1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.640
And good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour.

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:17.840
This is where we are every Wednesday, 8am, it's part of the Prosper Leader Membership

3
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:20.840
and it's my great joy.

4
00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:25.240
It's a wonderful way, you know, Wednesdays are, I've heard them called like hump days

5
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:26.240
or whatever.

6
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:31.000
I'm getting through the middle of the week, but hey, we hit it strong and the reason it's

7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.280
on Wednesday and not Monday or Tuesday is Monday and Tuesday is my days off.

8
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.280
So Wednesday is really like my start of the week.

9
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:48.920
And so the Power Hour is, got four components that God showed me that I think are so important

10
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.240
for us to build.

11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:58.960
He began speaking to me, oh, end of last year really, about heaven and earth and bringing

12
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.680
those together.

13
00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:07.280
And little did I know that the year, the Jewish year actually, is that it's about heaven and

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.280
earth coming together.

15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.120
So I was really fun when I saw that after the Lord had revealed it before.

16
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:21.400
So this is where we focus on one new promise a week.

17
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:29.720
And it's also where we pray, which is so important.

18
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.440
We look at biblical principle based on the promise and we have a practice that we can

19
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:38.720
do all week.

20
00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:42.320
And so I'm super excited.

21
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:51.680
This one is, is really fun because we're not just, we're not just learning about something

22
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.000
and this is a powerful switch.

23
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:05.800
We're entering a place when you start seeing it that way, we're entering a place.

24
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:13.160
And so the intention for today is really, we're moving from fear to faith.

25
00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:17.720
We've talked about that a lot from, from striving, right?

26
00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:20.880
To resting, resting in his presence.

27
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.120
From reacting to responding.

28
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.880
Some of you saw some of the stuff I faced yesterday in my Facebook post.

29
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:34.760
I talked about it, learning to pause and respond, not react.

30
00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:38.080
So before we start, cause we've got a really juicy one today.

31
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.920
I'm so excited what we're going to cover today.

32
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:53.000
I always open up to talk about any prayer requests and any praise reports, prayer requests

33
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.200
and praise reports.

34
00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:58.040
Do we have any?

35
00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:14.000
I know, Elen, you have surgery on the 27th on your wrist.

36
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.480
So we'll definitely pray for that.

37
00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:23.520
I don't see Natalie here yet, but we'll continue to pray for her boys.

38
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.480
One recovering in his spine.

39
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.080
He was completely, when you see the picture, hunched over and he's up standing right again

40
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.440
and just praying that he gets strong.

41
00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:41.720
So we'll continue and her other son to get a job.

42
00:03:41.720 --> 00:03:43.400
I know we've been praying for that.

43
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.640
We continue to pray and celebrate Christie's healing.

44
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.760
That's been very exciting from stage four cancer.

45
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:56.920
So we continue to just praise and celebrate that.

46
00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:01.520
Is there anything else before I get started?

47
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.520
This is the place.

48
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:03.520
Yes, Jackie.

49
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.520
Can you hear me okay?

50
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.760
Or am I still lagging?

51
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:08.120
I can hear you.

52
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.800
Okay, good.

53
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.000
Just the continued prayers for my sister, Sunny, that we brought up last week for her

54
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.000
apartment.

55
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:22.040
I talked to her a little bit yesterday and she shared with me her credit score is going

56
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.040
up slowly.

57
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.080
So we're praising God for that.

58
00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:27.640
And she said, hopefully within the next few weeks.

59
00:04:27.640 --> 00:04:32.440
I don't know what that looks like, that if that would be closer to me or where she's

60
00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:33.440
at in Ohio.

61
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:42.040
But I'm just really asking the Lord just to, you know, let that go and help her decide

62
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.040
as he could speak to her about it.

63
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.040
And that grips it so tightly.

64
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:48.040
Love that.

65
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:49.040
Love that.

66
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.040
Thank you.

67
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.040
Good.

68
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.040
We will pray she'll be in there perfectly.

69
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.560
And when you think about that, that God has the perfect place for us to be living.

70
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.920
You know, he, when you think about how, even before he

71
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.360
created Adam and Eve, he created the Garden of Eden, he created

72
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.960
their home. Yeah, where he even created them. So it matters to

73
00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:24.360
him. He wants us to have a home. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. I love

74
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.480
that. Anything Amanda?

75
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:32.040
Yes. So pray for us to be able to sell this house soon that

76
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.680
we're going through the transition right now. And that

77
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.040
everything goes smooth with moving into our new home. And

78
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.160
with the closing date, and you know, just everything. So just

79
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.040
praying for the Lord to bring the right people to buy this

80
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.280
house, the right family, the right price, you know,

81
00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:57.520
everything. Okay. And also, I have next Monday, I have a

82
00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:05.400
checkup with my on ecologist. I have CLL. But it's the acute.

83
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:10.040
But God has healed. What does that stand for? Um, it's the

84
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:15.560
chronic leukemia. Okay. Oh, yeah. So, um, but he has healed

85
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.360
me and praise the Lord. But I'm just going to make sure that you

86
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.640
know, my blood levels are still. Yeah.

87
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.200
Definitely. Thank you for sharing that we will be

88
00:06:25.200 --> 00:06:29.880
praying. You guys make a note of that. And you know, keep these

89
00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:35.000
prayers all week nearby you. There's something so powerful

90
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:41.080
when two or more gather, right? Jesus always taught that. So and

91
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.920
even when everybody isn't here in the morning, like this

92
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.920
morning, they're they're listening to the replays. And

93
00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:53.320
and they're praying like a land said last week, she was she was

94
00:06:53.320 --> 00:06:57.480
right there, even though we didn't see her. And so we've

95
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.320
got like, like Ellen was saying, we've got some incredible prayer

96
00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:07.280
warriors, Kim and Natalie and Christie and so your prayers

97
00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:10.680
are being covered even when everybody can't be here in any

98
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:18.720
given moment morning. All right. I'm so excited to to share. So

99
00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:23.280
so take a breath. And I just slow down your body for right

100
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:29.080
now. Because we're not we're not going to rush into this. We're

101
00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:33.960
going to like I said, go into a place we're going to enter his

102
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.360
presence. So we're going to be reading today. And our promise

103
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:49.160
today is from Psalms 91. Now, I have to Did you raise your hand?

