So welcome, welcome, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour.
This is where we are every Wednesday, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
It's part of our heaven and earth combo that we do in Prosper and All Things that God Revealed.
This is our time for stepping into God's promises, stepping into biblical principles
for building our life and our business.
It's a powerful time.
And then tomorrow at 9 a.m. every Thursday, we do office hours, and that's the earth side.
It's the systems, it's the strategies, it's the business design.
And so bringing those two together, heaven and earth.
This is the year, the Jewish calendar of heaven and earth.
I did not know that when God started talking to me this year about heaven and earth and
bringing in this Wednesday component.
So I'm super excited.
Most of you were on, or you may or may not know, you might be listening to the recording.
We actually have about 25 people registered for this, so many are listening to the recording.
We just came out of the Resurrect Your Spirit and Business series.
It's something God has had me doing for over a decade.
He had me completely rework it this year, and it was so powerful.
And so we're going to spring off of that today.
We really didn't, it wasn't just teaching.
It was experience.
And of course, on the last day, there were tears.
Several women had tears, just the transformation.
What God was doing.
I mean, even this morning, Jackie said it's taken her to, how did she say, different layers
and different levels.
I love that.
And so what does it really mean to be buried with Christ, crucified with Christ, or co-crucified,
co-buried, which baptism represents, and risen with him, resurrected with him.
So we were co-crucified, co-buried, co-resurrected, so that we're called to live from high places.
That sounds all great in theology, but what does it really look like in our business,
in our daily life?
And so today, I'm going to keep expanding on both what we did last week, or two weeks
ago here in the Power Hour, as well as last week in the resurrection, and I'm going to
be sharing a question or a thought process that God keeps putting on my heart.
So if you think about where we have been, this idea of being raised with Christ, what
does it look like to live and to build from that place?
So if you remember two weeks ago in the Power Hour, our promise, and Jackie, I know this
might be your first Power Hour, we have four segments.
There's the promise.
We have a new promise every single week that we can stand on.
There's the principle.
There is prayer, mountain-moving prayer.
We're having such amazing results in prayer, and it is the practice that we can do all
week.
And so two weeks ago, the promise was John 15, verse 4 and 5, and it was, I think I read
it from maybe the Passion Translation or the Amplified, and it was talking about life
union.
It was about the vine and the branches and remaining in that level of connection, and
that when we live in that life union, that fruitfulness is the natural result.
So we really landed on this powerful truth that's very hard for those of us that have
been ingrained.
I mean, I was ingrained.
My dad's, that raised me, the work ethic was so intense.
I mean, I'd get woken up roughly in the morning, and you can't make any money sleeping, right?
Of course, I wasn't making any money.
I was a kid.
But it was that kind of ingrained that you've got to be moving, you've got to be striving,
you've got to be...
And so I grew up thinking that everything comes from pushing, from grinding, from hustling,
from striving, from...
overachieving and yet this says that you must remain in life union with me and as you live
in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you and we've talked
a lot over the weeks the difference between an external locus of control that what I need
to be happy, healthy, prosperous is outside of me.
If I can just get money, get a man, get clients, then I'll be happy, healthy, prosperous and
so it's this external locus of control is what counseling calls it, psychology calls
it and we know that people that have an external locus of control, they're waiting for someone
or something to change, for the government to change, for my husband to change, for the
economy to change, whatever.
They're waiting for something outside of themselves.
These are the most, it's a victim mentality and they're the most hopeless.
They're the most depressed, the most anxious, the highest level of addictions, the highest
level of suicides, etc.
And this is talking about fruit coming from within.
Jesus was always in an internal locus of control.
He would say out of the heart flow the issues of life.
He would say rivers of living water will come out of your belly.
He would say out of the heart, the mouth speaks.
And so it's this internal locus of control and that's a real switch for those of us that
are doers and overachievers to come to the realization that fruit does not come biblically
from effort, it comes from connection.
So it's a lifestyle of connection, this vine and branch.
It's like we did in the Resurrect series of the realization the scripture says I'm hidden
in Christ.
It says that I'm the temple of the Holy Spirit, that God is in me.
And Jesus, of course, last prayer to understand, to have awareness that we're walking as one.
And so if the branch stays connected to the vine, fruitfulness is natural.
If it disconnects, that's when the striving and all of the rest follows.
So for many people, that alone was a moment of awareness.
So today we're going to take that a little bit further.
Our promise for today is 2 Peter 1.3, 2 Peter 1.3.
Let me read it and then let's slow down and look at every word.
Let's just like the cow chews on cud, let's meditate on this.
It says his divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness.
Let's slow that down.
