All right, welcome, welcome to this edition of Office Hours,
which of course we meet every Thursday,
nine Pacific Standard Time.
It's a benefit.
You know, I always thought of it before as like an extra,
like I'll make myself available as an extra,
just perk for being a Prosper Leader member.
But I'm finding these Thursday mornings
are like getting richer and richer and almost a high point.
Like I'm loving these and I think many of you are too.
So, so glad to be here.
Of course, the purpose of this is for you.
We like to celebrate wins,
spur each other on to good works.
You know, the verse don't forsake gathering of yourself.
So it's great to gather
and share in that energy collectively.
It's a place for you to bring questions,
showcase what you're working on.
And it hit me a few things also.
Do you have an area that God has been putting on you
that you need to birth and you're not doing it?
And there could be a multiple of reasons
that you might be saying why you're not doing it,
but let's go a little deeper and break through
and make sure that this is really a season of birthing.
I really believe this is the season
where God's gonna give you the keys,
keys to the kingdom, keys to what you're called to do.
I really believe this is the season for rising.
It's much needed in the world.
And I feel, I feel God's favor
on birthing what's been put in you.
So is there something
that you've been putting off, procrastinating?
Let's talk about that and have a plan to push through.
Also not allowing distractions,
not allowing, because I really felt,
God's been telling me to do this book.
Let me let some people in here.
Don't wanna leave anyone out there.
Okay, so I really feel that when you're called
to do something, this is the season right now.
So first looking at why are you not doing it?
And all this stuff comes up.
I just haven't had time.
This has happened, this has happened, this has happened.
I really wanna do it.
But underneath that is either a fear
or a lack of skill or a lack of clarity.
That is what's really true
is you don't know what to do next,
or you've got a fear if you do it, what's going to happen.
It's an underlying, in other words,
the issue is not the issue.
So I want you to look at
what has God been telling you repeatedly to do
that you're putting off?
Let's get some breakthrough.
We'll pray through it, we'll have suggestions.
Let's get some breakthrough in that area, okay?
And the other thing is to not allow distractions
to take you off course.
You see a lot of examples in scripture of distractions.
Like even as I'm talking to you right now,
I think about Paul and he's preaching.
And you remember there was kind of the,
I don't remember now, but the sorcerer
or whatever in the book of Acts.
And even saying the right things,
oh, this man's from God, this, blah, blah, blah.
And being, you know, sound, the word sounded good,
looked like it was on the same team,
but actually was not on the same team.
And he ultimately had to rebuke that.
It was the enemy slowing down Paul
by being loud and distracting everybody
and distracting from the gospel.
And so take a look if that's happening in your life.
I've got to tell you, you know, it came to the point,
God's, you know, I'll be honest,
God's been telling me to do this book for 10 years.
And yet I understand the perfect perfection of the timing.
I couldn't have done it till now.
But as you know, he cleared everything and said,
look, you're doing it now.
And you saw me, I never do where I clear like this.
I mean, I just stopped my life.
There was days I didn't even take a shower.
It was, last few weeks were like 12, 14, 16 hour days,
nothing, right?
But what would happen is, wow,
the level of distractions and emergencies
to try to take me off course were massive.
Coming from my children, had a dog almost die.
The stuff I went through and going through.
So the enemy, you know, if he can't get you to doubt
and he can't attack your faith,
cause what he'll first, you know,
the real.
Easy target you see right in scripture, right?
The first thing is attack the word right did God really say so if he could just keep you separate from the word
Yeah, you don't need any big distractions because you know lack of word lack of prayer, you know, you're covered
Okay, but you're staying in the word and he doesn't get you there. Then he tries to get you with your identity, right?
So look at Jesus when the devil tempted him you got the model right there
Did God really say and if if you are the son of God?
He'd just come out of the baptism
He was the son of God and and the enemy heard that too, right?
And so if you're the son of God, and so if he can't get you away from the word, he attacks you
Who do you think you are doing this?
You're not good enough
Everybody knows this this is nothing new. This is not fresh
Why do you think you can do it right and and that could come from within or could come from around you suddenly or full-on?
right
If you're breaking through all of that and you're committing then comes the distractions and the emergencies
okay, so watch for that understand those and
and what God was
really hitting me with
was
Hebrews chapter 4 and I'm gonna say this last thing and then I'm gonna shut up and I want to hear you guys what you're
Working on and what you're doing, but this is what God was putting on my heart
We'll open with prayer and we'll go is this helpful. Am I talking to anybody? Is this hitting you where you are?
