  • SICKNESS IS YOUR HEALTH STOLEN BY SATAN

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday November 9, 2020

    SICKNESS IS YOUR HEALTH STOLEN BY SATAN 

    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
    John 10:10 [KJV]

    You must stop explaining away your health condition.  If you are sick today, recognize that sickness implies that the thief has stolen your health.  Sickness is your health stolen by Satan, the thief.  It is not because of cold or the weather.  It is the devil, the thief, prowling about taking what does not belong to him.  In Igbo language, Satan is ekwensu. That is instructive because it means literally “ikwe ya esu” that is “if you agree, it would start raging”  That is to say that until you agree with the terms of Satan, he is powerless and all his activities and wickedness cannot start raging in your life.  You can say “Satan get lost now, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, I curse your manoeuvrings and manipulations against my body now, get out in Jesus name Amen” and that halts all his agenda against you.  But you could also just be mute like a nepios and the devil will have a field day in tormenting your physical body.

    Are you going to continue to allow Satan to steal your health and that of your family members? There are families today, that are pharmacy store by virtue of the value of drugs that they store at home, with which they nurse sickness and disease.  I curse that ignorance gone on rampage in your life and family now in the name of Christ Jesus!  You have been redeemed, why are you living like you have not.  Christ Jesus didn’t come to establish a religion. No,  a thousand times No!  WE are not in a religion, we are in a life and that life give light to men.  Why are you in light and still grooving in darkness in your physical body as a result of sickness?  Why would you continue to allow the thief to steal your health inheritance in Christ?  That manipulation ends now in your life.  Get up, get angry and make that bastard thief to restore all that he has stolen from you.  Proverbs 6:30-31 says, ‘ 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;  31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.’  When the thief is caught, he must restore.

    In Luke 13:16, the Lord Jesus says, ‘And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?’  That means that Satan was the culprit that stole this woman’s health for 18 solid years.  This devil is very wicked and heartless.  Until this particular infirmity ate up all that this woman had in terms of wealth.  Whether it is cancer, tumour, arthritis, fever or whatever name it goes by, it is Satan that is behind it.  He is caught today and I command that he restores to you whatever he has stolen from your body.  In the name of Christ Jesus, be healed now, be restored now!  From today, never allow the thief to tamper with your health or that of any member of your family.  At any slightest sight of his maneuverings, shoot him down in the name of Christ Jesus. Shalom!

    REMEMBER:  Sickness is the devil stealing your health.

    PRAYER:   Satan you have no room in my body or in my family. In the name of Christ Jesus, get lost in my health, family and in the lives of those associated, connected and related to me now in Jesus Name Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   Today marks the end of that harassment of Satan in your health in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE FACTS VERSUS THE TRUTH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday November 5, 2020

    THE FACTS VERSUS THE TRUTH

    For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
    John 1:17 (KJV)

    Not differentiating between the fact and the truth will keep you bound to sickness. On the surface, they seem to mean the same thing but are actually very different. While a fact is the description of the state of a thing, the truth is the reality of a thing.   The truth is always constant, but the fact changes based on the prevailing situation. Water, for example, is said to have three states: solid, liquid and gaseous states. Depending on the temperature, the state changes. That’s how a fact is. It is so unreliable. It may be a fact that your body temperature is high, but the truth is that you are healed by His stripes (I Peter 2:24). That you have not carried your own baby does not make you barren. The Bible says, ‘No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land’ (Exo.23:26). Again the Bible says in Deut.7:14, ‘You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.’

    But how could you claim to be healed when it is a fact that your body is still hot, or your legs still crippled? Are you not lying? Remember the words of Jesus: ‘Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth’ (John.17:17). Whatever the Word says is the truth. And if the Word says I am healed, then let every stethoscope, sphygmomanometer or thermometer, ‘be a liar.’ “Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar…” (Rom.3:4).  The Bible also says in John 8:32, ‘And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’.  Jonah 2:8 says, ‘They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.’ Every symptom is a lie of the devil, but if you keep observing and believing such lying vanities, you will forfeit the mercy of divine healing.

