I like to start with something funny.
00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:34.924

Bad eating sugar and junk food is. i've made a
00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:44.067
Food is. i've made a new year's resolution:
00:00:44.134 --> 00:00:45.668

(laughter) say it like you mean it.
00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:50.240
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible.
00:00:50.306 --> 00:00:51.741
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:00:51.808 --> 00:00:53.543
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:55.345
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says
00:00:55.411 --> 00:00:56.513
I can do what it says i can do.
00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:57.480
I can do. today, i will be taught
00:00:57.547 --> 00:00:58.982
Today, i will be taught the word of god.
00:00:59.048 --> 00:01:00.383
The word of god. i boldly confess:
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:02.018
I boldly confess: my mind is alert.
00:01:02.085 --> 00:01:03.520
My mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:03.586 --> 00:01:05.155
My heart is receptive. i will never be the same
00:01:05.221 --> 00:01:06.856
I will never be the same in jesus' name.
00:01:06.923 --> 00:01:08.491
In jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:08.558 --> 00:01:09.692
God bless you. i want to talk to you
00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:11.561
I want to talk to you today about i declare.
00:01:11.628 --> 00:01:14.597
Today about i declare. words are powerful.
00:01:14.664 --> 00:01:16.332
Words are powerful. they have the ability to
00:01:16.399 --> 00:01:17.767
They have the ability to help set the direction
00:01:17.834 --> 00:01:19.068
Help set the direction for our lives.
00:01:19.135 --> 00:01:20.537
For our lives. when they're spoken over
00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:21.671
When they're spoken over us by someone that has
00:01:21.738 --> 00:01:23.072
Us by someone that has authority, like a parent,
00:01:23.139 --> 00:01:25.275
Authority, like a parent, a coach, a mentor, they
00:01:25.341 --> 00:01:27.177
A coach, a mentor, they can determine our destiny.
00:01:27.243 --> 00:01:29.379
Can determine our destiny. the reason some people
00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:30.713
The reason some people aren't reaching their
00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:31.381
Aren't reaching their potential is they've never
00:01:31.447 --> 00:01:33.183
Potential is they've never had the blessing spoken
00:01:33.249 --> 00:01:35.151
Had the blessing spoken over them.
00:01:35.218 --> 00:01:36.252
Over them. they've never had anyone
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.487
They've never had anyone declare what they can
00:01:37.554 --> 00:01:38.888
Declare what they can become, who god says they
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.857
Become, who god says they are, how they have seeds
00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:42.458
Are, how they have seeds of greatness.
00:01:42.525 --> 00:01:43.960
Of greatness. isaiah said, "the spirit
00:01:44.027 --> 00:01:45.929
Isaiah said, "the spirit of the lord is upon me to
00:01:45.995 --> 00:01:47.730
Of the lord is upon me to declare the year of god's
00:01:47.797 --> 00:01:49.999
Declare the year of god's favor, to announce freedom
00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:52.101
Favor, to announce freedom to the captives, the
00:01:52.168 --> 00:01:53.403
To the captives, the recovery of sight to the
00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:54.704
Recovery of sight to the blind, good news to the
00:01:54.771 --> 00:01:56.306
Blind, good news to the poor."
00:01:56.372 --> 00:01:57.307
Poor." isaiah went around declaring
00:01:57.373 --> 00:01:59.075
