All right, good morning, good morning or good afternoon for those of you on the East Coast
and good evening for those of you over in the UK.
I am so excited.
This is resurrect your spirit and your business.
So primarily we're focusing on spirit, but everything we do affects everything else.
So you're going to get some business growth as part of this, I'm absolutely sure.
I've taught this for, I think about 10 years now, however, it was a five day series and
I have consolidated it into one day.
So we're going to have a packed three hours.
You will get a break every hour.
So don't panic.
You'll get that scheduled in the goal of doing it like this is that my plan, my intention
is that it's less teaching.
It will have teaching to explain, but less teaching and more experiencing, letting you
experience every step of the way.
So this is the morning routine that I do, that I have done for many, many, many, many,
many years.
And it's gotten refined.
It is available not only in the study guide, but if you want a way to organize it, the
prosper daily planner is available on Amazon.
So thank you, Linda.
You guys can get that.
This is the organizing that I have used for years.
I teach all my clients to use it.
And the top corner of it is the morning spiritual practice has got a little checklist.
It's everything for organizing your life and business powerfully.
So that is up on Amazon.
I'm going to be going step by step through that.
This is the morning routine that I do.
When I was on, we see the book, Brian Tracy's television show.
We were wrapping up the show and he said, what would be the single most important advice
you would give to people listening to this show?
And I said, have a morning spiritual practice.
I am absolutely convinced this is the foundation.
It's the foundation for health, for life, for relationships, for your business, for
your finances.
And most important, it's the foundation for your life built on God.
Hey, so we're going to break down the components of the morning spiritual practice that I do
step by step and experience them.
I'm going to tell you something that you could just make a note on the top of your
study guide that is it's not in the notes.
But when I did it again this morning, I thought of it and I thought, oh, I should have put
that in the notes.
So I'm just going to tell you.
I start this morning spiritual practice before I open my eyes.
This is what I'm teaching you today, our new habits.
And I want you to balance habit because we're driven by habits and the more you can create
a habit, the easier it gets and flexibility habits with flexibility, meaning start wherever
you are.
Maybe right now.
I mean, I've had clients I'm writing about it in my book where I said, how is your morning
spiritual practice?
And they said, I have none.
And I'm like, you mean you don't even have five minutes for a quick devotional, a prayer,
nothing?
Nope.
I'm at the gym by 530.
And I thought to myself here, we have the access to God himself, creator of heaven and
earth maker of heaven and earth, infinite wisdom, infinite love.
We have access and we don't have time to plug in.
So as I said, this is the most foundational and I've trained myself before I even open
my eyes.
So you might want to think about that.
And so with your eyes still closed, you can set your intention.
You can say a little prayer to guide your day, you know, invite the Holy spirit to go
with you on the day.
Focus on what you're grateful for.
Focus on what you love.
This takes training.
So often, we open our eyes to panic.
Oh, my gosh, what time is I push the alarm twice?
Oh, my gosh, I missed.
I'm not going to have enough time and I'm not going to get this appointment.
I'm not going to have.
And we just like start in our total sympathetic fight or flight nervous system.
So it's training ourselves to build our days built on God.
OK, so on your first page, there is an introduction.
And it's why why have a morning spiritual practice?
Why are we doing this?
Why are we spending three hours on a Saturday morning?
Right.
And and I'll also remind you before we start, if you have any essential oils,
keep those on hand, bring them, you know, they bypass our conscious mind.
They go straight to our sense of smell,
which is right next to our limbic system, our emotions.
So, you know, breathe, put some on your hands.
I've got a little valor that I'm using here right now,
but I always keep these on my desk, maybe a little believe, maybe a little
abundance, so that also is going to make this more effective.
All right.
There's an introduction that God gave me that I want to share with you as a concept.
Why are we even doing this? Why does it even matter?
How do we go about this?
So two words came to me as I was asking
God about this series, and it was sacred and consecrated.
Now, I use Webster's 1828 for all my definitions because they're biblical.
They're the original dictionary of the English language and they're biblical.
You can look it up online, Webster's 1828.
So I looked at the word consecrated and it's there in your notes.
And it says to make or declare that's a powerful word we'll talk about in a bit
to make or declare to be sacred.
By certain ceremonies or rights, so this is a right in a way,
it's a practice to appropriate it to sacred use, to set apart,
to dedicate, to devote to the service and worship of God.
As in to consecrate a church.
I would like to open an invitation to you, what would your life be like
if every day was consecrated?
To God.
If every day was sacred.
See, we all want a great life.
Many of you have heard me quote this, my own quote, we all want a great life,
but a great life is made of great years and great years are made of great months
and great months are made of great weeks and great weeks are made of great days.
And they all start with the morning.
Technically, biblically, they start with the evening,
the evening and the morning or the first day, but we won't get into that.
Most of us start our days with the morning.
OK, and so this idea that we can dedicate each day to God and after this class,
I encourage you to go back and do some of the journaling prompts.
And so there's a journal prompt there.
What are your days dedicated to?
Is it to business? Is it to money?
Is it to getting stuff done and tasks?
What?
If you say, what do I consecrate my days to?
Truly, by my words and my actions.
Actions speak louder than words.
I might say, yeah, my days belong to God.
How? How much?
Honestly, truly.
So it's something really powerful.
There's a verse that we can open with, which is Romans chapter 12.
Verse one is tight there.
And then I'm going to tell you verse two that goes right along with it.
And this really sets the stage,
sets the stage of why we want to consecrate not just our lives.
That's so vague. Yes, Lord, I'm yours.
OK, let's get practical.
Consecrate our our lives by consecrating our time, right?
We're we're stewards.
Biblically, we're stewards.
And I always tell my clients we are called to steward what?
Our bodies, right, our physical health,
that's the first thing God gives you stewardship over, really.
Our time, right?
Our mind, our resources, our money.
So if we're consecrating to God and we say, yes, I am consecrated to God, God is first in my life,
then we consecrate each and every day, which means at the bottom of the page,
we give him the first fruit. That was a practice in scripture, giving the first fruit.
And so the first fruit of the day is from the time that you open your eyes,
even before you open your eyes, like I mentioned. So the scripture for this is Romans chapter 12,
verse 1, says right there in your guide, and maybe pop the study guide link in the chat again,
I saw people come in that may not see it. So there is a study guide. All right, so it says,
therefore, I urge you, brothers, sisters, in view of God's mercy to offer, and that word offer is
consecrate, consecrate your bodies, your being as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.
This is your spiritual act of worship. The Amplified translation right below it says,
I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercy of God to present your bodies,
dedicating all of yourselves set apart. That's that word consecrate. I'm yours, Lord. I belong
to you. I owe my life to you. I'm yours. I'm consecrating myself. I'm setting myself apart
as a living sacrifice while I'm alive, not in heaven, right here, holy, well-pleasing to God,
which is your rational, like this just makes sense, rational, logical.
If you belong to God, what I'm sharing today is logical, intelligent.
How is it logical to say that we have access to the King of kings, the Lord of lords,
the creator of heaven and earth, infinite love, infinite wisdom, infinite knowledge,
everything we could ever want, access to all things, and we say, I just don't have time
for morning spiritual practice. Is that logical? Is that reasonable? Right? I mean, it's not,
but it's what we say. It comes out. I'm just so busy. I just don't have time.
You guys feel this? Like that hit me as to why this is so important and why I wanted to teach it
again. Okay. Romans 12 to the next verse is about renewing our mind. And it says, be transformed.
This is total transformation by the renewing of your mind, renewing. This is biblical.
This is also science. What I'm teaching you today, we're going to all day, we're going to go
always through the scripture, the science, and the strategy. The whole program is built that way,
the scripture, the science, the strategy. Okay. So there's some verses about first fruit offerings,
and there's some examples of this consecrating your mornings at the bottom there, Joshua
three, five, Joshua told this people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. The Lord will do amazing
things among you. And Jesus himself in Mark one 35 in the passion translation says,
the next morning, Jesus got up long before daylight.
That's a powerful word right there. Jesus got up long before daylight, left the house
while it was dark and made his way to a secluded place to give himself to prayer.
Now, some of you have read like the 5am club and some of you are going, oh my gosh,
I'm not a morning person. I can't even imagine that. Again, we're going to work on habit with
flexibility. So you may not be able to do a full hour morning practice when you're brand new,
just like you couldn't go to the gym and do all the machines. The first day you go to the gym,
habit, you show up every day. Maybe it's just a five minute warmup to first day.
And you keep adding and you keep adding to pretty soon you go there, you whip out an hour and it
feels like it was five minutes and it was fun. And you're strong. I'm using a physical example
of a spiritual principle, but you get what I'm saying. I want you.
As you open the Prosper Daily Planner and you open the morning spiritual practice,
there's recommended times, but it's just each one could be 30 seconds.
Each one could be a minute.
What's going to happen is the fruit as you renew your mind scientifically,
you're creating new neural pathways, you're changing your body from being
in the sympathetic, the fight or flight, the stress, the cortisol,
you're changing it to the parasympathetic, which is where God meant for us to be,
which is peace, which is flow, which is divine connection.
And so this is going to be a new habit.
But Jesus had that habit.
And so it may mean setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier.
Start with that just 15 minutes earlier than you normally will.
And you say, I give you, I dedicate,
I consecrate those first 15 minutes to you, OK, and then you build up.
It'll be such a joy.
It'll end up being an hour.
And for many, it'll be more.
For me, my morning spiritual practice is usually about three hours.
I don't have to start.
I don't even usually have appointments till nine or ten.
I get up at five.
I don't have to.
It's a joy.
It's my time with God.
That means I have to go to bed earlier.
I can't do that on nights that I go salsa
dancing, so there's a couple of nights that I start later.
But that's the point.
OK, so we're going to start right away.
We're going to practice each of these things.
So on the next page,
we're going to practice one of the most powerful centering.
It's an it's an ancient principle,
an ancient practice that was always understood and always used that we've
completely lost.
How many of you, unless you have been taught this and have begun
practicing it, how many of you think about your breath?
How many of you use your breath as a spiritual practice?
I'd love to know that in the chat.
How many of you use your breath for spiritual purposes?
I'd love to hear in the chat.
How many of you?
So as you're chatting that to me,
I'm going to tell you a couple of things that we're going to do it.
First of all,
the breath is the thing.
OK, so not routine.
So glad you're saying that. OK, Lois, I do.
And Linda, I do.
Since you showed us awesome, Amanda learning good.
Karen, I do, but not daily.
OK, is multiple times through the day.
This is going to be one of your biggest tools.
OK, Charlotte.
Yes, I use my breath often, not always.
OK, so you've dabbled a little bit.
