WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.200 And good morning, good morning, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour. 2 00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:16.100 We are here every Wednesday, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, part of the heaven and earth 3 00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:21.320 equation of the Prosper Leader membership. 4 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.920 And so this is when we get together and we have a new promise every week and a new principle 5 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:37.920 to stand on and we pray and we celebrate all the praise reports, which is always fun 6 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.920 to do that before we get started. 7 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.120 And so welcome, welcome. 8 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:48.720 Today, I'm super excited. 9 00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:55.720 God just drops on my spirit what the promise is that we're going to do each week. 10 00:00:55.720 --> 00:01:03.280 And you've probably noticed he gives a unique twist to kind of think about it. 11 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:13.360 And so today he's got me in Ephesians 6 and it goes like this. 12 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:18.240 You know this part, but I think there's a little bit of depth that we're going to add. 13 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:26.920 It says, therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, 14 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:40.080 you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand. 15 00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:51.040 So there's a moment in life that we often face as believers, many moments. 16 00:01:51.040 --> 00:02:01.440 But think about this where you prayed and you obeyed and you took action and you did 17 00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:04.840 everything you know to do. 18 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.560 Am I talking to anybody? 19 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:17.640 And yet the outcome is still unfolding. 20 00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:26.160 And this is a really decisive moment, a decisive period of time. 21 00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:37.200 That's when many people will panic because they assume something's wrong. 22 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:45.280 They assume that God isn't moving, that maybe the prayers didn't get answered and that maybe 23 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:54.800 they better push harder and that, you know, something's off. 24 00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:57.920 But Scripture says something really radical right here. 25 00:02:57.920 --> 00:02:59.680 I want you to get this. 26 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:06.880 This is one to embody and visualize and imagine and reflect on when we think about this as 27 00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:08.720 a promise. 28 00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.960 That after you've done everything, that's what it says right here. 29 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.920 After you've done everything, it says, stand. 30 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.560 Think about that for a second. 31 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:40.440 You know, there's been so many seasons in my life and maybe in yours where God told 32 00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:47.280 you to do something or gave you a word or something. 33 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.280 Welcome. 34 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.280 Hey, Amanda. 35 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:51.280 Welcome, welcome. 36 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.280 Welcome. 37 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:53.280 Thank you. 38 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:54.280 I'm so sorry. 39 00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:03.280 With the time difference, I keep on forgetting because I'm the only one who doesn't change. 40 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.280 And I looked and I was like, wait, are we an hour difference? 41 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:09.280 And then I forgot. 42 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.000 Oh, welcome, welcome, welcome. 43 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:24.520 So we're talking about the verse in Ephesians 6, 13, and it's a unique twist to the promise 44 00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:26.360 that is in there. 45 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.560 And so the verse says, therefore, put on the full armor of God. 46 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.880 You've probably heard that and thought about that. 47 00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:37.400 And we know all the different parts of the armor of God, the helmet of salvation and 48 00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:41.240 the shield of faith and the sword of the belt of truth, etc. 49 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.800 It says, put on the armor of God. 50 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.760 When the day of evil comes, you're able to stand your ground. 51 00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:53.200 But this is the cool part I'm focusing on. 52 00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:59.400 And after you've done everything, stand. 53 00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:00.000 And so we're talking. 54 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.640 about these moments where we pray and we obey and we take action and like this says we do 55 00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:18.640 everything that we know to do but it seems like something's not happening and you start to 56 00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:28.960 question did god hear my prayer do i need to push harder you know do i need to panic and so the 57 00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:34.320 radical thing here is it's saying that when these seasons come 58 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:37.940 stand 59 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:47.200 to stay standing and so i think about the times in my life when there was just like 60 00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:53.760 really something pressing really something hard and i pressed into god and i prayed and i 61 00:05:53.760 --> 00:06:01.040 journaled and i affirmed and i declared and you know i took the steps and i you know launched 62 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.080 what i was launching and then it like silence like no immediate results like you expect then 63 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:16.480 