What if your relationship with money is blocking your blessings?

Our relationship with money impacts our ability to fulfill our purpose, so it's time to break free of poverty thinking and embrace God's abundance.

• God isn't a genie who grants financial wishes upon command – He gives resources and awakens desires
• Breaking free from a poverty mindset means lifting our heads to see the magnitude of the God we serve
• The plans of the diligent lead to abundance – we need concrete financial plans, not hasty decisions
• Sit down and count the cost before making financial commitments – make a real budget for August
• Seek divine wisdom for financial decisions – God gives generously when we ask
• Stop waiting for money to magically appear – change your mindset, create a plan, and act with wisdom
• When building a business, maintain your day job until business income equals or exceeds employment income
• Remember you are royal heirs with divine access to resources – reject the belief that financial struggles are more spiritual

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the channel. Today we will be making a very simple and easy cake recipe. Please subscribe to the channel and hit the bell icon to get notifications when we upload new videos. Thank you, let's get started. First we need to make a no-transcript. So I'm coming on a lo-fi this morning, um, just to change things up a little bit and also set our minds right, having us be a little bit more calm and centered before we kick into this Monday. And also it's the last week in July, so we got stuff to talk about, all right. So I want to do something. I mean, I don't know why I'm having, I'm having a hard time with this, this topic, but we're going to dive into it. And then, as as always, there's always incredible, incredible confirmation when I'm hesitant to talk about something. So I'm sitting in our church yesterday and minding my business, as they say, and and there was I was going to say an ad, but there was an announcement that came up in our church I go to Perimeter here in Georgia that they are actually going to be talking about this subject called Journey to Generosity. So they're going to be talking about money in the month of August, and I was like what? That's what I'm doing. So we're calling today Money Moves or Missteps.

Speaker 1:

Our intention today is to pray about some things, asking for wisdom. A lot of times when we go to the Lord, we're asking him for financial blessings. But it's not like you know, god isn't like a genie. Where you go and you pray and you're like bless me, and then the money just pops up. Um, he gives you the resources, um, sometimes the, even awakening the desire, and I'll talk about that a little bit, if you let me um around being financially blessed. I think there's so many folks we've got it wrong Uh, I, I, uh, and. And.

Speaker 1:

As I was thinking about this since last Thursday, because I was even on the prayer phone line, asking for prayer for wisdom, for how to talk about money in a way that it doesn't come off cringy, it doesn't come off like oh gosh, there she goes right. But we have to have the right relationship with money. I know a lot of Christians, a lot of folks, a lot of folks will run to money is the root of all evil, and it is true. If your intention is to get money and your focus is to consume and just consume wealth and that's your focus you don't care about people, you don't care about how you get it, you know, or you have such a disdain, you have a poverty mindset where there's such lack in your talking, there's such lack in your thinking, and then you start to become bitter with people who might have money. You know, who does she think she is, and you don't need all that and you don't need to be doing all that and everybody can't do that. So there's so many, so many ways to pull on this topic, which is again, like I said, why I'm going to share a couple of just personal things with me and the intention here is to encourage all of us to take a little bit different look at money this week and then, if, if the Lord leads me, then we'll keep talking about it in August, totally separate and totally different topic that we're talking about on the Thursday podcast which, as a quick reminder, y'all can find the replays for the teaching, the Monday prayer, even older Tuesday, tuesday night prayers. You can still find the word still stands. All right, um, three quick things before we jump, before we jump further and go into prayer. It's just a quick reminder that you can find now. Remember, tuesday night we shifted to testimony. Tuesday, it's all booked out now for the rest of this year.

Speaker 1:

However, please, I want you to reach out to Makisha so she can start booking 2026. All right, all of us have powerful testimony. If you're one of those people who've been blessed and we've all been blessed you've been going to every conference, you've been going to every uh church, uh, prayer, breakfast. You've been doing all the things um, it's time for you to share your testimony. What have you learned? And? Um, how have you grown and how is the lord blessing you? And again, you don't have to come with a complete. You know, we're not looking for people who just quote made it. We're looking for people who are also still going through it. All of us are still going through it. Okay, and so I invite you to reach out to Makisha. If you're watching from the Come Out of the Wilderness prayer group, you can just tag her. If you're watching on the Facebook streets, you can tag the dumping ground, or you can find Makisha, you can tag me.

