00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.880
All right. Good morning, ladies. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome to Power Hour this week.

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:18.600
I'm super excited. This is, we're going through the Prosper System in our praying over these

3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:27.880
weeks. And so we've done the P, partner with God, and we've done the R, renewing the mind.

4
00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:39.880
So today is about opening the flow. Super excited about this and so can't wait. As always,

5
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:48.820
Power Hour, we look at a promise, we look at the biblical principles, we pray, we praise,

6
00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:53.440
we hang out together. It's a beautiful thing. And I'm going to give you something to work

7
00:00:53.440 --> 00:01:04.260
on for the week. And then this thread continues. And tomorrow, in pressure to, from pressure

8
00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:11.420
to partnership, we go deeper with it. We do more immersive. So today's all about the prayer

9
00:01:11.420 --> 00:01:16.860
and getting the scriptural grounding. And then tomorrow, we do more exercises. And when

10
00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:22.320
it comes to opening the flow, this is an important one to do the exercises. There's a lot of

11
00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:27.560
renewing the mind around this. At least I find that. I don't know how many of you find

12
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:36.760
that. Lots of renewing the mind when it comes to opening the flow. So let me look at my

13
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:51.480
notes. Have you ever prayed for more, believed for more, but still just felt like somehow

14
00:01:51.640 --> 00:02:01.160
something is blocking the flow? Have any of you experienced that? Yes. Yeah. I know I have.

15
00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:11.640
I know I have. And it's not, it's not just money that we're talking about, right?

16
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:20.520
Talking about flow and clients, we're talking about flow and opportunities, flow and peace,

17
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:26.440
flow and energy. I mean, if you think about it in life, everything is about flow. We measure

18
00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:34.440
blood flow, oxygen flow, right? Even the word currency, when it's talking about money, means

19
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:46.520
flow, right? And so it's so important that we get to the root of this biblically and we understand

20
00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:57.480
what is opening the flow and what is it that constricts the flow. Like we do this in nature,

21
00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:05.480
right? I mean, if you go to a doctor and blood pressure is high, very often there's a reduction

22
00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:13.800
in flow in the arteries, right? There's a constriction that has happened. And when you

23
00:03:13.880 --> 00:03:24.360
really get this on the inside of you, it's just amazing actually how much influence we have on

24
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:29.560
this. Sometimes we feel so powerless and we're just like, I'm just waiting on you God to open

25
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:36.280
the flow. And we don't understand the role that our thoughts, right? Our feelings, our words

26
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:43.800
are playing on this. And when we get this, everything begins to change. So today,

27
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:51.160
we're going to get back to one foundational truth that I emphasize all the time.

28
00:03:52.520 --> 00:04:01.640
We're going to get back to one foundational truth, which is God is my source.

29
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:09.720
You know, it's so easy to say that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. God is my source. Yeah.

30
00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:19.160
But the truth is the way that we are patterned and the belief systems

31
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:28.600
I'll try to mess with income from a job or try to mess with your savings account or try to mess

32
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:37.880
with your retirement or your 401k or, or, you know, whatever it is that we're looking to,

33
00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:46.680
that actually in our mind is very often our source. We say God is our source.

34
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:58.440
This takes a hard, honest look at what truly do we see as our source.

35
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:11.600
So, it's not the economy, it's not our clients, it's not a paycheck, it's not a platform.

36
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.460
And believe me, I had to learn this so hard, you know, so many times.

37
00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:19.320
I would get things just rocking and rolling.

38
00:05:19.320 --> 00:05:26.560
I had a LinkedIn that was kicking butt with a VA, and I mean, I was bringing in leads

39
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:33.800
and my calendar was so full of new people coming in and relationships were being built

40
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.520
and my newsletter was growing and it was just exploding.

41
00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:45.400
And it turns out that using, you know, someone besides myself on LinkedIn to do that was

42
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:52.880
a violation of their rules and my LinkedIn got shut down.

43
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:57.240
And it's like the source dried up.

44
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.560
And you see this in scripture all the time.

45
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.800
Every time God wants to move you somewhere, often this would be the case.

46
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.480
You'll see with Elijah and the river dried up and he was forced to pick up and go to

47
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.240
a different place where he wanted to go, where God wanted him to go.

48
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:22.320
And so very often, whatever we're counting on, you can almost count on this.

49
00:06:22.320 --> 00:06:24.240
Is that a funny play on words?

50
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.640
Whatever we're counting on as our source, you can count on, there's a good chance that's

51
00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:36.360
going to get dried up because God will have no other, there should be no other God in

52
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.200
your mind.

53
00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:43.760
And so like always, like we talked about last week, awareness is always the first step to

54
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:50.360
transformation and you catch yourself and you renew your mind.

55
00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:57.200
Like we talked about last week, wait a minute, wait a minute, who or what is my source?

56
00:06:57.200 --> 00:07:04.460
And you get back in alignment and it's amazing the miracles that happen after that.

57
00:07:04.460 --> 00:07:13.480
So if we forget that God is our source and not the economy, not a client, not a paycheck,

58
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.240
not a platform, God.

59
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.560
Because if we forget this, you can tell when you've forgotten it.

60
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.240
You start to live tight.

61
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.720
You start to grip, start to strive.

62
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.600
You start to withhold.

63
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:37.440
You start to overthink, overgive, under charge, panic, compare, try to control in some way.

64
00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:40.680
That's your signal for your awareness to realize what's going on.

