have you noticed how life sometimes surprises us we're expecting everything to go right when suddenly everything goes wrong instead of being surrounded by friends instead of having an easy path and having all our prayers answered we turn a corner and hit loneliness it's lonely because there's no one there's nothing nothing but your troubles and the reason I say this is because I have faced so many battles so many struggles I've been fighting season after season and I'm not just talking about Warfare in a single area of my life no I've faced battles within my family
I've had to fight battles concerning my health I've even faced battles in my mind all of these different areas have been under attack at one point or another but let me tell you something I am still standing I'm standing because of Jesus Christ I still have strength because the joy of the Lord is my strength I haven't given up I haven't thrown in the towel because I serve an awesome God I serve a big God an all powerful and mighty God you see not every storm not every crisis not every challenge or problem is bad
for you what I mean is that some situations we encounter yes they'll be difficult they will be painful but in the long run that storm it will be for your good that crisis will work out for your good that challenge will make you stronger you see someone will get sick but recover in such a way that they can only acknowledge the hand of God the miracle working power of the blood of Jesus someone's plans will get disrupted only to find that that disruption LED them to a better destination someone's plans will get delayed but that
that's perhaps God's way of saying not yet I have something better in store I have a better time in mind every crisis in life is not bad for you sometimes God uses adversity God places you in tough situations only for you to grow for you to develop stronger faith for you to mature so the next time a problem presents it self the next time you face a crisis just stop for a moment and ask God what do you want me to learn from this what do you want to develop Within Me Philippians 3 12-4 says
not that I have already obtained this or I'm already perfect but I press on to make it my own because Christ Jesus has made me his own Brothers I do not consider that I have made it my own but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus perhaps this year has been tough on you maybe it's been tough for you perhaps the enemy has been fighting you in multiple areas but Saints
I want to encourage you to get to the point where you say enough is enough tell the devil no more tell him that this struggle is not your portion and I'm talking to the person who's tired you're tired of being defeated you're tired of feeling as though as though you cannot overcome the mountain that's before you if you're at this point I want you to know that that God said I am who I am for a reason if you need to be rescued God says I am your rescue if you need to be healed God
says I am your healer if you need your family back together if you need your marriage restored God says I am the one who restores I am the one who men's broken hearts and I make them whole again and Saints I pray that the Holy Spirit Will convict you at this time may he speak to your heart may he open your ears and your eyes I encourage you to begin to speak the name that is above every other name that's the name of Jesus Christ if you can only get his name at the center of
your heart if you can only get his name on the throne of your mind that's when things happen for those who hunger he's the bread of life for those who thirst he is the Fountain of Living Water and so begin to confess and declare Lord Jesus Victory belongs to you Lord Jesus I am triumphant in you I will overcome because of you my God God Jesus you're the Cornerstone of my life you're the Bridge Over Troubled Water begin to confess his name and declare who he is he is the light of my salvation my great
Banner of hope my healer the way maker the Holy One the lion of the tribe of Judah Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega he is the author and the The Finisher he is Almighty the Everlasting father Saints for every issue you have for every problem you face God has a name for that and if you're out there and you need Redemption he is the Redeemer if you need a second chance if you need another chance he's merciful if you need to be delivered let me tell you my God is the deliverer if you
need protection he is the lion of the tribe of Judah do this for yourself read the word of God and begin to confess his word it's made all the difference in my life just see what it will do for you now let us pray dear heavenly father the one with all authority and Power I bless your holy name and I praise you God you are the alpha and the Omega the King of Kings and the Lord of lords you have taken me from a state of weakness and you said in your word in Luke 10
verse 19 behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you thank you for giving me such Authority Lord I stand firm in the victory that you have given me and through the authority that you have given me I command the enemy to flee from me your word says if I resist the devil he will flee from me and so I not only resist him today but I also declare confusion in his plots and his schemes I destroy
them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ you are a precious father who has not only given me authority over all the power of the enemy but you have also promised me that nothing shall by any means hurt me and as of right now with the authority given to me in your word I Break Every curse ever spoken to me in the name of Jesus I rebuke every demon from hell and everything that seeks to disrupt or distract me from the call of God in my life indeed the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail I
confess your word to be true over my life for it says in Deuteronomy 28:7 the Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways with you on my side Lord who can stand against me a God who commands an innumerable number of angels you are the Lord of hosts a God who has never lost a battle the creator of all things and therefore all power belongs to you Lord Jesus I praise you for your perfect sacrifice that
now allows me to be bold in faith I declare and decree that because I am Sanctified and covered by the blood of Jesus the kingdom of darkness has no power whatsoever in my life I cancel the devil's plots in jesus' name and I declare that he has no hold over me I confess by The Authority that's in the name of Jesus Christ that you devil are a defeated foe you will not succeed you will not Prosper because Jesus Christ is triumphant Jesus Christ has defeated death hell and the grave my Lord has put you to
shame devil and he has disarmed you to have no power over me or over my family it's because Jesus Christ rose from the dead dead that I am walking in Victory it's because Jesus Christ rose from the dead that I am an overcomer it's because of the Lord's strength and might it's his grace and mercy that allows me to have victory over the enemy Lord Jesus I praise you I magnify you and I uplift your name I Look to You King Jesus I know that this battle is not mine but it's yours and it's already
one so I will call on your name at all times when everything is good I'll call on your name Lord and even in my anguish I will call on the name of the Lord The Great I Am I trust you to deliver me from all my trouble Lord I bless your name and I glorify you for answering my prayer in Jesus name I pray amen and [Music] amen not that I have already obtained this or I'm already perfect but I press on to make it my own because Christ Jesus has made me his own Brothers
I do not consider that I have made it my own but one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you the Lord will cause your enemies who R against you to be defeated before you they shall come out against you one way and flee before you
seven ways the Lord is my light and my salvation Whom Shall I Fear the Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid when evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh my adversaries and foes it is they who stumble and fall though an arm encamp against me my heart shall not fear the war rise against me yet I will be confident one thing have I asked of the Lord that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to gaze
upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his Temple for he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble he will conceal me under the cover of his tent he will will lift me high upon a rock
