00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Welcome to Supernatural Saturday.

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:09.120
I'm pretty zoomed up this morning, didn't get a lot of sleep.

3
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:13.340
So I'm a little quirky, a little quirkier than usual.

4
00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:17.360
So because of that, I'm just going to go ahead and give a disclaimer at the very beginning

5
00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:22.160
that whatever I say, just take it to the Lord.

6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.280
No, I'm kidding.

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.400
I actually have been really excited about this Supernatural Saturday because God spoke

8
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.439
to me over the course of the week.

9
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:37.600
He was showing me some things when I was visiting my family in Columbus last week.

10
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.220
And then over the course of the week, he asked me to look at some scripture.

11
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:45.300
That doesn't always happen before Supernatural Saturday, but we're going to have a really

12
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:47.260
amazing time today.

13
00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:49.080
So the very first thing that I want to do is look to the Lord.

14
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.440
Father, we're so thankful for your goodness.

15
00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:53.480
We're so thankful for your love to us.

16
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:56.040
We're so thankful that you are for us.

17
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:59.360
And if you are for us, nothing can be against us.

18
00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:03.600
And so we just ask now that you would help us to clear our minds and hearts to receive

19
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.320
what it is that you have for us today, because we know that you want good things for us.

20
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:11.720
Every good and perfect gift comes down from you, the Father of Lights.

21
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:15.560
And so we thank you today for what you're going to impart to us.

22
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.960
Help us to have the capacity to receive it.

23
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:19.360
In Jesus name, amen.

24
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:20.360
Amen.

25
00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:24.080
All right, I want to do something a little different today.

26
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:26.880
I want everyone that can, I want you to close your eyes.

27
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.600
I'm going to start out with an activation.

28
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.400
Now as your eyes are closed, I just want you to listen to my voice for a few minutes.

29
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:41.120
So many of you know me, you've been in my program for some time.

30
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.440
You've heard some of my personal stories about struggles in my twenties and thirties with

31
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:51.520
anxiety, with post-traumatic stress disorder from childhood, from my first marriage, different

32
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.000
things that I've struggled with as a believer.

33
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.960
I think it's important to add that.

34
00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:01.000
I think a lot of people have this idea, this misnomer that when you come to Jesus, everything

35
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.440
is better now.

36
00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:05.880
And yes, your eternal state is better now.

37
00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:09.639
Your spirit man has come back home to the Father.

38
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.240
But we still live in this body that's still affected by things that we've been through.

39
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.620
The body truly does hold the score.

40
00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:23.200
And so it's a renewing of our minds that happens after we meet Jesus, where we're peeling off

41
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:24.200
the layers.

42
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:29.000
It's a part work piece of our life where we continue to move towards the truth and away

43
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.400
from the lies.

44
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.680
And that's been a long process for me.

45
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.320
I've made a lot of progress, been a long process, but sometimes I have a hard time and maybe

46
00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:41.320
this is you as well.

47
00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.480
And this is going to be the beginning of our Supernatural Saturday today.

48
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:54.100
Sometimes I have a hard time seeing myself in a positive outcome.

49
00:02:54.100 --> 00:02:56.380
Sometimes I worry a little bit too much.

50
00:02:56.380 --> 00:03:02.940
Sometimes I partner in my thought life with things going wrong a little bit too much.

51
00:03:02.940 --> 00:03:05.900
If you've been around for a little while, you know, at the beginning of the year, God

52
00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:12.000
specifically spoke to my heart and said, this year, 2026, I don't want you worrying about

53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.820
anything that you can't control.

54
00:03:14.820 --> 00:03:17.660
I don't want you to spend this year and worry, Jackie.

55
00:03:17.660 --> 00:03:20.980
If you can't control it, if you can control it, control it.

56
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:24.460
But if you can't give it to me.

57
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:34.580
And I didn't really know why he was specifically singling out that for this year in January.

58
00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:35.580
I didn't know.

59
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:40.660
But now that we're more than halfway through the year, I absolutely know why he was telling

60
00:03:40.660 --> 00:03:41.660
me that.

61
00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:44.780
He didn't want me to waste my year spinning my wheels because he knew there was going

62
00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:49.100
to be a lot of things to worry about this year.

63
00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:54.340
He knew that there were a lot of things coming down the pike that if I wanted to, I could

64
00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:56.540
sit around and worry about.

65
00:03:56.540 --> 00:04:02.580
If I wanted to, I could sit around and be distracted by trying to control when the control

66
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:06.980
was not mine to have.

67
00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:14.420
And I would love to tell you that I listened to him completely.

68
00:04:14.420 --> 00:04:15.420
I'd love to say that.

69
00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:16.420
Oh yeah.

70
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:22.980
You know, God warned me in January and so I definitely didn't sit around in 2026 wasting

71
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:23.980
my time worrying.

72
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:27.620
Did you know that worry is a waste?

73
00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:32.460
The old folks say it's like sitting in a rocking chair.

74
00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:38.580
You rock back and forth and back and forth, but you don't go anywhere.

75
00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:43.220
I'd love to tell you that I didn't waste a single moment of 2026 that I fully trusted

76
00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:47.180
the Lord with everything that I could not trust myself with, with everything that I

77
00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:48.180
couldn't control.

78
00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:49.180
I couldn't fix.

79
00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:50.180
I couldn't help.

80
00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:53.940
I would love to tell you that, but it simply wouldn't be true even though he warned me

81
00:04:53.940 --> 00:04:54.940
at the beginning of the year.

82
00:04:54.940 --> 00:04:59.980
Now I can tell you because of that, not even warning.

83
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.120
that admonition at the beginning of the year, because that invitation at the beginning of

84
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:11.160
the year, I did worry less about those things, but I did worry some.

85
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.380
I did worry some.

86
00:05:13.380 --> 00:05:16.280
I worried less, but I did worry some.

87
00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:20.760
I have not arrived yet at complete and full trust in God.

88
00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:28.880
And I don't believe that's a state that I may be in while I'm in this lifetime.

89
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:32.560
I hope to get better and better and better and better.

90
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.480
I hope to trust more and more and more and more.

91
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.320
I know a lot of people are afraid to pray for trust, because then they're like, oh,

92
00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:44.440
then you're going to give me things that I need to trust you for, and that doesn't sound

93
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:45.440
fun.

94
00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:48.960
I don't think that's the way it works, you guys.

95
00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:58.400
I believe this life tests you all on its own.

96
00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:07.400
Jesus says that there will be trials and tribulations in this earth, in this life.

97
00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:14.600
He said not to be surprised, actually, when you have those things, right?

98
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.600
Not to be surprised.

99
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.840
But he said, don't be overcome by those things, because I, talking about himself, have overcome

100
00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:23.760
those things.

101
00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:30.360
He actually says, you can be of good cheer because I've overcome the world, which I love.

102
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.640
And we lean into those things and those truths every day.

103
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:41.560
And we believe the scripture that says that we are above and not beneath, we're the head,

104
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.920
we're not the tail.

105
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.720
We read the back of the book, we see that we win.

106
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.720
But a lot of times the walking that out every day from faith to faith and from glory to

107
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.240
glory, it's hard.

108
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.120
We definitely fall off.

109
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:04.320
And depending on how many L's you have, I told my little niece, I was pulling out of

110
00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:11.800
the driveway yesterday to go to my appointment, and I saw her car was still up at the front

111
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.040
of the first, the place where she lives on my property.

112
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:20.800
I have a little Barnuminium up there that has housed many a person since I moved onto

113
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:21.880
this property.

114
00:07:21.880 --> 00:07:22.880
My brother lived there.

115
00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:24.520
My son lived there.

116
00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:25.640
My daughter lived there.

117
00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:30.560
My son-in-law before he married my daughter lived there.

118
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.200
My brother lived there again after he was run over by a car.

119
00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:34.480
Now my niece lives there.

120
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.640
My nephew has lived there.

121
00:07:36.640 --> 00:07:40.240
You know, just a place, a catch all for my family.

122
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.800
And when I was pulling out of my driveway, I live in the country, have a bit of a driveway.

123
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.760
And when I was pulling out of my driveway, I saw my niece's car was still at the house.

