I like to start with
00:00:15.004 --> 00:00:15.538
I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:15.605 --> 00:00:16.806
Something funny. i heard about this pastor. he found a
00:00:16.873 --> 00:00:18.641
About this pastor. he found a dead mule on the church
00:00:18.708 --> 00:00:20.110
Dead mule on the church grounds. he called the health
00:00:20.176 --> 00:00:21.811
Grounds. he called the health department, they said they
00:00:21.878 --> 00:00:23.146
Department, they said they couldn't pick it up without
00:00:23.213 --> 00:00:24.481
Couldn't pick it up without authorization from the mayor.
00:00:24.547 --> 00:00:26.216
Authorization from the mayor. well, the mayor was known to
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:27.317
Well, the mayor was known to be rude and hard to get along
00:00:27.383 --> 00:00:28.852
Be rude and hard to get along with. when the pastor called,
00:00:28.918 --> 00:00:30.820
With. when the pastor called, the mayor didn't disappoint.
00:00:30.887 --> 00:00:32.088
The mayor didn't disappoint. he started ranting and
00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:33.223
He started ranting and raving. he finally said,
00:00:33.289 --> 00:00:35.291
Raving. he finally said, “isn't it your job to bury
00:00:35.358 --> 00:00:36.493
“isn't it your job to bury the dead? why you even
00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:37.927
The dead? why you even calling me?” the pastor asked
00:00:37.994 --> 00:00:40.063
Calling me?” the pastor asked god to give him the right
00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:41.064
God to give him the right response. he said, “yes
00:00:41.131 --> 00:00:42.298
Response. he said, “yes mayor, it is my job to bury
00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:44.000
Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but i always like
00:00:44.067 --> 00:00:45.535
The dead, but i always like to notify the next of kin
00:00:45.602 --> 00:00:47.237
To notify the next of kin first.” (laughter)
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:49.072
First.” (laughter) say it like you mean it. this
00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:50.573
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am what it
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.308
Is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it
00:00:52.375 --> 00:00:53.910
Says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it
00:00:53.977 --> 00:00:55.778
Says i have. i can do what it says i can do. today, i will
00:00:55.845 --> 00:00:57.680
Says i can do. today, i will be taught the word of god. i
00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:59.582
Be taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is
00:00:59.649 --> 00:01:01.618
Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:03.820
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:03.887 --> 00:01:05.622
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:07.857
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:07.924 --> 00:01:09.926
I want to talk to you today about pronounce before you
00:01:09.993 --> 00:01:11.728
About pronounce before you possess. all through the
00:01:11.794 --> 00:01:13.730
Possess. all through the scripture, god has given us
00:01:13.796 --> 00:01:15.165
Scripture, god has given us incredible promises of
00:01:15.231 --> 00:01:16.666
Incredible promises of healing, freedom, abundance.
00:01:16.733 --> 00:01:19.469
Healing, freedom, abundance. it's important to believe the
00:01:19.536 --> 00:01:20.837
It's important to believe the promise, get it down in your
00:01:20.904 --> 00:01:22.672
Promise, get it down in your spirit, but believing alone
00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:24.908
Spirit, but believing alone is not enough. what activates
00:01:24.974 --> 00:01:27.210
Is not enough. what activates the promise is by speaking
00:01:27.277 --> 00:01:28.878
The promise is by speaking it. by declaring what god
00:01:28.945 --> 00:01:30.847
It. by declaring what god says about you. your words
00:01:30.914 --> 00:01:32.949
Says about you. your words have power. they set things
00:01:33.016 --> 00:01:34.918
Have power. they set things into motion. either blessing,
00:01:34.984 --> 00:01:37.220
Into motion. either blessing, favor, breakthroughs, or
00:01:37.287 --> 00:01:39.322
Favor, breakthroughs, or sickness, lack, can't do it.
00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:41.991
Sickness, lack, can't do it. one of the last times moses
00:01:42.058 --> 00:01:43.626
One of the last times moses spoke to the israelites was
00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:45.261
Spoke to the israelites was in deuteronomy 11. he told
00:01:45.328 --> 00:01:47.263
In deuteronomy 11. he told them how god was going to
00:01:47.330 --> 00:01:48.364
Them how god was going to bring them into the promised
00:01:48.431 --> 00:01:49.599
Bring them into the promised land and how they would have
00:01:49.666 --> 00:01:50.967
Land and how they would have houses they didn't build, all
00:01:51.034 --> 00:01:52.936
Houses they didn't build, all these crops and livestock,
00:01:53.002 --> 00:01:54.504
These crops and livestock, all these amazing things. but
00:01:54.571 --> 00:01:56.372
All these amazing things. but he said there's a couple
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:57.140
He said there's a couple conditions, number one, you
00:01:57.207 --> 00:01:59.075
Conditions, number one, you must obey the lord your god,
00:01:59.142 --> 00:02:00.643
Must obey the lord your god, and number two, verse 29,
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:03.446
And number two, verse 29, “when the lord god brings you
00:02:03.513 --> 00:02:04.914
“when the lord god brings you into the land to possess it,
00:02:04.981 --> 00:02:06.950
Into the land to possess it, you must pronounce a
00:02:07.016 --> 00:02:08.151
You must pronounce a blessing.” he was saying,
00:02:08.218 --> 00:02:10.520
Blessing.” he was saying, “the blessing, the promised
00:02:10.587 --> 00:02:12.222
“the blessing, the promised land, the houses you didn't
00:02:12.288 --> 00:02:13.890
Land, the houses you didn't build, it's not going to
00:02:13.957 --> 00:02:15.258
Build, it's not going to happen just because i
00:02:15.325 --> 00:02:16.492
Happen just because i promised it, you have to
00:02:16.559 --> 00:02:17.961
Promised it, you have to declare it.” you have to
00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:19.329
Declare it.” you have to pronounce the blessing,
00:02:19.395 --> 00:02:21.097
Pronounce the blessing, before you receive the
00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:22.065
Before you receive the blessing. you have to
00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:23.600
Blessing. you have to pronounce your healing,
00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:24.901
Pronounce your healing, before you get well. you have
00:02:24.968 --> 00:02:26.769
Before you get well. you have to pronounce the
00:02:26.836 --> 00:02:27.503
To pronounce the breakthrough, before you get
00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:28.905
Breakthrough, before you get free. pronounce the
00:02:28.972 --> 00:02:30.473
Free. pronounce the abundance, while you're still
00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:32.208
Abundance, while you're still in not enough. the promise is
00:02:32.275 --> 00:02:34.644
In not enough. the promise is an invitation. it's not a
00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:36.312
An invitation. it's not a possession. it's not done
00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:38.081
Possession. it's not done just because god said it.
00:02:38.147 --> 00:02:39.749
Just because god said it. it's an offer. it's god
00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:41.651
