to go. All right, welcome, welcome, welcome. I, man, you do not know how excited I am, how my
spirit is just jumping inside of me. Welcome, those of you on Zoom, those of you in the Facebook,
the Prosper Women group. This is a big day. This is day one of the Scaled Up series.
Now, the word scale comes from mountain climbing, and it's about getting to the very top of the
mountain. It's about getting to the pinnacle. And so I love the word scaled up because what
we're talking about is scaling up not just your business, but scaling up your life.
And so I was sharing earlier, this is not information, this is transformation.
What God has been revealing to me is that this is a journey. This is a biblical, an epic
biblical, where we share the scripture, the science, the strategy. It's a biblical hero's
journey. If you look at all great people in history, and certainly all the people in the
history through scripture, there's a journey. There is a journey of moving from the ordinary
life and moving into the extraordinary life and everything that happens in between.
So we're going to be moving from what's very ordinary out there right now, which is burnout,
which is striving, which is sacrificing, which is soul tired. That's a word that God has
been giving me. Any of you really relate when I say that? Soul tired. Type it in the chat.
It's the kind of tired that you don't sleep off, right? And so we're moving from that. We're
taking a journey every single day built on the next day. And so it is a step-by-step
transformational journey that we're going on. And so you're not going to want to miss a single day.
Of course, joining live is best. I see your comments and I'm able to answer that, build that
into future, and you just get more. Being live, the group, the collective energy is so powerful.
But if you can't, if you have to miss any of the days, I made a rocking VIP offer for you.
So the VIP offer lets you get all the replays and a month in the Prosper Leader Membership.
Now the Prosper Leader Membership is going to take you from where you are here
into a powerful community and give you all access to all my resources. So check that out.
All right. You should also have a study guide. All right. Maybe, Linda, if you could put those
two things in. We need the study guide in case any of you don't have it. You're going to want
to be taking notes and truly digging into that. So make sure you download the study guide
and the VIP option. If you didn't catch that, it's like $197 value plus.
So it's the way you can really go over this over and over again. So I am going to start with prayer
because that is so powerful. And then we're going to go step by step. We're laying the foundation.
Today is the absolute foundation. It's the foundation that completely changed my life.
And that was learning to partner with God in business. It is about doing business a whole
different way. It's moving from the grind to incredible grace. It's moving from striving to
experiencing miracles in the marketplace. And so I'm so excited to lay this foundation with you
today. This is the big foundation that we build on. And so we go from partnering with God in
business today. And then we really get into the shifts that we make in our thinking. Because
the thinking that you have now got you the results where you are right now. So we're going to go
again through the scripture, the science, the strategy to renew our mind. And so once we've
partnered with God, I'm telling you this is a journey. And we've renewed our mind with some
totally new thinking. You're going to get some totally refreshing, renewing ways of looking at
your life and your business. I promise. We're going to go to learning how to activate the flow.
Too many of us are constipated, coagulated, spiritually, physically, emotionally. You're
going to really learn how do you do that? How do you open the flow? And then that all builds to
where day four, we get into the meat. How do you scale?
How do you simplify? How do you scale?
Because this is the most important time.
Those of you that are listening live, we're wrapping up a year.
And what you're doing right now is laying the foundation for the new year.
These changes, you can completely change your finances.
You can completely change your health.
You can completely change in 2025.
We're going to give you the steps.
And then, of course, we're doing a bonus masterclass on Saturday, a two-hour.
And that's where we just go deep into you discovering your divine purpose, your divine identity.
So, I want to hear in the chat and in the Facebook group,
if this is your first time to attend one of these series with me,
put first time, I just want to celebrate that with you.
And if you're a repeat, I want to know how many times have you attended?
Okay. Love it. Welcome. Congratulations. First time.
Okay. More first times. Welcome, Sue. Welcome, Azina. I love that.
Welcome, Danielle. So cool. Welcome, Hannah.
Oh, you are in for such a treat. Okay. Wow.
Welcome. Lots of new people. So glad that you're here.
And so, as a new person and as a returning person,
I want you to come from a place of intention.
What is it that you really want to shift?
What is your intention? What do you want to glean from this?
Because that's the most powerful thing you can do.
All right. Let me pray. Let's jump right in. There's a lot to cover.
Father, I just ask that you just bless every single person listening live,
listening in the Facebook group, listening to a replay.
I'm asking that this will be the day.
This will be the moment that transformation starts,
that their biblical heroes journey starts,
that they move from striving and sacrificing and grinding it out.
And they move, Lord,
to partnering with you and experiencing miracles in the marketplace.
I just ask that you speak through my mouth.
I ask that you open our spiritual ears to hear everything you have to say.
