1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
All right, welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:13.420
This is the Prosper Power Hour, which we do, of course, every Wednesday for Prosper

3
00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:18.600
Leader members, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:26.800
And this is the heaven side of the heaven and earth equation that I talk about in business

5
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.280
and in life.

6
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.520
And of course, I think it's all heaven, but we focus specifically on Wednesdays.

7
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.880
We do, God really gave me revelation on this, 15 minutes of a promise.

8
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:49.500
So that every week, 52 weeks or however many weeks we're on, we're getting a new promise

9
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:55.000
we can meditate on all week, because what I've found is a lot of women have two or three

10
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.040
go-to promises that they've heard throughout their life, but there's hundreds and hundreds

11
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:05.400
of promises and they're so powerful to stand on.

12
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:12.040
So we do a promise and then around that promise, we do a biblical principle, then we do prayer.

13
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.240
Each of these are 15 minutes approximately.

14
00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:20.920
And then we do a practice that you can do all week.

15
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.720
So welcome, welcome, welcome.

16
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:27.280
Of course, tomorrow, Thursdays is the earth side, that's office hours.

17
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.720
And that's where we get into the systems and the structure and the strategies and you bring

18
00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:40.280
those two together, and you've got a very holistic life, very holistic business, because

19
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:46.280
we tend to err on one side or the other.

20
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:54.360
So I'm going to take a sip of tea, you guys got my raspy voice this morning.

21
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:56.760
First talking of the morning.

22
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.680
So I'm super excited.

23
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:05.480
If you have any prayer requests or praise requests, pop them in the chat.

24
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:11.039
So today, I'm super excited what we're going to talk about.

25
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:17.600
It's about circumstances won't shake you.

26
00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:21.400
I want you to think about that.

27
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:26.480
Circumstances, conditions won't shake you.

28
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.600
And the visual that I heard many, many years ago, probably 15, 20 years ago, that is really

29
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:42.960
stuck with me, is that in life, there's like two arenas, two arenas, like a wrestling,

30
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:48.080
let's say a wrestling or a boxing match, you know, and you've got the arenas, right?

31
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.880
And there's two arenas.

32
00:02:50.880 --> 00:03:01.600
And one arena is the conditions, the circumstances, it's the what you see, right?

33
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:06.920
What you feel, what's happening in the tangible world.

34
00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:07.920
That's one arena.

35
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:12.200
And of course, that's where we naturally want to go.

36
00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:15.680
It's what's happening to us around us, right?

37
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.200
And that's one arena.

38
00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:20.440
The other arena is faith.

39
00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:21.700
It's what we're doing today.

40
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:25.920
It's God's word, it's promise, it's truth.

41
00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:30.080
It's what God has already spoken.

42
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.240
So here's the thing, we don't get to avoid the match.

43
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.160
We're going to be in a match.

44
00:03:37.160 --> 00:03:45.680
We're going to be in an arena, but we get to choose which ring that we're going to be

45
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.760
in.

46
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:48.920
Let that sink in.

47
00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:56.160
You see, most people don't lose or go backwards in a battle because God isn't faithful or

48
00:03:56.160 --> 00:03:59.180
the promises don't work or the word doesn't work.

49
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.420
It's because they're wrestling in the wrong arena.

50
00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:14.020
And so today, this morning is about how to be unshakable, unmovable.

51
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:19.220
How to, not because your circumstances disappear, right?

52
00:04:19.220 --> 00:04:21.019
There'll always be circumstances.

53
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:26.020
There'll always be conditions, conditions in our health and our body, conditions in

54
00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:29.300
our finances, conditions in our relationship.

55
00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:31.740
This is life.

56
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:40.460
This is always going to happen, but because you refuse to make those your authority.

57
00:04:40.460 --> 00:04:42.420
So I'm super excited about this topic.

58
00:04:42.420 --> 00:04:48.660
I know that when I first got a hold of this, my life completely changed.

59
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:53.900
It's one of the most powerful concepts, I think, in our faith walk.

60
00:04:53.900 --> 00:04:56.020
So what is our promise today?

61
00:04:56.020 --> 00:05:00.060
Our promise comes from Psalms 110.

62
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:16.160
12 verses 5 to 6. And I am reading it from the Passion Translation. Okay, so Psalms 1-12

63
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:23.840
verses 5 and 6 from the Passion Translation. So let this just soak in for a second.

64
00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:35.400
Life is good. Just think about that. Life is good for the one who's generous and considerate of

65
00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:45.880
others. He conducts his affairs with honesty and truth. Here's my favorite. His circumstances will

66
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:56.520
never shake him. Or we could put it in the feminine. Her circumstances will never shake her.

67
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:08.520
And others will always remember him or her as righteous. So I loved it when I was reading

68
00:06:08.520 --> 00:06:14.680
Psalms a couple days ago and that just jumped out at me. I got out the highlighter.

69
00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:23.880
Circumstances will never shake her. Just let that land for a second. You know, it doesn't say

70
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:31.880
that your circumstances won't come. It doesn't say that they won't be intense. It doesn't say

71
00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:42.760
that they won't challenge you. It says they won't shake you. This is so, so big. You know,

72
00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:49.480
the word shake kind of implies, you know, they won't, they won't dislodge you. They won't,

73
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:56.360
they won't pull you off of position. They, they won't destabilize you. They won't,

74
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:03.160
they won't knock you out, right? If we're talking arenas, they won't move you out of

75
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:11.560
alignment. So the promise is not, and this is where people really miss it. The promise is not

76
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:20.040
circumstantial peace. The peace is not based on circumstances. In fact, you know,

77
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.800
scripture says is peace that passes all understanding. Like you'll be like, how do I

78
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:35.000
have peace in the middle of this? And so this promise is, is about positional stability.

