All right, I almost forgot to push the record button.
Welcome, welcome to the Prosper Power Hour.
This is where we gather and we stand on a promise, a new promise each week so that we're
just storing up God's word in our heart and we're walking by faith and not by sight.
And it's a place where we are gathering and just upholding each other, celebrating each
other and praying for each other.
And so we do a promise, we do a principle, we pray, and then we leave you a practice.
And so always like before I start the recording, we, let me let Kim back in here.
We often just have time to share our praise reports and share our prayer requests before
we get started.
And so we were celebrating here in California, Linda Brown and I did a one day retreat.
Linda was there, Kim was there, God just moved so beautifully.
So praise report there, and we had people, physical healing, we've got putting together
the newsletter for that right now.
Just powerful breakthrough, answer to prayer.
God is moving when two or three are gathered in his name, he is there, there's so much
power in prayer.
And so when there's so much going on in the world and media is feeding us so much, when
we can gather here and hold each other and cover each other and love on each other, and
your prayers matter and your wins and celebrating your wins matter.
And so Colette was sharing before I started the recording, just how God is opening her
up, you know, Catholic school and experiences, and she just wasn't expressing herself and,
and there's just so much goodness starting to come out and I'm declaring, decreeing,
it's just the beginning of it, that all the richness that has been stored up on you is
going to begin to freely circulate and be a blessing to you and to others.
And the way that you've prayed for each other, Colette was sharing how, you know, not knowing
Amanda and how Amanda praying for her strengthened her, and so your prayers, you know, really
matter and just the love you have for each other.
Good to see you Beth, nice to have your camera on, welcome.
And so we're just, we're just celebrating, we're celebrating a lens wrist continuing
to improve.
We're celebrating Amanda being in her new home, we're excited that she's back.
So just great together, together here ladies, such a blessing.
So let's, let's just, is there any other prayer requests or praise reports that we
want to remember before we go into prayer?
And then I'm going to start with today's subject.
Yeah, I can, a prayer request.
Yesterday, my sister and Brenda and Linda, Melka, they both know I've been, how long
I've been taking care of my mom solely and had a conversation with my sister that went
totally sideways.
And she's the spoiled, enabled child, just to brief.
And it went ugly, really ugly.
And she's done this before.
And it's, it's in the sense, you know, I just handed that right over and just said, Lord,
none of what she said is true.
It was really ugly ladies.
And so there's a part of me, my heart hurts though, because it should never have went
that way to begin with.
And, and she's a person that you can say this much.
And if it's not the way she hears it, then she takes it out of context and just full
on rage.
And so anyway, you know, I feel good that I slept well.
And I just have to let that go.
And it's not mine to carry.
And I, and I realized, I didn't get to hear all of Colette's, but I know that I realized
in this, that I have carried.
a lot to try to keep things in balance for so many years, decades, and you just can't
do that.
It's not mine to carry.
So it's kind of a prairie crest in that sense, but also kind of a praise because he's showing
me a different side for the first time, in a sense.
So and her name is Cheyenne.
Okay.
All right.
And we will be praying for Cheyenne and we'll be praying for the healing of your heart and
that God works us together for good and brings reconciliation and continuing to pray for
your mama, but continuing to pray for all the goodness in you, Kim, to come forth.
You have, you've been through so much and you've stored up so much wisdom and you have
so much of God's love and beauty and grace and wisdom in you.
And so, yeah, it seems to be a common theme, showing up, letting God show out, showing
up and letting God show up.
And I think that's going to tie in with what today's promise is too.
So love you, Kim, so glad that you're here and you're such a blessing to so many.
Anybody else?
Praise, reports, prayer requests?
Yes, Linda.
Yeah.
I wanted to let you guys know that my mom has improved to the point that the hospice
nurse put her on a once a week visit, which is, you know, really good.
That's great.
Oh, I bet.
She wants something there.
I don't know.
That's a blessing.
Thank you.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
And then feels lighter on you.
Yes.
And no.
Yeah.
I mean, some days I'm like, Lord, I will be done because there's no quality of life there.
Sure.
Okay.
Maybe somebody is not ready.
Somebody's already, you know, and then a prayer request.
Not dissimilar to what Kim said.