And I ask in Jesus name. Amen.
Welcome back. Those of you who are saying that you're coming back,
it's always all new content. You know what? The concepts,
the foundation is the same, but God just downloads every single time,
brand new stuff. So here's the situation.
How many of you have noticed that there's an absolute change in the market?
There is. You can put change in the chat. It's massive.
I think in all my time in business,
other than maybe going through the pandemic initially,
I've never seen such a change in the market.
So it's so important that when we come in,
we're coming in from a place of not just repeating the old,
because the old is no longer working. We're in a trust recession.
The old is not working.
And so what you're going to learn today is the foundation.
And this week's a foundation for creating a completely different 2025.
And also how many of you feel a change inside of yourself?
Say me like,
like you just know that there's gotta be a better way.
There's gotta be a different way of doing it because you're starting to
realize I can't sustain this. I can't sustain this pace.
I can't sustain, you know, all of this sacrificing,
I'm sacrificing sleep. I'm sacrificing my health.
I'm sacrificing relationships. I'm sacrificing time, you know,
with loved ones. How many of you am I talking to?
You know what, what I'm talking about.
And so this is my passion of showing you it doesn't have to be this way.
And I've lived it and I've seen countless people change by the way.
Since there's so many new, I haven't even introduced myself. Forgive me.
My name is Brenda and I'm founder of prosper in all things.
And since 2012,
I have been a coach to coaches and it is about building a profitable.
I love creating profit going from no clients to clients,
no profits to profits. It's about building a profitable,
but also a faith integrated business.
It is about total soul prosperity.
The name of my company prosper and all things comes from third John too.
It's a promise.
It's a prayer that you prosper physically, emotionally,
relationally, spiritually. This is my passion.
Before that I was a founder of a multi seven figure business.
I have been a serial entrepreneur building multi seven figure companies for
decades. And so I love bringing.
Not only the seasoned experience, but also I'm so in tune with what's happening right now and bringing that to you.
And so, what we're going to look at today, we're going to look at some of the lies.
This is a mindset first.
We're going to look at some of the lies that have you in this place of burnout.
Do you know that 28% of people working in jobs are experiencing burnout regularly?
And that for you entrepreneurs, it's even higher than that.
Did you know that?
Did you know that when you are in this burnout, this state of striving and stressing, you have a 33% higher chance of having a stroke?
So, we're talking about saving relationships.
We're talking about preserving your health.
But most of all, we're talking about the joy of what's possible when we team up with the one who created heaven and earth.
To understand the joy of the Lord is your strength.
To understand that you can have all access to wisdom.
That you can have access to knowledge that you could never have.
We're going to talk about miracles in the marketplace.
And so, this thing I'm going to be teaching you about partnering with God.
When we look at the science and we look at the statistics, I did a lot of research for this one.
Do you know that just by incorporating prayer and meditation, just a small change, that you become a prayer warrior.
You start praying every day.
And I'm going to talk about a powerful morning routine.
Do you know that you greatly increase in your problem-solving ability?
Science shows it.
Do you know that your creativity multiplies exponentially?
You know, there's a powerful verse in Exodus 31 where the spirit of God fell and it says that their creativity just went through the roof.
I mean, their craftsmanship and what they were doing.
And here's a little history fact.
I want you to think about this as you think about your own history.
This is really amazing.
Do you know, for many years, the word of God was not available to the common man.
It was reserved for the priests.
It was not in the English language.
When it became available to the common man, when Gutenberg put out the printing press and the Bible got to the common person, do you know what happened?
We experienced the Renaissance.
The greatest history of literature, the greatest history of art, the greatest history of music and drama.
Because this is what happens when we partner with the creator of the universe.
We rise in creativity.
We don't have to just follow someone else.
We don't have to be stuck.
And so, what is possible for you is so profound.
And so, when we tap into the mind of Christ, do you know that just by prayer alone, you lower your cortisol level, your stress hormone, by 23%?
Who's ready for that?
Say me.
So, while we're talking about, this is not small.
This is about the difference between you having a heart attack or a stroke, you know, about stress hormones flooding your body.
This is about the difference of you experiencing miracles or just grinding it out.
I mean, this is so, so big.
And that's why I'm dedicating a whole week.
Because it's so, so big.
So, I want you to look on your study guide.
And I want you to see which of these is true for you.
Okay?
So, there's a reflection on page one.
And it says, which of these have you bought into?
Number one, were you taught the lie that you're supposed to keep your spiritual life and your spiritual life separate?
Like your work life and your spiritual life separate.
Who was taught that lie that you separate your spiritual life and your work?
Number one.
You can put one in the comment.
Number two.
That church.
If you could just work for the church, if you could just be in ministry, that's sacred.