I'm just going to remind you then perhaps
of something that you may or may not know and perhaps put a bigger priority to it.
OK, Karen says I do, but not spiritually.
OK, good.
So
the breath is so amazing when you study it through scripture.
OK,
the power of breath is aligning your body, spirit and soul.
The word Rulac.
The word Rulac means breath.
It means wind.
It's often used like Holy Spirit, wind, move of the spirit, and it means spirit.
It's when God breathed into our life,
once you didn't start being more conscious in scripture, when God breathed
into us, we move from just being clay to being a living soul.
Right.
And Jesus would breathe on them
and he would breathe and they would receive the Holy Spirit.
He understood breathwork.
The ancients all did.
And it's the breath that will bring you back into coherence, your mind, your heart.
It's the breath that will move you into the parasympathetic.
So Genesis two, seven,
God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being.
This is our life.
We take in our first breath as a baby.
We slap the baby and the baby takes in the first breath and the baby has life.
And if you've been with someone who has
passed, they breathe their last exhale.
This is the life force and its spirit.
Job 33, four says the spirit of God has
made me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
This in your body is Ruach.
When you start being conscious of this, it's going to change everything.
This is ruak.
So this is, if you were gonna do nothing else
in your spiritual practice,
that you begin to learn to breathe with God,
you're gonna see a big shift.
Now, slow intentional breathing calms the nervous system.
What you wanna do in the ratio,
let's say that you breathe in, we're gonna practice this,
but you breathe in for a count of four, let's say,
and you hold it for a count of four.
You wanna breathe out longer than you breathe in.
You wanna longer exhale.
So you wanna breathe out six or eight.
When you do this,
it kicks your body into the parasympathetic, into the calm.
It stimulates the vagus nerve.
It reduces your cortisol level.
It shifts your body into a state of peace.
So we're going to practice this right now.
And I want you just to be mindful of the change.
So have both feet on the floor,
spine straight up, comfortable.
You can close your eyes if you want to,
but we're starting our morning spiritual practice
with breath.
So we're gonna start with breath.
Okay, this gets you on that page.
So we're gonna inhale.
So first we'll just do the timing for just a second,
and then I'm gonna teach you some other ways to use it.
So for the timing, I want you to breathe in right now
for one, two, three, four.
And I want you to hold for one, two, three, four.
Now through your mouth, slowly breathe out
for one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Okay, so that's the rhythm.
So I want you to breathe in through your nose.
Hold.
Breathe out through your mouth.
Do it one more time.
Breathe in through your nose.
All the way, fill your lungs.
Hold.
Slowly through your mouth, completely empty.
You can already begin to feel a shift in your body
just doing that.
Now, here's a couple of favorite ones.
This is one I do with, I got from Justin Abraham.
And what we know that the word Yahweh
is actually the breath.
Actually, it's the lungs.
Yah, the name of God, is the inhale,
and the way is the exhale.
So we're gonna do that right now.
When you inhale, you're gonna be saying, Yah.
And when you exhale, you're gonna be saying, way.
Okay, so let's do that.
Again.
Do it one more time.
Another thing that the breath can do,
so the breath is connecting your mind, your heart,
your being with spirit.
It also can start to connect you to the oneness,
the intimacy with you and God.
So another thing you can do is you can inhale, okay?
You can inhale, you're in me.
You can exhale, I'm in you.
So I like to start with the exhale in this case.
So I kind of lean forward and I imagine myself,
all the scripture says, I'm hidden in Christ.
In Him, I live and move and have my being.
So I lean in and breathe out and say, I'm in you.
And then I breathe in, you're in me.
I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit.
So you lean forward.
I'm in you.
Lean back and just breathe in.
You're in me.
And so as you breathe out, and you just pour yourself into God, just lean forward and just it's a surrender, your hands can be open and I'm in you.
And then as you breathe in, you just fill your body and your lungs with the Spirit of God.
You're in me.
Powerful prayer right there.
Holy Spirit, Ruach of God, breathe into me again.
Still my anxious heart align my body, mind and spirit with yours, I receive your peace.
I inhale your presence.
And I exhale all fear. That's another thing you can do, you just imagine, filling myself with God, and then as you breathe out you relax your whole body and you let go of everything you say and I let go of all fear, doubt, worry, whatever you want to release.
That's another practice you can do. All of these are powerful practices with the breath.
In you I live and move and have my being be glorified in every breath.
Amen.
So, later I want you to do this in journal and practice a little bit but I want to ask you, who felt something, just doing this?
Who felt a shift in your body? I'd love to pop it in the chat.
What did you notice? What changed?
Total access peace through this. Yeah, calmer. It's stimulating your vagus nerve.
More settled. So let me ask you, I mean that took five minutes.
How many of you would like more peace?
How many of you would like more connection with God?
To feel that intimacy.
This wasn't hard.
It wasn't expensive.
It didn't take a load of time, it doesn't take a special technique.
Yes, calm immediately. You can use this in the middle of stress, in the middle when things hit you, the minute you feel overwhelmed, not just in your morning spiritual practice.
I do it first thing in the morning spiritual practice because it grounds me to receive from God.
It opens my mind and heart, and I'm ready. I'm not distracted with calendars or time or anything I can show up for God.
So I like it as part of the spiritual practice, but this is a tool that we do.
Have you ever noticed when you're stressed, you sigh?
Ever noticed that? Your body knows that that exhale is what calms you.
Your body knows this, you see?
And so God's been trying to teach us.
So love this. Okay, Christine, very grounding.
Yeah, when you're in the middle of all this craziness.
Okay, Nicole says lighter.
Okay, love that. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Okay, so from there, we can move in our spiritual practice.
And I'm trying to keep this in kind of little 15-minute segments.
When there's no talking, they could be five-minute segments if I'm not explaining anything.
Okay, so I'm trying to actually walk you through.
So I start my day, right?
And I didn't say this, but the first thing I do is set an intention.
That could be before you open your eyes.
That could be before, as you're breathing, you could be setting your intention.
Then I breathe.
And then I found, for me, the order next is meditation.
Meditation is kind of an extension of the breathing to just really take me into that intimacy.
And I'll often do a prayer as part of that meditation.
And then we'll talk about different types of meditation.
But we just did a prayer around the breathing.
But let's just do a prayer right now for this.
And then we'll move into the meditation section.
We're still in part one on the page prayer and meditation in the study guide.
So, Father, we just thank you.
Thank you for the breath in our lungs.
Thank you for our heart beating.
Thank you that you chose to wake us up this morning.
chose to give us another day, thank you that we have the opportunity to learn how to truly
connect with you.
So Holy Spirit, I just ask that your presence just floods the atmosphere of this class.
Holy Spirit, I just ask that your peace, your love, your presence just floods into every
mind and heart on this call or listening to the recording, that you permeate the room
with your presence, that you open our spiritual senses, our spiritual eyes that we can truly
see and mostly with our heart to perceive, that you'll open our spiritual ears that we
can hear, that we become fine-tuned to your voice, that we feel, that we have the awareness
that you're in us, you're around us, you're in everything, you are the creator, the life
force that holds everything together, and you've told us, Lord, to come boldly to the
throne room, that we may obtain grace and help in times of need, and I love that that
word help or that word grace is the ropes that tied the planks together in the boat,
in those Jesus boats.
I remember being in Israel and seeing the Jesus boats and the ropes held the planks
together, and you said that we come boldly to your throne room, that we can have grace
and help in times of need, so we call on your grace, we call on your spirit to move
mightily in and through us.
Live us, Lord, we ask in Jesus' name, amen.
So when we look at meditation, there's Eastern meditation that is the concept of emptying
your mind, and I think that's become popular because our mind is so full, because we have
incessant chatter, so people get results from quieting the chatter.
Biblical meditation is a little bit different, and it's another level.
It's still quieting the mind.
It's stopping the chatter, but it's, someone say something, or do we need to mute someone?
It's meditating on the word.
It's also becoming aware, it's meditating on his works, on who God is and what he's
done, and it's becoming aware of his presence.
We're called to be a people driven by presence, and all the greats in scripture and all the
ancients understood this.
The presence became the most valuable thing, as they were led from slavery in Egypt to
the promised land, it was the presence, it was the cloud by day, it was the fire by night.
Moses came to understand that without that presence, he's like, if your presence doesn't
go, I'm not going, right?
David would be as a deer, pants for the water, so my soul longs for your presence.
He was such a worshiper, and so it's starting to get out of ourself, out of the ego mind
that is so driven, a 3D time and money and stress and all of that kind of stuff, and
it's becoming aware of God's presence.
To me, that's why I do meditation first, because if I can get in a state where I still my mind
through breathing, through prayer, if I can get where I start to feel his presence, everything
changes, everything.
It's the most glorious of all things, and so there's a few verses in your study.
There's Joshua 1.8 that is talking about meditation on the word.
Okay. And so, of course, for Joshua, the Old Testament was the only word they had, the book of the law.
And so Joshua, it says, this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it when day and night.
I believe there's a morning meditation to start your day and I believe there's an evening meditation to wrap up your day.
Okay. And so day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything in accordance with all that is written.
It's lining up our life with the word of God. Right.
For then, this is a conditional statement, do this and then.
So for then you, you could circle that word you, because this, this is so important.
A misunderstanding with believers is waiting on God and expecting God to do everything.
Well, I'm just waiting on God to show me. I'm just waiting on God to open the door.
I'm just waiting on God to do it and they're waiting on God and they're waiting on God and God is waiting on them.
So there's God's part, and I've taught this in many of the workshops, there's God's part and there's our part.
Okay. When God freed them from Egypt, that was God's part.
He set them free. He led them. That was God's part. They left with provision.
That was God's part. Leading, providing, protecting. That's God's part.
They and they alone could renew their mind. We just started the open with Romans 12.
They alone could renew their mind. God will not renew your mind.
This is a daily practice. As I read in Romans 12, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
God is not going to do that. That stinking thinking, those old beliefs that run you, that striving, that perfectionism, those fears, those angst, the anxiety, that yes, God's grace.
He will often deliver us and work miracles. I'm never barring that God can't.
But as a practice, God doesn't do for you what he calls you to do. And he did it for them.
It meant that an 11 day journey took 40 years around the mountain until they were ready to renew their mind.
Okay, so he says right here in Joshua, be careful to do everything in what it's written.
And then you circle the word you say, then I will make it doesn't say, and then God will.
It says, and then you will make your way prosperous.
Meditation has to do with your prosperity.
Are you catching this? Anybody getting any ahas? You could put aha in the chat. I love it when you get ahas. Type aha whenever you do.
And then you will be successful.
If there's any ahas, I want to know.
Psalms. So we'll go to David. That was Joshua. We'll go to David. Psalms 1, the very first psalm opens with.
