The Enemy Wants You to QUIT - Fight Back With This Prayer! · Mornings with the Holy Spirit

0:01
In the mighty, matchless, all powerful
0:03
name of Jesus Christ, we rise up in the
0:06
authority that you have given us. We are
0:08
not backing down. We are not
0:10
surrendering and we are not giving the
0:13
enemy one more inch of territory right
0:16
now in the name of Jesus. We rebuke
0:19
every spirit of discouragement, despair,
0:23
fear, intimidation, and weariness. And
0:26
we command every demonic assignment
0:28
against our minds, our peace, our
0:32
purpose, and our destiny to be broken
0:35
now in Jesus' name. Every lying voice
0:38
telling us to quit, be silenced. Every
0:41
stronghold of hopelessness, come down in
0:44
Jesus' name. Every fiery dart aimed at
0:47
our minds. Be extinguished by the shield
0:50
of faith. Oh shakat, we plead the blood
0:53
of Jesus against discouragement. We
0:55
cancel every negative word we've spoken
0:57
over ourselves. We demolish every
1:00
argument that exalts itself against the
1:02
knowledge of God. We take every thought
1:04
captive to the obedience of Christ. We
1:07
will not be intimidated. We will not be
1:10
manipulated. We will not be defeated.
1:12
Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. So we
1:16
put on the whole armor of God and we
1:18
lift up the shield of faith. We swing
1:20
the sword of the spirit and we declare
1:22
we will live and not die. We will finish
1:25
our assignment. We will not quit.
1:28
Greater is he who is in us than he who
1:30
is in the world. So we give you praise
1:32
before the breakthrough. We give you
1:34
thanks in the battle. The enemy is
1:37
defeated. Jesus is Lord and we stand in
1:39
his victory in the mighty name of Jesus.
1:42
Amen. And amen. Come on, somebody type
1:45
amen. If you're ready to run, I'm going
1:47
to pray, pray, pray for you today.
1:50
There's a spirit of discouragement that
1:52
loves to attack in this season. People
1:54
want to look at what they didn't get
1:56
done this year. The family issues all
1:58
around. Money issues, whatever it is, we
2:01
will not be discouraged. Amen. We're
2:03
going to press in. We're going to break
2:05
this discouragement. And if you're not
2:06
discouraged now, take this as a
2:09
preemptive strike because that voice
2:11
loves to come speaking up on us at
2:13
opportune times. And this season is an
2:15
opportune time. So, I'm about to press
2:17
in. I want to remind you of the
2:20
gratitude shift challenge. Please
2:22
remember to go and grab that. This is
2:25
going to be a gamecher. We're going to
2:27
go into the year having broken through.
2:30
I said we're not going into the next
2:32
season with all the baggage, all the
2:34
complaining, all the whining, all the
2:36
muttering. No, no, no. We're going in
2:39
with gratitude. It attracts the Holy
2:41
Spirit and we are going to press in. So
2:44
press in with me. Go to www.gratitude. a
2:47
gratitude challenge. It's available for
2:49
a donation and you can keep it forever
2:51
because you're going to need to go back
2:52
to it. It's going to challenge you.
2:54
Please go get that while you can. And
2:57
also remember my new YouTube community.
2:59
I really want you to get in on that.
3:00
We're ramping up. The more people we get
3:03
in, the bigger impact we can make
3:05
together. Hashtag we stand together. Get
3:07
in on that. You'll find it. You can
3:09
click my face. There's a button there
3:10
somewhere. You get on that. And if
3:12
you're listening, you can go to
3:14
tinyurl.com/jennifer.
3:18
I'm really excited about this. You guys
3:20
have been asking for this for years and
3:22
now here it is. I want to say a word
3:25
before we get started in our prayer. So,
3:28
let me just jump in.
3:30
You know, the battle is fierce
3:33
and you know it, God knows it, the enemy
3:36
knows it. I go through seasons where the
3:41
attacks are especially fierce and it's
3:43
usually to keep me from advancing into a
3:46
new territory or a new realm in the
3:49
spirit or a new opportunity that lies
3:52
before me. And I have found that the
3:54
enemy knows when the opportune time is.
3:57
He's not all knowing, but he certainly
4:00
does understand when we're inching
4:02
toward breakthrough sometimes better
4:04
than we do. And the enemy likes to pile
4:07
on. He likes to pour on. He likes to
4:10
push back. He likes to oppress. And one
4:13
of the most insidious tactics,
4:17
and he uses it because it works, is to
4:19
sew seeds of discouragement in the
4:22
hearts of God's people. You know, I'm
4:25
not immune to it. You're not immune to
4:26
it. If we take our eyes off God, if the
4:29
enemy can get us to take our eyes off
4:31
God and fixate on the storms, the
4:34
challenges, the problems, the setbacks,
4:37
you know, he can weaken our faith.