It's an offer. it's god saying, “this is what i want
00:02:41.718 --> 00:02:43.019
Saying, “this is what i want to do for you. this is what i
00:02:43.086 --> 00:02:44.687
To do for you. this is what i have in store, but you have
00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:46.422
Have in store, but you have to get your words in
00:02:46.489 --> 00:02:47.390
To get your words in agreement and speak what i
00:02:47.457 --> 00:02:48.992
Agreement and speak what i say about you.”
00:02:49.058 --> 00:02:50.660
Say about you.” this is where the israelites
00:02:50.727 --> 00:02:51.761
This is where the israelites missed it. the first time
00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:53.162
Missed it. the first time they came to the promised
00:02:53.229 --> 00:02:54.197
They came to the promised land, the parents of these
00:02:54.264 --> 00:02:55.531
Land, the parents of these people, god gave them this
00:02:55.598 --> 00:02:57.033
People, god gave them this same promise. “this is your
00:02:57.100 --> 00:02:58.701
Same promise. “this is your land. you're going to have
00:02:58.768 --> 00:03:00.236
Land. you're going to have these houses, these
00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.638
These houses, these vineyards, fruit so big that
00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:04.540
Vineyards, fruit so big that the cluster of grapes take
00:03:04.607 --> 00:03:05.675
The cluster of grapes take two people to carry.” god
00:03:05.742 --> 00:03:07.243
Two people to carry.” god said, “i'm going fight your
00:03:07.310 --> 00:03:08.011
Said, “i'm going fight your battle, defeat these enemies
00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:09.746
Battle, defeat these enemies and give you this land.” they
00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:11.981
And give you this land.” they had this incredible promise.
00:03:12.048 --> 00:03:13.950
Had this incredible promise. all they had to do was get in
00:03:14.017 --> 00:03:15.151
All they had to do was get in agreement. “lord thank you
00:03:15.218 --> 00:03:16.853
Agreement. “lord thank you that this is our land, that
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.354
That this is our land, that we are well able to take it,
00:03:18.421 --> 00:03:19.789
We are well able to take it, that you are fighting our
00:03:19.856 --> 00:03:20.623
That you are fighting our battles.” that's what
00:03:20.690 --> 00:03:22.358
Battles.” that's what activates the promise,
00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:23.893
Activates the promise, pronouncing the blessing. but
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.995
Pronouncing the blessing. but they did just the opposite.
00:03:26.062 --> 00:03:27.430
They did just the opposite. they looked at the people
00:03:27.497 --> 00:03:28.197
They looked at the people living there and saw how big
00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:29.932
Living there and saw how big they were. instead of
00:03:29.999 --> 00:03:31.234
They were. instead of pronouncing a blessing, they
00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:32.802
Pronouncing a blessing, they said, “we don't have a
00:03:32.869 --> 00:03:33.436
Said, “we don't have a chance. the giants are too
00:03:33.503 --> 00:03:35.038
Chance. the giants are too big.” even though god
00:03:35.104 --> 00:03:36.739
Big.” even though god promised them the land, even
00:03:36.806 --> 00:03:38.741
Promised them the land, even though he said it's yours,
00:03:38.808 --> 00:03:40.209
Though he said it's yours, they never did go in. not
00:03:40.276 --> 00:03:41.878
They never did go in. not because of giants, not
00:03:41.944 --> 00:03:43.346
Because of giants, not because of walls, but because
00:03:43.413 --> 00:03:45.248
Because of walls, but because of their words. your words
00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:47.283
Of their words. your words are deciding whether you
00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:48.518
Are deciding whether you inherit the promises or
00:03:48.584 --> 00:03:50.386
Inherit the promises or whether you forfeit the
00:03:50.453 --> 00:03:51.254
Whether you forfeit the promises. what are you saying
00:03:51.321 --> 00:03:53.489
Promises. what are you saying about what god has promised
00:03:53.556 --> 00:03:54.757
You.
00:03:54.857 --> 00:03:55.792
God said, “he's restoring
00:03:55.892 --> 00:03:57.193
God said, “he's restoring health back unto you. the
00:03:57.260 --> 00:03:58.895
Health back unto you. the number of your days he will
00:03:58.961 --> 00:04:00.229
Number of your days he will fulfill.” “i don't see how i
00:04:00.296 --> 00:04:02.098
Fulfill.” “i don't see how i can get well joel. you should
00:04:02.165 --> 00:04:03.700
Can get well joel. you should see this medical report.”
00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:05.468
See this medical report.” you're doing what they did.
00:04:05.535 --> 00:04:07.003
You're doing what they did. you're cancelling out the
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:07.870
You're cancelling out the promise. god said, “you will
00:04:07.937 --> 00:04:09.739
Promise. god said, “you will lend and not borrow. your cup
00:04:09.806 --> 00:04:11.874
Lend and not borrow. your cup will run over. “i can't get
00:04:11.941 --> 00:04:13.609
Will run over. “i can't get ahead. i take one step
00:04:13.676 --> 00:04:15.111
Ahead. i take one step forward and two steps
00:04:15.178 --> 00:04:15.912
Forward and two steps backwards.” that's keeping
00:04:15.978 --> 00:04:17.213
Backwards.” that's keeping you out of your land. god
00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:19.215
You out of your land. god said, “your children will be
00:04:19.282 --> 00:04:20.483
Said, “your children will be mighty in the land, that your
00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:22.151
Mighty in the land, that your seed is blessed.” “i don't
00:04:22.218 --> 00:04:23.820
Seed is blessed.” “i don't think my son is ever going to
00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:24.887
Think my son is ever going to get back on course. i don't
00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:26.022
Get back on course. i don't know what's wrong with him.”
00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:26.889
Know what's wrong with him.” the problem is you're
00:04:26.956 --> 00:04:28.491
The problem is you're pronouncing the wrong thing.
00:04:28.558 --> 00:04:30.560
Pronouncing the wrong thing. god has given you the
00:04:30.626 --> 00:04:31.427
God has given you the promise. you may even believe
00:04:31.494 --> 00:04:33.496
Promise. you may even believe it in your heart, but if you
00:04:33.563 --> 00:04:35.064
It in your heart, but if you pronounce defeat, you're
00:04:35.131 --> 00:04:36.699
Pronounce defeat, you're going to see defeat.
00:04:36.766 --> 00:04:38.401
Going to see defeat. god told the israelites to
00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:39.802
God told the israelites to pronounce the blessing, while
00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:41.471
Pronounce the blessing, while the opposition was still on
00:04:41.537 --> 00:04:42.772
The opposition was still on their land. they were still
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.140
Their land. they were still outnumbered, outside the
00:04:44.207 --> 00:04:45.708
Outnumbered, outside the city. they could have
00:04:45.775 --> 00:04:46.809
City. they could have thought, “why are we going to
00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:47.910
Thought, “why are we going to pronounce the blessing now?
00:04:47.977 --> 00:04:49.112
Pronounce the blessing now? once we get in, once we're
00:04:49.178 --> 00:04:50.947
Once we get in, once we're victorious, living in those
00:04:51.013 --> 00:04:52.515
Victorious, living in those houses, then we'll say, we're

