Well, good morning, good morning, good morning.
Happy Monday, happy first day of a new week.
We are in day seven of the Prosper 5-7 Challenge.
Five, the number of grace, learning to give grace, to have grace on ourselves, okay?
And number five, seven, number of completion, divine completion.
So the Prosper 5-7 Challenge.
I'm so excited.
Today is a very special day in a lot of ways.
We're going to have some announcements.
What's next?
We're going to have some prizes.
I love giving stuff away.
Say wahoo if you're excited about prizes.
We've got some big prizes, some big prizes.
Bless you too.
Welcome, Yvonne.
Welcome, Ada.
So glad you're here.
And I'm waiting.
Some more people are jumping on.
I don't want them to miss even a juicy morsel.
So we have come a long way in a very short time.
We have really covered some ground, and I have just seen some amazing stuff, you guys.
You impressed me, you ladies.
You impressed me.
You did it.
And we're not done yet.
I got more surprises.
I got more announcements, but this is a good pause point on day seven.
It's a good pause point to really congratulate you.
You're showing up.
You did it.
You guys got on video, you showed up, you tried different things in different ways,
you learned new things, and it's been so wonderful.
My heart just warms just seeing the way you guys have been loving on each other and supporting
each other, the family here inside the Prosper Tribe, the family inside this challenge has
been super cool.
One of my favorite, favorite parts.
So today, I'm going to do less teaching.
I'm going to save that for tomorrow, and hint, hint, yes, that means there is a tomorrow.
I'm going to go ahead and go this week.
We've got so much to cover.
Just going through the Q&A is going to be so powerful.
These questions were so good, and you guys need to give a big, huge wahoo to Ada.
She didn't just send me one question.
I don't know if you guys saw it.
She didn't send me a couple questions.
She didn't send me a few questions.
Last checking, at the last time I checked, she sent me 10 questions.
Give Ada a huge wahoo, and I want to thank you.
That took a lot of thinking, took a lot of time to type that, and reach out, and put it there.
It's going to benefit everybody.
They're fantastic questions.
I have a feeling we're going to get through maybe one or two a day.
I think those questions are going to be lessons.
That's the way it's looking right now.
Each one I looked at, I was like, wow, okay.
These are fantastic, but they need time.
Each one of these needs an explanation, and just how to use it, and how to do it.
Super excited about sharing that.
That's what we're going to do for the rest of the week.
These questions are so good.
Again, thank you, Ada.
I love them, and yeah, you can keep them coming.
The rest of you, you can see where she posted the questions.
It's under the purple quote that I did.
Stay in that thread if you could, and if you guys have questions, let's go ahead and add
those too.
Oh, welcome, Michelle, look like Michelle just joined us.
Welcome, so glad you're here.
Again, I'm super excited.
We're going to go another week on the Prosper Challenge.
Those of you that are joining that maybe haven't had a chance to do all of it, and you felt
like you got left behind, you felt like you missed out, you can still catch up.
You really can.
Just start where you are.
I mean, isn't life like that?
We feel like we missed a boat.
We feel like we didn't do something quick enough, fast enough, good enough, but you
know what?
God always gives us ...
a new day and you can start where you are. You know your whole future starts today, right?
So do a little bit. It doesn't matter. You may not change the world in one day, but I'll
tell you what, inch by inch by inch, you're going to see such transformation. So just
scroll down. It's all here. Scroll down to the bottom. Start watching the first video.
Start taking the first action. Let that take you to the next level. For those of you who
have been here every day, I really celebrate you. I really congratulate you and wow did
I see improvement. With each time you showed up, you got better. You got more confident.
You just, it's amazing. I mean I'm so excited for you and I'm so excited. Imagine if that's
what we did in one week. Imagine what we're going to do in yet another week. So if you're
expecting great things, put a little message, expecting great things. I know I am. I am
expecting great things. I'm expecting miracles. I have so many things to share with you over
the next coming seven days. I mean this easily could have been a 30 day challenge, but we're
going to at least, we're going to do two. We're going to do two. Two weeks. Alright,
the purpose of today is really fun. Okay? Powerful, potent, fun. We're going to do a
combination of two things. We're going to agree in prayer. Okay? So I'm going to dedicate
part of this to prayer. We got a lot going on and yay, Michelle's expecting great things.
