And good morning, good morning, good morning, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour.
This is where we are every Wednesday, 8am, it's part of the Prosper Leader Membership
and it's my great joy.
It's a wonderful way, you know, Wednesdays are, I've heard them called like hump days
or whatever.
I'm getting through the middle of the week, but hey, we hit it strong and the reason it's
on Wednesday and not Monday or Tuesday is Monday and Tuesday is my days off.
So Wednesday is really like my start of the week.
And so the Power Hour is, got four components that God showed me that I think are so important
for us to build.
He began speaking to me, oh, end of last year really, about heaven and earth and bringing
those together.
And little did I know that the year, the Jewish year actually, is that it's about heaven and
earth coming together.
So I was really fun when I saw that after the Lord had revealed it before.
So this is where we focus on one new promise a week.
And it's also where we pray, which is so important.
We look at biblical principle based on the promise and we have a practice that we can
do all week.
And so I'm super excited.
This one is, is really fun because we're not just, we're not just learning about something
and this is a powerful switch.
We're entering a place when you start seeing it that way, we're entering a place.
And so the intention for today is really, we're moving from fear to faith.
We've talked about that a lot from, from striving, right?
To resting, resting in his presence.
From reacting to responding.
Some of you saw some of the stuff I faced yesterday in my Facebook post.
I talked about it, learning to pause and respond, not react.
So before we start, cause we've got a really juicy one today.
I'm so excited what we're going to cover today.
I always open up to talk about any prayer requests and any praise reports, prayer requests
and praise reports.
Do we have any?
I know, Elen, you have surgery on the 27th on your wrist.
So we'll definitely pray for that.
I don't see Natalie here yet, but we'll continue to pray for her boys.
One recovering in his spine.
He was completely, when you see the picture, hunched over and he's up standing right again
and just praying that he gets strong.
So we'll continue and her other son to get a job.
I know we've been praying for that.
We continue to pray and celebrate Christie's healing.
That's been very exciting from stage four cancer.
So we continue to just praise and celebrate that.
Is there anything else before I get started?
This is the place.
Yes, Jackie.
Can you hear me okay?
Or am I still lagging?
I can hear you.
Okay, good.
Just the continued prayers for my sister, Sunny, that we brought up last week for her
apartment.
I talked to her a little bit yesterday and she shared with me her credit score is going
up slowly.
So we're praising God for that.
And she said, hopefully within the next few weeks.
I don't know what that looks like, that if that would be closer to me or where she's
at in Ohio.
But I'm just really asking the Lord just to, you know, let that go and help her decide
as he could speak to her about it.
And that grips it so tightly.
Love that.
Thank you.
Good.
We will pray she'll be in there perfectly.
And when you think about that, that God has the perfect place for us to be living.
You know, he, when you think about how, even before he
created Adam and Eve, he created the Garden of Eden, he created
their home. Yeah, where he even created them. So it matters to
him. He wants us to have a home. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. I love
that. Anything Amanda?
Yes. So pray for us to be able to sell this house soon that
we're going through the transition right now. And that
everything goes smooth with moving into our new home. And
with the closing date, and you know, just everything. So just
praying for the Lord to bring the right people to buy this
house, the right family, the right price, you know,
everything. Okay. And also, I have next Monday, I have a
checkup with my on ecologist. I have CLL. But it's the acute.
But God has healed. What does that stand for? Um, it's the
chronic leukemia. Okay. Oh, yeah. So, um, but he has healed
me and praise the Lord. But I'm just going to make sure that you
know, my blood levels are still. Yeah.
Definitely. Thank you for sharing that we will be
praying. You guys make a note of that. And you know, keep these
prayers all week nearby you. There's something so powerful
when two or more gather, right? Jesus always taught that. So and
even when everybody isn't here in the morning, like this
morning, they're they're listening to the replays. And
and they're praying like a land said last week, she was she was
right there, even though we didn't see her. And so we've
got like, like Ellen was saying, we've got some incredible prayer
warriors, Kim and Natalie and Christie and so your prayers
are being covered even when everybody can't be here in any
given moment morning. All right. I'm so excited to to share. So
so take a breath. And I just slow down your body for right
now. Because we're not we're not going to rush into this. We're
going to like I said, go into a place we're going to enter his
presence. So we're going to be reading today. And our promise
today is from Psalms 91. Now, I have to Did you raise your hand?
