Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.
I'm pretty zoomed up this morning, didn't get a lot of sleep.
So I'm a little quirky, a little quirkier than usual.
So because of that, I'm just going to go ahead and give a disclaimer at the very beginning
that whatever I say, just take it to the Lord.
No, I'm kidding.
I actually have been really excited about this Supernatural Saturday because God spoke
to me over the course of the week.
He was showing me some things when I was visiting my family in Columbus last week.
And then over the course of the week, he asked me to look at some scripture.
That doesn't always happen before Supernatural Saturday, but we're going to have a really
amazing time today.
So the very first thing that I want to do is look to the Lord.
Father, we're so thankful for your goodness.
We're so thankful for your love to us.
We're so thankful that you are for us.
And if you are for us, nothing can be against us.
And so we just ask now that you would help us to clear our minds and hearts to receive
what it is that you have for us today, because we know that you want good things for us.
Every good and perfect gift comes down from you, the Father of Lights.
And so we thank you today for what you're going to impart to us.
Help us to have the capacity to receive it.
In Jesus name, amen.
Amen.
All right, I want to do something a little different today.
I want everyone that can, I want you to close your eyes.
I'm going to start out with an activation.
Now as your eyes are closed, I just want you to listen to my voice for a few minutes.
So many of you know me, you've been in my program for some time.
You've heard some of my personal stories about struggles in my twenties and thirties with
anxiety, with post-traumatic stress disorder from childhood, from my first marriage, different
things that I've struggled with as a believer.
I think it's important to add that.
I think a lot of people have this idea, this misnomer that when you come to Jesus, everything
is better now.
And yes, your eternal state is better now.
Your spirit man has come back home to the Father.
But we still live in this body that's still affected by things that we've been through.
The body truly does hold the score.
And so it's a renewing of our minds that happens after we meet Jesus, where we're peeling off
the layers.
It's a part work piece of our life where we continue to move towards the truth and away
from the lies.
And that's been a long process for me.
I've made a lot of progress, been a long process, but sometimes I have a hard time and maybe
this is you as well.
And this is going to be the beginning of our Supernatural Saturday today.
Sometimes I have a hard time seeing myself in a positive outcome.
Sometimes I worry a little bit too much.
Sometimes I partner in my thought life with things going wrong a little bit too much.
If you've been around for a little while, you know, at the beginning of the year, God
specifically spoke to my heart and said, this year, 2026, I don't want you worrying about
anything that you can't control.
I don't want you to spend this year and worry, Jackie.
If you can't control it, if you can control it, control it.
But if you can't give it to me.
And I didn't really know why he was specifically singling out that for this year in January.
I didn't know.
But now that we're more than halfway through the year, I absolutely know why he was telling
me that.
He didn't want me to waste my year spinning my wheels because he knew there was going
to be a lot of things to worry about this year.
He knew that there were a lot of things coming down the pike that if I wanted to, I could
sit around and worry about.
If I wanted to, I could sit around and be distracted by trying to control when the control
was not mine to have.
And I would love to tell you that I listened to him completely.
I'd love to say that.
Oh yeah.
You know, God warned me in January and so I definitely didn't sit around in 2026 wasting
my time worrying.
Did you know that worry is a waste?
The old folks say it's like sitting in a rocking chair.
You rock back and forth and back and forth, but you don't go anywhere.
I'd love to tell you that I didn't waste a single moment of 2026 that I fully trusted
the Lord with everything that I could not trust myself with, with everything that I
couldn't control.
I couldn't fix.
I couldn't help.
I would love to tell you that, but it simply wouldn't be true even though he warned me
at the beginning of the year.
Now I can tell you because of that, not even warning.
that admonition at the beginning of the year, because that invitation at the beginning of
the year, I did worry less about those things, but I did worry some.
I did worry some.
I worried less, but I did worry some.
I have not arrived yet at complete and full trust in God.
And I don't believe that's a state that I may be in while I'm in this lifetime.
I hope to get better and better and better and better.
I hope to trust more and more and more and more.
I know a lot of people are afraid to pray for trust, because then they're like, oh,
then you're going to give me things that I need to trust you for, and that doesn't sound
fun.
I don't think that's the way it works, you guys.
I believe this life tests you all on its own.
Jesus says that there will be trials and tribulations in this earth, in this life.
He said not to be surprised, actually, when you have those things, right?
Not to be surprised.
But he said, don't be overcome by those things, because I, talking about himself, have overcome
those things.
He actually says, you can be of good cheer because I've overcome the world, which I love.
And we lean into those things and those truths every day.
And we believe the scripture that says that we are above and not beneath, we're the head,
we're not the tail.
We read the back of the book, we see that we win.
