1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.320
Awesome.

2
00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:06.160
Good morning and welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

3
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:07.840
We're going to be short and sweet this morning.

4
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:14.200
I know a lot of people have brats and hot dogs and hamburgers and parades and fireworks

5
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:15.200
to get to.

6
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:24.800
You know, we don't always eat a hamburger and a hot dog and a brat, but God bless America.

7
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.800
Today's the day that you're probably going to eat all of those things and maybe in one

8
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.640
sitting and you know what?

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.240
That's all right because people died to give you that privilege and we are so thankful

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.600
that we can do it, right?

11
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.320
And Jesus died also to give you that privilege.

12
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.640
I was thinking this morning about how we're celebrating the freedom of a country, people

13
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:54.520
that were brave, that spoke out against oppression and decided to do some really brave things,

14
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.800
some really hard things in order for us to enjoy the country that we live in today.

15
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:04.560
It's not a perfect country, nothing's perfect, but it is a country of freedom where we can

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.240
make our own choices for the most part and that's really exciting, especially when you

17
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:12.240
see what's going on around the world and you realize, hey, other people don't get to live

18
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.240
like that.

19
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:19.480
You know, there's a certain type of entitlement that we have when we live in free countries

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.040
where we don't understand what it's like to live in oppression.

21
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.680
We don't understand what it's like to live in bondage politically.

22
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.360
You know, we have freedom of speech, we have freedom of religion, you know, we have freedom

23
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:38.340
to choose our own course and our own path in America and thank God for that.

24
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.400
We have the freedom to have this call this morning.

25
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.960
We have the freedom to worship God the way that we want to worship him.

26
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:46.580
We have the freedom to assemble and to gather.

27
00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:51.080
We have these freedoms because other people died to give us those freedoms.

28
00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:56.960
And if you're not American, you know, you probably do live in a free country as well

29
00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:02.320
for the most part because I don't think that we have any one from any countries that are

30
00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.520
not free in our community because they wouldn't be allowed to be in our community, right?

31
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:09.919
They wouldn't be on the internet, they wouldn't be here with us.

32
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:16.800
And so I'm thankful that we get to come together this morning and just really celebrate the

33
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.120
themes of freedom.

34
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.040
And so I want to do that for a little while this morning before we even get started.

35
00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:28.720
I want people to be able to put in the chat right now, what are you thankful to have access

36
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:30.040
to because of freedom?

37
00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:34.640
What are you thankful to be free over?

38
00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:35.800
Put that in the chat right now.

39
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.760
I know all you ladies here want to get married.

40
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:58.960
That's why you're in this program in the first place, but aren't you also glad that you're

41
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.920
free to chart your own course as a woman, that you don't have to be married, don't have

42
00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:07.280
to be married to someone you don't want to be married to.

43
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.520
Just to be married, that you can work, that you have a voice, that you have a vote.

44
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.240
I feel like we should be happy for that, right?

45
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.040
We should be pleased, thankful.

46
00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:37.360
Yes, people are putting, I'm thankful for opportunities.

47
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.440
Yeah, we have opportunities, we have choices.

48
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:41.240
This is beautiful.

49
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.120
And as believers, as Christians, we're even more free.

50
00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:48.960
Because who the son has set free is free indeed.

51
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.360
And that word indeed just means completely and definitely.

52
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.280
I should say indefinitely.

53
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.600
Right, we are free, we are free indeed.

54
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:07.200
So beautiful, so amazing, a lot of people very thankful this morning.

55
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.680
Is there anyone here that was not a natural citizen of the United States of America and

56
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.959
you became a citizen, you went through that process to become a citizen.

57
00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:24.400
So you are doubly grateful today.

58
00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:36.640
Look at that, there's a few people in here.

59
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.200
They went through that process to become an American citizen.

60
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.960
And you know, I heard it's not that easy of a process, it's kind of hard.

61
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.080
But you did it and now you are.

62
00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:58.520
Wonderful, I see all that, I see you in the chat.

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.280
in the chat. We're so glad to have you.

64
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.720
And so what I'd like to do, because most of us are Americans here,

65
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.960
there may be a few people from another country,

66
00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:19.880
but I would like to just start out today's prayer call by not just being

67
00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:24.800
thankful and having gratitude towards the freedom that we do

68
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.940
enjoy. It's easy to get on a soap box.

69
00:05:26.940 --> 00:05:31.900
It's easy to go get on a political rant and to talk about what's wrong with

70
00:05:31.900 --> 00:05:33.980
America. And there are things that are wrong.

71
00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:36.100
There are things that we wish were different,

72
00:05:36.140 --> 00:05:38.060
but there's a lot of things that are right.

73
00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.980
And I would like to just spend a couple of minutes this morning,

74
00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:45.900
just thanking God for the freedoms that we enjoy that are going to be enjoyed by

75
00:05:45.900 --> 00:05:49.880
you and your future spouse. The fact that you get to choose,

76
00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:51.420
the fact that you get to live in freedom,

77
00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:53.300
the fact that you get to worship God together,

78
00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:57.380
the fact that you get to do those things, go here and there,

79
00:05:58.940 --> 00:05:59.780
travel,

80
00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:06.820
keep most of your money. Hello, tax man, you know, uh,

81
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:09.140
thank God. Right.

82
00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:13.460
And so let's just take a few minutes to let's just,

83
00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:18.300
let's just have some gratitude and some prayer, um,

84
00:06:18.460 --> 00:06:22.540
around the subject of being thankful to be free.

85
00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:23.620
Who would like to go first?

86
00:06:37.020 --> 00:06:40.340
And of course, don't forget, we can say a prayer for

87
00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:46.100
Lady Liberty this morning,

88
00:06:46.260 --> 00:06:50.660
praying over our country and our leaders and those that make it

89
00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:53.420
possible for us to continue to live in freedom,

90
00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:57.860
our armed forces. And we thank God for them. Who would like to go first?

