hey family pastor T here god bless you

listen you’re getting ready to hear a

powerful message and I wanted to also

remind you about the message that is in

this book it released as you know on

February 6 it’s already number one new

release on Amazon in three different

categories if you don’t have this book

in your life get it in your life it is

changing the world one whole person at a

time but God bless you for now I’ve got

a great message that I want you to hear

check it out it was Benjamin Franklin

who said that there is nothing certain

in life besides his death in Texas that

was before what kinda came out now what

kind of there’s another no alright it’s

too soon ok it’s alright death and taxes

if I may add without being disrespectful

to the memory of Benjamin Franklin

another another thing that is certain it

would be battles I think that battles

are just as certain as death and taxes

when I was growing up I was under the

impression that when you got saved and

gave your life to the Lord and I mean

like really started living for the Lord

and I like just doing what you wanted to

do and then saying Lord forgive me but I

mean like really making a conscious

decision to live for God that that would

at some way in some capacity keep you

from experiencing battles and the more

that I’ve been living this life and

walking this thing out

I recognize that battles come no matter

what side of the fence you’re on that

even if you’re living life in your own

way and making your own decisions that

there are still struggles and issues and

heartbreaks and and job loss and car

repossessions and then I also recognize

that on the other side of the battle

that when you start living your life for

the things of God and you start living

your life being led by the Spirit that

there is another guarantee of battle

but the difference between the two the

difference between the battles we face

when we’re living on our own and the

battles we face when we’re living for

God is that there is a protection there

is an insurance there is a guarantee

that that battle whatever it is isn’t

going to kill you

and this is important to me because I’ve

been studying and praying about this

idea of spiritual warfare and we’ve been

experiencing spiritual warfare and it’s

done something down on the inside of me

that has made me realize that I cannot

fight in the season of spiritual warfare

the same way that I fought before I

became spiritual it’s important for

those of us who are still growing and

evolving in our relationship with God to

know that because if you are not careful

you will try to battle spiritual warfare

the same way you battle somebody talking

about you not recognizing that there are

some things that are par for the course

there are some things that are just

going to be a part of you pursuing what

God has placed down on the inside of you

so for those of you who are taking notes

my subject is still fighting still

fighting and this is more about the the

literal terms still like being still and

knowing that God is in control that

there is a way that you can fight I feel

the presence of God there is a way that

you can fight where you don’t even have

to move at all that your very presence

that your very confidence about who was

gone ahead of you that you’re very

confident about what God has called you

to do that you can be still that you

cannot say a word and still be engaged

in battle because your very presence I

feel angels surrounding you protecting

you moving and navigating on your behalf

so much so that you recognize what’s

really a battle and what’s not you don’t

have to actually get in the position and

start wailing because I know how to

fight and be still I gotta say it the

way I see I want to show you all

Jehoshaphat this is going to be in 2nd

chronicles 20 and before we get into the

text I want to give you a little

background inbound king jehoshaphat he

is the king of Judah and the king of

Judah he’s a good king he’s made good

decisions the only time that he’s ever

had issues the only time he’s ever had

struggles is when he allowed who he was

an alliance with to influence his

decisions don’t worry that’s a whole

nother message and I won’t drive down

your street in that regard on today but

what I will say is this the only time

that he was ever off sinner is when he

allowed who he was in alliance with to

influence him instead of him influencing

them he was a good king he was a

righteous King he knew how to make the

right decisions for the territory that

he was in he was a good person he knew

what to think and what to believe and

what to say and what to prophesy over

his life and all of that was true until

he got aligned with someone who believed

differently than him instead of him

pulling them up they pulled him down and

then he found themselves engaged in

battles that he should have never been

in that’s a snack but that was for

somebody I know it was and so there’s a

moment when he is aligned with a

happened while he’s aligned with a have

a hab convinces him to go into battle

and it turns out terribly they end up

being just surrounded on all sides

things are going downhill but when he

was in the middle of the fight

Jehoshaphat remembered that he wasn’t by

himself and so he cried out to God in

the middle of the battle and God

protected him let me tell you what I

love about the God that I served that

even when I’m wrong he doesn’t ignore my

cries that even when I don’t do things

right and even when I find myself in

messed-up situations I can still cry out

to the Lord some of you are in here

because you did everything the right way

and you never had any issues some of us

are in here because when we got in the