But a lot of times the walking that out every day from faith to faith and from glory to
glory, it's hard.
We definitely fall off.
And depending on how many L's you have, I told my little niece, I was pulling out of
the driveway yesterday to go to my appointment, and I saw her car was still up at the front
of the first, the place where she lives on my property.
I have a little Barnuminium up there that has housed many a person since I moved onto
this property.
My brother lived there.
My son lived there.
My daughter lived there.
My son-in-law before he married my daughter lived there.
My brother lived there again after he was run over by a car.
Now my niece lives there.
My nephew has lived there.
You know, just a place, a catch all for my family.
And when I was pulling out of my driveway, I live in the country, have a bit of a driveway.
And when I was pulling out of my driveway, I saw my niece's car was still at the house.
She moved here at the beginning of June to go to college next spring, and she's just
got a really good job.
It's a challenging job, you guys.
It's not an easy job.
It's a job that she has never had before.
It's as a barista at a very popular coffee shop.
She's never done that work before.
She's always done stuff, in my opinion, that's really beneath her talent, beneath her intellect,
beneath her.
You know, it's one of those things where it's like, she's like, well, I'm just going to
go back to Papa John's.
That's where she used to work when she lived in Florida.
She worked the night shift.
She worked the munchie shift where everyone smoked pot all day, and now they're coming
to get their pizzas at nighttime.
She's coming home covered with food at one o'clock in the morning.
She applied for Papa John's when she got here.
I didn't plan on sharing any of this, you guys, but this is for a lot of somebodies,
so listen up.
She applied for that when she got to Texas, and they hired her immediately on the spot,
and she took the job.
When I found out she took the job, I prayed.
I said, God, I said, show her that she's better than this job.
I get a text message from her first day on the job at Papa John's, and she said, and
if you love Papa John's, listen, I'm not coming after your pizza place, okay, but you like
to eat the pizza.
You don't want to work at the pizza, and I will tell you one thing about Austin, Texas.
We have a lot of good food here.
Everywhere you go, there's super good food, and so guess what's not popular?
Fast food pizza.
It's not a popular thing.
They put it in a place where, you know, they put it on the side of town where it's affordable
for people, and, you know, once again, her manager was outside all night smoking pot.
That should tell you what Papa John's is like in Austin, Texas, and so she texts me, and
she's like, I'm so bored.
This is her first day of work, and I prayed the prayer, and I said, what's going on?
going on she's like we don't have any orders she's like you were right people
don't eat this kind of pizza in Austin Texas but she's gonna have to work till
midnight she goes and my manager is outside getting high and it's just me
and him that's the only two people that were there and this is what I said to
her and this is what I want to say to you and this is what God is saying to us
be better than Papa John's be better
so guess what she came out she started applying for jobs and said where do you
want to work and she said I want to work at this place several of our friends of
our family young people that are you know children of my friends here in
Austin they work at this coffee shop it's owned by Christians um it's a chain
as a franchise there's many of them but it's a really great environment and you
know learning to be a barista is a skill that you can use all through college the
skill you can use all over the place because guess what most people drink
coffee and it's not easy work you guys it's hard work you got to memorize a lot
of stuff you got to move really fast and my niece is an artist and she's a
creative and guess what she doesn't move very fast she's pretty meticulous and so
it's gonna stretch her it's gonna challenge her and so she applied and
because we have some friends and we know some people she got an interview
otherwise without any experience she wouldn't have even got an interview but
I want to let you know she did not get hired out of nepotism she did not get
hired because we knew someone the hiring manager at that location said that it
was between her and another person and he chose her on her own merits he chose
her because she has the kind of personality that they want working for
them she's bubbly she's sweet she's kind she's friendly he said you can't
teach that he said and everything else you can teach but in the first few days
the first few shifts at this coffee shop she was already talking herself out of
the challenge why because she's had too many L's in her life this this young
woman is my brother who was homeless until this year he was homeless for 30
years almost until our family was able to buy him a home and now he is not
homeless anymore this is her father she was raised by a mother who had just as
many problems as my brother her father many times as a child she was homeless
many times as a child she was living in a tent he was living in a hotel room he
was in a living in a car during the summertime when it was her dad's turn to
take custody of her and her twin brother my nephew twins my mother tried to get
custody of those kids and she didn't she didn't succeed until they were 10 years
old and so for 10 years that's how she lived and at 10 years old my mom got
custody of them they came to Florida they lived with her they went to school
they were so behind they were both autistic they were both dyslexic neither
one of them to this day even though they're so smart they graduated because
of my mom because of my you know stepdad because of my younger brother who's in
his 30s who lives in Florida these kids graduate at the top of their class with
honors from high school because they're both super smart can't smell with the
can't spell with the darn very dyslexic but super smart I can't wait to see what
those coffee cups say as far as people's names there's gonna be some definitely
viral memes with my niece spelling names on coffee cups but so smart so talented
so artistic my nephew is in the architecture program at University of
Florida he is smart as a whip she's gonna be an animator she came here to
Austin to go to college so she said to me the other day was her third shift and
she said to me she said she said aunt Jackie it's just so hard she's like I
told myself that I'll give it a month she said if it doesn't get better I'm
gonna quit come on this is a word for somebody I tell myself I give it a month
and if it doesn't get better I'm gonna quit I said no you're not I said that's
not what we do here in this family I said you know why you're not gonna quit
is because you need some W's you need some wins you've had too many L's you've
had too many losses you need some wins and getting fired from this job that you
got on your own merit that other people wanted
And let's not forget, you're only 20 years old and it makes $22 an hour, let's go.