And this is the Amplify because I love the description. Blessed, fortunate, prosperous, favored by God.
Any of you want to be blessed, fortunate, prosper and favored by God? Does that sound appealing?
Is the one who delights in the law of the Lord and on his precepts and teaching, he habitually.
Remember I said this is about habit. We're creatures of habit.
We keep some flexibility, but it's about habit.
He habitually meditates day and night.
Why night? Because the last thing you think about before you close your eyes is going to set the stage.
If you dream, if you hear from God in your dreams, which the Bible says he speaks to us in the night season.
If you remember your dreams, if you have a peaceful sleep.
If you fall asleep worrying.
Then you're going to have some pretty entangled dreams.
So the night we finish with gratitude, we invite God to speak to us in the night season.
So that's why it's always meditate day and night.
David in another place, Psalm 6, on my bed, I remember you.
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Philippians in the New Testament. Think continually. This is meditation. Think
continuously on these things. Center your mind on them. Implant them into your
heart. That's meditation. So in Scripture, meditation is about filling the mind
with God's Word, reflecting on his truth, and becoming intimate aware of his
presence. Meditation is a daily habitual practice for the blessed life.
Meditation can happen anytime, even if you wake up in the middle of the night.
That usually means you're supposed to pray for someone. It's a great time to
meditate. You'll go back to sleep, okay? Not if you're focusing on your problems
and you're meditating on your problems. What are you magnifying? Your problems or
God, right? So what are the practices with Scripture? And we'll just
do this one just as a real quick, and you could do this more. But one of the, again,
now, if you put your feet down on the ground, we're going to take the verse
Psalms 46 10, because it's a very simple verse, and it's just a few words. Be, still,
and know, that's three words, I am God. So about five, we can make that five words
for meditating. So one of the ways of meditating with Scripture, one word in
Scripture for meditating is like chewing the cud. It's like cows chewing grass,
chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing. We chew on the word. That is a form of meditation.
So there's breathing meditations, right? There's prayer meditations. There's word
meditations. So let's do a word meditation, okay? So what we're going to
do, we're going to take three Yahweh breaths together, and then what I want
you to do quietly is I want you to meditate each word. So I want you to go
be. Be. Hmm. Being. Like just get the feeling of be. What does that mean? What comes to
you? What does God show you? Be. And then we're gonna do still. What does it mean?
Be still in my mind, in my body. Like be still. Then you kind of combine them. Be
still. Be still. And know when I'm in my being, when I'm still, I'm gonna know. Like
that, okay? You get it? And just kind of keep putting, just kind of chew like cud
on the words. I want you to practice this. I'm gonna put on a little music, and I
want you to do this, okay? Just to practice it. Good. I see a bunch of aha's
coming. I'm so glad. I can't wait to hear these. Um, okay. So we're just gonna do
three Yahweh's, and then I want you to go into that practice, okay? Just be still
and know I am God, okay? We're gonna do the I am separate. We're gonna do God.
Then we're gonna kind of put it all together, and just chew on it. See what
God shows you, okay? Here we go. Let's do the three times of breathing.
Okay.
Okay, in meditating, do those words.
♪♪
♪
Okay, and just slowly begin to come back.
Maybe wiggle your hands and toes.
Come back into the present.
How was that?
Anybody? You'll have a place right there to kind of journal.
What happened for you?
Did any of you get it?
That was about five minutes, so it didn't take long.
You could do longer or shorter.
Did God begin to reveal something to you?
Amazing, felt longer.
Yeah, you just get lost in time.
Good.
Lois says love it.
You see, these things are not hard and they're not long.
That was five minutes.
I could have gone 10 right there, but I knew this is new for you,
so I'm trying to let you just kind of experience it in the simplest form.
Hard to be still, but I relaxed.
Yeah, again, this is a new habit.
If your mind has been used to racing, your thoughts have been used to racing,
it will come with time.
And so you get another thought.
You get fidgety, just let it keep going.
And then just go back to it.
So you'll have a lot more of those interruptions in the beginning.
And over time, they'll become less and less.
You know, the root word for disciple is discipline.
This is about disciplining our mind.
We're called to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
We have not mastered that.
Most of us, our thoughts run us.
They run the show.
And so doing practices like this is where you're beginning to take that
train that's been going so fast down those tracks of running the show
and begin to turn it around to where you master your thoughts
and your thoughts don't master you.
So it will be hard for some of you.
If you haven't done this in the beginning, that's normal.
Your mind wants to jump all over and think about other things.
That's normal.
Don't judge it.
Don't be upset.
Just bring it back.
Just keep.
I like to think of that word, take every thought captive.
I like to think of a corral of horses.
And, you know, bringing the horses in the, in the corral,
instead of letting them run wild in every direction,
which is what our anxious thoughts can do.
Right.
And so this is learning.
You're being a disciple.
Which is disciplining your mind.
Okay.
Let's see.
What else?
Hey, I agree.
Hard to be still.
Can I share a link?
Yes.
So that particular one, because of what we're doing on,
I'm on YouTube and I do have YouTube premium,
so I don't get interruptions,
but I use YouTube for my business and everything.
And on YouTube,
I Googled royalty free meditation music because if I used what I would
normally use, then I,
it would get shut down if I, if I share this or post it.
Okay.
So in this case, that's what it was.
And but what I normally use, if it's me,
I really like one of my favorites is Dappy,
D-A-P-P-Y, Dappy Keys.
Dappy Keys.
He's a beautiful worshiper.
So if it would, if I was just on my own,
I would probably do that.
Okay.
I'll share some more links later, but that's a quick and easy one.
Okay.
Christine beautiful ushered me into the presence.
That's the goal.
I love that.
Thank you for sharing that, that,
that will happen more and more and more as this becomes habit.
Okay.
What we're going to do right now,
we're going to take a quick 10 minute break.
This is important that you get up and you move,
you drink water.
If there's anything distracting, go deal with that.
If you need to have a little snack,
come back, exactly.
at nine after, that'll be 10 minutes, okay?
Nine after so that we could start sharp at 10 after.
So come back at nine after, okay?
We'll see in just a few.
All right, as we're waiting for everybody to come back,
I would love to hear any takeaways, any ahas,
any breakthroughs just in this first section
and then we're gonna jump right into the next section.
But if you share anything that you experienced
or learned or felt, I'd love to hear it.
Oh, speak it or write it.
Whichever is easier for you.
Oh, I'm finding that five minutes is like,
like I said, it's like long, like it's nice.
Like I can incorporate that and do it.
You've got five minutes, right?
Even five minutes in the morning and five minutes at night
and yet it has such huge effects.
And that's why I purposely kept it
because I had allocated 10 minutes and I thought,
no, if they're new to meditation,
let them just see how good five minutes can be.
It's just like time stands still, right?
I really believe we can stretch time.
And so I love that.
Did anybody else have an experience, an aha,
a takeaway before I start the next section?
I got this great vision.
You ever seen where somebody takes a deck of cards
and goes like this?
Yeah.
No, God did a couple of things.
He said, be still, meaning be who you are always.
Be you always, right?
But then the thing was like,
as you shuffle these cards out,
imagine the people that have might've harmed you
or hurt you and say, forgive, forgive,
forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive.
And then he said, now do it towards yourself.
It's a harder process, right?
So with that and with the word love, I was like, whoa.
So I thought I'd share.
I love that.
Thank you for sharing that.
Yes, yes.
Anybody else got some revelation
or insight or experience or aha?
For me with that verse, I love that verse,
but again, I saw it fresh,
which is this kind of practice, always God speaks fresh.
The be still was just that awareness
is that's the process of surrender
and letting go of all the things
that are currently with you.
Like stop fixing, stop trying to do this, that, or the other
and then, and know, to know, to experience
who does God wanna be to me in this moment?
And I just started to think about
who does God say he is, his names?
And it was just such a powerful experience for me.
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Thank you for sharing.
So good, so good.
Yeah, Victoria, tiny habits make a big impact.
So true, so true.
Okay, well, this is the section two now.
And I skipped over in your notes,
there was in part one, there was the power of intention.
And so you can study that.
Intention is one of the most powerful things we can do
and all of nature responds to our intention.
And so it's, there's the neuroscience again,
there's the scripture, the science, the practice.
I find that, and I meant to do this with you guys
and I didn't, but right at the beginning,
like, so we could still do it right now.
This is a reminder.
What is your intention for this time, this morning?
So whenever I do a coaching session, I always open,
what is your intention?
When I do a breakthrough strategy session
to build someone's business, what is your intention?
What do you want to experience, feel, know, get out of it?
So setting that intention is a really powerful practice
to focus you and orient you.
So you could still do that for today,
even though we're starting in the second section.
And you could do this at the beginning of your practice.
You could do it, I mean, you could do it anywhere.
You could do it at the end of your practice,
setting the intention for the day.
If you're setting the intention for the practice,
do it at the beginning.
Setting the intention for the day,
it goes real well at the end of this
so that you just are ready to go into the day.
So we are in part two of the morning spiritual practice.
this now. And so part two is, so the part one that we did was,
was very opening, let me get grounded, let me get centered,
let me invite the presence of God, let me align my mind and
heart, let's just get really ready. Let's start the day from
a place of peace, from a place of love, like Linda said, from a
place of forgiveness. So that's what's the first part, okay. And
all of that could take 5, 10, 15 minutes. In reality, this is
longer because I'm teaching and there's explaining. So
understand that, you know, you could set the intention in a
minute, you could do two to five minutes of breathing, you could
do five minutes of meditation, one minute of prayer, I mean,
all of this can be condensed into 10, 15 minutes. Or if you
have the time, like, especially my Saturdays and Sundays, I
drag that out because I love it. It's delicious. It's like, you
can wolf down a meal if you got to go. But you also can just sit
down and just enjoy a five course meal. So understand that
it, it can contract and expand. This next part is the things
that I've learned that change your state, that make your day
that sets you up for success. And they're, they're kind of the
second session in the right in the middle is kind of the bang,
diddy, bang, diddy, bang, diddy, bang, kind of like, it's this,
we do this, we do this, we do this, we do this. And it just
like, positions you, it renews your mind, there's new neural
pathways, it gets you like going in the right direction, it gets
you clear. Okay. So the first of those is gratitude. Okay. And
so gratitude. It's, it's more than saying thank you, it's more
than appreciation. It's, it's a posture of the heart. Okay. If
we're in complaining or grumbling, if we're focusing on
what's wrong, that's the posture of the heart. If we're in
unforgiveness, if we're in resentment, if we're in
bitterness, if we're in blame, if we're in shame, those are
postures of the heart. And they're creating a frequency
that your body is is running on. And, you know, I've been
privileged to study frequency, especially over the last 10.