I have my oldest daughter living with me, and it's become very clear that the way that
she sees me is not complimentary.
We've had our struggles, but it's not complimentary, and there's what feels like a total rejection
of me, me, my family, my anything I stand for.
And at the retreat Saturday, I feel like God was just saying, love her anyway.
Just love her through it.
Love her anyway.
Love her through it.
You know, because they live in our house right now until their house is ready.
And even like last night, they just all got ready and left.
And I had asked my son-in-law, are you guys eating dinner here?
And he's like, no, we're going to go to the thing downtown Tuesday night thing downtown.
And I'm like, okay.
And then my grandson let it slip that her dad was there.
And we're like, we don't get invited to any of these things.
And it's hard to not take that personally.
You know, it's hard to go, we're opening up a whole home for you.
We're doing, we're helping in any way we can, and we don't get any of you, you know.
But again, it's kind of like Kim, this is not my growth.
You know, I'm growing as much as I can.
I'm owning what went south with our relationship.
The rest of the growth isn't mine to do.
And still it hurts my heart.
It's like Kim, it hurts my heart.
Sure.
You know?
It does.
It's so, it's so hard.
So we're going to pray for similar healing, reconciliation, healing of your heart.
And knowing that each person has an opinion and they're entitled to their opinion.
But the one that matters is God's opinion.
And you're his beloved.
You're so precious.
And we all adore you.
So you know, you know that, you know how much I love you.
So we will, we will continue to pray for your daughter and Brie, right?
Brie is her name.
Yeah.
Just so everybody knows her name is Brie.
Okay, good.
Anyone else?
Okay.
So we will bring all of that to prayer.
We will continue to celebrate.
I know for some of you that don't have your cameras on,
I just want to acknowledge you.
Welcome, Bev.
So glad that you're here.
So you guys know that you can't see Collette
and you can't see Bev, but they're here.
They're here too.
And, okay, in the chat,
Collette has a similar situation with her daughter.
So it sounds like our prayer theme needs to be
healing between relationships.
Yeah?
Relational healing.
Let's stand on that.
I think that is a common theme.
You know, I want to add that I think it's wounds.
I think it's healing of wounds
because those wounds stand in the way
of the relationship healing.
Yeah.
Good.
Let's pray.
God is the healer of broken hearts.
I think about scripturally, it just hit me
that even Jesus' brothers rejected him at first.
They later ended up being disciples.
But, you know, it's the people closest to us
can really set us off, right?
But we stand.
And we stand in him till the end,
they will see, and God will be glorified.
So, love you all.
Can I add something?
Now, can you hear me?
Yes, please.
Sorry.
You guys are like bringing it.
This must be the topic today
because I'm kind of going through a similar situation
with my sister, and she's my only sibling,
and she always looks at me that I'm the favorite one,
that, you know, my parents love me more.
It's jealousy.
It goes back to our childhood.
And I've always been a person
that I never put myself out like that.
And I've always wanted a real relationship with her.
We've just never had one.
Yeah.
Thank you for sharing that, sister.
Can I encourage you, Amanda?
Because I had a similar relationship with my older sister.
Like, we were always like this.
Anytime we got together, it was like snakes circling,
waiting for the first one to bite,
and then it was on, right?
And when I went through mindset coaching,
I told my coach that I believed
that she lived to make me miserable.
And my coach says, well, how do you know?
And I said, well, she does this,
and she does this, and she says this,
and she does that.
And my coach said, no, no, no, no, no.
You're just quoting the evidence
that you have actually collected to prove your point.
Did she tell you?
And I go, what, tell me what?
And she goes, did she actually tell you
I lived to make her miserable?
And I said, no.
And she goes, then you made it up.
And I'm like, what?
She goes, it's a story in your head,
and you're just collecting evidence to support it.
So what if you shifted your perspective
to one of she does everything
that she does out of love for you?
Granted, it's like love that you'd rather pass on
because it doesn't feel like love to you a lot of times,
but for her, it's the most loving things to say or do.
And at that moment, God brought back to me visions.
My sisters and I are three years apart,
all born in June, one year apart.
Sorry, one year apart.
So we're like boom, boom, boom.
And my mother used to put my older sister
in charge of all three of us.
Three, two, one, watch your sisters.
