CCOG 2025 Ladies Conference with Emily Bowman: Lace Up Your Boots: You're Anointed For This Battle

God's children often feel isolated in their struggles, but we're never truly alone in our battles with the enemy, who strategically attacks when we're vulnerable and weary. 

• The enemy waits until we're weak and vulnerable, disguising himself so his attacks sound like our own thoughts
• We must recognize that when we feel surrounded by problems, we are actually surrounded by God
• Jesus overcame every temptation in the wilderness, showing us we can be overcomers through His blood
• The attacks come because of the anointing within us - it's not about us but about Christ in us
• As we grow in anointing, we outgrow old battles like an ox outgrows its yoke
• God doesn't want us fighting new battles with old strategies - seek fresh direction for each challenge
• David named his victory place "Baal-Perazim" - Lord of the breakthroughs (not just one breakthrough)
• Some battles require different approaches - David received different instructions each time
• The enemy can't cross the bloodline when Jesus' blood is applied to your life
• What you walked in with (weariness, bondage, sickness) is not what you're walking out with

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Please Can't work it out. Please can't work it out. Please can't work it out. Please can't work it out. The problem that I had, I just couldn't seem to solve. I tried and I tried, but I can't get deeper involved. So I turned it over to Jesus and I stopped worrying about it. Praise the Lord.

Speaker 2: 1:44

I turned it over to Jesus and I stopped worrying about it. I turned it over to Jesus Over our homes. In the name of the Lord, hallelujah, can we give Jesus a hand clap of praise? Oh, can we give this worship team a hand clap of honor? Oh, I'm thankful for my husband tonight being with me. I love him. He's my best friend. I give your pastor honor. Our family loves him. And, sister Leanne, oh, we love y'all dearly. Just, we are family here and it is such an honor.

Speaker 2: 2:27

I can't tell you how excited I've been to get to this day. I know many have prepared. Oh, there's, and you can see the details and the vision and the heart that has been poured into this event, and I don't take it for granted, because it is an opportunity for us to come in and receive and be changed by the anointing of God, amen. So I say thank you to Sister Leanne and the women. Oh, every single lady and sister who had a part in this. I just say thank you from the bottom of my heart, because we need each other. We need each other more than sometimes we realize. We draw strength from one another and it's services like tonight that will literally turn you into the position of where you may go through the rest of this year. It's times like tonight where God will get a hold of your heart and pivot you and set your face like a flint at where he's leading you. And I believe tonight he wants to speak to our hearts.

Speaker 2: 3:39

If you'll go with me in the Bible to Psalm 34, I just want to read a few scriptures and then we're going to allow the Lord have his way. Psalm 34, starting with verse one. Psalm 34, starting with the first verse, and if you haven't and you don't mind, and you're able to stand with me just for a few moments for the reading of God's word, to stand with me just for a few moments for the reading of God's word. The Bible says I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord. The humble shall hear thereof and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. Let's read that again me from all my fears. Let's read that again. I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

Speaker 2: 4:52

Verse 15,. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them. That do evil to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry. Somebody say the righteous cry, and the Lord heareth and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them. That are of a broken heart and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the Lord, but somebody declare tonight but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Speaker 2: 5:34

Can you pray with me once again, all over this house, lord Jesus, we love you and we praise you. God, it's in you that we live, it's in you that we move, it's in you that we have our very being. Lord, and we've come into this house, god, to yoke our faith up together, to believe upon your word, to believe in your blood and your name. God, that you are greater, you are stronger, and you are bigger than every giant, you are bigger than every mountain. God, anything that we're facing right now, god, we've come together to draw strength, to know, lord, that it may be greater than us, but is not greater than you. For we declare this night. Greater is he that is within us than he that is within this world. Lord, speak, holy Ghost to us. God, I pray for peace and rest. Oh God, to fall upon us. Come, rest on us, lord, minister, deeply to the very need of our life. Tonight, god, as I minister, lord, I trust and know you will minister personally throughout this house and we're believing for breakthroughs, many breakthroughs, to come, for your glory. It's in the mighty name of Jesus we pray and everybody says amen and amen. Thank you for standing with me tonight for God's word.