Well, since 2012, especially, um, and I've done it in many
ways I used to before coaching, I had a place where I could take
your saliva. And some of you did this with me and you know it, I
know, Christine probably did this. And it would come back
with very detailed frequency. And it would detect things in
your body even before medical instruments, many, many cases
that happen, um, you're going to see and frequency is not
something weird or new age, it just means wavelength, it means
are the waves going fast? Are they going slow? How high? How
far? It's just basic science. Okay, don't get weirded out by
frequency. But everything our emotions have a frequency. And
below a certain point, I believe it's 250 below 250. It causes
disease in the body, dis ease out of ease, and above and I
teach this when you go in the prosper leader membership, I
teach this in depth, like in the God health and me and in manifest
love, health and prosperity. I don't have time for that today.
But what I know, now there's machines as well. I went to a
friend. She's, she's my, she's my partner in his view, our
nonprofit, which is Linda Brown. And she has her natural
pathic certificate. And she has a like a $2,500 device that
actually, you know, puts on you. And it reads all of your
frequency in every area. And so and it'll tell you nutritionally
what you're deficient in. But I share all of this that I believe
the future of medicine, I believe that we're going to look
at medicine as it is right now is very backwards, scalpels and
burning and radiating. And you're going to begin to see
more and more come in the market, especially as it's
becoming open and not being cut off by the pharmaceutical
industry. You're going to see more and more what can be
treated with frequency and even even the essential oils are
changing a frequency.
I happen to love abundance.
Is that OK?
I got a money tree behind me, and I love abundance.
Is that OK?
So anyway, understanding frequency
is going to become the way of healing as we understand
more and more about that.
So gratitude is something that completely changes
your body's frequency.
It changes your neural pathways, and it changes your frequency.
And so this says gratitude is more than saying thank you.
It's a posture of the heart that shifts your perspective,
rewires your brain, and ushers in joy, that's a frequency,
peace, that's a frequency, the presence of God.
When you look at the highest frequencies,
love, joy, peace, interesting, those
are the fruits of the spirit.
This is all tied together.
All of this fits together.
What's the lowest frequencies in the body?
Shame, that's the very lowest.
Below shame, you die.
So if you're still using shame, if you were taught
you should be ashamed, I'm so ashamed, any of that stuff,
that's got to go, this extremely low frequency
and disease producing.
So there's some text here, some verses.
First Thessalonians 5.18, give thanks in all circumstances.
So part of, especially when I'm in coaching,
and especially in life coaching and business coaching,
it's learning to rise above circumstances and conditions.
You're always going to have circumstances.
You're always going to have conditions.
They're always happening.
The roof leaks, someone gets in a car accident, the dog dies.
I mean, there's just always the money,
something you didn't expect, an expense comes.
It's just life.
We live in a 3D world.
But you, the way that God taught us,
you don't have to be moved by the mountain.
You can move the mountain.
And so the things that I'm teaching you
are how you get where the conditions are no longer
driving you, like a wave, like a storm.
And you are stable.
This is why Jesus carried so much peace.
He could stand in the storm and say, peace, be still.
You can't say that if you're not carrying it.
But when you're carrying it, when
you're in the frequency of peace,
you can say to these things, peace.
You understand?
And so gratitude is one of those things.
So it says, give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will.
Many of you go, I really just want to know God's will.
OK, gratitude is God's will.
Thanksgiving is God's will.
Done deal.
I just told you God's will, right there,
straight from the word, right?
Psalms 104.
So Thessalonians was New Testament.
Paul, Psalms is Old Testament.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
So in the Old Testament, there's a mark
in the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament.
In the Old Testament, the Spirit would come upon people,
a prophet, for a priest, for a reason, for a season.
So the Holy Spirit would come upon.
After Jesus, Jesus said, it's good that I go away.
What we're celebrating tomorrow, he died, he rose.
And we're going to study how we died and rose with him.
We're going to talk about that.
So he said, it's good that I go away.
When he told his disciples he was going to die
and he was going to leave, they were so distraught.
But Jesus could only be in one place at one time, primarily.
Jesus said, it's good that I go away, because if I go away,
one like me, the paraclete, the Holy Spirit,
which that paraclete means comforter, counselor, advocate,
standby, helper.
The paraclete will be in you.
And he will guide you into all truth.
And he will show you things to come.
And so in the New Testament, the Spirit is in us.
In fact, the Bible calls us the temple of the Holy Spirit.
So gratitude, in the Old Testament,
they have the physical temple to try
to get to the presence of God.
It was in an ark and a covenant.
And you went through, you came here, was the sacrifices.
And then you went through.
And if you've never gone through the temple or been there,
I could take you on a meditation that takes you through that.
But you went through these layers
of doors, of tents, of tapestry curtains.
And so you'd get into the.
holy place. And ultimately, you get into the most holy place,
which is where the throne was, was was the Ark of the Covenant
in the presence, talking about frequency, it would be buzzing
the frequency of actually the presence of God, but only the
high priest could go in there, anyone else went in, they would
die. If you touch the Ark of the Covenant, you would die. Okay.
And so, um, that's changed in the New Testament for us, we're
actually supposed to come boldly into his presence, and his
presence is in us. Okay. So, um, this was the old what David had
enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with
praise, that was your first steps to get into the presence
of God. And it's the first steps for us to get into. So these are
steps to get you into the presence. Philippians 4.6, don't
be anxious about anything, but in every situation, those those
words, again, situation, condition, circumstance, with
thanksgiving, present your request. So if you're begging
God, that's not really biblical. And if you keep begging him or
saying the same prayer over and over and over again, it's more a
prayer of doubt than a prayer of faith. So this is when you bring
your situation, present your request, but do it with
thanksgiving. Why? Because it's already done. He's already heard
it. I thank you, God, that you've heard my prayer. What did
Jesus do when he multiplied the fish and the loaves? I thank you
God that you always hear me. Okay, go ahead and distribute
it. Act it out in faith. You see? Okay. So the science there
gratitude activates the brain's reward system. And it increases
dopamine and serotonin, it boosts your mood, it improves
your sleep, it reduces anxiety and depression, it builds
resilience. It also trains your reticular activating system to
notice blessings and opportunities. Ah, what are you
focusing on? This is training your focusing center, your RAS,
your reticular activating system. This is training it to
notice the blessings. Did you know you could be missing the
blessings because you're so busy grumping and focusing and
magnifying the problems that you're actually missing the
blessings that are all around you, you're missing the
opportunities, you're missing the open doors. So gratitude
lets you be aware of the blessings, the open doors,
right? So super powerful. So in the in the prosper daily
journal, okay, and again, if you didn't get this link, it's on
Amazon, we don't make anything Linda designed this beautifully
it was my content, Linda made it amazing. But this if you want to
stay on track, and I know many of you are giving me your
testimonies, how this keeps you on track. There's one for each
day, there's two sides and everything about your life and
businesses in here. So up here on the top left, it says I'm
trying to not make you dizzy here. But there's the prosper
daily plan, the prosper a day keeps the squirrels away. There
you see the recommended times 10 minutes prayer meditation, five
minutes, I am affirmations, five minutes declarations, we're
going to get into all of this, but it's all right there. And
your intention is there your word for the year, then we get
into your daily being on your mission, you know who you serve
staying on track your mark your goal, we get into your method,
how you're going to get there. And then when we're in the
business side, I teach you how to break it into 20 minute
chunks and how to you know, divide it up, you've got your
schedule there, we keep track of some of the important things you
really need in your business, like your number of leads,
calls, sales, those of you in business, place for follow up
place for your wins, this is your evening one that's got a
place for your wins, your lessons and insights, what you
need to forgive, bless release reminders. So everything all in
one place, there's a lot more, there's coloring pages, and
there's calendars, and it's just a beautiful, it's something I've
used, I've used with all my clients for years. That's,
that's there for you. Okay. And so there's a place there,
there's a line for the gratitude. And so then I just do
it fresh every day. And you just start thinking and now, this is
one of the things you can do in your when you're sitting down
like this, or it can do before you even open your eyes. It's a
good one to start your day with to just say, I like to sometimes
I say I love that's a great frequency. Sometimes I say I'm
so grateful, but Oh, look at my roses blooming right now. I love
my roses. Oh, I love my bed. I love my pillow. I love my
I love my dogs. I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful for my home. I'm so grateful for sleep. I'm so grateful for my body. I'm so grateful for health. I'm so grateful for my business. I'm so grateful for my clients. I'm so grateful for God's provision.
The more you do this, this will rattle off your tongue, like your natural language. If you haven't done it, you're like, um, I'm grateful for coffee. Yeah, I'm grateful for coffee.
I'm grateful for, you know, and because it's, it's, it's again, this is a new habit. Okay, so I'm grateful for toenails. Good. Yeah, because if you ever have one broken, oh my goodness.
Okay, so there's exercises there for you to write down. But, you know, really quick just write three things. I'm so grateful for just write three things really quick just to get the, get the thing flowing.
I talked a little bit long I got to catch up some time here.
So, just write down three things that you're grateful for
three things.
I know I always thank God for my health.
Remember what you focus on expands, you get more of it. You focus on what's wrong what's broken what's missing you get more of it.
Focus on lack you get more of it.
So grateful.
Okay.
All right, next page that we're on is the power of I am affirmations.
This is so strong I can't even begin I have a whole chapter in my book on this.
I am is the name of God. Let's start with that.
So Moses comes to the fire, and he gets his life purpose laid out.
And Moses is like who should I say sent me like who am I talking to here in this fire, right.
That's where God chose to reveal himself.
And he said, I am that I am. That's Exodus 314. I am who I am.
And I am is our identity it's our being.
And we're very careless with I am.
I'd like you to be very aware of those sacred words remember we started with consecrated and sacred, be aware of those sacred words and how you use them.
So for example, never never put something after I am that's not true of God, you're made in the image of God, you're bearing the name of God.
Right.
And you're bearing the name of Christ. So,
don't put things after they wouldn't say like don't say sick and tired.
Right. Don't say broke.
After those powerful words of I am.
You follow me.
Everybody following me. Okay, so words shape our identity and our future.
I am is the name of God when you speak I am followed by truth.
I am with God's view of you.
You're declaring what already exists in the spirit, even before you see it.
Don't have time to get into it here but biblical reasoning always starts on the inside, what you see on the outside is a reflection of what's happening inside out of the heart flows the issues of life.
So rivers of living water come out of your inner being there's so much on that. So, what you're seeing on the outside is simply what's been going on on the inside.
Okay, so there's some scriptures there Exodus 314 Proverbs 1821 death and life are in the power of tongue of the tongue.
