0:00Father, we honor you. We honor you,
0:02Lord. You are the Lord of the midnight
0:04hour. You are the God who was awake when
0:07Jacob wrestled at Peniel. You were awake
0:10when Paul and Silas sang at midnight.
0:12You were awake when the angel of death
0:15passed over Egypt. You were awake when
0:17Gideon blew his trumpet in the darkness,
0:20and you are awake right now. You are
0:22awake right now over every life that has
0:25gathered in this place and every life
0:27that is connected to this stream.
0:28Father, we receive you. We welcome the
0:31Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit. Come.
0:34Move among us tonight. Move among us.
0:37Let heaven bend low. Let the atmosphere
0:39shift. Let every veil be torn. Let every
0:43resistance be scattered. And let your
0:45power, the undiluted, raw, apostolic
0:50power of the living God rest upon this
0:53place tonight in [music] Jesus' name.
0:55Somebody shout a big amen.
0:57I want you to do something right now
0:59before we go any further. I want you to
1:01share this message. Share it. Right now,
1:03pick up your phone. Share this stream.
1:05Share this message. Post [music] it.
1:07Send it to someone. You don't know who
1:08is sitting in darkness right now. You
1:11don't know whose midnight is more than a
1:12[music] clock reading. It is a season.
1:15It is a crisis. It is a moment of
1:17despair. And God wants to use you as
1:20[music] a carrier of light into their
1:23situation.
1:24When you share this message, you are not
1:26just forwarding content. You are
1:28carrying an anointing. You are becoming
1:30an instrument.
1:31>> [music]
1:31>> God will use ordinary people to reach
1:33extraordinary destinies. Share it.
1:36Do it now. And as you do it, speak over
1:39whoever is receiving it. This message is
1:41your turning point. Say it with faith.
1:44Let someone's life change tonight
1:46because you pressed the button. Now,
1:49open your Bible. Open your Bible. We're
1:51going to the word. We're going to the
1:53word because everything must be
1:54anchored. Fire without the word is
1:57emotionalism, but fire with the word,
2:00that is the Holy Ghost. That is the
2:02consuming fire of God. So, open your
2:04Bible and let's go.
2:06The first passage I want to take you to
2:07tonight is in the book of Micah. Micah
2:10chapter 7 and verse 8. Write it down.
2:13Micah chapter 7 verse 8.
2:16The Bible says, and I want you to read
2:17it slowly because every word is a
2:19weapon.
2:20It says, "Rejoice not against me, oh
2:22mine enemy. When I fall, I shall arise.
2:25When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall
2:28be a light unto me."
2:30Did you see that? When I sit in
2:31darkness, not if, when. This is not a
2:34hypothetical. This is a testimony
2:36waiting to happen. There are moments in
2:38a man's life, moments in a woman's life,
2:41in a family's life, when darkness is not
2:43just outside, it [music] has come
2:45inside. When the reports are dark, when
2:49the relationships are dark, when the
2:51finances are dark, when the health is
2:53dark, when the future looks dark, and
2:56the enemy uses darkness as a platform,
2:59he uses darkness [music] as a theater
3:01for his operations. He is most
3:03comfortable in the dark. He sends his
3:06arrows in the dark. He lays his ambushes
3:09in the dark. He whispers his lies in the
3:12dark.
3:13He deploys his agents in the dark. He
3:15walks at midnight. But what does the man
3:18of God say in Micah? He doesn't say, "I
3:20will run from the darkness." He doesn't
3:22say, "I will pretend the darkness
3:23[music] is not real." He says,
3:26"When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall
3:28be a light unto me." The Lord, not a
3:31friend, not a counselor, not a strategy,
3:34the Lord. The Lord himself shall be a
3:36light.
3:38That means the solution to your darkness
3:40is not information, it is illumination.
3:43It is not a plan, it is a person, and
3:45that person is in this room tonight.
3:48Now, the second passage. Come with me to
3:51Acts chapter 16. Acts chapter 16 and
3:54we'll read from verse 25. I need you to
3:56see this. Paul and Silas, they are not
3:58in a prayer meeting.
4:00They are not in a comfortable church
4:01building. They are not worshipping from
4:03a place of comfort. They are in prison.
4:05Their feet are in stocks. Their backs
4:08are bleeding. It is midnight. The Bible
4:11is specific about this. It says, "At
4:13midnight." Midnight is not accidental
4:16here. Midnight is a theological marker.
4:19Midnight is the deepest, darkest point.
4:22Midnight is the furthest you can get
4:23from dawn. Midnight is when the human
4:25spirit is most tempted to give up.
4:27[music]
4:28Midnight is when hope seems most
4:30distant. But look at what Paul and Silas
4:32do at midnight. Acts chapter [music]
4:3416:25 says, "And at midnight Paul and
4:38Silas prayed and sang praises unto God,
4:41[music] and the prisoners heard them."
4:44And verse 26, "And suddenly there was a
4:46great earthquake [music] so that the
4:48foundations of the prison were shaken,
4:51and immediately all the doors were
4:53opened [music] and everyone's bonds were
4:55loosed."
4:56Suddenly. I need you to see the word
4:58suddenly. Between midnight and [music]
5:00suddenly, there is no long waiting
5:03period described. There is worship.
5:05There is prayer.
5:07>> [music]
5:07>> And then there is suddenly. That means
5:09tonight, in this atmosphere of worship
5:12and prayer, somebody suddenly is being
5:15triggered. Somebody's chains are about
5:17to fall. Somebody's doors are about to
5:20open, and it didn't start in the
5:21morning, it started at midnight. God
5:23works at midnight. Now, let me preach to
5:26you for a moment. I need you to sit down
5:29in your spirit, even if you are standing
5:30physically. Sit down in your spirit
5:32because there is a revelation that must
5:34enter your understanding tonight.
5:37The enemy does not choose midnight
5:39arbitrarily. Nothing the enemy does is
5:41random. He is a strategist. He has been
5:44studying humanity for thousands of
5:46years. He knows patterns, [music] he
5:49knows vulnerabilities, he knows when the
5:51human spirit is weakest.
5:54And listen carefully, he knows that
5:56there is a category of people who will
5:59pray at 8:00 a.m., who will fast at
6:02noon, who will worship on Sunday
6:04morning, but who will not pray at
6:06midnight.
6:07He knows that there are territories,
6:09dimensions of the spirit, gates of
6:11destiny that are only accessible through
6:14warfare that happens in the deep hours.
6:16He knows it, so he occupies that
6:19territory. Are you following me? He
6:21sends his emissaries at midnight.
6:24The Bible says in Psalm 91:5-6, [music]
6:27"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
6:29by night, nor for the arrow that flieth
6:31by day, nor for the pestilence that
6:33walketh in darkness, [music]
6:35nor for the destruction that wasted at
6:37noonday." The terror by night, the
6:40pestilence that walketh in [music]
6:41darkness. These are not metaphors, these
6:43are descriptions of spiritual
6:46operations.
6:47There are things that happen in the
6:49spirit at night that most believers are
6:51completely unaware of because they are
6:53[music] asleep. Physical sleep while
6:57spiritual battles are being fought.
6:59Now, I want to be very clear, I am not
7:01teaching [music] you that sleep is a
7:02sin. God gives his beloved sleep. Psalm
7:06127:2,
7:08>> [music]
7:08>> "Rest is a gift from God."
7:11But there are seasons, there are
7:12appointed seasons where the spirit of
7:15God calls you to watch and pray. Jesus
7:18said in Matthew 26:41,
7:21"Watch and pray that ye enter not into
7:24temptation. The spirit indeed is
7:26willing, but the flesh is weak. Watch
7:28and pray, not just pray.
7:31Watch and pray."
7:33The watching is the awareness that there
7:35is a battle happening that your prayers
7:37must engage. Now, listen,
7:40there are three levels of night
7:42operations in the spirit. I want to give
7:44you this as a framework. Write this
7:46down. The first level is what I call
7:48passive darkness. This is where the
7:51enemy just creates an atmosphere of
7:53confusion, discouragement, delay, and
7:55heaviness.
7:57You're not under a specific attack, but
7:59there's a fog. There's a weight. You
8:01wake up and you don't know why [music]
8:02you feel hopeless. You don't know why
8:04there's a ceiling on your progress.
8:07This is passive darkness, a general
8:09atmosphere that the enemy maintains
8:12through territorial spirits over
8:14regions, families, bloodlines. The
8:17second level is what I call [music]
8:19targeted darkness. This is where you
8:21become a specific assignment, where hell
8:24identifies you as a threat because of
8:27your calling, [music]
8:28because of your destiny, because of the
8:30grace on your life, and it specifically
8:32targets you. The Bible says in 1 Peter
8:35chapter 5 verse 8, "Be sober, be
8:38vigilant, because your adversary [music]
8:40the devil as a roaring lion walketh
8:42about
8:43seeking whom he may devour. Seeking whom
8:46he [music] may devour." There is a
8:48seeking. There is a targeting. There is
8:50a selection process in hell. And the
8:53people who are most targeted are usually
8:56the ones who carry the most glory.
8:58[music] The higher the calling, the more
9:00aggressive the opposition. The third
9:03level is what I call covenantal
9:05darkness. This is where the darkness is
9:07not just circumstantial, not just
9:09targeted, it is covenantal. It is rooted
9:12in a covenant, a covenant made by
9:16ancestors.
9:17A covenant made in ignorance, a covenant
9:20that was sealed with blood, with oaths,
9:23with rituals, and these covenantal
9:25structures give darkness legal access to
9:28a life, a family, a lineage.
9:32Until those covenants are broken, until
9:35those altars are pulled down, the
9:37darkness keeps regenerating. You pray,
9:40you get a measure of breakthrough, and
9:42then it [music] returns because the root
9:44has not been addressed.
9:46Tonight, I want you to hear me tonight.
9:47We're addressing all three levels.
9:49Passive darkness is being scattered,
9:52targeted darkness is being destroyed,
9:54and covenantal darkness is being legally
9:57dismantled through the blood of Jesus
9:59Christ. Somebody shout hallelujah.
10:02Now, let me go deeper into the theology
10:04of midnight because I don't want you to
10:06just pray. I want you to understand what
10:07you're [music] doing when you pray at
10:08midnight. Understanding adds authority
10:11to your prayer.
10:13A soldier who knows why he's fighting is
10:15far more dangerous than one who is just
10:17following orders. Knowledge of the word
10:20gives [music] your prayer legal weight
10:22in the spirit.
10:23Look at Exodus chapter 12. I need you to
10:25see this. Exodus chapter 12 verse 29.
10:28This is the night [music] of Passover,
10:31the most dramatic deliverance in the
10:33history of the Old Testament, [music]
10:35the liberation of an entire nation, the
10:38dismantling of the most powerful empire
10:41in the world at that time. [music] And
10:43notice what time it happened. Verse 29.
10:46And it came [music] to pass that at
10:48midnight, the Lord smote all the
10:50firstborn in the land of Egypt from the
10:53firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his
10:55throne onto the firstborn of the captive
10:57that was in the dungeon, and all the
10:59firstborn of cattle.
11:01At midnight, the Lord smote, not an
11:04angel primarily, though an angel was
11:06involved, the Lord smote. God himself
11:09became violent at midnight on behalf of
11:12his people. The most powerful operation
11:15of divine judgment and divine
11:17deliverance happened at midnight, not at
11:209:00 a.m., not during the morning
11:22sacrifice, midnight.
11:25And what is happening tonight is that
11:26God is reenacting midnight for someone.
11:29>> [music]
11:29>> The enemy has held you, the enemy has
11:32kept your household. The enemy has
11:35locked doors over your destiny.
11:37And tonight God is saying midnight has
11:39come. And at midnight the Lord smote.
11:42Now, let me show you another midnight.
11:44Come with me to Matthew chapter 25
11:46[music] verses 1 through 6. The parable
11:48of the 10 virgins. I want you to see the
11:51cry that went out.
11:53Verse 6, "And at midnight there was a
11:55cry made, 'Behold, the bridegroom
11:57cometh. Go ye out to meet him.'" At
12:00midnight a cry went out, "The bridegroom
12:03is coming." [music] This is prophetic.
12:05This tells you that midnight is not just
12:07a time of warfare. It is a time of
12:10visitation. It is a time of encounter.
12:12It is a time when God shows up. It is a
12:15time of destiny. The cry went out at
12:17midnight, "The bridegroom cometh." I
12:20want to prophesy to someone right now.
12:22The very thing that has delayed you, the
12:25very thing [music] that has held back
12:27the visitation you've been waiting for,
12:29is about to break. The bridegroom is
12:31coming.
12:31>> [music]
12:32>> And he is coming at midnight. He's
12:35coming in the darkness of your
12:37situation. He's coming in the middle of
12:39the crisis. He's coming in the middle of
12:41the medical report. He's coming in the
12:44middle of the financial collapse. He's
12:47coming in the middle of the broken
12:48relationship. He's coming. And when he
12:51comes, there is light. When he comes,
12:54there is power. When he comes, there is
12:56transformation.
12:57The question [music] is, do you have
12:59oil? Do you have the oil of the Holy
13:01Spirit? Do you have the resource of the
13:04spirit [music] to recognize his coming
13:06and to meet him? And I believe that
13:09everyone connected to this stream
13:10tonight has oil. Has oil. And the cry
13:13[music] is going out tonight, "The
13:15bridegroom is coming. Meet him. Open
13:17your heart. Open your spirit." This is
13:20the midnight of your visitation.
13:22Let me show you one more midnight
13:23scripture before we go into the depths
13:25of warfare. Come to Psalm 119 verse 62.
13:29David the warrior worshiper, the man
13:31after God's own heart, [music] the king
13:33who understood both the throne room and
13:35the battlefield. David says,
13:37"At midnight I will rise to give thanks
13:40unto thee because of thy righteous
13:42judgments. At midnight I will rise."
13:45Not at midnight I will wonder [music] if
13:47I should rise. Not at midnight I will
13:49feel heavy and stay in bed. He says, "I
13:51will rise."
13:53>> [music]
13:53>> This is a decision, a violent decision,
13:56a declaration of intent. I will rise at
13:59midnight to give thanks.
14:01And here is the revelation buried in
14:03this verse. David gives thanks at
14:05midnight not for blessings, not for
14:08breakthroughs, but for what? For the
14:10righteous judgments of God, the
14:12righteous judgments.
14:14That means David had come to understand
14:17something about God that most believers
14:19never grasp.
14:20>> [music]
14:20>> God's judgments are not punishment, they
14:23are precision. They are righteous,
14:25[music] they are accurate.
14:28They are targeted. And when God's
14:30judgment falls on the works of darkness
14:32in your life, it is not random, it is
14:34righteous, it is legal, it is backed by
14:38the blood of Jesus, by the word of God,
14:40by the covenant of God. So when you pray
14:43tonight, you are not begging, you are
14:45not hoping that maybe God will hear you,
14:48you are enforcing [music]
14:49righteous judgments. You are calling for
14:52the decrees of heaven to be executed on
14:54earth.
14:55You are the instrument of divine
14:56judgment against [music] darkness. You
14:59are partnering with the court of heaven.
15:01You are presenting your case before the
15:03ancient of days and the judge of all the
15:06earth is ruling in your favor tonight.
15:09Tonight,
15:10I feel something in this [music] place.
15:12I feel fire. I feel the presence of the
15:15Holy Spirit. I feel angels being
15:17commissioned. I feel assignments being
15:19received. I feel destiny being
15:22rearranged.
15:23I feel chains being broken.
15:26I feel gates being opened. There is
15:28something happening right now in the
15:30spirit, something real, something
15:32tangible, something that is not going to
15:35leave you the same way it found you.
15:37So, you can pray by [music] yourself,
15:39but the power in corporate prayer is
15:40astounding. When two or three are
15:42gathered, Jesus said, "There I am in the
15:44midst."
15:46So, we are gathered some physically,
15:48some virtually, some watching hours
15:51later, [music] but in the spirit we are
15:52one body, one body, one voice.
15:56And one voice ascending to heaven from a
15:58unified [music] body carries the weight
16:00of corporate anointing. And corporate
16:02anointing breaks what individual prayer
16:04has struggled to break. [music] Now, let
16:06me talk to you about the enemy's
16:08midnight operations.
16:09I want to expose the works of darkness
16:11because you cannot fight what you cannot
16:13see.
16:14John chapter 10:10 [music] says, "The
16:16thief cometh not but for to steal and to
16:19kill and to destroy." Three operations:
16:22stealing, killing, destroying. And these
16:26three operations have midnight
16:27dimensions.
16:29The stealing of destiny happens at
16:31midnight. There are people who were born
16:34with extraordinary purpose,
16:36extraordinary gifts, extraordinary grace
16:39on their lives. And at a certain point
16:41in their journey, something shifted,
16:43something was taken.
16:45They can feel it, but they can't explain
16:48it. A gifted child who becomes ordinary,
16:52a promising life that stagnates, a
16:55bright future that dims.
16:58A relationship that had the presence of
17:00God and then suddenly the life went out
17:02of it. Something was stolen. It was
17:05stolen in the night, stolen through
17:08ancestral portals, through covenantal
17:11access, through ungodly soul ties,
17:13through occult operations.
17:16Tonight, everything that was stolen is
17:18being returned. The enemy is not a thief
17:20who operates without consequence. He
17:22stole, [music] but he will repay.
17:25Proverbs chapter 6 verse 31 says that if
17:27a thief is found, he shall restore
17:29sevenfold. Sevenfold restoration is your
17:32portion tonight. [music]
17:34The killing of vision happens at
17:35midnight.
17:37There are people in this place tonight
17:38whose vision has died. Not your physical
17:41eyes, your prophetic eyes. The vision
17:43for your life, the dream, the
17:45assignment,
17:47the promise. It died. It died under the
17:50weight of disappointment. [music]
17:52It died under the repeated blows of
17:54failure. It died when the person you
17:56trusted betrayed you. It died when the
17:59business collapsed.
