He's also very observant too, right?
I mean, he's looking out, even though we're together, he looks from outside in on this
and he was saying, can you have been taking care of your mom ever since we've been together?
Wow.
And, you know, I think I was telling you, Brenda, like the art of letting go and that.
And I would just like to say, um, because today's talking about expanding your capacity
and being that overwhelmed.
And I'll tell you, I've went through so much, especially I would say in the last, the last
year, but in the last eight months of overwhelm and just feel, you know, to capacity.
And I talk about that with what I do in the, you know, the strong one, being that strong
woman, um, that kind of sweeps everything under the rug.
I've done it my whole life.
And so I just had to share that because I feel, thank you for sharing that.
My goodness.
I know so many of us relate on so many levels.
I started the recording early.
Those of you tuning in, this is the prosper power hour, but Kim was sharing a praise report.
She's been a full-time caretaker for her mother for many, many years and, um, just
been a amazing, dedicated daughter.
And it looks like we are praising that she has found a home and she, um, she prayed and
she did a war room type prayer, uh, to Jesus.
And the next day the mom was accepting and, um, the husband is validating.
And I just, I love it.
As you were speaking about that prayer, Kim, have you all seen the movie war room?
Have you all seen it?
If you haven't seen it, it's on Netflix.
It's going to be taken down pretty quick, but if you haven't seen it, have you seen
it Kim?
Yes.
Okay.
Priscilla Shire.
Yes.
So, um, I had Alicia, the homeless gal that lives in my front yard.
Um, I had her for dinner and I watched it with her and, um, last night.
And there's this point where in the movie where she does that kind of prayer, she just
goes after it and she is just chasing the enemy out of her house.
She is talking to God and she is saying from now on, and she reclaimed her husband.
She reclaimed her daughter.
She reclaimed her life.
Like, and it's just a powerful, powerful prayer that she does that scene in the movie.
You could probably like Google on YouTube.
I'm sure that scene is, is easy to find.
Um, but it reminds me of you and looking at that picture of Jesus and you know, those
are, those are prayers of certainty.
Those are prayers of faith.
Those are prayers of declaration and you're right.
So often we get stuck in very wishy washy kind of prayers of, Oh God, if it's your will
and please help me with this and I would really love it if, and it's like these half in half
out.
And for what we're doing today with James chapter one, Kim, um, your story is like the
perfect lead in and, um, you're such a blessing and I'm praising God with you.
You're going into this new season and I just honor.
I honor your, your love.
I honor your courage.
I honor your vulnerability, willing to share that with us.
Um, and I'm, I'm excited for your mom.
I think this is also going to be really powerfully blessing and, and, and stimulating new relationships
and new learning.
And it's actually, I believe going to be so good for her.
And I love that it's Valentine's day and I love that, um, you and your husband get
to celebrate a new season and what we're going to be praying for that.
What a beautiful blessing.
So thank you for sharing that, that praise report.
Um, we have Christie on the line and you know, we've all been praying for, for, uh, Christie
with, um, the, the breast cancer that's disappearing and that God is moving and she's driving as
she's listening in here and she has her MRI.
And so, um, be joining with her in, in prayer that it's done.
It's clear.
It's, it's over.
So lift up Christie.
She is listening to us.
She's driving.
Um, anybody else, praise reports, prayer requests.
We're continuing to pray for a lens wrist and she got denied for physical therapy.
She's contesting that, and so pray for everything that is needed, that God will supply the complete
and total healing. It might be from a completely different source. It might be from just a straight
up miracle, but we cover her wrist. We cover Elen with that kind of same type of prayer,
same for Christy, that same kind of prayer. Anybody else? Brenda, this is Charla. Hi,
Charla. I'm unable to be on camera, but I'm going to do a praise and prayer. My little
Adelita, my little 12-year-old granddaughter, got out of the hospital yesterday after
two and a half weeks. She got out. She came home yesterday, and I don't know much. I mean,
it was in a kind of sudden, and that's awesome. She's a trooper more than you can imagine. But
anyway, the family needs prayers. I mean, they were in dire straits before all that,
and mom hadn't been able to work. So it's my son Austin and his little new family.