So, you could speak death or life over your body over your finances over your business over your children over your clients. What are you speaking. Okay.
I like Joel 310 let the weak, say, I am strong. So, let the week, the person is feeling weak.
Nevermind that's a condition let them say, I am strong guess what they're going to become right Romans 117 calls into being things that calls into being.
in things that are not as though they were, okay?
All right, so the science,
repeated affirmations create new neural pathways.
This is neuroplasticity, this is so powerful.
You're literally rewiring your brain, okay?
Speaking positive truth shifts your energy,
emotions, and actions,
and the subconscious starts to begin to accept.
So a powerful affirmation that starts with I am
and combines I am and grateful together,
I am so grateful now that,
and you could finish that sentence
even though it hasn't happened yet.
So for example, I am so grateful now
that I am an international bestseller.
This is a powerful way to combine both gratitude,
I'm so grateful, start with that, I am so grateful.
Get into the state of gratitude.
Gratitude is a feeling, okay?
I'm so grateful now that I am whatever,
international coach, bestselling author, whatever it is,
married to the love of my life,
whatever it is that you want it to be, okay?
So you're going to daily do these I am statements,
and you're gonna say them out loud.
You're gonna write them, then you're gonna say them
when you're getting ready, say them in front of a mirror,
okay, and start to be conscious
with replacing the negative I am statements.
Okay, so real quick, put three I am statements
that are really important, and they could be,
I'm so grateful now that I am.
If you wanna do that one, go ahead and do that,
but take just a minute to do some I am statements,
and then you can keep adding to it, okay?
Let's do that, just take a quick minute.
So I am grateful now that I am.
I am grateful now that I am.
I'm so grateful now that I am
married to my love of my life.
I am a best-selling author, a thought leader,
number one in my field, whatever it is.
And once you've written a couple of them,
if you're muted, we can't hear you, say them out loud.
Say them and tap into the feeling in your body.
I'm so grateful now that we don't hear you.
Don't worry, you're muted.
So after you write it, say it and then feel it.
Feel it.
Practice saying it.
I want to see your mouth moving with passion.
Don't worry, we don't hear you.
I'm so grateful now that I am completely healed.
I'm so grateful now that I am in the top shape of my life.
I'm so grateful.
So you can do basic gratitude.
Thank you, Lord.
I'm so grateful for my home.
I'm so grateful for provision.
So grateful for my healing.
Even before you see it, you may not have the healing yet.
You think of before you see it.
Starts with gratitude.
You may not be a best-selling author yet,
but you keep saying that.
Watch what happens.
I'm so grateful now that I am the founder of a billion-dollar corporation.
And you feel the gratitude as you say it.
I still don't see some of your mouth moving.
Are you guys in rebellion or what?
Okay. All right.
Who had an experience with that?
Anybody notice something doing that?
What changed?
Did you feel your frequency change?
Anybody notice anything?
Yeah. Well, Karen, go ahead.
You're muted, though. You got to unmute yourself.
I used to do affirmations all the time,
driving 20 minutes in and out of work,
and I always set my day, so it's time to restart them.
Go, girl. We celebrate you.
That's awesome.
That's another thing is using your time.
So I talked about before you open your eyes,
you also got time when you're putting on your makeup.
You've got time when you're in the shower.
You've got time when you're driving.
There's a lot of windows of time
that are probably not being consecrated.
They're not being sacred.
They're being through your fingers,
slipping through your fingers.
Did anybody else have an experience with the gratitude?
I felt my frequency increase, Victoria said.
Okay. Anybody else?
Any experiences?
When you share, it helps everybody, and it helps you.
Brenda. Brenda, I could tell that the ones
that really resonated with me, I said,
yay, at the end.
I love that. I love that.
I couldn't see who said that. Who was that?
Oh, Christine.
Oh, hi, Christine. That's so awesome.
Yay. Yeah, you can tell what resonates.
That's so cool.
Let's talk about that for just a second before we move on.
You brought up something super important,
and I used to teach this, Christine,
and seeing your face reminded me.
Okay. So a lot of you may have some doubt issues.
Like, you may say, I'm a best-selling author,
and your brain goes, no, you absolutely aren't,
and you never will be, okay?
We may need to ease into the I am.
It may be too strong for you, okay?
So the way that we do that is we start
with your God-given ability to choose.
So you ease in by saying, I choose.
I choose to be a best-selling author.
I choose to be, you know, top it in my field, whatever, okay?
I choose to be, you start there,
and then move from choice to feeling.
I feel, so I choose to be an international bestseller.
Then get into the feeling.
We can all do this in our image maker,
our God-given imagination.
I feel like an international bestseller, and I take a minute.
This is a good place for visualizing.
What are you wearing?
What are you doing? Who are you with?
I feel like an international bestseller.
I feel like a sought-out speaker.
Once you've done the I choose, which you all can do,
and then you spend a minute to get into the feeling,
then say the I am.
And that will help you ease in the back door
if you're not believing what you're saying
and your brain is trying to block you, okay?
So I'm glad that you said something, Christine.
I know you didn't say that, but you reminded me.
Okay, awesome.
All right, we're going to move to the next page,
which is the declarations, the declarations, okay?
So whereas affirmations start with I am,
declarations start with I will.
So these are the things you're absolutely committed to doing.
So declarations are bold.
They're faith-filled statements of what you will do,
spoken with your divine authority.
Unlike affirmations that declare identity,
declarations speak destiny.
They speak decision.
They speak action.
Do you feel the difference?
So one is about identity,
and one is about your commitment to taking action, okay?
Those of you that work with me in coaching,
you know that the success formula is mindset
plus skillset plus right action equals results.
This is an equation.
Results meaning financial results, health results,
relationship results, business results, okay?
It's a combination of your mindset,
your skillset, and your action.
So you could have a lot of action,
but a really bad mindset,
and you're not going to get the results.
You could have a great day.
great mindset but no action and you're not going to get results. You could have a great mindset
and action but you lack the skill set. That's why I in coaching I'm always we're working on
your mindset, we're working on your skill set, we're working on your action always to get you
the results and that's why we get results so quick. I mean to think that nowadays things
are speeding up so much. I mean I had a client some of you know her she's in the Prosper Leader
membership. I mean we went from I spent 90 days coaching her we went from having nothing she
worked for a company to launching her own consultant business to making six figures
in the first 90 days. Why? Because we did all of this we dealt with the mindset man we had to go
into the mindset we dealt with the skill set and we had clear action and when you do that you can
speed up what could take in the past a year or three years or five years right and everybody's
at a different time not everybody's going to do that some take a year to do that some take three
years to do that so I'm not you know making an income claim or anything but I'm just telling
you that these things really are the game changer spiritually and in your life and business your
success okay so Job 22 28 says you will decree this is like declaration same thing you will
decree a thing and it will be established for you and light will shine on your ways
you see too often we're we're rehearsing rehashing we're meditating on what's broken
missing not working lacking we're talking and making I am statements about what's missing not
working broken you wonder why we're getting stuck right we're not using our God-given authority to
decree the power of life and death is in your tongue you have authority you carry the spirit
of God you have the mind of Christ so you will decree a thing and it will be established for you
and light will shine on your ways okay frequency is light by the way um psalms 118 17 I remember um
my sister-in-law used to declare this over somebody and it was really powerful the first
time I heard this and she used to say it was for him it was you will not die but live but you could
say it over yourself I will not die but live and will proclaim what the Lord has done so if you're
feeling fear around life Isaiah 55 11 so my word that goes out from my mouth will not return
empty you have you have set with your words you've set the sickle that goes and brings
you back the harvest okay uh James 2 17 faith by itself if it's not accomplished by action is dead
so again those three parts so declarations combine clarity with commitment okay they shift your brain
into the action mode so in the prosper daily plan um there is a spot so you can see
you've got the daily practice and then you've got a place right there for three I will statements
that's your three declarations right there the line right before that below that is your gratitude
the line below that is your words for the year um your intention so each of those things are right
there that you're doing every day this is part of your habit you just keeps you on track you take
out your prosper daily planner and boom okay so declarations combine clarity with commitment
shifting your brain into action mode when spoken aloud they stimulate the prefrontal cortex
increasing follow-through do you understand that doing this is going to raise your level of
follow-through if you're not following through because you weren't affirming you weren't
declaring you weren't writing it down you're not following through isn't that interesting
if they boost motivation uh they anchor vision the next level down there's the place for your
vision and mission and they train your subconscious mind to move toward the goal
okay so here what you're going to do you're going to write three I will statements uh so for me I
will write a chapter a day would be an example of this I will walk a mile I will dance at least
three nights a week I will do Pilates I will reach out to three leads so they could be business
they could be help they could be finance so I'd like you to write down three I will statements
really quick here just write
Count three. What are you absolutely committed right now at this season in your business?
What are you absolutely committed to doing? I will. I will. I will.
I will write. I will exercise. I will call 10 leads. I will follow up.
Pick three main ones that are most important right now.
You may have just the I wills for your business separately. I will follow up. I will write.
I will. You may have separate for your personal. I will exercise. I will have a daily spiritual
practice. I will have fun. Whatever it is, make sure. I will. This is the power of your will.
This is what makes you human. God gave you the power of your will. I will. I will.
And if you can tie this in with God's promise, you can see the reflection prompts there.
What promise from God do I need to declare this? So I will restore my health and then
I would have all of God's promises. By his stripes I have been healed. I forget not his
benefits, who heals. So if you back it up with a promise of God, with your I will statement,
it's even stronger. And what fear or doubt comes in? Some of you are so afraid of failing,
you won't make that commitment, but then you're guaranteeing your failure.
So you got to press through that. I will.
One consistent declaration, if you wrote it every day, would really turn the corner for you.
Like for some of you, you're not talking to any leads. You're not talking to any prospects.
I will talk to three prospects. I will talk to five prospects a day could change your life.
Just that one I will or I will follow up. Change your life. I will exercise.
I will exercise. Change your life. I will write every day. Change your life.
So
okay. Can you believe we've almost gone through another hour here? So I got to keep it moving.
Okay. So the next thing we're going to do here
is you notice that there is a place that on your daily planner of what we do every day is we read
for 15 minutes. Okay. We read for 15 minutes. So that can be from scripture. It can be from a book.
It can be both. I'm going to weave in both just so you experience it. So I'm going to read just
for a few minutes before our break. And then we're going to take a break. We're going to come back.