Speaker 1:

But it's really important that we get this lineup started for 2026. All right, we want to be intentional with this. We want this to be successful, but we also want to make sure that we're giving visibility to folks, because this is really going to help us give a testimony, a platform, if you will. So that's the first thing. Second thing is just a quick reminder on Thursday's, beginning in August, as we're going back to school, so that's next week y'all. Thursday we'll shift to and we'll consolidate to 7 pm phone line prayer, so Three Praying Sisters will only be at 7 pm Eastern, and I think this is just a much better way. It works with all of our schedules. Meeting at 1 o'clock during the workday is really tough y'all. So consolidating and having us meet up at 7 pm on that phone line so it's open again to everybody is free, and I think that this is going to help bless all of us. And then the last thing is just a reminder that as I'm sharing and teaching, I'm encouraging you to also listen to what the Lord is showing you in your life.

Speaker 1:

This weekend I was thinking about just how big God is, and I think we've gotten so used to treating God like he's a bestie that this weekend I was just sitting back, like when you feel really just pause and think about the God of all, the creator of the universe, he who is everywhere and nowhere. At the same time. When I say nowhere, I mean like a blank space, not that he's not evident. When you think about, like, even if you try to wrap your mind around it, even if you try to envision it in any way and I was really trying this weekend to wrap my mind around this incredible God, like if you watch, like I watch, I like movies or like shows, that show I even.

Speaker 1:

I enjoy learning about Greek mythology, not because I believe in Greek gods. I enjoy learning about Greek mythology, not because I believe in Greek gods, but when I listen or read about that it kind of puts a perspective. If you think about the god of thunder and even those gods are still not as powerful as the god because they were created, right, you know what I'm saying. Even if you try to do it level by level by level, you will be mind blown. I also think about that same Yahweh, that same creator of heavens and earth, that same eternal being, that same incredible force and power that has the world in the palm of his hand. That same incredible Yahweh is my Abba, that's my father, right? And so the things that I do, the breath that I take, even the lifespan that I have, like I'm still connected to him and I just want to remind us every now and then.

Speaker 1:

We got to lift our head out of our troubles and look up and see how incredible, amazing and awesome this God is that we serve and y'all, and so when you do that, your perspective might be a little bit different, right? So, anyway, I say all that to say that you, you might feel like what we're going to talk about when it comes to money and how we position for that. I, absolutely I don't think that we have anything. Nothing is impossible to me because of the God I serve. When you lift your head up and you start to understand and you ask God to give you understanding of who this incredible, eternal being, y'all, again, we, I think we get so, um, comfortable when we talk about even our lord, our savior, jesus christ, our brother.

Speaker 1:

Right, when we speak about him. We just think about the jesus in the bible, right, we think about the jesus at easter, we think about the jesus on the cross, but you're not thinking about him, he who is all, he who was before everything, he who reigns. You're not thinking about the Holy Spirit as this incredible light that, when he is in you, that his features come out of your mouth, your eyes, your ears, you start to have more faith, more joy, more love, more self-control, just by the nature of his light, like we have to lift our heads up and see. You know again just the magnitude of the God we serve. And so it's important that you have that perspective, because if you don't, when we start talking about money, the first thing that's going to come to you is you ain't got it right.

Speaker 1:

The first thing that will come to some of you well, my family's always been poor, or we used to have money and then we lost it. I'm just fine where I am, I don't need nothing, right? You start your thoughts, you'll start to convince yourself into lack. You'll start to look at things that's counter to the great God you serve. So that is going to require a mind shift for all of us. All, right, if you don't lift your head up and acknowledge the mighty, incredible, big God that we serve, you'll start to become comfortable with lack. You'll start to become comfortable with not having access. You'll start becoming comfortable with being broke. Right, that's not our father y'all, we are royalty. I mean, if we truly understood the magnitude of the God we serve, we would see things differently.

Speaker 1:

So I'm going to challenge us today to see things just a little bit, even if it's just for the next 15 minutes, y'all, just to challenge ourselves to see things a little bit differently. And again, it's not that we're praying for wealth, right, but we are praying for resources and we need it through finance, and it's okay to ask God. Listen, if you don't need it, then you don't pray this prayer, but if you're like me and you need it, then we're going to pray this. Okay, we're going to ask our Father for what we need, and if you don't, if that's not your thing, that's all right. Okay, but for those of us who need it, we're going to go ahead and ask our great, incredible father.