91
00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:02.740
I'll go. Since you put it that way, I will definitely pray for our leaders. God,

92
00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:06.900
I thank you that, um, you've given us this day. And I thank you, Lord,

93
00:07:06.900 --> 00:07:11.460
that you have chosen us to be, um, positioned exactly where we are right now,

94
00:07:11.460 --> 00:07:14.740
wherever we are in the country or in the world. Um,

95
00:07:14.820 --> 00:07:18.100
I thank you God that each and every person is exactly where you wanted them to

96
00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:20.420
be right in this moment, father. And I thank you God,

97
00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:23.020
for each and every leader that is, um,

98
00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:27.540
in position in state and local government and also in federal government,

99
00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:30.100
God, all the way up to our white house. Father,

100
00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:33.700
you turn the hearts of Kings and I pray Lord God that today that you would

101
00:07:33.700 --> 00:07:36.700
soften the hearts of our leaders to compassion,

102
00:07:36.940 --> 00:07:38.540
that you would give them wisdom,

103
00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:41.820
that you would give them wise and understanding hearts for the times that we

104
00:07:41.820 --> 00:07:43.580
are in Lord God, um,

105
00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:47.820
for the complexity of the issues that they manage and the international

106
00:07:47.820 --> 00:07:51.140
relationships that we have Lord God, for the threats that they face,

107
00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:54.060
that we face, that sometimes we don't even know about Lord,

108
00:07:54.580 --> 00:07:57.860
that they shield us from God. I thank you for our armed forces.

109
00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:02.060
I pray God that they feel great pride today for their service,

110
00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:03.340
for our country, Lord God,

111
00:08:03.340 --> 00:08:08.060
for the sacrifice that some family members have made giving up sons and

112
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:08.980
daughters, Lord God,

113
00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:12.780
in the name of protection of our country and our liberties and our freedom God.

114
00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:17.100
And I just thank you Lord for, um, the complexity of our history in this country.

115
00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:21.220
I feel the weight of it is even as I'm praying, I almost want to cry. Um,

116
00:08:21.940 --> 00:08:24.420
I thank you God that you can heal anything you got.

117
00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:28.460
You said Lord that if my people will humble themselves and pray,

118
00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:32.580
then I will heal their land. I don't, I'm not quoting it properly, Lord,

119
00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:35.179
but we just pray God that you would, um,

120
00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:39.820
heal this land that you would remind us and teach us how to love and appreciate

121
00:08:40.140 --> 00:08:42.740
what you've given us God, that we would steward it well,

122
00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:45.700
that our leaders would steward it well, that they would steward the time,

123
00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:47.540
the talent and the resources well,

124
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:51.540
that they would remember the lives that they have been

125
00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:55.980
entrusted to protect, um, and the generate the,

126
00:08:56.020 --> 00:09:00.740
the young people that are watching them father. Um, and I just thank you God,

127
00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:03.820
that there, that we can celebrate and have joy today,

128
00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:08.460
that today is not a somber day, but it is a joyful day, God.

129
00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:11.540
And so I pray God that as people are gathering with their families,

130
00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:16.260
with their loved ones, that they take stock verbally and internally, God,

131
00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:20.140
of everything that they can lay their eyes on that you have given us Lord and

132
00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:23.540
that are connected to the freedom and the Liberty that you have given us in this

133
00:09:23.540 --> 00:09:25.780
country. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

134
00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:30.980
Amen. What a beautiful prayer. Thank you. What a beautiful prayer.

135
00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:34.820
She began to quote a second Chronicle 714.

136
00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:37.940
So let's just quote that together. If my people,

137
00:09:37.940 --> 00:09:42.940
which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and

138
00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:46.740
seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,

139
00:09:47.300 --> 00:09:52.020
then will I hear from heaven and we'll forgive their sin and we'll heal

140
00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:57.020
their land. Right? If my people, which are called by my name,

141
00:09:57.500 --> 00:10:00.020
that's us y'all us humble.

142
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.360
Ourselves. Yeah, there's a lot of other people out there that need to humble themselves, but he's saying will you go first?

143
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:10.840
Well, my people that are called by my name go first. Will they humble themselves? Will they pray? Will they seek my face?

144
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.320
Will we turn away from our sin?

145
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:15.920
Right

146
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.800
What will happen then there's a promise attached to that if we will do that then he will

147
00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:27.080
Hear from heaven forgive our sin and

148
00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:29.920
And heal the land

149
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:36.080
Just so you guys know if you want the historical context behind this this verse that was happening in the book of Chronicles

150
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.320
You know, this verse was spoken

151
00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:42.120
by God to who to King Solomon and

152
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.900
It happened right after Solomon had finished building the first temple

153
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.480
Remember David wanted to build it, but David was a man of war. He had bloody hands

154
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.320
And so God said hey, you're not going to build it. You're gonna get together the resources for it

155
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.760
I'm gonna talk to you about it. But Solomon your son is going to build the temple and

156
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.960
this was a

157
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:12.660
Divine response kind of to building the temple God appeared to Solomon at night after a massive dedication ceremony of this temple

158
00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:14.160
and

159
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:16.080
God was explaining

160
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:21.760
What the people should do if they were ever going to face disasters like droughts

161
00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:27.640
You guys remember things that happened in the Bible. They had locusts. They had diseases

162
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:34.640
You know because why because they turned away from God remember it was a different dispensation. It wasn't the dispensation of grace

163
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:40.920
God isn't sending things now to get us to turn to him. I know people are like, oh

164
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.080
God caused the earthquake in Venezuela and all the people died. No, he didn't

165
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.760
That is the groaning and travailing of the earth

166
00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:54.560
The Bible says that the whole earth is groaning and travailing underneath what the sin curse