65
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.960
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

66
00:07:42.960 --> 00:07:49.080
I just put my trust, I can't help but think that they really understood that when they

67
00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:52.840
put on the dollar bill, in God we trust.

68
00:07:52.840 --> 00:08:00.360
So it would be so big and say, when the founding fathers don't trust in this, which right now

69
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.240
of course, it's not very trustworthy, our money supply right now anyway, right?

70
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.280
Very bad trust to put your trust in our dollar system right now, right?

71
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:22.080
It's that reminder, like in bold print, in God we trust because it's so easy to have

72
00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:24.480
your peace go.

73
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.680
And I think I'm most familiar with this.

74
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:33.120
I don't know if any of you have experienced this or if you grew up with this.

75
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:42.120
In my family, as a child, my dad's emotions went up and down with sales, with money coming

76
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.039
in.

77
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:48.280
And then I saw that pattern repeated again in my marriage.

78
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:51.840
And then I saw that I had absorbed that.

79
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:57.840
And so do you find, does your peace rely on your bank account balance?

80
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.080
This is a real truth teller.

81
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:10.920
This is like, and it will be tested, especially if you're making it your source.

82
00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:18.520
So today we're going to talk about how do you open the flow biblically?

83
00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:22.920
How do you get a handle on living this biblically?

84
00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:29.720
And we're going to talk about a principle of giving.

85
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.760
I want to give a caveat because this principle has been manipulated a lot.

86
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:41.680
So today I'm not talking religious, I'm not talking about tithing, although I believe

87
00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:49.800
in tithing and tithing was long before actually, not only the church or the Jewish, it precedes

88
00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:51.560
Abraham.

89
00:09:51.560 --> 00:09:57.480
Abraham was already giving tithe, if you see in scripture, before it ever became a Jewish

90
00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:58.760
custom.

91
00:09:58.760 --> 00:10:00.800
It was a Babylonian custom.

92
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000
And that was the draconian principle of success.

93
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.480
Giving 10% was known as a wealth key.

94
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.520
So people that try to go, oh, that's Old Testament,

95
00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:17.160
actually it far precedes the Old Testament.

96
00:10:18.040 --> 00:10:20.900
That's why you saw Abraham give to Melchizedek,

97
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.880
the King of Salem, which is the King of Peace, right?

98
00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:30.840
So if you do your homework, this went way before that,

99
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.240
but I'm not talking about that.

100
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.000
I want to get into the deeper, deeper principles.

101
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.560
So it's not about tithing.

102
00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:42.240
It's also not about giving to get, okay?

103
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.400
So when we get into understanding giving

104
00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:50.200
as a way of activating flow,

105
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.620
like everything, we've got to look at the heart.

106
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.260
We've got to look at the condition underlying

107
00:10:55.280 --> 00:11:00.160
because there's many over givers that are not in flow,

108
00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:04.640
but the motive of giving is actually to get.

109
00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:07.760
Giving, hoping that I'll be liked or accepted.

110
00:11:07.760 --> 00:11:09.720
Giving, hoping I'll be noticed.

111
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.420
Giving, hoping that they'll give to me.

112
00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:15.680
That's not what we're talking about either.

113
00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:18.680
It's another like extreme of the dysfunction.

114
00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:20.380
Y'all know what I'm talking about?

115
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.320
Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

116
00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.100
You guys are either busy taking notes or quiet

117
00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:28.860
or dozing off at your desks there.

118
00:11:31.660 --> 00:11:35.220
Okay, so let's start with some scriptures.

119
00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:38.320
Our scripture for today, there's going to be three,

120
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:43.320
but our main promise is going to come from Luke 6, 38.

121
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.420
Luke 6, 38.

122
00:11:48.420 --> 00:11:51.380
Who has Luke 6, 38?

123
00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:00.320
And tell us what translation when you read it.

124
00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:22.140
I have it in NIV.

125
00:12:22.140 --> 00:12:24.180
Okay, great, read it to us.

126
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.600
Give and it will be given to you a good measure,

127
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.200
pressed down, shaken together, running over,

128
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.880
will be poured into your lap.

129
00:12:31.880 --> 00:12:36.080
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

130
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.580
Okay, say it one more time, real slow.

131
00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:44.800
Give and it will be given to you a good measure,

132
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:48.400
pressed down, shaken together, running over,

133
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:51.240
will be poured into your lap.

134
00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:55.080
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

135
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.380
What do you get from that?

136
00:12:59.780 --> 00:13:04.780
I get that whatever I give out will come back to me,

137
00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:13.200
whatever that I need to trust

138
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.780
that it's going to keep pouring into my lap.

139
00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:20.020
And as I give it out, it's going to keep pouring down, right?

140
00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:25.020
And if I stop giving out, it will stop pouring down

141
00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:30.880
because it will run out of ability for me to hold it.

142
00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:31.960
Yeah, nice.

143
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.400
Who's got a different translation?

144
00:13:33.400 --> 00:13:34.240
Thank you, Linda.

145
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.680
Who's got?

146
00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:39.280
I have the passion translation, Linda.

147
00:13:39.280 --> 00:13:40.120
Yeah.

148
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.720
So it says, give generously and generous gifts

149
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.760
will be given back to you.

150
00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:53.380
Shaken down to make room for more.

151
00:13:53.380 --> 00:13:57.740
Abundant gifts will pour out upon you

152
00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:00.900
with such an overflowing measure

153
00:14:00.900 --> 00:14:03.900
that it will run over the top.

