1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.340
All right, welcome, welcome, happy Wednesday.

2
00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:11.720
And of course, Wednesday is our power hour time.

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:20.640
This is where we just dive into the word and like Mary, where it says that Mary stored

4
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.960
these things in her heart.

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:36.960
We get the promises of God and we store them in our heart and together we pray and we walk

6
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:46.880
through this journey of life, of love, of relationships, of building businesses.

7
00:00:46.880 --> 00:01:00.840
And we, Kim back in, we just let the word form the foundation for the ground that we

8
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:02.480
stand on, right?

9
00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:07.400
That's 1010 of last year, October 10th, God told me to start this.

10
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:16.320
And so now as it's part of the entire Prosper Leader membership, it's really evolved beautifully

11
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.680
that it lays the foundation.

12
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.800
And then tomorrow for the next 12 weeks, we've got build like Jesus.

13
00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:29.600
What would happen over 12 weeks if every dimension of our business, we actually built it like

14
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:30.760
Jesus.

15
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:35.160
And so today lays the scriptural foundation for that.

16
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:37.200
And I'm just so excited.

17
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.040
I'm loving the growth.

18
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:48.080
I'm loving the growth that I see between us Prosper Sisters and how we're knowing each

19
00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:53.040
other more and more and holding each other and supporting and feeling more and more safe

20
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.720
and how beautiful it is to have a circle like this.

21
00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:04.320
I'm honored to just be here with you all and see the growth.

22
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.520
I did a deep dive for the founder, Prosper Leader members, a lot of transformation happened.

23
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:17.080
Lindsay can tell you she was there, Rhonda, it was just a beautiful time.

24
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:24.120
And a lot of growth happened and we'll do one again for the founder members.

25
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.880
But anyway, what I want to talk about today is something I think that you're all going

26
00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:32.120
to absolutely relate to.

27
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.720
We've got quite a few scriptures to get through, so I'm going to kind of keep this moving and

28
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.240
you guys can study afterwards too.

29
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:51.880
I want to talk about that some of the most dangerous distractions in business, they don't

30
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:55.400
look like distractions.

31
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.000
Some of the most dangerous distractions in business don't look like distractions.

32
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.280
They look like good opportunities, shiny object syndrome.

33
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.200
They look like urgent requests.

34
00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:21.720
They look like unanswered messages, people that need strategies that seem like they're

35
00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:25.680
working for us or for others.

36
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.160
And so the question we're going to open with today is not just, is this good?

37
00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:38.840
The deeper question we're going to address today and through tomorrow's Build Like Jesus,

38
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.680
is this mine?

39
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:52.880
Is this God's direction for me right now?

40
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.920
There's a lot pulling on us.

41
00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:00.640
Many of you here are in the sandwich generation.

42
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:08.480
You got parents pulling on you with health challenges and Alzheimer's and all of that.

43
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:12.800
You've got kids and sometimes grandkids pulling on you.

44
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:19.360
And so we're this sandwich generation that is facing an unprecedented amount of pressure.

45
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:27.120
And so there's a level of discernment that is needed to walk this out like Jesus would.

46
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.400
And I think you're going to love some of the stuff we're going to be covering and some

47
00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:32.400
of these scriptures.

48
00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.600
I just pray they're encouraging.

49
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.600
And so Holy Spirit, I just pray that you open our minds, you open our hearts, you open our

50
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:45.840
spiritual senses to hear what you have to say for us in this moment, right here, right

51
00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:46.840
now.

52
00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:52.200
And I pray that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart will be pleasing

53
00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:53.600
in your sight.

54
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.120
In Jesus name, amen.

55
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.960
Okay, we're going to talk in Mark 1.

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.240
A very interesting scene in Mark 1.

57
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:10.400
So to give you a little backdrop, and you guys can go back and study Mark 1, but a little

58
00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.920
backdrop, Jesus had experienced what, if we were in the business world, we would call

59
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.080
like wild success, wild momentum.

60
00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:25.460
He was experiencing incredible momentum.

61
00:05:25.460 --> 00:05:31.700
People were being healed, demons were being cast out, the crowds were flocking.

62
00:05:31.700 --> 00:05:40.220
In fact, one verse says the whole town gathered at his door, if you can imagine this.

63
00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:46.780
And you've probably seen some of the movies, you know, where they took the layman and carved

64
00:05:46.780 --> 00:05:50.500
a hole in the roof to drop him in because they couldn't get to Jesus, like there was

65
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.740
throngs around him, right?

66
00:05:54.940 --> 00:06:01.620
So it says in Mark 1 that the whole town had gathered in his day, and the next morning,

67
00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:08.940
this has been a full day and evening of healing, and early in the morning, the disciples say

68
00:06:08.940 --> 00:06:11.380
something really interesting.

69
00:06:11.380 --> 00:06:16.340
They say, everyone is looking for you.

70
00:06:16.340 --> 00:06:21.220
Don't you just like land on that sentence, ever feel like that?

71
00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:22.620
I know you do Linda, right?

72
00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:27.220
I mean, everyone is looking for you.

73
00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:32.660
Like you've got this project, you're on top, and two kids call you, and your mom calls

74
00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:38.860
you, and you're like, your toilet overflow, like everyone is looking for you.

75
00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:45.780
Like demand was waiting, opportunity was knocking, the crowd wanted more.

76
00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:52.420
But we're going to see something so beautiful, there's a real revelation and insight in this

77
00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.700
scripture that we're going to go through today.