79
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:42.680
It's about being anchored. Or when I did the whole series on rooted to rise, it's about deeply

80
00:07:42.760 --> 00:07:53.960
rooted. It's about being deeply grounded. And, and this is so, so big. So, so the promise

81
00:07:53.960 --> 00:08:01.480
is that you can stand on this week and every week and you can memorize it and you can speak it and

82
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:08.040
you can turn it into a, an affirmation in your morning when you're doing your, your prosper

83
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:14.760
daily and you're, you're doing your affirmations to start with. I am right. These are affirmations.

84
00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:25.160
I'm, I'm rooted and grounded. I am unmovable, right? In God's word. I am unshaken in God's

85
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:36.200
promises, right? I'm held. I'm supported. I'm walking by faith. So make up new. I am statements

86
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.400
every day I've gotten in the habit. I used to write them and now I've turned it into like a

87
00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:47.000
beautiful meditation where I just close my eyes and I just start saying a bunch of, I am, there's

88
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:53.240
enough in me. I'm full in the treasury of my heart that I can just be speaking. And there's just

89
00:08:53.240 --> 00:09:02.520
something that, that elevates when you do that. So, so this idea that I'm unmovable, I'm unshakable,

90
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:10.760
right? And then you can also turn it into a declaration, which is an, I will statement.

91
00:09:10.760 --> 00:09:14.600
Usually that's what you're absolutely committed to doing that day, but you could make it.

92
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:20.840
I will not be shaken by conditions or circumstances today. You can turn it into a declaration

93
00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:26.200
as well. So I pray that you're doing, you know, as you're doing the prosper 90 day planner,

94
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.760
I pray you're doing those affirmations on those declarations. They take minutes,

95
00:09:30.760 --> 00:09:37.880
but they completely change our mindset. You know, we're transformed by the renewing of our mind.

96
00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:47.640
Right. And, you know, it goes deeper. I don't have time today, but I have been I've had people

97
00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:56.920
really close to me that have had hard circumstances this week. And for both of them, actually they,

98
00:09:56.920 --> 00:09:59.800
it was so intense because the body.

99
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.880
never lies, that it translated into physical symptoms, which it often does. For one friend,

100
00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:13.920
it started turning into tingling and numbness and hands and feet. And for a relative, it started

101
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:19.440
feeling like a heart attack because when we don't walk in this, that's what happens. The body is,

102
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:27.280
you know, taking on all of this. And there's something that God has taught me that has

103
00:10:27.280 --> 00:10:36.960
gotten so strong in me from this repeated understanding and diving in this, that I

104
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:43.760
literally could share a couple ideas with them with absolute certainty and confidence.

105
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:51.840
And one is the book of James, chapter one, where it says, count it all joy when you encounter

106
00:10:51.840 --> 00:11:00.720
diverse trials. Why? It goes on to say because of the character that God is using these trials

107
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:07.680
to strengthen you, to raise you, and to, you know, to give you these character traits of

108
00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:16.560
perseverance and resilience and confidence. And so what I know is that these earthquakes that

109
00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:24.160
kind of come into our life of circumstances, they actually increase our capacity so that God is

110
00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:29.760
preparing us for a higher level, what he's got us doing. And you don't increase capacity when it's

111
00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:36.800
all rainbows and unicorns. It's in coming through these challenges, standing on promises like this

112
00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:45.440
and not being moved, that actually you go through it. And so, you know, yesterday, and both of them,

113
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:52.400
I was saying, this is going to be really good. You have to pause. You have to look at this.

114
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:58.400
You have to say, what a gift. You have to understand Romans 8, 28. So opposite of what

115
00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:06.400
our eyes say, that everything's a mess and we want to go down the very rocky cliff of,

116
00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:10.640
you know, everything's falling apart. This is going to happen. What if this happens? What am

117
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:19.840
I going to do? And get into fear and anxiety and all of that. You pause and you stand on these

118
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:26.240
promises and are unshakable. And of course, one of the promises we've done is Romans 8, 28, that

119
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:32.080
every single thing is working out for good. So you pause and you say, this is good. And then you say,

120
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:37.120
God, what's the good here that I'm not seeing? Because I know, I know you're increasing my

121
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.320
capacity. I know you're working this together for good. It doesn't feel good right now. It hurts

122
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:50.560
right now. It's scary, but this is good. And so, the principle that I want to share, that's

123
00:12:50.560 --> 00:13:01.200
the promise, Psalms 112. The principle that I want to share is that faith and fear cannot coexist.

124
00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:09.440
Faith and fear cannot coexist. In other words, they're not sisters. They're not cousins. They're

125
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:20.800
opposites. They can't, they can't both exist at the same time. And so, fear is simply faith. Get

126
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:29.600
this. Fear is inverted faith. Fear is faith pointed in the wrong direction. Did you know that?

127
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:36.240
Did you know that? You see, we're always using faith. It's not a matter of, I need more faith.

128
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:44.000
It's, it's, we're always using faith, either faith that this is going to work out, that this is good,

129
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.640
that God's working this all together, that this is increasing my capacity, that God is going to

130
00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:54.640
show up so big, that this is going to be a miracle, that this is going to be a testimony. So there's

131
00:13:54.640 --> 00:14:01.440
faith that it'll work out. And by the way, those of us that have been praying for Christy, and you

132
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:09.600
know, she had stage four cancer, and she just got the scan. It's not in her bones anymore. It's,

133
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.520
it's 90% clear, like it's almost completely gone. And she's been standing on that, right?

134
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:21.760
And we've been standing on that together. And so, we either are using faith that it's going to work

135
00:14:21.760 --> 00:14:28.800
out, or we're using faith that it won't. We're using faith. And so, so the question is never, do I

136
00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:36.400
have faith? The question is, where's my faith directing me? Right? And so, when you have this

137
00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:44.800
wrestling ring kind of principle that we're talking about, you know that the conditions are

138
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.240
always there, but when do we lose? We lose when we're in the wrong arena.

139
00:14:51.520 --> 00:14:56.080
If you're in the wrong arena, focusing on conditions and circumstances, you've already lost.

140
00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.920
But if you're in the faith arena,

141
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.200
And the Word of God arena, you've already won.

142
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:04.560
You're more than a conqueror.