Love it. Thank you for sharing. So we're continuing to pray for Adelita, and we are continuing to pray
for Charla's son. Tell me his name again.
Austin. Yeah, continuing to pray for Austin. Actually, I would like it for all three of my
kids are just in dire straits. This is the way the world is right now. It just has got them in
spiraling circles of debt. And anyway, Austin, Tyler, and Alyssa, my three kids are just
the wolf kids. Okay. Okay. You got it. Absolutely. Abundance is everywhere. I mean,
there's no lack, but the distribution has gotten skewed. Okay. Thanks. I'm going off.
Yeah. You know, if you guys can lift up Derek and my son, and he's going through the hardest time,
and what's beautiful is that he's pressing into God and surrendering and reading his Bible,
which is just incredible. That's new development. So it's so good. He has an online business,
and he's been very, very successful as a streetwear designer. And he has been very
successful with it for years. And he had hired someone to help. And that person
was burning the screen printing so that the majority of what went out, it rips in the wash.
And so he had to fire this guy because he's given him many chances. And he had to come up with the
money to buy the replacements for so many. And these are like $50 sweatshirt kind of things. He
had to get that, and he didn't have the money for that. And he got the new order, and it's actually
a problem with the manufacturer. Like you touch, these are high grade, you touch the sweatshirt,
and they just rip, they just fall apart. And so like all that he just got, which has already been
paid for and ordered by people that they're upset online. And so just pray for him to
get through all of this. Same kind of thing, what you're saying, Charlotte, he's being pressed
and stretched. And I think what I'm sharing today in James chapter one, I've been sharing
with him. And for all of us going through anything like that, we'll continue. We'll continue to pray
for Natalie. Oh, go ahead, Natalie, you're on your way to Africa.
Yeah, I am on my way to Africa. So pray for that. But and I think I don't know what this is with
sons, but both of my sons, so my oldest one that had the best. So first of all, my grandson,
his surgery went well. And then my oldest son is he's been he's been out of he was in finance,
and he's been looking for work since, oh, my God, I don't know how long. And so I've been having to,
to kind of help out because he has custody of his son. And so and he's, he's really trying to,
to persevere. But he's also been, you know, stretched, pushed, pulled, and all many in all
those many places, he did get an offer. The challenge is because he's been off for so long,
his credit is not pristine. And so we just were praying that the clearance comes through for that
position. And it is the right position. Yeah, and they're and they do well by him. And he does well
by them. Yeah. And then with my other son, Bruce, he's the one that has the sciatica in the back,
and he's having a surgery. They had it scheduled for the 27th. But you know, mom got involved with
the Lord. We got God involved in it. And so his surgery is
actually Friday, I won't be here. Um, you know, but I have a team of people, everybody's calling
to see what their assignment was, there is because they know how, you know, I take, I work with my
children very well anyway. And so, so my prayer is that his surgery not only goes phenomenally
and it's excellent, but it relieves the pain and he can be back to himself. I was with him last
night and I felt so bad because he's, he's, he's having all of these spasms in his legs and in his
hip and it's all this other kind of stuff. And it's just, it's just, it's really hard. So he
hasn't been able to work in almost four weeks and he is self-employed and he is, um, a yoga
instructor. So, and a teacher and all this kind of stuff. So, so his name is Bruce and the other
name is Anthony. So yeah, please. Okay. Okay. Um, so all of you, it's, it, it looks like this is a
week. I mean, every week is, but it looks like this is a week for us all to really press in
for our prosper sisters here. So if you didn't write it down, write it down. You're praying for
Kim's mom and for Kim, as she makes this transition, you're praying for Charla's boys and for
Austin and, and little Adelita that just got out of the hospital. You're praying for Elen,
that's spelled with an H, um, for her wrist. Uh, praying for Christy as she's on her way right now
for the MRI that this breast cancer is over and done and decimated, never to return, go to the
pit of hell. My son, Derek, as he goes through these hard financial challenges and all that's
happening that he just grows in capacity in the Lord and overcomes this for, for Natalie on her
way to Africa for her oldest son, Anthony, um, and for Bruce with the surgery on Friday and relief
of the pain. Um, and so, and if I forgot anything, the Lord knows, but please actually take that
seriously this week, the power of us two or more gathered and praying, it shifts, it just shifts
things. And, um, what a privilege, what a privilege that we get to unite like this. And maybe be a
little bossy. I love it, Kim. If you haven't watched War Room, it's a great one to go back and watch
and those kind of War Room prayers, my goodness, the things that changed with those prayers. And I
know it's a movie, but it's based on truth. And so if you haven't watched the movie, maybe that'll
keep it on Netflix longer. Watch it, watch it with your family, recommend it to people. Okay. Um,
before we run out of time, well, let's keep going. So today you probably got the notes. We
are focusing on a unique promise. It's a promise when we're in the middle of trial. So how
divine is that for this week with everything that we just talked about? Like what a setup,
right? And so it's the promise in the trial. And, you know, God's been teaching me about capacity.