104
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.880
Jackie, you're muted. So I can't hear you. No, no, I'm just

105
00:07:53.880 --> 00:07:56.400
praising you because you're talking about Psalm 91. It's my

106
00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:02.080
favorite. Thank you. Oh, I don't take that very lightly. I'm just

107
00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:06.960
sharing. I am so so glad that you shared talking about your

108
00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:14.080
warriors. Here comes Kim. Um, so yeah, this has been amazing. In

109
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:25.080
fact, I'm going to grab my Bible real quick. Wow, Kim gets stuck

110
00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:28.600
in the waiting room all the time. I feel so bad for her. I

111
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:36.640
don't know why it is. Just keeps her stuck in there. I'm gonna

112
00:08:36.640 --> 00:08:39.799
just text her really quick. I don't know if she realized I let

113
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:52.760
her in but she doesn't come in. Oh, there she comes. Beautiful.

114
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.200
Okay. Um, you were you were stuck in the waiting room for a

115
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.280
long time. I was just about to text you girl. Yeah, my I'm so

116
00:09:01.280 --> 00:09:05.440
sorry, ladies. It kept spinning and spinning. Yeah. Oh, I see

117
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.320
that. Well, your timings impeccable because we're talking

118
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:13.200
about Psalms 91. And I had just walked over and grab this is Kim

119
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.720
gave me this I don't know two years ago. I don't know how long

120
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:19.760
it's been. It's been the best gift. It's just an empty

121
00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:24.040
journal. But the way it's lined and bound and just what it says

122
00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:28.720
and everything. So I keep I keep every Bible study that I create

123
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.640
in here. This is my Bible study book. And so we're talking about

124
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:44.040
that today is Psalms 91. Our promises coming from Psalms 91.

125
00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:49.240
And I think, you know, the two most powerful this is I mean,

126
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:54.640
they're all so good. Um, and for many, many years, I had a

127
00:09:54.640 --> 00:10:00.000
practice, there's 150 of reading five a day. And if you do

128
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.620
do that, then every month you finish the entire book of

129
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:09.000
Psalms. I'll do one proverb because there's 30 of those. And

130
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.940
I'll do five, five Psalms. And it was just a habit I developed

131
00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:16.340
like, I don't know, I was like 17. In addition to whatever I'm

132
00:10:16.380 --> 00:10:20.940
reading in the New Testament. But every time I asked God

133
00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:26.300
starting the day these days, what do you want me reading? And

134
00:10:26.300 --> 00:10:30.640
he takes me to Psalms 91. And I've been, you know, going to

135
00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:35.720
different translations. And so this week, normally, you'll see

136
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.900
me I'm often in the passion translation this week, I'm in

137
00:10:38.900 --> 00:10:46.200
the new living translation. And you can see I, most of it is,

138
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.880
is is marked up. But wow, like God was getting me ready for

139
00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:59.660
some of the stuff I was going to face yesterday. And my day

140
00:10:59.660 --> 00:11:03.620
before it first started, my Facebook actually got shut down.

141
00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:07.780
And that was not good. I'm doing an event on Saturday, most of

142
00:11:07.780 --> 00:11:12.940
you know, the build like Jesus event. And it's like, wow, and

143
00:11:13.260 --> 00:11:17.220
God had me read this. And it was so powerful. And I thought this

144
00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:21.420
is what we have to do for our promise this week. And the

145
00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:30.560
entire Psalms 91. During COVID. In 2020. Um, there was a pastor

146
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:36.960
that was called Psalms 91 equipping or something like

147
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.440
that. I don't remember the word, but he would teach Psalms 91

148
00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:46.840
every single day for the entire time of COVID for a year or two,

149
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.540
that we went over Psalms 91 every single day. And that was

150
00:11:51.540 --> 00:11:57.580
like the covering during COVID. And it was so powerful. There's

151
00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:01.420
a there's of course, several verses in here, but like no

152
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:04.500
disease will come near your home and all of that kind of stuff

153
00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:10.300
and claim that. And, and literally that, that was the

154
00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:15.160
case. So I've seen so many miracles come out of this. Um,

155
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:22.160
my son was living with me at the time, neither one of us chose to

156
00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:27.520
get the, the, the, the thing that was being suggested for us

157
00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:35.960
at that time. And this, this was that this was, you know, ours.

158
00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:41.140
And, um, and I didn't stop living to be truthful to glory

159
00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:45.060
to God. I salsa danced and that means touching a lot of

160
00:12:45.060 --> 00:12:48.540
different people's hands like every week. Like I didn't, I

161
00:12:48.540 --> 00:12:53.700
didn't stop. I had meetings. I had prosper TV. Um, but this

162
00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:59.360
was the armor and, and the protection. And my son used to

163
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.780
say, wow, all of my friends, everybody got it, but how come

164
00:13:02.780 --> 00:13:08.120
we don't? And I, I would tell him Psalms 91, but we're not

165
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.040
going to do all of Psalms 91. It would take too much time, but I

166
00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:15.200
encourage you to just like, get there. We're going to do the

167
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:22.680
first four verses. And, um, so we're going to do the first four

168
00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:28.280
verses and I want to grab something over here too. Um, and

169
00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:32.300
we're going to just break it down because, uh, it's really

170
00:13:32.300 --> 00:13:37.280
about dwelling about declaring about what God will do and

171
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:41.640
about armor and protection. So this is, this is one of those

172
00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:46.720
rich, rich promises that we want to just get into our memory,

173
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.440
maybe read it from different translations. So I'm going to

174
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:57.960
break it down just a little bit at a time. And so verse one from

175
00:13:58.020 --> 00:14:09.820
the NLT version says this, it says, those who live, and I

176
00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:16.460
circled the word live, those who live in the shelter, and I

177
00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:25.020
circled the word shelter of the most high will find rest in the

178
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:31.160
shadow of the almighty. That's verse one. So I want you to get

179
00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:35.920
that other translations use the word dwell. So those who live,

180
00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:45.800
those who dwell in the shelter of the most high will find rest.

