Don't Waste Your Angel | Waymaker | Pastor Steven Furtick

wanna read scripture from Exodus chapter 23 verses 20 through 31 and it's a scripture about how God makes a way in our life we're in this series called waymaker and this scripture has a subheading in my Bible that says God's angel to prepare the way God's angel to prepare the way God says this first 20c I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way if you don't think it's sacrilegious to write in your Bible Circle that phrase along the way it's important I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared pay attention to him and listen to what he says do not rebel against him see God can send things into your life that you don't access because your attention is elsewhere God can send you instruction wisdom and provision but you miss it because you were paying attention on something stupid I'm not talking about fantasy football I'm talking about other stupid stuff you pay attention to I wouldn't rebuke you for that it's fine but he says do not rebel against him he will not forgive your rebellion since my name is in him if you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say I will be an enemy to your enemies this is God speaking how he feels about his people I will be an enemy to your enemies now touch your neighbor say you better be nice to me I got back up be careful how you talk about me God likes me a little bit I mean how do you act when somebody talks about your child imagine how God feels about it imagine how God feels about it well that's what he said he said I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you my angel there's this angel again we'll go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorite hittites perizzites Canaanites Hittites and Jeddah sites and I will wipe them out I'm gonna get them out of your way now do not bow down before their gods or worship them because after I get them out of your way don't get in your own way by doing what they did sometimes God removes something from your life and you trip over it like it was still there because you can't change your mind and be renew according to your new reality okay this is not I'm just kind of flowing right now not in my notes and i'ma let you sit down in a minute but but there's a lot in this passage and I've been excited about it and I was eating cranberry sauce and thinking about just if we could get here together I could share this with you because I was really excited about it but really here's where it starts skip all the way down to verse 28 I will send the Hornet because God's a charlatan I will send the horn and I've been trying to tell you all that I will send the Hornet ahead of you to drive out the Hittites Canaanites and Hittites out of your way okay I'm gonna take away all those i'ts hit hit hit I came two nights cellulites all of them they gotta go somebody said they gotta go as I bring you into the place that I promised you I'm gonna get them out of your way but I will not drive them out in a single year because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you little by little I will drive them out before you until you have increased enough until you you're waiting on God to show up and he's waiting for you to grow up by little and you don't even notice the things that are growing right before your eyes that's why it takes a grandparent to tell you that your kids have grown because you're with them every day but but God is doing things incrementally in our lives and so he says little by little I will drive them out before you until you have increased enough to take possession of the land can I give you one more verse it's not rhetorical huh I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and from the desert to the Euphrates River I will give into your hands the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you say Amen for the word of God hey those of you in a control don't throw my title because I'm changing it and the one you have is the wrong one I want to preach a message to you from my heart today and I want you to look at your neighbor and give them my title that I just thought of right now but I want to share it with you and I believe it's a message for you did they look at your neighbor and say neighbor don't waste your angel please be seated [Applause] the sense that I get from the text is that God is giving his people the resources that they need for the responsibility that they are facing and I love that about God is that he always has the resource ready before he gives the assignment in fact I've learned this and I would love for you to write it down if you are the note tape taking tight realize that the greater the assignment the greater the assistance now if you are married to someone who is a little difficult perhaps that will be good news to you my brother from the United States Air Force is visiting with us today would you help me thank God for my brother visiting all the way from New Jersey he's married now and we're thankful I had the great privilege to perform their wedding if I do a wedding which I don't get to do them very much cuz usually people like to get married on Saturdays and I preach on Saturdays so when I get to do it I'd like to make it creative cuz I don't know how to do it the right way because I don't do it that much and I almost did something when I performed your wedding I never told you this because you got all the typical sections of a wedding where you have the exchange of the Rings the exchange of the vows almost did a whole section called realistic expectations and I didn't do it maybe one day I'll get that opportunity but it would be the part of the wedding ceremony that's not poetic it'd be the part that's practical and I would have told you things like you know be prepared for this woman whom you love to bring items into your bathroom that you have never seen before or known of their existence be prepared make space on your counter for a pharmacy and don't be surprised little things like that I would have put into it if they would