All right, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Happy Wednesday.
Happy first Prosper Power Hour of 2026.
Can I get a wahoo?
That is big.
We're going to start with like, boom, right out the get go.
The word I was getting is faith and fusion, and some of you have been putting that in
the chat.
I love that because that's what we're going to have today.
We're talking about faith and expectation, particularly expectation.
I want you to think about that word because that word will shape, is shaping, and will
shape the world you're living, the life you're experiencing.
This is so big.
I could go on hours and hours about this subject.
It's so powerful.
We are going to move through the four segments of the Prosper Power Hour, right?
We always have a promise.
That way we're going to have 52 promises, right?
A promise, a principle, biblical principle, prayer, mountain moving prayer, and a practice
you can stay with all week.
So in the heaven and earth that we talk about, heaven being the faith, the prayer, the building
a faith-based business, that's Wednesday Power Hours.
Tomorrow, of course, for those of you that are Prosper Leader members, is office hours.
That's the earth side.
That's the strategy, the structure, and all of that fun stuff.
So welcome, welcome, welcome.
Going to start with prayer.
I'm going to bring on a guest.
I want to do a guest interview.
I want to do a faith infusion, and then we'll get into our promise.
So Father, I just thank you for this time.
I thank you for the gift of life.
I thank you for a new year.
Let faith arise.
Lord, open our ears to hear what you are saying to us today.
Open our spiritual eyes, our spiritual ears, our heart that we can perceive.
You said in Isaiah 43, you're doing a new thing.
Will we not perceive it?
Lord, I pray you open our ability to perceive what you are doing in and through us.
Let the power of your Holy Spirit infuse this day, infuse this Power Hour, infuse the mind
and heart of every Prosper sister.
We welcome you, Holy Spirit.
We welcome you.
In Jesus name, amen, amen, amen, welcome, welcome, welcome.
Okay.
Christy, do you have your camera on?
I don't see you.
There you are.
Hello, hello, hello.
Now, I'm going to look if there's such a thing as spotlight.
There is.
Oh, yay.
Okay.
Yay.
I'm learning like all the rest of you, all these new things.
Okay.
So, you are spotlighted.
Can I spotlight myself too, or can we only have one spotlight?
Here's another question.
We can both be spotlighted.
Okay.
Look at us go.
First of 2026.
All right.
I had to, at this early morning, thank you, Christy, for last minute notice, I was reading
that scripture.
I was texting with you this morning, and it just rose up in my heart that this is perfect
for what we're talking about.
So Christy, I'm going to ask you a couple questions just to let people live this experience
that you've been living, and all glory to God, to hear what God is doing and an update.
For those who have maybe followed, want to have an update.
So start, Christy, how long has it been?
Was it six months, a year?
When did you first hear the news?
Tell me about that first.
It was in August.
So it's been six months.
Six months.
Okay.
And you received a very difficult word.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the original doctors that I saw were definitely
not in alignment with what I felt the Lord was telling me.
So it's their diagnosis, right?
I had to throw that back.
I literally said, God taken, put it back in hell where it belongs, because this is not
my life.
I love that. I love that. Those words are so powerful, right? We're already, we're going to
be talking about expectation today. And so already, there's an expectation here. And,
you know, one of the things that you're going to face in your faith journey, and let me let some
people in really quick here. One of the things that you're going to face, each and every one
of us faces in our faith journey, is circumstances, the battle between faith and circumstances,
the battle between truth, what the Word of God says, and what we see with our natural senses,
what we experience in our body, what we see in our account. And then when you intensify that,
by receiving a report, a negative report, from what we would consider an authority,
the people we're supposed to put our confidence in, we have a choice, whose report will we believe?
So, real deal, when you first got that news, how did you feel? Were you terrified? Did fear try
to take over? Or did you just instantly say, no, not on my watch, because you've been building
faith a long time? What was your initial reaction? You know, I think initially, just kind
of, it's like a shell shock, you know, because trying to digest all of this information, it felt
like a fire hose came at me, of course, you know, with all this information, because I had four
doctors in one appointment. Wow. And so, and they were all telling me the same thing. And I was just
like sitting there, but that's not what I want. Do you want to know what I want? What about me?