Speaker 1:

The three scriptures that I want to share with you before we go into prayer the first is Proverbs 21, verse five. These are all a Shelly versions. Okay, esv, the plans of the diligent, the diligent. Now I want y'all again be wise to these words. Okay, cause nothing I'm going to say to you is going to say you sit back and things just show up. Nothing I'm going to say to you is going to you just sit back, imagine and manifest. It requires something. It requires something on our part and it says the plans of the diligent lead surely, to abundance.

Speaker 1:

The plans meaning you have to have a plan. So a lot of us are stuck because we don't have a plan, we don't have a financial plan, we don't have a financial plan, we don't have a job plan. You might have the desire to start a business, but don't leave your day job to start that business. Start that business when you have enough money in your account that equates to your day job. That's when you leave your day job. Right, stop jumping. All right, have a plan.

Speaker 1:

What does your plan look like for the rest of this month? Or maybe you want to kick something off in the month of August, like for me. I've written down the two big buys that I'm going to have, my personal big buys outside of paying my bills and putting money aside. The two big buys I'm going to have in the month of August and that's all I'm'm gonna do for the month of august. Just two things each paycheck, understand.

Speaker 1:

So what is the plan? What is your plan? Right? And it says lead surely, to abundance. It means that our focus is going to be what we do, the seeds we plant we're going to focus on leading it says surely to abundance. Well, abundance means that you're also being wise with what you have in your hands. So we're going to ask the Lord to give us wisdom so that whatever plans we have is going to lead to abundance. Amen. And it says but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. So we're not going to just rush into things. Some of us have things in our Amazon cart. We're going to need to move that to our wishlist. Okay, right, we're not going to rush into any financial decisions this month. Right, we're going to slow down just a little bit. And that does include travel. That does include conferences. This is conference season. That's why I keep saying this right, conferences, where you go, you pay your money and every year you go and you're still going for the same breakthrough. Okay, we're going to put a pause on that. Okay, so I'm sorry for y'all who are listening, who already put the money out, but we're going to be a little bit more cautious about where we put the money In the month of August, even where you maybe eat out a little bit less.

Speaker 1:

Don't starve yourself, right, don't starve yourself from the things that you need. A lot of us have invested a lot of money in self-care. But even with that, is there something we can do to invest our money in a different way so we can lead to abundance? We don't want to go in September in the way that we started August. We want to have an abundant September. Okay, all right. Luke 14, 28,.

Speaker 1:

It says for which of you desiring to build a tower. So if you're desiring to build anything a tower or a business, or maybe you're trying to build up your savings account, your checking account, whatever it is right. Desiring to build a tower, maybe trying to pay off or do renovation in your house, pay off your bills, kids about to go back to school, y'all. So now we have to put money there. It says for which of you desiring to build a tower does not first sit down. Sit down and count the cost, budget y'all, whether he has enough to complete it. So we're going to sit down and we're going to look at where we're going to spend our coins for the month of August. Right, we're going to consider it whether or not we can afford some of the things that we're attempting to do, again that we're changing our mindset.

Speaker 1:

And then James 1.5 now brings it back to the Lord. So see, first we started with having the mindset, the plans of the diligence. So we have to change our mindset. We have to actually start thinking about having actual plans about how we're going to manage our finances this week leading into August. The second step is that we're going to sit down now and we're going to consider, before we start throwing money and building things and buying things, we're going to sit down and count the cost. We're going to make a budget right. First thing is mindset. Second thing is budget. The third thing is we come back to our father.

Speaker 1:

Now, this is why I started that We've got to understand we serve a mighty, mighty, big God. Okay, nothing is impossible to God, nothing is impossible. So if nothing is impossible to God, nothing is impossible to me, nothing is impossible to you. All right, there is zero limitation on us this month. We thank you, lord, that you're going to give us wisdom in this specific area. The word says if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, ask your father, who gives what Generously to all, without reproach. He's not going to look at you and say I can't believe you're asking me for that. Okay, it says it will be given. So we have to believe. But you got to have a plan, you got to have a budget and then you got to have wisdom. So those are the three areas that we're leaning into as we're closing out July. Like I said, it starts with our mindset. We got to remember who we serve.

