Okay.
Now I can share the screen, my goodness.
All right, welcome to today's
Prosper Member Leader Call.
I'm super, super excited about what God
has really been putting on my heart to share.
And this is something that I believe
is going to affect every aspect of your business
and your personal life and your relationships.
It's something that's been bubbling up and bubbling up.
I was sharing earlier before we started this recording
that I'm seeing it surface,
as we're talking about wanting to increase our income
and we're wanting to increase our impact.
We started with the sales masterclasses, a couple of those.
And that was the idea of, hey, without sales,
then we don't have any income, we don't have any impact.
And then we added the follow-up masterclass
because without follow-up, most of the sales don't happen.
And so that came together, but under all of that is you.
And the mindset, where are you coming from?
What are your beliefs about yourself,
about your potential clients, about your business,
about money, about giving, about receiving?
And so I've been really led to bring back God, money and me.
So I will be having that masterclass next month.
And if you're listening to this in real time,
and we're going to start laying the foundation
for those of you as Prosper Leader members,
you're gonna get a lot of extra.
Just really laying the foundation for breakthrough
and the foundation for really seeing transformation
in your business, your income, but really in your impact.
I know the heart of each one of you
and how much you wanna make a difference.
And this is going to be huge.
I think there's gonna be a lot of things
that are gonna challenge you,
a lot of things that are gonna inspire you,
but I believe this is gonna be a really powerful series
that we're going into.
So let's start with prayer
and then we'll really dive into it step-by-step
and then we'll have some community time afterwards.
All right.
Oh, Father, we just come before you
and we ask that you open our spiritual senses,
open our spiritual ears.
You said when you were here on the planet
that we had ears, but we didn't hear.
I'm asking right now for a supernatural opening
of our spiritual ears to hear what you, Holy Spirit,
are saying.
Speak through my mouth, Lord,
just speak through my energy, speak through any way,
my notes, any way that you wanna speak
and open our ears to hear
relevantly for where we are in this season.
Open our spiritual eyes to see.
May we never have eyes, but be blind.
Open our spiritual eyes.
Open our understanding.
I ask for a spirit of revelation to flow.
I ask for insights, sight on the inside.
I ask like Paul prayed that you'll open the eyes
of our heart, that we'll truly know how big,
how great is your love for us.
And so I ask that what you want to be said
will come forth powerfully.
I ask for a season of breakthrough
wherever there have been strongholds from childhood,
from experiences, wherever there's been strongholds
that are keeping women in bondage.
I ask in the mighty name of Jesus for that to be broken.
I ask for the captives to be set free.
I ask for the abundance that you have promised to us.
You came that we might have life
and have it to the overflow.
And so I'm asking from this day forth
for a spirit of overflow.
I'm asking for increase.
And so give us the wisdom, Lord,
to steward the substance of the earth,
to steward your resources.
And I just ask that you speak clearly
right here, right now, in Jesus' name, amen.
Well, we're gonna start talking about giving
and giving as a secret of increase,
giving as a secret of increase.
And Proverbs 11, 24 says,
give freely and become more wealthy.
Be stingy and lose everything.
Now, this is so counterculture of what we think.
We say, how can I give out of a,
if I give, I'm going to lose it.
If I have a cake and I give you a piece of the cake,
that's gonna.
be one less piece of the cake. That is only true in the world in this three dimensions. It is not
true life in the kingdom. It is not one of the kingdom principles. And so you're going to begin
to see almost an upside down kingdom that Jesus brought and have a deeper understanding around
things. And so actually, if we're holding back, and I'm going to share more about this in a second,
the whatever we're holding back, what we're not giving is what we're not receiving. It's a very
fascinating, you know, paradox that you're going to see. And so this says, give freely,
and become more wealthy, be stingy, and lose everything. Now, this is true in all areas.
It's not just money. It's giving freely of our time. It's giving freely of our love. It's giving
freely of our prayer. It's giving freely of our knowledge. It's giving freely, whatever it is,
it applies to all areas. We're not just talking money. And as I get into teaching about money,
I'm going to teach you the biblical concept of the original word, which is substance.
Go in the King James, go in any of the earlier translations, you'll see it doesn't call it
money. It doesn't call it any of those things that calls it substance. And so understanding
what is substance and how does that really play out? So I'm going to share a few principles
tonight, and then we're going to start talking about it. We're going to start opening some real
portals for increase to come through. This has really been, I'm really getting some downloads,
how important this is. And so this started coming up when we were doing the sales master classes,
and we were doing the follow-up and so on. And the idea was, where am I coming from?
