Your Time for Release

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.840 Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.040 our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.720 enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.440 share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.800 for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.439 you and it's great to be with you today, and 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.640 I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:25.080 through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.560 you can come visit us in person. We love to 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.600 have you be a part of one of our services. 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.200 I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.199 about these four Catholic mothers. They were bragging on their sons. 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.440 The first one said, my son is a priest. When 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.760 he walks in the room, everyone calls him father. The 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.400 second one said, my son is a bishop. When he 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.879 walks in the room, everyone calls him your Grace. The 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.760 third said, my son is a cardinal. When he walks 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.400 in the room, everyone calls him your Iminus. The fourth 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.480 one said, my son is six foot three, has broad shoulders, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.760 and is incredibly handsome. When he walks in, all the 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.319 ladies say, oh my God, say it like you mean it. 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.600 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.440 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.120 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.119 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.560 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:28.720 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.560 to talk to you today about your time for release. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.160 We all have things that come against us and try 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.320 to hinder us and keep us from our destiny. Can 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:43.440 be a sickness, depression child, that's off course. Sometimes we're 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.400 dealing with things that have been passed down, dysfunction that's 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:53.240 been in our family line for generations, addictions, low self esteem, poverty. 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.240 It's easy to accept it and think that's our lot 0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.440 in life. But God didn't create you to live restrict did, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.000 bound or broken. That may be the way it's been, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.200 but that's not the way it's going to stay. God 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.760 has already ordained these times of release, times where he 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.320 looses you from what's holding you back, Times where he 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.239 breaks change, frees you from the sickness, delivers you from oppression, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.320 stops the dysfunction. And yes, we all go through seasons 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.280 of struggle. We have to endure and do the right 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.160 thing when it's hard. Can seem like the opposition is winning. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.680 That will always be held back. We've done what we 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.639 can on our own, but we're not able to change. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.880 The good news is you're not on your own. Jesus 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.520 came to take off of you what the enemy put 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.960 on you. He came to free you from what's bound you, 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.960 to loose you from what's restricting you. Everything that's limiting 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.600 you has no right to stay. You are God's property. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:01.040 You're about to come in to supernatural release. Something you 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.880 couldn't make happen. Looks like it's permanent. Thoughts will tell 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.880 you you'll always struggle with that sickness. You'll always be addicted, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.280 You'll always be broke, depressed, angry, No get ready. Release 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:18.560 is coming. Release from sickness and chronic pain, Release from 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:25.120 poverty and lack, release from depression and anxiety, release from loneliness, 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:31.920 unfulfilled relationships, release from generational dysfunction. Those forces are being 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:37.280 broken right now. You're being released into freedom, released into wholeness, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.680 released into abundance. You're gonna see beauty for the ashes, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.760 joy for the morning. It's a new day change or breaking. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.720 Walls are coming down. It's your time for release. Three 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.360 Hebrew teenagers wouldn't bow down to the king's golden idol, 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.840 and he was so upset. He had their hands and 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.120 feet bound with cords. The guards tied them up, wrapped 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.160 that rope around again and again, made sure they couldn't 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.680 get free. Then they threw them into a fiery furnace. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.040 Was so hot when the guards put them in, the 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:17.320 guards were killed. Seemed like an impossible situation. Teenagers were bound, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.159 no way to get loose. In the natural, this would 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.960 certainly end their life. But in that furnace, the fire 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.560 didn't burn. Their skin didn't burn, their clothes, didn't burn 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.279 their hair. The only thing that burned were the cords 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.400 that had them bound. God was showing us there's no 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.880 bondage the enemy puts on you that he can't break. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:44.039 There's no addiction, no depression, no sickness that he can't 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.279 free you from. Yes, there will be opposition. The enemy 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:53.400 will try to bind restrict. Sometimes it seems permanent. Medical 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.720 report is not good. We think, man, I'm restricted by 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:01.480 this cancer, a child's off course, this ad, this anger, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:06.000 this loneliness is holding me back. Those cords are only temporary. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.320 Your time of release is coming. The same God that 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.599 burned up the ropes that were holding them captive is 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.560 about to burn up what's restricting you. And it's significant 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.919 that God could have brought them out that fire still 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.080 bound up when the king checked on them, could have 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.600 seen them still alive, brought them out, then untied them. 