Saturday Message (Session 2) - Pastor Marc Cargill (September 28, 2013) | Life Bible Church

has been here. Mark and his wife actually started

a church with his father. His father was a pastor

in Washington, and they planted a church and

pioneered a church in Whidbey Island, and he

did that for about 17 years. And then the Lord

spoke to him. He'll probably share a little bit

about that. The Lord spoke to him in the midst

of being a successful senior pastor there to

pick up his family, move, and pioneer. the Phoenix,

Arizona greater area in Gilbert, Arizona, so

he's been doing that for the last four or five

years and I just Have such great honor for guys

that are pioneers. It's a whole different breed

Of being able to launch something and do something

and have that apostolic grace to forge into a

place takes a grace to pastor something that's

already established. But there's just an honor

there of what it takes to go through that process

of starting from scratch and the faith to see

it. And so he had an amazing message last night.

I can tell you that I was purposely with him.

Haven't shared a lot about our journey and just

where we're at as a church. And the word of the

Lord last night to the church in the time of

the season was was awesome. I know he heard the

very voice of God and the things that he spoke

to Jenny and I, even last night, if you'd like

to get the CD, was phenomenal just in what he

heard and picked up from the Spirit of God. It

just falls in line. And God has been so good

over the years in some of our anniversary services

just to reestablish every year at some point

part of the original vision to let us know What

the mandate and what was heard is still the thing

that's on the heart of God? So would you this

morning welcome? Pastor Mark Cargill as he comes

to the stage this morning give him a life Bible

welcome. Thank you Thank you very much, thank

you so much give me a second here I lost my little

pack thing so I'm trying to Find out what to

do here. We'll get her figured out All right,

tell you what no, I got it Put my wallet on the

pulpit and there you go replace it with the pack.

Well. It's great to be here today. What an amazing

Time we had last night, and I'm excited about

the things that God wants to speak into our hearts

this morning and we are down in Gilbert, Arizona,

getting ready to start our service here in just

a few minutes. In fact, right now, they are in

their prayer time and just crying out to God

for God to show up there. The name of the church

that we planted is called Hope Church. If you

want to find us online, it's hopechurch .co .co.

And we planted in 2011 and moved down there in

2010. father of five wonderful children, four

boys, and a girl. The last one was a girl. And

funny enough, my wife's mom bought a placard

that's on the wall over her bed that says this,

what part of princess don't you understand? So

that should kind of tell you the kind of the

chemistry in our kids and what's going on with

there. It's a pretty fun family to be around.

We're excited about what God is doing. My wife

Cheryl and I have been married for 27 years,

and it's just been an amazing journey of joy

and excitement. We've experienced God do some

amazing things. And in this new chapter of our

lives, we've been watching as God's been leading

us and helping us to build a church there in

the Gilbert, Arizona, Phoenix metro area. We

have a big vision, big heart to see what God

wants to do. There in the Phoenix metro area

is over 5 .2 million people. So there's a lot

of people that need Jesus. And our mission is

to make it hard for people to go to hell. And

so that's really what we want to see happen there

in that region. So we're committed to those kinds

of things. But I know God's called you to do

some amazing things here. So my time this morning

with you is really to just encourage you. And

whenever I go to a church to minister and I've

been in many different places all over the country

and around the world, and it's been an interesting

journey to just let God speak through me about

people and about churches. Usually when I come

to a church, I really spend a lot of time just,

God, what do you want to say to this people?

There are some that kind of... Go over their

messages. They've preached in other places and

kind of repackage it and preach it again in a

new venue and they've never heard it before so

they don't know and and I have to say that that

I haven't really done that very very much, but

I have done it And I got to tell you that as

I was thinking about coming here the Lord spoke

to me a very clear word About your church and

about where you are as a people and So the Lord

gave me three messages, and I'm preaching three

times, so I thought, what a great fit. So I decided,

I just really felt led by the Spirit of God to

just do a mini -series of messages starting last

night. It's all on the subject of possessing

the promises. In Joshua chapter 1, God told Joshua,

Joshua 1 · chapter mention

I'm promising you the same thing I promised Moses,

and you're going to go in and possess the land.