have done this for me in Ha least they would have said a lot fifty extra minutes when you are telling your wife what time to be ready for an event lie to her put her on daylight savings time and back it up an hour and you might possibly be on time but I'll be honest with you my wife now something has shifted in the balance of our marriage relationship and she's usually the one telling me you're looking to see how she's responding to this part of the sermon aren't you that is she walked out what would that say about the pastor spiritual life no she's actually the one who's usually telling me now she's usually telling me if you can believe this she said something to me the other day I never thought I'd hear this out of my wife's mouth she said I'm ready when you are it's just things you never think you're going to hear you never do like like like that's like hearing your teenager say I'll do it like it's just stuff you never expect a year from that person but it's true that nine times out of ten now she's ready before I am something has shifted in the relationship I pointed out because in in Exodus 23 it's not a marriage relationship but it's a covenant relationship between God and His people and they have waited now for over 400 years for God to deliver them out of their slavery and their cruel bondage but now something has shifted they are so used to waiting on God and now it in an in a bizarre turn of events God says to his people through Moses I'm ready when you are now he's already brought them out of Egypt he's already brought them out of slavery but there is a difference between coming out physically and coming out mentally [Music] some people are perpetually stuck in a stage of their life even though God has set them free they still drag the shackles of a situation that God long says delivered them from so he gives them several gifts several gifts several gifts I mention a few the Ten Commandments he gives them the Ten Commandments thou shalt thou shalt not not to prohibit them not not to prohibit them how many of you have a dog did you put in a fence in your yard for the dog why so he can run around so he could run around without getting killed the fence brings freedom right when God establishes parameters for your life what he's really doing within those parameters is giving you permission to enjoy his promises in the parameters of his principles so that you are not destroyed by the very thing that God intended to bless you with and then he gives them some some laws regulations and statutes for living with one another in relationship as a community he speaks about social and justice he speaks to them about treatment of one another and for nurse he speaks to them Oh specifically about festivals that he wants them to keep and three times a year he says I want you to send all the men to the sanctuary and nobody should come empty-handed I want you to bring me an offering I want you to bring me an offering because I want you you to be protected there's a key word protected from trusting in your provision so every time I bless you I want you to engage in the discipline of entrusting to me what I've invested in you got it in that context God makes his people a promise because he has given them a great assignment a great assignment to occupy this land that's full of enemies enemies that are bigger and stronger more skilled and experienced in warfare than this nation who has barely become a nation at this point in this he gives them three promises from verse 20 I'll lift them now write them down put them on a sticky note because these three promises apply to you too these are three things God has promised you I hid them one by one see I am sending an angel ahead of you in the Jewish tradition it is mostly believed that the angel is Moses however most of us would think that the qualifications that are listed here as in my name is in him and the ability to forgive sins goes beyond Moses so this must be a foreshadowing of the second person of the Trinity Jesus Christ I will send my angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared there all three right there the first one is God promises to protect his people God promises to protect his people and specifically he says I will guard you along the way I was interested in that phrase because a lot of times God is guarding you from things in your life that you don't even know you need to be guarded from and so the way it works you can follow me real quick with the cameras God will guard you along the way but you will only see it looking back that's how life works is that God is doing it for you along the way now notice in order for God to protect you you have to be in motion God cannot guard you until you are along the way and so when you are praying for God to protect you but you're sitting on your couch doing it instead of obeying the instruction that he's given you God cannot dispatch his assistants for an assignment that you are not present for this one intern was asking me recently on the subject how do I deal with feeling insecure and I shot myself the answer I gave her because I usually say quote the Bible and confessions of faith and you are the righteousness of God in Christ but I found found something coming out of my mouth was kind of weird I said do the work do the work because it is in completing your assignment that you receive your assistance it's the best thing you can do if you feel insecure like I can't do it to do it and as you do it you will receive the strength for the assignment but let me tell you this you will not get the assistance praying for God to make the assignment easier he does not promise that and I don't care how hateful y'all look at me God is not going to make it easier what he said I'll do I will release my assistants in correspondence with your assignment and if you insist on trying to fulfill somebody else's assignment don't expect my assistance but if you will do you right here right now and quit wishing she was your wife and loved the wife you've got as Christ loved the church I