And so it's really about expanding capacity, understanding how God is doing that without
losing peace. Right. And, um, so we're going to be in James chapter one, and we're going to read it
in kind of two chunks. First, we're going to read verses two through four, and then we're going to
come back to one more. And I've got a couple translations here, but who's got James chapter one?
Tell us what translation and maybe read it out loud if you can. James chapter one, verses two
through four. And I want to tell you a little about something about James that you may or may
not know. The actual name of that book is not supposed to be James. It got changed. It's actually
Jacob. And you can research this. And Jacob was Jesus's brother. And we believe that he received
Christ after Jesus died and rose again. And, um, Jacob, um, this is one of the earliest letters to
the Christians. This and Galatians are the two earliest. We're looking at just like 40 years
after Christ. So it's, it's, it's one of the, you know, most amazing. And it's actually the book of
James is actually looked at as like, it's a book of wisdom. It's like the book of Proverbs in the
New Testament. And.
So just a little backup about that.
And so, isn't that interesting?
The brother of Jesus.
And can you imagine growing up
and being with the Lord and Savior,
not knowing that until after he died and rose again.
I mean, what an interesting thought
to even think about that.
But he did receive, he did go on to be a church leader.
He also was killed.
And so anyway, that being said,
when we look at James chapter one that he opens with,
it just gives it some more depth
to understand who's writing this.
So James chapter one, verses two through four.
Somebody wanna read that?
And tell us what translation.
I have the Passion Translation.
Okay, awesome.
And it says, my fellow believers,
when it seems as though you are facing nothing
but difficulties, see it as an invitation
or an invitation opportunity
to experience the greatest joy that you can.
For you know that what your faith is,
what your faith is, oh, I'm sorry.
For you know that your faith is,
I'm looking at that word there.
I have it too marked.
Tested, excuse me.
It sets up in you the power of an endurance
and that as your endurance grows even stronger,
it will release perfection into every part of your being
until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.
Just think about that.
These trials are gonna create in you
to bring you to the place that you are lacking nothing.
I mean, just think about that.
Lacking nothing.
And so I love it, Kim.
Yours is like mine.
It gets so marked up and you can't read it.
Is that funny?
But when you look at it,
and when he says when it seems as though
you're facing nothing but difficulties,
you know those times when it just like everywhere I look,
there's a difficulty, there's a challenge, you know?
And I only told you like a smidgen of my son's challenges.
It's like everywhere he looks,
there's a challenge right now, right?
And here it says when it seems as though
you're facing nothing but difficulties, see it.
Remember, we get to choose how we perceive something,
how we see it, how we frame it, the meaning we attach.
So it says when it seems, you get that?
The illusion.
When it seems as though you're facing
nothing but difficulties, see it.
Choose to see it as an invaluable opportunity.
So imagine that everywhere you look your trials
and you get to choose to see it as an invaluable opportunity,
look at this, to experience the greatest joy that you can.
