In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I come before
you today, believing that you are still God.
You are God over what I understand. You are God
over what I do not understand. You are God over
what is moving. You are God over what appears
stuck. You are God over what I can change. And
you remain God over everything beyond my control.
Therefore, I declare that my present circumstances
are not sovereign. God is sovereign. What I see
does not have the final word. What I hear does
not have the final word. What people have decided
does not have the final word. What circumstances
are predicting does not have the final word.
God has the final word. And therefore, today
I stand upon two words, but God. When everything
says it is impossible but God When the situation
appears finished but God when every natural door
appears closed but God When I cannot understand
how anything could change but God When human
strength has reached its limit but God When I
have done everything I know to do but God I declare
that as long as God remains God The story can
still change. Father, where something needs to
turn according to your will, turn it. Where something
needs to move, move it. Where something needs
to break, break it. Where something needs to
open, open it. Where something needs to close,
close it. Where truth needs to come into the
light, bring it into the light. Where confusion
has taken over. Bring clarity. Where disorder
has entered, establish your order. Where discouragement
has settled, restore hope. Where fear has been
speaking, let faith rise again. Where tears have
been planted. Father, in your time, bring a harvest
of joy. I declare that what looks like defeat
today does not have the authority to announce
my tomorrow. My current chapter is not my entire
story. My present struggle is not my identity.
My disappointment is not my destiny. My delay
is not automatically denial. My midnight is not
proof that mourning has been canceled. And what
appears buried is not beyond the resurrection
power of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I will believe
again. I will pray again. I will worship again.
I will expect again. I will rise again. I will
dream again. I will move forward again. Because
I refuse to allow one difficult chapter to convince
me that God has finished writing. I surrender
every outcome into your hands. I refuse to manipulate
what I have already placed before you. I refuse
to force doors you have not opened. I refuse
to chase what you are asking me to release. I
refuse to become consumed with proving myself.
I refuse to allow revenge to enter my heart.
I refuse to become bitter because someone misunderstood
me. I refuse to fight spiritual battles with
weapons of the flesh. You are my defender. You
are my vindicator. You are my refuge. You are
my god. So where I need to speak, give me wisdom
to speak. Where I need to act, give me courage
to act, where I need to wait, give me strength
to wait, where I need to walk away, give me grace
to release, and where I have done everything
you required of me. Teach me how to stand still
without becoming afraid, because I do not have
to manufacture the reversal. God knows how to
turn what needs to turn. Therefore, I declare.
What was intended to discourage me will not steal
my faith. What was intended to silence me will
not steal my worship. What was intended to make
me bitter will not poison my heart. What was
intended to make me quit will not determine my
future. What was intended to convince me that
God had abandoned me will become another reason
for me to testify he never left me. I declare
that evil intentions do not possess sovereign
authority over my destiny. Human plans are not
greater than divine purpose. Opposition is not
greater than divine authority. Closed doors are
not greater than divine wisdom. And no circumstance
is powerful enough to remove Almighty God from
His throne. So I will not magnify the battle
above my God. I will not magnify the problem
above my God. I will not magnify the opposition
above my God. I will not magnify what people
said above what God has spoken. My God is greater.
My God is faithful. My God is sovereign. My God
is able. And my God is still writing. Turn mourning
into dancing according to your will. Turn confusion
into clarity. Turn fear into faith. Turn weakness
into dependence upon you. Turn wounds into wisdom.
Turn tears into testimony Turn closed chapters
into lessons Turn wilderness seasons into preparation
Turn what tried to pull me away from you Into
something that drives me deeper into your presence
And if the situation itself does not change immediately
Change me while I am inside it Make my faith
stronger Make my prayer deeper Make my discernment
sharper Make my heart softer. Make my dependence
upon you greater. Make my worship more sincere.
Make Jesus greater in me than he was before the
battle began. Because divine reversal is not
only about changing what is around me. Sometimes
the greatest reversal happens inside me. I entered
afraid, but I will come out trusting. I entered
wounded, but I will come out healed. I entered
depending upon myself, but I will come out depending
upon God. I entered asking, why me? But I will
come out declaring, God was with me. And today,
I release yesterday. I will not spend tomorrow
trying to recreate yesterday. If you restore
what was lost, Father, I will thank you. If you
open something new, I will follow you. If you
close a chapter permanently, I will trust you.
If your reversal looks different from what I
imagined, I will still trust you. Because I do
not need you to return me to where I was. I need
you to take me where you are going. So I declare,
yesterday will not control tomorrow. Past failure
will not control tomorrow. Past rejection will
not control tomorrow. Past disappointment will
not control tomorrow. Past betrayal will not
control tomorrow. Past mistakes will not control
tomorrow. Past fear will not control tomorrow.
Jesus Christ is Lord over my tomorrow. And therefore,
I speak over every place in my life where hopelessness
has whispered, it is over. No, God has the final
word. Where fear says, nothing can change. I
answer, Where disappointment says, stop expecting.
I answer, but God. Where circumstances say, there
is no way. I answer, but God. Where my own understanding
says, I cannot see how. I answer, I do not need
to know how. I know who and where the enemy tries
to use yesterday as evidence against tomorrow.
I declare, God is still writing. I declare that
my tears will not be wasted, my prayers will
not be wasted, my waiting will not be wasted,
my obedience will not be wasted, my faithfulness
will not be wasted, my wilderness will not be
wasted, my midnight will not be wasted, and even
the things I cannot understand today I surrender
into the hands of the God who redeems. Father,
Redeem what can be redeemed. Restore what you
desire to restore. Remove what must be removed.
Expose what must be exposed. Heal what must be
healed. Close what must remain closed. Open what
no man can shut. And lead me forward, not backward,
forward, into your purpose, into your will, into
greater faith, into deeper prayer, into stronger
obedience, into greater intimacy with Jesus Christ.
And I declare today the battle can change. The
direction can change. The atmosphere can change.
The door can open. The answer can come. The tears
can become songs. The prisoner can become free.
The broken can become restored. The discouraged
can rise again. The weary can receive strength
again. The one who almost stopped believing can
believe again. Because my hope is not in circumstances
changing. My hope is in the God who never changes.
And even if I am standing in Friday, Sunday still
belongs to God. Even if I am walking through
midnight, morning still belongs to God. Even
if I cannot see the road, the road still belongs
to God. Even if I cannot understand the chapter,
the book still belongs to God. and even when
I cannot see his hand, I will trust his heart.
Therefore, I will not write the ending. I will
not bury my expectation. I will not surrender
my worship. I will not allow fear to become my
prophet. I will not put a period where God may
have placed a comma. I will keep believing because
there may still be a but God waiting in my next
chapter. So today I declare, my story belongs
to God. My future belongs to God. My family belongs
to God. My purpose belongs to God. My calling
belongs to God. My unanswered questions belong
to God. My victories belong to God. And even
my battles, I place them in the hands of God.
Turn what you desire to turn. Stop what you desire
to stop. Move what you desire to move. and change
in me whatever must change. I surrender, I trust,
I believe, I expect, and I worship, because you
were God before the battle. You are God in the
battle, and you will still be God after the battle.
Therefore, I declare, the enemy may have an intention,
but God, circumstances may have a prediction,
but God, people may have their plans, but God.
The situation may look finished, but God, and
as long as God is still God, the story can still
change. I declare it. I believe it. I receive
it by faith, in the mighty, sovereign, victorious
resurrection name of Jesus Christ. Amen, amen,
and amen. Hallelujah.
