120 --> 00:24:13.400 my book, Modern Dating Sucks, even if you didn't join the book club, you're 401 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.480 reading the book, has a lot of really good field experience, really good advice in 402 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.520 this book, practical advice on how to change this whole situation and have a 403 00:24:21.520 --> 00:24:22.280 summer of love. 404 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.960 But some of you have to start believing in your product before you get back out 405 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.360 there. 406 00:24:29.280 --> 00:24:32.000 Because you guys, when we are dating, we are selling ourselves. 407 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.080 We are selling ourselves. 408 00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:34.120 We are selling ourselves. 409 00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.120 Because you guys, when we are dating, we are selling ourselves. 410 00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:39.040 We are, whether you like it or not, you are. 411 00:24:39.040 --> 00:24:42.000 And if you don't believe in yourself, you're not going to be a good salesperson. 412 00:24:42.280 --> 00:24:46.440 What you're really hoping for is someone to come along and see things in you that 413 00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:48.440 you don't even see in yourself. 414 00:24:51.080 --> 00:24:53.000 You're hoping to be rescued still. 415 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.840 That's what you're looking for. 416 00:24:54.840 --> 00:25:00.040 You're looking for someone to come and to see how lovable and how amazing. 417 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:10.920 you are and just against all odds choose you, turn off the TV, turn it off because I'm going 418 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960 to tell you right now, anyone, the majority of the time, there might be an exception to 419 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:21.080 this, but the majority of the time that someone comes and they show up and they start inflating 420 00:25:21.080 --> 00:25:25.360 your ego and start telling you how wonderful you are and you don't even know that about 421 00:25:25.360 --> 00:25:30.200 yourself, you have low self-esteem, but they start esteeming you, it's because they want 422 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:36.040 something and it's not going to turn out well. 423 00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:37.640 They can see an easy mark. 424 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:45.280 They can see an easy mark from a mile away and ladies, this especially applies to you. 425 00:25:45.280 --> 00:25:52.880 Women with low self-esteem attract predators and you better hear me. 426 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:58.760 Women with low self-esteem attract predators. 427 00:25:58.760 --> 00:26:03.880 I had a client, some of you were here when she was in this program. 428 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:05.880 She was one of the hardest clients I've ever had. 429 00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.780 I've had three hard, hard, hard clients. 430 00:26:09.780 --> 00:26:13.840 She was one of the hardest students that then became a private coaching client that I ever 431 00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:16.400 had because she was so negative. 432 00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.240 She had been obese since she was a kid. 433 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.880 She had been overweight since she was a kid and now she was a grown woman and she was 434 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:27.200 bordering on obese, probably not just overweight and she was convinced that she could not lose 435 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.040 weight, that she had some kind of metabolism problem, this, that, the other. 436 00:26:32.040 --> 00:26:34.800 Okay, she was successful in other areas of her life. 437 00:26:34.800 --> 00:26:37.680 She was successful in her career, different things. 438 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.520 She was divorced. 439 00:26:38.520 --> 00:26:40.280 She had been married, divorced. 440 00:26:40.280 --> 00:26:43.120 The man had cheated on her, wasn't a good situation. 441 00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:50.400 She had grown adult children and she did not believe that there were men out there that 442 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:58.160 did not, that wanted women that looked like her for anything more than sex. 443 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:05.720 She said, I've never had any luck dating any man because all they want is sex immediately. 444 00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.720 I meet them on a dating app. 445 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:09.120 They immediately start talking about sex to me. 446 00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:12.960 They immediately start talking this and that, completely disrespectful, blah, blah, blah, 447 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.960 blah, blah, and it's because I'm fat. 448 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:17.880 That's what she told me. 449 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.200 I said, no, no, it's not because you're fat. 450 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:24.800 I said, cause listen, friends, once again, you got to take care of yourself. 451 00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:25.480 Great. 452 00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:26.360 You got to love yourself. 453 00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:26.840 Great. 454 00:27:26.840 --> 00:27:29.920 Whatever that looks like for you, it needs to start happening. 455 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.920 But she had this negative attitude and because of the things that had happened to her, she 456 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.440 did not love herself. 457 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.960 She deeply disliked herself. 458 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.920 I'm not going to say she hated herself, but she deeply disliked herself. 459 00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.120 And so during coaching, I focused on heart work. 460 00:27:45.120 --> 00:27:46.960 I focused on her childhood. 461 00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:49.200 I focused on the abandonment that she went through. 