And it's important that you have to understand

that Promises once they're given must be possessed.

You do have to go in and take them. Or else they're

just gonna sit there in front of you as you sit

there and ask God why they're not coming to pass.

You've gotta go in and take the land. You have

to take the promise. You have to possess it.

So last night we talked a little bit about the

importance of being strong. And three times God

told Joshua to be strong. In fact, it was the

first thing that he told Joshua to do was to

be strong. So we talked about strength for the

journey last night. This morning I want to go

into talking a little bit about what God told

Joshua when he said that no one will be able

to stand against you all the days of your life.

And what that means basically is, okay, you're

going to go into the land, but there are going

to be people that are going to attack you. You're

going to have an enemy, and he's going to come

against you. He's going to try to undermine what

I have told you to do. I don't know about you,

but I have discovered in my life that whenever

God gives me a promise, the enemy has heard it

too. And then he will do everything he can to

keep me back from fulfilling the promise and

receiving and seeing the promise come to pass

in my life. It's no different from you. God has

given you a prophetic purpose here in this church.

He also has a prophetic purpose for your life

personally. And he wants to see you fulfill it.

He's given you promises and purpose to bring

your life together with the purpose and plan

of God so that you can live life on purpose and

experience the promise being fulfilled. But the

enemy knows that promise too. And he wants to

resist you. And he wants to come against you.

And he wants to attack you. And he wants to hinder

you. And so my job this morning is to help equip

you with some things that I think will help you

in overcoming resistance. So I want to speak

to you from that subject today, overcoming resistance.

Because every church will experience resistance.

And I was telling Pastor Brad last night after

the service, I said, I really believe that you're

in a very, very key time as a church. You're

just in a strategic season. Now, churches are

always in strategic seasons. Because it's a strategic

Organism. It's what Jesus died for. It's what

he said he was going to build. And so by nature

it's strategic. And so all the time you are being

a strategic people in a strategic time. But I

thought in this 12th year anniversary, you've

celebrated 12 years of God establishing and building

and growing. And today, I really believe that

you're in a season and time where God's wanted

to take you up into a whole other level and to

another place of purpose. And in order for you

to do that, you need to overcome the resistance

of the evil one because He has heard the purpose

too. And he knows what's in your pastor's heart.

And he knows what God has written across the

destiny of this church. He knows what God has

in mind. He has heard the prophetic words in

years past. He's heard the vision as it's been

written down and heard it as it's been preached

from this pulpit. And the enemy knows. And he's

gonna resist you. One of the classic stories

in the Bible about overcoming resistance and

the enemy resisting. The plan of God in building

and restoring something is out of the book of

Nehemiah. In the book of Nehemiah, Nehemiah was

a man who was told by God to go to the city of

Jerusalem, which had been totally destroyed by

the enemy. Its walls were broken down. The city

was just really a rubble heap. And he was told

by God to go there and rebuild the wall of the

city. And so he began to do that and began to

ask God for favor and open doors. And when you

know it, God gave him favor. Not only that, but

God paid for his way there. Not only that, God

paid for the project by a pagan king. And so

he gets there with money from the wicked and

he arrives on scene to build and he sets his

hand to build the temple of the Lord. And when

you know it, even before the first stone is laid,

he finds resistance. from a man by the name of

Sanballat who is a type and a symbol of Satan

and Sanballat begins to resist Nehemiah at every

turn resist him and resist him and resist him

in the story of Sanballat and Nehemiah I really

believe is a great Story of you and I overcoming

resistance because the evil one is going to resist

you and it's going to resist God's plan and purpose

for you for your children for your business For

your future for what he has for in store for

you for your marriage God's got a plan and a

purpose for your life and he wants to do something

in you But the enemy is going to come against

you and resist you you need to deal with the

sand ballot in your life and overcome the resistance

of the evil one Nehemiah chapter six, verses

one through 16. We'll start there and jump into

this scripture today and try to dive through

this and get there as quick as we can. Nehemiah

chapter six, verse one through 16. Now it happened

when Sanballat, Tobiah, and Gesham the Arab and

the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt

the wall and that there were no breaks left in

it, though at that time I had not hung the doors

and the gates. that Sanballat and Gesham sent

to me saying, come let us meet together among

the villages in the plain of Ono. Yeah, it's

Ono every time Sanballat wants to get together.