18:01It died when the ministry did not grow
18:03the way you expected. The vision died at
18:05midnight.
18:06>> [music]
18:06>> But I need you to know Ezekiel chapter
18:0737. Come to Ezekiel chapter 37.
18:10>> [music]
18:10>> Valley of dry bones,
18:13the prophet is brought into a valley
18:14full of death, full of what was
18:18full of the remains of what should have
18:19been. And God asked Ezekiel a question
18:22in verse three, "Can these bones live?
18:25Can these bones live? Can the dead
18:28vision be resurrected?
18:30Can the dead dream be brought back? Can
18:33the dead relationship be restored? Can
18:36the dead ministry breathe again?"
18:38And Ezekiel says, "Oh Lord God, thou
18:40knowest." [music]
18:41And then God says, "Prophesy upon these
18:43bones. Speak to the dead things. Call
18:45them back to life. Call life into death.
18:48Call the impossible into the natural.
18:51Prophesy."
18:53That's what we are doing tonight. We are
18:54prophesying to dead bones. We are
18:56speaking to the graveyard of failed
18:58dreams. We are calling back what was
19:00buried. We are commanding resurrection
19:03over every area of your life where death
19:06has set in.
19:07And then there is the destroying of
19:09peace at midnight. The enemy attacks
19:12peace because peace is the environment
19:15in which God works. The Bible says he is
19:18Jehovah Shalom, the Lord of peace.
19:20And when the enemy destroys your peace,
19:22[music] he creates an environment
19:24hostile to the presence of God. Anxiety,
19:27fear, restlessness, sleeplessness,
19:30nightmares.
19:32These are all midnight operations of the
19:34enemy designed to destroy your peace and
19:37thereby limit your access to God's
19:38presence. But the Bible says in John
19:41chapter 14 verse 27,
19:42>> [music]
19:43>> "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give
19:45unto you. Not as the world giveth, give
19:48I unto you. Let not your heart be
19:50troubled, neither let it be afraid."
19:52Jesus said, "Let not." That is a command
19:54to your own heart. You have authority
19:56over your peace. You are not a victim of
19:58anxiety.
20:00You are not helpless against fear. The
20:02moment you receive the peace of Jesus,
20:05the peace that surpasses all
20:07understanding, Philippians chapter 4
20:09verse 7, that peace becomes a garrison.
20:12It becomes a fortress around your heart
20:14and mind. The enemy cannot penetrate a
20:17garrison of divine peace.
20:19So tonight, right now, in this moment, I
20:21declare that the peace of God that
20:23passes all understanding is descending
20:25upon your mind, upon your heart, upon
20:28your emotions, upon your nervous system.
20:31The shalom of Jehovah, total wellness,
20:33total completeness, total lack of
20:36nothing is coming upon you like a flood.
20:38And every spirit of anxiety, every
20:41spirit of fear, every spirit of terror
20:44by night, I command you right now in the
20:46name of Jesus, loose your hold. Loose
20:49your hold on God's people. Let them go.
20:51Let them breathe.
20:53>> [music]
20:53>> Let them rest in the peace of God. Now,
20:55let me talk to you about what midnight
20:57prayer does. Because prayer is not just
21:00a religious activity. Prayer is a
21:02technology. Prayer is the system by
21:05which heaven's resources are released
21:07into the earthly dimension. James
21:09chapter 5 verse 16 says the effectual
21:12fervent prayer of a righteous man
21:14availeth much. The word availeth means
21:18it accomplishes. It has a quantifiable
21:21result. Prayer avails much. It does
21:25much. It accomplishes much. And midnight
21:28prayer, prayer in the deep hours, prayer
21:30[music] when the flesh is crucified
21:32because it wants to sleep. Prayer when
21:34every comfort is surrendered for the
21:37sake of intercession. Midnight prayer
21:39carries a particular weight, a
21:43particular
21:44authority, a particular result. Let me
21:48show you what midnight prayer does.
21:50First, midnight prayer shifts
21:52atmospheres. When Paul and Silas prayed
21:54and sang at midnight, the foundations of
21:56the prison shook. The foundations, not
21:59just the walls, not just the surface,
22:02the foundations,
22:04which means midnight prayer does not
22:07just address what you can see. It goes
22:10to the [music] root, to the foundation,
22:12to the invisible structures that are
22:15holding your visible reality in place.
22:19If the foundation of a building shakes,
22:21the whole building is affected. When the
22:24foundation of the enemy's operation in
22:26your life is shaken, everything built on
22:28that foundation crumbles.
22:31Second, midnight prayer opens doors. The
22:34Bible says in Acts 16:26, immediately
22:37all the doors were opened. All, not
22:39some, not the doors that were
22:41convenient. All the doors.
22:44When you pray at midnight, God opens
22:46doors, closed doors, locked doors, doors
22:49that no man can open. The Bible says in
22:51Revelation chapter 3 verse 8, "Behold, I
22:54have set before thee an open door and no
22:56man can shut it." God sets open doors.
22:59[music]
23:00And tonight, the doors over your life,
23:03the doors of opportunity, the doors
23:05[music] of destiny, the doors of divine
23:07connection, the doors of financial
23:09breakthrough, the doors of healing, the
23:12doors of ministry, every closed door is
23:15being thrown open by the hand of God.
23:17Third, midnight prayer looses every
23:20captive. Everyone's bonds were loosed,
23:23not just Paul's bonds, not just Silas's
23:26bonds. Everyone, there were other
23:28prisoners in that prison.
23:30And the midnight prayer of two men, just
23:32two men, created an atmosphere of
23:34liberation that affected every other
23:37prisoner. When you pray tonight, you are
23:39not just praying for yourself.
23:41You are creating an atmosphere of
23:43liberation that touches everyone
23:45connected to you, your children, your
23:47spouse, your parents, your business
23:50partners, your spiritual sons and
23:52daughters. Everyone's bonds are being
23:55loosed.
23:56Fourth, midnight prayer triggers the
23:59supernatural. There was a great
24:01earthquake, not a small tremor, a great
24:04earthquake. Midnight prayer triggers the
24:06supernatural.
24:07It triggers divine intervention. It
24:10creates earthquakes in the spirit,
24:12seismic shifts in the spiritual
24:14landscape of your life, your family,
24:15your territory, your nation.
24:17When you pray with authority, with the
24:20word, with faith, with the anointing of
24:22the Holy Spirit, there are earthquakes
24:24in the spirit that dismantle the
24:27strongholds of the enemy.
24:29Now, let me give you a word of warning
24:30before we go into prayer because I want
24:32this prayer to be effective. I want it
24:34to hit its mark.
24:36The enemy has a strategy when believers
24:38begin to press into midnight prayer, and
24:40his strategy is threefold. First, he
24:43brings tiredness, overwhelming, sudden,
24:46inexplicable tiredness.
24:49The moment you decide to pray at
24:51midnight, a heaviness comes over you
24:53like a blanket, and it's not just
24:55physical tiredness, it's a spiritual
24:57heaviness that is targeted, engineered,
25:00designed to shut your prayer down before
25:03it reaches its peak. What do you do? You
25:05acknowledge the flesh, but you deny its
25:07throne.
25:08>> [music]
25:08>> You say, "Flesh, I know you are tired.
25:10Body, I know you want sleep.
25:12But there is a battle to fight and a
25:14price to take and we are not stopping."
25:17Then you begin to worship aggressively.
25:19Worship breaks tiredness. Worship opens
25:22your spiritual pores.
25:24Worship shifts the atmosphere in your
25:26spirit. Start with worship and the
25:28tiredness will flee. Second strategy of
25:31the enemy, distraction.
25:33When you start to pray seriously,
25:35suddenly you remember every unfinished
25:37thing. You remember that email you need
25:39to send. You remember that conversation
25:41you need to have. You remember a bill
25:43you forgot to pay. Your mind becomes
25:45like a television changing channels
25:48rapidly. This is not your mind being
25:50efficient. This is the enemy flooding
25:52your thought life with noise to prevent
25:55focused prayer. What do you do? You
25:57write it down. Have a small pad near you
26:00when you pray.
26:01Write it down. I'll handle this later.
26:03And then you declare every thought that
26:05is not of God, I cast it down in the
26:08name of Jesus.
26:09Second Corinthians chapter 10 verses 4
26:12and 5, I pull down imaginations and
26:15every high thing that exalts itself
26:17against the knowledge of God. I bring
26:20every thought into captivity to the
26:22obedience of Jesus Christ. And you
26:25[music] return to prayer.
26:27Third strategy, accusation. As you begin
26:30to press into prayer, the enemy starts
26:32to remind you of your failures, [music]
26:36your sins,
26:37your inconsistencies. Who do you think
26:40you are praying [music] like this? Do
26:41you think God will answer you after what
26:43you did? Do you know what you are? Do
26:45you know what you've done? And the goal
26:47is to make you feel unworthy and
26:49therefore powerless [music] in prayer.
26:52What do you do? You don't argue with the
26:53accusation. You agree with the weakness,
26:56but you point to the blood. You say
26:58you're right. I am weak. I have failed.
27:01I have sinned. But the blood of Jesus
27:03Christ God's son cleanses me from all
27:06sin. [music] First John chapter 1 verse
27:087. And because of the blood, I have
27:11access. I have boldness.
27:14Hebrews chapter 10 verses 19 and 20 says
27:16I have boldness to enter into the
27:18holiest by the blood of Jesus by a new
27:21and living way. I am not here on my
27:23merit. I am here on his merit. And his
27:26merit never fails.
27:29Now we're going into prayer. And I want
27:31you to pray with everything you have.
27:34Pray with your voice. Pray loud. I know
27:36some of you are in environments where
27:38you cannot pray loud. I understand.
27:40But let your spirit be loud even if your
27:43voice is a whisper. The spirit of God
27:45hears the cry of your heart. He hears
27:48the groan that cannot be uttered.
27:50Romans chapter 8 verse 26 says the
27:52spirit himself makes intercession for us
27:56with groanings that cannot be uttered.
27:59So even if your voice is limited, let
28:01your spirit be unlimited. Let's go into
28:03prayer. [music] Lift your hands. Lift
28:05them high. Father, we come we come in
28:08the name of Jesus. The name that is
28:09above every name. The name at which
28:12every knee bows in heaven, in earth, and
28:15under the earth.
28:16We come under the authority of that
28:18name. We come under the covering of the
28:20blood of Jesus. We plead the blood. The
28:23blood that speaks better things than the
28:25blood of Abel. The blood that was shed
28:28on Calvary for the remission of sins,
28:30for the breaking of covenants, for the
28:32destruction of the works of the devil.
28:34Father, we plead the blood [music] over
28:36every life gathered here.
28:39Over every soul connected to this
28:41stream, let the blood speak. Let the
28:44blood enforce its authority. Let the
28:47blood repel every arrow, every
28:49assignment, every operation of darkness
28:52against us tonight.
28:53Lord, we honor the Holy Spirit. Holy
28:56Spirit, you are welcome here. You are
28:58the spirit of power. You are the spirit
29:00of might. You are the spirit of wisdom
29:03and understanding.
29:04>> [music]
29:04>> You are the spirit of counsel and might.
29:08You are the spirit of knowledge and of
29:10the fear of the Lord. Isaiah chapter
29:1311:2. Come, Holy Spirit. Come.
29:16Take over this atmosphere.
29:19Take over this prayer time. Pray through
29:22us. Intercede through us. Use our
29:24voices. Use our tongues. Use our spirits
29:27as instruments of your intercessory will
29:30tonight.
29:31Father, we yield ourselves to you.
29:34We yield every part of us, our minds,
29:36our voices, our spirits, our emotions.
29:38We yield it all to you tonight. Use us.
29:41Move through us. And let your will be
29:43done on earth as it is in heaven. Now,
29:46pray. Pray right there where you are.
29:49Open your mouth. Begin to call on the
29:50name of the Lord. Father.
29:53Father, I call on your name. I call on
29:56the name of Jesus. I call on the name
29:59that moves mountains. I call on the name
30:01that calms storms. I call on the name
30:03that opens prison doors. I call on the
30:06name that breaks yolks. Father, hear my
30:08prayer. Hear the prayer of your servant
30:11tonight.
30:12You said in Jeremiah chapter 33:3, "Call
30:16on to me and I will answer [music] thee
30:18and show thee great and mighty things
30:20which thou knowest not." I am calling,
30:23Lord. I am calling. Answer me. Show me
30:27great and mighty things. Reveal what has
30:29been hidden. Expose what has been
30:31concealed. [music] Break what has been
30:34bound. Open what has been closed. I am
30:36calling, Lord. Answer me. Now, I want to
30:40take you into
30:41>> [music]
30:41>> a specific prayer for the midnight
30:44operations that are working against your
30:46life. I want to pray with prophetic
30:48precision. There are things happening
30:51around you that you cannot fully
30:52articulate, but the spirit of God knows.
30:55The spirit searches all things, even the
30:58deep things of God. 1 Corinthians
31:00chapter 2 verse 10. And the spirit
31:03tonight is searching your situation.
31:05He's examining every dark corner. He's
31:08illuminating every hidden operation. And
31:11as he exposes, we are going to pray and
31:14destroy. Father, in the name of Jesus,
31:17every midnight operation that has been
31:19engineered against my life and destiny,
31:22I command it to be dismantled. Every
31:24night meeting that has been held in the
31:26spirit realm against my name in the
31:28courts of darkness, in the altars of the
31:30enemy,
31:31in the gatherings of witchcraft, every
31:33decision made against me in darkness, I
31:35overturn by the blood of Jesus. Every
31:38verdict pronounced against my life in
31:40ungodly courts, I appeal it to the
31:42Supreme Court of Heaven. And in the
31:44court of Heaven, the judge rules in my
31:47favor because I am covered by the blood
31:50of Jesus.
31:51Every evil decree be reversed. Every
31:54evil sentence be overturned. Every dark
31:57covenant be annulled by the blood, by
32:01the fire, by the power of the living
32:03God.
32:04>> [music]
32:04>> I speak to every principality. I speak
32:07to every power. I speak to every ruler
32:10of darkness of this world. I speak to
32:13every spiritual wickedness in high
32:15places. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12. I
32:18speak to you tonight. Your assignment is
32:20over. Your time has [music] expired. The
32:23blood of Jesus has been applied. The
32:25word of God has been decreed. And the
32:27authority of the name of Jesus has been
32:29enforced.
32:31You have no legal ground. You have no
32:33rightful access. You have no authority
32:36over this life in Jesus name.
32:39>> [music]
32:39>> Come down. Come down from your places of
32:41operation. Come down [music] from every
32:44high place you have erected over this
32:46life and this family. Come down. The
32:48Lord rebuke you. Jude verse 9, the Lord
32:51rebuke you. Now pray for yourself. Pray
32:54like [music] this.
32:55Father, I break every agreement between
32:58my life and darkness. Every conscious
33:01agreement, I [music] repent of it and I
33:03break it. Every unconscious agreement
33:07made through ignorance, through fear,
33:09through desperation, I break it, I
33:12cancel it, I annul it by the blood of
33:15Jesus.
33:16Every handshake with the enemy, every
33:19partnership with powers I should have
33:20never partnered with, every covenant I
33:23entered that gave access to the enemy, I
33:25tear it up tonight.
33:27I tear it up with the blood of Jesus and
33:30I declare my life belongs to God, my
33:33destiny belongs to God, my health
33:36belongs to God, my family belongs to
33:38God, my finances belong to God, my
33:42future belongs to God and what belongs
33:44to God cannot be permanently held by the
33:46enemy. Every foundational covenant from
33:49my lineage, every covenant made by my
33:52ancestors that is still exerting
33:54influence over my present reality, I
33:57address you tonight.
33:59I address you by the name of Jesus.
34:01I address you by the authority [music]
34:03of the cross. The Bible says in
34:05Colossians chapter 2 verses 14 and 15
34:08that Jesus having nailed the handwriting
34:10of ordinances that was against us
34:12[music] to the cross, having made an
34:13open show of principalities and powers,
34:16having triumphed over them in it. The
34:19cross is the legal instrument of my
34:22freedom. The cross dismantles every
34:25ancestral covenant. The cross cancels
34:28every generational subscription to
34:30darkness.
34:31The cross, the blood, the resurrection,
34:34these three are the weapons I use
34:36tonight and I declare the covenants of
34:39my fathers that brought poverty, I break
34:41them. Every covenant that made poverty a
34:44family tradition, a lineage inheritance,
34:47I break it by the blood of Jesus.
34:50By the authority of the 2 Corinthians
34:52chapter 8 verse 9 that says, "Though he
34:55was rich, yet for our sake he became
34:58poor that we through his poverty might
35:01become rich." I am rich in Jesus.
35:05The poverty covenant is broken. It is
35:07broken. I will not inherit it. My
35:09children will not inherit it. My
35:11household breaks free from it tonight in
35:14Jesus mighty name.
35:16Every covenant of sickness in my family
35:18line, patterns of the same sickness
35:20repeating through generations, I break
35:23the [music] pattern tonight. I break it
35:25at the root. I speak to the root. I
35:27command it to die.
35:30The Bible says in Mark chapter 11 verse
35:3120 that when they passed by in the
35:33morning, they saw the fig tree dried up
35:36from the roots.
35:37Lord, speak to the roots of every
35:39generational sickness in my body and in
35:41my family. Let it dry from the roots.
35:44Let [music] it wither from the
35:45foundation. Let no sickness have a
35:47generational claim on my bloodline in
35:50Jesus name.
35:52Every covenant of marital failure, every
35:54ancestral pattern of broken homes,
35:57broken covenants, failed marriages, I
36:00break it. I break the pattern.
