WEBVTT - Pronounce Before You Possess | Joel Osteen

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

<v Speaker 2>the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

<v Speaker 2>appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

<v Speaker 1>Well, God bless you. It's great to.

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Be with you today, and I hope you'll stay connected

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 2>with us during the week through a daily podcast or

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>in person. We'd love to have you be a part

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of one of our services. Now, I let you talk

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 2>with something funny. I heard about this pastor and he

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>found a dead mule on the church grounds and he

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>called the health department and they said they couldn't pick

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>it up without authorization from the mayor. Well, the mayor

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>was known to be rude and hard to get along with,

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and when the pastor called, the mayor didn't disappoint He

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>started ranting and raving. He finally said, isn't it your

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>job to bury the dead?

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Why are you even calling me?

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>The pastor asked God to give him the right response.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>He said, yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the dead. But I always like to notify the next

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>of ken.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>First say like you mean it.

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 2>This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I have what it says I have. I can do

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 2>what it says I can do. Today I will be

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 2>taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you today about pronounce before you possess.

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>All through the scripture, God has given us incredible promises

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 2>of healing, freedom, abundance. It's important to believe the promise

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and get it down in your spirit, but believing alone

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>is not enough. What activates the promise is by speaking it.

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>By declaring what God says about you. Your words have power.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>They set things into motion, either blessing, favor, breakthroughs, or

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>sickness life.

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't do it.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>One of the last times Moses spoke to the Israelites

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 2>was in Deuteronomy eleven. He told them how God was

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>going to bring them into the Promised Land, and how

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>they'd have houses they didn't build, and all these crops

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>and livestock, amazing things. But he said there's a couple conditions.

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Number one, you must obey the Lord your God. And

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>number two, verse twenty nine, when the Lord God brings

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you into the land to possess it, you must pronounce

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 2>a blessing. He was saying, the blessing the promised land,

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the houses you didn't build.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to happen just because I promised it.

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You have to declare it.

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>You have to pronounce the blessing before you receive the blessing.

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>You have to pronounce your healing before you get weld.

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>You have to pronounce the breakthrough before you get free.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Pronounce the abundance while you're still in not enough. The

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>promise is an invitation. It's not a possession. It's not

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 2>done just because God said it.

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>It's an offer.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It's God saying, this is what I want to do

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>for you. This is what I have in store. But

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 2>you have to get your words in agreement and speak

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>what I say about you. This is where the Israelites

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>missed it. The first time they came to the Promised Land.

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>The appearance of these people. God gave them this same promise.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 2>This is your land. You're gonna have these houses.

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And these vineyards fruits.

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So big that the cluster of grapes take two people

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to carry.

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>God said, I'm gonna fight.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Your battles and defeat these enemies and give you this land.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>They had this incredible promise. All they had to do

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was get in agreement.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Lord, thank you that this is our land, that we

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>are well able to take it, that you are fighting

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>our battles. That's what activates the promise, pronouncing the blessing.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But they did just the opposite.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>They looked at the people living there and saw how

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>big they were, and instead of pronouncing a blessing, they said,

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't have a chance.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>The giants are too big.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Even though God promised in the land, even though he

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>said it's yours, they never did go in.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Not because of giants, not because of walls, but because

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of their words.

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Your words are deciding whether you inherit the promises or

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>whether you forfeit the promises. What are you saying about

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 2>what God has promised you. God said he's restoring health

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 2>back into you. The number of your days he will fulfill.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't see how I can get well. Joel.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>You should see this medical report. You're doing what they did.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>You're counseling out the promise.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>God said, you will lend and not borrow, that your

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>cup will run over.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I can't get ahead. I'd take one step forward,

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>two step backwards.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 2>That's keeping you out of your land. God said, your

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>children will be mighty in the land that.

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You see is blessed.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think my son's ever gonna get back on course.

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's wrong with it. The problem is

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 2>you're pronouncing the wrong thing. God has given you the promise.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>You may even.

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Believe it in your heart, but if you pronounce defeat,

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see defeat. And God told the Israelites

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce the blessing while the opposition was still on

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>their land. They were still outnumbered and outside the city.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>They could have thought, why are we going to pronounce

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the blessing now?

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Once we get in, once we're victorious living in those houses,

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 2>then we'll say we're blessed. But this is what faith

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 2>is all about. You have to speak what God promised

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you before you see any sign of it. You have

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce healing when the medical reports not God. You

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>have to pronounce abundance when your finances say you're barely

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it.