You're not going to lose this job.
You're not going to get fired from this job.
You can do this.
And so I started quizzing her on the coffee drinks.
She made flashcards.
She started pressing in, she started locking in.
And that's what today's Supernatural Saturday is about.
Some of you have just been accepting the L's.
You've just been accepting the L's.
You've been inviting the L's.
It's time for some W's.
And so as you close your eyes, here's the question that God asked me when I was in Columbus,
Ohio last week.
It was actually written on a billboard.
And I'm driving and I'm praying and I'm there for not great reasons.
My mother-in-law is having some health problems and I'm there and I'm just praying and I'm
a little bit stretched thin and I'm already kind of overwhelmed.
And I'm feeling like this year has not been the year that I wanted, just like 2025 was
not the year that I wanted.
And I just really can't understand what is going on.
And I look up and I see this billboard and it says, Picture Yourself Winning.
So I want you to close your eyes.
And I want you to picture yourself winning.
What does that look like?
What does it look like?
We don't have any problem spending 45 minutes imagining the worst case scenarios in life
and calling it just being realistic.
What if it doesn't work?
What if I fail?
What if I lose?
What if, you know, I run out of money?
What if they say no?
What if something happens to me, my family?
What if I embarrass myself?
What if I get my hopes up just to be disappointed again?
We can picture that all day long.
But today God wants to interrupt that.
I'm going to get to the scripture that he led me to this week in just a second.
But I want you to take a few minutes here at the beginning, just picture yourself winning.
That's going to look different for every one of you.
What does it look like?
What does it look like for you to win?
Different scenarios for everyone.
What does winning look like?
What does it look like?
We're going to get into picturing some things more in depth, doing some more activations
later on today at Supernatural Saturday, later on in the call.
But I just want you to put just the first impression that you have when you picture
yourself winning.
Put it in the chat.
Get it up there.
Some of you, this is really hard.
You haven't pictured yourself winning in a really long time.
Some of you are immediately uncomfortable with that statement.
Some of you are uncomfortable with that statement.
Some of you are immediately uncomfortable with that statement.
God wants to interrupt previous broadcasts.
Remember when we were kids we can all remember this.
We're all old enough to remember that this broadcast has been interrupted.
And then a news broadcast comes on, you're watching your favorite show, you're watching
something and there's an interruption in the broadcast and some other broadcast starts,
the news, some kind of special announcement from the government, whatever.
And then it always says, now back to your previously scheduled broadcast.
God wants to interrupt our mindsets this morning.
He doesn't want you to go back to your previous mindsets this morning of disappointment and
hopelessness and picturing yourself losing.
If I would have said, hey, picture yourself losing, all of you would have been like, yeah,
I can do that.
No problem, Daggy.
All I have to do is just think about yesterday.
Think about the day before yesterday.
Think about my last date.
Think about my last dating app experience.
Think about, it's not hard to look for evidence of losing.
So this week, as I was thinking about sharing this, picture yourself winning on Supernatural
Saturday today.
As I was thinking about that, as I was pressing in and praying into that, I heard the Lord
say to me, I want you to go look at Luke 5.
So if you're familiar with Luke 5, it starts out with Jesus calling his first disciples.
It starts out with the story where Jesus comes to the shore, and he goes out on the boat
and he teaches.
This is where Simon Peter is going to be called, and other fishermen are going to be called
to be disciples.
And so I began to read Luke 5, and I began to see Peter specifically.
You guys, Peter's exhausted.
And if you've ever seen the show The Chosen, I think that they depict Luke 5 really well.
There's a scene in The Chosen, I forget which season it is, but they depict this scene that
I'm about to rehearse with you, that I'm about to retell to you.
They depict it really well.
Peter's been fishing all night, nothing.