36:02I refuse to participate in the family
36:05tradition of marital destruction. I
36:08command every spirit that has fed on
36:11marital failure in my lineage to [music]
36:13lose its hold over my marriage and over
36:15the marriages of my children.
36:17My home is under the blood. My home is
36:20under the blessing. Genesis chapter 1
36:22verse 28, God blessed them. My [music]
36:24home is blessed, not cursed, not
36:27divided, not broken, blessed by the
36:30living God. I hear the spirit of God
36:32saying to someone tonight, you have been
36:34afraid to get married, you have seen
36:36what happened to your parents, you have
36:38seen the pattern,
36:40you have concluded in your heart that
36:42marriage is not safe, that love always
36:45ends in pain, that commitment always
36:47ends in betrayal, and that conclusion,
36:50that inner vow has been keeping you in a
36:52cage,
36:53limiting your ability to trust, to love,
36:56to open. And the Lord says to you
36:59tonight, the pattern of your parents is
37:01not your portion. The pain of your
37:03lineage is not your destiny.
37:05I am breaking the fear. I am breaking
37:08the inner vow. I am restoring your
37:11capacity to love. I am restoring your
37:13capacity to trust. I am restoring your
37:16ability to be vulnerable in safety.
37:20And I am bringing the right covenant
37:22partner. I am bringing the right
37:23relationship at the right time. [music]
37:25Be not afraid. Open your heart. The one
37:28who loves with my love will never
37:30destroy you. Receive that word. Receive
37:34it.
37:34>> [music]
37:35>> Now, let's go deeper into warfare
37:37prayer.
37:38I want to specifically address what I
37:40call midnight thrones. There are thrones
37:42of darkness.
37:44The Bible says in Psalm 94:20,
37:46"Shall the throne of iniquity have
37:48fellowship with thee, which frameth
37:50mischief by a law?" Thrones of iniquity.
37:55These are seats of authority that
37:56darkness has established over
37:58territories, over regions, over
38:00families. And from these thrones,
38:03decisions are made about people,
38:06assignments are issued, arrows are
38:09dispatched, and the person on the
38:11receiving end of those arrows doesn't
38:13always know where they are coming from.
38:15But tonight, Father, in the name of
38:17Jesus, every throne of iniquity that has
38:21been established over my life, over my
38:23family, over my territory, I pull it
38:26down. I pull it down. Not in my own
38:29strength, but by the power of the Holy
38:31Spirit, by the blood of Jesus, by the
38:34authority of the name that is above
38:36every name. Every satanic throne be
38:39overturned. Every kingdom of darkness
38:42that has established itself over your
38:44destiny be dismantled. The kingdom of
38:47God is advancing.
38:48And Matthew chapter 11 verse 12 says,
38:50"The kingdom of heaven suffereth
38:52violence, [music] and the violent take
38:54it by force." I am taking by force
38:57tonight what the enemy has been
38:58illegally occupying in Jesus' name. Now,
39:02pray this after me. Pray it with fire.
39:04Father, I come against every demonic
39:07monitoring of my life. Every eye that
39:10has been watching me in the spirit for
39:12evil purposes, those eyes are blinded
39:14tonight by the fire of God.
39:16Every spiritual monitor assigned to
39:18track my movements, to report on my
39:21activities, to gather intelligence on my
39:23life for the purposes of the enemy, I
39:26destroy the monitor, I close the
39:28frequency, I shut the channel. The fire
39:31of God falls on every monitoring agent
39:34assigned against me. [music]
39:36Their vision is clouded, their report is
39:39disrupted, their assignment is aborted
39:42in Jesus' name. Every dream thief, every
39:45spirit that steals good dreams, that
39:47replaces divine communication in the
39:50night with terror and confusion and dark
39:53imaginations, I bind you in the name of
39:56Jesus.
39:57>> [music]
39:57>> I command you to lose your hold on my
39:59sleep. My nights belong to God. When I
40:02sleep, God speaks. When I sleep, angels
40:05minister. [music] Psalm 127:2,
40:09"He gives his beloved sleep." The sleep
40:12that restores, the sleep that renews,
40:15the sleep that positions for divine
40:16encounter. My sleep is sacred. My nights
40:20are under the blood. Every nightmare
40:22cancelled. Every spirit of sleep
40:24paralysis broken. Every spirit that
40:27presses and oppresses in the night hours
40:29destroyed in Jesus name. Every arrow
40:32that has been fired against me in the
40:34night seasons. Every arrow of
40:38stagnation. Every arrow of confusion.
40:41Every arrow of delay. Every arrow of
40:45financial witchcraft. Every arrow of
40:47sickness.
40:48>> [music]
40:48>> Every arrow of marital destruction.
40:51Every arrow fired against my calling and
40:53ministry.
40:54>> [music]
40:54>> I pluck every arrow out in the name of
40:56Jesus. I pluck them out. I cancel their
40:59assignment. I neutralize their poison.
41:03And I command every negative effect of
41:05every arrow ever fired against me be
41:07reversed. Be reversed now. Be reversed
41:10completely. What the arrow brought be
41:13removed. What the arrow opened [music]
41:15be closed. What the arrow caused be
41:18healed [singing] in the name of Jesus
41:20Christ. I feel something happening right
41:22now. There is a real movement of the
41:25spirit of God in this place. I feel the
41:27Holy Spirit moving. I feel angels at
41:30work. I feel chains loosening. I feel
41:33[music] burdens lifting. Keep praying.
41:36Don't stop. The price is almost fully
41:38paid. The breakthrough is at the door.
41:41Keep praying. Father, I speak to every
41:43evil altar that has been erected against
41:45my name. Every altar [music] where my
41:48name has been mentioned in the context
41:49of witchcraft, in the context of blood
41:52sacrifice, in the context of evil
41:54invocations. I come against that altar
41:56tonight.
41:57I come against it with the fire of God.
42:00I come against it with the blood of
42:01Jesus. I come against it with the weapon
42:04of the word of God that is sharper than
42:05any two-edged sword. Hebrews chapter 4
42:08verse 12. Every evil altar fall. I pull
42:12it down. I scatter the priests that
42:15serve at it. I consume the sacrifices
42:17that have been made. I silence the
42:19incantations that have been spoken.
42:22I release the fire of God upon every
42:24evil altar erected against my destiny.
42:28Let the fire fall. Let the fire fall.
42:31Let the fire consume every work of
42:34darkness in Jesus' name.
42:36And the fire of God falls now. Falls
42:39now. Falls now. Upon every altar, every
42:43evil altar associated with your name by
42:45fire, it is pulled down. By fire, it is
42:48consumed.
42:50By fire, it is destroyed. You will no
42:53longer be fed upon by darkness. You will
42:55no longer be the subject of midnight
42:57rituals. You will no longer be the
42:59target of demonic gatherings.
43:01The fire of God has consumed the altar.
43:03And where the altar is gone, [music] the
43:05priest has no place to operate. The
43:07witchcraft against you has lost its
43:09platform. It has lost its frequency. It
43:11has lost its power. In Jesus' name. Now,
43:14let's pray about financial gates because
43:17midnight operations frequently target
43:20finances. The enemy loves to block
43:22financial flow. He loves to create
43:25leakages.
43:26He loves to engineer situations where
43:29what comes in can never be retained.
43:32Where hard work never produces
43:34commensurate reward. Where opportunity
43:37is always just out of reach. These are
43:39financial gates that are under demonic
43:42control. [music] Father, in the name of
43:43Jesus, I come against every financial
43:46gate that has been locked against me.
43:47[music] Every gate of prosperity be
43:50opened. Every gate of favor be opened.
43:53Every gate of opportunity be opened.
43:56Every gate of divine connection be
43:58opened. I speak to the financial gates
44:01of my life tonight and I command them
44:03open. In the The of Jesus, open.
44:07The Lord of hosts, he's the [music] king
44:09of glory. Psalm 24 verses 7 through 10.
44:12Lift up your heads, oh ye gates, and be
44:15ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and
44:18the king of glory shall come in. The
44:21king of glory is coming into your
44:23financial life tonight. He's coming into
44:25your business. He's coming into [music]
44:27your career. He's coming into your
44:29investments. He's coming in, and when he
44:32comes in, the enemy has to flee.
44:35I break the spirit of poverty. I break
44:38the spirit of lack. I break the spirit
44:40of insufficiency. I break the spirit of
44:43financial oppression. I break every
44:45covenant that has made money to flee
44:47from your hands. I speak to your hands
44:50right now, the work of your hands is
44:51blessed.
44:52Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 12. The
44:55Lord shall open unto thee his good
44:57treasure on the heaven to give the rain
45:00unto thy land in his season, and to
45:02bless [music] all the work of thine
45:04hand. The work of your hand, not someone
45:08else's hand, your hand. What your hand
45:11touches begins to prosper. [music]
45:13What your hands build begins to stand.
45:15What your hands invest begins to
45:17multiply in Jesus' name.
45:20And I hear the spirit of God saying to
45:22someone, to a specific [music] person,
45:24you have been in a season of
45:26unexplainable financial drought, and you
45:29have prayed, and you have given, and you
45:31have [music] tithed, and you have sowed,
45:33and you have worked, and nothing seems
45:36to add up.
45:37There seems to be a hole in the bag.
45:39Haggai chapter 1 verse 6. And the Lord
45:42says to you tonight, the hole is being
45:45sealed. The leakage is being plugged.
45:48The spiritual drain on your finances is
45:51being closed.
45:53And a turn around is coming so suddenly,
45:55so surprisingly, so beyond your natural
45:58explanation that you will know, you will
46:01can know we, It is not your cleverness,
46:03it is not your strategy.
46:05It is the hand of God. The hand of God
46:08on your finances is turning things
46:10around. And what has been withheld is
46:12being released. What has been delayed is
46:15being accelerated. What has been locked
46:17is being opened.
46:19Receive it by faith right now. Receive
46:22it. Shout hallelujah somebody. Now,
46:24let's go into healing prayer because I
46:27see sick bodies in this gathering. I see
46:30medical diagnosis that have brought
46:31fear.
46:33I see pain, chronic pain, unexplained
46:36pain, pain that has persisted through
46:39prayer and medication. I see disease in
46:42some cases, serious disease, cancer,
46:45tumors,
46:47autoimmune conditions,
46:49neurological [music] disorders,
46:51cardiovascular disease, reproductive
46:53challenges. I see them and the Lord sees
46:56them. And tonight, [music] the healer
46:58has come.
46:59The Bible says in Isaiah chapter 53
47:01verse 5, "But he was wounded for our
47:04transgressions. He was bruised for our
47:07iniquities. The chastisement of our
47:10peace was upon him.
47:12And with his stripes, we are healed.
47:15With his stripes, [music] we are healed.
47:18Not we might be healed, not we hope to
47:21be healed. We are healed." This is a
47:23present tense declaration rooted in a
47:26past tense event.
47:28The stripes were received, the healing
47:30was purchased, the price was paid, the
47:33bill was settled. Your healing is not
47:35pending, it is paid for. Your health is
47:38not in question, it is legally purchased
47:41by the blood of Jesus. Father,
47:44in the name of Jesus,
47:46I speak to every sick body right now.
47:48>> [clears throat]
47:49>> Everybody affected by disease, by
47:52disorder, by malfunction, I speak
47:54healing. I speak the healing power of
47:57the risen Christ.
47:59>> [music]
47:59>> I speak life into the organs that have
48:01malfunctioned. I speak restoration into
48:04the tissues that have been damaged. I
48:06speak strength into the bones that have
48:09been weakened. I speak healing into the
48:11blood that has been compromised. I speak
48:14the resurrection life of Jesus Christ
48:17into every cell, every tissue, every
48:19system, every organ of your body.
48:22To the person battling cancer tonight, I
48:24speak to the cancer [music]
48:25in the name of Jesus. You are not a
48:27natural growth, you are a malfunction.
48:29You are not God's plan for this body.
48:32You have no authority to remain in this
48:34body that has [music] been bought with a
48:35price. I command you to dissolve. I
48:38command you to shrink. I command you to
48:41die. I command the immune system of this
48:43body to rise up in the strength of God
48:46and destroy every cancer [music] cell.
48:49The body of this believer is the temple
48:50of the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians
48:52chapter 6 verse 19 and 20. And cancer
48:55cannot reside in the temple of God. Be
48:58gone in Jesus name. To the person with a
49:01heart condition, the great physician is
49:04operating on your heart right now. Not
49:06with surgical instruments, but with
49:09supernatural power. He's clearing the
49:11arteries.
49:13He's strengthening the heart muscle.
49:15He's regulating the rhythm. He's
49:17restoring the function. Your heart is
49:19being healed. Your heart is being healed
49:22in Jesus name.
49:24To the person with a reproductive
49:26challenge, [music] the God who opened
49:28the womb of Sarah when she was past the
49:30age of childbearing, the God who
49:32remembered Rachel and opened her womb,
49:35the God who broke the barrenness of
49:36Hannah and gave us Samuel, that same God
49:39is opening your womb tonight. He's
49:41restoring fertility. He's healing what
49:43has been broken. He's clearing what has
49:45been blocked. He's reversing what has
49:48been reversed. And he's saying, "The
49:51fruit of the womb is your reward." Psalm
49:53127:3,
49:55your reward, it belongs to you. Receive
49:58it tonight.
49:59To the person with chronic pain, the
50:01Lord is touching the source of your pain
50:03right now. Not just managing, it's
50:05touching the source. The nerve that has
50:07been inflamed, he's calming it.
50:10The joints that has been destroyed, he's
50:12restoring it. The back [music] that has
50:14been in agony, he's straightening it.
50:17The migraine that has been a prison,
50:19he's dissolving it.
50:21Pain, leave in the name of Jesus. Leave.
50:24You have no right to this [music] body.
50:26You have no covenant with this body. The
50:28covenant of this body is with Jehovah
50:29Rapha, the Lord who heals. And by that
50:32covenant, pain must [music] go. Pain
50:34must go in Jesus' name.
50:37And I see someone right now, I see it
50:39very clearly in the spirit, someone who
50:40has been told [music] that what they
50:42have is incurable.
50:44The medical verdict has been incurable,
50:47and that word has become a wall in your
50:50mind, a limitation on your faith.
50:53Because if it is incurable, then what is
50:55the use of praying?
50:57The Lord says to you tonight,
50:59"What is incurable to medicine is not
51:01incurable to me. What is impossible
51:03[music]
51:04with men is possible with God." Luke
51:06chapter 18:27,
51:08"I am the God who cured leprosy.
51:11>> [music]
51:12>> I am the God who opened blind eyes. I am
51:15the God who restored a withered hand. I
51:17am the God who raised the dead. And
51:20incurable is a word in your doctor's
51:22vocabulary, but it is not a word in
51:23mine.
51:24Receive your healing. Receive it.
51:26Believe it. Act on it, and watch what I
51:29will do." Let's now pray for marriages.
51:32Because the enemy attacks marriages at
51:34midnight.
51:34>> [music]
51:35>> The spirit of divorce, the spirit of
51:37strife, the spirit of adultery and
51:39temptation, the spirit of communication
51:42breakdown,
51:43the spirit of bitterness that enters
51:45through unresolved conflict, the spirit
51:47of emotional distance. These are
51:49midnight operations against the
51:52institution of marriage.
51:54Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for
51:56every married person connected to this
51:58stream tonight. I pray for their
51:59marriage. I speak life into every dying
52:02marriage.
52:04I speak reconciliation into every
52:06separated marriage. I speak healing into
52:09every wounded marriage. I speak renewed
52:12love into every cold marriage.
52:14>> [music]
52:15>> Father, what you have joined together,
52:17let no man let no demon put asunder.
52:21Matthew chapter 19 verse 6.
52:23>> [music]
52:23>> I break every spirit of divorce. I
52:27command it to lose its hold on every
52:30marriage that is under this anointing
52:32tonight. The word divorce shall not be
52:35the conclusion of your story. The word
52:37separation shall not be the final
52:39chapter. God is a God of restoration.
52:42God is a God of redemption.
52:44What the enemy has been destroying,
52:46[music] God is now restoring. What years
52:48of misunderstanding have eroded, God is
52:51now rebuilding. What sin and betrayal
52:53have broken, God is now healing. The
52:55marriage is coming back. The marriage is
52:58coming back.
52:59To the person whose spouse has walked
53:01away, I speak to that spouse. Wherever
53:03they are, the spirit of God is pursuing
53:06them. God is working on them. God is
53:08dealing with their heart.
53:10The same God who turned the heart of a
53:12king like water in his hand, Proverbs
53:14chapter 21 verse 1, is turning the heart
53:17of your spouse. They will return. Not
53:19because you manipulated them.
53:22Not because you perform for them, but
53:24because God who honors covenant, who
53:26honors the institution he created, is
53:28moving on their heart. Hold on. Hold on
53:31to God. And let God hold on to your
53:33marriage.
53:34I speak to the marriages that have been
53:36damaged by infidelity. The deepest wound
53:39in a marriage, the wound of betrayal, of
53:41sexual sin, of covenant violation,
53:45and the Lord says, I specialize in deep
53:48wounds. What cuts deepest, I heal
53:51[music] deepest. Hosea loved Gomer even
53:54when she was unfaithful, and I said to
53:56Hosea, go love her again.
53:58Go demonstrate to my people that I am
54:00the God who restores, the God who
54:03redeems, the God [music] who takes what
54:05was broken and makes it more beautiful
54:07than it was before. Give me your broken
54:09marriage. I will make it a testimony. I
54:13will make it a message. I will make it a
54:16demonstration of my redemptive [music]
54:18power. To the couples in this gathering
54:21who are living together as strangers,
54:23sleeping in the same house but miles
54:24apart in the spirit, going through
54:26motions but not experiencing life, I
54:29speak [music] to the coldness.