124
00:07:51.760 --> 00:07:57.440
She moved here at the beginning of June to go to college next spring, and she's just

125
00:07:57.440 --> 00:07:59.640
got a really good job.

126
00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:01.200
It's a challenging job, you guys.

127
00:08:01.200 --> 00:08:02.200
It's not an easy job.

128
00:08:02.200 --> 00:08:05.760
It's a job that she has never had before.

129
00:08:05.760 --> 00:08:11.520
It's as a barista at a very popular coffee shop.

130
00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:12.920
She's never done that work before.

131
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:17.920
She's always done stuff, in my opinion, that's really beneath her talent, beneath her intellect,

132
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.920
beneath her.

133
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.920
You know, it's one of those things where it's like, she's like, well, I'm just going to

134
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.240
go back to Papa John's.

135
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.240
That's where she used to work when she lived in Florida.

136
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.440
She worked the night shift.

137
00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:31.960
She worked the munchie shift where everyone smoked pot all day, and now they're coming

138
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.760
to get their pizzas at nighttime.

139
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:39.720
She's coming home covered with food at one o'clock in the morning.

140
00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:43.120
She applied for Papa John's when she got here.

141
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:49.240
I didn't plan on sharing any of this, you guys, but this is for a lot of somebodies,

142
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:50.680
so listen up.

143
00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:56.760
She applied for that when she got to Texas, and they hired her immediately on the spot,

144
00:08:56.760 --> 00:08:59.840
and she took the job.

145
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.840
When I found out she took the job, I prayed.

146
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:06.480
I said, God, I said, show her that she's better than this job.

147
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.080
I get a text message from her first day on the job at Papa John's, and she said, and

148
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:19.560
if you love Papa John's, listen, I'm not coming after your pizza place, okay, but you like

149
00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:20.560
to eat the pizza.

150
00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:25.480
You don't want to work at the pizza, and I will tell you one thing about Austin, Texas.

151
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.000
We have a lot of good food here.

152
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.080
Everywhere you go, there's super good food, and so guess what's not popular?

153
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.080
Fast food pizza.

154
00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:36.480
It's not a popular thing.

155
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.840
They put it in a place where, you know, they put it on the side of town where it's affordable

156
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:46.000
for people, and, you know, once again, her manager was outside all night smoking pot.

157
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.200
That should tell you what Papa John's is like in Austin, Texas, and so she texts me, and

158
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.800
she's like, I'm so bored.

159
00:09:53.800 --> 00:10:00.000
This is her first day of work, and I prayed the prayer, and I said, what's going on?

160
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.600
going on she's like we don't have any orders she's like you were right people

161
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:10.040
don't eat this kind of pizza in Austin Texas but she's gonna have to work till

162
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:15.480
midnight she goes and my manager is outside getting high and it's just me

163
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.960
and him that's the only two people that were there and this is what I said to

164
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.000
her and this is what I want to say to you and this is what God is saying to us

165
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:30.960
be better than Papa John's be better

166
00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:36.800
so guess what she came out she started applying for jobs and said where do you

167
00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:41.840
want to work and she said I want to work at this place several of our friends of

168
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.720
our family young people that are you know children of my friends here in

169
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.600
Austin they work at this coffee shop it's owned by Christians um it's a chain

170
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.000
as a franchise there's many of them but it's a really great environment and you

171
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.320
know learning to be a barista is a skill that you can use all through college the

172
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.080
skill you can use all over the place because guess what most people drink

173
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:09.080
coffee and it's not easy work you guys it's hard work you got to memorize a lot

174
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.560
of stuff you got to move really fast and my niece is an artist and she's a

175
00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:20.040
creative and guess what she doesn't move very fast she's pretty meticulous and so

176
00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:24.360
it's gonna stretch her it's gonna challenge her and so she applied and

177
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.680
because we have some friends and we know some people she got an interview

178
00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:30.560
otherwise without any experience she wouldn't have even got an interview but

179
00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:34.360
I want to let you know she did not get hired out of nepotism she did not get

180
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:39.760
hired because we knew someone the hiring manager at that location said that it

181
00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:44.040
was between her and another person and he chose her on her own merits he chose

182
00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:47.760
her because she has the kind of personality that they want working for

183
00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:55.200
them she's bubbly she's sweet she's kind she's friendly he said you can't

184
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:02.200
teach that he said and everything else you can teach but in the first few days

185
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.680
the first few shifts at this coffee shop she was already talking herself out of

186
00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:16.840
the challenge why because she's had too many L's in her life this this young

187
00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:22.800
woman is my brother who was homeless until this year he was homeless for 30

188
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:28.680
years almost until our family was able to buy him a home and now he is not

189
00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:37.120
homeless anymore this is her father she was raised by a mother who had just as

190
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.360
many problems as my brother her father many times as a child she was homeless

191
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:49.520
many times as a child she was living in a tent he was living in a hotel room he

192
00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:56.880
was in a living in a car during the summertime when it was her dad's turn to

193
00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:05.680
take custody of her and her twin brother my nephew twins my mother tried to get

194
00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:09.280
custody of those kids and she didn't she didn't succeed until they were 10 years

195
00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:14.080
old and so for 10 years that's how she lived and at 10 years old my mom got

196
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.120
custody of them they came to Florida they lived with her they went to school

197
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:21.520
they were so behind they were both autistic they were both dyslexic neither

198
00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:24.920
one of them to this day even though they're so smart they graduated because

199
00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:31.320
of my mom because of my you know stepdad because of my younger brother who's in

200
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.360
his 30s who lives in Florida these kids graduate at the top of their class with

201
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:42.360
honors from high school because they're both super smart can't smell with the

202
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:46.360
can't spell with the darn very dyslexic but super smart I can't wait to see what

203
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.200
those coffee cups say as far as people's names there's gonna be some definitely

204
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:57.960
viral memes with my niece spelling names on coffee cups but so smart so talented

205
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.800
so artistic my nephew is in the architecture program at University of

206
00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:06.720
Florida he is smart as a whip she's gonna be an animator she came here to

207
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:15.600
Austin to go to college so she said to me the other day was her third shift and

208
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.640
she said to me she said she said aunt Jackie it's just so hard she's like I

209
00:14:19.640 --> 00:14:23.280
told myself that I'll give it a month she said if it doesn't get better I'm

210
00:14:23.280 --> 00:14:29.040
gonna quit come on this is a word for somebody I tell myself I give it a month

211
00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:36.280
and if it doesn't get better I'm gonna quit I said no you're not I said that's

212
00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:42.280
not what we do here in this family I said you know why you're not gonna quit

213
00:14:42.280 --> 00:14:48.920
is because you need some W's you need some wins you've had too many L's you've

214
00:14:48.920 --> 00:14:56.600
had too many losses you need some wins and getting fired from this job that you

215
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.760
got on your own merit that other people wanted

216
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:14.500
And let's not forget, you're only 20 years old and it makes $22 an hour, let's go.

217
00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:16.060
You're not going to lose this job.

218
00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:17.900
You're not going to get fired from this job.

219
00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:19.640
You can do this.

220
00:15:19.640 --> 00:15:22.260
And so I started quizzing her on the coffee drinks.

221
00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:23.540
She made flashcards.

222
00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:28.080
She started pressing in, she started locking in.

223
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.800
And that's what today's Supernatural Saturday is about.

224
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:32.920
Some of you have just been accepting the L's.

225
00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:34.160
You've just been accepting the L's.

226
00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.160
You've been inviting the L's.

227
00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:36.860
It's time for some W's.

228
00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:40.800
And so as you close your eyes, here's the question that God asked me when I was in Columbus,

229
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:43.720
Ohio last week.

230
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:45.600
It was actually written on a billboard.

231
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.720
And I'm driving and I'm praying and I'm there for not great reasons.

232
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.800
My mother-in-law is having some health problems and I'm there and I'm just praying and I'm

233
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:56.400
a little bit stretched thin and I'm already kind of overwhelmed.

234
00:15:56.400 --> 00:16:01.280
And I'm feeling like this year has not been the year that I wanted, just like 2025 was

235
00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:02.280
not the year that I wanted.

236
00:16:02.280 --> 00:16:05.600
And I just really can't understand what is going on.