Make sure that they don't get into any trouble
and take care of them.
A three-year-old.
So from an early age, my older sister
felt a responsibility for us that was not appropriate,
and she's carried it throughout her life.
And so once I got that perspective,
man, the whole grace part of me shifted for her.
And I even told her that that vision
and our relationship turned on a dime
to where we're not antagonistic toward each other.
Now, we're not super close, but we are close.
We do talk.
We do support each other a lot more than we ever used to.
and change.
Yeah, we've been through our ups and downs.
We go through phases,
but what really brings us together is more like family,
you know, and I've come to the conclusion that that's okay.
You know, that that's kind of our relationship
and, you know, I'm okay with it.
But I feel like I've healed to a point,
but I feel like she still has resentment
or she's holding stuff
because these topics keep on coming up.
And when I invited her to like my new house,
it was like, she didn't want to come, you know,
and it's just, you know, just a lot of buildup.
Yeah, it's what I call an issue to them, not an issue.
It is.
My sister's the same way, Amanda.
She told me yesterday,
she said the reason why she's always late,
which she's always late to everything forever.
The reason why, like she's two hours, three hours late,
like very irresponsible with her time.
And she told me yesterday,
the reason why she's always late,
she's not late to anything else, which is a false lie.
That's a lie, but that's a total untruth.
But she told me yesterday the same thing.
She told me that she just doesn't want to be at my home
because I control everything
and it has nothing to do with control.
It's because I'm organized.
It's complete opposite.
So everything she was dialecting me yesterday to
in a raging voice, on it raging,
was her own untruths, if that makes sense.
And I knew that.
So the Lord directed me to that
because he knows my heart.
Like Brenda said, I have a tender heart.
And so I have put up and put up and put up with it
for years and years and years, decades, decades.
So I get you, I'm the big sister
and she's been very much enabled by my mom too
at being the little sister.
And that may not be your case,
but for my sister, it has been.
And my mom, I feel I love my mother dearly,
but she really, really ruined her in many ways
as far as being responsible.
So.
Sounds awesome.
It sounds like God is moving this conversation
in this direction.
Colette just wrote in the chat
that she's one of five children
and has a sister that will tell you that she hates her.
And this also started in childhood.
So you have to remember that these siblings are not saved.
I will be praying with you.
Colette just wrote in the text.
So I think today we need to spend extra time in prayer
because it's no coincidence that this is happening
to what, one, two, three, four,
at least four of you, maybe more.
So.
Brenda, do you have a moment for me to share real quick?
I'm a twin and my sister was always jealous of me.
And ever since childhood, I've always loved God.
I know that there's a certain light that I carry
and I led my life very different from my sister.
She was an alcoholic, owned a bar,
could cuss better than a sailor, just amazing.
And she passed away at the age of 57 with cancer.
But before she did, we had this struggle.
I mean, she was jealous of my husband,
of my life, my success, everything about me, very jealous.
But when she got cancer,
you know who was the first person she called
besides letting my mother know?
It was me.
It was out of the blue after 10, 20 years,
she called me and she said she wanted me
to talk to my God about her
because she was afraid of dying.
And you know what?
That incident brought her about of getting saved,
going to, what do you call it?
A motorcycle church group or whatever.
whatever, you know, more her style.
But by the time she, I went back there
when she first got the cancer.
And then I went back to North Carolina.
I went back to help with the hospice
and was with her when she passed away.
But she knew who her God was.
She wasn't afraid of dying anymore.
And the thing is, is that we all may have difficult
relationships with family members.
And I have to be honest, you know,
do I sometimes envy people who have perfect families
and they all get along?
Sure, but also I would rather God present to me
friends, family members, and so forth
that I need to pray for.
And that's the thing is for my entire family,
all these years, ever since childhood,
I prayed for them, even though I'm in California
and God answered my prayers.
And so sometimes we have to realize
that it's the light that we carry,
that our siblings are jealous of,
but yet we can't forget our calling
that God made us family for a reason.
And it's not always that we have to be super close,
but we do have to be prayer warriors for them.
And my sister is a testimony
that by the time it was her calling,
she was truly saved and knew where she was going.
So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing that, Ellen.
That means a lot.
Thank you.