4:40
Listen, we have the faith of Jesus.
4:42
Jesus lives on the inside of us and we
4:44
live by the faith in the son of God. But
4:48
when Peter saw the storm, his faith
4:51
began to waver and he started to sink.
4:53
And so the same thing happens to us. The
4:56
enemy wants to steal our joy and the joy
4:58
of the Lord is our strength. So the
5:00
enemy is a master of distraction
5:03
and his goal is to get you in so much
5:06
emotional turmoil, so torquked up, so
5:09
frustrated, so discouraged that you
5:12
forget who you are in Christ. You forget
5:16
what you're called to do. you forget
5:18
your passion in life and you just begin
5:21
to melt down or back up or back down or
5:24
back off, whatever you want to call it.
5:26
Make no mistake, discouragement
5:30
is a sign that the enemy is playing
5:33
games with your mind. I was praying uh
5:37
just this morning and I'm like, Lord,
5:39
this these attacks have ramped up. They
5:42
have escalated. And I know it's not just
5:43
me and it's because of the TV. Every
5:46
time we try to go on TV, the enemy pulls
5:48
out all the stops to just wreak havoc on
5:51
everybody, our our staff, our team,
5:55
everybody gets hit because the enemy
5:57
knows that that TV opportunity is what's
6:00
going to cause us to reach more people
6:01
with the with the word of God and the
6:02
power of prayer. And so I was asking
6:04
Lord, what is what is the strategy then
6:07
right now for us as a team? What is the
6:10
strategy? And the Lord spoke very
6:12
clearly to my heart. He said, "Gird up
6:14
the loins of your mind." You know,
6:16
because that's where the enemy attacks,
6:18
isn't it? And the enemy wants to put us
6:20
on an emotional roller coaster. He wants
6:21
to get us discouraged. Discouragement is
6:24
a sign. Take it as a sign of spiritual
6:25
attack, you know. And it's a sure
6:29
indicator when you get discouraged, when
6:30
I get discouraged, when we get
6:31
discouraged, it's an indicator that our
6:34
focus, listen carefully, has shifted
6:38
from the promises of God to the lies of
6:41
the enemy. That's so powerful. I'm going
6:43
to say it again. When you feel
6:46
discouragement, now you might not
6:48
immediately know that's what you're
6:49
feeling. You might feel frustrated.
6:51
Frustration is often a precursor to
6:53
discouragement. We might pray about that
6:55
as well because it's a season of it.
6:57
We're coming into I'm telling you, we're
6:59
coming into in the next four weeks,
7:01
witchcraft starts rising. So
7:03
discouragement is a sign that the enemy
7:05
is playing games with your mind and it's
7:08
a sure indicator that your focus has
7:12
shifted from the promises of God to the
7:15
lies of the enemy. So when you feel that
7:17
heavy weight on your heart and you that
7:20
creeping sense of hopelessness, it's not
7:23
just your emotions reacting to your
7:25
circumstances that that that's what's
7:27
happening. Yes. But it's spiritual
7:29
warfare. There there was an impetus.
7:31
There was a there was a thought that you
7:33
took. There was an attack on your mind.
7:34
There was a fiery dart that slipped
7:36
through. And the enemy is trying to drag
7:39
you down and drag you out. He's trying
7:42
to make you doubt God's goodness and to
7:44
ultimately pull you out of your high
7:46
calling. We can't let him. Listen, I've
7:48
written an article. It's over there on
7:50
my website at jenniferlair.org/articles.
7:53
Please check that out. It's going to
7:54
help you because I go and unpack this a
7:57
little more deeply. And we're going to
7:59
pray into all this and more in today's
8:03
mornings with the Holy Spirit. This is
8:04
Jenniferlair, walking in the spirit and
8:07
winning in the warfare. And I prophesy
8:10

9:51
Man, it's a weekend that will change
9:54
your life. It changes mine every time I
9:57
do it. Amen. God is so good. Today,
10:01
we're going to read from Victory
10:03
Decrees, Daily Prophetic Strategies for
10:06
Spiritual Warfare Victory. And today's
10:09
devotion is titled, "It's never too
10:12
late."