237
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:12.200
And I look up and I see this billboard and it says, Picture Yourself Winning.

238
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.400
So I want you to close your eyes.

239
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.160
And I want you to picture yourself winning.

240
00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:24.160
What does that look like?

241
00:16:27.160 --> 00:16:28.160
What does it look like?

242
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:37.160
What does it look like?

243
00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:42.280
We don't have any problem spending 45 minutes imagining the worst case scenarios in life

244
00:16:42.280 --> 00:16:45.320
and calling it just being realistic.

245
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.320
What if it doesn't work?

246
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.320
What if I fail?

247
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:48.320
What if I lose?

248
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:49.560
What if, you know, I run out of money?

249
00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:50.560
What if they say no?

250
00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.160
What if something happens to me, my family?

251
00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:56.360
What if I embarrass myself?

252
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.320
What if I get my hopes up just to be disappointed again?

253
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.320
We can picture that all day long.

254
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.319
But today God wants to interrupt that.

255
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.319
I'm going to get to the scripture that he led me to this week in just a second.

256
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.319
But I want you to take a few minutes here at the beginning, just picture yourself winning.

257
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.319
That's going to look different for every one of you.

258
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.319
What does it look like?

259
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:20.319
What does it look like for you to win?

260
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.319
Different scenarios for everyone.

261
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:25.319
What does winning look like?

262
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.320
What does it look like?

263
00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:37.320
We're going to get into picturing some things more in depth, doing some more activations

264
00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:40.320
later on today at Supernatural Saturday, later on in the call.

265
00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:45.320
But I just want you to put just the first impression that you have when you picture

266
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:46.320
yourself winning.

267
00:17:46.320 --> 00:17:47.320
Put it in the chat.

268
00:17:57.320 --> 00:17:58.320
Get it up there.

269
00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:00.320
Some of you, this is really hard.

270
00:18:00.320 --> 00:18:09.320
You haven't pictured yourself winning in a really long time.

271
00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:11.320
Some of you are immediately uncomfortable with that statement.

272
00:18:11.320 --> 00:18:14.320
Some of you are uncomfortable with that statement.

273
00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:22.320
Some of you are immediately uncomfortable with that statement.

274
00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:25.280
Some of you are immediately uncomfortable with that statement.

275
00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:51.280
God wants to interrupt previous broadcasts.

276
00:18:51.280 --> 00:18:52.300
Remember when we were kids we can all remember this.

277
00:18:52.300 --> 00:18:56.860
We're all old enough to remember that this broadcast has been interrupted.

278
00:18:56.860 --> 00:19:01.820
And then a news broadcast comes on, you're watching your favorite show, you're watching

279
00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:05.980
something and there's an interruption in the broadcast and some other broadcast starts,

280
00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:10.180
the news, some kind of special announcement from the government, whatever.

281
00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:17.500
And then it always says, now back to your previously scheduled broadcast.

282
00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:23.380
God wants to interrupt our mindsets this morning.

283
00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:30.120
He doesn't want you to go back to your previous mindsets this morning of disappointment and

284
00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:33.180
hopelessness and picturing yourself losing.

285
00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:36.820
If I would have said, hey, picture yourself losing, all of you would have been like, yeah,

286
00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:38.820
I can do that.

287
00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:42.260
No problem, Daggy.

288
00:19:42.260 --> 00:19:45.500
All I have to do is just think about yesterday.

289
00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:49.020
Think about the day before yesterday.

290
00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:50.620
Think about my last date.

291
00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:52.980
Think about my last dating app experience.

292
00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:57.820
Think about, it's not hard to look for evidence of losing.

293
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.080
So this week, as I was thinking about sharing this, picture yourself winning on Supernatural

294
00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:07.880
Saturday today.

295
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.360
As I was thinking about that, as I was pressing in and praying into that, I heard the Lord

296
00:20:14.360 --> 00:20:22.320
say to me, I want you to go look at Luke 5.

297
00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:26.440
So if you're familiar with Luke 5, it starts out with Jesus calling his first disciples.

298
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:32.560
It starts out with the story where Jesus comes to the shore, and he goes out on the boat

299
00:20:32.560 --> 00:20:35.080
and he teaches.

300
00:20:35.080 --> 00:20:38.360
This is where Simon Peter is going to be called, and other fishermen are going to be called

301
00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:41.480
to be disciples.

302
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.240
And so I began to read Luke 5, and I began to see Peter specifically.

303
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:53.240
You guys, Peter's exhausted.

304
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:58.000
And if you've ever seen the show The Chosen, I think that they depict Luke 5 really well.

305
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.640
There's a scene in The Chosen, I forget which season it is, but they depict this scene that

306
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:09.120
I'm about to rehearse with you, that I'm about to retell to you.

307
00:21:09.120 --> 00:21:13.000
They depict it really well.

308
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.720
Peter's been fishing all night, nothing.

309
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.620
And you guys, it's important that we understand that Peter and the other fishermen, they know

310
00:21:20.620 --> 00:21:21.840
how to fish.

311
00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:22.960
This is what they do.

312
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.080
This is literally their profession.

313
00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:28.680
They're not just out there having fun, it's not a hobby.

314
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.480
They're professional fishermen.

315
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.960
This is what they do.

316
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:39.400
They have experience, they have knowledge.

317
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:47.160
And in this scene, they had been fishing all night, and guess what, there were no fish.

318
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.160
There were no fish.

319
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:49.920
They hadn't caught one thing.

320
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.360
And you guys, I don't know how typical that was in their profession.

321
00:21:53.360 --> 00:21:56.380
I don't know how many times that had happened before.

322
00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:58.080
I don't know if it was an anomaly.

323
00:21:58.080 --> 00:22:03.200
I don't know if it was a rare occurrence that they didn't catch even one fish.

324
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.720
I don't know if it was a setup for this miracle that Jesus was going to perform.

325
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.760
I have no idea, because guess what, I'm not a fisherman.

326
00:22:10.760 --> 00:22:17.580
And I'm certainly not a fisherman from biblical times.

327
00:22:17.580 --> 00:22:19.880
So I can't give you context.

328
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.820
All I can say is that Peter was a very experienced fisherman.

329
00:22:23.820 --> 00:22:26.760
It was his profession.

330
00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:29.320
You know what wasn't his profession?

331
00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:32.280
Being an evangelist, being any kind of spiritual leader.

332
00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:39.520
Because if you're not familiar with Jewish history, let me share this with you.

333
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:44.240
All of the little boys, all the little boys, let's call it Torah school, all the little

334
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.180
boys would go to Torah school.

335
00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:49.600
Everybody would.

336
00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:51.380
Everybody would learn the scriptures.

337
00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:52.720
They would learn the scrolls.

338
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.240
They would learn the history.

339
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:58.280
They would learn the prayers, everybody.

340
00:22:58.280 --> 00:23:04.080
And then let's say about third-ish grade, about that age, if you weren't excelling as

341
00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:11.240
a scholar, a spiritual scholar, if you weren't excelling at these things, at these spiritual

342
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.560
things, at these religious things, if you weren't excelling, guess what, you got sent

343
00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:18.680
home to just do manual labor.

344
00:23:18.760 --> 00:23:23.160
You got sent home to be a fisherman or, you know, some kind of agricultural job.

345
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.220
You got sent home.

346
00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:30.100
You no longer were going to Torah school, okay?

347
00:23:30.100 --> 00:23:32.700
Only the best of the best were kept after that age.

348
00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:36.000
And those people became, you know, the rabbis.

349
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.620
Those people hopefully would become a rabbi, but they became the scribes.

350
00:23:39.620 --> 00:23:44.920
They became the people, you know, that Jesus was always yelling at, basically, okay?

351
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:58.840
So Peter wasn't looking for, you know, a life doing ministry, doing spiritual stuff.

352
00:23:58.840 --> 00:23:59.840
He was a fisherman.

353
00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.840
This is what he did.

354
00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:02.360
Whether he liked it or not, I don't know.

355
00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:04.240
Was his dad a fisherman before him?

356
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.240
Probably.

357
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:11.000
The bottom line is, is that he knew fish and there were no fish there.

358
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.800
So what does Jesus say to these folks?