54:32I rebuke the coldness. I rebuke the
54:35emotional ice that has [music] formed
54:37between you. The Bible says in Song of
54:39Solomon chapter 8 verse 7 that many
54:42waters cannot quench love. I am
54:44reigniting what has been dimmed. I am
54:48rekindling what has gone cold. I am
54:51bringing back the fire, not just the
54:53fire of eros, but the fire of agape, the
54:56unconditional love, the covenant love,
54:59the choice love. The love that says, I
55:02choose you not because of what you give
55:05me, but because God placed you in my
55:07life and I honor what God has done.
55:10[music] That love is being restored
55:12tonight. That love is being restored.
55:14Now, let us pray for the children, for
55:17the sons and daughters, because the
55:19enemy has a specific program for this
55:21generation. He [music] knows that if he
55:23can corrupt and destroy this generation,
55:25the children, the young people, he can
55:28steal the future. He targets them
55:30through media, through peer pressure,
55:33through substance abuse, through sexual
55:35immorality, through rebellion, through
55:38suicide ideation, through depression,
55:41through confusion about identity. These
55:44are midnight operations against your
55:47seed. Father, in the name of Jesus, I
55:49pray for the children, the children of
55:52everyone connected to this stream. I
55:54plead the blood of Jesus over them.
55:56>> [music]
55:57>> Every child, every son, every daughter,
56:01every grandchild, I cover them with the
56:03[music] blood. I declare no weapon
56:06formed against my children shall
56:08prosper. Isaiah chapter 54:17, [music]
56:11no weapon, not the weapon of addiction,
56:15not the weapon of suicidal thoughts,
56:17>> [music]
56:17>> not the weapon of sexual confusion, not
56:19the weapon of destructive relationships,
56:22not the weapon of premature [music]
56:23death, no weapon. It shall not prosper.
56:27I speak to every prodigal son, every
56:30prodigal daughter, wherever they are
56:32tonight,
56:32>> [music]
56:33>> in the far country of rebellion, in the
56:35pig pen of destructive choices, I speak
56:38to them with the prayer of a parent
56:41with the heart of a father, with the
56:43compassion of God. Come home. Come home.
56:47There is a father waiting with arms open
56:49wide. There is a robe and a ring and a
56:52feast waiting. Come home. The spirit of
56:54God is moving on the prodigals tonight.
56:57He's moving on them. He's drawing them.
57:00And the same spirit that brought you to
57:01repentance, the spirit of conviction,
57:04the spirit of love, the spirit of grace,
57:07is moving on your prodigal child right
57:09now. Their heart is being turned. Their
57:12mind is being opened. The scales are
57:15falling off their eyes.
57:17They are beginning to come to
57:18themselves. Luke chapter 15:17,
57:21"And when he came to himself," when they
57:24come to themselves, they will come home.
57:26They will come home. I speak blessing
57:29over your children, the generational
57:31blessing, the blessing that Abraham
57:33received, Genesis chapter 12 verse 2. I
57:36will bless thee and thou shall be a
57:39blessing. Your children will be blessed
57:42and they will be blessings, not
57:44disasters,
57:46not embarrassments, not casualties,
57:49blessings to their generation, to their
57:52communities, to the body of Christ, to
57:54the world. Your children are blessing.
57:57Your children are arrows in the hand of
57:59a mighty man, Psalm 127 verse 4. [music]
58:03And God is sharpening the arrows. God is
58:05straightening what has been bent. God is
58:08strengthening what has been weakened.
58:10Your children will hit their targets.
58:12>> [music]
58:12>> They will land in the exact places God
58:14designed for them in Jesus' name. Let
58:17somebody pray right now for their
58:19children. Lift your hands and call their
58:20names. Call the names of your children
58:22before God. [music] Not your polished
58:24religious names, the real names you call
58:26them at home. Call them before God. And
58:29as you call their names, I agree with
58:31you. I stand with you in prayer.
58:34And the Bible says in Matthew chapter 18
58:35verse 19 that if two of you shall agree
58:38on earth as touching anything that they
58:40shall ask, it shall be done for them of
58:43my father which is in heaven. I agree
58:45with you right now for your children.
58:46Every child you have called by name God
58:48hears and God is moving.
58:51And God will not rest until every one of
58:53your children is saved, blessed, healed,
58:56and positioned in Jesus' name. Now, I
58:59want to pray about destinies that have
59:01been delayed. There is a specific prayer
59:04I want to pray for divine acceleration
59:06because time is a resource.
59:08>> [music]
59:09>> Time, once spent, cannot be recovered.
59:13And the enemy knows this. One of his
59:15most insidious operations is the spirit
59:17of delay. The spirit that keeps you in
59:20the waiting room of life while others
59:22advance.
59:23>> [music]
59:24>> The spirit that makes you feel
59:25perpetually on the edge of breakthrough
59:28but never quite crossing over.
59:30And this spirit can work through
59:32circumstances, through people, through
59:34your own fears, through spiritual
59:36blockages. But I want you to know
59:38something.
59:39Look at Joel chapter 2 verses 25 and 26.
59:42And I will restore to you the years that
59:44the locust have eaten, the cankerworm
59:47and the caterpillar and the palmerworm,
59:50my great army which I sent [music] among
59:52you.
59:53And you shall eat in plenty and be
59:55satisfied and praise the name of the
59:57Lord your God that have dealt wondrously
1:00:00with you and my people shall never be
1:00:03ashamed. God said I will restore the
1:00:05years
1:00:06not just opportunities,
1:00:08>> [music]
1:00:08>> not just things. Yes, God can compress
1:00:11time. God can give you in 1 year what
1:00:14should have taken 10.
1:00:16God can accelerate you to a place where
1:00:18[music] the delay is not even visible
1:00:20anymore because the blessing you receive
1:00:22will so far exceed the time table you
1:00:25were expecting that there will be
1:00:27nothing to mourn about the delay.
1:00:29Father, in the name of Jesus, I speak to
1:00:32the spirit of delay that has operated
1:00:34over this life. I command it to be
1:00:36broken.
1:00:37The anointing breaks the yoke. Isaiah
1:00:39chapter 10 verse 27. And I break the
1:00:41yoke of delay. Every force that has been
1:00:44holding back divine acceleration in your
1:00:46life, I command it to release.
1:00:48Release what it has been holding. The
1:00:50dreams that have been postponed, [music]
1:00:52the time is now. The promises that have
1:00:55been deferred, the time is now. The
1:00:57prophecies that have been waiting for
1:00:59their season of fulfillment, the season
1:01:01is now. For some of you, this midnight
1:01:04prayer session is the point of ignition.
1:01:07This is the moment where the delay
1:01:08officially ends and the acceleration
1:01:11officially begins. I declare it in the
1:01:13name of Jesus. And there's someone here,
1:01:16I know it in my spirit, someone who
1:01:18turned 40 or 50 or 60 and you looked at
1:01:22your life and you thought it's too late.
1:01:24The window has closed.
1:01:25The opportunity has passed and there's a
1:01:28grief in your heart, a quiet grief for
1:01:31what didn't happen in the time you
1:01:33thought it should have happened.
1:01:35And the Lord says to you very tenderly,
1:01:37you have not missed your season.
1:01:39I do not work on the same calendar you
1:01:41use.
1:01:42Abraham was 75 when his journey truly
1:01:45began.
1:01:46Moses was 80 when he received his
1:01:48greatest assignment. Sarah was 90 when
1:01:52she received the promise in her body.
1:01:54Noah's most significant work began when
1:01:56he was 500 [music] years old. I am not
1:01:59constrained by your age. I am not
1:02:02limited by your timeline. What I have
1:02:04purposed [music] for you will come to
1:02:06pass.
1:02:07And it will be so conspicuous, so beyond
1:02:10what you could have manufactured
1:02:12yourself, that when it comes every eye
1:02:14will see it and know, this is the Lord's
1:02:17doing. It is marvelous in our eyes.
1:02:20Psalm 118:23,
1:02:22be encouraged. Be encouraged. Your time
1:02:26has not passed. Your time is now. Lift
1:02:28your hands. Lift your hands and let's
1:02:31pray this prayer together.
1:02:32Father, I receive divine acceleration. I
1:02:36receive the restoration of lost time.
1:02:39>> [music]
1:02:39>> Every year the locust has eaten, Father,
1:02:41restore it.
1:02:43Every season of delay that was
1:02:45engineered by the enemy, Father, cancel
1:02:48the debt of time and replace it with
1:02:50compounded blessing. I declare that from
1:02:53this day forward, [music] I am moving at
1:02:56the speed of purpose.
1:02:58I am moving at the velocity of divine
1:03:00appointment. God is accelerating me.
1:03:03What should take years is taking months.
1:03:06What should take months is taking days.
1:03:07[music] What should take days is
1:03:09happening now, now. Suddenly, suddenly,
1:03:13suddenly. And all who see it will say
1:03:16what God did for this person, [music]
1:03:18what God did for this family is
1:03:20extraordinary. To your glory alone,
1:03:22Father, in the name of Jesus.
1:03:25Now, let's go into what I call prophetic
1:03:27decrees over specific domains. These are
1:03:30not general prayers, these are targeted
1:03:33precision declarations that I want you
1:03:36to receive personally.
1:03:38I decree over your calling and purpose.
1:03:41You were not born by accident.
1:03:44The scripture says in Jeremiah chapter 1
1:03:46verse 5 that before [music] I formed
1:03:48thee in the belly, I knew thee. And
1:03:51before thou camest forth out of the
1:03:53womb, I sanctified thee. You are a
1:03:55sanctified being.
1:03:57Separated before birth, called before
1:04:00conception. And every attempt by the
1:04:02enemy to make you forget your purpose,
1:04:05to make you live below your calling, to
1:04:07make you settle for ordinary when God
1:04:09destined you for extraordinary, I break
1:04:12the spell of forgetfulness.
1:04:14I break the spirit of mediocrity. I
1:04:17[music] break the spirit of comparison
1:04:19that has made you look at others and
1:04:22question your own worth. You have a
1:04:24unique call, a unique grace, a unique
1:04:27assignment.
1:04:29And no one, not the enemy, not your
1:04:31past, not your failures, not your
1:04:33critics can revoke what God has
1:04:35sanctified. It stands. Your calling is
1:04:38irrevocable. Romans chapter 11 verse 29,
1:04:41your gifts and calling irrevocable.
1:04:44>> [music]
1:04:44>> I decree over your ministry.
1:04:46If you are called to ministry to any
1:04:48form of it, whether in the marketplace,
1:04:51in the fivefold office, in intercession,
1:04:54in worship, in teaching,
1:04:57I decree that your ministry is being
1:05:00positioned for a new level. The
1:05:02stagnation is breaking, the ceiling is
1:05:04cracking.
1:05:06The door that has been closed against
1:05:07your ministry is [music] being pushed
1:05:09open by the hand of God. New platforms
1:05:12are being given, new audiences are being
1:05:14opened, new grace is being released.
1:05:17New anointing is being poured. Your
1:05:19ministry in the next season will not
1:05:20look like your ministry in the last
1:05:22season. It is ascending, it is growing,
1:05:24it is deepening, it is broadening.
1:05:26[music]
1:05:27God is expanding your coast. 1
1:05:28Chronicles chapter 4 verse 10, just like
1:05:30Jabez prayed, "Enlarge my territory."
1:05:33That prayer is being answered.
1:05:35>> [music]
1:05:35>> Your territory is being enlarged. I
1:05:38decree over your business and career.
1:05:40Every idea that has been given to you
1:05:43[music] by the spirit of God, divine
1:05:45creativity, divine innovation,
1:05:48solutions that can transform industries,
1:05:51I decree that those ideas are being
1:05:53activated. The time of passive
1:05:56possession is over. God didn't give you
1:05:58the idea for you to sit on it.
1:06:00He gave you the idea for you to build
1:06:02it. And in this season, the building
1:06:04begins. The resources are coming. The
1:06:07right people are coming. The favor is
1:06:09coming. The open [music] doors are
1:06:11coming. What you have seen in the
1:06:13spirit, [clears throat]
1:06:14what you have seen in the night seasons,
1:06:17in the dreams, in the visions, begin to
1:06:19see it in the natural. Begin to see it.
1:06:21Begin to walk toward it. And as you step
1:06:24forward in faith, God will confirm every
1:06:27step. Hebrews chapter 11 verse 1 says
1:06:30that faith is the substance of things
1:06:32hoped for, the evidence of things not
1:06:35seen. Faith makes the invisible visible.
1:06:39Faith makes the future present. Faith
1:06:43makes the impossible possible. Tonight,
1:06:46operate in faith, not hope faith. Hope
1:06:49says, "I wish this would happen." Faith
1:06:52says, "It is done." Hope is a longing.
1:06:56Faith is a landing. Land on the promise.
1:06:59[music] Land on the word. Land on the
1:07:02decree of God. And what you land on will
1:07:04hold you. What you land on in faith will
1:07:07become your reality. I decree [music]
1:07:10over your spiritual life the dryness is
1:07:12over. The desert season is breaking.
1:07:16The spiritual drought, the season when
1:07:18heaven felt silent, when prayer felt
1:07:21like talking to a wall, when the word
1:07:23felt lifeless, when worship felt empty,
1:07:26that season is over. It is over.
1:07:29God is sending rain, the former rain and
1:07:31the latter rain. Joel chapter 2 verse
1:07:3323. The early rain of the word and the
1:07:36latter rain of the spirit. [music] Both
1:07:38rains are falling tonight.
1:07:40The rain of revelation, let it fall. The
1:07:43rain of power, let it fall. The rain of
1:07:46fresh encounter, let it fall. The rain
1:07:48of spiritual renewal, let it fall. Open
1:07:51wide. Open wide your spiritual pores.
1:07:54Receive the rain of God. Your spiritual
1:07:57life is being revived. Your passion for
1:07:59God is being re-ignited. Your hunger is
1:08:02being deepened. Your prayer life is
1:08:04being transformed.
1:08:05Your worship is being elevated. You are
1:08:08going higher. You are going deeper. You
1:08:10are going further in God than you have
1:08:12ever been before.
1:08:14Let me minister in a different vein for
1:08:15a moment. I want to address those who
1:08:17are under specific demonic attack. There
1:08:20are people in this gathering who have
1:08:22been under targeted demonic attack. Not
1:08:25just general spiritual warfare, but
1:08:27targeted, specific.
1:08:30You have been attacked in your mind,
1:08:32thoughts of suicide, thoughts of
1:08:34self-destruction, thoughts of
1:08:36worthlessness, thoughts that tell you
1:08:38the world would be better without you.
1:08:40I need you to hear me. Those thoughts
1:08:42are not your thoughts. Those are foreign
1:08:45thoughts. They [music] are injected
1:08:46thoughts. They are demonic downloads
1:08:49designed to make you believe a lie about
1:08:51your value and about your future.
1:08:53>> [music]
1:08:53>> The enemy is a liar. John chapter 8
1:08:55verse 44 says he is a liar and the
1:08:57father of lies. And when he speaks, he
1:09:00speaks of his own. Those thoughts of
1:09:03suicide, those thoughts of
1:09:05worthlessness, they are lies. They are
1:09:07from the father of lies. They do not
1:09:09represent your reality. They do not
1:09:11represent your future. They do not
1:09:14represent God's assessment
1:09:16>> [music]
1:09:16>> of your life.
1:09:18God's assessment of your life is in
1:09:20Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11. For I know
1:09:23the thoughts that I think toward you,
1:09:25said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not
1:09:28of evil
1:09:30to give you an expected end. The
1:09:32thoughts of peace, not of evil. An
1:09:35expected end, a future and a hope. That
1:09:38is God's plan for you. Not your
1:09:40destruction, not your death. Your future
1:09:44and your hope. And I rebuke every spirit
1:09:47of suicide right now. Every spirit of
1:09:49self-destruction,
1:09:51every spirit of depression that has been
1:09:54feeding the mind with hopelessness, lose
1:09:56your hold
1:09:58in the name of Jesus Christ. Lose your
1:10:00hold on God's child. You have no right
1:10:03to them. They are bought with a price.
1:10:05They are sealed by the spirit. They are
1:10:08covered by the blood and you must
1:10:10release them. Release them now. I
1:10:12command it. I command it in the name of
1:10:15Jesus who has all power in heaven and in
1:10:18earth. Lose them and let them go.
1:10:21And to the one who has been fighting
1:10:23those thoughts, I speak life to you.
1:10:25Life, not death. Life. The abundant life
1:10:30that Jesus promised in John chapter 10
1:10:32verse 10. Not just existence.
1:10:35Not just survival, abundance, overflow.
1:10:38You were not meant to die early. [music]
1:10:40You were not meant to be cut off. You
1:10:42were not meant to end this way.
1:10:44You are meant to live and to testify
1:10:47[music]
1:10:48and to declare the works of God. Psalm
1:10:50118 verse 17. I shall not die but live
1:10:55and declare the [music] works of the
1:10:56Lord. You shall not die.
1:10:59You shall live. Say it with me. I shall
1:11:02not die, but live and declare the works
1:11:05of the Lord. Say it until you feel the
1:11:08life of God coming back into you. Say
1:11:10it. Shout it. I shall not die.
1:11:13>> [music]
1:11:13>> I shall live. Lord, touch that person
1:11:17right now. Reach into their darkness.
1:11:20Reach into their despair. Reach into the
1:11:22midnight of their soul and let your
1:11:25hand, the nail-pierced hand, the hand
1:11:28that conquered death, let that hand take
1:11:30hold of them. Pull them back. Pull them
1:11:33back from the edge. Restore them. Heal
1:11:36them. Fill them with your life.