181
00:14:46.640 --> 00:14:50.280
And that's something so many people are so hungry for. It's

182
00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:56.700
kind of rest. It's so many people are are so tired right

183
00:14:56.700 --> 00:15:00.060
now. It's not the kind of tired that a nap

184
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:13.140
or sleep solves. It's soul tired. I talk about it in my book, Total Soul Prosperity, about

185
00:15:13.140 --> 00:15:24.140
being soul tired. And this opens by saying, when you dwell, when you live in the shadow

186
00:15:24.140 --> 00:15:30.380
of the Most High, you find rest. When you dwell, when you live in the shelter of the

187
00:15:30.380 --> 00:15:39.420
Most High, you find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. And then, verse two. So for

188
00:15:39.420 --> 00:15:47.620
verse one, just write the word dwell. We're going to come back to it. Dwell. Verse two

189
00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:59.980
says this. This I declare about the Lord. So next to verse two, you could write the

190
00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:10.900
word declare. There's dwell, then there's declare. This I declare about the Lord. He

191
00:16:10.900 --> 00:16:19.500
alone. And I underline that. He alone. Remember, we talk often about who or what is your source.

192
00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:33.980
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety. Notice again, dwell is a place. And this declaration,

193
00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:47.740
he is my place. We're talking about inhabiting a place of safety. He is my God, and I trust

194
00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:56.840
him. So there's this declaration that says this, I declare. He alone is my refuge, my

195
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:07.520
place of safety. He is my God, and I trust him. Often, when you don't understand what's

196
00:17:07.520 --> 00:17:13.920
going on, I will often say, I don't know the answer, but I trust you. I don't know what

197
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:21.960
to do, but I trust you. It's that declaration. I trust you. I trust you and you alone. You

198
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:30.040
are my God, and I trust you. And so verse one, dwell. Verse two, this is declare. Verse

199
00:17:30.040 --> 00:17:38.120
three comes into God's part. Those are kind of what I'm declaring, and God answers that

200
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:54.200
declaration in verse three. For he will, he will rescue you from every trap. He will

201
00:17:54.200 --> 00:18:09.520
rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. So there's this rescue

202
00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:16.240
and protection is built into this promise. And I love that it says, he'll rescue you

203
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:27.040
from every trap. We're going to talk about the many traps. And finally, verse four, which

204
00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:34.000
fits so well, why we do the Prosper Power Hour, why we do a promise, why I wanted to

205
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.680
have us have, you know, if we meet 52 weeks, 52 new promises, like why just we want to

206
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:49.160
soak in these promises. Well, verse four says he will cover you with his feathers.

207
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:58.560
He will shelter you with his wings. And here's the part I want to grab. His faithful promises

208
00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:13.960
are your armor and protection. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Made

209
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:21.240
me think about what Kim gave me, this journal that I keep all my Bible studies in. I'm a

210
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:26.720
child of God, a woman of faith, a warrior of Christ. I am the storm. And look at how

211
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:36.280
she's dressed in in armor right there. So beautiful of a picture. And this is saying

212
00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:44.920
his faithful promises because God is faithful. His faithful promises are your armor and your

213
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:53.000
protection. So let's break it down a little bit. Let's go a little bit deeper. So part

214
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:59.840
one is dwell. Dwell. So the truth in this is

215
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:08.120
If you're really walking with God, you don't visit God.

216
00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:09.400
You live there.

217
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:16.880
You learn what it means to abide, to dwell, to live in his presence.

218
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.560
Jesus talked about it too.

219
00:20:18.560 --> 00:20:26.080
If you abide in me and my word abides in you, you can ask anything you want, right?

220
00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:33.280
So it's this concept of this is your dwelling place.

221
00:20:33.280 --> 00:20:36.560
This is your habitation.

222
00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:40.520
This is the place.

223
00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:48.960
People treat God like a meeting, like somewhere I go, like a duty, like a religious obligation,

224
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.960
like something.

225
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:54.200
Okay, I did my 15 minutes.

226
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.840
This is the creator of the universe.

227
00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:58.840
This is infinite love.

228
00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:00.860
This is infinite wisdom.

229
00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:02.720
This is infinite power.

230
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.600
This is infinite goodness.

231
00:21:05.600 --> 00:21:06.920
You want a little drop?

232
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.280
You want to go have a quick meeting?

233
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:21.280
Or do you want to learn what it is to dwell in that place, to abide, to live in that place?

234
00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:28.760
So if you think a little bit about like our nervous system and how God wired us, okay,

235
00:21:28.760 --> 00:21:38.320
when we feel safe, our nervous system regulates, the vagus nerve, everything calms.

236
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:43.640
We get into a parasympathetic state, the rest and digest state.

237
00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:50.280
And when you're regulated, when you're in that parasympathetic state, you get clarity.

238
00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:52.400
You can actually begin to see things you can't.

239
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.200
If you're in the fight or flight, if you're in the fear, if you're in the sympathetic

240
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.840
state, everything is clenched.

241
00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:05.200
And so you're not operating from creativity.

242
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.680
You're not able to make decisions.

243
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:13.080
You're not operating from clarity and creativity and powerful decision making.

244
00:22:13.080 --> 00:22:17.040
But when it's regulated, all those things increase, right?

245
00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:19.360
This is how our body works.

246
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:27.280
So when we feel unsafe, we move into the sympathetic, the fear, the scarcity, the reactive decision

247
00:22:27.280 --> 00:22:28.600
making.

248
00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:32.240
And so here's the insight for all of this.

249
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:39.440
If you're not dwelling, just grab a hold of this.

250
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:47.000
If you're not dwelling, if you're not abiding, if you're not living from this place, not

251
00:22:47.120 --> 00:22:53.040
just a quick meeting, but living from this place, then the default is going to go to

252
00:22:53.040 --> 00:22:54.040
fear.

253
00:22:54.040 --> 00:23:00.040
The default is going to go to the sympathetic system, right?

254
00:23:00.040 --> 00:23:04.840
And so then you start having anxiety about money.

255
00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:09.680
You start having pressure to perform, pressure to fix things.

256
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.800
You start having a fear of loss.