Speaker 2: 6:55

Here we find that David opened up in the Psalms of chapter 34.

Speaker 2: 7:00

He said I will bless the Lord at all times. When he said all times. It's relevant to know that it's sometimes it's easy to praise him on the mountain, but when you're faced with that valley, that season of that valley of the shadow of death, sometimes it gets a little heavy, gets a little hard. Oh, sometimes you get a little weary. Walking through those valleys, times, the wilderness seasons of our life, if you will, those dry seasons that come to all of us. You see, many times the enemy will try to make you feel like you're on an island all by yourself, like you're the only one going through something. You're the only one ever feeling that way. But I recognize any times, any times I'm pressed and I feel the attack or the weight of something from the enemy, I realized a sister maybe close to me, maybe not is probably facing the very same thing. But many times we walk through this life like we're the only one. But many times we walk through this life like we're the only one. But it's in those times.

Speaker 2: 8:08

David said I'm gonna bless the Lord at all times, no matter if I'm in the valley, no matter if I'm on that mountain, I can declare that he's the God of my day and he's the God of my night. And it's in those times that I learn of him. He, he said learn of my yoke. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. The Lord said learn of me. Learn of me why? Because there's something about knowing the Lord.

Speaker 2: 8:36

And when you know the goodness and, as Sister Leanne shared, when you know his promise over your life, you won't be so susceptible to believe the lie of the enemy. But the enemy, he's slick, he's very sneaky, he'll come in and he won't even. He'll disguise himself and it'd be real easy to deny him when he looks like the devil, but he'll come in different forms. He'll come in forms that it sounds like you, it sounds like your own thoughts. He'll use things. We know we don't war against flesh and blood, but it seems like we fight against people when we know we're not fighting against people. We know we're warring against oh, not flesh and blood, but against the principalities and the powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world. We know that.

Speaker 2: 9:26

But when the enemy comes in like a flood, the enemy will wait till you're weak. He doesn't wait till you're up on that mountain, because he knows he can't talk you down from there, but he waits until you're going through a hard time. Or you're going through a hard time, or you're going through the trial of your life. You're walking through a wilderness season where you can't really feel God like you used to, and he'll be subtle and he'll try to get a foothold in. And then you see that it's in those times that you've got to trust in that promise. That word of God says when the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. That's where you and I know when I feel surrounded, I know that I'm surrounded by him. When I feel outnumbered, I know that the power and the promise of God, they are saying over my life yes, yes and amen and amen. And when I anchor my hope in that, I can say Lord, I trust you, despite what I see, despite what I feel, because our emotions will play games with you and I. We can't anchor our salvation in our emotion. We can't anchor our hope in our emotions, because our emotions will be a roller coaster on this journey of life. But what we can stand upon is that word of God. And the Bible says in Ephesians 6 and 10 oh, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Oh, because you've got to learn to stand. Having done all to stand, I love y'all. Steam, lace up your boots, I will follow Jesus.

Speaker 2: 11:22

I was thinking about, I was thinking about that. I was thinking about, as we're getting ready to go out the door, my daughters. They will sit down in the mud room on that bench and their daddy will be ready for them to load the vehicle and he'll say come on, come on, come on. But it takes a little time to put these girly shoes on. So they're sitting and they're struggling and they're trying to get that clasp and they're trying to get them on and he's there waiting for them to come out the door, but they can't leave without their shoes on. And the Lord? It's been some time ago before I ever knew y'all's theme.

