THE HOUSE OF PRAYER- DECLARATION OF FAITH-Season 8, Prayer V: BUT GOD · PAMOJA PODCAST | PAMOJA MINISTRY, A LIFE OF CHRIST INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES

• 0:00
  In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I come before
• 0:03
  you today, believing that you are still God.
• 0:06
  You are God over what I understand. You are God
• 0:10
  over what I do not understand. You are God over
• 0:13
  what is moving. You are God over what appears
• 0:16
  stuck. You are God over what I can change. And
• 0:21
  you remain God over everything beyond my control.
• 0:25
  Therefore, I declare that my present circumstances
• 0:29
  are not sovereign. God is sovereign. What I see
• 0:33
  does not have the final word. What I hear does
• 0:37
  not have the final word. What people have decided
• 0:40
  does not have the final word. What circumstances
• 0:44
  are predicting does not have the final word.
• 0:47
  God has the final word. And therefore, today
• 0:51
  I stand upon two words, but God. When everything
• 0:55
  says it is impossible but God When the situation
• 1:00
  appears finished but God when every natural door
• 1:04
  appears closed but God When I cannot understand
• 1:08
  how anything could change but God When human
• 1:12
  strength has reached its limit but God When I
• 1:16
  have done everything I know to do but God I declare
• 1:21
  that as long as God remains God The story can
• 1:25
  still change. Father, where something needs to
• 1:28
  turn according to your will, turn it. Where something
• 1:32
  needs to move, move it. Where something needs
• 1:36
  to break, break it. Where something needs to
• 1:40
  open, open it. Where something needs to close,
• 1:44
  close it. Where truth needs to come into the
• 1:47
  light, bring it into the light. Where confusion
• 1:51
  has taken over. Bring clarity. Where disorder
• 1:55
  has entered, establish your order. Where discouragement
• 1:59
  has settled, restore hope. Where fear has been
• 2:03
  speaking, let faith rise again. Where tears have
• 2:08
  been planted. Father, in your time, bring a harvest
• 2:13
  of joy. I declare that what looks like defeat
• 2:16
  today does not have the authority to announce
• 2:19
  my tomorrow. My current chapter is not my entire
• 2:23
  story. My present struggle is not my identity.
• 2:27
  My disappointment is not my destiny. My delay
• 2:30
  is not automatically denial. My midnight is not
• 2:34
  proof that mourning has been canceled. And what
• 2:36
  appears buried is not beyond the resurrection
• 2:39
  power of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I will believe
• 2:43
  again. I will pray again. I will worship again.
• 2:48
  I will expect again. I will rise again. I will
• 2:52
  dream again. I will move forward again. Because
• 2:55
  I refuse to allow one difficult chapter to convince
• 2:59
  me that God has finished writing. I surrender
• 3:03
  every outcome into your hands. I refuse to manipulate
• 3:07
  what I have already placed before you. I refuse
• 3:11
  to force doors you have not opened. I refuse
• 3:14
  to chase what you are asking me to release. I
• 3:18
  refuse to become consumed with proving myself.
• 3:21
  I refuse to allow revenge to enter my heart.
• 3:25
  I refuse to become bitter because someone misunderstood
• 3:28
  me. I refuse to fight spiritual battles with
• 3:32
  weapons of the flesh. You are my defender. You
• 3:35
  are my vindicator. You are my refuge. You are
• 3:40
  my god. So where I need to speak, give me wisdom
• 3:44
  to speak. Where I need to act, give me courage
• 3:47
  to act, where I need to wait, give me strength
• 3:51
  to wait, where I need to walk away, give me grace
• 3:55
  to release, and where I have done everything
• 3:58
  you required of me. Teach me how to stand still
• 4:03
  without becoming afraid, because I do not have
• 4:06
  to manufacture the reversal. God knows how to
• 4:10
  turn what needs to turn. Therefore, I declare.
• 4:15
  What was intended to discourage me will not steal
• 4:18
  my faith. What was intended to silence me will
• 4:22
  not steal my worship. What was intended to make
• 4:26
  me bitter will not poison my heart. What was
• 4:29
  intended to make me quit will not determine my
• 4:33
  future. What was intended to convince me that
• 4:36
  God had abandoned me will become another reason
• 4:39
  for me to testify he never left me. I declare
• 4:44
  that evil intentions do not possess sovereign
• 4:47
  authority over my destiny. Human plans are not
• 4:51
  greater than divine purpose. Opposition is not
• 4:54
  greater than divine authority. Closed doors are
• 4:58
  not greater than divine wisdom. And no circumstance
• 5:01
  is powerful enough to remove Almighty God from
• 5:04
  His throne. So I will not magnify the battle
• 5:08
  above my God. I will not magnify the problem
• 5:11
  above my God. I will not magnify the opposition
• 5:15
  above my God. I will not magnify what people
• 5:18
  said above what God has spoken. My God is greater.
• 5:22
  My God is faithful. My God is sovereign. My God
• 5:26
  is able. And my God is still writing. Turn mourning
• 5:30
  into dancing according to your will. Turn confusion
• 5:34
  into clarity. Turn fear into faith. Turn weakness
• 5:38
  into dependence upon you. Turn wounds into wisdom.
• 5:42
  Turn tears into testimony Turn closed chapters
• 5:46
  into lessons Turn wilderness seasons into preparation
• 5:50
  Turn what tried to pull me away from you Into
• 5:54
  something that drives me deeper into your presence
• 5:57
  And if the situation itself does not change immediately
• 6:02
  Change me while I am inside it Make my faith
• 6:06
  stronger Make my prayer deeper Make my discernment
• 6:11
  sharper Make my heart softer. Make my dependence
• 6:15
  upon you greater. Make my worship more sincere.