Speaker 1:

Father God, I thank you that you brought us here this morning, and for every family under the sound of my voice, as we are all in need of something, that you are the only resource we truly have. We worship your awesome name this morning and we cry out to you as your children, father, we know that we are your children because we have received and we believe we have received the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and our King, and that everyone isn't your child. We're not all children of God, but those who you have marked, those who have received and believed because of the suffering, because of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done. We are the inheritors, lord. And so, lord, I ask that for those specific or your family members, as we come to you this morning, we give you honor and praise and we worship you. We thank you. You are a mighty big God. There is nothing impossible for you. So we're asking you to unlock our own mindsets, the way we think, for those who have lived lives of poverty, who have been told time and time again that they can't achieve anything, for those who have been told that they just need to sit down and be content. Lord God, we're blowing off the doors of that thinking this morning because we are inheritors and, lord God, even as we are inheritors in heaven, we're asking, just as we inherit in the spirit, that we'll inherit in the natural and that we will create behaviors over this week. That's going to set us up to be successful the entire month of August and change our path.

Speaker 1:

Lord God, I pray for every one of us as we sit down to write plans, as we change our mindset and we start to plan for what we want to see with our finance. Lord, you have given us much and so, lord God, I thank you for those who you've given jobs to right now, that they will take care of the paychecks and the finances that you've given them For business owners and new business owners who are just starting, that you help them to, lord God, to finance and forecast. Lord, god, lord, we ask that you will today give us wisdom, lord, as we sit down and write out a budget for our families, that we'll have the right mindset as we're doing, that we're not lacking in anything, but we know that we will need to sacrifice something. So, father God, if it's through tithes or offerings, whatever it is that you have put on our hearts to do, to be obedient with the money that you have given us. Father, I pray for every family that's preparing this week to send their children back to school. I also pray for the teachers who are filling out their classroom supply lists.

Speaker 1:

Lord God, many of them don't have the money. So, lord, I ask that this week, there will be an overflow in every one of our household. Those who are waiting for a loan to come through, lord God, those who are waiting for bills to be paid, they're waiting, lord God, for help from you. Our help only comes from you, lord. So I ask that you will open heaven's door for us this morning and that you will bless each and every family under the sound of my voice, wherever they stand in need of this morning, lord God, that you'll fill their coppers with gold, father God, I ask that you will give them the resources, lord God, so that they will earn the money they need and beyond the need, lord God, bless them. Need, lord God. Bless them so much, lord God. Bless them in such overflow, lord God, that they will end up blessing the very people around them, not just blessing our household.

Speaker 1:

Lord God, today I ask, lord God, that you will cease and stop any attack that was launched against our homes, against our cars, against our mindset, against our bodies, bodies, everything. Lord God, as we travel, I pray, holy Spirit, that you will give us the power to speak the thing and let the thing be done in Jesus name, and we want your power, lord God, is only through you, holy Spirit. So we're asking that you will give us even self-control this month as we, as we, as we come in into alignment, what you want us to do with our finances and when we move into September. We'll move into September with high balances in our checking and saving account. We won't have any loss, we will have gain, and that you would have trained us this season so that we can move into a season of abundance.

Speaker 1:

Lord God, bless us and protect us from anyone. Any evil thing, any scheme that has been made, any marketing scheme, anything that anyone sets out, whether it's through influencers or even at the very church, lord God, lord God, where thieves have been running through your temples. Lord God, anyone who tries to steal the finances. If our finances are leaking out of our hands, it's like for those who, every time they get a paycheck, it's like sand the money just falls through their hands that you will shut that down now. Whatever contract they have signed for generations before them with the evil one that has been snatching and taking their money, lord God, I ask that you will shut it down now, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1:

Father, we want to walk in abundance this month and in the month of September and, as we keep moving forward, one foot before the other, that you'll create the right mindset and behaviors to teach us self-control so we won't just shop and buy everything. And anytime we think, lord God, let it be a thought, anytime we think about spending money on something frivolous this week or this month, or even today, lord God, every time that thought pops up that you will remind us that hey, hey, self-control. If it's not something we need, we don't need, we shouldn't get it. This month, this is a month that we're going to plant seeds with our finances. Oh God, we're going to show that, lord God, and that you will bless us in the harvest time.