i prayed it's just gonna move it's just gonna happen and my old like overachiever wants to 64 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:23.680 kick in and take matters into my own hands and and push harder and maybe start changing something 65 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:31.920 redo everything you start to question did i miss god did i not hear you know any of you am i any 66 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:39.440 of you have experience like that but the thing is when you look at this verse standing the word 67 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:52.480 standing it's not passive it's standing in your spiritual authority and that's where 68 00:06:53.760 --> 00:06:55.360 the promise really comes in 69 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.520 and you know as we go to a prayer in a minute you know god's just putting this on my heart 70 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:11.680 there's two ways we often actually cancel our own prayers did you know that we can do that we can 71 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:23.520 undo our prayers we can cancel our prayers so one is that we undo what we prayed and asked god for 72 00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:31.760 for by continuing to talk about the problem continuing to speak lack think about lack 73 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:39.920 or speak fears think about fear let that come out of our mouth we're actually undoing our prayer 74 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:50.080 we're negating the power of our prayer with our words and the other way is a prayer of doubt and 75 00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:56.400 we may think in our mind it's a prayer of faith but i want you to think about this we ask god for 76 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:03.520 something we ask god for a healing we ask god for provision we ask god for something and then 77 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.280 we keep going back and asking for the same thing 78 00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:16.080 it actually is a prayer of not believing that god has answered 79 00:08:16.640 --> 00:08:21.840 it's actually a a prayer of still staying in the place of lack or still playing and staying in the 80 00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:27.840 place of not healed or still staying in that place so we keep going back and asking and asking and 81 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:39.520 asking and asking and so what i've learned is to pray the powerful prayer of faith 82 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:46.480 line it up with a promise which is why i started this whole prosper power hour that we have a new 83 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:54.560 promise every week because when you pray stand on at least one two three promises of god to back your 84 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:02.960 prayer to let heaven back your prayer that god says bring us to remembrance of his word right and so 85 00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:10.800 you stand on what god said hold him accountable to his word and so once you've prayed that prayer 86 00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:16.720 of faith and you're and and and you're standing on the promise you don't keep praying that prayer 87 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:23.520 over and over and over again the bible calls that vain repetitions we don't need long prayers the 88 00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:30.320 bible calls that you know and that's what the pharisees would do actually from that point of 89 00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:39.440 on we start thanking god for the prayer being answered i think it's in uh mark that says 90 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:48.400 whatever you ask for believe you have received it and you shall have all that you've asked for 91 00:09:48.400 --> 00:09:57.360 so this is where having done all to stand we stand standing is is is spiritual authority 92 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.000 is is spiritual authority 93 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.320 It's talking about here, and this applies to healing, 94 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.900 it applies to finances, it applies to relationships, 95 00:10:07.900 --> 00:10:10.160 it applies to your business growth, 96 00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:14.320 it applies to knowing your calling and your purpose. 97 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.760 And so the enemy tries one last tactic. 98 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:22.400 You've already prayed and you've already believed 99 00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:24.980 and you've already taken action, 100 00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:28.400 and the enemy tries the tactic 101 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.040 to make you abandon the ground 102 00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:33.040 that actually you've already won. 103 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:37.120 You don't wait long enough for the victory. 104 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.680 And so the principle for today, 105 00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:45.360 to go with this promise of Ephesians 6, 13, 106 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.880 the principle is standing in a position of authority, 107 00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:54.240 understanding what scripture has to say about that. 108 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.820 So Ephesians 6 is about the armor of God. 109 00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:01.860 And you can go through, 110 00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:05.800 and I've had such amazing conversations around this 111 00:11:05.800 --> 00:11:06.860 over the last week, 112 00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:10.320 which is what made me feel led to teach this. 113 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.360 But notice something really important 114 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.900 when you study Ephesians 6. 115 00:11:15.900 --> 00:11:20.900 Paul does not say, fight harder, push harder. 116 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.780 He says, stand. 117 00:11:26.680 --> 00:11:31.680 Having done all to stand after the battle, stand. 118 00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:39.920 And actually four times in this passage, 119 00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:43.300 Paul repeats the word, stand. 120 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.720 So as a reminder this week, 121 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.320 just maybe keep the word stand, 122 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.960 you know, in your notes in front of you. 123 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:59.960 The word in Greek means to remain established, immovable. 