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.880 That still would have been a great miracle. But God 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.840 on purpose caused the cords to be burned off. He 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.640 wanted us to see him not just as a god 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.480 who protects, but as a god who releases, a god 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.839 who frees from oppression, a god who breaks bondages, a 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:50.400 god who unties cords that have confined you. Maybe it's 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.760 people that are holding you back. Unfair situations are injustice, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.080 like these teenagers. You've done the right thing, but opposition 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.760 came and now it's like your hands are tied. It's 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.640 limiting your destiny. The good news is there's a fourth 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.400 man in that fire with you, not only to protect you, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.719 that's great, but he's also there to free you. The 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.800 enemy tried to use the fire to stop your purpose, 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.360 but God is going to use it to burn up 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.680 what's limiting you. Release is coming, freedom is coming, healing 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.039 is coming, breakthroughs are coming. I don't know, Joel. I've 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.240 had this anxiety a long time. These people at work 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.520 have always been against me. Nobody in my family is 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:40.040 really successful. No, you have to receive the release. It's 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.279 not going to happen if you're talking yourself out of it, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.040 filled with doubt. Victory starts in her mind. Tune all 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.600 that out, get in agreement with God Father. I believe 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.320 it's my time for release. That every force that's holding 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.520 me back is being broken. That you are taking off 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.040 of me. What's trying to stop me? I talked to 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.520 a young man as a little boy. He had a 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.560 dream to become an engineer. It's very bright, had these 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.600 big goals. His father passed at a young age. He 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.160 was raised by a hard working single parent mother. She 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.280 did her best, but she wasn't around that much. He 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.000 started running with the wrong crowd, god involved in drugs. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.480 Grades went down and didn't get the scholarship he was 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.760 hoping for. He went to junior college, but he would 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.960 hardly show up for class. He ended up dropping out 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:38.280 for sixteen years. He was addicted, depressed, broken and lonely. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.120 He'd accepted that was his lot in life. He knew 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.400 it was his fault. He didn't make good choices. He's 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.320 flipping through the channels one night, and he heard me 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.200 talking about how you're never too far gone, how God 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.080 can free you and put you back on course and 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.680 still make something great out of your life. Something came 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.920 alive on the inside. He'd never heard anyone speak faith 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.320 over him. That night he gave his life to Christ. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.520 Not only did he feel that hopelessness lift off of him, 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.640 but he was completely freed from that addiction. He had 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.920 tried to break it again and again, no success. But 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:22.160 in one moment, he was free. What happened, He came 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.280 in to his time of release. What you couldn't do 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.400 on your own, God is going to make happen for you. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.240 He's going to take off of you what was put 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.880 on you. The addiction, the shame, the defeat. May be 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.720 too much for you, but it is not too much 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.720 for our God. He knows what you struggle with. He 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.360 sees what's hindering you, what's keeping you from your dreams. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.880 Seems like it's permanent, it could never change. But like 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.560 this young man, your time of release is coming. Freedom 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.439 is coming, healing is coming, Your dream is still coming. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.920 Things that have hindered you are being broken. Cords that 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:11.640 have bound you, addictions, bad influences, generational dysfunction, Those things 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.360 that have you tied up are being burned off. God's 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.240 about to step in and do what you could not do. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.080 You're going to feel a supernatural strength, a power that 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.600 enables you to break bondage, favor that catapults you ahead. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.880 This young man went back to school and he just 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.600 graduated with his engineering degree, and he already has a 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.920 position lined up at a big company. He's engaged to 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.120 a beautiful young woman. They're here at Lakewood every week. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.680 He said, Joel, I never dreamed, after all I've been through, 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.400 I could be this happy, this blessed, this fulfilled. That's 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.160 what happens when God takes off of you, what's hindering you, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.720 When he frees you from what's restricting you. You're not 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.800 doing life on your own. There is a power at 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.160 that's for you, that is far greater than any power 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.560 that's trying to stop you. Now, sometimes we find ourselves 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.800 in the furnace, like these teenagers tied up. We can't 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.040 get loose on our own, but that fourth Man will 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.800 show up not just to protect you, but he's going 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.679 to free you. He's going to break addictions, break lack 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.200 and struggle. He has these times of release where he's 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.280 going to do what only he can do. Luke, Chapter thirteen. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.640 Jesus was in a synagogue teaching, and he saw a 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:37.160 lady that had been sick for eighteen years. She has 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.080 bent over and not able to stand up. He was 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.880 the Sabbath. They weren't supposed to do any work on 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.920 that day. The religious leaders were standing there watching Jesus 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.600 to see what he would do. He said to them, 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:54.400 should not this woman whom Satan has bound be loose 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.600 from this sickness? He said, the enemy has bound this woman. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.480 The Enemy has put something on her that's restricting her 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.120 and keeping her from enjoying her life. You need to 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:10.600 see sickness and anything that's limiting you as not welcome. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.760 It's on foreign territory. Your body is a temple of 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.360 the Most High God. Jesus went over said to her, woman, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.840 you are loosed from your sickness. Instantly she was healed. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.800 She stood up straight first time in eighteen years. That's 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.560 what happens when God releases you from what the enemy 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:37.120 put on you. Healing comes, freedom comes, victory comes. There 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.000 may be things that have you bound, a sickness and addiction, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.720 a problem at work that won't seem to go away. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.880 You've tried to get free. Nothing is help. God is 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.560 saying to you what he said to this woman. You 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.120 are loose from what's hindering you. This is your time 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.400 of release. That sickness is not permanent. You are loose 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.440 from that cancer. Depression is not how your story ends. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.280 You are loose from that depression. Now receive the release. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.720 You may not feel any different, you may not see 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.000 anything change. Yet you have to walk by faith and 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.240 not by sight. Father, thank you that I am healed. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.920 Thank you that I am free. Thank you that my 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.960 child is on course. Lord, I believe that every bondage 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.760 has been taken off of me. What significant is? It 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.640 wasn't up to the woman to get free from what 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.800 had her bound. She had tried for eighteen years, in 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.920 her own strength, her own efforts. She wasn't able to. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.840 But God has these moments where he says, enough is enough. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.520 I'm going to free you from what's hindering you. I 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.240 believe today is your time of release. You're going to 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.760 see things begin to improve. What's been a struggle in 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.480 the past is not going to be a struggle anymore. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.800 You are being loose from lack. Can't seem to get ahead. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.800 Take one's step forward, two steps backwards. It's like that 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.160 spirit of not enough follows you around today. That bondage 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.160 has been broken. You're going to lend and not borrow. 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:14.480 What you touch will prosper and succeed. Good breaks are 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.080 going to find you. You will be the head and 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.920 not the tale. How did this happen in your own power? No, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.640 God stepped in and said you are loosed from that bondage. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.760 A friend of mine was perfectly healthy in his forties, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.160 has a beautiful wife and children. He went in for 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:36.360 a routine checkup and discovered that he had stage four cancer. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.320 Flew to MD Anderson here in Houston, got a second opinion. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.760 They confirmed it gave him less than two years to live, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.840 and he put up scriptures all over his house like 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.800 my mother did. I will live and not die. God 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.040 is restoring health back into me. He knew that God 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.560 was in control, that he had the final say. He 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.800 took the treatment. It slowed things down but the prognosis 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.840 still wasn't good. He was scheduled to come to town 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.680 for surgery, and they were hoping to remove some of 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.760 the cancer and possibly give him more time. The specialists 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.960 made it very clear they were only talking about a 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.280 few more months. I spoke with him the day before 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:20.160 the surgery, and he was very concerned. He was a believer, 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.920 but you know, he's a little bit worrying. The next 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.400 day he called me and could hardly speak. He said, Joel, 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.480 when they opened me up, they couldn't find any cancer 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:35.560 in my body. The doctors were totally baffled. The main specialists, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.680 who comes from a different faith, wrote on his chart, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:43.520 this had to be divine intervention. When God says you 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.960 are loose from that affliction, all the forces of darkness 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.560 cannot stop you. Jesus said, should not this woman be loosed? 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:56.200 Being a daughter of Abraham. Daughter of Abraham meant she 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.600 was a part of the covenant that God made with Abraham. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.040 She wasn't just any random woman. She had rights and 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:08.160 privileges because of whose family line she was in Like her, 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.480 You're not just anyone. You're a child of the most 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.160 High God. He hadn't picked you he put his DNA 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.040 in you. If Jesus were here today, he would say 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.840 about you should not, this man, should not this woman. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.600 Being a child of the Most High, be free from 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.440 this addiction, Be free from this sickness, be free from 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.920 this limitation. I talked to a couple last week. They've 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.760 been trying to have a baby with no success, and 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.320 they took the treatments. The experts say it's not going 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.160 to happen. But God is saying, I'm loosing you from 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:47.360 that bearingness. A healthy baby is on the way. Maybe 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.560 you've been lonely, haven't met the right person. Seems like 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.760 it's never going to happen. God is loosing you from 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:58.360 that loneliness. The right person is going to find you well. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.000 You tried to accomplish your dreams, but doors closed. No 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.800 one would help. One set back after another. God is 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.840 saying you're being loosed from what's hindering you. New doors 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.440 are about to open. Opportunity is going to track you down. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.400 People will go out of their way to help you. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.840 You can't explain it. It doesn't make sense. It's a 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.400 time of release where you're being loosed from things that 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.880 have restricted you. Now you have to let this take 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.640 root in your spirit. Thoughts will tell you nothing has changed. 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.280 The problem looks just the same. Be a believer and 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.240 not a doubter. Bondages have been broken, Restrictions have been lifted. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:44.560 You've been released into increase, released into favor, released into 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.560 new levels. When Jesus declared this woman was free and 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.560 she stood up straight, it's funny. The religious leaders didn't 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:58.040 like it. They got upset, started finding fault, criticizing. It's 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:03.200 the same way today. Decle you're free, you're blessed, you're healed, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.000 you're forgiven. Bondages are broken. Some people may try to 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.199 talk you out of it. How could that need? God's 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.199 not gonna bless you. You've made too many mistakes. That 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.399 sickness is permanent. I saw the report. Let that go 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.320 in one ear and out the other. They're not going 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.360 to understand, but that's okay. Their doubt is not going 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.560 to stop what God's about to do. Sometimes we're being 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.200 limited by negative things in our family line that have 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:39.080 been passed down, generational baggage, anger, addictions, low self esteem. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.600 Some families, everyone gets divorced. You go back generations and 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.280 no one stayed married. Some families there's a spirit of 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:51.320 lack and struggle. No one can get ahead other families. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:56.360 There's depression and negativity. The mother was depressed, grandmother depressed, 0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.720 great grandfather. It's a spirit that keeps going from generation 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.560 to generation. I believe you're the one to break negative 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.359 things in your family life. You're the one God is 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:14.320 going to release from that baggage. Instead of that generational curse, 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.720 you're gonna start a generational blessing. You're gonna pass down 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.200 things that make it better on your family and not worse. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.840 This is what happened in the scripture with Jacob. He 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:30.280 had no integrity. He was dishonest and manipulative. He went 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.119 around deceiving people. He tricked his brother out of his birthright. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.320 And what's interesting is his mother was the same way. 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.720 She's the one that came up with the plan to 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.600 deceive his father Isaac into giving Jacob the blessing that 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:50.040 belonged to Esau, the firstborn son. Isaac was very old 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.120 and nearly blind. She told Jacob to dress up like Esau. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.880 She would make the special soup that Esau always made 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.920 his father. Jacob could take that and pretend he was Esau. Well, 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.520 the plan worked, he deceived his father and got the blessing. 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.679 No wonder, Jacob was a schemer, manipulative. It ran in 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.600 the family. When Esau found out what happened, he was 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.560 so angry that Jacob had to flee for his life. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.520 He went to another city and lived with his uncle Laban. 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.560 Jacob agreed to work for him for seven years. He 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.040 would give him his daughter Rachel in marriage. The problem 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:34.280 was Laban was dishonest too, He was a schemer, a manipulator. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.080 After seven years, Jacob fulfilled his promise. But at the 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.600 wedding he must have had too much to drink, because 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.520 the next morning he woke up, but it wasn't Rachel 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.720 in bed, it was the older daughter, Leah. Jacob nearly 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:52.600 passed out. He said, Uncle Laban, you tricked me. You 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.560 didn't keep your word. Jacob shouldn't have been surprised. That's 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.119 how he grew up tricking people. That same spirit, hear 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:04.640 it ran all through the family. Well years later, Jacob 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:08.160 wanted to return home. He didn't like who he had become. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:13.160 He knew he was dishonest, lived deceiving people. One night, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.920 as they were traveling, he sent his wives and all 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.920 of his family ahead of him. That left him alone 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.639 at this river bank. I can imagine him looking up 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.480 at the stars and reflecting back on his life, knowing 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.320 he was about to see his brother Esau. It was 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.240 not only a little worried, but he was down on himself, thinking, 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.080 I'm not proud of who I am. I chieat people, 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:41.440 I'm dishonest. Suddenly this man showed up. Jacob didn't realize it. 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.680 It was an angel. They started wrestling and struggling. At 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.760 one point, the angel asked him what his name was. 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.360 He answered, I am Jacob. The angel said, you will 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.360 no longer be called Jacob. Your new name will be Israel. 