You know, so running through that. But once, you know, once I left, of course, there was a lot of
emotion. But it's not like I was being guided by that emotion. It was that, you know, I had to
really give that to the Lord. And like I said, it was like, no, this is a report I'm not I'm
not accepting. Okay, you know, I'm not going to take, take that because before the diagnosis came,
you know, I knew I had a choice. Right? I had a way was coming up in my spirit, right? So big,
okay, waiting for that. That report, right? Praying God, you know, if take this cup away
from me, really, I don't want it. But yeah, but if, you know, the first thing is God does not
make it happen, first of all. Second of all, you know, if God has a plan to use it for good,
and that was what my heart was with God when I first found out was, I mean, just taking the test,
right? Waiting for that test. I said, Lord, can you, you know, if you can use this to touch lives,
and that is the bigger picture, a bigger plan, then I just ask that, you know, you touch a
million or more people, because I don't want this to be for not. I know the journey, I've never been
on it until now. Of course, I thought I had some clue of what people go through. It is pure hell.
It really is from all aspects. But you can walk through it in peace and joy. And, and all the
fruits of the spirit when you can give it to the Lord, right? Wow. And when I did that, I started
telling everybody that's okay, well, this is what's going to happen. God's going to use it,
he's going to use it. And he's touched so many people. She did. She called me immediately.
And these were her exact words. This is going to so remember, we're talking about faith and
expectation. And so you're seeing the roots of this, you're seeing when something really
terrifying, even feels like going through hell comes into your life, your marriage might be
falling apart, your body might be falling apart, your finances might be set, we all face it in
different places. And we have first and foremost choice that God given ability to choose.
And so she began to choose and, and what do we choose? Think about this, choose what we focus on
what we believe, what we speak, and what we're talking about today, what we expect.
So what did you change? How did you walk through this to keep yourself in this place of faith and
expectation? Did you visualize? Did you pray? Did you speak? Did you create space? Like what
what did you do to actually walk this out? So there was a lot of there was a lot of
talking with God, praying with God, you know, moments of release, because
I really feel that's important to we we the world tells us that we should be strong
You got to be strong
You got to stand up get your gloves on you got this man, and you just plow through it
And then you never feel anything right yeah, and God was saying no. I watch you know Jesus had feelings
He had emotions right there for a reason. It's for release, so you know there's a lot of moments of release
There's moments of denial you know you felt your feelings you didn't pretend they weren't there, right
Right, so I think that's that's first and foremost, but I think you know scripture. You know praying scripture, and I was just
Telling God how I felt about all this
And you create a routine around that I know there's a lot of women really want to understand and they want to this is a faith
Infusion so did you did you have a special time did you just pray all day?
Did you journal did you listen to things like how did you begin to walk this out?
When your eyes, I mean the initial test this had spread this was serious
There wasn't the doctors did not have faith and good expectation. They did not have hope they were speaking negative words
I remember because I've walked through this with you, and you had to say that's not my identity
That's not my story. That's not my report. How did you walk this out on a daily basis?
So I think first and foremost. I really felt like though. I asked the Lord what what's next right? What do I do I?
Got the report, and I really felt like he wanted me to go to
The healing rooms in Bethel, okay, so that was my first that was my first step, okay?
Well that was where he said look you you know through many different people
That
It's finished like it's finished. It's done. The doctors are gonna be blown away the nurses are gonna be blown away
And I feel like I'm at that point right now when I get this PET scan coming up my expectation
Is that and I keep visualizing?