124 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.780 That's what that word means. 125 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.800 So it's the posture of someone who knows the outcome. 126 00:12:15.800 --> 00:12:20.800 Do you think about a soldier guarding like a territory 127 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.340 that's already been secured? 128 00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:30.400 It's already been won. 129 00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:34.860 They're not conquering, they're holding ground. 130 00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:38.920 And this is a powerful, powerful principle for us 131 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:41.520 as believers, right? 132 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:46.040 Because many people are still duking it out 133 00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:50.520 and fighting a battle that God has already won. 134 00:12:50.520 --> 00:12:52.920 Scripture says, like when he said on the cross, 135 00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:55.080 it is finished. 136 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.640 And so instead of standing in faith, 137 00:12:57.640 --> 00:13:00.960 they keep going back into striving, 138 00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:04.960 struggling, stressing, sacrificing. 139 00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:08.520 But the armor protects us from that. 140 00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:11.880 When you think about that. 141 00:13:12.760 --> 00:13:14.560 So remember the armor. 142 00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:16.520 If this is new to you, 143 00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:20.760 go back and look at Ephesians chapter six. 144 00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:25.320 But there is, when you read it, 145 00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:29.660 let's just look at it really quick, all right? 146 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.800 I'm gonna read the whole thing. 147 00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:37.800 Therefore put on every piece of God's armor 148 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.160 so every piece, I'm reading from the today, 149 00:13:41.160 --> 00:13:42.980 the New Living Translation. 150 00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:48.880 So therefore put on every piece of God's armor 151 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:52.600 so that, I always love in the Bible to so that, 152 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.360 do this so that this will happen. 153 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.160 It says, so that you will be able to resist the enemy 154 00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.800 in the time of evil. 155 00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:04.480 Then, I love the sequence, 156 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.560 then after the battle, 157 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.640 you will still be standing firm. 158 00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:16.080 Stand your ground, 159 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.160 putting on the belt of truth, 160 00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:24.140 the body armor of God's righteousness, 161 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.720 for shoes put on the peace that comes from the good news. 162 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:31.720 So you'll be fully prepared. 163 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.240 And in addition to all of these, 164 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:38.240 hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows. 165 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.040 Put on salvation as your helmet 166 00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:45.740 and take the sword of the spirit, 167 00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:48.240 which is the word of God. 168 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.280 Pray in the spirit at all times. 169 00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:54.040 So look at the parts of the armor. 170 00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:56.520 You've got truth to protect your thinking. 171 00:14:56.520 --> 00:14:59.080 That's the first place the enemy tries to attack 172 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.320 is in your thinking. 173 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.000 That's why we've got to have truth. 174 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.000 Righteousness protects your heart from the accusation 175 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.000 that constantly comes and says you're not worthy. 176 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:17.000 Right? And peace stabilizes your direction. 177 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:21.000 It's the shoes of peace. It stabilizes your direction. 178 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:26.000 And faith extinguishes the fear. 179 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000 Because faith and fear can't coexist. 180 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.000 So when you've got your shield of faith up, 181 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:38.000 it extinguishes the fear. 182 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.000 Salvation secures your identity. 183 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:48.000 You know who you are as a daughter of the Most High God. 184 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.000 And the Word establishes your authority. 185 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:58.000 So when these are in place, you can stand. 186 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.000 Isn't that good? Is this hitting anybody where you live? 187 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000 Isn't that good? 188 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.000 Now you know me. I always like to add some neuroscience. 189 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.000 I'm scripture science strategy. 190 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:16.000 Let's talk about it from a brain perspective really quick. 191 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:22.000 When you feel uncertain, when you feel under pressure, 192 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.000 when fear wants to come in, 193 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.000 your body releases stress hormones. 194 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.000 You become a chemical stew. 195 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.000 Cortisol, adrenaline pushes to want to fight, flight. 