Okay, you can tell I'm I'm a bit pregnant, right? Even though I have the baby. I'm still pregnant for you guys. All right
Hebrews chapter 4 in
the passion translation
If you have to look it up online if you don't have the passion translation this one you want to read in the passion translation
Hebrews chapter 4
Hebrews chapter 4 in the passion translation
the title of this chapter and
It's the last chapter in my book. I really get into this but it's called the faith rest life. I
Want you to just think about those words the faith
Hyphen rest life the faith rest life
I'm just gonna read a couple of verses you guys go deep with it. Ask God to show you this. Okay, it says
now I
Would circle that word now
now
the promise of
entering into God's rest is
still
for today
I would circle today. I would hear this fresh from heaven right now for you
There's a promise
It's still active and it's now for today
So now the promise of entering into God's rest is still for today
Listen to this. So
So we must be
extremely careful
to ensure
that we embrace
the fullness of
That promise so there's a promise still active for today
We have to be so careful that we embrace think about embracing you hug it you take it in you bring it you
embrace
The fullness like all of it like clean the plate
Drink it to the last drop
Of that promise and
not
fail to experience it
So there's a promise from God
It's a promise of of rest where it's talking about soul rest. It's not talking about you getting a good night's sleep though
You will this is talking about working
Diligently doing what you're called to do birthing your visions birthing your dreams
But not doing it from a place of angst doing it from a place of rest
and
It goes on to say for we've heard the good news of deliverance
Just as they did
The first people to hurt here this promise
yet
they
Did not join their faith
With the word
So first if the enemy tries to take the word out of you that's the first second is
They didn't join their faith with the word
Instead, what did they do?
instead
What they heard?
Didn't affect them deeply
In other words they were superficial with the word they heard it they read
at it, they checked the boxes, they did the devotional,
but it didn't affect them deeply for they doubted.
For those of us who believe,
faith activates the promise
and we experience the realm.
I want you to understand this is a realm that you live in.
It's a dimension.
It's what it means to be seated in high places.
It's what it means to be in the middle of chaos
and you're in the realm of what?
Of confident rest, confident rest.
So what I wanna share with you is to go forward,
but from a place of standing on the word
and being in peace.
And this is why Jesus could sleep during the storm
and they woke him up and don't you care, we're gonna die.
And he carried peace
and he could release peace into the storm.
And you're called to do the same thing,
release peace into the storm.
All right, that's my two cents to open this call,
what's on my heart to share.
Is that helpful?
Is that useful?
Okay, and what I'm gonna do is pray
and I want you guys just raise your hands.
Let's work through what you're working through,
whatever that looks like, I'm here to serve you.
So let's pray.
Father God, I thank you for the faith rest life.
I thank you that we can confidently enter
into a place of rest, that we can run,
we can run with you, that we can create,
we can write, we can coach, we can build,
we can create breakthroughs, we can do feats for you,
we can be in motion, but our hearts
and our souls are at peace.
We thank you for that promise.
You've said in Isaiah 26, three,
you will keep in perfect peace,
the one whose mind has stayed on him, stayed on you.
So we fix our minds on you, walk in perfect peace.
So now Lord, let your wisdom flow,
let revelation knowledge flow
and whatever breakthrough is needed,
whatever encouragement is needed,
whatever skillset is needed, Lord, bring it forth here.
Bless these women, bless them on their journey.
Bless them as they rise, bless them as they sleep,
bless them as they go forth in Jesus name, amen.
All right, ladies, raise your hands,
give, share some wins, share some questions.
Okay, Sharla, I see you raising your hand
and then looks like Karen right after that.
So let me bring you over here.
There you go, I see you.
Hello, hello.
Certificate of completion, woo, woo, woo, woo.
Does anybody know what that is?
Anybody know what that is?
Do you know what that is?
I completed the basic coaching certification.
Yay, she finished the Prosper Basic Level
Coach Certification, awesome.
I'm gonna make sure you're activated for the next level.
About one this morning, I did a marathon on the last.
Okay, all right, so there's three levels
of the coach certification and the basic,
which is really cool, it's really about growing you.
So tell me, were there things in there that grew you?
Were there things that, like,
what was your biggest takeaway?
