1
00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:05.980
And good morning, good morning, good morning.

2
00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:07.320
Happy Wednesday.

3
00:00:07.820 --> 00:00:10.880
And if it's Wednesday, that means it's Prosper Power Hour.

4
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:17.180
And if it's Prosper Power Hour, that means we get our fresh promise, our fresh principle,

5
00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:21.480
our fresh prayer, our fresh practice, right?

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.560
15 minutes of each of those every Wednesday for Prosper Leader members.

7
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:29.540
And of course, all the previous calls are recorded.

8
00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:35.520
They are in the Prosper Leader membership site, membership.prosperandallthings.com.

9
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:43.380
And of course, that's a treasure trove, it's a vault of resources to grow you, grow your

10
00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:44.320
faith, grow your business.

11
00:00:44.660 --> 00:00:46.500
So welcome, welcome, welcome.

12
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.580
And let's see, I've got many of your cameras are hidden as you're getting ready.

13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.220
And Len, you're front and center here.

14
00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:58.580
Let me pin me that way.

15
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:01.260
So excited.

16
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:10.180
And I appreciate your kind comments, talking about what this has meant to you and how powerful

17
00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:16.340
it is to come together and to integrate God's word and to go deep.

18
00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:19.080
We don't like to swim in the shallow side.

19
00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:20.600
We love going deep.

20
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.140
And I think you're going to like this today as well.

21
00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.680
I'm super excited.

22
00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:31.360
You know, today, we're not talking about positive thinking.

23
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.620
Many people mention positive thinking.

24
00:01:35.080 --> 00:01:42.420
We're talking about possibility thinking, big difference, possibility thinking.

25
00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:54.340
And what happens when the power of God and not our circumstances become our focus, our

26
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:56.460
reference point, right?

27
00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:00.460
So possibility thinking, you see, there's a contrast.

28
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.000
Fear always contracts, I want you to understand that.

29
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.940
Whenever fear tries to knock on your door, and if you let it in, it contracts, it contracts

30
00:02:12.940 --> 00:02:13.460
your body.

31
00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:15.940
Think about what happens in your body when you're afraid.

32
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:21.280
All the blood leaves the extremity, goes to the very center of your being to conserve,

33
00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:22.180
right?

34
00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:25.380
The mind contracts, right?

35
00:02:25.380 --> 00:02:32.200
So when we walk in fear, our possibility thinking contracts.

36
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:39.100
And just seeing the big picture, instead, we contract and we play small.

37
00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:42.800
And I've been so, so blessed this week.

38
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:51.000
Those of you who attended the Profit with Peace Masterclass, it was really a powerful

39
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.500
step in awareness using the Prosper Time Budget.

40
00:02:56.920 --> 00:03:00.740
And many of you had 15-minute calls with me afterwards.

41
00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:07.180
And what we experienced in those 15 minutes is exactly what we're talking about here and

42
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:08.720
what we're going to see in scripture.

43
00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:13.160
For many women, they had contracted.

44
00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:22.200
Their circumstances, their circumstances had overwhelmed them.

45
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:30.780
And as the circumstances became more in the limelight, then hope began to shrink.

46
00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:38.640
And scripture says that hope deferred makes the heart sick.

47
00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:41.060
It dries out the bones.

48
00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:42.680
Hope deferred.

49
00:03:42.980 --> 00:03:47.420
But it says, wishes or desires, we did desires last week, right?

50
00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:52.060
So true biblical desires, desires fulfilled are the tree of life.

51
00:03:52.220 --> 00:03:58.900
So there's that contrast, that contrast between fear contracting and focusing on the mountain

52
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:05.860
in front of us and faith and possibility thinking that focuses on not how big the mountain is,

53
00:04:05.880 --> 00:04:07.480
but how big our God is.

54
00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:10.820
And that's the miracle zone, right?

55
00:04:10.820 --> 00:04:14.940
And so fear contracts, faith expands.

56
00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:19.000
And faith expands our capacity.

57
00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:26.240
You hear me talk about capacity often because it's not talked about.

58
00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:27.660
I don't ever hear that.

59
00:04:28.700 --> 00:04:31.280
I don't hear conversations about capacity.

60
00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:40.460
And this is the size of the vessel of the container, right?

61
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:43.060
We're the temple of the Holy Spirit.

62
00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:44.800
We're a vessel.

63
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:51.700
And the capacity is the size of what can God in infinite, right?

64
00:04:51.940 --> 00:04:57.040
God is infinite love, infinite potential, infinite possibility, infinite wisdom, infinite

65
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:57.660
abundance.

66
00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.980
God in his infinite.

67
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.520
this wants to pour into us and a contracted vessel can receive

68
00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:14.120
very little. When I used to teach classes live, I used to

69
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.780
have people like hold a sponge. Imagine holding a sponge and

70
00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:25.300
just clench your hands so tight. How much can that sponge receive?

71
00:05:27.260 --> 00:05:32.180
Contrary to expand your hands and the sponge can just fill up

72
00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:39.100
our capacity is the same and so faith expands our capacity

73
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:42.320
instead of asking God, please give me more money. Give me

74
00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:45.740
more divine appointments. Give me a man whatever it is we're

75
00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:49.980
praying. Give me healing. We can pray those things but I

76
00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:52.820
think an even bigger prayer that God wants us to pray or

77
00:05:53.120 --> 00:06:01.960
pray is God expand my capacity. Expand my capacity and there's

78
00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:05.620
a lot of references in scripture. You can think about

79
00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:12.040
the parable of putting new wine into old wine skins. That's a

80
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.540
capacity story because if you put new wine in an old wine

81
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:20.400
skin, it's contracted, it's hard, it's fixed and so when

82
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:23.820
the wine ferments and expands, it just busts the whole thing.