257
00:23:12.800 --> 00:23:14.280
What if I lose clients?

258
00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:15.600
What if I lose income?

259
00:23:15.600 --> 00:23:17.280
What if I lose my house?

260
00:23:17.280 --> 00:23:26.280
We have this idea, whereas in the other state, you can walk in this faith and this certainty

261
00:23:26.280 --> 00:23:31.900
that God has called us to live with, that nothing that is mine can be taken from me.

262
00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:35.680
Whatever God has for me, nothing can take it.

263
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.280
It's a completely different way.

264
00:23:37.280 --> 00:23:41.760
And so these things are not strategies in our business.

265
00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:46.080
These have to do with who or what is our source, right?

266
00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:52.760
And so that's why the next part when it says, I will declare this, I declare, there's a

267
00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:55.040
reason for that.

268
00:23:55.040 --> 00:24:03.160
There's a reason why part of the Prosper Daily Planner that you do every single day is declarations.

269
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:04.160
There's a reason.

270
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.280
I don't put that in there random.

271
00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:07.400
This is God's word.

272
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:12.280
This is science to declare, to learn the power.

273
00:24:12.280 --> 00:24:17.320
Scripture says thou shall declare a thing and it will be established.

274
00:24:17.320 --> 00:24:22.120
Thou shall decree a thing and it shall be established.

275
00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:24.460
Declaration is not denial.

276
00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:27.840
It's aligning with the truth of God's word.

277
00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:35.920
And you see, our brain follows our most dominant language patterns, what we're speaking, we're

278
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.120
harvesting it.

279
00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:42.480
What we repeatedly say actually becomes what we believe.

280
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:48.040
What we repeatedly say becomes what we believe.

281
00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:51.480
And then what we believe determines our behavior.

282
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.920
You see how this works?

283
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.000
And so the challenge is many are declaring, this just isn't working.

284
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.400
king. This is too hard. Maybe I'm not supposed to do this.

285
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:10.320
What if this fails? I feel like I'm behind. We're declaring the

286
00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:14.400
fear side of things instead of the certainty and faith side of

287
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:20.600
things. Whatever we focus on expands. Instead of declaring

288
00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:28.240
like this did, he is my God, period. God is my source. No

289
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:33.160
person, no client, no spouse, no government, no retirement fund

290
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.720
is my source. God is my source. When we get clear on that,

291
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:43.200
everything else gets clear. We declare, I am guided, I am

292
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:51.640
guarded, I am led. I do the combination of the declarations

293
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.400
and the I am statements. The I am has to do with establishing

294
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:01.600
our identity. I am the daughter of the Most High God. I am the

295
00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:09.800
temple of the Holy Spirit. I am led. I could go on and on. I

296
00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:15.880
add new ones every single day. These declarations, I want you

297
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:22.320
to get these. These declarations are either reinforcing fear, or

298
00:26:22.320 --> 00:26:28.640
they're activating your faith. That's why scripture says,

299
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:33.760
stand guard at the door of your mouth. That's why the Proverbs

300
00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:37.280
say the power of life and death is in the tongue. It's why the

301
00:26:37.280 --> 00:26:40.920
book of James says the tongue is more powerful even than a forest

302
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:47.320
fire than anything else. God has given us the power of words. The

303
00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:55.320
first words are impacting us, our body, our health, our

304
00:26:55.320 --> 00:26:59.680
praise, our gratitude, what we're declaring, what we're

305
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:04.480
expecting. The declarations are either reinforcing fear, or

306
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.240
they're activating faith. Then God is faithful. Part three, he

307
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:17.000
comes in, and it says he rescues you from every trap. I really

308
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:22.400
meditated on that. Many people are in the trap of debt. The

309
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.240
debt is practically just swallowing them. It's

310
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:31.760
unmanageable. That's a trap. It's a trap set by the financial

311
00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:36.160
institutions. It's designed from the time you get out of college

312
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:41.600
to get you stuck in the debt trap. God will rescue you. When

313
00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:45.160
you submit to him, he'll give you the wisdom, and he'll rescue.

314
00:27:45.280 --> 00:27:49.520
Maybe it's bad decisions. Maybe it's the trap of wrong

315
00:27:49.520 --> 00:27:53.120
partnerships. Some of our people listening to this that are

316
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:58.760
prosper leader members got into a bad partnership. It looks

317
00:27:58.760 --> 00:28:02.080
good. This could be a bad relationship can be a bad

318
00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:07.560
business partnership. Maybe we missed an opportunity, or maybe

319
00:28:07.560 --> 00:28:11.920
we're, we're a subject to manipulation or control. He

320
00:28:12.040 --> 00:28:18.640
rescues us from every trap. Sometimes people think, I messed

321
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.480
up too much. This is saying there's no trap that God can't

322
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:28.600
redeem. He's all powerful. He's the creator of the universe.

323
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.760
Love that. Then we finish. I could have kept going. I love

324
00:28:34.760 --> 00:28:37.600
Psalms 91. We could have just kept on going and going, but I

325
00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:41.320
thought I'll stop on number four. I thought this just tells

326
00:28:41.320 --> 00:28:45.960
why. Why are we doing a new promise every single week? Why?

327
00:28:47.080 --> 00:28:51.640
It says his promises are your armor. Just think about that.

328
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:58.600
His promises are your armor. Armor is not passive. Armor is

329
00:28:58.600 --> 00:29:02.200
something that you put on. It's a choice. It's a decision. You

330
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.040
put it on. This is why we study a new promise every single week.

331
00:29:07.040 --> 00:29:10.040
I pray that this is blessing you, and you enjoy it, and you

332
00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:14.680
really keep that promise all week long. Because these

333
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:19.680
promises begin to replace the fear loops, the programming of

334
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.640
the fear loop. The promises start stabilizing our decisions.