middle of the fight and we recognized

that we had made a world that we could

not control we started crying out for

God we started saying God if you don’t

do it for me I don’t know how it’s gonna

happen god I did things my way I’m in a

battle

that I shouldn’t even be in and get you

sage me you protected me man I feel like

going in for just a minute because when

I look back over my life about the times

when I was in relationships and in jobs

and then opportunities that I knew I had

no business being here I cried out I

cried out to God I cried out when I was

surrounded I cried out when everyone

else was bleeding out beside me I cried

out when I was losing my mind I cried

out when I was scared I was scared

straight and I cried out to God I know

for some of you you want me to move on

but I’m just telling you for just a

minute that there are some of us in this

room who recognize that our cries have

power attached to them sometimes your

breakthrough won’t come until you open

up your mouth you’ve been waiting for

somebody to help you you’ve been waiting

for someone to save you and I hear God’s

saying if you would just cry out if you

would just finally admit that you don’t

know what you’re doing that you’re lost

and confused then I can come in and step

in and I can show you that you were

protected even when you were in battle

that I had you covered even when you got

in to the thing that is currently

hurting you scaring you shrinking you

and depressing here Jehoshaphat he got

in this battle without any guidance or

wisdom from God and he recognized in

that moment how great of a mistake that

was and so he cried out to God so he

cries out to God when he’s in the battle

that he shouldn’t have been in and then

do you know what’s even more difficult

than crying out to God when you’re in a

battle that you have no business being

in is when you’re in a battle that God

brings to you

alright here we go y’all ready okay

jehosophat got into a battle that he

entered into on his own regard he

started doing things the right way livin

the right way making the right decisions

and all of a sudden battle came to him

nobody told him that when you do things

the right way that it doesn’t save you

from battle that as a matter of fact it

attracts battle to you the first time

you got into the battle the second time

battle came to you both of them were in

God’s will and a part of God’s plan and

were manifested to birth who you are but

you need to recognize that there are

moments when you are following God and

battle comes to you and when battle

comes to you you have a decision to make

and instead of crying out to God you

gotta trust them and that’s harder than

crying out believe it or not because at

least when you cry out to God you know

you’re wrong and you have to cry out but

when battle comes to you it makes you

wonder if you were really doing things

the right way when battle comes to you

it makes you wonder if you’re really

qualified to do the thing that you’re

pursuing when battle comes to you and it

makes you question everything about who

you are and right before battle came you

were fine you knew you were doing

everything right you were proud of

yourself you were confident then all of

a sudden I’m in this struggle and I’m

trying to figure out why battle has come

to me and you have to trust God in spite

of the fact that you have been ambushed

when you least expected it at a time

when you were doing everything right and

so when we find Jehoshaphat he’s already

made in men’s with the fact that he

disobeyed God and he’s put all of his

ducks in a row and he’s doing everything

that he’s supposed to do and yet he

receives word that he is about to have

an attack happened to him in Judah and

someone we find him in second chronicles

20 and 15 he’s getting ready to fight

and so just to give you context he’s

gathered all of the profits and all of

the men and women and children into the

temple and he sits down and he starts

crying out to God the way he cried out

to God when he was in the middle of the

battle that he got himself into and he

starts reminding God who he is to him I

think that’s a major key that we have to

be willing to recognize when we are in

the middle of these battles that we

gotta remember who God is in the midst

of the battle sometimes the only way to

stay still and fight is to remember who

put you in the battle to remember that

you’re not in it on your own and so he

got into his prayer closet and he

started making a demand on God I mean I

feel like an old church mother I want to

show you all man if we just have one

prayer service just one night I believe

that some things could take place in the

spirit realm because there is nothing

like when you start getting in your

prayer closet I don’t mean the little

cue prayers like God is good god is

great and we thinking for our plate I

mean when you start saying god I need

you I need to understand what is going

on in this world I need to understand

what’s going on in my life if you don’t

show me I don’t know who I’m gonna be no

I’m not just gonna get up because the

timer has gone off I’m not just gonna

get it because I have something to do I

will not get off of my knees until you

send me a word until you send me some

interest somebody prayed themselves into

this room I won’t give up I’m not gonna

lose my mind in the midst of this

process Jehoshaphat got into his prayer

closet and he said God I gotta

understand why I’m under attack I don’t

just take bullets and say no this is

life no God you got to show me who am i

becoming as a result of being under

attack who am i becoming as a result of

these people coming up against me what

