1
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:09.080
Wow, we have a small crew here.

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.520
It probably will build as we go on, but I want to take a few minutes in case you are

3
00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:22.160
new here to tell you that Supernatural Saturday is our session when we look to the Lord.

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.160
We look to heaven.

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:25.320
We ask God, hey, what are you up to?

6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.640
What's the current prophetic reality of heaven?

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.200
As we know what our reality looks like, and sometimes we like that, sometimes we don't

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:37.720
like it, but the good news is that there is always an alternate reality.

9
00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:41.160
Remember those books for all you Gen Xers when we were kids?

10
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:44.440
Choose your own adventure.

11
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:51.080
Books, those books allowed us to decide what the ending of the story was going to be.

12
00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:57.880
So you read a few pages and then it says, hey, if you want them to go down the trail, then

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:58.880
go to page 10.

14
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.760
But if you want them to go back home, go to page 5.

15
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.920
It allowed you to write the story, it allowed you to choose the story.

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.400
And sometimes you chose the wrong page, and if you were me, and you chose the wrong page

17
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.880
and something bad happened, then you went back and then you chose the other page.

18
00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.400
I was like, yeah, you can't fool me, author of the book.

19
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.120
I will choose the happy ending every time.

20
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.920
So it's kind of like that where, yeah, there is something going on right now in your life

21
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.200
that maybe is not the best or the greatest or the funnest, but there is actually another

22
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.840
reality that's happening at the same time.

23
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.760
And that's what supernatural Saturday is all about.

24
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.520
We want to know, hey, God, what are you doing?

25
00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:49.520
What are you up to?

26
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:53.480
What can we partner and agree with you for in our lives?

27
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.920
And so I love supernatural Saturday.

28
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.800
You know, my staff all the time says, hey, Jackie, you know, you have this going on.

29
00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:00.800
You're traveling.

30
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:01.960
You're going to be in another country.

31
00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:03.720
You're going to be in another time zone.

32
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:06.960
Do you want someone to cover supernatural Saturday for you?

33
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.920
And they can attest to you that I always say, no, well, I want to do supernatural Saturday.

34
00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:20.440
I want to do it because I love to hear from the Lord.

35
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:25.560
I love to hear from him and not that I don't hear from him any other time, except when

36
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:31.380
I'm preparing for supernatural Saturday because I do, but I love hearing from him and then

37
00:02:31.380 --> 00:02:32.720
also sharing it with you.

38
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:39.120
It's one of the greatest joys of my life is to prophetically share.

39
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.520
And so here we are.

40
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:41.520
Here we are together.

41
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.520
Okay.

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.520
So we have about 116 people.

43
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.080
We shot up from 40 to 116, which is my birthday.

44
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:54.400
So I'm excited and we have such a great message today, such a great message.

45
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.760
And I'm going to jump into that in just a second.

46
00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:01.440
But I want to make a couple more announcements since I have you as a captive audience.

47
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:05.040
We received our new app from the developer in beta.

48
00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:08.880
So the first version of it's done is everyone excited about that.

49
00:03:08.880 --> 00:03:11.840
The first version of the app is finished.

50
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.480
This app has it all friends.

51
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:20.200
It has everything that we already have, which is the ability for you to see your coursework,

52
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:25.120
but it has more than just the coursework and the replays in the event calendar.

53
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.840
It has the ability for you to connect with your one on one coach.

54
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.360
It has the ability because going forward and last year single friends, we're going to

55
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.360
make a shift.

56
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:40.360
We're going to make a shift from a community that has coaching to coaching that has community

57
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.360
because there's a lot of you that are just stuck in all different types of ways and

58
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.440
we want to make sure that everybody gets unstuck.

59
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:48.880
And so we're making that shift.

60
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:53.360
So this is going to have the ability for you to go to your own dashboard, to see your

61
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.000
stuff, to see who your coaches, to see what you're doing, all of those things.

62
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.480
It is also going to have the opportunity for you to make community.

63
00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:04.480
That's right.

64
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:07.480
You can rebuild your village in this app and that includes your love life.

65
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:12.280
So community-based matchmaking is going to be a thing that's baked into this app.

66
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.600
Friendships, community events that you can go to in your local area.

67
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.079
All of that baked into this new era of LYS.

68
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.520
So I'm so excited about it.

69
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:28.920
If you thought, "Oh, well, maybe it's time for me just to move on from LYS."

70
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.800
That's exactly the wrong time for you to do that because we have all kinds of amazing

71
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.960
things coming.

72
00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:36.120
And guess what?

73
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.880
2026 was kind of a gear of rest for a lot of different reasons.

74
00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:48.720
But 2027 is going to be a year of events and gatherings because of this new app specifically.

75
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.840
But we have two singles conferences next year.

76
00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:56.600
They were both this year, but we pushed them to next year for this very purpose.

77
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.760
We have one in.

78
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:16.880
That is Jersey and Cleveland. Like, why can't I think of it? That's why, because it's Cleveland.

79
00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:20.800
So, Jersey and Cleveland will be right the beginning of the year. We're going to start

80
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.400
putting this on the new JackieDorman.com website. That also is about to launch. You'll be able to

81
00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.120
see all of the events there. You'll be able to connect. You'll be able to send other people.

82
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.560
Some of you are like, "Hey, how do we do this? We have our new men's community coming out.

83
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.240
We've kind of taken a break from Monday men because we were building something new for men

84
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.600
to really help them where they're stuck. And so, that is launching. I'm so excited about all this.

85
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.720
And you guys, in February over Valentine's Day, we have a singles cruise. We are partnering with

86
00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.440
the Catholic singles network, which is huge. And there's all kinds of different denominations that

87
00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:07.680
are wrapped up in that network of singles. Very, very big network of singles. We're going to be

88
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.840
inviting several other singles networks, singles networks. Besides last year's single,

89
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:18.080
and I'm going to be the headline speaker on this singles cruise, there's going to be speed dating

90
00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:22.960
on the cruise. There's going to be all kinds of fun things for all the singles that show up.

91
00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:27.840
And it's two Turks and Caicos. So, think about that. And then later on,

92
00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:32.480
after the spring of next year, there will be a book tour for modern dating sucks

93
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:39.600
with simultaneous retreats. So, we several retreats last year, just like next year, just like we

94
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:47.280
had last year. So, if you missed all of the retreats last year, do not fear, help is here.

95
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:52.560
We are going to have those in 2027. So, get really excited about that. All right.

96
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.040
Father, God, we look to you. We thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your love.

97
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.600
We thank you, God, that you have kept us and that you continue to keep us and protect us

98
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.320
and direct us, Lord. And we're asking this morning that you would speak to us corporately, but also

99
00:07:06.320 --> 00:07:10.560
individually. Every son and daughter that's here, Lord, I pray that their heart would be touched

100
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:18.480
by a Rama word from you, Lord, that they would know that, hey, God is talking to me. He's talking

101
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:25.600
to me. He loves me. He sees me. He knows me. He's talking to me this morning in Jesus' name.

102
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:33.360
All right. So, if I was going to give Supernatural Saturday a title, and I often do give them titles

103
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:39.920
in my notes so that if I want to go back, I can. Oh, and that's another little announcement.

104
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:45.040
For those of you that love Supernatural Saturday, I have put the best of the best of my Supernatural

105
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:51.280
Saturdays into a book that I am putting them into a book, and you will be able to have them

106
00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:56.720
as a devotional. So, every single week, you can look at a Supernatural Saturday message in a book,

107
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.480
and you can make it your devotional for the week, and it's going to be fun.

108
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.800
All right. So, if I was going to give this one a title, it would be what a difference

109
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:10.880
a year makes. This is what God keeps saying to me all last week. Hey, Jackie, what a difference

110
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:19.680
a year makes. What a difference a year makes. And you know why? You know why that happened?

111
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.360
Why I started thinking that? Because I was just minding my own business, living my life,

112
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:30.400
doing my thing. Most of my days look like the day before. How about you? Most of my days look

113
00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:36.000
like the day before and the day after. I have a strong routine. I run a business. I run a company.

114
00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:43.039
I do a lot of things very similar to the day before. I don't have a lot of variety in my life.

115
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:49.280
But there was one particular day last week where I was minding my own business. I was doing my

116
00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:58.560
own thing, and I opened up one of my many chat streams. And there was a message in my chat stream

117
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:04.000
from one of you. And this is probably a lady that a lot of you guys don't know really well,

118
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:12.160
but I got to know her really well. She came last year at this time, the beginning of September,

119
00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:18.880
she came last year at this time to my Disney retreat. Now, I had never met her in life before

120
00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:24.000
then. She was just in the program like all of you. I hadn't seen her in person. I hadn't met her

121
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:29.520
in person. She came to the Disney retreat. And you guys, she has a really rough story.

122
00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:36.000
She almost died from fourth stage cancer. All kinds of crazy things happened to her.