83
00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:27.340
We can't contain it. Same thing what happened with us. If we

84
00:06:27.340 --> 00:06:31.020
have not expanded our capacity, the blessings God wants to pour

85
00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:37.280
in just we blow up and you see that in real life examples. You

86
00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:41.140
see when somebody goes from being completely poor and they

87
00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:45.220
win the lottery or they whatever become a rock star or

88
00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:48.040
movie star or whatever and if they have not expanded their

89
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:52.040
vessel and their capacity, there's cracks, there's leaks.

90
00:06:52.320 --> 00:06:57.620
They lose it as fast as they get it, right? So as we go into

91
00:06:57.620 --> 00:07:02.980
Christmas and the holiday season, I really saw this in

92
00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:06.980
what we're going to look at today, which is Luke chapter

93
00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:09.300
one. That's where we're going to find our promise and our

94
00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:13.420
principle and our praise is going to be Luke chapter one

95
00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:18.440
and so, you know, I want to say that most people are not

96
00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.140
blocked by lack of effort but by really a constricted or I

97
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:27.760
like to say a constipated belief and so what I saw

98
00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:30.780
happening telling my story with profit with peace is I was

99
00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:35.380
doing these 15 minute calls and one of the things I would do on

100
00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:40.880
the call is have them become aware of what's in their hand in

101
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:43.760
the Bible. One of the first things that God always asks is

102
00:07:43.820 --> 00:07:47.720
what's in your hand because we have a tendency if we're

103
00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:51.900
contracted to minimize what God has given us to work with and

104
00:07:51.900 --> 00:07:54.620
he always starts with the seed. He always works with the small.

105
00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:57.900
We don't just have like a Rolls Royce drop from the sky,

106
00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:05.060
right? He starts with a seed and we often kind of minimize

107
00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:08.080
that seed. He starts. That's why the Bible says, do not

108
00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:13.660
despise small things and so we have to understand that he

109
00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:16.660
starts with the seed and so you see this in scripture all over

110
00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:20.060
the place. You see the woman that was contracted in fear

111
00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:24.520
because her husband who was a prophet died and left her deep

112
00:08:24.520 --> 00:08:27.620
in debt right now. Many people are dealing with debt so you

113
00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:31.240
can relate to this story. Her debt was even more serious.

114
00:08:31.380 --> 00:08:34.159
They didn't just come after you. They could take your

115
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:40.620
And so this woman approaches the prophet Elijah and saying,

116
00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:44.240
you know, my husband was a good man, a prophet, but he's left

117
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.900
me in this deep debt and they're going to take my

118
00:08:46.900 --> 00:08:49.600
children away. Every word coming out of her mouth was

119
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.480
fear. It was contracted. It was constricted, right? And so

120
00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:56.960
Elijah immediately asked the same thing that Jesus asked

121
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.420
that God asked Moses the same question. What's in your hand,

122
00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:06.520
right? And she answered in a contracted state, only a little

123
00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:11.020
oil, only a little oil, right? We minimize. It's nothing. It's

124
00:09:11.020 --> 00:09:15.880
just a little oil and we see the end as like our current

125
00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:18.940
circumstance just continuing into the future and so we

126
00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:22.920
despair and we lose hope and so then we start trying to figure

127
00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:26.720
out how we can ration our little oil and we start thinking

128
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.820
small and we stop dreaming and this is what happened with

129
00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:34.580
many of the people. I'm sad to say that's what I saw on many

130
00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:38.900
of the 15 minute calls, but I'm elated to say that in 15

131
00:09:38.900 --> 00:09:42.580
minutes, everything changed because we looked at what's in

132
00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:46.260
your hand and I can think about like one of the last calls I

133
00:09:46.260 --> 00:09:48.960
had. I mean, like all of the calls, these women are

134
00:09:49.180 --> 00:09:53.600
brilliant. I mean, there's so much gold in them and so we

135
00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:56.900
go, well, what's in your hand? And in her case, you know,

136
00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:59.640
she's got a degree in journalism. She was working as

137
00:09:59.640 --> 00:09:59.980
a journalist.

138
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.040
us. So we've got writing in our hands. She was she's certified

139
00:10:04.040 --> 00:10:07.680
as a health and life coach. And so and she's got experience

140
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:12.420
coaching, and she's made money coaching in the past. And so all

141
00:10:12.420 --> 00:10:17.140
these things kind of got buried as circumstances seem to just,

142
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.820
like cause a contraction, right? And this happens to all of us,

143
00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:25.820
there's no judgment. And so the key is, you know, instead of

144
00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:28.560
looking at the size of the mountain, the Bible says, say to

145
00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:32.260
that mountain, be thou removed, we're looking at our God, who's

146
00:10:32.260 --> 00:10:34.860
given us the power of life and death in our tongue, who's

147
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.640
given us, you know, the Holy Spirit in us, the mind of

148
00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:45.240
Christ, you know, and so we change and we expand as we as we

149
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.880
began to see things differently. And so this past week, hope was

150
00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:54.920
restored. These calls were incredible hope, like you

151
00:10:54.920 --> 00:11:00.440
literally saw the lights go on. In fact, one woman who gave me a

152
00:11:01.020 --> 00:11:05.040
testimony described that another brilliant woman PhDs, master's

153
00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:10.260
degrees, like a brain like none other, and she lost her job and

154
00:11:10.260 --> 00:11:14.500
wasn't getting another job. And so she was contracted and just

155
00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:18.780
waiting, waiting on a job. And I said, what's in your hand?

