And good morning everyone, welcome, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour.
This is where we are every Wednesday, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
This is our time to tap into the promises of God, the principles found in scripture
for life and business, and to just come together and pray.
It's part of the Prosper Leader membership, Wednesdays focusing on the heaven side of
things, and Thursday, of course, is office hours at 9 a.m. PST, part of the Prosper Leader
membership.
So we always like to start this, and a lot of times it's before I start recording, but
we like listening to the praise reports and what God's been doing to just celebrate and
walk in Thanksgiving, and also to pray.
And so we prayed last week for Amanda, and so she was just giving a praise report from
the oncologist, which is really, really exciting, the white blood cells being lower.
And we were talking about the doctor's report, and I felt led to just share a little principle
before we jump into the main part of today's Bible study, but it really made me think,
because words are so powerful.
The power of life and death is in the tongue, and especially when they come from an authority.
So when we hear something from a teacher, a pastor, a doctor, someone we consider an
authority, it carries a lot of weight in our spirit, and we have to really guard.
We have to guard what we allow in our spirit, because the doctors have their understanding
and they're seeing it from their perspective, but there's a higher order, which is the Lord
God, right?
And so we have to remember that, and I've never forgotten a couple of times that I was
so reminded of that.
One was just a mighty, mighty man of God that I met in Missouri when I was speaking in Missouri
and he'd been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
And anyway, he was a painter by trade, and I'll never forget him telling the story that
when he went in the doctor's office, this is a well-meaning doctor that cares, but these words,
and so the doctor pointed at a wheelchair and said, look, this is where you're heading.
You need to prepare.
You need to put down your paintbrush, and you need to start getting your house ready,
and so on.
This is where you're heading.
Like, that's so intense to get a visual and a word like that, but I'll never forget his
response.
He was a mighty man of God.
It stuck with me.
He walked outside and he said, Lord, I've heard the doctor's report.
What do you say?
And this is something God's been speaking to me about.
You know, the truth will set you free, right?
And so what's the truth about this, Lord, right?
And especially you go, like, what we're doing, this is why we do the promises of God.
What does scripture say about this, right?
But your stripes, you know, I have been healed, right?
He bore our sicknesses, you know, all of that, you know, song and dance.
Psalms 91, who heals all your diseases, you know, and all the gospels, Jesus healed them
all.
So the Lord spoke to him and said, you're going to be meeting someone who has an answer
that I'm going to use for your healing.
That someone happened to be my husband, and that's how I know this story.
We were founders of a nutrition company at that time, and our product completely, our
immune system product at that time completely changed his life.
And so there's so many stories like that, right?
And what we've been hearing with Christie and just believing that she's going to be
completely cancer free.
And she too right now has arrived at that space and saying, Lord, this will be a testimony
to millions.
And so I started to tell you when I was pregnant with my son, I had gotten chickenpox while
I was pregnant and in the first trimester.
And medically speaking, the doctor began to inform me that there's 50% chance of me dying
in childbirth.
and that the child would probably be born extremely deformed, brain outside the head,
or no limbs. He just really brought me a stack of papers. He turned white as a ghost. I tell this
story in my book, Total Soul Prosperity. There's so many miracles in there. And so,
um, you know, he just, he said, most women in your condition would choose to terminate
the pregnancy. So those are some heavy words coming at you, right? And, um,
my spirit just rose up. My spirit rose up. And I said, um, no, God knew this baby before,
before it was in my womb. And I said, um, either he will be completely healed or God will give me
the grace, but no, that's, that's not happening. And, um, but those, those words, it's the ability
to have the ability to filter when stuff comes at us. And I don't care if it's the news or the
pastors or whatever, a prophet, like you have to filter them and say, that's not my reality.
That's not what the word says. That's not my, my truth. Right. So I'm so glad that you did that.
I'm celebrating with you on that, Amanda, because, um, that's what God, that's what it means
scripturally to walk by faith and not by sight. Right. That's, that's literally what it means.
We're not Bible says judge, not by appearances. We're not, we're not judging by the way. Good
morning, Natalie. I didn't say good morning to you yet either. And, um, and good morning, Kim.
