Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:02):
If you were a diamond, what cut would you want
to be?
What if I told you that there'smore to it?
That there are benefits andresources from heaven that are
available to help you in thislife, and you've never heard
about them.
Are you curious?
Well, join Gordon Merrill as hedigs deeper into making heaven

(00:22):
real in this life.

SPEAKER_01 (00:33):
Welcome back to Making Heaven Real as we present
messages from Jeanette.
This time Jeanette says shewants to talk about diamonds.
Not in the diamonds are a girl'sbest friend kind of way.
Not like that at all.
But more about the brilliance,the depth of them, and their

(00:54):
hardness.
This may be a time for me totell you to be careful what you
wish for.
Some of the more sought-aftercuts of diamonds have more
facets, more sparkle, and adeeper dimension, all of which
requires more cuts.
Jeanette goes on to say, so whatwe're talking about is a moment

(01:16):
in time, the brilliance.
It doesn't come out of nowhere.
It's shaped by pressure, justlike diamonds by depth, and
everything that has once hiddenbeneath the surface.
When a spark from heaven speaks,it often arrives the same way,
like a shimmer breaking throughthe weight of what we have

(01:39):
carried, revealing beautifulclarity we didn't even know we
were ready for.
Every message is like a facet.
Insight is a spark.
And when you turn towards light,even the hardest moments begin
to shine.
So again, pressure makesclarity.

(02:00):
Sometimes it's comfortable,sometimes it's not.
Sometimes it's not easy.
It's actually true pressure.
The Earth's impact forcing thecoal into the diamond.
The diamond can't be broken.
Oh well, maybe it can, but withextreme pressure.

(02:24):
And then it becomes dust.
But even then it will shimmereven more.
And those facets, that's theshine you're becoming.
Because spirit doesn't wasteyour hard moments.
Jeanette's message sort of hitshome for all of us who have
suffered a major devastatingloss on the human level.

(02:48):
She reminded us last week,spiritually, we're never alone.
But that human suit stillstruggles to cope and handle the
pressure of the loss and thoseevents that cut deep.
What stood out to me most washer statement that spirit
doesn't waste our hard moments.

(03:09):
The pressure we experience maynot be comfortable, and it may
not be make sense while we'regoing through it.
But from heaven's perspective,those experiences are helping to
create clarity, strength, andbeauty within us that we may not
yet be able to see.

(03:30):
So in short, don't judge yourlife by the pressure you're
feeling today.
The very things that seem to beshaping you the hardest may be
creating the brilliance thatwill one day shine the
brightest.
Jeanette says that her finalthought a moment ago was spirit

(03:52):
doesn't waste your hard moments.
It repurposes them.
Every delay sharpens you.
Every time you're disappointed,it redirects you.
Every heavy thing you carry gaveyou the strength to hold on, to
keep going, and to find outwhat's coming next.
You and the people listening arestepping into a phase where the

(04:17):
shimmer shows up first and thefull brilliance will come later.
She goes on to say, ifsomething, anything in your life
is catching that light rightnow, pay deep attention.
Pay attention to all the signs,the signals, the symbols, the
numbers, the colors, the glimpseof light in a person's eye.

(04:42):
That energy or spark is what'snudging you forward.
That's heaven signalingalignment.
What's happening before you isyour next chapter cracking open.
You are not lost, late, or evenbehind.
You're polishing just like adiamond.

(05:04):
And the crazy thing is whenyou're standing in, ready,
anticipating, worried, confused,it's already shining.
You just haven't turned towardsthe light yet to be able to see
its full brilliance.
But that moment, the beauty,light, anticipation, it comes,

(05:27):
and you feel the spirit aligningyou to the truth, which was
already yours.
That truth?
That you're loved, deeply loved.
We're not going to let you missthis.
She goes on to say the moments,enchantment and peace, light,

(05:48):
love, honor, hope, and dreams.
They're all yours on thephysical realm, so that you can
tuck it away into your soul andkeep it tight and travel
eventually to a new energy thatis full of wonder and grace.
Hold on tight.

(06:09):
We are witnessing the splendorof this light with you, and we
anticipate your growth dailywith excitement, applauding
every step and every moment.
Remember when I asked if youwere a diamond, what cut you
would be, and then I said, Becareful what you wish for.

(06:31):
What stands out to me most inJeanette's message is that she
isn't really talking about thediamonds at all.
Every bit of her statement wastalking about us.
She's talking about the waylife's hardships, losses,
disappointments, and challengesshape who we become.

(06:52):
Just as the diamonds brillianceis revealed through pressure and
the creation of many facets, ourown character, wisdom, and
spiritual depth are oftenrevealed through the difficult
moments we endure.
Remember, Jeanette reminds usthat spirit doesn't waste our
hard moments.

(07:13):
What feels like breaking mayactually be shaping.
What feels like delay may bepreparation.
But the real truth we'vediscussed before is the most
reassuring.
Heaven has never lost control.
What happens in our life is bydesign.

(07:37):
Our spirit team, along with us,has mapped out this mission to
Earth as our life's plan.
All in a conscious effort to usethe cuts, the pressure, and the
hard times to learn, grow, andmature.
That same plan is what isreshaping our spirit and molding

(07:58):
our diamond into themultifaceted thing of beauty,
precision, brilliance, andclarity we anticipated in our
design.
Like a diamond, our brillianceis often being formed long
before we can see it.

(08:18):
So as you enter this next week,keep this mantra close.
I'm being shaped, not broken.
Every challenge reveals a newfacet, and every moment of
pressure is helping my lightshine more brightly.
I know spirit has my back andmakes the most out of my hard

(08:42):
moments.
All is not hard pressure andloss in this message.
Pay attention to the smallsparks of light around you.
Notice the moments of hope, thesigns of encouragement, the
unexpected peace, and theglimpses of joy.

(09:04):
They may be heaven's way ofreminding you that your next
chapter is already beginning toshine.
You are not lost, you're notbehind, you're being polished.
And although you may not yet seethe full brilliance that is
emerging, heaven does.

(09:26):
So keep going.
Trust the process, trust yourplan, and let your spirit catch
the light.
Remember, heaven anticipatesyour growth daily with
excitement, applauding everystep and every moment.

(09:48):
That makes heaven real in yourlife right now.