And you guys, it's important that we understand that Peter and the other fishermen, they know
how to fish.
This is what they do.
This is literally their profession.
They're not just out there having fun, it's not a hobby.
They're professional fishermen.
This is what they do.
They have experience, they have knowledge.
And in this scene, they had been fishing all night, and guess what, there were no fish.
There were no fish.
They hadn't caught one thing.
And you guys, I don't know how typical that was in their profession.
I don't know how many times that had happened before.
I don't know if it was an anomaly.
I don't know if it was a rare occurrence that they didn't catch even one fish.
I don't know if it was a setup for this miracle that Jesus was going to perform.
I have no idea, because guess what, I'm not a fisherman.
And I'm certainly not a fisherman from biblical times.
So I can't give you context.
All I can say is that Peter was a very experienced fisherman.
It was his profession.
You know what wasn't his profession?
Being an evangelist, being any kind of spiritual leader.
Because if you're not familiar with Jewish history, let me share this with you.
All of the little boys, all the little boys, let's call it Torah school, all the little
boys would go to Torah school.
Everybody would.
Everybody would learn the scriptures.
They would learn the scrolls.
They would learn the history.
They would learn the prayers, everybody.
And then let's say about third-ish grade, about that age, if you weren't excelling as
a scholar, a spiritual scholar, if you weren't excelling at these things, at these spiritual
things, at these religious things, if you weren't excelling, guess what, you got sent
home to just do manual labor.
You got sent home to be a fisherman or, you know, some kind of agricultural job.
You got sent home.
You no longer were going to Torah school, okay?
Only the best of the best were kept after that age.
And those people became, you know, the rabbis.
Those people hopefully would become a rabbi, but they became the scribes.
They became the people, you know, that Jesus was always yelling at, basically, okay?
So Peter wasn't looking for, you know, a life doing ministry, doing spiritual stuff.
He was a fisherman.
This is what he did.
Whether he liked it or not, I don't know.
Was his dad a fisherman before him?
Probably.
The bottom line is, is that he knew fish and there were no fish there.
So what does Jesus say to these folks?
He says specifically to Simon Peter, he says, hey, go back out where?
Into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.
And I love Peter because instead of just being like, okay, you know, let me go do this.
Let me go be obedient.
He's like most of us.
He claps back.
Jesus, I already tried that.
Come on, you guys know it's true.
God tells us something and we're not like in the awe of, oh my God, God's talking to
me.
God is talking to me.
He's giving me instruction right now.
Wow.
This is amazing.
I can hear God's voice.
How privileged, how honored, how special.
No, we argue with God.
That's what we do.
valious little brats, that's what we do.
And Peter says, I already tried that.
But he can feel what Jesus is giving off.
Jesus had just been teaching.
He can feel that this guy is different.
He can feel that something supernatural is happening.
And so he said, yes, I already did that, but I will do it again, right?
So I want you to think about the I already tried statement from Peter.
This is where I feel like God wants us to go today.
We all have an I already tried.
You already tried to fix it.
You already tried to get healthy.
You already tried to believe, put yourself out there, let down your net, whatever your
net is.
You already tried whatever it is, and you came back empty.
I don't want to make this completely about your love lives, you guys.
And the reason why I don't is because for some of you, that's not the first Jenga block
that you need to be pulling out right now.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, but there are people here that are nowhere near ready
for a relationship.
And God bless you.
You're here to be in a process, but you're here to have some wins, some Ws, and some
other areas that will lead you to a place where you can trust another human being to
partner with you.
You are not to a place where you can do that.
You are not to a place where you can trust someone else.
Guys, it's not about how much money you have.
It's not about how much weight you have to lose.
It's not about, you know, how guys, how successful you are and how much you have to build.
This is about being able to let someone in, in to me see.
And some of you need some trust and some wins before you get to a place where you can let
someone else in.
Mmm.
Whatever else you've been making it about, it ain't about that.
It's not about that.
God has never measured us on outward things, you guys.
We're always measured by the heart.
So I don't want to make this fully about your love lives.
For some of you, it will be about that, but I don't want to make it fully about that.
But I will tell you this on Ask Jackie the other night, by the way, where were all y'all
at?
No one was there.
There were 60 people there, all right?
It was good.
But one of our sisters in this community has met a really great guy and they're dating
and it's really great.
And guess what?
She met him trying something that she had tried in the past that had not worked before.
And she didn't know it, but that confirmed the message for this morning when she told
her story.
She tried something, not something different.
She tried the same thing, just in a different timing, as a different version of herself.
And guess what?
It worked.
It really did.
So I want you to think about the, I already tried statement.
What comes up immediately?
Don't go digging around in your conscience, trying to find the best I already tried because
like, Oh, I got to come up with a good one because I want to try it again.