Jackie, you're muted. So I can't hear you. No, no, I'm just
praising you because you're talking about Psalm 91. It's my
favorite. Thank you. Oh, I don't take that very lightly. I'm just
sharing. I am so so glad that you shared talking about your
warriors. Here comes Kim. Um, so yeah, this has been amazing. In
fact, I'm going to grab my Bible real quick. Wow, Kim gets stuck
in the waiting room all the time. I feel so bad for her. I
don't know why it is. Just keeps her stuck in there. I'm gonna
just text her really quick. I don't know if she realized I let
her in but she doesn't come in. Oh, there she comes. Beautiful.
Okay. Um, you were you were stuck in the waiting room for a
long time. I was just about to text you girl. Yeah, my I'm so
sorry, ladies. It kept spinning and spinning. Yeah. Oh, I see
that. Well, your timings impeccable because we're talking
about Psalms 91. And I had just walked over and grab this is Kim
gave me this I don't know two years ago. I don't know how long
it's been. It's been the best gift. It's just an empty
journal. But the way it's lined and bound and just what it says
and everything. So I keep I keep every Bible study that I create
in here. This is my Bible study book. And so we're talking about
that today is Psalms 91. Our promises coming from Psalms 91.
And I think, you know, the two most powerful this is I mean,
they're all so good. Um, and for many, many years, I had a
practice, there's 150 of reading five a day. And if you do
do that, then every month you finish the entire book of
Psalms. I'll do one proverb because there's 30 of those. And
I'll do five, five Psalms. And it was just a habit I developed
like, I don't know, I was like 17. In addition to whatever I'm
reading in the New Testament. But every time I asked God
starting the day these days, what do you want me reading? And
he takes me to Psalms 91. And I've been, you know, going to
different translations. And so this week, normally, you'll see
me I'm often in the passion translation this week, I'm in
the new living translation. And you can see I, most of it is,
is is marked up. But wow, like God was getting me ready for
some of the stuff I was going to face yesterday. And my day
before it first started, my Facebook actually got shut down.
And that was not good. I'm doing an event on Saturday, most of
you know, the build like Jesus event. And it's like, wow, and
God had me read this. And it was so powerful. And I thought this
is what we have to do for our promise this week. And the
entire Psalms 91. During COVID. In 2020. Um, there was a pastor
that was called Psalms 91 equipping or something like
that. I don't remember the word, but he would teach Psalms 91
every single day for the entire time of COVID for a year or two,
that we went over Psalms 91 every single day. And that was
like the covering during COVID. And it was so powerful. There's
a there's of course, several verses in here, but like no
disease will come near your home and all of that kind of stuff
and claim that. And, and literally that, that was the
case. So I've seen so many miracles come out of this. Um,
my son was living with me at the time, neither one of us chose to
get the, the, the, the thing that was being suggested for us
at that time. And this, this was that this was, you know, ours.
And, um, and I didn't stop living to be truthful to glory
to God. I salsa danced and that means touching a lot of
different people's hands like every week. Like I didn't, I
didn't stop. I had meetings. I had prosper TV. Um, but this
was the armor and, and the protection. And my son used to
say, wow, all of my friends, everybody got it, but how come
we don't? And I, I would tell him Psalms 91, but we're not
going to do all of Psalms 91. It would take too much time, but I
encourage you to just like, get there. We're going to do the
first four verses. And, um, so we're going to do the first four
verses and I want to grab something over here too. Um, and
we're going to just break it down because, uh, it's really
about dwelling about declaring about what God will do and
about armor and protection. So this is, this is one of those
rich, rich promises that we want to just get into our memory,
maybe read it from different translations. So I'm going to
break it down just a little bit at a time. And so verse one from
the NLT version says this, it says, those who live, and I
circled the word live, those who live in the shelter, and I
circled the word shelter of the most high will find rest in the
shadow of the almighty. That's verse one. So I want you to get
that other translations use the word dwell. So those who live,
those who dwell in the shelter of the most high will find rest.