I didn't say, yeah, I didn't say good morning to you too. I saw you in the waiting room there.
So yes, praise report for Amanda. We're celebrating and we continue to pray, um, any updates on the
house or anything we need to be, uh, praying or, or, or praising in relationship to that.
Um, just still keep on praying that we find, um, a buyer. Okay. We've had a lot of house showings.
So we're just hoping that, you know, um, it just is the right person, the right song or whatever
it is. So we're just praying, you know, you got it. You got it. So glad you're here. And so glad
you're sharing that. So yes. Okay. So you guys were all documenting these and writing these down
and praying all week and touching and agreeing. That's the power of, of this. So any other praise
reports, um, prayer requests? Yes. Jackie. So continue to pray for my sister. Um, so my sister,
I never really showed, shared the whole thing. What was been going on with her. She's been living
with a couple for three years and I'm just going to say it. They practice a lot of witchcraft.
Yeah. And so, um, I know the Lord has been protecting my sister. And so, um, the lady
that she lives with, she's been going through her own issues. Um, my sister works nights.
She got home to her, to her room and the lady is kicking her out, um, at the end of May. Um,
so I believe it's God's plan because all of a sudden, since we've been praying for her,
you know, for an apartment for her, since that happened, um, now things are starting to come
in for rental places for her. And so she has a couple to look at, um, I believe maybe one tomorrow
and the next one on May 4th. Fabulous. Um, she's in a little bit of distraught. I am pretty much
peaceful as I could be. And I'm just continuing to encourage her and just throw out words from
him that comfort her at this time in prayer. You know what, what, um, the promise for today is
going to be very relevant. And if she's open, you might want to share the prayer from today
and the promise that we're doing today. I think it's going to be really relevant for that. So
awesome. So we'll continue to pray for your sister. Remind me her name.
Uh, Sunny. Okay. S-U-N-N-I. S-U-N-N-I. Okay. We'll continue to pray for Sunny. Anyone else, um,
praise reports, uh, prayer requests? Kim, did you just raise your hand? Yeah.
Hey, ladies. Sorry. I, my, um, the prayer requests, it's for my daughter, um, and my sister,
actually, um, my sister, uh, fell the other day. She had injured her hip, I think, moving her
canopy because of the crazy storms we've been having. Right. And, uh, so she had kind of,
you know, pulled something in her back and she ended up falling, um, Sunday. And she said that,
um, I know she was going to get a CT scan, her name.
Cheyenne. Okay. And she's just had a lot of health issues. She's, I think, dealing with like bulimia.
She ended up, she had weighed and then she, I think, ended up, I mean, like she's really thin
and having CT scans. She had a biopsy on her breast yesterday and then falls. Oh, you know,
she had the CT scan before the fall. No, she was having the biopsy yesterday. And then
I told her to go into ER. She said her knee, because she fell on her kneecap and she said
it was just really swollen. You need to get that looked at right away because she was in a lot of
pain. So then I was on the phone with my daughter. That's why it's like getting on, like muted
myself. My daughter called me and she was in Gridley, which is like an hour plus, hour and a
half from Sacramento. And her doctor, she's having a lot of back issues. She has a cracked
vertebrae that they found out just a couple of weeks ago and a herniated two disc back to back.
And she's having tingling and numbness in her left side. So she's pretty young. So they,
her and my granddaughter, she took my granddaughter with her on their way to Kaiser and Roosevelt. So,
and you know, there's really bad storms right now. So, I mean, she's a total believer. I was
telling her what you're talking about in Amanda's report that whatever the report says is null and
void. We don't, we don't go into agreement with that. And then I think the praise report is I've
been having some really great success with I think just feeling better with the vertigo and everything.
I had to give up my business trip to Phoenix last week. I was,
that's the first time I was like the whole FOMO thing, but God just showed me an inner
peace about that. So, and that he's bringing me into a new, brand new season, not a renewal,
not a relinquishing, a new balance, a new season in which I've never been before.