123
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:42.160
She had been through the ringer. Okay, really, really been through the ringer. In fact,

124
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:48.240
I was already pretty sensitive at that retreat because my mom that passed away worked for Disney

125
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.160
world for 27 years. And so anytime I go to Disney, because my mom's only been passed away for six

126
00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:59.920
years, I get kind of sensitive, sort of emotional, and my mom passed away from.

127
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.840
So, I would hear this precious beautiful woman talking about her testimony with different

128
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.200
women on the retreat, and I would kind of like sort of pull away.

129
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.480
I would sort of withdraw.

130
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.720
So if they were in line for this ride talking about, you know, just her testimony, her testimony

131
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.720
is incredible.

132
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.720
It's amazing.

133
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:22.720
I would withdraw.

134
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.880
I would kind of maybe walk away or go over here, you know, not noticeably, but just inside

135
00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:31.800
myself, why because that wasn't my mom's testimony, she wasn't healed of cancer.

136
00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:33.560
Do you understand what I'm saying?

137
00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:38.440
So just be a situation where, you know, I'm super happy for this person, but also I was

138
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:43.600
already really sensitive because I was at the place that my mom was at for 27 years.

139
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.840
And so I just kind of walk away.

140
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.800
But I say all that to say that this woman's life was not a voluntary.

141
00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:50.800
It's okay.

142
00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:52.680
It wasn't an easy life.

143
00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:55.640
She'd been through a lot of really hard things.

144
00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:58.200
And I knew that she'd wanted to be married.

145
00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:59.840
She'd always wanted to be married.

146
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.880
And she was on the wrong side of 50.

147
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:03.880
That's what people would say.

148
00:11:03.880 --> 00:11:04.880
Right?

149
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:07.600
I had someone say that to me just recently.

150
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.960
Someone in my comments on Instagram said, why would you listen to this shit?

151
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.440
She's on the wrong side of 50.

152
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.800
And I was like, I have never had anyone say that to me in my life.

153
00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:21.960
I'm on the wrong side of 50 what in the world.

154
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.960
All right.

155
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.460
So I want to say that she's on the right side of 50.

156
00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:26.460
All right.

157
00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:30.440
And I think that she actually might be on the right side of 60 if I'm not mistaken.

158
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:36.320
But anyway, she, you know, obviously had gotten really healthy after everything that

159
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.520
she had been through.

160
00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:41.880
You would have never looked at her and known that anything like that happened to her.

161
00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:48.000
Very fit, very healthy, very intentional about her food and about her fitness and all the

162
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.960
different things.

163
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.560
So I open up this message stream that I have.

164
00:11:53.560 --> 00:11:59.240
And there's a beautiful picture of her on her wedding day, a gorgeous picture.

165
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:00.240
She looks gorgeous.

166
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.240
She's a gorgeous bride.

167
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.440
In fact, you want to see it go over to my Instagram.

168
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.440
You can see it.

169
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:14.480
It's still in my stories right now, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous woman, her wedding picture.

170
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.680
One of our last year single women officiated her wedding is what I heard yesterday.

171
00:12:20.680 --> 00:12:23.400
But I want to say this, this is what I want to say.

172
00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:29.520
As soon as I saw that, I know where she was a year ago.

173
00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:37.320
You guys, it's 9/11 right now on my clock on my stove in my kitchen in Austin, Texas.

174
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.940
And that's going to be really important here in just a second.

175
00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:46.780
So hold on to that, put it in your back pocket, because God is a God that likes to put an

176
00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:48.780
exclamation point on things.

177
00:12:48.780 --> 00:12:49.780
All right.

178
00:12:49.780 --> 00:12:51.580
So it's going to be really important in just a second.

179
00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:52.580
Okay.

180
00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:55.820
So I know where she was a year ago, you guys.

181
00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:58.080
She wasn't down in the dumps and in despair.

182
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.180
She was in the happiest place on earth a year ago.

183
00:13:00.180 --> 00:13:01.580
She was with me at Disney.

184
00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:06.820
And if you've never been to a retreat, you need to come because I know how to have fun.

185
00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:08.620
All right?

186
00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:11.900
I might have met Jesus, but the party girl still lives in here.

187
00:13:11.900 --> 00:13:12.900
All right?

188
00:13:12.900 --> 00:13:18.100
Now I just have a party for Jesus, but we're still having fun.

189
00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:20.240
She was didn't have a boyfriend.

190
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.040
She didn't have a relationship.

191
00:13:22.040 --> 00:13:23.780
Nothing was going on in that area of her life.

192
00:13:23.780 --> 00:13:25.740
Did we do a lot of activations on retreat?

193
00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.740
Yes.

194
00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:28.780
Did we do some really deep identity activations?

195
00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:29.780
Yes.

196
00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:33.740
Did we do some future dream boarding kind of activations?

197
00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:35.300
Yes, we did.

198
00:13:35.300 --> 00:13:36.660
And I believe they were supernatural.

199
00:13:36.660 --> 00:13:41.340
I believe that God said, hey, this is what I want you to do on this retreat.

200
00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:44.660
And we did those things on that retreat and guess what?

201
00:13:44.660 --> 00:13:46.460
She's married.

202
00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.460
She's married.

203
00:13:47.460 --> 00:13:48.460
She's not dating.

204
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:49.460
She's not engaged.

205
00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:52.860
A year later, she is married.

206
00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:56.300
And I'm only using that example because all of you are here because you want your love

207
00:13:56.300 --> 00:13:59.940
life upgraded, but you can fill in the blank with anything.

208
00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:00.940
She got the job.

209
00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:02.460
She went on the trip.

210
00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:03.460
The body was healed.

211
00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:04.460
Whatever it was.

212
00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:07.940
What a difference a year makes.

213
00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:09.980
What a difference a year makes.

214
00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:15.900
Now that particular retreat, that butted into the next retreat that we had in the next retreat

215
00:14:15.900 --> 00:14:20.220
we had was in October of last year and that was here in Austin, Texas.

216
00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:26.260
And there was a woman who came to the party that we had the five year anniversary party

217
00:14:26.260 --> 00:14:28.740
for last year single.

218
00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:29.740
This is what God has.

219
00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:33.680
He said, God's like reminding me like, hey, take a look at this one.

220
00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:37.780
So at that party, this woman showed up, this is someone I know really well, someone who

221
00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:41.660
used to work with me, being on my team, different things.

222
00:14:41.660 --> 00:14:44.500
And this woman is married and this woman's been married for a long time.

223
00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:46.700
She didn't come to last year single single.

224
00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:50.500
She came to last year single as a friend of mine helping me with different things and

225
00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.660
working for me.

226
00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:56.100
And she showed up at that party with her husband of 20 something years.

227
00:14:56.100 --> 00:15:01.140
And I knew, because she worked for me for years, that she had a real

228
00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:11.960
this man put his hands on her many, many times. She had been separated. In fact, when she worked

229
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:18.920
for me, I tried to help her get separated and get divorced. And yet here she was showing up to

230
00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:24.400
this party. I hadn't seen her in probably a year and a half, maybe two years. She showed up to the

231
00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:29.360
party. She was with him. And I was just like, okay, well, maybe they worked it out. Maybe it got

232
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:34.120
better. I don't know because once again, I hadn't talked to her in a couple years after the party

233
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:39.960
was over. Once again, this is almost a year ago, a little less than a year ago, 11 months ago, I

234
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.520
get a phone, we'll get a text message from her. Hey, can we talk? I said, yes, I get a phone call

235
00:15:45.520 --> 00:15:49.880
from her because you guys, I'm not just the matchmaker. I'm also the matchbreaker. If necessary, I

236
00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:56.120
will be the matchbreaker. I've been the matchbreaker for many, many, many, many, many people in my

237
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:02.760
life that were in abusive, unhealthy, toxic situations and they needed help and they needed out. And she

238
00:16:02.760 --> 00:16:07.840
called me and she said, Hey, she said, I need out. And I said, nothing's ever changed. She said,

239
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.880
nothing's ever changed. In fact, it's gotten worse. And I was like, yes, you do need out. But now she

240
00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:17.160
was serious about getting out. Ladies, here's the, here's the statistics. If you didn't know this,

241
00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:23.360
women usually go back three times. Now, gentlemen, this doesn't mean that all abusers are men. Okay,

242
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:29.320
because there's women. I know men that I've helped get out of toxic relationships. So it doesn't

243
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:36.320
happen as often true, but it does happen. But she had gone back more than three times. But now all

244
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.040
of her kids were pretty much grown. Okay. And she's like, I'm not, I'm not staying here. I'm not

245
00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:48.960
doing this. So this was last October. And so immediately, immediately put it in action,

246
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:55.440
immediately, she said, Hey, I'm out. We're getting divorced. He didn't fight. He didn't press back,

247
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:03.160
been bomb bam, bippity, bopity, boo divorced. Okay. Now there was a little drama, but not much.

248
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:10.640
Okay, but here's the news. Two Saturdays from now, I'm going to her wedding.