And they thought to do me harm. So I sent messengers

to them saying, I'm doing a great work so that

I cannot come down. Why should the work cease

while I leave it and go down to you? But they

sent me this message four times and I answered

them in the same manner then Sam Ballant sent

his servant to me as before the fifth time with

an open letter in his hand and in it was written

it is reported among the nations and Gesham says

That you and the Jews plan to rebel Therefore

according to these rumors you are rebuilding

the wall that you may be their king And you have

also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning

you at Jerusalem saying there's a king in Judah

Now these matters will be reported to the king

so come therefore and let us consult together

Then I sent to him saying no such things as you

say are being done, but you invent them in your

own heart For they are for they all were trying

to make us afraid I'm gonna say that again for

they all were trying to make us afraid saying

their hands will be weakened in the work and

it will not be done. That is what the enemy is

trying to do to you. He's trying to weaken you.

He's trying to make you afraid. So that the purpose

and plan of God for you and for this church will

not be done. So then Nehemiah says, therefore,

O God, strengthen my hands. We talked about that

last night. Verse 10, afterward I came to the

house of Shemaiah, the son of... Deliah and the

son of Mahathabal who was a secret informer and

he said Let us meet together in the house of

God within the temple sounding all spiritual

And let us close the doors of the temple for

they're coming to kill you and indeed at night

They will come to kill you and I said should

such a man as I flee And who is there? Such as

I who would go into the temple to save his life.

I will not go in Then I perceived God had not

sent him at all But that he pronounced this prophecy

against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired

him For this reason he was hired that I should

be afraid and act that way and sin So that they

might have cause for an evil report that they

might reproach me My god remember Tobiah and

Sanballat according to these works and the prophetess

Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who have

made me afraid Verse 15, so the wall was finished

on the 25th day of Elul which by the way in our

calendar is October 2nd It's just a interesting

piece of information there In 52 days the work

was done it happened when all our enemies heard

of it all the nations around us saw these things

And they were very disheartened in their own

eyes. I want you to listen to this for they Perceived

that this work was done by our God Even the devil

knew Wow God showed up there and in record time

and in record ways God built his purpose in that

place, you know, the enemy wants to And Sam Ballett

had certain plans and goals that he wanted to

accomplish in attacking and coming against and

resisting Nehemiah. Same for you. In this story,

there are specific things that we see in the

verses that I read that really illustrate for

us what the enemy's goal is for you. On the other

side of it, God has a strategy for you to be

able to counteract the enemy and what his plan

is. And I just want to quickly go through these

things today and really just encourage you to

recognize that even though the enemy wants to

come against you, to hinder, to discourage, to

make you afraid, to do all the different things

that he's going to do to try to distract and

to try to undermine and try to neutralize, The

plan and purpose of God. Friend, I got news for

you today. God wants you to live a life of victory.

And he wants you to overcome and he wants you

to fulfill his plan and purpose for your personal

life as well as this plan and purpose he has

for this church. And no demon in hell is gonna

overcome the kingdom and church of God. And no

plan of the enemy is gonna succeed against the

people of God. And no thing, no weapon formed

against you will prosper. So what is it that

we do to overcome the plan and strategy, the

goal of the evil one? Well, first of all, let's

think about this. We'll go back and forth as

we talk about the enemy's plan and God's strategy.

First of all, in this story, Sanballat wanted

to discredit, he wanted to discredit Nehemiah.

He wanted to put it out there that Nehemiah had

his own agenda. He wanted to put it out there

that his motives weren't right, that he was really

wanting to be king, that he really wanted to

rebel against the king and do his own thing.

And really, really, he just, I mean, he was spreading

a report. about Nehemiah and his motives. And

the enemy will try to discredit you. He will

try to discredit you in your own personal life.