196 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.000 Right? Fix. 197 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.000 That's where striving is happening. 198 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:53.000 Faith actually changes our brain and our entire physiology. 199 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.000 So when we return and we're standing, 200 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.000 when we return to this trust, this prayer, this truth, 201 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.000 we're standing on the truth. Your Word says. 202 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.000 We're standing on our identity who God made us. 203 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.000 The nervous system actually calms down. 204 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.000 The vagus nerve actually goes. 205 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:19.000 Did you know the vagus nerve actually goes to every organ in the body? 206 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.000 Do you know that it's profound? 207 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.000 And so when the nervous, 208 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.000 we talked about this in a couple of the previous lessons, 209 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.000 when we go into the parasympathetic, right? 210 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.000 The sympathetic nervous system is the fight or flight. 211 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.000 Everything shuts down, everything closed. We're in panic. 212 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.000 We're ready to run. We're ready to fight. 213 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.000 So creativity shuts down. The brain is not operating in fullness. 214 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.000 We're clenched up. Think about what happens with fear. 215 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.000 We clench our fists, our body clench up. 216 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.000 All the blood goes to the center, right? 217 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.000 Like it's not a creative expansive mode, the sympathetic. 218 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:02.000 And God has called us to be in the parasympathetic, right? 219 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.000 And that's when clarity returns and, 220 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.000 and creativity opens up. 221 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.000 Different parts of the brain open up our discernment. 222 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.000 We talked last week about discernment comes. 223 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.000 We did Hebrews four and Hebrews five, remember? 224 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:22.000 And that's why faith rest, which by the way, side note, 225 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.000 I'm super excited. Mark your calendar. 226 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.000 March 30th through April 3rd, 227 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.000 I'm doing resurrect your spirit and your business. 228 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:39.000 Five days of just complete preparing for resurrection Sunday on the fifth. 229 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.000 So it's going to resurrect your spirits, going to resurrect your business. 230 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:50.000 And so day five, which is also the last chapter in my, in my book, 231 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.000 if you haven't read the prosperous system in my book, in my story, 232 00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:00.000 total soul prosperity, the last chapter is the faith rest life, right? 233 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.000 It's the faith rest. 234 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:09.000 And so that's why this faith rest produces discernment that we talked about 235 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000 in Hebrew six last week. 236 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.000 And so when we're standing in faith, 237 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:20.000 we're literally allowing our brain and our body to return to a state of 238 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.000 peace. 239 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:29.000 That's so powerful. 240 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.000 To really be just absolutely living. You know, I, Isaiah 26, 241 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:41.000 three says he will keep thou in perfect peace. 242 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:46.000 Who keeps his mind stayed on God. 243 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:53.000 So when we're, you know, Paul says, fix your mind on these things. 244 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.000 Jesus gave us peace. He said, peace. 245 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.060 peace that passes all understanding and so that's what this faith rest and so 246 00:20:05.060 --> 00:20:13.220 that's what the standing is that the storm can be just blazing but you can be 247 00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:18.140 standing in peace in the middle of storm it's like you you wonder how you can 248 00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:24.540 have I've been experiencing you wonder how you can have so much peace when when 249 00:20:24.540 --> 00:20:31.040 Jesus could come out and he could speak to the storm and he could say peace be 250 00:20:31.040 --> 00:20:36.420 still the only reason he could release peace on the outside is because he 251 00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:41.540 carried that peace on the inside and he actually tells us to do the same thing 252 00:20:41.540 --> 00:20:45.380 he tells us to go into a home and release peace think about that we can 253 00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:49.700 release peace to our children we can release peace to our bodies we can 254 00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:58.940 release peace to our marriage think about so having done all to stand stand 255 00:20:58.940 --> 00:21:04.860 so standing is not just spiritual but it's actually neurologically stabilizing 256 00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:09.100 it's actually for our whole body 257 00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:21.900 which is health do you ever think about the word dis ease dis out of ease that's 258 00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:28.660 what sickness kicks in right so this affects everything that's why what we're 259 00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:33.300 doing every week and the standing on these promises is so powerful and 260 00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:38.900 