78
00:06:54.700 --> 00:07:06.580
Jesus did not allow yesterday's success at all, or the demand to determine his direction.

79
00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:09.820
This is going to be very eye opening, I believe.

80
00:07:09.820 --> 00:07:14.140
So we're going to come back to that, that's going to be during when I talk about the principle.

81
00:07:14.140 --> 00:07:20.980
Let's lay some promises before as the foundation, because I always give you promises to stand

82
00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:21.980
on.

83
00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:26.180
I'm going to stand on some promises that I'm going to come back to the principle of how

84
00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:29.260
Jesus handled what we're facing today.

85
00:07:29.260 --> 00:07:30.260
How did Jesus do it?

86
00:07:30.260 --> 00:07:33.980
If we're going to build Jesus way, how did he do it?

87
00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:43.380
So but before we examine that, we're going to come with a principle that we don't begin

88
00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:44.940
with circumstances.

89
00:07:44.940 --> 00:07:50.220
This is always the key, we don't focus on circumstances, we focus on his word.

90
00:07:50.260 --> 00:07:56.340
We don't focus on conditions, conditions are secondary, his word is primary.

91
00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:59.620
That's a principle we've been talking about throughout.

92
00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:03.540
It's not what our eyes see, it's what the word says.

93
00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:07.240
That's why we walk by faith and not by sight, right?

94
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.820
So let's do a couple quick promises, I'm going to be moving fast because I really want to

95
00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:14.900
get through this and you guys can study deeper.

96
00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:30.860
So let's start with Psalms 32, verse eight, Psalms 32, verse eight, Psalms 32, verse eight.

97
00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:44.260
If you could read that and tell us what translation you're reading from, Psalms 32, verse eight.

98
00:08:44.260 --> 00:08:51.460
Okay, I have an NIV.

99
00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:54.420
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.

100
00:08:54.420 --> 00:08:58.140
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

101
00:08:58.140 --> 00:08:59.140
Love it.

102
00:08:59.140 --> 00:09:03.140
Okay, so teacher, there's a couple things that he's going to do.

103
00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:05.900
What are they?

104
00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:11.300
He is going to instruct and teach us and he's going to counsel us with his loving eye on

105
00:09:11.300 --> 00:09:12.300
us.

106
00:09:12.300 --> 00:09:13.300
Okay.

107
00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.340
Yeah.

108
00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:15.340
Okay.

109
00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.340
Anybody have another translation?

110
00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:26.940
I have the King James, okay.

111
00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:31.460
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go.

112
00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:34.300
I will guide thee with mine eye.

113
00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:35.300
Love it.

114
00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:36.300
Beautiful.

115
00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:37.300
Okay.

116
00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:47.340
I've got the NLT, the New Living Translation, and it says, the Lord says, I will guide you

117
00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:50.780
along the best pathway for your life.

118
00:09:50.780 --> 00:09:56.260
I will advise you and watch over you.

119
00:09:56.260 --> 00:09:59.980
So in all of these verses, I want you to notice the language.

120
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000
I'll guide, I'll advise, I'll counsel, right?

121
00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:07.680
And they all say, I'll watch over you.

122
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:11.560
So you've got this level of instruction,

123
00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:14.400
guiding and watching over.

124
00:10:14.400 --> 00:10:17.240
This is a promise to stand on.

125
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.400
God, thank you.

126
00:10:19.420 --> 00:10:21.480
Thank you that you're instructing me.

127
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.080
I stand ready for your instruction.

128
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.960
Let your word instruct me,

129
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.760
let your spirit instruct me the best pathway.

130
00:10:30.760 --> 00:10:34.600
And thank you that you counsel me and you advise me

131
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.800
and thank you that you watch over us.

132
00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:41.200
So he doesn't just merely point us in a destination

133
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.680
and then leave us to figure out our way.

134
00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:47.360
He promises this ongoing guidance.

135
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.860
And this applies not just to our life,

136
00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:52.400
but here's where we forget.

137
00:10:52.400 --> 00:10:56.560
This applies to our business, our calling, our work,

138
00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:59.500
the people he's entrusted to us.

139
00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:03.860
How often do we run ahead and ask God to bless us

140
00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:07.040
rather than taking the counsel and the teaching

141
00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:10.480
and the instruction and the guidance, right?

142
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.480
And so you can even turn this into a declaration, right?

143
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.940
We take God's word and then we stand on it

144
00:11:17.940 --> 00:11:20.240
and we declare it, we speak it.

145
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.960
His word does not return void, right?

146
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:27.920
So we say, God is guiding me along the best path today.

147
00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:30.920
He's advising me, he's watching over me,

148
00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:33.640
he's making my next step clear.

149
00:11:33.640 --> 00:11:38.640
Okay, let's jump over to Isaiah 48, 17.

150
00:11:41.260 --> 00:11:46.260
Promise number two, Isaiah 48, 17.

151
00:11:46.260 --> 00:11:51.260
Isaiah 48, 17.

152
00:12:03.380 --> 00:12:04.220
Whoever reads it,

153
00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:07.100
just tell me what translation you're reading from.

154
00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:09.460
Isaiah 48, 17.

155
00:12:11.540 --> 00:12:13.260
Okay, I'll do NIV again.

156
00:12:17.140 --> 00:12:18.740
This is what the Lord says,

157
00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:21.060
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

158
00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:22.420
I am the Lord, your God,

159
00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:24.540
who teaches you what is best for you,

160
00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:26.640
who directs you in the way you should go.