    While (still) in the belly of the fish, Jonah said, ‘But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.’ (Jon. 2:9).  It really was a sacrifice of thanksgiving. It would not be that easy for you to give thanks to God while being in the belly of a fish. That was why he called it a sacrifice. You may have to offer that sacrifice of thanksgiving in spite of your situation. When Jonah offered that sacrifice of thanksgiving in the midst of an unsavoury situation, we see the result in the following verse.  ‘So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah unto dry land.’ (Jonah 2:10).  Can you see the effects of thanking God? The fish that swallowed him couldn’t keep him. Beloved, if you can stop blaming God for your predicament, if you can stop feeling sorry for yourself, if you can stop the bitterness, things will change for the better. Yes, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, the first step to a full recovery is for you to stop playing the blame game. Sometimes you hear people saying, “After all the commitment and sacrifice I’ve made for God, is this His way of rewarding me?” Being ungrateful makes one a great fool. Start thanking God and no situation will be able to keep you down.

    REMEMBER:  It maybe a fact that your head hurts, but it is the truth that you were healed.

    CONFESSION:  I am not moved by what I see or feel.  I am only moved by the truth, the Word of God.  I am the healed and I cannot be sick.  Glory to God!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Whatever is negating the truth in your life is cursed now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • IT IS NOT ONLY THE BODY THAT CAN BE SICK

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday November 4, 2020

    IT IS NOT ONLY THE BODY THAT CAN BE SICK

    Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
    Deuteronomy 28:59 (KJV)

    When we talk about sickness, it is important to note that it is not only the body of man that can be sick.  Your business can be sick.  Your career can be sick.  Your marriage can be sick. Whatever that is not working well is sick.  Whatever is not in the state of wellness and wholeness is sick.  You are working on something and after you have put in every effort still no results, that venture and endeavour is sick.  So sickness transcends the sphere of the physical body.  In our opening text, we saw the plague of the seed.  This was talking about your source of income, meaning that your source of livelihood can be sick.  Then it talks about when something happens over a long period, then that thing is sick.  If a particular negative situation persists, you are looking at sickness of that particular situation.  When you discover that you are putting in much and getting little or no results at all, then it is time to start calling for the healing of that particular thing.

    II Chronicles 7:14 says, ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’  We see that the land can be sick.  When the land is sick, it refuses to yield her increase.  People will start suffering unnecessarily.  There will be famine because the land would not yield; the land is sick.  As a person, your land can be sick. Anything of long continuance is sick and needs healing.  Staying for a long time in the state of being unmarried is the manifestation of marital destiny sickness.  Graduating from college and not able to get a job over a long time is the manifestation of destiny sickness.

    We are highlighting all these areas to show that sickness is not just a body affair.  You must look into your life and see if there is any aspect that the healing touch of the Lord Jesus must touch this month and bring them out.  Jesus Christ is our great physician and He heals all manner of sicknesses both in the body and in life and destiny.  No matter how far your marriage has gone down the drain, it can be healed today.  Just about anything can be healed.  In II Kings 4:38-41 we saw death in the pot and how the prophet cast a meal into the pot and arrested that death.  The Word of God is the meal that destroys all manner of death in the pot.  No matter what is not working, the Word of Christ Jesus can heal it today.  Just expose that situation to the great Physician today.

    REMEMBER:  Whatever that is not working over a long period of time is sick.

    PRAYER:  Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today.  I ask that you heal my marriage (mention that area) today.  Oh Great Physician, heal my finances (mention that area) now and take all the glory in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that you are returning with your testimony on that request in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • SICKNESS IS A CURSE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday November 3, 2020

    SICKNESS IS A CURSE

    Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
    Galatians 3:13 (KJV)

    This point is important you understand that sickness is a curse.  It is a curse that came as a result of sin.  Genesis 2:16-17 says, ‘16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.’  Just as we have established already that sickness and disease are instruments of death.  So when the punishment of sin was pronounced as death, sickness and disease were included in that death package.  Beloved, sickness/disease is a curse of sin, don’t play around it.  Don’t explain it away.  Sickness is not a scientific discovery.  A thousand times No!  Then came the curse of the law.  First was the curse of disobedience, then secondly the curse of the law.  The curse of disobedience came with death punishment and sickness was inside that death package. However, the curse of the law came with mentions that inexplicably draws the line for all to see what to expect when you do not comply with the law of God.