Visualizing from that moment the very beginning of this journey
how my testimony is gonna touch lives and change lives and change the doctors and you know and just really
Transform right because I know that's the bigger picture
Right it love that yeah
I'm gonna go through this again
but if I knew what I know even at this moment all the people that have changed and the lives that have been touched and
People accepted Christ and all the yes, you know what I'd do it again. Yes, you know I'm a psalm
I sent a song to you this morning, but a different song is coming to me right now as you're talking
And that is and I don't know remember which one it is we could look it up
But it says this he pulled me out of the mud and mire
Yeah
and he set my feet on a solid rock and he put a new song in my mouth a
Song of praise to God and many will see and wonder and that's that's the song
I'm hearing speaking this so you got your first glimpses of success and hope on this journey
Just you just texted me
yesterday
Both beautiful. I could either read that text or tell me what happened that you sent me
Yeah, you could you could read it probably
Remember this is a faith infusion so when I get text from from Christie
I just like I soak them up and I just praise the Lord and so
This is
What she said?
She said hi Brenda. Happy New Year's. I have some more
amazing news now previous amazing news is
Tumors were shrinking correctly when you say more. What was the before that? Yeah, that was right previous text was the day before Christmas
It was the day before Christmas Eve
I received blood work that
basically said every everything in my blood work everything in my blood work was normal and
That my natural killer cells
Which you have to understand when you go through chemo are killed
They're they're low or they're gone, right? And
They were normal as well
Wow
Okay, you guys can put Wow in the in the chat if you want, okay, so let's continue this story
Happy New Year. I have some more amazing news. I saw my oncologist today
Received the results from my blood work
I think it's called CTC circulating tumor test to measure how I'm doing
My doctor said normal numbers are like 23 to 25 or so
Guess what mine were they started at 38 then
34, then 30, and today, 21, all glory to God.
Can I get a wahoo to God?
So we're waiting on the PET scan.
Christy, thank you for sharing and coming here,
being part of the Prosperous Sisters,
because I want to be part of this message,
getting two millions with you.
And so I'm celebrating.
I'm celebrating your love for God.
I'm celebrating your faith.
I'm celebrating the way you have consistently
looked at how you could use this for the glory of God
in your marriage, in relationships, in your family,
in everywhere that you can speak this.
I'm celebrating that you're choosing this,
and God is glorified.
And I know he is so smiling.
I'm smiling on the inside and the outside.
I love you, sister.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing.
And I'm just so glad that you're here.
We're so excited to go on this journey with you.
Of course, you're always in my prayers.
I love your texts, and I love having you here.
Thank you.
All right.
Let me remove the spotlight.
OK.
All right.
I pray to God bless you.
Put blessed in the chat.
I know we don't normally do interviews, but I just had to.
So Prosper Power Hour, this is the place
where we integrate faith into every part of our life.
So if you're new, thank you for being here.
If this is your first time coming,
there's no expectation to share.
Just come.
Just receive if you feel like sharing.
Your voice is important.
It's a safe space.
We love you.
We're so, so glad that you're here.
OK.
What we do each week is we open with a promise,
because this is what we can stand on.
Part of where God birthed this Prosper Power Hour
is that as I was mentoring women and I would say, what?
They'd get a lie, like you're broke, you're sick,
your marriage is falling apart, whatever lie comes,
whatever circumstance comes.
And I'd say, what promise are you standing on?
And what I learned is that many women only have a few promises.
Maybe they learn them in church or something,
but standing on a promise is not their normal go-to.
And so it hit me.
We need these four elements.
We need promise, we need prayer, we
need understanding of the divine principles,
and we need to practice.
And so that's how Prosper Power Hour got formed.
And so we always look at answered prayer,
because before we move forward, we look backwards and we build.
I had a mighty man of God probably 20 years ago
tell me, Brenda, you're building a history with God.
You're building a history with God.
For that reason, I'm such a diligent person journaling,
because I can go back and I can remember what God has done.
I can remember how I was feeling, what I went through,
how God came through the miracles.
And so each one of you, you're building a history with God.
And we forget this.
I forget this.
When I go back through my journal,
sometimes, I don't know, I guess I can be pretty dory.
It can be a few weeks or a month and I forgot that happened.
I don't know if any of you can relate
in the busy pace of life.