462 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.800 I focused on the things behind the things because a lot of times it's not fat friends, 463 00:27:52.800 --> 00:27:54.400 it's hurt. 464 00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.520 That's what's happening here. 465 00:27:55.520 --> 00:27:59.640 Your body's holding on to weight, emotional weight and physical weight. 466 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:05.280 And we started working and it was hard for me, you guys, because she was very, very negative 467 00:28:05.280 --> 00:28:08.960 and it was like me in that pastor's office. 468 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:10.880 She just wouldn't see the light. 469 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.880 She refused to see it. 470 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.640 It's like, oh no. 471 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:22.320 And so I felt like every single conversation was like that Groundhog Days movie. 472 00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:25.440 I'm saying the same thing over and over again and she's not getting it. 473 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.120 But then something started to shift. 474 00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:29.120 Something started to happen. 475 00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:31.360 I started to see difference in her. 476 00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:34.240 I started to see her attitude start to change. 477 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:35.240 And guess what? 478 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:36.240 She started to lose a few pounds. 479 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.160 Did she become like a skinny legend? 480 00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.280 No, she didn't become a skinny legend. 481 00:28:41.280 --> 00:28:50.360 In fact, even now, she's married by the way, even now she's definitely overweight, but 482 00:28:50.360 --> 00:28:51.960 she started looking different. 483 00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:52.960 She started glowing. 484 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.800 Her attitude towards men started changing. 485 00:28:55.800 --> 00:28:57.000 They weren't all animals. 486 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.080 And I told her, look, I'm just going to tell you right now, I have clients that are overweight, 487 00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:07.960 maybe even morbidly overweight that have gotten married through this program. 488 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:09.600 So what you're saying doesn't add up. 489 00:29:09.600 --> 00:29:14.920 I know that you believe that men only want beautiful, thin women. 490 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.000 That's the only women that they want. 491 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:22.880 And the guys that come trying to date women like you are just bad guys who just want sex 492 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:24.680 and just want to use and abuse you. 493 00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:29.880 But the reason why she was attracting those men was because she didn't believe that she 494 00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:30.880 had any value. 495 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.240 So she was attracting people that believed that she only had one value. 496 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.000 She believed that, therefore she was attracting it. 497 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:43.680 And as she began to change, what she attracted began to change. 498 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:48.880 And then she attracted her now husband, who was kind and gentle and wonderful from the 499 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:49.880 very beginning. 500 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:51.360 They are now married. 501 00:29:51.360 --> 00:29:55.080 He's also a wonderful bonus dad to her adult children who have no relationship with their 502 00:29:55.080 --> 00:29:56.840 biological father. 503 00:29:56.840 --> 00:29:59.960 And she just posted, I haven't seen her in a while. 504 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:04.000 just posted on one of my Instagram posts the other day, 505 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.660 talking about how happily married 506 00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:07.460 and how wonderful her life is. 507 00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.380 Come on, y'all. 508 00:30:09.660 -->

about yourself 512 00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:23.400 that's making you fat just might. 513 00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:28.540 Are you hearing me? 514 00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.960 Are you hearing me? 515

527 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:09.160 That ain't one of their fish. 528 00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:13.520 Come on, friends. 529 00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:14.720 God has a good plan for you, 530 00:31:14.720 -->

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.400 Let Holy Spirit lead us along here today. 537 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:28.560 This is a really good message. 538 00:31:28.560 --> 00:31:29.640 You gotta grab ahold of it. 539 00:31:30.280 --> 00:31:31.120 And there's something in this message 540 00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:32.800 for every one of you. 541 00:31:32.800 --> 00:31:34.720 Every one of you, there's something here 542 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.760 for you to grab ahold of. 543 00:31:36.760 --> 00:31:37.600 Because guess what? 544 00:31:37.600 --> 00:31:39.480 July 2nd is coming. 545 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.440 It's coming real soon. 546 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:41.920 It's just a couple days away. 547 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.360 And the second half of this year 548 00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:46.600 can look very different than the first half of this year. 549 00:31:46.600 --> 00:31:47.800 Very, very different. 550 00:31:47.800 --> 00:31:48.680 And you're like, well, but Jackie, 551 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:50.040 I'm one of those people that you said 552 00:31:50.040 --> 00:31:51.040 this might not apply to 553 00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:52.120 because I haven't pruned 554 00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:54.960 and I haven't really focused on getting into alignment 555 00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.120 in 25 and the beginning of 26. 