will release my assistance in correspondence with your sign man hey man good preacher only jayjay standing up I don't know he must need the Lord this week to me I think is significant all the different times that God gave people an assignment that was greater than them and in fact often contrary to their natural ability because Abraham could have had a baby for god when he was 40 not when he's 80 God likes him at 80 better than 40 I know why but I'm not gonna tell you why I know why I studied and I know why God picked him at 80 and not 40 okay I'll tell you if you do it at 40 you'll think you did it but if God gives you something that you know you shouldn't be able to do it somebody say don't waste your angel and you waste the assistance of your angel this is so good I'm gonna help you right there right there you right there right there I'm so glad you know not you her I'm help her right there you got a giant assignment that's good the greater the assignment the greater the assistance so now I can look back on several phases of my life where God was protecting me with what I thought was a problem you know God has a defense system I have a security system in my house a couple nights ago me and Holly shot straight up into bed screaming both of us just screaming the alarm went off so loud I never heard it that loud and I jumped up screaming she jumped up screaming we're screaming at each other five seconds later I had that baseball bat that I keep under my bed I was crouched going through the house - I was shaking the bat I was saying stuff under my breath that wasn't prayer oriented you know just getting ready for what the situation required but how could it be that loud it was the loudest thing I ever heard you know those little air pods that you put in your ear I forgot that I had fallen asleep with my air pods in and it wasn't the security system in the house that went off it was an Amber Alert on my phone and Here I am we're ready to kill something that's not even there and you know sometimes you let the devil in your head to the point where you're waking up in the middle of the night chasing an enemy then ought to be running from you powerful people that they know you have the Holy Spirit a deposit guaranteeing your inheritance make some noise about it they call the quiet people uncomfortable sounded you know God's got a defense system and a surveillance on your life can only go so far get out of my head it's not protective high-five three people sound protected and God God will even protect you from your own prayers you will pray for him to ask you out and he will walk right by you to your best friend and she doesn't even have a prayer life and that's why he walked past you because you were praying God I want what you want for me protect me from anything that's not from you I've got a name so somebody shot I got an angel you can't see [Applause] that's weird it's weird you believe in angels what do you believe in something something y'all believe in college-aged boys and tight pants your hope is in them and i can't have an angel well I got angels I don't make me flap it you I will flap right in your face I got angels I got something better than an angel I have the spirit that raised Christ from the dead and unprotected I'm protected even sometimes what you will call a disappointment in one season of your life you will see as a defense later you will see that if I had gotten what I wanted when I wanted it it wouldn't have been a blessing cuz I wasn't ready hope I'm helping somebody I hope I'm helping somebody I will guard you along the way God says I'll protect you and the second one he says I will bring you to the place so I'll guard you along the way and I'll bring you to the place if guard you along the way is God's promise to protect bring you to the place is his promise to position and one thing I've really come to believe is that God is good at getting me where he wants me when he wants me for reasons that I do not understand while I'm there and honestly some of the places that God has sent me in my life is not where I wanted to go I'm gonna say something to you that I never ever said before in public I said it to Holly I might have said it to a few of our team members 13 years ago but I never said it in a big room like this I didn't even want to come to Charlotte because it seemed to me like Charlotte had churches covered have you looked it's trees and steeples people it's a lot of them already I say God what could it possibly have to do with me to be in this town where there's already all these big churches it was Joe's Crab Shack that God used and just in a way I can't explain and I'm preaching to somebody with an attitude right now because you don't even like where you live you don't even like it but often God positions you according to a higher priority than your preference and it's called his purpose I'm sending my angel and he will bring you to the place here's the interesting thing the angel can bring you to the place but it cannot go in for you all God can do because it is a cooperation of grace and faith that causes his kingdom to operate on earth as it is in heaven all he can do is set you up but he will not take the step for you if God took the step for you it would not be kindness it would be cruelty if God took the step for you he would put you in a place that your faith was not prepared for so the great tragedy of Exodus 23 is that God sent the protection to bring them to the place yet an entire generation never entered in did you hear me the entire congregation that Moses is delivering the message to doesn't get to experience the benefits of God's promise and here's where it's a little theologically controversial God's promises are not automatic they're optional joy is optional peace is optional you can have it or you can leave it you can live in bitterness or you can live in deliverance but you have to take the step now God says I've positioned you I've protected you I kept you alive I brought you threw it the sea didn't sweep over you the slave master