249
00:17:14.520 --> 00:17:22.720
I'm going to her wedding. She ended up falling in love with and is now marrying someone that has

250
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:29.040
been a friend of her family for a million years. It's not some random person from the internet. This

251
00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:37.560
is someone who her family has known for years and trusted for years. Her kids maybe even call a

252
00:17:37.560 --> 00:17:42.840
uncle. I'm not even sure, you know, like very, very, very trusted friend of the family who just

253
00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:53.480
happened to go through a divorce before her. And then because of her divorce, they connected. Oh,

254
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:58.320
man, so sorry, going through this. This is hard. Yeah, yeah, fell in love. The rest is history.

255
00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:05.200
As they say, David and I, we met after our divorce is right away. It's like, here we are 20 years

256
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:13.280
later. And these two will be life first too. They're perfect for each other. They're excited. You're

257
00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:18.320
like, doesn't she need time to heal? Oh, baby, she was healing in that marriage. She didn't want to

258
00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:22.440
be in that marriage for many, many, many, many years. She was just there for the kids. Anyone relate to

259
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.560
that? She had to work through that stuff. And remember, I'm the queen of the hard work. So the

260
00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:33.680
whole time she was working for me, we was doing hard work together. It's amazing how you think you

261
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.480
have a lot of bad relationships, but really use have a bad marriage. And when you get out of your

262
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:42.320
bad marriage, all your other relationships start to improve because they didn't like your spouse

263
00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:53.920
either. So relationships improving with her family, with her mother relationships, improving that have

264
00:18:53.920 --> 00:19:02.600
been really hard for years, because the toxicity around this entire marriage. So you guys, what a

265
00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:10.400
difference a year makes in one week, two examples of what a difference a year makes.

266
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:25.280
Wow. Wow. Okay. So let's think back. Where were you this time last year? Where were you this time

267
00:19:25.280 --> 00:19:33.160
last year? What were you doing this time last year? And what's happened this year? Not just the

268
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:43.320
negative things, but the positive things. What's happened this year? Some of you have moved. Some

269
00:19:43.320 --> 00:19:49.040
of you have taken different jobs. Some of you were in relationships that you weren't in last year.

270
00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:55.880
You know, when we're living through a season, it feels like nothing is changing. But then you can

271
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.000
look back 12 months later and you can be like, wow, there are things that have changed.

272
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.240
tomorrow.

273
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.240
This is important.

274
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.240
Listen up.

275
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.240
This is what we do.

276
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.240
We all do it.

277
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.320
I'm single today, so I'm going to be probably single tomorrow.

278
00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:24.040
I'm struggling financially today, so I'm probably still going to be struggling tomorrow

279
00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:29.160
next year, two years from now, forever.

280
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.400
My family situation hasn't changed, it hasn't changed in years, maybe it never will.

281
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.960
I haven't seen any breakthrough, so it's probably not coming.

282
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:42.600
But you guys, that's not true.

283
00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:45.960
I told my friend, and I want to tell, I want to say this because there are some of you

284
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:52.480
that have been in long, drawn out seasons of hardship, and I want you especially to listen

285
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.440
to me.

286
00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:01.360
You'd love to believe the hope of this message today, but you have already seen that this

287
00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:04.360
pervasive problem just goes on and on and on.

288
00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:07.960
We have a beautiful, wonderful, amazing woman in this community.

289
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.240
I think she's still here.

290
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.240
She's one of my OG.

291
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.800
She came in at the very beginning, but because of where she lives, she actually lives in

292
00:21:15.800 --> 00:21:16.800
Canada.

293
00:21:16.800 --> 00:21:22.440
Because of where she lives, she has not been able to get a divorce for like eight years.

294
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:27.600
She has not been with her husband for many, many years, so he was abusive, he was all

295
00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:35.000
the things, but the courts also won't force him to grant her a divorce.

296
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.120
Because he's not a person of strong moral value, he's moved on with his life.

297
00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:45.120
He has relationships, he has women, girlfriends, all the things, she is stuck because she's

298
00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:52.240
a believer in a place of abstinence, celibacy, loneliness, solitude, because she doesn't

299
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.200
want to date anyone because she can't promise them the future or marriage, which is what

300
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.120
she wants because she's not divorced.

301
00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:01.120
And guess what?

302
00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:02.640
The divorce is not on the horizon.

303
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:09.520
The last time I talked to her, how would you like being stuck in limbo for eight years?

304
00:22:09.520 --> 00:22:13.600
Because someone who already abused you and hurt you and did bad things for you, now is

305
00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:17.840
keeping you from living your life and moving on.

306
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:21.920
That's crazy, right?

307
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.520
And I'm sure that she thinks that she's always going to be that way because she had hoped

308
00:22:25.520 --> 00:22:29.600
that it would change the second year, the third year, the fourth year, the fifth year,

309
00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:30.600
and it didn't.

310
00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:37.200
And I talked to one of my friends yesterday who's been in a long, drawn out legal battle.

311
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.920
Different friend, different person.

312
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.480
And instead of things getting better, it seems like they've gotten worse and they've received

313
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:50.200
a lot of prophetic words about deliverance, about vindication, about this because it is

314
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:56.600
the thing that's happening is it's evil and it's bad.

315
00:22:56.600 --> 00:23:04.280
These are the sweetest, kindest, nicest people that you would ever meet in your life.

316
00:23:04.280 --> 00:23:05.280
It's warfare.

317
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:06.280
It's an attack.

318
00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:07.920
It's whatever you want to call it.

319
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.600
It didn't come out of nowhere, though.

320
00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:16.120
Oftentimes, you know, we do things and this is why it's hard for us to ask God for deliverance

321
00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:18.840
because we know that we played a part in our situation.

322
00:23:18.840 --> 00:23:21.520
Well, I shouldn't have taken that job.

323
00:23:21.520 --> 00:23:25.200
You know, I had a good job, but I got greedy and I took that new job because it was going

324
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:29.920
to make a little bit more money and there was, you know, my old job was stable and they loved

325
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.800
me there and I was there for such a long time and I had job security, whatever that is.

326
00:23:34.800 --> 00:23:35.800
I had that there.

327
00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:37.720
But then I took this new job and then guess what?

328
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.200
The company went under, they laid people off or whatever happened and now I don't have

329
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:46.200
a job because I shouldn't have gotten greedy.

330
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.800
I shouldn't have wanted more than what I had.

331
00:23:47.800 --> 00:23:49.480
I shouldn't have done that.

332
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:51.120
So now, you know, I made this bet.

333
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:52.760
I got a lie in it.

334
00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:54.440
No friends.

335
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.200
That's not how the finished work of the cross works.

336
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:02.200
You get to lie in the bed that Jesus made for you.

337
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.240
There is no such thing as living a life where you're going to make all the right decisions.

338
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.520
There's no, there's no such thing as living a life where there's not going to be any missteps.

339
00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:16.640
So if you're projecting hardship on yourself for tomorrow and the next day and the next

340
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.840
day and the next day and the next year because of some mistake you feel like you made, how

341
00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:22.480
I shouldn't have trusted that person.

342
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:24.520
I shouldn't have gotten a relationship with that person.

343
00:24:24.520 --> 00:24:27.520
You know, I knew what they were, but I just hoped that they would change.

344
00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:28.520
I shouldn't have done this.

345
00:24:28.520 --> 00:24:29.600
I shouldn't have married that person.

346
00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:30.600
I shouldn't.

347
00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.600
I shouldn't.

348
00:24:31.600 --> 00:24:32.600
I shouldn't.

349
00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:33.600
I shouldn't.

350
00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:34.600
I shouldn't.

351
00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:35.600
I shouldn't.

352
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:36.600
I shouldn't.

353
00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:37.600
I shouldn't.

354
00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:38.600
I shouldn't.

355
00:24:38.600 --> 00:24:39.600
I shouldn't.

356
00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:40.600
I shouldn't.

357
00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:41.600
No.

358
00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:42.600
Stop shouldn't on yourself.

359
00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:45.600
That's not going to make anything better.

360
00:24:45.600 --> 00:24:48.000
That's going to be a good decision.

361
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.520
A part of me, a counterfeit part of me made this decision, a part of me that was operating

362
00:24:51.520 --> 00:24:56.480
in scarcity, operating in fear.

363
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.040
And I want to give this decision to you because I've made a mess of things and I'm asking

364
00:25:04.800 --> 00:25:11.040
Would you do that for me? And I promise you, he will. And you know what he's not going to do?

365
00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:17.440
Oh, yeah, you should have known better. I told you so. I tried to warn you.

366
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:24.880
You guys got doesn't sound like that. And if his voice sounds like that in your head, guess what?

367
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:30.240
That's your parents. That's your grandma, your grandpa. That's your ex-husband, your ex-wife.

368
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:40.800
That's somebody else talking. That's another voice. Another voice that you hear. Okay?

369
00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:47.120
Because what God sounds like is like, oh, I'm so glad you came to me.

370
00:25:49.840 --> 00:25:55.760
So glad you came to me. I'm so glad that you see that this isn't for you because I want better for

371
00:25:55.760 --> 00:26:01.680
you. Now, why don't you, why don't you scoot over into the passenger seat and just take a little

372
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:08.000
nap while I drive for a while? Why don't you let me drive you for a while? Why don't you let me

373
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:13.680
direct your steps for a while? How about that? When you wake up, I promise we'll be somewhere better.