You know, I'm just amazed and beautiful,
gratified that I found you because the things that,
the science that has proven so many of these things,
the religious world wants to keep separate.
It's too woo, woo, they can't control people
if you have this wisdom behind it and you integrate that.
And I, because I believe it and I know it, it doesn't,
and I've been on that path, but you're so clear with it
and you're so confident with it and you're so like,
we've got to get this into the church too.
But most people I know that, you know,
they're very resistant to the science of the mind
and the heart and the heart being the brain,
you know, all the brains and the heart and all that.
Joe Dispenza.
was all that stuff. Yeah, I love love it. And in the book
with even more stories and more details, too. So yay. Um, well,
I want to really celebrate and so any of you that don't know
that, you know, the prosper by design coach certification
program, and you know, if you've attended any of my launches or
anything, it's scripture, science and strategy, I always
bring those. And particularly what she's referring to is
really all the new studies in psychoneuroimmunology. And how
much what scripture validates that out of the heart flows the
issues of life to guard your wisdom. I mean, it's ancient
stuff. We're talking 5000 years out of the heart, the mouth
speaks. And and that now science, there's like 40,000
neurons in the brain, right in the heart 40,000 neurons 40,000
little brains in your heart, and the heart's an affair and
organ, and the heart is actually sending more information to the
brain than the brain is to the heart. And then you know, when
Candice pert, PhD, I mean, she's just done so much the molecules
of emotion, and how the emotions that you're carrying in your
heart are actually released through neuro peptides. In other
words, there's a chemical footprint for every emotion,
which attaches to the different organs in your body based on you
know, which one it is. So there's there's no neutral
emotions, if you're holding on to anger, bitterness, resentment,
for example, that goes straight to the liver, shutting down like
up to 2500 functions of the liver, which course can then you
know, move into cancer and other things. You know, unprocessed
grieving goes to the lung, unprocessed criticism goes to
the kidneys. So so we finally are seeing because to be honest,
when I read things in the Bible, like guard your heart, out of
the heart flow all issues of life or as a man thinketh in his
heart. To be honest, I thought to myself, this is how me
backwards, I thought, Oh, those poor people 5000 years ago, they
didn't understand we think with the brain they understand. I
mean, they're just kind of okay, it's just a little bit
backwards 5000. I thought that you thought with the heart. No,
they understood 5000 years ago, what we are behind and messed up
and understanding. So, um, so yay, I celebrate you. Basic
level. Congratulations. You know, next comes the advanced
and then the master level so proud of you really
congratulations. I'm proud to have you on on that team and so
many good things.
Thank you so much. And I do believe that I don't, I don't
directly relate it to that training. But I several other
little things I feel like maybe last night this morning
yesterday, I have a shift I've been in this holding pattern,
you know, I feel like, you know, I'm willing to take more action
and do what some whatever, you know, it takes right now,
because I have entered a speaking contest. I've, that's
new for me. Just a lot of things. I'm ready. Ready to
start sharing all of that, you know, and being transparent with
us. You know, that's, everybody wins from that, that we're not
showing up here thinking we're all perfect. And, you know,
look, I shared with you, I put off this book for almost 10
years, I made lots of stops and starts and turns and all of
that. So it happens to all of us. But I'm super, super proud
of you and honored to come alongside you. I know we're,
we're going to be on a coaching call. I'm super excited to go
through, you know, your talks and have you advance into your
speaking career. So will everyone give Sharla a snap
first and foremost? And yes, yes, we celebrate. And second,
as I pray, will you touch and agree that this is a shift that
sticks and moves her forward? Will everyone touch and agree
with me? So Father God, I just lift up Sharla. She is anointed,
appointed, she loves you. And Father God, I just ask that you
will, you are Jehovah Belperazim, the God of the
breakthrough. And so I'm asking for breakthrough for Sharla. I'm
asking that she sheds the old identity with the old beliefs,
and the old ways of doing things that she releases that, and that
she steps into the new identity of who you say she is, that she
is who you say she is, she can do what you say.
she can do. And so in the mighty name of Jesus, I pray that this is a season of advancement,
a season of boldness, a season of completion, of finishing everything that she starts by your
grace, not by striving. Like you say in Zechariah, not by might, not by power, but by my spirit,
saith the Lord. So Lord God, let your spirit flow through her, activate what needs to be activated,
dissolve and dissipate what needs to be dissolved and dissipated, the lies.