143
00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:06.560
He's already won this battle for you,

144
00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:07.720
and you're going to come out.

145
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.880
And so I literally, one of the people

146
00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:13.160
that I was talking to, which was just yesterday,

147
00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:15.080
was my son going through this.

148
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.600
And he had, man, he had a business hardship,

149
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.900
the kind that those of us that happens in business

150
00:15:20.900 --> 00:15:22.720
that just like wipes you out.

151
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:25.600
And, you know, I mean, just makes you,

152
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.240
made him want to jump off a cliff or something.

153
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.060
And he's young.

154
00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:30.100
He hasn't hit those.

155
00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:32.740
Those of us that are seasoned, we understand.

156
00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:34.420
These things happen in business

157
00:15:34.420 --> 00:15:37.340
and it's not the end of the world, right?

158
00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:40.620
But as a mother, this is the strange thing.

159
00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:43.840
As a mother, and I'm hearing this

160
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.860
because enough time of God renewing my mind,

161
00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:50.660
enough understanding of what the Word says,

162
00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:53.480
I could actually feel joy.

163
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.920
Now, when I used to read the book of James,

164
00:15:56.920 --> 00:15:58.620
I thought he's on drugs.

165
00:15:59.060 --> 00:16:02.100
Count it all joy when you hit every kind of diverse trial.

166
00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:03.900
Like, oh yeah, let's have a party.

167
00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:06.040
Count it all joy, right?

168
00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:08.100
But I could right now.

169
00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:10.860
And I could talk to him about that

170
00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:13.380
because I was like, oh wow.

171
00:16:13.380 --> 00:16:15.000
I said, this is going to be good.

172
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.380
God is increasing your capacity right now.

173
00:16:19.380 --> 00:16:21.380
You're going to come through this.

174
00:16:21.380 --> 00:16:23.780
And on the other side, you're going to be wiser.

175
00:16:23.780 --> 00:16:24.820
You're going to be stronger.

176
00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:26.220
You're going to be more creative.

177
00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:28.740
You're going to do things differently and better.

178
00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:31.540
Something super good is going to come out of this.

179
00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:35.380
And I could actually feel like, wow, I'm so grateful.

180
00:16:35.380 --> 00:16:38.420
Number one, it was driving him back to the Word.

181
00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:41.580
My son in the Word, so happy, right?

182
00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:45.020
I'm overjoyed that this trial is doing that.

183
00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:48.260
Two, he's already reflecting, you know,

184
00:16:48.260 --> 00:16:50.060
I should have been wiser with money.

185
00:16:50.060 --> 00:16:52.300
I should have, like, he's already getting

186
00:16:52.300 --> 00:16:54.860
some of the lessons coming in, right?

187
00:16:54.860 --> 00:17:00.060
And he's learning how do you go through these trials, right?

188
00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:07.300
And so it's which arena are we in, right?

189
00:17:07.300 --> 00:17:11.780
And so when we're in that wrong arena, why are we losing?

190
00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:16.180
Because the conditions are speaking louder than truth

191
00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:18.819
unless we switch arenas.

192
00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:22.500
You see, faith is not denying reality.

193
00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.220
It's not Pollyanna.

194
00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:26.540
Yes, this thing happened to your health.

195
00:17:26.540 --> 00:17:28.099
Yes, I need to take steps.

196
00:17:28.099 --> 00:17:30.300
Or yes, this thing happened to my finances.

197
00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:31.340
I need to take steps.

198
00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:34.460
Or yes, this thing is breaking down in relationships.

199
00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:37.820
We're not walking around Pollyanna.

200
00:17:37.820 --> 00:17:39.180
It's not denying.

201
00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:42.940
But it's refusing to let what you see.

202
00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:48.260
Remember, God has given us spiritual eyes and physical eyes.

203
00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:51.060
It's not letting all senses, right?

204
00:17:51.060 --> 00:17:53.180
We've got physical eyes, spiritual eyes.

205
00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:55.460
Physical ears, spiritual ears, right?

206
00:17:55.460 --> 00:17:59.420
Physical perception, inner sight, right?

207
00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:01.980
Physical taste and spiritual taste.

208
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:04.700
The Bible says, taste and know that the Lord is good.

209
00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:06.380
Your word is sweeter than honey.

210
00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:09.820
So everything has a physical and a spiritual.

211
00:18:09.820 --> 00:18:13.660
And it's not letting what your eyes see,

212
00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:15.940
which are these conditions, these circumstances,

213
00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:18.780
not letting them define your truth,

214
00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:22.340
not letting them define, not carrying it

215
00:18:22.380 --> 00:18:26.220
into the future and using your God-given image maker

216
00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:28.380
to imagine the worst case scenario.

217
00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:30.340
That's faith out of control.

218
00:18:30.340 --> 00:18:34.700
That's your God-given image maker out of control.

219
00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:37.220
And so it's refusing.

220
00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:39.220
And so it's understanding.

221
00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:41.060
And this is another conversation.

222
00:18:41.060 --> 00:18:42.220
We don't have time today,

223
00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:47.180
but it's understanding that faith is actually a substance.

224
00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:50.420
If you read Hebrews 11, one,

225
00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:54.540
especially in the Amplified Translation, for example,

226
00:18:54.540 --> 00:18:59.540
it says that faith is the substance of things hoped for.

227
00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:05.060
The evidence, faith is the evidence, not what you're seeing.

228
00:19:05.060 --> 00:19:09.260
Faith is the evidence of things unseen.

229
00:19:09.260 --> 00:19:14.260
So faith lets you walk out and birth

230
00:19:14.300 --> 00:19:18.180
and reveal, manifest, bring to your hands

231
00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:24.180
the truth, not what your eyes are seeing.

232
00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:28.260
Isn't that powerful?

233
00:19:28.260 --> 00:19:31.140
And so you have to understand

234
00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:33.660
and take back your God-given authority.

235
00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:36.620
Jesus didn't say about the mountain.

236
00:19:36.620 --> 00:19:41.300
He didn't say, ask the mountain politely, please move.