Work, that's just something you have to do.
That's the curse.
It's secular.
Any of you bought into lie number two?
Check it off.
Number three.
How many of you bought into the lie that if you're doing spiritual work, and I, I mean, I was taught this so much.
Because I was crazy.
I mean, when I started Prosper and All Things, my first event, live event in a resort to the public, was God, money, and money.
me. Like you don't even put those words together back then in 2012, right? And people, man, I mean,
everybody was mad at me, right? The Christians were mad because I was charging and the secular
were mad because I was bringing God and, you know, all of this in there. Any of you can relate that
you've got this guilt that's keeping you bound. It's like cement at your ankles that like, if you
do something spiritual, then you shouldn't charge or profit, okay? Really interesting lie, right?
And, you know, the interesting line on number one about keeping your spiritual and your work,
do you know how many people have come to me on LinkedIn and said, thank you? Thank you that you
share your faith publicly on LinkedIn. I'm realizing I can do the same thing. I've always wanted to,
but I was scared, right? So not only are you setting yourself free, but you're clearing a
pathway for your sisters to step into, you know, the fullness of what God has for you. And number
four, how many of you were taught that business is less spiritual than ministry? And so you're
doing a less spiritual thing. So put in their number. Was it number one, two, three, four,
which of these lies have you bought into? I'm so curious. Did you buy into number one, number two,
number three, number four, all of them? You see, scripture says that the truth sets us free.
So we're going to be about breaking the lies and we're going to be bringing in the truth that's
going to set you free. Okay. So in your notes, prosperous shift, number one, prosperous shift,
number one is a fresh perspective of business and also of life. Okay. What do I mean? It's the end
of fragmentation. It's the end of fragmentation. So I don't know how many of you can relate
to living five lives. We're like a cat, like seven lives, but all in the same life, right?
We're so fragmented. We're one way Monday through Friday at work. We're another way, you know,
at night at home. We're another way, you know, Saturday night. We're another way how we show up
Sunday morning. Any of you relate, right? And so it's this fragmented. And, you know,
one of the challenges, and I'll be teaching this as we go further on simplifying and scaling,
is our belief that we can multitask. We are just like juggling like crazy. And the truth is you
can't multitask. You can switch between a lot of tasks. You can't do two tasks at once. You can,
if one of them is on the background, like you can walk and talk because you're not really
focusing on the walking. And that's why you might trip or run into something or forget where you
are or whatever, but you can only have one in the foreground. And so what we're really doing,
like we're juggling a ball, is actually it's just a series of movements. And we're changing back and
forth and back and forth and back and forth. And we're living a frenetic pace that is exhausting
us and, you know, frying our brain and not getting the results. But not only are we multitasking,
I wrote this today, we're like multi-being. We're like trying to be all these different
people. And this is why we feel so tired because we're just fragmented. So what's the truth?
The first thing I love is sharing this truth because it's just so life-changing to see
the scripture, to see how God views this. And so the truth, and you can write this in your notes,
is a Hebrew word and it's called avodah. It's A-V as in Victor, O-D-A-H, avodah. It's a Hebrew
word, A-V as in Victor, A, I'm sorry, O-D-A-H, avodah. So what's so cool about this is that this
one word, avodah, in the original language of the scriptures, it means work. It also means serve.
It also means worship. In other words, in God's eyes, it's one and the same work and worship
and serving. It's all in one. And so I showed you some places that that word is used in scripture,
Exodus 34, six days shall you work, avodah. Then Exodus 8-1, this is what the Lord says,
let my people go so they may worship, avodah.
And then Joshua 2, Joshua 24, 15,
but as for me and my household,
we will serve the Lord.
So what this does is it breaks the lie
that you've been told that is not scriptural,
that is not scientific, that is not healthy,
that is keeping you bound,
that you have to live this fragmented life.
So the beauty that's gonna happen,
the peace, the joy that's gonna happen
as you go through this series,
as you collect all your pieces
that have been trying to multi-life,
not just multitask, but multi-be,
you're gonna bring it together.
And there's a freedom in that
that releases peace and joy and miracles.
And this is what I've seen
as I've been teaching this and teaching this.
And so that's lie number one.
Lie number two that we've bought into,
and I was taught this,
I don't know how many of you were taught this,
and it's that if it's to be, it's up to me.
In other words, you were taught to rely on your own strength.
You know, my dad used to wake me up at oh dark 30
and say, you can't make any money when you're sleeping.
I wasn't making any money.
I was seven years old, you know?
But this is the programming that we get
that you gotta drive.
How many of you were taught
you gotta work harder than everyone else?
You gotta outperform everyone else.