So building a history with God.
So in a sentence, if you can put in the chat,
is there any other answered prayers
that we want to start the year celebrating together?
Are there some answered prayers?
You can speak up if you want, or you could write it in the chat.
That way, anybody that is missing today has access.
You all get the notes and the replays, of course.
So any other answered prayers we can celebrate before we
move on to our promise?
Answered prayers.
Hey, Brenda.
Yeah.
Hey, ladies.
Good morning.
Happy first prosper, right?
Right.
Prosper of the year.
Amen.
I would just like to say, I just feel like we did the jump
start last week, and I just feel like there was
such a blessing behind all of that, just to relinquish those things on your plate that
no longer serve. And I would just say that I just feel this type of freedom that I honestly
do not believe I felt in the past, or maybe it's just elevated to a different level of
what I'm playing in right now. You know, so I am thankful for you, thankful for the ladies
involved with that. And more than anything, thankful for God, because he's just leading me
in a new calling right now that is so fresh. And just, I just really love it. Yeah.
I laying it down and letting it rise,
laying it down and letting it rise. I love that. Jim, I love that you share this because sometimes
we're only celebrating the outward things that we can see. I got this money came in,
I got this healing. But we also, and we also need to celebrate on a regular basis,
this inner transformation, because out of the heart flows the issues of life.
And this is where God is working primarily, right? And so when we have more peace,
that's an answer to prayer. And like you're experiencing more freedom, that's an answer
to prayer. So it's the process. It's not just the end. It's not just one thing.
So I'm so glad that you spoke up. Did anyone else experience an internal change as an answer
to prayer? Are you feeling more confident, more courageous, more peaceful, more joyful,
more? Is there any other transformations? Because that's what this, that's what this
circle is about. That's what this community is about. Anybody else? Inner transformations?
You guys are quiet this morning. I'll say something. Yeah. Hello, everybody. Andrea here.
So I too, see, it wasn't last October, but October 2024. I, I received news also that,
that I had cancer. And I had to have my breasts removed. And the thing that I always thought,
if I ever heard that news, something like that is, I'm a single woman. And I don't have,
I have dear friends, but I don't like to ask for help. Kim, you know that.
So when I went through it, when I heard the news,
the Lord just didn't let me. He didn't let my mind go there into that place of aloneness.
Wow. What he showed me was,
I do have friends, and I do have family. And I do, you know, and my thing too, is I don't
want to put my burdens on anybody. But he, he showed me that my friends, my family,
couldn't meet me in the place that, that I was going to be going through that only he could.
And there was a joy that I had, that was pretty amazing. My church family stepped up and
were kind of like, Oh, you know, very sad for me. But what they all witnessed and saw was
joy just spewing out. You know, I, and I personally, for the six months had this joy
wondering when it was going to end, and when was the real pain gonna seep in. And, and it never did.
And this, you know, as you could say, October was the year. And I even had issues with my doctor
following up, and such like that. And I just prayed, Lord, if there was anything that was
getting infected or anything like that, I couldn't trust them, because they wouldn't,
making appointments just took forever. So he, up to this day, right now, I'm good.
And I'm just thinking, you know, what do I want to do physically about any of that, but I'm,
I'm, I'm good with the way I am. And any person, if I even, if it comes to the point of meeting
somebody, you know, then we'll talk. You know, I mean, you know, to have in my life, then we'll
talk. But yeah, but joy, he met me in the place that nobody else could. Wow. And I couldn't,
and the expectation of making having my friends do that, meet me there. That's not fair on them.
Yeah. Wow.
Yeah, there's places that only God can meet us.
So I love that you shared such a powerful I mean, this is this is such an important.
How many of you are feeling this is such an important way to start the year?
And Andrea, you shared a couple really
important things, and one of them was that the battle that you fought
within your mind that God gave you victory,
which is this idea about being alone.
Now, any of us that have faced abandonment,
and I suspect many of the prosper women have,
that is a core wound for many women that you coach for many women.