556 00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:58.440 There's still time. 557 00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:00.000 You're like, wait, wait, what do you mean? 558 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.840 The second half of the year is next week. 559 00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:02.680 So? 560 00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:07.860 A day is 1,000 years to God. 561 00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.680 Come on, y'all. 562 00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:13.440 Don't limit God. 563 00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:18.900 It can simply be about you just getting your heart 564 00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:20.600 into alignment with this. 565 00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:25.600 I'm not gonna fight you anymore, God. 566 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.120 I'm not gonna have it my way, 567 00:32:32.120 --> 00:32:35.000 which by the way, look at how that's working out for you. 568 00:32:37.800 --> 00:32:39.640 That's what I was doing. 569 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.040 I was doing it in some health things. 570 00:32:41.040 --> 00:32:42.240 I was like, no, I'm stubborn. 571 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.320 I'm gonna do it my way. 572 00:32:43.320 --> 00:32:44.140 Guess what? 573 00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:44.980 My way sucks. 574 00:32:46.760 --> 00:32:48.640 And I finally surrendered it 575 00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:50.680 and I started to see some quick progress. 576 00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:55.080 And you might have to do it every day, friends, 577 00:32:55.080 --> 00:32:56.760 that whole permission, 578 00:32:56.760 --> 00:32:58.760 that whole teach me, show me, heal me, grow me. 579 00:32:58.760 --> 00:33:00.360 So for those of you that have been around for a while, 580 00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:01.480 go dig out your heart workbook, 581 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:03.320 go find that permission slip, 582 00:33:03.320 --> 00:33:04.440 sign it in the spirit realm. 583 00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:05.480 Say, hey, God, once again, 584 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.240 I'm giving you permission for this. 585 00:33:08.280 --> 00:33:10.040 And for those of you that are in heart work right now, 586 00:33:10.040 --> 00:33:11.600 welcome. 587 00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:12.960 We're so glad you're here. 588 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:14.200 And guess what? 589 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.760 This is gonna be the best half year of your life 590 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.200 because the more that we give God permission, 591 00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:22.440 the more he does. 592 00:33:23.320 --> 00:33:24.920 The more we allow God, the more he does. 593 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.680 Because it's never been about what God can do. 594 00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.720 It's about what we believe he can do. 595 00:33:32.800 --> 00:33:35.720 And that belief has action. 596 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:38.120 You can't just say you believe it. 597 00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:39.680 It has to look like something. 598 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.320 If you believe something's true, 599 00:33:41.320 --> 00:33:42.560 it looks like something. 600 00:33:42.560 --> 00:33:44.160 And so Father God, I thank you for this morning. 601 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.200 I thank for each and every one of these people here, 602 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.080 your sons and your daughters. 603 00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:50.600 I thank you, God, that you are for us. 604 00:33:50.600 --> 00:33:52.320 You are not against us. 605 00:33:52.320 --> 00:33:53.600 And that means life is for us. 606 00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:55.000 It's not against us. 607 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:56.400 And if there's any area of our life 608 00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.040 where we feel like things are extra hard, 609 00:33:59.040 --> 00:34:02.080 it's because our hearts are extra hard in those areas. 610 00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:04.040 And so Lord, we're asking God that you would soften 611 00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:06.280 our hearts so that we could see truth. 612 00:34:06.280 --> 00:34:09.760 We can see our part and then we can surrender our part 613 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.080 so that you can do your part. 614 00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:14.920 Lord, you've created us to prosper. 615 00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:18.480 Even as our soul prospers and our soul has prospered 616 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.840 in Christ Jesus and the finished work of the cross. 617 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.440 And there's no reason why our lives, 618 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.880 every area of our life should not be abundant 619 00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.440 so that we can be blessed to be a blessing. 620 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.880 And so Lord, we're declaring that upon ourselves now. 621 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.360 Blessed with more than enough in every area of our life 622 00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:36.400 so that we can show people what it looks like 623 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.639 to be a son and daughter of God. 624 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.840 We thank you, God, that the rough spots, 625 00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.000 the hard spots, the blind spots 626 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.960 that you would reveal and heal God. 627 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.800 And we thank you for it in Jesus name, amen. 628 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.400 I love y'all, I'll see you soon.