meditating on the word right it's so powerful it's affecting every part of 261 00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:47.980 your life your finances get loosed you know your health gets restored as energy 262 00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:55.140 flows your relationships start out like this affects everything and so that 263 00:21:55.140 --> 00:22:00.600 promise when we come back to this promise in Ephesians 6 it's not that the 264 00:22:00.600 --> 00:22:07.260 battle won't come we're going to face struggles and actually 265 00:22:07.260 --> 00:22:14.580 that's part of God's plan because it's in every single struggle that you're 266 00:22:14.580 --> 00:22:22.260 increasing capacity this is the way that God grows you my son's really going 267 00:22:22.260 --> 00:22:27.540 through it right now he is being just hit left the right the top the bottom I 268 00:22:27.540 --> 00:22:34.580 mean he is just really being hit and I keep telling them wow son God's got 269 00:22:34.580 --> 00:22:38.860 something so big for you because you understand what's happening this is 270 00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:47.180 increasing your capacity and I said you know this feels really big for you right 271 00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:51.700 now but I'm telling you it's small in comparison you're gonna look back at this 272 00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:55.140 and it's gonna be a blip in the screen compared to what God's gonna equip you 273 00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:59.540 to handle in the future and you know one of the things he was talking you know 274 00:22:59.540 --> 00:23:04.220 financial issues and I said I would you just think for a second have you ever 275 00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:07.940 like studied and I'm not talking politically I'm just talking as a 276 00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:13.820 businessman Elon Musk when he was about to lose his entire fortune Tesla was 277 00:23:13.820 --> 00:23:18.940 going down didn't know he was gonna make it another day I said son you might be 278 00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:23.060 stressing about some thousands you know here we're talking about millions and 279 00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:26.980 millions and millions and I said I remember the story that Elon Musk 280 00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:31.980 sleeping on the floor in the Tesla factory he wouldn't even leave because 281 00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:36.140 he wanted to support all the workers and push through this crisis I said 282 00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:42.340 imagine what he was feeling at that moment so if he looked at your problem 283 00:23:42.340 --> 00:23:49.180 would it just take him out and it's like no why because the capacity increases so 284 00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:55.720 so the Bible never says you won't have struggles battles any of that but what 285 00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:02.200 it says is he's gonna increase your capacity and so the promise in Ephesians 286 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:07.840 6 isn't that the battle won't come but it's that when you put on the armor of 287 00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:14.920 God you'll still be standing even when the battles over and standing means you 288 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:20.080 you didn't lose your peace you didn't lose your identity you didn't lose your 289 00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:27.520 calling you didn't lose your faith you're standing and you're standing with 290 00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:33.080 even greater capacity I mean just think about that for a minute isn't that 291 00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:38.680 amazing think about and and my and my son acknowledged she says you know mom 292 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:43.080 you keep telling me that and I realize it's true because he said the things 293 00:24:43.080 --> 00:24:51.280 that used to take me out like he has some a streetwear design company and you 294 00:24:51.280 --> 00:24:56.600 know when he would get online he'd get complaints or returns or people hassling 295 00:24:56.600 --> 00:25:01.760 him online it used to just take him out it was just so stressful 296 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.180 He's like, I just handle that now. 297 00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:04.560 That's just like nothing, right? 298 00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:07.900 That's an increase in capacity, right? 299 00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:11.980 And so he's beginning to see and understand that 300 00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:16.020 so that when things hit, you're able to just pause 301 00:25:16.020 --> 00:25:21.020 and say, ah, pause, breathe, what a gift. 302 00:25:22.600 --> 00:25:25.900 Everything you're going through, pause, breathe. 303 00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.740 What a gift. 304 00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:29.260 God's gonna use this to expand me. 305 00:25:29.260 --> 00:25:31.860 This is taking me to my next level. 306 00:25:31.860 --> 00:25:33.620 Isn't that cool? 307 00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:38.620 All right, so let's take some time to pray powerfully. 308 00:25:39.820 --> 00:25:44.820 And remember, we enter his gates with thanksgiving. 309 00:25:45.060 --> 00:25:47.580 We enter his courts with praise. 310 00:25:47.580 --> 00:25:52.580 And so we celebrate what God's already doing. 311 00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:57.140 And then we can, scripture says, 312 00:25:57.140 --> 00:26:01.000 come boldly to the throne room 313 00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:04.380 that we may obtain help in times of need. 314 00:26:05.300 --> 00:26:10.300 And I love words, that word help. 315 00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:15.700 It's actually a rope that, like I've been to Israel 316 00:26:17.100 --> 00:26:21.020 and the Jesus boat that they actually recovered 317 00:26:21.020 --> 00:26:24.560 when I was there, I was watching them pull out a Jesus boat 318 00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:25.880 from the time of Christ. 319 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.880 And it's planks of boards and held together by rope 320 00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:34.000 and holds the whole boat together. 321 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.720 And that's the word in that verse, 322 00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.280 come boldly to the throne room 323 00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:41.800 that you might have help in times of need. 324 00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:43.960 That word help is that rope 325 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:45.520 that's holding the planks together, 326 00:26:45.520 --> 00:26:47.400 that's holding you together. 