So I just feel his presence, being obedient to that. It's almost something was broke off. Does
that make sense? Normally I would be in, you know, I had new team members that never met me before
that I was supposed to meet in Phoenix and all the things that would normally just take me
up a notch or two. Right. And and, you know, I just felt like, even though like something was
broke off, I had this massage and I felt horrible and then something was broke off of me. I can't
even explain it. It's just being obedient to going, okay, I just let go of this. I surrender.
I surrender. I love that Kim. That's all good praises. Oh, I love that. As long as I've known
you, I see, I want to confirm that I see and I feel the change in you. I see it. And so I'm
super, super, super excited about that. Sometimes he gives us things, right? Amanda,
sometimes we're given, we all know that he gives us things that not necessarily
are something we would ever want upon as desire so that we can let go of that and
surrender it totally to him. And I think that's the place he had me in for so many layers of
decades of just get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, you know, high, you know,
management and caretaking and all that. And he's like, yeah, no more. That's not my best for you.
And your new version is right here, right now, but you have to let go of it all.
So I love it. You know, you're, you're talking something so core and so important, Kim,
thank you for bringing that up. Um, what you're really talking about is identity and, um, we can
try to change external things, but until we see our identity correctly, the change doesn't happen.
So when we actually see ourselves as those things, as the daughter of the most high God, as healed,
as walking, as successful, as prosperous, that actually it's, it's, it's who we are,
not something we're trying to seek and chase after. And so you move from this external Kim.
I need to get, I need to change, I need to go after, I need to work hard, I need to strive, I need to press.
You're stepping into I am.
I am the daughter of the Most High God. I am already prosperous. I am healed. I am whole and
we can then go forward and actually serve in such a higher level when we go forward
whole. I'm already whole in you. If I have God in me, I have everything in me. If I'm the temple
of the Holy Spirit, if it's Christ in me, I have all. The maker of heaven and earth, I have the
mind of Christ, right? So when I'm coming from that place of fullness, and this is lining up
for exactly what we're going to talk about today and today's promise. So this, you guys just having
this in advance and I, for those of you listening, I don't normally record this part. This is, we do
this and then I start the recording, but I think it's divine that everybody needs to hear this part
of why we're even doing this and why these promises matter and why these prayers and the
victory that's possible for us, right?
Brenda, can I say something real quick? Because I feel like, you know, like he has given me a new
testimony. You know what my coaching is. So I coach on this. I coach in women's self-identity
healing. It's part of my coaching practice, but for the longest time I put it to the side,
you know, in life too. Life has come to me, right? In different ways. So I've had to say
no to things, but I realized that this new creation, this, it is a testimony for me
so that I can break off the imposter syndrome that I have had weighing on me since
because I'm like, well, how can I teach this? I can teach this all day long and help others,
but I'm not doing it myself. Does that make sense? So good. I'm just like,
I have to share that because that song, I'm a living testimony and I think about that and I'm
like, oh my gosh, you're breaking off layers and decades of me thinking that I'm an imposter and
cannot do or not equipped correctly because of these things. And that's such a false,
it's such a lie. It's my testimony to bring more in. I love that. God blesses someone.
I thank you for sharing that and your courage to be honest about that because
imposter syndrome is something that keeps so many women from fully showing up.
And so, and that's the reason, another reason why we're gathering like this every Wednesday,
because the truth will set you free. And the more, you know, the promises of God, the more
you're stepping into to this, the more those things just fall off of you. And so Kim, I don't
have the exact Psalm. I'll look it up for you, but I'm going to tell you the words of it. You
may know which Psalm or some of you may already know which Psalm this is, but there's a Psalm
where David says, he pulled me out of the mud and mire, like the muck. He pulled me out of the muck
and he set my foot on a solid rock and he put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise,
and many will see and wonder. Okay. I'm giving you the, my closest version paraphrase, depending
what translation you read it in. But that Psalm is what you just spoke. He has pulled you out of
the muck and mire of self-doubt and imposter syndrome and striving and all that stuff is
muck and mire. And he's put your foot on a solid rock. You're standing on different ground now.
