Renewing Prayer

Father Mother God, I invite the Holy Spirit to take charge of my journey to prosperity. I let go of all that has gone before and I now begin anew. I am free and forgiven for all the mistakes I have made in the past. I open myself now to expressing a brand new magnificence. I open myself to the infinite possibilities that are mine to choose. …

Renewing Prayer

I open myself to receiving all the goodness I can have and to all the greatness I can achieve. I invite the Holy Spirit to heal my body, to harmonize my emotions, to renew my mind, to fill me now with a mighty faith that empowers me and allows me to commit to be all that I can be. And so it is. And so we let it be.

Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity

You must tithe 10 percent of all that you receive to the person, place or institution where you have received your spiritual food.

You must set clear-cut goals.

You must forgive everyone all the time, especially yourself.

You must seek, discover and follow your divine purpose.

Third Law: Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the most effective way of restoring inner harmony and balance.! ! ! ! ! ~ Charles Fillmore

8

Why Forgive?

Forgiveness is something we do for ourselves.

If we refuse to forgive, we are clinging to self-defeating feelings such as guilt, shame, blame, hurt, and resentments, and when we do this, we cannot feel truly worthy of having the best God can give us

We take ourselves out of the flow of life.

9

Power of Forgiveness

Peace of mind

Health & wholeness

Sense of worth

Flow of prosperity

10

Peace of Mind

Harboring a grudge completely blocks our ability to have peace of mind

Negative thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors affect our mental and physical health, our success and our self worth.

11

Exercise

Choose a partner. Think of a grudge you are holding. This could be with yourself.

Choose a forgiveness affirmation.

Take turns standing up and stating your affirmation.

Ask for feedback from your partner.

12

Affirm

I allow myself to feel forgiven and to move forward in life.

13

Take Responsibility

Taking responsibility gives you freedom

Recognize that some part of you that is wanting to heal called in this experience.

Appreciate the experience. “”God, thats great!”

14

Emotional Health

One giant step toward emotional health is to realize that no one can hurt us unless we allow them to hurt us.

Ask: Am I taking more than my 100% responsibility?

Ask: What is me required this feeling of hurt to emerge?

15

Exercise

Choose a partner.

I will give you instructions in a step by step fashion to complete this exercise.

16

Power of Thought

The world you live in is the exact record of your thoughts. If you do not like the world you live in, then you do not like your thoughts. An uplifted mind is a magnet for all good things of the universe to hasten to you. Whereas, a depressed, anxious, critical, resentful state of mind becomes a magnet for trouble to fly to you. The choice is up to you.

~Catherine Ponder

17

Prevailing theme

Most people have a theme of: I am not enough.

Side kick: There is not enough.

This prevailing premise of “not enough-ness” successfully cripples the lives of people who would otherwise be buoyant and passionate.

18

Create a New Story

Get in small groups of three or four.

Share some part of your life where you feel as if you are not enough.

Rewrite your story with the help of your group mates.

See how you can let your magnificent self shine through in your new story.

Matthew 18:21-22

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, when my fellow believer sins against me, how many times must I forgive him? Should I forgive him as many as seven times?"  

22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, you must forgive him more than seven times. You must forgive him even if he wrongs you seventy times seven.