    It scares me to my bones to read these lists of curses in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.  Every form of sickness was covered even the ones that science has not found names for.  Deuteronomy 28:61 says, ‘Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.’  You know what that implies?  All manner of sickness from tumors, to insanity/madness, to all organ failures, to arthritis of all kinds, to all forms of inflammable diseases.  Then it now says that the ones that have not even come to the mind of humanity will still come upon man who insists on remaining in disobedience to the law of the Lord.  That is terrible.  Sickness and disease is clearly a curse.  It is part of the curse of the law and the curse of disobedience at creation.  Beloved, this is one of the incentive to love the Lord God and from that love, obey Him.  The blessing of obedience is awesome.  Do you know that in the Old Testament, there was no revelation of Satan because Satan is so powerless, what gives him power over man is man’s disobedience.  So, the law was given to short-circuit the devil.  If anyone can choose to love the Lord God and obey Him, he would live as though the devil does not exist.

    Now in the New Testament, the power to love the Lord God has been given to us in the new creation. If anyone is living in disobedience now, it is absolutely that individual’s choice.  If you are born again, you can live right.  You can love God because you are born of love and love is now your new nature.  Christ has delivered us from the curse of the Law and glory we can live now to please God.  Yes!!!

    REMEMBER:  In Christ, you are free from the curse of sin which includes sickness/disease.

    CONFESSION:  I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. Eternal life is at work in me now.  I cannot be sick because I have been delivered from the territory where one can be sick.  I am now living with Christ far about sickness.  Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  Every trace of the curse of sin still manifesting in your life is cursed now in Jesus name Amen!

  • WHERE DID SICKNESS COME FROM?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday November 2, 2020

    WHERE DID SICKNESS COME FROM?

    For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
    Romans 5:17 [KJV]

    Wherever you see death, just know that included in that death package is sickness and disease. Sickness and disease are instruments of death.  That is why, you must not treat the issues of your physical health with levity.  When a person sees headache for instance (God forbid, not you), that person is being toasted by death.  It is the spirit of death that is knocking and depending on how you handle that seemingly harmless headache, will determine if you will join your forefathers in the grave (God forbid, not you).  But we are saying that to say that sickness and disease are just the effects of a cause – sin.  In Genesis chapters one and two, there was no mention of sin and consequently no sickness.  But when sin came in Genesis chapter three, death was birthed and when he death came, he brought his agents, sickness and disease.  It is the offence of one Adam that brought sickness and disease and death.  All glory to Jehovah, because that is not the end of the story.

    By the offence of Adam, man sold out to the devil and became a slave and under the dominion of Satan.  The problem now is not only sin and disobedience, but of a legal handing over of dominion by man willingly to the devil.  Man was created to rule over the earth but now legally man sold his right and dominion to the devil by obeying him because you are the servant to him whom you obey (see Romans 6:16).  The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), so for the demands of justice to be fulfilled, someone must die.  So sickness, disease, infirmity and all afflictions in the body came from the devil.  They were what the devil brought to man at the fall.  You are not sick because of lack of diet or because of your environment.  No!  A thousand times No!  Sickness is the instrument of death and it is from Satan powered by sin.

    Some people think that God puts sickness on people as punishment.  James 1:17 says, ‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.’  Where there is sin, God may permit sickness because of sin (see Exodus 15:26). The Hebrew word translated put in Exodus 15:26 is suwm which can be used in the causative or permissive.  In this instance, it was actually used in the permissive.  So the translation should read, “I will permit none of these diseases”.  We are explaining this to disabuse your mind that God puts diseases on people.  If it is sickness and disease and death, it has only one source and that is Satan powered by sin and wickedness. Hey!  But God has already done something both about sin and Satan.  Christ came, died (satisfied the justice of death), was raised, ascended and is now interceding for you.  In Christ, you are now redeemed from sin, sickness and the blast, death has been abolished! (II Timothy 1:10).  That is something to shout about!

    REMEMBER:   Sickness comes from Satan powered by sin.

    CONFESSION:  Glory to Jehovah, I have been redeemed, not just that, I am now a new creation that has no past.  Sin and its consequences has been completely destroyed and abolished. Now in Christ, I am free from sin, sickness and death.  I have been delivered already. Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   I decree that that confession becomes your reality this month and forward in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (2): POTENTIALS ARE RELEASED

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday October 28, 2020

    THE BENEFITS OF ENGAGEMENT (2):  POTENTIALS ARE RELEASED

    Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
    Matthew 10:2 (KJV)

    The truth is that there are potentials locked up inside of you that are waiting for your active participation in preaching the gospel to be unlocked.  There are things that are latent in you beloved and can only be unlocked as the power of God begins to flow through you to change the lives and destinies of the people in your sphere of contacts.  So engaging in the assignment of soul-winning unlocks latent gifts and callings in your life.  Whatever God has given you in terms of gifts and potentials, He is not going to take it back (Romans 11:29), but they can be untapped until you enter eternity.  Preaching the gospel is the easy way to unlock the gifts and calling of God upon your life.  No matter what your secondary assignment on earth is, your primary assignment can bring it to prominence.  The gospel raises whatever it comes into contact with, be it your career or business.  As you give yourself to the work of preaching the gospel, everything in your life is enhanced because of divine presence.  Divine presence is a like a fertile soil upon which whatever you sow on it produces maximally.