154
00:14:03.900 --> 00:14:06.900
The measurement of your generosity

155
00:14:06.900 --> 00:14:11.500
becomes the measurement of your return.

156
00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:12.340
Wow.

157
00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:15.220
And I love the term, you know, I love the statement,

158
00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:19.580
like, you know, it's a blessing to bless others.

159
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:21.800
Right, I think, I mean,

160
00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:26.000
when we're able to just genuinely authentically bless others

161
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.000
with no return, no expectation, no agenda, right?

162
00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:35.040
Then and only then are we really truly,

163
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:38.920
I think, being given the gift of the blessing back.

164
00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:41.440
And I think that's just priceless.

165
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.520
That's what God, you know, that's what Jesus did for us.

166
00:14:44.520 --> 00:14:45.720
So good.

167
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:46.600
Right?

168
00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:49.060
Tracy is putting in the comments,

169
00:14:49.060 --> 00:14:52.340
in the King James Version, it says,

170
00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:55.820
shall men give unto your bosom?

171
00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:58.460
And so this is so good.

172
00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:00.260
This is such a rich.

173
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:11.080
rich promise. And I really want to break it down. The first thing that hits me, I really

174
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:22.800
see in scripture, there's a boomerang principle in scripture. And this, what did we just read

175
00:15:22.800 --> 00:15:33.240
Matthew, Luke, Luke 638. There's this boomerang principle, and you see it all over scripture.

176
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:38.800
And it's because we're so interconnected, it'll say, give, and it'll be given unto you

177
00:15:38.800 --> 00:15:44.400
bless and you'll be blessed, forgive, and you'll be forgiven, right? Like everything

178
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:53.600
in the negative side too, right? And so when we just understand this circulation,

179
00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:03.520
it becomes an awareness of living differently. That where does all of this start? What's the

180
00:16:03.520 --> 00:16:17.600
first word in this verse? What's the first word? Give. And who is it talking about?

181
00:16:21.920 --> 00:16:29.120
Us. All of us. All of us. Right, me. So do you understand that this whole cycle,

182
00:16:29.760 --> 00:16:36.000
it doesn't say when the economy improves, give, when the president changes, give,

183
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:43.680
when your 401k gets to a certain level, give. When you feel, you understand that this whole

184
00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:52.000
principle, give, you are activated. This is why I like you to understand you are activating the

185
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.600
flow. It's just like plant a seed in your garden and it's going to multiply and you're going to

186
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:06.640
have, right? And so give, and it'll be given unto you. This is where you start to have power and

187
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:16.000
you go, well, I don't have enough to give. And very often in scripture, probably to break the

188
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:24.079
mindset of lack, it would be asked to give. Like I keep thinking of all the examples, the widow

189
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.920
that was baking her last two little cakes to like die. And Elijah says, great, make me breakfast,

190
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:36.560
feed me. Look, this is, this is all I have. Yes, I know. I got to break that mindset in your mind

191
00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:41.360
that this is all you have because in order to activate this flow, you got to give. Let's get

192
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:49.120
you given right here, right now. Right. And Jesus talked about the woman that just gave her two

193
00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:55.520
little mites, right? The widow. And he said, she's given more percentage wise than all of you.

194
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:04.640
So the tendency is to think I'll give when I make more money, I'll give when I finally get out of

195
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:12.480
debt, I'll give, but you have to understand this principle that this flow. And so now when you go

196
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:20.000
to pay your bills or you go to, you know, pay for groceries, I don't care anything. Now I've learned

197
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:26.080
to say, praise the Lord. I'm circulating. I'm blessing the economy. I'm blessing all the

198
00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:33.040
employees at Amazon or at the grocery store or at the whatever company I'm paying for, or whoever

199
00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:40.320
I'm paying that works for me or whatever. Right. And I, I no longer have that feeling. I used to

200
00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:47.280
have the feeling that whatever I pay is going out and it's not coming back. And I'm lacking. Do any

201
00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:51.360
of you ever feel that? Like you're so scared to pay things. What if I run out? What if the account

202
00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:58.640
goes empty? And this is a mindset thing. And I had to get where praise the Lord I'm circulating.

203
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:05.120
And I start thinking about even if you hand money in the grocery store and even if it's cash and you

204
00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:12.080
go, wow, I just blessed her working here because she's getting paid and all the cycles, she's going

205
00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:17.440
to go spend that money to buy groceries and shoes for her kids and books or whatever, which is

206
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:23.680
blessing them. And they're going to, and you start to understand, wow, I'm, I'm, I'm activating flow.

207
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:34.400
Does that make sense? And you start to, you start to think different. And, and so giving

208
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:45.040
is a decision and it's a declaration. It's a decision and it's a declaration.

209
00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:52.400
You could write this down. Lack is not my Lord.

210
00:19:55.120 --> 00:19:59.920
In other words, it doesn't Lord over me. No longer is lack.

211
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.120
It came from programming, lack is not natural in nature.

212
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:09.480
Lack is not my Lord, God is my source.

213
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:15.120
So what we're talking about is giving from a place of trust.

214
00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:20.320
And so every time I give, I just go, oh, wow, praise God, this is going to bless and it's

215
00:20:20.320 --> 00:20:23.680
going to come back multiplied.

216
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:27.840
Because we've got to first renew the mind.

217
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:29.520
And so we're giving from wholeness.