You gotta be, you know,
how many of you bought into that lie?
Say me, how many of you bought into that lie?
And so what happens,
and there's a place for you to reflect,
is I want you to look at two things.
Number one,
who or what is running you?
You're being driven by a program.
Much as we hate to say it,
you're being driven by a story.
And what I wanna know is what's driving you.
Is it lack?
Is it fear?
Is it a combination of those
that if I don't keep grinding,
I'm gonna run out of money and I might be homeless
and I might not be able to pay my bills
and I might not be able to send my kids to school
and I may not be able to have medical care
and I don't know how I'm gonna retire if I don't grind.
Any of you have bought into lack.
It's a lie.
Scripture says you will never lack, never lack.
Scripture says my God will supply all your needs
according to his riches.
Now, I'm not saying that we're not called to be excellent
in the marketplace, that we're not called to add value.
You're gonna learn how to do that,
that we're not called to serve.
We are.
The question is, where are you coming from?
Are you coming from the abundant knowledge
that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit,
that God is in you, that you have the mind of Christ,
that you have access to all wisdom, all knowledge,
all power, all resources?
Are you coming from that place of rivers of living water
flow out of my belly?
Or are you coming from a place of fear?
Fear is not of the Lord.
God is love and perfect love casts out fear.
So to break through these lies, we have to get real.
We've got to have a moment of sobriety
and go what has been driving me
and if what has been driving you is causing angst
and exhaustion, it's lie-based.
It's lie-based and the sun has come to set you free.
And so there's a place for you to reflect
on what stories you've been telling yourself.
And then the prosperous shift that goes with this
is understanding the power, the freedom,
the joy of spirit-driven success, spirit-driven success.
I had an encounter with God that rocked my world
in actually in 2004, so we're talking two decades
that God has been revealing and unveiling
and teaching me this and having me teach this
and having me transform and having me teach entrepreneurs
that there is a different way
that you can prosper completely in every way,
physically, financially, relationally,
that there's a different way to do this, right?
And so in 2004, I was a founder
of a multi-seven figure company.
I was getting ready to speak in San Francisco
and it was a 4th of July.
I remember like it was yesterday and I thought, well, I'll just kind of sneak out and go in my office and kind of look at my talk one final time.
I used to send it to an editor, get everything ready before I go.
And I walk in the office and the Holy Spirit speaks to me and he says, we're not doing that right now.
Pull down your Bible.
And so I pulled my Bible down off the shelf and he says, I want you to open to first Corinthians chapters 12 through 14.
And so I open these these chapters and it was as if God put like Holy Spirit glasses on me.
I started reading it. It was as if I'd never seen it.
And I got to tell you, I've loved the Lord since I was 17 years old with all my heart.
I've been someone that's been in the word. I've been like like it was not new to me.
Like I'd never opened the Bible before, but it was as if I opened it for the very first time.
And I still remember looking at it in the conversation I had with God.
Maybe some of you have had conversations with God.
I read it and it was talking about miracles and it was talking about prophesying and it was talking about healing.
And it was just talking about all these things that actually I had been taught ended at the cross,
that none of that existed anymore, that we didn't need that anymore, that all we needed was the Bible.
And so I read that and it's like I was seeing it for the first time.
It was like just jumping out at me and my heart was pounding.
And I said, God, that's not what I was taught.
And the Lord said, read it again. And so I read it again and I was like, but God, that's not what I was taught.
I was taught if someone's doing miracles, you should run. They're a false prophet.
You should be scared. I was taught, you know, and I said, that's not what I was taught.
And the Lord said, read it again.
And the third time something broke in me and I just looked at it and there was a hunger.
There was a holy hunger in my soul.
You see, I had been that person striving, grinding all my life.
I was that perfectionist and here I was.
Yes, I had a seven figure, multi seven figure company.
I was working every single day, burning the candle, traveling on the weekends,
on top of juggling homeschool and running a foundation.
I was so tired. I never took a day off.
I was sacrificing sleep. I was up at 430 in the morning.
I was taught you outwork everyone.
And something broke in me that day when I opened that word and my life has never been the same.
I looked at it and I said, I want it Lord.
I want that. I desire that. Okay. Okay.
I had never heard this in a church. I had never been taught it.
I didn't have anyone to even understand what happened.
And from that day on, everything changed.
I began to learn that, that God, we have the mind of Christ and that,
and that what it says in your notes that God has moved us from religion to relationship.
And, and John 15, 15, where he says, I've not called you a servant.
Stop acting like a servant because they don't understand what the master is doing.
I call you my most intimate, cherished friends. Why?
Because I reveal to you everything. I began to have understanding of business, understanding of people.