I coach for many women in this circle, including myself.
Abandonment is a huge core wound.
And so it's so easy to feel I'm all alone.
No one's going to help me if it's to be.
It's up to me.
And and so in this trial, not only did God give you joy,
which is so profound, right?
He's breaking and healing that core wound of being all alone.
I agree. I love that.
One hundred percent.
That is a testimony.
The healing is a powerful testimony.
The healing in your mind of being alone
and feeling alone and healing abandonment is equally as powerful.
It's an inner healing that is happening.
Thank you for sharing that.
That's so, so, so beautiful.
OK, I'm loving this.
And Christie put in the chat what she did
for those of you because we kind of moved on.
OK, I also want to open up and we will be
praying here shortly for any prayer requests.
Remember, when we pray in this circle, we're expecting answers.
So we're showing up with faith and expectation.
We're holding this.
I encourage you.
I put it back in the email that I send you.
I encourage you to pray throughout the week.
Put it in your prayer journal.
So do any of you need answers,
desire answers to any prayers as as we go forward?
Yes, Kim. OK.
Yeah, I would just like and I think I know
that Christine is this maybe Andrea knows it, too.
But I know, you know,
because we've talked about this with my mom, you know, I just I just the Lord keeps
speaking to me to just let go of her and, you know, in a sense that allow him
to surrender all that needs to take place.
And, you know, that has just been a hard, hard task for me to do.
Like I'm doing it.
But but I don't know that I am totally giving it over.
So what would you like us to pray your ability to surrender and let go?
Is that the prayer? Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
There's, you know, the
just handing it over, whatever that looks like, you know,
and putting her in a another place where she can be cared for.
But at the same time, it's letting go of that.
Because I know that I can take care of her best.
But that may not be the truth.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah, it may not be the truth.
And and her and so asking the Lord, what is his highest and best?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. What you are supposed to do in this
situation, that you will you will hear you will you will know.
Yes. You'll feel confident because it's really
important that we don't later like beat ourselves up and think, what if I would
could have that happens.
And so knowing the freedom of knowing that you are completely surrendering this.
Yeah. Listening for his word moment by moment,
doing what he's teaching you. I I love that.
I love you. Good morning, Natalie.
Nice to see your face.
Yeah, I've been on here.
I saw your name.
I saw your name, but I like seeing your face better than your name.
Oh, yeah. You know,
that's why I've been known for a prayer request to finish with him first.
Yeah, Kim, I didn't we get it all.
Are you complete?
What's that? Yeah, you complete.
Did we get your prayer request? OK.
Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm at Natalie.
Go ahead. Hey, so I am in
Oklahoma. My parents, you know, they left me this condo
and my neighbor upstairs, her water.
heater broke and it flooded the bedroom in my in the bedroom and a little bit of stuff and so I'm
here kind of cleaning stuff out and um and I'm thankful because I have insurance I'm thankful
for I mean I'm like everybody's like oh my god I'm thinking no it's not oh my god it's like
thank you god because I had the things in place the challenge is you know I had this place I
cleared a lot out um but I also had had this kind of stuff it's like my little respite place
and I am in this I'm in the lane of do I still I mean I'm going to get it fixed
and stuff but do I sell it now or do I keep it okay that's one thing and then also um
shifting in my mindset you know because the insurance adjuster comes out
and just making sure that I don't give them the final say that god has the final say on the value
of what needs to be done and those type of things and so just so this was a this was a big help and
I'll share this really quickly um because I went to you know I did my my colonoscopy and so they
found three polyps two of them were small one of them was a little bit larger and so they want me
to come back in um three years instead of 10 years and so immediately um the enemy tried to
come at me but it was like no nothing is you know and of course the language that the doctors send
you you have no idea what the heck that thing was saying so what I did is I read it through
chat gbt and I said break this down to kindergarten understanding you know what I'm saying and then
it was really cool because then I went through and I created some affirmations around that so
that it wouldn't plant a seed in my spirit about what could possibly happen but I also
did this thing where you know sometimes there's you know there's a there's a pre and so um the
pre is for you to do what you need to do so that there won't be a full on so so that's that's the