And Father God, I thank you as you move her forward that she's a light and she will shine
and bring encouragement to many. I give thanks for her bold heart, her love for you.
I pray you open doors. I pray for divine appointments. I pray for divine resources.
And we give you all the glory in Jesus name. Amen.
All right, sister, I'm excited to hear the good reports of all that God is going to do.
All right, looks like Karen is next up. Did you take your hand down, Karen? You still want to
come? Yeah, because I'm going. Okay, sounds good. Thank you. Let me bring you over here.
All right. Welcome. Welcome. What's up with you? Hi. So actually, and Sharla, congrats. I think
that's amazing. That's a nice journey that you're on. I'm really happy for you. Yeah,
because it reminds me like I felt like really happy when I found my transformational coaching
school online because it was spirit based, which I was like, oh, this is great because people had
been recommending you're like, they're like, Oh, you'd be a great life coach. And I just was like,
and then I found this school and it just aligned with who I am and where I'm going. So yeah,
so I'm very happy for you, Sharla. So I just celebrated on this past Saturday, five years
sobriety. My five year coin and my husband gave me a bag of marbles because at five years you get
your marbles back. So and it's been an amazing two weeks. I'm looking forward to our session,
Brenda. Yeah, me too. You know, like a couple of weeks ago, I was put on like the deck for like,
oh, what's your USP yada yada. And I was like, crap, I really have to get that together. So
that was like really good moment because I've been working on it. And talking about distractions. Now
I had to pray on this. I'm like, am I getting distracted with doing my, my method, I created a
workbook, I'll backtrack. People ask me, how did I get sober? How do I have a good sobriety? How am
I doing it? And I've been very abstract. And I'm always like, well, acceptance. And I'm like, well,
really, it's the fourth step. So about a year ago, I had started putting together my version of a
fourth step from AI based more on another method. And I combined a few things. And just about a
month ago, I picked it up. And I was like, I can tweak this, there's something here. The past two
weeks, I've been driven, like I can't like obsessed, like maniac. It's like all I can think
of is like working on this thing. And it's really coming together beautifully. I have like 100 pages
on that I have to go over, but I'm thinking of like, but anyway, so I'm like, really happy about
that. So I feel like thanks. Oh, Brenda, did you did you get to see it at all? I know I just sent
it this morning. So I have not. So it's a really like thorough workbook, I want to make sure that
it works. So I'm going to test it out with some people are going to ask a rehab if I could work,
do a workshop with it, get some feedback. I think it'll be helpful. I'm hoping it helped me. I mean,
this is based. So what I've been honing on is like, what's my USP. So I, I don't like telling
people what to do. So that's, that was another thing that's always fed me. But I do like guiding,
I have my experience, and I've lived quite a life. And I, I'm in the happiest place,
the most grounded. So I'm a guide, a transformational guide, like I will shine a
light on your path and show you what you can do help guide you forward. Now I'm using my,
the return to self method, the return method as a map. Here's a step by step.
Yeah, I love when God gave you that. That's a great one. I can't wait to look at it. Can't
wait for our coaching call. Yeah, proud of
you that you set it aside and made it happen.
There's seasons.
And the key is to have absolute honesty.
Like, are you putting off, for example,
doing sales, which are super, super important
and we can't exist without it?
Because the creativity is fun, which is many, many women.
And then they never make any money.
And then they often lose their businesses.
That's one type.
Or are you being genuinely led by the Holy Spirit
and that this is a project with a deadline
and give it every ounce of strength?
And OK, I'm going to give it this two weeks
and then I'll be full back.
You've got to discern.
And so there's going to be seasons
where you pull away to do.
And it could be to create.
It could be to rekindle with your family or rest.
God made the world with seasons.
So I don't think that we're always
going to do the exact same thing every day.
As long as we're being led by the Spirit of God,
the rest will take care of itself.
So all right, well, let's give Karen a snap.
And I congratulate.
I can't wait to see it.
And I'm looking forward to our coaching call, sister.
All right.
Did anybody else?
How are we doing?
We still got some time.
Who else is?
Who else?
I'd love to hear from you.
Love to hear.
What are you working on?
There's wins.
There's challenges.
What are you procrastinating?
What do you need support?
That's the purpose of this.
Let your sisters encourage you.
Let me encourage you.
That's what this time is all about.
