Against All Odds, God Is For You

Start your morning with a clear anchor: If God is for us, who can be against us. We move from quick greetings into wholehearted praise, and that shift sets the tone for everything that follows—stress loosens, fear shrinks, and perspective returns. Centered on Romans 8:31, we speak back to trials with truth and remind our hearts that alignment with God outweighs the noise of opposition.

Together, we explore how worship reframes reality, how declaring God’s sovereignty calms anxious forecasts, and how to evict the lies that try to colonize our minds. You’ll hear language for the battles you’re fighting: prayers to steady thoughts, replace dread with reverence, and fill your inner world with scripture and peace. We talk frankly about hidden agendas, slander, and the weight of responsibility, then refuse to surrender our joy to any of it. Instead, we lean on the Creator who holds orbits and outcomes, trusting that impossibility is not the final category.

We widen the circle with intercession—lifting grieving families, calling out names for healing, and asking the Holy Spirit to sweep through churches with fresh power. A vivid testimony of cancer reversed reframes what your situation could become, not as a guarantee but as a real possibility with a faithful God. Mentors are honored, the community is blessed, and you’re commissioned to walk strong today and through the weekend, keeping a simple rhythm of prayer that keeps your heart aligned and your courage bright.

If you needed a reminder that your story isn’t finished, consider this your nudge to believe again. Listen, share it with someone who needs strength, and tell us what promise you’re standing on. If this encouraged you, subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more people can find hope here.