Isaiah went around declaring favor, freedom, victory.
00:01:59.142 --> 00:02:01.678
Favor, freedom, victory. all those that would receive
00:02:01.744 --> 00:02:02.979
All those that would receive it, those that would let
00:02:03.046 --> 00:02:04.247
It, those that would let those words take root, would
00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:05.882
Those words take root, would see it come to pass.
00:02:05.949 --> 00:02:07.750
See it come to pass. hundreds of years later,
00:02:07.817 --> 00:02:09.419
Hundreds of years later, jesus was in a synagogue
00:02:09.485 --> 00:02:11.120
Jesus was in a synagogue in nazareth.
00:02:11.187 --> 00:02:12.322
In nazareth. he picked up a scroll that
00:02:12.388 --> 00:02:13.890
He picked up a scroll that had the writings of isaiah.
00:02:13.957 --> 00:02:16.092
Had the writings of isaiah. of all the things he could
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.327
Of all the things he could have read, hundreds of
00:02:17.393 --> 00:02:18.761
Have read, hundreds of different passages, he found
00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:20.630
Different passages, he found this same place and read
00:02:20.697 --> 00:02:22.298
This same place and read it to the people.
00:02:22.365 --> 00:02:23.600
It to the people. "the spirit of the lord
00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:24.801
"the spirit of the lord is upon me to declare the
00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:26.970
Is upon me to declare the year of god's favor."
00:02:27.036 --> 00:02:29.138
Year of god's favor." jesus knew the power of
00:02:29.205 --> 00:02:30.707
Jesus knew the power of declaring.
00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:31.941
Declaring. he knew you have to hear
00:02:32.008 --> 00:02:33.576
He knew you have to hear victory spoken over you,
00:02:33.643 --> 00:02:35.578
Victory spoken over you, you have to hear abundance,
00:02:35.645 --> 00:02:37.146
You have to hear abundance, healing, freedom for it
00:02:37.213 --> 00:02:38.815
Healing, freedom for it to come to pass.
00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:40.350
To come to pass. you may have heard it in the
00:02:40.416 --> 00:02:41.451
You may have heard it in the past, but life happens.
00:02:41.517 --> 00:02:43.886
Past, but life happens. 2020 may have taken your
00:02:43.953 --> 00:02:45.288
2020 may have taken your passion. you go through
00:02:45.355 --> 00:02:46.923
Passion. you go through disappointments, a dream
00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:48.691
Disappointments, a dream didn't work out, you're
00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:50.093
Didn't work out, you're still believing to meet
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.194
Still believing to meet the right person and the
00:02:51.261 --> 00:02:52.562
The right person and the thoughts of doubt come.
00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:54.163
Thoughts of doubt come. "it's never going to happen,
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:55.932
"it's never going to happen, you're never going to get
00:02:55.999 --> 00:02:56.766
You're never going to get well, you've seen your best
00:02:56.833 --> 00:02:58.434
Well, you've seen your best days."
00:02:58.501 --> 00:02:59.235
Days." the negative starts to
00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:00.637
The negative starts to drown out what was spoken
00:03:00.703 --> 00:03:02.372
Drown out what was spoken over you. that's why you
00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:04.140
Over you. that's why you need a fresh blessing.
00:03:04.207 --> 00:03:06.643
Need a fresh blessing. you need fresh favor spoken
00:03:06.709 --> 00:03:08.511
You need fresh favor spoken over your life.
00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:09.479
Over your life. you need a fresh anointing.