327 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:52.400 So that's the beauty that we can gather together. 328 00:26:52.520 --> 00:26:57.120 And Amanda, we've been seeing amazing answers 329 00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:59.640 to prayer in this group. 330 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:05.640 And we're seeing, we've had Christy come on a couple times 331 00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:10.640 and like she had advanced stage three breast cancer 332 00:27:10.800 --> 00:27:13.780 and it's almost completely gone. 333 00:27:13.780 --> 00:27:17.460 There's only like 10% and it's staying the same. 334 00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.720 It's not changing. 335 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.760 And none of that was supposed to happen. 336 00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:25.800 It's like God is moving, he's healing, he's providing. 337 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.600 He's a good, good God. 338 00:27:28.600 --> 00:27:30.120 He's a good, good father. 339 00:27:30.120 --> 00:27:35.120 Okay, so let's take some time right now to pray. 340 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:41.880 We'll just take turns praying and then I'll close us out. 341 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.080 I'll close us out with prayer and then we'll come back 342 00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:50.200 and we'll talk about the practice for this week 343 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:52.240 to apply this, okay? 344 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.240 So let's go ahead and start praying. 345 00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.600 And I don't know, Len said that she has to, 346 00:28:01.600 --> 00:28:03.280 she's having an inspection in her house. 347 00:28:03.280 --> 00:28:05.520 So she might've had to check out real quick. 348 00:28:05.520 --> 00:28:09.000 I see her screen is black, but anyway, let's take time. 349 00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.540 You guys, let's pray and then I'll complete the prayer. 350 00:28:14.540 --> 00:28:16.940 Brenda, did we have some prayer requests? 351 00:28:18.060 --> 00:28:22.620 You know, we didn't get any fresh prayer requests. 352 00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:24.820 We got some praise reports, 353 00:28:26.280 --> 00:28:28.260 including that a Len is about to have 354 00:28:28.260 --> 00:28:31.100 her third great grandchild. 355 00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:34.340 She's got 10 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. 356 00:28:34.340 --> 00:28:37.540 I know that my jaw dropped too, like so, 357 00:28:37.540 --> 00:28:39.780 but we'll continue to pray for a Len. 358 00:28:39.780 --> 00:28:43.940 She's got her surgery coming up on her wrist. 359 00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:47.740 We'll continue to pray for Christy 360 00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:50.780 and complete and total healing. 361 00:28:50.780 --> 00:28:54.180 And she's such a testimony for God. 362 00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:56.580 She's just sharing her testimony. 363 00:28:56.580 --> 00:28:58.660 God showed her to share her testimony 364 00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:01.160 with a million people as God would heal her. 365 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.340 Talk about standing on promise. 366 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:09.180 And we got a praise report that Kim's mom is settling in. 367 00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.820 She's gonna see her today 368 00:29:10.820 --> 00:29:14.480 and we continue to pray for Kim's mom. 369 00:29:15.860 --> 00:29:19.660 And I think, am I forgetting something? 370 00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:23.020 Natalie, Natalie, what about your sons? 371 00:29:23.020 --> 00:29:24.580 Yes, yes, thank you. 372 00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:27.540 So Bruce is up and walking and moving around. 373 00:29:27.540 --> 00:29:29.140 He went for his third checkup. 374 00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:29.980 He had a surgery. 375 00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.940 I left that Thursday. 376 00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:32.740 He had a surgery that Friday. 377 00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:34.940 They videotaped him that Friday. 378 00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:36.140 He was sitting up. 379 00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:37.400 He couldn't sit up before. 380 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:38.240 He was sitting up. 381 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:41.800 He actually drove over to my house when I got home. 382 00:29:41.800 --> 00:29:44.760 And so the son I left was not the son I came home to. 383 00:29:44.760 --> 00:29:45.600 So I was so thankful about that. 384 00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:46.420 Oh, praise God. 385 00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:47.260 That's a praise report. 386 00:29:47.260 --> 00:29:48.880 So yeah, so we just have to make sure 387 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.160 that he's careful in his healing 388 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:54.360 because you know how men wanna get back to certain things. 389 00:29:54.360 --> 00:29:56.000 But he went to the doctor. 390 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.800 The doctor said things look good, look great. 391 00:29:58.800 --> 00:30:00.400 Just to give him a self-care. 392 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.640 another three weeks before he starts doing any more, any kind of heavy work. Anthony is still 393 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:12.960 looking for employment. He's similar to your son. He's getting hit left and right. He had to move 394 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:19.520 out of his apartment because they changed the requirements. And he was already, unfortunately, 395 00:30:19.520 --> 00:30:23.280 because he was not working, he was behind on his rent. And so they said, if you move out 396 00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.560 by the end of the month, we won't get, we won't ding your thing for an apartment. 