1:11:38In Jesus' [music] name. Now, let's go
1:11:41into a wave of prayer for divine
1:11:42preservation and protection because
1:11:44there are people in this gathering
1:11:46tonight who are in danger, real danger,
1:11:49and they may not even know it. Physical
1:11:51danger. Danger on the road, danger in
1:11:54the home, danger in relationships,
1:11:57danger in the workplace, and God in his
1:11:59foreknowledge wants to cover them. Wants
1:12:01to preserve them. Wants to prevent the
1:12:04evil from occurring. Psalm 91, the
1:12:07preservation Psalm, verse 1. He that
1:12:10dwelleth in the secret place of the most
1:12:12high shall abide under the shadow of the
1:12:15Almighty. Let me decree this over you.
1:12:18You dwell in the secret place. The
1:12:20secret place of the most high. This is
1:12:22not a physical location. It is a
1:12:24spiritual position.
1:12:25>> [music]
1:12:26>> It is the position of the one who walks
1:12:28with God, who hides in God, who makes
1:12:31God his dwelling place. And in [music]
1:12:33that position, in the shadow of the
1:12:36Almighty, you are covered. You are
1:12:38shielded. You are protected. [music]
1:12:40Father, in the name of Jesus, I activate
1:12:43Psalm 91 over every life connected to
1:12:46this stream tonight.
1:12:47He shall cover thee with his feathers
1:12:50[music]
1:12:50and under his wings shall thou trust.
1:12:53Let the covering of God come now. I
1:12:56declare, no evil shall befall you. No
1:12:59plague shall come near your dwelling.
1:13:02No accident shall claim your life. No
1:13:04sudden calamity shall overtake you
1:13:06[music] because he has given his angels
1:13:08charge over you. Psalm 91:11
1:13:12to keep you in all your ways.
1:13:14The angels are on assignment tonight.
1:13:17They are surrounding you. They are
1:13:18surrounding your home. They are
1:13:20surrounding your children. They are
1:13:21surrounding your vehicle. They are
1:13:23surrounding your place of work. The
1:13:25hosts of heaven are encamped around you.
1:13:29Psalm 34:7,
1:13:31>> [music]
1:13:31>> "The angel of the Lord encamped round
1:13:33about them that fear him and delivered
1:13:36them." The angel of the Lord, not just
1:13:39an angel, the angel of the Lord. The
1:13:42specific angel assigned to those who
1:13:45fear God encamped around you. Round
1:13:49about meaning completely from every
1:13:52direction with no gap, with no opening,
1:13:55with no vulnerability.
1:13:57The enemy cannot find an opening because
1:14:00the angel of the Lord has covered every
1:14:02angle. I declare divine preservation
1:14:04over every person in this gathering. You
1:14:07will not be in the wrong place at the
1:14:08wrong time. You will not be in the
1:14:10vehicle that crashes. You will not be in
1:14:12the building that collapses.
1:14:14You will not be in the relationship that
1:14:16destroys.
1:14:18God's hand of preservation is over your
1:14:20life. [music]
1:14:21And what he preserves, nothing in heaven
1:14:24or earth or under the earth can destroy
1:14:26without his permission. And he has not
1:14:29given his permission, he has withheld
1:14:31it. He has decreed, "This one lives.
1:14:34This family stands. This [music] destiny
1:14:37is completed in Jesus' name."
1:14:40Let me shift now into prophetic
1:14:41intercession for national and
1:14:43territorial [music] dimensions because
1:14:45we are not just individuals, we're
1:14:47citizens of nations, of territories, of
1:14:50cities.
1:14:51And there are principalities over
1:14:53nations.
1:14:54>> [music]
1:14:54>> The book of Daniel, Daniel chapter 10,
1:14:56gives us a very clear picture of how
1:14:58territorial spirits work. There is a
1:15:01prince of Persia who withstood the angel
1:15:03for 21 days. There are principalities
1:15:06over nations, and the prayers of God's
1:15:09people are what shift the spiritual um
1:15:13atmosphere over a nation. Father, I pray
1:15:16for this nation tonight. I pray for
1:15:18every nation represented in this
1:15:20gathering. Lord, you are the judge of
1:15:22all the earth. You set up kings and you
1:15:24bring down kings.
1:15:26Daniel chapter 2 verse 21, you remove
1:15:29the corrupt and you elevate the
1:15:31righteous. Lord, bring righteous
1:15:33leadership to the nations. Bring leaders
1:15:36who fear God. Bring leaders who will
1:15:39govern with justice, with integrity,
1:15:40with compassion, and let the ungodly be
1:15:43exposed, be dismantled, be removed from
1:15:46places of influence. Every corrupt
1:15:49system be dismantled. Every corrupt
1:15:52structure be exposed.
1:15:54Every dark agenda over nations be
1:15:56frustrated.
1:15:58The light of God's purpose over this
1:16:00nation shall prevail. God's plan for
1:16:03this nation shall prevail in [music]
1:16:05Jesus' name. I pray against the spirits
1:16:08of division, tribalism, ethnic hatred,
1:16:11religious violence that are tearing
1:16:13nations apart. Lord, the enemies of
1:16:16unity bind them. The enemies of peace
1:16:19bind them. The enemies of national
1:16:21progress bind them. [music] Let the
1:16:23spirit of unity prevail. Let the spirit
1:16:26of common humanity prevail. Let the love
1:16:28that transcends tribe and race and
1:16:30religion prevail. Let the church, the
1:16:33body of Christ, arise in this nation as
1:16:35a voice of unity and righteousness.
1:16:37[music] Let the salt and light, Matthew
1:16:39chapter 5 verses 13 and 14, be
1:16:41functional.
1:16:43Let the church be salty preserving the
1:16:45nation from corruption. Let the church
1:16:47be light exposing the darkness and
1:16:49illuminating the right path. Father, I
1:16:52pray for economic breakthrough for the
1:16:54nations. Nations in poverty, nations in
1:16:58economic oppression, nations whose
1:17:01resources have been hijacked by the
1:17:03corrupt, whose wealth has been plundered
1:17:05by the wicked, Lord, release economic
1:17:07justice. Release the blessing of God on
1:17:10the work of the people. Let the natural
1:17:12resources of the land be managed with
1:17:14wisdom and integrity for the benefit of
1:17:17all the people. Let industries arise.
1:17:20Let innovation flourish.
1:17:22Let entrepreneurs receive divine ideas
1:17:25that create wealth and solve problems.
1:17:28Let the economy of this nation be
1:17:29rebuilt on righteousness. And Proverbs
1:17:32chapter 14:34 says, "Righteousness
1:17:35exalted a nation." Let righteousness be
1:17:38exalted.
1:17:40And let the nation be lifted [music] in
1:17:42Jesus' name. Now, let me come back to
1:17:44the individual because everything I've
1:17:47prayed nationally has individual
1:17:48implications.
1:17:50Your personal economy, your personal
1:17:52territory, your personal governance,
1:17:54these have been affected by what we've
1:17:56prayed. And I want to pray for something
1:17:58very specific now, the restoration
1:18:00[music]
1:18:00of wasted years. Some of you have wasted
1:18:03years. I'm not going to soften this.
1:18:05There are years that were wasted through
1:18:07disobedience, through wrong choices,
1:18:10through addiction, through wrong
1:18:12relationships, through years spent in
1:18:14rebellion against God. And those years
1:18:17are gone in the natural. You cannot get
1:18:19them back.
1:18:20But in the supernatural, in the God who
1:18:23works [music] outside of time, who
1:18:25inhabits eternity, who is not bound by
1:18:28the calendar, those years can be
1:18:30restored. Not just compensated for,
1:18:32restored. The story of Naomi in the book
1:18:35of Ruth. Naomi went out full, she had a
1:18:38husband, two sons, a life, a future, and
1:18:42she came back empty, empty, bereaved,
1:18:46broken.
1:18:47And she said, "Call me not Naomi, which
1:18:50means pleasant, call me Mara, which
1:18:52means bitter, for the Almighty has dealt
1:18:55very bitterly with me." This woman was
1:18:58in the midnight of her soul. Everything
1:19:01was gone. Everything was lost. But watch
1:19:04what God does. He doesn't explain
1:19:06himself to Naomi. He doesn't argue with
1:19:09her bitterness. He just starts to move.
1:19:12He introduces Ruth. He leads Ruth to the
1:19:15field of Boaz.
1:19:17He positions Boaz to notice Ruth.
1:19:20He orchestrates the kinsman redeemer
1:19:22encounter. He restores everything Naomi
1:19:25lost and more. [music]
1:19:27And by the end of the book of Ruth,
1:19:29Naomi is holding a grandson, and the
1:19:31women of the city say to her, "Blessed
1:19:34be the Lord, which has not left thee
1:19:36this day without a kinsman,
1:19:38that his name may be famous in Israel,
1:19:41and he shall be unto thee a restorer of
1:19:43thy life and a nourisher of thine old
1:19:46age." A restorer of life. That is what
1:19:49[music] God is to you tonight. A
1:19:51restorer of life. Not just a provider of
1:19:54things, a restorer of life. He is
1:19:56restoring life into what has been dead.
1:20:00He's restoring purpose into [music] what
1:20:02has been empty.
1:20:04He's restoring joy into what has been
1:20:07bitter. He's restoring relationship into
1:20:10what has been broken. He's restoring
1:20:12health into what has been sick. He's
1:20:15restoring identity into what has been
1:20:18confused. He's restoring destiny into
1:20:22what has [music] been delayed.
1:20:24God is your kinsman redeemer. Jesus is
1:20:26the ultimate Boaz. He came for you when
1:20:28you were at your lowest. He found you in
1:20:30the field. He noticed you in the mess.
1:20:33He covered you with his garment, his
1:20:35righteousness. He paid [music] the price
1:20:38of redemption, his own blood, and he's
1:20:40committed to your full restoration.
1:20:43Every single thing you have lost, every
1:20:46single thing is available for
1:20:47restoration through the kinsman
1:20:49redeemer, through Jesus Christ.
1:20:52Father, tonight restore, restore,
1:20:54restore, restore what was lost, restore
1:20:58what was stolen, restore what was
1:21:00broken, restore what was wasted, restore
1:21:03what was killed, restore restore. We
1:21:06receive your restoration tonight. By
1:21:09faith, we receive it, and we give you
1:21:11all the glory for it. In Jesus name. I
1:21:14want to do something very specific now.
1:21:17I want to address those who are in what
1:21:20I call the cave of Adullam, the people
1:21:23who are in a low, hidden, discouraged
1:21:27place.
1:21:281 Samuel chapter 22 verse 2 describes
1:21:30the cave of Adullam, and everyone that
1:21:33was in distress, and everyone that was
1:21:35in debt, [music] and everyone that was
1:21:37discontented gathered themselves onto
1:21:40him. And he became a captain over them.
1:21:44David gathered these broken, indebted,
1:21:47discontent, distressed people, and from
1:21:50that cave, from that low place, [music]
1:21:51he built an army, he built a nation.
1:21:55Some of you are in your cave tonight.
1:21:57You are in distress. You are in debt.
1:21:59You [music] are discontent. You feel
1:22:01broken and hidden and overlooked. And
1:22:03the enemy wants you to stay in the cave
1:22:05permanently. But I want to tell you, the
1:22:08cave is not your home. The cave is your
1:22:10training ground. David didn't stay in
1:22:12the cave.
1:22:13The cave was where he was formed, where
1:22:15his character was refined, where his
1:22:18capacity for leadership was developed,
1:22:20where his mighty men were gathered, and
1:22:22he came out of the cave to take a
1:22:24kingdom. Your cave experience is almost
1:22:27over. The formation season is ending.
1:22:30The training is complete. You are coming
1:22:32out of the cave. You are coming out.
1:22:34And when you come out, you are not
1:22:37coming out alone. You are coming out
1:22:38with an army. You are coming out with
1:22:40the capacity to [music and singing] take
1:22:42kingdoms. You are coming out shaped for
1:22:44the throne.
1:22:45The cave was not your coffin. The cave
1:22:47was your classroom. And the lessons
1:22:49learned in the low place will sustain
1:22:51you in the high place. Father, for
1:22:54everyone in their cave tonight, I pray
1:22:56for the grace to come out. The grace to
1:22:58leave the low place. [music] The grace
1:23:00to step out in faith even when
1:23:02everything in the flesh says stay
1:23:04hidden, stay safe, stay low. I pray for
1:23:07supernatural courage, the courage of
1:23:09Joshua and Caleb. Numbers chapter 13
1:23:12verse 30, who said we are well able to
1:23:14overcome it when everyone else said we
1:23:17cannot.
1:23:18Let that spirit of faith, of courage, of
1:23:21bold confidence in the God who never
1:23:23fails, let it rise within them. Let them
1:23:25come out of the cave. Let them come out
1:23:28into their destiny in Jesus [music]
1:23:30name. Now, I need to address something
1:23:32that I've been holding back in the
1:23:33spirit because I felt God wanted us to
1:23:35get to this [music] specific point in
1:23:36the prayer before I released it.
1:23:39This is a word for those whose faith has
1:23:41been severely tested. Not just a small
1:23:44test, but a test. The kind of test that
1:23:47Job went through. The kind of test where
1:23:50everything you believed [music] seems to
1:23:53be challenged by what you are
1:23:54experiencing.
1:23:55Job was righteous. Job was faithful.
1:23:58[music] Job was obedient. And yet
1:24:00calamity came. He lost his children. He
1:24:03lost [music] his wealth. He lost his
1:24:05health. He lost the support of his wife.
1:24:08He lost the companionship of his friends
1:24:10because they became his accusers.
1:24:12Everything stripped away Job in the
1:24:15midnight of his experience. And in the
1:24:18midst of it, in the depths of his
1:24:19suffering, Job made one of the most
1:24:22powerful declarations in all of
1:24:24scripture.
1:24:25Job chapter 19 verses 25 and 26. For I
1:24:29know that my redeemer liveth, and that
1:24:31he shall stand at the latter day upon
1:24:34the earth. And though after my skin
1:24:36worms DESTROY THIS BODY,
1:24:39YET in my flesh shall I see God. I know
1:24:43that my redeemer liveth. In the middle
1:24:46of calamity, in the middle of loss, in
1:24:48the middle of suffering, in the middle
1:24:50of midnight, I know my redeemer liveth.
1:24:53Not I hope, not I wonder, not I used to
1:24:57believe. I know, present tense, active
1:25:00tense, confident declaration. My
1:25:02redeemer, he is alive. He is active. He
1:25:05is working even when I cannot see him.
1:25:08He is present even when I cannot feel
1:25:10him. He is good even when my
1:25:12circumstances say otherwise. I know.
1:25:15>> [music]
1:25:15>> For those who are in the midst of a Job
1:25:17season tonight, the Lord says to you,
1:25:19your redeemer lives. He has not
1:25:21abandoned you. [music] He has not
1:25:22forgotten you. He has not left the
1:25:24building. He is watching every moment of
1:25:28your suffering. He is recording every
1:25:30tear. Psalm 56:8, [music]
1:25:33"Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my
1:25:35tears into thy bottle. Are they not in
1:25:38thy book?"
1:25:39Every tear is in his bottle. Every
1:25:42moment of pain is in [music] his book.
1:25:44And he is not callous to your suffering.
1:25:47He is moved by it. He is moved. The
1:25:50Bible says in Hebrews chapter 4 verse 15
1:25:53that we have not an high priest which
1:25:55cannot be touched with the feeling of
1:25:57our infirmities. He is touched. He
1:25:59feels. He sees your pain and it moves
1:26:02[music] him. And just like Job, your
1:26:05latter end will be greater than your
1:26:07beginning. Job chapter 42:12, "So the
1:26:10Lord blessed the latter end of Job more
1:26:12than his beginning. More than his
1:26:14beginning." The worst of your life is
1:26:17not the end of your story. The most
1:26:19painful chapter is not the final
1:26:21chapter. The restoration is coming.
1:26:23[music] The redemption is coming. The
1:26:25vindication is coming. And when it
1:26:28comes, when the story of your life is
1:26:29told from beginning to end, the most
1:26:32prominent feature will not be the
1:26:33suffering. The most prominent feature
1:26:36will be the faithfulness of God. The
1:26:39most prominent feature will be the
1:26:40resurrection. The most prominent feature
1:26:43will be the restoration. This is what
1:26:45God did for me. That will be your
1:26:47testimony. Shout to God if you believe
1:26:49it. Shout. Let me now begin to pray in
1:26:52the spirit because there are things that
1:26:55words cannot fully articulate. There are
1:26:57dimensions of the battle that go beyond
1:27:00the language we use naturally.
1:27:02The Holy Spirit intercedes with
1:27:04groanings that cannot be uttered and we
1:27:06yield to that intercession now. Father,
1:27:09breathe.
1:27:10Breathe upon this gathering. Every dry
1:27:12bone, [music] breathe. Breathe the
1:27:14resurrection breath.
1:27:16The same breath that God breathed
1:27:18[music] into Adam in Genesis chapter 2
1:27:20verse 7, breathe that same breath into
1:27:23every [singing and music] dead situation
1:27:25tonight, into every dead dream, into
1:27:28every dead vision,
1:27:30into every dead relationship, into every
1:27:33dead ministry, into every dead business.
1:27:36Breathe. Breathe, Lord. Let the Ruach,
1:27:38the breath, the wind of God blow.
1:27:41Let it blow [music] through this
1:27:42gathering. Let it blow through every
1:27:44home represented here. Let it breathe
1:27:47life into what is dead. Let it activate
1:27:50what is dormant. Let it release what is
1:27:53bound. Let it bring what is far away
1:27:55close to God. Breathe, Holy Spirit.
1:27:58Breathe. Praying in the spirit, let your
1:28:00tongues flow. Let the tongues of fire
1:28:02flow from heaven to earth. Let the gift
1:28:05of tongues do what the natural mind
1:28:07cannot intercede for what is unknown,
1:28:10for what is deep, for what is hidden,
1:28:12for what has not yet been revealed. Pray
1:28:15in the spirit. Let the rivers of living
1:28:18water flow. John chapter 7 verse 38. He
1:28:21that believeth on me as the scripture
1:28:22has said, out of his belly shall flow
1:28:25rivers of living water. Rivers, not
1:28:28drops, not trickles, rivers, plural. Out
1:28:32of your belly, your innermost being,
1:28:34rivers of living water are flowing.