10:14
It's never too late. And here's what I
10:16
heard the Lord say. It's never too late
10:20
because I am never late. So when you
10:23
feel like the world is crashing around
10:25
you, says the Lord, know it won't be
10:28
long before I come crashing in on the
10:30
situation that's burdening you. I will
10:33
not let more come upon you than you can
10:36
bear. I always provide a way of escape.
10:40
You will see my way of escape more
10:42
clearly, says the Lord, when you
10:44
unbburden yourself. Your spiritual
10:47
vision will improve when you stop
10:50
looking at what the enemy is doing and
10:53
look at what I have already done in your
10:56
life in past seasons. I will show up for
10:59
you again, says the Lord. Believe me.
11:03
You know, it it's so simple. We just
11:05
need to believe what he said and who he
11:07
is and what he's done on the cross, what
11:10
he's promised.
11:12
But when the storms are battering
11:15
against our minds, it's harder to
11:18
remember that we have to catch
11:19
ourselves. We've got to catch ourselves.
11:22
You know, it's not that you don't feel
11:25
any emotion about the situations, the
11:27
trials, but you don't let your emotions
11:29
rule you. That's that's the that's the
11:32
rub. That's the gist of it. That's what
11:33
we're aiming at. You can feel those
11:35
emotions rising up
11:38
and you say, "Okay, I I see you, but
11:40
you're not ruling me. The Holy Spirit is
11:43
the one in charge. I am submitting to
11:45
him. I am a spirit. I have a soul. My
11:47
soul might be trying to go wonkoners,
11:48
but no, no, no, no, no. I'm a spirit.
11:50
I'm going to live out of my spirit. I
11:52
live and move and have my being in him."
11:53
That needs to be your stance. Take
11:55
practice it. It takes practice.
11:57
Scripture references are in the
11:59
devotional. Pick up your copy of Victory
12:00
Decrees on my website at
12:02
jenniferlair.org.
12:03
or wherever you find books online. Now,
12:06
the prayer starter and the decree from
12:08
the devotional. Father, help me see
12:11
Jesus clearly in the midst of the
12:13
warfare. Help me focus on Jesus as the
12:16
way of escape and wait for the words of
12:19
the Holy Spirit to show me the strategy.
12:23
I decree the enemy's blinding tactics
12:26
cannot affect my spiritual eyes. I
12:29
declare my God is never late to the
12:32
battle and always leads me into triumph
12:34
in Christ Jesus in Jesus' name. Amen.
12:38
And amen. Father, we praise you today
12:42
because you are good. There's just
12:44
nobody like you. Nobody to whom we can
12:47
compare you. Nobody holds a candle to
12:50
you. You are the most high God. We adore
12:53
you. Our affections are placed upon you,
12:57
Lord. We will choose to attend to your
13:00
word. Your word. Your word. Your word is
13:04
a lamp unto our feet and a light unto
13:06
our path. Your words are spirit and they
13:09
are life. And so we choose by force of
13:12
our will to put your word in our mouth.
13:15
We will speak life out of our mouths. We
13:18
cancel every word of death that we have
13:21
spoken over ourselves, tempted by the
13:23
wicked one to say something contrary to
13:27
your will. We cancel those words now in
13:30
the name of Jesus. And we lean on you.
13:34
We lean everything we have and all that
13:36
we are on you because you are able to
13:39
make us stand. You are the God who sees
13:42
us in our affliction. You are the God
13:45
who sees the end from the beginning. You
13:47
are the God who created good works
13:50
beforehand that we should walk in them.
13:52
You are the God who has promised to lead
13:54
us and guide us into all truth, to show
13:57
us things to come and to be our rear
14:00
guard. So we will yet praise you.