And so, for example, something really practical, like how many emails do I send? You can go back
and listen to this in your portal. It was the office hours today. Am I sending too many emails?
Well, that depends where you're coming from, you see, and how you're viewing yourself. So if you're
coming from, I got to get the sale, I'm going to send more so I can get, so I can get, so I can get,
then yeah, that energy is going to come across. But if you're coming from such a place of, you know,
God has blessed me with so many tips and tools and strategies. God has given me so much wisdom.
I have so much overflow that I can't wait to share more and more. And I'm coming from this place of
how can I add value? Well, I promise if you're coming from that space, you can't send too many
emails. You're not going to get unsubscribes. In fact, I find my list is more responsive and it
grows the more that I email. But that's because I'm coming from the place of how can I add more
value? How can I add in? Yes, sales is going to happen as a natural part of it, but I'm not looking
at it as a spam machine. I'm not looking at it just sell, sell, sell. I'm coming not from the
place that I'm a taker. I'm not coming from the place, you know, that I'm sleazy. I'm not coming
from a place of any of that. And so I want you to begin to examine the big question in all of this is
where am I coming from? And if you're coming from a place of overflow and abundance, I shared today
in the call, I had a very spiritual woman, mighty woman of God. And we were in a restaurant and she
put the glass on top of a saucer and she took the pitcher of water and she started just pouring into
the cup. And pretty soon the cup was just overflowing and it was going into the saucer and
even onto the table. And she says, this is what God wants for you. She wants you so open and so
receiving. And as you're receiving, it's just, you're being filled up, you're being filled up
and you're just overflowing and everywhere you go, you're going to have that fragrance. You're
going to have that overflow. That's going to be spilling out everywhere. Now in any of that, do you
sense lack? Is the cup going dry? No, there's this overflow that is happening. And so that's the kind
of place we're coming from. We're coming from this place of abundance. So we're going to do a lot of
exercises to shift our mindset because we're programmed around lack. We're absolutely programmed
around lack. And so we're going to very much shift that. Okay. We're going to shift it so that
everything that we're doing is coming from this overflow, this abundance, this place of abundance.
give and give and I'm never going to feel depleted. Now, a lot of you are going no,
I give and give and give and I feel really depleted. A lot of people will say I'm an
over giver and it's not working well. Okay. Go back to that question again.
Where are you coming from? What is driving you? What is flowing out of you? Okay. So are you
giving out of obligation, out of religious duty? Are you giving out of lack? Because if you don't
give, you might lose. Are you giving like, where are you giving? Are you giving from this place
of I'm so abundant and I can't help but spill over and overflow? Once you do, that's going to
be one of the key questions that as we go through is where are you coming from? Because if you're
feeling depleted, you're not coming from the place of overflow and abundance. That picture
needs to fill you. And so that means that you're spending enough time in the divine feminine.
You're spending enough time open-hearted, willing to receive, willing to be filled up. And we're
going to really talk about this tonight. Willing to be filled up if you're not doing that, if
you're in the masculine. And so you're like, I got to give, I got to do, I got to do, I got to
get a goal. I got to be linear. I got to make it happen. All of that masculine stuff as a woman
who's then shutting down your divine feminine, you're going to be depleted. You're going to be
depleted and you'll crash and burn, honestly. And so I'm going to teach you how to give,
but you're giving out of your abundance because in order to do that, you have to, the divine
feminine, you have to be open. You have to be receptive. You have to be willing to receive.
Okay. So we're going to talk about all of that. So let's talk about some of the giving principles,
and then we'll kind of dig in and have some real application and some real question and answers.
So here's a few verses. I gave a lot more biblical verses than I normally do. And I could
give so, so, so many more, and we're going to, we're going to really dig in, but it just so
happens that probably the number one thing, two things that Jesus talked about the most,
the kingdom of God and money. He just talked about it all the time. So the whole Bible is just full
of stuff about substance and money and abundance. So Proverbs 3, 9 says, honor the Lord with your
substance and with the first fruits of all of your increase. So giving first thing that it does
when we give is we get very clear who or what is your source. Now it's easy to give lip service and
say, well, God is my source, but you don't really believe that you believe your job is your source.
You believe your disability income is your source. You believe your spouse is your source.