You need a fresh anointing. that's what i'm going

That's what i'm going to do today.
00:03:12.482 --> 00:03:13.816
To do today. like isaiah declared the
00:03:13.883 --> 00:03:15.618
Like isaiah declared the blessing, jesus thought
00:03:15.685 --> 00:03:17.487
Blessing, jesus thought it was so important that
00:03:17.553 --> 00:03:18.788
It was so important that he repeated it.
00:03:18.855 --> 00:03:20.356
He repeated it. i'm going to declare some
00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:21.557
I'm going to declare some things that god says about
00:03:21.624 --> 00:03:23.459
Things that god says about you. if you will let
00:03:23.526 --> 00:03:25.061
You. if you will let these words take root,
00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.796
These words take root, if you will receive them
00:03:26.863 --> 00:03:27.930
If you will receive them into your spirit, they
00:03:27.997 --> 00:03:29.198
Into your spirit, they are going to put you on
00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:30.233

Relationships, to new levels of your destiny.
00:03:35.505 --> 00:03:37.674
Levels of your destiny. these words have the power
00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:39.509
These words have the power to ignite something in your
00:03:39.575 --> 00:03:41.144
To ignite something in your spirit, to wake up dreams,
00:03:41.210 --> 00:03:43.713
Spirit, to wake up dreams, to unleash the favor, the
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.115
To unleash the favor, the gifts, the potential that
00:03:46.182 --> 00:03:47.984
Gifts, the potential that god put in you.
00:03:48.051 --> 00:03:49.786
God put in you. when jesus chose his
00:03:49.852 --> 00:03:50.987
When jesus chose his disciples, they were
00:03:51.054 --> 00:03:52.455
Disciples, they were ordinary people.
00:03:52.522 --> 00:03:53.790
Ordinary people. a fisherman, a tax
00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:55.491
A fisherman, a tax collector, carpenters.
00:03:55.558 --> 00:03:57.293
Collector, carpenters. yet he looked at them and
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.328
Yet he looked at them and said, "you are the light of
00:03:58.394 --> 00:04:00.163
Said, "you are the light of the world, you are the salt
00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:02.131
The world, you are the salt of the earth."
00:04:02.198 --> 00:04:03.366
Of the earth." they could have thought,
00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:04.334
They could have thought, "what's he talking about,
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:05.802
"what's he talking about, there's nothing special
00:04:05.868 --> 00:04:06.769
There's nothing special about us."
00:04:06.836 --> 00:04:08.037
About us." their reasoning said, he has
00:04:08.104 --> 00:04:09.806
Their reasoning said, he has the wrong person, but down
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:11.908
The wrong person, but down in their spirit something
00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:13.509
In their spirit something ignited, something came
00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:15.244
Ignited, something came alive.
00:04:15.311 --> 00:04:16.312
Alive. their seeds of greatness
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:17.747
Their seeds of greatness began to take root, they
00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:19.515
Began to take root, they felt faith rising up and
00:04:19.582 --> 00:04:21.351
Felt faith rising up and destiny calling them.
00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:23.353
Destiny calling them. instead of talking
00:04:23.419 --> 00:04:24.153
Instead of talking themselves out of it they
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:25.421
Themselves out of it they got in agreement.
00:04:25.488 --> 00:04:26.723
Got in agreement. "yes, we're the light of the
00:04:26.789 --> 00:04:28.124
"yes, we're the light of the world; yes, we're going to
00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:29.859
World; yes, we're going to leave our mark, we're going
00:04:29.926 --> 00:04:31.294
Leave our mark, we're going to impact our generation."
00:04:31.361 --> 00:04:33.930
To impact our generation." jesus spoke the blessing, he
00:04:33.996 --> 00:04:36.332
Jesus spoke the blessing, he declared favor and influence
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.534
Declared favor and influence and because they agreed,
00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:40.370
And because they agreed, they saw it come to pass.
00:04:40.436 --> 00:04:42.372
They saw it come to pass. they're still affecting us,
00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:43.773
They're still affecting us, two thousand years later.
00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:46.075
Two thousand years later. don't talk yourself out of
00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:47.910
Don't talk yourself out of this favor.
00:04:47.977 --> 00:04:49.278
This favor. don't think of all the
00:04:49.345 --> 00:04:50.113
Don't think of all the reasons this can't happen
00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:51.714
Reasons this can't happen for you.
00:04:51.781 --> 00:04:52.782
For you. the blessing i'm about to
00:04:52.849 --> 00:04:54.183
The blessing i'm about to speak is more powerful than
00:04:54.250 --> 00:04:56.753
Speak is more powerful than any force that's trying to
00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:58.054
Any force that's trying to hold you back.
00:04:58.121 --> 00:04:59.455
Hold you back. the blessing is not
00:04:59.522 --> 00:05:00.690
The blessing is not cancelled out because of
00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:02.325
Cancelled out because of your background, how you
00:05:02.392 --> 00:05:04.093
Your background, how you were raised, your education.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.729
Were raised, your education. it's not stopped by mistakes
00:05:06.796 --> 00:05:08.531
It's not stopped by mistakes you've made, by how long
00:05:08.598 --> 00:05:10.233
You've made, by how long it's been, by
00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:11.300
It's been, by disappointments.
00:05:11.367 --> 00:05:12.635
Disappointments. the blessing is a
00:05:12.702 --> 00:05:14.070
The blessing is a supernatural empowerment,
00:05:14.137 --> 00:05:16.239
Supernatural empowerment, a divine favor that will