218
00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:32.680
I'm not giving, hoping I'm going to get something back.

219
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.280
That's still a different form of lack.

220
00:20:36.280 --> 00:20:40.560
But we stop organizing our life around scarcity.

221
00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:43.400
Oh, I got to tighten this budget.

222
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.600
I got a pinch over here.

223
00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:49.760
What else could I'm not saying don't be wise with your money and steward, ask God to, we

224
00:20:49.760 --> 00:20:53.800
should never, am I saying not have wisdom?

225
00:20:53.800 --> 00:20:54.800
Okay.

226
00:20:54.800 --> 00:21:01.560
The other extreme is you're organizing your life around scarcity.

227
00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:11.400
And so it's learning to live as, as vessels and not vaults, right?

228
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:18.480
And what I want you to understand, cause I got this, I've gotten this on many levels.

229
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.920
the years have impacted me so much.

230
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.640
For whatever reason, I have a lot of reversing probably still do to do in this area.

231
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:35.920
I just so much negative programming to try to chip away and chip away.

232
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:43.200
And so I had one, I had one coach probably three, four years ago, Derek Rydell, that

233
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:48.880
taught how to have a giving plan.

234
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.480
And it like, it's almost like a giving budget is the opposite, but it's in every looking

235
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.340
at all areas.

236
00:21:56.340 --> 00:22:07.480
So giving appreciation, even giving forgiveness, that's for giving, look at the word, right?

237
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:13.000
And that will block that will block and cause debt.

238
00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:16.760
Any unforgiveness is a form of debt.

239
00:22:16.760 --> 00:22:21.200
And so you're holding a debt that then creates external debt.

240
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.360
So unforgiveness is very often tied with debt.

241
00:22:24.360 --> 00:22:32.520
So looking at all the ways that I can give, giving encouragement, giving appreciation,

242
00:22:32.520 --> 00:22:43.760
giving things, giving great service is huge, giving, you know, every, every angle that

243
00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:44.760
we can give.

244
00:22:44.760 --> 00:22:50.880
It's not just money, but it's starting to have that kind of mindset and understanding

245
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:57.320
that this is activating flow, giving prayer, okay?

246
00:22:57.320 --> 00:23:04.760
And also understanding that what you give, the boomerang effect, it does come back.

247
00:23:04.760 --> 00:23:08.120
You're not giving for that reason, but there is a law.

248
00:23:08.120 --> 00:23:15.560
And so if I'm giving lots of encouragement, maybe I need encouragement and I just give

249
00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:21.160
lots of encouragement, not with expectation that I'm giving to get, but just, okay, I'm

250
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.200
activating flow.

251
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.640
I know I really need encouragement.

252
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:26.880
I'm going to give lots of encouragement.

253
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:31.040
If you need support, give lots of support.

254
00:23:31.040 --> 00:23:35.760
If you desire opportunity, create opportunity for others.

255
00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:42.560
If you desire referrals, give lots of referrals, not as a formula, but as a way of becoming

256
00:23:42.560 --> 00:23:46.840
whole and generous and aligned with God's nature.

257
00:23:46.840 --> 00:23:49.160
God wants us to become like him.

258
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.160
Okay.

259
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:55.200
I want to give you a couple backup verses for study before we go into prayer.

260
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:56.840
Is this helpful?

261
00:23:56.840 --> 00:23:57.840
Yeah.

262
00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:58.840
Okay.

263
00:23:58.840 --> 00:24:08.480
So a couple backups, 2 Corinthians 9, 8, 2 Corinthians 9, 8.

264
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:15.480
This is such, I have been actually speaking this verse on my walks.

265
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:22.760
It's become like one of my regular come out of my mouth versus, okay.

266
00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:29.840
And it says something like this, depending on your translation, God is able to make all

267
00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:41.320
grace overflow to you so that always, I want you to hear all the alls, always having all

268
00:24:41.320 --> 00:24:46.520
sufficiency in everything.

269
00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:50.520
You may have an abundance for every good deed.

270
00:24:50.520 --> 00:24:57.560
Let me see if I can find, yeah, or translation.

271
00:24:57.560 --> 00:24:59.640
I like this translation a lot.

272
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.640
And Brenda, can you give me that, the verses, I'm sorry, I got 2nd Corinthians, but...

273
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.640
9, 8.

274
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:08.640
Oh, 9, 8.

275
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.640
Okay, thank you.

276
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.640
2nd Corinthians 9, 8.

277
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:20.640
And it's basically saying, the way I have it memorized, he's able to make all grace

278
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:29.720
abound to have all sufficiency in all things for every good work.

279
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:36.200
And when you just think about this, abound, God is able to give you all sufficiency,

280
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:42.440
like just think about that word, all sufficiency.

281
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:51.720
He's able to make all grace abound to have all sufficiency in all things that you might

282
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.440
have an abundance for every good deed.

283
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.480
So, you know, this is total soul prosperity language, right?

284
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.640
I mean, it's all grace, it's all sufficiency, it's all things, it's abundance for every

285
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.640
good deed.

286
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:09.040
This is a lot of huge alls.

287
00:26:09.040 --> 00:26:15.280
And so I'll just always, you know, we always say, you know, my God will supply, Philippians

288
00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:20.040
4, 8, my God will supply all your needs according to his riches.

289
00:26:20.040 --> 00:26:24.640
And this one just goes right with it, and my God is able to give you all sufficiency.