And he's put a new song in your mouth and it's a song of praise to God. And in that process,
like you said, many will see and wonder. So thank you for, for sharing that. I think it's really
important. Your testimony is powerful. Love it. Okay. Anyone else have praise or prayer
before we actually go into the lesson? For me, my surgery is on Monday for my hand.
Okay. So I would appreciate everyone praying for them to totally correct it for me to get
full mobility of my wrist. And then another thing that happened in the last week, twice,
the Holy Spirit came through when I was speaking with people.
Wow.
And one of them was last Saturday, we met some people that my husband met at work,
and we ended up at their house for three and a half hours. And he was, it was basically
a very advanced conversation about how the government and the world is not like people
think it should be. And so it was like peeling onion skins of getting to the truth.
And during the conversation, all of a sudden the Holy Spirit came over me and I said to the guy,
you know, I appreciate everything that you're teaching. And I know tidbits of a lot of what
he was talking about, but he went into depth. And what came through was that no matter
what you're studying, the history and everything, you need to still every day, at least spend an
hour into the Bible, because as you're studying the Bible, I call it like Excel. If anybody here
has studied Microsoft Excel, how when you get into advanced, it's like going into hidden libraries
in it. And the Bible becomes like that. And what I shared with them is,
although you're spending all this time into this, when we have our day where we're called home by
the Father, I believe our wisdom goes with us. And I told him, I says, you need to really be
focusing on your spiritual senses, because one, what you're studying is going to become clearer
when you filter it with God's eyes, God's hearing and everything. And it was just so amazing that
even when I was done, it was like, all those words came out of me. That wasn't me.
I love that. The Lord just spoke right through you.
Yeah. And I didn't tell him it was the Holy Spirit, but the thing is, is it's like,
little old me couldn't have said it all, so it was really cool.
I love that. Thank you for sharing that. So we're praying for your wrist is Monday,
and we're praising God that scripture actually says that at any moment, at any time,
that God gives us the words to say. And that's always my prayer, speak through me,
love through me, coach through me. If we have the mind of Christ and the Holy Spirit living in us,
and the power of life and death in our tongue, then yes, yes, yes, yes. So I love,
and you've always been such a beautiful, you've been so beautiful in my life all these years,
and wisdom does flow from you, and just your peaceful way of sharing the love of God.
And so that man is blessed that you were there, and you were willing to open your mouth,
and the Lord spoke through you. So I'm so excited. Okay, I know we're going to run out of
time. Let's keep going real quick. Any other praise reports or prayer requests that I'm going
to get us started, get into our promise? Remember, every week we do a promise, we do a principle,
we pray, and then we do a practice that we can do for the week. So anything else that I need to have
listed for us to be praying? Don't want to miss anybody. Everybody matters here.
Okay, if not, let's get started then. So today's promise, there's two scriptures,
and we're going to look at them from a different perspective, I think. And so
one of the things as we open the word is to have a beginner's mind, right? I think the Asian
philosophy is an empty rice bowl, right? Have come empty to receive, right? Because the brain's
natural bent, the brain studies for patterns, and the brain goes, attaches it to something else,
and says, oh, I know that. And so we often shut down, the brain just goes, oh, I already know that,
and we miss it. And so the beauty of where revelation can come is if we come each time
to the word fresh, and just go open, open, like you said, Elen, open my
spiritual senses, open my spiritual eyes, my spiritual ears, my heart that I can perceive.
Help me see the depth and and the truth in that and that's also a reason why I personally
will read verses in a lot of different translations. There's a couple things I do.
I read in different translations and you know you can go to online to something like biblegateway.com
if you're not used to doing this biblegateway.com and that way you can read a scripture and then
you can click on the little button on the side and it'll open up another. You can pick a different
translation and then you can pick another and so you can have three or four translations open
and looking at the same verse or just have a stack of bibles like I have right here and do it that
but read from different translations and then also read the context. Read what's before and
what's after and that's what we're going to do today. I want you to see this model of how the
depth comes in when we do that and so the two scriptures that we're focusing on this week for
our promise one is very familiar probably Matthew 6 33 Matthew 6 33 and the other is going to be
Matthew 22 verses 37 and 38. We're going to pair those two so Matthew 6 33 and Matthew 22 37 and
38. Does anybody have it handy that they want to read Matthew 6 33 and tell us what translation
you're reading in Matthew 6 33? Anybody? If not I'll go ahead and read it.