156
00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:23.540
Anyway, same exercise, she wrote her testimony. And if you're in

157
00:11:23.540 --> 00:11:26.540
the Total Soul Prosperity Facebook group, which I

158
00:11:26.540 --> 00:11:29.620
recommend you are, it's a it's a hop in beautiful community,

159
00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:35.100
Total Soul Prosperity in the Facebook community. And we wrote

160
00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:40.940
her her testimony, right. And her testimony, what she said is, I

161
00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:46.200
feel like I've been in a dark, a dark hallway, and a door is open

162
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.620
to the blinding light, and my eyes are still adjusting to the

163
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:55.000
Like, this is what we're talking about today. Because in a dark

164
00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:00.820
world, the Christmas story in a dark world, a dazzling, glorious

165
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.300
blinding light arrived as a small thing, in the form of a

166
00:12:05.900 --> 00:12:10.100
child in a manger, right. So these these small, humble

167
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.820
beginnings, and so we're going to talk about that today, I

168
00:12:12.820 --> 00:12:15.840
think you're going to get a fresh, fresh breath, I think,

169
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:22.640
from the Christmas story that we are going into. So before I

170
00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:26.680
jump full into it, you guys got me excited. And I just kind of

171
00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:30.100
gave you a little little monologue there. Little faith

172
00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:34.780
monologue, faith log, how about that little faith log? So do we

173
00:12:34.780 --> 00:12:40.620
have any praise reports? And do we have any prayer requests? And

174
00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:43.080
you know, welcome, Christy, I didn't greet you, I see that

175
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.640
you're here. And you guys don't have your cameras on, but I see

176
00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:50.500
you all. So, you know, again, welcome, Charla and Bev and

177
00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:55.980
Melanne and Christy by Christy. Do we have any praise reports?

178
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.400
Let me open up my chat. I did not do that. So I can't see if

179
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:07.340
you're chatting with me. And, um, okay, so, um, all right, so

180
00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:11.500
we need to also be praying for Bev. It looks like she's having

181
00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:17.500
high winds there in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and surrounding

182
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:22.620
areas, power outages, no school today. So yeah, let's, let's

183
00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:25.020
pray for all the people that are going to face this kind of

184
00:13:25.020 --> 00:13:29.920
harsh weather. And I'm glad that you put that in the chat. Did I

185
00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:33.100
miss anything else? And so you could unmute if you have a

186
00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:35.780
prayer request, or you can pop it in the chat. But we want to

187
00:13:35.780 --> 00:13:41.020
make sure that today we cover that in prayer and also that we

188
00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:45.200
celebrate the answers to prayer. So any praise reports

189
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.520
and any prayer requests before we dive into our promise of the

190
00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:51.000
week?

191
00:13:52.200 --> 00:14:00.800
I have a lot of actually praise reports. I just, um, I did just

192
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:04.360
get over being sick. But besides that, I mean, the bigger picture

193
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:13.100
is what God's doing in my healing. And he, I went to my

194
00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:18.920
oncologist yesterday. And my numbers keep going down with the

195
00:14:18.920 --> 00:14:23.460
testing, which is awesome. But the tumor is actually completely

196
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:29.180
gone. Same as you know, it's Yeah, so that's huge. And I'm

197
00:14:29.180 --> 00:14:31.480
praying for you, even when you couldn't make it here, Christy.

198
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:36.740
Thank you. I'm so excited to hear. Yeah. So it's really,

199
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:40.880
really good. And he, he actually said to me, I know, this was

200
00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:44.060
totally the Holy Spirit guiding him, because they were going to

201
00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:46.480
do a completely different treatment on me, which was going

202
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:52.260
to be highly aggressive. And he, when I came in for the

203
00:14:52.260 --> 00:14:57.560
treatment, this was back in September, he said, you know, I

204
00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:59.980
just really feel like that's not the way to

205
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.940
I just really feel like we need to go this way.

206
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.240
And you know, and he explained why he said, I feel like this is what's going to do it.

207
00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:16.420
And he said yesterday, last week, they came out with a study on breast cancer.

208
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.960
And the exact treatment that he gave me was in that study.

209
00:15:21.640 --> 00:15:22.240
Wow.

210
00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:30.120
So I just, I just see God's, you know, hand in, in every piece of my journey.

211
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.800
And I just keep looking up because it's like, they say it's going to be this, but I said,

212
00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:37.320
well, God says it's going to be that, you know?

213
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.520
And so it's, it's pretty, pretty amazing.

214
00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:47.680
We're still, you know, walking through some stuff, but it's, it's amazing to see the Lord

215
00:15:47.680 --> 00:15:50.320
working in the way that he is through everyone.

216
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.480
Oh, we just celebrate that.

217
00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:53.480
We celebrate that.

218
00:15:53.760 --> 00:15:54.620
We celebrate the Lord.

219
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.760
We celebrate the Lord in you, Christy.

220
00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:58.380
We celebrate your faith.

221
00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:04.880
You've been such a beautiful model of what it looks like, because you always have two

222
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:05.760
reports, right?

223
00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:10.340
You've got the initial doctor's report or whatever it is, financial report or whatever.

224
00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:13.560
And then you've got the report of the Lord.

225
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:19.780
And, and you chose to stand on the word and you have spoken that.

226
00:16:19.780 --> 00:16:21.560
You have testified of that.

227
00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:26.660
You have believed that and you have not let fear dominate you.

228
00:16:26.680 --> 00:16:33.580
And we open talking about how fear contracts and how faith expands and you've been expanding.

229
00:16:33.900 --> 00:16:36.840
You've been touching lives and you've just been speaking.

230
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:39.860
And it's been so beautiful to watch.

231
00:16:40.260 --> 00:16:46.100
I'm so honored and privileged that you're in this community and that we get to follow

232
00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:49.620
this journey and be praying for you and supporting you.

233
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:56.980
And it's, it's really a perfect lead in to today's study, today's promise and principle

234
00:16:56.980 --> 00:17:00.400
and everything as we're studying the Christmas story.

235
00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:05.920
But I think the angle that we're studying, this is a perfect lead in as to how do you

236
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.040
respond to the negative reports that happen.

237
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:14.160
So thank you, Christy, for taking time to come and to share that and keep us abreast.

238
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:23.500
We have been praying for you every week and so, so excited to see how God completes this story.