290
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.120
Just think about all sufficiency.

291
00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:32.240
What a word, all sufficiency.

292
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:40.400
And so what breaking of the lack is we get to the place that God's desire is not just

293
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.560
that we barely survive.

294
00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:51.520
And you know, we, many of us grew up, did you grow up ever feeling like it was selfish

295
00:26:51.520 --> 00:26:55.120
to ask or desire or receive something?

296
00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:59.520
Like maybe you'd ask for something, mommy, I really want those new tennis shoes.

297
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:03.880
And you get something like, how can you be so selfish?

298
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:05.600
That's one answer, right?

299
00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:08.520
When your brother needs surgery and blah, blah, blah.

300
00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:10.800
Like in other words, your needs don't matter.

301
00:27:10.800 --> 00:27:15.240
Or you might say, mommy, I'm so excited about those new, can I have those new sneakers?

302
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.080
I really want those.

303
00:27:17.080 --> 00:27:20.000
And you say, now where's the money going to come from for that?

304
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.000
Where are we going to?

305
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.120
But whatever the case, whether you were made to feel selfish or made to feel that there's

306
00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:34.840
not enough to go around or made to feel wrong for asking in one form or another, we begin

307
00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:42.800
to take on this idea that asking is wrong, desiring is wrong, having is wrong.

308
00:27:42.800 --> 00:27:46.680
And if I have, I'm taking from someone else.

309
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.520
And if I have, I'm depleting.

310
00:27:48.520 --> 00:27:52.760
It's like, if I eat, you know, that meal, that's a meal, someone else.

311
00:27:52.760 --> 00:27:54.240
And I'd even get that one.

312
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.960
Think about all the starving kids in Africa, you know, stop asking.

313
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:02.320
As if me asking is changing the starving kids in Africa.

314
00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:08.760
But this is the kind of deep stuff that gets in our little, little girl brains, right?

315
00:28:08.760 --> 00:28:11.920
That stays with us.

316
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:16.280
And so it's verses like this that begin to break it.

317
00:28:16.280 --> 00:28:19.520
First of all, God is my source.

318
00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:25.660
Second of all, he's able to make all grace abound, that I can have all sufficiency in

319
00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:27.160
all things.

320
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:32.700
And third, he supplies all my needs according to his riches.

321
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:36.960
And fourth, what we're talking about here, I can activate the flow.

322
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:42.160
There's a law that if I give, it's given them to me, right?

323
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.080
Okay.

324
00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:50.400
So let me just look at some of your notes here that you're writing.

325
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:56.720
Oh, okay.

326
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:58.280
I think you're having internet problems.

327
00:28:58.280 --> 00:28:59.280
Okay.

328
00:28:59.280 --> 00:29:09.200
So another backup verse is Proverbs 11, 24 and 25.

329
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:16.120
Proverbs 11, 24 and 25.

330
00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:26.320
Someone want to read that?

331
00:29:26.320 --> 00:29:38.320
Proverbs, right after Psalms, chapter 11, 24 and 25.

332
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.440
I can read it.

333
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:40.440
I'm almost there.

334
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.440
All right.

335
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:42.440
Just give me one second.

336
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:43.440
Yeah.

337
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.440
Great.

338
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:45.440
Perfect.

339
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.440
Okay.

340
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:54.640
One person gives freely, yet gains even more.

341
00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:00.640
Another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

342
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:07.760
A generous person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

343
00:30:07.760 --> 00:30:11.840
Yeah. Isn't that good? It's good.

344
00:30:11.840 --> 00:30:24.000
Here it is in the NLT. Give freely and become more wealthy. Be stingy and lose everything.

345
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:38.160
A generous will prosper. Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

346
00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:47.120
This is counterintuitive, right? Because we think in order to be safe, I need to hold on.

347
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.920
This is what happens even in a recession. We get scared,

348
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.440
everybody stops spending, we stop circulating everything.

349
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:59.520
There's a contraction in the economy because we think I got to be safe.

350
00:31:03.360 --> 00:31:09.680
And so this mindset kicks in. This is the paradox of kingdom flow.

351
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:18.000
It's really counterintuitive. Fear says hold tighter. Wisdom says open your hand.

352
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.440
He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

353
00:31:22.800 --> 00:31:28.880
Brenda, I love the Passion Translation. It says if you want to reign in life,

354
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:35.280
don't sit on your hands. Instead, work hard at doing what's right.

355
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:41.440
For the slacker will end up working to make someone else succeed.

356
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:42.960
Are you in Proverbs 11?

357
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:45.520
Oh, wait a minute. You know what?

358
00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:50.480
No, I'm in Proverbs 12. Sorry about that. I was so excited about that verse.

359
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:53.920
That's a good verse. You were meant to read it, keep your finger there.

360
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:57.840
But now let's hear it. I think you're off a chapter.

361
00:31:57.840 --> 00:32:03.680
Well, it says anxious fear brings depression, but a life-giving word of encouragement can do

362
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:09.360
wonders to restore joy to the heart. I was just, I'm like, wow, that's really powerful.

363
00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:12.160
I don't remember it saying it like that before.

364
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:18.880
That's why, but how interesting. It's very, um, what is it we're talking about?

365
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:21.680
What does it say in Proverbs 11 in the Passion Translation?

366
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:26.400
Oh, yeah, because I love the Passion. I love it. It's just so great.

367
00:32:27.040 --> 00:32:30.480
The 11th, the actual verse, sorry about that, ladies.

