But 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.720 thanks for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out today. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.360 And I like to start with something funny. And I 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.320 heard about this man he said, I've read so many 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.720 terrible things about how bad eating sugar and junk food is. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.919 I've made a new Year's resolution, no more reading say 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.160 it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.520 am what it says. I am. I have what it 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.920 says I am. I can do what it says I 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.200 can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.079 I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.960 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.600 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.840 I declare words are powerful. They have the ability to 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.440 help set the direction for our lives. When they're spoken 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.000 over us by someone that has authority like a parent, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.440 a coach, a mentor. They can determine our destiny. And 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.040 the reason some people aren't reaching their potential is they've 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.000 never had the blessings spoken over them. They've never had 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:46.160 anyone declare what they can become, who God says they are, 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.400 and how they have seeds of greatness. Isaiah said, the 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.800 spirit of the Lord is upon me to declare the 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.960 year of God's favor, to announce freedom to the captives, 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.120 the recovery of sight to the blind, good news to 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:06.800 the poor. Isaiah went around declaring favor, freedom, victory all 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.400 those that would receive it, Those that would let those 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.080 words take root, would see it come to pass. Hundreds 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.839 of years later, Jesus was in the synagogue in Nazareth. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.320 He picked up a scroll that had the writings of Isaiah. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.560 Of all the things he could have read hundreds of 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.200 different passages, he found this same place and read it 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.960 to the people, the spirit of the Lord is upon 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.600 me to declare the year of God's favor. Jesus knew 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.240 the power of declaring. He knew you have to hear 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:43.080 victory spoken over you. You have to hear abundance, healing, freedom, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.760 for it to come to pass. You may have heard 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.440 it in the past, but life happens twenty twenty. May 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.279 have taken your passion. You go through disappointments, a dream 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.679 didn't work out. You're still believing to meet the right person. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.960 The thoughts of doubt come. It's never going to happen. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.440 You're never going to get well. You've seen your best days. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.479 The negative starts to drown out what was spoken over you. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.000 That's why you need a fresh blessing. You need fresh 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.520 favor spoken over your life. You need a fresh anointing. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.960 That's what I'm going to do today. Like Isaiah declared 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.359 the blessing, Jesus thought it was so important that he 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.239 repeated it. I'm going to declare some things that God 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.760 says about you. If you will let these words take root, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.880 if you will receive them into your spirit, They're going 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.560 to put you on a path to greater joy, better health, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.880 stronger relationships, to new levels of your destiny. These words 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.640 have the power to ignite something in your spirit, to 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:51.240 wake up dreams, to unleash the favor, the gifts, the 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.039 potential that God put in you. When Jesus chose his disciples, 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:01.240 they were ordinary people, a fisherman, a tax collector, carpenters. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.760 Yet he looked at them and said, you are the 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.920 light of the world. You are the salt of the earth. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.479 They could have thought, what's he talking about. There's nothing 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.880 special about us. Their reasoning said he has the wrong person. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.799 But down in their spirit, something ignited, something came alive. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.960 Their seeds of greatness began to take root. They felt 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.680 faith rising up, destiny calling them. Instead of talking themselves 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.560 out of it, they got in agreement. Yes we're the 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.800 light of the world. Yes we're going to leave our mark, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.640 We're going to impact our generation. Jesus spoke the blessing. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.560 He declared favor and influence, and because they agreed, they 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.000 saw it come to pass. They're still affecting us two 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.560 thousand years later. Don't talk yourself out of this favor. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.000 Don't think of all the reasons this can't happen for you. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.560 The blessing I'm about to speak is more powerful than 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.039 any force that's trying to hold you back. The blessing 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.919 is not canceled out because of your background, how you 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.560 were raised, your education. It's not stopped by mistakes you've 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:17.280 made by how long it's been by disappointments. The blessing 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.360 is a supernatural empowerment, a divine favor that will thrust 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.280 you where you can't go on your own. I declare 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.640 for you and your family this will be a year 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.520 of God's favor. That new doors are going to open, 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.040 Opportunities are going to find you, good breaks are going 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.720 to track you down, divine connections. The right people are 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.160 going to show up, people that will use their influence 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.600 to help you go further, people that have been ordained 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.840 to help you reach your destiny. You don't have to 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.400 make this happen. You don't have to manipulate things, try 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.800 to convince someone to like you. God has already lined 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.600 up the right people for you. In the Old Testament, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.280 Ruth was out in the fields picking up wheat. She 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.920 was a young widow. She had lost her husband. I'm 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.760 sure she was discouraged, thinking life was all downhill from here. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:19.000 But the scripture says the owner of that field noticed 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.600 Ruth and wanted to be good to her. Ruth didn't 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.360 see him, but he saw her suddenly he had the 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.640 desire to help her. God has people in your life 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.720 that you can't see right now. But they've seen you. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.760 He's already given them a desire to be good to you, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.480 to show you favor, to open a door to help 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.199 you get through that challenge. That man didn't just help Ruth. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.320 They fell in love. They ended up getting married. You 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.800 may have been through disappointments, things haven't worked out, But 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.760 I declare, like with Ruth, things are about to turn 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:02.160 in your favor. I declare unexpected blessings, good breaks that 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.160 you didn't see coming, Promotion when you weren't next in line, 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.360 problems turning around when there was no sign of it. 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.600 Ruth thought she would have to pick up wheat the 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.959 rest of her life to survive. She never dreamed one 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.760 day she wouldn't be working in the field, she would 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.880 own the field. God has good breaks in your future 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.680 that are going to catapult you to a new level, 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.160 Blessings that are going to thrust you into influence, resources, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.000 ability that you've never imagined. I'm declaring the year of 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.679 God's favor. Now take the limits off of God and 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.559 take the limits off of yourself. Quit telling yourself all 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.120 the reasons you can't accomplish your dreams, what you don't have, 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.400 what you didn't get. It's not going to happen just 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.320 by your ability, your talent, your connections. It's going to 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.400 happen by the spirit of the living God. He's breathing 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.839 on your life right now. His favor it is surrounding 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:08.439 you in a greater way. There are breakthroughs already en route, healing, promotions, contracts, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.320 the right people. They're already headed your way. Now, don't 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.920 talk yourself out of it. Receive the blessing Lord. I 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.080 believe what you declared, that this is a year of 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.400 favor that you're taking me where I can't go on 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:26.080 my own. There was a lady in the scripture that 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.800 had been bearing her whole life and not able to 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.600 have children. She and her husband had plenty of resources, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.640 a nice house, They had influential friends. Life was good 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.440 except for this one thing. She wasn't able to have 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.640 a baby. She was friends with the prophet Elisha. When 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.840 he was in town, he would stay at their house. 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.520 One day, Elisha had the desire to be good to 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.480 this lady. He had known her for a while, but 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.680 suddenly he wanted to do something special for her. God 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.120 knows how to put desires in people's hearts. To be 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.040 good to you. You keep doing the right thing, honoring God, 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.839 and he'll line up the right people to help you. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.720 Elisha said to her, by this time next year, you're 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.080 going to have a baby. She nearly passed out. She said, Elisha, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.520 don't kid me like that. I'm an old woman. My 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.960 husband's older than me. It's not possible to have a baby. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.880 Her mind said there was no way, but down in 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:31.600 her spirit she was excited. She received the blessing. A 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.040 year later, just like God promised, she was holding her 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.520 little baby. What she thought was too good to be 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.400 true became a reality. We have people tell us if 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.880 it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.720 That may be good advice in one sense, but when 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.360 it comes to what God says, you have to have 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.840 the boldness to believe it. God, this seems too good 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.120 to be true. But I know you're a supernatural God. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.720 You create the universe. You can make things happen that 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.120 I could never make happen. Some of the dreams that 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.520 you've given up on seems too late. You could never 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.720 get well, never start the business, never see your family restored. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.960 That would be too good to be true. God is saying, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.680 get ready, by this time next year, you're going to 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.800 see it come to pass. By this time next year, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.719 you're gonna have that baby you've been dreaming about. You've 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.959 been lonely a long time. You've accepted that's the way 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.920 it's always going to be. By this time next year, 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.679 you're going to meet someone better than you've imagined. You 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.480 tried to start that business, nothing worked out, nobody would 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.520 help you. You think you've missed your chance. By this 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.800 time next year is going to be up and running. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.600 Things are gonna fall into place. Or you've struggled with 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.040 that sickness a long time, you've accepted that you'll have 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.559 to live with it. I declare by this time next year, 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.840 you're gonna be healthy and whole. You're gonna feel better 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.280 than you've ever felt. You're gonna run and not be weary. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.560 You're gonna walk and not faint. The anxiety, the depression 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.160 seems permanent. By this time next year, you're going to 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.960 be free. There's going to be great joy in your life. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:21.720 God is turning your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into joy. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.600 When Job was in the middle of the greatest battle 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.640 of his life, he lost his health, his family, his business. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.440 As he was sitting in the ashes, thinking he was done. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.600 God said I will yet fill your mouth with laughter. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.120 That seemed unbelievable. I'm sure Job thought, what is he 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.160 talking about. I'll never laugh again. My world has fallen apart. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.280 But down deep he let those words take root. This 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.320 is not the end. God is still on the throne. 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.559 He has the final say. Instead of complaining, Job looked 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:02.040 up and said, I know my redeem lives. He was saying, 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.000 in effect, God, if you declare, there will be great 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.480 laughter in my house. It seems too good to be true, 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.360 but God, I'm bold enough to believe it. Some scholars 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.840 say that Job's whole trial, all that difficulty we read about, 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.240 only lasted nine months. You may have things coming against 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.880 you in your health, your finances, your relationships. Receive this 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.640 into your spirit. By this time next year, it's going 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.080 to be a different story. What you thought was permanent 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.400 is only temporary. What looks too big you will defeat. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.400 What seems impossible. You will accomplish. How could this happen? 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.600 There is a blessing on your life. You're in the 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.120 year of God's favor. I'm announcing what Jesus did. Freedom 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.359 from the captives. Good news to those that are struggling. 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.360 The struggle is not how your story ends. By this 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.720 time next year, to see God turn it around. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:02.960 Now. 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.200 Your mind may tell you this is too good to 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.600 be true. That's the way the lady thought when Elisha 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.560 told her she was going to have a baby. If 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.800 she would have stayed negative, doubting, she would have stopped 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.760 the promise. What God is speaking over you may seem 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.240 too good to be true. It's hard for you to 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.440 accept it. How could this happen? The right attitude is God. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.880 I don't see a way, but I know you have 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.360 a way. If you declare it, I'm going to receive it. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.000 I believe it's my year of favor. I believe by 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.440 this time next year, you're going to show out in 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.800 my life. You're going to take me where I couldn't 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.520 go on my own. You're gonna free me from things 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.200 that look permanent. Maybe you're struggling with an addiction you've 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.960 tried to stop no success. People have told you that 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.000 you'll always be addicted. It's been in your family line 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.600 for generations. No, this is a new day. I declare 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.120 you are free. What's held you back in the past 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.160 will not hold you back anymore. This is a year 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.920 for breakthroughs. Chains are being loose right now, strongholds are 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.560 coming down. You're about to step into freedom that you've 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.360 never seen. What used to be a struggle is about 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.080 to get easier. The desire for that addiction is going 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.720 to get less and less. Its power over you has 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.720 come to an end. The scripture says, the strength of 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.040 the wicked is being cut off, and the power of 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:35.240 the godly has been increased. The strength of what's coming 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.880 against you has been cut off. Now every day speak 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.120 victory over your life. Father, Thank you that I am free. 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.840 This addiction does not control me. I will become all 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.520 you've created me to be. I talked to a lady 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.120 that struggled with an addiction since she was in her teens. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.480 She's in her forties now. She told how others in 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.640 her family had the same addiction. She had heard her 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.280 whole you'll always be addicted. It runs in our family. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.639 Look like that negative cycle would continue. A couple of 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.520 years ago, someone gave her my podcast and she started listening. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.479 She heard me talking about how you weren't created to 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.880 be addicted, How that's not who you are, that's what 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.879 you do. Who you are is a child of the 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.680 Most High God. You were created to be free. When 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.600 she heard that, something came alive on the inside. Those 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.719 words of faith ignited the freedom in her spirit. She 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:37.520 had never had anyone speak the blessing over her, No 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.080 one had ever declared freedom for the captives. She had 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.880 heard for years, negative words, what she couldn't do, how 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.679 she was limited, never measure up. This day was a 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.840 turning point. She started saying every morning, I am free. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:58.280 This addiction is not my destiny. She started seeing herself differently. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:04.360 Instead of struggling addicted, she saw herself, healthy, whole, free, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.320 And about three months later, she woke up one morning 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.600 and had no desire for the addiction. Didn't happen gradually, 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:16.280 suddenly she was free. This all happened when someone spoke 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.360 the blessing over her. When I declared freedom, she did 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.240 her part and received it into her spirit. And if 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.520 you just hear these words, they'll encourage you, they'll help 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.000 you for a few days. But if you'll let them 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:33.000 take root in your spirit, if you'll get in agreement 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.320 and say yes, this is for me, then they will 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:40.600 become a reality. Like with her, some of the negative 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.280 things that we deal with have been in our family 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:48.919 line for generations. They keep getting passed down. Addictions, depression, 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.480 bad relationships. I talked to a man that had a 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.560 problem with his temper. He said, Joel, I get angry 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.720 so easily. I don't know what's wrong with me. He 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.560 told how his father us the same way, and how 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:05.760 his grandfather was very hot tempered. These spirits can get 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.600 in our family lines and travel from generation to generation. 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.400 I've seen people that come from parents that were divorced, 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.440 they end up divorced. You look back generations and see 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.199 a pattern. Practically everyone went through a divorce. It's not 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:26.000 a coincidence that we struggle in certain areas. Maybe you 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.359 can't seem to get ahead. You take one step forward 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.359 and it's two steps backwards. Just when you're ready to 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.720 move up, you have an unexpected expense, something goes wrong, 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.639 takes your funds. It's always something that's not just bad luck. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:46.520 Those are generational forces that are limiting you. They're keeping 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.240 you from stepping into the abundance and victory that belongs 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.240 to you. This will continue going to the next generation 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.399 and the next until someone rises up and puts an 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.760 end to it. Belie, believe that someone is you. You 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.720 wouldn't be hearing this if you weren't called to make 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.480 a difference. You've been raised up for such a time 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:14.160 as this. Now, I declare that every generational curse that's 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:20.800 in your family line is broken. I declare the addictions, depression, divorce, 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:26.359 low self esteem, poverty, not having enough, those forces will 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.800 no longer have any power over you. In the name 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.639 of Jesus, I declare that you are the difference maker. 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.080 I declare you will set a new standard, that you 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:40.640 will take your family to a higher level. I declare 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:47.760 supernatural favor, supernatural breakthroughs, supernatural increase. My father was raised 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.879 in poverty. His parents lost everything during the Great Depression. 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.440 He had to drop out of high school to work 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.880 on the farm to help the family survive. Didn't look 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.720 like he had much of a future, and it's seventeen 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.840 years old. He gave his life to Christ, the first 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.399 one in his family. He suddenly had the desire to 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.959 become a minister. He had no education, no experience, no money, 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.680 but he told his parents he was going to leave 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.040 the farm and go out and start ministring. He could 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:22.200 feel those seeds of greatness on the inside. His parents 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.439 were good people. They loved him, but they didn't understand it. 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.280 They said, John, you're making a big mistake. All you 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.320 know how to do is work on the farm. You 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.480 better stay here with us. They were saying, you don't 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.800 have what it takes. You're not that talented. We've always 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:42.200 been poor, defeated, mediocre. That's just who we are. If 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.280 my father would have listened to those words, I wouldn't 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.920 be here to receive the blessing. You have to get 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.600 rid of the negative things people have spoken over you. 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.280 They may have meant well, they were trying to help, 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.240 but they told you what you can't do. I won't 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:04.400 measure up, how you'll never be successful, that expouse, how 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.320 you're not attractive, nobody will ever want you. Don't let 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.040 them limit your future. They don't know what's in you. 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.159 They didn't see you before you were formed in your 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.800 mother's room. They didn't breathe life into you. They didn't 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.800 call you equipped you empower you. God is saying to 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:30.200 you today you are blessed. You are favored. You are strong, talented, valuable, free, 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.400 You have greatness in you. You are destined to leave 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.640 your mark to make the world a better place. You're 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:41.640 about to shine. You're about to see favor in greater ways. 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:46.760 You've celebrated others, you're about to be celebrated. You've admired friends, 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.480 you've honored co workers. You're about to be admired, esteemed, honored. 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.159 You're going to come out of the background into the foreground, 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.760 from being overlooked to being in charge. I declare you 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.560 will excel, You will rise higher, You will go further 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:07.560 than anyone thought. You will accomplish more than you've ever dreamed. 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.920 You may feel stuck in your career, like you can't 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.800 get ahead. I declare you're about to be unstuck. You're 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.960 about to step into opportunity that you've never imagined. You're 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.760 going to discover things in you that you didn't know 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:29.360 you had. Gifts, talents, books, songs, movies, ideas, inventions, businesses. 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.200 Now do your part. Tune out all the negative voices. 