I'm going to open with reading some scripture. And this last hour is really profound. It's where
you're going to go really, really deep. Like we've been just building to it. So we open with how to
center ourself with the breath. We open with the meditation and the prayer. And then we did the
things to rewire our brain and get us on track and gratitude, the affirmations, the declaration,
reading some things to renew our mind. Okay. That's where we are now in part two. And then in
part three, we're going to go deep. You're going to love it. We've got some powerful visualization,
guided meditation, some powerful scripture, some journaling tools. We've got some really goodie,
goodie goodies. So I got to keep us moving. So let me share the screen here real quick.
And I'm going to read for you. This is from my little tiny ebook, The Time Management Secrets
of Jesus. And you guys could put the link in the chat if you haven't read this already.
I have it open to be able to read it. Okay. So The Time Management Secrets of Jesus,
it goes with what we're doing today. So you could put the link in the chat.
All right. So I'm going to read out loud. You could read along with me.
Okay. Does the thought of adding one more thing, including time management, make you
you want to scream? Are you exhausted by the volume of information promising to fix your
business and life? Do they promise you five easy steps to improve your relationships,
organize your life, and grow your income? Are you overwhelmed by the time and effort it takes
to implement this? As a woman who has endeavored to squeeze 20 lifetimes into one, I understand.
If you're looking for another tool, system, or strategy, this is not for you. If your soul
longs for more peace, ease, and grace, then read on. I used to think time management meant making
a long list. I became a master list maker. The problem was, no matter how hard I worked to cross
off all the items on my list, I barely made a dent. In fact, the list kept getting longer.
I now know it would take many people to accomplish everything on my list.
I confused you can have it all with you can do it all. Believe me, I tried. I gave it my
best shot. For over two decades, I ran a nutritional network marketing corporation I'd
co-founded while home educating my three children. On top of that, I led a weekly community Bible
study and high school speech club. This was in addition to going to the gym every day,
keeping morning personal development routine, and managing my home. My schedule also included
nightly speaking engagements and business networking. Perhaps your story is similar.
I don't give up easily, but after two decades of my best effort, I came to the brilliant conclusion
that I cannot do it all. I prayed, and I studied with the best from attending Brian Tracy's advanced
management courses to listening to everything Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn produced. I read Stephen
Covey books. I spent thousands on seminars. I bought planners and calendars. I accounted for
every minute, but still, I felt like a leaky balloon. I would patch one hole, sales were dropping,
and another would spring up. The house was a mess. I would plug those, and two more would spring up.
Kids were lagging in schoolwork. Husband was not happy. How many holes I patched,
more leaks sprung up. I prayed and asked God to help me, and I believe he did. Over time,
I developed skill set strategies and the ability to delete, delegate, and automate many tasks.
I've also gleaned some powerful time management secrets from the life of Jesus.
Perhaps no one had more pressure and demands placed on his time than Jesus. The sick went to
drastic measures to receive his healing touch. The hungry and spiritually famished pressed in
for nourishment. The crowds attempted to keep him from resting. Even his disciples fought
for his time and undivided attention. Jesus lived only 33 years, lived to be only 33 years old.
His public ministry began when he was 30. He had to squeeze a lifetime of ministry, including
raising up and equipping leaders to carry on the vision, into three short years. The life of Jesus
holds time management secrets that transcend time and culture. They contain the keys to living a life
of purpose, peace, and freedom. Let's do a little bit more, and we'll stop. Number one, these are the
different things he did. Number one, values and priorities. He knew how to stay in the present.
In his famous sermon on the mound, Jesus said, so do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry
about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. I have found focusing on tomorrow causes
anxiety and frustration. It creates suffering. Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now says,
as soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins
to flow with joy and ease. It's not that I do not have a vision or a plan for the future. It's that
each day, I dedicate my energy and focus to the most important tasks I can do today. Every morning,
I ask myself this question, what is the single most important action I can take today
to advance in the direction of my goals, dreams, and desires? I'll pause there for a second.
That was my question for, I don't know, over a decade or longer.
I also have combined that with Gary Keller's book,
The One Thing, which ask a similar question,
what's the one thing I can do that by doing it
makes all the other things easier or unnecessary?
So these kinds of powerful questions
will help you make sure that every day
you're truly living that day.
So I asked that question,
what's the single most important action
I can take today to advance in the direction of my goals,
dreams, and desires?
Or what's the one thing I can do that by doing it
will make everything else easier or unnecessary?
And then I do that thing.
Great companies and great lives are built one day
and one action at a time.
In coaching, I found this question to be a great tool
for helping clients focus.
Every morning or the evening before,
instead of feeling overwhelmed by a long to-do list,
they simply focus on accomplishing one thing.
Scripture tells us whatever our hand finds to do,
we should do with all our might.
I agree.
I believe, however, the key is to guide our hands
to do the right thing.
When our hands find many things to do,
it's important we do the thing
that is most in alignment with our goals
and will produce the greatest results.
Okay? So that would be an example.
That was, I don't know what we did,
about seven minutes of reading or less,
but it was poignant, I think.
I'm sorry I wrote it, so I like it.
I'm biased, but could you see in just that few minutes,
I just wanted to grab something easy and practical to read,
there was a sentence that could change your life.
There was a strategy, there was inspiration,
there was realizing Jesus did that.
It didn't take long, five, seven minutes of reading.
I might split reading the Bible
like we're gonna do next after the break
and reading from a book that gives you tools,
tips, strategies, mindset work.
Y'all see how that can work together?
Okay.
Put helpful in the chat if that's helpful.
Let's see what these messages are.
Okay, and there's the link for that time.
It's free if you want the time management secrets
and it comes with a workbook.
Linda made a beautiful workbook for that.
So if you haven't done that, you can get that.
Okay, helpful, very, so good, helpful.
Okay, good.
I'm glad, very helpful.
Okay, we're gonna take our next break.
It's a moving break.
It's a water break.
It might be a snack break.
I'd like you back in eight minutes at nine after the hour.
I'd also like to suggest you may or may not know
to do exercises that reverse.
So we've been sitting in a certain posture, okay?
And it's not good for our health.
So when you stand, there's some things that you can do.
I'm gonna do it sitting for a second.
But one of the things you can do is to open up,
pull your shoulder blades way back,
put your hands right here on your temples, okay?
And then open up and then bring it together.
So you spread out your shoulder blades
and you bring them close together.
You wanna do that every time you've been sitting
at the computer at least five to 10 times.
Your hand is on, your fist is on your temple
and then you're bringing your elbows together and apart.
You're bringing your shoulders close together like this.
And then open those shoulders apart like this.
That's one thing.
I can't show you here, but when I got off last time,
another thing I do, which is for longevity
and to reverse sitting is go do a few
of the deepest squats that you can do.
So you'll build up to this, but ancient countries
like my mother-in-law, Asians,
they sit on their heels all day.
They sit and make food.
They prepare everything in a deep squat.
They live the longest, okay?
We sit like this and we live the shortest.
So do some deep squats, do some breathing.
So go get some water, go move, reverse the sitting.
I'll see you back in a few.
Welcome back.
I put in the chat some YouTube meditations
that I like a lot.
So just people are always asking me some of my favorites.
So these are on YouTube.
Like I said, that's what I usually do.
listen to on YouTube. So YouTube, there's a breathing meditation and the title of it is
10 Minute Meditation and it's by Justin Abraham. So you could search that. It's purely breathing,
but man in 10 minutes you will feel so good. It's just really wonderful. I think it's one of the
best breathing ones I've seen. And then there's a couple by Healing Grace Ministry in Tulsa.
There is a throne room meditation that I really like. It's a little bit longer. It's 27 minutes,
but it is so good. And you could do parts. You could do 15 in the morning and 15 at night or
something like that. And then there is Entering the Love and Oneness of God. It's 19 minutes.
And again, these are Healing Grace in Tulsa. There's quite a few in that one. There's the
Forgiven meditation. So I like those. Then there's also, I didn't write in those, but there's also
some with Mike Parsons. So he's got one like Flowing in Unconditional Love, Embrace Unconditional
Love, Let God Love You, Breathe in God's Love. So he's got a lot of love meditations, Mike
Parsons, P-A-R-S-O-N-S. Those are some I could just recommend, but I can't play them while I'm
recording because they're not, I mean, they're copyrighted. Okay. Thank you, Linda, for putting
that one there. Make it easy for you guys. All right. I don't see all you guys, and this is the
best part. So hurry back. Let me see you. There you are. There you are. There you are. Okay.
Put something in the chat. Are you loving this? Are you getting a lot? Are you blessed? What's
happening for you? Get back on the clock because we are behind here. So, okay. Anybody put anything
in the chat? Let me see. Didn't see anything. Okay. I am great to reset. Good. Yay. It is. It's
so powerful. And this is the day before Resurrection Sunday. So that was the whole purpose of it. Go
into this thing fresh, which is what I'm going to tie into next since tomorrow is Resurrection Day.
And I always do this series right before. A lot to put into a habit. Yeah. You do little bits at a
time, right? So good. You don't try to do everything at once. Don't try to change the world. You just
do one thing at a time. You might just start doing the breathing. And then you might add breathing
and scripture reading. And then you might add breathing and scripture reading and journaling.
And there may be days that you're so busy, you can only do one thing. And that's okay, too. And
there may be days you do it multiple times during the day. You know, I coach a lot on Wednesday
through half day Saturday because I only work a three and a half day work week. And so because of
that, I'm very busy on those days from Wednesday through half day Saturday. And so I carve out a
lunch hour for myself. It's on the schedule. And I particularly love my hammock. I love laying in the
sun in the hammock. It just sparks so much joy. And right now behind me, the lemon tree is in full
bloom. So there's just this floral, you know, smell and the temperature's just right. You look
up at the sky and you see the clouds. But it's very often for me during my lunch break to do a
meditation to just prime myself again. I do my morning routine, but I do, I turn on a quick
meditation and I've got a long list of ones that I listen to. But like 10 minutes, 15 minutes.
And it just, I'm ready to go for the afternoon clients, you know, to be fully primed. So,
and then, you know, there's things you do at night, like being very conscious before you sleep.
Right. So, so yeah, it just do a little bit at a time. Don't get overwhelmed and follow the
Prosper Daily Planner. Just do a little bit at a time. Okay. Let me share some scripture. This
would be under the reading section of reading scripture. So let's go ahead and do that next.
And I think I'm recording correct. All right. So these are some scriptures I just pulled from an
old, when I used to teach this in the five-day series, and I just wanted to grab some of the
verses here. So here's a verse. Are you all seeing the screen? So
Somebody give me a thumbs up.
Yeah?
You see the screen?
OK.
So this is Ephesians 1, 19, and 20, one of my favorite.
Ephesians chapter 1 and Ephesians chapter 3
are two of my favorite chapters.
I love the passion translation.
So forgive the old branding.
This was made 10 years ago.
But I changed the color of the font, at least.