are you trying to show me what are you

trying to say I’m opening I’m willing to

hear and listen and grow and expand but

God if you don’t say it I don’t know

what I’m gonna do and second chronicles

20 and 15 he’s waiting to hear from God

and it says a man in the midst of them

he begins to speak out and he said

listen all you of Judah and you

inhabitants of Jerusalem

and you king jehoshaphat thus says the

Lord to you do not be afraid nor

dismayed because of this great multitude

for the battle is not yours but God for

those of you who quote that all the time

now you know where it is

take note so when somebody try to read

you like you don’t even know where that

is you say uh-uh

the first thing God wants Jehoshaphat to

understand is that this battle is not

over you

the first thing I need for you to

understand is that this battle is not

about you you’re in it but it’s not

about you if you don’t understand that

you’ll start asking questions like why

is this happening to me and you’ll miss

the fact that literally the battle is

not yours but God means that this battle

is about what God is doing on the inside

of me it’s not about me it’s important

that we really get that before I move on

because we have a tendency to make it

about us what am I doing wrong what

could I have done better why did they

turn their back on me but when you start

saying like oh I understand that this is

about what you’re doing on the inside of

me there’s an insurance that comes with

that there’s a confidence that comes

with knowing that this battle isn’t even

about me and the more that you make it

about me the more that you are

guaranteed to lose because on my own I

can do nothing but because this battle

is about what God is doing on the inside

of me when my name is in your mouth you

ought to be a little bit afraid because

the Godhead I serve and what he’s doing

in my life I’m letting him grow and

transform and change me this battle

isn’t about me it’s about God so God my

role in this battle is to see how can

you increase inside of me my role in

this battle is not to figure out how I

can shut down the rumors how I can get

things together my role is to allow you

to overflow an increase out of what

you’re doing on the inside of me the

first thing you have to know Jehoshaphat

in spite of what you did wrong in spite

of your disobedience in spite of the

decisions you made this

that sure in right now I feel that for

somebody I don’t know who it is this

battle that you’re in right now is a

result of what God is doing on the

inside of you in battle is a part of the

process battle is when you figure out

who God is battles when you recognize

what God has placed down on the inside

of you this battle is not yours it’s God

that means angels are backing you up

that means there’s a heaven edge of

protection with you that means that all

things are gonna work together when it’s

all said and done this battle is not

about you if it was about you I would

want you to be afraid but this battle is

about God sometimes you got to tell the

enemy that you didn’t pick a battle with

me because you might win if you pick a

battle against me I’m weird I’m crazy I

do all kinds of things but because I

know who God is and because I’ve linked

up with him when the enemy starts

picking on me I start getting stronger

in the spirit realm because I recognize

it’s not about me it’s about the God

that’s down on the inside of me some of

you have been wondering where you’re

going to get your win and I’m telling

you right now when God magnifies himself

on the inside of you then darkness will

push up off of you

when God magnifies himself on the inside

of you I feel the presence of God in

this room

somebody needs to allow God to be

unleashed fully I’m tired of

second-guessing myself I’m tired of

wondering what’s down on the inside of

me God

take control over my life let there be

overflow in everything that I do because

then when I engage in battle when I

engage in battle it can’t be about me

when I engage in battle I can’t do it on

my own when I prayed and I said without

you I am nothing I can do nothing I can

say nothing that can change lives but

with you I believe lies that be can be

transformed what I’m saying is me alone

with this mic is not enough to win the

battle of Darkness is being waged on

your life but because I’m full of the

Holy Ghost

but because I study and I pray in the

same Holy Ghost that allowed Jesus to

get off their cross and be resurrected

three days later it’s not just existing

down on the inside of me it’s available

to you too so the more that that same

Holy Ghost I mean that same fight I mean

that same willpower I mean that same

strength its magnified on the inside of

you you fight differently you fight

differently so he lays the foundation

and he says I need you to know that the

battle is not yours but God verse 16

continues and it says tomorrow go down

against them this was so confusing to me

as I was reading because I wanted to

shout off of the battle not being mine I

did I’m a church girl I love the battles

not yours its the Lord’s it’s a good

song it will take you in okay but then

the Spirit of the Lord says you still

have to go down to the battle

it’s not yours it’s God’s but you still

got to stand up to it it’s not yours as

God’s you’re guaranteed the mood to win

but the only way you win is if you go

down and stand up to it I love this

because he says to go down against them

that means don’t wait for this thing to

blow up don’t wait until it gets any

larger don’t wait until it’s tapping you

on the shoulder I want you to go right

down to where the attack is happening I

want you to go right down and tell