There will be people that he will send maybe

on your job or in school or something. They'll

be talking about you and trying to discredit

you. And you cannot let that affect your focus

on the purpose of God for your life. You've got

to be trained with your eyes on the vision of

what God has said for you to do. I have a friend

of mine who owns a lot of restaurants and when

she was first starting out, there were people

in her company that were not, they were doing

this very same thing, spreading rumors about

her and saying that she really was in it for

her own. plans and trying to undermine the favor

with her boss. And she had a goal and a plan

and a purpose to really make this thing succeed

and honor her boss. Her motives were right and

her motives were pure. But everybody, not everybody,

but there were a lot of people that began talking

and undermining certain key people were really

trying to undermine her position in the company.

She just stayed true to what she knew God told

her to do and she let God be her her justifier

she let God be her vindicator and and wouldn't

you know it but man God showed up in an amazing

way and vindicated her and in really miraculous

ways the story's pretty involved I won't go into

it but just to say this that God vindicated her

and showed up in a way that established her motives

as pure and caused the thing that was in her

heart to come to pass and today she owns Nine

restaurants. And as a multimillionaire, sows

tons of seed into the kingdom of God. But the

enemy in the beginning tried to discredit her.

You know, the enemy has tried to discredit you.

The enemy has tried to discredit this church.

The enemy has tried to discredit the plan and

the purpose of God for what He's wanting to do.

I mean, I didn't really know this, and in a conversation

with Pastor Brad, I actually had seen this thing

on online and also on a newspaper, and this was

in the Spirit, it wasn't something that I actually

read, I was just praying about our time together,

and I saw the enemy trying to label you. and

to try to put things on you that were not true.

And I saw this headline in a newspaper on this

website as well as people were writing and blogging

and trying to discredit the plan and the vision

of this house. And I've got to tell you something.

Don't listen and don't pay attention to those

people. God will vindicate you. God will help

you. God has your reputation in His hand. And

He won't let it come to nothing. He's gonna stand

with you and when all those people at the end

of the story line up and they're gonna have to

print a retraction. They're gonna have to retract

what they said. They're gonna have to take back

what they decided they were gonna put out there

because God is your vindicator. Now one of the

things the enemy's trying to do when he's trying

to discredit you is he's trying to attack your

identity. So your strategy is to make sure that

you confirm your identity. in Christ. The goal

of the evil one is to discredit you. God's strategy

is that you confirm your identity, that your

hand is involved in what God has said that you're

to do and that who you are is the thing that

consumes your mind and who you are in Christ

is the things that establishes what you're gonna

do and who you are. Let me say it this way. Who

you are will determine what you do and if the

enemy can get you confused about who you are

You won't do what God wants you to do When he

tries to attack you to discredit you he's trying

to attack your identity Listen, you are no longer

a slave to sin. You're no longer a slave to the

things of this world You're no longer you've

been redeemed out of sin and into God's glorious

kingdom. You have a new identity You have a new

plan. You have a new purpose. You're no longer

living for yourself. And you need to rehearse

in your mind who you are in Christ. You need

to rehearse who I am. I am born again. I am a

child of the Lord. I am not no longer am I stuck

and bound in sin, but I am now the righteousness

of God in Christ. And you need to rehearse that

identity, and Nehemiah refused to let Sambalit

define who he was. I'm not a rebel. I'm not an

underminer. I'm not somebody that's gonna come

in and just kind of do my own thing. I'm not

gonna be a revolutionary. No, I'm here to serve

the plan and purpose of the king. And he did

not let his identity be stolen from him. The

enemy's goal is also to divide. To divide. He

wants to come in and divide. There's a story.

That was from a long time ago about a weaker

army that had surrounded a stronger force. So

you had this weaker army, but they had made it

so that they could surround this force that was

even stronger than them. But some of the soldiers

were a little kind of concerned because they

knew that the force they had surrounded were

very skilled, very strong, very powerful. And

so one of the soldiers said to the general of

the weaker army, he said, how are we going to

overcome such a strong force? And the general

replied to the soldier and said this statement,

we can't conquer from without until we divide

from within. And their strategy was to send in,

and he had plants within that stronger army that

caused. hearts to be turned, betrayals began

to take place, and the weaker force overcame

the stronger army because of the divisions within.