How, how do I know that? Cause if that drives up, you're freaking out,
which means you're not seeing God as your source. That's just lip service. You see? And so part of
the changing of the mindset is we have to get so clear who or what is your source. And so there's
one source, which is God, the creator of God. That was one source. There's many channels,
many channels. It might be your husband. It might be your disability. It might be a stimulus. It,
you know, in the Bible, it could be manna coming down from the sky. It could be water
coming out of a rock. It could be a gold coin coming out of a fish. There's many,
it could be someone donating their tomb. It could be the, we're going to see the women donating up
their increase. Okay. So there's many channels. You don't have to get worried about which channel
it's going to be. Because once you know that you have one source, you won't worry about the
channels. There's many, many, many channels and they'll, and they'll open up. Okay. And so one
of the ways of getting clear on that is a sense of honor. You know what? I have one source and
it's God. And I speak that all the time. People will say, you know, as I went through things,
I went through a divorce and I left with nothing. And as I came and empty on people,
how are you going to survive? How are you going to pay your bill? I would always say the same
thing. God is my source. Never have I seen the righteous forsaken nor begging for bread.
You see? And so you've got to come from that place, right? The Lord is my shepherd. I shall
not lack. It's the Lord, not my job, not my business, not my, not any single client, right?
So you don't, you don't cling. We're going to talk a lot about, you know, clinging. So honor
that honor of honoring the Lord with our substance gets in our mind really clear who
or what is our source. Deuteronomy 8, 18 says the same.
Same thing. You'll earnestly remember.
You see, what we've got here is is a remembering.
It's a re getting into our mind who or what is our source.
So remember, join back together again.
Remember the Lord, your God, for he gives you the power to get wealth.
He's the source. OK, Deuteronomy.
Oh, it looks like I gave you the same verse twice.
Forgive me for that. OK.
So number two is getting a spirit of generosity,
giving generously and giving cheerfully.
Now, here's here's here's what I know.
OK, and here's my passion.
Here's why we're going with this.
I have such a passion.
The vision, we just got done doing vision,
the vision of prosper in all things.
Right. Is to equip, to empower women
to prosper, truly prosper in every area of their life,
physically, financially, spiritually, relationally.
That's what prosper in all things is about.
It's third John to living.
So I'm so passionate that you being a prosper leader member,
you linking arms with each other, you coming as this community,
that every single person in this community is rising and prospering
because they're being transformed by the renewing of their mind,
because they're getting the skill sets,
because they're getting the action plans that we are truly prospering.
And we're going to make a difference.
And here's what I know.
I have been up. I have been down.
I have made millions. I have lost millions.
I have seen all parts of the spectrum.
I've believed in luck. I've gotten greedy.
I really when it comes to money, I've spent a lifetime studying it
and teaching it something I know very, very well. OK.
And what I know is that the very first principle
after understanding substance and your source
is you have to activate the flow.
Coming from the right place,
you have to get in a place like the Dead Sea,
where if it's only water coming in, it's a dead sea.
It stagnates. Everything in there dies.
Nothing can live. There's no abundance.
I've swam in the Dead Sea. There's not a single fish.
There's there is no abundance.
There's death. There's nothing.
So if you've only got an inlet, you got money coming in
and then it stops here like the Dead Sea.
Everything dies. Everything dries up.
It can't sustain life.
The Sea of the Galilee, on the other hand, I've been there.
I've been out there.
I've seen the Jesus boat when you're on the Sea of Galilee.
It's massive. It's like an ocean. OK.
And you've got an inlet and you've got an outlet.
And so there's flow, there's circulation, there's life.
And so it supports abundance.
It's just teeming with fish.
If you remember when Jesus told him, put the net on the other side
and he brought in, it was like breaking the nets.
They had to call in the other boats.
And there was so many fish.
I think I read that it was like three times or five times of fish
that it was sinking the boats.
OK, so it's abundance that kind of breaks the nets and sinks the boats.
It's this is how God operates.
It's abundance in the Sea of Galilee.
But you've got to first and foremost, you have to have circulation.
And what happens with the first thing that I brought up is if you don't look
at your as God is your source, the circulation gets clogged
because it comes in and you go, I got to hold on.
I can't tithe. I can't give. I can barely pay my rent.
If I paid tithe this month, I would not be able to pay my rent.
Counterintuitive. I get it.
But you've blocked the flow.
And so tithing, by the way, is not just biblical.
It goes all the way back to the Babylonians.
It was a well-known secret to wealth and abundance.
Giving 10 percent.