14:04
We will look for you when we need rescue
14:07
because you are our rock. You are our
14:10
fortress. You are our deliverer. our
14:13
heart trusts in you and we are helped
14:16
because you are a very present help in
14:19
time of need. So would you help us to
14:21
remember Lord that your plans for us
14:24
they're not for evil. They are for good
14:27
to give us a future and a hope. Help us
14:31
to cast our cares upon you because you
14:34
care for us to to to to to to cast all
14:37
the anxiety on you and with prayer with
14:40
supplication and thanksgiving and that
14:43
peace of God will then guard our hearts
14:45
and our minds in Christ Jesus. Father,
14:48
would you help us because part of our
14:51
mind is unrenewed. Part of our mind
14:54
thinks like the world thinks. part of
14:57
our mind has been transformed to the way
15:00
of the world or conformed to the spirit
15:02
of the age instead of transformed by
15:05
your word. God, help us submit our mind
15:08
to your word. Help us, Lord, to remember
15:12
amid our busy schedules to meditate on
15:15
the word day and night and be careful to
15:18
do all that it says. Then we'll make our
15:20
way prosperous. Then we'll find good
15:22
success. Then we'll overcome the wicked
15:25
one. Then we'll find healing for our
15:27
bodies. Then we'll find deliverance for
15:30
our souls. Then we'll find
15:31
reconciliation in relationships. Then
15:34
we'll find prosperity in what we put our
15:36
hand to. God, would you help us to renew
15:39
our minds to your word so that we know
15:43
who we are and what we carry, whom we
15:45
carry in our spirits. We are one with
15:48
you and nothing shall snatch us out of
15:50
your hands. No one. Nothing. So Lord,
15:53
help us to tap into the grace that's on
15:56
the inside of us, the spirit of grace
15:58
who lives within us to persevere
16:02
past the problems, past the issues, past
16:05
the pain, knowing that endurance
16:07
produces character, and character
16:09
produces hope. Lord, help us fortify our
16:13
faith. Lord, help us not to waver
16:15
between two opinions. No matter what it
16:18
looks like, no matter what it feels
16:20
like, no matter what it sounds like.
16:22
Help us to keep our eyes fixed on you,
16:26
Jesus. You are the author of our faith.
16:29
You are the finisher of our faith and
16:32
you are with us as we walk by faith and
16:35
not by sight. You are leading us by your
16:37
spirit. Help us to submit ourselves to
16:40
you to resist the devil's meddling in
16:43
our emotions so that he's going to have
16:46
to flee. Help us, Lord. Help us, Lord.
16:50
Help us, Lord. Your joy is our strength.
16:53
So, we choose to rejoice in you by force
16:56
of our will. We choose to we choose to
17:00
we choose to rejoice in you. Oh, the
17:03
banker says they're going to they're
17:04
going to bankrupt. Oh, no. No. We choose
17:07
to rejoice in you. The doctor brings a
17:09
bad diagnosis. No. We choose to rejoice
17:12
in you. We're having a bad day in a bad
17:14
way. No. We choose to rejoice in you. If
17:17
your word tells us to rejoice, then it
17:20
must be possible to rejoice always.
17:23
Always, always, always. And again, I say
17:25
rejoice. So help us, Lord, bend our will
17:28
to your direction instead of letting the
17:31
enemy bend our will in his direction.
17:34
God, help us to submit ourselves to you
17:37
and not to the wicked one. Help us,
17:39
Lord, to lean into you and not to the
17:42
understanding, not to the carnal mind,
17:44
not to the flesh, not to Jesus. Help us,
17:47
Lord, to do this thing your way because
17:50
your way is the higher way. We have
17:52
courage on the inside. So, we say we
17:54
will tap in and we will move forward in
17:57
the name of Jesus. We know that you are
18:00
with us everywhere we go. I thank you
18:03
Lord that we are more than conquerors
18:05
through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah.
18:09
Hallelujah.
18:10
Hallelujah. Now we command every spirit
18:13
of despair and hopelessness to leave us
18:16
now in the name of Jesus.
18:22
We declare that we shall live and not
18:24
die and proclaim the works of the Lord
18:27
in the land of the living in Jesus name.
18:30
Hallelujah. We declare that no weapon
18:33
formed against our faith will prosper,
18:36
but rather we will lift up the shield of
18:38
faith. We will c keep it lifted high and
18:41
we're going to quench every fiery dart.
18:44
Not one will get by our shield of faith.
18:46
We are fortifying our faith with the
18:48
word of God. The uh faith comes by
18:51
hearing, not having heard, by hearing,
18:54
not having heard five years ago. By
18:56
hearing, faith is now. Faith comes by
18:59
hearing now. So we choose to confess
19:01
your word. We choose to war with your
19:03
word. We choose to swing the sword of
19:06
the spirit, which is the word of God,
19:08
against every foe, against every enemy,
19:11
against every form of or or fashion of
19:14
weapon that dares to form itself against
19:16
us. In the name of Jesus, we declare
19:19
that every plan of the enemy to cause us
19:22
to give up and quit is nullified by the
19:25
blood of the lamb. We release the fire
19:28
of God
19:30
against every stronghold
19:32
of despair, every stronghold of
19:36
discouragement. We decree and declare
19:38
that we are children of God. And greater
19:40
is he who is in us, hallelujah, than he
19:45
who is in the world. We release the
19:47
sword of the spirit to cut down every
19:50
lie of the enemy. Lord, let the sword of
19:53
the Lord draw. Let the sword of the Lord
19:55
drop. Let the sword of the Lord drop.