Same is true of the kingdom of God. Jesus said

this statement, a house divided against itself

will not stand. So that means for us, our strategy

is that we guard our unity. And here at Life

Bible Church, we need to guard our unity. We

need to be on guard with it. The Bible says that

we keep the spirit of unity and the bond of peace.

The word keep is actually a word which means

to watch and guard. We need to guard our unity

in first Corinthians 1 10 It says I plead with

you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

So Paul is invoking the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ the most authoritative authoritative statement

that he could use this is the this is the greatest

authority qualifier that he could put on to his

his Appeal is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

And so he says by the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ that you all speak the same thing That

there be no divisions among you, but that you

be perfectly joined together in the same mind

and in the same judgment Listen friend. I got

to tell you today all of us have an agenda Every

person in this room has got an agenda The question

is will you submit your agenda to the vision

of the house? There's no such church. There's

no church on the planet that doesn't have people

that have an agenda in it I've got an agenda

Pastor Brad has an agenda You've got an agenda

everybody comes to a church and they have an

agenda they have expectations They have ideas

about what a church should be like everybody's

got one The question is will we submit it to

the vision of the house? because division literally

means two visions So if your vision is competing

with the vision of the house, that's a problem

And I just want to speak to you in the name of

the Lord Jesus Christ Submit your agenda to the

vision of the house There will be no success

in God's purpose in your life without submission

to the authority of God in your life And so we

have to have that spirit and come into agreement.

And there can be no agreement without submission.

Agreement without submission is impossible. And

God doesn't bless disagreement. He only blesses

agreement. And so we've got to guard our unity

and come together. The third thing that the enemy

wants to do is he wants to instill dread. He

wants to bring fear. He wants to bring intimidation.

He wants to paralyze you. Remember what Nehemiah

said. He did these things to make us afraid so

that we would not do what God wanted us to do.

Some of you are afraid. You're afraid of failing

and so you won't risk. Some of you are afraid

of what other people are going to think and so

you won't do what God has called you to do and

step out of your comfort zone. Some of you are

afraid of your past coming up again because what

happened before Was so terrible. You don't want

it to repeat itself. So you're afraid of risking

again Sometimes we get paralyzed by all kinds

of fear My wife experienced a tremendous amount

of fear when we were first married. She didn't

want me to to leave She didn't want me to go

anywhere. She just when I did and maybe traveled

out of town or whatever, she just had this paralyzing

fear, thought something would go wrong, or something

would happen, and may unlock all the doors, and

every little sound, she couldn't sleep, and just

the spirit of fear attacked her. Can I just say

this? Fear is a spirit. Paul says this in Timothy.

He says God has not given us the spirit of fear.

It's a spirit and you need to take authority

over it and so we we prayed for my wife and just

really saw a real release out of her life to

have this spirit of fear that was attacking her

and she's just been Completely freed from that

but it's been an amazing journey as God has worked

that into her life Fran I got to tell you if

you're if you are paralyzed by fear You will

not pursue God's promise for your life. You will

not possess the promise You will stay stuck being

afraid of the giant on the other side of the

river. You'll be stuck being afraid of the obstacle

on the other side of the river. You'll be stuck

at the bank of the river as other people are

going across taking risks and pursuing God's

plan and pursuing the promise and you're gonna

be stuck there paralyzed by your fear. You need

to break out of that and just have God come and

bring into your life a whole new level of faith.

And just believe that God is gonna be with you

and no matter how fearful you might be, He's

gonna increase your faith. And that's what God's

strategy is, to increase your faith, to overcome

your fear. Because fear, courage is not the absence

of fear. It is acting in spite of your fear.

So when God says to Joshua, be strong and courageous,

he's saying to him, I know you're afraid. I know

you know there's giants there. I know you know

there's enemies there. I know you know there's

the evil one there trying to come against you.

You cannot let him overcome you. Increase your

faith. The way you increase your faith, let me

give you a couple just real quick things to increase

your faith. First of all, stop listening to negative

voices. Some of us are listening to negative

things people that are coming against the sand

ballot was so negative He was accusing Nehemiah.