237
00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:44.300
He didn't say, just figure out a way.

238
00:19:44.300 --> 00:19:46.460
Like people always say, figure out a way to go over

239
00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:48.100
and figure out a way to go around it.

240
00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:53.860
Figure out, he said, say to the mountain, be thou removed.

241
00:19:55.820 --> 00:19:58.620
Speak to the mountains with authority.

242
00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:00.140
This is where certainty.

243
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.200
and confidence in Christ comes.

244
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.400
That's Mark 11, by the way.

245
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:10.400
So mountains move when you stop negotiating with conditions.

246
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:14.120
Stop negotiating.

247
00:20:14.120 --> 00:20:16.440
I'll never forget, I've shared this story,

248
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.960
it touched my life so much.

249
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.280
A man named Walter that I met

250
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:22.920
when I was traveling in Kansas City.

251
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.160
And we had invited Walter,

252
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.360
it was when I was a founder

253
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:29.480
of a international nutrition company.

254
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.920
And we were gonna be speaking there.

255
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:36.360
And Walter had been invited to come hear us speak.

256
00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:39.800
And that particular day, he had a doctor's appointment.

257
00:20:39.800 --> 00:20:44.800
And he had advancing arthritis, crippling arthritis,

258
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:47.160
and he was a painter by trade.

259
00:20:48.040 --> 00:20:53.040
And the doctor literally pointed to a wheelchair.

260
00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:55.240
So imagine an authority in your life,

261
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.520
a doctor, an expert,

262
00:20:56.520 --> 00:20:58.200
the one you're putting your trust in,

263
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.600
pointing to the wheelchair and said,

264
00:21:00.600 --> 00:21:04.280
this is where you're going, you have to get ready.

265
00:21:04.280 --> 00:21:07.400
Get your house ready, put down your paintbrush.

266
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.920
Like these are like these negative word curses,

267
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.560
really being spoken over him that could be so devastating.

268
00:21:14.560 --> 00:21:16.640
And we have a choice in that moment,

269
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.320
whose word, whose report,

270
00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:21.080
like Christie said about the cancer,

271
00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:24.920
whose report will I believe, right?

272
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.840
And he walked out of the doctor's office

273
00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:31.640
and he stood looking up at the sky at God.

274
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:36.640
And he said, God, I've heard the doctor's report.

275
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.040
What do you say?

276
00:21:40.040 --> 00:21:44.400
And he was open and receptive to hear another word,

277
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.280
the true word, he was open.

278
00:21:47.280 --> 00:21:51.560
And God said, I have an answer for you

279
00:21:51.560 --> 00:21:53.640
that you have not yet seen.

280
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.400
And he gets home and the answering machine

281
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.000
was inviting him.

282
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.760
In fact, the message on the answering machine

283
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:03.360
from Rhonda to Walter said,

284
00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:05.560
Walter, cause he was a couple hours away,

285
00:22:05.560 --> 00:22:09.560
ask God if you're supposed to come to our house

286
00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:11.840
on this particular day.

287
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:15.200
And God said, that's what I'm talking about.

288
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.440
And he came and the particular nutritional product

289
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.680
that we had developed helped him so much.

290
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.960
But the point of this conversation is whose word,

291
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.920
who has authority?

292
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.920
So mountains move when you stop negotiating with conditions

293
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:35.960
and you stand in your authority.

294
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.800
And this is why we do the Prosper Power Hour, right?

295
00:22:39.800 --> 00:22:43.000
Because the way that you can stand in authority

296
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:47.360
when you know who you are, who God says you are,

297
00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:51.040
and when you know what God has already done

298
00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:53.080
and that you're more than a conqueror

299
00:22:53.080 --> 00:22:57.320
and you know your identity, you know your authority.

300
00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:59.440
And part of that is being able,

301
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.200
the mind, heart, mouth connection

302
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:03.920
that I always teach, right?

303
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.400
It's able to, first of all, get ahold of your thoughts

304
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.880
because your thoughts wanna just run to the wrong arena.

305
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.640
Stabilize, pause, take a breath.

306
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.080
And then how are we transformed?

307
00:23:19.080 --> 00:23:21.280
By the renewing of our mind.

308
00:23:21.280 --> 00:23:25.640
So we change to the truth

309
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.200
and then we tap into the true feeling,

310
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:31.960
not the feeling of fear.

311
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:36.960
It's that fear that puts out just a toxic chemical stew

312
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.160
to your body that can land you in the emergency room.

313
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.800
Anxiety looks just like a heart attack, right?

314
00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:46.360
And everything constricts in fear.

315
00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:48.200
And so your circulation constricts,

316
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.880
your creativity constricts.

317
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:54.880
So we can't be in fear,

318
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.560
but perfect love casts out fear.

319
00:23:57.560 --> 00:24:00.440
And so we're renewing our mind

320
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.160
and that's what these promises are,

321
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.960
that we're starting to speak the truth

322
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.080
and we're starting to stand on the word

323
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:09.080
and then we're tapping into the true feeling of that.

324
00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:12.360
We're not letting our feelings and our imagination

325
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.240
take us down a path.

326
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.440
And then we speak, we speak.

327
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.400
And that's what this is, say to the mountain,

328
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.320
be thou removed, right?

329
00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:26.760
And so it's that mind, heart, mouth connection

330
00:24:26.760 --> 00:24:28.560
as we're standing in authority.

331
00:24:28.560 --> 00:24:31.440
Authority is calm.

332
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.200
Fear is frantic.

333
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.880
Authority is calm.

334
00:24:36.040 --> 00:24:41.040
And so I want you to understand before we go into prayer

335
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.320
that your imagination,

336
00:24:44.320 --> 00:24:47.760
your God given image maker,

337
00:24:47.760 --> 00:24:52.760
your imagination is neutral, but powerful.

338
00:24:54.760 --> 00:24:57.360
God gave you this image maker

339
00:24:57.360 --> 00:25:00.280
and it can be used to reach.