All right, Jennifer.
Come on down.
Your hair is so pretty.
Well, I've got this sun that comes in beating out.
I guess the sun is the hair.
Like, you guys, doesn't she have beautiful hair?
Like, you could do a hair commercial.
Thank you.
I know.
I always wonder, should I pull my shade down?
But I can totally relate to the whole
writing is easier than the editing, the editing,
the editing, the re-editing, all the different editors
and all the different versions.
And my book was 500 pages.
But it's got, like, probably, I don't know, 150 resources.
And we edited it down to 500, which is crazy, crazy.
And they said, this won't sell.
This won't sell.
But I listened to God instead because I just
knew it's a whole trial.
Amen.
Excuse me.
There were 250-page things for one day on trial.
And I would break it down to 30.
And I'm like, I can't get it any lower.
I know.
It's quite the art.
I'm telling you.
I had one chapter that was 12,000 words,
just one chapter.
Yeah, it's so hard to edit.
You know, you save it all.
And it'll have its time and place and God's need.
And in this case, you know, I've written longer things.
I'm already a best-selling author.
So I have that.
I thought, well, you know, this book
is about global transformation for God, that's all.
So whatever is going to best accomplish that, we'll see.
But I'm so glad.
Well, like you said, we start off with an intention.
And then it could be remolded.
And once you grasp that, oh, this
needs to go to more people or do a certain thing, then yeah.
Awesome, awesome.
So what's going on, or how can we support you?
Yeah, you know, I've had some wins.
Just we had our casting vision meeting.
That went well.
I loved, loved, loved all the feedback from the people
that were there.
We have 11 total.
We recorded it.
And that was my first time recording a Zoom.
Wonderful, congratulations.
And even taking the step to buy the Zoom.
I mean, just, you know, there's always 10 steps to everything.
That's the first step that, you know,
there's so much of what you're doing
in terms of casting vision.
That has to stay primary all the way through.
And I do a whole chapter on vision.
And it's so very important.
So congratulations.
I'm glad to see you starting that way and doing that.
Yeah, yeah.
So we're working on a couple of steps.
And when I say we, it's different people
doing different things.
And we're all trying to pray for a name,
the first venue, the date, and things like that.
But different people are getting different messages.
And it's just fun to watch all that.
happening and so we're really focused on the name the venue and the date at this
point. In the meantime I'm prepping for my first job so I've got a lot of
that going on so literally you know moving forward in two or three
different areas you know the main area then you know how am I gonna make money
to fuel this and then just went with my daughter she's halfway through her
pregnancy so just saw my first grandson and ultrasound so lots of lots of joy
around yeah she actually lives with us right now she's only 19 and yeah making
plans to to move out and figure out relationship and all that lots lots
going on there but yeah so my challenge is as always juggling which I don't know
I find it easy to shift gears and work on whatever I need to work on and try to
you know I'm not too worried about distractions because I do you know I am
able to focus at times and square off my days but I do have things pulling on me
like you know my parents health and lots of travel this month so it's kind of
silly even do the later thing but I made it to two meetings I didn't make
it to all of them I'm so I mean I'm so glad that you're here thank you for
taking the time and being here how can we support you how can them pray for you
well what do you need in this season well I think you know I just need time
and money I mean and so it's really important that you you look at the
mindset the heart set and the skill set around around that so right it's really
important that when you are are saying you need money that your mind is not
thinking about the lack or the not right right you got that right and then it's
really important to stand on the promises of God about that and speak
those and declare them and then it's really important to believe that it'll
come from a lot of different places like don't be too attached like you know
what you know the Bible says whatever's in your hand do it with all your mind so
do your best serve money is an exchange for value so constantly be asking how
can I add value to to make more money but do not be attached to where it's
gonna come from because nine times out of ten it comes from left field if
you're doing God's business it comes in a way that you totally didn't even
expect it a complete surprise and right I was talking to someone the other day
and they made a donation to the ministry that I didn't expect but I was talking
about three or four things that I needed to get in order to move forward and I
didn't expect it at all so you're absolutely right that I just keep
trusting God will bring the resources the timing yeah everything yes well
let's all everybody kind of join hands um let's pray let's bless Jennifer in
this new season and that the provision for every vision that God gives there's
always a provision it's up to him to supply for that vision so father God I
just thank you for Jennifer I thank you for her heart to serve and I pray
blessings on her blessings on her daughter and new grandbaby to come Lord
and I pray blessings on her parents and Lord I pray in this season that you will
give her first and foremost peace and you'll give her wisdom and discernment
to order her days the prayer of Moses in the Psalms that says Lord teach us to
number our days that we may have a heart of wisdom and I pray that that you will
order her steps Lord and I pray that the provision that is needed I ask that you
just open the flow show her ways she can add value and Lord just let there
just be side blessings of just money I mean Jesus could get it from a gold coin
in the fish's mouth you know it can come from so many sources and as she
lavishly gifts we claim the promise give and it is given unto you shall men pour
into your bosom so Lord I pray that people will pour into her ministry for
the advancement of what you've called her to I break any belief or spirit of
lack around her and I pray Lord that you just prosper her physically financially
relationally and spiritually in Jesus name amen
Now, I'm excited to see how this goes.