Houses, then we'll say, we're blessed.” but this is what

To speak what god promised you before you see any sign
00:04:58.721 --> 00:05:00.523
You before you see any sign of it. you have to pronounce

To pronounce abundance, when your finances say you're
00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:08.264
Your finances say you're barely going to make it. you
00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:09.766
Barely going to make it. you have to speak freedom, when

As ever. when you get your words in agreement with what
00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:16.272
Words in agreement with what god says, angels go to work.
00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:18.875
God says, angels go to work. the chain breaker shows up.
00:05:18.941 --> 00:05:20.410
The chain breaker shows up. supernatural power,
00:05:20.476 --> 00:05:21.878
Supernatural power, provision, healing, things
00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:23.880
Provision, healing, things you couldn't make happen, god

If you'll keep pronouncing the blessing, then you will
00:05:37.226 --> 00:05:38.528
The blessing, then you will possess all god has for you.

Back in the bible days, the. way a king took new land
00:05:42.932 --> 00:05:45.201
Way a king took new land wasn't just by force, but
00:05:45.268 --> 00:05:46.769
Wasn't just by force, but first he proclaimed it was
00:05:46.836 --> 00:05:48.371
First he proclaimed it was his land. he made this public
00:05:48.438 --> 00:05:50.373
His land. he made this public declaration to all the
00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:51.474
Declaration to all the people, his supporters and
00:05:51.541 --> 00:05:53.876
People, his supporters and the opposition that this was
00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.344
The opposition that this was his territory. he didn't wait
00:05:55.411 --> 00:05:57.246
His territory. he didn't wait to conquer the city to take
00:05:57.313 --> 00:05:58.681
To conquer the city to take ownership. he didn't wait to
00:05:58.748 --> 00:06:00.450
Ownership. he didn't wait to build the infrastructure to
00:06:00.516 --> 00:06:01.884
Build the infrastructure to say it was his. his words
00:06:01.951 --> 00:06:04.187
Say it was his. his words marked territory. his words
00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:06.322
Marked territory. his words established dominion. it's
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.424
The same principle with god.
00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:10.159
The same principle with god. that's what he told the
00:06:10.226 --> 00:06:10.927
That's what he told the israelites. “this land is
00:06:10.993 --> 00:06:12.662
Israelites. “this land is yours. i'm giving it to you.
00:06:12.728 --> 00:06:14.230
Yours. i'm giving it to you. now you have to pronounce the

Now you have to pronounce the blessing before you possess
00:06:16.332 --> 00:06:18.167
Blessing before you possess it.” not after, not when you
00:06:18.234 --> 00:06:20.536
It.” not after, not when you see what you're believing
00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:21.804
See what you're believing for, when the trouble turns
00:06:21.871 --> 00:06:23.239
For, when the trouble turns around, when you get that
00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:24.740
Around, when you get that promotion. no, before you go
00:06:24.807 --> 00:06:26.142
Promotion. no, before you go into the land, you need to
00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:27.610
Into the land, you need to announce this is your land.
00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:29.545

Business, bright future.” that's not just being

Marking some new territory. god told the people of

God told the people of israel, you have gone around

Israel, you have gone around this mountain long enough.
00:07:43.953 --> 00:07:45.655
This mountain long enough. same thing over and over.
00:07:45.721 --> 00:07:47.390
Same thing over and over. forty years, complaining, “we

Here. it's never going to change.” it's time to take

Change.” it's time to take new ground. it starts with
00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:57.166
New ground. it starts with our words. “lord, i want to
00:07:57.233 --> 00:07:59.235
Our words. “lord, i want to thank you that you promised
00:07:59.302 --> 00:08:00.903

That way a long time. it's easy to settle in that land,
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:21.524
Easy to settle in that land, just keep going around the
00:08:21.591 --> 00:08:22.391

You're helping him do what he can't do on his own.” that's
00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:41.410
Can't do on his own.” that's marking new territory. that's
00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:43.479
Marking new territory. that's announcing to the enemy that,
00:08:43.546 --> 00:08:45.481
Announcing to the enemy that, “you can't stay on that land.

That proclamation, where not just in the natural, but in

Taking authority, declaring what god promised will come
00:09:03.532 --> 00:09:04.900
What god promised will come to pass. it's not up to you
00:09:04.967 --> 00:09:06.869
To pass. it's not up to you to make it all happen. god
00:09:06.936 --> 00:09:08.471
To make it all happen. god said, “i want you to obey me
00:09:08.537 --> 00:09:10.039
Said, “i want you to obey me and pronounce the blessing.
00:09:10.106 --> 00:09:12.008
And pronounce the blessing. declare what i said about
00:09:12.074 --> 00:09:13.309
Declare what i said about you.” that's when god will do

You.” that's when god will do what you can't do. he'll make
00:09:15.277 --> 00:09:16.879
What you can't do. he'll make ways where you don't see a
00:09:16.946 --> 00:09:18.414
Way.
00:09:18.514 --> 00:09:19.715
With your words you are

Marking. “i've had thise problem so long. i don't

Problem so long. i don't think i'll ever meet the

Think i'll ever meet the right person. everybody in my

Right person. everybody in my family struggles with an

Family struggles with an addiction. nobody can get

Addiction. nobody can get ahead. we'll never have
00:09:32.495 --> 00:09:33.929
Ahead. we'll never have enough.” that's like the
00:09:33.996 --> 00:09:35.464
Enough.” that's like the israelites, going around that
00:09:35.531 --> 00:09:36.699
Same mountain. “giants are
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.401
Same mountain. “giants are too big. always going to be

Too big. always going to be this way.” that group never
00:09:40.102 --> 00:09:42.238
This way.” that group never did go in. the next time,
00:09:42.304 --> 00:09:44.473
Did go in. the next time, they were at the promised
00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:45.408
They were at the promised land, forty years later, god
00:09:45.474 --> 00:09:48.110
Land, forty years later, god told their children, in
00:09:48.177 --> 00:09:49.245
Told their children, in effect, “don't be like your
00:09:49.311 --> 00:09:50.680
Effect, “don't be like your parents. don't defeat
00:09:50.746 --> 00:09:52.481
Parents. don't defeat yourself with your words.”
00:09:52.548 --> 00:09:54.583
Yourself with your words.” you have to pronounce the
00:09:54.650 --> 00:09:55.718
You have to pronounce the blessing, not pronounce the
00:09:55.785 --> 00:09:57.687
Blessing, not pronounce the problem. that's going to keep
00:09:57.753 --> 00:09:59.388
Problem. that's going to keep you circling. why don't you
00:09:59.455 --> 00:10:00.790
You circling. why don't you start pronouncing your