1:28:37Rivers of prayer, rivers of
1:28:40intercession,
1:28:41rivers of worship, rivers of
1:28:43declaration. Let them flow. [music]
1:28:46Don't dam them. Don't quench the spirit.
1:28:481 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 19.
1:28:51Don't restrict what God wants to
1:28:53release. Open wide. Open wide. Let the
1:28:57rivers flow.
1:28:58Now, I want [music] to pray very
1:28:59specifically for divine connections
1:29:03because one of the enemy's strategies is
1:29:05to isolate, to cut off, to separate you
1:29:08from the people who are meant to carry
1:29:10your destiny forward because destiny is
1:29:12not a solo journey.
1:29:14God has placed specific people in your
1:29:16path, divine connectors, divine helpers,
1:29:20divine collaborators, people who are
1:29:22carrying what you need and who need what
1:29:24you carry. And the enemy knows that if
1:29:26he can isolate you, he can limit [music]
1:29:29you.
1:29:30If he can cut you off from community,
1:29:33from covenant relationships, from
1:29:35spiritual covering, from the body of
1:29:37Christ, he can diminish your
1:29:39effectiveness.
1:29:41But tonight I break every spirit of
1:29:43isolation. Every spirit that has been
1:29:46cutting you off from genuine
1:29:48relationship. Every spirit that has been
1:29:50making you suspicious of everyone,
1:29:53making you unable to trust, making you
1:29:55withdraw from community. I break it. I
1:29:58command it to lose its hold. And I pray
1:30:01for [music] divine connections to be
1:30:03restored and initiated. Father, send the
1:30:06people. Send the right people. Send the
1:30:09mentors. Send the friends who sharpen.
1:30:12Proverbs chapter 27:17,
1:30:15"Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man
1:30:17sharpeneth the countenance of his
1:30:19friend." Send the friends who add value.
1:30:22Send the spiritual fathers and mothers
1:30:24who will pour into the next generation.
1:30:26Send the covenant partners who will
1:30:28build together for the kingdom. Send the
1:30:30collaborators. Send the connectors.
1:30:33Bring the right people across the paths
1:30:34of everyone in this gathering. And let
1:30:37the wrong people, the saboteurs, the
1:30:39Delilah spirits, the Judas spirits, the
1:30:42people who are only there to drain and
1:30:43destroy, let them be separated. Let the
1:30:45separation be clean.
1:30:47Let it be [music] swift. Let it be
1:30:49without drama. And let what is good,
1:30:52what is genuine, what is God-ordained
1:30:54remain in Jesus' name.
1:30:57I want to speak to someone about [music]
1:30:59a specific relationship. You have been
1:31:02holding on to a relationship, a
1:31:03friendship, a romantic relationship, a
1:31:06business partnership that God has been
1:31:08telling you to release.
1:31:10God has been speaking to you
1:31:12through the word, through warnings in
1:31:15the spirit, through the counsel of
1:31:17trusted people in your life,
1:31:19>> [music]
1:31:19>> and you've been holding on because of
1:31:20history, because of investment, because
1:31:23of familiarity, because of fear of
1:31:26loneliness.
1:31:27And the Lord says to you tonight, "What
1:31:29I have told you to release, release it.
1:31:32Not because the person is a bad person,
1:31:34but because the season is over. And if
1:31:36you don't release what is seasonal, you
1:31:38will miss what is eternal. You will miss
1:31:40what is permanent. You will miss the
1:31:43person, the relationship, the
1:31:45partnership that is designed for the
1:31:47next level of your life. Release.
1:31:49Release with love. Release with prayer,
1:31:52but release. And watch what God brings
1:31:55in through the door that the release
1:31:57opens." Now, let me speak about finances
1:31:59one more time, but from a different
1:32:00angle, because I want to address not
1:32:03just financial shortage, but financial
1:32:05assignment. Some people have financial
1:32:08shortage because of shortage, but some
1:32:10people have financial shortage because
1:32:13of spiritual assignment on their
1:32:15finances. Assignment to keep them
1:32:17distracted by financial pressure so that
1:32:20they never have the mental and emotional
1:32:22bandwidth to focus on their purpose,
1:32:25their ministry, their calling.
1:32:27The enemy knows that financial pressure
1:32:29consumes mental energy. It consumes
1:32:32emotional energy. It creates anxiety
1:32:36that crowds out the voice [music] of
1:32:37God. And if he can keep you perpetually
1:32:41financially distressed, even if you are
1:32:43not in poverty, just perpetually
1:32:45stressed, he has succeeded in limiting
1:32:48your effectiveness.
1:32:50So, I want to pray not just for
1:32:52financial provision,
1:32:53>> [music]
1:32:53>> but for financial peace, financial
1:32:55clarity, financial wisdom, the wisdom to
1:32:59manage well what God provides. [music]
1:33:02Proverbs chapter 24:3 and 4. Through
1:33:05wisdom is an house builded, [music] and
1:33:08by understanding it is established.
1:33:11And by knowledge shall the chambers be
1:33:14filled with all precious and pleasant
1:33:16riches. Wisdom, understanding,
1:33:19knowledge, these three are the
1:33:22foundation
1:33:23of financial prosperity that lasts.
1:33:27Father, release financial wisdom into
1:33:28your people tonight. Wisdom for
1:33:31investment, wisdom for stewardship,
1:33:33wisdom for giving, because giving is a
1:33:36financial strategy and a spiritual law.
1:33:39Luke chapter 6:38.
1:33:42Give, and it shall be given unto you.
1:33:45Good measure, pressed down, and shaken
1:33:48together, and running over shall men
1:33:51give into your bosom. For with the same
1:33:54measure that ye met with all, it shall
1:33:55be measured to you again. The law of
1:33:58giving is inescapable. What you release
1:34:00God returns multiplied. Open the hands
1:34:03of your people, Lord.
1:34:05Let the spirit of generosity be
1:34:06released. Let the spirit of sowing be
1:34:09activated. Let them understand that
1:34:11their giving is not a loss, it is a
1:34:13seed.
1:34:14And every seed sown in good soil returns
1:34:17a harvest.
1:34:19And I specifically pray for the miracle
1:34:22of supernatural supply. The God who fed
1:34:25Elijah by ravens, the God who filled
1:34:27jars of oil for the widow in 2 [music]
1:34:29Kings chapter 4.
1:34:31The God who multiplied five loaves and
1:34:33two fish to feed 5,000 Matthew chapter
1:34:3514. The God who made the coin appear in
1:34:38the fish's mouth to pay the tax, Matthew
1:34:40chapter 17.
1:34:42This same God, supernatural, creative,
1:34:45inexhaustible is your source. Not your
1:34:48job alone, not your salary alone, not
1:34:51the economy alone. God is your source.
1:34:54[music] And when God is your source, the
1:34:56source never runs dry.
1:34:58Isaiah chapter 58 verse 11. And the Lord
1:35:02shall guide thee continually, and
1:35:04satisfy thy soul in drought, and make
1:35:07fat thy bones, and thou shalt be like a
1:35:10watered garden,
1:35:11and like a spring of water, whose waters
1:35:14fail not. Whose waters fail not.
1:35:18Your spring will not fail. Your supply
1:35:20will not be cut off. What God has
1:35:22committed to flowing through your life
1:35:24will flow. In drought season, you will
1:35:27be watered.
1:35:28>> [music]
1:35:28>> In recession, you will have abundance.
1:35:32In shortage, you will have supply. Not
1:35:35because of your cleverness, but because
1:35:36of the covenant. The covenant of
1:35:39provision that God has made with his
1:35:41children. You are a child of God.
1:35:44You are an heir. Romans chapter 8 verse
1:35:4617. Heirs of God and joint heirs with
1:35:50Christ. And the father does not let his
1:35:53heir starve. The father does not abandon
1:35:55his children to destitution. The father
1:35:58provides, the father blesses.
1:36:01The father opens the windows of heaven
1:36:04and pours out a blessing there is not
1:36:06room enough to receive. [music] Malachi
1:36:08chapter 3 verse 10. Open your mouth wide
1:36:11and I will fill it. Psalm 81 verse 10.
1:36:14Open your mouth wide, not small, not
1:36:17moderate, wide. Open your expectation,
1:36:20open your faith, open your capacity to
1:36:23receive and God will [music] fill it.
1:36:26Now, I want to go into a specific prayer
1:36:28for those in ministry, those who are
1:36:30called to serve God, those who are
1:36:32pastors, apostles, [music] prophets,
1:36:34evangelists, teachers, intercessors,
1:36:38worship leaders, youth ministers,
1:36:41children's workers, marketplace
1:36:43ministers because ministry is not
1:36:45without warfare. In fact, [music] the
1:36:47more significant the ministry, the more
1:36:50intense the warfare.
1:36:52And there are people in ministry right
1:36:54now who [music] are weary, genuinely
1:36:56weary, not laziness, weariness. The
1:36:59weariness of years of service, of
1:37:01pouring out without being poured into,
1:37:03of carrying burdens for others while
1:37:05their own soul is heavy.
1:37:07Galatians chapter 6 verse 9. And let us
1:37:10not be weary in well doing for in due
1:37:13season we shall reap if we faint not. If
1:37:17we faint not. The danger is not
1:37:20stopping, the danger is fainting.
1:37:22Fainting from exhaustion, fainting from
1:37:24disappointment, fainting from the
1:37:27repeated blows of ministry and Paul says
1:37:29don't faint, don't give up. The due
1:37:31season is coming. The harvest is
1:37:33guaranteed if you don't faint.
1:37:36But I also want to remind you of Isaiah
1:37:38chapter 40 verses 29 through 31. He
1:37:42giveth power to the faint and to them
1:37:45that have no might, he increased
1:37:48strength. Even the youth shall faint and
1:37:51be weary.
1:37:52And the young men shall utterly fall,
1:37:54but they that wait upon the Lord shall
1:37:56renew their strength. They shall mount
1:37:58up with wings as eagles. They shall run
1:38:01and not be weary, and they shall walk
1:38:04>> [music]
1:38:04>> and not faint. They that wait upon the
1:38:07Lord. Waiting is not passivity, waiting
1:38:10is positioning. [music] It is deliberate
1:38:12stillness before God. It is the act of
1:38:15saying, "Lord, I cannot continue in my
1:38:17own strength. I need [music] yours."
1:38:20And when you make that declaration, when
1:38:22you stop trying to perform for God and
1:38:25start leaning on God, he gives power to
1:38:27the faint, he increases strength, he
1:38:30renews
1:38:31The Hebrew word for renew here is
1:38:34kalaph, to spring forth, to sprout, to
1:38:37put on new feathers as a young eagle.
1:38:40God is renewing your spiritual feathers
1:38:42tonight. He's putting fresh anointing
1:38:45[music] on tired wings. He's
1:38:47strengthening weary ministers. He's
1:38:49refreshing exhausted intercessors. He's
1:38:52reviving discouraged worshipers. He's
1:38:55reinvigorating burnt-out pastors.
1:38:58Father, touch your servants tonight.
1:39:01Touch the ones who have been pouring
1:39:03out. Touch the ones who are carrying
1:39:05heavy loads. Touch the ones who smile on
1:39:08Sunday but weep on Monday. Touch the
1:39:10ones who carry the sorrows of their
1:39:12congregations in their own hearts. Touch
1:39:14them. Renew them. Refresh them. Let them
1:39:18know that you see their sacrifice. You
1:39:20see their labor.
1:39:22You see what they have given up for the
1:39:23sake of the kingdom, and you have not
1:39:25forgotten one act of service, not one
1:39:27tear of intercession, not one night of
1:39:30prayer, not one sacrifice of comfort.
1:39:33Everything is recorded, and the reward,
1:39:36the eternal weight of glory, is being
1:39:38prepared. [music]
1:39:40And to the minister who is considering
1:39:42quitting, the Lord says to you, don't
1:39:44don't quit. The midnight hour feels like
1:39:47the hour of defeat, but it is the hour
1:39:49before the breakthrough. The darkest
1:39:51moment of the night is just before dawn.
1:39:53Stay. Stay at your post. [music] Stay in
1:39:56the call. Gird up your loins. I have
1:39:59more for you. The best chapters of your
1:40:01ministry have not been written yet. The
1:40:04greatest harvest of your labor is ahead.
1:40:06Don't quit at midnight. The morning is
1:40:08coming. Somebody give God praise right
1:40:10now. Now, let me take you into the
1:40:12prophetic. I'm going to speak [music]
1:40:14some things that are not prepared. They
1:40:15are flowing from the spirit of God right
1:40:17now. I want you to receive them
1:40:19carefully.
1:40:20This is not entertainment.
1:40:22>> [music]
1:40:22>> These are words from the Lord. There is
1:40:24someone in this gathering. I see someone
1:40:26who has been in a legal battle, a legal
1:40:29dispute. Could be over property, over
1:40:32business, over inheritance, over an
1:40:34unjust accusation.
1:40:37And the legal process has been long, and
1:40:40expensive, and draining. And you have
1:40:43begun to wonder if justice will ever
1:40:44come.
1:40:45The Lord says to you, Luke chapter 18
1:40:48verse 7 and 8, shall not God avenge his
1:40:52own elect, which cried day and night
1:40:54unto him, though he bear long with them?
1:40:58I tell you that he will avenge them
1:41:00speedily. The speedily is beginning
1:41:02tonight.
1:41:03The tide is turning in your legal
1:41:05battle. What has been working against
1:41:07you in the courts of men is being
1:41:09overturned by the judge of all the
1:41:10earth. The evidence that has been
1:41:12suppressed will come to light. The
1:41:15witnesses that have been silent will
1:41:17speak, and the verdict will be in your
1:41:19favor. Not because you are perfect, but
1:41:21because God is just. And justice demands
1:41:24your vindication. Receive it.
1:41:27There is another person, and this is
1:41:28very specific. Someone who has been
1:41:30waiting for a visa, a permit, a
1:41:33document, a clearance,
1:41:36a certificate, some form of official
1:41:38documentation that has been delayed,
1:41:41denied, or stuck in a system, and the
1:41:43delay has affected plans, dreams,
1:41:46[music] transitions.
1:41:48The Lord says that document is being
1:41:50released. The hand of God is moving in
1:41:52the office, in the system, in the
1:41:54department where your case sits.
1:41:56>> [music]
1:41:56>> An angel is moving papers. An angel is
1:41:58opening doors.
1:42:00What has been stuck is being unstuck.
1:42:03What has been denied is being approved.
1:42:05The way is being made clear, and what I
1:42:07open, [music]
1:42:08no man shuts. Receive that word. There
1:42:10is another word for someone who has been
1:42:12betrayed by a close friend.
1:42:15The kind of betrayal that David spoke of
1:42:17in Psalm 55:12-13.
1:42:20For it was not an enemy that reproached
1:42:22me, then I could have borne it.
1:42:25Neither was it he that hated me that did
1:42:28magnify himself against me, then I would
1:42:30have hid myself from him, but it was
1:42:32thou, a man mine equal, my guide,
1:42:36and mine acquaintance. It was someone
1:42:38close, someone trusted, someone you
1:42:41would never have suspected, and the
1:42:43wound from that betrayal is deep deeper
1:42:46than any wound from an enemy.
1:42:48Because it came from a friend, the Lord
1:42:50says to you, "I know the depth of that
1:42:53wound. I know it because I too was
1:42:55betrayed by one of my own, Judas.
1:42:58But I want you to know
1:43:00>> [music]
1:43:00>> that I redeemed even that betrayal. I
1:43:03turned it into the instrument of my
1:43:05greatest victory, and I will redeem your
1:43:08betrayal.
1:43:09What was meant to destroy you is going
1:43:11to become the set up for your greatest
1:43:14advancement. The people who betrayed you
1:43:17will eventually have to acknowledge that
1:43:19God favored you. They will see it,
1:43:22and you will have the grace to forgive,
1:43:24not because they deserve it, but because
1:43:26I have forgiven you, and in forgiving,
1:43:29you will be free, truly free.
1:43:32Lord, heal the wounds of betrayal
1:43:34tonight.
1:43:35Heal the wounds that come from trusting
1:43:37people who failed the trust. Heal the
1:43:39disappointment of failed expectations.
1:43:42Heal the grief of broken friendship.
1:43:44Lord, let those wounds [music] close,
1:43:47not just be covered, but genuinely
1:43:49healed so that the person can love
1:43:52again, trust again, build again without
1:43:55the fear of the old wound reopening.
1:43:57Heal. Heal deep. Heal completely in
1:44:01Jesus' name. Let me give you another
1:44:03prophetic word for someone who has been
1:44:05asking God for a sign. You have been
1:44:07praying and praying and you've been
1:44:09saying, "Lord, if this is really you,
1:44:11give me a sign. Confirm it for me. Let
1:44:15me know that what I heard is from you
1:44:17and not from my own desires." And the
1:44:19Lord says the sign you've been asking
1:44:21for you've already received it.
1:44:23You have already received it, but your
1:44:25fear has been interpreting it as
1:44:27coincidence. What you dismissed as
1:44:29coincidence is my handwriting on the
1:44:31wall. Look again at what happened last
1:44:33week.
1:44:34Look again at that encounter, that word,
1:44:37that open door, that prompting. It was
1:44:39not coincidence. It was me. I am
1:44:42confirming what I have spoken, I have
1:44:44also shown. Walk in it. Take the step.