I've got it. Okay and what translation are you reading from? This is the amplified version. Okay
good. But first and most importantly seek, aim at, strive after his kingdom and his righteousness,
his way of doing and being right, the attitude and character of God and all these things will
be given to you also. Okay beautiful beautiful. So the concept of the amplified if those of you
not familiar with the amplified is it'll take a word and then it'll give you the actual
meanings of that right and so it kind of expounds upon it amplified. This is the New Living
Translation and I'm going to read it in here just to give a difference so we can look at it in a
couple versions 6 33. Oh here it is. Okay it goes like this seek I have mine so highlighted I had
to find the verse it's got so many colors in here. Okay so seek the kingdom of God above all
else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need. So seek the kingdom of God
above all above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need.
Here it is in the Passion Translation. Okay and this one
says so above all constantly seek God's kingdom and his righteousness
then all these other less important things will be given to you abundantly.
Abundantly okay so this idea is priority seeking first the kingdom of God and everything else
following. Now here's where I want you to have a fresh beginner's mind is that most people read
this and and they see it like a spiritual instruction but I want.
to see just a little interesting. I think it fits in with everything that we were talking about
in the conversation before we started. This is actually a solution. He's giving a solution
to worry. Did you know that this verse is actually Jesus giving a solution to worry?
Okay, and so what do I mean? Read the verses. This is why I say the context
will always tell you about something. So the truth is like the whole chapter is about worrying,
right? And so it starts all the way back in like verse 25 where it says, this is why I tell you
not to worry about everyday life, whether you have enough food or think you have enough clothes
to wear. And then he goes on and he talks about the birds and he talks about the flowers and
then he goes on to say, can any of your worries add a single moment to your life? In other words,
does your worry accomplish anything? Can you worry at a single change in your life, right?
And it goes on talking more about worry. And then just a couple verses before we read, he concludes
and he says, so don't worry about these things saying, what will we eat? What will we drink?
What will we wear? And then listen, it says these things dominate. Listen to this. This is the
New Living Translation. These worry, how am I going to pay my bills? How am I going to pay
my mortgage? How am I going to get groceries? How am I going to get? These things dominate
the thoughts of unbelievers. If we're thinking about those things, we're living like unbelievers.
That's what dominates the thought of an unbeliever.
We're not called to that, right? So it says these things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers,
but your heavenly father already knows all your needs.
He already knows all your needs. Then it goes into our verse. So, so seek the kingdom of God
above all else. He will give you everything you need. So, so this is actually that verse
that we know so well. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things will be
added. That was Jesus actually giving a solution to worry. He does this long dissertation on
don't worry. It's not going to accomplish a single thing. Instead, instead, seek. In other words,
put in modern language, stop striving, right? Stop striving. The answer is,
the answer is seek first. Everything else will follow. So what's the core promise right here?
When you connect first with God, when you get in the habit that, Lord, my priority
above all this noise, above everything else that I desire, everything that wants to dominate,
my priority is you. So you connect first with God, then everything else, the clarity you're
looking for, the provision you're looking for, the relationships you're looking for,
the clients you're looking, they flow instead of forcing. Does that make sense? So it's really,
it's really cool to think about that verse. The next time you see, you seek first the kingdom of
God. Oh yeah, that's right. That's the biblical solution for striving. That's the biblical
solution for worry. If I'm worrying, I'm acting like the unbelievers, the pagans, right? And so
when you look at the principle behind all of this, because we always do scripture and science
and strategy, when we look at the real problem, striving, worry, or striving is actually a symptom.
It's not the problem. Striving is not the problem. Worrying is not the problem.
It's the symptom, and it's the symptom of overthinking.
It's the symptom of of pressure and trying to make things happen.