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:04.280 Jacob means deceiver, coniver. Israel means prince with God. It 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:10.200 was that moment that the spirit of deception, dishonesty, no integrity, 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:14.240 was broken off of Jacob. God, in his mercy, said, 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.040 enough is enough. This generational baggage is coming to an end. 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:24.360 From that day forward, you never read where Jacob deceived. 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:29.640 Where he manipulated, didn't show up in his children, his grandchildren. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:35.040 In fact, his son Joseph had incredible integrity, impeccable character. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.720 How could this be from a father that was known 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:43.240 for dishonesty in grandmother that deceived people, a great uncle 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.320 that was a manipulator. Jacob came into a time of 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:51.080 release where the most High stepped in and put a 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:55.200 stop to what was limiting his family. There may be 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.440 things that have been passed down to you. You tried 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:02.920 to overcome your best, to stand strong, but those same 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.720 hindering spirits are holding you back. Same anger, same depression, 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:12.160 same compromise. Seems like you'll always struggle with it. It'll 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.200 get passed on to the next generation. No, like with Jacob, 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.520 God is saying enough is enough. What you can't do, 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.280 God is going to do for you. He's sending the Angel, 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:29.320 He's sending the deliverance. It's your time for release. No 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.440 more passing down negative baggage, no more dealing with those 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:38.080 same hindering spirits that are restricting you and holding your 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:42.520 family back. Today is a day of freedom. Bondages are 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:47.480 being broken, Generational curses are coming to an end, Generational 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:51.639 blessings are beginning. It's a new day. God has changed 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:56.919 your name. No more deceiver, compromise, or mediocrity. You are 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:04.440 a prince with God blessed, strong, valuable, confident, righteous, successful, 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:10.720 victorious in Jesus's name. God said about Jacob Genesis thirty five, 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:15.440 you will multiply and become a great nation. Kings will 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.600 be in your descendants. I will give you all the land, 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:23.560 I promise your father and grandfather. This was after years 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:27.679 of deceiving people, years of being dishonest. But when the 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:32.440 angel changed his name, when the bondage was broken, God said, 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.200 now that you're free, I'm gonna bless you in ways 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.440 you've never imagined. I'm gonna do awesome things in your life. 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:44.159 God doesn't hold our mistakes against us. You haven't missed 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.240 your destiny because you struggle with some things. Freedom is coming, 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:53.680 Wholeness is coming, Blessing is coming. Jesus said in Luke four, 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.520 the spirit of the Lord is upon me to announce 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.360 freedom to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.720 to set at liberty those that are oppressed, to declare 0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:08.880 the time of God's fever has come. That's what I'm 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:14.280 doing today. I'm announcing freedom, I'm announcing victory. I'm announcing 0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:18.199 your time for release has come. But I'm sure back 0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:21.480 in those days when they heard Jesus, some people thought 0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.760 this isn't for me, I never get any good breaks. 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.480 They missed out on what God had in store. Don't 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.160 do like them. You have to get in agreement with God. God. 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.760 I received this today. I believe you're releasing me from 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:41.120 every bondage. I believe restrictions have been broken. Generational baggage 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.560 has come to an end. What has hindered me in 0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.320 the past will hinder me no more. You are stepping 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:51.320 into a new day of freedom, blessing, and victory. Receive 0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:56.120 it by faith. Matthew eighteen says whatever you bind on 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.440 earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:03.480 earth will be loosed in heaven. One translation gives it 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:08.040 more clarity. It says whatever is already bound in heaven, 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:12.560 you can bind on earth, meaning there's no sickness in heaven. 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.280 There's no depression in heaven, no addictions. So we can 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:21.639 stand against those things and we can lose freedom, loose victory. 0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.200 I want to do that today. Will you come into 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:33.160 agreement with me? I bind depression, discouragement, hopelessness. I loose joy, happiness, contentment. 0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:40.800 I bind sickness, cancer, heart trouble, diabetes, inflammation, chronic pain. 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:48.800 I lose healing, vitality, strength along life. I bind lack poverty, 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:56.080 not enough, can't get ahead. I lose abundance, good breaks, opportunity, overflow. 0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:03.679 I bind generational curses, limitations, pass down, hereditary baggage. I 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:09.639 lose generational blessings. I lose breakthroughs, turnarounds, new standards for 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:14.360 your family. I bind forces that are trying to get 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:20.440 our children off course, bad influences, poor judgment, identity, confusion. 0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:28.280 I lose purpose, destiny, good friends, clear direction. I bind addictions, 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:35.359 bad habits, alcoholism, drug abuse. I lose freedom, wholeness, and victory. 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:44.440 I bind insecurity, low self esteem, unworthiness. I lose boldness, confidence, value, 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:52.160 I bind negativity, pessimism, a bad attitude. I lose hope, faith, expectancy. 0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.680 I lose a bright future for you and your family. 0:26:56.400 --> 0:27:01.640 I believe and declare your time of releases. Here bondages 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:06.159 have been broken, restrictions have been removed. You will rise higher, 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:11.400 accomplish dreams, and reach the fullness of your destiny.