wherever that attack is happening that

this battle isn’t even mine it’s God

sometimes we wait for the thing to blow

up and then we want to handle it under

the guise of not being confrontational

but what I’m telling you is that the

Spirit of the Lord is a bit

confrontational and not like in the

petty ways that he has delivered us from

but God is not going to allow you to

live your life in such a way that you

ignore the attacks when you have the

power to in them God is not going to

allow you to keep praying that you would

get a revelation about a relationship

that he’s already given you a revelation

about he wants you to go down and attack

that thing God is not going to give you

another idea until you manifest the one

that he’s already given to you I feel

like somebody needs to go down against

fear that somebody needs to go down

against depression that somebody needs

to stop waiting to see if the

generational curse is gonna pop up in

their life and start digging in such a

way that they said no I want to see if

it’s in here I want to know if it’s down

on the inside of me and so he tells

Jehoshaphat go down against them they

will surely come up by the ascent he

says before they even come up I want you

to go down and you will find them at the

end of the brook before the wilderness

of Giroux and verse 17 continues it says

and you will not need to fight in this

battle the battle is not yours is God

you still have to go down there though

and he says position yourselves stand

still and see the salvation of the Lord

I realized that the reason why he wanted

them to go down wasn’t because he was

going to throw them in a fight at any

given moment it’s because he wanted them

to see how I’m on your side God please

give it to me the way you held it to me

earlier I want you to go down and

position yourself with such class and

grace in dignity and confidence that

this thing is not going to kill you and

I want you to stand still when war is

breaking out around you I want to talk

about steel fighting I know that there’s

another sermon where we can talk about

David and Goliath and getting our five

smooth stones but I want to talk about

how sometimes the only way we can fight

is to position ourselves and stand still

and wait to see the salvation of the

Lord show up because

he’s with you he’s with you

and it says Oh Judah and Jerusalem do

not fear or be dismayed tomorrow go out

against them for the Lord is with you

and so he wants them to be positioned in

such a way that they see when God shows

up that’s all I want for you I want you

to be positioned in such a way that

you’re not growing bitter while you’re

waiting to see when God shows up I want

you to be positioned in such a way that

you don’t question yourself when you’re

waiting on God to show up I want you to

be positioned in such a way that

everyone else around you can be

murmuring and complaining but because

you know that God is with you you’re

waiting to see the salvation of the Lord

while everyone else is sharpening their

tools they were getting ready for their

clamp backs and trying to figure out how

they’re gonna get revenge how they’re

trying to figure out how they’re gonna

get back on other people I want you to

be positioned in such a way that you

realize that that battle over there is

not even mine it’s God I’m just gonna

stand here and wait to see what happens

because I know that he’s with me and I

want to skip down to verse 22 because I

didn’t understand as I mentioned to you

if the battle is not ours it’s God why

are we going down and positioning

ourselves and we’re going to see the

salvation of the Lord but I felt like

couldn’t they get their hands dirty just

a little bit you know like why could

they fight and verse 22 says now when

they began to sing into praise they’re

positioned and waiting to see the

salvation of God show up in this battle

they are under attack they are already

beyond the gates they’re already in the

middle of a fighting they don’t even

realize when it’s going to pop off and

instead of sitting down there and

complaining and and whining they begin

to sing and to praise the Lord I really

feel like that there is a connection to

the heart posture of praise and worship

that releases ambushes against our

enemies

and I don’t just mean like our external

enemies I mean the enemy man when we

begin to lift our hands and worship

worship has to compete with depression

we want to talk about the battles on the

outside but for a minute I want to

consider the battles that take place on

the inside and the power of praise and

worship of singing and praising in the

middle of those battles that allows

ambushes to be released worship is

powerful when you open up your heart and

you say God search me when you open up

your heart and you say God I need you to

find something down on the inside of me

that is keeping me from my destiny it

sets an ambush against that thing that

is threatening your purpose it sets an

ambush against oppression it starts

giving you ideas like maybe I should go

to counseling like maybe I need to get

into rehab

because I opened myself up and worship

in such a way that I start thinking is

that friendship really for me is that

job opportunity really growing me I

opened myself up to worship and my life

started changing I started getting more

connected to the Spirit I know it’s not

always chewed and everybody thinks some

people are being extra when they worship

but there are some of us who know that I

need to open up myself up fully I don’t

have time to be cute I don’t have time

to have a cute little praise that makes

everybody feel good and feel comfortable

it’s something wrong with me I know