374
00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:21.680
Yeah. Exhale. You know, cry a little bit if you want to. Yeah, it hurts.

375
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.760
Grieve your decision a little bit if you want to. Feel a little remorse if you want to. Yeah,

376
00:26:25.760 --> 00:26:31.760
that's good. Friends, there is natural consequences to bad decisions. Go ahead and feel that for a

377
00:26:31.760 --> 00:26:41.440
little while, but also understand that God wants to take everything and work it out to your good.

378
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:46.480
That's what the scripture says. Romans 828. God works all things to the good.

379
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:55.920
Not some things, not, you know, not the things that aren't bad. All the things to the good of

380
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:01.440
those that love him and all of you love him. So we're projecting today onto tomorrow, you guys.

381
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:06.080
We all do it. And I'm sure a lot of people in the Bible did it too. You know, we always think that

382
00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:10.640
these people are not human people, but they're human people. All the people that went through

383
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.560
stuff in the Bible. So let me get back to my friend that's in the litigation situation in the in

384
00:27:14.560 --> 00:27:20.800
the court case situation. So during my devotions this week, you know, I'm back to devotions. And if

385
00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:25.760
you're not back to devotions, you need to get back to devotions. If you're not back to study hall,

386
00:27:25.760 --> 00:27:31.920
you need to get back to study hall. I'm back to intercession. I'm back to praying every morning.

387
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:37.280
I'm back to making time to read the Bible. Even though I've read the Bible 50 million times and I

388
00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:41.440
could quote a lot of the Bible to you, I'm still reading it because God's still showing me things

389
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.320
and he's going to for the rest of my life. You don't outgrow needing the word. Even if you've heard

390
00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:52.720
the verse before, it's a reminder and it gets in you because it's a living word. This is not even

391
00:27:52.720 --> 00:28:02.400
what supernatural Saturday is about, but it's a living word. And I'm going to go ahead and talk

392
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.720
about and brag on my son-in-law. Reagan, a lot of you know her as the Thursday prayer leader. She's

393
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.160
also our admin. She answers all your emails. She's my youngest daughter

394
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.760
and she's been married for a couple years now to a guy named Trevor. He's an amazing husband.

395
00:28:15.760 --> 00:28:21.360
He's an amazing guy, but he's also an amazing designer and an amazing tech guy. And he built

396
00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:27.840
an app because he's dyslexic and he can't read. Like reading exhausts him because it's so hard.

397
00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:33.520
So he built an app that reads the Bible to you in a very smooth British accent.

398
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:39.280
So it's called sword. You can download it on the app store. I wasn't going to plug it,

399
00:28:39.280 --> 00:28:43.840
but here we are because we need to be listening to the Bible. And what's so great about that is

400
00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:48.160
you can just have that on. You can just have that on while you're doing other things and it's

401
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:54.000
getting into you. That smooth British voice reading the Bible to you. Gentlemen, it is a man,

402
00:28:54.000 --> 00:29:00.080
but you can take, you can handle it. His name is Oliver. Oliver will be reading you the Bible,

403
00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:06.640
friends. I'll have Bethany put up the link for sword. It's really well done. In fact,

404
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.920
all the reviews say that it's super easy to listen to. It's a great narrator. And you guys,

405
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:16.560
we need to be getting in the word. We got to be getting in the word. Well, anyway, I was getting

406
00:29:16.560 --> 00:29:21.920
in the word. I was praying. I was getting in the word. And then I got a voice text from my friend

407
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:27.360
who's been in this battle for the last almost three years with this lawsuit and with this stuff,

408
00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:34.800
my sweet kind friend who was going through a pregnancy during this. Can you imagine going

409
00:29:34.800 --> 00:29:39.520
through such turmoil and also being pregnant and also having to move and just so much transition

410
00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:46.160
in their lives? But I'm saying all that to say that when she messaged me, voice messaged me,

411
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:51.760
I had already sent her husband a message that morning because I had heard that they were hoping

412
00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:56.320
for it to be over with. They were hoping for mediation and then it was just going to be

413
00:29:56.320 --> 00:29:59.920
over with. And once again, this is, they're being wrongfully.

414
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:13.240
to even make amends regardless of whether it was wrong or not and give

415
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:18.360
people what they wanted, but now people are getting greedy. It's like, "Oh, you're

416
00:30:18.360 --> 00:30:23.000
gonna be amicable? Okay, let us ask for more. Let us do more. Let's do other

417
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:28.020
things." So it's just not, it's not been good. So I sent him a message that morning

418
00:30:28.020 --> 00:30:32.680
of a word that I received when I was in prayer for them. But then she messaged me

419
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.240
later and she said, "Hey, can you really give me some wisdom? Can you really just

420
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:41.520
pray for me? I'm just really struggling." And so before she sent that to me, I had

421
00:30:41.520 --> 00:30:44.760
already been praying and I felt like the Lord said something very specific. So

422
00:30:44.760 --> 00:30:48.120
this is what I said to her. This is what I'm to say to you because what a

423
00:30:48.120 --> 00:30:55.640
difference a year makes. We talk about Jeremiah 29/11 and people love that verse.

424
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:02.940
"I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans not to destroy you, but to

425
00:31:02.940 --> 00:31:06.900
help you, to give you hope and to give you a future." Right? And we love that

426
00:31:06.900 --> 00:31:11.720
verse and people cherry pick that verse and they put it on the side of bags. They

427
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:16.620
embroider it on t-shirts. They print it on lunch boxes. You know, we got it

428
00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:20.300
everywhere because we love, love, love that verse. But do we love the story

429
00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:26.380
connected to that verse in Jeremiah? If you're not familiar with what that

430
00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:30.660
verse is talking about, that is God comforting His people through Jeremiah,

431
00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:38.500
the prophet, because they were in a hard place. Because of the sins of their

432
00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:41.780
ancestors and all the crazy things that the Israelites had done through the

433
00:31:41.780 --> 00:31:46.620
years, they were now being taken over by another country. They were being taken

434
00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:51.700
into exile. They were being taken from their country into, I believe, Babylon.

435
00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:57.980
They were being taken away. And the prophets of the time, specifically two

436
00:31:57.980 --> 00:32:02.700
other prophets, not Jeremiah, they were telling everyone, "Oh, don't worry about it.

437
00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:09.480
Everything's gonna be all right. It's all gonna be okay." None of this bad stuff

438
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:12.740
you think's gonna happen is gonna happen. You're not gonna be taken from

439
00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:15.140
your homes. You're not gonna be taken from your vineyards. You're not gonna be

440
00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:22.340
taken away. You know, it's all gonna be good. This is only gonna last for just a

441
00:32:22.340 --> 00:32:27.740
few weeks and it will be over. Does that sound familiar in anyone? Oh, this

442
00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:31.560
COVID thing, that's not gonna last. It's gonna be over. It's gonna be over in one

443
00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:38.420
week. As fast as it came, that's as fast as it's gonna leave. All right, amazing,

444
00:32:38.420 --> 00:32:42.900
amazing. And so they were being told things that were not true and God was

445
00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:46.580
like, "Oh, hey, hey, hey, listen." You know those prophets? They don't speak for me.

446
00:32:46.580 --> 00:32:51.260
The one that does speak for me is this guy, Jeremiah. And Jeremiah is saying, "Hey,

447
00:32:51.260 --> 00:32:56.860
just get ready for a long, a long occupation. This other country's gonna

448
00:32:56.860 --> 00:33:07.500
occupy for a long time, actually 70 years. 70 years, y'all. But then we have

449
00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:11.940
Jeremiah 29, 11, but don't worry because I know the plans that I have for you, says

450
00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:15.980
the Lord." That's when that scripture comes into play. And you guys, we see it all

451
00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:20.100
playing out in the book of Daniel, another prophet, where he realizes, "Hey,

452
00:33:20.100 --> 00:33:26.140
you know, because where was Daniel at? He was in the other country. He was a

453
00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:32.220
child that had grown up in an occupied state. And now he was just like, "Hey, wait

454
00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:36.900
a second. I thought that Jeremiah, the prophet, said 70 years. We've been here

455
00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:41.900
longer than 70 years or it's just been right about 70 years. Let me look this

456
00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:46.620
up. He looks up the scroll. He sees yes indeed. The prophecy has been fulfilled.

457
00:33:46.620 --> 00:33:51.740
The time has been fulfilled. And we should be released from here now." So that's

458
00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:55.940
when he prays, and that's when you see the war in heaven. Remember? God said, "Hey, I

459
00:33:55.940 --> 00:34:00.180
sent you your answer as soon as you prayed. I sent you deliverance. I sent

460
00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:03.780
you vindication. I sent you freedom as soon as you prayed. But the angels that

461
00:34:03.780 --> 00:34:10.900
were bringing it were stuck in the second heavens fighting a battle." Someone is

462
00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:16.659
to hear that right now. The prayers that you pray, they could be tangled up in

463
00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:22.260
the second heavens. I know that you think you're not important and why, you know,

464
00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:26.020
why would the enemy want to prevent your answer from getting to earth? Why would

465
00:34:26.020 --> 00:34:29.500
he want to prevent your angelic undergirding from bringing you the breakthrough?