Sister, thank you for giving us the update and sharing.
So great.
I know how busy you are.
It's so great that you're part of the Prosper Leader
membership.
OK.
Haven't heard from a few of you.
Who else wants to just come in, say hi?
Anything you're working on?
Beth, Natalie, I'd love updates from you.
Anybody else?
I may be missing a hand and not seeing it.
You guys can let me know.
But let's see.
I'll come in.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
Is that Natalie?
It is me.
Hey, sister.
So great to have you.
Let me bring you up where I can see you here.
Well, that didn't work.
I'm sitting in my car.
Oh, there you go.
Now I see you.
Oh, so nice to see your face.
Thank you.
Yeah, my son locked his keys.
Well, he drove his car away from me.
God is dope.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So I had to deliver keys.
And so that's why I'm here in my car and not home.
Anyway, so just, you know what?
First of all, always excited, blessed,
consider it just a blessing to be able to be here and be
amongst you.
Always, Brenda, you always drop nuggets
that just feed my spirit and feed my soul.
I will tell you a couple of things that I'm thinking.
And I know one of the things you're going to say,
but I've got different tribes, which is good.
And I'm asking God, do I need a local tribe?
And when I say that, do I need a local group
of people who have high energy?
I've been kind of looking for or asking the Lord,
not looking because I don't want to go get them.
I want him to bring them to me, of individuals
closer in proximity that have the level of energy
and output in a sense that I do, maybe gifted in other areas
because it can get really deflated
if you don't have that.
Yeah, I see a home for you.
I see a home gathering for you.
Yeah, so thank you for that.
That's actually a confirmation.
So if we would pray for that.
And then just the other prayer is,
one of my conscience, which is a blessing,
tripled overnight.
And the blessing is that it tripled,
but it also tripled with exciting complexities.
And so I'm navigating.
And so one of the things I'll say,
I'll just give it really briefly.
There is someone who has been resistant to working with me.
And I believe it's because she thinks
that I want to take her role.
And I'm real clear, I don't want to take her role.
One of my gifts is I help other people shine.
However, what other people find challenges
is I don't dim my light in order for them to shine.
And so some people can't receive that
and understand I'm here for you,
but I'm not going to dim.
I can't, because if I do that,
I can't do what I'm supposed to do.
No, we're not called to do that.
None of us are called to dim our lights
to make others shine.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So just kind of navigating that space with her.
And unfortunately, fortunately and unfortunately,
the reason why I'm brought in
is because she has let so much stuff get behind.
And so I made them call me the special projects person
because I come in and do special projects,
get them up to speed.
And then I kind of move on.
And I got a lot of special projects with her.
Okay.
That's just a little bit of my time.
So yeah, so that's, those are the two pieces,
just that navigation and my tribe.
Yeah.
Okay, oh, thank you for bringing that up.
And you have sat down and talked to her privately
in a way to just allow her
to express everything she's feeling?
You know, I will do it again.
She is one that won't do,
when you talk to her, everything is fine.
I'm good, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
However, the results are showing something different.
And it's unfortunately, for her,
it's history with all the patterns that she has
in the relationships that she has,
and especially with this particular organization.
And the blessing for her is she has...
people that really, really want to see her succeed. And so anyone else at that has that would have
kind of done was already been out the door. So I don't know if it's kosher or how it works in
your organization. But I'm almost seeing like a tea or like a little coffee meeting or a little
lunch, just the two of you, and just a very safe place. And a very, the purpose of this is there's
a lot of people that love you, and we want to see you succeed. And I wanted to just be here and
listen, you know, what's working, what's not working? What do you find challenging? What,
what are your goals? What do you really want? Like, just allow her to have a place to talk.