239
00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:25.520
I just love it.

240
00:17:25.520 --> 00:17:26.079
Okay.

241
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.160
I don't want to leave anyone else out.

242
00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:31.480
Is there any prayer requests that you want us praying today?

243
00:17:31.560 --> 00:17:34.540
We're all going to pray together like we always do.

244
00:17:34.800 --> 00:17:36.600
Is there any praise reports?

245
00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:39.700
Otherwise, I'm going to keep it moving because I got a lot to share.

246
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:42.480
Okay.

247
00:17:42.780 --> 00:17:43.480
You're welcome.

248
00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:43.620
You're welcome.

249
00:17:43.620 --> 00:17:44.020
You're welcome.

250
00:17:44.260 --> 00:17:44.900
Yes, he is.

251
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:45.760
So good.

252
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:46.400


253
00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:55.360
So the promise for today comes from Luke chapter one, Luke chapter one.

254
00:17:55.980 --> 00:18:01.480
And I'm going to encourage you to read the entire chapter.

255
00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:10.500
And it's, it's really a powerful contrast that you're going to see the angel Gabriel

256
00:18:11.020 --> 00:18:18.760
appearing to two different people with good news to Zechariah and, of course, to Mary

257
00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:21.740
with the birth of becoming pregnant with Jesus.

258
00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:31.580
And so I found this week preparing the contrast a really great lesson for us to dive into.

259
00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:37.460
So the primary promise, because we always memorize a promise every time we gather together

260
00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:46.560
for the power hour, the promise is Luke one thirty seven, Luke one thirty seven.

261
00:18:47.260 --> 00:18:52.060
And I imagine in almost every translation it will be the same.

262
00:18:53.540 --> 00:19:00.300
I grabbed the new King James version because I learned it first kind of there, but it'd

263
00:19:00.300 --> 00:19:05.140
be fun to see it in the Amplified and the Passion translation and, you know, all over

264
00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:05.560
the place.

265
00:19:05.560 --> 00:19:06.740
New Living Translation.

266
00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:10.640
I love just looking at it from different perspectives.

267
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:17.120
But in the new King James version, the promise we're going to memorize is this.

268
00:19:17.540 --> 00:19:23.520
For with God, nothing will be impossible.

269
00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:29.340
Let that sink in for a minute.

270
00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:40.720
With God, nothing, no thing, nothing will be impossible.

271
00:19:42.820 --> 00:19:44.520
That's an incredible promise.

272
00:19:44.860 --> 00:19:53.780
That's a a blank check in any area of your life, health, finances, ministry, relationships,

273
00:19:53.780 --> 00:19:54.320
service.

274
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:59.980
Like this is a beautiful promise that is worth meditating on.

275
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:09.620
on and writing. I have it all over my house. It's on my towels. It's everywhere. So let's

276
00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:16.560
make a couple of distinctions on this promise. The angel, just like what Christie's going

277
00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:24.080
through, the angel did not say, this will be easy. He didn't tell Mary, hey, life's

278
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:31.280
gonna be peachy, unicorns and rainbows, right, when he gave this word. He did not say, this

279
00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:42.600
will be easy. But he did say, this is not limited by what you see. Now, we've talked

280
00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:48.140
about this before, haven't we? That we've got natural senses, natural eyes, natural

281
00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:55.100
ears, natural mouth taste, right, natural touch. And we've got spiritual. We've got

282
00:20:55.300 --> 00:21:00.840
spiritual eyes, spiritual ears. That's why Jesus said you have eyes, but you don't see

283
00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:06.140
ears that you don't hear. He was saying, activate your spiritual eyes. Don't judge by what you

284
00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:13.100
see because it's not accurate. What we see is not accurate. Because if you even understand

285
00:21:13.100 --> 00:21:17.980
the principle of sight, you'll understand why it's not accurate. Because you're not

286
00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:24.300
actually seeing out of your eyes. Messages of, you know, particles of light is what's

287
00:21:24.300 --> 00:21:30.920
being picked up by your eyes. That's it, right? It goes into the brain and then the brain

288
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:37.340
filters it through your past experience to find something familiar and say, this is that.

289
00:21:38.060 --> 00:21:44.580
So your brain interprets it and says, adds a meaning to it. But that may not be the meaning

290
00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:50.940
that God has. Do you see why our eyes can deceive us? So it's very important that we

291
00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:58.920
also understand our spiritual eyes. And so what he's saying here is, this is not limited

292
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:05.980
by what you see, by what you know, right? So let's look at a contrast. Let's look at

293
00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:13.460
the contrast between Zechariah and Mary. Zechariah and Mary, these are both in Luke

294
00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:21.400
chapter one. This is going to be your study, right? And I love what Christie wrote. This

295
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:27.300
is so good. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. You know, any of you that have come

296
00:22:27.300 --> 00:22:33.040
out the other side, which I imagine is most of you, of hard times and seen what God has

297
00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:37.960
done. You will understand that everything that has come into your life is working together

298
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:44.400
for good. And everything is a gift, even when it's hard. And the more we walk with God,

299
00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:53.340
the more that we understand that. So let's compare Zechariah and Mary. Okay. So Zechariah,

300
00:22:53.340 --> 00:23:01.500
we find that in Luke chapter one, especially verses 18 to 20. So somebody want to read

301
00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:08.520
that Luke chapter one, tell us what translation you're reading and read us verses 18 to 20

302
00:23:08.620 --> 00:23:16.060
of Luke chapter one. Let's look at Zechariah. Example number one, door number one, right?

303
00:23:16.060 --> 00:23:23.380
Number one, Luke chapter one, 18 to 20.

304
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:38.980
Who wants to read that? I can read it, Brenda. Let me see. This is in the new King James version

305
00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:47.720
as well. Okay. And Zechariah said to the angel, how shall I know this? For I am an old man and

306
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:55.620
my wife is well advanced in years. And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands

307
00:23:55.620 --> 00:24:03.920
in the presence of God and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. But behold,

308
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.960
you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place,

309
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.240
because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their own time.