didn't kill you with his whip all I did was bring you out with the possession that you need to go into the place that I've prepared for you three not only will he protect me not only will he position me but he will prepare me now we got three piece let's preach God has been setting you up for this step all of your life and before you is the goodness and the glory of God made possible by the grace of Jesus Christ if it's just three people I came with an announcement you're ready now you don't have to live in what was any longer and you don't have to stay stuck in a mindset then no longer accommodates your anointing you're ready now the sense the Spirit of the Lord I kept you all your life I sustained you through many dangers toils and snares and now you're ready high five somebody looks happy say I'm ready I will protect you I will position you and I will dirty word prepare you not a very fun one I know I know and the way he does it is terrible the way he does it is terrible did y'all hear about the boiled frog have you heard this they teach I don't know why someone would want to do this I'm not recommending it but if you want to boil a frog you ever just get it in your mind you want to boil a frog if you heard this before it's the old preacher thing if you if you if you want to boil a frog don't put it in a boiling pot put it in a pot and turn up the heat little by little and the Frog won't know he's being boil now I don't know what made the preacher wanna boil a frog I can't answer that but he is correct when the enemy wants to steal your confidence in the promise of God he doesn't do it all at once because if that alarm really went off you jump out the bed so what does he do little by little and that's the warning that God is giving his people I'm sending my angel ahead of you but if you don't pay attention and if you don't listen to what he says you will come to the place and I can prove to you that this happened to them because they got the edge of the promise and they stopped and the reason that they stopped is because two two spies went in to the land and came out with faith that they could do it ten spies went in and said they're bigger than us the Canaanites the Hittites the Jebusites the Perizzites the Hivites the amorite they're bigger than us they're but but but guess what they were already on the run sometimes you are running from something that God has already defeated so they're standing at the place God has protected them along the way God has what's the second one position them for this moment what's the third one he prepared them but guess what the angel can't do there's one thing the angel can't do and will not do there's one thing God won't do for you he'll protect you he'll keep you you'll keep your mind you'll keep your sanity he'll keep you from people that would harm you he will keep you from places that you didn't even know if you would have been there what would happen and you will never even know on this side of life how many times got blocked stuff and turned stuff and shifted stuff and move stuff and you thought it was just you were a little bit late because you forgot your wallet but there was a car accident on 77 that had your name on it and when the devil said they're out God said I've got so they're there anyway they're so anyway they're so anyway there's so many things you don't even know to thank God for if you could see for one moment all of the things God kept you from [Applause] [Music] listen to me Blakeney if we ever got a revelation of what God kept us from it would be a bad day for the worship team because all the worship leaders wouldn't have a job because we wouldn't even need them because we would lead ourselves in worship because we would walk in the door and we will walk in the door clapping and shouting and rejoicing embracing God but sometimes we don't see all the things that he's kept us from and brought us to and now we're at this place and God has protected us yeah God has positioned us absolutely and God has prepared us but there's one thing he won't do he will not possess the land for you and here's the word of the Lord I will go before you but I will not go for you your faith must make this step your faith must make this stuff and most of them never did now if they had gone in they would have seen that the Giants that were still in the land were left there on purpose that was always confusing to me God said I'm gonna be an enemy to your enemies I'm gonna oppose those who oppose you and when you get to the land I'm gonna start driving them out I'm gonna chase them away so you can inherit what I have promised to you but Benny says I'm not going to do it all at once I'm gonna do it like the Frog little by little I'm gonna do it look well wait a minute God if these are Giants who can kill us and cause us to worship other gods shouldn't you get rid of them as soon as possible come on I mean wouldn't it make sense that if God wants something out of your life he would take it out right away and maybe this is just me because I grew up in churches where they said if you will pray this prayer Jesus will come into your heart and he will take away your fear and he will take away your pain and he will dry every tear from your eye and then I cried that night and I couldn't figure out where did that Kleenex go that cosmic Kleenex that Jesus was gonna bring and wipe every tear from my eye I couldn't figure it out because I was expecting sanctification to work like salvation when Jesus saves you he does it all at once he doesn't set you up on a thirty year payment plan salvation is not a mortgage when he comes in he comes all the way in and for those of you who have received his grace let me tell you something that's amazing this amazing you're a shout lean on the edge of your seat you will never be more forgiving than you are right now you will never be more loved than you are right now when he forgives you he forgives you completely immediately fully without qualification there is no corner of your heart he didn't see when he sent His