1:44:48>> [music]
1:44:48>> I am with you. And another word there is
1:44:51someone who has been in an intense
1:44:53season of spiritual warfare to the point
1:44:55where you are physically, spiritually,
1:44:57mentally exhausted. And you have been
1:45:00pressing in prayer, but you feel like
1:45:02the battle is not yielding, like you're
1:45:04fighting a battle that is not moving.
1:45:06The Lord says to you, "The battle has
1:45:09moved. What you are experiencing now is
1:45:12not the battle advancing, it is the
1:45:14enemy's last stand." When a stronghold
1:45:16is about to fall, there is a last
1:45:19desperate surge of resistance.
1:45:21>> [music]
1:45:21>> The intensity you are experiencing is
1:45:23not evidence that you are losing, it is
1:45:26evidence that you are about to win.
1:45:28>> [music]
1:45:28>> The enemy is desperate. He's fighting
1:45:31hard because he knows his time is up.
1:45:33Stand. Having done all to stand,
1:45:36Ephesians chapter 6 verse 13. Stand.
1:45:39Don't retreat. Don't yield. Don't be
1:45:42moved by the intensity of your position.
1:45:44The victory is already secured. The
1:45:47battle is already won in the spirit.
1:45:49What you are waiting for is the
1:45:50manifestation in the natural. And the
1:45:54manifestation is close, very close. Stay
1:45:56in position. Keep pressing. The wall is
1:45:59about to fall. I declare the wall that
1:46:02has been standing between you and your
1:46:04breakthrough, [music] it is falling. It
1:46:06is falling. Like the walls of Jericho,
1:46:09Joshua chapter 6, which fell flat on the
1:46:11seventh day after seven rounds of
1:46:13obedient marching, the walls fell
1:46:15without physical weapons. They fell by
1:46:18obedience and worship.
1:46:20They fell by the sound of the trumpet
1:46:23and the shout of the people. And I want
1:46:25you to shout right now. Shout a shout of
1:46:28faith. Not a shout because you can see
1:46:30it, but a shout because you believe it.
1:46:33Shout because the word says it. Shout
1:46:35because the blood guarantees it. Shout
1:46:37because God cannot lie. Shout.
1:46:40The walls are falling. The walls are
1:46:42falling. Every wall, every wall of
1:46:45limitation, every wall of opposition,
1:46:47every wall that has been blocking your
1:46:49progress.
1:46:51Every wall that has kept you in and kept
1:46:54blessing out. Every wall is falling by
1:46:57the power of God, by the name of Jesus,
1:46:59by the blood of the covenant, the walls
1:47:02fall now. Hallelujah.
1:47:04Hallelujah. Praise God.
1:47:07Now, let me take you into a sustained
1:47:08warfare prayer. I want to walk you
1:47:10through this prayer point by point. Stay
1:47:13with me. Stay focused. This is where the
1:47:15real breakthrough happens. [music]
1:47:17This is the deep end of the prayer.
1:47:19Don't leave this. Don't stop praying.
1:47:21Don't let the flesh win at this point.
1:47:23You've come too far. You've pressed too
1:47:25hard. Stay in it. Stay in it.
1:47:28Father, I come in the name of Jesus and
1:47:30I bring my life before you. I bring
1:47:33every area. I hold nothing back. I open
1:47:36every room.
1:47:37I open the rooms I have been keeping
1:47:39private, the areas I have been hiding,
1:47:43the issues I have been managing without
1:47:45surrendering. Lord, I open everything.
1:47:48[music]
1:47:49Search me, oh God, and know my heart.
1:47:51Try me and know my [music] thoughts.
1:47:54Psalm 139:23-24
1:47:58and see if there be any wicked way in me
1:48:01and lead me in the way everlasting.
1:48:03Search me, Lord. Let your light come
1:48:06into every dark corner of my life not to
1:48:09condemn because there is therefore now
1:48:12no condemnation to them which are in
1:48:14Christ Jesus. Romans chapter 8:1.
1:48:17>> [music]
1:48:17>> But to cleanse, to heal, to restore, to
1:48:21redeem. Search me and what your light
1:48:25exposes, your blood cleanses instantly,
1:48:29completely, permanently.
1:48:32I repent.
1:48:33I repent of every sin that has given the
1:48:36enemy legal access to my life, every sin
1:48:39of commission, things I did that I
1:48:41should not have done,
1:48:42every sin of omission, things I failed
1:48:45to do that I should have done, every sin
1:48:48of thought, the imaginations, the
1:48:50fantasies, the bitter thoughts, the
1:48:52unforgiveness harbored in the mind.
1:48:55Every sin of what, the careless words,
1:48:57>> [music]
1:48:57>> the hurtful words, the agreements with
1:48:59lies, the self-curses spoken in moments
1:49:02of despair. I repent. I turn
1:49:05I turn away from the darkness and I turn
1:49:08toward the light. I turn toward [music]
1:49:10the cross and the blood of Jesus Christ
1:49:13cleanses me from all sin. 1 John chapter
1:49:171:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is
1:49:20faithful and just to forgive us our sins
1:49:23and to cleanse us from all
1:49:25unrighteousness. I confess, he forgives.
1:49:29I am clean. I am forgiven. I am
1:49:33restored. The enemy has no legal ground
1:49:36based on my sin because my sin has been
1:49:39dealt with at Calvary [music] in Jesus
1:49:41name. Now, I pray with the authority of
1:49:43a clean vessel.
1:49:45Father, loose the angels. Release
1:49:48[music] the angels. Hebrews chapter 1
1:49:50verse 14 says that angels are
1:49:52ministering spirits sent to minister for
1:49:55them who shall be heirs of salvation.
1:49:58Send the angels tonight.
1:50:00Send the specific angels assigned to the
1:50:04purposes being prayed for. The angel of
1:50:07breakthrough, release him. The angel of
1:50:09financial provision, release him. The
1:50:12angel of healing, release him.
1:50:14The angel of divine connection, release
1:50:16him. The angel of protection, release
1:50:19him. The angel of direction and
1:50:21guidance, release him. The angel
1:50:23assigned to my children, release him.
1:50:26The angel assigned to my home, release
1:50:28him. The angel that goes before me to
1:50:30prepare the way, release him. Let the
1:50:32angels be active. Let the angels be
1:50:34moving. Let the angelic activity in the
1:50:36realm of the spirit tonight be
1:50:38commensurate with the prayers being
1:50:40prayed and the faith being expressed.
1:50:42And I decree every demon assigned to
1:50:45oppose the answer to these prayers,
1:50:48every opposing spirit that stands
1:50:50between the prayer and the answer, be
1:50:51bound. Be bound in the name of Jesus. Be
1:50:55cast down.
1:50:56Be scattered. [music]
1:50:57The word says in Matthew chapter 16
1:50:59verse 19 that whatsoever I bind on earth
1:51:02shall be [music] bound in heaven and
1:51:04whatsoever I loose on earth shall be
1:51:06loose in heaven. I bind every spirit of
1:51:09opposition,
1:51:10every spirit of delay, every spirit of
1:51:13blockage, every spirit that has been
1:51:16positioned between me and my miracle, I
1:51:18bind you in Jesus' name. Be bound.
1:51:22And the answer, the miracle, the
1:51:24provision, the healing, the breakthrough
1:51:27is [music] loosed. It's loosed now. It
1:51:29is released from heaven into the earth.
1:51:32It is on its way. It is in [music]
1:51:34motion.
1:51:35It cannot be stopped. It cannot be
1:51:37intercepted. It cannot be delayed. It is
1:51:40coming. It is coming. In Jesus' name, I
1:51:43pray now for every form of captivity to
1:51:45be broken. The captivity of poverty
1:51:48shattered. The captivity of addiction
1:51:50shattered.
1:51:52Addiction to substances, to pornography,
1:51:55to destructive habits, to toxic people,
1:51:57to self-destructive behaviors shattered.
1:52:00The name of Jesus is greater than every
1:52:02addiction, greater than every
1:52:04compulsion, greater than every
1:52:06stronghold of the flesh.
1:52:08The Bible says in Galatians chapter 5:1,
1:52:11"Stand fast therefore in the liberty
1:52:13wherewith Christ has made us free, and
1:52:16be not entangled again with the yoke of
1:52:19bondage." Christ has made you free.
1:52:22Stand in it. Walk in it. The chain is
1:52:24already broken. Stop acting like you're
1:52:27still chained. The door is open. Stop
1:52:29sitting in the cell. Rise. Rise. Walk
1:52:32out.
1:52:33The liberty of Christ is yours. It was
1:52:35purchased for you. It belongs to you.
1:52:38Walk in it right now. The captivity of
1:52:40depression shattered. The spirit of
1:52:43heaviness that wraps around a man like a
1:52:45garment, I command it off in the name of
1:52:47Jesus.
1:52:48Isaiah chapter 61:3 says, "He gives
1:52:52beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for
1:52:55mourning, the garment of praise for the
1:52:58spirit of heaviness." The spirit of
1:53:00heaviness, come off in the name of
1:53:02Jesus.
1:53:03Come off. Be replaced by the garment of
1:53:06praise. Not because everything is
1:53:08perfect, but because God is perfect. Not
1:53:11because the circumstances have changed,
1:53:14but because the God who changes
1:53:15circumstances is on the throne. Put on
1:53:18the garment of praise. Put it on
1:53:20deliberately. Praise is not a feeling,
1:53:22it is a choice.
1:53:24Choose to praise.
1:53:25And in the choosing, watch the heaviness
1:53:29lift, the captivity of confusion
1:53:31shattered, the spirit that scrambles
1:53:34your thinking, that creates mental fog,
1:53:37that makes you unable to make clear
1:53:39decisions, that keeps you going in
1:53:41circles, I break that spirit.
1:53:44Second Timothy chapter 1 verse 7, "For
1:53:46God has not given us the spirit of fear,
1:53:50but of power and of love and of a sound
1:53:53mind." A sound mind, God's gift to you
1:53:56is a sound mind. Clear thinking, good
1:53:59judgment,
1:54:00>> [music]
1:54:01>> discernment, wisdom, sound mind. I
1:54:04declare it over you, your mind is clear,
1:54:07your thinking is sound, your ability to
1:54:09discern is sharp, the fog is lifting,
1:54:12the confusion is gone. Your mind is the
1:54:15mind of Christ. First Corinthians
1:54:17chapter 2 verse 16 says, "We have the
1:54:20mind of Christ." You have the mind of
1:54:22Christ, use it,
1:54:23>> [music]
1:54:23>> walk in it. Make decisions with clarity
1:54:27and confidence.
1:54:29The captivity of fear shattered. Perfect
1:54:32love casts out fear. First John chapter
1:54:344 verse 18.
1:54:36Every spirit of fear, every specific
1:54:39fear, fear of death, fear of failure,
1:54:43fear of rejection, fear of the future,
1:54:46fear of man, fear of being alone, fear
1:54:49of being known, fear of intimacy, fear
1:54:53of success.
1:54:54>> [music]
1:54:54>> Every named and unnamed fear, I bring
1:54:58the perfect love of God against every
1:55:01fear. The love of God is perfect, it is
1:55:04complete, it lacks nothing. And that
1:55:07love, when it [music] enters, when it
1:55:09floods the soul, when it fills every
1:55:12crack and crevice of a man's inner life,
1:55:14[music] it casts out fear. Not by
1:55:17argument, not by logic, but by love.
1:55:20Because fear says, I am not safe, but
1:55:23love says, you are held, you are known,
1:55:26you are loved. And in being loved by the
1:55:28one who holds all things, you are safe.
1:55:31Perfect love flooding your soul tonight,
1:55:34every fear be cast out. Father, I pray
1:55:38for a baptism of love tonight. Let your
1:55:40love wash over every person in this
1:55:42gathering.
1:55:43>> [music]
1:55:43>> Let them feel it, not just know it
1:55:46theologically, feel it, feel the love of
1:55:48God. Feel the warmth of his presence,
1:55:51feel the safety of his arms, feel the
1:55:53[music] tenderness of the father's heart
1:55:55toward them. Let it be tangible, let it
1:55:58be real, let it change how they see
1:56:00themselves.
1:56:01Let it change how they relate to you,
1:56:04let it transform the very foundation of
1:56:07their relationship with God from a
1:56:09relationship built on performance and
1:56:11fear to a relationship built on love and
1:56:14trust [music]
1:56:15in Jesus' name. I want to now speak
1:56:18specifically about the [singing] prayer
1:56:20for nation-shaping intercessors. There
1:56:23are people in this gathering who are
1:56:25called to intercession at a national
1:56:27level, at a generational level,
1:56:30and they have felt [music] the weight of
1:56:32it, they have felt the burden of it.
1:56:35They have prayed for years and years
1:56:37without seeing the visible fruit of
1:56:39their prayer at the macro level. They
1:56:41have prayed for revival,
1:56:44they have prayed for national
1:56:45transformation, they have prayed for the
1:56:47church to awaken, and they have
1:56:49continued faithfully even when the
1:56:51harvest seemed [music and clears throat]
1:56:52distant. The Lord says to these
1:56:54intercessors tonight, you are not
1:56:56praying in vain, Not one prayer has been
1:56:58wasted. Not one midnight vigil has been
1:57:00forgotten.
1:57:02The bowls of incense, Revelation chapter
1:57:045 verse 8, the golden bowls full of
1:57:06odors, which are the prayers of saints,
1:57:09they're accumulating. They're filling.
1:57:12And when the bowls are full, they are
1:57:13poured out on the earth. Your prayers
1:57:15are filling the bowls, and the time is
1:57:18coming sooner than you think when the
1:57:20bowls will be full and will be poured
1:57:21out. And what happens when they are
1:57:23poured out will be so dramatic, so
1:57:26comprehensive, so undeniable that it
1:57:29will be unmistakable the answer to the
1:57:32prayers of [music] the saints. Keep
1:57:33interceding. Keep praying. Keep holding
1:57:36the nation before God. Keep standing in
1:57:38the gap. Ezekiel chapter 22 verse 30,
1:57:41God is looking for people who will stand
1:57:43in the gap. And you are one of them. You
1:57:46are on assignment. [music]
1:57:47Your prayer life is not just personal
1:57:49maintenance, it is national service. You
1:57:51are serving your generation through your
1:57:53intercession. And the reward, the
1:57:55eternal reward for those who carry this
1:57:57kind of burden is beyond what language
1:57:59can describe. Lord, strengthen the
1:58:02intercessors tonight.
1:58:03Strengthen them in the inner man,
1:58:05Ephesians chapter 3 verse 16. Let them
1:58:08be strengthened with might by your
1:58:09spirit in the inner man. Let them not
1:58:12grow weary.
1:58:13Let them not grow discouraged. Let them
1:58:16not lay down the mantle of intercession,
1:58:19but strengthen them. Refresh them. Give
1:58:22them new vision. Give them new faith.
1:58:25Let them see what they are praying into
1:58:26being even if it hasn't manifested yet
1:58:29with the eyes of faith. And let that
1:58:31vision sustain them through the seasons
1:58:33of waiting.
1:58:34>> [music]
1:58:34>> In Jesus' name. Now, let me begin to
1:58:36move toward the climax of this prayer.
1:58:39But before I do, I want to give a
1:58:40specific prophecy that has been burning
1:58:42in my spirit throughout this entire
1:58:44ministration.
1:58:45>> [music]
1:58:46>> I've been holding it because the timing
1:58:47had to be right, and the timing is now.
1:58:50The spirit of God is saying there are
1:58:52people watching this message right now
1:58:54who [music] came to watch casually. They
1:58:56did not come with expectation.
1:58:58They came out of habit or curiosity or
1:59:02because someone sent it to them. They
1:59:04were not looking for a breakthrough.
1:59:06They were not expecting a miracle. They
1:59:08had settled. They had made peace with
1:59:10the limitation. They had adjusted their
1:59:13expectations downward. And the Lord
1:59:15says, "I am interrupting your settled
1:59:18state.
1:59:19>> [music]
1:59:19>> I am disturbing your acceptance of the
1:59:22unacceptable.
1:59:24I am disrupting your peace with what is
1:59:27not my will for your life. You were not
1:59:30designed for this level of limitation.
1:59:32You were not created for this dimension
1:59:35of smallness.
1:59:36What you have settled for is not what I
1:59:38have destined for you. And tonight in
1:59:40this unexpected moment, in this ordinary
1:59:43night, I am planting a seed of divine
1:59:46dissatisfaction in your spirit.
1:59:48A holy restlessness.
1:59:50A God-given [music] hunger for more. And
1:59:53that hunger is going to drive you to
1:59:55your knees.
1:59:56And from your knees, from the position
1:59:58of prayer, of dependence, of surrender,
2:00:02I am going to rise you up into the
2:00:04fullness of what I have purposed for
2:00:06[music] your life. This night is a
2:00:08turning point.
2:00:10Not because you planned it. [music] Not
2:00:12because you earned it. But because I
2:00:14chose it. I chose this night. I chose
2:00:17this moment. I chose you. And what I
2:00:19choose, I empower.
2:00:22And what I empower,
2:00:24>> [music]
2:00:24>> I finish. For he who began a good work
2:00:26in you will carry it on to completion.
2:00:28Philippians chapter 1 verse 6. I will
2:00:30finish what I started in you, and it
2:00:33will be glorious.
2:00:34Receive that word. Receive it. Let it
2:00:37land in your spirit. Let it take root.
2:00:40Let it produce faith. Let it produce
2:00:42prayer. Let it produce action. [music]
2:00:44Let it produce the life that was always
2:00:46intended for you. Now, let's go into the
2:00:49final wave of prayer. This is the wave I
2:00:51call the wave of sealing. The sealing of
2:00:53everything we have prayed, the sealing
2:00:56of every breakthrough we have declared.
2:00:59The sealing of every word that has been
2:01:01spoken because what is prayed must be
2:01:04sealed. What is decreed must be
2:01:06established. Job chapter 22 verse 28.