340
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.800
rehearse and replay disaster, or rehearse and replace all the things that can go wrong,

341
00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:14.720
the conditions, or to rehearse promise and get into the feeling tonality,

342
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:20.880
which every feeling has a frequency, which simply means it has a wavelength.

343
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:26.320
Everything that God has created is vibrating. We know even the things that look solid,

344
00:25:26.320 --> 00:25:31.520
the table or whatever, there's vibration. Go back to the science of understanding

345
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:35.760
the movement at the atomic and especially at the quantum level.

346
00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:43.920
So you understand that it's moving at what frequency is it moving, right?

347
00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:49.280
Do you know the highest frequencies are the fruits of the spirit?

348
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:57.280
Love, joy, peace. These are the highest frequencies. And so if you don't consciously

349
00:25:57.280 --> 00:26:04.240
direct your God-given image maker, your imagination, well, then you have what the

350
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:10.800
Bible calls vain imaginings, right? So if you don't consciously direct it, fear will gladly

351
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:19.040
hijack it. And so that's why scripture repeatedly tells us, fix your mind.

352
00:26:19.040 --> 00:26:26.240
We learned last week or a couple of weeks ago, Isaiah 26, 3, he will keep you in perfect peace,

353
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:34.320
whose mind is stayed on me, whose mind is fixed on me. Philippians, you know, Paul is saying

354
00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:39.120
whatsoever is good, whatsoever is lovely. If it be any virtue, if there be any praise,

355
00:26:39.120 --> 00:26:45.600
in other words, if it be high frequency, fix your mind on this.

356
00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:53.600
This is your part. There's God's part. He's given the promise. He's paid the price on the cross.

357
00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:59.280
He's done everything. He's made you the temple of Holy Spirit. He's given you authority,

358
00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:08.480
but your part is to choose where you're fixing your mind, what arena that you're playing in.

359
00:27:08.560 --> 00:27:15.200
Is that helpful? Before we go to prayer, does that help you? If you can get in the habit that

360
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.760
when conditions come, get, this is a, it's a new habit. We're not taught this in school.

361
00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:29.200
Our parents didn't model this, right? When conditions come, it's the gift of the pause,

362
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:41.200
the pause protocol. Just pause and breathe. Take a deep breath. Make the exhale longer than the

363
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:48.960
inhale. This resets your, it recalibrates, resets your nervous system from the fight or flight,

364
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:58.720
sympathetic to the parasympathetic. Just pausing, breathing, and then if you want to add speaking,

365
00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:05.280
thank you, God. You're going to work this together for good. Thank you, God. What's the good here

366
00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:10.160
that I'm not seeing? Thank you, God. This is a gift. Help me see the gift.

367
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:18.640
Thank you, God. You're increasing my capacity right now. So what appears that wants to hijack

368
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:27.680
your brain, you can say, thank you. What a gift. And when you reflect, can you not look at your

369
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:34.000
life some of the hardest times? Can you not now look at them and see what a gift they are? Can

370
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:40.640
you not, can you not begin to see that? I'd love any, any comments in the chat. I love how this is

371
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:46.800
landing for you. Is this, we're going to go into prayer now, but is this landing for you? What's,

372
00:28:46.800 --> 00:28:54.880
what's really jumping out in, in what I'm sharing? What is God showing you? And you're welcome to

373
00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:00.000
unmute and just talk or type it in the chat, whatever's easier. I know some of you are,

374
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:06.160
don't even have the camera on. So what's landing for you as we get ready to go into prayer?

375
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:14.800
Well, I'll share. This is so timely. And I was, when I saw the email for it this morning, I was

376
00:29:14.800 --> 00:29:21.840
like, I got to be there. I just recently signed a new client, a pretty big project, and I prepped

377
00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:25.920
for the kickoff meeting yesterday, you know, spent all the time putting everything together,

378
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:31.840
got to the meeting. And one of the three people that represented the counties that I'm serving

379
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.840
kind of came in. It's like, why do we even need to be here? We don't need this scope of work.

380
00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:42.400
We can do this on our own. It was like, after they had signed the agreement, the contract was

381
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:48.400
executed, we were ready to kick off. And all of a sudden it kind of blew up. Right. And so in that

382
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.880
moment, you know, you start to have those feelings, you're experiencing that, like,

383
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.040
oh my goodness, this, this big project is slipping right out of my hands. I don't even know this

384
00:29:57.040 --> 00:29:59.760
person and they're already upset with me that I'm here to serve them.

385
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:08.160
Yes. And so hearing this, it's just like grounding again and like there's there's a gift in this.

386
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:10.640
Yes. Maybe it's the gift of not working with them.

387
00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:20.000
It can be. It's you. And this is why I love the question is what is the good here that I'm not

388
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:26.960
seeing? And and this can be, you know, it can be in the in the private prayer time and and so on.

389
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:36.320
Right. Because you will see. And it can be like I was saying to my son yesterday, it's like

390
00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:45.760
you've got to get in a calm place to have some creative. Like I teach you guys CEO hours,

391
00:30:45.760 --> 00:30:55.520
right, to say what is in this that will actually cause me with God to create something even more

392
00:30:55.520 --> 00:31:02.800
incredible. Right. Because it's usually I mean, it's funny, you know, you got to post it note

393
00:31:02.800 --> 00:31:09.440
here or something. It's like the things that we have often come out of a mistake or an experiment

394
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:18.240
gone wrong or business gone wrong or like it's like it turns into the next evolution. And so,

395
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:24.880
um, yeah, I mean, I can't wait to hear the rest of the story. But first and foremost,

396
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:31.040
God's growing your capacity because you're growing so much so fast, Kate. Right. I mean,

397
00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:38.320
when you look at in coaching how far you went in your first year in business, right, from from zero

398
00:31:38.320 --> 00:31:43.360
from no business, you know, no leads to, you know, a couple hundred thousand dollars in contracts.

399
00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:50.880
And now this year to be going for the millions on a million dollars requires a different capacity.