Speaker 2: 12:03

The Lord began to deal with my heart for his bride that it's time to to shift from a position of getting ready. There's a big difference from getting ready and being ready. You know when that bride is getting ready for her day. Oh, she's gotta have everything in place before she's ready. And the Lord began to deal with my heart that it is high time for his bride to wake up and to be with her shoes on, her boots laced up and her awaiting that cry and that call that when they hear it, they are ready to go. Because we can't linger, we can't wait. But, god's people, I believe tonight, you and I, we've got an anticipation on our heart and our life that Jesus could come at any moment. And we say, oh God, let there be nothing that would hinder or stand in my way of being ready to meet him when he comes or when he calls my name.

Speaker 2: 13:13

And I thought how pivotal it is for us to lace up our bootstraps, for us to put on that whole armor of God, for us to be ready and waiting and to take our position, because the enemy doesn't want you to realize the purpose that is within you. And when you realize the purpose that is within you, you will recognize why the fight has been so, so hard. The battle is real, but how many can declare that God's will is greater? Oh, that fight has been fixed. Why? Because you have been created in the image of Christ. When the enemy came in that garden to come against Eve, he deceived her at the very fact of what she already had. If you would just do this, you will become this. When truth be told, she was already like God, because God said let us create man in my image. So who are you and I to think that we won't be tempted the same way? And really it brings light to the matter of why we fight the battles that we fight.

Speaker 2: 14:35

When Jesus was led in that wilderness by the Spirit, he went into that wilderness to fast and to pray. And the Bible says that the enemy came and tempted the Lord. And the very first temptation gives a lot of insight of why we fight what we do. The devil said if thou be the son of God, cast these stones into bread. And I love what Jesus said. He said it is is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word. Somebody say every word, every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. There's a place where the enemy came to Jesus.

Speaker 2: 15:20

But you know what Jesus was teaching you and I. It's that over every temptation that the enemy would throw at him, he showed you and I that he overcame it for us, so we can declare that we are an overcomer by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony. The enemy may have come to Adam and Eve in that garden that day, but when he came into that wilderness looking for jesus, he realized he didn't have power nor dominion. And when the children of god wake up to the reality of their purpose and the will of god on their life, he realizes too. Okay, I'm not dealing. I'm not dealing with the same person I dealt with in that old battle.

Speaker 2: 16:08

You know, we face battles and the enemy has a reoccurrence. It's like you overcome things and the enemy as it says that the enemy tempted Jesus and he overcame everyone. For you and I to know we can overcome it too. But the bible says that the devil departed from him for a season, and so I'm sorry to let you in on this and to just ruin this. You will never stop fighting the warfare from the enemy as long as you are following Christ. That battle he may leave you alone for a season. That battle he may leave you alone for a season, but he will always come back to see if you will give him just a little open opening of that door that he can get in.

Speaker 2: 16:55

Because when old battles, sometimes the enemy doesn't realize that you outgrow his devices, you outgrow the yokes that he tries to put on you. The anointing causes you to grow. That's why it's important to come to church, be with a body of believers, a body of believers and leaders that you would hear the word of God, why faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord, the anointing of God that comes in. It's important that you be around a group of believers that carry the anointing, why it's the anointing that destroys the yokes. But when you trust the Lord and you seek after him, there's a place that you find that you pray, you read his word and you seek his face. David said, lord, when you said, seek ye my face, my heart said, lord, thy face will I seek. There is a leading and there's a guiding and there's an unction that we get closer to the Lord than ever before. It's about relationship, and when you have a relationship with him, there are things that will begin to grow and bear fruit in your life.

Speaker 2: 18:12

And that devil that I might have put that battle on you last year, when he comes again this year, he'll he'll find real quickly. I'm not dealing with the same woman that I dealt with last year. That same same one that blew up their own balloons for that pity party. That same one that just bowed their head low and put up with the attack of the enemy. When he comes in and he sees you with your head lifted and you denouncing every lie and you saying I'm anointed for this. Get thee behind me, satan. I am made for more. Somebody ought to lift your hands and declare this night I'm not made to be a doormat for the enemy, but I'm made for more. I'm created for the conflict, I'm built for the battle and I am who God says I am.