Spirit to live within you you will never be more forgiving than you are right now but there is a difference between forgiveness and freedom forgiveness happens all at once freedom happens little by little by little by little and it's often so incremental that you don't even think is happening this is for everybody who's 40 and thought you would be smarter than you are right now and you keep doing dumb stuff that you've been doing all your life and you still feel approach to the back row I don't need any love you're doing stuff right now that you were doing at age 14 and you got your own 14 year old and you still feel like a little kid yourself and it happens too it happened to Paul Paul was that great apostle have you heard of him he took the gospel to the Gentiles what God started through Abraham he continued through Paul he told Abraham he said I got an assignment for you all the nations of the earth will be blessed through you what oh what an assignment he said but don't worry about it I'm going to bless you so you can be a blessing I will not require from you a resource that I do not put within you you hear me if God called you to race those hard-headed kids he will make your head even harder boom you met your match now because God gave me God gave me a cranium that can withstand all of your craziness now God gives him the assignment and he gives him the assistance and Paul in many ways was graced he was graced to be able to speak eloquently he was graced to be able to preach to the Diaspora of the Jewish tradition that he himself came from but one thing about Paul he couldn't understand he couldn't understand there was something in his life that he expected God to take away that God left you got anything like that fella looking at me so weird right now maybe you're beyond Paul I would understand if you were holier than Paul that would that would make sense but Paul was struggling he hadn't quite arrived to your level of spiritual development and maturity Paul said there was something that I asked God to do for me that he would not do now if you want to know what it was Paul's gonna disappoint you because he refuses to name it by name and I'm glad he didn't name it by name cuz if he would have said it I couldn't relate to it but the fact that he used this image and I want to read it to you now 2nd Corinthians 12:7 it means that whatever is left in your life whatever is left in your life that you have been blaming on the devil can be used by God to fulfill his purpose for your life if you got anything like that wave at me so I can see the seven people that God gave me this message for Paul said I was ascended to the third heaven I saw things in utter ople I was used by God in ways that are astounding in fact beyond human vocabulary therefore now watch this this is crazy he says because of that level of blessing God gave me an equal burden because the greater the assignment the greater the adversity the greater the assignment the greater the attack so Paul said God took me up so high and showed me so much that there had to be something in my life that would keep me grounded to his grace he doesn't name it by name he doesn't need to because he knows you have your own so he simply says therefore in order here's the clue to keep me from becoming conceited there was something that God gave Paul to keep him in a space called grace so that he would never forget who led him along the way something he would never forget who brought him out of bondage and darkness into the marvelous light God said I'm gonna I'm gonna leave some stuff in your life and so in order to keep me from becoming conceited there was given to me it sounds like he's about to get a new car right he gave me gave me it's got me in the mindset of a gift what did he give you Paul did he give you a house did he give you a promotion I'm gonna give you a blessing no no no he gave Paul said one day the devil showed up on my doorstep with a package and it had a bow on it I was getting I open the package and in the package was a thorn now it was a gift but it didn't look like a gift it was a gift but it was wrapped in something that looked like pain I was given watch this a thorn in my flesh was it a sickness was it a temptation Paul was it people talking about him and he couldn't shut him up was it Facebook probably and he calls it this is crazy a messenger of Satan how can he refer to it as a gift if it came from the enemy it was sent to torment him that was the devil's intention to torment him Paul said God took what the enemy intended to torment me and used it to transform me so the enemy's tools of torment become God's tools of transformation and now I get it now I get Exodus 23 because it's not just the Angels that God sends ahead of you that he used us to bless you those are wonderful it's not just all of the promotion's and it's not just the prosperity and it's not just the peaceful situations it's not just the yeses sometimes God uses the nose to lead you to a greater yes God said no I won't take it away but yes I will give you so much grace that you will be stronger than it and you will discover a power that you could have never known if you didn't have a problem but he said to me my grace if I shop grapes shop breaks don't mumble shout grace shout grace like you need it shout grace like you can't make it without it shout grace like it's not just something you say before you eat it shout grace like you live by it sound grace like he died to give it sound grace like you know it's the avenue of blessed so he didn't give me relief he gave me grace and now I did it why God left the Giants in the land because he had them under contract see they were they were used to having to keep up their own land yet so God said imma do you a favor I'm gonna keep some enemies on your property but don't worry about your enemies they work for me I am God that's good to me is good to me is good to me would it be bad if I downloaded this podcast myself he said imma leave some things i'ma leave some weaknesses in your life take it away