So we all want joy.
Joy is the highest frequency.
We want to experience joy.
The joy of the Lord is my strength.
And the way that we get to experience the highest joy
is the way that we see our trials.
This is so profound.
When you just stop for a second, it's so profound.
And it says, and then it explains why, right?
Because I'm serious.
When I used to read this when I was younger,
count it all joy, my brethren,
when you experience diverse trials.
I was like, is this guy on drugs?
Oh yeah, I'm going to throw a party
because I'm having a hard times, right?
Like what is wrong with him?
But he explains it for you know that
when your faith is tested,
like Kim, your faith kept getting stretched
and stretched and stretched and stretched.
She said, it's enough.
My faith is overflowing.
And, right?
You come with a bold kind of war room prayer.
So for you know that when your faith is tested,
it stirs up in you the power of endurance, right?
And that this endurance grows even stronger.
It releases perfection into every part of your being
until there's nothing missing.
Nothing lacking.
I would say that in that,
what I heard being spoken to me is the word chutes.
Yes.
At least, right?
Because it's not.
that it's given to us. Yes. It's saying that we have to choose in order for the next steps
to happen. The release. So good. All of that. And I think that's so important that word
you use it so fondly and it just hit me really hard. I'm so glad you shared that. It is your
God-given ability to choose. I think is one of the very most important because you so
Jesus said, hey in the world, there's going to be trials. This is just natural law. This
is what's happening. God's not doing it to you. It's there's going to be trials. Okay,
but it says in the world, you'll have trials. Okay, we get to choose the meaning we attach.
We get to choose the our words, our thoughts, our actions. We get to choose. Do we become
better or bitter? Right? Do we grow in our faith in our capacity or do we collapse our
faith? Right? And so it literally is like weightlifting. It's like stretching. You know,
I keep telling my son, I'm so grateful. You're being stretched. He's like, mom, I can't take
any more stretching. And I'm like, I know I used to joke that I have stretch marks on
my stretch marks. Right? And so but but I'm like, it's like a balloon when it's stretched
because the air going in is like the capacity is increasing. And you're being prepared for
your next season. And you can't get to this next season without the capacity. It's like
weightlifting. You can't get the strength without going through that. It's the way that it works.
And so but it's all based on choosing, choosing our words, choosing our thoughts, choosing our
actions. Right? So I'm going to pick one more. This is the New Living Translation,
just to add to it. So dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way,
consider it an opportunity for great joy. Consider it again, this is how you frame it.
This is the meaning that you attach. For you know that when your faith is tested,
your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow. For when your endurance is fully developed,
you'll be perfect and complete, needing nothing. This is this is so powerful. And
um, you know, I often listen to David Guillaume. He's a Jewish mystic. It's not all biblical, but
I'm able to, you know, eat the peach and spit out the seeds. And but there's enough good that
it really blesses me. And he has always taught me that everything when something hard comes at you,
that you're supposed to pause and say, what a gift. So just conditions yourself to reframe.
So as you know, the S is hitting the fan, pause, breathe, and say, what a gift. Well, that's what
that's what Jacob is saying here in this book is like, when this happens, no matter what kind of
trial, choose how you view it, consider, choose to consider it, that it's going to produce joy.
So, you know, here's what I want to emphasize, the trials are not random. They're productive,
they're capacity building, you'll begin to understand, oh, I'm growing my capacity again.
So we're not denying the pain. We're not denying that it feels scary, it feels painful, it feels
hard. We're not pretending, we're not being Pollyanna. There's been a hard journey that
Kim's gone through, it's been a hard journey Christy's gone through, it's been a hard journey
our kids are going through. But we reframe. And it's not that the trial is the gift, it's that
what it produces, the harvest, the fruit is the gift. And it's this gift. And, and I said,
I said, son, because we got to talking a little further. And this is not a small manufacturer
that he deals with. So they're sending these shirts to places like Tilly's and like to all
these large, I said, you think you
got a problem with your orders, just think for a minute,
that manufacturer, that everything
they've said to all of these large companies
are coming back with this problem.