397 00:30:28.560 --> 00:30:37.840 So he had to move out with no place to go, but we're working through it. And so he's in the 398 00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:44.800 works for an apartment and hopefully everything comes through this week and he's approved and 399 00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:49.680 he'll be able to move in next Thursday. So we're believing, still believing for him a job 400 00:30:51.040 --> 00:30:54.960 or employment, or even, you know, I've been trying to get him to start his own business, 401 00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:01.120 but you have to be in the mood for, you have to get into that space, but a job that can support 402 00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:07.360 him and his son, him and his family to do what, to do and live the best way that, I mean, in a 403 00:31:07.360 --> 00:31:13.760 way that's comfortable and works for them. Yeah. Good. Okay. So we're going to, we're going to 404 00:31:13.760 --> 00:31:21.040 pray for provision for Bruce and yeah, let's just pray for our son. For Anthony, provision for 405 00:31:21.040 --> 00:31:28.560 Anthony. Oh, for, for Anthony. I'm sorry. Yeah. And total continued healing for Anthony. Thank 406 00:31:28.560 --> 00:31:35.600 you for correcting me. So Bruce's continued healing, total, total healing and Anthony for 407 00:31:35.600 --> 00:31:45.120 provision, a job or a business as God leads that way. And if you guys include Derek in that with, 408 00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:56.160 with his business provision within his business that's, that's a prayer request as well. And, 409 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:04.400 and Natalie, you're back from Africa. Yep. Just a praise report about that was amazing. Yes, 410 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:12.080 it was totally amazing. Totally, totally amazing. I'm always amazed at what, 411 00:32:13.040 --> 00:32:18.640 what, when, when I give, when I go there and I see what they've done, the expansion, the growth, 412 00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:27.760 and just like, when I see you this weekend, I get to see you this weekend. I'm having a gathering 413 00:32:27.760 --> 00:32:34.720 in Texas. So any Texans I found out I'm Natalie's coming in from Minnesota, but I've got six or 414 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:39.840 seven, eight clients in Texas. I don't even know more probably it's just kind of randomly coming 415 00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:45.440 together. So I'm so excited. I was supposed to leave today, but my flight got overbooked 416 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.120 because I'm leaving in the morning, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to be there either way. 417 00:32:50.320 --> 00:32:55.120 Okay. And, and Charlotte said, she's got a lot of bedrooms. If you need a place to stay or 418 00:32:55.120 --> 00:33:00.160 anything like, Oh no, I got a girl. I got so many people there that are clamoring for me to stay 419 00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.680 with them. And I'm like, I can't stay with all of y'all. So what a blessing, but yeah. No, I'm 420 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:11.360 going to go salsa dancing Friday night. If you're there, I saw that we're going to gather on 421 00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:16.240 Saturday.

And so other than 425 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:43.520 those who live close, like Kim and stuff that I get to see in person and hug in person. I'm so 426 00:33:43.520 --> 00:33:50.880 excited.

reminded as we were praying, 526 00:42:54.080 --> 00:42:56.520 Michelle's not able to be on the call, 527 00:42:56.520 --> 00:42:58.200 but she just had surgery, 528 00:42:58.200 --> 00:43:02.640 so we pray total healing and recovery 529 00:43:02.640 --> 00:43:05.640 and strengthening of her body. 530 00:43:05.640 --> 00:43:07.680 I know she's got multiple surgeries, 531 00:43:07.680 --> 00:43:11.080 so Lord, we lift up our sister, Michelle, 532 00:43:11.080 --> 00:43:14.080 just bless her and heal her. 533 00:43:14.120 --> 00:43:18.800 I thank you that Bev's cataract surgery went well, 534 00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:20.800 and she's now had both of them. 535 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:24.320 And Lord, I'm just praying that not only will she see better 536 00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:28.560 but she will see your glory. 537 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:32.360 She will see with her inner eyes 538 00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:36.600 and know how deeply she is loved and held 539 00:43:36.600 --> 00:43:39.480 as all of us will know. 540 00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:43.400 And I pray as she's about to do her next event 541 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:44.960 on the 14th, 542 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.040 I just pray that you bring the people 543 00:43:49.040 --> 00:43:53.080 that she's called to serve, Lord God, 544 00:43:53.080 --> 00:43:55.560 give her strength, fill her event, 545 00:43:55.560 --> 00:44:00.560 bless the work of her hands, prosper her, Lord God. 546 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:05.480 And actually got a couple of Prosper Sisters 547 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:09.400 that are doing events, micro events on that day. 548 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:13.880 And so I lift up the businesses 549 00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:16.840 represented by each Prosper Sister. 550 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.400 Lord, I pray that you strengthen them with might 551 00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:23.600 in their inner women, 552 00:44:23.600 --> 00:44:27.320 that they will stand and having done all to stand, 553 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.040 they will stand in love, they will stand in their identity, 554 00:44:31.040 --> 00:44:34.560 they will stand in the authority of your word, 555 00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:37.840 they will stand in the faith 556 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.320 that you are working and always working, 557 00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.280 that you are faithful, that you are trustworthy. 558 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:49.280 And so, Lord, I pray complete and total blessings, Lord, 559 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.040 that you prosper the work of their hands. 560 00:44:55.080 --> 00:45:00.080 I thank you for the gift of even Zoom. 561 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.320 Zoom and being able to gather online from all these places 562 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:07.400 and build relationships. 563 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.760 And so I pray that these relationships 564 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.040 within all the Prosper Sisters continue to grow. 565 00:45:15.040 --> 00:45:18.240 Thank you for Kate as she's having breakthroughs. 566 00:45:18.240 --> 00:45:20.920 She's not here today either, but bless her. 567 00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:23.760 Prosper her business, Lord God, in the way 568 00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:27.360 that you have been to just really serve 569 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:31.320 in these underdeveloped communities, God. 570 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:33.840 What a blessing she is bringing, Father. 