He was putting him down He was just doing all

these distinct being negative towards Nehemiah

and Nehemiah just would it's kind of like la

la la la la la I'm not listening Now listening

to the negative voice another thing is read large

portions of scripture do it every day Read large

portions of scripture every day. Let the Word

of God. What does the Bible say? Faith comes

by what? Hearing and hearing and hearing and

hearing and hearing and hearing. You have to

let the Word of God. I encourage you read it

out loud. Let your ears hear your voice. Speak

the Word of God. And then I think one of the

other things to build your faith is speak faith

over your life. I just got to know that man at

night time, and he read the book of Nehemiah,

I know he liked to go out at night on prayer

walks, and you got to just think, as the wall's

being built, he's probably walking around the

wall going, come on God, you're going to make

this thing work, you're going to cause this thing

to happen. I don't care what Sam Ballett says,

you're for me, when God's for me, who can be

against me? I mean, Nehemiah was a man of faith.

Look, this church is a church of faith. This

church is a people of faith. You've got to begin

to step into your promise with a spirit of faith.

That's the only way you will possess it. Overcome

the resistance of the evil one by faith. Well,

I got a lot of territory to cover here, but I'm

just going to land the plane, I think, with this.

I just want to say this tonight, or this morning.

The evil one has a plan to undermine the plan

and purpose of God for your life personally and

for this church. He has set in motion things

to try to come against you. There are people

that are going to be motivated by the evil one

to come and distract and attack and undermine

what the plan and purpose of God is for your

life personally and for this church. I want to

tell you, greater is he that is in you. that

he is in the world, and that there is no weapon

that the enemy fashions against you that will

prosper. And I tell you that when the enemy comes

in against you like a flood, the spirit of the

Lord is gonna raise up a standard against him.

He's going to silence the voice of the accuser.

He's going to cause the voice of the one who

would come to separate and divide to be silenced.

He's going to cause the evil one to be hampered.

I just saw the work of the Lord coming in. The

enemy like a roaring lion is trying to seek whom

he may devour and the evil one is going to receive

just the fist of God down upon his head. The

Bible says in the book of Psalms that the Lord

shatters the teeth of the lion. I like that.

Shatters the teeth of the lion. Let's just knock

out K .O., the evil one, right there. You need

to overcome these resistances. The evil one is

not gonna just let you waltz in to your promise.

It's gonna walk in there going, oh, this is great.

Boy, that was easy. No, actually, you're gonna

get in here and go, wow. We fought. Boy, it was

tough. But God is good. He brought us victory.

And He made us overcome. And He's gonna help

us. And no matter what it is, no matter what

financial difficulty, the enemy will attack you.

Locusts from the evil one will come. And He will

try to devour. the seed and the finances of the

house, but I gotta tell you the evil one is going

to be stopped and those things are gonna be beat

back. I tell you that God has set an order of

blessing on this house and no plan of the devil

can overcome it. No plan of the evil one can

undermine it. No plan of the thief can steal

it. There is nothing that the evil one can do

to revoke the purpose and plan of God. The Bible

says that the Lord commands a blessing. And who

can revoke the commandment of God? And God has

commanded a blessing over this house. Well, Mark,

I don't see it. I mean, you don't know my story.

If there was ever a time of lack anybody could

experience, I am experiencing it. It's okay,

you stand in that place of faith. You begin to

declare the blessing of God. You begin to keep

your eyes open to the divine opportunities of

heaven and God will open up doors for you as

you contend, as you resist, as you come against

the evil one and as you stand contending for

the blessing of God, doors will open for you

and you will see God bless you and see the things

that were resisting you fall to nothing. I wanted

to pray for you. Would you just stand at your

feet this morning? I really believe that a spirit

of victory is gonna be released in this church

and a confidence is gonna be released in this

church of the victory of God. The people who

come in here have been overwhelmed by defeat

after defeat after defeat are gonna be infused

with the spirit of victory. They're gonna be

infused with an overcoming heart. something's

gonna shift in their heart because the atmosphere

of this place will be a place of victory. When

you're in a crowd of champions, the atmosphere

is different. And this church is gonna be a crowd

of champions. And the atmosphere is gonna be

different. And there are gonna be people that

are gonna be gathered from all over this region

who have come from losing lives and they'll be

changed into champions. Because of what God is

doing here because you've overcome resistance

because of what the evil one has intended God

is going to turn it for good and you are going

to be a church known for testimony after testimony

Story after story of people who come in here

beaten devoured clubbed Defeated by the evil

one in their lives changed and transformed and

they will be turned into champions This would

be a church of champions. If you're here today

and you say, Mark, I've just been dealing with

some stuff. The evil one has been resisting me.