I began to have a fresh view. John 10, 27 says, my, my sheep hear my voice.
And the voice of another, they will not follow.
And the biggest promise in James one, that if you lack wisdom, if you lack wisdom, let them ask of God who gives abundantly.
And I've got to tell you that everything changed.
I had a staff that went from dry. I mean, my main office manager was agnostic to filled and fueled on fire.
They were asking customers calling in if they needed prayer. We didn't tell them to do that.
They were putting a memo board in the lunchroom, writing down prayers and prayers answered and woohooing and celebrating.
God had me start a Bible based spiritual equipping in my little office from my staff that suddenly expanded to the community.
Suddenly people were calling in from the Philippines.
I had people that didn't want their products mailed anymore.
I had a nutritional network marketing company. They wanted to come in if they could.
and they wanted prayer, and they came,
and what was the small conference room
became a healing room.
There was so many miracles in there,
that conference room became known as the healing room.
And there was so much love and peace and joy in that place
that the tree outside the healing room
suddenly started blossoming pink blossoms,
not just on the limbs of the tree,
all the way down the trunk, all the way down to the roots.
And everything began to change,
divine appointment, countries opened up.
I was invited to like presidents of countries.
I mean, like divine appointments
are one of the most amazing miracles that exist.
You don't have to grind out prospecting, God will bring you.
And so there was so much that happened.
And when I launched this company, Prosper in All Things,
I have been teaching this,
and I have been watching transformation
that just puts the hugest smile on my face.
And I think about some of the stories,
and even some of the testimonies, even from these series,
one person that was just grinding it out,
like to the point of absolute exhaustion,
I can't even remember, she had so many kids,
I can't even count them on top of
running multiple businesses on top of going to school
and new relationship and everything.
And she said, thank you, thank you, exclamation point.
I'm looking at what she sent me.
She said, things have been kind of wild for me lately,
meaning she started entering into the miracle zone, right?
And she said, things have been kind of wild for me lately.
She says, ever since I stopped striving,
I've been flooded with opportunities,
like the doors that open that when God opens a door,
and she says, and what was so funny, she says,
I didn't know I shouldn't be striving
until I attended your event.
And so a new way of thinking opens new doors.
And I had some people,
will some people be offended as you do this?
Yes, yes, because it's a new way of thinking
and it challenges an old way of thinking.
And if you can have the courage,
if you can have the courage to unhitch
both from the praise of people and the criticism of people
and just stay true, I promise you things will come around.
I had leaders of Christian ministries tell me
that I shouldn't be charging
because I was sharing the gospel
and I'm charging too much.
And I got messaged back to her and I said,
I'm not in the business of lowering my prices.
I'm in the business of raising yours.
And do you know, she came to me
and I did an intensive with her.
She said she learned more
in that one day breakthrough intensive,
things she'd been trying to figure out for six years.
Well, I've been her coach for a lot of years.
She opened a women's network all over
and we've been working on her prices
and things have just completely changed.
So I'm telling you that even the critics will come around,
be true to you, be true to your faith,
be true to letting God
like activate what I'm sharing with you today.
And so, all of this requires scripture
and it requires strategy.
And I'm about both.
I'm not just about theory, but I'm about strategy.
And so, I will be doing this with you.
I will be sharing strategy all week,
but I also am offering free calls with me
where we really look at the strategy for you
to build a profitable faith integrated business.
So I'm gonna give you my schedule gets super full.
I'm giving you first shot at it, Linda.
If you can schedule a call with me,
if you're ready to make 2025 different,
you're ready to do things differently,
let's talk about how.
Let's build in the strategy, schedule a call with me.
So I began to see the changes in my staff.
I began to see the changes in my office.
I have seen the changes in the coaches,
the miracle provision, the miracle provision.
I had one person that attended one of these things
and she was so stressed
about having a huge student loan for her kids.
And she heard what I shared in this.
And she heard about God being source.
And she went to bed at night filled with angst
and she released it.
to God. And she said, God, if what Brenda is sharing is true,
help me with this. Help me with the provision. And do you know
that when she got ahold of the student loan people, and you'll
show us a testimony from Antoinette. Do you know I need
you to mute, please. I hear background noise. Please mute.
Please mute. Linda, can you see who needs to be muted? Thank
you. So, so the beautiful thing, um, do you know what
happened to Antoinette? She got ahold and you know, her entire
student loan, it showed paid in full. There was no way. Wow.
There was no way that that could happen. She says, No, I saw the
bill. I know how much I owe. Maybe some of you are
struggling with debt. Do you know the Lord wiped it clear
right here from a result of this series? This is why I say
you want to stick around every single day. I completely
changed her life. Do you know she went from having no clients
we met, I began to coach her, she began to get clients
immediately. She went from struggling on social media to
now being asked to speak on podcasts to having her own
events. I'm telling you, God can turn all of this around. So in
your notes for home study, I want you to look at some things.