thing too so so this this conversation was really powerful and it's also the way that I operate
and I think you all right on time okay so we're praying um for you to have wisdom in terms yes
the house as to the next steps and yes we're praying for you to have wisdom and walk out
in total and full healing yes yes okay beautiful and for them to understand that they don't have
a final say on on the resources that come to my to come to me and able to fix this house
you do you do yeah absolutely yeah okay thank you thank you thank you okay um you guys can text in
between I don't want to run out of time I want to do all that we're going to do here so if there's
any more send them in between um thank you so much all right let's get to our promise for the week
the promise you're going to memorize these promises so I encourage you to write them in a
place that you see them rewrite them if you're using your prosper daily planner write it in
there write it at the top of the page that you're looking at it every day this week so it
it you meditate it's like the word chewing cut a cow chewing cud like chew on this and just reflect
on it so it's an interesting promise that God gave me about expectation because God was talking to me
about expectation so it's Romans 10 11 so our promise of the week is Romans 10 11 and I'm going
to read from the amplified translation which says whoever believes in faith will not be disappointed
in their expectations let me read that again whoever believes in in him whoever believes in
him will not be disappointed in their expectations so in this promise you see that God wants us
holding expectations and we do anyway our world is built about our expectations
and so we see that there's this intermingling of faith we're believing in him and when we
believe in him we have expectations and we're not disappointed in our expectations so the key point
of this promise is that expectation is not optional it's formative it's formative and faith
without expectation becomes passive so expectation is the inner climate that we're going to
walk in. There is a law of expectation that you get what you expect. We know that in science,
we know it with the placebo, we know it with the nocebo effect. If you think something's not going
to work, it won't work. I mean, we know how powerful expectation is. And so this idea of
the deep faithful anticipation of God's promises that are rooted in trust, right? With the
conviction that God will be faithful to his word, that you can stand on his promises. You can
complement our promise of Romans 10, 11 with Psalms 5, 3. Psalms 5, 3, where David said,
each morning I bring my requests before God and wait expectantly. You see, faith is not passive.
There's this expectation. And A. W. Tozer said, true faith, true faith is never found alone.
It is accompanied by expectation. So you can tell your faith by the level of expectation, right?
And so that's our promise. And I like to think, when I think about expectation, I like taking
action and creating space for it. This is a way of holding that expectation. Now, what I want to
say as a coach is that we give our requests to the Lord. We pray that he opens our capacity,
he increases our capacity, more faith, more belief, more courage to walk it out. Like we're praying
that he increases our capacity for what we've prayed for, because we've talked about it. It's
the size of our vessel. But we do not attach to how things are going to happen. This is very important.
If we get rigid and we say how things have to happen, now we're in control and not God being
in control. So we walk in faith. We walk in expectation that this will line up with his
promises. It'll line up with his word. We expect that the joy of the Lord will be our strength,
that everything's working together for good. But we don't attach. So for example, we're praying
money to come in. We don't attach it to a certain method, a certain client, a certain way, a certain
job. We open the capacity that God can provide those resources anyway. And we can do this with
each area in our life. So here's the principle, the science and the scripture, and then we're
going to move into prayer. The principle, let me make it very clear, expectation
is the atmosphere that faith breathes in. Kind of get a visual of that.
Expectation is the atmosphere faith breathes in. Okay, you saw with Christi, faith could breathe
as she visualized millions being changed. Faith could breathe as she visualized tumors shrinking.
Faith could breathe as she stood on the promises and declared that she didn't attach her identity
to a sickness. Many attach their identity to whatever it is. I don't care if it's ADHD or
cancer or any diet. Like we attach our identity. And she kept on saying, and these are powerful
words, that's not my reality. That's not my identity, right? And yeah, there was a complete
trust as to how God was going to do this and a complete being led through the journey. So
I want you to think through three lenses. Okay, number one, when we're talking about the principle
through scripture, okay, the lens of scripture. Micah 7, 7 says, I wait and hope and with expectancy.