I've just felt like I'm under the gun. I've got

the pressure of this or the attack of that. And

you just feel that enemy being in your face and

maybe even on your back. And you want to see

God just help you shake that off and step into

a life of victory. I want you to raise your hand

right now to say, that's me. I want some victory

in this situation. I'm facing something that

I need God to bring victory into my life. Mark,

I just have the enemy coming and attacking me.

I want to see God break through in my behalf.

I want to see him bring freedom to me and just

let God bring victory in a whole new level. Father

to God, we pray today in every person and that's

their hand raised that you would come into their

story right now into this moment of their life

and you would unlock the things that the evil

one has tried to bind upon them. We pray against

the spirit of defeat and a spirit of fear. We

bind it in the name of Jesus. The plan that the

evil one has engineered and crafted for these

people, may he fall into it himself. May the

stone he positioned to fall upon them, may it

roll back upon his own head. May the pit that

he has dug for them to stumble into, may he fall

back into it himself. And instead let these people

rise out of the struggle, and out of the difficulty,

and out of the trial, and out of the attack,

and let a spirit of victory come into them. Father

I pray for solutions into their life. I pray

for directions into their life I pray for a revelation

to come to their mind that they would know what

it is that they should do next and you would

show them what they should do I pray for confidence

in the heart of every person here to know that

no matter what they're facing you are a good

God and you will take what the enemy meant for

evil and you will turn it for good I pray for

every person here that is experiencing really

the opposite of victory. They're seeing defeat

in front of them. They're seeing the contradiction

in front of them. And I pray right now the truth

of heaven would come into their story and you

would change that contradiction into a confirmation

and you would see them to be transformed out

of a life of being defeated into a life of being

a champion. And I pray over the atmosphere of

this church. That there would be a transformation

of lives that come into this place. This would

be a hospital and it would be a place of rejuvenation

and restoration. That it would be a place of

the turning and it would be a place of the transformation.

And it would be a place where those who have

been overwhelmed and overrun and defeated and

left for dead, they're gonna come into this place

and be resurrected. They're gonna come into this

place and find victory. They're going to come

into this place and find deliverance. They're

going to come into this place and find freedom.

And you're going to turn their defeat into victory.

You're going to turn what they've lost into what

they have won. You're going to turn what the

enemy meant for evil into what God has intended

for good. God, I pray that this will be a place

of the turning. This would be a place of the

transformation. That this house would be filled

with an atmosphere of champions. And that winning

spirit would be upon them. And they would know

that nothing that comes against them, no matter

what it is, no matter how insurmountable it may

appear, you will overtake them. You will cause

them to overtake the evil one, overcome the evil

one. And every plan and purpose of hell will

be defeated. and every plan and purpose of heaven

will be accomplished. I pray today that they

would be strong and very courageous, and that

no one would be able to stand against them in

resisting and defeating the vision that you have

for this place. Silence the voice of the accuser.

Bind together that which the enemy is trying

to divide. I pray today that you would come and

help this church, help these people rise to a

place of overcoming so that they overcome the

resistance of the evil one. Now let a confidence

be in their heart today as we say amen at the

end of this prayer. May they know beyond the

shadow of a doubt that you are turning, you are

working and you are overcoming the plans and

plots of the evil one. And we're not going to

live by our feelings. We're going to live by

our faith. We're not going to live by what the

reality is on our hand. We're going to live by

what the vision is for our future. And we're

going to say, God, we believe and trust you.

We're victory in our lives. Victory in our church.

This will be a house of victory and a house of

champions. In Jesus' name, everybody say amen.

Amen. Amen. God bless you.