335
00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:30.840
The promises protect our mind. Part of the armor is the helmet,

336
00:29:30.840 --> 00:29:36.400
and it protects our mind. It's the shield of faith. It's the

337
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:41.520
one that covers our heart. These promises, because one of

338
00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:46.680
the keys of victory and success in every area of your life is

339
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:54.920
learning how to move beyond. This is faith. We walk by faith

340
00:29:54.920 --> 00:30:00.040
and not by sight. It's learning to go beyond what you're

341
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.320
eyes see. So your eyes will see a diagnosis, your eyes will see a bank

342
00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:14.400
account, your eyes will see a struggle, like your eyes will see the mess. Faith

343
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:21.540
is the ability to go beyond what your eyes see and walk in a level of

344
00:30:21.540 --> 00:30:30.820
certainty that is based completely on who God is, what God said, and what these

345
00:30:30.820 --> 00:30:39.980
promises are. And so, you know, as I was taking a walk day before yesterday when

346
00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:48.700
my Facebook got shut down, that night, like, it hit me and fear wanted to take

347
00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:55.340
over because I've had my LinkedIn shut down and I never got it back. And it was

348
00:30:55.340 --> 00:31:01.940
funny, it was right after I made a video and I wrote a post and I said,

349
00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:08.820
if you relate to this post, you probably saw it, comment, build like Jesus. And the

350
00:31:08.820 --> 00:31:15.660
minute I had typed build like Jesus, I got this notification. Yeah, and I was

351
00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:21.420
like, isn't that just like the enemy, right? And it said I had 180 days to

352
00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:28.340
appeal. And I don't know that it was that or the enemy was using that. It

353
00:31:28.340 --> 00:31:32.540
could have been other things that I'm having to clean up and fix in my

354
00:31:32.540 --> 00:31:38.460
Facebook to make sure that it follows all the guidelines, which I'm doing. But

355
00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:45.420
at that moment, I've had my Facebook since 2012. And I have, I don't know,

356
00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:50.820
probably 28 groups and pages. I've got 1000s in all different places. I mean, I

357
00:31:50.820 --> 00:31:54.580
don't know, I've got at least 5000 just on my personal profile alone, not

358
00:31:54.580 --> 00:31:58.500
counting business pages and groups and everything else. So this is something I've

359
00:31:58.500 --> 00:32:05.100
built since 2012. So it could feel like a very scary loss. And it's right before

360
00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:10.380
I'm doing the build like Jesus, you know, conversation on Saturday, which is

361
00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:15.300
the main way I reach out to people and follow up people and do things. And so

362
00:32:15.300 --> 00:32:19.980
it looked for a moment that I could lose all of that. And that's how the enemy

363
00:32:20.020 --> 00:32:24.380
works. He puts a fear of loss in there. What if you lose your health? What if

364
00:32:24.380 --> 00:32:27.420
you lose your clients? What if you lose your house? What if you lose your

365
00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:34.220
income? What if you lose right? What if you lose? And so it was this type of

366
00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:44.820
certainty to say, I'm not going to react. I'm going to respond. And I'm

367
00:32:44.820 --> 00:32:50.900
going to grab my dog. We're going to go for a walk. I'm going to breathe. Pause.

368
00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:57.300
Always pause, I'm going to start with gratitude and say what a gift. You said

369
00:32:57.300 --> 00:33:02.940
you work all things together in my life for good. What's the good here that I'm

370
00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:10.780
not seeing? And this is good. I'm trusting that this is good. It will work

371
00:33:10.780 --> 00:33:19.140
for good. And so it's this declaration, you are my God. I trust you. If this

372
00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:23.140
season is over, and you don't want me on social media, I trust you. What are we

373
00:33:23.140 --> 00:33:31.260
doing next God, the willingness to surrender and not have any fear that you

374
00:33:31.260 --> 00:33:37.820
know what, like Job said, even if I lose everything, yet will I praise you.

375
00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:44.380
That's the place of total surrender that I am complete with God. I don't need God

376
00:33:44.380 --> 00:33:54.420
plus. If I have God, I have everything. And so okay, if that's supposed to go, I

377
00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:59.180
trust you. Otherwise, you'll get the wisdom and you'll work this through. He

378
00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:07.420
is my God, that declaration, I will trust. Right? And then the enemy wants to

379
00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:14.540
war with you. Get back, you know, get ready to go to bed, and anxieties coming

380
00:34:14.540 --> 00:34:19.620
up. And the first thing that hits is your desire to fix things. That's

381
00:34:19.620 --> 00:34:26.219
reactiveness. That's not leaning in. I got to fix this. Okay, what should I do?

382
00:34:26.219 --> 00:34:29.940
Should I work by text? Should I should I do by email? Should I should I work

383
00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:33.380
through my membership site? Okay, what like your brain starts going in

384
00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:41.940
overdrive to try to fix and I decided I'm not going to react. I am going to

385
00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:46.699
surrender this. I'm going to go to sleep in peace. I fell asleep listening to

386
00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:52.420
beautiful YouTube prayer and stuff and woke up at three in the morning tried to

387
00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:59.620
hit me again. Same. Then I woke up in the morning. I'm not going to go do my

388
00:34:59.620 --> 00:35:00.120
appeal.

389
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.360
yet. I'm not going to do anything until what we just saw here. I'm making sure I'm completely

390
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:15.440
dwelling. And when I sit down to write the appeal, the energy of certainty will be there. God's got

391
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:21.120
this. This is working out the way it's supposed to. And I had a double whammy yesterday. I had

392
00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:28.080
the Facebook and I had a dentist appointment that is not a good one. So it's like, what are you

393
00:35:28.080 --> 00:35:44.240
going to do? Can you move beyond your eyes and settle into this? And so that we're clothed

394
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:51.360
in these promises. If you're not clothed in these promises, if you're not dwelling in this place,

395
00:35:52.320 --> 00:36:00.160
you'll be exposed to pressure. Pressure to fix. Pressure to perform. Pressure.

396
00:36:01.520 --> 00:36:07.520
That it's on me. We take it off of him and it's on me. I got to do something.

397
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:15.920
We're reactive. Much of the problems come from reaction. I better take out a loan to pay for

398
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.520
that. I better go do this. I better quit this and do this. We get into a reactive pattern.

399
00:36:22.160 --> 00:36:28.560
Is this anybody relating to what I'm sharing or is it just me? I'll let you guys make a few

400
00:36:28.560 --> 00:36:33.920
comments and then we're going to go into prayer. Anybody relating to this?