And that's something so many people are so hungry for. It's
kind of rest. It's so many people are are so tired right
now. It's not the kind of tired that a nap
or sleep solves. It's soul tired. I talk about it in my book, Total Soul Prosperity, about
being soul tired. And this opens by saying, when you dwell, when you live in the shadow
of the Most High, you find rest. When you dwell, when you live in the shelter of the
Most High, you find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. And then, verse two. So for
verse one, just write the word dwell. We're going to come back to it. Dwell. Verse two
says this. This I declare about the Lord. So next to verse two, you could write the
word declare. There's dwell, then there's declare. This I declare about the Lord. He
alone. And I underline that. He alone. Remember, we talk often about who or what is your source.
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety. Notice again, dwell is a place. And this declaration,
he is my place. We're talking about inhabiting a place of safety. He is my God, and I trust
him. So there's this declaration that says this, I declare. He alone is my refuge, my
place of safety. He is my God, and I trust him. Often, when you don't understand what's
going on, I will often say, I don't know the answer, but I trust you. I don't know what
to do, but I trust you. It's that declaration. I trust you. I trust you and you alone. You
are my God, and I trust you. And so verse one, dwell. Verse two, this is declare. Verse
three comes into God's part. Those are kind of what I'm declaring, and God answers that
declaration in verse three. For he will, he will rescue you from every trap. He will
rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. So there's this rescue
and protection is built into this promise. And I love that it says, he'll rescue you
from every trap. We're going to talk about the many traps. And finally, verse four, which
fits so well, why we do the Prosper Power Hour, why we do a promise, why I wanted to
have us have, you know, if we meet 52 weeks, 52 new promises, like why just we want to
soak in these promises. Well, verse four says he will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings. And here's the part I want to grab. His faithful promises
are your armor and protection. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Made
me think about what Kim gave me, this journal that I keep all my Bible studies in. I'm a
child of God, a woman of faith, a warrior of Christ. I am the storm. And look at how
she's dressed in in armor right there. So beautiful of a picture. And this is saying
his faithful promises because God is faithful. His faithful promises are your armor and your
protection. So let's break it down a little bit. Let's go a little bit deeper. So part
one is dwell. Dwell. So the truth in this is
If you're really walking with God, you don't visit God.
You live there.
You learn what it means to abide, to dwell, to live in his presence.
Jesus talked about it too.
If you abide in me and my word abides in you, you can ask anything you want, right?
So it's this concept of this is your dwelling place.
This is your habitation.
This is the place.
People treat God like a meeting, like somewhere I go, like a duty, like a religious obligation,
like something.
Okay, I did my 15 minutes.
This is the creator of the universe.
This is infinite love.
This is infinite wisdom.
This is infinite power.
This is infinite goodness.
You want a little drop?
You want to go have a quick meeting?
Or do you want to learn what it is to dwell in that place, to abide, to live in that place?
So if you think a little bit about like our nervous system and how God wired us, okay,
when we feel safe, our nervous system regulates, the vagus nerve, everything calms.
We get into a parasympathetic state, the rest and digest state.
And when you're regulated, when you're in that parasympathetic state, you get clarity.
You can actually begin to see things you can't.
If you're in the fight or flight, if you're in the fear, if you're in the sympathetic
state, everything is clenched.
And so you're not operating from creativity.
You're not able to make decisions.
You're not operating from clarity and creativity and powerful decision making.
But when it's regulated, all those things increase, right?
This is how our body works.
So when we feel unsafe, we move into the sympathetic, the fear, the scarcity, the reactive decision
making.
And so here's the insight for all of this.
If you're not dwelling, just grab a hold of this.
If you're not dwelling, if you're not abiding, if you're not living from this place, not
just a quick meeting, but living from this place, then the default is going to go to
fear.