there is because I’m still here and

because I’m still here I know his work

isn’t finished and on the inside of me

and I’m not going to continue walking

around this world like I have it all

together

oh no search me Oh God I opened up

myself to you I feel that for somebody

can I just prophesy for a minute that

there will be a heart of worship that

takes over your life that there will be

a heart of worship where you’re no

longer ashamed and you don’t feel weird

and you begin to open up yourself in

such a way what you need to hear from

God God I need you to set an ambush on

my brokenness I need you to set an

ambush on my addiction I can’t do it on

my own that’s what happens in the text

they begin to sing

praise and ambushes are set on their

enemies I believe that God can do

something in your life when you begin to

sing and praise and open up yourself in

such a way that he can set an ambush God

killing anything in me that’s killing

the you in me God kill anything in me

even if I love it even if I think I

needed even if I think I can’t breathe

without it God if it is going to kill

what you place down on the inside of me

I am giving you full permission on a

Thursday night at 9:00 10:00 p.m. to set

an ambush on anything that’s done on the

inside of me that would dare go to war

with the destiny that’s on the inside of

me god I give you full permission to set

an ambush on addiction in this room I’ll

do it I’ll never have I’m next spiritual

leader they don’t even have to get with

me if they don’t want to god I’m giving

you permission to go to war with

everything going to war with them saying

I rebuke you how about that by the power

of the Holy Ghost

I demand and decree that you would lose

the lives of this generation the

president doesn’t even have to be in the

room because the God that I serve those

past Secret Service gotta declare and

decree but the power of the Holy Ghost

that you would set an ambush on

everything in this nation that was there

come up against what you want to do in

this life I give you full authority I

give you full reign God take control and

if you can do it through anybody do it

through me set an ambush down on the

inside of me until all I see is you

until there is a fire burning down in my

soul set an ambush until toxic

relationships are broken set an ambush

ambush in a cubicle I can set an ambush

on set just me into my god and a corner

all by ourselves

battle breaking out all around me and I

can set an ambush

y’all want to go skip to verse 24 for me

y’all stay standing I’m almost finished

I promise twenty-five why God what

battle was breaking out you guys have to

read the whole chapter it’s really

powerful their enemies end up turning on

one another and taking one another down

they never even have to get their hands

dirty that battle was never there but

what got me was in verse 25 it says when

Jehoshaphat and his people came to take

away their spoil there are all these

dead bodies on the ground they found

among the dead bodies an abundance of

valuables and precious jewelry which

they stripped off for themselves what am

I saying I’m saying that God had them

preserved their energy and the battle

that wasn’t theirs so that when it was

time to reap the rewards they wouldn’t

be tired from fighting vitals they

didn’t have anything to do with them all

I’m telling you is the beast eale while

you’re fighting because I feel like when

the battle is over that there’s going to

be treasures on dead bodies that they’re

going to be treasures that people left

behind that they’re going to be loans

waiting to produce your films that there

are going to be people who understand

your gifts and your talents what am I

saying that while they were praising and

worshipping and everyone else was in

battle God was making treasures follow

for the people who were in battle what

am I saying to you there is a treasure

somewhere with your name on it

be still and know that God is on your

side be still and know that your worship

is releasing ambushes and when the

ambush is over and the blood

field and the tears have been crying and

the depression has lifted off of you

that the job is still there that the

purpose could not be healed that the

pressure that God placed not on the

inside of you no man could give it and

therefore no man can take it away I

don’t care what battle you’re in when

you came in this room there is a

treasure attached to that battle and all

I wanted you to know this Thursday night

to learn that you’re still fighting even

when you’re praising that you’re still

fighting even when you’re worshiping I

know it doesn’t look like it I know

you’re not hustling and going after the

back all are you doing is getting your

heart right and be in a position where

God can use you I’m telling you that’s

the greatest fight that anyone can have

you’re still fighting you’re still

fighting God sees you you’re still

fighting I dragged myself in the church

because I’m still fighting I haven’t

given up on my dream yet I haven’t given

up on being the first one yet I’m still

fighting I’m still fighting I don’t see

how it’s gonna happen I don’t know how

you’re gonna open the door but I’m still

fighting because my heart is singing and

praising and I’m trusting your promises

and I know what you said about me and I

wasn’t crazy when you said and I know

you didn’t say it to anyone else in my

family but because you said it to me I’m

trusting you God I’m trusting you in

battle is breaking out all around me I’m

trusting you to help me recognize the

best way to fight this battle as I’ve

been speaking you realize that I’ve been

fighting all the wrong ways except for

in worship I thought that I could

