god answers prayers

In this episode, I tell you how once again God came through for us, with an amazing story that defies explanation. I don't think anyone can deny the power of prayer at this point. How many times have I shared stories like this now? It's kind of mind-blowing! And that perfectly ties into a question I got from a listener, who asked me what kind of things we should be praying for, and if it's wrong to pray for more than just the necessary things in life that sustain us. You're going to love this episode about big, hairy, audacious prayers!

Next week, I promise we're back to imbalances, with a topic that references a lot of gambling addiction behaviors and feelings. Be sure to subscribe to listen in each Sunday!

Powerful experiences strengthened my faith to the point that I became thankful for the financial freefall. At a time when we felt like life was most uncertain, and things never seemed to work well, it was easy to miss whatever good was still left. Little did we know that in the midst of a denied prayer, we were being ushered to a dazzling and life-changing surprise.

We can’t expect God to say “yes” all the time. But there is a certain mindset we need to harness for us to master the skill of asking, identifying, and owning an answered prayer! I’m glad you’re here for this episode, as what you’re about to hear may just change your entire concept of praying.

Key Takeaways

• Intro (00:00)
• It all begins with how much you believe. Most of the time, we are not confident that He is truly going to answer our prayer (05:48)
• It’s important to believe that there is always something better for you (08:51)
• Shaken by a financial freefall last 2018, I had no idea that it was the path God laid down for me to learn (12:16)
• The instant miracle we experienced became my lesson about certainty. God never intends for us to keep falling (17:05)
• I realized that if I had never experienced the downfall, I would never have learned so much from handling money which is crucial to the Prosperity Approach. (21:20)
• Conclusions on how to effectively receive a “Yes” from God (24:14)

About 4 months ago, we were preparing for the possibility that we would lose our beloved mother to COVID. Today Mama Gene joins us on Take the Elevator to share her miracle story and to celebrate her second chance at life. She has a few messages for all especially for those who have loved ones in a nursing facility; for those who prayed for her as she was fighting for her life; and for those who were a constant presence during this crisis for her family. We are excited for you to meet her and we are absolutely sure her story will uplift and elevate you.