Speaker 2: 19:03

Somebody needs to get up in their spirit and get their fight back and declare oh devil, you can't have my home. Somebody needs to declare devil, you can't have my children, you can't have my heart. Somebody needs to tell the enemy enemy, you can't have my mind. My mind is my mind and it belongs to the lord. You can't have my husband. You can't have my ministry, you can't have it. Somebody needs to lift the sound of heaven. There are walls coming down tonight because you lifted up your voice and you declared something in the atmosphere.

Speaker 2: 19:47

You know what Eve did in that garden she forfeited her authority. She forfeited her authority, but through you and I, what Christ did for us on the cross? What Christ did for us on that cross? He redeemed us, he brought us back. How many can say I shouldn't be here, I should be dead, I should be lost and undone, but for the grace and mercy of God, he picked me up, he turned me around and I can shout I'm free. Praise God. Somebody needs to shout I'm free, I'm free. Some of you.

Speaker 2: 20:27

The enemies talked you out of your authority. The enemies talked you out of promises. The enemies talked you out of a lot of things, but this night you're taking it back and you're saying my God, if God be for me, who can be against me? He's given you the power to tread over all scorpions and serpents in the name of the Lord. He's given you the power and the authority and it's through him that we can have power over all the wiles of the enemy. We know that the word of God says put on the whole armor of God, put it on. But what good is it to put on the armor if you forget to pray? The battle, oh so many battles are lost because we get real disoccupied in having everything in place when we got to know that sometimes you got to make up your mind, your mind. I'm gonna break through when I pray through.

Speaker 2: 21:31

When you find a place in that presence of almighty God and you go to war against the enemy, we know he's given us that sword of the spirit, which is that word of God. He's given us that shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of that wicked one. And I'm here to let somebody know the pressure that you've been feeling. The enemy can't touch you. If he could touch you, he done destroyed you. The enemy can't touch you. The blood of Jesus, when the blood of Jesus is applied to your life, he can't cross that bloodline. But what you feel is just the blunt of the attack. When you put that shield of faith, when you have that shield of faith, what you're feeling is just the blunt of every dart that the enemy is throwing your way, because if he could get through, yes, he could destroy, but he can't, he can't get through. There's a hedge, there's a shield about you, and so the pressure that you feel is just the blunt of the attack.

Speaker 2: 22:43

And so when you realize sometimes in my own personal trials, my own personal battles, it's real hard to see past the conflict, it's real hard to see past the sickness, it's so hard to see past the pain, see past the thing. And so when the enemy comes in and he's attacking you, it's hard to realize that if, if I do what the word of God says, I'll get what the word of God says, and when you and I know what does the Bible say says therefore, submit thyself unto the Lord right, submit thyself wholly unto God, resist the devil, and he will flee. So when the blood of the attack is so hard and you don't feel like you can bear it so much, if you will just know that the Lord is strengthening you to resist the wall of the enemy. If you will submit and surrender to him and you will resist that thing, there is a point where the enemy can't take it anymore and he's got to go, hallelujah. So when you find the good fight of faith you've got to recognize they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Oh, the enemy may try to make you give in, but there's a strength that did not come from this world, but it's a strength from Almighty God. The world can't take it away and the devil sure can't take it either. There is a strength. The enemy doesn't renew strength. Like you and I renew strength. He wears out.

Speaker 2: 24:43

And there is a place that when you're fighting the the, the heat of the battle, you've got to know there has to come a point that when you stand on the word of God and you hold on to that word and you resist him, there does come a point. He's got to go, he has to go. But he tries to flood your mind with thoughts, flood your mind with lies, and why he tries to make you question why he tries to make you doubt. It's because if you knew the purpose that was inside of you, if you wake up to that reality, you're unstoppable until Jesus is done with you. You're unstoppable. We aren't done until God is done.