There is the mega miracle blockers. What's kept you from
experiencing these miracles. I want you to study these, look
at the scriptures, do some journaling. Okay. Number one is
doubt and unbelief. Do you know that Mark six verses five
through seven says Jesus, Jesus, the miracle worker, Jesus, the
son of God, it says he could not do miracles in this particular
town, because of their unbelief, except he laid his
hands on a few sick people, but that's it. They missed out on
all the miracles because of their unbelief. So we're gonna
we're gonna activate faith over this week, I'm going to share a
lot of stories to stir up your faith, we're called to stir up
faith in one another's. And I want you to be sharing what's
happening for you. Okay, love the question there. In what
ways do we respond to criticism? That's a great question. I will
bring that into teaching. What I'm going to tell you today is
you have to unhitch, you can't be moved, like a trailer
unhitches, you can't be moved by praise or criticism. I'll tell
you some very productive ways to handle it. But right now, to get
out of this, we've got to get past doubt and unbelief. And
we've got to activate our faith, I pray something I'm
sharing with you today is stirring up within you, the
desire to do things different, it's stirring up your faith,
like what could happen if I experienced miracles in the
marketplace? What could happen if I had access to wisdom? What
could happen if I had supernatural strategies, not
just what the gurus are teaching, but like a divine
blueprint, like downloads, like supernatural strategies, what
could happen? And so, you know, in Mark nine, in your notes,
Mark 9, 23, and 24, Jesus said, You say to me, if you can, and I
say, all things are possible, for the one who believes and
trusts in me. And immediately the father of the boy cried out
with a desperate cry saying, I do believe, help me overcome my
unbelief, you can do the same thing. Do it to the Lord, say
the same thing, Lord, I've been operating in fear. Help me
replace that with love based thinking, we're going to teach
you how this week, you can say, Lord, I've been buying into the
belief in lack, which is an illusion, you've said that,
that never have the righteous been forsaken or begging for
bread, that you will not lack a single thing, you will be able
to say, like David, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack,
you can make that declaration, right, by activating your
God-given ability to choose. And, you know, another blocker
is fear and worry. So we're going to talk about that,
because both faith and fear attract. This week, we're going
to talk about how to move away from that fear, using our
God-given ability to choose. So let me give you a few
strategies to begin to implement what we're talking about today
to really activate this dimension of your life. Okay,
I'm going to say number one, that
God has given us the ability to choose.
And I would say an act of surrender,
where you literally say,
God, I surrender being the main CEO of my company.
I surrender being in the driver's seat,
thinking it's up to me,
doing it all in my own strength, in my own way.
And I invite you to be my CEO.
I invite you.
That invitation is the most powerful one you can make.
I invite you to teach me how to do this differently.
I invite you to be my CEO.
I wanna partner with you.
I wanna do it differently.
I wanna move from the grind to the grace.
I wanna move from the striving to the wisdom,
to the provision, right?
And so you make a choice.
I would even say a decision.
Decision is different than choice.
The word decide, anything side means to kill off, right?
Emphasize, you know,
pesticide, herbicide means to kill off.
When you decide, you cut off other options.
So you decide today, I'm no longer doing this by myself.
This is the day I draw a line in the sand
that I'm gonna build my business in partnership with God.
I'm gonna break free from the belief in lack,
the fear that has driven me, the angst that has driven me.
And I'm ready.
I'm ready, Lord,
to build a profitable faith integrated business.
And then probably the biggest change
is that you give the first fruit to God.
And that starts with the first fruit of the morning.
From the time that you open your eyes,
instead of thinking about your busy schedule
and all the things and starting your to-do list,
instead of thinking lack, I lack sleep,
I lack money, I lack time,
I lack, you know, instead of like, we're gonna rewire.
And so from the time you open your eyes,
you're gonna start a little gratitude moment
before you even get out of bed.
Thank you, God, that you chose to wake me up.
Thank you, God, my lungs are breathing.
My heart is beating.
Look around yourself, whatever it is.
Thank you, God, for this bed.
I love my bed.
I like using the word love.
I love my bed.
I love my pillow.
I love my blankets.
I love my dog sleeping next to me.
I love looking out the window at the beautiful scenery
I see out the window.
I love, you know, and you just start going through.
I love my clients.
I love being able to be in business.
I love that we have, you know, whatever it is,
like, start.
And then first fruit
is to have a morning spiritual practice.
Now I've got a lot of tools to teach you how to do that.
I've got tools to teach you how to journal successfully.