359
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:18.480
He says specifically to Simon Peter, he says, hey, go back out where?

360
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:24.040
Into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

361
00:24:24.040 --> 00:24:27.800
And I love Peter because instead of just being like, okay, you know, let me go do this.

362
00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:28.960
Let me go be obedient.

363
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.560
He's like most of us.

364
00:24:31.560 --> 00:24:32.560
He claps back.

365
00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:35.960
Jesus, I already tried that.

366
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:41.240
Come on, you guys know it's true.

367
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:46.080
God tells us something and we're not like in the awe of, oh my God, God's talking to

368
00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:47.080
me.

369
00:24:47.080 --> 00:24:48.080
God is talking to me.

370
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:49.560
He's giving me instruction right now.

371
00:24:49.560 --> 00:24:50.560
Wow.

372
00:24:50.560 --> 00:24:51.560
This is amazing.

373
00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:54.280
I can hear God's voice.

374
00:24:54.280 --> 00:24:56.280
How privileged, how honored, how special.

375
00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:58.280
No, we argue with God.

376
00:24:58.280 --> 00:24:59.040
That's what we do.

377
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.640
valious little brats, that's what we do.

378
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.440
And Peter says, I already tried that.

379
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.760
But he can feel what Jesus is giving off.

380
00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:17.560
Jesus had just been teaching.

381
00:25:17.560 --> 00:25:19.920
He can feel that this guy is different.

382
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.840
He can feel that something supernatural is happening.

383
00:25:22.840 --> 00:25:29.720
And so he said, yes, I already did that, but I will do it again, right?

384
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:33.120
So I want you to think about the I already tried statement from Peter.

385
00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:37.180
This is where I feel like God wants us to go today.

386
00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:39.160
We all have an I already tried.

387
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:42.160
You already tried to fix it.

388
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:43.680
You already tried to get healthy.

389
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.920
You already tried to believe, put yourself out there, let down your net, whatever your

390
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:48.920
net is.

391
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:54.800
You already tried whatever it is, and you came back empty.

392
00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:57.240
I don't want to make this completely about your love lives, you guys.

393
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.160
And the reason why I don't is because for some of you, that's not the first Jenga block

394
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:05.600
that you need to be pulling out right now.

395
00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:09.100
I don't want to hurt your feelings, but there are people here that are nowhere near ready

396
00:26:09.100 --> 00:26:10.100
for a relationship.

397
00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:11.400
And God bless you.

398
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.960
You're here to be in a process, but you're here to have some wins, some Ws, and some

399
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:21.140
other areas that will lead you to a place where you can trust another human being to

400
00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:22.440
partner with you.

401
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.360
You are not to a place where you can do that.

402
00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:26.480
You are not to a place where you can trust someone else.

403
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:28.720
Guys, it's not about how much money you have.

404
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:30.720
It's not about how much weight you have to lose.

405
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:35.500
It's not about, you know, how guys, how successful you are and how much you have to build.

406
00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:40.520
This is about being able to let someone in, in to me see.

407
00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:48.480
And some of you need some trust and some wins before you get to a place where you can let

408
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.200
someone else in.

409
00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:52.560
Mmm.

410
00:26:52.560 --> 00:26:57.160
Whatever else you've been making it about, it ain't about that.

411
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:58.160
It's not about that.

412
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.760
God has never measured us on outward things, you guys.

413
00:27:01.760 --> 00:27:03.400
We're always measured by the heart.

414
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:06.360
We're always measured by the heart.

415
00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:08.360
So I don't want to make this fully about your love lives.

416
00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:12.480
For some of you, it will be about that, but I don't want to make it fully about that.

417
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:16.400
But I will tell you this on Ask Jackie the other night, by the way, where were all y'all

418
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:17.400
at?

419
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:18.400
No one was there.

420
00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:21.040
There were 60 people there, all right?

421
00:27:21.040 --> 00:27:22.040
It was good.

422
00:27:22.040 --> 00:27:28.080
But one of our sisters in this community has met a really great guy and they're dating

423
00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:29.920
and it's really great.

424
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:31.960
And guess what?

425
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:38.920
She met him trying something that she had tried in the past that had not worked before.

426
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.880
And she didn't know it, but that confirmed the message for this morning when she told

427
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:46.080
her story.

428
00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:49.280
She tried something, not something different.

429
00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:58.240
She tried the same thing, just in a different timing, as a different version of herself.

430
00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.240
And guess what?

431
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.240
It worked.

432
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.360
It really did.

433
00:28:03.360 --> 00:28:06.080
So I want you to think about the, I already tried statement.

434
00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:07.400
What comes up immediately?

435
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:12.320
Don't go digging around in your conscience, trying to find the best I already tried because

436
00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:16.040
like, Oh, I got to come up with a good one because I want to try it again.

437
00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:19.240
And now it's magically going to work because of this magic sermon.

438
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:20.240
No.

439
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.320
What's the first thing that came to mind?

440
00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:26.360
It may not be the thing that you're wanting to try again.

441
00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:31.400
It may not even be the most important thing that you tried before and didn't work in your

442
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.400
mind.

443
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.280
But remember, God is a strategist.

444
00:28:36.280 --> 00:28:38.200
He's a strategist.

445
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.400
Can I remind you that they did go out?

446
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.400
They did get fish.

447
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.760
They got so many fish than they had ever gotten before.

448
00:28:44.760 --> 00:28:47.680
But then as soon as that happened, he's like, Oh, lay down your nets.

449
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.680
You're not fishermen anymore.

450
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.680
Come with me.

451
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.480
So it's like, all right, it's not really as important as you think it is.

452
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:10.960
All right, go ahead and put up the very first thing that came to your, I already tried mind.

453
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:11.960
That's a good one.

454
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:17.240
Jen said, I tried to, I tried to heal from anxiety.

455
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:29.000
I tried to heal from anxiety.

456
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.360
Some people are like, I tried to find another stream of income.

457
00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:35.760
I tried to trust someone with my heart.

458
00:29:35.760 --> 00:29:37.760
I tried to lose weight.

459
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.800
I tried to heal from past trauma.

460
00:29:41.800 --> 00:29:43.600
Tried to get organized.

461
00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:45.720
I tried to find a new job.

462
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.000
I tried to build community because these are all really, really good.

463
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.440
I hope you guys are taking a look at them.

464
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.040
People are being really honest in the chat.

465
00:29:56.040 --> 00:29:58.920
They're like, I tried.

466
00:29:58.920 --> 00:29:59.920
I prayed.

467
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:00.040
I tried.

468
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.040
I let down the net and it came back empty, right?

469
00:30:07.040 --> 00:30:11.400
Me too, you guys, just so you know, me too.

470
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.000
And here's the thing, you know, a lot of us have some real serious needs.

471
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.120
We need a healing like right now.

472
00:30:17.120 --> 00:30:19.160
We need finances like right now.

473
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.500
There are things that we need right now.

474
00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:24.080
We need to put that net out and we need that net to be full.

475
00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:26.880
It's not a want, it's a need.

476
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.180
And we're going to pray over that.

477
00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:38.040
I have some wants, but I also have some needs, but I just want to let you know that your

478
00:30:38.040 --> 00:30:42.580
wants are important to the Lord as well.

479
00:30:42.580 --> 00:30:43.580
They are.

480
00:30:43.580 --> 00:30:45.780
Your wants are important to the Lord as well.

481
00:30:45.780 --> 00:30:55.900
All right, you guys, it's a very emotional morning here.

482
00:30:55.900 --> 00:31:03.660
So Peter, he does say that he already tried, but then he does something really important.

483
00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:11.100
He says, nevertheless, at your word, I will try again.

484
00:31:11.100 --> 00:31:21.620
I will let down my net, nevertheless, at your word, guys, that's the key right there.

485
00:31:21.620 --> 00:31:27.820
He was talking about the words of Jesus, who is the word.

486
00:31:27.820 --> 00:31:32.300
At your word, I'm going to try again.

487
00:31:32.300 --> 00:31:38.780
And then we know what happens, you guys, he goes out, he lets down the net and it becomes

488
00:31:38.780 --> 00:31:39.780
so full.

