I had the privilege of attending the UNRESTRICTED Conference hosted by Dr. Latanya Moore last weekend in Dallas, TX. My biggest takeaway was I cannot neglect my prayer life or time spent in God’s presence. The work done internally through prayer is what produces the results we seek externally. My second crucial takeaway was the importance of constantly coming into agreement with God’s word. As Kingdom Entrepreneurs, it’s essential to agree with God’s word through prayer.

In today’s episode, I share 3 scriptures you need to pray regularly as a Kingdom Entrepreneur to ensure your business aligns with God's agenda.

When you agree with God’s word in prayer, you trigger a divine process to fulfill that word.

During this conversation, I discuss:

1. Isaiah 6:10, Matthew 13:15

Key Takeaways and Lessons:

• Guard against spiritual blindness through prayer

Tune in to learn how these scriptures can transform your business and spiritual life.