It starts at the beginning with his divine power.
It doesn't open with our power.
It doesn't open with our stressing and our striving.
It opens with his divine power.
That's the origin.
That's the power that created universes.
That's the power that knit us together in our mother's womb.
That's the resurrection power that lives in us.
So his divine power, not human effort, his divine power.
In other words, we're starting with the question that we've always started with, who or what
is our source?
Because if we get this mixed up, we live in a reaction mode and by reaction mode mean
we're in a fix it mode.
I've got this situation.
I've got to fix it.
I got to solve it.
That's what we're going to talk about today.
But right now we look at this, his divine power.
So we're starting with the source.
His power has given us, and let's make it personal, has given me.
You might want to write this.
His divine power has given me, Brenda.
Write it down.
Has given me, Jackie, has given me Bev, has given me Natalie.
His divine power has given me everything, everything.
Not some things, not a few things, not one or two things, everything.
So there's, there's no lack.
This is the two greatest obstacles we have to overcome in our belief system.
is the belief in separation, that I'm separate from everybody, I'm separate from everything,
I'm separate from God, that lie of separation, which has been proven scientifically and spiritually
and biblically not to be true, and the belief in lack that we're so programmed, that I lack.
This is saying, his power has given me everything I need for life and godliness.
So not just for godliness and holiness, but he's given me everything I need.
Not some things, not most things, not eventually, everything.
So let's take this a little deeper in principle.
You're not trying to get what you need.
You're learning to access.
This is a big difference between get and access.
You're not trying to get what you need.
You're learning to access what has already been given, what's already been released.
Now this is what God's been showing me.
This is where this teaching came from.
It really, really hit me this week.
Most of us, most people, most of us are problem centric.
Problem centric.
We've got a problem first mindset.
So we wake up thinking, what do I need to do to fix this?
That's the reactionary mode I'm talking about.
What's not working?
What's broken?
How do I get clients?
How do I figure this out?
And so we swirl.
It's very earthly.
It's not heavenly.
We swirl around the problem.
We look at it.
We meditate on it.
We drink from it.
We analyze it.
We try to figure it out.
We think on it.
We talk about it.
Anybody know what I'm talking about?
To live problem centric.
I want you to start having an awareness as you're going through life.
Is this me living problem centric?
And this creates the pressure that we feel, the stress that we feel, the overthinking,
the striving.
But this scripture tells us something totally different.
This is what God showed me this week.
The solution already exists.
And the solution existed before the problem.
I want you just to let that land.
I mean, I did a walk with my dog.
I've done several walks with my dog, Coco, just thinking about this one.
The solution existed.
This problem that I'm facing, the solution already exists.
In fact, the solution existed before the problem.
How many of you, is that a new way of thinking or a fresh way of thinking?
Because it completely changes the physiology of our body and the way that we go about our
day.
We're not coming from this place that I got to just figure it out, that I'm behind, that
I'm lacking, that I'm waiting for God to do something.
Instead, the key is learning to see, to perceive, and to access what has already been made available.
This is so huge.
But it's new.
It doesn't just sink in.
I had to really meditate and think about this.
Huh.
Okay, the solution already exists.
So what's the solution in this that I'm not seeing?
Help me access it.
First of all, give me awareness of that.
You know, Einstein said we can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it.
He was talking about that.
If we stay in this problem-centric, our mind created this problem that we won't solve it,
and you just spin, and it's like high blood pressure, right?
When we realize, huh, the solution already existed, the solution existed, there's a corollary
which when you have a strong desire in your heart, the fulfillment for that desire...
desire already existed that caused you to have that desire.
So it's a it's a much higher level of thinking.
It's a whole different way of looking at everything and saying, OK,
Romans 8, 28, everything's working together for good.
What's the good here that I'm not seeing?
What's the solution that already was purchased at the cross?
What's the solution that, God,
you already have this in the mind of Christ, which I carry the mind of Christ,
the solution to this already exists because God is calling us in this season
not to jump in and moan and cry and complain and be afraid with the masses.
It's an earthly, lower level way of living.
We're seated in high places with Christ.
We're resurrected with Christ.
He's calling us to be solutions in a problem oriented society.
We can't get in and join the conversation about the problem.
We can't do that.
We're not called to do that.
So we're called to see the solution,
to access the solution, to pull down the heavenly solution.
This is what it means to be seated in high places.
This is what revelation, when it says come up higher.
We're called to see the solution,
and this is where the shift really starts to happen.
Instead of chasing clients or trying to create clarity or forcing outcomes,
there's a different level of settledness.
There's a different level of awareness and faith and expectation and certainty.