161
00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:29.780
Wow, okay.

162
00:12:29.780 --> 00:12:31.820
What teacher, what do you get from that?

163
00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:35.820
He teaches us what's best for us.

164
00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:40.820
He just clearly gives us our focus and directs our path.

165
00:12:41.400 --> 00:12:44.860
Like not that exit, not that exit, this one, right?

166
00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:47.580
Yes, yes.

167
00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:52.060
So the NLT, I happen to be in that this week.

168
00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:54.100
I am the Lord, your God,

169
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:57.540
who teaches you what is good for you

170
00:12:57.540 --> 00:13:02.540
and leads you along the paths you should follow.

171
00:13:03.260 --> 00:13:08.260
So God knows which opportunity is gonna bear fruit.

172
00:13:10.020 --> 00:13:14.720
God knows which relationships actually need attention.

173
00:13:15.260 --> 00:13:19.260
Like sometimes, honestly, the pulls on me from the kids,

174
00:13:19.260 --> 00:13:21.060
I just tune it out.

175
00:13:21.060 --> 00:13:22.940
I'm not being led.

176
00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:27.060
This week, for two of my three kids,

177
00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:31.300
I stopped, made them a priority,

178
00:13:31.300 --> 00:13:35.980
gave them just high quality time, right?

179
00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:38.900
Two days ago, my daughter, last night, my son,

180
00:13:38.900 --> 00:13:40.820
it was clear in my spirit,

181
00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:42.220
but that's not always the case.

182
00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:46.060
They don't always get unlimited that I drop everything.

183
00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:49.820
Their emergencies don't always constitute my emergency.

184
00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:52.740
God knows when we're trusting and we're asking

185
00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:55.980
and we're seeking, which, all of it,

186
00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:58.580
which offer needs refinement,

187
00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:02.660
which ideas are for now and which are for the future.

188
00:14:02.660 --> 00:14:04.540
Like all of this, right?

189
00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:06.980
Every, which activities.

190
00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:10.700
And so here's what I wanna make clear

191
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:12.180
because we do this backwards,

192
00:14:12.180 --> 00:14:13.500
we're always running ahead

193
00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:16.580
and then asking God to bless what we do.

194
00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:20.020
Okay, this is not the way of the word.

195
00:14:20.020 --> 00:14:24.060
He does not promise to bless every direction we choose.

196
00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:25.100
There's nothing that says,

197
00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:26.900
hey, whatever you do, you're blessed.

198
00:14:26.900 --> 00:14:28.420
I'm just gonna cover you.

199
00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:36.220
So he promises to teach us and lead us.

200
00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:39.000
And when we abide, the vine and the branches,

201
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.040
there's a blessing that's in that.

202
00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:45.520
So that means we can stop treating every opportunity

203
00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:47.000
as an assignment.

204
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:52.000
I was so shocked in my 20s when a wise man of God said,

205
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.960
because these doors were opening and it was overwhelming.

206
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.360
I'm talking like when I was founder of a company,

207
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.120
like countries were opening it.

208
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.940
Okay, had a country open where we had access directly to the president of the country.

209
00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:14.220
That's how our business was, it was being open and this mighty man of God said, every

210
00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:18.000
open door does not mean walk through it.

211
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.740
And he said something, and unfortunately we didn't take this counsel, but I'm sharing

212
00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:24.900
from experience with you.

213
00:15:24.900 --> 00:15:31.660
He said, one of the tactics of the enemy is to drain you, drain your resources, drain

214
00:15:31.660 --> 00:15:33.840
your energy.

215
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.260
When you go on an assignment ahead of him, or that he did not tell you to go through,

216
00:15:39.260 --> 00:15:48.940
even though it's an open door, ladies, we lost a half a million dollars going into that

217
00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:53.980
country prematurely.

218
00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:56.380
Every open door doesn't mean walk through it.

219
00:15:56.380 --> 00:15:59.740
The enemy wants to drain your energy and your resources.

220
00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:02.460
You are led by the Holy Spirit.

221
00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:09.020
Scripture says those that are led by the Spirit are the sons and daughters of God.

222
00:16:09.020 --> 00:16:12.480
Promise number three, I want to keep it moving, we've got so much to cover.

223
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:21.300
Promise number three, James 1.5, James 1.5.

224
00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:25.740
I claim this all the time, James 1.5.

225
00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:33.500
This needs to be in your memory, in your mouth, in your heart, James 1.5.

226
00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:45.660
Somebody else who hasn't read yet, jump on in, James 1.5.

227
00:16:45.660 --> 00:16:52.380
We're near the end of the Bible, after the Gospels.

228
00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:56.500
I can read it, I'm almost there, just give me a couple of seconds.

229
00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.500
Okay.

230
00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:58.500
Love it.

231
00:16:58.500 --> 00:17:03.460
Love seeing you guys actually bringing your word here.

232
00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:07.940
You said James 1.5?

233
00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:08.940
Yep.

234
00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.780
Okay, I got it.

235
00:17:10.780 --> 00:17:20.740
It's a NIV, and if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to

236
00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:26.819
all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

237
00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:27.819
Nice.

238
00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:29.580
This is promise number three.

239
00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:35.980
What's the promise that you see in that, Amanda?

240
00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:41.260
And if you don't understand what's going on, you lack wisdom, you should always ask

241
00:17:41.260 --> 00:17:49.820
God for it, and he will give it to you.