I wait and I hope with expectancy. Hebrews 11, 1 talks about now faith, like it's right now.
When we talk about it through the lens of the brain and our body and neuroscience and
psychoneuroimmunology, you need to understand that the nervous system prepares for what it expects.
The nervous system prepares for what it expects. If you're thinking this is going to be bad,
this is going to be really bad.
says, I'll never forget, and I don't have time to go into the story, but Walter, when he walked
in to hear his doctor, and the doctor pointed at a wheelchair, because he had advanced arthritis,
and he said, look at that, you need to prepare, because that's where you're going. And most people
would receive that word, start getting their house ready, imagine themselves in a wheelchair,
imagine their life in a wheelchair. He didn't do that. He walked outside the doctor's office,
and he said, Lord, I've heard the doctor's report. What is your report? It's an amazing
story. I don't have time to get in. But the point is, the nervous system prepares for what
you are expecting. Understand the difference between faith and fear. Fear is negative
expectation. Understand that. When we're walking in fear, we're walking in negative expectation.
When we're walking in faith, then our expectation is aligning with truth. So scripture, the body
and brain, and lastly, life and business. Let's apply this principle to life and business.
You don't prepare for what you don't expect. So I often have people, I had someone telling
me that they were praying for a job, and just believing for a job. And I said, great, what are
you going to wear when you get that job? Go get the outfit you're going to wear. There's this,
there's this, plant a seed in the ground and create space. When you're expecting a baby, you prepare
the baby's room. You pick out the colors, you get the crib, whatever you do. You get diapers, you have
a baby shower. That's expectation. The baby's not born yet, but you're walking in expectation. When
you plant a garden, you're walking in expectation. So expectation influences your decisions, your
boundaries, your follow-up. Do you expect clients to come? Do you expect clients to join? Do you expect
powerful results with your clients? All right, let's give enough time for prayer, and then we'll
come back for our practice. Okay, so in our prayer, anybody can pray. And these are faith-based
prayers of expectation. And we release fear-based. In this prayer, we release all fear-based expectation.
When you're speaking and expecting the worst. I have a contrary story to what we heard from
Kristi. Someone who has told me from advance she knows she's going to get cancer. Someone who's
told me every step of the way that this is going to be a long, hard journey, and she's experiencing
that. So I want you to understand that we've got to release the fear-based expectation. Make sure
your expectation is lining up with the promises and the word of God. So we're releasing the
habit of bracing. When is the next shoe going to fall? That's your nervous system amped up.
What's coming next? No, we're leaving that, right? We're in this place of breathing
and trusting. And so in this prayer of expectation, we're praying expectation back into our health.
Back into our health. Back into our provision. Back into our peace. Back into our direction.
So we choose to live knowing God is faithful. He's a covenant-keeping God. He's a promise-keeping God.
He's trustworthy now. We're coming from that place. So we enter his gates with thanksgiving.
With thanksgiving, we enter his courts with praise. Or I might have that backwards, but
we open with thanksgiving and praise. We walk in faith and expectation. So let's open for prayer.
Anybody can pray. And then I will close, and I'll close with our practice for this week.
Anybody?
Father God, I just thank you for all that you're doing. We've come before you with praise and
adoration and love for all of the things that you're touching in our lives, Lord. I pray that
everyone that is connected to Prosper Women, I just pray that healing would come to all of
our family, would come to all of our friends, Lord, and to each woman in this group. I just
thank you, God, that you release a new hope and a new faith and a new trust through these teachings.
I just pray that they go deep. I thank you, God, that you will
bring and continue to bring abundance upon each of us in in
so many ways that we just, it's unexpected. We expect miracles
from you, but sometimes it's still a surprise. So I just pray
that we have that childlike faith to just be able to move
mountains before us and to just see the miracles of what we have
read in the Bible for today. It is for today. It's, it's not for
just then, it's for now. So I just thank you, Lord. I pray
that you just blanket every person with peace, with love,
with joy, joy overflowing, Lord. And we just thank you for all
that you're doing in your precious name, Jesus.