368
00:32:31.520 --> 00:32:32.720
No, it was meant to be.

369
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.120
I always say me and my special eyes. I have these special eyes, right?

370
00:32:37.280 --> 00:32:41.520
I always say me and my special eyes. I have these special eyes, right?

371
00:32:45.840 --> 00:32:55.440
Okay, so here it is. It says in Proverbs 11, 24, it says,

372
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:03.920
generosity brings prosperity, but withholding from charity brings poverty.

373
00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:10.080
Those who live to bless others will have blessings heaped upon them,

374
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:19.040
and the one who pours out his life to pour out, will pour out blessings, will be saturated with

375
00:33:19.040 --> 00:33:25.520
favor. So that's beautiful. Wow. Yeah, I love that.

376
00:33:26.080 --> 00:33:33.760
Wow. So what I want you to get in the principle of this that's so powerful

377
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:37.360
is that we don't open the flow by chasing provision.

378
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.160
We open the flow, first of all, by agreeing that God is our source.

379
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:52.400
Coming from that perspective, because flow is often not blocked by the circumstance itself,

380
00:33:53.280 --> 00:33:59.360
but by our agreement with lack. So how do you know you're agreeing with lack?

381
00:34:00.560 --> 00:34:07.040
There's things like this. I can't afford it. It's agreeing with lack. There's never enough.

382
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:15.199
That's agreeing with lack. No one's buying. I'm always behind.

383
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:27.040
I have to do everything myself. People won't pay. I can't charge that. It's not working.

384
00:34:29.120 --> 00:34:36.000
What if this never changes? I have to hold on because more might not come.

385
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:42.560
These words are not neutral. They reveal what you're agreeing with.

386
00:34:46.080 --> 00:34:52.800
We have to become so conscious of our words. Now, it's not about denying facts. If there's a bill,

387
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.200
there's a bill. If there's a gap, there's a gap. If there's a business issue, yes, we need wisdom,

388
00:34:57.200 --> 00:35:04.800
we need action. But the question is, how do you know you're agreeing with lack?

389
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:09.200
question I'm trying to get you to look at is what truth is governing me while I face the facts.

390
00:35:09.200 --> 00:35:14.000
So the bank account might be low, the debt might be high, the bills may be, the job may be,

391
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:21.440
like there's facts happening. Okay, I'm not, we're not like baring our head like ostriches.

392
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:29.520
I'm not saying that we're aware of the facts, but now what truth? It's kind of like the reframe,

393
00:35:29.520 --> 00:35:35.600
Elen was going, oh man, I got to have cataract surgery and eyebrow surgery, and the woman's

394
00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:40.960
going, no, just look at it, you get to get upgrades. Okay, that's called a reframe in

395
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:47.600
counseling, in psychology, right? It's a reframe. So it's the same thing. Oh, wow,

396
00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:53.920
what an opportunity for God to show up right now. What a testimony. It's like when Christy

397
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:58.000
got diagnosed with cancer and she immediately said, this is going to be a testimony to a

398
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:05.200
million people, this healing. She didn't go into, oh my gosh, the cancer is going to ravish my body

399
00:36:05.200 --> 00:36:11.520
and I'm going to die and it's all over. She immediately did a reframe that lines up with,

400
00:36:11.520 --> 00:36:16.480
okay, God is a healer. This is going to be a miracle. This is going to be such a big miracle

401
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.480
that a million lives are going to get touched by this miracle. And so you've got to constantly look

402
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:29.040
at what truth is governing me about that fact. Am I governed by lack or am I governed by the

403
00:36:29.040 --> 00:36:36.640
word of God? Does this line up with the word of God? And this is where you must learn, and we'll

404
00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:43.120
get more into this tomorrow. You must learn the power of declaration because your words are like

405
00:36:43.120 --> 00:36:51.040
energetic packets of just power. Like you're not just sending out something neutral. These are like

406
00:36:51.040 --> 00:37:00.960
vibratory, energetic, like swords going out. So your words are so, so powerful and your

407
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:09.600
declarations matter because words are creating agreement. So declaration is not pretending,

408
00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:19.280
it's choosing God's word, right? And so you decree things like God is my source. God is able to make

409
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:25.840
all grace abound. Like we read earlier, I have sufficiency in all things. So no matter what my

410
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:32.480
eyes see, my spiritual eyes are standing on what I see in the word. I have all sufficiency for all

411
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:39.440
things. I have abundance for every good work. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not lack. I do these

412
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.760
kind of declarations in my morning walk. And literally I'm saying speak them out loud so that

413
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:51.760
not only your brain hears them, but you're releasing it out energetically. The Lord is my

414
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:59.440
shepherd. I shall not lack. I'm safe to give. I'm safe to receive. I'm safe to steward increase.

415
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:05.840
I break agreement with lack and scarcity. This applies to business as well, ladies. This applies

416
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:14.560
to business. Some women are praying this applies to business. Some women are praying for more clients.

417
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:21.920
And yet they're speaking lack. Oh, there's no one buying right now. No one buys what I want.

418
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:26.320
No one's showing up. Like they're praying for something, but they're canceling their prayer

419
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:32.560
with their words. Or they're praying for abundance in their business, and then they're out of fear,

420
00:38:32.560 --> 00:38:41.360
undercharging. Or they're out of fear, not showing up. Or they're not making offers, right?