Like just that alone, walking in faith and certainty.
Huh? The solution already exists.
Huh? What's the solution?
I'm not seeing it already exists.
So different than focusing on the problem, because remember,
well, we focus on expanse.
We know that's a lot.
We bring into our reality more of whatever we're focusing on.
So we move from this like contracted state of I need to figure this out to Lord,
show me the solution that already exists.
There is a solution.
I'm ready.
I'm asking for the awareness.
So the block is not what we think.
The block is not lack.
The block is our focus.
Which is problem focused, problem centric.
It's often disconnection from the source.
We're a branch over here.
We're not plugged in to the source.
We're not spending time in intimacy,
tapping into the unlimited wisdom that we have access to.
James says, if you lack wisdom, ask of God who gives it liberally.
He will not withhold it.
So we have access.
I mean, the Book of Proverbs.
The wisest king in history said wisdom is crying out in the streets
like wisdom is just like waiting.
Solutions are waiting for us to bring to the marketplace to families, too.
And so we've been instead buying into the problem and expanding the problem,
talking about it, meditating about it, praying over and over and over about it,
writing about it, complaining about it.
Right.
In a disconnected from the source, we haven't had time to plug in.
What does the word say about this?
What is the Ramo word, the revelation word say about this?
And the pressure of thinking that it's all on me to solve this.
And the moment we shift this, like everything begins to feel lighter.
So the problems.
You know, I just remembered something that I was taught like 25 years ago
about challenges, it was a different way of phrasing problems.
And the saying was challenges are opportunities in work clothes.
So when a challenge comes to you, this is a new way of thinking.
It's actually a gift.
It's for your growth and the growth of the world for light to shine,
for God's solutions to shine.
And so when a challenge comes instead of obsessing on it and magnifying it
because we focus on it, we magnify it and carry it into the future
and worry and fret and anxiety and all of that.
We've been talking about pause, but not only just pause,
can you look at the challenge and pause and say, what a gift.
This challenge is an opportunity and work clothes.
This challenge was brought into my life to
expand my capacity,
to give me an opportunity to reveal more light,
to give me an opportunity to be closer to God, deeper in the connection,
to give me an opportunity to experience more miracles,
to give me an opportunity to be on display
of the miracles and the glory of God. Can we, you know,
I tell you in the book of James,
for all my years of reading the Bible, since I was 17 years old,
I would read the verse about count it all joy.
When you face diverse trials, you face trials of all kinds,
count it all joy. And I used to think this dude's on drugs. Yeah. Okay.
I get a trial and I'm supposed to have a party. I mean like,
this guy's like, what the heck?
I could never connect all these years until I understood this.
Why do you count it all joy?
Because that trial is an open door
for a miracle.
It's an open door for you to be the vessel that brings the solution
that you get to experience the blessings. Of course,
when you bring solutions, prosperity follows, money follows solutions,
honor follows solutions, people follow solutions,
the things you're looking for, the clients, the whatever,
that follows that you are the one releasing solutions.
And so you can look at it at a trial and no longer obsessed,
even though it looks like this huge wall,
it looks like this massive thing that you have no idea.
Often it's a health scare. That's so big that medicine,
the things we relied on don't have an answer or often.
And then we look at like what happened with Christie stage four gone stage four
cancer, right? It looked like a wall to the doctors,
but not when we're walking at this level,
she already thanked God for it.
She accepted it and said,
this is going to be used to touch a million lives.
She saw the opportunity and work close, right?
So can we look at the challenges in our life and count it joy?
Can we pause and actually say, thank you. Wow.
You're bringing this to me knowing it's exactly what I need to grow my
capacity, to experience more of you, more of your life,
more of your solutions, more of your love,
more of the opportunity to serve and bring solutions.
Like, does that excite you guys? If you pick up my excitement,
do you realize how like this switch you realize?
I think first of all,
how much disease would be eradicated because the majority of the diseases that
we face dis ease being out of ease.
The majority of the sicknesses is the body not lying because we're holding onto
these lies, right?
These low vibration ways of thinking.
So even in that, look at the change,
look at how much lighter, look at the freedom, look at the joy,
look at the possibility.
If we can move truly from being problem centric to me,
this is just, I've been meditating a lot on this this week.
And so, you know,
the truth is you can be fully resourced and still feel stuck.
You can have a million dollars in the bank and not know it or not access it.
And you live like a pauper
because if you're looking at the problem, you can't see the provision.
You're blinded. You're problem centric.
What you're focusing on is determining what you experience.
So I pray this gives you something to meditate on this week.
Let's go into prayer.
Let's really pray this out and
let's pray for us really rising.