00:10:28.551 --> 00:10:30.019
Business, but nothing worked out, nobody would help you.
00:10:30.086 --> 00:10:31.987
Out, nobody would help you. you think you've missed your

Chance, by this time next year, it's going to be up
00:10:35.091 --> 00:10:36.058
Year, it's going to be up and running.
00:10:36.125 --> 00:10:37.026
And running. things are going to fall
00:10:37.093 --> 00:10:37.960
Things are going to fall into place.
00:10:38.027 --> 00:10:39.628
Into place. you've struggled with that
00:10:39.695 --> 00:10:40.696
You've struggled with that sickness a long time; you've
00:10:40.763 --> 00:10:42.898
Sickness a long time; you've accepted that you'll have
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:43.899
Accepted that you'll have to live with it.
00:10:43.966 --> 00:10:44.967

To be healthy and whole. you're going to feel better
00:10:49.972 --> 00:10:50.740
You're going to feel better than you've ever felt.

Than you've ever felt. you're going to run and not
00:10:52.074 --> 00:10:53.642
You're going to run and not be weary, you're going to
00:10:53.709 --> 00:10:55.044
Be weary, you're going to walk and not faint.
00:10:55.111 --> 00:10:57.546
Walk and not faint. when job was in the middle
00:10:57.613 --> 00:10:58.881
When job was in the middle of the greatest battle of
00:10:58.948 --> 00:11:00.549
Of the greatest battle of his life, lost his health,
00:11:00.616 --> 00:11:02.885
His life, lost his health, his family, his business.
00:11:02.952 --> 00:11:04.920
His family, his business. as he was sitting in the
00:11:04.987 --> 00:11:06.188
As he was sitting in the ashes, thinking he was done,
00:11:06.255 --> 00:11:08.958
Ashes, thinking he was done, god said, "i will yet fill
00:11:09.024 --> 00:11:11.227
God said, "i will yet fill your mouth with laughter."
00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:13.429
Your mouth with laughter." that seemed unbelievable.
00:11:13.496 --> 00:11:15.431
That seemed unbelievable. i'm sure job thought, "what
00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:16.766
I'm sure job thought, "what is he talking about.
00:11:16.832 --> 00:11:18.300
Is he talking about. i'll never laugh again.
00:11:18.367 --> 00:11:19.568
I'll never laugh again. my world has fallen apart."
00:11:19.635 --> 00:11:21.771
My world has fallen apart." but down deep he let those
00:11:21.837 --> 00:11:23.606
But down deep he let those words take root.
00:11:23.672 --> 00:11:25.174
Words take root. "this is not the end.
00:11:25.241 --> 00:11:26.742
"this is not the end. god is still on the throne.
00:11:26.809 --> 00:11:28.444
God is still on the throne. he has the final say."
00:11:28.511 --> 00:11:30.479
He has the final say." instead of complaining, job
00:11:30.546 --> 00:11:32.214
Instead of complaining, job looked up and said, "i know
00:11:32.281 --> 00:11:34.150
Looked up and said, "i know my redeemer lives."
00:11:34.216 --> 00:11:36.318
My redeemer lives." he was saying in effect,
00:11:36.385 --> 00:11:38.187
He was saying in effect, "god, if you declare there
00:11:38.254 --> 00:11:40.389
"god, if you declare there will be great laughter in my
00:11:40.456 --> 00:11:41.991
Will be great laughter in my house, it seems too good to
00:11:42.057 --> 00:11:44.026
House, it seems too good to be true, but god, i'm bold
00:11:44.093 --> 00:11:45.661
Be true, but god, i'm bold enough to believe it."
00:11:45.728 --> 00:11:47.563
Enough to believe it." some scholars say that job's
00:11:47.630 --> 00:11:49.698
Some scholars say that job's whole trial, all that
00:11:49.765 --> 00:11:51.634
Whole trial, all that difficulty, only lasted
00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:52.701
Difficulty, only lasted nine months.
00:11:52.768 --> 00:11:55.838
Nine months. you may have things coming
00:11:55.905 --> 00:11:57.006