310
00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:23.060
Thank you. So in this case, Zechariah focused more on the circumstances.

311
00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:32.860
And even though a very angel who came from the very presence of God, one of the major,

312
00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:38.940
archangels, Gabriel, is giving this news that his prayers, he's been praying, he and his wife

313
00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:44.720
have been praying for a child and a very angel. I want you to just get in this scene. A very

314
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:51.100
angel appears. He's standing there talking to Gabriel, like one of the number one angels who

315
00:24:51.100 --> 00:24:57.440
stands in the presence of God and says, your prayers have been answered. And what does he do

316
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.340
with the answered prayers?

317
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.780
Right? And so in this verse, he receives a promise. You're going to have a child.

318
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:15.900
But he measured that word by circumstances. The circumstances were bigger in his eyes. He was

319
00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:25.720
using his natural eyes. It was measured by circumstances. And so he responded with fear,

320
00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:32.900
disguised as logic. How often you get, you know, you need to take your head out of the clouds.

321
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:39.020
You know, we need to be logical about this. You need to, you know, get here and face reality.

322
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:45.140
How many of people fear is disguised as logic, right? Playing small is disguised as logic.

323
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:54.180
And God in his infinite mercy knew, because of the power of our words, like we've been talking about,

324
00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:59.940
that Zechariah could not keep talking. If he keeps talking, remember how we talked about earlier in

325
00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:05.460
one of the studies, that our very words can undo our prayers, can undo the promise of what God is

326
00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:12.520
bringing. And the angel knew right there that, ooh, if you keep talking, this promise is going

327
00:26:12.520 --> 00:26:18.400
to be null and void, because you just almost reversed it right here. You know what? In God's

328
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.520
grace, you're going to be mute and not be able to say a word. I'm going to give you that gift

329
00:26:23.520 --> 00:26:31.180
of that temporary medical problem of muteness, right? That, like, run to the doctor. Look what

330
00:26:31.180 --> 00:26:38.400
happened. I lost my voice. I can't talk. I can't, right? So in God's mercy right there, that was

331
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.740
necessary for the fulfillment of the promise. I love that. I love that. Let me just see.

332
00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:51.280
Ellen wrote something here in the chat. Spiritual senses. I wrote down this morning to pray

333
00:26:51.280 --> 00:26:58.040
for the activation of the spiritual senses and the children of the light. That's so good. Yes.

334
00:26:58.060 --> 00:27:03.460
So, you know, really two prayers out of what we've talked about so far, and that opening our

335
00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:10.220
spiritual senses, opening our awareness, right, which is activating our faith eyes, right? We

336
00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:15.880
walk by faith and not by sight, which goes back to how we open, which is increasing our capacity,

337
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:23.000
right? So this all fits together with a nice, you know, bow, right? It all says it. Well, now,

338
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:28.640
let's contrast. That's Zechariah's response to the promise and the angelic appearance in this

339
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:37.520
Christmas story. Let's look at Mary a little further down in Luke chapter 1 and verses 34

340
00:27:37.520 --> 00:27:44.000
through 38. Who wants to read Luke 1 verses 34 to 38? And you can read from whatever translation.

341
00:27:44.000 --> 00:28:00.520
Just let us know. Luke 1, 34 to 38. Who wants to read that for us?

342
00:28:03.760 --> 00:28:11.340
Okay, this is from the Amplified Bible. Okay, wonderful. Mary said to the angel,

343
00:28:11.900 --> 00:28:18.800
how will this be since I am a virgin and have no intimacy with any man?

344
00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:27.340
Then the angel replied to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high

345
00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:36.640
will overshadow you, kind of like a cloud. For that reason, the holy, pure, sinless child shall

346
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:45.080
be called the son of God. And listen, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in

347
00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:55.640
her old age. And she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For with God, nothing is or

348
00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:05.440
ever shall be impossible. Then Mary said, behold, I am the servant of the Lord. May it be done to me

349
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:12.880
according to your word. And the angel left her. I love that. Read those last two verses about

350
00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:18.260
with God, it's not impossible and be it done unto me. Read those again slowly. Let's digest those.

351
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:31.280
For with God is or ever shall be what's I'm sorry, for with God, nothing is or ever shall be

352
00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:40.960
impossible. Then Mary said, behold, I am the servant of the Lord. May it be done to me according

353
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:51.580
to your word. And the angel left her. I love this. So keep in mind, this is all part of God, like

354
00:29:51.580 --> 00:29:58.240
weaving this divine tapestry. So Elizabeth, her cousin, is now that's Zechariah's wife that we

355
00:29:58.580 --> 00:29:59.980
Okay, now

356
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.240
now six months pregnant, who's going to be, if you don't know,

357
00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:06.120
with John the Baptist, who's going to be the forerunner making

358
00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:10.620
the way for Jesus, right, and who baptizes Jesus, etc. And so

359
00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:14.680
we saw Zechariah, we didn't go into Elizabeth, she had a

360
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.880
beautiful response, but we didn't go into her. And now

361
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.620
we're looking at Mary. So Gabriel leaves that and Gabriel

362
00:30:21.620 --> 00:30:26.780
comes to Mary, and also tells an impossibility. She's a virgin,

363
00:30:26.780 --> 00:30:31.180
she has not had any sexual relationships with a man. So

364
00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:36.600
talk about what as man we would call impossible. That's a

365
00:30:36.600 --> 00:30:41.680
definite impossibility. And so natural for her to make that

366
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:49.580
statement of well, but hers was more a curiosity. Instead of a

367
00:30:49.580 --> 00:30:53.300
negative blocking of the possibility. It was almost like

368
00:30:53.300 --> 00:30:57.380
I mean, how can that happen? I've never never even had sexual

369
00:30:57.380 --> 00:31:01.060
relationships. How is that even possible, which opened the door

370
00:31:01.060 --> 00:31:06.700
for our promise today, which is with God, nothing is impossible.