Speaker 1:

Lord, as we're moving into this fall, we're understanding that seasonal change also means that we have to shift. Lord God, we need to be where your grace is. So if you have put us someplace and you are no longer there, I ask, lord God, that you show us when to move and how to move. Father, I thank you for every family under the sound of my voice, that they will see tremendous turnaround if they are obedient to your voice. So speak louder to us, holy Spirit, so we can hear you through the noise this month, and we bless your holy name. Father, we thank you. We receive all and every single thing that heaven has for us.

Speaker 1:

We don't believe in limitations, because of the mighty God that we serve. We don't even believe in time Time isn't even real because of the God we serve. So we ask that you will even turn the clocks around. Turn the clocks back, lord God, father, for those of us who need an accelerated blessing in our finances, that you'll skip us to the front of the line, those who are waiting for a word on a job or on a loan, lord God, that you will do that for your children, those, lord God, who seek you out. We are seeking you out, lord God. Break the mindset of debt that has been hanging over our heads, break the spirit of poverty off of us. Lord God, father, we are inheritors of your kingdom and so we are asking for access. Lord God, father, we are inheritors of your kingdom and so we're asking for access, lord God, and breakthrough this month, lord God, in our finances and turn things around. We bless your holy name, father.

Speaker 1:

Bless our homes so that there won't be any issues, no electrical issues, nothing with plumbing, no issues at all. That you'll bring peace, lord God, I even ask that you bless us into a season of renovation in our homes and remodeling and making our homes beautiful and peaceful and welcoming. Why? Because we want to be the portal to heaven. We want to be the place where people can come and sit and be under your glory, lord God, and be under your glory, lord God. So, even blessing every family under my voice, bless us, each and every one of us, so that we can restore and renovate our homes, lord God, so they'll be peaceful and comfortable, so we can draw more men, we can come together we can congregate, Lord God, even, lord God.

Speaker 1:

Even in that we thank you, lord God. We thank you that this is a month of generosity in our spirits, lord God. Even in that we thank you, lord God. We thank you that this is a month of generosity in our spirits, lord God, that we're generous with our time and our treasure and our talent, and we thank you and all these things we call out, we stand in agreement what you're gonna do, jesus Christ, I thank you for standing on our behalf and being our intercessor and our brother, and we thank you for, as you, you are the first. As you, you are the first born and even though you are the first born, you have allowed us to step into your, your very blessings. So we're receiving that in the natural today, that in the natural in today, on this day, that we will see your generous spirit. Thank you, lord, that we will see that, walking through our great your grace, walking through our lives we bless your name and we thank you, lord we will see that, walking through our great your grace, walking through our lives, we bless your name and we thank you, lord. Amen, amen, amen, all right, y'all, now we're declaring because we're going to agree with everything I just said, and if the lord puts something else on your heart, just go ahead and start. Start, start declaring this day.

Speaker 1:

There is no weapon formed against us that can prosper we. We're the righteousness of God, and you got to remember that. Favor does surround us as a shield. So does divine protection. It surrounds us as a shield, and we are in the right place at the right time. We can't be defeated or destroyed, and every tongue that accuses you and me, and every tongue that attacks you and me, I condemn with my words Thank you, father, god, that you have marked me to be able to speak on your behalf.

Speaker 1:

I don't care what my title is. I don't need a title, I don't need a five-fold, I don't want any of that. I just want access and power to the kingdom of God, and that's what you have given me. And, in obedience to what you have said, I release it now over every person that's listening, with an ear to hear Lord God. So I thank you, god, because this is our heritage, this is our right as a child of God.

Speaker 1:

We're made in his image, we're made with his dominion and authority, and he says and I'm not broke and authority living in me, coming forth out of my spirit through my words. Thank you, holy Spirit, that you're declaring today that Satan has zero power over our life and every weapon he uses in our finances will be defeated. And that fear of being broke and that fear of poverty and that fear of lack and that fear of the future, none of that, that fear is cast out. It's God's love that's making our faith work and therefore we can't fail. And his word, god's word, can't fail. We're made up of his word. It's in our DNA. We're made in his image, we're after his likeness. Thank you, god. With the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of his words, he speaks over our lives. Amen.