And now it's magically going to work because of this magic sermon.
No.
What's the first thing that came to mind?
It may not be the thing that you're wanting to try again.
It may not even be the most important thing that you tried before and didn't work in your
mind.
But remember, God is a strategist.
He's a strategist.
Can I remind you that they did go out?
They did get fish.
They got so many fish than they had ever gotten before.
But then as soon as that happened, he's like, Oh, lay down your nets.
You're not fishermen anymore.
Come with me.
So it's like, all right, it's not really as important as you think it is.
All right, go ahead and put up the very first thing that came to your, I already tried mind.
That's a good one.
Jen said, I tried to, I tried to heal from anxiety.
I tried to heal from anxiety.
Some people are like, I tried to find another stream of income.
I tried to trust someone with my heart.
I tried to lose weight.
I tried to heal from past trauma.
Tried to get organized.
I tried to find a new job.
I tried to build community because these are all really, really good.
I hope you guys are taking a look at them.
People are being really honest in the chat.
They're like, I tried.
I prayed.
I tried.
I let down the net and it came back empty, right?
Me too, you guys, just so you know, me too.
And here's the thing, you know, a lot of us have some real serious needs.
We need a healing like right now.
We need finances like right now.
There are things that we need right now.
We need to put that net out and we need that net to be full.
It's not a want, it's a need.
And we're going to pray over that.
I have some wants, but I also have some needs, but I just want to let you know that your
wants are important to the Lord as well.
They are.
Your wants are important to the Lord as well.
All right, you guys, it's a very emotional morning here.
So Peter, he does say that he already tried, but then he does something really important.
He says, nevertheless, at your word, I will try again.
I will let down my net, nevertheless, at your word, guys, that's the key right there.
He was talking about the words of Jesus, who is the word.
At your word, I'm going to try again.
And then we know what happens, you guys, he goes out, he lets down the net and it becomes
so full.
There are so many fish that the net begins to break and he has to call the other boats
that are in vicinity to him.
He's like, Hey y'all come over here and help me.
There's so many fish, the nets can't hold them.
His previous experience, you guys from the night before told him to expect an empty net.
Now it's not that he's never had any wins.
He's a fisherman.
He wouldn't be fishing if he was such a bad fisherman that he never caught any fish.
We know that he's had wins in the past, but he's never had this big of a win.
And it sounds like he's had a lot of losses, a lot of losses.
But what's so important to understand is that his previous experience the night before,
that is the thing that taught him to expect an empty net.
His previous experience is what taught him and told him to expect an empty net.
I already tried.
This can't work because I already tried and it didn't work.
But guess what?
His previous experience wasn't a word from the Lord.
It wasn't a word from the word.
It wasn't a prophecy.
And what I look at when I look at the story is I wonder how many of us, including myself,
are walking into our future.
And when I say our future, I mean today, yesterday, today was our future.
Tomorrow is our future.
But we're walking into these little parts of our future, carrying the pictures from
our past.
And it doesn't have to be your far past, you guys.
It could just be yesterday.
Just could be last week.
You're still operating in the mindsets of the L's that you've been receiving from last
week, last month, six months ago.
We don't realize that we're doing it.
A lot of us picture ourselves failing before we even get started.
It's so easy to picture yourself losing.
You picture the conversation and you picture it going badly before you've even had it.
You picture the door closing before you've even knocked on it.
Come on, you guys.
I see your comments.
So today we're going to begin to practice something different.
Today we are going to practice picturing ourselves winning.
And I know that you think that sounds easy and fun, but guess what?
It's not going to be easy.
I've been doing it ever since last week when God spoke to me and said, picture yourself
winning, Jackie.
And you know what?
Every time I try to play the movie in my mind of me winning, I'm losing in the movie.
I'm like, oh wait, how do I switch this movie?
My imagination is stuck on the negative somehow.
You guys, imagination is a beautiful thing.
Being able to sit around and daydream is a beautiful thing.
But a lot of us are having day nightmares, not dreams, sitting around on our couch, imagining
a future that hasn't even happened yet and everything's going wrong in that future.
Now, I don't want to tell you that if you picture having a Lamborghini in your driveway
hard enough that you're going to manifest it and you're going to go out there and it's
going to be there.
We're not talking about that.
We're talking about coming into alignment with the Word of God.
And the Word of God in this instance is God wants us to picture ourselves winning.
Why?
Not because you deserve it.
A lot of you won't be able to picture it because you know that you haven't been doing
what you need to do.
You haven't been locking in.
You haven't been doing the work.
You've been doing other things.
Some of you may even be sinning.
You may even be doing things that you know are completely wrong.