167
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.720
waiting for the reappearing of

168
00:11:58.560 --> 00:12:01.760
Christ in the appearing of the sons and daughters of God

169
00:12:04.880 --> 00:12:11.720
So anyway back to this verse it was pretty much a national covenant that was being set forth

170
00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:18.920
During this moment in the original setting this was a specific promise to the ancient

171
00:12:19.560 --> 00:12:21.160
nation of Israel

172
00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:27.280
Regarding their physical land and their relationship with God, but we can apply it today because there's core

173
00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:30.840
There's there's core principles in this verse. Let's look at it again. There's

174
00:12:31.560 --> 00:12:35.160
one two three four core principles in this verse

175
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.440
So we have humility

176
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.160
What does that mean that means putting aside your pride and

177
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.400
Admitting that you know, God is God and we're not that's really what humbleness means you guys

178
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:55.300
Humbleness is putting aside your ego your pride your independence funny because it's Independence Day, right?

179
00:12:55.560 --> 00:13:00.240
Putting aside your independence and admitting your dependence on God

180
00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:06.120
That's what humility is when we humble ourselves before God. We are saying you are God. I am NOT I

181
00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:11.240
Need your help and then the next core principles prayer

182
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.700
Actively communicating with God right but also corporately communicating with God

183
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:23.100
It's not just saying if we'll pray individually is saying come together assemble yourselves pray

184
00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:28.000
You know, we have a personal relationship with God I

185
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.400
Hope you do where you're communicating with him. That's all prayer is just communicating with God in your personal relationship

186
00:13:36.160 --> 00:13:42.720
But then also coming together and corporately praying and then we have the principle of seeking

187
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.080
You know, what is it Matthew 7 11, right?

188
00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:48.800
ask seek knock

189
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.880
Seeking is a core principle of Christianity. It's something that we have been

190
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.600
commanded to do and

191
00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:02.360
If you want answers, you're not going to just have to ask you're also gonna have to seek and you're also going to have to

192
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:08.880
Knock these are action elements. Remember faith without works is dead religion faith without action is dead religion

193
00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:13.240
So we're seeking God's face according to this verse making what a conscious effort

194
00:14:15.520 --> 00:14:18.960
To not just ask God for help we're not seeking his hands

195
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:26.720
We're seeking his face. This is a this is in my opinion. This is an indication of intimacy. We're seeking his face

196
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:34.280
We're seeking to know God deeply. We're not just asking him for things arbitrarily. We're asking him to know him and

197
00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:37.760
Then the last core principle in this verse is repentance

198
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:46.080
What does that mean that means just turning completely around right it's like doing a 180 could turning completely away from wrong behaviors and

199
00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:49.500
Choosing God's way, which is the best way

200
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.440
Always the best way friends. It's not the easy way. Remember I'm not saying that it's the easy way

201
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.480
But it's the best way

202
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.000
Um, just because, you know, Jennifer shared this verse, let's just stay on it for a minute

203
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.720
because the Holy Spirit is leading us here, I really believe, and so let's just go ahead

204
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:15.440
and dig deeper, um, dig deeper into some of these elements of humility.

205
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.520
You know, um, there, there's, you know, you, you guys all know that there's Hebrew words

206
00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:24.280
associated with these words in this verse, and you guys, I'm going to do some really

207
00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:30.320
great teachings in Supernatural Saturday to come on some Hebrew elements of well-known

208
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.520
verses, well-known verses that you guys know and love, and you think they mean one thing,

209
00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:39.880
but when we really break it down into the Hebrew that it was written in originally,

210
00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:42.080
we see that it kind of means something else.

211
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:48.560
For instance, Genesis 2, 23 and 24, talking about bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh,

212
00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:53.240
talking about Eve being made out of the rib and being presented to Adam, it means a whole

213
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.520
lot different than you think it does, ladies, and in a better way, and gentlemen, in a better

214
00:15:58.520 --> 00:15:59.520
way.

215
00:15:59.520 --> 00:16:02.720
And I'm going to break that down for you, I'm going to break down what it means to be

216
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.600
modest in your life, I'm going to break down what it means for a man to be the head of

217
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.600
the household.

218
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.960
I really feel like I need to break some of this stuff down in its original language so

219
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:16.360
we can fully understand what it was that God was saying to us.

220
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:24.120
And in this verse, we're humbling ourselves, and it really means to break down pride, that's

221
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.040
what the word humble means.

222
00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:32.640
In the original Hebrew, it means to bend your knee, it means to bow your head, to choose

223
00:16:32.640 --> 00:16:35.080
to submit.

224
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.760
That's important, those typologies, because you remember, the Hebrew language wasn't just

225
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:46.920
letters, it was numbers and symbols, it was pictures, it was like Pictionary.

226
00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:52.600
And so we need to understand that the reason why the Hebrew language was symbols and pictures

227
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.080
is because it was meant to look like something.

228
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.520
Humility wasn't just a word that you threw around, it was an action, it was a choice

229
00:17:00.520 --> 00:17:03.120
of submission.

230
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:09.440
Same with seeking my face, in the Hebrew, that face word just means that you want to

231
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.880
be in someone's presence.

232
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.640
Like you know how you guys, we're FaceTiming, right?

233
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.839
We're FaceTiming with each other.

234
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.560
Why don't we just call each other on the phone?

235
00:17:19.560 --> 00:17:23.560
Because we want to see each other's face, because we want to be in each other's presence,

236
00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:26.119
even if we can't be in person.

237
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:33.480
We're seeking each other's face when we FaceTime, and that's what this word means in the Hebrew.

238
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:39.240
When he says seek my face, he's meaning seek my presence, be close to me.

239
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:46.160
Don't just seek my help, seek my, you know, to see my face, to know me.

240
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:51.760
And then of course, in this last verse with the Hebrew here about repentance, that word

241
00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:55.520
turning is the word that means repentance.