The default is going to go to the sympathetic system, right?
And so then you start having anxiety about money.
You start having pressure to perform, pressure to fix things.
You start having a fear of loss.
What if I lose clients?
What if I lose income?
What if I lose my house?
We have this idea, whereas in the other state, you can walk in this faith and this certainty
that God has called us to live with, that nothing that is mine can be taken from me.
Whatever God has for me, nothing can take it.
It's a completely different way.
And so these things are not strategies in our business.
These have to do with who or what is our source, right?
And so that's why the next part when it says, I will declare this, I declare, there's a
reason for that.
There's a reason why part of the Prosper Daily Planner that you do every single day is declarations.
There's a reason.
I don't put that in there random.
This is God's word.
This is science to declare, to learn the power.
Scripture says thou shall declare a thing and it will be established.
Thou shall decree a thing and it shall be established.
Declaration is not denial.
It's aligning with the truth of God's word.
And you see, our brain follows our most dominant language patterns, what we're speaking, we're
harvesting it.
What we repeatedly say actually becomes what we believe.
What we repeatedly say becomes what we believe.
And then what we believe determines our behavior.
You see how this works?
And so the challenge is many are declaring, this just isn't working.
king. This is too hard. Maybe I'm not supposed to do this.
What if this fails? I feel like I'm behind. We're declaring the
fear side of things instead of the certainty and faith side of
things. Whatever we focus on expands. Instead of declaring
like this did, he is my God, period. God is my source. No
person, no client, no spouse, no government, no retirement fund
is my source. God is my source. When we get clear on that,
everything else gets clear. We declare, I am guided, I am
guarded, I am led. I do the combination of the declarations
and the I am statements. The I am has to do with establishing
our identity. I am the daughter of the Most High God. I am the
temple of the Holy Spirit. I am led. I could go on and on. I
add new ones every single day. These declarations, I want you
to get these. These declarations are either reinforcing fear, or
they're activating your faith. That's why scripture says,
stand guard at the door of your mouth. That's why the Proverbs
say the power of life and death is in the tongue. It's why the
book of James says the tongue is more powerful even than a forest
fire than anything else. God has given us the power of words. The
first words are impacting us, our body, our health, our
praise, our gratitude, what we're declaring, what we're
expecting. The declarations are either reinforcing fear, or
they're activating faith. Then God is faithful. Part three, he
comes in, and it says he rescues you from every trap. I really
meditated on that. Many people are in the trap of debt. The
debt is practically just swallowing them. It's
unmanageable. That's a trap. It's a trap set by the financial
institutions. It's designed from the time you get out of college
to get you stuck in the debt trap. God will rescue you. When
you submit to him, he'll give you the wisdom, and he'll rescue.
Maybe it's bad decisions. Maybe it's the trap of wrong
partnerships. Some of our people listening to this that are
prosper leader members got into a bad partnership. It looks
good. This could be a bad relationship can be a bad
business partnership. Maybe we missed an opportunity, or maybe
we're, we're a subject to manipulation or control. He
rescues us from every trap. Sometimes people think, I messed
up too much. This is saying there's no trap that God can't
redeem. He's all powerful. He's the creator of the universe.
Love that. Then we finish. I could have kept going. I love
Psalms 91. We could have just kept on going and going, but I
thought I'll stop on number four. I thought this just tells
why. Why are we doing a new promise every single week? Why?
It says his promises are your armor. Just think about that.
His promises are your armor. Armor is not passive. Armor is
something that you put on. It's a choice. It's a decision. You
put it on. This is why we study a new promise every single week.
I pray that this is blessing you, and you enjoy it, and you
really keep that promise all week long. Because these
promises begin to replace the fear loops, the programming of
the fear loop. The promises start stabilizing our decisions.