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>You have to speak freedom when the addiction seems strong.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 2>As ever, when you get your words in agreement with

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>what God says, angels go to work. The chain breaker

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>shows up supernatural power, provision, healing things you couldn't make happen,

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>God will make happen. Now, don't forfeit the promise by

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>speaking against what God says about you get an agreement.

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Have a report of victory, health, abundance.

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>If you'll keep pronouncing the blessing, then you will possess

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>all God has for you. Back in the Bible days,

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the way a king took new Land wasn't just by force,

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 2>but first he proclaimed.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>It was his land.

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 2>He made this public declaration to all the people, his

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>supporters and the opposition, that this was his territory. He

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't wait to conquer the city to take ownership. He

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't wait to build the infrastructure to.

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Say it was his.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>His words mark territory, his words established dominion. It's the

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>same principle with God. That's what he told the Israelite,

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this land is yours. I'm giving it to you.

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Now. You have to pronounce the blessing before you possess it,

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>not after.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 2>When you see what you're believing for when the trouble

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 2>turns around. When you get that promotion you or before

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you go into the land, you need to announce this

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>is your land. Your words are marking territory. Your words

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>are setting boundaries. You are announcing not just to people

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>who are for you, but you are announcing to the enemy.

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>You are on my territory and you are not welcome here.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You are drawing that line in the sand. You are

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>exercising your authority. It's like you're putting a stake in

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the ground with the flag of your country, establishing ownership.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>When you say healing is mind.

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 2>You're marking that territory, abundance belongs to me, salvation for

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.239
<v Speaker 2>my family, good relationships, successful.

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Business, bright future.

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>That's not just being positive, hoping, wishing like kings back

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>in their day. You're making a public death that that

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>land belongs to you. You have to mark the land

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>with your words before you mark it with your feet.

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>When you speak that promise in the unseen realm, boundaries

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>are established forces of darkness.

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Pay attention.

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>You are setting your flag, putting on notice that you

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>are coming for the territory the most time God has

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>promised you. Now, let's start marking some new territory. God

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 2>told the people of Israel, You've gone around this mountain

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>long enough, same thing, over and over forty years, complaining,

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>we can't do it.

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>It's hot out of here.

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 2>It's never gonna change. Oh, it's time to take new ground.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>It starts with our words.

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Lord.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank you that you promised to do

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>exceeding abundantly above and beyond what I ask or imagine.

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You're setting your stake in new territory for God to

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>exceed your expectations, to show out in your life, to

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>surprise you with his goodness.

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you have children that are off course. It's been

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that way a long.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Time, and it's easy to settle in that land. Just

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 2>keep going around the same mountain. Well, Joel, I'm making it.

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 2>God's been faithful. Yes, it's good to be grateful, But

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 2>how about stretching your faith. God, you promised that as

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you that my child will fulfill his purpose, Holy Spirit.

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you that you're helping him do what he can't

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 2>do on his own. That's marking new territory. That's announcing

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to the enemy that you can't stay on that land.

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 2>That's God's property, and I'm coming for you.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>With your words, you're.

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Establishing dominion, you're setting boundaries, You're making that proclamation. We're

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 2>not just in the natural but in the unseen realm.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>You're taking authority, declaring what God promised will come to

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>pas and it's not up to you to make it

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>all happen. God said, I want you to obey me,

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 2>pronounce the blessing. Declare what I said about you.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>That's when God will do what you can't do. He'll

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>make ways where you don't.

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.839
<v Speaker 2>See away with your words, your mark in territory.

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, pay attention to what you're marking. Well, I've had

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 1>this problem.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>So long, I don't think I'll ever meet the right person.

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Everybody in my family struggles with an addiction, or nobody.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Can get ahead. We'll never have enough.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 2>That's like the Israelites going around that same mountain. Giants

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>are too big, always gonna be this way. That group

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>never did go in the next time they were at

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>the promised land. Forty years later, God told their children,

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 2>in effect, don't be like your parents. Don't defeat yourself

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>with your words. You have to pronounce the blessing. Not

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>pronounce the problem that's gonna.

0:10:58.280 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Keep you circling.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you start pronouncing your healing, pronouncing your abundance,

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>your children, honoring God, your business, excelling your future filled with.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Peace, joy and new levels. You can't wait for it

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to happen. You have to mark the territory. You have

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to put your flag in the ground, so to speak.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 2>This land belongs to me. God, you promised me healing.