242
00:17:49.820 --> 00:17:50.820
Yeah.

243
00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:51.820
Yeah.

244
00:17:51.820 --> 00:17:54.260
And it says he doesn't shame us for needing wisdom.

245
00:17:54.260 --> 00:18:01.140
In fact, the wisest king, King Solomon said, above all, get wisdom, right?

246
00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:08.220
And so he invites us, and so we can ask, who am I called to serve in this season?

247
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.540
What do they need now?

248
00:18:09.540 --> 00:18:12.540
What should I focus on today?

249
00:18:12.540 --> 00:18:16.020
What conversation should I initiate?

250
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:18.860
What needs to be simplified?

251
00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:27.460
Or like what was brought up early in the dating, you know, like, help me not to get anxious

252
00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:34.700
and create the space that he has to step up and lead, and I create the space for him

253
00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:36.180
to be a man of valor.

254
00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:38.220
I don't just take control here.

255
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:41.300
I don't make things happen, right?

256
00:18:41.300 --> 00:18:48.420
All of these things that we can be looking at, God's wisdom is available even before

257
00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:54.060
we open our phones in the morning, even before we look at the numbers or the market or social

258
00:18:54.060 --> 00:18:56.380
media or anything.

259
00:18:56.380 --> 00:19:02.500
We ask God, okay, promise number four, then I want to get back to Mark and what Jesus

260
00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:05.900
did and the principle here, okay?

261
00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:08.700
So promise number four, you all know it.

262
00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:10.020
We've done it before.

263
00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:15.020
It's Matthew 6, 33, Matthew 6, 33.

264
00:19:15.020 --> 00:19:19.620
We've done this one before, but it fits here.

265
00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:21.620
Matthew 6, 33.

266
00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:36.660
What is it, Matthew what?

267
00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:39.140
6, 33.

268
00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:46.380
Okay, I have it.

269
00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.380
Okay.

270
00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:48.380
It's an NIV.

271
00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:49.380
Okay.

272
00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:57.980
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you

273
00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.980
as well.

274
00:19:58.980 --> 00:19:59.980
Okay.

275
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
What's the order?

276
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.000
Seek his kingdom first.

277
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.000
Okay.

278
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000
And?

279
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.000
His righteousness.

280
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.000
Yep. And then?

281
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.000
All these things will be given to you.

282
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.000
Yeah. And all these things in context,

283
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.000
they were worried about what they're

284
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.000
going to eat, how they're going to pay their bills,

285
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.000
what they're going to wear.

286
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.000
We tend to seek that first.

287
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.000
I got a bill due on Wednesday.

288
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.000
I got to get a sale.

289
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.000
Does any of you relate?

290
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.000
Instead of seeking the kingdom of God first

291
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.000
and standing on the promise that all those things.

292
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.000
God, you are my source.

293
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000
I'll seek you first.

294
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.000
I'll seek your righteousness.

295
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.000
You've already said,

296
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.000
you're a good father.

297
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.000
And all these things will be provided.

298
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.000
Right?

299
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.000
So, seeking him first

300
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.000
doesn't mean that we ignore the practical.

301
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.000
We don't bury our head.

302
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.000
But Jesus was teaching us that

303
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.000
the order matters.

304
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.000
The order.

305
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.000
God first.

306
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.000
Then direction.

307
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.000
Then right

308
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.000
action.

309
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.000
We seek God first before we get

310
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.000
into action. We jump into action

311
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.000
too easily.

312
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.000
God first.

313
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.000
We get direction.

314
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.000
And then

315
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.000
action.

316
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.000
So, we don't choose between prayer

317
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.000
and prophet. God's calling us.

318
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.000
We don't choose between

319
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.000
spiritual alignment and practical results.

320
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.000
These go together.

321
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.000
So, if we anchor

322
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.000
all these promises as the

323
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.000
foundation, we know

324
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:40.000
God's guiding us. He's teaching us.

325
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.000
He's given us wisdom. He's providing

326
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.000
for us. We're not building alone.

327
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.000
Okay? Lay in just

328
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.000
a quick foundation.

329
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.000
So now, let's go back to Mark chapter

330
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.000
one and really dig into

331
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.000
this as it applies.

332
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.000
So,

333
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.000
grab Mark one

334
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.000
and verses

335
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.000
32 through 34.

336
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.000
Mark one, 32

337
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.000
through

338
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.000
34.

339
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.000
Somebody want to read that?

340
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.000
Mark one, 32

341
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.000
through 34. Matthew Mark, second

342
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.000
book in the New Testament.

343
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.000
Mark chapter

344
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.000
one verses

345
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.000
32 through 34.

346
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.000
I have it if

347
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.000
nobody else wants to.

348
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.000
Whoever's there is great.

349
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.000
Go ahead. Thank you. Okay.

350
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.000
It's the NIV and

351
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.000
that evening after

352
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.000
sunset, the people

353
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.000
brought to Jesus all

354
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.000
the sick and demon

355
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.000
possessed.

356
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.000
The whole town gathered

357
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.000
at the door

358
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.000
and Jesus healed

359
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.000
many who had various

360
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.000
diseases.

361
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.000
He also drove out

362
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.000
many demons

363
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.000
but he would not let the demons

364
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.000
speak because they knew

365
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.000
who he was.

366
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.000
Okay.

367
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.000
I want you to

368
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:26.000
notice one thing.