Speaker 1:

Therefore, by the blood of Jesus, we can dwell in this awesome secret place of the most high. We abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Thank you, god, that your shadow will even pass by our homes this month. That no harm will come near our tent. That this will be, as we're ending July and going into August, a tremendous month of blessing on blessing, on blessing, on blessing, as you mark, as you mark our homes, as you walk by. That no evil come near our tent, no harm come near our tent, that this is a month of deliverance and breakthrough. This is a month of turnaround in our finances. Lord, god, thank you God. You are our refuge and you're our fortress and we trust you, lord. We trust you, lord, to come through for us, because you are a mighty, big God. We trust you and we love you. Lord. Amen, so says the Lord, so declares the Lord, and we are in agreement. Thank you God. Thank you Lord. We're in agreement.

Speaker 1:

What heaven says concerning every person under the sound of my voice Thank you God, thank you Lord, amen. This very simple prayer I say every week. Y'all, if you want to be born again or if you just want to reconfirm your relationship with our Savior, you just say amen. If you're in agreement. Lord Jesus, I believe, come on, we got to believe. I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross to rescue me from sin and death and to restore me to the Father. And I choose now to turn from my sins and my self-centeredness and every part of my life that does not please you. And I choose you and I give myself to you and I receive your forgiveness and ask you to take your rightful place in my life. How is my Savior and my Lord? Come, reign in my heart and fill me with your love and your life and restore me, jesus. Thank you, god, in Jesus' name, and, if you agree, you just say amen, amen, amen and amen. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord.

Speaker 1:

We're just going to say thank you, lord, thank you for what you have done, thank you for the doors that you have opened, thank you for breaking through these stale, depressive, boring mindsets. You are the God of all. You created beauty, you created all of it, and we've been so consumed by what we've been told by other folks. Lord God, we want to hear from you. We want to hear from you, lord God, specifically to each and every one of us. I don't want to know what you told John and Paul. I want to know what you got for me to speak, to be directly. So we thank you that you are speaking to us directly.

Speaker 1:

I thank you for tapping on our shoulder this morning and saying hey, it's time to look at your finance. It's time to change your mindset about your money. It's time to stop listening to broke folks. It's time to look at your finance. It's time to change your mindset about your money. It's time to stop listening to broke folks. It's time to come out of poverty thinking. It's time to move forward. I'm not calling you to worship money, but you need this resource to live and in order for you to do what you want to do for your children and your future grandchildren, you got to make some changes.

Speaker 1:

Today. It's time for you to understand that you're a king's kid, as Makisha says Amen. It's time for you to understand your position and your place If you want to do things for people in this here world, in your community, even in your own families. You got to have a different relationship with the finances. We got to have a plan and a mindset. We've got to stop waiting for bad things to happen and start thanking you for the good things that's coming, that there is better and better and better.

Speaker 1:

Your word says, surely goodness and mercy follows us. So I thank you, god, that goodness and mercy follows us for the rest of this day, for the rest of this week, for the rest of this month, for the rest of this year, for the rest of our lives. That we will see, lord, god, your goodness and your mercy, not just in our jobs, but in our families and in our finance. That you'll show us, lord God, how to plant the seeds, the very small seeds, even if it's five dollars. That you'll show us where to spend that money. That, as we'll put that money, where you tell us, as we plant that seed, that you will cause it to multiply 10,000 times, lord God, that you will bless us in this month, everything that we do with our hands will be productive and successful.

Speaker 1:

Lord God, Whether we're typing, lord God, whether we're building, lord God, whatever it is we do with our hands, anything that we do with our minds and our thoughts, this month, lord God, whatever it is we do with our hands, anything that we do with our minds and our thoughts this month, lord God, it will be aligned to building out. Lord God, there won't be any fear, there won't be any lack. We won't be looking around at our circumstances and saying, well, my family never could, well, maybe we're the ones to take them to the next level. So for those, lord God, you have marked for this time, to take our families out of poverty, to come out of the poverty mindset, to always looking for lack, always having an excuse for not doing something, that you will change and shift things around, lord God. We are not going back to the old versions of ourselves. We have been delivered. You have delivered us and you have delivered us.