466
00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:35.980
But you are important. You just don't see yourself that way because that is the

467
00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:39.780
warfare. The warfare is that you would see yourself as insignificant. The warfare

468
00:34:39.780 --> 00:34:45.460
is that you would see your future marriage as not important to God. Your children,

469
00:34:45.460 --> 00:34:49.219
your lineage, your legacy, the people that you have right now in your life, you

470
00:34:49.219 --> 00:34:53.699
know, we're just kind of non-player characters. We're NPCs in this video game

471
00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:56.980
of life. There's other people that are the main characters. They're the other

472
00:34:56.980 --> 00:35:01.860
people that are the important people. We're just nothing.

473
00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:10.600
You're the star of your own movie you are the main character

474
00:35:10.600 --> 00:35:20.440
Some of y'all our main character is a little bit too much, but then yes, you are the main character of your own movie

475
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.900
Okay

476
00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:24.900
You are important

477
00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:32.180
So don't count out warfare. That's what was happening here. So I was telling my friend because she's like, when's this gonna end?

478
00:35:32.180 --> 00:35:40.660
What a difference a year makes friends what a difference a month makes what a difference a day makes in some instances

479
00:35:40.660 --> 00:35:47.140
And I said to her I said listen, I can't tell you when this is gonna be over, but I can't tell you that it's gonna be over

480
00:35:47.140 --> 00:35:53.420
There is gonna be a day when it's gonna be over and you're gonna look back and you're gonna be like wow

481
00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:57.580
That was some big crazy fever dream and that was not fun when we were going through it

482
00:35:57.580 --> 00:36:02.900
But you guys I've been through a lot of stuff and I can tell you a hundred percent of the things that I've been through

483
00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:10.280
Sandy before you today. They don't really seem like reality compared to the future that lies before me

484
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:15.820
Yes, they were very hard in those seasons and there were plenty of seasons

485
00:36:15.820 --> 00:36:21.240
I didn't think I was going to make it through but obviously made it through all of them and so did you and here we are

486
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:27.380
Think about the Bible people Joseph, right? Joseph had some bad breaks

487
00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:32.200
He was a little cocky when he was young with his my dream and here's my coat

488
00:36:32.200 --> 00:36:35.640
All right, Joseph

489
00:36:35.640 --> 00:36:39.120
It's all good, but then his brothers were like we'll see about your dreams

490
00:36:39.120 --> 00:36:42.800
We'll see about your coat and then he wakes up in the ditch and then he wakes up in prison

491
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.860
And then he wakes up in Potiphar's house, and then he's accused of sexual harassment

492
00:36:45.860 --> 00:36:49.380
Then he wakes up in another prison. Oh, not fun. Not a fun life

493
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.400
But then one morning friends. It's important. We remember this. He woke up

494
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.140
free

495
00:36:56.140 --> 00:37:03.900
And that's just free but actually elevated and upgraded to the king's right-hand man stop it stop it come on

496
00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:08.640
These are stories. These are not your Bible stories. These are real stories

497
00:37:08.640 --> 00:37:12.200
You know

498
00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:18.700
Everyone likes where's my bell has where's the bell has that okay? Well fine. Well Ruth is a widow and

499
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:21.840
She's a Moabite. She's from a different country

500
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:27.740
She's dwelling with strangers with weird rituals and weird rules around everything and she is

501
00:37:27.740 --> 00:37:35.680
Literally walking around a field that has already been harvested looking for scraps that other people left behind

502
00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:42.120
Please picture that that's how po these people were they was po

503
00:37:42.120 --> 00:37:48.040
They didn't even get the other OR because they was that po

504
00:37:49.040 --> 00:37:56.800
Walking around someone's field looking for grain scraps that other people were too lazy to pick up when they were

505
00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:58.240
Threshing it

506
00:37:58.240 --> 00:38:00.840
What in the world?

507
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:06.200
She didn't see the larger story that she was walking into did she?

508
00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:12.000
She ended up becoming the guy that owns that field's wife. How about that?

509
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:17.360
And back then ladies, that's what's best you can hope for okay is become in some rich guy's wife

510
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.280
Just so you know, that's what women did

511
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.080
That's what women did that man

512
00:38:23.080 --> 00:38:25.680
That's what they did

513
00:38:25.680 --> 00:38:33.600
What about you know one of my favorite stories in the gospels is the story of the the catch that broke the nets

514
00:38:33.600 --> 00:38:41.680
I'm talking about when Peter is called to be the disciple of Christ and they're fishing and they've caught nothing and Jesus is

515
00:38:41.680 --> 00:38:44.400
Done teaching and he's like hey, why don't you go out and try again?

516
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:48.400
And they're like do you don't understand rabbi remember? He's not their rabbi yet

517
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:52.640
He's just a rabbi and they're like you don't understand rabbi. We've been out here all night

518
00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:59.920
You can almost feel the working class just having a little bit of attitude with this religious class like let them eat cake

519
00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:05.200
Now you don't understand friend, there's no food

520
00:39:05.200 --> 00:39:10.800
So you can almost you know, I know that we always make everything like so sanitized

521
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.840
But I feel like Peter because he's a rough man y'all he was a rough man. He was a fisherman

522
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:19.200
I mean you see Peter and just trying to do all kinds of crazy things

523
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:23.680
You see him trying to cut off people's ears. You see him, you know, he's a rough guy

524
00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:26.720
And I can see this preacher teacher

525
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:31.840
Talking about all this kingdom this and kingdom that sitting on the boat and Peter's like listening

526
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:36.000
He's cleaning his nuts and he's just like um, hey, why don't you go back out and try again?

527
00:39:36.080 --> 00:39:40.000
Uh, yeah, we've been up all night. We've been all night out, but

528
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:43.680
I'm gonna obey you anyway

529
00:39:43.680 --> 00:39:47.440
I'm gonna do what you're saying anyway, and he goes out there and bam

530
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:51.120
You guys we don't even know long how long the fish drought have been going on for

531
00:39:51.120 --> 00:39:53.680
They might have been catching little to nothing for a long time

532
00:39:53.680 --> 00:39:59.680
And then all of a sudden so many fish that the other boats that were around had to come because

533
00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:06.600
Wow, wow.

534
00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:10.520
All right, all right, let's go now

535
00:40:10.520 --> 00:40:13.960
because I told you that this was gonna mean something

536
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:18.400
and I'm gonna help, I'm gonna help us get there here.

537
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:38.920
(humming)

538
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:43.760
Hey, hold on, just bear with me.

539
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.400
I'm pulling it up.

540
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:46.560
I wasn't gonna go here,

541
00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:48.720
but when I saw that on the clock,

542
00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:51.920
I was like, oh, yeah, God, I hear you, let's go.

543
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.320
All right.

544
00:40:53.320 --> 00:41:05.240
All right, 9/11.

545
00:41:05.240 --> 00:41:08.360
So anytime I see 9-1-1 on the clock,

546
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:11.640
it reminds me of this passage of scripture from Amos.

547
00:41:11.640 --> 00:41:13.760
And this is the passage of scripture,

548
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:17.160
one of many that it has been a banner scripture

549
00:41:17.160 --> 00:41:18.560
for this community.

550
00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:23.200
When God talked to me in 2020 about launching this movement

551
00:41:23.200 --> 00:41:25.760
for singles, about doing this ministry for singles,

552
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:27.640
these are the scriptures He gave me.

553
00:41:27.640 --> 00:41:31.000
Jeremiah 16 is one of them, there's several of them,

554
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:31.920
but this is one of them.

555
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.040
So Amos 9/11 through 15.

556
00:41:35.040 --> 00:41:39.040
And it's talking about God restoring

557
00:41:39.040 --> 00:41:42.400
what has been broken down and making strong again

558
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:45.680
what has been weakened, right?

559
00:41:45.680 --> 00:41:47.840
He's saying that He will do this.

560
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:50.040
And then you get down to verse 13.

561
00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:52.920
It says, yes, indeed, and I'm reading from the message,

562
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:57.920
yes, indeed, it won't be long now, God's decree.

563
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:01.200
Things are going to happen so fast, your head will swim.

564
00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:03.560
One thing fasts on the heels of the other,

565
00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:04.960
you won't be able to keep up.

566
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.840
Everything will be happening at once

567
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.880
and everywhere you look, blessings, blessings like wine,

568
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.600
pouring off the mountains and hills,

569
00:42:12.600 --> 00:42:16.040
I'll make everything right again for my people, Israel.

570
00:42:16.040 --> 00:42:18.740
Your God says so.

571
00:42:18.740 --> 00:42:23.520
So this is what we call the suddenly scripture, y'all.