421
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:49.840
See how this all ties together? So underneath there's like a fear, and we talked about that before.

422
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:59.040
So God's not just bringing provision to us, but I've been talking to you over the years about

423
00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:08.240
capacity. He's also increasing our capacity to hold. Oh, I love that. Get excited about what if,

424
00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:16.720
Kim. That's so good. So flow requires both release, the giving, and capacity, the ability. It's okay

425
00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:24.000
for people to pay me a large sum. It's okay to ask for more. It's okay to make offers. It's okay

426
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:29.680
to show up. I'm safe to increase. I'm safe to receive. I'm safe. I can't tell you how many

427
00:39:29.680 --> 00:39:36.960
clients that the root of this is that they don't feel safe to show up. Or the root is they feel if

428
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:43.440
they get too much money, they're going to lose their godliness, or something bad is going to

429
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:49.200
happen. Okay, let's get into prayer. There's so much I want to talk about, but we'll continue

430
00:39:49.200 --> 00:39:55.520
this conversation tomorrow in From Pressure to Partnership. We'll really take this in deep,

431
00:39:55.520 --> 00:39:59.760
but let's take some time now to pray.

432
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.880
Okay, and so remember the prayers.

433
00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:05.960
We're praying for Beth to feel better.

434
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:08.320
We're praying for Elen's surgeries.

435
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.240
We're praying for Amanda's dad in the hospital

436
00:40:11.240 --> 00:40:13.780
and her husband Ed's job situation.

437
00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:15.880
We're praying for Linda, mom,

438
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:18.600
continuing to pray for Christie's healing

439
00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:23.600
and anything else that we've forgotten, okay?

440
00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:25.420
Let's go ahead and pray.

441
00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:28.040
Anybody can pray and I'll finish us.

442
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:35.000
Heavenly Father, as we come together,

443
00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:40.760
oh my gosh, Lord, there's just so much blessing

444
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:41.720
in this room, Lord.

445
00:40:41.720 --> 00:40:45.480
Thank you for Brenda and her wisdom

446
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:49.520
and the outflow of all blessings

447
00:40:49.520 --> 00:40:53.360
that she gives to others so graciously, Lord.

448
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.240
I just pray for blessings over her

449
00:40:55.240 --> 00:40:58.040
that her expansion will just continue

450
00:40:58.040 --> 00:41:01.400
to impact women like each and every one of us, Father.

451
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.720
So we're just so thankful, Lord,

452
00:41:03.720 --> 00:41:06.920
and thankful for each and every woman in this group

453
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:11.440
as you expand the questions of what if,

454
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:16.440
like what if your promises were the basis for our lives,

455
00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:21.300
Lord, that we just took this new season, right?

456
00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:26.300
This new half of 2026 and just evolved

457
00:41:27.220 --> 00:41:32.220
into what if those promises came to life, Lord?

458
00:41:34.060 --> 00:41:35.380
What would that look like?

459
00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:38.180
Let us imagine, let us dream,

460
00:41:38.180 --> 00:41:42.940
and let us see you and know you and hear you, Father.

461
00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:47.060
We thank you for the blessing of Helen

462
00:41:47.060 --> 00:41:51.340
and 39 years of marriage, Lord, how very cool.

463
00:41:51.340 --> 00:41:53.700
And I know that you've been the front runner

464
00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:56.620
each and every moment for them, Father.

465
00:41:56.620 --> 00:41:58.900
We just thank you for the blessing

466
00:41:58.900 --> 00:42:01.980
of her upcoming surgeries, Lord,

467
00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:05.740
that the hand of all involved will just be

468
00:42:05.740 --> 00:42:10.740
in such excellence and that she gets the benefits

469
00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:15.940
from seeing greater and just being able

470
00:42:16.140 --> 00:42:19.340
to really honor you in the blessing, Lord.

471
00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:23.580
We thank you for the blessing of our parents for Brenda

472
00:42:24.340 --> 00:42:27.900
and for Amanda and for myself and everyone else

473
00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:32.740
in this room that you have given us their lives, Lord,

474
00:42:32.740 --> 00:42:37.740
and that we get to watch and see all that you have for them

475
00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:40.940
in each area of their lives and their time, Lord.

476
00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:45.380
We ask for peace over the processes that are involved, Lord.

477
00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:51.260
We thank you for the gift of blessing and healing

478
00:42:54.420 --> 00:42:57.540
over each and every one of us, Lord.

479
00:42:57.540 --> 00:43:02.220
And we pray for healing in the areas

480
00:43:02.220 --> 00:43:05.700
for each and every one of us in this room, Lord,

481
00:43:05.700 --> 00:43:07.940
for whatever that looks like for each of us, Lord.

482
00:43:07.940 --> 00:43:11.860
Let us be trusting and knowing that you're the redeemer

483
00:43:11.860 --> 00:43:15.340
and the healer of all people and all things, Lord.

484
00:43:15.340 --> 00:43:17.740
So we just thank you for that, Lord.

485
00:43:17.740 --> 00:43:21.700
We just thank you for the grace that you give us

486
00:43:21.740 --> 00:43:26.500
and for the generosity of each and every one of us, Lord,

487
00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:30.060
that we would expand that for your glory, Father.