Territory. you have to put your flag in the ground so to
00:10:15.771 --> 00:10:17.273
Your flag in the ground so to speak. “this land belongs to
00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:19.241
Speak. “this land belongs to me. god, you promised me
00:10:19.308 --> 00:10:21.277
Me. god, you promised me healing. i believe healing is

Healing. i believe healing is mine. god, you said i have a

Anxiety, confusion. lord, i thank you for peace. god, you
00:10:29.418 --> 00:10:31.654
Thank you for peace. god, you said i'd be the happy mother
00:10:31.721 --> 00:10:33.089
Said i'd be the happy mother of children. the experts say
00:10:33.155 --> 00:10:34.824
Of children. the experts say we can't have a baby, but
00:10:34.890 --> 00:10:36.192
We can't have a baby, but god, i thank you that a child
00:10:36.258 --> 00:10:37.693
God, i thank you that a child is on the way. that i will
00:10:37.760 --> 00:10:39.028
Is on the way. that i will conceive and give birth.”
00:10:39.095 --> 00:10:41.297
Conceive and give birth.” that's how you possess the
00:10:41.363 --> 00:10:42.398
That's how you possess the land. speak the blessing.
00:10:42.465 --> 00:10:44.834
Land. speak the blessing. declare what god promised,

That's marking your territory.
00:10:46.702 --> 00:10:49.071
That's marking your territory. we have a little dog at home
00:10:49.138 --> 00:10:50.372
We have a little dog at home named evie. she's a shih tzu.
00:10:50.439 --> 00:10:52.575
Named evie. she's a shih tzu. she weighs about ten pounds,
00:10:52.641 --> 00:10:54.276
She weighs about ten pounds, the nicest, friendliest dog
00:10:54.343 --> 00:10:55.644
The nicest, friendliest dog ever. when we take her for a
00:10:55.711 --> 00:10:57.480
Ever. when we take her for a walk, every thirty feet or
00:10:57.546 --> 00:10:59.381
Walk, every thirty feet or so, she'll stop and mark her
00:10:59.448 --> 00:11:00.983
So, she'll stop and mark her territory. that smell tells
00:11:01.050 --> 00:11:03.085
Territory. that smell tells the other dogs that they
00:11:03.152 --> 00:11:03.953
The other dogs that they don't belong there. that this
00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.421
Don't belong there. that this is her street. she's very
00:11:05.488 --> 00:11:07.490
Is her street. she's very small, but she doesn't know
00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:09.158
Small, but she doesn't know her size. she thinks she's a
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:11.026
Her size. she thinks she's a great dane. in her mind,
00:11:11.093 --> 00:11:12.862
Great dane. in her mind, she's this big, powerful dog,
00:11:12.928 --> 00:11:14.797
She's this big, powerful dog, not afraid of anything.
00:11:14.864 --> 00:11:16.332
Another dog will pass by ten
00:11:16.432 --> 00:11:17.967
Another dog will pass by ten times her size. she'll go
00:11:18.033 --> 00:11:19.969
Times her size. she'll go right up to it, growling,
00:11:20.035 --> 00:11:21.337
Right up to it, growling, snarling, barking. i have to
00:11:21.403 --> 00:11:23.773
Snarling, barking. i have to hold that leash so tight, to
00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.841
Hold that leash so tight, to not let her get away. she's
00:11:25.908 --> 00:11:27.810
Not let her get away. she's not afraid of the other dog,
00:11:27.877 --> 00:11:29.178
Not afraid of the other dog, but i am. i think, “don't get
00:11:29.245 --> 00:11:31.380
But i am. i think, “don't get him mad at us.” but evie is
00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:33.682
Him mad at us.” but evie is letting that other dog know
00:11:33.749 --> 00:11:35.451
Letting that other dog know that he doesn't belong there.
00:11:35.518 --> 00:11:37.219
That he doesn't belong there. she's already marked her
00:11:37.286 --> 00:11:38.387
She's already marked her territory, set her flag in
00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:40.122
Territory, set her flag in the ground, and he better get
00:11:40.189 --> 00:11:41.690
The ground, and he better get out of there fast, or there's
00:11:41.757 --> 00:11:42.691
Out of there fast, or there's going to be trouble.
00:11:42.758 --> 00:11:44.493
Going to be trouble. she marks her territory a
00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:45.594
She marks her territory a different way. we mark our
00:11:45.661 --> 00:11:47.096
Different way. we mark our territory with our words.
00:11:47.163 --> 00:11:49.031
Territory with our words. when you speak god's promises
00:11:49.098 --> 00:11:51.167
When you speak god's promises you are establishing
00:11:51.233 --> 00:11:52.168
You are establishing ownership. it's good to
00:11:52.234 --> 00:11:53.969
Ownership. it's good to believe the promise, but the
00:11:54.036 --> 00:11:55.638
Believe the promise, but the scripture says, “the spirit
00:11:55.704 --> 00:11:57.306
Scripture says, “the spirit of faith is in our words.”
00:11:57.373 --> 00:11:59.675
Of faith is in our words.” words give life to what
00:11:59.742 --> 00:12:01.177
Words give life to what you're believing. god has
00:12:01.243 --> 00:12:03.012
You're believing. god has given us all these incredible
00:12:03.078 --> 00:12:04.413
Given us all these incredible promises. like the
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.848
Promises. like the israelites, he's promised us
00:12:05.915 --> 00:12:07.416
Israelites, he's promised us the land, the healing, the
00:12:07.483 --> 00:12:09.285
The land, the healing, the freedom, the family. but
00:12:09.351 --> 00:12:11.287
Freedom, the family. but here's where we can miss it.
00:12:11.353 --> 00:12:12.688
Here's where we can miss it. silence leaves the territory
00:12:12.755 --> 00:12:14.523
Silence leaves the territory unclaimed. silence is not
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:17.026
Unclaimed. silence is not neutral, silence is
00:12:17.092 --> 00:12:18.627
Neutral, silence is surrender. you have to
00:12:18.694 --> 00:12:20.529
Surrender. you have to pronounce the promise before
00:12:20.596 --> 00:12:22.531
Pronounce the promise before you possess it. when you
00:12:22.598 --> 00:12:24.300
You possess it. when you speak what god says, that
00:12:24.366 --> 00:12:26.035
Speak what god says, that gives life to your faith. you
00:12:26.101 --> 00:12:28.037
Gives life to your faith. you are marking territory. you
00:12:28.103 --> 00:12:29.872
Are marking territory. you are setting boundaries,
00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:31.473
Are setting boundaries, establishing ownership. i