nah we'll work through it no imma leave that weakness in your life and your weakness is going to lead you to my strength God says sometimes I Drive the Giants out sometimes I let them stay and I give them a job sometimes I use the devil to deliver my mail sometimes I use adversity to create an advantage in your life sometimes I take what people meant for evil and use it for good cuz I'm God like that and I got so bad and I'm already there so I'm gonna use not only my angel but I'm gonna use your enemies and I'm gonna leave them there why would you leave enemies on my territory it's very simple historians tell us that the land of Canaan at this time was populated with wild animals that the Canaanites knew how to deal with but the Israelites didn't yet particularly the Lions that lived in the land and so God knew if I clear out all the enemies at once the Lions will take them over what's a group of lions call does it anybody know what uh-oh what so God said if I clear all your enemies out all at once pride will take over Paul said I've delight in weaknesses canaanites insults parasites hardships have i'ts don't you see it Paul said I'm glad for my joyous I don't just thank God for my angels I thank him for my Giants too they taught me how to fight they built my faith so it's a deep message it's a deep message it's one thing to praise God for your protection but it's another thing to praise him for your problems I want to suggest that sometimes your problems are your protection from yourself you've had an addiction all your life and you've asked God to take the desire away and he won't why because I want you to need me and I want you to choose to serve me I will not force you to be free I want it to be your decision so I'm gonna leave some things in your life that I know you want me to take out but I'm not sending you into the fire alone I will be with you to deliver you and I will protect you and I will prepare you and I will position you but I cannot possess it for you only you can possess this place only you can do it I can preach to you these principles but I cannot possess them no one can do it for you stop expecting for God's deliverance to be sudden the greatest gift God can give you is gradual change so that he hides you from your own progress to prevent your pride [Applause] God doesn't even want you to know you're growing he wants you to trust his grace and that's why God said to Paul I'm not gonna give you the gift of relief I'm gonna give you something greater grace it looks like a thorn but it's really grace the devil might have dropped it off at the doorstep but I'm the one who addressed it to you and no I won't drive them all out and know I'm not gonna make it easier you know what God won't fix your attitude he'll give you his spirit little by little as you serve and pray show up trust that he's working in your life little by little little by little I am bringing you into the place that I have prepared for you the greater assignment gets the greater assistance if you've been going through some of the things that Paul mentioned weakness insults hardship persecution difficulties he mentions five and verse 10 I believe they're the five Giants that God leaves a measure of in all of our lives I believe he leaves a little bit of all of that in all of our lives to teach us to trust if it's been speaking to you today while I've been preaching and you would like for me to agree in prayer for you to take your next step in faith stand to your feet and I will please at every location something that you wanted God to take away but he's left it for a reason please don't leave because somebody might be standing about something that's much more serious than traffic so please stay right where you are when God releases a word like this into your life is kind of like that angel it can only transform you to the level that you put your attention on it and decide to obey it and so what you've heard today has been a principle from God's Word a principle of possession and the principle is this it's ready when you are it's ready when you are God gave you the giant as a gift to teach you to drive it out by faith that's how he strengthens you and the opportunity is before you today I said I'll protect you I will I'll prepare you opposition you but I will not possess it for you the gift that I'm going to give you is the grace to be patient as you possess the promise father would you minister right now to each son and daughter that you have called by name and chosen for this time the grace that they need for their specific situation you said to Paul my grace is sufficient for you I believe that promise is personal for me and for them I don't believe there's a situation in this room that you would not declare over my grace is enough so we stand in the sufficiency of your spirit and your son today and on every location I come into agreement with your people that we will not waste our angel we will not waste this message we will not waste this moment you have brought us this far you have brought us to far you have been too good and done too much for us to stand outside of freedom wishing about it thinking about it and singing about it but not experiencing it I declare in the name of Jesus we shall be free we shall who possess the land we shall inherit the promise we shall receive all that you died to provide you we shall rise as you are risen come up with a shadow mad people [Music] [Applause] by faith we will inherit the land god I come against the spirit of discouragement today the devil is a liar that spirit that always tells us what's the point you're just like your word never gonna we say to that spirit shut up in the name of Jesus you're already defeated get under our feet we are the people of God get beneath us right now we are walking on what we used to run from in the name of Jesus and every place we set our foot you've already given it to us if we step you step as we go you go if we will you will you are God and we trust in you we declared this day total victory this is our declaration