Yeah.
To move from being problem centric to having the awareness and the faith
to truly live solution centric and release solutions.
So let's pray.
We'll continue to pray for Bev's growth in all ways,
and continue to pray for Bruce's healing and Anthony's job.
We'll continue to pray for Sonny,
the right living conditions.
We'll continue that Christie's healing just advances
and her testimony just rises up and touches so many lives
and all the prayers that we've been praying so far.
So what I like to do is open up that you guys pray.
There's just a few of us today, so very intimate.
We can all just pray and whatever God puts on your heart,
that makes a difference.
And then I'll close and then we'll come back
and we'll talk about the practice for this week, okay?
So whoever wants to start us, let's just pray into,
this is a revelation word
that has a lot of room for transformation.
This can really shift things.
So whoever wants to go first,
we just all take turns praying and I'll close us out.
I'll close us out.
Gracious, gracious Father.
So joy is set before us Lord, Father God,
we come to you today, Lord, Father God,
hearing a word, hearing a message,
hearing your words, Lord, Father God.
Lord, help us to take them in,
help us to activate them into our lives,
into our daily practice,
into our personal knowing and awakening, Lord, Father God.
When we arise in the morning,
let us take hold of what you have for us,
take hold of the day,
the day that you have created.
We shall rejoice and be glad,
we shall find the joy in the day,
not in problems, but in challenges.
In the way that we look at life,
in the way that we look what is set before us
and understanding whose we are and who we are with,
who are we partnering with when we look at this thing?
The Almighty God, the one that nothing is impossible,
the one whose hand is not, whose arm is not too short,
the lifter of our head,
the one who changes the countenance of our face
by how he shines upon us.
Lord, we thank you today for this message,
we thank you for this word,
we thank you just for awareness, Lord, Father God,
and we know that many say knowledge is power,
but it's the application of that knowledge
that makes it powerful, what we know, what we've heard,
what we can actually move forward into
with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Lord, we thank you for Jackie's sister, Sunny,
Lord, Father God, we pray for favor
in her housing situation,
but not only favor, Lord, but direction
as to where she should reside.
Comfort Jackie's heart as she stands still
to listen to what you are saying to her
with regards to her sister.
Lord, we thank you, Lord, Father God,
that you hear her and you will respond.
Lord, we continue to lift up our sister, Christy,
Lord, Father God, let her healing spread,
not only in the nations, the world, Lord, Father God,
let her testimony be great across the land,
that people hear it and they know, wow,
and they see and they say, wow,
and they can actually take hold of what she is,
what her healing, how her healing has manifested
and run with it in their own lives.
Lord, we continue to pray for Bruce and Anthony,
Bruce for his healing, Anthony,
for a job or a career move
or an entrepreneur experience.
Lord, Father God, you know the plans
and the purposes that you have for him,
Lord, Father God, and we are just standing in agreement
with your plans and purpose for him
and waiting for the manifestation to be revealed,
both to him and to us.
Lord, we continue to pray for Brenda, Lord, Father God,
and her son as he continues to navigate things
in his business, Lord, Father God.
I pray a full restoration of what was lost
or what was challenged, a full restoration and beyond
to the point where.
Not only does it that his business is not recognizable that it took a hit, but it's so expanded that when he thinks about
that situation
It is amusing because he has greater he has more it is expanded. I pray for her daughters
Oh father God, I pray for direction. I pray for peace
I
Pray for healing and I pray for support
I'm in their lives and Lord. I ask you Lord for the God to refill
Brenda as she pours out as she gives as she serves
And she does what you have called her to do and we know what for the God that as she does it you're feeling her
But Lord we pray for an extra feeling of
her cup
And I would not say her cup I'd say her bucket Brenda doesn't hold out a cup Brenda holds out a bucket
Because she knows the blessings are that bountiful Lord Father God matter of fact, it may be even a tub
I don't know. Anyway, so we just thank you Lord for the gods for the refilling of her life and Lord
I pray for each person
That is on here live, but each person that listens to the replay
whatever it is that they have need of meet them at their place of need and beyond and
Let it not be counted against them of what they didn't pray
The don't fail to answer Lord
But I got answered those prayers to the unspoken ones the hidden ones the ones so deep that they cannot be uttered
Well for the guy, you know our thoughts before I think um, you know our words before we speak them. So we thank you
right now in
his name
You
Lord I just thank you for this time
This power hour
That you ordained before the foundation of the world
And each and every woman that you've called
to both be here live and
Those listening to the recording
That this word
Will be the balm of Gideon that it'll bring healing
That it will carry Holy Spirit fire
Restoration and activation
That we will never be as James says just hearers of the word
We won't be like those that look in the mirror and see something wrong and walk away and never wipe it off or clean it
up
that we will
act on
The word we will stand on
The word having done all to stand
Like we studied a few weeks ago. We will
stand
But your word never fails it it goeth forth and it does what it was set out to do
And it comes back with fruit and it comes back multiplied
So we stand on your word we stand on the finished work
Of the cross we stand on the truth
That the same power
That raised Christ from the dead lives in us that dunamis that dynamite power
Lives in
Us may we never think of ourselves live or act
Or come from a place of being powerless
Thank you that the solution it's already done already exists
And that what you have for us
Is
Exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything we can even ask hope or even imagine
That's what you have for us. I
Pray for my sisters today. I pray for physical healing. I
pray for spiritual healing the wounds
that they carry, the losses they've gone through, the grieving that they've gone through,
the pain, the suffering, the abandonment, I pray that that healing balm of Gilead,
that it just seals it up with that self to heal, to be used as a testimony,
to encourage others who are going through the same thing.