00:12:31.540 --> 00:12:33.943
Establishing ownership. i wonder if you're leaving
00:12:34.009 --> 00:12:36.011
Wonder if you're leaving territory unclaimed because
00:12:36.078 --> 00:12:37.446
Territory unclaimed because you're not speaking it. are
00:12:37.513 --> 00:12:39.281
You're not speaking it. are you surrendering land that
00:12:39.348 --> 00:12:40.583
You surrendering land that belongs to you, promises of
00:12:40.649 --> 00:12:42.618
Belongs to you, promises of healing, freedom, abundance
00:12:42.685 --> 00:12:44.887
Healing, freedom, abundance because you haven't spoken
00:12:44.954 --> 00:12:46.088
Because you haven't spoken the blessing. if you don't
00:12:46.155 --> 00:12:47.857
The blessing. if you don't pronounce it, you won't
00:12:47.923 --> 00:12:49.391
Pronounce it, you won't possess it.
00:12:49.458 --> 00:12:50.659
Possess it. it's good to believe that
00:12:50.726 --> 00:12:51.760
It's good to believe that your family will come to know
00:12:51.827 --> 00:12:53.028
Your family will come to know the lord. good to stay in
00:12:53.095 --> 00:12:54.163
The lord. good to stay in faith, be positive, but when
00:12:54.230 --> 00:12:56.298
Faith, be positive, but when you say, “lord, i want to
00:12:56.365 --> 00:12:57.399
You say, “lord, i want to thank you that as for me and
00:12:57.466 --> 00:12:58.901
Thank you that as for me and my house we will serve the
00:12:58.968 --> 00:13:00.202
My house we will serve the lord.” that takes it to a new
00:13:00.269 --> 00:13:01.837
Lord.” that takes it to a new level. just imagine you're
00:13:01.904 --> 00:13:03.806
Level. just imagine you're putting your stake in the
00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:04.807
Putting your stake in the ground, claiming, “this
00:13:04.874 --> 00:13:06.775
Ground, claiming, “this territory belongs to me.”
00:13:06.842 --> 00:13:08.911
Territory belongs to me.” it's good to believe that
00:13:08.978 --> 00:13:10.012
It's good to believe that you're blessed, and wish good
00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:11.747
You're blessed, and wish good things will happen, but when
00:13:11.814 --> 00:13:13.415
Things will happen, but when you say, “father, thank you
00:13:13.482 --> 00:13:14.583
You say, “father, thank you that i am blessed, that your
00:13:14.650 --> 00:13:16.552
That i am blessed, that your favor, surely goodness and
00:13:16.619 --> 00:13:18.420
Favor, surely goodness and mercy are following me. i
00:13:18.487 --> 00:13:21.857
Mercy are following me. i haven't seen, heard or
00:13:21.924 --> 00:13:23.058
Haven't seen, heard or imagined what you have in
00:13:23.125 --> 00:13:24.360
Imagined what you have in store.” that's putting a
00:13:24.426 --> 00:13:26.061
Store.” that's putting a stake in the ground for a
00:13:26.128 --> 00:13:27.296
Stake in the ground for a bright future, for promotion,
00:13:27.363 --> 00:13:29.598
Bright future, for promotion, increase, or abundance. or
00:13:29.665 --> 00:13:31.467
Increase, or abundance. or perhaps you struggle with
00:13:31.533 --> 00:13:32.635
Perhaps you struggle with self-worth, feeling like
00:13:32.701 --> 00:13:34.637
Self-worth, feeling like you're not enough, insecure.
00:13:34.703 --> 00:13:36.805
You're not enough, insecure. you do your best to think the
00:13:36.872 --> 00:13:38.107
You do your best to think the right thoughts. that's a
00:13:38.173 --> 00:13:39.408
Right thoughts. that's a great start, but you need to
00:13:39.475 --> 00:13:41.410
Great start, but you need to take this next step and
00:13:41.477 --> 00:13:42.778
Take this next step and pronounce the blessing. god
00:13:42.845 --> 00:13:44.980
Pronounce the blessing. god has promised you freedom,
00:13:45.047 --> 00:13:46.682
Has promised you freedom, confidence, value but you
00:13:46.749 --> 00:13:48.517
Confidence, value but you have to declare it. something
00:13:48.584 --> 00:13:50.519
Have to declare it. something happens when you speak.
00:13:50.586 --> 00:13:52.221
Happens when you speak. forces of darkness are
00:13:52.288 --> 00:13:53.422
Forces of darkness are broken. strongholds come down.
00:13:53.522 --> 00:13:56.292
Broken. strongholds come down. every morning you need to
00:13:56.358 --> 00:13:57.259
Every morning you need to say, “father, thank you that
00:13:57.326 --> 00:13:58.861
Say, “father, thank you that you created me in your own
00:13:58.928 --> 00:14:00.763
You created me in your own image. that you crowned me
00:14:00.829 --> 00:14:02.531
Image. that you crowned me with your favor. that i am a
00:14:02.598 --> 00:14:04.199
With your favor. that i am a masterpiece, fearfully and
00:14:04.266 --> 00:14:06.302
Masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made. valuable,
00:14:06.368 --> 00:14:08.370
Wonderfully made. valuable, talented, worthy, a prized
00:14:08.437 --> 00:14:10.940
Talented, worthy, a prized possession.” that's
00:14:11.006 --> 00:14:12.341
Possession.” that's exercising your authority.
00:14:12.408 --> 00:14:14.410
Exercising your authority. that's marking your
00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:15.377
That's marking your territory, setting new
00:14:15.444 --> 00:14:16.912
Territory, setting new boundaries. letting the enemy
00:14:16.979 --> 00:14:18.881
Boundaries. letting the enemy know that land belongs to
00:14:18.948 --> 00:14:20.916
Know that land belongs to you. that's when god will
00:14:20.983 --> 00:14:22.885
You. that's when god will fight for you. you don't have
00:14:22.952 --> 00:14:24.954
Fight for you. you don't have to defeat the enemy. he's
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:26.355
To defeat the enemy. he's already defeated. god will go
00:14:26.422 --> 00:14:28.190
Already defeated. god will go before you and clear the
00:14:28.257 --> 00:14:29.158
Before you and clear the path. he'll make the wrong
00:14:29.224 --> 00:14:31.260
Path. he'll make the wrong things, he'll move them out
00:14:31.327 --> 00:14:32.261
Things, he'll move them out of your way so you can
00:14:32.328 --> 00:14:33.429
Of your way so you can possess the land.
00:14:33.495 --> 00:14:35.331
Possess the land. this is what david did. at
00:14:35.397 --> 00:14:36.765
This is what david did. at seventeen years old, he heard
00:14:36.832 --> 00:14:38.467
Seventeen years old, he heard goliath taunting the
00:14:38.534 --> 00:14:39.735
Goliath taunting the israelites. they were on one
00:14:39.802 --> 00:14:41.170
Israelites. they were on one side of the mountain, the
00:14:41.236 --> 00:14:42.271
Side of the mountain, the philistines on the other.