I've got tools, but start with just some basics.
Like, even if you're only reading a sentence or two,
a paragraph, start with baby steps, okay?
You don't have to do a full hour.
I believe so strongly in that.
But just start where you are.
If you're not familiar with scripture,
I really, really, really, for new people,
like something called the Passion Translation
because it's just so rich in God's love.
And it's just going to break the spirit of religion on you,
the spirit of fear.
And so just open anywhere in the Passion Translation
and God will speak to you, I promise.
Scripture says that faith, we want to stir up.
You have a gift of faith.
Everybody's been given a measure of faith,
but it says faith comes by hearing
and hearing by the word of God.
So if you can start your morning with some prayer,
that prayer of surrender,
that prayer of inviting the Holy Spirit
to give you wisdom and guide you,
if you can start by building some word into your life,
like everything changes.
You know, the word repent in scripture is so powerful.
It's not fire and brimstone.
The word repent means make a U-turn,
make a spiritual U-turn.
I was going the way of the striving and the stressing
and the grinding and the fear,
and I'm going to choose the way of partnering with God
in miracles and grace and trust and surrender.
It's a U-turn, it's a spiritual U-turn, right?
And then this is the key,
is beginning to learn to hear the voice of God.
Nothing is more important.
Scripture is just replete.
God has always spoken to people.
In the Old Testament, it was to prophets,
to specific people for a reason and a season.
In the New Testament,
scripture says that he speaks to all of us.
And I read you those verses.
Begin to learn to still.
Be still and know that I'm God and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to you now one of my favorite practices
I want to be real practical things you can do is to I use gel pens
I use two colors of gel pen and I journal as part of my morning spiritual practice and this is the most powerful
I've taught this to all my clients is that in pink I write out like my questions to God
I write out my thanks and my praise, but I say
God what do you want me to know and understand about this?
It can be about a client. It can be about your business. It can be about
Resources it can be like ask the Lord. What do you want me to know teach me about this?
you ask the Lord questions in one color pen and then I change pens and
By faith, I just allow my hand to start writing and you'll get better and better at this when I first started
I would hear like God would just say Brenda or my dearest Brenda and I would just write don't judge it
Don't read it. Just start writing and just write and write and write and don't judge it. Just let what comes through you
This is such a powerful. I've taught so many people this okay, and and as you do this
The real key is when it when it kind of stops say is there more Lord because often there'll be another gush
But when you get to where you're done if you want you can read it
But what I recommend is just set it aside and about a week later read it again
You'll see that it was exactly what you needed and and really fun about a month later a quarter later
Read it again. And then at the end of the year go back. I go back and look at all the purple
I'm like, wow, God was teaching me all along. He was imparting exactly what I needed all along
And he's no respecter of persons what he does for me
He will do for you as you surrender and you say God my life is yours
My mind is yours. My heart is yours. My business is yours. My family is yours. My you know, all of it
My finances are yours. I
promise that God will do this I want to close with a scripture and then with a with a prayer and
I would I would love I love your questions like the question about criticism. We're gonna address that
I'll probably pop a lot of the answers to these over in the prosper women Facebook group
So we'll have that conversation. Don't be surprised if you see even a teaching on that
I love what you ask me because I'm doing this for you and it's so important you get what you need to fully step into
Building a profitable and I'm gonna repeat that again. Okay a
Profitable faith
integrated business
That you can experience total soul
Prosperity who is ready for that? Who's picking up? I want to know put in the comments who's picking up what I'm putting down
Who is really?
Feeling the Holy Spirit speak to you about how your life can be different in
2025 I am I love this. I do this practice for now. I'm so God and God is actively
engaged, okay
Wonderful. Keep doing it. All right, Kathleen Peggy. Yes, Kate. So good. All right, let me read this scripture
Susan I am new take on the established practice. Wonderful. Let's mix up your morning spiritual practices to get more power. Love it
Thank you. Thank you for being here
All right, Susan's had all kinds of miracles joining these series all kinds of major things are happening
Okay, let me read this is from first Kings 3 9 and it says it's a prayer
From the wisest King in history just feel this prayer. Maybe you can relate to this prayer
Maybe you can make this prayer your prayer. Okay, it says give me an
understanding heart
So that I can govern your people
You might switch this just a little bit give me an understanding heart so I can serve my clients
Give me that wisdom. Do you know God will reveal exactly what your clients need?
This is the most exciting thing
You'll say something and your clients will start crying because it's just hits to the core
This is the power that God has given us
so give me an understanding heart so I can govern your people well and
Know the difference between right and wrong
Look at what he says for who by himself you see
Solomon had to come the same revelation. I'm sharing with you the same revelation. I had to come to in
2004 who can do this by yourself? Really?