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I believe healing is mine. God you said I have

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a sound mind, free from worry, anxiety, confusion. Lord, I

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>thank you for your peace. God you said I'd be

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the happy.

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Mother of children. Experts say we.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Can't have a baby, But God, I thank you that

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>a child is on the way, that I will conceive

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>and give birth. That's how you possess the land. Speak

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the blessing, declare what God promised. That's marking your territory.

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 2>We have a little dog at home named Evie. She's

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a shizoo and she weighs about ten pounds, the nicest,

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>friendliest dog ever. When we take her for a walk,

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>every thirty feet or so, she'll stop and mark her territory.

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>That smell tells the other dogs that they don't belong there.

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>This is her street. She's very small, but.

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't know her size. She thinks she's a great Dane.

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.599
<v Speaker 2>In her mind, she's a big, powerful dog.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Not afraid of anything.

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Another dog will pass ten times her size. She'll go

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>right up to it, growling, snarling, barking. Have to hold

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 2>that least so tight to not let her get away.

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 2>She's not afraid of the other dog, but I am

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 2>don't get him mad at us. But Evie is letting

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that other dog know that he doesn't belong there. She's

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 2>already marked her territory, set her flag in the ground.

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>He better get out of their fast or there's going

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to be trouble. She marks her territory a different way.

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 2>We mark our territory with our words. When you speak

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 2>God's promises, you are establishing ownership.

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's good to believe the promise.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 2>But the scripture says, the spirit of faith is in

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:07.599
<v Speaker 2>our words.

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Words give life to what you're believing.

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>God has given us all these incredible promises like the Israelites.

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 2>He's promised us the land, the healing, the freedom, the family.

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>But here's where we can miss it. Silence leaves the

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 2>territory unclaimed. Silence is not neutral. Silence is surrender. You

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 2>have to pronounce the promise before you possess it. When

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you speak what God says that gives life to your faith,

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 2>you are marking territory. You are setting boundaries, establishing ownership.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 2>But I wonder if you're leaving territory unclaimed because you're

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 2>not speaking it. Are you surrendering land that belongs to

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 2>you promises of healing, freedom, abundance because you haven't spoken

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the blessing. If you don't pronounce it, you won't possess it.

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>And it's good to believe that your family will come

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>to know the Lord. Good to stay in faith, be positive.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 2>But when you say Lord, I want to thank you

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 2>that as for me and my house, we will.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Serve the Lord. That takes it to a new level.

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Just imagine you're putting your stake in the ground, claiming this.

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Territory belongs to me.

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>It's good to believe that you're blessed and wish good

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>things will happen.

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>But when you say, Father, thank you.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>That I am blessed, that your favor surrounds me like

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a shield. Surely goodness and mercy are following me, I

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen her, or imagine what you have in store.

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 2>That's putting a stake in the ground for a bright future, for.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Promotion, increase, or abundance.

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps you struggle with your self worth, feeling like you're

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 2>not enough insecure.

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>You do your best to think the right thoughts, and that's.

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 2>A great start, But you need to take this next

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>step and pronounce the blessing.

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>God has promised you freedom, confidence.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Value, but you have to declare it. Something happens when

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>you speak. Forces of darkness are broken, strongholds come down.

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Every morning. You need to say, Father, thank you that

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you created me in your own image.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 2>That you crown me with your favor, that I am

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>a masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made, valuable, talented, worthy, a

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>prize possession. That's exercising your authority. That's marking your territory,

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 2>setting new boundaries, letting the enemy know that that land

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>belongs to you. That's when God will fight for you.

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to defeat the enemy, he's already defeated.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>God will go before you and clear the path.

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 2>He'll make the wrong things, He'll move them out of

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 2>your way so you can possess the land. This is

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 2>what David did. Seventeen years old. He heard Goliath haunting

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the Israelites. They were on one side of the mountain,

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the Philistines on the other. These two armies were in

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a standoff. Well, Goliath would come out twice a day

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and shout threats and insults to the people of Israel.

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 2>He was a giant that stood over nine feet tall,

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the champion of their army, the.

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Most skilled and talented warrior. They had the land.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>God promised you will probably have some giants on it.

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Opposition will inhabit your land. It's easy to back down that.