Why? Because it activates the flow
and it changes your mind away from a sense of lack.
So here's some principles.
Second Corinthians nine, five, nine, six and seven says, remember this.
A farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop,
but the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
You must each decide in your heart how much to give
and don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure.
For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.
Now, all of you are coming from different backgrounds.
Some of you are coming from the church world and some of you have church wounds.
And you just want to cringe when you start hearing this
because you've been manipulated and you.
been told all kinds of things.
And so whatever it is, wherever you're coming from,
we're going to grow through this together.
And we're going to seek truth more than anything
to absolutely know the truth here.
And truth is that God has built a world, a universe that
is principle-based.
It's based on laws.
The law of gravity is one law, but there are lots of laws.
And one of these here, sowing and reaping,
is one of these laws.
And it applies to every area of your life, sowing and reaping.
And so this idea of, OK, if I plant only a few seeds,
I'm going to get a very small crop.
If I plant generously, I'm going to get a generous crop.
Basic law, sowing, reaping.
This applies.
We talked about it today.
Am I sowing generously with my knowledge?
Some people, when they give emails,
when they do a master class, when they do a challenge,
they give only a little bit because they're really afraid
someone's going to steal their secrets as
if it's original to them.
Or they're afraid that maybe they
won't come to their course because they'll just
get everything and just run away with it.
And so they give very sparingly, and they reap sparingly.
They get one or two or three people in the challenge
and joining and so on.
And so this says that the choice,
or this actually uses the word decision,
which is stronger than choice, you
are choosing in your heart how much to give.
You're not being coerced.
How much to give of your time, your treasure, of your talents?
You're not being coerced, but you have to choose.
Not reluctantly, not in response to pressure,
for God loves a person who gives cheerfully.
And here it is in the Passion Translation, and I love it.
It really brings out the air make
and the original language.
Love the Passion Translation.
It'll just refresh your biblical reading.
And it says, here's my point, same verse.
A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest,
but the one who sows from a generous spirit.
Now remember, I opened with, where am I coming from?
Am I coming from, I got to do this,
or I'm not going to have a money?
Am I coming from a masculine lack, or am I coming from,
you know what, the God, my source,
owns the cattle on 1,000 hills.
He owns the gold and the silver.
If he can pull gold out of a fish's mouth
and manna out of the sky, he can meet all of my needs.
I trust him.
And in response to his lavish love on me,
I am developing, I'm growing, which by the way,
this is a habit.
Generosity is a habit.
Do you know in Buddhism that the very first thing a Buddhist
is trained in is generosity?
Did you know that?
And did you know that it's for a lot of reasons?
It breaks the spirit of lack and lust
and clinging and stinginess?
Because guess what?
Lack and lust and stinginess and holding on and clenching
our fists makes us very, very unhappy.
We know all the studies, and we'll
get into this in God, Money, and Me,
we know all the studies that your health improves
with generosity.
Of course, your income improves.
Your mental health improves.
I mean, everything changes.
Your happiness scale improves.
And so the one who, where he's coming from
is a generous spirit, which is a habit that you develop,
will reap an abundant harvest.
Let giving flow from your heart, not
from a sense of religious duty.
Some of you that are tithing because you've been programmed
and you think you're going to go to hell
or you're going to lose everything if you don't tithe,
stop, because it's the wrong reason, the wrong heart.
It's doing nothing but making you miserable.
When you're ready to tithe from a spirit, a generous spirit,
from an honoring spirit, honoring
the Lord who gives you all your substance,
from a place of absolute excitement,
then start it back up again.
But it says, if you're just doing it, don't.
Instead, let it spring up freely from the joy of giving.
Have you developed, like if the giving is not joyful,
you're not doing it right.
It should be so much fun.
It should spark so much joy.
It should be like, wow, who do I get to give today?
Like creating, and my coach challenged me in this
in years ago, it changed my life to have a daily give plan
and to out give yourself and figure out new ways to give
and keep track of it.
And it just becomes so much fun.
fun. And so the joy of giving and then it just becomes amazing. Oh, wow, the homeless
women needed Bibles. And can you donate a Bible? No, I'll donate a whole box of Bibles.