Speaker 2: 25:31

And when God has begun something in you, God doesn't quit on you like people quit on you. God will see you through, he will walk with you in the worst wilderness of your life. You'll see, he'll be the rose of Sharon, he'll be the lily in that valley and he'll be that water that sustains your soul. He'll be the very answer to keep you in that wilderness that you find yourself, the battles that come to you and I. It's because if you only recognize the anointing that's upon your life, you can look upon your life and say I see where the enemy tried to pick me off. Every time, I see where he tried to trip me up. I see where he tried to. He tried to, to, to steal, kill and destroy my family. He tried to steal and kill and destroy me. You can see it all over. But I can tell you this right now it's because the anointing on your life, you say, emily, I'm not anointed to do anything. I don't sing, I don't preach, I don't, I don't, I don't do anything in the church. Well, you don't have to, because when you are a child of God, christ is the anointed one. So when you have Christ living on the inside of you as a daughter of God, that makes you anointed, having the spirit of God, almighty, you're anointed. Somebody just declare that in this house. I'm anointed for this. I'm anointed for this. I've got something inside of me that is greater. I've got something inside of me. Oh, that's bigger than the mountain, bigger than the giant.

Speaker 2: 27:15

David found himself in a place, in a position where he was surrounded on all sides. The Bible says that when the Philistines heard that he was anointed king, that they came after him. When they heard that he was anointed, that, right there, lets us see why. That. That's all it's got to be. It's not about you and I tonight. It's about the one living inside of you and sometimes favor ain't fair. You'll walk through life in the favor of God and the blessing of God will be upon you.

Speaker 2: 27:51

But people won't go with you. There are some that you've got to recognize. Some people won't be for you, some people won't fight for you, but do it anyway, because when the favor of the Lord is upon you, you can stand in, knowing that I know in whom I have believed. Come on somebody. I know in whom I have believed and I know that he is able. Somebody shout. He's able, he's able to do exceedingly and abundantly, above all that I can ask and all that I can think, and even when I gotta stand all by myself, I'm still gonna declare that God is good, that God is good. If God has done something for you, I can rest assured. If it ain't finished and if it ain't good, then God ain't done. God is doing a work in this hour in you and I, because he's raising up a people.

Speaker 2: 28:48

There's still a remnant of people who know we can't do this on our own, we can't fight on our own. If we could, we would have already tried to get the job done. But when you and I realize and we surrender and yield to the power, we surrender and yield to the mind of Christ and yield to the power, we surrender and yield to the mind of Christ, we know that through the word of the Lord, when we do that, that he leads us and guides us and we can declare, not my will, but that will be done. And here David, the Philistines came against him and they came and surrounded him and the Bible said that they spread themselves in a valley called Rephaim. And when you translate Rephaim it means giants. So no doubt there was not one, not two, there was a bunch of giants that spread themselves. That I am on the end of that word makes it plural. There was a valley of giants that stood and set themselves against David. But can I tell you, David didn't go out in his might, knowing that he had already conquered Goliath, he had already went forth and he had already fought before. No, he went.

Speaker 2: 30:04

And the Bible says what did he do? The Bible says, and David inquired of the Lord, saying shall I go up to the Philistines, will thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, go up. Somebody say go up, for I will doubtless deliver. I will doubtless deliver.

Speaker 2: 30:31

Somebody needs to know tonight that the enemy will try to make you doubt what God has spoken over your life, try to make you doubt. The enemy wants you to feel forsaken, outcast and lost and alone. But the word of the Lord has come forth in this place to let you know when you feel surrounded by things that are greater than you never, never, never forget his word that says I will doubtless deliver you. It's a promise that we can hold on to. In the face of all adversity, adversity, in the face of trouble and sickness and doubt. We can stand on the word that says God delivers again. And here we find that, as David got a word from God, it's something, sister Leanne, when you get a word from God, when you can't see the answer and you're in the battle of your life and you don't know what to do, you don't know where to turn, and you're praying and you feel like the answer won't come, but there's a place where you can find and you receive a word from heaven. You wrap your arms around that word and you say, oh God, I don't know when, I don't know where, I don't know how, but I know you're faithful and I know you're true and I know you'll see me out of this.