The promises protect our mind. Part of the armor is the helmet,
and it protects our mind. It's the shield of faith. It's the
one that covers our heart. These promises, because one of
the keys of victory and success in every area of your life is
learning how to move beyond. This is faith. We walk by faith
and not by sight. It's learning to go beyond what you're
eyes see. So your eyes will see a diagnosis, your eyes will see a bank
account, your eyes will see a struggle, like your eyes will see the mess. Faith
is the ability to go beyond what your eyes see and walk in a level of
certainty that is based completely on who God is, what God said, and what these
promises are. And so, you know, as I was taking a walk day before yesterday when
my Facebook got shut down, that night, like, it hit me and fear wanted to take
over because I've had my LinkedIn shut down and I never got it back. And it was
funny, it was right after I made a video and I wrote a post and I said,
if you relate to this post, you probably saw it, comment, build like Jesus. And the
minute I had typed build like Jesus, I got this notification. Yeah, and I was
like, isn't that just like the enemy, right? And it said I had 180 days to
appeal. And I don't know that it was that or the enemy was using that. It
could have been other things that I'm having to clean up and fix in my
Facebook to make sure that it follows all the guidelines, which I'm doing. But
at that moment, I've had my Facebook since 2012. And I have, I don't know,
probably 28 groups and pages. I've got 1000s in all different places. I mean, I
don't know, I've got at least 5000 just on my personal profile alone, not
counting business pages and groups and everything else. So this is something I've
built since 2012. So it could feel like a very scary loss. And it's right before
I'm doing the build like Jesus, you know, conversation on Saturday, which is
the main way I reach out to people and follow up people and do things. And so
it looked for a moment that I could lose all of that. And that's how the enemy
works. He puts a fear of loss in there. What if you lose your health? What if
you lose your clients? What if you lose your house? What if you lose your
income? What if you lose right? What if you lose? And so it was this type of
certainty to say, I'm not going to react. I'm going to respond. And I'm
going to grab my dog. We're going to go for a walk. I'm going to breathe. Pause.
Always pause, I'm going to start with gratitude and say what a gift. You said
you work all things together in my life for good. What's the good here that I'm
not seeing? And this is good. I'm trusting that this is good. It will work
for good. And so it's this declaration, you are my God. I trust you. If this
season is over, and you don't want me on social media, I trust you. What are we
doing next God, the willingness to surrender and not have any fear that you
know what, like Job said, even if I lose everything, yet will I praise you.
That's the place of total surrender that I am complete with God. I don't need God
plus. If I have God, I have everything. And so okay, if that's supposed to go, I
trust you. Otherwise, you'll get the wisdom and you'll work this through. He
is my God, that declaration, I will trust. Right? And then the enemy wants to
war with you. Get back, you know, get ready to go to bed, and anxieties coming
up. And the first thing that hits is your desire to fix things. That's
reactiveness. That's not leaning in. I got to fix this. Okay, what should I do?
Should I work by text? Should I should I do by email? Should I should I work
through my membership site? Okay, what like your brain starts going in
overdrive to try to fix and I decided I'm not going to react. I am going to
surrender this. I'm going to go to sleep in peace. I fell asleep listening to
beautiful YouTube prayer and stuff and woke up at three in the morning tried to
hit me again. Same. Then I woke up in the morning. I'm not going to go do my
appeal.
yet. I'm not going to do anything until what we just saw here. I'm making sure I'm completely
dwelling. And when I sit down to write the appeal, the energy of certainty will be there. God's got
this. This is working out the way it's supposed to. And I had a double whammy yesterday. I had
the Facebook and I had a dentist appointment that is not a good one. So it's like, what are you
going to do? Can you move beyond your eyes and settle into this? And so that we're clothed
in these promises. If you're not clothed in these promises, if you're not dwelling in this place,
you'll be exposed to pressure. Pressure to fix. Pressure to perform. Pressure.
That it's on me. We take it off of him and it's on me. I got to do something.
We're reactive. Much of the problems come from reaction. I better take out a loan to pay for
that. I better go do this. I better quit this and do this. We get into a reactive pattern.
Is this anybody relating to what I'm sharing or is it just me? I'll let you guys make a few
comments and then we're going to go into prayer. Anybody relating to this?
So good. Me. Thank you, Amanda. Kim says, thank you. Jackie says, yes.