Thank you.
Father, there we go. Father God, I just thank you for this time
together. I thank you for each and every one of these sisters
that showed up today, Lord, and that we just are covered with
the expectation of your promises, the yeses, the amens,
your eternal love for us, and the calling that you have on
each of us uniquely to go out and serve boldly. Our stories,
our messages of hope. Lord, I thank you for Brenda bringing us
together, Lord, and her unique wisdom that you have gifted her
so that she may show each and every one of us our talents that
you so gracefully give to us, Lord. I thank you for the space
that we are in, Lord, and for the presence of this moment,
Lord. I thank you for bringing the expectation into our lives
that we know that we are held by you, that we are dearly loved
and chosen, and that each and every moment is a gift. We thank
you for the blessings that are coming, the blessings that are
here in the now. And Lord, we just thank you for the gifting
of serving others as you will have us do, Lord. I pray that
our eyes are wide open so that we see everything that you have
in front of us. I pray that our ears are here to listen to
everyone that we meet, Lord, so that you will be in the room
with us for extensive and extended blessings of faith,
love, and generosity, Lord. I just thank you for these things,
Father God, in your blessed name. Amen.
Holy Spirit, I thank you that when two or more are gathered,
thank you, Heavenly Father. Thank you, Jesus. When two or
more are gathered, there you are, and you are here. And I
pray that every woman, both live and on the recording, will
experience your presence. Nehemiah 810, the joy of the
Lord is our strength. Thank you for joy. Thank you that you are
Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace, that peace is our
birthright. Thank you that you are Jehovah Belperrazine, the
God of the breakthrough, and that you live in us, Christ in
us, the hope of glory. May each woman fully in this year step
into the knowledge. May the eyes of her heart be opened as Paul
prayed, that she will know how high, how deep, how wide is your
love, and how great are the plans you have for us. I pray
that you give Kim wisdom and discernment and peace, moment
by moment, day by day, that she just feels you leading, that she
knows her steps are ordered.
She feels your presence, Lord, in making decisions for her mom. I pray for
Natalie as she makes decisions for her mother's home, Lord, that she will step
fully into the power of a daughter of the Most High God with the mind of
Christ, with power and authority to make wise, peaceful, grounded decisions. I pray
for a complete and total healing of her body, her mind, and her soul. I pray
continued, lasting, profound body, soul, spirit healing for Andrea, for Christy. We
celebrate, we celebrate your mighty works. Lord, I ask that you cover every woman
this week, that you lead, you guide, you direct, that she fully steps into her
divine call, her divine purpose, that she lives out her divine goals, dreams, and
desires with wisdom, with love, with joy, with passion. I thank you, Lord, for your
blessings with all prosper sisters. I pray that they prosper physically,
financially, relationally, spiritually, Lord. I pray they prosper in all things
in Jesus' name, amen, amen. And we've got one minute to give you the practice. Here
is the practice. We're doing it, ladies. Okay, so faith becomes real when it's
practiced. You're going to write your practices. You're going to write one
expectation you're choosing to hold this week. Then you're going to speak one
sentence that you're going to say daily that aligns expectation with truth. And
then you're going to act. So you're going to write, you're going to speak, you're
going to act. You're going to take one small action that comes from that place
of expectation that God is already working. So you're going to write an
expectation. You're going to speak a sentence. You're going to take action.
Love you all. Thank you for being part of this beautiful day. Thank you, Christie,
for coming on here and sharing your testimony and giving us a faith infusion.
Thank you, Andrea, for so vulnerably sharing. Thank you for your prayers.
Ladies, love you. See you same time next week, Prosper Leader members.
Tomorrow's going to be powerful. We'll see you on Office Hours. If you're not yet a
Prosper Leader member, reach out to me. All right, blessings. Talk to you soon.