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You have to mark that territory. You have to take

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 2>ownership of it, and God will defeat your enemies. You

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have to fight Goliath by yourself. The sickness, the addiction,

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the struggle.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>It may be too much for you. You can't do

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>it in your own strength. But that's not your part.

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Your part is to pronounce.

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 2>The blessing, declare what God says, and once you put

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:57.359
<v Speaker 2>your state down.

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>God will go to work. All the Israeli are was

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>afraid when Goliath came out.

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 2>They ran and hid and thought, oh man, there's no

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 2>way he's too big. As long as you're silent, you're

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>surrendering territory.

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Giants will occupy your land.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Not because they're stronger, bigger, but because you haven't marked

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>your territory, you have an established ownership.

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 1>This is not something that God is going to do.

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 1>You have to do it. Faith is activated through our words.

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.439
<v Speaker 2>One morning, Goliath came out making all this noise.

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 1>David didn't run, he didn't hide. He said, Goliath, you come.

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Against me with a sword and a shield, but I

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 2>come against you in the name of the Lord God

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of Israel. David didn't just believe the promise. He didn't

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 2>just hope God was with him.

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>He spoke the blessing.

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>He went on to say, this day I will defeat

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you and feed your head to the birds of the air.

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't just trash talk. That was ratorial talk. David

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>was marking his territory. He was establishing ownership, saying this

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 2>land belongs to us. You are not welcome here. He

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 2>went up to him, slung that rock and hit Goliath

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>in the forehead and knocked him to the ground. That's

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 2>recorded in First Samuel seventeen, verse forty nine. But the

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.440
<v Speaker 2>real victory happened four verses earlier, in verse forty five,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.479
<v Speaker 2>when David said I will defeat you. He had to

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 2>pronounce the victory before he could possess the victory.

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Had David gone in there and thought, I don't know, man,

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 1>he's big. Look at his armor. He's got all this experience.

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 2>If David had talked defeat, we wouldn't be talking about

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>him today. If he had not marked his territory with

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 2>his words, if he'd stayed silent, he would have never

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 2>defeated Goliath.

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 1>And here's the key. Goliath wasn't just a giant.

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 2>He was a squatter living on the land that belonged

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 2>to the Israelites, taking their inheritance.

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>All the Israeli army was quiet. They were afraid.

0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Silence gives permission for squatters to stay on your land.

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>When we stay silent, we surrender the territory. On the

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>way to your destiny. There will be some golias on

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>your property, giants inhabiting places that God has promised you.

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Imagine squatters on your land, sickness, depression, generational dysfunction on

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 2>your property, enjoying your house, eating from your garden. It's

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 2>time to serve some eviction notices. You have to tell

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 2>depression you are not welcome on my property. Tell shame insecurity,

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 2>not good enough, you don't belong here. Your time is up. Sickness,

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 2>you can't stay on my land.

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I will live and not die.

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Dysfunction, you have no right here. I will break generational

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 2>limitations and I will start generational blessings.

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Or how about, giant.

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Of addiction, You have overstayed your welcome. This is a

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>new day, whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed,

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming into freedom, into wholeness, into victory. You don't

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 2>evict giants with your power, your might, your thoughts.

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>You evictim with your words.

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 2>David said, this day the Lord will deliver you into

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 2>my hands. That's where he won the battle. Giants don't

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.679
<v Speaker 2>leave because you don't like them. They leave when you

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 2>evict them. Eviction happens when you speak the promises, when

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>you declare what God says about you.

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Goliath had been out.

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 2>There for forty days before David showed up and evicted him.

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Had it not been for David, he may have lived

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>there forty years. He may have permanently kept them from

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 2>the Promised land. Why don't you be the David in

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 2>your family. Why don't you be the one to rise

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 2>up and set new standards when you see things that

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 2>are limiting you, keeping you from freedom, wholeness, abundance.

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You know the secret. You don't have to accept it.

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 1>A joy that's just who we are.

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 2>This addiction, depression, mediocrity, this is all I've known. God

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>has you hearing this because you're the one to change it.

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 2>If you will pronounce the blessing, you can break bondages

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 2>of the past and possess the new levels that belong

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to you. The enemy would love for you to stay silent.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't want you to take your ground. He knows

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 2>he's on your territory, living off of what belongs to you.

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You need to send some addiction notices. Your words carry power.

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 2>When you declare what God says about you, Angels are dispatched,

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:51.920
<v Speaker 2>forces of darkness are broken.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 1>God will take your.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Slingshots, so to speak, and you'll bring down giants that

0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>were much bigger. You're not doing this on your own.