242
00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:59.920
Our word for repentance is really just their Hebrew word for turn.

243
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:04.680
And it literally means, you guys, to reverse your direction.

244
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.460
Not a 360, but a 180.

245
00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:12.860
And really honestly, what it really means in the Hebrew is to head back home after going

246
00:18:12.860 --> 00:18:20.380
too far away from home or too far away from the way of your ancestors or your family.

247
00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:22.460
Remember the prodigal?

248
00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:27.780
He remembered that it was time to go back to the father's house.

249
00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:31.980
And for us, yes, Pamela, for us, Jesus is our home, right?

250
00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:33.980
Jesus is home base.

251
00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:37.740
Anyway, really, really good start to Supernatural Saturday today.

252
00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:43.780
And I don't really want to keep you guys really long today, but God wants us to understand.

253
00:18:43.780 --> 00:18:45.700
He wants us to know.

254
00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:50.680
He wants us to feel blessed and grateful this morning.

255
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.740
I know things are not going 100% right in your life and not going 100% right in my life,

256
00:18:54.740 --> 00:18:58.540
but we have a lot to be thankful for this morning.

257
00:18:58.540 --> 00:19:02.840
Every day that I drive down the street in Austin, Texas, I see veterans, homeless veterans

258
00:19:02.840 --> 00:19:09.520
on the street, people that served in the military to protect you, to protect me, to

259
00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:15.800
give us what it is that we have and that what we enjoy as far as freedoms.

260
00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:19.640
And now because of what they've seen, because of what they've experienced, they have mental

261
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:25.560
health problems, they have drug problems, medication, you know, self-medicating because

262
00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:28.360
of what they've seen and what they've experienced.

263
00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:33.680
So Father, we just pray for your veterans today, homeless or not.

264
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.200
Everyone who has served this great country, everyone who has protected its borders, everyone

265
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:45.080
who has fought in a war, a foreign war, Lord, for us here in America, Lord, we just thank

266
00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:46.080
you for them, Lord.

267
00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:48.120
We ask that you would bless them.

268
00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.760
We ask that you would help them.

269
00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:51.280
We ask that you would heal them.

270
00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:55.080
Lord, we're thanking you, God, for all the things that you've given us and all the things

271
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.640
you've blessed us with through these people.

272
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.080
These people have been a vehicle.

273
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.560
of your blessings in our lives, Lord.

274
00:20:02.560 --> 00:20:04.280
And we pray, God, that the rest of their lives

275
00:20:04.280 --> 00:20:06.220
would be the best of their lives.

276
00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:07.920
I pray that you would give back to them, God,

277
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.360
what they've sacrificed, Lord,

278
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:11.600
through the hands of others, Lord,

279
00:20:11.600 --> 00:20:14.560
through the compassion of others, Lord.

280
00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:16.960
I pray that you would help them and bless them.

281
00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:22.160
Now, friends, I wanna switch a little bit this morning

282
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:23.680
to another theme.

283
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.000
Very thankful for America, very thankful for freedom,

284
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.380
very thankful for the freedom

285
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:30.340
of the finished work of the cross, amen?

286
00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:32.100
Anybody else?

287
00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:35.100
Anybody else thankful for the freedom

288
00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:36.800
of the finished work of the cross?

289
00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:40.820
Because people are gonna continue to have to fight

290
00:20:40.820 --> 00:20:42.380
to keep us free in America.

291
00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:45.840
It's not one and done.

292
00:20:47.860 --> 00:20:52.540
But the cross is one and done, isn't it?

293
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.340
If we wanna walk in it, if we decide to walk in it,

294
00:20:57.340 --> 00:21:01.940
if we decide to activate it in our lives,

295
00:21:01.940 --> 00:21:06.260
who the son sets free is free indeed,

296
00:21:06.260 --> 00:21:08.700
done, complete, finished.

297
00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:15.780
Amen?

298
00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:19.460
So let's talk about that a little bit.

299
00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:21.080
Are we living free that way?

300
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:27.020
Because that word indeed, in its original language,

301
00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:29.740
it really does mean completely, thoroughly.

302
00:21:30.820 --> 00:21:33.680
It means the prison door is fully open.

303
00:21:35.340 --> 00:21:37.260
But how many of us, including myself,

304
00:21:37.260 --> 00:21:39.980
continue to sit in certain prisons?

305
00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.820
Don't we?

306
00:21:45.140 --> 00:21:45.980
Don't we?

307
00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:49.240
Go back and read the Gospel of John,

308
00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:53.040
chapter eight, verses 31 through 36,

309
00:21:54.020 --> 00:21:55.620
especially verse 36,

310
00:21:55.620 --> 00:21:57.740
which is what we're talking about right now.

311
00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:00.920
If the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

312
00:22:01.820 --> 00:22:06.100
You see how it says, so if the son is who has set you free,

313
00:22:06.100 --> 00:22:07.180
you will be free indeed.

314
00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:08.020
Free from what?

315
00:22:08.020 --> 00:22:08.940
Free from slavery.

316
00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:12.060
The slavery of what?

317
00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:14.660
The slavery of sin, the slavery of the curse.

318
00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:17.020
Guys, we were all enslaved by that curse.

319
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.960
We were all enslaved.

320
00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:29.420
What do you still need to be free from?

321
00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:31.020
I mean, yes, you are free,

322
00:22:31.020 --> 00:22:33.380
but what are you still sitting in the prison of?

323
00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.980
Go ahead and put it in the chat.

324
00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:39.660
Be honest.

325
00:22:42.580 --> 00:22:46.060
Vulnerability and honesty will bring deliverance to you.

326
00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:58.740
Wow, there's some really honest answers

327
00:22:58.740 --> 00:23:00.340
popping up in the chat today.