May new life, new light, new joy, new hope, new power flow through us this week.
I continue to pray for Natalie's boys, for Bruce, for Anthony, Lord God, for physical healing,
but also restorative healing, that they will, like the prodigal son, and it's not that they're
prodigal, but they will remember who they are and whose they are. And that be true for all of us,
that we go forth connected to the vine, connected to the source, walking in oneness,
that you'll, like Elijah, when he prayed for his servant, when it looked like all was like done,
I mean, the armies, the richest, most powerful armies had surrounded their camp.
If you looked at it in a physical sense, we had a mess, just like debt or sickness or
or any other limiting thing. It looks like we're surrounded. It looks like in our mind,
there's no solutions. And when Elijah's servant was saying that it's over, we're surrounded. Like,
if we look at this problem, humanly, we don't have enough armies. We don't have enough.
We're too late. It's over. And Elijah said, open my servant's eyes,
and he could see from a heavenly perspective.
And when his eyes were opened, he saw the throngs of heavenly chariots that were surrounding them.
And this is how it is in our life. Heavenly resources, angels surrounding, ready
to help us, resources all around us. Everything we need, like we read today for life and godliness,
is already here. It's not coming down from heaven. It's already here.
Like Elijah's servants, please open our eyes to see this week. Give us awareness and give us the
faith to walk that out, to be solution-centric and not problem-centric. We thank you, Lord.
We thank you, Lord. We love you. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
So, the practice for this week, here's what I want you to do. You're going to practice this
week shifting your mind from problem-centric to provision, to solutions. It might be once a day,
it might be multiple times a day, but as soon as you start to feel the pressure, you start to feel
the problem, you start to feel the confusion, you start overthinking, pause and say, what already
exists? Lord, open my eyes to see what already exists that I'm not seeing. Lord, show me the
solution you've already provided. Just sit with that. Write what comes.
And even in your business application, you know, before you write in Substack Bev or before you go
out, you know, governmentally or in all the ways you're serving in the world, Natalie or Jackie,
as you're releasing this new business, before you post, before you reach out, before you plan,
just pause. Who's already ready? Because the people you're praying for are praying.
for you. The people you're looking for are looking for you.
I already said the fulfillment of the desire is already there.
If you've got a desire to serve women, those women are already
there. You see? So who's already ready? Where's the connection
already available? You know, we, we talked about that a little
bit in buyer signals and mark your calendar on the 18th of
April, 9am, Saturday, April 18th, 9am. I'm doing a master
class. And it's called build like Jesus. It's profit with
peace build like Jesus. That's the shift. We're not building
from pressure anymore. It's that question, where am I coming
from? What perspective am I coming from? So we're building
from source, we're building from solution, we're building
from provision. And over the next couple weeks, and in that
masterclass, I'm going to show you how this actually works.
It's how Jesus built. So be watching for that. Remember,
you're not lacking anything that's already provided. So
thankful you're here. So blessed that you chose to actually show
up live today. And praying for you. I love you. Love you to see
what God's doing.
Nice to meet you ladies, Natalie and Bev.
Nice to meet you, Jackie.
Yeah, thank you for praying and Bev. I just, I don't know. I'm
thankful for your life. And I'm thankful for how God has already
been using you and that he will continue to be glorified through
you. And I don't even know who you are. But he does.
Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, for Bev. I'm sure that
blesses her.
Nice meeting you girls.
And there's different women each week. There's more. Come back.
It's exciting and love you all. Tomorrow on Office Hours and
we'll see you next week with this and we'll see you the 18th
with Build Like Jesus. Lots of love. Bye bye.