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:37.919 What God has declared no person can stop, no bad break, 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:44.200 no disappointment. The blessing always overrides the curse. Gaylord Perry 0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:48.240 was a star baseball pitcher. He spent twenty two years 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.760 in the major leagues, most of them with the San 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.040 Francisco Giants. He's in the Hall of Fame, one of 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.560 the best pictures of all time. Although Perry was a 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.640 great picture, he was a terrible He had less than 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:06.120 half the hits of an average pitcher. In nineteen sixty four, 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:10.959 his manager, Alvin Dark was so frustrated with his hitting 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:15.800 he told the newspaper somewhat kiddingly, mark my word, a 0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:19.160 man will land on the Moon before Perry ever hits 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.920 a home run. His coach declared, how bad of a 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:27.320 hitter he was. Perry continued to struggle year after year. 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:32.640 Five years later, on July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine, Neil 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.800 Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon. History 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:41.160 was made. That same night, Perry was pitching against the Dodgers. 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.959 During the third inning, the announcer asked everyone to stand 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:48.280 and have a moment of thanks for the astronauts that 0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:52.280 landed on the Moon. A few minutes later, Perry stepped 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:54.840 up to the plate and hit the first home run 0:24:54.960 --> 0:25:00.919 of his career. His manager's words became a prophecy. I 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:04.120 wonder how many more home runs he would have hit 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:08.240 if he hadn't let those words limit his life. Are 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.800 you being held back by negative things people have spoken 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:15.480 over you. How much further will you go if you 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:18.920 will tune out what they've said and receive what God 0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:22.560 says about you. He says you're about to step into 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.400 new levels of favor, that you're about to go where 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.240 you've never gone, that what stopped you in the past 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:32.280 will not stop you anymore. Now get in agreement with God. 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.720 In the Old Testament, they understood the power of the blessing. 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.960 When the father was getting up there in years, he 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:43.359 would call the children in and he speak words of 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:47.640 life and victory over them. Those words would literally help 0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:51.359 set the course for their life. Without the blessing, they 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.760 knew they couldn't accomplish their dreams, They couldn't go as 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:58.760 far as they should. This blessing was so valuable, so 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:03.920 life changing, that Jacob tricked his twin brother, Esau so 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:08.200 he could get his blessing. Esau was the firstborn son. 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:13.240 They received a double portion. Their father, Isaac, was partially 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.960 blind and couldn't tell it wasn't Esau. He spoke the 0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:20.920 double portion over Jacob. When Esau came in and wanted 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:24.800 the blessing, Isaac realized he had been tricked. He began 0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.879 to weep. He told Esau, I've spoken the blessing and 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:33.280 I cannot take it back. Maybe you've never had anyone 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:38.120 speak the blessing over you. Your father wasn't around. The people 0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:41.199 that raised you, didn't encourage you. Nobody was there to 0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.800 tell you what you could become. Sometimes they did the opposite. 0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.680 All you heard was what you can't do and how 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:51.520 you'll never be successful. You're not that talented. First off, 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:57.440 you have to let all that go, tune out every negative, derogatory, 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:01.800 hurtful thing that was spoken over you and receive these 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:05.840 new words into your spirit. This is what your heavenly 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:10.600 father says about you. I declare, by the authority that 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:14.840 God has given me, that you are blessed. I declare 0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:18.520 that you are blessed with wisdom, that you have clear direction, 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:22.760 that you make good choices in life. I declare that 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:27.119 you are blessed with courage, with strength, with great vision, 0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:32.160 with an obedient heart, with a positive outlook. I declare 0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:36.879 that you are blessed with good health, with vitality, with energy, 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:41.200 that you will live a long, satisfied life. I declare 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.920 that you are blessed with a good family, good friends, 0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:49.520 healthy relationships, that your children will be mighty in the land. 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:54.000 I declare that you are blessed with protection, that God 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:58.120 is guarding you, guiding you, that angels are watching over 0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:02.120 you in your family. I declare that you are blessed 0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:08.359 with promotion, with good success, with ideas, with creativity. I 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:12.400 declare that whatever you put your hands to will prosper. 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.359 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.040 the country. You will be blessed when you come in 0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.720 and blessed when you go out. I declare you will 0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:25.320 lend and not borrow, that you will be above and 0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:30.879 never beneath. I declare that every negative word, every curse 0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:34.560 that has been spoken over you right now, that curse 0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.240 is broken. I declare negative things that have been in 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:42.480 your family line for generations will no longer have any 0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:47.120 effect on you. The generational curse is broken, and the 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:52.160 generational blessing is beginning. I declare this will be a 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:57.080 year of God's favor, freedom for every bad habit, recovery 0:28:57.120 --> 0:29:00.880 from everything that was lost. That from this stay forward 0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:05.240 you will experience a new sense of freedom, a new happiness, 0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:09.680 a new fulfillment. Friends, I declare that you are blessed, 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.640 and if you receive the blessing, can you say amen? 0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.680 I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:20.400 the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:24.800 Just say it, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:29.680 Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:33.120 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:35.920 born again.