572
00:42:23.520 --> 00:42:25.000
And so if you heard about the suddenly scripture,

573
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.560
you've heard me talk about it before,

574
00:42:26.560 --> 00:42:30.120
this is the passage of scripture that we're talking about.

575
00:42:30.120 --> 00:42:31.120
What's it talking about?

576
00:42:31.120 --> 00:42:34.100
It's talking about what a difference a year makes.

577
00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:39.840
What a difference a week makes,

578
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:44.000
what a difference a month makes, what a difference.

579
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:49.840
You guys, as if I didn't need any more confirmations

580
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.400
than I already have for the supernatural Saturday,

581
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:54.980
I got yet a third confirmation.

582
00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:59.220
Third confirmations are powerful, friends.

583
00:42:59.220 --> 00:43:04.220
It means God's like pay attention, pay attention.

584
00:43:04.220 --> 00:43:08.760
'Cause you guys, we're talking about timing.

585
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:10.480
We're talking about timing here.

586
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.840
It's very important that we understand

587
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:15.120
that there's a timing in things

588
00:43:15.120 --> 00:43:16.280
that I know that you probably want it

589
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:17.600
to get married decades ago

590
00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:19.440
and maybe you're still mourning the fact

591
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:21.560
that you can no longer have biological children

592
00:43:21.560 --> 00:43:24.440
because it never happened for you and all the things.

593
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.680
And I understand that you want your story to be different,

594
00:43:27.680 --> 00:43:30.480
but it doesn't mean your stories can't still be great.

595
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.160
There's things that happen in life,

596
00:43:35.160 --> 00:43:37.400
things that we're not calculating for.

597
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.560
There's things that happen in our family.

598
00:43:39.560 --> 00:43:42.280
I have a VIP client right now that I have no doubt

599
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:43.920
that the only reason she's single

600
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.320
is because her attachment style has been destroyed

601
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.860
by a dysfunctional family.

602
00:43:48.860 --> 00:43:51.840
It's hard to open your heart.

603
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.320
It's hard to meet people and it's hard to get married

604
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.680
even if you're beautiful, even if you're successful,

605
00:43:56.680 --> 00:43:58.240
even if you have it all together,

606
00:43:58.240 --> 00:44:00.560
if your heart doesn't know how to attach to other people

607
00:44:00.560 --> 00:44:02.040
because it's never been safe.

608
00:44:02.040 --> 00:44:06.200
But that's why you're here.

609
00:44:06.200 --> 00:44:07.080
You're here to get healing

610
00:44:07.080 --> 00:44:08.800
so that it doesn't have to be delayed anymore.

611
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.840
It doesn't have to be detoured anymore.

612
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:16.080
That's why heart work is such an important part of this,

613
00:44:16.080 --> 00:44:19.080
whole thing, because some of you,

614
00:44:19.080 --> 00:44:20.640
you've never been stuck on the outside.

615
00:44:20.640 --> 00:44:22.640
You've only ever been stuck on the inside

616
00:44:22.640 --> 00:44:23.840
and you don't realize it.

617
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:27.800
And I have a client like that

618
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:29.760
actually wrote about her in my second book

619
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.320
married in 12 months or less.

620
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.200
I changed all the names so you'll never figure out who she is.

621
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.240
But with her permission, I wrote her story

622
00:44:37.240 --> 00:44:40.000
because I saw a huge shift in her

623
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.680
when she came into this program.

624
00:44:41.680 --> 00:44:44.280
Saw a huge shift in her

625
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:45.720
because she came into this program

626
00:44:45.720 --> 00:44:50.400
as a twice divorced woman who had lost a toddler child

627
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.680
prematurely to heaven.

628
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:57.600
She had gone through a nightmare

629
00:44:57.600 --> 00:44:59.120
that no mother wants to go through.

630
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.360
and that child lost its life there because of neglect.

631
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:13.600
Two-year-old daughter.

632
00:45:13.600 --> 00:45:15.120
Now, for those of you that have toddlers

633
00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:16.120
and you're already afraid of this

634
00:45:16.120 --> 00:45:19.120
and not trying to put fear in your heart,

635
00:45:19.120 --> 00:45:22.040
I'm trying to tell you that trauma doesn't just hurt us,

636
00:45:22.040 --> 00:45:23.920
it creates different versions of us.

637
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:27.680
And the different version of her that that created

638
00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:28.760
was not a good one.

639
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:33.320
"Very closed off, very suspicious, very afraid,

640
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:40.200
"grieving morning, hurting, hopeless, helpless,

641
00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:44.000
"all of the things, friends."

642
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.960
And like some of you, there's some of you

643
00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:49.200
that are just gotten engaged in this community

644
00:45:49.200 --> 00:45:51.200
and you're getting married and not going to name

645
00:45:51.200 --> 00:45:52.200
who those people are.

646
00:45:52.200 --> 00:45:54.240
But your healing trajectory was longer than yours.

647
00:45:54.240 --> 00:45:55.840
And I'm not going to do that.

648
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:58.640
Those people are, but your healing trajectory was longer

649
00:45:58.640 --> 00:46:00.720
than others because it needed to be

650
00:46:00.720 --> 00:46:02.840
because you've been through a lot of stuff.

651
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:08.800
Doesn't do God any good to bring you up to the promises

652
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:11.120
that you want and you've been praying for

653
00:46:11.120 --> 00:46:12.560
and you've been asking for,

654
00:46:12.560 --> 00:46:15.120
knowing that you're going to self-sabotage

655
00:46:15.120 --> 00:46:16.840
and not make it all the way in.

656
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:22.200
I've self-sabotaged many of things, friends,

657
00:46:22.200 --> 00:46:24.680
that I didn't think I was worthy of,

658
00:46:24.680 --> 00:46:25.880
didn't think I was good enough for,

659
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:27.520
talked myself out of.

660
00:46:27.520 --> 00:46:29.280
I've literally been at an airport,

661
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:33.280
headed to a huge, amazing opportunity

662
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:37.160
and I've just decided that I couldn't do it

663
00:46:37.160 --> 00:46:38.960
and there was other things that I had to do

664
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:41.360
and maybe this isn't as important anyway

665
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:43.160
and I probably need to go home

666
00:46:43.160 --> 00:46:44.920
because this is happening and that's happening

667
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.880
and literally left the airport and did not go

668
00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:50.040
and did not do it

669
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:54.800
and sent my apologies and blamed it on the weather

670
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:56.920
but that wasn't what was truly happening.

671
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:59.440
What was truly happening is that I was afraid.

672
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:09.320
And so some of you have had a longer trajectory

673
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:10.320
and that's okay.

674
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:15.840
You know, I posted Debbie's picture on my story

675
00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:16.680
and go see her.

676
00:47:16.680 --> 00:47:18.000
She's the one from the retreat last year

677
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:19.520
that's getting married a year later

678
00:47:19.520 --> 00:47:21.960
when she didn't even have a boyfriend a year ago.

679
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:23.720
Well, she's not getting married.

680
00:47:23.720 --> 00:47:24.560
She got married.

681
00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:25.400
She got married.

682
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.840
You guys, she got married on 9/11.

683
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:29.080
Stop it.

684
00:47:29.080 --> 00:47:30.840
I just realized that.

685
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:32.240
Come on, God, let's go.

686
00:47:32.240 --> 00:47:35.840
Let's go.

687
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:38.760
Can something good come out of that day?

688
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:39.920
A thousand percent.

689
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:42.920
Remember, that's our scripture reference for today.

690
00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:45.960
Okay, so when I posted that,

691
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:48.080
I also posted what she said.

692
00:47:48.080 --> 00:47:50.880
Like I posted the little text that she sent me

693
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.360
that said, "Last year single really works."

694
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:56.120
And of course, someone dropped in my DMs and said,

695
00:47:56.120 --> 00:47:57.520
"For some people."

696
00:47:57.520 --> 00:48:03.400
But then I thought about a couple of ladies

697
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:06.560
that are right now in here with us.

698
00:48:06.560 --> 00:48:08.280
Last year single, I don't know if they're here today

699
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:10.200
but they're in this community

700
00:48:10.200 --> 00:48:12.560
and they've been here for at least three years

701
00:48:12.560 --> 00:48:18.480
and they're on the right side of 50, maybe even 60.

702
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:21.520
They definitely had lots and lots and lots of boxes

703
00:48:21.520 --> 00:48:24.480
to unpack, they've been through a lot of things.

704
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:29.480
And I do know that at one time or another time or 20 times

705
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:32.040
they thought that this wasn't gonna happen for them

706
00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:33.680
but they also knew that they were getting a lot

707
00:48:33.680 --> 00:48:35.360
of healing here so they stuck in

708
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.200
and guess what, they're both getting married now.

709
00:48:38.200 --> 00:48:39.360
Two great guys.

710
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:44.160
In fact, when I read that in my DMs on Instagram,

711
00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:46.680
I thought about my hardest nuts to crack.