Speaker 2: 31:53

So the Philistines came against them and David came to a place called Belparasm. When you translate Belparasm, it means Lord of the breakthroughs, breakthroughs, and there, that day, there was a great victory. The Bible says that the Lord broken forth upon their enemies before them as a breach of waters, and therefore he called the name of that place Belparasm the Lord of the breakthroughs. I want you to see that right there. God isn't just the God of the breakthrough, he's the God of your breakthroughs. That means, if God has ever given you a breakthrough. There are multiple things in our life tonight. Some of you stand in need of, tonight, multiple breakthroughs. Well, I'm here to declare over you that he's not the Lord of one, nor two, nor three, but great is his faithfulness. He is the Lord of the breakthroughs and he's ready to break through every hindrance that has stood in your way. There's a release in this house. There's a release that you be free to walk in peace and rest the weariness that comes to us in the times of the battle here.

Speaker 2: 33:17

No doubt David felt intimidated. He had to feel the intimidation of the giants around him, but he knew that God delivered once. He remembers that time when he went down to feed his brothers. He didn't go to fight Goliath, but he went to go feed his brothers. And there he found the very men of war hiding for their life in fear. And he's like why this, this, this giant is trying to defy our God? He said is there not a cause to fight for our God? And when he went out in battle, it wasn't because he had strengthened himself, but he remembered the faithfulness of God. That while he was tending his daddy's sheep, he said I know the Lord God that delivered me out of the paw of that bear. I know the Lord God that delivered me out of the paw of that lion, and this day will he not deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. He knew the confidence of God, he knew the promise, he knew the faithfulness, and this was in no way any different. But can I tell you, david knew enough about trusting God's instruction, enough to know that when he gave him victory, he named that place the Lord of the breakthroughs.

Speaker 2: 34:45

But the Bible says that the Philistines came again. They came again. And isn't that like the enemy? When you fight him and you get victory in one area and he goes, it seems like it's not much. If it's not one thing, it's another, and it seems like he comes in on another side. But can I tell you, david didn't go out in this battle the same way he fought the first battle, but he went, oh, and began to pray and ask for fresh instruction from the Lord.

Speaker 2: 35:22

That's sometimes where we get in trouble when we try to fight new battles the same old way. When we try to fight new battles thinking we got it this time, oh, god helped you overcome that one mountain, he helped you break through your enemy that one time and you think, okay, I got this. No, no, no. You've got to know that you've got to seek the face of the Lord because he may not have you fight that battle the same way you did the last.

Speaker 2: 35:49

And when David began to inquire of the Lord, the Lord said don't go up. That's opposite of what he said the first time. He said don't go up, no, no, no. But get a compass and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. And let it be that when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself, for then shall the Lord go out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him, and he smoked the Philistines from Jeba and to thou come to Gezar. He found that God didn't give the same word, but God had a fresh word. Somebody say fresh oil. There's fresh oil for a fresh anointing in this house.

Speaker 2: 36:49

Somebody needs to know tonight that you're anointed for the battle and that the way that God is instructing you, and don't don't think it's strange for the fiery trial that you may be walking through right now, but also don't think it's strange that you're not going to fight this thing maybe the same way that God gave you, maybe last time or in the last year. But God wants you to grow in knowing and to trust in him. Because that same yoke, when you put that yoke on an oxen to work in the field, as they do that farm animal, when they are smaller in nature and young, that yoke has to fit them. So it's much smaller, but as that animal, you know, a yoke is meant to drive and steer, a device to use, to control, to work on. But as you grow in the anointing it's the same parallel as that animal growing in the natural. So when that farmer has a grown oxen in that field, he's not going to go put that same old, young yoke. No, no, no, for that thing has outgrown that yoke.