489
00:31:39.780 --> 00:31:45.180
There are so many fish that the net begins to break and he has to call the other boats

490
00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:46.500
that are in vicinity to him.

491
00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:50.060
He's like, Hey y'all come over here and help me.

492
00:31:50.060 --> 00:31:55.180
There's so many fish, the nets can't hold them.

493
00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:59.460
His previous experience, you guys from the night before told him to expect an empty net.

494
00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:01.140
Now it's not that he's never had any wins.

495
00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:02.140
He's a fisherman.

496
00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:06.140
He wouldn't be fishing if he was such a bad fisherman that he never caught any fish.

497
00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:09.820
We know that he's had wins in the past, but he's never had this big of a win.

498
00:32:09.820 --> 00:32:17.820
And it sounds like he's had a lot of losses, a lot of losses.

499
00:32:18.820 --> 00:32:25.900
But what's so important to understand is that his previous experience the night before,

500
00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:29.580
that is the thing that taught him to expect an empty net.

501
00:32:29.580 --> 00:32:33.820
His previous experience is what taught him and told him to expect an empty net.

502
00:32:33.820 --> 00:32:34.820
I already tried.

503
00:32:34.820 --> 00:32:40.000
This can't work because I already tried and it didn't work.

504
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:41.000
But guess what?

505
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.020
His previous experience wasn't a word from the Lord.

506
00:32:43.020 --> 00:32:44.700
It wasn't a word from the word.

507
00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:49.980
It wasn't a prophecy.

508
00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:54.580
And what I look at when I look at the story is I wonder how many of us, including myself,

509
00:32:54.580 --> 00:32:56.580
are walking into our future.

510
00:32:56.580 --> 00:33:01.820
And when I say our future, I mean today, yesterday, today was our future.

511
00:33:01.820 --> 00:33:02.820
Tomorrow is our future.

512
00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:08.820
But we're walking into these little parts of our future, carrying the pictures from

513
00:33:08.820 --> 00:33:09.820
our past.

514
00:33:09.820 --> 00:33:11.340
And it doesn't have to be your far past, you guys.

515
00:33:11.340 --> 00:33:14.860
It could just be yesterday.

516
00:33:14.860 --> 00:33:18.780
Just could be last week.

517
00:33:18.780 --> 00:33:26.340
You're still operating in the mindsets of the L's that you've been receiving from last

518
00:33:26.340 --> 00:33:28.820
week, last month, six months ago.

519
00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:31.660
We don't realize that we're doing it.

520
00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:43.180
A lot of us picture ourselves failing before we even get started.

521
00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:45.540
It's so easy to picture yourself losing.

522
00:33:45.540 --> 00:33:50.500
You picture the conversation and you picture it going badly before you've even had it.

523
00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:56.580
You picture the door closing before you've even knocked on it.

524
00:33:56.580 --> 00:34:06.540
Come on, you guys.

525
00:34:06.540 --> 00:34:08.980
I see your comments.

526
00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:12.659
So today we're going to begin to practice something different.

527
00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:17.500
Today we are going to practice picturing ourselves winning.

528
00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:19.860
And I know that you think that sounds easy and fun, but guess what?

529
00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:21.820
It's not going to be easy.

530
00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:25.699
I've been doing it ever since last week when God spoke to me and said, picture yourself

531
00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:26.699
winning, Jackie.

532
00:34:26.699 --> 00:34:27.699
And you know what?

533
00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:33.139
Every time I try to play the movie in my mind of me winning, I'm losing in the movie.

534
00:34:33.139 --> 00:34:40.199
I'm like, oh wait, how do I switch this movie?

535
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:43.940
My imagination is stuck on the negative somehow.

536
00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:46.420
You guys, imagination is a beautiful thing.

537
00:34:46.420 --> 00:34:49.940
Being able to sit around and daydream is a beautiful thing.

538
00:34:49.940 --> 00:34:55.260
But a lot of us are having day nightmares, not dreams, sitting around on our couch, imagining

539
00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:59.180
a future that hasn't even happened yet and everything's going wrong in that future.

540
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:16.140
Now, I don't want to tell you that if you picture having a Lamborghini in your driveway

541
00:35:16.140 --> 00:35:18.880
hard enough that you're going to manifest it and you're going to go out there and it's

542
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.880
going to be there.

543
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.660
We're not talking about that.

544
00:35:22.660 --> 00:35:30.740
We're talking about coming into alignment with the Word of God.

545
00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:37.780
And the Word of God in this instance is God wants us to picture ourselves winning.

546
00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:41.220
Why?

547
00:35:41.220 --> 00:35:42.220
Not because you deserve it.

548
00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:45.820
A lot of you won't be able to picture it because you know that you haven't been doing

549
00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:47.980
what you need to do.

550
00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:48.980
You haven't been locking in.

551
00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:51.140
You haven't been doing the work.

552
00:35:51.140 --> 00:35:52.380
You've been doing other things.

553
00:35:52.380 --> 00:35:53.660
Some of you may even be sinning.

554
00:35:53.660 --> 00:35:57.580
You may even be doing things that you know are completely wrong.

555
00:35:57.580 --> 00:36:01.340
And I just want to let you know, you winning is not based on your merit.

556
00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:08.780
It is based on what Jesus did on the cross.

557
00:36:08.780 --> 00:36:12.420
Your access is based on what Jesus did on the cross.

558
00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:15.940
It's not based on your performance.

559
00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:22.540
That's a very hard pill for a lot of people to swallow.

560
00:36:22.540 --> 00:36:24.060
Very hard to swallow.

561
00:36:24.060 --> 00:36:25.060
You want to earn it.

562
00:36:25.060 --> 00:36:26.060
You want to deserve it.

563
00:36:26.060 --> 00:36:28.900
And then you want to demand it because you did what you were supposed to do.

564
00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:35.260
Now God do your part.

565
00:36:35.260 --> 00:36:47.380
Some of my most favorite blessings have come completely absent from any of my own effort.

566
00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:54.500
My favorite blessings, David Dorman is an example of that.

567
00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:59.300
I would have never put myself on even the long list of someone who was ready for a love

568
00:36:59.300 --> 00:37:00.300
story.

569
00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.300
I will tell you that right now.

570
00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:02.720
But you know what?

571
00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:06.600
When I was up at four o'clock in the morning from drinking too much caffeine yesterday,

572
00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:07.840
God was talking to me.

573
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.840
And you know what?

574
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:09.840
So it was a blessing.

575
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:10.840
See, God takes everything.

576
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:11.840
Romans 8, 28.

577
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:13.640
And he turns it into our good.

578
00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:16.800
So I'm up and you know what God said to me?

579
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:18.420
He didn't actually say it to me.

580
00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:20.840
He let me be reminded of something.

581
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:26.640
You know what I was reminded of?

582
00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:33.120
I was reminded of one time when I called out in prayer and said, God, I want this.

583
00:37:33.120 --> 00:37:34.120
And then it happened.

584
00:37:34.120 --> 00:37:39.320
Has that ever happened to you?

585
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.400
Can I tell you what it was?

586
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:50.440
I was at the very end of a very toxic, very unhealthy, very detrimental marriage.

587
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.000
I was living in the guest bedroom and I had been living in the guest bedroom for months.

588
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:55.320
You guys, I was very sick.

589
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.840
I was in and out of the emergency room.

590
00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:59.520
My pastor had gone to prison.

591
00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:00.720
The church had fallen apart.

592
00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:01.720
I had no friends.

593
00:38:01.720 --> 00:38:02.720
I had no family.

594
00:38:02.720 --> 00:38:09.960
And I was married to someone who absolutely hated me.

595
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:15.920
I had a almost five-year-old daughter.

596
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.720
I was hanging on by a thread.

597
00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:27.720
And I was in that guest bedroom and I was in there and I knew that my marriage was over

598
00:38:27.720 --> 00:38:32.200
and I knew that he was going to be moving out and we were going to be getting a divorce.

599
00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:34.040
I was just so exhausted, you guys.

600
00:38:34.040 --> 00:38:35.320
I was skin and bones.

601
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.560
I had panic disorder.

602
00:38:37.560 --> 00:38:40.560
I had chronic fatigue syndrome.