328
00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.660
Very honest stuff.

329
00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:27.200
Wow, wow, wow, wow.

330
00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:38.180
A lot of people reporting

331
00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:40.100
that they're still in bondage to fear.

332
00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:43.340
Come on, y'all.

333
00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:47.920
You guys know, I know you know this,

334
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.020
but I'm gonna say it again.

335
00:23:50.020 --> 00:23:52.060
Fear is the opposite of love, right?

336
00:23:52.060 --> 00:23:53.680
It's the antithesis of love.

337
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.680
There's fear, and then there's love.

338
00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:02.200
So in those areas where we're still afraid,

339
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.600
those areas where we're fighting with fear all the time,

340
00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:06.160
those are areas where we have not

341
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:08.760
truly allowed ourselves to be loved.

342
00:24:08.760 --> 00:24:09.720
Do you see that?

343
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.560
So think about what you're afraid most of

344
00:24:14.560 --> 00:24:15.800
for just a second,

345
00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:18.680
and then ask yourself,

346
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.800
what would it look like to let love into this area

347
00:24:21.800 --> 00:24:26.080
that I have so many intrusive, fearful thoughts about?

348
00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:28.480
What would it look like for me to be loved here?

349
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.840
Well, let's talk about that.

350
00:24:44.040 --> 00:24:45.240
What would it look like?

351
00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:54.680
What would it look like to let love into that place?

352
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:00.160
Come on, guys.

353
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.000
So many of you put fear in the chat.

354
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.000
You're still in prison to fear.

355
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.000
You're still in bondage to fear.

356
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.000
You're still in the prison cell of fear.

357
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.000
I once a long time ago heard someone say

358
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:28.000
that fear is just having faith in the negative.

359
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:40.000
And love is having faith in the good, right?

360
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:47.000
Fear is partnering with the negative,

361
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.000
believing in the negative,

362
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.000
believing that the negative has power.

363
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:59.000
It's just a choice, right?

364
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:05.000
I'm just looking at everyone's comments here.

365
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:07.000
Come on, guys.

366
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.000
The other day, today's the fourth.

367
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.000
So two days ago, we were halfway through 2026.

368
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.000
Two days ago was the tipping point.

369
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.000
Two days ago was the midpoint of 2026.

370
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:24.000
This year is now officially half over.

371
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:29.000
We're halfway through, y'all.

372
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:35.000
And you know what?

373
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:38.000
We have a choice to make.

374
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.000
Are we going to live the rest of this year in fear?

375
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.000
Or are we going to live it in love?

376
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000
Is this year, the second half of it,

377
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.000
going to go like the first half of it?

378
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.000
And for some of you, that ain't good.

379
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:58.000
Is that what's going to happen?

380
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:00.000
Because we have a choice to make.

381
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.000
Because remember, Jesus may have opened the prison,

382
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.000
but some of us are still decorating the prison cell.

383
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.000
And we're still in the prison cell of fear.

384
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.000
And we don't have to be.

385
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:17.000
And I'm talking to myself.

386
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.000
But some of y'all have already given up.

387
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.000
You've already mentally quit.

388
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.000
We're just halfway through 2026,

389
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:29.000
and you've already decided that maybe next year is going to be my year.

390
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.000
This just isn't my season.

391
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:33.000
But no, we're not going to give up.

392
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:35.000
We're not going to give up.

393
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:39.000
This just isn't my season.

394
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:42.000
But no, you guys, you still have six months.

395
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.000
And six months is enough time for anything that you need.

396
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:52.000
It's way more than enough time for healing, for reconciliation,

397
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.000
some breakthrough, getting healthy.

398
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.000
Do you know that you can make a huge dent in your health journey in six months?

399
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.000
A huge dent.

400
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.000
You've got to start now.

401
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:13.000
But six months from now, I mean, you could be down 50 pounds in six months.

402
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:19.000
You could be way ahead in your finances, getting debt-free.

403
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:25.000
Six months is way more than enough time for a love story.

404
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:29.000
Y'all, if you lock in, you could be a totally different person by the end of this year.

405
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:36.000
Did you know that?

406
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:43.000
I just recently received an engagement announcement that's very special to my heart.

407
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:50.000
One of the leaders of this program, one of my single city leaders out in California, got engaged.

408
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:53.000
And you guys, she had been single all her life.

409
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.000
She's in her mid-40s.

410
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:02.000
In fact, she had never had a boyfriend.

411
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:10.000
And she sowed a lot into the singles community where she lives and also into this singles community.

412
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:16.000
And I went out to California for an event a while ago.

413
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:19.000
It's been maybe two years ago now.

414
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:24.000
And she invited me to go on a walk with her.

415
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:28.000
And she wanted to spend some time with me.

416
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.000
And I felt led to do that.

417
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.000
I don't always do it.

418
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.000
I don't always have time to do it.

419
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.000
But I did it.

420
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.000
And we walked at her favorite place.

421
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:42.000
She invited me to come to this place that she loved to go to and walk.

422
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.000
So we walked.

423
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:46.000
And we walked for a while.

424
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:51.000
And at the end of the walk, we sat at this picnic table and we talked.

425
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.000
We talked about what she would need to do differently in order to attract a love story.

426
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.000
We talked about her non-negotiables.

427
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.000
We talked about what she was looking for in a man.

428
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.080
And I basically just coached her at that picnic table at that park.

429
00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:09.780
That's her favorite place at the end of the walk.

430
00:30:09.780 --> 00:30:14.640
And at the end of that coaching session, I did something that I do a lot when I get with

431
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.240
you in person.

432
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:22.880
I prayed over her that God would highlight her.

433
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.960
I didn't have anyone to introduce her to.

434
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:28.840
I looked through my guys, didn't have anyone to match make her with at the moment, but

435
00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:31.840
I prayed over her that God would highlight her.