19:57
Let the sword of the Lord drop. Oh,
19:58
against every enemy that tries to
20:00
convince us to give up, we say we will
20:02
not give up. We will not quit. We
20:05
command every door of opportunity that
20:07
the enemy has snuck through to be
20:09
slammed in his face right now in the
20:13
name of Jesus. I rebuke the spirit of
20:15
weariness that tries to get us to back
20:18
off and back down. We declare that we
20:20
will rise up with wings like eagles. We
20:23
will run and not grow weary. We will
20:25
walk and not faint. That fainting spirit
20:28
has no hold on us. In the name of Jesus,
20:31
we say we are strengthened in our inner
20:34
man by the Holy Ghost. In the name of
20:37
Jesus, we say the Lord is our strength
20:40
and our shield. We will not give up. Our
20:42
victory is assured. We cancel every
20:46
negative word spoken against our life
20:48
and our destiny. And we declare we will
20:51
finish our race. We will run our course.
20:53
We will complete the good work that God
20:55
has given us to do in the name of Jesus.
20:59
Every plan, every plot that's been
21:02
orchestrated to get us to give up and
21:04
quit, we abolish it now. We come against
21:06
it by the word of God in the name of the
21:09
strong son of God, Jesus Christ. We
21:11
rebuke every spirit of fear. We rebuke
21:14
all in enemy intimidation that tries to
21:17
keep us from moving forward, that tries
21:19
to get us to give up and quit. We
21:21
declare that we are not victims, but we
21:23
are victors. We will not give up. We
21:26
will not back down. We refuse to be
21:28
defeated by the enemy's tactics in the
21:31
name of Jesus. By the blood of Jesus, we
21:35
break these spirits uh these spiritual
21:37
attacks against our mind and our
21:40
emotions. And we say we have the mind of
21:42
Christ. We are stable. We are steady.
21:45
And we are ready for whatever may come
21:47
our way because we are rooted and
21:48
grounded in love. and and our Lord has
21:51
given us all things that we need to
21:53
fight and win the battle to to to
21:56
execute his will in the name of Jesus.
21:58
So we give you all the praise. We give
22:01
you all the glory. We give you all the
22:03
praise and we give you all the glory in
22:07
Jesus name. Amen and amen. Come on,
22:10
share this with somebody. We're going to
22:11
get into these prayers against
22:12
discouragement. These the secret weapon
22:15
is thanksgiving. And I know you don't
22:17
want to hear it.
22:21
I said, 'The secret weapon against
22:24
discouragement is thanksgiving. You
22:26
cannot be thankful and be discouraged at
22:28
the same time. It's impossible. I've
22:30
tried it.
22:32
You might be able to walk and chew gum
22:34
at the same time, but you can't be
22:35
discouraged and be thankful at the same
22:38
time. And the and we're supposed to give
22:40
thanks to God in all things. Huh? We're
22:44
supposed to give thanks to God in all
22:45
things. So if you're not thanking God,
22:47
you're not in the will of God. When we
22:50
get discouraged, we're not in the will
22:51
of God. And it's not that he's mad at
22:53
us. He's not trying to rebuke us. No,
22:55
that's not the point. He loves you. He
22:57
doesn't want you to be discouraged. Why
23:00
would you be discouraged? Don't let the
23:01
devil dish you like that. Discouraged,
23:04
right? He wants you to be encouraged.
23:05
When you're in Christ, you're
23:07
encouraged. And so, he doesn't want to
23:09
see you like that because he loves you.
23:11
So, he's told us the remedy
23:14
for discouragement. And it's
23:16
Thanksgiving. The key is remembering to
23:18
do that when the onslaught hits. This is
23:21
why you need people around you, friends
23:23
and family who will tell you the truth.
23:26
Hey, hey, hey, that discouragement
23:28
demon's getting on you better. You
23:29
better start thanking God. Huh? So,
23:33
let's pray. Father, in the name of
23:35
Jesus, we thank you for your steadfast
23:38
love that never ceases. And we declare
23:41
that your mercies are new every day. We
23:44
ask you to forgive us, God, for all the
23:47
times we allowed discouragement to
23:49
settle into our soul. Instead of giving
23:52
you thanks, we gave the devil praise
23:54
called complaining and being upset. And
23:56
we glorified him. And Lord, we ask you
23:59
to forgive us and help us to set our
24:01
mind a right in the name of Jesus. Lord,
24:05
you are good as your mercies endure
24:08
forever. And that weapon of
24:09
discouragement may have formed against
24:11
us, but it can't prosper. Especially
24:13
when we're giving you praise and thanks.