603
00:38:40.560 --> 00:38:46.800
I had everything you can think of.

604
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.800
And you know what?

605
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:48.800
I cried out.

606
00:38:49.240 --> 00:38:53.640
God brought this to my mind last night.

607
00:38:53.640 --> 00:38:54.960
I didn't even remember it.

608
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:55.960
And you know what?

609
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:59.840
I don't even think that I put two and two together until last night.

610
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:05.720
Until last night, I don't even know that I realized that I said this to the Lord and

611
00:39:05.720 --> 00:39:12.760
then it happened.

612
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.480
I know everyone's on pins and needles, so this is what happened.

613
00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:21.240
I was in the room and I was crying out to God and I was crying and I was overwhelmed

614
00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:26.720
and I was overcome and the stress was about to take me under.

615
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:34.880
And I yelled out to God, I just want to be cherished.

616
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:40.400
Such an odd thing to say.

617
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.320
Such an odd thing to say.

618
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:45.440
But that's what I said.

619
00:39:45.520 --> 00:39:47.520
And you know what?

620
00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:51.040
Probably just a few months later, David Dorman moved in next door to me.

621
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:08.280
And I'm going to try not to cry, but if I can, if I can say that there's one word that

622
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:20.960
describes my husband's behavior towards me, that would be the word.

623
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:25.200
That would be the word.

624
00:40:25.200 --> 00:40:30.800
After an entire lifetime of being abandoned, after an entire lifetime of being forgotten

625
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:42.720
about, of being collateral damage, of being left behind by my family, by my previous husband,

626
00:40:42.720 --> 00:40:48.960
by all the people in my life, I can tell you that I've lived the last 20 years as the most

627
00:40:48.960 --> 00:41:01.360
valuable and most cherished woman alive by my husband.

628
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.960
Did I somehow earn the manifestation of that prayer?

629
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:05.800
No, I will tell you that I did not.

630
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.960
In fact, my trust in my faith was probably at the lowest that it had ever been in my

631
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:12.560
life.

632
00:41:12.560 --> 00:41:15.920
So when I say I want you to picture yourself winning, I don't want you to picture yourself

633
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:18.120
winning because of anything that you've done.

634
00:41:18.160 --> 00:41:22.360
I want you to picture yourself winning because of who you are, and that is a child of God.

635
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:27.560
A child of God.

636
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.120
Because you may not know it, and I certainly didn't, but you are loved and you are

637
00:41:36.120 --> 00:41:39.520
cherished, you are fathered, you are wanted.

638
00:41:39.720 --> 00:41:43.520
You are thought about in ways that you could never comprehend.

639
00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:53.120
All right, so let's do some activations.

640
00:41:53.520 --> 00:41:54.720
We only have a few more minutes.

641
00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:02.320
So I asked you to picture yourself winning, but now I want you to find the empty net.

642
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:08.320
I want you to think about one area of your life where disappointment from the past has

643
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:11.320
taught you to expect yourself to come up empty handed.

644
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:12.320
I don't want you to pick 10 things.

645
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.720
I just want you to pick one thing, and I want you to pick the first thing that comes to

646
00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:16.320
mind, not the thing you want it to be.

647
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.320
Now you have that thing in your mind, and I want you to think about it.

648
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:26.320
The first thing that comes to mind, not the thing you want it to be.

649
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:33.320
Now you have that thing in your mind right now.

650
00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:36.320
The thing that's probably never going to happen, that you've tried before.

651
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:38.320
This just probably isn't for me.

652
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:40.320
Nothing ever changes.

653
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:43.320
Always goes wrong.

654
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.320
This empty net that you've been carrying around.

655
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:56.320
Put it in the chat.

656
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:15.320
Come on, you guys.

657
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:18.320
You can't replace a picture that you haven't even identified.

658
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:19.320
Put it in the chat.

659
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.320
Some of you are putting some really good ones in there.

660
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:25.320
Relationship with your children.

661
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:31.320
I've personally seen so many people in this program restore their relationship with their

662
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:32.320
children.

663
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:35.320
So many people.

664
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:37.320
That's the win.

665
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:38.320
That's the W.

666
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:39.320
That's the big W.

667
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.320
Come on, you guys.

668
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:55.320
Whatever happened before in this area does not get to predict what happens next.

669
00:43:57.320 --> 00:43:58.320
Get that.

670
00:43:58.320 --> 00:43:59.320
Get it.

671
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:00.320
Get it.

672
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:01.320
Get it.

673
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:03.320
Okay.

674
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:05.320
All right, you guys.

675
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:07.320
Now, I want you to do something.

676
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:10.320
I want you to close your eyes.

677
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.320
I want you to picture that empty net.

678
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:14.320
And I want you to picture it full.

679
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:17.320
Okay.

680
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:19.320
All right, you guys.

681
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.320
Now, I want you to do something.

682
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:24.320
I want you to close your eyes.

683
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:26.320
I want you to picture that empty net.

684
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.320
And I want you to picture it full.

685
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:44.320
I want you to picture it full.

686
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:51.320
Full of whatever it is that you said that you put down and tried to catch, but it's

687
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:52.320
always been eluding you.

688
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:53.320
I want you to picture it full.

689
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.640
Come on, picture it, picture it in detail, picture it full.

690
00:45:05.640 --> 00:45:09.720
For those of you that are like marriage, picture that wedding day, picture your dress, picture

691
00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:10.720
the stuff.

692
00:45:10.720 --> 00:45:14.960
If you're a man, picture you're standing at the end of the aisle and your beautiful bride

693
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.360
is walking towards you.

694
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:23.880
You know, let your mind's eye go into the marriage, to the honeymoon, to the days after,

695
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:26.240
to the walks hand in hand, to all the things.

696
00:45:26.240 --> 00:45:31.400
For those of you that were putting down finances, picture your bank account being full.

697
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:34.880
Picture you being able, one thing that you can't do when you're always struggling is

698
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.560
you cannot help other people, hardly at all.

699
00:45:37.560 --> 00:45:39.880
I want you to picture yourself helping other people.

700
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:43.080
I want you to picture yourself just writing the check.

701
00:45:43.080 --> 00:45:48.200
I mean, I know we don't do that anymore, but it's easy to picture, writing the check.

702
00:45:48.200 --> 00:45:55.840
You know, picture yourself giving the money, donating the thing.

703
00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:57.440
Picture yourself walking into that house.

704
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:03.640
You guys, I never owned a house in my entire life until just four years ago.

705
00:46:03.640 --> 00:46:04.640
I'm 51.

706
00:46:04.640 --> 00:46:06.440
So however old that is, you do the math.

707
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:10.840
I never, and you know what I've done with this house?

708
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:12.080
I have shared it.

709
00:46:12.080 --> 00:46:14.280
I've shared this property with countless people.

710
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:19.040
I named some of them at the beginning, but so, so, so many people have lived on this

711
00:46:19.040 --> 00:46:22.320
property since I purchased it four years ago.

712
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.860
You probably thought I had this property for a long time by me describing how many

713
00:46:25.860 --> 00:46:29.980
people have lived here, but no.

714
00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:31.040
People transitioning.

715
00:46:31.040 --> 00:46:36.480
I even had a matchmaking client who moved here to be with someone that I matched her

716
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.840
with and they dated for a year and then they decided not to get married.

717
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.760
There was just some things that needed to happen and neither one of them were willing

718
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:44.760
to do those things.

719
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:45.760
Neither one of them were bad people.

720
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:50.240
They just really weren't willing to do what it took to get to the next level with each

721
00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:51.240
other.

722
00:46:51.240 --> 00:46:55.200
And so she was just kind of displaced because she had moved here and guess what?

723
00:46:55.200 --> 00:46:59.800
I let her live in that front house until she figured out her next move.

724
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.600
I've been able to be so generous.

725
00:47:02.600 --> 00:47:07.120
It's hard to be generous when you don't have anything to be generous with.

726
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:10.240
You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.

727
00:47:10.240 --> 00:47:18.040
Picture yourself being so generous because some of you, you want to be generous.

728
00:47:18.040 --> 00:47:23.200
I want to let you know that even when I didn't have anything though, I was very generous.

729
00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:25.720
So it needs to be a lifestyle.