Kim says, yes. All in capitals. Okay. Glad you guys. It's not just me. All right. Let's go into
prayer and then we're going to have our practice. We're going to go into prayer and then we're going
to have our practice. Think about this prayer of, God, I choose to dwell and not visit.
I choose to trust and not strive. I choose to declare and not doubt. You are our refuge.
You are our safety. You are our source. You rescue us from every trap. You cover us. You
protect us. You align us. Your promises. Right? So let's go into prayer and don't forget we're
praying for a lens surgery on the 27th for Jackie's sister, Sunny, to live where God's got
her highest and best place to live, if it's in Ohio or if it's closer to Jackie, that she gets
her apartment and where that's supposed to be. And Amanda, that her house sells soon.
They got a new offer. They're moving into a new place so that their current house
sells with ease and grace. And also she's got a checkup and we just continue to declare
her healing from the CLL, the leukemia. She is the healed of the Lord. We continue to declare that.
So keep that in your prayers all week. Let's pray it right now. Let's do what we normally do. Let's
take turns praying and then I'll close us out and then we'll come back and talk about the practice,
the activation. Okay. Whoever wants to pray first, just go ahead.
Father God, I lift up Amanda to you at this very moment. I thank you for her life. I thank you for
what you are doing in and through her family, Lord. And right now we lift up the house situation,
Father, that you are sending out angels to protect her home at this time, her new one and
her old one, as she leaves it behind. We pray that things will move quickly and successfully
with your favor just being poured out upon this family, Lord. And that you have the right family
that you are choosing, Father, to live in this new place to make their own memories, Father.
And that they would feel the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit dwells in her home as well,
just not inside of them, but in their home. And so that they would know that, Father,
that that is the place for them. And I thank you, Lord.
for the good report that will be coming back for her health, Lord, that we're going to
praise you and honor you and just come back here next week and go, Oh, my goodness, look
what you've done, because you already went ahead of her, Father.
And so we thank you for that.
And I pray that your peace would cover her mind and that you would carry her well so
she can carry you well, Father God, as she gives you all the praise and honor and the
glory.
Dear Heavenly Father, we just thank you, Lord, for this gathering with all these amazing
women, Lord, and just learning more about you, Heavenly Father, and surrendering everything
to you, God, trusting you more, Lord, abiding in you, Lord, and just reminding us, God,
that you are our main source, Lord, and that take away any stress or any overwhelming or
any fear that we have, God, because we know that is not from you, that is from the enemy.
And we just ask you, Lord, to be with Helen on her next appointment that she has for her
surgery, for her wrist, God, and we just ask you, Lord, to heal her, Lord, put the
right doctors to operate on the surgery with her, Heavenly Father, and just cover her,
Lord, with your comfort and your peace and with your healing afterwards, God.
And we just ask you, Lord, to be with Jackie's sister as she is going through this transition,
Lord, of finding the right apartment, Lord, and we just ask you, Lord, to give her the
provision, give her the clarity, give her the wisdom, Lord, of where she should live.
And we just ask you, Lord, to give her the peace of mind, Lord, to know, God, that it is
your will to place her in the right place where she is supposed to be, Heavenly Father.
And we just ask you, Lord, to continue to be with me with selling her house and just let
everything go smooth and peace of mind, God, in the way that you want it to be, Lord, and
surrender everything to you, Heavenly Father, and just get the right buyers and the right
cost for the house and just the new transition to go smooth and peaceful as well as moving
into our new home in the closing date and just everything that aligns up with your purpose,
Lord. We just ask you, Lord, to continue to heal me in the name of Jesus with my
oncologist appointment, Lord, and just let everything go well and my white blood counts to be
lower. And we just praise you and glorify you and advance, God, for your continuously healing,
Lord. And we just uplift the rest of these women, the rest of this week, God, let us walk
into favor in your purpose and intention. In Jesus's name. Amen.