436
00:30:31.840 --> 00:30:36.320
She would have a highlight on her from heaven and that her husband would find her.

437
00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:40.420
Y'all not only did her husband find her, but I want to tell you this.

438
00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:45.440
He proposed at that exact same spot that I prayed that prayer.

439
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:50.080
And I just realized that the other day when I saw her pictures, I'm like, wait a minute.

440
00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:58.200
Is that the park that we went to and that we walked at?

441
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:02.200
And I don't even know if she even remembers that I prayed that prayer over her at the

442
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.200
end of that walk.

443
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:10.800
But the bottom line is, is that six months is enough time for a love story.

444
00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:13.180
It's about getting into alignment.

445
00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:16.040
God doesn't love that woman more than he loves you.

446
00:31:16.040 --> 00:31:25.840
Gentlemen, God does not love that woman more than he loves you.

447
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:28.280
But a lot of you have gotten the cart way before the horse.

448
00:31:28.280 --> 00:31:34.360
You're here for significant other, and you're not really even fully free yourself.

449
00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:36.480
You're not walking in freedom.

450
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:42.560
Nobody wants to come and sit in your prison cell with you.

451
00:31:42.560 --> 00:31:50.000
I love y'all, but she ain't that sexy that someone's going to choose to come and sit

452
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:55.960
in your prison cell with you.

453
00:31:55.960 --> 00:32:06.200
So perhaps we're going to focus on being fully free ourselves so that we can join someone

454
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:12.560
in full freedom, amen?

455
00:32:12.560 --> 00:32:17.880
Now you guys, I know that there are moments in life where we find ourselves going the

456
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:23.160
wrong direction and heading towards old thoughts and old mindsets and old patterns and old

457
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:27.600
behaviors and belief systems, all the things, but that's what repentance is about.

458
00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:31.960
That's what that word turn in that scripture is about.

459
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.440
And you know how we're going to stay on point is we're going to surround ourselves with

460
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:41.520
community that's going to check us before we wreck us.

461
00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:44.280
People that are going to call you out and say, oh, hey, you know what?

462
00:32:44.280 --> 00:32:45.800
You got some stinking thinking.

463
00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:51.480
You got some stinking thinking going on right now.

464
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:55.840
Because friends, I know that we like to make fun of the children of Israel when they were

465
00:32:55.840 --> 00:33:02.800
being led out of Egypt and they're headed to the promised land and they're complaining.

466
00:33:02.800 --> 00:33:10.600
They basically have funnel cakes falling from heaven, but they're complaining about the

467
00:33:10.600 --> 00:33:17.400
food, about the accommodations after they've been enslaved in Egypt and they want to go

468
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:21.760
back and we're making fun of them like, oh my God, what idiots.

469
00:33:21.760 --> 00:33:28.320
These people are idiots, but we are the same idiots.

470
00:33:28.320 --> 00:33:31.240
We do the same thing, y'all.

471
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.000
You know that you do it.

472
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:50.400
We might not be as overt as their situation, but we do it.

473
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.800
You guys, it was not indeed funnel cake.

474
00:33:52.800 --> 00:33:54.400
It's just manna.

475
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.120
I feel like it was just really good.

476
00:33:56.120 --> 00:34:08.280
I feel like it was a sweet treat of some sort.

477
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:09.719
So friends, it's time.

478
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.239
It's time for us to go forward.

479
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.280
As Americans, we're doubly blessed.

480
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:17.120
Jesus has set us free and we also live in freedom.

481
00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:21.679
You guys, you can do whatever you want.

482
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.480
You literally can wake up tomorrow and you can start a business.

483
00:34:25.600 --> 00:34:28.880
You can wake up tomorrow and you can move from here to there.

484
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.760
You don't have to tell anyone.

485
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.840
You don't have to have anyone's permission.

486
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.000
You can quit this job.

487
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.179
You can take that job.

488
00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:44.600
You can take your money and you can invest it here or you can put it there.

489
00:34:44.600 --> 00:34:49.520
You don't have to ask for anyone to tell you that you can.

490
00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:53.080
You just can.

491
00:34:53.080 --> 00:34:57.040
And we're so entitled because we don't realize what it's like to live in a country where

492
00:34:57.040 --> 00:34:58.560
your life is not your own.

493
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.000
We don't know what that's like, some of you might, but I don't know what that's like.

494
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.760
I was born and raised in America.

495
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.320
I only know this.

496
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:23.720
I can go out and I can get in the car, I can drive wherever I want.

497
00:35:23.720 --> 00:35:29.120
Now y'all out here on the West Coast got some wild gas prices, love y'all, but wild out

498
00:35:29.120 --> 00:35:37.320
here, but still, if you can afford the gas, you can go wherever you want.

499
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:44.560
You can, you can cross borders into other states without written permission.

500
00:35:44.560 --> 00:35:46.640
You guys, that's not how it is in other countries.

501
00:35:46.640 --> 00:35:49.360
There's some countries where you can't go from here to there.

502
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:54.200
Ladies, there's some countries where you can't go out of the house without wearing a full

503
00:35:54.200 --> 00:36:02.240
bedspread.

504
00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:06.360
You can't.

505
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:10.240
You can't show your face, you can't show your hair, you can't show your ankles, you can't

506
00:36:10.240 --> 00:36:14.520
show nothing.

507
00:36:14.520 --> 00:36:18.320
There's some places where you can't own anything still as a woman.

508
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:22.720
Gentlemen, there's places where you can't decide what job you're going to have.

509
00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:35.480
You're going to do whatever you're told, but not here.

510
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:40.320
Not here.

511
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:44.200
And so we have the double freedom.

512
00:36:44.200 --> 00:36:51.160
We have the freedom of geography, we have the freedom of where we live and the country

513
00:36:51.160 --> 00:36:52.360
that we live in.