369
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.000
The whole town

370
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.000
gathered at his door.

371
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.000
I want you to get the feeling.

372
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.000
I want you to imagine the demand

373
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.000
if all of a sudden in your business

374
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.000

You just like and they

379

00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.000
They're saying Amanda. I got this

386
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.000

387
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.000
like the whole town

388
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.000
needs and you

389
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.000
are like pouring out till late

390
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.000
at night. You're just pouring

391
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.000
out praying and healing and

392
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.000
you know what what God's given you

393
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.000
to give. Okay.

394
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.000
I want you to look

395
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.000
at

396
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.000
Mark 1

397
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.000
35

398
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.000
Mark

399
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.000
1 35

400
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.000
Would you like for me to read it

401
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000
printed? Yeah.

402
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.000
So

403
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.000
the next morning Jesus got

404
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.000
up long before daylight

405
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.000
left the

406
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.000
house while it was dark and

407
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.000
made his way to a secluded place

408
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.000
to give himself to prayer.

409
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.000
Okay.

410
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.000
So, so very early in the morning, his priority first thing in the morning, it was still dark

411
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:08.000
out.

412
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.000
He'd seek his father first.

413
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.000
Yes.

414
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.000
He leaves the house.

415
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.280
He goes to a solitary place where he prays.

416
00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:19.080
He was looking for direction for his next action.

417
00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:20.080
Yeah.

418
00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:25.840
So if we're going to build like Jesus, what comes first?

419
00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:27.320
Seek first the kingdom of God.

420
00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:28.320
Seek first.

421
00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:33.420
He comes before checking our phones, before answering emails, right?

422
00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:40.640
So before he responded to the crowd, he connected with the father.

423
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:46.880
Before public ministry, there is private communion.

424
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:51.920
Before output, he was receiving.

425
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:54.800
Before direction, he was still.

426
00:25:54.800 --> 00:26:03.280
Now you can make a note and go there yourself, Luke 5, 16 also says this was a habit.

427
00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:08.660
It says Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

428
00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:09.920
This was a habit.

429
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:14.480
We know scripturally, this was not a one time, man, I got to pray today.

430
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.960
This was his habit.

431
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.220
The word often matters.

432
00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:21.980
There was a rhythm to Jesus' life.

433
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:25.380
When we build like Jesus, there was a rhythm.

434
00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:27.540
How many of us say, I'm too busy to pray.

435
00:26:27.540 --> 00:26:29.460
I didn't have time to have a morning routine.

436
00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:33.380
I had to have the kids here by, I can't, I'm not a morning person.

437
00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:34.380
I can't.

438
00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:38.980
You know, I'm sure Jesus was tired, staying up all night, praying and healing.

439
00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:43.220
It pulls a lot out of you if you've ever done public ministry.

440
00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:45.700
He still went when it was still dark.

441
00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:48.740
It was non-negotiable for Jesus.

442
00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:58.620
And so now if we keep going in Mark 1 and we keep going 36 through 38, Simon and the

443
00:26:58.620 --> 00:27:01.260
others find Jesus.

444
00:27:01.260 --> 00:27:09.620
So he goes away, he prays, they catch up with him, they find him, they seek him out.

445
00:27:09.620 --> 00:27:14.740
And it says, everyone is looking for you.

446
00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:18.300
My translation says, everyone is looking for you.

447
00:27:18.860 --> 00:27:23.860
Like you wake up and your kids say, mom, dad called.

448
00:27:23.860 --> 00:27:26.260
He really needs you to call back right away.

449
00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:29.900
And you look at your messages and your top client called it in a crisis.

450
00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:36.180
And then your kids call, it's like, everyone is looking for you.

451
00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:39.020
Any of you relate to that?

452
00:27:39.020 --> 00:27:45.980
Everyone is looking for you.

453
00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:49.100
There's pressure in that sentence.

454
00:27:49.100 --> 00:27:51.380
Everyone is looking for you.

455
00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:52.540
People need you.

456
00:27:52.540 --> 00:27:56.260
People are waiting.

457
00:27:56.260 --> 00:27:57.660
What are you doing here praying?

458
00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:58.820
There's so much to do.

459
00:27:58.820 --> 00:28:02.380
Don't you know that everybody's looking for you right now?

460
00:28:02.380 --> 00:28:06.540
What are you over here in a secluded place for?

461
00:28:06.540 --> 00:28:10.100
They're thronging.

462
00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:16.140
By the world's standards, Jesus should have returned to the place where he was already

463
00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:17.140
successful.

464
00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:18.780
He built success and momentum.

465
00:28:18.780 --> 00:28:20.500
Don't you go ride that momentum?

466
00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:25.580
By the world's standards, shouldn't you go back there and hit it again, right?

467
00:28:25.580 --> 00:28:26.580
Ride the momentum.

468
00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:28.060
The demand was proven.

469
00:28:28.060 --> 00:28:30.220
The crowd was waiting.

470
00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:34.700
The momentum was growing.

471
00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:37.500
Jesus's answer is really surprising.

472
00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:41.380
I want you to catch this.

473
00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:53.940
He says, let's go somewhere else to the nearby villages so I can preach there also.

474
00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:57.700
This is why I have come.

475
00:28:57.700 --> 00:29:00.100
So get this.

476
00:29:00.100 --> 00:29:01.820
Crowd over here.

477
00:29:01.820 --> 00:29:04.060
Momentum over here.