24:17
We thank you, Lord, that every plan the
24:20
enemy has orchestrated against our life
24:23
is frustrated and brought to not in
24:25
Jesus name. It has failed miserably
24:28
because we will continue to sing your
24:30
praises day in and day out because we
24:33
know where we're headed. We know that we
24:36
have eternal life with you in your
24:39
presence, fullness of joy. Thank you,
24:42
Lord. We give you praise and we thank
24:44
you that you are our shield.
24:47
You are our fortress. We give you thanks
24:50
that every fiery dart of the wicked one
24:53
can be extinguished by the shield of
24:55
faith that you have given us. Your
24:57
shield is not shoddy. Your shield is not
24:59
rusty. Your shield is not inadequate.
25:02
But your shield when we lift it up, it
25:05
guarantees that you guarantee that it
25:07
will quench every fiery dart of the
25:09
enemy. So thank you Lord that you've
25:12
given us authority over the power of the
25:14
enemy and nothing shall by any means
25:17
harm us. You have given us authority in
25:21
the name of Jesus. It's not a subpar
25:23
authority. It's not a mere human
25:25
authority. It's a divine authority that
25:28
works every time we release it in faith.
25:30
So thank you Lord that you've given us
25:32
your authority and thank you Lord that
25:35
you've given us the measure of faith.
25:37
Thank you Lord that you've given us the
25:38
weapons of our warfare which are not
25:40
carnal but mighty in God to the pulling
25:43
down of strongholds. Thank you Lord that
25:45
you've given us your your blood and your
25:47
s you've given us everything we need to
25:50
succeed. Thank you Lord. Thank you that
25:53
you've promised to go before us and make
25:56
the crooked places straight in the name
25:58
of Jesus. Oh God, we're so grateful for
26:01
the blood that you shed at Calvary that
26:04
made a way for us out of no way that
26:07
paved the way to an eternal life. We we
26:09
have eternal redemption. We have an
26:11
eternal inheritance. Father, help us.
26:14
Thank you for the blood that speaks a
26:16
better thing in the name of Jesus. Oh,
26:20
thank you that the blood silences every
26:22
enemy accusation in the name of Jesus.
26:26
Thank you Lord for the blood that by
26:28
your stripes we are healed. Thank you
26:30
Lord for the blood because of it we can
26:33
be delivered from demon powers we can
26:35
prosper and be in health even as our
26:37
soul prospers. Thank you Lord that you
26:40
have disarmed principalities and powers
26:42
and made a public spectacle of them
26:45
triumphing over them in the cross. We
26:48
give you thanks oh Jesus. We thank you.
26:51
We thank you that you dwell on the
26:53
inside of us. Oh, the kingdom of God
26:55
dwells on the inside of us. Oh, you gave
26:58
us your son. What more would you not
27:00
give us with him? Oh, Jesus, for his
27:03
sake, I thank you, Lord. I thank you
27:05
that you've given us power over you and
27:09
victory over sin, over death, and the
27:12
grave in the name of Jesus. And we stand
27:14
in that victory today. We will not be
27:17
discouraged in the name of Jesus. We
27:21
refuse all discouragement in the name of
27:24
Jesus. We thank you Lord. We thank you
27:28
Lord that every tongue that rises
27:29
against us in judgment is condemned. For
27:32
this is the heritage of your servant and
27:34
we are your servants. You are a mighty
27:36
man of war and you fight our battles.
27:38
Every enemy that rises up against us is
27:41
defeated and shamefaced in the name of
27:44
Jesus. I thank you Lord that you have
27:47
made us a terror to the kingdom of
27:50
darkness and no evil shall befall us and
27:53
no plague shall come nigh our dwelling.
27:56
You have put all things under our feet
27:58
including discouragement and we are
28:00
seated in heavenly places in Christ
28:03
Jesus. Even now that is our declaration.
28:07
That is our legal position. Help us,
28:09
Lord, to work it out in our living
28:11
condition, to live with the victory
28:13
mindset, not listening to the voice of
28:15
discouragement. I thank you, Lord, that
28:18
this is the victory that overcomes the
28:20
world, even our faith. And we walk in
28:23
victory every day because we walk by
28:26
faith and not by sight. We walk
28:28
circumspectly. We walk in love. We walk
28:30
in faith. We walk in hope. Thank you,
28:32
Lord. Thank you that you silence every
28:35
accusation of the enemy coming against
28:37
us. Thank you that you've made us strong
28:40
in you and the power of your might. We
28:43
can stand firm against every attack of
28:46
discouragement in the name of Jesus. We
28:49
are grateful.