You know, what was hitting me is the prayer.
God teach me to love them with your love.
And it's a matter of rising above
the things that are said and done,
knowing that those come from a place of their pain,
their wounding.
And we take it personal
because it's pointed in our direction,
but it's not actually most likely about us.
And I think when Jesus on the cross could say,
forgive them, they know not what they do.
I think so much of what is said and done is unconscious.
It's not like I want to hurt you.
It's I'm hurt and I'm lashing out.
This is my cry.
This is my way to see.
If you'll love me,
this is my way of needing prayer, whatever it is.
And so I believe that
the thing that God's been speaking to me about,
it's the idea of walk by faith and not by sight.
It's the idea of judge not appearances.
Can I look at the face of whatever difficulty,
whatever painful experience,
and can I say, Lord, what do you say about this?
Can I find Jesus in this?
Can I see the Lord in this?
I'll never forget a very precious sister, Rhonda.
She has a farm for abused children.
She was one of the most abused children
in the history of her state.
She was one of the first women to heal these trafficked girls
and I've had the opportunity to be there many times
and see the transformation.
And many times she does inner healing with them
And she'll have them go back and see the painful scene.
Often, like, let's say, one that's coming to mind
was the father abusing his daughter,
and say, ask Jesus to show where was Jesus in the room.
Find Jesus in the room.
And I'll never forget the shock and the way
one of these girls got healed.
She saw the dad, the perpetrator.
And she saw Jesus behind him, kneeling with his hands,
praying for him.
She saw her father, totally different, was able to forgive.
So often, the ugliness that we see
is their own trauma, their own wound, their own pain,
lashing out, repeating.
And so if we could say, Lord, show me
where you are in this room right now, instead of, like,
even though it hurts us so much, and I pray
for the healing of your heart, can we
see the Lord in that room, in that moment?
Can we see the Lord in that person?
Can we call out the Lord in that person?
Can we call out the spark in that person
when what we want to do is say something back even stronger?
What we want to do is hurt them.
What we want to do is shut down.
What we want to do is have them realize,
have them say they're sorry, have them repent.
Can we hold the presence of God in the middle
of difficult conversations?
Can we hold?
I feel this so strong right now.
Can we hold the love of God in the middle
of difficult conversations?
I remember I have a daughter that
is very difficult and hurtful, and their story in their mind
gets so twisted.
And I remember being in her apartment, cleaning her kitchen,
and I don't know a better way to put it,
and I remember being in her kitchen,
and I don't know a better word to say, it was a shithole.
There was just piles of trash and weeks worth of dishes,
and I was sitting there cleaning that,
and she was in the bedroom, and she was
yelling at the top of her lungs, you never loved me.
You never wanted me.
You don't love me, and I'm looking
at the setting of what I'm doing right there
and hearing those words, and I didn't respond.
And she's like, are you not going to respond?
And all I could say, because you protect your heart,
but you still love.
So Jesus could rely on the Lord to hold him and still say,
Father, forgive them.
They don't know what they do, to rise above it.
And I could say, that's not my reality.
It's not how I see things.
I understand that it's very real for you,
and it hurts you to believe that.
So can we rise above hurtful words, hurtful gestures,
and can we say, Lord, show me the truth in this situation?
Can I hold the space of love?
Can I respond and not react?
And it doesn't mean stuff it, or it doesn't mean take abuse.
But can I be light?
Can I be light?
So I think God's doing a new thing here. I'm going to save our lesson. I'm not going to teach our lesson and I think we should just pray. Are you all in agreement with that? I think we should just pray and we'll do this another time.
Are you okay with that?
I haven't heard from a couple of you.
Bev, if there's anything you want to share, you want us to be praying.
Beth, Bev and Beth, see if I can pronounce that.
Anything you want to share, anything I can be praying, I want to acknowledge you in the room and honor that you're in the room and I'm glad you're in the room.
Anybody want to add?
When I think we're on it, when we're on this topic, I just think of several of my friends that have very torn relationships with their daughters.
Very same similar situations.
And so we know that it's a really, I mean, a subject that covers probably for the most part, all of us at one point in our lives.
But to have that, to hear the jealousy and that's the stuff you kind of hit, you keep hidden.
Right. And I'm kind of the light also, Elan.