It's the symptom of believing the story that I'm behind, that I'm lacking, I'm buying into
the lie and the illusion of lack.
And so the real problem, the real issue is disconnection and priority.
That's why I said, you know, in the build like Jesus, most people don't lack strategy.
They're building out of order, right?
They're building out of order.
And so when we look at the kingdom of order, this is given you.
So seek first, seek first the kingdom.
That doesn't mean check a box.
It doesn't mean like a quick prayer.
It doesn't mean like a rushed emotional.
Those things are great.
You know, those things are nice.
But what it really, really means is that it's our priority to be connected.
It's our priority to first establish that connection.
And that's why when I taught build like Jesus or multiply without striving, I gave you an
order.
I gave you a flow.
And that's why we're doing this on Wednesdays to begin to model.
And that's built into your prosper daily planner.
So the whole top part of that for the prosper daily planner is what we call the golden hour,
the golden hour.
And this is your God first time.
This is your God first time.
And then the order that I gave you is we go from the golden hour.
So we've had time to pray, to meditate, to journal, to hear from God.
We've had our gratitude.
We've made our declarate like we're full.
We're coming into our day, not empty, not lacking, not striving.
We're coming in full and out of that fullness, scripture says out of the heart flows the
issues of life or scripture say rivers of living water flow out of your belly.
Right.
So now we can go from the golden hour where we're full.
We can overflow and spill out on everyone around you.
And I call that the overflow hour.
And that overflow hour for me includes getting on social media and building relationships
with new people.
I'm full and I'm spilling out as I build relationships, which turns to clients.
Many of you are sitting here from that overflow, Jackie, Amanda, it all started with DM conversations,
if you remember.
And I was coming from a full place and asking questions and talking and going back and forth,
inviting you then, you know, either to a call or inviting you to the masterclass, the micro
event.
Right.
This is how this is.
You guys are here modeling and knowing exactly how it works.
And the whole thing is coming from a place of love.
Right.
And that's why I paired it with Matthew 22, which says, love the Lord, your God, with
all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.
Right.
And so scientifically, we look at scripture, we look at science when you are in worry.
The first part of Matthew six, when he says, who of you by worrying can do anything?
The truth is, when you're in worry, then you're in the sympathetic nervous system.
You're in the survival mode, the fight, the flight.
Right.
And so you're in reactive, reactionary thinking.
This is not clear thinking.
This is reactionary thinking.
I've got to fix it.
I've got to get, I've got to do.
You're in a reactionary.
Your clarity is very limited.
Of course, your piece is out the window when you're in connection and you're starting the
way that we're talking about.
Your nervous system regulates, right?
You go into the parasympathetic, your clarity increases, your, your creativity opens.
Right.
So, so the fact is that this is not just a spiritual practice, it is, but this is actually
affecting you spiritually, physically, financially, relationally.
Like that's why I, that's why I teach total soul prosperity because it's affecting every
area of your life.
And so when you're coming from this place of connection, you think.
and you decide and you show up differently.
It's from a different place.
It's from a place of certainty, place of faith,
a place of confidence that you can,
like we open this conversation,
you can hear a doctor's report and go,
oh no, that's not my reality.
No, cancel, cancel, right?
No, that's not how I see it.
My God says, and the truth sets us free.
And so we've got this golden hour
where we're connecting first.
And that's about presence.
It's not about performance.
It's not more to-do lists.
We don't go after the golden hour as like a checklist
that's just more striving.
Okay, did it.
I opened the Prosper Daily Flyer.
Yes, there's a checklist for you there,
but the attitude is, even if I only do one of these things,
only journal or only pray,
it's not, it doesn't matter how much time,
little or more, the Holy Spirit will guide you.
But it's that idea.
I desire you above all else.
I seek you first.
You're the highest priority.
Today, Lord, live in me.
Lord, today, let me be hidden in you.
Today, Lord, let me overflow.
Live through me today, Lord.
Speak through me.
Like Len was saying, the Holy Spirit will just take over.
Speak through me.
Love through me.
Coach through me.
Teach through me.
Write through me.
Serve through me.