2:01:10Thou shall also decree a thing and it
2:01:13shall be established unto thee and the
2:01:16light shall shine upon thy ways. Decree,
2:01:19establish, seal. Father, in the name of
2:01:23Jesus, I seal everything [music] that
2:01:25has been prayed tonight with the blood
2:01:26of Jesus. Every prayer sealed with the
2:01:29blood. Every declaration sealed with the
2:01:32blood.
2:01:33Every prophecy sealed with the blood.
2:01:35The blood that was applied to the
2:01:37doorpost in Exodus 12, that blood caused
2:01:40the destroyer to pass over. I apply the
2:01:43blood tonight over my life.
2:01:46Over my family, over my marriage, over
2:01:48my children, over my business, over my
2:01:51ministry, over my health, over my
2:01:53destiny. The blood is applied. The
2:01:56destroyer must pass over. In Jesus'
2:01:58name, I seal every breakthrough with the
2:02:01seal of the Holy [music] Spirit.
2:02:02Ephesians chapter 1 verse 13 says, "In
2:02:04whom ye also trusted after that he heard
2:02:08the word of truth, the gospel of your
2:02:10salvation, in whom also after that ye
2:02:13believed ye were sealed with that Holy
2:02:16Spirit of promise." Sealed. What is
2:02:20sealed by the Spirit of God cannot be
2:02:22unsealed by the enemy. What is locked in
2:02:24by the Spirit of God cannot be stolen by
2:02:27the adversary.
2:02:28>> [music]
2:02:28>> The seal is holy. The seal is permanent.
2:02:31The seal is God's signature on your life
2:02:34[music] saying, "This one is mine. This
2:02:36destiny is mine. This family is mine.
2:02:39This calling is is
2:02:40Nothing and no one can undo what I have
2:02:42done. I seal the healing that was
2:02:44released tonight. Body, you are healed.
2:02:46You are sealed in your healing. Every
2:02:49cell, every tissue, every organ that was
2:02:51touched by the healing power of God
2:02:53tonight, it is sealed. The healing is
2:02:55not going to reverse. The restoration is
2:02:57not going to be undone. The miracle is
2:02:59sealed. In Jesus name.
2:03:02I seal the financial breakthrough that
2:03:04was released tonight. Every financial
2:03:06gate that was opened, it stays open.
2:03:09Every financial curse that was broken,
2:03:11it stays broken.
2:03:13Every financial blessing that was
2:03:14released, it is sealed. It is coming.
2:03:17Nothing and no one can prevent it. In
2:03:19Jesus name.
2:03:21I seal the deliverance that happened
2:03:23tonight. Every chain that was broken
2:03:25tonight stays broken. Every spirit that
2:03:28was cast out tonight is forbidden from
2:03:30returning.
2:03:32Luke chapter 11 verse 24 through 26. The
2:03:35word about the unclean spirit returning,
2:03:37I addressed that. I fill every vacated
2:03:40space with the Holy Spirit.
2:03:43Every room in the house of your spirit
2:03:45that was once occupied by a dark [music]
2:03:47spirit, I fill it with the Holy Spirit.
2:03:50With the spirit of wisdom, with the
2:03:52spirit of love, with the spirit of
2:03:54peace,
2:03:55with the spirit [music] of power. Every
2:03:57emptied space is filled, completely
2:04:00filled, so that there is no room for the
2:04:03enemy to return. In Jesus name.
2:04:06I seal the prophetic words that were
2:04:08spoken tonight. Every word that was for
2:04:11you, it is sealed. It will come to pass.
2:04:14It will not return void. Isaiah chapter
2:04:1655 verse 11. So shall my word be that
2:04:20goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall
2:04:23not return unto me void, [music] but it
2:04:25shall accomplish that which I please.
2:04:27And it shall prosper in the thing where
2:04:30to I sent it. It will accomplish, it
2:04:32will prosper, it will arrive at its
2:04:34destination. In Jesus name. Now, let us
2:04:38give God praise.
2:04:39Give him praise not because the praise
2:04:41is emotional. Give him praise because he
2:04:43is worthy. He is worthy. Revelation
2:04:46chapter 5 verse 12. Worthy is the lamb
2:04:49that was slain to receive power and
2:04:52riches and wisdom and strength and honor
2:04:56and glory and blessing. Worthy. The lamb
2:05:01is worthy. Not just worthy of your
2:05:03praise on Sunday when things are good.
2:05:05Worthy always. Worthy in the midnight.
2:05:08Worthy in the valley. Worthy in the
2:05:10trial. Worthy in the desert. Worthy in
2:05:14the waiting. Worthy in the wrestling. He
2:05:16is worthy.
2:05:17Give him praise right now. Give him the
2:05:20hallelujah. Give him the glory. Give him
2:05:22the honor. Give him everything.
2:05:24Everything. Hold nothing back. Open your
2:05:27mouth. Lift your voice. Lift your hands.
2:05:31And let the praise ascend. Father, we
2:05:33praise you. We praise you. We praise
2:05:35you. You are the alpha and the omega.
2:05:37The first and the last. The beginning
2:05:39and the end. Revelation chapter 22
2:05:41[music] verse 13.
2:05:43You are the same yesterday, today, and
2:05:45forever. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8.
2:05:48What you did for Paul and Silas at
2:05:50midnight, you are doing for us tonight.
2:05:53What you did for Jacob at Peniel, you
2:05:55are doing for us tonight. What you did
2:05:57for Israel in Egypt, you are doing for
2:05:59us tonight. You are the God of midnight
2:06:02miracles. You are the God who works at
2:06:04the darkest hour.
2:06:05And we praise you. We praise you. We
2:06:08praise you.
2:06:09>> [music]
2:06:09>> We praise you for the answer before we
2:06:11see it. We praise you for the miracle
2:06:13before it manifests. We praise you for
2:06:15the healing before the symptoms leave.
2:06:17We praise you for the breakthrough
2:06:19before the door opens.
2:06:21We praise you with the praise of faith.
2:06:24The praise that was on Abraham's lips
2:06:26when he was still waiting for Isaac. The
2:06:28praise that was on David's lips when he
2:06:30was still in the cave. The praise that
2:06:32was on Paul and Silas' lips when they
2:06:35were still in chains.
2:06:37That kind of praise, the midnight
2:06:39praise, the sacrifice of praise, the
2:06:41praise that costs something, that is the
2:06:44praise that moves God. We bring it
2:06:46tonight. We bring the sacrifice of
2:06:48praise.
2:06:49Hebrews chapter 13 verse 15, by him
2:06:52therefore let us offer the sacrifice of
2:06:55praise to God continually. That is the
2:06:57fruit of our lips giving thanks to his
2:07:00name. We offer it.
2:07:03We offer everything. We offer our
2:07:05limitations. We offer our pain. We offer
2:07:09our unresolved situations. We offer our
2:07:12fears. We offer our hopes. We offer our
2:07:14disappointments. We bring it all and lay
2:07:17it at the feet of Jesus and in exchange
2:07:20we receive his presence.
2:07:22We receive his peace. We receive his
2:07:24power. We receive his promise.
2:07:27Jesus, we receive you, all of you. We
2:07:31receive your lordship. We receive your
2:07:33love. We receive your wisdom.
2:07:36>> [music]
2:07:36>> We receive your righteousness. We
2:07:38receive your redemption.
2:07:40We receive your resurrection life. We
2:07:42receive you, Jesus. Come in. Come
2:07:44[music] into every area. Come into the
2:07:47rooms we have kept closed. Come in and
2:07:49fill every space. Come into the
2:07:51marriage. Come into the business. Come
2:07:54into the ministry. Come into the body.
2:07:57Come into the mind. Come in, [music]
2:07:58Lord. You are welcome here. You are
2:08:00welcome. Now, I want to close with a
2:08:03final prophetic declaration over your
2:08:05life. I want you to receive this from
2:08:07the spirit of God.
2:08:08>> [music]
2:08:08>> I declare over you, this is your season.
2:08:12Your season of manifestation. Your
2:08:14season of harvest. Your season of
2:08:16overflow.
2:08:18The seeds you have sown in tears. Psalm
2:08:20126 verse 5 says, "They that sow in
2:08:24tears shall reap in joy." You shall
2:08:27reap. You shall reap in joy what you
2:08:30sowed in tears.
2:08:32The prayers you prayed in the midnight
2:08:33seasons,
2:08:34>> [music]
2:08:34>> in the lonely seasons, in the hidden
2:08:36seasons, in the seasons when no one else
2:08:39was watching, they are becoming a
2:08:40harvest, a visible harvest, a harvest
2:08:43that will feed not just you but a
2:08:45generation. I declare you will no longer
2:08:48speak the language of lack, the language
2:08:51of I can't afford it, the language of
2:08:53it's not possible for me, the language
2:08:55of others can have it but not me. Those
2:08:58words are forbidden from your lips going
2:09:01forward. You have a new language, the
2:09:04language of Philippians chapter 4 verse
2:09:0513. I can do all things through Christ
2:09:08which strengtheneth me. All things, not
2:09:11some things,
2:09:12not comfortable things, all things
2:09:16through Christ, not through your [music]
2:09:17education alone, not through your
2:09:19connections alone, through Christ. He is
2:09:22the source of your ability. He is the
2:09:24limit lifter, he is the wall demolisher,
2:09:28he is the chain breaker. Through [music]
2:09:29Christ, all things. I declare your
2:09:32children will be mighty in the land.
2:09:34>> [music]
2:09:35>> The Bible says in Psalm 112 verse 2,
2:09:38"His seed shall be mighty upon earth.
2:09:41The generation of the upright shall be
2:09:43blessed." Your seed, [music]
2:09:44your children, mighty, not mediocre, not
2:09:49ordinary, [music]
2:09:49mighty upon earth, positioned, favored,
2:09:53blessed, making [music] impact, making
2:09:56history, bringing glory to God. Your
2:09:58seed is mighty. Declare it. Say it. My
2:10:02seed is mighty. I declare your best days
2:10:06are ahead of you, not behind you, not in
2:10:09the past that you're grieving, not in
2:10:11the what ifs and should have beens,
2:10:13ahead. Your best ministry, ahead. Your
2:10:17greatest harvest, ahead. Your deepest
2:10:20intimacy with God, ahead, your most
2:10:23significant impact ahead, the greatest
2:10:25chapters of your story have not been
2:10:27written.
2:10:28And the author Hebrews chapter 12:2,
2:10:31Jesus the author and finisher of our
2:10:33faith is still writing. He has not put
2:10:35down the pen. He's not finished. The
2:10:38story is [music] not over. The best is
2:10:40coming. The best highest coming. I
2:10:42declare you will fulfill your purpose.
2:10:45Every assignment written about you in
2:10:47the scroll of heaven Psalm 139:16
2:10:51says, "In thy book all my members were
2:10:53written." Every assignment will be
2:10:56completed.
2:10:57You will not die half finished. You will
2:10:59not leave the earth with the greatest
2:11:01portions of your calling unfulfilled.
2:11:03God will give you the time, the health,
2:11:06the resources, the grace, the wisdom to
2:11:09complete what he started [music] in you.
2:11:11You will finish well. You will finish
2:11:13strong.
2:11:14Like Paul in 2 Timothy chapter 4:7, "I
2:11:17have fought a good fight. I have
2:11:18finished my course. I have [music] kept
2:11:20the faith." You will finish your course.
2:11:23You will keep the faith. You will
2:11:24receive the crown. I declare this
2:11:27midnight is ending. The darkness of your
2:11:29midnight season it is ending. The
2:11:31morning is breaking. Can you see it?
2:11:33[music] Can you see the first light on
2:11:35the horizon? The darkness is thinning.
2:11:37The dawn is coming.
2:11:39Weeping may endure for a night, but joy
2:11:42cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5, "Your
2:11:45morning is here. Your joy is here. Rise.
2:11:49Rise and receive it. Rise from the dust
2:11:52of discouragement.
2:11:54Rise from the ashes of disappointment.
2:11:56Rise from the grave of dead dreams. Rise
2:11:59for your light has come." Isaiah chapter
2:12:0260:1, "Arise, shine, for thy light is
2:12:06come, and the glory of the Lord is risen
2:12:09upon thee." Your light has come. The
2:12:11[music] glory of the Lord has risen upon
2:12:13you. Arise. Shine. Let your light shine.
2:12:17Matthew chapter 5 verse 16. Let it shine
2:12:20before men. Let your testimony shine.
2:12:23Let your healing shine. Let your
2:12:26deliverance shine. Let your restored
2:12:28marriage shine.
2:12:29>> [music]
2:12:29>> Let your thriving children shine. Let
2:12:32your flourishing business shine. Let
2:12:34your growing ministry shine. Let it all
2:12:37shine. Not for your own glory, but that
2:12:39they may see your good works and glorify
2:12:42your father in heaven. Let God be
2:12:44glorified in your life. Let the story of
2:12:47what God did for you bring glory to his
2:12:49name. Let your life be a testimony that
2:12:52points people to Jesus. That makes
2:12:54people say if God can do that for them,
2:12:57he can do it for me, too.
2:12:59And that's the goal. That's the ultimate
2:13:01goal of everything that was prayed
2:13:04tonight. [music] Not just your personal
2:13:05breakthrough, but the glory of God. That
2:13:09through your testimony, through your
2:13:11transformation, through your miracle,
2:13:13through your healing, through your
2:13:15deliverance, someone else comes to know
2:13:18the God who works at midnight.
2:13:20The God who never sleeps. The God who
2:13:23fights for his children. The God who
2:13:25restores, redeems, and resurrects. The
2:13:28God [music] who is worth trusting, worth
2:13:29surrendering to, worth living for, and
2:13:31dying for. Father, let your name be
2:13:34glorified
2:13:35>> [music]
2:13:35>> in every life touched by this message.
2:13:38In every prayer that was prayed tonight.
2:13:40[music] In every miracle that is
2:13:42manifesting. In every chain that is
2:13:44broken. In every door that is opening.
2:13:48In every tear that is turning to joy. In
2:13:51every midnight that is turning to
2:13:52morning. Let your name be glorified to
2:13:55the ages of ages forever and ever. Let
2:13:59the name of Jesus be exalted above every
2:14:02name. Above every sickness. Above every
2:14:06sorrow. Above every poverty. Above every
2:14:09enemy. Above every darkness. Jesus is
2:14:13Lord. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord.
2:14:17Hallelujah.
2:14:19Hallelujah.
2:14:20Hallelujah. Now, before I release you,
2:14:22do something for me. Take 30 seconds
2:14:24right now. Just 30 seconds. Close your
2:14:27eyes. Put your hand on your chest.
2:14:29And say to the Lord quietly, personally,
2:14:32just between you and him, "Lord, I
2:14:34receive I receive everything you have
2:14:37done tonight. I receive the healing. I
2:14:41receive the deliverance. I receive the
2:14:43breakthrough. I receive the restoration.
2:14:46I receive the word. I receive you.
2:14:49I receive you. Thank you. Thank you for
2:14:52this midnight. Thank you that you were
2:14:54here. Thank you that you moved. Thank
2:14:57you that you chose me. Thank you for
2:14:59your love.
2:15:00Thank you for your blood. Thank you for
2:15:02your resurrection. I am yours,
2:15:04completely yours, forever yours in
2:15:07Jesus' name. Receive it. Now, open your
2:15:10eyes. And let me tell you something. You
2:15:12are not the same person who started this
2:15:14prayer. Something has changed in the
2:15:16spirit. Something has shifted. Something
2:15:19has moved. Whether you can feel it or
2:15:21not, the spirit realm has been
2:15:22rearranged. Decisions have been made in
2:15:25heaven on your behalf. Decrees have been
2:15:27issued. Assignments have been given to
2:15:29angels.
2:15:30And the natural manifestation of what
2:15:33happened in the spirit tonight will
2:15:34begin to appear. Some of it immediately.
2:15:36Some of it progressively. Some of it in
2:15:39ways you will not immediately connect to
2:15:41this moment of prayer. But it is moving.
2:15:44It is in motion.
2:15:45Watch your life in the coming days.
2:15:48Watch for the sudden phone call. Watch
2:15:50for the unexpected door. Watch for the
2:15:52medical test that surprises the doctor.
2:15:54[music]
2:15:55Watch for the heart that softens. Watch
2:15:57for the relationship that turns. Watch
2:15:59for the document that finally comes
2:16:01through.
2:16:02Watch for the business opportunity that
2:16:04arrives from nowhere. Watch for the
2:16:06financial blessing that defies natural
2:16:09explanation. Watch for it because it is
2:16:11coming. The God who works at midnight
2:16:14has moved on your behalf tonight.
2:16:16Share this message. Share it. Somebody's
2:16:19midnight is waiting for this word.
2:16:21Somebody's breakthrough is one share
2:16:22away. Be the instrument. Be the carrier.
2:16:25>> [music]
2:16:25>> Be the one who God uses to connect
2:16:28someone in darkness to the one who said,
2:16:30"I am the light of the world." John
2:16:32chapter 8 verse 12. Share it. Post it.
2:16:35Send it.
2:16:37And let the anointing travel on the
2:16:39digital highway and reach the [music]
2:16:41people God has purposed it for. We give
2:16:44God all the glory, all the honor, all
2:16:47the praise from the beginning of this
2:16:49service to the end.
2:16:50And even beyond when the fruits of this
2:16:52night begin to appear in the natural,
2:16:54all the glory belongs to God. Not to a
2:16:56preacher, not to a prayer warrior, not
2:16:59to a method, to God, to Jesus, to the
2:17:02Holy Spirit. The glory is his, all of
2:17:04it, every piece of it, forever.
2:17:07In the name of the Father
2:17:09and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
2:17:11Amen. [music] And to the midnight in
2:17:14your life, tell it, "I am not afraid of
2:17:17you. My God works at midnight, too."