I pray that you will continually experience
the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available
to you through faith.
Just think about that for a minute.
We get to experience God's power in its measurable greatness
through our faith, right?
OK.
And then this one says, my old, this
is Galatians 2.20 in the passion translation.
And this goes with Resurrection Sunday.
This goes with our wrap up session
here as we wrap up this morning.
So my old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah
and no longer lives.
For the nails of his cross crucified me with him.
And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine.
For the anointed one lives his life through me.
We live in union as one.
My new life is empowered by faith
of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave for me
and dispenses his life into mine.
I believe as a church we've lost this concept of oneness
with God.
And we have to get back to it.
And I'm going to encourage that your morning routines are
rekindling that.
So Jesus used the analogy of the branch and the vine.
He's the vine.
We're the branches.
And we're meant to be so interconnected that we
draw the life from the vine.
The vine lives in us.
And we as a branch live in the vine.
And we're one, right?
Jesus' last prayer was, I pray that they will be one.
May they understand, Father, that I'm in you.
You're in me.
I'm in them.
May they be one with each other.
We've lost this sense.
And this meditation is a great time
because when you live in separation,
then life seems outside of you.
God seems far away.
What you think you need and desire
feels like it's far away.
When in truth, if you understand Christ in me, the hope of glory,
when you understand what it says here that my old self died,
I was crucified with Christ.
We could spend a week studying this.
I was crucified with Christ.
So I don't live anymore.
The old me doesn't live anymore because what
Jesus did on the cross.
So now the anointed one lives his life through me.
Should I allow?
So what is this all about taking this morning?
It is that reconnection.
This is not religion.
This is relationship.
This is intimacy.
This is reconnecting.
This is being one.
This is being led by the spirit.
This is the anointed one living his life.
So my new life is empowered.
So the prayer changes.
My prayers change now.
My prayers aren't anymore help me write, help me do this.
My prayers now are live me, Lord.
Write through me.
Teach through me.
Speak through me.
Because I understand I'm the faucet.
He's the living water.
I have myself can do nothing.
The branch that's cut off from the vine is worthless.
Cast in the fire to be burned.
Why?
Because it's dead.
Look at a branch that falls off your tree.
It's dead.
You can't do anything but throw it in the fireplace.
There's no life.
It's dead.
When we are broken off from our source, we're dead.
We're lifeless.
That's why we're burned out.
That's why we're overwhelmed.
That's why we're exhausted.
That's why we're lacking creativity.
That's why we're afraid.
That's why we're in anxiety.
just that's why we're stuck because we're broken off.
We don't have time to reconnect,
to have awareness of our oneness,
to allow God to live us.
Does that make sense?
So I'm assuming that I'm still, okay, good.
All right, let's go to the next one.
This continues, next verse, same chapter, 1 Corinthians.
Actually, yeah, I think it's the same chapter,
just continuing.
So we were co-buried.
Tomorrow we're celebrating this.
We were co-buried and entombed with him
so that when the Father's glory raised Christ from the dead,
we were also raised with him.
We have been co-resurrected.
Co-resurrected.
With him.
So that, I always, when I'm helping my business clients,
you know, we write anything.
That's such a powerful word, you know, buy my stuff.
So that, what's in it for me, right?
So this is for us.
Okay, we've been co-resurrected.
So that, why does it matter?
So that we could be empowered
to walk into the freshness of new life.
We're co-resurrected.
Tomorrow, that's what we're celebrating.
Not just Jesus' resurrection.
We died with him.
We were crucified with him.
He took all our sins.
He said, it is finished.
It is complete.
It is done.
So we could be empowered to walk
in the freshness of new life.
For since we're permanently grafted into him
to experience a death like his,
then we're permanently grafted into him
to experience a resurrection like his.
And the new life that it imparts, next verse,
could it be any clearer that our former identity
is now and forever deprived of its power?
For we were co-crucified with him
to dismantle the stronghold of sin within us
so we would not continue to live one moment longer
submitted to sin's power.
Obviously, a dead person's incapable of sinning.
And if we were co-crucified with the anointed one,
we know we will also share in the fullness of his life.
And we know that since the anointed one
has been raised from the dead to die no more,
his resurrection life has vanquished death
and its power over him is finished.
By his sacrifice, he died for sin's power once and for all,
but he now lives continuously for the father's pleasure.
So let it be the same way with you.
Since you're now joined with him,
you must continually view yourself
as dead and unresponsive to sin
while living daily for God's pleasure
in union with Jesus, the anointed one.
So we opened as to the why of doing what we're doing,
having this morning's spiritual practice.
It's about having the awareness.
It's about reconnecting.
It's about reuniting
so that Christ's life is flowing through us.
We're not trying to do this in our own strength, right?
Some of you know the King James Version,
I'm crucified with Christ.
Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ in me.
You see, I am crucified with Christ.
Nevertheless, I live, yet not I.
It's not me living anymore.
It's not you living anymore, but Christ in me.
Do you see this?
That's the purpose of all this.
It's the awareness of Christ in us, Christ in us.
So I'd like to do a little meditation right now.
So go ahead and just get grounded.
We're gonna do a little guided visualization.
Just get grounded, and I'm going to put some music on.
hopefully you can still hear me. Let's see.
Okay, what I need really quick is a thumbs up. Can you hear me with the music
in the background? Give me a thumbs up. Yes. Can everybody hear me? Okay. Okay.
All right. So with your feet on the ground, we're going to do our breathing.
And I'm going to take you on a little journey. So let's breathe in. Yaw. Breathe
out way. Do that two or three times right now. Fill your lungs with the breath and
spirit of God. And then release everything with the breath. Maybe remind
yourself of the practice, lean in and say, I'm in you. Lean back and say,
you're in me. We are one. I'm in you. You're in me. We are one. So I want you
to imagine yourself right now sitting in a movie theater. And you're in one of
those great big comfortable movie chairs, the overstuffed ones. You're so
comfortable, you're so tucked in, you're so held. And you're looking at the huge
screen in front. It's a beautiful thing you see on the big huge screen. It's a
nature scene. There's a beautiful kind of pond lake, just the most beautiful
crystal blue, surrounded by green grass and wild flowers. You can see the wild
flowers, different colors, pink, yellow, red. The sky is so blue above your head
and the clouds are so puffy. And when you look at this picture, you realize you are
there. You see yourself. You're standing by this water. And you're smelling the
wildflowers. It's the sweetest sense. And you're feeling the breeze. It's almost
caress your skin. It touches you lightly. And the warmth of the sun warms your body
and it warms your heart. And you take off your shoes to feel the grass under your
feet. It's cool, a little bit wet. And you see Jesus standing on the water. And
he's looking straight at you. You see love in his eyes. You feel love emanating
from him. You feel a magnetism drawing you. And he motions to you. He says,
Come on. I'm in the water. You stick your toes, it's kind of muddy, kind of
cold. He says, Come on. Come on. And you go a little further to your ankles. It's
cool, but it's refreshing. A little bit of rocks under your feet and you keep on
going. He's calling you. You know you have to keep going. He's calling you. He's
saying, Come. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden. Come. Come.
And he just keeps calling you and his gesture and his eyes and his love and his
warmth. He's just calling you. You don't know how deep this is.
But you keep on going, you get up over your belly, you're closer to him, go up to your
shoulders, you're closer, and he says, here we go, take my hand, and he takes your hand,
and he says, we're going under, hold your breath, let's go, he grabs your hand, you
take a breath, and you go under, and it's just still, and silent under, you wonder how
long you can hold your breath, but it's the most peaceful you've ever felt, and you feel
something happening, the water is washing you, not just physically, but you feel things
coming off of you, you literally feel like fear coming off of you, you fear, doubt is
coming off of you, anxiety is coming off of you, depression is like, it's like you're
being washed, not just physically right now, but spiritually, it's like everything's coming
off of you, and you're looking at his face underwater, you've never seen such love, such
warmth, you want to stay under there forever, it's like heaven, and then he points up, and
he says, let's go, and you both jump up, and you come up out of the water, and it's the
freshest, freest, cleanest, brightest you've ever felt, the heaviness got left behind,
the woulda, coulda, shouldas, they're in the water, the fear, the doubt, the anxiety, it's
as if it doesn't even come to mind anymore, all you feel is warmth, all you feel is love,
all you feel is peace, all you feel is held, and you feel him wrap his arms around and
pull you in, and he holds you so tight, it's the warmest, most loving, most amazing hug
you've ever experienced in your life, warmer than any earthly hug you've ever had, and
you notice something, his life is merging into yours, it's like you can't describe it,
he's no longer on the outside of you, you're aware of his presence, he's still there, but
he's in you, you look around, you don't see him, he's not out there, he's in you, there's a
solidness, there's a warmth, there's a joy that passes understanding, a peace that passes
understanding, a wisdom, a power, you start making your way out of the water, and you just
need to take this in, you find a spot to sit on the thick green grass, think about David,
how he leads you besides still waters, and he makes you lie down in the grass, you look up and
you see the puffy white clouds, the blue sky, you feel the sun just radiating you on the outside,
and you feel the sun vibrating and radiating on the inside, and you get it, for the first time,
you get it, you're not alone, he never leaves you, he never forsakes you, you get it, you went under
the water with Christ, and you came out with Christ, you died with Christ, you rose with Christ,
you were baptized with Christ, and now, he lives in you, and you in him.
You get it for the first time.
Like David, when he got it and he said, where can I go that you are not?
You actually feel it for the first time.
You
sense it.
You
know it.
You're a new creation in Christ.
The old has passed away.
The new has come.
Christ in me, the hope of glory.
And you take out your journal.
You say, speak, Lord. I don't want to ever forget this moment.
I finally get it. The crucifixion wasn't just about you. Yes, you bore the sins of the world.
But you rose and the resurrection wasn't just about you.
It was about me. I'm alive. I'm alive.
I'm alive.
I'm no longer dead in my sins.
I'm no longer separated. I'm no longer lost. I'm no longer alone. I felt alone for so long.
I'm alive. I'm seated in high places with you.
In you, I live and move and have my being.
I get it.
I feel it. I sense it. I understand it.
I know it.
From this day forward,
I'll never be the same.
Thank you, Lord.
How can I ever repay
your grace?
I didn't do anything to deserve this.
You took the nails.
You took the weight of sin.
You said it's finished. Case closed. End of subject.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you.
And with that, I want you to begin to wiggle your arms and toes and
come back for just a second, and I want you to take out your journal,
and I want you to have a conversation with God and
write about
what you've experienced.
So in the journal, you can thank God for what you experienced. You can ask him questions about what you experienced.
Whatever the Lord's putting on your heart,
this is intimate time.
Your journal is your conversation with him.