00:14:42.338 --> 00:14:43.739
Philistines on the other. these two armies were in a
00:14:43.806 --> 00:14:44.840
These two armies were in a standoff. goliath would come
00:14:44.907 --> 00:14:46.809
Standoff. goliath would come out twice a day and shout
00:14:46.875 --> 00:14:48.610
Out twice a day and shout threats and insults to the
00:14:48.677 --> 00:14:50.579
Threats and insults to the people of israel. he was a
00:14:50.646 --> 00:14:52.281
People of israel. he was a giant that stood over nine
00:14:52.348 --> 00:14:54.116
Giant that stood over nine feet tall, the champion of
00:14:54.183 --> 00:14:56.018
Feet tall, the champion of their army. their most
00:14:56.085 --> 00:14:57.186
Their army. their most skilled and talented warrior
00:14:57.252 --> 00:14:59.054
Skilled and talented warrior they had. the land god's
00:14:59.121 --> 00:15:00.956
They had. the land god's promised you will probably
00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:02.758
Promised you will probably have some giants on it.
00:15:02.825 --> 00:15:04.626
Have some giants on it. opposition will inhabit your
00:15:04.693 --> 00:15:06.295
Opposition will inhabit your land. it's easy to back down,
00:15:06.362 --> 00:15:08.998
Land. it's easy to back down, but you have to mark that
00:15:09.064 --> 00:15:10.065
But you have to mark that territory. you have to take
00:15:10.132 --> 00:15:12.001
Territory. you have to take ownership of it, and god will
00:15:12.067 --> 00:15:13.769
Ownership of it, and god will defeat your enemies. you
00:15:13.836 --> 00:15:15.604
Defeat your enemies. you don't have to fight goliath
00:15:15.671 --> 00:15:16.872
Don't have to fight goliath by yourself, the sickness,
00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:19.341
By yourself, the sickness, the addiction, the struggle.
00:15:19.408 --> 00:15:20.776
The addiction, the struggle. it may be too much for you.
00:15:20.843 --> 00:15:22.778
It may be too much for you. you can't do it in your own
00:15:22.845 --> 00:15:23.946
You can't do it in your own strength. that's not your
00:15:24.013 --> 00:15:25.314
Strength. that's not your part. your part is to
00:15:25.381 --> 00:15:26.849
Part. your part is to pronounce the blessing.
00:15:26.915 --> 00:15:28.751
Pronounce the blessing. declare what god says. once
00:15:28.817 --> 00:15:30.953
Declare what god says. once you put your stake down, god
00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:32.554
You put your stake down, god will go to work.
00:15:32.621 --> 00:15:33.889
Will go to work. all the israeli army was
00:15:33.956 --> 00:15:35.257
All the israeli army was afraid. when goliath came
00:15:35.324 --> 00:15:37.059
Afraid. when goliath came out, they ran and hid.
00:15:37.126 --> 00:15:38.627
Out, they ran and hid. thought, “there's no way.
00:15:38.694 --> 00:15:40.229
Thought, “there's no way. he's too big.” as long as
00:15:40.295 --> 00:15:42.197
He's too big.” as long as you're silent, you're
00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:43.465
You're silent, you're surrendering territory.
00:15:43.532 --> 00:15:45.501
Surrendering territory. giants will occupy your land.
00:15:45.567 --> 00:15:48.037
Giants will occupy your land. not because they're stronger,
00:15:48.103 --> 00:15:49.338
Not because they're stronger, bigger, but because you
00:15:49.405 --> 00:15:50.839
Bigger, but because you haven't marked your
00:15:50.906 --> 00:15:51.573
Haven't marked your territory. you haven't
00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:53.275
Territory. you haven't established ownership. this
00:15:53.342 --> 00:15:55.744
Established ownership. this is not something god is going
00:15:55.811 --> 00:15:57.046
Is not something god is going to do; you have to do it.
00:15:57.112 --> 00:15:58.747
To do; you have to do it. faith is activated through
00:15:58.814 --> 00:16:00.282
Faith is activated through our words.
00:16:00.349 --> 00:16:01.717
One morning goliath came out
00:16:01.817 --> 00:16:03.852
One morning goliath came out making all this noise. david
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.554
Making all this noise. david didn't run. he didn't hide.
00:16:05.621 --> 00:16:07.656
Didn't run. he didn't hide. he said, “goliath, you come
00:16:07.723 --> 00:16:09.191
He said, “goliath, you come against me with a sword and a
00:16:09.258 --> 00:16:10.692
Against me with a sword and a shield, but i come against
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.361
Shield, but i come against you in the name of the lord
00:16:12.428 --> 00:16:14.129
God of israel.” david didn't
00:16:14.229 --> 00:16:16.298
God of israel.” david didn't just believe the promise. he
00:16:16.365 --> 00:16:18.167
Just believe the promise. he didn't just hope god was with
00:16:18.233 --> 00:16:19.435
Didn't just hope god was with him. he spoke the blessing.
00:16:19.501 --> 00:16:22.071
Him. he spoke the blessing. he went on to say, “this day
00:16:22.137 --> 00:16:23.939
He went on to say, “this day i will defeat you and feed
00:16:24.006 --> 00:16:25.741
I will defeat you and feed your head to the birds of the
00:16:25.808 --> 00:16:27.042
Your head to the birds of the air.” that wasn't just trash
00:16:27.109 --> 00:16:29.445
Air.” that wasn't just trash talk, that was territorial
00:16:29.511 --> 00:16:31.046
Talk, that was territorial talk. david was marking his
00:16:31.113 --> 00:16:33.282
Talk. david was marking his territory. he was
00:16:33.348 --> 00:16:34.650
Territory. he was establishing ownership,
00:16:34.716 --> 00:16:36.218
Establishing ownership, saying, “this land belongs to
00:16:36.285 --> 00:16:38.220
Saying, “this land belongs to us. you are not welcome
00:16:38.287 --> 00:16:39.888
Here.” he went up to him and
00:16:39.988 --> 00:16:41.623
Here.” he went up to him and slung that rock, hit goliath
00:16:41.690 --> 00:16:43.492
Slung that rock, hit goliath in the forehead and knocked
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:44.960
In the forehead and knocked him to the ground. that's
00:16:45.027 --> 00:16:46.628
Him to the ground. that's recorded in 1 samuel 17:49.
00:16:46.695 --> 00:16:49.798
Recorded in 1 samuel 17:49. but the real victory
00:16:49.865 --> 00:16:50.799
But the real victory happened, four verses
00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:52.201
Happened, four verses earlier, in verse 45, when he
00:16:52.267 --> 00:16:55.070
Earlier, in verse 45, when he said, “i will defeat you.” he
00:16:55.137 --> 00:16:57.539