400
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:56.960
Yes. Then then a six figure requires a different capacity than a seven figure. And so guess what

401
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:02.560
increases our capacity? It's exactly stuff like this. So you can smile and you're like, oh,

402
00:32:02.560 --> 00:32:07.360
thank you. You're increasing my capacity. What do I need to learn? What do I understand?

403
00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:12.800
Need to understand how can I grow? And it becomes a gift. Thank you for being so transparent and

404
00:32:12.800 --> 00:32:18.000
sharing that. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story. It's going to be a fun testimony.

405
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:24.400
I'm quite sure. So I was going to say something here to who I have said I am for a long time

406
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:31.040
is bold, faith, no fear. So I put that in the chat. But and I guess we do have things happen.

407
00:32:31.040 --> 00:32:37.840
I had I just got I think what she felt was like this gut punch or stab to the heart,

408
00:32:37.840 --> 00:32:44.480
this unexpected, you know, unmet expectations is my talk going to be my show today, you know,

409
00:32:45.360 --> 00:32:51.280
and you talked about that a few weeks ago and I had already written that. Wow.

410
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:59.280
Before then that it was going to be my next solo show. So anyway, I had I have an Airbnb in my home

411
00:32:59.280 --> 00:33:06.640
and I have 14 five star reviews and absolute immaculate attention to detail is my

412
00:33:07.280 --> 00:33:16.080
description. You know, it's just a labor of love. And I had a tenant book for two weeks over the

413
00:33:16.080 --> 00:33:24.720
new year. And he he abandoned early, he went after a week early and requested a refund.

414
00:33:25.280 --> 00:33:30.160
And I was like, whoa, you know, hey, I hope your family's OK. I hope everything's OK. Everything

415
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:37.360
is just really my mama says, take the high road. That's what I did. Well, he came back. So I mean,

416
00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:44.000
I said, you know, I'm in a dilemma, you know, really, that's not here's the policy of Airbnb.

417
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:50.400
Here's you know, but he wanted the whole thing back. So he made a complaint to Airbnb that I

418
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:54.160
spent basically three days going back and forth with three different people or four different

419
00:33:54.160 --> 00:34:02.240
people, that my place was messy and dirty. And little did he know, I have an album with 47

420
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:08.159
pictures of it that are timestamped that right before he got there. So but then he wrote a five

421
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:20.159
then he wrote a one star review. Just guess beware. I mean, it's ugly. It's just it's just

422
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:26.159
ugly. Like I was monitoring his parking when he got there. I happen to be outside. And anyway,

423
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:32.880
it's a long story. One star review. And it just gut punches you when when it's your it's I mean,

424
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:38.239
I don't take much personally. It takes a lot. But I was the takeaway, Charlotte, real quick,

425
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:44.159
because we're going to run out. The takeaway is I am going I'm not going to fight the review.

426
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.760
I wrote a response and just like me, you know, maybe less basically. And I'm sorry,

427
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:54.480
you had a bad experience and just left it. Yes. Because I think it reflects a whole lot more on

428
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:59.920
him. There was no it was lies, just flat out lies. Well, and you have you have and he says he said

429
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.840
He was a Christian and, and he called out in the, you know, he called out my faith,

430
00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:07.020
you know, and, or my Christianity or whatever.

431
00:35:07.680 --> 00:35:09.540
I'm like, Hmm, Hmm.

432
00:35:09.540 --> 00:35:10.440
May you be blessed.

433
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.560
Something's going on that I couldn't.

434
00:35:13.520 --> 00:35:17.440
And typically if somebody doesn't want to be here, I did, I did

435
00:35:17.520 --> 00:35:19.440
go ahead and refund half of it.

436
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:24.720
I split the difference with him, but, um, I didn't have to, you know,

437
00:35:24.720 --> 00:35:30.180
it hits me, Charlotte is that, um, it's going to bring even more business

438
00:35:30.180 --> 00:35:34.960
because sometimes negative press is like awesome press because now they've got

439
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.620
to read, but they were thinking about coming.

440
00:35:37.620 --> 00:35:41.820
They read that now they got to read all the other reviews and then they see all

441
00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:45.600
the amazing five-star reviews and it just gets you more business.

442
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.500
So, um, it reminds me of, of Joseph, what it says in Genesis, what the enemy

443
00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:54.120
meant for harm, God will use for good.

444
00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:56.520
I believe that could be a powerful promise.

445
00:35:56.600 --> 00:35:57.520
Absolutely.

446
00:35:57.520 --> 00:35:59.940
And my I'm, you know, you hear me say it all the time.

447
00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:01.800
Everything is always working out for me at all.

448
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.280
I mean, I believe it is.

449
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.280
And you still get gut punched every so often.

450
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.000
Yes.

451
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:12.360
It's not that we don't feel it for a second, but that's why the training.

452
00:36:12.980 --> 00:36:18.120
Of pausing and breathing and the mind heart mouth connection is so powerful.

453
00:36:18.120 --> 00:36:19.520
Thank you for sharing Charlotte.

454
00:36:19.520 --> 00:36:20.200
I love that.

455
00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:21.000
I love that.

456
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:21.840
Okay, guys.

457
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.880
I want to make sure we have plenty of time for prayer and I've got a

458
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:26.200
client right behind this.

459
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.080
So, um, we have prayer requests.

460
00:36:29.080 --> 00:36:31.600
Everybody can pray, um, for Kim.

461
00:36:31.600 --> 00:36:35.680
She's been going through some vertigo and she's going through some testing right now.

462
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:42.360
So she's asking us to pray, um, for healing and, you know, the, the, the truth

463
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:48.360
to come out and, um, and then, uh, Christie lives in Minnesota and she's

464
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.360
asking us to be praying, uh, there.

465
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:55.520
And if there's anything else, please speak up, but we hold these prayers.

466
00:36:55.520 --> 00:37:01.680
I send them out to you in the, in the email afterwards and, um, just hold

467
00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:06.720
the promise all week, hold the principle, hold the prayer, and I'm

468
00:37:06.720 --> 00:37:07.760
going to give you a practice.

469
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:11.760
So whoever wants to start, let's just pray right now.