    Look at the disciples of the Lord Jesus.  Acts 4:13 says that the Pharisees and the Sadducees marvelled at them.  They were perplexed to see that these seemingly ignorant men have become men to be wondered at.  That is what the gospel does in the life of anyone.  It has the ability to turn nonentities to celebrities.  It has the power to manifest the marvels of your life to those who think that nothing can come out of you.  The greatest answer to your critics is to be committed to the gospel because therein lies the power to make you a wonder in the midst of men.  They marvelled at the disciples and took notice and knowledge that they had been with Jesus.  You see your association with Jesus only profits you on the wings of bearing the gospel. If you want people to see the colour of your Christianity, then go mad for the gospel and see how beautiful your feet becomes.  Men will literally want to lick your feet just to make contact with you.  There is nothing that glorifies like bearing the gospel.

    There is something in you.  You are not ordinary.  You are laden with gifts and calling.  Your calling to preach is the sickle that harvests the gifts of God in your life.  The gospel is a double edged sword, it profits the bearer and the receiver.  You are doing yourself great disservice by neglecting your primary assignment as a Christian.  The truth is time is very short.  You do not have eternity to fulfill destiny.  Get going beloved!  Fulfill your ministry, preach the Word.  Tell the good news till nobody in your sphere of contacts is going to hell.  Then, suddenly, the world would begin to mind you as a result of potentials that are beginning to show forth all around you.  Selah!

    REMEMBER:  It is only bearing the gospel that has the ability to unlock the gifts and calling upon your life.

    PRAYER:  Precious Father, thank you for enlightening me today, I receive the grace to run with the gospel because the time is short.  Help me to unlock all the potentials you have locked up inside me in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree that the gifts and calling of God upon your life finds expression as you go bearing the gospel in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

  • IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING A FAILURE BUT BEING FAITHFUL

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday October 25, 2020

    IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING A FAILURE BUT BEING FAITHFUL

    And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
    John 4:36 (KJV)

    Understand that there is no failure in the harvest field.  Winning souls involves both “sowing” and “reaping.” Jesus used these terms in talking to His disciples as recorded in John 4:35-38. Exactly what is the difference between “sowing” and “reaping?” Sowing is the work necessary to enable the seed to enter the ground so that one day harvest is reaped! In agriculture, sowing involves preparing the soil and planting the seed. In winning souls to Christ, sowing likewise involves preparation and planting: (a) In which the hearts are being prepared for the reception of the gospel.  (b) In which the hearts are first introduced to the gospel and its principles.  Reaping is the actual “harvesting” of what has been sown. In agriculture, reaping is the collection of the fruits which have produced by the sowing into the barn or storage facilities for preservation. In winning souls, reaping is that harvesting which occurs when souls who have had the Word planted in their hearts decide to obey it and are subsequently planted in the local church! What is important to appreciate is the statement quoted by Jesus in John 4:37, “One sows and another reaps.” Those who sow do not always witness the reaping that may one day occur. And many times those who reap are benefiting from the efforts of those who did the sowing before them. In evangelism, this means that often times you will be sowing the seed and it may appear that you are not getting any results. But some time later those souls you were trying to reach may decide to finally obey the gospel and another Christian may actually do the reaping in your place! Then again, there will be times when people just sort of “fall into your lap,” ready and anxious to obey the gospel with little effort on your part. In this case, you are reaping what others have sown! The point to keep in mind is that evangelism involves both “sowing” and “reaping,” and there will be times when what you sow will be reaped by someone else. Let this be an encouragement to you when it appears that you are not reaping as you would hope. You might actually be making it much easier for some brother or sister in the future!