730
00:47:25.720 --> 00:47:28.200
If I had $2, I would give away one of them.

731
00:47:28.200 --> 00:47:40.160
So make sure that you, if you want to be generous, that you're being generous just in general.

732
00:47:40.160 --> 00:47:44.400
Picture yourself, you guys, with that full net.

733
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:48.880
What does it look like?

734
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:56.320
What would it look like?

735
00:47:56.320 --> 00:48:01.280
What would it look like if you pull that net out and it was full?

736
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:05.840
And so now what I want you to do is I want you to go ahead and when we get off this call

737
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:10.560
together, I want you to put that net back in the water.

738
00:48:10.560 --> 00:48:16.920
I want you to spend some time just putting that net back in the water.

739
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:24.000
You might get an extra instruction, you guys, besides just this prophetic activation of

740
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:27.200
doing something in your mind's eye.

741
00:48:27.200 --> 00:48:32.560
You might feel prompted to send that email again, fill out that application again, make

742
00:48:32.560 --> 00:48:39.440
that phone call, make the appointment, have the conversation, rejoin that gym.

743
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:43.360
Yeah, it didn't work last time because you didn't work it.

744
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:46.000
You didn't have the gumption to do it.

745
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:47.600
You prioritized other things.

746
00:48:47.600 --> 00:48:51.800
You guys, I'm just going to tell you one thing that I know for sure because I've personally

747
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:55.520
experienced it and I've watched so many other people experience it.

748
00:48:55.520 --> 00:48:58.760
Getting healthy is not easy.

749
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:02.760
The grace is there for you to do it, but you have to show up.

750
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:07.080
Your body has to show up to the challenge and to the plan.

751
00:49:07.240 --> 00:49:12.640
It's easy to make that the last thing on your list, the last thing on your list to move

752
00:49:12.640 --> 00:49:17.240
your body, the last thing on your list to address your health.

753
00:49:17.240 --> 00:49:22.320
But the reason why I was in Columbus last week was because my mother-in-law, who's beautiful,

754
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:27.560
wonderful woman of God, who has prioritized serving other people, she's prioritized good

755
00:49:27.560 --> 00:49:30.740
things, you guys, really good things.

756
00:49:30.740 --> 00:49:33.440
She has served her church for 40 years.

757
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:38.600
She even has her own parking spot at a megachurch because she has served so well.

758
00:49:38.600 --> 00:49:40.040
She has helped so many people.

759
00:49:40.040 --> 00:49:41.640
She's led so many people to the Lord.

760
00:49:41.640 --> 00:49:43.360
She has so much eternal fruit.

761
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:44.360
It's not funny.

762
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:52.920
But you know what she hasn't prioritized herself, herself.

763
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.960
And so now she's in a situation where she has no choice but to prioritize herself because

764
00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:58.960
...

765
00:49:58.960 --> 00:49:59.960
...

766
00:49:59.960 --> 00:50:00.960
...

767
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.000
of what's happening with her, her body, her health.

768
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:01.960
...

769
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:02.960
...

770
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:03.960
...

771
00:50:06.860 --> 00:50:09.720
And yeah, she's 82, but this is someone

772
00:50:09.720 --> 00:50:11.180
who wanted to live to be 120.

773
00:50:11.180 --> 00:50:12.900
So we got a few years left here.

774
00:50:12.900 --> 00:50:14.700
We've got to get to the finish line.

775
00:50:15.600 --> 00:50:18.020
She did admit to me that 120 is sounding pretty old

776
00:50:18.020 --> 00:50:21.500
right now, and I agree.

777
00:50:23.500 --> 00:50:25.380
It's like, yeah, we might make it to 120,

778
00:50:25.380 --> 00:50:27.180
but what would we look like?

779
00:50:27.180 --> 00:50:31.440
That may sound vain, but I don't know about that.

780
00:50:34.860 --> 00:50:36.140
I don't know about that.

781
00:50:39.380 --> 00:50:40.860
You might be taping those puppies up

782
00:50:40.860 --> 00:50:42.660
like pancake batter in a sock.

783
00:50:48.780 --> 00:50:49.820
That's just for the ladies,

784
00:50:49.820 --> 00:50:52.140
and they understand it, gentlemen, so everyone's good.

785
00:50:52.140 --> 00:50:53.700
All right, so.

786
00:50:58.080 --> 00:51:00.760
You might feel prompted to change

787
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.720
your priorities a little bit.

788
00:51:07.860 --> 00:51:09.900
You want to be healthy, but you don't take

789
00:51:09.900 --> 00:51:11.980
that good care of yourself.

790
00:51:11.980 --> 00:51:13.620
So you might be prompted to,

791
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:17.380
and I don't just mean physically, maybe emotionally.

792
00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:20.020
Maybe you're going to be prompted to reset the boundary.

793
00:51:20.020 --> 00:51:21.680
You've been really lax on your boundary

794
00:51:21.680 --> 00:51:23.560
with a person, with a situation.

795
00:51:23.560 --> 00:51:25.600
Maybe you're going to reset the boundary.

796
00:51:27.180 --> 00:51:32.180
I don't know who this is for.

797
00:51:33.900 --> 00:51:35.460
I don't know how many gentlemen are on here,

798
00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:37.180
or how many gentlemen are going to be listening

799
00:51:37.180 --> 00:51:40.900
in the replay, but I felt prompted to say, ask her again.

800
00:51:44.020 --> 00:51:45.860
So I'm going to go ahead and say that.

801
00:51:50.700 --> 00:51:53.000
The business idea, the writing.

802
00:51:57.180 --> 00:52:02.180
Yes, yes, you guys, whoo.

803
00:52:18.620 --> 00:52:21.340
So this week, we're going to picture ourselves winning.

804
00:52:22.500 --> 00:52:25.420
If there's any more instruction, wonderful.

805
00:52:25.420 --> 00:52:27.900
If God speaks to you and tells you some very specific

806
00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:30.360
things to do, that's amazing.

807
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:33.640
But even if he doesn't, I want you to picture yourself

808
00:52:33.640 --> 00:52:36.140
putting that net back in the water,

809
00:52:36.140 --> 00:52:38.840
and I want you to picture yourself pulling it up full.

810
00:52:39.980 --> 00:52:41.820
And if you have to picture that every single day,

811
00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:43.460
picture it every single day.

812
00:52:45.740 --> 00:52:47.120
Write down what you see.

813
00:52:48.660 --> 00:52:52.060
Steward the word that God is releasing over us today.

814
00:52:52.060 --> 00:52:52.900
Steward it well.

815
00:52:52.900 --> 00:52:55.320
Be a good and wise steward of this word.

816
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:01.580
I just want to let you know that it does not benefit God

817
00:53:01.580 --> 00:53:05.000
in any way, shape, or form for his children to lose.

818
00:53:08.700 --> 00:53:10.780
It doesn't benefit for us.

819
00:53:10.780 --> 00:53:12.500
It doesn't make us look more holy.

820
00:53:12.500 --> 00:53:14.820
It doesn't make us look more righteous.

821
00:53:14.820 --> 00:53:18.240
It doesn't make him look like a better father in heaven.

822
00:53:18.240 --> 00:53:20.860
In fact, it doesn't look good on him.

823
00:53:20.860 --> 00:53:24.440
If his children are always losing.

824
00:53:27.940 --> 00:53:29.460
It doesn't look good, does it?

825
00:53:33.260 --> 00:53:34.500
It doesn't look good.

826
00:53:39.340 --> 00:53:41.140
God wants you to be blessed.

827
00:53:41.140 --> 00:53:43.020
He wants you to have a full net.

828
00:53:44.300 --> 00:53:46.700
Especially if you've done your hard work

829
00:53:46.700 --> 00:53:49.540
and you're gonna do good things with what's in that net.

830
00:53:49.540 --> 00:53:50.860
You're gonna share.

831
00:53:50.860 --> 00:53:52.940
You're gonna be generous with your lives.

832
00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:58.320
Matthew 5, the Sermon on the Mount,

833
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:00.820
a different book, same chapter.

834
00:54:00.820 --> 00:54:05.820
We have a scripture that says be generous with your lives.