478
00:29:04.060 --> 00:29:05.380
They want you.

479
00:29:05.380 --> 00:29:07.900
They're ready for you.

480
00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:17.860
Jesus praying and he says, let's go to the next town because that's why I'm here.

481
00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:20.940
Say what?

482
00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:24.740
You're not being pulled into the crowd.

483
00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:28.020
You're not being pulled into where you're having wild success.

484
00:29:28.020 --> 00:29:30.020
I want you to get this.

485
00:29:30.020 --> 00:29:32.780
Prayer didn't just replenish his energy.

486
00:29:32.780 --> 00:29:35.340
I'm sure it did.

487
00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:39.060
But it didn't just replenish his energy.

488
00:29:39.060 --> 00:29:43.580
It clarified his assignment.

489
00:29:43.580 --> 00:29:45.740
All that we read, I will lead you.

490
00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:46.740
I will guide you.

491
00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:49.220
I will show you the way to go.

492
00:29:49.220 --> 00:29:54.820
In prayer, the father said, now I want you over here.

493
00:29:54.820 --> 00:29:59.740
Even though the scream and the momentum and the excitement and the pull is over here,

494
00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.020
are you going?

495
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:11.720
catching this. He could distinguish. He had the time he

496
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.240
could tell the difference between a great opportunity and

497
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:24.680
God's direction. The demands of the crowd, right? And the

498
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:32.840
purpose of the father. Like, let that land for a minute. Just

499
00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:37.120
let that land. Yesterday's success and today's obedience.

500
00:30:37.560 --> 00:30:48.440
Let that land. So, Jesus built with three priorities. I'm

501
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.160
laying the foundation for tomorrow. Tomorrow, we're gonna

502
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.680
go deep and build like Jesus, okay? And really apply this to

503
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.800
your business. We're gonna get immersive. We're gonna get

504
00:30:57.800 --> 00:31:03.200
practical. You know how we roll, okay? That's tomorrow. And

505
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.360
build like Jesus. Pillar number one. But today, I want you to

506
00:31:08.360 --> 00:31:12.280
get that Jesus built with three priorities. Priority number

507
00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:25.040
one. His source was the father. His source was the father. It's

508
00:31:25.040 --> 00:31:29.920
the difference between responsive energy to God and open

509
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:35.280
energy and reactive energy. I don't know about you but you get

510
00:31:35.280 --> 00:31:39.600
a totally unexpected bill. Your bank balance happens or you get

511
00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:43.800
a diagnosis. You get something. Reactive energy wants to hustle

512
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:49.520
and fix it and make it happen. The first thing we think of is

513
00:31:49.520 --> 00:31:52.920
what can I do right now to solve this? What can I do to fix this?

514
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.520
What can I do to remove this pain, this problem? We get into

515
00:31:56.520 --> 00:32:02.880
reactive and we live in this sympathetic, okay? Not

516
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:09.080
parasympathetic. I mean, amped up nervous system. I gotta solve

517
00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:11.720
this and we're constantly, I gotta put out this fire. We have

518
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.200
a joke about it. I've been putting out fires all day as if

519
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:20.280
that's normal. You're not called to put out fires all day. Jesus

520
00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:26.360
kept remembering. So God, you know what? You're my source.

521
00:32:28.120 --> 00:32:32.600
There's one source. There's lots of resources. You can bring a

522
00:32:32.600 --> 00:32:36.200
gold coin from a fish. You can bring manna from heaven, water

523
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:42.600
from a rock. There's a whole bunch of channels. But I'm

524
00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:45.880
going to stand that you're my source and you're a good father

525
00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:51.960
and I'm going to stand on that first and foremost. You are my

526
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.440
source. My clients are not my force. My husband's not my

527
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.520
source. The government's not my source. Number two, his

528
00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:04.280
sequence. So number one source, his source was the father.

529
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:10.600
Number two, his sequence was connection before action.

530
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:18.040
Connection before action. He did not start with demand or

531
00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:24.760
activity or visibility. He received before he poured out.

532
00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:32.360
He was pouring from a full cup, not an empty. He listened before

533
00:33:32.360 --> 00:33:44.600
he moved. He connected before he acted. I want you to get

534
00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:50.120
this, the order, the rhythm, the sequence matters. All of those

535
00:33:50.120 --> 00:33:53.000
things are important. We need to do what we're called to do.

536
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:56.920
We're called to be diligent. It's the order. Did you jump

537
00:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.520
into action before you sought the father? Did you respond to

538
00:34:00.520 --> 00:34:07.400
put out fires before you ask wisdom? It's not saying that

539
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.199
you don't take action. Faith without works is dead. We're

540
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:17.800
called to take action. However, his sequence was connection

541
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:33.639
before action. Number three, his standard was assignment, not

542
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:48.280
applause. Assignment, not applause. Assignment, not

543
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:53.320
applause. He moved according to purpose. So when we hit

544
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:58.760
tomorrow, we're, I'm going to lead with this principle, you

545
00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.960
don't go online.

546
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:05.840
You don't get on to Substack, on to Facebook, on to, you know, whatever, where you're speaking,

547
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:06.840
on to Zoom.

548
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:09.420
You don't go online to be filled.

549
00:35:09.420 --> 00:35:14.400
You go online already filled.

550
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:18.680
Do you feel the difference?

551
00:35:18.680 --> 00:35:24.080
Because if you don't, a low response can feel like rejection.