371
00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:09.760
And I love the Amplified that you read, nothing is or never

372
00:31:09.760 --> 00:31:15.060
shall be no thing like this is a promise to like have everywhere

373
00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:20.180
and let this sink in. And so even though Mary acknowledged

374
00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:25.460
the impossibility, quote, unquote, right? She didn't argue.

375
00:31:26.300 --> 00:31:30.380
She asked how, not if it would happen. She believed it. She

376
00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:36.360
just was curious how, and she anchored to the Word of God, not

377
00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:40.220
her biology, not the circumstance, not her apparent

378
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:46.740
situation. And she received it. She walked in acceptance, she

379
00:31:46.970 --> 00:31:51.010
walked in allowance, which it's a whole nother study. If we go

380
00:31:51.010 --> 00:31:54.610
into how we're always in resistance, we're resisting what

381
00:31:54.610 --> 00:32:00.370
God is doing. And she didn't, even though it made no sense. It

382
00:32:00.370 --> 00:32:04.250
seemed like a physical impossibility. It seemed like an

383
00:32:04.390 --> 00:32:09.150
overwhelming word. It says that, you know, let it be done

384
00:32:09.150 --> 00:32:15.110
according according to your word. So you can tell that as as

385
00:32:15.110 --> 00:32:20.270
an open humility, you know, and I saw that with Christie, okay,

386
00:32:20.390 --> 00:32:24.330
if this is what God is doing, God have your way, let's reach a

387
00:32:24.330 --> 00:32:28.370
million people with this. Let's glorify you with this. Okay, I

388
00:32:28.370 --> 00:32:31.770
receive this assignment. I take on this divine assignment.

389
00:32:31.950 --> 00:32:35.610
Because when we read forward, we know with Mary, it's going to

390
00:32:35.690 --> 00:32:40.050
involve humiliation and isolation and judgment and all

391
00:32:40.050 --> 00:32:44.830
kinds of things. And yet, she was the most chosen and the most

392
00:32:44.830 --> 00:32:47.790
blessed when you read, you know, Elizabeth's prayer, you

393
00:32:47.790 --> 00:32:52.810
know, blessed are thou amongst women, right? And so couched in

394
00:32:52.810 --> 00:32:57.690
this seemingly hard time of being doubted and judged and

395
00:32:57.690 --> 00:33:01.550
divorced and cast out and you know, all of the things that she

396
00:33:01.550 --> 00:33:05.310
would go through. She's considered in the Bible is one of

397
00:33:05.310 --> 00:33:09.770
the blessed, you know, blessed art thou O Mary, right? And so,

398
00:33:10.090 --> 00:33:12.630
you know, I want you to just think about this carefully right

399
00:33:12.630 --> 00:33:16.370
now, let's just get into your spirit. You know, are you living

400
00:33:16.370 --> 00:33:20.930
more like Zechariah focusing on your circumstances and the

401
00:33:21.650 --> 00:33:27.130
impossibility and the negativity and the fear and contraction and

402
00:33:27.130 --> 00:33:31.790
playing small and and you know, letting your words reverse your

403
00:33:31.790 --> 00:33:35.710
prayers? Or are you speaking more like Mary? I you know, this

404
00:33:35.710 --> 00:33:38.890
doesn't make sense. It seems impossible in the natural, but

405
00:33:38.890 --> 00:33:43.590
with you nothing is impossible. And let it be done unto me. I'm

406
00:33:43.590 --> 00:33:47.130
humbled. I'm honored that I get to be part of this journey. So

407
00:33:47.130 --> 00:33:52.070
they both heard an impossible promise. Both were barren, you

408
00:33:52.070 --> 00:33:56.030
know, for different reasons. And both were promised a child

409
00:33:56.030 --> 00:34:00.910
straight from heaven. And so both heard an impossible quote

410
00:34:00.910 --> 00:34:06.950
unquote, impossible promise, but only one expanded her capacity

411
00:34:06.950 --> 00:34:12.630
to receive the promise. Like let that land for a moment. What

412
00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:17.090
promises has God given you and have your current conditions

413
00:34:17.610 --> 00:34:21.710
overridden the promise? What goals dreams we talked last

414
00:34:21.710 --> 00:34:25.630
week desires has God implanted on your heart? If he's put a

415
00:34:25.630 --> 00:34:27.810
desire in your heart and your heart is sanctified, and that

416
00:34:27.810 --> 00:34:31.750
desire doesn't leave, right? I shared in my case, you know,

417
00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:36.310
with the retreats and other nations, if that if that desire

418
00:34:36.310 --> 00:34:40.750
doesn't leave, it's because the answer is already there. If the

419
00:34:40.750 --> 00:34:44.449
answer were not there, you would not have that desire. Okay, when

420
00:34:44.449 --> 00:34:51.030
you're walking with God. So so so beautiful. Okay, let's pray

421
00:34:51.030 --> 00:34:55.389
and then come back to the principle and and the practice.

422
00:34:55.570 --> 00:34:58.850
Okay, we got a lot to pack in here in the next few minutes. So

423
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:09.160
Anybody that wants to pray, let's just jump in and you know this prayer is about breaking agreement

424
00:35:09.160 --> 00:35:18.180
with fear-based thinking and reopen our capacity, right? So asking God to show us where we've been

425
00:35:18.180 --> 00:35:25.360
shrinking instead of trusting, asking God where fear has caused us to play small or delay or

426
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.280
protect ourselves from disappointment, this is another thing. We just don't set goals because

427
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:37.820
we don't want to be disappointed. That's by the way an amazing word, disappointed. It's two words,

428
00:35:38.740 --> 00:35:45.520
disappointment, dis. You're being taken out of a current appointment to go into a new appointment.

