WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.080
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I come before

00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:06.059
you today, believing that you are still God.

00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:10.119
You are God over what I understand. You are God

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.759
over what I do not understand. You are God over

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.980
what is moving. You are God over what appears

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:21.039
stuck. You are God over what I can change. And

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.760
you remain God over everything beyond my control.

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.379
Therefore, I declare that my present circumstances

00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:33.799
are not sovereign. God is sovereign. What I see

00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.380
does not have the final word. What I hear does

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.619
not have the final word. What people have decided

00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:44.100
does not have the final word. What circumstances

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.939
are predicting does not have the final word.

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.700
God has the final word. And therefore, today

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:55.960
I stand upon two words, but God. When everything

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.719
says it is impossible but God When the situation

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.620
appears finished but God when every natural door

00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:08.659
appears closed but God When I cannot understand

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.480
how anything could change but God When human

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.560
strength has reached its limit but God When I

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:21.819
have done everything I know to do but God I declare

00:01:21.819 --> 00:01:25.260
that as long as God remains God The story can

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:28.620
still change. Father, where something needs to

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:32.560
turn according to your will, turn it. Where something

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.379
needs to move, move it. Where something needs

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:40.239
to break, break it. Where something needs to

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.140
open, open it. Where something needs to close,

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:47.900
close it. Where truth needs to come into the

00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:51.519
light, bring it into the light. Where confusion

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.670
has taken over. Bring clarity. Where disorder

00:01:55.670 --> 00:01:59.750
has entered, establish your order. Where discouragement

00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:03.790
has settled, restore hope. Where fear has been

00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:08.250
speaking, let faith rise again. Where tears have

00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:13.150
been planted. Father, in your time, bring a harvest

00:02:13.150 --> 00:02:16.669
of joy. I declare that what looks like defeat

00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:19.969
today does not have the authority to announce

00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:23.699
my tomorrow. My current chapter is not my entire

00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:26.939
story. My present struggle is not my identity.

00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:30.659
My disappointment is not my destiny. My delay

00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:34.039
is not automatically denial. My midnight is not

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.680
proof that mourning has been canceled. And what

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.659
appears buried is not beyond the resurrection

00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:43.479
power of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I will believe

00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.620
again. I will pray again. I will worship again.

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.199
I will expect again. I will rise again. I will

00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.819
dream again. I will move forward again. Because

00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:59.360
I refuse to allow one difficult chapter to convince

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.900
me that God has finished writing. I surrender

00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:07.900
every outcome into your hands. I refuse to manipulate

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:11.180
what I have already placed before you. I refuse

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:14.580
to force doors you have not opened. I refuse

00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:18.199
to chase what you are asking me to release. I

00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.439
refuse to become consumed with proving myself.

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.900
I refuse to allow revenge to enter my heart.

00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:28.800
I refuse to become bitter because someone misunderstood

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.219
me. I refuse to fight spiritual battles with

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.960
weapons of the flesh. You are my defender. You

00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.020
are my vindicator. You are my refuge. You are

00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:44.099
my god. So where I need to speak, give me wisdom

00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:47.860
to speak. Where I need to act, give me courage

00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:51.520
to act, where I need to wait, give me strength

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.860
to wait, where I need to walk away, give me grace

00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:58.979
to release, and where I have done everything

00:03:58.979 --> 00:04:03.139
you required of me. Teach me how to stand still

00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:06.500
without becoming afraid, because I do not have

00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:10.379
to manufacture the reversal. God knows how to

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:14.919
turn what needs to turn. Therefore, I declare.

00:04:15.259 --> 00:04:18.560
What was intended to discourage me will not steal

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.839
my faith. What was intended to silence me will

00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.540
not steal my worship. What was intended to make

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:29.819
me bitter will not poison my heart. What was

00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:33.000
intended to make me quit will not determine my

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.220
future. What was intended to convince me that

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:39.459
God had abandoned me will become another reason

00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:44.500
for me to testify he never left me. I declare

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:47.300
that evil intentions do not possess sovereign

00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:51.100
authority over my destiny. Human plans are not

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:54.879
greater than divine purpose. Opposition is not

00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.439
greater than divine authority. Closed doors are

00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.920
not greater than divine wisdom. And no circumstance

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.959
is powerful enough to remove Almighty God from

00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.220
His throne. So I will not magnify the battle

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:11.560
above my God. I will not magnify the problem

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.040
above my God. I will not magnify the opposition

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.480
above my God. I will not magnify what people

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.500
said above what God has spoken. My God is greater.

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.600
My God is faithful. My God is sovereign. My God

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.500
is able. And my God is still writing. Turn mourning

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:34.100
into dancing according to your will. Turn confusion

00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:38.319
into clarity. Turn fear into faith. Turn weakness

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.220
into dependence upon you. Turn wounds into wisdom.

00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.560
Turn tears into testimony Turn closed chapters

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.759
into lessons Turn wilderness seasons into preparation

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.240
Turn what tried to pull me away from you Into

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.759
something that drives me deeper into your presence

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:02.060
And if the situation itself does not change immediately

00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:06.860
Change me while I am inside it Make my faith

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:11.379
stronger Make my prayer deeper Make my discernment

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:15.459
sharper Make my heart softer. Make my dependence

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:19.019
upon you greater. Make my worship more sincere.