28:50
We are grateful that the power of your
28:53
resurrection is at work in us.
28:56
Quickening our mortal bodies and giving
28:58
us the strength to overcome. We are more
29:01
than conquerors in Christ Jesus. Greater
29:03
is he who is in us than he who is in the
29:06
world. You've not given us a spirit of
29:08
fear, but of power, love, and a sound
29:11
mind. So, we reject discouragement. We
29:13
reject emo emotional roller coasters. We
29:16
reject fear. We reject intimidation. And
29:19
I thank you, Lord, that you've called us
29:21
out of darkness and into your marvelous
29:23
light. And darkness cannot overcome us
29:26
because we are filled with the light,
29:28
the love, and the presence of God. And
29:30
darkness cannot comprehend the light.
29:32
So, we will walk in the light in the
29:33
name of Jesus. Oh, I thank you, Lord,
29:36
that you are our hiding place and you
29:39
preserve us from trouble. You surround
29:42
us and you sing songs of deliverance
29:44
over us and angels encamp around us. How
29:47
can we lose when we put on the armor and
29:49
we speak the word? You've already
29:51
defeated the devil, the ws of the wicked
29:53
one. You've given us the shield of faith
29:56
to quench all the fiery darts of the
29:58
devil. Oh, I thank you that you've given
30:01
us victory in every battle. The enemy is
30:04
defeated. We are victorious. Your
30:07
precious blood covers us, protecting us
30:10
from every scheme of the enemy. I thank
30:12
you that we are the head. Hey, and not
30:15
the tail. Oh, we are above. Yeah. And
30:18
not beneath. Yes. In every situation,
30:20
you've given us power to create wealth.
30:23
You've given us power to resist the
30:24
devil. and he flees from us in terror in
30:27
the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord,
30:30
that you fill our mouth with wisdom that
30:32
that our adversaries cannot contradict
30:35
and cannot resist. I thank you that
30:37
you've made us mighty warriors in your
30:39
kingdom and the gates of hell shall not
30:42
prevail against your kingdom. And since
30:44
we are citizens of your kingdom, that
30:47
means the gates of hell shall not
30:49
prevail against us. I thank you, Lord.
30:52
We give you praise and honor and glory.
30:55
Thank you for the word which is the
30:57
two-edged sword. It's in our mouths
30:59
cutting down every lie of the wicked
31:02
one. And you've given us power to tread
31:04
on serpents and scorpions and over all
31:06
the power of the enemy. And nothing
31:08
shall by any means harm us. So we give
31:11
you all the praise and we give you all
31:13
the honor and we give you all the glory.
31:15
I said we give you all the praise and we
31:18
give you all the honor and we give you
31:20
all the glory. Come on, somebody. I said
31:22
we give you all the praise and all the
31:26
glory and all it all belongs to you,
31:28
Jesus. You're the one that paid the
31:30
price. You're the one that made a way
31:33
out of now way. And we give you praise
31:36
and honor and glory. We magnify your
31:39
holy name. You How great is our God.
31:43
Great and mighty is he. Hallelujah.
31:47
Hallelujah.
31:49
Hallelujah to the lamb of God. We praise
31:52
and honor your name in Jesus name. Amen.
31:56
And amen. Come on somebody. God is good.
32:03
Give them praise.
32:05
You can't be discouraged when you pray
32:07
like that.
32:09
I got up this morning praying like that.
32:11
I was I'mma come. I got so much I want
32:14
to pray about.
32:16
Amen. And pray for you and teach you.
32:18
God is good all the time. Listen, we all
32:22
deal with the same junk. Some of us
32:25
might deal with more of it. Some of us
32:27
might deal with less of it. Some of us
32:29
might have a greater intensity of the
32:31
junk. Some of a lesser intensity.
32:34
But we all deal with the same junk. The
32:36
enemy, the battle is in the mind. We
32:37
need to, what did I tell you? We need to
32:39
gird up the loins of our mind.