514
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.360
And then we also have the freedom of the finished work of the cross.

515
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.400
And so Lord, we're just so thankful.

516
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:08.480
And we recognize that there's a whole six months left of the year 2026, just a few months

517
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:14.920
left of the Hebraic year that we're in.

518
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:22.640
And we're so thankful that you have so many good plans and good thoughts towards us.

519
00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:29.720
And so whatever it is that we have been depressed about, whatever it is that we've been anxious

520
00:37:29.720 --> 00:37:35.360
about, whatever it is that we've been focusing on that is not our freedom, that is not the

521
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:41.120
finished work of your son, Jesus Christ on the cross, we just release that now in Jesus

522
00:37:41.120 --> 00:37:44.120
name.

523
00:37:44.520 --> 00:37:48.840
Redirect our thoughts, redirect our vision.

524
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:50.480
Let us see the possibilities.

525
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:56.240
Let us see the wide open pasture in front of us.

526
00:37:56.240 --> 00:38:04.600
The wide open spaces, the possibility, the invitation to more, I want you guys to picture

527
00:38:04.600 --> 00:38:05.600
that right now.

528
00:38:05.600 --> 00:38:07.080
You're just being invited to more.

529
00:38:07.080 --> 00:38:08.440
You're being invited to freedom.

530
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:17.960
You're being invited into a wide open space where anything is possible.

531
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:21.320
Stop living in small spaces.

532
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.200
You don't have to live in small spaces.

533
00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:24.720
You don't have to be small.

534
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:27.720
You're like, but Jackie, I don't have the money.

535
00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:28.720
I don't care.

536
00:38:28.720 --> 00:38:29.720
Money is not your hindrance.

537
00:38:29.720 --> 00:38:32.920
But, but Jackie, I don't have, my health isn't that great.

538
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:33.920
I don't care.

539
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:36.000
That's not your hindrance.

540
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:37.000
But you don't understand.

541
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:38.320
I don't, I don't have a car.

542
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.320
I don't have a good job.

543
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:41.880
I don't, I don't have good friends.

544
00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:42.880
I don't have community.

545
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:47.720
None of that is your hindrance.

546
00:38:47.720 --> 00:38:54.200
You live a small life because you live a small life inside of yourself.

547
00:38:54.200 --> 00:39:02.120
Your belief system about yourself is small.

548
00:39:02.120 --> 00:39:05.520
That's where we have to start.

549
00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:09.840
Anything is possible with God.

550
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:16.040
All things are possible with God, but it's never been about what God can do.

551
00:39:16.040 --> 00:39:26.720
It's always ever been about what you believe and what I believe he can do.

552
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:28.760
What are we going to partner with?

553
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:30.200
We're going to partner with freedom.

554
00:39:30.200 --> 00:39:36.360
I want you to start to say that the next time those intrusive, fearful thoughts come,

555
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:41.800
you're just going to say, no, I'm actually free.

556
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.120
I invite you love, love.

557
00:39:44.120 --> 00:39:51.200
I invite you into this place, into this space.

558
00:39:51.200 --> 00:39:52.200
Come in.

559
00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:58.760
I invite you into this space.

560
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:00.000
Six months left, friends.

561
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.320
What are you going to do?

562
00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:05.320
Same old, same old?

563
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:09.880
Are you going to change it up?

564
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:11.520
Are you going to try something different?

565
00:40:11.520 --> 00:40:14.560
Are you going to step out?

566
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:20.720
Going to get a little crazy?

567
00:40:20.720 --> 00:40:35.120
I promise you, I have read lots of stories, antidotes of people at the end of their lives.

568
00:40:35.120 --> 00:40:46.000
And none of them, none of them were regretting the decisions that they made.

569
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.320
Most of them were regretting decisions that they did not make.

570
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:55.500
The action that they did not take.

571
00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:57.920
And we have no excuse because we live in freedom.

572
00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.600
We live in perfect freedom.

573
00:40:59.600 --> 00:41:01.360
We live in freedom.

574
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.360
We can go.

575
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:07.840
We are free because of Christ and we are free because of where we have been born or where

576
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.640
we have immigrated to.

577
00:41:12.640 --> 00:41:14.120
We are free.

578
00:41:14.120 --> 00:41:19.640
We have no excuses.

579
00:41:19.640 --> 00:41:26.640
You only can't because you've decided you can't.

580
00:41:26.640 --> 00:41:34.640
It's time.

581
00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:46.800
It's time, you guys.

582
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.520
I'm just reading through your comments.

583
00:41:48.520 --> 00:41:51.280
Yes, Lord, increase our faith.

584
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:52.280
Increase our belief.

585
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.280
2026, second half.

586
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:54.280
Let's go.

587
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:55.280
Yes.

588
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:56.280
Yes.

589
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:57.280
Yes.

590
00:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.280
Freedom reigns in our hearts.

591
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:00.280
Yippee.

592
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:01.280
Gwen said yippee.

593
00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:02.280
Yay.

594
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:03.280
Amen.

595
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:04.280
Amen.

596
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:05.280
Amen.

597
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:13.040
And I'm going to release you off to your celebrations and remember as you're celebrating today,

598
00:42:13.040 --> 00:42:16.080
remember what you're celebrating.

599
00:42:16.080 --> 00:42:19.160
You're celebrating your future for the next six months.

600
00:42:19.160 --> 00:42:24.100
You're celebrating that anything is possible for you for the next six months.

601
00:42:24.100 --> 00:42:30.360
You're coming into alignment with that.

602
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:34.000
Now friends, I'm not going to tell you that it's not going to require any work on your

603
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.440
hat on your part because it is going to require it.

604
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:41.560
But how much do you want it?

605
00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:49.880
How much do you want it?

606
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.040
We have something really exciting coming.

607
00:42:52.040 --> 00:42:54.120
All of you will be grandfathered into it.