401
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:42.000
So good. Me. Thank you, Amanda. Kim says, thank you. Jackie says, yes.

402
00:36:43.680 --> 00:36:51.360
Kim says, yes. All in capitals. Okay. Glad you guys. It's not just me. All right. Let's go into

403
00:36:52.160 --> 00:37:00.320
prayer and then we're going to have our practice. We're going to go into prayer and then we're going

404
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:14.800
to have our practice. Think about this prayer of, God, I choose to dwell and not visit.

405
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:37.760
I choose to trust and not strive. I choose to declare and not doubt. You are our refuge.

406
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:46.560
You are our safety. You are our source. You rescue us from every trap. You cover us. You

407
00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:56.400
protect us. You align us. Your promises. Right? So let's go into prayer and don't forget we're

408
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:04.640
praying for a lens surgery on the 27th for Jackie's sister, Sunny, to live where God's got

409
00:38:04.720 --> 00:38:11.120
her highest and best place to live, if it's in Ohio or if it's closer to Jackie, that she gets

410
00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:17.440
her apartment and where that's supposed to be. And Amanda, that her house sells soon.

411
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:23.200
They got a new offer. They're moving into a new place so that their current house

412
00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:31.680
sells with ease and grace. And also she's got a checkup and we just continue to declare

413
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:42.640
her healing from the CLL, the leukemia. She is the healed of the Lord. We continue to declare that.

414
00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:48.160
So keep that in your prayers all week. Let's pray it right now. Let's do what we normally do. Let's

415
00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:54.480
take turns praying and then I'll close us out and then we'll come back and talk about the practice,

416
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:59.280
the activation. Okay. Whoever wants to pray first, just go ahead.

417
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.440
Father God, I lift up Amanda to you at this very moment. I thank you for her life. I thank you for

418
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:21.280
what you are doing in and through her family, Lord. And right now we lift up the house situation,

419
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:27.360
Father, that you are sending out angels to protect her home at this time, her new one and

420
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:33.680
her old one, as she leaves it behind. We pray that things will move quickly and successfully

421
00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:40.240
with your favor just being poured out upon this family, Lord. And that you have the right family

422
00:39:40.240 --> 00:39:45.360
that you are choosing, Father, to live in this new place to make their own memories, Father.

423
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.960
And that they would feel the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit dwells in her home as well,

424
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:56.320
just not inside of them, but in their home. And so that they would know that, Father,

425
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:59.920
that that is the place for them. And I thank you, Lord.

426
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.840
for the good report that will be coming back for her health, Lord, that we're going to

427
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.720
praise you and honor you and just come back here next week and go, Oh, my goodness, look

428
00:40:09.720 --> 00:40:14.520
what you've done, because you already went ahead of her, Father.

429
00:40:14.520 --> 00:40:15.760
And so we thank you for that.

430
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:21.920
And I pray that your peace would cover her mind and that you would carry her well so

431
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:26.440
she can carry you well, Father God, as she gives you all the praise and honor and the

432
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:26.840
glory.

433
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:44.120
Dear Heavenly Father, we just thank you, Lord, for this gathering with all these amazing

434
00:40:44.120 --> 00:40:53.080
women, Lord, and just learning more about you, Heavenly Father, and surrendering everything

435
00:40:53.080 --> 00:40:58.480
to you, God, trusting you more, Lord, abiding in you, Lord, and just reminding us, God,

436
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:10.160
that you are our main source, Lord, and that take away any stress or any overwhelming or

437
00:41:10.160 --> 00:41:16.160
any fear that we have, God, because we know that is not from you, that is from the enemy.

438
00:41:16.160 --> 00:41:25.280
And we just ask you, Lord, to be with Helen on her next appointment that she has for her

439
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:30.200
surgery, for her wrist, God, and we just ask you, Lord, to heal her, Lord, put the

440
00:41:30.200 --> 00:41:36.880
right doctors to operate on the surgery with her, Heavenly Father, and just cover her,

441
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:43.160
Lord, with your comfort and your peace and with your healing afterwards, God.

442
00:41:43.160 --> 00:41:48.440
And we just ask you, Lord, to be with Jackie's sister as she is going through this transition,

443
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:53.480
Lord, of finding the right apartment, Lord, and we just ask you, Lord, to give her the

444
00:41:53.520 --> 00:42:00.520
provision, give her the clarity, give her the wisdom, Lord, of where she should live.

445
00:42:00.520 --> 00:42:05.640
And we just ask you, Lord, to give her the peace of mind, Lord, to know, God, that it is

446
00:42:05.640 --> 00:42:11.960
your will to place her in the right place where she is supposed to be, Heavenly Father.

447
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:22.640
And we just ask you, Lord, to continue to be with me with selling her house and just let

448
00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:28.280
everything go smooth and peace of mind, God, in the way that you want it to be, Lord, and

449
00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:35.320
surrender everything to you, Heavenly Father, and just get the right buyers and the right

450
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:42.840
cost for the house and just the new transition to go smooth and peaceful as well as moving

451
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:49.080
into our new home in the closing date and just everything that aligns up with your purpose,

452
00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:57.440
Lord. We just ask you, Lord, to continue to heal me in the name of Jesus with my

453
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:05.560
oncologist appointment, Lord, and just let everything go well and my white blood counts to be

454
00:43:05.560 --> 00:43:12.280
lower. And we just praise you and glorify you and advance, God, for your continuously healing,

455
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:18.280
Lord. And we just uplift the rest of these women, the rest of this week, God, let us walk

456
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:23.600
into favor in your purpose and intention. In Jesus's name. Amen.