32:42
What does that mean? It means that
32:44
orientals back in Paul's day used to
32:46
wear long flowing robes and pants and
32:49
they had to tuck all that in up under
32:51
their belt or else they'd trip when they
32:54
ran. So when you're going to battle, you
32:57
got to you got to got to keep it tight,
32:58
man. You got to keep it tight. You got
32:59
to keep your mind right. You got to keep
33:01
it tight because the enemy wants to take
33:03
advantage of you. And he will. And he
33:06
does that. He can hit your body, but
33:08
most of the time he hits your mind. And
33:10
even when he hits your body, he also
33:12
hits your mind. So we need to be aware
33:14
of this and it's not easy. We all fall
33:16
for it sometimes. So there is therefore
33:17
now no condemnation to those who are in
33:20
Christ Jesus who walk according to the
33:22
spirit and not according to the flesh.
33:24
The mindset on the flesh leads to death.
33:26
The mindset on the spirit is life and
33:28
peace. So we need to How do you set your
33:29
mind on the spirit? You set your mind on
33:31
the word. The things of the spirit, it's
33:34
the word of God. Amen. And his presence
33:37
and his person. But you find all about
33:39
who God is in the word, right? And so
33:43
keep we got we got to renew our minds.
33:45
We've got to renew our minds. That's how
33:47
the enemy keeps getting us. It's in our
33:49
minds. It's the battle. It's the being
33:50
suspicious of somebody, thinking they
33:52
did you wrong, you know? Uh it's it's
33:54
getting your feelings hurt, not being
33:55
able to shake it off. It's whatever. We
33:57
need to get it together. God wants to
34:00
vindicate you. Did you know that? The
34:03
people that did you dirty, he wants to
34:04
vindicate you. I'm grateful. I want all
34:08
of you to get into the gratitude shift
34:11
challenge. This is a labor of love. It's
34:14
30 days to greater joy, peace, and
34:18
intimacy with the Holy Spirit. You know,
34:21
gratitude attracts the Lord. He likes
34:24
that. Remember the Israelites in the
34:26
wilderness? I've been reading Genesis,
34:29
Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers the past
34:31
couple of weeks. And these Israelites
34:34
just complained and complained and
34:35
complained and complained and it didn't
34:37
get them anywhere. As a matter of fact,
34:39
it caused them a lot of trouble. And we
34:42
have to understand that in gratitude is
34:45
very sinful. But gratitude is a weapon.
34:49

not appreciative. So I want you to

35:48

God's goodness, this is this is for you.
36:47
If you've been through a difficult
36:48
season and need help recognizing what
36:50
God is still doing in your life, he's
36:52
still working, this is for you. So, if
36:54
you're ready to make gratitude a daily
36:56
habit that strengthens your faith,
36:59
changes your perspective, and helps you
37:00
enjoy your life again, this is for you.
37:03
And also, there's limited time bonuses,
37:06
30 days of gratitude prompts and
37:07
decrees, thanksgiving as a weapon, which
37:10
it is, and a thanksgiving worship set.
37:13
So, get in on that. It's all there for
37:15
you. I hope you'll do that. Go make your
37:17
donation, and then the challenge will
37:19
appear in your account just a few
37:22
minutes after that. Get in on it at
37:24
www.gratitude
37:26
challenge.
37:28
No, it's gratitude shift.
37:29
gratitudeshift.com.
37:31
Why? Because it's going to shift your
37:32
whole life.
37:34
And I would suggest you get a gratitude
37:35
journal. Just get a notebook and just
37:37
start writing what you're thankful for
37:39
every day before you go to bed, too. Uh
37:42
that would help you sleep. Instead of
37:44
thinking about all the things that went
37:45
wrong, think about all the things that
37:48
are right. Amen. God is good all the
37:52
time. All the time. God is good. I want
37:56
to give you the opportunity to sew
37:58
today. If this is blessing you, go sew
38:01
into the gratitude shift challenge. But
38:04
if you're not interested in that, if you
38:06
say, "I am already the most thankful
38:08
person I know. I praise God all day and
38:10
all night." Then support us if you can

And father, how grateful I am for all
39:13
those who follow, who join in prayer
39:15
every day, who support the ministry. I'm
39:18
so grateful for them. And I ask you to
39:20
bless this offering back to the givers
39:22
in Jesus name. Amen. And amen. Remember
39:25
also about my YouTube membership. We're
39:27
over a hundred strong now. There's all
39:30
kind of perks and badges and prayer
39:32
points and audio notes and there's just
39:34
so much there for you if you want to
39:35
support the ministry. That's not like a
39:37
traditional partnership because YouTube
39:39
takes its cut, but it does help us to

keep promoting and and producing rather
39:43
content. Make sure you check out my

39:56
the Lord and I share lessons I've
39:58
learned there over there as well. Make

to it if you purchase it or donate for

causing pain. I thank you father in