You think you got problems.
I said, do you see the capacity?
As you grow, the problems that you can handle get bigger.
He goes, yeah.
He goes, the stuff that used to take me out in the past
doesn't bother me anymore.
And I said, do you think if Elon Musk, who's
gone through so much capacity building,
I'm not talking politics, just what
he's gone through as a person.
And do you think if he had your problem right now
and it's around a few thousand dollars,
do you think he would be stressing right now?
It would be taking him out.
It'd be like nothing to him.
It'd be like a little flag, get off me.
We got this handled.
That's what happens.
Each time your capacity grows, those trials
that used to take you out, they don't bother you anymore
because your capacity has increased.
And so I believe that God is less interested in removing
the trials from us.
We often pray, God, take these trials away.
I believe he's more interested in increasing your capacity.
And I believe our prayers, instead of saying,
God, please give me more wealth.
God, please give me more love.
Please give me a man.
Like whatever it is, we should be praying,
please increase my capacity.
And so that's the promise that's in there.
And to say that it takes us to the place
where we're lacking nothing, like that's incredible.
When capacity, if I'm going to define capacity,
it's what you're able to hold without leaking peace.
Capacity is what you're able to hold.
How much abundance can you hold?
You got to understand the more money you have,
the greater the trials in a lot of ways, okay?
How much abundance can you hold without lacking peace?
How much love can you hold?
How much, you know, serving?
Like how much can you hold?
Money, responsibility, visibility, opportunity, love.
And so remember, abundance without capacity,
it just creates anxiety, not freedom.
Look what happens when the capacity isn't built
and the celebrities come into sudden money.
They crash and burn one way or another.
They lose the money.
They crash emotionally.
They have breakdowns because they didn't have the capacity
to hold that level of money in abundance.
Do you see why this is, why truly we can call this joy?
You know, Kim, the patience, the perseverance,
the love, the compassion, all that God has built in you
is exactly what's needed for this next season
in your marriage and in your ministry.
And you're going to go back and go,
I'm so glad I went through that.
I would have never been able to do this.
So how powerful, how powerful.
So, you know, what you can hold calmly today, right now,
that's proof of the capacity
that you didn't have five years ago, right?
Just think about that.
Think how your capacity has grown.
And, you know, when you take all of the scripture from,
from I like, you know, I love to do science
and especially brain science and scripture and strategy.
And so when you take it from brain science
and you understand the vagus nerve
and you understand why when it says counted joy,
like I choose joy in the midst of this trial, what happens?
You see, if we don't do that
and we allow ourself to spiral in stress,
our cortisol rises, our creativity, the brain downshifts.
Literally, we go into the mammalian brain,
our creativity and ability to think big,
you know, just disappears.
Our perspective gets small.
But when we respond with peace and trust,
and when we count it joy,
the brain stays open and flexible and able to receive
and the problem solving stays intact.
You don't lose that part of your brain
and your discernment increases.
And so, you know, when it says count it all joy,
it's not denial,
it's really talking about nervous system regulation.
It's talking about that, right?
And so truly pause.
What a gift.
Joy is taking spiritual authority over that moment.
Taking spiritual authority over that moment.
Okay, there's a bonus promise to the scripture.
I deliberately broke it up.
So we read through verse four, okay?
Now, somebody read verse five, James 1, verse five,
and tell us what translation you're reading it in.
James 1, five, Jacob, book of Jacob.
Who's got it?
I can't, is somebody reading and muted
or cause I'm not hearing anybody.
Okay, this is the NIV version.
Okay.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God
who gives generously to all without finding fault
and it will be given to him.
Love that.
So just think about how interesting.
Do you think that that's misplaced, that verse five?
It follows one through four.
So we're going through all these trials.
We count it all joy.
It's gonna build this capacity in us.
And the next verse is, you know, you're gonna need wisdom.
That's part of the capacity.
And here's the good news.
If you ask God for wisdom,
he's gonna give it to you lavishly.
Like how amazing James one through four,
that when you face any kind of trial, we get to choose.