Speaker 1:

From this mindset, father, I pray a special ask now that those who will come into finances as things start to change, that they will not lose themselves to it, that then money doesn't become the root of evil for them, that they won't use this money to hurt or harm others or to oppress those around them. As we're planting the seeds, we know that there will be a great harvest, not just for ourselves and our families, but also for our communities. So I'm asking, lord God, for those, that you remind them, as you did in Deuteronomy when you told us of our blessings. Lord God, you also warned us that we needed to come back to you and give you honor and praise, that we don't waste the blessings that you give us. So, father, I thank you for the speaking engagements and all of the opportunities and all of the mentorship programs and the coaching things and all the things.

Speaker 1:

I thank you for the steady. I thank you for those who are keeping a steady employment and they're happy with that. They're happy, they're content with the portion of you giving them a job. And so, while they are on the job, Lord God, even though they might have desire for more, that you will, lord God, you will show them when and how to move so that they don't move off of a job just because someone is telling them that they can make money quick if they start their own. There's so many who have stumbled into that decision, who've made the wrong call, because they were irritated on the job.

Speaker 1:

So I ask, lord God, that you will even speak to the heart of those who have stepped into that, who jumped too quickly, lord God, that you'll put them back into a job so that they can work that appointment until the appointed time, and that you will show them when there is a real release, because you're not going to put us in a season of lack. That's not you, you're not that father, you're not an unkind father, and so we bless you and I ask that you will correct the mindset, that you will give a door open, even as contractors, or God, give them the opportunity, even as contractors, to take on a part-time assignment and while they're working on that assignment, then they can build the business out. You know what I'm saying, lord, so that they won't have any lack in this season. They won't have doubt, they won't be scrounging for finances. We don't want to have to beg, steal or borrow money from nobody, lord God. So I ask that you will, lord God, you will speak to each and every person who has that mindset, lord God. Thank you, lord God, that you have given us the seeds. And we want to be, lord God, we want to be businessmen and women, we want to be entrepreneurs, all of those things, lord God. But we want to do it in alignment with what you say and how you say it, and then the time that you say it and where you send us, lord God, we want to do it in order, we want to do it in lockstep with you. So I ask you, god, that you will give them all the downloads for every plan and every budget and every person they need to speak to, and that, lord God, we give even all of those things back to you and with your stamp, lord God, with your goodness and your mercy, we can carry things out.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, God, for hearing our cry this morning. You're an amazing Father. Thank you that you're the God of all, god of everything, and yet you hear our cry. What an awesome Father you are. We are nothing but specks of dust. You are galaxies, galaxies away, and yet you still hear my cry. You know my voice, so I thank you for registering my voice. I thank you for the angels that you have sent, that you have planted in my home. You're planted in this ministry, that you have planted on the job. I thank you for the angels you have assigned to me that they will be activated by the words that I have said, according to your will, holy Spirit, that they will go forth now and give us and minister unto us everything that I have said. You will confirm it, lord God. You confirm it, holy Spirit, according to your will. But you will activate those angels that they will go out and do everything that I have spoken according to your will. But you will activate those angels that they will go out and do everything that I have spoken according to your word. Father, I am just your daughter, I am just Shelly, and I ask for nothing more than for them to witness your power this month in this area. Thank you, lord God, for that. Thank you for granting us your audience, thank you for hearing our cry. You're such a good father, and we thank you. Amen, amen, amen, amen.

Speaker 1:

All right, y'all, it's a quick and dirty Monday, so we're going right into benediction number 6, 24 to 26.

Speaker 1:

It says the Lord bless you and keep you.

Speaker 1:

The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, and the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. And, lord, I can't wait to see what that looks like. I can't wait to see what that looks like, that countenance, because in my head, in my eyes, in my imagination, it's this beautiful garment that you wrap on us or wrap around us, your countenance, and it just falls on us like rain and I, just I'm so grateful to you for even glimpses of your glory and I continue to ask that you give all of us that, those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Oh God, we thank you that you'll bless our hands and our feet, our mouths, anything that we say, that we bless you, lord, we keep you in our hearts, lord, we'll cause your face to shine upon us and turn your ears towards us and hear our cries as we lift up our voices and give us peace. Amen, all right, I'm going to stop sharing. Here we go. Let me stop recording.