552
00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:27.200
Ah, there's crickets, no one's responding.

553
00:35:27.200 --> 00:35:30.540
An unanswered message can feel like failure.

554
00:35:30.540 --> 00:35:38.360
When we make it about that, financial pressure can make everything feel like, you get it?

555
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:41.520
You guys get what I'm saying with this?

556
00:35:41.520 --> 00:35:43.880
So this rhythm is so important.

557
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:47.040
We're going to pick up with this tomorrow.

558
00:35:47.040 --> 00:35:50.680
And I'm going to tell you, we're going to really talk about this.

559
00:35:50.680 --> 00:35:54.000
I'm going to tell you that tomorrow is a really special day.

560
00:35:54.520 --> 00:35:59.320
It is Prosper's 14th anniversary.

561
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:02.020
Tomorrow is Prosper's 14th anniversary.

562
00:36:02.020 --> 00:36:05.040
So you're going to want to be watching your email and checking.

563
00:36:05.040 --> 00:36:10.080
I'm offering some really special things, five spots for some special things.

564
00:36:10.080 --> 00:36:12.420
And I'll tell you all about that tomorrow.

565
00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:15.600
But I'm celebrating, I'm praising God.

566
00:36:15.600 --> 00:36:23.200
14 years since God called me in this direction, a direction that I never anticipated.

567
00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:26.840
I did not come here planning to be a coach at all.

568
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:32.640
I've been a business mentor for decades, and I've been speaking for decades.

569
00:36:32.640 --> 00:36:34.760
I plan to be a speaker.

570
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:40.860
God directed differently in how privileged I am to be here with you today and to see

571
00:36:40.860 --> 00:36:44.440
all that God has done over these 14 years.

572
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:48.480
He is faithful, he is good, and he's no respecter of people.

573
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:52.240
What he does for me, he's going to do for you.

574
00:36:52.240 --> 00:36:55.160
And Jesus said even greater things.

575
00:36:55.160 --> 00:36:58.640
So we need to get into prayer right now.

576
00:36:58.640 --> 00:37:03.000
Remember all of the prayer requests.

577
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:09.440
And I'm also lifting up the sisters that aren't here, that are traveling.

578
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:14.460
Natalie, Rhonda, Michelle, I'm lifting up.

579
00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:18.640
Make sure you write down the prayer requests we opened with, okay?

580
00:37:18.640 --> 00:37:21.520
Do we have time for Kim to finish hers?

581
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:23.640
Yeah, Kim, what was your prayer request?

582
00:37:23.640 --> 00:37:24.640
Thank you.

583
00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:25.640
Thank you, Linda.

584
00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:27.520
I told you, she never misses a thing.

585
00:37:27.520 --> 00:37:30.080
She crosses the T's and dots the I's.

586
00:37:30.080 --> 00:37:33.600
Yes, Linda's incredible, love her so much.

587
00:37:33.600 --> 00:37:43.080
No, it was a praise report, just the test results on my CT showed that I did not have

588
00:37:43.080 --> 00:37:44.080
an aneurysm.

589
00:37:44.080 --> 00:37:45.080
Yay!

590
00:37:45.080 --> 00:37:49.600
I'll tell you, that's something that you don't know, and then you're like, oh my gosh.

591
00:37:49.600 --> 00:37:50.600
So yeah.

592
00:37:50.680 --> 00:37:58.080
I've been in the waiting, and God is so good, and you know, he had spoke to my heart that

593
00:37:58.080 --> 00:37:59.080
it is good.

594
00:37:59.080 --> 00:38:03.360
He didn't say it is fine, he said it is good.

595
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:11.320
I also want all of you beautiful, loving sisters to just send love and energy.

596
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:12.320
She's on here.

597
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:15.200
I'm so grateful she's here, Pilar.

598
00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:21.320
She's gone through three deaths of very close loved ones in a sequence quick.

599
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:27.480
So I want you just like pouring out love to your sister that she's here and praying for

600
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:33.520
her as she tries to pick up life and business and everything.

601
00:38:33.520 --> 00:38:36.160
So hope that's okay, Pilar.

602
00:38:36.160 --> 00:38:40.800
I'm speaking in your behalf because I love you so much, sister.

603
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:41.800
Okay.

604
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:42.800
Let's pray.

605
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:43.800
Let's pray.

606
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.080
Let's pray.

607
00:38:45.120 --> 00:38:47.680
You guys pray, and I'm going to close us out.

608
00:38:57.680 --> 00:39:03.480
Father God, we are so thankful to be here in your presence this morning.

609
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:11.040
So thankful in this sisterhood community of ones who are looking and seeking you, Lord.

610
00:39:11.040 --> 00:39:18.240
We're thankful for your promises, not the conditions and the circumstances of our lives

611
00:39:18.240 --> 00:39:24.840
in every aspect of our lives, Lord, whether it's health or relationships, Lord, whether

612
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:33.240
it's diagnoses or maybe it's healing, Lord, that we take all these things to you, Lord.

613
00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:39.880
Let us be reminded of who our source is and that it is God first always, Lord.

614
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:46.800
Let us be reminded that it is not of what the world offers us, but what you have given

615
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.080
us through salvation, Lord.

616
00:39:50.080 --> 00:40:00.040
I pause and I thank Brenda in so many areas of her life that she has given me a renewal.

617
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.600
And I know that she has for the rest of these incredible women, Lord, that seek you.