488
00:43:30.060 --> 00:43:32.420
We just thank you for this week ahead,

489
00:43:32.420 --> 00:43:36.420
walking into a brand new month, a brand new quarter,

490
00:43:36.420 --> 00:43:40.820
a brand new season, Lord, that you will just multiply us

491
00:43:40.820 --> 00:43:44.940
as the prayer of Jabez says, to expand us

492
00:43:44.940 --> 00:43:47.620
as far as the East is from the West, Lord,

493
00:43:47.620 --> 00:43:51.140
that you'll protect us and that you will just see us

494
00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:54.820
and that we would see you even greater, Lord,

495
00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:57.780
as our true partnership in life, Father.

496
00:43:57.780 --> 00:44:01.740
We just thank you for these things, amen.

497
00:44:21.140 --> 00:44:26.140
Lord, thank you for your word.

498
00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:35.980
Thank you for wisdom and the ability

499
00:44:37.780 --> 00:44:42.780
to understand what activates flow.

500
00:44:47.620 --> 00:44:50.460
Lord, you said in 3 John 2 that you desire

501
00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:55.500
that we may prosper in all things and be in health,

502
00:44:56.580 --> 00:44:58.780
even as our soul prospers.

503
00:45:00.720 --> 00:45:04.400
And this is about prospering our soul,

504
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.280
our mind, will and emotions to renew

505
00:45:09.240 --> 00:45:12.680
that we think like you think and we speak like you speak

506
00:45:12.680 --> 00:45:16.240
and we act like you've called us to act

507
00:45:16.240 --> 00:45:20.920
and we believe according to your word.

508
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:27.560
So Lord, I pray in this room

509
00:45:28.520 --> 00:45:33.520
and everyone listening to the sound of my voice

510
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:37.120
that the belief and the attachment

511
00:45:37.120 --> 00:45:40.440
and the living from a place of scarcity

512
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:45.000
and lack is broken in Jesus name.

513
00:45:46.240 --> 00:45:51.240
That truth will replace that belief that has been ingrained

514
00:45:53.680 --> 00:45:57.040
and that we will begin to see and live

515
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:59.920
and act from a place of abundance,

516
00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:02.760
from your all sufficiency,

517
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:06.520
from knowing that you are our source,

518
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:12.160
that you Lord supply all our needs

519
00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:14.120
according to your riches

520
00:46:14.120 --> 00:46:19.120
and never were you skimpy in your giving.

521
00:46:20.120 --> 00:46:25.120
You are a lavish, generous God that loves to prosper.

522
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.280
Just look at Abraham, look at Jacob, look at Esther,

523
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:36.400
look at all of your beautiful people.

524
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.280
You lavished on them.

525
00:46:39.640 --> 00:46:42.840
When you told the disciples to cast their net

526
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:44.280
on the other side,

527
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.680
it was about stop doing things the same way

528
00:46:47.680 --> 00:46:52.680
that's not working, cast over here, do it this way,

529
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.880
which is what you're teaching us today.

530
00:46:55.640 --> 00:46:57.520
And it says that they brought in so many fish

531
00:46:57.520 --> 00:47:01.240
that it took the other boats and it almost sunk the boats.

532
00:47:01.240 --> 00:47:04.040
You didn't just give them a fish for a meal,

533
00:47:04.040 --> 00:47:07.240
you overflowed in abundance.

534
00:47:08.080 --> 00:47:10.800
And I'm thinking about the accidental delivery

535
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.280
in my organic box this week,

536
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.880
knowing maybe I was gonna teach this,

537
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.760
that you didn't give me the two pounds of bananas I ordered,

538
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.080
the one bunch of bananas,

539
00:47:21.080 --> 00:47:24.520
you gave me eight bunches of bananas.

540
00:47:24.520 --> 00:47:27.280
Like, and I tried to cancel and explain

541
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.080
and you're like, no, this is yours.

542
00:47:30.080 --> 00:47:33.720
And so I got to give bananas to Linda when she visited

543
00:47:33.720 --> 00:47:37.000
and to my next door neighbor and to my daughter

544
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.120
and to like, I was giving bananas everywhere.

545
00:47:40.120 --> 00:47:43.120
Thank you, Lord, that you just reminded me of that.

546
00:47:43.120 --> 00:47:46.320
This is how you roll.

547
00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:50.280
And so Lord, I pray that becomes the kind of testimony

548
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.600
in our lives in every area.

549
00:47:52.600 --> 00:47:55.960
I just pray for an abundance, Lord,

550
00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:00.920
an abundance for every single person watching this, Lord,

551
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.240
as we break association and we speak the truth

552
00:48:04.240 --> 00:48:07.280
and we live the truth and we act according to the truth.

553
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.280
I ask that in Jesus name, amen, amen.

554
00:48:14.680 --> 00:48:17.120
All right, yeah, I just got reminded of the bananas.

555
00:48:17.120 --> 00:48:20.120
Linda saw all my bananas, so much fun.

556
00:48:21.120 --> 00:48:26.120
And all right, ladies, who came to your mind

557
00:48:26.520 --> 00:48:29.320
that needs to be part of this?

558
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:34.320
Love to have part of our giving is start inviting people.

559
00:48:34.520 --> 00:48:38.640
And if you want me to share a link

560
00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:41.840
that they can listen to this or talk to them,

561
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:45.640
invite them to come experience this, all right?

562
00:48:45.640 --> 00:48:50.640
And I will see you tomorrow in From Pressure to Partnership

563
00:48:51.160 --> 00:48:53.260
and of course, Office Hours.

564
00:48:53.260 --> 00:48:54.920
Lots of love, see you there.