608
00:42:54.120 --> 00:42:56.040
Let's see how many people are here on this call.

609
00:42:56.040 --> 00:42:57.400
We have 181.

610
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.840
We have nine people that left us already.

611
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:01.840
We had 190.

612
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:04.520
Now we have 181 people.

613
00:43:04.520 --> 00:43:11.400
But I just want to tell you that we have a new app that's going to be coming out that

614
00:43:12.240 --> 00:43:17.600
we have been working on and it's going to incorporate all of your last year single stuff.

615
00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:21.000
But it's also going to be a community-based matchmaking app.

616
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.620
How many of you have read my book?

617
00:43:24.620 --> 00:43:27.240
My new book, Modern Dating Sucks.

618
00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:31.160
Raise your hand if you've read it.

619
00:43:31.160 --> 00:43:37.080
Raise your hand, raise your hand.

620
00:43:37.080 --> 00:43:38.960
And just tell me in the comments what you thought of it.

621
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:40.960
It was the most practical book that I've ever written.

622
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.360
It was very different than anything that I've ever written before.

623
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.600
And for a long time, I wasn't feeling it.

624
00:43:46.600 --> 00:43:52.440
I wasn't that excited about writing it because it wasn't as inspirational as I normally am.

625
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.080
And I was like, ugh.

626
00:43:54.080 --> 00:43:56.560
But I wanted to give you a field guide.

627
00:43:56.560 --> 00:43:58.680
I needed to give you a field guide.

628
00:43:58.680 --> 00:44:02.720
And I needed to write a manifesto for what's coming next.

629
00:44:02.720 --> 00:44:07.040
Because if you have read it, you will see that it's all about bringing back the village.

630
00:44:07.040 --> 00:44:08.800
And that is what this app is going to do.

631
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:15.120
It is going to take technology, which we hate, and use it to bring back what we love.

632
00:44:15.120 --> 00:44:17.760
And that is in-person relationship.

633
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.800
And so it's going to be the best of both worlds.

634
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.600
For those of you that don't feel like you have friends or community, it's going to help

635
00:44:23.600 --> 00:44:24.600
with that.

636
00:44:24.600 --> 00:44:29.800
For those of you that are really wanting to meet and marry within community, it's going

637
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:32.160
to help with that.

638
00:44:32.160 --> 00:44:34.360
But it only works if this works.

639
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.600
If you are living in freedom and walking in freedom.

640
00:44:37.600 --> 00:44:42.120
If you're caring about the freedom of others, not just yourself.

641
00:44:42.120 --> 00:44:43.720
And all of you will be grandfathered in.

642
00:44:43.720 --> 00:44:48.120
For the people that come in from the outside, it will be a much different situation for

643
00:44:48.120 --> 00:44:49.240
them.

644
00:44:49.240 --> 00:44:53.280
And so if you were thinking about leaving this beautiful community, I want to tell you,

645
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:56.080
it ain't the right season for that.

646
00:44:56.080 --> 00:45:00.040
You literally would be leaving right before something...

647
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:08.800
amazing is happening and so I really want to encourage you to move forward together continue

648
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:15.280
to lock arms with us because we are going someplace really really great because technology and the

649
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:22.000
advancement of technology specifically AI and different things have made this available so we're

650
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:26.480
living in a beautiful time friends so for those of you that have been discouraged I want to let you

651
00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:31.280
know you are living in a beautiful time you're living in a time when disconnection is going to

652
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:37.280
give way to connection in a way that you have never experienced before and I'm very excited

653
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:43.600
about it and I hope that you'll be excited about it as well so if you felt lonely if you felt left

654
00:45:43.600 --> 00:45:51.200
behind if you felt left out if you felt confused if you felt imprisoned I just want to let you know

655
00:45:51.200 --> 00:46:03.360
that the village is coming your village is coming and so I want you to be excited about that and for

656
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:08.800
those of you that have been really wanting to partner with us and maybe coach with us and help

657
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.800
maybe even do a little matchmaking after you read my book you're like Jackie I want to help my

658
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:19.040
friends get married yes yes yes and yes and all of those things are going to be incorporated in

659
00:46:19.040 --> 00:46:25.600
this one little place you can do all of the above and it's going to be incredible

660
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:43.200
David is laying here next to me he's here you know because I had to stay I'm in a place where

661
00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:47.040
other people are still sleeping so I had to stay in my bedroom in order to do this because you guys

662
00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:53.520
I'm on vacation on the west coast thank you very much okay but my husband said that during prayer

663
00:46:53.520 --> 00:47:01.680
he felt like somebody on this call is going to make their entire salary normally what they would

664
00:47:01.680 --> 00:47:07.920
make in the entire year they are going to make that in the next six months before this year is

665
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:12.640
out they're going to make their entire salary so it's released that over whoever that's for

666
00:47:13.200 --> 00:47:20.880
thank you David Dorman for that word friends we're living in a special time a time of great

667
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:28.160
acceleration we'll be talking about that more as the days progress but lock in that's what I want

668
00:47:28.160 --> 00:47:33.280
to leave you with lock in you need to get your health in order lock in you have the freedom to

669
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:38.240
do it you need to get your mindset in order lock in you have the freedom to do it you need to get

670
00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:45.360
your finances in order lock in I'm not going to go through the whole story but when I decided to

671
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:54.960
be debt-free years ago I decided to be debt-free years ago I began to pay a little here and pay a

672
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:59.360
little there and then guess what God opened the doors for me to go ahead and just pay it all off

673
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:06.960
you make the decision you take the step forward God will meet you there it's not a 50 50

674
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:13.360
you'll probably end up doing 10 or 20 percent and he'll do the rest but you got to do it

675
00:48:15.040 --> 00:48:19.680
you got to make the decision you've got to go after it you've got to lock in