835
00:54:06.220 --> 00:54:08.680
It's the scripture of the city set on the hill.

836
00:54:08.680 --> 00:54:10.700
But if you read it in the message translation,

837
00:54:10.700 --> 00:54:13.300
it says be generous with your life.

838
00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:15.360
Keep an open house with your life.

839
00:54:19.700 --> 00:54:22.060
So that people would see your generosity.

840
00:54:22.060 --> 00:54:25.080
They would see your love and that they would know

841
00:54:25.080 --> 00:54:26.940
that you have a good father in heaven.

842
00:54:31.420 --> 00:54:36.420
It benefits God tremendously for you to win.

843
00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:45.300
Woo, all right, friends.

844
00:54:49.700 --> 00:54:51.140
Let's activate this.

845
00:54:51.140 --> 00:54:54.620
There are some very specific wins that I felt

846
00:54:54.620 --> 00:54:57.540
when I was up in the middle of the night praying

847
00:54:57.540 --> 00:54:59.380
that I was talking to God about.

848
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.240
And you know what, he did give me an instruction, and it's a little bit challenging, the instruction

849
00:55:05.240 --> 00:55:13.520
that he gave me, showing me to do something very specific.

850
00:55:13.520 --> 00:55:18.060
And it's going to cost me a little bit of money, and it's going to cost me some faith,

851
00:55:18.060 --> 00:55:19.060
for sure.

852
00:55:19.060 --> 00:55:22.840
So it's a little risky.

853
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:27.080
And a lot of us have done things that God has, you know, asked us to do.

854
00:55:27.080 --> 00:55:30.880
We felt like God instructed us to do those things.

855
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:35.440
Like when he said, Peter, go out, put your net down.

856
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:36.440
And we pulled out the net.

857
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:41.240
There was still nothing there.

858
00:55:41.240 --> 00:55:42.320
We did the thing.

859
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.120
We went to the networking event.

860
00:55:44.120 --> 00:55:45.120
We applied for the job.

861
00:55:45.120 --> 00:55:46.120
We did this.

862
00:55:46.120 --> 00:55:47.120
We did that.

863
00:55:47.120 --> 00:55:48.120
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

864
00:55:48.120 --> 00:55:51.400
But I want to remind you that Peter said, I already tried that.

865
00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:55.040
And Jesus said, do it again.

866
00:55:55.040 --> 00:55:56.380
And it might look a little different now.

867
00:55:56.680 --> 00:55:57.680
Maybe that was 10 years ago.

868
00:55:57.680 --> 00:56:00.060
It might have been 15 years ago.

869
00:56:00.060 --> 00:56:03.740
Maybe you've never had the courage to even think about it and or try again because it

870
00:56:03.740 --> 00:56:04.740
failed.

871
00:56:04.740 --> 00:56:07.260
I want to let you guys know that I have a successful media business.

872
00:56:07.260 --> 00:56:11.100
I know that you guys know about last year's single, but I have a successful media business.

873
00:56:11.100 --> 00:56:17.660
And I've been in media for many years, starting with television all the way back in 2010.

874
00:56:17.660 --> 00:56:18.660
There's a lot.

875
00:56:18.660 --> 00:56:19.820
I've lived a lot of lives, y'all.

876
00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:21.560
You don't know me as well as you think you do.

877
00:56:21.560 --> 00:56:23.680
But I just want to tell you something.

878
00:56:23.680 --> 00:56:28.400
My first companies, they all failed.

879
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:29.800
I want to make sure that you know that.

880
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:32.920
My first companies all failed.

881
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:36.080
Eventually.

882
00:56:36.080 --> 00:56:40.920
Some of them did really well and then they failed.

883
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:42.840
But guess who didn't stop trying?

884
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:46.220
This girl.

885
00:56:46.220 --> 00:56:50.320
And the reason why was because every single time I just wanted to quit and say, hey, maybe

886
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:52.760
this is not for me.

887
00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:58.800
I'm the kind of person who has 10,000 good ideas before breakfast.

888
00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:01.720
My friends and family were tired of hearing about my good ideas.

889
00:57:01.720 --> 00:57:04.600
My friends and family were tired of hearing about my kooky schemes.

890
00:57:04.600 --> 00:57:08.160
They were tired of hearing about the thing that I was like, wow, wouldn't it be great

891
00:57:08.160 --> 00:57:10.480
if we did this?

892
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:12.760
But that's how God created me and that's who I am.

893
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:17.880
And I'm really thankful that I tried again and put the net down again because that's

894
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:20.520
exactly what happened to me is what I'm saying to you guys.

895
00:57:20.520 --> 00:57:24.960
I was sitting in my office and a lot of you know the story.

896
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:28.600
We're going to end with this.

897
00:57:28.600 --> 00:57:32.480
My mother had just passed away.

898
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.840
It was my dream to have a beautiful mother and daughter relationship on the earth and

899
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:42.320
I was getting so close because in her sickness she was getting a lot of healing in her heart

900
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:46.480
and she was opening up and she was finally letting me in and we were finally having a

901
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.560
relationship and then she went to heaven.

902
00:57:48.560 --> 00:57:53.400
And so now I'm just sitting in my office and I'm surrounded by all kinds of media stuff,

903
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:55.600
all kinds of media work that I was doing.

904
00:57:55.600 --> 00:58:01.520
I had been in Florida for a month in the ICU with my mom and now I'm back home in Texas.

905
00:58:01.520 --> 00:58:03.560
Quarantine's about to start but nobody knows.

906
00:58:03.560 --> 00:58:04.560
I don't know.

907
00:58:04.560 --> 00:58:05.720
You don't know.

908
00:58:05.720 --> 00:58:15.160
I'm sitting in my office and I'm just staring at everything around me and nothing matters

909
00:58:15.240 --> 00:58:22.600
because the one thing that I wanted I had tried and I had failed and that was her.

910
00:58:22.600 --> 00:58:27.040
She was my biggest dream.

911
00:58:27.040 --> 00:58:31.480
By the way, my next book is about relationships with difficult mothers.

912
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:34.640
So if that's your story, you're going to really like this book, especially if your mother

913
00:58:34.640 --> 00:58:35.640
is still alive.

914
00:58:35.640 --> 00:58:41.240
It's going to be very helpful for you.

915
00:58:41.240 --> 00:58:48.960
And I was sitting there and essentially Jesus came along and said, Hey, Jackie, put your

916
00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:51.200
net down again.

917
00:58:51.200 --> 00:58:58.000
But he said, my single sons and daughters need help.

918
00:58:58.000 --> 00:58:59.200
Will you help me help them?

919
00:58:59.200 --> 00:59:00.200
I want them married.

920
00:59:00.200 --> 00:59:01.920
Will you help me get them married?

921
00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:06.040
Will you take your gift of matchmaking and the heart work and will you put it together

922
00:59:06.160 --> 00:59:15.960
and will you help me to create a shaking that creates a tsunami wave of kingdom marriages?

923
00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:18.480
And I said, yes, and here we are.

924
00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:20.960
So friends, I just declare that yes over your hearts.

925
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:22.680
I don't care what you've tried in the past.

926
00:59:22.680 --> 00:59:26.920
I don't care what didn't work in the past and it doesn't really matter how many failures,

927
00:59:26.920 --> 00:59:29.360
how many disappointments.

928
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:31.360
All of that is part of the process to winning.

929
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.560
None of it is the antithesis of winning.

930
00:59:33.560 --> 00:59:36.000
All of it is the process of winning.

931
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.400
All of it.

932
00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:39.880
And you will win if you don't give up.

933
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:41.920
And I know that for sure.

934
00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:43.680
So Lord, I thank you for your sons and daughters.

935
00:59:43.680 --> 00:59:49.560
I thank you, Lord, for supernatural second wind that comes upon them in this call and

936
00:59:49.560 --> 00:59:54.120
that they are willing to go out even if they toiled all night and put their nets down again

937
00:59:54.120 --> 00:59:58.120
at your instruction and receive a full harvest in Jesus name.

938
00:59:58.120 --> 00:59:59.120
Amen.

939
00:59:59.120 --> 01:00:00.120
Love y'all.

940
01:00:00.120 --> 01:00:00.120