And I just want to let you know, you winning is not based on your merit.
It is based on what Jesus did on the cross.
Your access is based on what Jesus did on the cross.
It's not based on your performance.
That's a very hard pill for a lot of people to swallow.
Very hard to swallow.
You want to earn it.
You want to deserve it.
And then you want to demand it because you did what you were supposed to do.
Now God do your part.
Some of my most favorite blessings have come completely absent from any of my own effort.
My favorite blessings, David Dorman is an example of that.
I would have never put myself on even the long list of someone who was ready for a love
story.
I will tell you that right now.
But you know what?
When I was up at four o'clock in the morning from drinking too much caffeine yesterday,
God was talking to me.
And you know what?
So it was a blessing.
See, God takes everything.
Romans 8, 28.
And he turns it into our good.
So I'm up and you know what God said to me?
He didn't actually say it to me.
He let me be reminded of something.
You know what I was reminded of?
I was reminded of one time when I called out in prayer and said, God, I want this.
And then it happened.
Has that ever happened to you?
Can I tell you what it was?
I was at the very end of a very toxic, very unhealthy, very detrimental marriage.
I was living in the guest bedroom and I had been living in the guest bedroom for months.
You guys, I was very sick.
I was in and out of the emergency room.
My pastor had gone to prison.
The church had fallen apart.
I had no friends.
I had no family.
And I was married to someone who absolutely hated me.
I had a almost five-year-old daughter.
I was hanging on by a thread.
And I was in that guest bedroom and I was in there and I knew that my marriage was over
and I knew that he was going to be moving out and we were going to be getting a divorce.
I was just so exhausted, you guys.
I was skin and bones.
I had panic disorder.
I had chronic fatigue syndrome.
I had everything you can think of.
And you know what?
I cried out.
God brought this to my mind last night.
I didn't even remember it.
And you know what?
I don't even think that I put two and two together until last night.
Until last night, I don't even know that I realized that I said this to the Lord and
then it happened.
I know everyone's on pins and needles, so this is what happened.
I was in the room and I was crying out to God and I was crying and I was overwhelmed
and I was overcome and the stress was about to take me under.
And I yelled out to God, I just want to be cherished.
Such an odd thing to say.
But that's what I said.
And you know what?
Probably just a few months later, David Dorman moved in next door to me.
And I'm going to try not to cry, but if I can, if I can say that there's one word that
describes my husband's behavior towards me, that would be the word.
That would be the word.
After an entire lifetime of being abandoned, after an entire lifetime of being forgotten
about, of being collateral damage, of being left behind by my family, by my previous husband,
by all the people in my life, I can tell you that I've lived the last 20 years as the most
valuable and most cherished woman alive by my husband.
Did I somehow earn the manifestation of that prayer?
No, I will tell you that I did not.
In fact, my trust in my faith was probably at the lowest that it had ever been in my
life.
So when I say I want you to picture yourself winning, I don't want you to picture yourself
winning because of anything that you've done.
I want you to picture yourself winning because of who you are, and that is a child of God.
A child of God.
Because you may not know it, and I certainly didn't, but you are loved and you are
cherished, you are fathered, you are wanted.
You are thought about in ways that you could never comprehend.
All right, so let's do some activations.
We only have a few more minutes.
So I asked you to picture yourself winning, but now I want you to find the empty net.
I want you to think about one area of your life where disappointment from the past has
taught you to expect yourself to come up empty handed.
I don't want you to pick 10 things.
I just want you to pick one thing, and I want you to pick the first thing that comes to
mind, not the thing you want it to be.
Now you have that thing in your mind, and I want you to think about it.
The first thing that comes to mind, not the thing you want it to be.
Now you have that thing in your mind right now.
The thing that's probably never going to happen, that you've tried before.
This just probably isn't for me.
Nothing ever changes.
Always goes wrong.
This empty net that you've been carrying around.
Put it in the chat.
Come on, you guys.
You can't replace a picture that you haven't even identified.
Put it in the chat.
Some of you are putting some really good ones in there.
Relationship with your children.
I've personally seen so many people in this program restore their relationship with their
children.
So many people.
That's the win.
That's the W.
That's the big W.
Come on, you guys.
Whatever happened before in this area does not get to predict what happens next.
Get that.
Get it.
Okay.
All right, you guys.
Now, I want you to do something.
I want you to close your eyes.
I want you to picture that empty net.
And I want you to picture it full.
Okay.
All right, you guys.
Now, I want you to do something.
I want you to close your eyes.
I want you to picture that empty net.
And I want you to picture it full.
I want you to picture it full.
Full of whatever it is that you said that you put down and tried to catch, but it's
always been eluding you.
I want you to picture it full.