We get to choose to count it joy
because we know that this trial we're going through,
it's going to produce endurance
and persistence and character.
And we know it's gonna increase our capacity
for what God has for us.
And while we're going through that,
we're choosing to pause, say, what a gift, count it joy.
And next verse, verse five, knowing that we have access,
that the very source of wisdom,
the creator of the universe who has all wisdom,
that we can ask for wisdom and he will give it.
He's not gonna judge you.
He's not gonna find fault.
He's not gonna find you unworthy.
You ask for wisdom, it says you're gonna get wisdom.
What a powerful like sandwich to James chapter one and four
to put that as the bookend.
You lack wisdom.
So it's like these promises within the promise that happens
when we go through trials.
I love that.
We're emphasizing that wisdom is given lavishly.
There's no shaming, there's no scarcity.
And I want you to contrast this.
When we ask for wisdom,
so we're contrasting ways of handling trials.
I've always said there's two tracks, there's fear and love.
In this case, there's really like two tracks.
We're all gonna experience trials,
but when you experience trials,
there's two ways to handle it.
One is to count it all joy and say,
God, I don't know what you're doing, but I trust you.
And I'm gonna ask for wisdom
and I'm gonna come through this with even greater capacity.
That's one way of handling it.
The other is to have it just collapse you
and collapse your body, your thinking, your faith.
It's like we get these two ways
that we can go through a challenge.
And when we collapse,
it's usually when we're leaning on our own strength.
It's usually when we're striving
and when we're trying to come up with answers for ourselves.
This intensifies the trial.
Now, God wants us to use our mind
and obviously he wants us to use his wisdom
combined with our mind
and the power of his Holy Spirit combined, right?
But when we try to just solve this myself,
you're gonna come to your breaking point.
You're gonna come to the place that you can't do this.
And that's the place that the power of God comes in, right?
And that's why we can count it joy.
So two ways, and it's all, Kim, you brought it up so well.
It's all in what we choose,
how we choose the meaning we attach to the trial.
We can attach a meaning, a victim.
This stuff always happens to me.
God hates me.
I don't have any strength.
I can't do this.
this anymore, I can't take it anymore.
Like we can attach that meaning with a fruit.
Or we can say, I don't know, trials hit everybody.
This is my trial right now.
I'm gonna choose to count it joy.
I'm going to choose to grow my capacity.
I'm going to choose to call down wisdom.
And God and I, as co-labors, as a co-heir,
as a daughter of the Most High God,
we're coming through this and we're coming through it.
Like that scripture says, lacking nothing.
We're coming through it perfect
because of the character produced.
Isn't this an amazing promise?
Isn't this an absolutely amazing promise?
So, you know, as you reflect,
where have you been trying to figure out something
instead of asking for wisdom?
Where have you been leaning on your own strength?
So I want you just to think right now for a second
and identify a current trial.
What it is.
What's the current trial that you're going through?
And pause and intentionally say,
what a gift, I choose to count it joy.
And say in gratitude, thank you, thank you.
Show me what this is growing in me.
And then ask God,
what wisdom do you want to give me here?
What do I need to see that I'm not seeing?
What do I need to know that I don't understand?
And just notice, notice your body's response.
Notice your breathing.
Notice the perspective shift
because the capacity grows in how you respond.
How you choose to respond is what determines the outcome.
The problem can be the same, two different responses,
two different outcomes.
And so the capacity grows in how we respond, right?
Not how fast the problem goes away.
We just want God just, I don't want any problems.
We think that we want a life without problems.
We would never rise to the fullness
of who he created us to be without that.
Okay, let's go into prayer
and let's just take turns
and let's just pray this thing out
and pray this thing in.
And I'm just super excited what God is doing here.
So anybody can start and I will close out the prayer.
And if you want to come on camera,
I know some of you are at work and you can't,
but if you want to come on camera
where we can see more of you as we're praying,
go ahead, jump on.
And well, it looks like most of you can't
because you're working or driving.
So, okay, I won't do that then.