Year, it's going to be a different story.
00:12:06.315 --> 00:12:07.750
Different story. what you thought was
00:12:07.817 --> 00:12:08.751
What you thought was permanent is only temporary.
00:12:08.818 --> 00:12:11.287
Permanent is only temporary. what looks too big, you will
00:12:11.353 --> 00:12:13.155
What looks too big, you will defeat.
00:12:13.222 --> 00:12:14.356
Defeat. what seems impossible,
00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:15.724
What seems impossible, you will accomplish.
00:12:15.791 --> 00:12:17.693
You will accomplish. how could this happen, there
00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:19.261

Captives. good news to those that

Good news to those that are struggling.
00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:30.239
Are struggling. the struggle is not how
00:12:30.306 --> 00:12:31.740
The struggle is not how your story ends.
00:12:31.807 --> 00:12:33.342
Your story ends. by this time next year,
00:12:33.409 --> 00:12:35.077
By this time next year, you're going to see god
00:12:35.144 --> 00:12:36.312
You're going to see god turn it around.
00:12:36.378 --> 00:12:38.280
Turn it around. your mind may tell you,
00:12:38.347 --> 00:12:39.682
Your mind may tell you, "this is too good to be
00:12:39.748 --> 00:12:40.716
"this is too good to be true."
00:12:40.783 --> 00:12:41.617
True." that's the way the lady
00:12:41.684 --> 00:12:42.651
That's the way the lady thought when elisha told
00:12:42.718 --> 00:12:44.386
Thought when elisha told her she was going to have
00:12:44.453 --> 00:12:45.688
Her she was going to have a baby.
00:12:45.754 --> 00:12:46.355
A baby. if she would have stayed
00:12:46.422 --> 00:12:47.823
If she would have stayed negative, doubting, she
00:12:47.890 --> 00:12:49.625
Negative, doubting, she would have stopped the
00:12:49.692 --> 00:12:50.359
Would have stopped the promise.
00:12:50.426 --> 00:12:51.594
Promise. what god is speaking over
00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:52.995
What god is speaking over you may seem too good to
00:12:53.062 --> 00:12:54.830
You may seem too good to be true.
00:12:54.897 --> 00:12:55.464
Be true. it's hard for you to accept
00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:57.266
It's hard for you to accept it, how could this happen.
00:12:57.333 --> 00:12:59.235
It, how could this happen. the right attitude is, "god,
00:12:59.301 --> 00:13:01.136
The right attitude is, "god, i don't see a way, but i
00:13:01.203 --> 00:13:02.905
I don't see a way, but i know you have a way.
00:13:02.972 --> 00:13:04.506
Know you have a way. if you declare it,
00:13:04.573 --> 00:13:05.808
If you declare it, i'm going to receive it.
00:13:05.875 --> 00:13:07.376
I'm going to receive it. i believe it's my year of

To show out in my life, you're going to take me

You're going to take me where i couldn't go on my

Where i couldn't go on my own, you're going to free

Own, you're going to free me from things that look
00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:18.721
Me from things that look permanent.
00:13:18.787 --> 00:13:20.155
Permanent. the scripture says, "the
00:13:20.222 --> 00:13:21.490
The scripture says, "the strength of the wicked is
00:13:21.557 --> 00:13:23.359
Strength of the wicked is being cut off and the power
00:13:23.425 --> 00:13:25.394
Being cut off and the power of the godly has been

Of the godly has been increased."

Increased." the strength of what's
00:13:28.364 --> 00:13:29.465
The strength of what's coming against you has been
00:13:29.531 --> 00:13:30.966
Coming against you has been cut off.
00:13:31.033 --> 00:13:32.101
Cut off. now everyday speak victory