It's the Lord living through us.
This is the true scripture.
It's Christ in me, the hope of glory.
This is what breaks the chains of religion
that's so performance-based, right?
And so the golden hour is this connection first,
this presence, and then the overflow hour
leads to genuine, real conversations,
truly listening, truly serving.
And then things begin to flow.
The ideas flow, the content flows, the clients flows.
You activate the flow with that giving.
So the key line, if you were gonna summarize all this,
is you don't need to push harder, right?
It's about reconnecting.
It's about living from the presence,
from the place of presence, from that fullness.
Does that make sense?
So any, before we go into prayer together,
anything that comes up for you as you hear this,
what's anything God's showing you?
Because your revelation's important.
It'll make it deeper for you
and it'll make it deeper for others.
Any ahas?
Yeah, Amanda says, yes, so good.
What comes up for you?
For me, I like how you're going a deeper dive
with Matthew 6.33,
because that's been through my other coach
when the Lord said, it's time for you to go on
and now you're here.
And so it's like a deeper dive with that.
And I like how you went into the different translations.
And so that's been my, even like in the morning,
but even throughout the day, if I'm doing the dishes,
like seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
all these things shall be added onto you.
Okay, so what does that look like?
I'm taking care of your sister today.
Yes.
You know, those are the things.
So it's really speaking to me in that way.
And, you know, we're going through a little bit
of a rumble right now at the Walton household here.
So, yeah, been a bit of a stretching for us.
And so, but that's what I go through.
Without worry in this way.
Yeah, I'm feeling that, I'm feeling more lighter.
I'm like, no, not today.
That's not gonna happen.
You've got this today, Lord.
So yeah, I really feel that in my spirit.
So I just love the different translations.
Yeah, it lets us go deep.
And this is another way of kind of putting freshness in it
that the brain doesn't go, oh, I know this.
Cause you hear it in a different translation.
It's like, they say for brain health,
like when you're driving to work or somewhere,
take a different route,
like practice, like going a totally different road
because it does that for the brain, right?
And so this is like taking a different road.
So you get to hear it in such a fresh way.
In fact, you know, when you're talking
about a fresh in the passion translation,
something jumped out at me.
me today, the way it says it here says, so then forsake your worries. Wow. Not just you
always hear, don't worry, don't worry, but this is more active. Like not only don't worry,
like forsake your worries, right? Yeah. Like I'm choosing to completely forsake that. I'm
choosing not worry will not be a part of my life. And so, um, and there's another thing that I want
to share, but I won't mention names in my family, but for me, it's been a powerful prayer to, and
we know that it's biblical because you spoke of it and there's others that spoke of it. Like I'm
praying for a certain member, member, family member, like, um, create those new pathways
for them in their mind. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's not anything new agey. It's just like
basically in the old and fill it with the new, what you have for them from those thoughts.
Yeah. So, and maybe identity issues or whatever. So yeah, I love that. And the beautiful thing,
and this is why when I teach the Lord has led me, of course, I was blessed to spend decades with one
of the top brain function specialists in the world. And so I have an understanding of the
brain and my background, my undergraduate degree, I did all the coursework to go to medical school.
So I've done a lot of anatomy and physiology and biochemistry and all that stuff, you know,
in addition to business. And so God has always directed me, the scripture and the science
and the strategy. And that's why I always bring those three things together.
So we ground it in the word. Okay. And, but the interesting thing is all of this is taught
in the word and science is confirming that. So when you have scriptures, um, like be transformed
by the re renewing of your mind, we now know with the science that yes, like the things that we
focus on, you're getting all these, you know, neuro connections, you know, the, the neurons that,
that, that fire together, wire together. And when we stop that pattern, it's like a tree and we're
not giving it life and energy and those dendrites and those neurons and all that, they just kind of
start to disappear. And so it literally, there are new connections made in the brain. And then
there's all the studies about people that meditate. They actually have like thicker,
um, and, and more folding in the brain for like memory. Like it's, it, we could really get into
the science that it literally changes the physical structure of your brain. So when it says be
transformed by the renewing of your mind and take every thought captive, all of the scripture is
backed by science. And then I always add the strategy because we don't want to just be
talkers. We want to be doers of the word. And so how do we apply this? How do we live it? So we've
got, um, really a short time to pray. We, we, we spent a lot more time sharing and talking. Normally
we spend much more time in, in prayer, but, um, let's just do some, some quick, maybe one sentence
power. Maybe everybody do like a one sentence, just powerful prayer. It can be Thanksgiving.