Right. I'm kind of the light too with my, you know, I'm the people person.
I'm, you know, I get it.
And my sister is very jealous of that.
Jealous of me being married.
Everything.
And she always has been.
And it just gets seems and I feel bad for her.
I can see her pain, but it's not okay to take it to a level of abuse.
And that's the stuff I have to get rid of.
That's the stuff I lay on the father and just say, I feel like a shift.
And so I think even, I think the relationship, praying for relationships, but also for us to remove those, those unturned stones, things that keep us, because it does keep us playing small.
Because it affects our ability to really see ourselves and show up to, I believe, or at least for me, it does.
Yeah.
Holding on to that.
Yeah.
So you, you love, but you set healthy boundaries.
Yes.
As Amanda has said, and that is the loving thing.
We're not validating that disrespect or abuse is okay.
And.
Let's, let's just go to prayer. I could, there's a lot I could share, but let's, I think, I think God, I think God wants to download some things today.
I think he called us all by divine design.
And so let's take some time just to pray. Now, let's just pray this out.
Okay. And I will jump in at the end. So whoever feels like praying just go, let the Lord just.
Holy Spirit, we just, we just ask that you open our spiritual senses at this moment.
That you shift our perspective to align with your divine perspective, that we'll see with your eyes, that we'll see through the eyes of love, that we'll hear your word, we'll hear your truth.
Open our spiritual senses right now, Lord God.
Come Holy Spirit flood.
This atmosphere.
Flood our minds and our hearts like your perfect piece that passes all understanding guard our minds and our hearts in Christ Jesus.
To know how to be salt, how to be light, how to love when to speak and when to remain silent.
So we just invite you here, Holy Spirit, in this special, sacred time of gathering in
your name, thank you for these sisters with so much love that you've called us together
for such a time like this, representing not just our relationship and the collective relationships
of each daughter, each sister in this room, but the collective relationships of women
facing right now as the enemy attempts to destroy legacy, to cut the tie of wisdom being
passed down to children and children's children.
You've called us to be restorers of the breach.
So we're asking, Holy Spirit, for you to speak clearly and move powerfully in us, a small
sampling of your daughters gathering together in faith, inviting you to powerfully heal,
powerfully speak, powerfully move.
You are welcome here, Holy Spirit.
We invite your angels to minister.
Lord, I'm praying for the healing of every woman's heart in this room.
You are the healer of the brokenhearted.
You've told us that when you were leaving to go back to the Father, you said, it's good
that I go away because if I go, I'll send one just like me, the paraclete, the comforter,
the counselor.
He will guide you into all truth.
He will show you things to come.
So Lord, we call on the comforter right now to comfort those who are really hurting.
We call on the counselor to give us wisdom to rebuild walls that are built up and need
to be torn down and built up to your glory.
Lord, we thank you.
Holy Spirit, we hear you like a blessing over the hurting, Lord, over those that see things
differently than us, Lord, and over opposing positions, Lord.
We pray that the demonic force over these relationships, Lord, be removed as far as
the East is from the West, Father.
We pray, Father, and thank you for your great or the great expectation, Lord, of knowing
that you are the redeemer of all relationships and that your love, your sacrifice to each
and every one of us goes above and beyond what we could ever imagine, Lord, what we
could ever, our expectations could ever even begin to be, Lord.
So we pray that these relationships, both near and far, Father, close to us, friendships,
with other homes, Lord, we're praying for a global, global relationship renewal, Lord,
that the hurts and the wounds of each and every one of us as we are all broken.
Father, but we know that we are the clay and you're the potter.
And on that Lord, you make the most magnificent masterpieces.
Even when we may not see it, Father, you do.
You do, Father.
We thank you for the blessing over this Lord, that it will go far.
Father, that apologies of love would resonate and it would cover our atmosphere, Lord.
The relationships in this room and beyond, Father.
That you would anoint us with the calling that you have given us and tell it
so that we will be forgiving, that we know our boundaries, Lord.
But even greater than all, that we cover them with love.
Even when they do not know.
Even when they do not deserve.
You called us because you forgave us.
So Lord, we just thank you.
Holy Spirit, we thank you for being in the room.
We thank you for the guidance.