429
00:35:45.600 --> 00:35:51.440
It's a beautiful place to be and yet we hate that because of the neurochemicals that happen in our

430
00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:57.300
so in order to not be disappointed, we just, if I don't aim for anything, I can't get disappointed.

431
00:35:57.460 --> 00:36:02.400
That's another form of this contraction that we're talking about. It takes on a lot of different,

432
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.520
you know, clothing, a lot of different costumes. So we're going to pray over the specific prayer

433
00:36:07.540 --> 00:36:14.460
requests. We're going to declare Luke 1.37, nothing is impossible, over those situations

434
00:36:15.020 --> 00:36:24.940
and we're going to speak from identity and from place of permission, right? Let it be done

435
00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:29.860
according to your word. Your word prevails, you Lord. Nothing's impossible with you. All right,

436
00:36:30.120 --> 00:36:36.820
let's pray. Who wants to pray first? Let's just go ahead and you guys, each person can take turn,

437
00:36:37.180 --> 00:36:43.540
can be short, can be long. Remember, we open his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with

438
00:36:43.540 --> 00:36:48.620
praise. That's our access pass that we've learned in the past that we can come in with gratitude.

439
00:36:49.680 --> 00:36:56.520
We can come in with just breathing, knowing that God is in us and with us and then let's pray over

440
00:36:56.520 --> 00:37:03.880
what you're getting today. What's God showing you? Let's pray, let's praise and yeah, I'm excited

441
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:10.120
and then I'll close it out. Okay, so anybody that wants to start, just go ahead. Yes, Heavenly

442
00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:16.920
Father, I pray that I can finally be released from these limiting money beliefs that have been

443
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:24.580
driving my life and I pray that others will be released as well. I've been given new eyes in

444
00:37:24.580 --> 00:37:32.380
regard to this and it's been very powerful. In your name, amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

445
00:37:33.640 --> 00:37:34.840
Thank you, Lord.

446
00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:45.220
Who else? Let's keep it praying.

447
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:54.240
Your voice. God, I just praise you for all that you're doing right now and I ask that she would

448
00:37:55.520 --> 00:38:03.620
just continue to bring faith to the surface for all of us, Lord, because there's always

449
00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:11.280
a deeper place you want to take us to. I thank you, God, that you will just bring to the forefront

450
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:19.120
that nothing is impossible for you because I'm seeing it right now in my life. Miracles

451
00:38:19.120 --> 00:38:25.940
upon miracles, Lord. I just release abundance over every single person in this group.

452
00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:37.600
I release faith and I release love and peace and such a joy, no matter what you're going through,

453
00:38:37.740 --> 00:38:44.080
that everything will be in alignment with what God has said for your life,

454
00:38:44.560 --> 00:38:48.520
even those past dreams that maybe you thought were dead.

455
00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:58.020
We just ask, Holy Spirit, bring life and light to those things, in Jesus' name.

456
00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:14.300
God, you're an awesome God and I just want to thank you so much that just as in the Bible,

457
00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:23.180
you tell us to ask and keep knocking and that we'll receive. I'm so grateful that you're the

458
00:39:23.180 --> 00:39:29.440
leader, that you're the father, that you're showing us this, that you keep nudging the

459
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:35.400
children of the light, that you keep pushing us, touching us, showing up in our presence.

460
00:39:36.100 --> 00:39:43.420
God, I pray that the children of the light will be activated, that they wake up,

461
00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:51.040
and that they live by faith, they walk by faith, they move each foot in front of the other,

462
00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:57.400
knowing that they are never alone. And I pray, Lord, that when they do have a sense of fear,

463
00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:59.580
that you'll just bump into them.

464
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.360
Judge him a little bit and remind him that you've got this because with you in our presence

465
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.580
nothing is impossible.

466
00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:11.800
In Jesus name, Amen.

467
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:13.020
Amen.

468
00:40:27.160 --> 00:40:34.360
Anyone else want to pray?

469
00:40:36.520 --> 00:40:45.340
Lord, thank you so much for this time, this space to dwell in your presence.

470
00:40:47.340 --> 00:40:52.100
I feel you here, Lord, and your presence is the fullness of joy.

471
00:40:54.120 --> 00:40:54.660
Thank you, Lord.

472
00:40:54.720 --> 00:40:57.880
You never leave us or forsake us.

473
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:05.200
Thank you, Lord, that with you nothing is impossible.

474
00:41:06.300 --> 00:41:09.880
Nothing ever was, be or ever shall be impossible.

475
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:14.540
May we be people of the word.

476
00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:22.280
May we be people that learn your promises and stand on your promises and believe your

477
00:41:22.580 --> 00:41:28.900
promises and speak your promises and live your promises for your glory.

478
00:41:30.560 --> 00:41:41.280
I pray for a mighty outbreak of healing and abundance and wisdom and revelation for every

479
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:49.120
single Prosper Leader member, for every person that is part of this gathering every Wednesday,

480
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:49.500
Lord.

481
00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:57.520
I pray for each sister represented here, strengthen her with might in her inner woman

482
00:41:57.520 --> 00:42:05.800
by the power of your Holy Spirit, renew her mind to eliminate the fear-based thinking

483
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:15.560
and to step into the truth of who you are, Creator God, infinite love, infinite mercy,

484
00:42:17.620 --> 00:42:20.820
infinite, Lord, infinite possibilities.

485
00:42:22.200 --> 00:42:28.040
May we step into the fullness that we were born for, that we were created for.

486
00:42:28.240 --> 00:42:33.760
May we stop minimalizing ourselves and what you're doing in and through us and what's

487
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:37.120
possible by putting our eyes on the circumstances.

488
00:42:37.380 --> 00:42:42.940
God, may we move our eyes off of the circumstances, off of the mountain.