712
00:48:46.680 --> 00:48:48.360
I thought about the toughest cookies,

713
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:50.720
both men and women that have come through this program

714
00:48:50.720 --> 00:48:53.360
that I probably, if I was being honest

715
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:55.280
and not just in a place of hope,

716
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:56.280
would have agreed with them

717
00:48:56.280 --> 00:48:57.800
that it probably couldn't happen for them

718
00:48:57.800 --> 00:48:59.200
(laughs)

719
00:48:59.200 --> 00:49:00.640
because of their attitude,

720
00:49:00.640 --> 00:49:03.400
because of just different things.

721
00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:05.240
But I have a supernatural hope friend.

722
00:49:05.240 --> 00:49:06.520
You can't tell me it can't happen

723
00:49:06.520 --> 00:49:08.080
because I've seen it happen too many times

724
00:49:08.080 --> 00:49:09.560
so I just know better.

725
00:49:09.560 --> 00:49:12.400
But if I was just going on my carnal reasoning,

726
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.280
my human mind, I might've been like,

727
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.680
"Yeah, maybe not for you."

728
00:49:16.680 --> 00:49:20.080
But they have the most beautiful love stories,

729
00:49:20.080 --> 00:49:23.680
those hard nuts, and all of them are married now.

730
00:49:23.680 --> 00:49:27.480
So, I just wanna say (laughs)

731
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:28.920
what a difference that a day,

732
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.920
a week, a month, a year can make.

733
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:34.960
But anyway, this one student of mine

734
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.120
that I wrote about in my second book,

735
00:49:37.120 --> 00:49:39.600
she'd been through so, so much

736
00:49:39.600 --> 00:49:41.600
and I know that she's gone through so much healing

737
00:49:41.600 --> 00:49:43.440
but you know what, I know it's her time now

738
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.920
and I know it's her time because I showed up in her dream.

739
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:49.840
Friends, it's not weird if I show up in your dreams

740
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.120
because I've showed up in many a dream.

741
00:49:52.120 --> 00:49:53.240
And I just wanna let you know,

742
00:49:53.240 --> 00:49:56.600
I don't know that I'm doing that, okay?

743
00:49:56.600 --> 00:49:59.960
I'm a typology in your dream, it's not really me.

744
00:50:03.120 --> 00:50:05.960
People are like, Jackie, you came in my dream last night.

745
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:10.520
I'm like, yes, but also no.

746
00:50:10.520 --> 00:50:13.000
I represent something.

747
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:16.460
You know, God likes to use things that make sense to you

748
00:50:16.460 --> 00:50:18.600
in your dreams, right?

749
00:50:18.600 --> 00:50:21.360
He likes to use things that mean something to you.

750
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.160
And so if I ever show up in your dream,

751
00:50:23.160 --> 00:50:25.200
the first thing that I want you to ask yourself is,

752
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:27.200
hey, what does Jackie represent to me?

753
00:50:27.200 --> 00:50:29.560
What does she mean to me?

754
00:50:29.560 --> 00:50:32.020
Is she, you know, is she a preacher?

755
00:50:32.020 --> 00:50:33.240
Is she a prophet?

756
00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:35.080
Is she, what does she most to me?

757
00:50:35.080 --> 00:50:37.040
Is she a matchmaker?

758
00:50:37.040 --> 00:50:38.720
What is she?

759
00:50:38.720 --> 00:50:42.000
Because that's gonna be your first thing to go to

760
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.440
when you're gonna interpret your dream, okay?

761
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.560
Whoever shows up in your dream.

762
00:50:46.560 --> 00:50:48.340
President Obama shows up in your dream.

763
00:50:48.340 --> 00:50:50.200
What does that mean to me?

764
00:50:50.200 --> 00:50:52.120
You know?

765
00:50:52.120 --> 00:50:54.600
And I guess I better say Trump too,

766
00:50:54.600 --> 00:50:56.040
because people would be like, Jackie,

767
00:50:56.040 --> 00:50:56.960
are you a Democrat?

768
00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:58.760
No, just Obama popped in my head.

769
00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:00.280
And I'm not a Republican either.

770
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:01.120
I'm a me.

771
00:51:01.120 --> 00:51:02.520
I'm a whoever I wanna be.

772
00:51:02.520 --> 00:51:04.880
That's who I am, all right?

773
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:06.840
But, you know, someone shows up in your dream

774
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:08.360
that you don't know in real life.

775
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:09.960
It's Oprah, it's Michael Jackson.

776
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:12.800
I don't care who it is, all right?

777
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:16.520
You gotta ask yourself, is Vanna White

778
00:51:16.520 --> 00:51:18.440
from the Wheel of Fortune, you gotta ask yourself,

779
00:51:18.440 --> 00:51:21.640
what does this person represent to me?

780
00:51:21.640 --> 00:51:25.040
So anyway, in the dream,

781
00:51:25.040 --> 00:51:26.840
and I got this, you guys, right after these,

782
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:29.440
right after these great announcements,

783
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:32.200
right after I found out that Deb had gotten married,

784
00:51:32.200 --> 00:51:35.560
all the things, I get this message from this beautiful

785
00:51:35.560 --> 00:51:38.560
student that I haven't heard from in probably two years.

786
00:51:38.560 --> 00:51:42.400
And she says, you were in my dream last night,

787
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:44.640
and in the dream, you were basically telling me

788
00:51:44.640 --> 00:51:45.920
that it's my time.

789
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:47.560
She said, you were like on, she said,

790
00:51:47.560 --> 00:51:50.360
either alive or the TV, like I was on a screen

791
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.040
of some sort, and I was pointing to her

792
00:51:52.040 --> 00:51:56.640
and telling her that it was her time in this dream.

793
00:51:56.640 --> 00:51:58.640
And then she said, I said this.

794
00:51:58.640 --> 00:52:00.440
You guys, this doesn't mean anything to her,

795
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.560
but it means something to me.

796
00:52:02.560 --> 00:52:07.560
She said, then I said, the CO is finally breaking off of this.

797
00:52:07.560 --> 00:52:12.080
She said, that's what I said to her in the dream.

798
00:52:12.080 --> 00:52:16.520
Now, you all don't know this, but I know this.

799
00:52:16.520 --> 00:52:17.960
You might, that might mean something to you,

800
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:19.960
but I'll tell you what that meant to me.

801
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:24.760
Back when God told me that he wanted me to do,

802
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:27.840
not 2020, all the way back to 2009.

803
00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:28.880
You guys, I've been helping people

804
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:33.120
in their relationships all the way back to 2009,

805
00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:35.120
like formally, but I've been helping people

806
00:52:35.120 --> 00:52:36.840
in their relationships all my life.

807
00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:38.120
I've always been the matchmaker.

808
00:52:38.120 --> 00:52:39.960
I've always been the coach.

809
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:43.600
All right, but in 2009, I was going into ministry.

810
00:52:43.600 --> 00:52:45.440
I was going into full-time ministry.

811
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:47.880
And you guys, I was beating my head up against the wall.

812
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:49.560
I was trying to get my foot in the door

813
00:52:49.560 --> 00:52:50.800
in several different places.

814
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:52.960
I had a message from the Lord about things

815
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:54.840
and I knew people needed to hear.

816
00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:56.840
And no one would let me talk.

817
00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:58.840
No one would let me in.

818
00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:00.120
All the churches that I went to

819
00:53:00.120 --> 00:53:01.760
didn't have female preachers.

820
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:03.640
Back then, I thought I was just going to preach about this.

821
00:53:03.640 --> 00:53:05.280
I didn't know I was going to teach and coach

822
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:06.120
and do the things.

823
00:53:06.120 --> 00:53:07.440
God always has a bigger plan for you

824
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:09.440
than you have for yourself.

825
00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:11.600
But I'll never forget, there was this one prophet

826
00:53:11.600 --> 00:53:12.680
who called me on the phone.

827
00:53:12.680 --> 00:53:15.320
I was in this little office area of a rental house

828
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:17.760
that I had in Ohio in 2009.

829
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:19.440
God had given me some big promises.

830
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:20.640
He'd give me some big words.

831
00:53:20.640 --> 00:53:22.600
He basically forecasted everything that's happening

832
00:53:22.600 --> 00:53:24.240
right now, y'all, but better.

833
00:53:24.240 --> 00:53:27.360
Okay.

834
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:31.160
I mean, everything, the better this that's happening now.

835
00:53:31.160 --> 00:53:34.680
And I had no idea how to get there

836
00:53:34.680 --> 00:53:37.520
and I was just sitting in the office area

837
00:53:37.520 --> 00:53:40.760
and this prophet called me on the phone

838
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:41.880
and I was like, can I pray over you?

839
00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:43.120
And I was like, yeah, absolutely.

840
00:53:43.120 --> 00:53:44.560
So he's praying, he's praying, he's praying.

841
00:53:44.560 --> 00:53:45.880
And then he says, and you guys,

842
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:47.760
and I have a calendar in front of me.

843
00:53:49.680 --> 00:53:53.600
I was sitting in front of my desktop paper calendar

844
00:53:53.600 --> 00:53:57.680
and I was trying to figure out, you know,

845
00:53:57.680 --> 00:53:59.240
my schedule, the structure,

846
00:53:59.240 --> 00:54:03.880
how to make this thing that God had shown me happen.