Come on, picture it, picture it in detail, picture it full.
For those of you that are like marriage, picture that wedding day, picture your dress, picture
the stuff.
If you're a man, picture you're standing at the end of the aisle and your beautiful bride
is walking towards you.
You know, let your mind's eye go into the marriage, to the honeymoon, to the days after,
to the walks hand in hand, to all the things.
For those of you that were putting down finances, picture your bank account being full.
Picture you being able, one thing that you can't do when you're always struggling is
you cannot help other people, hardly at all.
I want you to picture yourself helping other people.
I want you to picture yourself just writing the check.
I mean, I know we don't do that anymore, but it's easy to picture, writing the check.
You know, picture yourself giving the money, donating the thing.
Picture yourself walking into that house.
You guys, I never owned a house in my entire life until just four years ago.
I'm 51.
So however old that is, you do the math.
I never, and you know what I've done with this house?
I have shared it.
I've shared this property with countless people.
I named some of them at the beginning, but so, so, so many people have lived on this
property since I purchased it four years ago.
You probably thought I had this property for a long time by me describing how many
people have lived here, but no.
People transitioning.
I even had a matchmaking client who moved here to be with someone that I matched her
with and they dated for a year and then they decided not to get married.
There was just some things that needed to happen and neither one of them were willing
to do those things.
Neither one of them were bad people.
They just really weren't willing to do what it took to get to the next level with each
other.
And so she was just kind of displaced because she had moved here and guess what?
I let her live in that front house until she figured out her next move.
I've been able to be so generous.
It's hard to be generous when you don't have anything to be generous with.
You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
Picture yourself being so generous because some of you, you want to be generous.
I want to let you know that even when I didn't have anything though, I was very generous.
So it needs to be a lifestyle.
If I had $2, I would give away one of them.
So make sure that you, if you want to be generous, that you're being generous just in general.
Picture yourself, you guys, with that full net.
What does it look like?
What would it look like?
What would it look like if you pull that net out and it was full?
And so now what I want you to do is I want you to go ahead and when we get off this call
together, I want you to put that net back in the water.
I want you to spend some time just putting that net back in the water.
You might get an extra instruction, you guys, besides just this prophetic activation of
doing something in your mind's eye.
You might feel prompted to send that email again, fill out that application again, make
that phone call, make the appointment, have the conversation, rejoin that gym.
Yeah, it didn't work last time because you didn't work it.
You didn't have the gumption to do it.
You prioritized other things.
You guys, I'm just going to tell you one thing that I know for sure because I've personally
experienced it and I've watched so many other people experience it.
Getting healthy is not easy.
The grace is there for you to do it, but you have to show up.
Your body has to show up to the challenge and to the plan.
It's easy to make that the last thing on your list, the last thing on your list to move
your body, the last thing on your list to address your health.
But the reason why I was in Columbus last week was because my mother-in-law, who's beautiful,
wonderful woman of God, who has prioritized serving other people, she's prioritized good
things, you guys, really good things.
She has served her church for 40 years.
She even has her own parking spot at a megachurch because she has served so well.
She has helped so many people.
She's led so many people to the Lord.
She has so much eternal fruit.
It's not funny.
But you know what she hasn't prioritized herself, herself.
And so now she's in a situation where she has no choice but to prioritize herself because
...
of what's happening with her, her body, her health.
...
And yeah, she's 82, but this is someone
who wanted to live to be 120.
So we got a few years left here.
We've got to get to the finish line.
She did admit to me that 120 is sounding pretty old
right now, and I agree.
It's like, yeah, we might make it to 120,
but what would we look like?
That may sound vain, but I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
You might be taping those puppies up
like pancake batter in a sock.
That's just for the ladies,
and they understand it, gentlemen, so everyone's good.
All right, so.
You might feel prompted to change
your priorities a little bit.
You want to be healthy, but you don't take
that good care of yourself.
So you might be prompted to,
and I don't just mean physically, maybe emotionally.
Maybe you're going to be prompted to reset the boundary.
You've been really lax on your boundary
with a person, with a situation.
Maybe you're going to reset the boundary.
I don't know who this is for.
I don't know how many gentlemen are on here,
or how many gentlemen are going to be listening
in the replay, but I felt prompted to say, ask her again.
So I'm going to go ahead and say that.
The business idea, the writing.
Yes, yes, you guys, whoo.
So this week, we're going to picture ourselves winning.
If there's any more instruction, wonderful.
If God speaks to you and tells you some very specific
things to do, that's amazing.
But even if he doesn't, I want you to picture yourself
putting that net back in the water,
and I want you to picture yourself pulling it up full.
And if you have to picture that every single day,
picture it every single day.
Write down what you see.