We thank you for a new season, Lord, in which you enrich us with a new faith, a simple faith,
a new calling and great expectations for each and every one of our relationships, Lord.
Just thank you, Father.
Thank you.
I keep hearing the word, redeem.
God is wanting to redeem.
Redeem.
He's wanting to reclaim territory, to take back ground.
Take back ground in our hearts, in our minds, in our homes, in our relationships.
There's territory that needs to be given back to God and reclaimed and redeemed.
Physical, emotional, spiritual territory.
So Jesus, show us.
What is the territory?
How do you want us to pray?
How do you want us to act?
How do you want us to reclaim the territory that the enemy is taking?
Where have we given away territory to the enemy's camp?
Is there anyone else that feels led to pray?
Is God putting a word on your heart?
I just wanted to say that we've been talking about the last few weeks about
this being a pivot month, that not just in business, ministry, whatever,
but pivot in our relationships as well.
And to remind each person, this is pivot month.
Your relationships can pivot and to renew that expectation that they will pivot.
I love that word, expectation.
Love that.
We expect miracles.
Lord, you've said that signs and wonders follow those who believe.
They're right here with my sisters that I love.
We link arms.
We believe.
We stand united in faith that you are a God who does miracles.
If you can part the Red Sea and you can get water from a rock and you can turn Saul into
Paul, you can move the hearts of our loved ones and you can move our hearts.
So we offer ourselves as Romans 12 tells us as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable
to you, Lord, redeem our hearts, redeem our minds.
May we walk in love and holiness and purity.
And as we enter this pivot month, may our light shine even brighter.
May you be glorified in even bigger ways.
And may we have even more miracles to report as we invite you to rule and to reign in every
area of our life.
Lord, we give you these relationships.
We give you our hearts.
We give you our minds.
We give you our hands.
We give you our businesses.
And we say, have your way, Lord.
Have your way.
And so together we stand and we declare and we decree that signs and wonders will follow
us as we believe that there will be healing.
You are the God who heals.
You purchased our healing, emotional, physical, spiritual healing on the cross.
But there will be reconciliation, renewal, that there's no one too far gone or too hard
that you can't work and transform.
Give us a supernatural love, Father God, a supernatural love.
Give us a supernatural love.
Thank you for these beautiful sisters.
Bless them today.
Let this be the best month so far for each of them that they prosper physically, emotionally,
relationally, spiritually, Lord.
Raise them up as bright and beautiful lights in their homes, in their communities, in their
cities, in their state.
We want to declare your testimony of what can happen when a few women gather together
and pray in your name.
So we expect miracles.
We expect you to move, God, because you promised and you're faithful.
Your promises are yes and amen.
So we stand on your promises.
We stand on your word that whatever we ask, believing that we have received it, it will
come to pass.
We stand on your word.
We're asking, we're believing, and we're expecting.
Thank you, Lord.
We're celebrating turnaround, divine turnaround in our homes, in our relationships, in advance.
We thank you, Lord.
You're so good.
Your mercies are new.
Every single morning, we stand on your new mercies for this day, for this month.
we love you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.
Alright sisters, God's doing a new thing and this is what he wanted to do. Thank
you for choosing to share and to join together and to pray. We'll pick up
tomorrow morning in the From Pressure to Partnership. We'll pick up with what God
was going to share here. We'll pick up tomorrow morning and love you all so
much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for sharing everyone. Wow, how
powerful. He can change the room, right? I'm expecting some powerful testimonies
coming from here. Yeah, me too. I'm expecting some powerful testimonies. Yeah.
Yeah. In the retreat, the words that it was spoken to me was going back to
simple faith. Simple faith and great expectancy. That's what I've been hearing
every day and this morning he said my mercies are new every day. He knew that
even though I rested, I did not sleep, you know, I mean as well as I could or I
usually do because he knew. He knew I would wake up with, you know, the things
that we all have on our mind, right? Most days. It's hard being the salt of
the earth. I don't want to say that in a negative tone, but the reality is it is.
And I think that's, he gives us that that calling so that we become, that we
redeem ourselves all the time. He gives us the opportunity to redeem ourselves,
you know, in our brokenness. Beautiful. I will see you ladies tomorrow morning.
Lots of blessings. Thank you. Thank you.