    So in evangelism, there is nothing like failure if there is faithfulness in planting the Word in the hearts of people. What you should concern yourself is to make sure that you are faithful in planting the Word; that you are diligent in preparing the ground for the Word to do well.  Whatever then becomes the outcome in terms of instant decisions for Christ is still success.  Sowing the Word is as much success as the person that reaps the soul into the kingdom.  Without what you have done, that reaping wouldn’t have been possible probably.  So you are a success anyhow the tide turns in the harvest field.  This is the mentality God wants you to have.  God is expecting you to be faithful.  “Moreover, it is required of a steward that a man be found faithful” (I Corinthians 4:2).  So the requirement is FAITHFULNESS.  As a believer, are you faithful in preparing the ground of the heart in intense intercession, breaking off the hold of the god of this world over the minds of the souls you are about ministering the Word?  Are you faithful in speaking the Word and not the wisdom of man?  These are the points of success in the evangelism and soul-winning.  If you are faithful, you should not be bordered if the number of decisions are not encouraging because you are just sowing and the harvest will surely be reaped.

    An important element of success in personal work is perseverance and faithfulness. Those who persist in sowing the seed eventually bear fruit. The problem with many people is wrong perspectives and negative attitudes. That translates into failure, no matter what the task is at hand.  If you have wrong perspective that it is the decisions you record that determines your success in the harvest field, you may be faced with discouragement, meanwhile, that perspective is wrong according to our opening text.  It is wrong perspective and attitudes that makes for failure.  May the Lord help you correct every wrong perspective and attitude and help you maintain the winning attitude in soul-winning in the name of Christ Jesus!

    REMEMBER:  Remember that one sows and another reaps.

    PRAYER:  Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your word.  I receive grace to be faithful in the sowing and reaping in the harvest field.  Thank You for the immense harvest of souls daily in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:  I decree grace to be faithful released upon you now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!

    TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SOUL-WINNING (9): BE COURAGEOUS

    Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
    Joshua 1:9 (KJV)

    Courage is essential for a soldier in battle and for a soldier of Christ in the fight of faith (Ephesians 6:10-18).  Courage is the strength of the soul.  God has no use for cowards (Hebrews 10:38-39).  Spiritual strength includes steadfastness, bravery, faith in God and honesty.  It does not come by accident.  It is deliberately developed.  Courage is boldness to dare anything in the harvest field.  It is only the courageous that becomes the victorious.  Whatever you cannot dare, you can never take.  The seriousness of a man’s face or his high fence, does not scare you.  Until courage is in place, conquest is not in view.  To be successful in the harvest field, therefore, one must be very courageous.  Courage to tell the truth.  Courage to preach the undiluted word of God.  Courage not to fear at the faces of the people. Jeremiah 1:8 says, ‘Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.’  It takes courage to preach somethings the Holy Spirit will give you.

    It takes courage to worship God in some places and countries today.  We saw situation like that in Babylon where Daniel was a captive (Dan. 6).  By divine providence Daniel was one of the three presidents under the kingdom of Babylon.  He was impeccably honest (vv. 3-5).  He openly served God knowing that he was risking his position and his life (v. 10).  He would not compromise his service to God for any reason. He overcame through God (vv. 16, 22).  It takes courage to stand against sin.  We saw in the lives Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. (Dan. 3).  It takes courage to flee evil.  Joseph is a clear example (Genesis 39).  It takes Courage to fight (even when no one else will): David (1 Samuel 17).  It takes courage to teach the truth.  Prophet Nathan confronted King David at God’s word and that could have cost him his life.

    How do we come about this courage.  First, righteous living makes bold.  Proverbs 28:1 says, ‘The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.’  It is not possible to walk boldly in unrighteousness.  Sin corrupts your courage and turns it into bold face but bold face is not courage.  As long as you are committed to walking in righteousness and holiness, you will see yourself manifest courage.  Second, the baptism of the Holy Spirit imparts courage.  Acts 4:29-31 says that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness.  The baptism of the Holy Ghost is for boldness in the harvest field.  When you are a person given to praying in the tongues of the Spirit, you will exhibit tremendous courage in the harvest field.  It takes courage to see miracles.  As you declare boldly the Word, the manifestation is called miracles.  Acts 14:3 says, ‘Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.’  As they spoke boldly, signs and wonders were done by their hands.  Courage is the springboard of signs and wonders.  Whether in your life or in the harvest field learn to speak boldly the Word of God because that is the platform for the manifestation of signs and wonders.

    REMEMBER:  It takes courage to command signs and wonders and it takes signs to command the attention of souls.

    CONFESSION:  Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  I function in the righteousness of God and anointed to speak boldly with attendant signs following.  Hallelujah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE:   From today as you say it, you shall see it in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