• 6:19
  Make Jesus greater in me than he was before the
• 6:22
  battle began. Because divine reversal is not
• 6:26
  only about changing what is around me. Sometimes
• 6:29
  the greatest reversal happens inside me. I entered
• 6:33
  afraid, but I will come out trusting. I entered
• 6:37
  wounded, but I will come out healed. I entered
• 6:41
  depending upon myself, but I will come out depending
• 6:45
  upon God. I entered asking, why me? But I will
• 6:51
  come out declaring, God was with me. And today,
• 6:56
  I release yesterday. I will not spend tomorrow
• 6:59
  trying to recreate yesterday. If you restore
• 7:02
  what was lost, Father, I will thank you. If you
• 7:06
  open something new, I will follow you. If you
• 7:09
  close a chapter permanently, I will trust you.
• 7:13
  If your reversal looks different from what I
• 7:16
  imagined, I will still trust you. Because I do
• 7:20
  not need you to return me to where I was. I need
• 7:23
  you to take me where you are going. So I declare,
• 7:28
  yesterday will not control tomorrow. Past failure
• 7:31
  will not control tomorrow. Past rejection will
• 7:35
  not control tomorrow. Past disappointment will
• 7:38
  not control tomorrow. Past betrayal will not
• 7:41
  control tomorrow. Past mistakes will not control
• 7:45
  tomorrow. Past fear will not control tomorrow.
• 7:49
  Jesus Christ is Lord over my tomorrow. And therefore,
• 7:53
  I speak over every place in my life where hopelessness
• 7:57
  has whispered, it is over. No, God has the final
• 8:01
  word. Where fear says, nothing can change. I
• 8:05
  answer, Where disappointment says, stop expecting.
• 8:10
  I answer, but God. Where circumstances say, there
• 8:14
  is no way. I answer, but God. Where my own understanding
• 8:18
  says, I cannot see how. I answer, I do not need
• 8:22
  to know how. I know who and where the enemy tries
• 8:26
  to use yesterday as evidence against tomorrow.
• 8:29
  I declare, God is still writing. I declare that
• 8:34
  my tears will not be wasted, my prayers will
• 8:38
  not be wasted, my waiting will not be wasted,
• 8:42
  my obedience will not be wasted, my faithfulness
• 8:46
  will not be wasted, my wilderness will not be
• 8:49
  wasted, my midnight will not be wasted, and even
• 8:54
  the things I cannot understand today I surrender
• 8:58
  into the hands of the God who redeems. Father,
• 9:02
  Redeem what can be redeemed. Restore what you
• 9:05
  desire to restore. Remove what must be removed.
• 9:09
  Expose what must be exposed. Heal what must be
• 9:12
  healed. Close what must remain closed. Open what
• 9:16
  no man can shut. And lead me forward, not backward,
• 9:20
  forward, into your purpose, into your will, into
• 9:24
  greater faith, into deeper prayer, into stronger
• 9:27
  obedience, into greater intimacy with Jesus Christ.
• 9:31
  And I declare today the battle can change. The
• 9:35
  direction can change. The atmosphere can change.
• 9:39
  The door can open. The answer can come. The tears
• 9:43
  can become songs. The prisoner can become free.
• 9:47
  The broken can become restored. The discouraged
• 9:50
  can rise again. The weary can receive strength
• 9:54
  again. The one who almost stopped believing can
• 9:58
  believe again. Because my hope is not in circumstances
• 10:01
  changing. My hope is in the God who never changes.
• 10:07
  And even if I am standing in Friday, Sunday still
• 10:11
  belongs to God. Even if I am walking through
• 10:14
  midnight, morning still belongs to God. Even
• 10:18
  if I cannot see the road, the road still belongs
• 10:22
  to God. Even if I cannot understand the chapter,
• 10:26
  the book still belongs to God. and even when
• 10:30
  I cannot see his hand, I will trust his heart.
• 10:34
  Therefore, I will not write the ending. I will
• 10:38
  not bury my expectation. I will not surrender
• 10:41
  my worship. I will not allow fear to become my
• 10:44
  prophet. I will not put a period where God may
• 10:47
  have placed a comma. I will keep believing because
• 10:52
  there may still be a but God waiting in my next
• 10:56
  chapter. So today I declare, my story belongs
• 11:01
  to God. My future belongs to God. My family belongs
• 11:05
  to God. My purpose belongs to God. My calling
• 11:09
  belongs to God. My unanswered questions belong
• 11:12
  to God. My victories belong to God. And even
• 11:16
  my battles, I place them in the hands of God.
• 11:20
  Turn what you desire to turn. Stop what you desire
• 11:23
  to stop. Move what you desire to move. and change
• 11:27
  in me whatever must change. I surrender, I trust,
• 11:31
  I believe, I expect, and I worship, because you
• 11:36
  were God before the battle. You are God in the
• 11:39
  battle, and you will still be God after the battle.
• 11:43
  Therefore, I declare, the enemy may have an intention,
• 11:48
  but God, circumstances may have a prediction,
• 11:52
  but God, people may have their plans, but God.
• 11:56
  The situation may look finished, but God, and
• 12:00
  as long as God is still God, the story can still
• 12:03
  change. I declare it. I believe it. I receive
• 12:07
  it by faith, in the mighty, sovereign, victorious
• 12:11
  resurrection name of Jesus Christ. Amen, amen,
• 12:16
  and amen. Hallelujah.