Steward the word that God is releasing over us today.
Steward it well.
Be a good and wise steward of this word.
I just want to let you know that it does not benefit God
in any way, shape, or form for his children to lose.
It doesn't benefit for us.
It doesn't make us look more holy.
It doesn't make us look more righteous.
It doesn't make him look like a better father in heaven.
In fact, it doesn't look good on him.
If his children are always losing.
It doesn't look good, does it?
It doesn't look good.
God wants you to be blessed.
He wants you to have a full net.
Especially if you've done your hard work
and you're gonna do good things with what's in that net.
You're gonna share.
You're gonna be generous with your lives.
Matthew 5, the Sermon on the Mount,
a different book, same chapter.
We have a scripture that says be generous with your lives.
It's the scripture of the city set on the hill.
But if you read it in the message translation,
it says be generous with your life.
Keep an open house with your life.
So that people would see your generosity.
They would see your love and that they would know
that you have a good father in heaven.
It benefits God tremendously for you to win.
Woo, all right, friends.
Let's activate this.
There are some very specific wins that I felt
when I was up in the middle of the night praying
that I was talking to God about.
And you know what, he did give me an instruction, and it's a little bit challenging, the instruction
that he gave me, showing me to do something very specific.
And it's going to cost me a little bit of money, and it's going to cost me some faith,
for sure.
So it's a little risky.
And a lot of us have done things that God has, you know, asked us to do.
We felt like God instructed us to do those things.
Like when he said, Peter, go out, put your net down.
And we pulled out the net.
There was still nothing there.
We did the thing.
We went to the networking event.
We applied for the job.
We did this.
We did that.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But I want to remind you that Peter said, I already tried that.
And Jesus said, do it again.
And it might look a little different now.
Maybe that was 10 years ago.
It might have been 15 years ago.
Maybe you've never had the courage to even think about it and or try again because it
failed.
I want to let you guys know that I have a successful media business.
I know that you guys know about last year's single, but I have a successful media business.
And I've been in media for many years, starting with television all the way back in 2010.
There's a lot.
I've lived a lot of lives, y'all.
You don't know me as well as you think you do.
But I just want to tell you something.
My first companies, they all failed.
I want to make sure that you know that.
My first companies all failed.
Eventually.
Some of them did really well and then they failed.
But guess who didn't stop trying?
This girl.
And the reason why was because every single time I just wanted to quit and say, hey, maybe
this is not for me.
I'm the kind of person who has 10,000 good ideas before breakfast.
My friends and family were tired of hearing about my good ideas.
My friends and family were tired of hearing about my kooky schemes.
They were tired of hearing about the thing that I was like, wow, wouldn't it be great
if we did this?
But that's how God created me and that's who I am.
And I'm really thankful that I tried again and put the net down again because that's
exactly what happened to me is what I'm saying to you guys.
I was sitting in my office and a lot of you know the story.
We're going to end with this.
My mother had just passed away.
It was my dream to have a beautiful mother and daughter relationship on the earth and
I was getting so close because in her sickness she was getting a lot of healing in her heart
and she was opening up and she was finally letting me in and we were finally having a
relationship and then she went to heaven.
And so now I'm just sitting in my office and I'm surrounded by all kinds of media stuff,
all kinds of media work that I was doing.
I had been in Florida for a month in the ICU with my mom and now I'm back home in Texas.
Quarantine's about to start but nobody knows.
I don't know.
You don't know.
I'm sitting in my office and I'm just staring at everything around me and nothing matters
because the one thing that I wanted I had tried and I had failed and that was her.
She was my biggest dream.
By the way, my next book is about relationships with difficult mothers.
So if that's your story, you're going to really like this book, especially if your mother
is still alive.
It's going to be very helpful for you.
And I was sitting there and essentially Jesus came along and said, Hey, Jackie, put your
net down again.
But he said, my single sons and daughters need help.
Will you help me help them?
I want them married.
Will you help me get them married?
Will you take your gift of matchmaking and the heart work and will you put it together
and will you help me to create a shaking that creates a tsunami wave of kingdom marriages?
And I said, yes, and here we are.
So friends, I just declare that yes over your hearts.
I don't care what you've tried in the past.
I don't care what didn't work in the past and it doesn't really matter how many failures,
how many disappointments.
All of that is part of the process to winning.
None of it is the antithesis of winning.
All of it is the process of winning.
All of it.
And you will win if you don't give up.
And I know that for sure.
So Lord, I thank you for your sons and daughters.
I thank you, Lord, for supernatural second wind that comes upon them in this call and
that they are willing to go out even if they toiled all night and put their nets down again
at your instruction and receive a full harvest in Jesus name.
Amen.
Love y'all.