You know, and over here, you know, someone's husband died and they can't bury him. Can
you donate? Yes, you know, and over here can like it becomes the most joyous, like amazing
thing. Okay, as you break free from lack and you activate and this is what I really feel
in my heart where we are going as prosper sisters as prosper leaders. Okay, this is
where God's taking us so much abundance, so much prosperity. But first, we have to activate
the flow, we have to create circulation. We see this everywhere in Scripture. Okay, and
you'll see this in God, money and me, I don't care if she has to go borrow the the jars
and the little bit of oil that she has, she's got to activate the flow. I don't care if
she has to make her last rice cake and give it to the prophet. She's got to activate the
flow. You know, I don't care if he has to bring his lunch of five fish, we've got to
activate the flow. Okay. And so let it spring up from the joy of giving because God loves
hilarious generosity. Hilarity, that's the word use that generous giving is that it's
so good that it's hilarious. It like makes you like smile, it makes you want to dance.
It's so much fun. This will break the spirit of lack and it will take away this heaviness
and this sorrow and this sense of not enoughness and we're going to do this together. We're
going to go deeper. So for now, I'm just kind of opening the subject and I'm going to encourage
you to have a giving plan and to start challenging yourself to set goals of how much you're going
to give and to each month like out give yourself and so powerful. Second Corinthians 8-7 says
since you excel in so many ways in your in your faith, your gifted speaking, your knowledge,
your enthusiasm, your love. So here it's saying, wow, you just excel. Maybe you're a great
teacher. Maybe you're a great prophet. Maybe you're a great prayer warrior. Maybe you're
great. Whatever. I'm glad you excel in all those things. Paul says because he understood
this. He says, I want you to excel also in the gracious act of giving because everything
will change if you can break this stronghold. Of course, you all know Malachi 310. It's
probably the only place that God says test me in this or prove me in this and he says,
bring all the tithes into the storehouse and prove me now says the Lord of hosts. If you
don't do this, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing
that there shall not be room enough to receive. This is our God. He's so lavish. He's so generous.
Every time you cannot out give God. Every time you give, if you're giving from this place
of graciousness and honor and generosity and hilarity, I promise you, you're going to get
all these. I get it all the time. Surprise checks in the mail, surprise things coming that I never
expected, surprise clients, surprise money. It just comes from all over and you're just like,
oh, that's right. Three days ago or last month. I gave this exactly one week ago. I gave the,
oh, there it is. Can never out give God. It just came back tenfold. It just came back fivefold.
And so you're going to start seeing this and we're going to celebrate together. We're going to share
these stories. We're going to become one of the most generous sisterhoods. We're going to do this
together. We're going to see so much abundance start to flow. I like to call it the boomerang
effect. Everything in scripture is a giant boomerang because we're all one. So you see it
everywhere. Judge not, lest you'll be judged. Give and it'll be given unto you. On and on and
on, there's the boomerang effect. And so there it is. Give and the gifts will be given to you.
Good measure, press down, shaken together, running over. Will they pour into the pouch formed by the
bosom of your robe and used as a bag for with the measure you deal out with the measure you use when
you confer benefits on others, it'll be measured back to you. So in this particular worksheet,
I gave you lots of things to just start contemplating, start easing into this and
really journal, really meditate, really think about it. So the first thing I really love my
coach says to me all the time, life is not withholding from us. That's a capital L that's
God. That's Jesus. That's life itself. Okay. Life.
is not withholding, nothing's being held back.
When you get this concept,
nothing is being held back from you.
Life is not withholding from us.
We are withholding from life.
This will rock your world.
So I want you to,
I desire for you to take an honest assessment
what we're talking about here.
What are some of your feelings around giving?
Oh, I've tried that, it never works.
I can't possibly pay my bills, how can I give?
Or, you know, am I jaded?
Oh, here we go again.
Are you excited?
Are you challenged?
Are you resistant?
Are you afraid?
Are you inspired?
You know, this is going to start,
kind of start tuning into how you're feeling.
It's gonna tell a lot about those areas
that we wanna have breakthrough.
So be honest as you do this.
And then I wanna talk about this idea
of giving versus overgiving.
So women that say, but I have a history of overgiving
and I burned myself out.
Again, where are you coming from?
Take an honest look of why were you given?
Was it a place of obligation?
Was it force?
Was it manipulation?
Was it fear?
Was it you feeling not good enough?
So you were trying to prove that you were good enough.
Was it to be accepted?
You hope that if you just gave enough,
someone would finally give to you.
Someone would finally love you.
That was my case.
I thought that somehow the way the rules were written
in the universe, that if I just gave and gave
and gave and gave, that someday somehow magically
it would be my turn.
That's not how it works.
We're gonna talk about that.