Said, “i will defeat you.” he had to pronounce the victory,
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:59.675
Had to pronounce the victory, before he could possess the
00:16:59.741 --> 00:17:00.876
Before he could possess the victory.
00:17:00.943 --> 00:17:02.444
Victory. had david gone in there and
00:17:02.511 --> 00:17:03.545
Had david gone in there and thought, “i don't know man.
00:17:03.612 --> 00:17:04.480
Thought, “i don't know man. he's big. look at his armor.
00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:07.282
He's got all this
00:17:07.382 --> 00:17:07.950
He's got all this experience.” if david had
00:17:08.016 --> 00:17:10.018
Experience.” if david had talked defeat, we wouldn't be
00:17:10.085 --> 00:17:11.620
Talked defeat, we wouldn't be talking about him today. if
00:17:11.687 --> 00:17:13.555
Talking about him today. if he had not marked his
00:17:13.622 --> 00:17:14.690
He had not marked his territory with his words, if
00:17:14.756 --> 00:17:16.758
Territory with his words, if he'd stayed silent, he would
00:17:16.825 --> 00:17:18.460
He'd stayed silent, he would have never defeated goliath.
00:17:18.527 --> 00:17:20.896
Have never defeated goliath. here's the key: goliath
00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:22.397
Here's the key: goliath wasn't just a giant, he was a
00:17:22.464 --> 00:17:24.266
Wasn't just a giant, he was a squatter, living on the land
00:17:24.333 --> 00:17:26.902
Squatter, living on the land that belonged to the
00:17:26.969 --> 00:17:27.703
That belonged to the israelites, taking their
00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:29.171
Israelites, taking their inheritance. all the israeli
00:17:29.238 --> 00:17:31.607
Inheritance. all the israeli army was quiet. they were
00:17:31.673 --> 00:17:33.509
Army was quiet. they were afraid. silence gives
00:17:33.575 --> 00:17:36.111
Afraid. silence gives permission for squatters to
00:17:36.178 --> 00:17:37.613
Permission for squatters to stay on your land. when we
00:17:37.679 --> 00:17:39.581
Stay on your land. when we stay silent, we surrender the
00:17:39.648 --> 00:17:41.617
Stay silent, we surrender the territory.
00:17:41.683 --> 00:17:42.885
Territory. on the way to your destiny,
00:17:42.951 --> 00:17:45.053
On the way to your destiny, there will be some goliaths
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:46.121
There will be some goliaths on your property, giants
00:17:46.188 --> 00:17:48.157
On your property, giants inhabiting places that god
00:17:48.223 --> 00:17:49.858
Inhabiting places that god has promised you. imagine
00:17:49.925 --> 00:17:51.927
Has promised you. imagine squatters on your land.
00:17:51.994 --> 00:17:53.762
Squatters on your land. sickness, depression,
00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:56.165
Sickness, depression, generational dysfunction, on
00:17:56.231 --> 00:17:58.400
Generational dysfunction, on your property, enjoying your
00:17:58.467 --> 00:18:00.169
Your property, enjoying your house, eating from your
00:18:00.235 --> 00:18:01.436
House, eating from your garden. it's time to serve
00:18:01.503 --> 00:18:03.338
Garden. it's time to serve some evictions notices. you
00:18:03.405 --> 00:18:05.374
Some evictions notices. you have to tell depression, “you
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.109
Have to tell depression, “you are not welcome on my
00:18:07.176 --> 00:18:08.143
Are not welcome on my property.” tell shame,
00:18:08.210 --> 00:18:10.412
Property.” tell shame, insecurity, not good enough,
00:18:10.479 --> 00:18:12.314
Insecurity, not good enough, “you don't belong here. your
00:18:12.381 --> 00:18:13.715
“you don't belong here. your time is up. sickness you
00:18:13.782 --> 00:18:15.651
Time is up. sickness you can't stay on my land, i will
00:18:15.717 --> 00:18:17.419
Can't stay on my land, i will live and not die. dysfunction
00:18:17.486 --> 00:18:19.688
Live and not die. dysfunction you have no right here. i
00:18:19.755 --> 00:18:21.323
You have no right here. i will break generational
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:22.691
Will break generational limitations, and i will start
00:18:22.758 --> 00:18:24.560
Limitations, and i will start generational blessings. or
00:18:24.626 --> 00:18:26.795
Generational blessings. or how about giant of addiction,
00:18:26.862 --> 00:18:28.664
How about giant of addiction, you have overstayed your
00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:29.765
You have overstayed your welcome. this is a new day.
00:18:29.831 --> 00:18:31.600
Welcome. this is a new day. whom the son sets free is
00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:33.402
Whom the son sets free is free indeed. i am coming into
00:18:33.468 --> 00:18:35.304
Free indeed. i am coming into freedom, into wholeness, into
00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:37.039
Freedom, into wholeness, into victory.” you don't evict
00:18:37.105 --> 00:18:38.874
Victory.” you don't evict giants with your power, your
00:18:38.941 --> 00:18:40.609
Giants with your power, your might, your thoughts, you
00:18:40.676 --> 00:18:42.477
Might, your thoughts, you evict them with your words.
00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:44.646
Evict them with your words. david said, “this day, the
00:18:44.713 --> 00:18:46.281
David said, “this day, the lord will deliver you into my
00:18:46.348 --> 00:18:47.783
Lord will deliver you into my hands.” that's where he won
00:18:47.849 --> 00:18:49.284
Hands.” that's where he won the battle. giants don't
00:18:49.351 --> 00:18:51.420
The battle. giants don't leave because you don't like
00:18:51.486 --> 00:18:52.621
Leave because you don't like them, they leave when you
00:18:52.688 --> 00:18:54.089
Them, they leave when you evict them. eviction happens
00:18:54.156 --> 00:18:56.425
Evict them. eviction happens when you speak the promises,
00:18:56.491 --> 00:18:58.260
When you speak the promises, when you declare what god
00:18:58.327 --> 00:18:59.761
When you declare what god says about you.
00:18:59.828 --> 00:19:01.296
Says about you. goliath had been out there
00:19:01.363 --> 00:19:02.331
Goliath had been out there forty days before david
00:19:02.397 --> 00:19:04.333
Forty days before david showed up and evicted him.
00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:06.001
Showed up and evicted him. had it not been for david, he
00:19:06.068 --> 00:19:07.836
Had it not been for david, he may have lived there forty
00:19:07.903 --> 00:19:08.837