470
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:16.640
And then I will come back and, um, wrap it up and give you

471
00:37:16.640 --> 00:37:18.640
your practice for this week.

472
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:26.520
Father God, I just thank you for this, uh, time together.

473
00:37:26.600 --> 00:37:29.280
I'm so very thankful for Brenda.

474
00:37:30.120 --> 00:37:36.520
So very thankful to hear both Kate and Charlotte and their stories and Christie,

475
00:37:36.560 --> 00:37:45.320
right, all the stories, um, my story right now, Lord, and to be reminded of those

476
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.160
promises that you've so thoughtfully and eternally, um, given to us Lord, uh,

477
00:37:52.160 --> 00:37:58.800
that our faith in you covers all circumstances, all conditions, and that

478
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:04.480
what we see in our physical lives and what we see spiritually, Lord, is covered

479
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:12.120
to remove any mountains that currently take place in our lives and to, to, to

480
00:38:12.120 --> 00:38:18.120
recover and reclaim the righteousness of your mighty name, your promises,

481
00:38:18.120 --> 00:38:20.400
your yeses, and your amens.

482
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:26.440
Um, I just prayed father God for covering over each and every one of us and beyond

483
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:29.560
Lord, that we will just be reminded.

484
00:38:29.560 --> 00:38:35.920
Thank you for the reminder, Lord, that every mountain is to be removed, but only

485
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:43.360
if we agree, we come into agreement and that we pause and that we breathe and that

486
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:50.600
we pray in and that we trust in every promise, every declaration that you have

487
00:38:50.600 --> 00:38:55.080
for us, Lord, and we just pray for those things in your mighty name.

488
00:38:56.720 --> 00:38:57.400
Thank you.

489
00:38:58.240 --> 00:38:58.760
Thank you.

490
00:38:59.640 --> 00:39:02.000
Lord, we thank you that you are a good, good father.

491
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:04.720
We thank you that you call us your daughters.

492
00:39:05.240 --> 00:39:08.520
Um, and that every good and perfect gift comes from you.

493
00:39:08.600 --> 00:39:12.920
I pray father that each one of us would stand in the authority that you've given

494
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:20.360
us to, um, claim whatever it is that you've given us to stand up and to say yes to.

495
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:26.440
And father, we pray that you would be in our minds, Jesus, that you would give us

496
00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:32.240
clarity and wisdom and counsel and that you would be in our hearts and in our minds.

497
00:39:32.240 --> 00:39:37.720
And that we would be able to live a life that is just as good and perfect as you

498
00:39:38.560 --> 00:39:43.760
Jesus, that you would give us clarity and wisdom and capacity.

499
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:51.160
Father, we thank you that you continue to grow us in ways that, um, seem so beyond

500
00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:55.240
us father, but we thank you that you love us and that you're here with us and that

501
00:39:55.240 --> 00:40:00.000
you desire us to grow in our capacity, our trust at our whole.

502
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:09.600
than you.

503
00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:14.480
And Father, I just thank you for your beautiful design, that you work all these things for our good,

504
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:22.240
that you are already working it more. I thank you God. You are more committed to our transformation

505
00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:30.800
than we are sometimes. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for helping us in those moments, reminding us,

506
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:36.000
bringing your word to our attention. Thank you, God, for your healing. Thank you, Lord,

507
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:43.280
that you are above and more powerful than any sickness, any destruction that would come against

508
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:50.400
us, any pestilence, like the psalm says, Lord, and we sit with you in victory, Lord. We sit with you

509
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:57.040
in your authority, seated above all of these. So, Lord, I pray that over Kim, Lord, that this vertigo

510
00:40:57.040 --> 00:41:03.200
is gone from her body, Lord, that it doesn't haunt her any longer, that it has no place,

511
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:08.720
because the blood of Jesus already paid for her, and the victory has already been won for her. So I

512
00:41:08.720 --> 00:41:13.920
stand in that, and I pray that it becomes the experience of the reality, that she experiences

513
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:22.320
the reality of what you've already done for her. God, I thank you. We trust you. Thank you for this

514
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:27.040
deeper level of trust that we get to have through these trials, Lord, this deeper communion with you,

515
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:33.040
Lord, as we run to you in these moments and these pauses, and thank you, God, for the ripple effect

516
00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:37.680
that it's going to have on the people around us that who are going to benefit from us pausing,

517
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:42.800
and the people we influence, like our kids, are going to see that and be able to take that

518
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:47.120
with them too, Lord. Thank you. Thank you, Lord, for this transformation.

519
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:06.480
Lord, we just thank you for this beautiful time. You've said wherever two or more are gathered,

520
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:13.040
that there you are, and we feel your presence. We feel the way you're working.

521
00:42:16.080 --> 00:42:27.840
Thank you for what Joseph said, that whatever the enemy meant for evil, you used for good.

522
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:38.080
That those hard times that Joseph went through, from being betrayed from his family, being sold

523
00:42:38.080 --> 00:42:46.960
into slavery, being lied to, being forgotten, like every one of those things was just perfectly

524
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:57.040
preparing him for his divine call, actually second highest authority in the world at that time.

525
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:05.200
That's what you're doing in us, that you are raising us up, that you're molding us,

526
00:43:05.200 --> 00:43:14.080
that you're shaping us, so Lord, I ask that you help us to train our minds and train our

527
00:43:14.080 --> 00:43:21.840
imagination and stand, like you say, stand guard at the door of our mouth, stand guard at our heart,

528
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:31.440
because out of it flow the issues of life. Lord, let these words take root and be deep and create

529
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:40.720
transformation in our life, and I pray that every one of these conditions will be used for your

530
00:43:40.720 --> 00:43:48.560
glory, that Kim will have a powerful testimony, that Kate will have a powerful testimony, that

531
00:43:48.640 --> 00:43:57.520
Sharla will have a power, that each and every one of us will have a powerful testimony, that our

532
00:43:57.520 --> 00:44:07.760
test becomes our testimony when we get in the right arena. Faith, so Lord, increase our faith,

533
00:44:08.720 --> 00:44:18.240
increase our complete trust and reliance of knowing that you are in us, you are around us,

534
00:44:18.240 --> 00:44:27.360
you are upon us, you are working through us, and you are good, and we love you. We pray continued

535
00:44:28.080 --> 00:44:37.840
healing in states like Minnesota, continued healing in bodies like Christie, continued

536
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:45.360
healing in businesses. Lord, as your presence comes and renews and works all things together

537
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:53.760
for good, we celebrate that, we praise you, we're so grateful, Lord, and we love you in Jesus' name.