571 00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:37.160 So just continue to give her wisdom. 572 00:45:37.160 --> 00:45:39.200 And Lord, we just love you. 573 00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:41.360 We thank you. 574 00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.480 We thank you for your word. 575 00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:46.440 We thank you for the promises that we can stand on. 576 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.280 We thank you for the ability to pray. 577 00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.120 And we love you. 578 00:45:52.120 --> 00:45:55.240 In Jesus' name, amen. 579 00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:02.720 Oh, so good to gather with you all. 580 00:46:02.720 --> 00:46:13.080 So our practice for this week and our declaration, 581 00:46:13.080 --> 00:46:16.800 just throughout the week, just kind of just be, 582 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:17.960 start with awareness. 583 00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:20.520 Awareness is the first step to transformation. 584 00:46:20.520 --> 00:46:23.600 So am I standing? 585 00:46:23.640 --> 00:46:28.160 Like maybe even take a Superman, Superwoman pose for a second 586 00:46:28.160 --> 00:46:29.360 just to remind yourself. 587 00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:32.200 Like just pause sometimes and just stand. 588 00:46:32.200 --> 00:46:35.520 And just stand in what God has said about you. 589 00:46:35.520 --> 00:46:37.160 Stand on the word. 590 00:46:37.160 --> 00:46:41.520 And so ask yourself, am I standing or striving? 591 00:46:41.520 --> 00:46:43.880 And if you find yourself starting to strive, 592 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:47.360 just stop for a second and do a Wonder Woman pose there 593 00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.800 and stand, right, whenever the pressure wants to come. 594 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:55.440 And then to say this declaration, 595 00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:58.440 I've done what God asked me to do. 596 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:02.880 Now I stand in faith and watch him work. 597 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.840 I've done what God has asked me to do now. 598 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:09.840 Now I'm just standing here open, receptive, 599 00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.920 ready to receive what God is doing. 600 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.400 So powerful. 601 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:20.760 You know, standing is, what I want you to get out of this 602 00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.640 is standing is not inactivity. 603 00:47:24.640 --> 00:47:26.680 It's not passiveness. 604 00:47:26.680 --> 00:47:30.840 Standing is the confidence that God is moving 605 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.200 even when you can't yet see the results. 606 00:47:34.200 --> 00:47:35.520 Remember in previous week, 607 00:47:35.520 --> 00:47:37.600 we talked about the gestation period 608 00:47:37.600 --> 00:47:39.720 between the time you plant the seed 609 00:47:40.600 --> 00:47:43.000 and the time you see something come out of the ground. 610 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.600 It looks like nothing's happening. 611 00:47:45.600 --> 00:47:47.360 It's the gestation period. 612 00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:49.160 That's when we need to stand. 613 00:47:49.200 --> 00:47:51.240 We don't go in and dig it up, right? 614 00:47:51.240 --> 00:47:53.440 Or we don't walk away and abandon the garden 615 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:55.760 and go plant somewhere else. 616 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:57.360 We stand. 617 00:47:57.360 --> 00:47:58.360 We stand. 618 00:48:00.600 --> 00:48:03.280 You know, many people quit 619 00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.720 like five minutes before their breakthrough, 620 00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:09.920 five minutes before the finish line. 621 00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.320 But kingdom people know something different 622 00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:14.960 having done all the stand. 623 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:16.920 We stand. 624 00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:20.600 We may continue to, you know, 625 00:48:20.600 --> 00:48:23.480 C-A-N-I, Constant Never-Ending Improvement. 626 00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:26.520 We may continue to get downloads from God 627 00:48:26.520 --> 00:48:28.720 and businesses, constant iterations. 628 00:48:28.720 --> 00:48:30.960 You're constantly improving, 629 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.800 but you're standing. 630 00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:38.240 You're standing in what God did, right? 631 00:48:41.560 --> 00:48:43.520 I just love that. 632 00:48:44.520 --> 00:48:46.800 Another declaration, 633 00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.040 as you go through the parts of the armor, 634 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:54.960 you can say, truth guards my mind. 635 00:48:57.640 --> 00:49:00.880 Peace steadies my steps. 636 00:49:03.080 --> 00:49:06.280 Faith protects my heart. 637 00:49:07.240 --> 00:49:08.640 I will not retreat. 638 00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:10.800 I will stand. 639 00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:11.840 I will stand. 640 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.200 Truth guards my mind. 641 00:49:14.200 --> 00:49:15.920 Peace steadies my steps. 642 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:17.800 Faith protects my heart. 643 00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:19.640 I will not retreat. 644 00:49:19.640 --> 00:49:22.120 I will stand. 645 00:49:24.240 --> 00:49:25.440 I release striving. 646 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:26.920 I release fear. 647 00:49:29.040 --> 00:49:32.840 God is working even when I can't see it. 648 00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:36.360 So now I stand in faith. 649 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:39.440 You guys can play with this, right? 650 00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:41.320 You can make your own declaration. 651 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.840 You know, in the Prosper Daily, 652 00:49:49.080 --> 00:49:51.040 there's room for three declarations. 653 00:49:51.040 --> 00:49:53.960 They're I will statements, right? 654 00:49:55.200 --> 00:49:58.960 And you can make these declarations to just keep it fresh. 655 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:00.280 Keep it fresh every day. 656 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.920 day.