489
00:42:42.940 --> 00:42:49.040
May we speak to the mountain in faith and say, be thou removed in Jesus' name.

490
00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:53.940
Health challenges, be thou removed in Jesus' name.

491
00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:59.540
Financial challenges and debt, be thou removed in Jesus' name.

492
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.700
Lack of any form, be thou removed in Jesus' name.

493
00:43:04.700 --> 00:43:14.880
May we, as Proverbs talk about, above all seek wisdom, that we walk in wisdom to be

494
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:16.660
able to carry out the miracle.

495
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.940
Many times you heal and then because of lack of wisdom, we go eat the things that kill

496
00:43:21.940 --> 00:43:25.720
us and speak the things that kill us and undo the miracle.

497
00:43:26.060 --> 00:43:31.680
So, Lord, I'm asking not just for the breakthrough miracle, I'm asking for the consistency miracle

498
00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:38.040
that comes from wisdom, that comes from time in your presence, that comes from standing

499
00:43:38.040 --> 00:43:41.940
in your word, that comes from the power of your Holy Spirit.

500
00:43:42.200 --> 00:43:44.800
So, Lord, I thank you for what you're doing.

501
00:43:45.100 --> 00:43:47.980
I thank you for continued healing in Christi's body.

502
00:43:48.180 --> 00:43:53.120
I thank you for mercy and protection over people in this weather, Lord, that you will

503
00:43:53.120 --> 00:43:58.840
calm the storms and you will watch over them and that they will dwell in their houses with

504
00:43:58.840 --> 00:43:59.320
peace.

505
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:07.180
And, Lord, I pray that our mouths will become vessels of praise and that others will see.

506
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:12.620
I love the Psalms where you say, you pulled me out of the mud and mire.

507
00:44:12.860 --> 00:44:16.080
I would call that the fear-based stinking thinking.

508
00:44:16.600 --> 00:44:22.980
You pulled me out of the mud and mire and set my foot on a solid rock.

509
00:44:22.980 --> 00:44:31.500
You put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to my God, and others will see and

510
00:44:31.740 --> 00:44:36.620
will know that you are the Lord Most High.

511
00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:39.440
We thank you in Jesus' name.

512
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:40.680
Amen.

513
00:44:42.160 --> 00:44:42.620
Amen.

514
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:43.100
Amen.

515
00:44:43.220 --> 00:44:44.880
It's so good to gather.

516
00:44:45.100 --> 00:44:47.120
Okay, how many minutes do I have to pull?

517
00:44:47.120 --> 00:44:48.960
We got three minutes to pull this off?

518
00:44:49.620 --> 00:44:51.460
Okay, really quick.

519
00:44:51.460 --> 00:44:52.440
The principle.

520
00:44:53.680 --> 00:44:57.520
God expands capacity before manifestation.

521
00:44:58.820 --> 00:44:59.540
So, faith.

522
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.280
Faith is not pretending that the circumstances don't exist.

523
00:45:04.100 --> 00:45:06.820
Faith is choosing a higher reference point.

524
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.320
In other words, it's not the circumstance, it's God.

525
00:45:09.580 --> 00:45:11.000
That's our reference point.

526
00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:13.900
And so whereas fear-based thinking

527
00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:16.860
contracts and narrows our vision and puts us

528
00:45:16.860 --> 00:45:20.180
into survival and control, faith-based thinking

529
00:45:20.180 --> 00:45:22.580
expands the body and the mind.

530
00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:25.500
It restores creativity and hope.

531
00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:28.440
And it allows God's power to move through.

532
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:31.520
So I'll send you notes on this,

533
00:45:31.740 --> 00:45:33.640
but this is all tied to stewardship.

534
00:45:34.040 --> 00:45:36.480
We're called to steward our God-given dreams.

535
00:45:37.140 --> 00:45:39.200
We're called to steward our holy desires.

536
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:41.620
We're called to steward the revelation

537
00:45:41.620 --> 00:45:43.240
that God gives us, right?

538
00:45:43.240 --> 00:45:45.460
We're called to steward these promises.

539
00:45:46.100 --> 00:45:48.400
So fear causes us to bury them.

540
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:52.520
Faith causes us to really steward them

541
00:45:52.520 --> 00:45:55.500
and live them and birth them, right?

542
00:45:55.500 --> 00:46:00.640
And so what you make room for determines what you carry.

543
00:46:01.740 --> 00:46:02.300
Write that down.

544
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:07.900
What you make room for determines what you carry.

545
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:14.400
OK, I'm going to send you the practice in notes

546
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:17.400
because we're going to move from awareness to reframing

547
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:20.260
to embodying to an aligned prayer.

548
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.760
But we don't have time, but that's

549
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.040
because we did what we're supposed to do.

550
00:46:25.600 --> 00:46:26.820
I love you.

551
00:46:27.660 --> 00:46:32.060
And we need to decide if we're going to meet next week.

552
00:46:32.340 --> 00:46:34.260
So send me back your vote.

553
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:37.880
And I want you to know, very, very, very important,

554
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:44.540
mark your calendars December 26 for seven days, 26, 27, 28,

555
00:46:44.660 --> 00:46:48.280
29, 30, 31, and January 1st.

556
00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:54.300
It is our seven-day jumpstart 2026 online experience.

557
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.720
Powerful way to take everything we're talking about

558
00:46:57.720 --> 00:47:00.180
and bring this into the new year.

559
00:47:00.540 --> 00:47:01.360
It's free.

560
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:03.820
It's every morning at 8 AM.

561
00:47:04.300 --> 00:47:05.780
I'll be sending out the email.

562
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.480
Watch for the link so you can register, get the workbook,

563
00:47:09.720 --> 00:47:11.040
et cetera, all right?

564
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:14.220
I love you, and we'll talk soon.

565
00:47:14.540 --> 00:47:15.160
God bless you.