Speaker 2: 38:08

And there are some of you. If you could only see yourself as God sees you, there are some of you in the anointing. You have grown. You have been faithful in God's word, you have been faithful in prayer and supplication and you have stood the combat of the enemy of why that weapon that is formed against you won't work. It's because of the anointing. We must have it. It's the anointing that destroys the yoke, but the anointing in you and I, in our lives, as we trust and learn of God, seek his face, the spirit of the Lord.

Speaker 2: 38:57

There's gifts in each one of you tonight. Stir it up. Stir up the gift of God that is within you. There are some gifts that have laid dormant because you felt inferior. You have felt the lie of the enemy try to intimidate. You try to sit back and not stand up and take what is rightfully yours. Maybe it's that he's trying to make you denounce and deny what has been yours all the time. But somebody needs to declare and stand up inside of yourself and say I'm anointed for this.

Speaker 2: 39:35

The anointing, I'm not who I used to be. The enemy that comes to you and tries to weigh you down and try to play the same old mind battles. He ain't gonna find the same one that he was able to make cry, oh. Somebody needs to let the enemy. Know you might have made me cry once, you might have made me cry twice, but I will not be denied of the promise of my God. I know he's the God of my breakthroughs and I know he's breaking through my enemies right now.

Speaker 2: 40:12

Can we stand all over the house? He's, he's the Lord of our breakthroughs and he's breaking through some walls tonight. He's breaking through some mindsets. There are some things tonight that that some of you, you are going to be able to to mark it on the calendar. You're going to be able to mark it on the calendar. You're going to be able to circle the date oh, friday, may 9th. You're going to be able to circle that day and say it was this night, on a Friday night, where God did this, did something so pivotal in my life that I am not the same. We could all, all over this house, remember the time he saved us, remember the time he baptized us in that sweet Holy Ghost and fire Some of you. Tonight you can look back and you can say I remember when. I want you to know as David named the place where God wrought a mighty miracle and he said this is the place where I am going to name. Oh, the Lord of my breakthroughs.

Speaker 2: 41:24

There are some breakthroughs happening in this house tonight. Some have already, but there's more. God's not done yet. Somebody just declare that it ain't over, it ain't over, god ain't done. Oh, can you just get the sister next to you by the hand, socorro? Oh, I feel a shift to pray. There's a spirit of intercession in here. Lord, god, jehovah, we thank you, god, that you are the Lord of our breakthroughs.

Speaker 2: 42:24

God, to set our feet upon a rock to stand, oh, david said. He pulled me up out of a horrible pit, he placed my feet on a solid foundation and he established my goings Tonight. Oh, god, fix our heart, fix our mind, fix our will and set our feet, god.

Lord, oh God, we're taking the sword of the Spirit and declaring, right now, lord, that you are greater, you are stronger, you are mighty to save. There is no stronghold greater than you. And right now, god, we declare as you told Peter you said Peter upon this rock I'll build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, but I'll give unto you the keys of the kingdom that whatsoever ye bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven. There is a breakthrough, god. We've come this night, lord, to bind the enemy, oh God, but we've come to loose your joy, loose your rest, loose your peace upon the minds.

Speaker 2: 43:56

Tonight, you may have walked in here weary and tired. Oh, you may have walked in here heavy laden, but I hear the word of the Lord saying come unto me, come, come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Oh, you might have walked in weary, but you're walking out peace. Oh, you might have walked in bound, but I declare you're walking out loosed. You might have walked in sick, but I declare you're walking now healed. Somebody, right now better receive that in the name of the Lord. Somebody cry yes, lord, yes, lord, yes, lord, oh, my mind is my mind. Oh, you can't have it, devil. Oh, for God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Oh, I declare love, I declare power and I declare a sound mind over this house tonight.