457
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:37.240
Father God, I just thank you for this community of women here and knowing that we can abide

458
00:43:37.240 --> 00:43:43.000
and live directly in you through you and that each and every one of our lives, Father, is a

459
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:54.200
healing process, Lord. I pray for Brenda and just so thankful for the blessings that she has

460
00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:59.480
provided for each and every one of us because of her love for you, Lord. We ask that you would

461
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:08.920
cover her in every area of healing, every area of presenting of life in itself, Lord, along with

462
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:15.960
these wonderful, beautiful ladies that are dearly loved and chosen by you, Father. We just thank you

463
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:22.440
for the blessings that are coming and the new freedoms, a new level of abiding and living in

464
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:29.080
you, Father God, and just total surrender, Father God, because we know you are the shelter in every

465
00:44:29.080 --> 00:44:37.960
storm and every win in life and in every challenge, Father God, whether it be mind, body, and spirit,

466
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:45.560
Father, we just pray that you will renew us, not only renew, but replace the old, Father. Give us a

467
00:44:45.560 --> 00:44:53.480
new start, a new fresh start each and every moment of the day that we trust in you, Father. We are

468
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:59.880
thankful for the healing over each and every one of these women, Lord, in every area of their

469
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:06.400
life, Lord, for helping for her wrist, Lord, that we just pray that this surgery

470
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:12.480
upcoming, Lord, it will be masterful of the surgeons and the nurses, everyone, the

471
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:20.040
protection over that and the expedited healing, Father God, in that

472
00:45:20.040 --> 00:45:26.280
wrist area and every cell in her body, every bone from the top of her head to

473
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:34.200
the bottom of her feet. We also pray that for Amanda, Lord, that we pray that

474
00:45:34.200 --> 00:45:39.840
the results that come back would be a declaration of your mightiness in

475
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:47.640
working on her body and the healing, Father God. We pray for Jackie and her

476
00:45:47.640 --> 00:45:55.840
sister, Lord, we pray for the unity of close proximity and the anointing of

477
00:45:56.840 --> 00:46:04.880
Sonny and her heart and her discipline to honor you, Lord, and just thankful

478
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:10.000
for Jackie being part of this collaboration and community, Father, that

479
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:16.360
you are just anointing her with such peace and clarity so that she can carry

480
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.760
it through her family and generations, Lord. We're just thankful for that, Lord.

481
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:27.800
We're thankful for each and every woman that is listening maybe through Facebook

482
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:33.920
or the repeat of this, Father God. I'm thanking you, Lord, that you're giving me

483
00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:41.000
a new freedom, a new type of healing, Lord, even in the storms and that we know

484
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:48.400
that nothing that the devil has for us will bind in our surrender to you, Father

485
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:54.040
God. So we just thank you for this, for the blessing, for the surrender, Lord, in

486
00:46:54.040 --> 00:46:59.000
your holy, holy name. We just love you. Amen.

487
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:11.960
Oh, Lord, I'm so, so grateful you told us to enter your courts with praise and your

488
00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:22.400
gates with thanksgiving. So we pause to say thank you. Thank you for choosing

489
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:32.920
this group of women for this moment, for this hour, to come together in faith,

490
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:42.120
knowing that that's not only where we dwell, that's where you dwell. You inhabit

491
00:47:42.120 --> 00:47:55.040
our praises. You inhabit our prayers. When two or more are gathered, when two or

492
00:47:55.040 --> 00:48:04.680
more touch and agree, you are there and I feel your presence in this gathering. I

493
00:48:04.680 --> 00:48:12.200
feel your peace. I feel your moving. I feel and we celebrate the miracles that

494
00:48:12.200 --> 00:48:21.800
have happened and we anticipate bigger and bigger and bigger miracles that as

495
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:28.800
our light shines, you have said we are the light of the world and that it's

496
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:39.520
not to be hidden under a bushel, but it's to be placed and as our light shines, it

497
00:48:39.520 --> 00:48:45.200
touches all those around us. And so the light that is coming from this gathering

498
00:48:45.200 --> 00:48:51.120
that will carry forth into relationships and families and churches and

499
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:57.320
communities, I thank you what you're doing here. It's a seed that's been

500
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:02.400
planted in the ground that will have a mighty harvest. Thank you for women

501
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:07.880
waking up early, taking time, being willing to pray, being willing to love on

502
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:15.120
each other, being willing to build community. Thank you for your goodness.

503
00:49:15.120 --> 00:49:23.800
Thank you for your faithfulness. You are a faithful God. You are a miracle working

504
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:35.360
God. You are a healing God and I thank you for whatever healing is needed that

505
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:42.760
it's already done. So I know Michelle can't be here today, but she had shoulder

506
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:54.160
surgery. We lift her up that the healing is complete. Body, soul, and spirit that

507
00:49:54.160 --> 00:50:02.200
she feels you elevating her in her mind, elevating her

508
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:09.840
in her heart, elevating her in her body. We thank you for the miracle of Christi's healing.

509
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:17.520
We celebrate that, that as a testimony, those testimonies are seeds for even more healing.

510
00:50:17.520 --> 00:50:25.200
So I thank you for Amanda's healing. You said on the cross, by your stripes, Isaiah says,

511
00:50:25.200 --> 00:50:33.160
we have been healed. You said on the cross it is finished. So I thank you that healing

512
00:50:33.160 --> 00:50:46.240
is part of what you purchased in our redemption. I thank you that peace. I thank you for the

513
00:50:46.240 --> 00:50:57.000
healing. I thank you for Elen's wrist to be stronger, healthier, even better than before

514
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:13.840
she fell. I thank you for the continued healing of Natalie's boys, Bruce and Anthony. I thank

515
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:21.520
you for the continued support and growth for Kim's mother and the peace that you're giving

516
00:51:21.520 --> 00:51:28.400
Kim as she enters this new season and she rises to the fullness of all that you have called her to.

517
00:51:31.040 --> 00:51:36.320
I thank you, Lord. Every prosper woman is so beautiful.

518
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:45.520
Bless them, Lord. Prosper them physically, financially, spiritually, relationally.

519
00:51:47.520 --> 00:51:59.840
Bless their impact as they sow. Bless the harvest and their income as they multiply.

520
00:52:00.720 --> 00:52:09.440
Bless their joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Bless their joy, Lord, to strengthen,

521
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:21.920
to go into this season. We love you, Lord. You're so good. You're so good.

522
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:31.840
You're so good. We thank you for this and so much more. For the very gift of life

523
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:36.320
that you chose to wake us up this morning means you're not done with

524
00:52:37.120 --> 00:52:39.360
all that you want to do in and through us.