Father God, I just thank you for this community of women here and knowing that we can abide
and live directly in you through you and that each and every one of our lives, Father, is a
healing process, Lord. I pray for Brenda and just so thankful for the blessings that she has
provided for each and every one of us because of her love for you, Lord. We ask that you would
cover her in every area of healing, every area of presenting of life in itself, Lord, along with
these wonderful, beautiful ladies that are dearly loved and chosen by you, Father. We just thank you
for the blessings that are coming and the new freedoms, a new level of abiding and living in
you, Father God, and just total surrender, Father God, because we know you are the shelter in every
storm and every win in life and in every challenge, Father God, whether it be mind, body, and spirit,
Father, we just pray that you will renew us, not only renew, but replace the old, Father. Give us a
new start, a new fresh start each and every moment of the day that we trust in you, Father. We are
thankful for the healing over each and every one of these women, Lord, in every area of their
life, Lord, for helping for her wrist, Lord, that we just pray that this surgery
upcoming, Lord, it will be masterful of the surgeons and the nurses, everyone, the
protection over that and the expedited healing, Father God, in that
wrist area and every cell in her body, every bone from the top of her head to
the bottom of her feet. We also pray that for Amanda, Lord, that we pray that
the results that come back would be a declaration of your mightiness in
working on her body and the healing, Father God. We pray for Jackie and her
sister, Lord, we pray for the unity of close proximity and the anointing of
Sonny and her heart and her discipline to honor you, Lord, and just thankful
for Jackie being part of this collaboration and community, Father, that
you are just anointing her with such peace and clarity so that she can carry
it through her family and generations, Lord. We're just thankful for that, Lord.
We're thankful for each and every woman that is listening maybe through Facebook
or the repeat of this, Father God. I'm thanking you, Lord, that you're giving me
a new freedom, a new type of healing, Lord, even in the storms and that we know
that nothing that the devil has for us will bind in our surrender to you, Father
God. So we just thank you for this, for the blessing, for the surrender, Lord, in
your holy, holy name. We just love you. Amen.
Oh, Lord, I'm so, so grateful you told us to enter your courts with praise and your
gates with thanksgiving. So we pause to say thank you. Thank you for choosing
this group of women for this moment, for this hour, to come together in faith,
knowing that that's not only where we dwell, that's where you dwell. You inhabit
our praises. You inhabit our prayers. When two or more are gathered, when two or
more touch and agree, you are there and I feel your presence in this gathering. I
feel your peace. I feel your moving. I feel and we celebrate the miracles that
have happened and we anticipate bigger and bigger and bigger miracles that as
our light shines, you have said we are the light of the world and that it's
not to be hidden under a bushel, but it's to be placed and as our light shines, it
touches all those around us. And so the light that is coming from this gathering
that will carry forth into relationships and families and churches and
communities, I thank you what you're doing here. It's a seed that's been
planted in the ground that will have a mighty harvest. Thank you for women
waking up early, taking time, being willing to pray, being willing to love on
each other, being willing to build community. Thank you for your goodness.
Thank you for your faithfulness. You are a faithful God. You are a miracle working
God. You are a healing God and I thank you for whatever healing is needed that
it's already done. So I know Michelle can't be here today, but she had shoulder
surgery. We lift her up that the healing is complete. Body, soul, and spirit that
she feels you elevating her in her mind, elevating her
in her heart, elevating her in her body. We thank you for the miracle of Christi's healing.
We celebrate that, that as a testimony, those testimonies are seeds for even more healing.
So I thank you for Amanda's healing. You said on the cross, by your stripes, Isaiah says,
we have been healed. You said on the cross it is finished. So I thank you that healing
is part of what you purchased in our redemption. I thank you that peace. I thank you for the
healing. I thank you for Elen's wrist to be stronger, healthier, even better than before
she fell. I thank you for the continued healing of Natalie's boys, Bruce and Anthony. I thank
you for the continued support and growth for Kim's mother and the peace that you're giving
Kim as she enters this new season and she rises to the fullness of all that you have called her to.
I thank you, Lord. Every prosper woman is so beautiful.
Bless them, Lord. Prosper them physically, financially, spiritually, relationally.
Bless their impact as they sow. Bless the harvest and their income as they multiply.