You know, someone texted me this morning and they said, you know, I've never seen it as
clearly as I see it right now. We're in a battle. Good versus evil. We're, we're in
a battle light versus dark. And, um, it's really important how we choose to show up
in all of this. You know, we're talking about showing up and letting God show out. That
was the whole purpose of this. So let's put it in context. I mean, there's so much going
on. There's injustice, there's pain, there's suffering. There is, there's so much going
on. So in the context of everything going on and in the context of the prosper five
seven challenge, which is about showing up and letting God show out, let's touch and
agree in prayer. The way we can show up. I've been listening every morning to the song and
if you haven't heard it, look it up. This is how I fight my battles. This is how I fight
my battles. We fight these battles in prayer. We fight these battles in worship. We fight
these battles by showing up as light. We fight these battles by showing up as love. I mean,
we fight these battles by bringing the presence of God into every situation. And yes, every
text, every post, every video that you do is an opportunity to bring hope. It's an opportunity.
So when people send me, you know, disturbing, you know, news, I immediately, Lord, what
can we do here? How can we be part of the solution? I'm not going to get caught up in
the craziness. How can we pray through this? How can we love through this? How can we be
light through this? How can we be the change that we want to see without being cliche?
Okay? So we're going to start with prayer and then right after the prayer, I'm giving
away some prizes. Since we're on day seven, I know we're going to go another week, but
this is finishing out the first week. I got some prizes and I just got to give them away.
They're big prizes. They're juicy prizes. I just got to give them away. Again, those
of you guys that haven't done the whole challenge, pick up where you are right now. Start where
you are. You can still catch up. You still catch up. So let's start with prayer. And
I guess I can't ask you guys to pray because you're not on the mic. So I'll do the prayer
and you guys can be just chatting and adding to the prayer, you know, just add your touch
and agree, you know, join in. All right. So Father, I just thank you for this time. I
thank you for these women gathering, these powerful, powerful women that love you and
carry you. And Lord, you've said when two or more gathered in your name that you are
present. So Lord, we need your presence more than we need anything more than we need oxygen.
We need your presence. Let your presence just fill our minds and our hearts.
Let your presence fill our homes. Let your presence cover this nation Lord God may there be a new awakening
Father God may they be revival in the land. You've said if we'll humble ourselves
And if we'll seek your face
That you will forgive us and you will heal our land
Lord God, there's so much pain. There's so much fear. There's so much confusion. There's so much anger
There's the emotions are the whole gamut
father God
We pray for those who have been hurt
we pray for those who have at the families of of those who have been affected by
injustice and and and racism and
So much fear father God
Generational curses we break it in Jesus name
Let your mercy come like a flood
Wash over our land father God let them turn and see you let them seek your face father God I
Just pray for a mighty move father God work
We're here learning how to show up and let you show out. So father God, I pray you embolden us
I pray you encourage us. I pray you put courage on the inside that will boldly step forward not to divide father
God but to bring together your last prayer
before you left earth
Your last prayer was that we wouldn't be divided but that we would be one your prayer was to the father father
Let them be one even as we are one I and them you and me father God
May we understand that we are one?
May this separation be broken in Jesus name
May the fiery darts of the enemy fall lifeless to the ground in Jesus name
May love arise may hope arise may victory arise
May the church the body of Christ may it arise with love
May it break the yoke
May it fight against injustice
You've told us to do good and love mercy and walk humbly with you Lord
God help us to do good. Love mercy and walk humbly with you
We ask it in the mighty mighty name of Jesus use us here. We are
Here we are we offer our hands
Right through us. We offer our mouths speak through us. We offer our hearts love through us
We ask it in the mighty name of Jesus
Amen, amen
Amen
Okay, whoo
Guys
We're in a battle we're in a battle and I rarely say that because I don't even like the metaphor of battle
But I focus on being the light and I ask every single day how how can I be light?
How can I be love in this situation? You know, you've heard the pen is mightier than the sword
We have the gift of social media
You can get the word to the ends of the earth. You can spread love to the ends of the earth
Do you think this challenge fell during this season by accident?
There are no
Coincidences, I love what Ada said a coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous
Do you think God called you to a show up so that he can show out challenge?
During one of the craziest times on earth for no reason
You're being trained up. God brought you here for a purpose. You're being trained up