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not just up to you to defeat Goliath. Your

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 2>part is to pronounce the blessing, put your flag in

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the ground and say this family belongs to God.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I claim the.

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Healing, the freedom, the peace, the salvation, the victory.

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>You have to mark the land with your words before.

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 2>You will mark it with your feet. Don't stay silent.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Silence is surrendered. Well, Joel, I don't think it could

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 2>work out. I got this opposition, this trouble.

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>At work, this sickness. That's what held the first group

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 1>of Israelites back.

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 2>They were next door to the promised land, but they complained,

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 2>focused on the opposition. I believe many of you are

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 2>next door to your promised land. You are close to

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a breakthrough, close to healing, to freedom, to new levels,

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 2>but there.

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Are giants on your land. It's easy to retreat. I

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>don't see how it can happen. You don't have to

0:22:59.359 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>figure it out.

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to have all the answers. Just get

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 2>in agreement with God and speak what.

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>He says about you.

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:11.360
<v Speaker 2>That's when giants fall, that's when chains break, That's when

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the right people show up. That's when you have a

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.880
<v Speaker 2>baby when you were told you couldn't. That's when you're

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>healed from a serious illness, like my mother. Are you

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 2>putting any stakes in the ground, are you establishing any boundaries?

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Are you marking your territory with your words. The enemy

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't respond to our thoughts. He's not moved by what

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>we're thinking. He responds to our words. That's where the

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 2>power is. Think about Jesus. He didn't just go around

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 2>thinking good thoughts and people got healed. He spoke to

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the situation, the demon possessed man.

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 1>He said, come out of him. He spoke to the

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 1>blind man, be healed. He spoke to the storm, peace

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>be stilled.

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 2>He spoke to Lazarus, come forth out of that grave.

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Al has to be vocalized.

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 1>A silent believer is a powerless believer.

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to speak the blessing before you see the blessing,

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 2>mark the territory.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Before you live in the territory.

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 2>When we were trying to acquire this building, the former

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Compact Center, Victoria and I would come up at night

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>when no games were going on, no events, when the

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.919
<v Speaker 2>security guard didn't run us all. We would walk around

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the building and thank God for making a way and

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 2>thinking he was opening doors we couldn't open, and thank

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 2>him that he was bringing the right people.

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>The natural didn't seem possible.

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 2>All the odds were against us, but we put our

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 2>stakes down. We marked our territory with our words. We said, God,

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 2>we believe you've given us this building to spread the

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Gospel around the world, to bring hope to people, and

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you can do things that we can't do.

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>We don't see away, but Lord, you have.

0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 2>The final say, and we know you being for us

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:01.120
<v Speaker 2>is more than us being against us.

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So God, our trust is in you. We weren't just hoping,

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>We weren't just wishing.

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 2>We were setting boundaries, establishing ownership and evicting squatters off

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 2>our land. Not people, but forces that were trying to

0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 2>keep us back. God calls things to fall into place.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 2>As twenty three years ago, here we are today, still

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 2>going strong. But what God has put in your heart,

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the dreams, the promises, what you're believing for, you have

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.199
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce it before you'll see it. Don't stay silent.

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't just wish. Silence is surrendered. Silence is letting Goliath stay.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Be a David.

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Speak to those giants, not in your authority, but in

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the authority of the.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Most High God.

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Depression, I will defeat you cancer. You cannot stay on

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 2>this ground. Healing belongs here. Lack and debt that may

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:57.679
<v Speaker 2>have been how I was raised. But this is a

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>new day. I live under the open windows of Heaven.

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Start putting your stakes down. Tell the enemy he doesn't

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>belong on your land mark your territory with your words.

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 2>When you do that, you are setting boundaries, establishing ownership.

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I believe and declare what God promised the Israelites.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>He's promising you. As you pronounce it, you're going to

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>possess it.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Giants are about to fall, walls about to come down.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 1>The right people show up.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Healing, promotion, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny.

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>In Jesus's name. If you receive it, Can you say amen?

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 2>the Lord of your life.

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Would you pray with me?

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Just say, Lord, Jesus, repent of my sins, Come into

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 2>my heart.

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I make you my Lord and savior.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.400
<v Speaker 2>If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

0:26:54.400 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>born again and we'd love to send you some free

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.600

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 3>with purpose, happiness and joy.

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.680