Bless their joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Bless their joy, Lord, to strengthen,
to go into this season. We love you, Lord. You're so good. You're so good.
You're so good. We thank you for this and so much more. For the very gift of life
that you chose to wake us up this morning means you're not done with
all that you want to do in and through us.
I pray like Paul prayed in Ephesians that you will strengthen us with might in our inner
woman. Strengthen us with might. Fear will no longer govern us. We walk by faith and not by sight.
And like what we read today, this together we declare. You are our God. In you,
in you, we fully trust. Teach us to walk in that certainty today. In Jesus name, amen.
Feeling God's presence today here in this place, you mighty women, you.
What a joy. What a joy. What a joy. Okay, let's look at our practice in the last three minutes
here. And so I want you to think about what was in Psalms 91 and add this to your practice. And
of course, it's built into the Prosper Daily Planner. I hope you guys are just using that
to keep yourself on track. You know, Prosper Daily keeps the squirrels away, as I like to say.
So first, dwell. Just take 30 seconds. It doesn't take much. 30, 60 seconds
to just sit with your feet on the ground to breathe. Remember, we did some powerful breathing.
And just become aware of his presence. Acknowledge his presence.
Remember, we've done some breathing in the past to really dwell there. To say, you know,
I'm in you. You're in me. We are one. To just get back into that place that we're not separate.
Okay, so dwell. Number two, like we read today, declare. Declare. So speak.
Eek Psalms 91 to out loud. He alone is my refuge. He is my
God. In him do I trust. Right? We, we begin to declare and
there's a place in your in your prosper daily planner, allow
mine that I'm currently using. And you get to put your
declarations and you also get to put what you're grateful for.
And you get to do it says five minutes of of I am affirmations.
So I love those. Because you're you're rewiring your nervous
system into the identity that lines up with his word, right?
All these things, they're rewiring you. And, and they
change you and done on a daily basis. You know, scripture says
that we're transformed, like we're completely changed by the
renewing of our mind re means do it again, and again, and again,
make new, make it new again, make it new again, make it new
again, renewing of our mind. And we're doing this, we're washing
ourselves in the word, we're using our mouth to establish
we desire not to speak what we don't desire into life, right?
And then so we dwell, we declare, and then even take a
minute to put on the armor, it said today, your promises, your
faithful promises are our armor. So choose a promise that you're
declaring Amanda over the sale of your house, right? Or Jackie
over your sister, or, you know, Kim over your business, or, you
know, I'm a land over your healing, like, choose a promise
that you stand on. It's like you notice when I did that walk with
my dog, the first thing I did was Romans 828. That's one of
the promises we've learned, right? That God works every
single thing together for good for those who love him and are
called according to his purpose. That's us. Okay. So I
love him. That means everything is working together for good. So
I'm declaring that on my walk, hey, this doesn't look good. But
it is good. I'm declaring it good. Because you've said that
everything works together for good, right? And and so choose,
choose a promise for your business or your finances or, or
your body, right? You don't have to strive for this, you
step into it. And so this week, I want you just thinking about,
am I having a meeting with God? Or am I dwelling? Am I becoming
aware of his presence? Am I practicing his presence? There's
an old old book, I don't know, maybe the 1400s or something
written by Brother Lawrence, called Practicing the Presence.
It's a little book, old old Catholic monastery. But he just
made a habit that he would practice the presence of God. If
he was doing dishes, he was practicing the presence of God
while he was doing. And that's what this is really talking
about is like, does he abide in me? Do I abide in him? Am I
aware of the oneness? Am I aware, like David said, where
can I go that your spirit is not? That's a level of
awareness. You see, when we lack awareness, we live separated.
But when we step into this dwelling, we come back into a
wholeness. And that's the certainty and the faith that we
can walk in. Love you guys. See you tomorrow office hours. And
then also remember, Saturday, I'm doing a free masterclass, a
free conversation micro event called profit with peace build
like Jesus. So if you haven't registered for that, be sure you
do. It's on all my Facebook pages, you can see the link and
we'll see you then. Lots of love. Until next time.