It can be the things that we wrote down. I'll also send you in your notes that we're praying,
you know, for a lens surgery and for Amanda's, um, you know, house and for the healing for, um,
Kim's relatives and for the home, you know, for Jackie's sister, um, Natalie's boys continue to
pray for Christie. We continue to pray for Michelle. She's not here. She has another surgery on
Friday. So we lift up our sisters in prayer. Um, but let's just, I do have to finish straight up
at nine. So let's, um, let's just do some quick popcorn prayers today. God knows our heart. So
anybody go first and then I'll, I'll close this out.
I'll just say a quick pair for my sister, Sunny Lord. I thank you for what you're doing already,
even though it's a shock. Um, I pray that it's still your will to be done because
we don't know how you work and then we're going to trust you with it all. Lord, I thank you for
the, uh, apartments that are coming up for the showings. Lord, I pray that you would have mercy
and much, much favor upon the landlord. Um, I pray that you would just give her discernment,
Lord, of what to do and what not to do at this time. And I just give you the praise,
the honor, and the glory in Jesus name. Yes. Thank you, Lord.
I just thank you for the revelation that you placed upon us this morning,
that it carries us not only through the time together,
but through the week and just praise you, Father God,
for every amazing miracle and great,
great commission that you give each and every one of us, Lord,
and just praising you for the blessings to come in
each and every one of our families, our lives and over Brenda,
Lord for bringing this, um, this amazing, uh, community together.
So we thank you, Lord. Thank you.
Dear heavenly father. We just thank you for this gathering, um,
that we have for this time and to learn more about you, God,
we thank you Lord for refreshing our minds, Lord,
and letting us know Lord, um, not to worry that, um,
worry and doubt is not from you Lord. And, um,
we just know Lord that, um, you are a provider,
you are a helper and we just know God that you always make a way,
even when we can't see it.
And we just thank you God in advance for everything that you are doing.
And we just ask you Lord to bless every one of these women, Lord.
And we just ask you Lord, um,
to be with, um,
Jackie's sister as she is going through this transition of,
um, trying to find an apartment God.
And we just know God that this is your way of getting her out of
this, um,
place where she's at now and a place her where she is supposed to be God and
let everything align with your purpose.
We just ask you Lord, um, to be with Kim and, um,
her daughter and her sister and, um, for their healing,
Lord, and, um, just continue to let them have good,
um, doctor, um, praises and just be with them and take away
their pain right now, Lord.
And we just ask you God to be with Helen as her surgery is coming up and
just, um, give her the, um,
the good doctors around her to operate on her God, um, for her wrist.
Um,
so she can have the mobility back in her risk God and get back to her
regular activities. And we just ask you Lord for the healing afterwards.
And we just ask you Lord to uplift the rest of this day and the rest of this
week and be focused on you in Jesus name. Amen.
Lord, Lord, we just give thanks.
We give thanks for your word and we stand on your promises.
So I thank you, Lord. You said we're two or more gathered. There you are.
So thank you Lord. You've heard our spoken and our unspoken prayers.
And thank you, Lord. You are faithful.
You are a covenant promise keeping God.
And so we put you first. We honor you.
We lift you up. We lift your name.
And I thank you for these sisters, Lord. I pray you prosper them physically,
financially, relationally, spiritually in all their relationships.
Lord, I pray complete and total, not just healing,
but restoration into the Zoe life,
the Zoe that you promise of health and prosperity
and joy and that the fruits of the spirit will just flow through them in a
mighty, mighty way.
Continue to use them to bless them, to prosper them in Jesus
name. Amen. And amen.
Sisters, I've got to run. I love you all.