All right, whoever wants to pray first, just go ahead.
Go ahead.
Make sure you're unmuted
and you're not praying only to yourself.
I mean, God hears it, but we want to hear too.
Father, I just thank you for this time together.
And this hour that we come together,
we unite in uniform to honor you, Father,
to honor you and to glorify all that you know
of each of us and the blessings to come, Father.
In our prayer requests for each and our individual,
our individual selves and our families, Lord,
we're just so thankful that you have brought us
to this day, time, and the moments
that we can know that the trials are truly your gifts
to expand us, to solidify your strength in us, Lord,
and allow us the choice to choose you, Father.
And we just thank you for each and every one
of these strong women, Father,
and the capacity that they hold, Father,
for their children and their children's children, Lord,
in the areas of overwhelm and health
and just practical everyday life
and many times the chaos of what the world brings, Father.
We just thank you for positive and-
How you doing?
and the negative of test results for applied therapies, Lord, for healing of grandchildren
and children in all areas of health, Lord. Lord, we pray and thank you that we become
capacity builders for your kingdom, that joy, peace, love, understanding, all of the fruits
of the Spirit, Lord, are so instilled upon us in every child that we can remember at the moment
to just pause, to breathe and just say, Lord, thank you for this gift. What's next, Lord?
Lord, I ask for the week ahead and beyond that we each pray in war room style, Father,
that we take back our authority and that we let our voice be heard, Father God,
because we know that you are the mover of mountains and that you have instilled within
us the strength to do the same, God. I pray for Brenda and her own strength, Lord,
that she continues not only to fill her capacity, but to each and every woman that she so graciously
serves, Father, and for Natalie and her travels, Lord. I just thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord,
for your many blessings. We thank you for the praise reports that will come to us next week
this time. We thank you for the lessons, Lord, and we thank you for your sovereigns over each
and every one of your created daughters and sons, fathers, and family that we have
together and separate, Father. We just thank you, thank you, thank you.
you
Lord, we just thank you. We thank you for all the promises in Scripture
and this promise, that even the hard things, even the trials, that even those in your sight,
Romans 8, 28, work together for good. Even the hard things you're using actually
to increase our joy, increase our character, increase our capacity,
to prepare us for the next season. Truly, what a gift. Teach us to change our perspective, Lord.
Lord, this week I continue to lift up all the prayer requests that were brought up
at the start of this call. I lift up Kim's mom for a smooth transition
and a new season for Kim and her ministry and her marriage. I lift up a charless son, Austin,
and little Adelita, Lord, for continued healing and for financial provision for all of her
children, for all of our children, for a lens wrist, Lord, for healing that you'll bring
your healing power to that wrist, whether you're using a person or a tool or a device
or just straight power from heaven. I pray that this week there will be a turning, a breakthrough
in the healing of this wrist and we touch and we agree in Jesus' name to be pain-free, to be mobile,
to be even better than it was before.
And we continue to lift up Christy,
that she will be completely cancer free
in the testimony of your grace to the world.
We lift up my son, Derek,
to work through these challenges with courage
and increase his capacity and for provision.
We lift up Natalie as she goes to Africa for safe travels
and to be the blessing that she is.
And we lift up her children, her oldest son, Lord,
as he's looking for this job, Anthony and for Bruce,
as he goes through the surgery on Friday, Lord,
that the pain will finally be gone
and he will step into what he loves to do
and what he's gifted to do.
And Lord, I just thank you for every one of my sisters.
I thank you for the gift of this call
and this coming together,
the gift of Zoom that we can gather like this.
And Lord, I just pray for a special blessing
and anointing on each one of my sisters.
Prosper every one of them physically,
financially, relationally, spiritually, Lord.
I pray you bless the work of their hands.
And I pray blessings on their family,
their children, their grandchildren.
I pray blessings on their finances and businesses.
I pray blessings on their health and their body.
Lord God, I pray that they prosper in all things.
In Jesus' name, amen, amen, amen.
Well, ladies, I've so enjoyed this time.

Okay, lots of love.
Bye.