Talk to him.
Open to him.
Ask him what you've been wanting to ask.
What you've been wanting to know.
Ask him to show you. Ask him to reveal. Ask him to open your eyes.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Amen.
♪♪♪
And I begin to wrap it up.
♪♪♪
I
would love to hear if there's anything you want to share real
quick and breakthroughs who had a really deep experience as a
result of this. Did this open up some things for you? Did God
show you some things? I did not go into describing how I
journal, but I will tell you here real quick. I use two gel
pens. I write in pink, my questions, my praise, my
conversations to God. I write to him in pink. And then I change
to purple. And I let God right through me. And that journaling
and go ahead and mute yourself, Karen. That is the most powerful
part of my morning practice. I do not even often read it that
day. I come back to it and read it days later, a week later. And
I come back and I read it a month later, and three months
and six months. And I begin to see how God is always showing
me like the Holy Spirit. It says the Holy Spirit guides us into
all truth and shows us things to come. Revelation will flow
through you. There's two kinds of word, right? There's the
written word, which is logos, which is the Bible. And there's
the Ramo word, which is the revealed word that John chapter
14 through 17 talks about the Holy Spirit will show you things
to come will guide you into all truth and etc. And so this is
the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to write through you. And
that is the most powerful part of my spiritual practice. If I
only have time to meditate, maybe read some word and then
journal. It's powerful spiritual practice. Okay? So you don't
need to beat yourself up if you don't do every single thing
every time let the Holy Spirit lead you. These are the tools
that are available for you. Let's see. Did anybody write
anything? I don't see anything. Did you guys anybody have a
powerful experience that I want to share something important?
Go ahead, Karen, go ahead.
I just, that was so powerful. I could feel and see everything.
And when Jesus and me came together, I felt whole. And I
felt I mean, then I like write journal like mad like, like I
could write for days right now.
A big part after this, keep going. It's still fresh. Yeah,
we're gonna wrap up. Keep going.
The biggest thing for me is why am I trying so hard? It's right.
He's right. Good. So this will break the, you know, the name of
my book. Give you guys a sneak peek. It's gonna look something
like this total soul prosperity. And there is an opening scene.
Where God speaks to me in a church. And he tells me to cast
out the slave woman. And I come to realize that slave woman in
me is exactly that Karen, it's the striving. It's the
sacrificing, it's the stressing, it's the perfectionism. And God
is God is setting us free. My whole book is dedicated to that.
That's the total soul prosperity. It's moving from the
striving and sacrificing and stressing the total soul
prosperity.
One of the little thing is I kept giggling.
Oh, I love that. You got the joy of the Lord. I love that. I love
that.
People and that joy is right there. I
I love that. Thank you for sharing. That is so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing. Karen wrote, Wow, I felt whole to and
perfect in God's eyes. Thank you for the spiritual and loving
space. Happy and blessed Easter to you all. Okay, I want to
invite you to a couple things. So stay with me for a few
minutes. We'll finish exactly at the top of the hour as I
promised. I want to invite you first of all, if you're not yet
a
member of the Prosper Leader membership. In 2020, when COVID
hit, God spoke to me very clearly. And he said, we are not
those who draw back in fear. And he said, I want you to gather
the women. And he showed me women linking arms, and almost
carrying each other across their personal finish line. And what
God has done since 2020, in the Prosper Leader membership,
blows my mind. And so, no, that's not the link that I want,
Nicole, it should be, there it is, Bitly Prosper Leader,
because I want to give them the discount. So ignore the VIP
upgrade and do the one Linda just placed in there. And so let
me tell you about it. And then I want to offer you a discount
that's only for you that are here. Many of you are already
members. And so of course, one of the benefits is you get all
these things free, right? So whereas everybody else paid
$45, which was already 50% off of the 97, you as a Prosper
Leader member, get my courses for free. And you get all access
to all the online courses. So I want to show you around really
quick. And I want to invite you on because it is so powerful
what God is doing in this season right now, the way the
collaboration that's happening, the encouragement, the
accountability. So this is the Prosper Leader membership, if
you've never seen it before. And it has several things that it
accomplishes. First of all, you have all access pass to my
courses, okay, live and online. So there's things to help you
with your craft and your trade. So for example, there is the
successful sales conversation. There's a three hour master
class and a two hour encore. Over and over and over my
clients tell me they listen to this. And then a month or two
later, they listen again in a month or two and they get sales
heart centered non spammy sales like this just always works. And
then same for follow up the fortune is in the follow up. So
there's things to help your craft, how to use AI to save
time. And then there's things to grow your faith like the five
day partner with God in business or like the God money and me, or
this, Christine will tell you she was part of it. This sold
for 10 years for $4,200 3997 3997 you have access I need to
log in so that that's why it says access with account. But
you have access to all of these things. The things I talked
about understanding frequency and your health and the
scripture and the science and the strategy, the jumpstart
class personal growth, there's Bible studies in here, really
powerful Bible studies, one of them is the four agreements.
It's a it's a book that's written in the Toltec tradition
that has a lot of biblical wisdom. So I went ahead and did
a Bible study on it. So there's, there's Bible studies, here's
harnessing your spiritual power, here's faith, there's there's
health, there's relationships, there's coach training, how to
hear God's voice for what we did today, another, you know, deep
Bible study. So there's access. But then there's the live
things, which is where this really kicks in twice a month,
we do a live coaching mastermind networking. And during this
time, we break out into one on one private rooms, and you get a
prosper sister, that you get to know more deeply until the next
call. So every call, you get a new prosper sister. And then I
do teaching, we do hot seating, I let you know what's happening
in the market, I let you know, I mean, the bottom line is
building a profitable faith integrated business. And then
this has really taken off, I think this might be the most
popular these days. Every Thursday morning at 9am, I do an
office hours. And that's the place you can bring your
questions, what you want me to look at your business, you can
get feedback from the other members you can get from me. And
I'm always bringing, you know, real and raw stuff of what's
happening in the market that's relevant right now. Like this
last week, I did hot seating. And we just let each member just
Step up and let's deal with your toughest problem right now
and let's get a breakthrough."
And it was powerful.
So all of them go online afterwards, okay?
So you have access to the monthly coaching,
the weekly office hours,
all access pass to all the materials.
And when I do live courses like this one,
whereas others people pay,
yours is free as a Prosper Leader member.
So I wanna invite you,
and I believe I've been hopefully sharing the screen,
correct, this whole time?
Okay.
Sometimes I forget to share the screen
and then you didn't see anything.
Okay, so let me stop sharing.
Let me come back to you.
Normally it's 197 a month or 1997 for the year.
For those of you that are here today,
you can save $100 a month.
So it's only 99 a month, okay?
Or 997 instead of 1997 for the year, okay?
So the link is there in the chat.
That's the first thing I want to invite you.
And thank you, Victoria.
I'm looking at what you put.
Love you.
Okay, so that's the first thing I wanna invite you to.
The second thing is if you would like support
in your business or in your life,
I do a blend of life coaching
because everything I do is scripture science and strategy.
So whether you're trying to grow
through struggles in your life
or you're trying to grow your business,
to me, it's all one in the same.
It's all woven together.
We grow you, we grow your business.
There's a link.
So the back page of your study guide
has links there for you.
There's the Prosper 90-Day Planner
that I've been working through with you.
There's the Time Management Secrets of Jesus.
And you can schedule a call with me, a free call.
Let's talk about where you are,
where you've been wanting to get,
what's holding you back, what do you need support?
And I can point you to the resources
or if coaching is appropriate,
I can point you to the coaching.
I do one day business breakthrough strategy sessions
where in one day we get you absolutely clear.
So there is the link to schedule a call with me.
If you would like to do that,
I make myself available to you.
The last thing is I'm going to send you a,
I'm gonna pray and I'm gonna send you a survey.
So we're gonna close in prayer.
I'm gonna send you a survey, how you enjoy this.
This testimony helps other people enjoy it in future years.
You notice that in some of the emails I sent,
I took people from previous years and put their testimony.
So I'd love to hear what you loved, what you didn't like,
what you'd love to see more of.
So you're gonna be getting, watch,
you're gonna be getting a little quick survey
about this call.
And I'd just love to hear from you.
If you wanna schedule a call, I'd love to hear from you.
I would really love to have you as a Prosper Leader member.
God is just doing amazing things,
amazing things in the Prosper Leader membership.
It's stuff that only God could do.
Only God could do the connections
that are happening right now
in the Prosper Leader membership.
So I wanna encourage you to join
and get access to those things.
We're gonna close in prayer.
And can you believe it?
God kept us exactly on time.
So did you get a good sense
of how you can have a powerful morning spiritual practice?
The different parts of it, how I do it,
how you can do it too.
We consolidated all of that into a few hours.
My prayer is that your intimacy level with God
is gonna go through the roof as a result of this.
That's my prayer.
And so I love you.
I'm so grateful that you're here.
Thank you, Karen.
This was great.
Got so much.
And now you know how to use your planner more.
But in the Prosper Leader membership,
there's teaching to use the whole planner as well.
We did the spiritual practice.
So I love it, love it, love it.
Okay, let's, good.
It's a cord plugging into the electrical outlet.
Good, I hope you're plugged back in, Sharon.
It's good to see you.
Thanks for posting that.
Blessings to you.
All right, let's close in prayer.
Father God, I thank you for this time.
I ask that you seal it with.
your Holy Spirit.
I ask that you move mightily in every person's heart
that is listening to this live or to the replay.
I pray that you will touch them deeply.
I pray they will reconnect as the branch with the vine.
I pray that you will just bless them.
You will prosper them physically, emotionally,
relationally, spiritually.
I pray for divine breakthrough.
You are Jehovah Valparaisim.
I pray for divine breakthrough.
I pray for divine provision
that you will open the flow of their resources.
I pray for supernatural wisdom and revelation.
I pray that they begin to have dreams and visions from you.
And Lord, I just pray abundant blessings
on every person represented here.
Let your spirit flow mightily.
We give you all the glory.
We love you.
We worship you.
In Jesus name, amen.
Amen.
All right, thank you for being here today,
spending your Saturday morning with me.
It's been my pleasure.
Those of you that are here live or Saturday afternoon.
And I pray this bless to you.
I can't wait to read your surveys.
Can't wait to have calls
and can't wait to have some of you
as brand new.
Many, many of you are already Prosper Leader members,
but those of you who are not, I so encourage you.
It's the deepest thing you can do
to be connected to like-minded sisters,
to get the coaching, to get the courses,
to just get the support.
So God ordain this, it's moving forward,
and I'm so grateful.
So we'll see you at the next
Prosper Leader member meeting, all right?
Love you.
God bless.
Until next time.