So again, are you giving from any of those things
or a place of overflow?
I want you to do some deep introspection on that.
So life is not withholding from us.
We're withholding from life.
Whatever you feel you're missing is what you're not giving.
So I want you to honestly be real with yourself.
This is time to have a heart to heart
because to get the most out of this,
you gotta be so real, so transparent, so vulnerable.
In what ways have you been withholding from life?
How are you not showing up fully?
How are you not fully giving?
How are you holding back of yourself out of fear?
I'm not good enough, so I don't show up.
I can't give to someone because they're gonna see,
they're gonna think I'm a fraud.
I'm holding back until I get more education,
more certificates, more this until I have more money.
I'm holding back just until my husband lets me start.
I'm holding back.
Like, where have you been?
Because those areas, as you uncover them
and you unleash them, you open the flow there,
all kinds of amazing things are gonna happen.
So whatever you feel you're missing,
I just am not getting love.
Well, where are you coming from?
Are you giving love, including to yourself?
Okay, so this applies to everything.
And then as we get going,
we're going to talk about a lot.
Derek Rydell, I took his course, Awakened Wealth,
and we're gonna go into the seven ways of giving.
So we're gonna dig into what it means
to give out or give forth our time,
our treasure, our talents.
We're gonna talk about giving away.
This is gonna release the stuck energy,
the clutter, where we're pruning.
Jesus said everything that is not producing,
those branches need to be cut off.
They need to be thrown in the fire.
So what's in your life that is not producing,
not being used, and is taking up space?
And so we're gonna begin to create space for the flow.
We're gonna create space for now.
Too many people, because they're not giving away,
and their hoarding or their home
has literally become a museum of artifacts of the past.
They're so stuck in the past
that there's no room for the now or the future, okay?
And so we're gonna talk about giving away.
We're gonna talk about giving thanks.
We're gonna talk about giving up, giving in,
giving to myself, that's a big one
that we're gonna cover, forgiving.
That's a type of giving, forgiving.
And so you could just think about it right now
and start to see what type of giving.
You know, the number one thing I teach all the time
is how can I add value?
So I want you to start thinking about that.
This should be a big list of all the possible ways
you can activate giving by adding value.
Well, I can start sending inspirational social media.
Well, I could send some emails that really add value.
Well, I could teach a masterclass.
Well, I could do some Facebook lives.
Well, I could write letters to people.
I could send out cards.
I could go and visit.
I could do a live event.
I could hold a home church or a home dinner, or I could create a group
or I could put my materials and make them available.
I could create a membership.
Just brainstorm right now.
Because once you get focused on adding value, everything's going to change
because money is an exchange, right, for value.
And I'm going to close with this thought.
I read this this morning as I was reading my Bible this morning,
and I want you just to think about possibilities and what is possible.
So Luke chapter eight, one to three.
I read this today in the Passion Translation,
and it says his 12 disciples traveled with him as he did,
as did a number of women who had been healed of many illnesses
and set free from demonic power.
So he mentions 12 disciples.
And then besides the 12 disciples, there was a lot of women.
And I feel that this is the season.
We know that women are the most generous.
They're most involved in their community.
They're most willing to support families.
They're most willing.
So I believe God is doing a really big thing right now, right here
in Prosper, as we develop this radical generosity,
which, by the way, is a great book.
You could read the book Radical Generosity.
And so it says one of those women was Mary,
who was from the village of Magdala.
That's Mary Magdalene, which, by the way, if you've ever read the gospel
of Mary Magdalene, extra biblical gospel written,
she was the first apostle.
She was the apostle to the apostles.
So interesting, the role that women can play,
that that's been subdued for a while, but that's just a little side note.
So it says there was Mary that Jesus had cast out seven demons.
In other words, he had perfectly cleansed her.
Among the women were Susanna and Joanna, the wife of Chusa,
who managed King Herod's household.
Many other women who supported Jesus ministry
from their own personal finances
also traveled with him.
I'm going to leave that thought with you, what would be possible
if you had such an increase
that you took your business to six figures, seven figures, eight figures?
You had so much abundance and you had this hilarious,
generous, radical generosity coming from your heart.
What could be done in this world in this season?
Here we see some radical women.
Jesus was actually supported by all of these women.
How powerful, how powerful.
So this is just a little kind of eye opening,
little taster for you to experience this.
We're going to go deeper and deeper.
So let's spend some time right now in community time and really talk about this.
OK.