525
00:52:42.080 --> 00:52:49.680
I pray like Paul prayed in Ephesians that you will strengthen us with might in our inner

526
00:52:50.640 --> 00:53:02.240
woman. Strengthen us with might. Fear will no longer govern us. We walk by faith and not by sight.

527
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:14.080
And like what we read today, this together we declare. You are our God. In you,

528
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:26.880
in you, we fully trust. Teach us to walk in that certainty today. In Jesus name, amen.

529
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:36.720
Feeling God's presence today here in this place, you mighty women, you.

530
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:46.080
What a joy. What a joy. What a joy. Okay, let's look at our practice in the last three minutes

531
00:53:46.080 --> 00:53:54.400
here. And so I want you to think about what was in Psalms 91 and add this to your practice. And

532
00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.160
of course, it's built into the Prosper Daily Planner. I hope you guys are just using that

533
00:54:01.120 --> 00:54:07.280
to keep yourself on track. You know, Prosper Daily keeps the squirrels away, as I like to say.

534
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:17.040
So first, dwell. Just take 30 seconds. It doesn't take much. 30, 60 seconds

535
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:25.280
to just sit with your feet on the ground to breathe. Remember, we did some powerful breathing.

536
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:33.920
And just become aware of his presence. Acknowledge his presence.

537
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:40.640
Remember, we've done some breathing in the past to really dwell there. To say, you know,

538
00:54:40.640 --> 00:54:49.760
I'm in you. You're in me. We are one. To just get back into that place that we're not separate.

539
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:59.840
Okay, so dwell. Number two, like we read today, declare. Declare. So speak.

540
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:08.480
Eek Psalms 91 to out loud. He alone is my refuge. He is my

541
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.640
God. In him do I trust. Right? We, we begin to declare and

542
00:55:15.640 --> 00:55:20.640
there's a place in your in your prosper daily planner, allow

543
00:55:20.640 --> 00:55:27.280
mine that I'm currently using. And you get to put your

544
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:32.160
declarations and you also get to put what you're grateful for.

545
00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:39.040
And you get to do it says five minutes of of I am affirmations.

546
00:55:39.200 --> 00:55:45.600
So I love those. Because you're you're rewiring your nervous

547
00:55:45.600 --> 00:55:50.040
system into the identity that lines up with his word, right?

548
00:55:50.040 --> 00:55:55.880
All these things, they're rewiring you. And, and they

549
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.920
change you and done on a daily basis. You know, scripture says

550
00:56:00.080 --> 00:56:04.040
that we're transformed, like we're completely changed by the

551
00:56:04.040 --> 00:56:09.920
renewing of our mind re means do it again, and again, and again,

552
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:13.320
make new, make it new again, make it new again, make it new

553
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:17.680
again, renewing of our mind. And we're doing this, we're washing

554
00:56:17.680 --> 00:56:22.400
ourselves in the word, we're using our mouth to establish

555
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:27.640
we desire not to speak what we don't desire into life, right?

556
00:56:28.160 --> 00:56:33.640
And then so we dwell, we declare, and then even take a

557
00:56:33.640 --> 00:56:39.080
minute to put on the armor, it said today, your promises, your

558
00:56:39.080 --> 00:56:44.760
faithful promises are our armor. So choose a promise that you're

559
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:49.320
declaring Amanda over the sale of your house, right? Or Jackie

560
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:54.880
over your sister, or, you know, Kim over your business, or, you

561
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.840
know, I'm a land over your healing, like, choose a promise

562
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:05.240
that you stand on. It's like you notice when I did that walk with

563
00:57:05.240 --> 00:57:09.000
my dog, the first thing I did was Romans 828. That's one of

564
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:12.320
the promises we've learned, right? That God works every

565
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.520
single thing together for good for those who love him and are

566
00:57:15.520 --> 00:57:19.480
called according to his purpose. That's us. Okay. So I

567
00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:23.800
love him. That means everything is working together for good. So

568
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:28.920
I'm declaring that on my walk, hey, this doesn't look good. But

569
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:33.440
it is good. I'm declaring it good. Because you've said that

570
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:39.280
everything works together for good, right? And and so choose,

571
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:43.560
choose a promise for your business or your finances or, or

572
00:57:43.560 --> 00:57:48.960
your body, right? You don't have to strive for this, you

573
00:57:48.960 --> 00:57:53.200
step into it. And so this week, I want you just thinking about,

574
00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:59.480
am I having a meeting with God? Or am I dwelling? Am I becoming

575
00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:04.600
aware of his presence? Am I practicing his presence? There's

576
00:58:04.600 --> 00:58:08.560
an old old book, I don't know, maybe the 1400s or something

577
00:58:08.560 --> 00:58:12.080
written by Brother Lawrence, called Practicing the Presence.

578
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:19.400
It's a little book, old old Catholic monastery. But he just

579
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:23.080
made a habit that he would practice the presence of God. If

580
00:58:23.080 --> 00:58:26.640
he was doing dishes, he was practicing the presence of God

581
00:58:26.640 --> 00:58:29.520
while he was doing. And that's what this is really talking

582
00:58:29.520 --> 00:58:35.120
about is like, does he abide in me? Do I abide in him? Am I

583
00:58:35.120 --> 00:58:38.800
aware of the oneness? Am I aware, like David said, where

584
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:42.440
can I go that your spirit is not? That's a level of

585
00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:46.920
awareness. You see, when we lack awareness, we live separated.

586
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:53.360
But when we step into this dwelling, we come back into a

587
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:56.240
wholeness. And that's the certainty and the faith that we

588
00:58:56.240 --> 00:59:01.680
can walk in. Love you guys. See you tomorrow office hours. And

589
00:59:01.680 --> 00:59:07.520
then also remember, Saturday, I'm doing a free masterclass, a

590
00:59:07.520 --> 00:59:14.080
free conversation micro event called profit with peace build

591
00:59:14.200 --> 00:59:18.360
like Jesus. So if you haven't registered for that, be sure you

592
00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:21.960
do. It's on all my Facebook pages, you can see the link and

593
00:59:22.680 --> 00:59:26.520
we'll see you then. Lots of love. Until next time.