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.860
Make Jesus greater in me than he was before the

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:26.360
battle began. Because divine reversal is not

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.899
only about changing what is around me. Sometimes

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:33.819
the greatest reversal happens inside me. I entered

00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:37.720
afraid, but I will come out trusting. I entered

00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.459
wounded, but I will come out healed. I entered

00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:45.220
depending upon myself, but I will come out depending

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:51.199
upon God. I entered asking, why me? But I will

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.779
come out declaring, God was with me. And today,

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.399
I release yesterday. I will not spend tomorrow

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.620
trying to recreate yesterday. If you restore

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:06.319
what was lost, Father, I will thank you. If you

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.689
open something new, I will follow you. If you

00:07:09.689 --> 00:07:13.430
close a chapter permanently, I will trust you.

00:07:13.910 --> 00:07:16.110
If your reversal looks different from what I

00:07:16.110 --> 00:07:20.029
imagined, I will still trust you. Because I do

00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:23.709
not need you to return me to where I was. I need

00:07:23.709 --> 00:07:27.230
you to take me where you are going. So I declare,

00:07:28.350 --> 00:07:31.730
yesterday will not control tomorrow. Past failure

00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:35.050
will not control tomorrow. Past rejection will

00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:38.170
not control tomorrow. Past disappointment will

00:07:38.170 --> 00:07:41.589
not control tomorrow. Past betrayal will not

00:07:41.589 --> 00:07:45.089
control tomorrow. Past mistakes will not control

00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:48.829
tomorrow. Past fear will not control tomorrow.

00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:53.449
Jesus Christ is Lord over my tomorrow. And therefore,

00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:57.029
I speak over every place in my life where hopelessness

00:07:57.029 --> 00:08:01.250
has whispered, it is over. No, God has the final

00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:05.430
word. Where fear says, nothing can change. I

00:08:05.430 --> 00:08:09.600
answer, Where disappointment says, stop expecting.

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.100
I answer, but God. Where circumstances say, there

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:18.720
is no way. I answer, but God. Where my own understanding

00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.759
says, I cannot see how. I answer, I do not need

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.540
to know how. I know who and where the enemy tries

00:08:26.540 --> 00:08:29.040
to use yesterday as evidence against tomorrow.

00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:34.980
I declare, God is still writing. I declare that

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:38.919
my tears will not be wasted, my prayers will

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.179
not be wasted, my waiting will not be wasted,

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:46.639
my obedience will not be wasted, my faithfulness

00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.960
will not be wasted, my wilderness will not be

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.539
wasted, my midnight will not be wasted, and even

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:58.500
the things I cannot understand today I surrender

00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:01.820
into the hands of the God who redeems. Father,

00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:05.250
Redeem what can be redeemed. Restore what you

00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:08.570
desire to restore. Remove what must be removed.

00:09:09.149 --> 00:09:12.610
Expose what must be exposed. Heal what must be

00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:16.490
healed. Close what must remain closed. Open what

00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:20.509
no man can shut. And lead me forward, not backward,

00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:24.450
forward, into your purpose, into your will, into

00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:27.570
greater faith, into deeper prayer, into stronger

00:09:27.570 --> 00:09:31.210
obedience, into greater intimacy with Jesus Christ.

00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:35.779
And I declare today the battle can change. The

00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:38.960
direction can change. The atmosphere can change.

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.320
The door can open. The answer can come. The tears

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.820
can become songs. The prisoner can become free.

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:50.600
The broken can become restored. The discouraged

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.139
can rise again. The weary can receive strength

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:58.100
again. The one who almost stopped believing can

00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:01.879
believe again. Because my hope is not in circumstances

00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.240
changing. My hope is in the God who never changes.

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:11.500
And even if I am standing in Friday, Sunday still

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:14.620
belongs to God. Even if I am walking through

00:10:14.620 --> 00:10:18.679
midnight, morning still belongs to God. Even

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.340
if I cannot see the road, the road still belongs

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:25.899
to God. Even if I cannot understand the chapter,

00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.059
the book still belongs to God. and even when

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:33.679
I cannot see his hand, I will trust his heart.

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.039
Therefore, I will not write the ending. I will

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.460
not bury my expectation. I will not surrender

00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:44.820
my worship. I will not allow fear to become my

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.899
prophet. I will not put a period where God may

00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:52.080
have placed a comma. I will keep believing because

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.360
there may still be a but God waiting in my next

00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.360
chapter. So today I declare, my story belongs

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.559
to God. My future belongs to God. My family belongs

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.399
to God. My purpose belongs to God. My calling

00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.740
belongs to God. My unanswered questions belong

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:16.539
to God. My victories belong to God. And even

00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:19.620
my battles, I place them in the hands of God.

00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:23.500
Turn what you desire to turn. Stop what you desire

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:27.269
to stop. Move what you desire to move. and change

00:11:27.269 --> 00:11:31.350
in me whatever must change. I surrender, I trust,

00:11:31.909 --> 00:11:36.830
I believe, I expect, and I worship, because you

00:11:36.830 --> 00:11:39.629
were God before the battle. You are God in the

00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:42.669
battle, and you will still be God after the battle.

00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:46.870
Therefore, I declare, the enemy may have an intention,

00:11:48.029 --> 00:11:51.309
but God, circumstances may have a prediction,

00:11:52.470 --> 00:11:56.250
but God, people may have their plans, but God.

00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:00.580
The situation may look finished, but God, and

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:03.940
as long as God is still God, the story can still

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:07.779
change. I declare it. I believe it. I receive

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:11.500
it by faith, in the mighty, sovereign, victorious

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:15.820
resurrection name of Jesus Christ. Amen, amen,

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.879
and amen. Hallelujah.