"father, thank you that i am free, that this addiction

Free, that this addiction does not control me.
00:13:37.873 --> 00:13:39.341
Does not control me. i will become all you've
00:13:39.408 --> 00:13:40.943
I will become all you've created me to be."
00:13:41.010 --> 00:13:43.078
Created me to be." i talked to a man that had
00:13:43.145 --> 00:13:44.246
I talked to a man that had a problem with his temper.
00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:46.015
A problem with his temper. he said, "joel, i get angry
00:13:46.081 --> 00:13:47.416
He said, "joel, i get angry so easily.
00:13:47.483 --> 00:13:48.484
So easily. i don't know what's wrong
00:13:48.550 --> 00:13:49.518
I don't know what's wrong with me."
00:13:49.585 --> 00:13:50.519
With me." he told how his father was
00:13:50.586 --> 00:13:52.054
He told how his father was the same way and his
00:13:52.121 --> 00:13:53.689
The same way and his grandfather was very hot
00:13:53.756 --> 00:13:55.224
Grandfather was very hot tempered.
00:13:55.291 --> 00:13:56.225
Tempered. these spirits can get in our
00:13:56.292 --> 00:13:57.993
These spirits can get in our family lines and travel from
00:13:58.060 --> 00:14:00.095
Family lines and travel from generation to generation.
00:14:00.162 --> 00:14:02.464
Generation to generation. i've seen people that come
00:14:02.531 --> 00:14:03.933
I've seen people that come from parents that were
00:14:03.999 --> 00:14:04.800
From parents that were divorced, they end up
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:06.302
Divorced, they end up divorced.
00:14:06.368 --> 00:14:07.303
Divorced. you look back generations
00:14:07.369 --> 00:14:09.104
You look back generations and see a pattern,
00:14:09.171 --> 00:14:10.406
And see a pattern, practically everyone went
00:14:10.472 --> 00:14:11.707
Practically everyone went through a divorce.
00:14:11.774 --> 00:14:12.975
Through a divorce. it's not a coincidence that
00:14:13.042 --> 00:14:14.543
It's not a coincidence that we struggle in certain
00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:15.945
We struggle in certain areas.
00:14:16.011 --> 00:14:17.413
Areas. maybe you can't seem to get
00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:19.048
Maybe you can't seem to get ahead.
00:14:19.114 --> 00:14:20.082
Ahead. you take one step forward
00:14:20.149 --> 00:14:21.684
You take one step forward and it's two steps backward.
00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:23.519
And it's two steps backward. just when you're ready to
00:14:23.585 --> 00:14:24.486
Just when you're ready to move up, you have an
00:14:24.553 --> 00:14:25.921
Move up, you have an unexpected expense.
00:14:25.988 --> 00:14:27.756
Unexpected expense. something goes wrong.
00:14:27.823 --> 00:14:29.291
Something goes wrong. takes your funds.
00:14:29.358 --> 00:14:30.326
Takes your funds. it's always something.
00:14:30.392 --> 00:14:32.127
It's always something. that's not just bad luck,
00:14:32.194 --> 00:14:34.163
That's not just bad luck, those are generational
00:14:34.229 --> 00:14:35.497
Those are generational forces that are limiting
00:14:35.564 --> 00:14:37.266
Forces that are limiting you.
00:14:37.333 --> 00:14:38.067
You. they're keeping you from
00:14:38.133 --> 00:14:39.034
They're keeping you from stepping into the abundance
00:14:39.101 --> 00:14:40.970
Stepping into the abundance and victory that belongs to
00:14:41.036 --> 00:14:42.571
And victory that belongs to you.
00:14:42.638 --> 00:14:43.539
You. this will continue going to
00:14:43.605 --> 00:14:45.407
This will continue going to the next generation and the
00:14:45.474 --> 00:14:47.343
The next generation and the next until someone rises up
00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:50.045
Next until someone rises up and puts an end to it.
00:14:50.112 --> 00:14:51.847
And puts an end to it. i believe that someone is
00:14:51.914 --> 00:14:53.916
I believe that someone is you.
00:14:53.983 --> 00:14:54.616
You. you wouldn't be hearing this
00:14:54.683 --> 00:14:56.685
You wouldn't be hearing this if you weren't called to
00:14:56.752 --> 00:14:57.786
If you weren't called to make a difference.
00:14:57.853 --> 00:14:59.388
Make a difference. you've been raised up for
00:14:59.455 --> 00:15:00.923
You've been raised up for such a time as this.

Self-esteem, poverty, not having enough, those forces
00:15:06.595 --> 00:15:07.196
Having enough, those forces will no longer have any