You're gonna say I don't need access to infinite wisdom infinite love
infinite resources, I don't need it. No, like a two-year-old, I can do it myself.
Who can do that? It doesn't work. It doesn't work. Says, who by himself is able to
govern this great people of yours? And it says in verse 10, the Lord was pleased
that Solomon asked for wisdom. You know, scripture says many, many places above all
get wisdom. This is why we have a morning spiritual practice. This is why we read the
word. This is why we guard what we listen to, what we watch, because wisdom is everything.
With wisdom comes peace and provision and everything else. So God replied, God answered
this prayer for wisdom. And God replied, because you've asked for wisdom in governing my people
with justice and didn't ask for a long life or wealth, because that's just a byproduct, right?
Or the death of your enemies. Look what God says. Verse 12, I will give you what you asked for.
But look at this. I will give you a wise, understanding heart, such as no one has ever had
or will ever have. So God granted him the wisdom to understand how to carry out his divine assignment,
just like he will you. But look at this. Verse 13, and I will also give you what you did not ask for,
riches and fame, like no king in all the world can be compared to you for the rest of your life.
And I'll give you long life. Did you catch that? God, I surrender my business. Give me wisdom.
Above all, I want to do this your way. Give me wisdom. And God says, absolutely. And guess what?
I'm also going to give you riches. I'm also going to give you long life. I'm also going to give you
the fame. Wow. It seems to me when I study scriptures, God is not against us being rich.
Or he wouldn't have made. And we'll get into this when we talk about opening the flow. I'm going to
rattle your mind about money, like you're going to be blown away and we're going to break some
more lies. Every single day, we're going to break lies and we're going to build. We're going to
build. OK. And so Psalm 16, 7, I'll bless the Lord who guides me. Even at night, my heart instructs
me. Here's the interesting thing about that prayer. Verse 15, Solomon woke up and realized it
had been a dream. You see, God promises to speak to us even in our sleep. Do you know this morning
I woke up and I realized I had been dreaming about you and about this day. And God was showing me
that in every single cell, you know, the Bible says you are the light of the world. And he was
showing me in every single cell, the very core, when you get to the bottom, you know, past the
protons, neutrons, electrons, and you get to the past, that is light. The ultimate thing in every
cell in your body is light. And God wants to activate that light. You are the light of the
world. God wants to activate that light. And it says the blessings of the Lord maketh rich
and he adds no sorrow. The blessings of the Lord will increase you without the grind.
So we are going to go step by step by step. Tomorrow, we're going to really get into the
new thinking that's going to set you free. OK. In the meantime, leave your comments over in
the Prosper Women. Study the guide in the study guide. And if you're ready to make 2025 differently,
you want a coach to come alongside you. And like, what strategies can truly work?
Like, how do I do this? Schedule a call with me and Linda, maybe you could put the link for the call.
And let's make next year different. Let's let you step into the fullness of everything God
has called you. We open talking about scaling, scaling life and business, scaling a mountain,
going to the pinnacle. Let's see you go to the fullness of your potential. I believe that this
next year is going to be the greatest year that many, many of you have ever experienced beyond
your wildest imagination. I will be sharing stories all week of clients as well as myself
and what they're experiencing. It's wild. It's a wild, fun, miracle filled adventure.
So schedule a call with me.
If you keep doing the same things,
you're gonna keep getting the same results.
If you keep thinking the same thoughts,
you're gonna keep getting the same results.
Let's switch it up.
Let's do things differently.
Give me a call and let's set up 2025
to not be a repeat of 2024,
unless you just absolutely love 2024
and you say, yes, give me more of it.
I suspect that's not true for most of you.
Let's make 2025 different.
Let me close in prayer.
Father, I thank you.
I ask that you seal everything that has been spoken here.
Seal it, Lord, that like the parable of the sower,
the enemy cannot come and steal the seed,
which is your word,
but that it sprouts and that it multiplies
tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
Lord, I'm asking for increase,
increase in wisdom for everybody listening,
increase in joy for everyone listening.
The joy of the Lord is our strength.
Increase in resources, Lord.
You are the God who supplies all of our needs.
You are our shepherd and we shall never, ever lack.
Lord, I'm asking for a tribe of women
to rise up into the fullness of all you've called them
to take everything they've learned,
every lesson, every blessing, every gift, every education,
to take everything you've put in them, Lord.
And I'm asking that they scale,
that they rise to the top of the mountain with authority,
with confidence, with joy.
I'm asking that you bless their finances,
you bless their health, you bless their relationships.
I'm asking that everything they put their hand to
prospers in Jesus' name, amen.
I cannot wait to build this out with you.