847
00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:05.680
What I did, he'd do on Monday to make it happen.

848
00:54:05.680 --> 00:54:07.800
Okay, Tuesday, Wednesday, like I'm a person,

849
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:09.600
like you tell me you wanna do something, all right,

850
00:54:09.600 --> 00:54:10.680
I'm gonna go after it.

851
00:54:10.680 --> 00:54:14.440
I'm gonna act now, think later, that's me.

852
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:16.480
I'm gonna act now and think later.

853
00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.160
And so I was doing that when this prophet called

854
00:54:21.160 --> 00:54:21.960
and this is what he said.

855
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:23.680
He said, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda,

856
00:54:23.680 --> 00:54:26.680
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

857
00:54:26.680 --> 00:54:29.440
And then he said, when the seal breaks off of this,

858
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:31.120
nothing will be able to stop it.

859
00:54:31.120 --> 00:54:36.760
I wrote that down in my journal.

860
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.240
I don't remember anything else he said.

861
00:54:38.240 --> 00:54:41.760
That's why I said yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah.

862
00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:43.520
When the seal breaks off of this,

863
00:54:43.520 --> 00:54:46.120
nothing will be able to stop it.

864
00:54:46.120 --> 00:54:49.920
And so I knew that I needed to continue to prepare

865
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:52.200
for what God wanted to do because it wasn't yet time,

866
00:54:52.200 --> 00:54:55.200
but there would be a day when the seal would break off of it.

867
00:54:55.200 --> 00:54:57.880
And then when that happened, nothing would be able to stop it.

868
00:54:57.880 --> 00:54:59.880
And friends, I gotta admit to you,

869
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:10.000
I didn't know the seal was still on.

870
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:15.040
And what I want to say right now is if God can do what he's already done in this movement

871
00:55:15.040 --> 00:55:21.280
with the seal on, what's going to happen now?

872
00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:27.160
Because God did promise his tsunami wave of kingdom couples, a tsunami wave of kingdom

873
00:55:27.160 --> 00:55:30.600
partnerships of kingdom alliances of marriages.

874
00:55:30.600 --> 00:55:31.800
He did promise that.

875
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:37.920
And I kind of felt like this felt maybe like a wave from the wave pool, honestly.

876
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:38.920
I'm a think bigger.

877
00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:44.080
And then if you think you are thinking bigger, think even bigger, kind of girl.

878
00:55:44.080 --> 00:55:46.400
And God knows that about me because he made me that way.

879
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:50.360
And I will tell you all throughout my life, people have always thought that I'm ridiculous

880
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:53.600
and insane.

881
00:55:53.600 --> 00:55:59.880
Even before I knew Jesus, big dreamer, big thinker, big believer, because if we only

882
00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:06.080
have one life, we've got to make it, we've got to make it good.

883
00:56:06.080 --> 00:56:09.720
We've got to make it good.

884
00:56:09.720 --> 00:56:13.120
And I've always been a firm believer that if it can happen for them, I don't care who

885
00:56:13.120 --> 00:56:16.240
they are, then it can happen for me.

886
00:56:16.240 --> 00:56:22.440
I remember when I was an early believer, the pastor's wife, she was very spiritually gifted.

887
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:26.000
She was always like God was always giving her a scripture in the word, and she was always

888
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:27.760
bringing it to women's prayer.

889
00:56:27.760 --> 00:56:29.960
And that was not something that was happening for me.

890
00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:31.880
And so when she was talking about it, I didn't feel jealous.

891
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:33.240
I didn't even feel covetous.

892
00:56:33.240 --> 00:56:35.920
I felt like, hey God, that's so cool.

893
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:37.520
I want that too.

894
00:56:37.520 --> 00:56:41.400
If it can happen for her, then surely it can happen for me.

895
00:56:41.400 --> 00:56:42.400
And guess what?

896
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:46.920
It started happening for me.

897
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:52.280
And so friends, when you see all these people, our precious girl is getting engaged, she's

898
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:53.280
getting married.

899
00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:55.440
She's one of those nuts, right?

900
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:58.120
She's been around for a minute.

901
00:56:58.120 --> 00:57:03.080
She has some inner healing to do because she's been through a lot of stuff, but she's getting

902
00:57:03.080 --> 00:57:04.080
married.

903
00:57:04.080 --> 00:57:07.320
I got her wedding invitation in my DMs the other day.

904
00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.880
And so all of you should be like, if it can happen for a gala, it can certainly happen

905
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:13.080
for me.

906
00:57:13.080 --> 00:57:20.840
Seriously, she had to do that too, because she had to watch lots and lots of people

907
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:23.120
have success.

908
00:57:23.120 --> 00:57:27.800
Her and Vicki were like compadres.

909
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:29.200
They both came in at the same time.

910
00:57:29.200 --> 00:57:34.400
They were both on the right side of 50, both of them wondering, hey, is this ever going

911
00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:38.840
to happen for us watching person after person after person after person, both of them having

912
00:57:38.840 --> 00:57:42.240
come from a lot of stuff that they need to work through and heal from.

913
00:57:42.240 --> 00:57:47.720
And both of them getting married now, stop it.

914
00:57:47.720 --> 00:57:54.160
So all I want to say to me is, is that the seal hasn't broken off and it's breaking off

915
00:57:54.160 --> 00:57:59.440
now because when that precious student sent me that dream, she thought it was all about

916
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:03.080
her.

917
00:58:03.080 --> 00:58:06.640
But I want you to remember what her dream's about.

918
00:58:06.640 --> 00:58:10.360
She's one of the people that's been through so much in life, including the death of a

919
00:58:10.360 --> 00:58:11.360
child.

920
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:16.640
Divorce the death of a child because of, you know, another parents neglect all the different

921
00:58:16.640 --> 00:58:22.420
things, the court systems, all kinds of crazy stuff, y'all.

922
00:58:22.420 --> 00:58:26.520
And all she ever wanted at the very beginning of her life was just to be married to a good

923
00:58:26.520 --> 00:58:30.400
partner and have a family.

924
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:31.400
And that's all of you.

925
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:32.400
And that's why you're here.

926
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:34.800
And God sent you here, no doubt about it.

927
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:38.560
And God sent me to be the prophet of this single nation.

928
00:58:38.560 --> 00:58:42.680
And I am going to not speak with the bad prophet spoke in Jeremiah.

929
00:58:42.680 --> 00:58:44.000
I never said it would be easy.

930
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:49.060
I only said it would be worth it.

931
00:58:49.060 --> 00:58:59.000
I only said that God knows the plans that He has for you.

932
00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:00.000
And it's happening.

933
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:01.000
And this is what I want to say.

934
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.000
So she sent that dream.

935
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:04.880
We're going to end here.

936
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:06.280
Pay attention.

937
00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:07.280
That dream was about what?

938
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:08.480
It was about her.

939
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:10.280
But think of her as an avatar.

940
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.960
Think of her as an avatar of someone who's been through a lot in this life.

941
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:18.640
A lot of family stuff, a lot of drama, divorce, death, all the different things that she's

942
00:59:18.640 --> 00:59:20.880
been through.

943
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:21.880
Single motherhood.

944
00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:22.880
All the stuff.

945
00:59:22.880 --> 00:59:24.320
And some of you never been married.

946
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:28.520
Don't have that testimony, but you've been through a lot.

947
00:59:28.520 --> 00:59:30.720
You've wanted this and it just hasn't happened.

948
00:59:30.720 --> 00:59:36.760
Think about her as the avatar of someone who believes God, trusts God, wants family,

949
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:41.320
wants partnership, and then think of me as the prophet.

950
00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:46.280
Think of me as the person that's saying, hey, the matchmaker, whatever it is, the typology

951
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:50.640
of whatever it was that I was in her dream, the prophet, the matchmaker, throwing up and

952
00:59:50.640 --> 00:59:53.480
saying, it's your time.

953
00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:57.960
And then talking about a seal breaking off.

954
00:59:57.960 --> 00:59:58.960
Do you see that?

955
00:59:58.960 --> 00:59:59.960
That's her?

956
01:00:10.160 --> 01:00:12.840
the person God gave that word to.

957
01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:21.080
So it's a fruition of all kinds of promises God has spoken coming true in one dream confirmation.

958
01:00:21.080 --> 01:00:24.420
Come on.

959
01:00:24.420 --> 01:00:28.860
Now I want you to think about where you were a year from now, a year ago today.

960
01:00:28.860 --> 01:00:32.440
So a year ago, where were you?

961
01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:38.380
And then I want you to think about where you want to be a year from now.

962
01:00:38.380 --> 01:00:39.380
That's your homework.

963
01:00:39.380 --> 01:00:40.380
Write that down and share it in the group.

964
01:00:40.380 --> 01:00:42.200
You guys never share.

965
01:00:42.200 --> 01:00:45.740

Where were you a year ago and where do you want to be a year from now because what a difference

967

Father God, we thank you for this word.