538
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:59.520
Amen and amen.

539
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.720
Okay, real quick, our practice for this week,

540
00:45:06.640 --> 00:45:10.120
it's going to be this unshakable pause

541
00:45:10.120 --> 00:45:12.900
that we have been talking about.

542
00:45:12.900 --> 00:45:17.900
So this is not theory, this is what you do in real time,

543
00:45:18.680 --> 00:45:21.840
when circumstances hit, right?

544
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.720
When you get the email, when you get the diagnosis,

545
00:45:24.720 --> 00:45:28.400
when you get the review, when you get the conversation,

546
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:29.680
when you get the bank account,

547
00:45:29.680 --> 00:45:33.740
when you get the delay, whatever, you pause.

548
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:40.800
You pause, no reacting, no spiraling, no fixing,

549
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.980
because that's our nature, we want to go into fix it mode.

550
00:45:45.980 --> 00:45:48.800
And this is not what God is calling us to.

551
00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:52.080
So step one, you pause.

552
00:45:52.080 --> 00:45:57.040
Step two, you breathe, you slow your body down,

553
00:45:57.040 --> 00:45:59.360
you get out of the sympathetic back

554
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:04.360
into the parasympathetic before you do anything else.

555
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.280
You can put a hand on your heart

556
00:46:08.280 --> 00:46:12.880
and you take one slow inhale through the nose

557
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:18.040
and you just picture just breathing in God,

558
00:46:18.040 --> 00:46:20.800
God's peace, God's spirit.

559
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:24.720
And then one slow exhale through the mouth,

560
00:46:24.720 --> 00:46:27.880
make the exhale longer than the inhale.

561
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.500
This resets, this recalibrates.

562
00:46:31.500 --> 00:46:35.080
So your nervous system gets the signal, I'm safe.

563
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.500
I can calm down, I'm safe.

564
00:46:38.500 --> 00:46:41.400
I can get out of fight or flight, I'm safe.

565
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:46.400
So you pause, you breathe, and then you declare.

566
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:52.320
We use the power of saying out loud, this is a gift.

567
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:53.960
This is a gift.

568
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:57.640
And the creator is working this together for my good.

569
00:46:58.640 --> 00:47:01.000
This is a gift.

570
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.120
And the creator's working this together for my good.

571
00:47:04.120 --> 00:47:07.320
You're anchoring it in Romans 8, 28.

572
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.520
Not this feels good, because it probably doesn't,

573
00:47:12.520 --> 00:47:15.640
but God is good here.

574
00:47:16.940 --> 00:47:21.740
And step four, you're redirecting your imagination.

575
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:26.600
Taking back, when your imagination tries to get hijacked,

576
00:47:26.600 --> 00:47:29.360
you're redirecting your imagination.

577
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.640
So you quickly kind of take a survey.

578
00:47:31.640 --> 00:47:34.800
What picture is my mind rehearsing right now?

579
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:36.440
What am I, faith, right?

580
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:37.960
What am I meditating on?

581
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:40.520
Because that's what's happening, you're meditating.

582
00:47:40.520 --> 00:47:41.960
What am I meditating?

583
00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:45.440
Is it on faith or is it on inverted faith, fear?

584
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.840
What am I meditating on right here?

585
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:49.720
Take back that hijack

586
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.080
and then deliberately replace the image.

587
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:56.720
See what you desire to see.

588
00:47:56.720 --> 00:47:59.880
See a perfect resolution.

589
00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:04.680
See provision, see healing, see peace.

590
00:48:04.680 --> 00:48:07.440
See yourself standing unshaken.

591
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:11.920
Like literally, you get to rewrite the story.

592
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:16.680
See the client coming back and saying, I'm sorry,

593
00:48:16.680 --> 00:48:20.560
I kind of lost it and I really do want to work with you.

594
00:48:20.560 --> 00:48:24.000
See like a great idea coming out of this

595
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.000
and everybody's celebrating, seeing new resources.

596
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:31.420
Like you get to guide this.

597
00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:36.280
You get to like not let it be hijacked, right?

598
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.000
So that you're choosing the ring.

599
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:41.120
So one final question,

600
00:48:41.120 --> 00:48:43.640
which ring am I standing in right now?

601
00:48:43.640 --> 00:48:45.080
Faith or circumstances?

602
00:48:45.080 --> 00:48:46.320
Just do a quick check.

603
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:47.720
Which ring am I standing?

604
00:48:47.720 --> 00:48:50.900
And then consciously move back into the faith.

605
00:48:50.900 --> 00:48:53.080
You might want to take physical steps.

606
00:48:53.080 --> 00:48:54.880
Wherever you're standing,

607
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:58.120
just move and literally say,

608
00:48:58.120 --> 00:49:01.340
no, I'm getting back in the faith arena.

609
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.500
See unshakable people aren't louder.

610
00:49:05.500 --> 00:49:07.480
They're not more intense.

611
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.320
They're not pretending nothing hurts.

612
00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:10.280
They're just anchored.

613
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:11.160
They're just rooted.

614
00:49:11.160 --> 00:49:12.640
They're just grounded.

615
00:49:12.720 --> 00:49:16.640
And they understand that circumstances are temporary,

616
00:49:16.640 --> 00:49:20.160
but promise is permanent.

617
00:49:20.160 --> 00:49:22.740
All right, lady, gotta go.

618
00:49:22.740 --> 00:49:24.440
Blessings, blessings.

619
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:26.320
See you tomorrow in office hours.