control the narrative about my life so I

was chasing down rumors and opinions I

thought that I could expose something on

social media that would make me special

and I’ve been fighting all of the wrong

ways

thought relationships would be my come

up and it’s not working I’ve been

fighting all of the wrong ways and now I

want to know how to steal right now I

want to know how to live in a posture of

worship and praise that allows me to

steal fight you don’t need an invitation

to come this is your church you don’t

need an invitation to have an encounter

this is your guy you don’t need an

invitation for you to surrender in to

worship in the praise this is what we

came here to do I want to invite you

into this moment so that you can get the

right kind of fight the kind of fight

that doesn’t need someone to validate

you the kind of fight where all you need

is to hear from God I want to invite you

to this altar what we recognize that

this battle isn’t about me it’s about

what God lays down on the inside of me

and so I need to know how to be steel so

that I can protect what God lays down on

the inside of me if I get in battling it

makes what he plays down on the inside

of me toxic then I lost but if you

protect what you place down on the

inside of me even with war waging around

me then I could still I’m still fighting

I’m still fighting I’m still fighting

maybe you’re here and you don’t really

do church or religion and I didn’t

mention I was a church girl but I know

the Lord for real and I want to invite

you to be in relationship with him

because only he can give you the power

to stand up to the battles that are a

part of life

as I was reading this text I always like

to find a reflection of what God is

saying in the Old Testament in the New

Testament because I do believe that

there is a marriage there and as I was

praying I pictured Jesus on the cross

and I pictured Mary down at the foot of

the cross crying and John hugging on to

her and I pictured their earth trembling

and the Roman soldiers laughing I

pictured all of that how they thought it

was over this was the greatest battle

that they thought had come to an end

little did they know that while he was

on the cross with not a weapon in his

hand that he would still fight me that

he was fighting on the cross so that we

could have encounters like this he

wasn’t moving he wasn’t custon he wasn’t

saying anything and this was the

greatest battle they had unleashed

everything against our Jesus and he’s

standing on the cross and he’s still

fighting because he recognized that when

this battle is over and they put me in

that tomb I’m coming back for all of my

treasure and that’s you and that’s me

and so we just want to have a moment a

moment we’ll reinvade that level of

fight when we talk about the blood of

Jesus and how it has changed us and

transformed us it is us receiving an

impartation of that kind of fight I know

what the world tells me about fight I

know what culture tells me about fight

but I want to receive an impartation

that allows me to be still and still

fight that allows me to be on a cross

and still recognize that this too was

gonna work together for my good so

father God we thank you for Jesus God we

thank you so much for your son that

demonstrated for us perfectly how to

live in a world full of chaos and to

maintain our fight God it feels like all

hell is breaking loose around us it

feels like we don’t know who to trust or

what to do we don’t even know what steps

to take we don’t know what thoughts are

helping us versus what’s hurting us but

God we received a word tonight that we

believe has radically changed our lives

God we are asking that you would clear

the path

that we may recognize the right way to

fight that you would give us a piece in

the midst of the storm got our prophesy

over these your sons and daughter that

they would receive a divine revelation

of this battle being yours this battle

has your name on it

God I want them to start thinking the

battles right now that they thought are

bigger than them and then I want them to

size it up compared to you and I want

them to recognize that there is no

battle that is greater than what you

have in store for them so god I am

asking that you would increase in their

life that you would give them peace and

wisdom and understanding that you would

give them confidence about who they are

and who you’ve called them to be and God

I just want to rebuke in the name of

Jesus and the name that is above every

name at the name of Jesus your word says

that every knee shall bow and every

tongue shall confess I want to use that

name over warfare right now in the name

of Jesus I want to use that name over

everything that is coming up against

them right now I want to use the name of

Jesus the name that has been changing

lives for thousands of years I want to

use the name of Jesus over depression I

want to use the name of Jesus over loss

I want to use the name of Jesus over

grief God I’m asking that you would

cover cover every broken area with that

name that you would bring healing and

perspective and peace can you just

repeat after me Heavenly Father thank

you for Jesus thank you for making him

who knew no sin all of mine

all of my strengths all of my weakness

you placed in his body and nailed it to

the cross and when he was raised up free

and victorious my strength was raised up

to but my weakness was lost I lay hold

of that truth I receive it i decree it

as true i prophesy it over weakness and

i demand that i walk in it arrest every

thought that wages war against your

truth fill me with your spirit until i

overflow and change everything connected

to me while i still fight in jesus name
