WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.000 When nothing is certain, anything is possible. 2 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.000 I'm going to say that again, because I can't tell if there's a delay in the camera. 3 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:23.000 When nothing is certain, anything is possible. 4 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.000 That is a quote by Mandy Hale. 5 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:33.000 Hi, Brenda Byers, founder of Prosper in All Things and Prosper by Design Coach Certification Program. 6 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:45.000 And today in the light of craziness, fear, panic, the wide range of emotions that I see all around me, 7 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.000 I decided to bring forth a short video with some positive thoughts, 8 00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:00.000 some prayers, and some things you can do to have this really be actually a time of opportunity 9 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:08.000 and not one of discouragement or fear or anxiety or any of the low frequency emotions. 10 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.000 So I'm going to give you three positive thoughts from scripture, 11 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.000 and I'm going to give you three things that you can do, and I'm going to close with prayer. 12 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:27.000 By the way, if you would like more encouragement, you can always subscribe, prosperinallthings.com. 13 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.000 I do a weekly faith-based newsletter, and the last two have been about fear. 14 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000 You're going to want to get a reprint of those. 15 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000 So let's jump right into it. 16 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:47.000 The thing that jumped out at me this morning in prayer was a scripture found in Revelation 19.10, 17 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:53.000 and it says the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 18 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:01.000 And where my mind went with that is the power of us sharing testimonies, 19 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.000 the power that actually turns it into a prophecy. 20 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.000 It releases the word. It releases power. It releases change. 21 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.000 So when we hear others' testimony, our faith goes up. 22 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.000 When we share our testimony, it releases power. 23 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:29.000 And I thought back of a time when a woman that had been coming to my weekly Bible study 24 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.000 had been in a bicycle accident, and she had mangled her ankle. 25 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.000 And the infection and the problems had spread neurologically up her leg. 26 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.000 There was all kinds of fear and uncertainty. 27 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.000 She hadn't been able to walk in a long time, and she reached out, and she said, 28 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.000 Would you pray? 29 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.000 Well, it happened. I had several of the kids down at my house visiting from Bethel, 30 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:04.000 and, of course, they walk in the supernatural and miraculous as easy as, you know, 31 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000 taking a drink of water. 32 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.000 And so I said, Let's go over. Let's pray for her. 33 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000 And so we went over to her house, and we gathered around. 34 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.000 And interestingly enough, the first thing that one of the Bethel kids did 35 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.000 is he showed some videos from Bethel of healings that had happened when he was up there. 36 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.000 And I thought, You know, this is brilliant, because what was he doing? 37 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.000 He was stirring up her faith to begin to say, 38 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.000 Wow, if God could do this for this and this and this person, 39 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.000 maybe he could do it for me. 40 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.000 And so what happens, and that's number two. 41 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.000 So the first thing that I share with you is, you know, share our testimony. 42 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:50.000 And they naturally did the second thing, which is stir up the gifts inside, 43 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.000 stir up the faith inside of you. 44 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.000 That's found in 2 Timothy 1, 6 and 7. 45 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.000 So they did that, and I could see her faith rising. 46 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000 And, you know, you could look at it from a scientific standpoint, 47 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.000 a spiritual standpoint, however you want. 48 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.000 When the vibration, when the frequency of what we're believing and thinking 49 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.000 and holding to is high, our entire state changes. 50 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:25.000 And what begins to happen is we begin to create an atmosphere for miracles. 51 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000 We begin to open a pathway for miracles to happen. 52 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.000 And also what begins to happen is that this faith and these gifts that are 53 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.000 stirred up drives out fear. 54 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.000 See, I want you to remember something. 55 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.000 You could write this down. 56 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.000 Faith and fear cannot coexist. 57 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.000 Write that down. 58 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.000 Maybe even put it in the comments below. 59 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.000 Faith and fear cannot coexist. 60 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.000 Well, we know that from another scripture, that perfect love casts fear out the door. 61 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.040 and fear will not coexist as well and so what I began to see is that all that she 62 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.120 had been fearing and all the negative reports she'd gotten from the doctors 63 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:18.160 and all the anxiety began to dissipate and then something really amazing 64 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:25.680 happened as we were holding her leg in our hands right before my very eyes this 65 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:32.160 ankle was swollen I don't know three four five times black and blue and 66 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:37.240 yellow and red and every color and ankle should not have been it looked terrible 67 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:43.600 and as we prayed as her faith was released as we all touched and agreed I 68 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:49.840 watched that ankle just go down to normal size right before my eyes I've 69 00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:52.640 been privileged I believe the supernatural is natural I've been 70 00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:56.800 privileged to see a lot of it be part of a lot of it and so I watched this and 71 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.120 I got a call later that night and she called me from the grocery store she was 72 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.640 grocery shopping for the first time in I don't know weeks maybe a month and she 73 00:06:08.640 --> 00:06:13.280 was so excited and she showed up at the next Bible study over the weeks to come 74 00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:19.000 and she was in cute little heels little hand sandals with heels and later she 75 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.680 went back to running and biking and racing why do I share that story because 76 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:31.520 right now you are going to have a choice you're going to have a choice what you 77 00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:39.680 allow in your gates in your eye gates your ear gates what you allow to fill 78 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:46.200 you because what I know as a coach is that what you focus on expands what you 79 00:06:46.200 --> 00:06:52.680 focus on expands so what's the action you can take what what do you want to do 80 00:06:52.680 --> 00:07:00.280 with all of this we've covered a couple verses number one revelation 1910 that 81 00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:06.400 the spirit of prophecy our testimony is the spirit of prophecy so number one 82 00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:12.320 when you share your testimony you're prophesying you are speaking into your 83 00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:17.040 future you're speaking into other people's future so let's counter some of 84 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.200 this fear I'm not saying don't be prepared I'm not saying that this is not 85 00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:27.480 a real situation I'm not saying that the markets aren't crashing crashing hey I 86 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:34.000 watched I watched my numbers drop in half in my investments I get it I get it 87 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.680 I'm not saying it's not real I am saying what we do during this time is what's 88 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.680 going to distinguish how we come through it so number one from that verse 89 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:50.760 is start sharing your testimony write it down in fact I'm going to ask you to be 90 00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:56.800 bold and write it below this video in this post share something that God has 91 00:07:56.800

encouraging they're positive they're raising you up they're giving you 101 00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:54.320 positive suggestions and ways to go you know a third verse is found in the 102 00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.160 passion translation James 1 3 it says when our faith is tested and that's 103 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:03.800 going to happen right now there's going to be some testing when our faith is 104 00:09:03.800 --> 00:09:10.720 tested it stirs up the power within so number three number one share your 105 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:16.320 testimony number two guard your gates number three look