618
00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:16.160
So we just thank you for the celebration of 14 years and for the years to come, Lord,

619
00:40:16.160 --> 00:40:22.680
for the abiding that she has done in you, Lord, the investment of who she knows her

620
00:40:22.680 --> 00:40:23.680
father is, Lord.

621
00:40:23.680 --> 00:40:31.640
And I pray that that same investment in each one of us will just guide us in every direction,

622
00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:32.640
Lord.

623
00:40:32.640 --> 00:40:42.160
We are praying and honoring the blessing, even in tragedies of life and death, Lord.

624
00:40:42.160 --> 00:40:48.840
We just pray over Pilar and her family, Lord, that you would just give her a grander time

625
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:55.140
of peace in the grieving process, Lord, that you would give her strength that she knew

626
00:40:55.140 --> 00:41:05.520
not of, Father, and that this time would unite her family in an eternal blessing, Lord, even

627
00:41:05.520 --> 00:41:11.480
in the loss of these family members, Lord, that you would strengthen them, Lord, bring

628
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:15.260
them in unified glory together, Lord.

629
00:41:15.260 --> 00:41:20.460
We just thank you for the healing process, Lord, and we pray over Amanda, Lord, that

630
00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:28.140
we know her results will be good, not just fine as we speak of in the world, but that

631
00:41:28.140 --> 00:41:31.420
it would be good and it would be overflowed with blessing.

632
00:41:31.420 --> 00:41:34.340
Your promise, your blessing, Lord.

633
00:41:34.340 --> 00:41:39.900
We thank you for each and every one of the sisters that are not gathered on Zoom today,

634
00:41:39.900 --> 00:41:46.900
that the promises that you have in each one of your verses, Lord, will not only resonate,

635
00:41:46.900 --> 00:41:52.220
but they will solidify in the souls and hearts of each one of us, Lord.

636
00:41:52.220 --> 00:41:58.580
Lord, we pray for the hidden shadows in our lives that keep us playing small.

637
00:41:58.580 --> 00:42:05.920
Father, that you would bring clarity, Lord, because we know that that requirement of clarity

638
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:13.240
within you is ultimately the treasure eternally, Lord.

639
00:42:13.240 --> 00:42:21.160
We just thank you for the love and the connection and the sisterhood, that kinship that we have

640
00:42:21.160 --> 00:42:24.080
right here in our community, Lord.

641
00:42:24.080 --> 00:42:31.360
We just thank you for this day, for the week ahead, the days ahead, Lord, that you will

642
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:40.960
seed us in the majestic places of growth and love and kindred spirit, Father, in your

643
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.240
heavenly name we pray, amen.

644
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:16.520
Lord, we just thank you.

645
00:43:16.520 --> 00:43:23.560
You are good and your mercies endure forever.

646
00:43:23.560 --> 00:43:28.440
They're new every morning.

647
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:33.480
Great is your faithfulness.

648
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:38.040
Great is your faithfulness.

649
00:43:38.040 --> 00:43:50.440
Lord, I take all of the prayer requests and I touch and I agree that you are calling every

650
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:56.400
single prosperous sister to walk in wholeness, spirit, soul, and body.

651
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:58.640
You are a healer of the brokenhearted.

652
00:43:58.640 --> 00:44:01.200
You are a healer of broken bodies.

653
00:44:01.200 --> 00:44:11.000
You are a healer of emotional trauma and you are the one who leads, who guides, who instructs,

654
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.640
who shows us the way.

655
00:44:14.640 --> 00:44:24.520
Lord, help us to restore divine order, divine rhythm that we're not building from pressure.

656
00:44:24.520 --> 00:44:27.880
We're not building from desperation or need.

657
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:34.880
We are seeking first your kingdom and your righteousness and all these things will be

658
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:37.840
added.

659
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:45.880
Thank you that we can come to you for wisdom and you give without finding fault.

660
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.560
Thank you that you instruct us in the way to go.

661
00:44:50.560 --> 00:44:55.480
Thank you that you show us which doors to walk through and that we're not driven by

662
00:44:55.480 --> 00:45:00.040
the world's standards of demands or applause or anything.

663
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:07.480
Anything that we're driven by your presence that we are presence led presence driven

664
00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:09.940
people

665
00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:11.500
That

666
00:45:11.500 --> 00:45:14.740
Your light within us so shines

667
00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:19.700
You've said we're the light of the world. Let your light so shine

668
00:45:21.420 --> 00:45:23.420
That you father are glorified

669
00:45:24.740 --> 00:45:26.740
May we never hide it under a bushel

670
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:38.000
But may we arise and shine as your glory is upon us. I pray blessings on every single

671
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:44.800
Prosperous sister that's here and that has other things happening and is listening to the replay

672
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:52.700
I lift up every single prosperous sister and the future prosperous sisters that you're calling into this

673
00:45:52.700 --> 00:45:55.240
fold we lift them up and

674
00:45:55.720 --> 00:45:58.480
we just pray your mercy and

675
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:02.480
Your blessings and your grace

676
00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:08.920
Upon us in Jesus mighty name. Amen

677
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:11.800
Ladies

678
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:17.720
See you tomorrow. It's gonna be juicy. It's gonna be good. Get ready. We'll be 8 a.m

679
00:46:18.240 --> 00:46:24.440
Built like Jesus. We're gonna be celebrating some special blessings for the 14th anniversary of

680
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:31.960
Prosper and all things so I love you all so much more than you know, we'll see you tomorrow