And from that place, I think a lot can be discovered. And she but she obviously when
she says it's all good, it's because she doesn't feel safe. Right? Right. So and she's she's playing
the game that we're all taught to play, which is just put on the mask and keep it moving.
And God's God's doing it in a different way. And so pray that God cracks open her heart and that
you come from such a place of love and safety, that the Holy Spirit can move. And maybe even I
don't know if it's faith based. And if you can, but even even praying for her and just saying,
Sister, I'm coming right now just to listen and just to love and see, you know, I know what I got
to do to come in and help and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna dim my light. I'm not gonna slow down.
But what I want to slow down long enough to say you matter. And I want to, you know, learn,
learn from you. And that's what's happening for you. Gotcha. And so what I so in order for that
to be a safe place, I will take her off of racks to get in a neutral location. Nobody around no
one interrupting a neutral location. Yeah, that's just not know how to articulate the you know, I
know. Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Because who has the time to, you know, when somebody asks, like,
you know, you just don't have the full on time to, to articulate and get your, you know, so I'm fine.
And so what you're talking about doing, I think is, is beautiful, just
may not believe that you're truly asking people all the time, say, How are you doing? But they
don't want to hear that. So you treating her and going to a separate nice, enjoyable place,
with the full intention not to talk at her or reprimand her, but solely to understand,
to seek first to understand, sends a really loving message. And should the Lord open the
door to say I love you so much, I even want to pray for you. Yeah, he's open. And just so you
know, I'm her. I'm like her counterpart, like, I actually came in to work for her. However,
her supervisor has said, don't report to her report to me, because of kind of where she has,
where all of her projects are. So it's so it's kind of that dynamic.
Coming alongside you, come inside you. I'm not your boss. I'm not your manager,
just coming alongside here. Sister to sister, honestly, and hopefully you tell her hopefully
you'll feel my heart in this. Okay, that's great. Everybody want to just kind of lay hands,
let's pray that Natalie is blessed in this. So Father God, I just thank you for Natalie. I thank
you for her amazing heart and all the brilliance you packed into one being Lord. And I just pray
for you to open the exact right door to give her the time, the place, the words, the wisdom, Lord,
to shatter some of these protective layers that we've been taught to wear in the marketplace.
And love never fails. May love shine. May she feel safe and supported. And
may Natalie have the wisdom to skillfully navigate that conversation.
We just ask Holy Spirit that you'll go in advance, prepare the location, prepare the time,
prepare the details, prepare the hearts. And we just touch and agree that this will be a
place of reconciliation, of healing, of inspiration, of your presence. I think
there's going to be things that come out that you don't even know about her that she's struggling.
Could be in marriage, could be relationships or health, but I suspect that the issue is not the
issue. And a safe place of compassion to even pray for that and show love and kindness,
and for her to feel heard and loved and respected. So Father give.
Give Natalie wisdom and in terms of having a house gathering, a house church, Lord, begin
to give her dreams and visions even in the night season.
Begin to bring names, begin to bring people and conditions into play that she knows it's
of you to know the how, the when.
Often the vision comes before the actual time of it, the season.
So Lord, help her to know the right time, the right place, the right people.
Just help her to continue to walk, and I just pray blessings on her, Lord.
Bless her in her coming, bless her in her going.
Bless her in every way, spiritually, financially, physically, relationally, Lord.
I just give thanks for this woman of God.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
All right, sister.
You said something.
I started laughing.
You said house church.
I'm like, where'd she get that from?
Well, it kept coming up, but I didn't want to say it, but it came up like three times.
So I finally threw it out there at the end.
It's like, okay, Lord, because that was the very first thing that came up.
So it's a season for that, sister.
It's a season for that.
God's doing a new thing.
So all right, thank you for being willing to share with us.
We can't wait to hear the good report of where it all goes.
All right, ladies, I'm super excited to walk with you on this journey, and for everything
that each one of you are working on, I just bless you.
I know Bev, you're getting ready, but I'll see you at coaching.
I know you're listening, so glad that you're here, even if we don't get to see you.
You're special.
You're seen, you're heard, and I love each and every one of you, and we will see you
next week.
Blessings to you.