May have lived there forty years. he may have
00:19:08.904 --> 00:19:10.138
Years. he may have permanently kept them from
00:19:10.205 --> 00:19:11.406
Permanently kept them from the promised land. why don't
00:19:11.473 --> 00:19:13.242
The promised land. why don't you be the david for your
00:19:13.308 --> 00:19:14.409
You be the david for your family? why don't you be the
00:19:14.476 --> 00:19:16.345
Family? why don't you be the one to rise up and set new
00:19:16.411 --> 00:19:17.779
One to rise up and set new standards? when you see
00:19:17.846 --> 00:19:19.781
Standards? when you see things that are limiting you,
00:19:19.848 --> 00:19:21.650
Things that are limiting you, keeping you from freedom,
00:19:21.717 --> 00:19:23.218
Keeping you from freedom, wholeness, abundance; you
00:19:23.285 --> 00:19:24.886
Wholeness, abundance; you know the secret. you don't
00:19:24.953 --> 00:19:26.555
Know the secret. you don't have to accept it, think,
00:19:26.622 --> 00:19:27.656
Have to accept it, think, “that's just who we are. this
00:19:27.723 --> 00:19:29.558
“that's just who we are. this addiction, depression,
00:19:29.625 --> 00:19:31.093
Addiction, depression, mediocrity, this is all i've
00:19:31.159 --> 00:19:32.394
Mediocrity, this is all i've known.” god has you hearing
00:19:32.461 --> 00:19:34.896
Known.” god has you hearing this, because you're the one
00:19:34.963 --> 00:19:36.298
This, because you're the one to change it. if you will
00:19:36.365 --> 00:19:38.233
To change it. if you will pronounce the blessing, you
00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:39.935
Pronounce the blessing, you can break bondages of the
00:19:40.002 --> 00:19:41.336
Can break bondages of the past and possess the new
00:19:41.403 --> 00:19:43.171
Past and possess the new levels that belong to you.
00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:46.008
Levels that belong to you. the enemy would love for you
00:19:46.074 --> 00:19:47.142
The enemy would love for you to stay silent. he doesn't
00:19:47.209 --> 00:19:49.211
To stay silent. he doesn't want you to take your ground.
00:19:49.278 --> 00:19:51.113
Want you to take your ground. he knows he's on your
00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:52.080
He knows he's on your territory, living off what
00:19:52.147 --> 00:19:53.982
Territory, living off what belongs to you. you need to
00:19:54.049 --> 00:19:55.751
Belongs to you. you need to send some eviction notices.
00:19:55.817 --> 00:19:58.020
Send some eviction notices. your words carry power. when
00:19:58.086 --> 00:20:00.222
Your words carry power. when you declare what god says
00:20:00.289 --> 00:20:01.490
You declare what god says about you, angels are
00:20:01.556 --> 00:20:02.858
About you, angels are dispatched, forces of
00:20:02.924 --> 00:20:04.760
Dispatched, forces of darkness are broken. god will
00:20:04.826 --> 00:20:06.695
Darkness are broken. god will take your sling shot so to
00:20:06.762 --> 00:20:08.130
Take your sling shot so to speak, and you'll bring down
00:20:08.196 --> 00:20:09.598
Speak, and you'll bring down giants that were much bigger.
00:20:09.665 --> 00:20:12.034
Giants that were much bigger. you're not doing this on your
00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:13.335
You're not doing this on your own. it's not just up to you
00:20:13.402 --> 00:20:15.304
Own. it's not just up to you to defeat goliath, your part
00:20:15.370 --> 00:20:17.239
To defeat goliath, your part is to pronounce the blessing.
00:20:17.306 --> 00:20:19.308
Is to pronounce the blessing. put your flag in the ground
00:20:19.374 --> 00:20:21.076
Put your flag in the ground and say, “this family belongs
00:20:21.143 --> 00:20:22.711
And say, “this family belongs to god. i claim the healing,
00:20:22.778 --> 00:20:25.247
To god. i claim the healing, the freedom, the peace, the
00:20:25.314 --> 00:20:26.948
The freedom, the peace, the salvation, the victory.” you
00:20:27.015 --> 00:20:29.451
Salvation, the victory.” you have to mark the land with
00:20:29.518 --> 00:20:30.852
Have to mark the land with your words, before you will
00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:32.554
Your words, before you will mark it with your feet. don't
00:20:32.621 --> 00:20:34.623
Mark it with your feet. don't stay silent. silence is
00:20:34.690 --> 00:20:36.391
Stay silent. silence is surrender.
00:20:36.458 --> 00:20:37.859
Surrender. “joel, i don't think it could
00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:39.294
“joel, i don't think it could work out. i've got this
00:20:39.361 --> 00:20:40.529
Work out. i've got this opposition, this trouble at
00:20:40.595 --> 00:20:41.797
Opposition, this trouble at work, this sickness.” that's
00:20:41.863 --> 00:20:43.865
Work, this sickness.” that's what held the first group of
00:20:43.932 --> 00:20:45.133
What held the first group of israelites back. they were
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.702
Israelites back. they were next door to the promised
00:20:46.768 --> 00:20:48.203
Next door to the promised land, but they complained,
00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:50.439
Land, but they complained, focused on the opposition. i
00:20:50.505 --> 00:20:52.474
Focused on the opposition. i believe many of you are next
00:20:52.541 --> 00:20:54.476
Believe many of you are next door to your promised land.
00:20:54.543 --> 00:20:56.211
Door to your promised land. you are close to a

Levels, but there are giants on your land. it's easy to

Retreat, and think, “i don't see how it can happen.” you
00:21:06.254 --> 00:21:07.823

Agreement with god and speak what he says about you.
00:21:13.729 --> 00:21:15.397

Your words? the enemy doesn't respond to
00:21:36.385 --> 00:21:37.786
The enemy doesn't respond to our thoughts. he's not moved

Our thoughts. he's not moved by what we're thinking. he

By what we're thinking. he responds to our words. that's
00:21:41.356 --> 00:21:43.325
Responds to our words. that's where the power is. think

Where the power is. think about jesus. he didn't just
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:46.762
About jesus. he didn't just go around thinking good
00:21:46.828 --> 00:21:48.096
Go around thinking good thoughts and people got
00:21:48.163 --> 00:21:49.498

Grave.” authority has to be vocalized. a silent believer
00:22:05.447 --> 00:22:08.049
Vocalized. a silent believer is a powerless believer. you
00:22:08.116 --> 00:22:10.185

Have to speak the blessing, before you see the blessing.
00:22:11.653 --> 00:22:13.388