Welcome And Scripture Focus

SPEAKER_00 1:02

Good morning. Welcome to the morning prayer. Today is Friday, uh, December 5th, 2025. And we're thankful to the Lord again for being here. Our scripture for this morning is Romans the eighth chapter and the thirty-first verse. The New International Version reads. What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Amen. Amen. And we're going to go before the Lord. If God be for us, who can be against us? Amen. That's a good question this morning. That's a good thing for us to consider. We're going to go before the Lord this morning and ask the Lord to help us to put our trials into perspective. Help us to put our persecution into perspective. Amen. Because if God be for us, then who can be against us? Alright, so let's begin by giving God praise. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We love to praise your name. We love to praise your name. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We love to praise your name. We love to magnify you. We love to lift you up because you are our God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You've been a hiding place, God. You've been a shelter, Lord. You've been a bridge over troubled water. God, you've been good. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And we'll tell the world of your goodness. Hallelujah. We declare your glory this morning. Anda Moshandeho. Oh the glory of the Lord. Oh the glory of the Lord. Fill the earth. Hallelujah. The earth is full of your glory. Oh holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy. Yegel Shannanasiya. We declare that the earth is filled with the glory of God. We declare that the earth is full of the presence of God. I am the Hosora Mandio. Oh God, hallelujah. Let your will be done here. Let your will be done. Anaba Bohoshia. Let your will be done here. Oh Manda Shio Do So Yanandeo Koshi Diondo. Oh God, let your will. Let your will be done here, God. In the name of Jesus. Oh good Father, we bless and magnify your name, God. Hallelujah. We exalt your name, Lord. Oh God, you're at the forefront of the prayer. Thanking you is at the forefront of prayer. Oh God, we give you thanks. There is thanksgiving here on this line this morning. You brought us from a mighty long way. Oh God, you've carried us, oh God. You've carried our burdens, oh God. You've carried us, Lord, through situations that we didn't know we could make it through. Oh God, and so we give you praise because it's only fitting. Oh God, because the reality is, is that we're breathing because of you. The reality is that we're in our right minds because of you. Ayaros, I am an ho. Oh God, the reality is, hallelujah, that everything that we have is because of you. Everything that we are is because of you. Without you, we'd be nothing. Ayo Koshata. And so God, we give you rightful praise this morning. Oh God, because rightfully praise belongs to you. Oh God, credit belongs to you. Oh God, your name is worth being mentioned here in the earth. Oh God, we thank you. I and the sea. Oh God, we thank you, Lord. We thank you, God. And we're asking you this morning, oh God, to begin, Lord, to evict stress out of our lives, God. In the name of Jesus. Oh God, the enemy comes to place the weight of the world on our shoulders. Oh God, the enemy comes, Lord. To Kaya Moshiah, to place, hallelujah, the weight of burden, the weight of trials on us, Lord. Oh God, but I thank you. I thank you because you oversee that thing and you never put more on us than we can bear. I thank you, Lord, because you're watchful and you don't allow the enemy to overtake us. I thank you, God, because yet in the midst of trials, you're there, God. You're there, God, and we thank you because you never leave us alone. Oh God, I pray this morning that fear be evicted, that stress be evicted from our lives today. In the name of Jesus. What shall we say to all of these things? What shall we say to these trials? What shall we make of it? Ah Nababoshaya. Ah, God, we won't speak defeat, God. Oh God, we won't speak that it's impossible. But what we shall say in response to these issues is that if God is for us, then who can be against us? What we say to financial difficulty is that if God is for us, then who can be against us? God, we thank you. Anabosha, what do we say, God? Oh Lord, in the midst, oh God, in the midst of persecution, we say to these things, if God is for us, then who can be against us? Oh Yanda Bashandio, Ananamaho. When they lie and scandalize our names, what we shall say to it is, if God is for us, then who can be against us? Oh God, we thank you for your word. Thank you for Romans 8 and 31. Thank you, God, because it reminds us, Lord, that you are yet the God, the God of all creation, that you are yet the God, the God of the angel armies. God, you are yet the God that hung the moon in the sky. You're yet the God that keeps our planet, oh God, in orbit, oh God. Oh God, you're yet the God under the Boshiah that made every one of the stars. You're yet the God that made every constellation. You're yet the God that made the tall trees, oh God. You're yet the God that made these creatures all over the earth, Lord. You're yet the God, Ayadabosha, oh God, oh Lord, that made man in your image. You're yet the God. Oh Yadabosha that performed the first surgery and reached your hand down and formed Eve out of clay. Oh God, you're yet that God. You're yet that God. And if this God, if this great God be for us, then who shall be against us? Who can be against us in the midst of having an almighty and all-powerful creator for a God who can be against us? Oh God, we thank you, Lord, because despite what things look like, they may look impossible. But God, before the earth was formed, that was impossible. Before man was made, that was impossible. Oh God, you make the impossible become a possibility. Oh God, you make those things to be what you need them to be. Oh, for the glorification of your name. Oh God, we thank you because you're gonna get the glory. You're gonna get the glory out of every lie, out of every scandal. You're gonna get the glory. You're gonna get the glory even out of our struggles, even out of our trials. Oh God, you're going to get the glory. Even from the tears that are shed from your children, you're gonna get the glory. Ayademo Shandabo. God, we thank you. We thank you, God. Oh God, what shall we say? What shall our response be? What shall our response be? Our response won't be the response of defeat. Oh God, but our response this morning is that if God is for us, Ayasha, if God is for us, then who can be against us? If God is for us, oh there is favor that is upon our lives. If God is for us, then our story is not being done, being written. Oh God, if God is for us, hallelujah, He will do whatever it takes. He'll move heaven and earth to provide for us. If God is for us, Ayashandabo, who can be against us, oh God, we thank you. We thank you that you've got your hand on us. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord, that you've got your hand on us. We thank you, God, that your watchful eye is on us. We thank you, God, that you hear every secret conversation and every secret room. God, we thank you, Lord, that you know the heart of man. Oh, God, you know the things that we don't even speak aloud. Oh, God, you know our very thoughts, God. Oh, God, and like you know our thoughts, you know the thoughts of our enemies. Oh God, you know the thoughts of our oppressors. Oh God, you know those thoughts, God. Oh God, you know the intentions of their hearts when they desire to do wrong. Oh God, you know, you know before they do it. Ashakatama Bohoshiah. Oh God, it's not a surprise to you. Ayamabohoshaka Bahia. Oh God, the corruption of the government is not a surprise to you. Oh God, but you're right there in those secret rooms, in those secret conversations. Ayah Bashaya, you're right there, knowing the intent of the heart that's evil. You're right there. And God, because you're not caught by surprise, Lord, we're not caught off guard. Oh God, we're not caught going without because you've already known about it, God, and you've already made a way out of it, God. Lord, we thank you. Oh, Shandabosia, because you're for us, God. You are for us. Oh, come on and say that this morning. Declare that God is for me. Ayada Boshaya. God is for me. I thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. I thank you. I thank you, Lord. Your word says that you prepare a table for us in the presence of our enemies. Oh God, we thank you, Lord, that you provide for us in front of those, in front of those that dislike us, in front of those that talk about us, in front of those that challenge if we know you. Ah, Shaka. Oh God, you prepare a table and you bless us right in front of them, God. Oh Lord, I thank you. I thank you, God. I thank you for how you continue, Lord, to keep us. How you continue to make a way for us. I thank you, God. I thank you, God. I thank you, God. I thank you, God. I thank you, God. Oh Lord, I thank you. Oh God, I speak your favor over these. I speak that they walk in favor today. I speak that they walk in the peace of God today. I speak that they walk in the joy of the Lord today. I speak that they walk in deliverance today. I speak that they walk in healing today. I speak it in the name of Jesus. Oh God, I speak a thing. I speak that thing, O God. And whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven. Oh God, we cancel the assignment of the enemy. We bind the devil now. We bind the plan of the devil. We bind the scheme of the devil. Atamalaboshaya, Egamelamondahoshia. Oh, we declare that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper. We declare that every lying tongue that raises against us shall be condemned. Oh God, we thank you. We thank you, Lord. Your blood prevail, Lord. Your blood prevail over our homes, O God, over our schools, Lord, over our jobs, God, over our churches, God. Yenanamanto Shandeo. Yenemeonto Shandae. Yemanando Shandeo. Oh God, your blood prevail, your blood prevail, your blood prevail, your blood prevail. And the boho, your blood prevail over our minds. Aya shyando, yeah shandeo. Oh, I thank you, God. I thank you, Lord. The enemy is busy and after our minds. Oh God, I am bo shandeo. Oh God, he knows that if he can get into our minds, if he can infiltrate our thoughts, he can erode our faith. Anna Bobo Shia. He knows that if he can get to our minds, then he has us right where he wants us. And so we come against the lies of the enemy that have been suggested to our minds. Anda Boho, Yamanda Hoshaya, Omanda Shanda Boho. Every lie of the enemy. We uproot it now in the name of Jesus. Ayamaboshaya. Every lie of the enemy die by fire this morning. In the name of Jesus. The blood of Jesus prevail over our minds. Our minds, God, our minds, God. Ayamaba. We take back our minds. We take back our minds. We take back our minds. Let our minds think holy things. Let our minds think righteous things. Let our minds think things of peace. Let our minds think upon the scriptures. Let our minds and the baboso and the bohosha be filled with scripture and faith. Be filled with the word of the Lord. Let our minds be full of you, God. And the bohoya basia, yenam, yenandoho, yenidioshandea. Oh God, cast the devil out of our minds, God. In the name of Jesus. And the bosha. And the babos. Yes, God. Yes, God. Give our minds to be whole today. Give our minds to be whole today. And give us to think on the good things, the good plans, the perfect will of God for our lives. In the name of Jesus, give us to dread nothing. Give us to fear nothing. Oh Shatabah. Give us to dread nothing. Give us to fear nothing, God. But you, God. Oh God, let you be what we fear. Give us the fear of the Lord, but all other fear be driven out in the name of Jesus. Andava Babochoshaya. God, we thank you for setting our minds straight. We thank you for giving us perspective, oh God, over our trials, over our situations. We thank you for giving us the perspective of Romans 8 and 31. Oh God, we will declare that if God is for us, who can be against us? I am Baba Bohoshabah. Oh God, we thank you. Because not only are you with us, God, oh God, you outnumber our adversary. Oh God, not only do you stand with us, oh God, but the heavenly host stand with us. The angels stand with us, God. We thank you, Lord. That we're not in this fight alone. But God, you're there with us. Oh God, I pray. I pray for every individual experiencing grief. I pray for the Bayman family today.

I pray, God, that you give us how to be supportive as a body. I pray that you'll give us how to be supportive, oh God, as a body. In the name Of Jesus. Oh God, how to carry, Lord, the heavy Lord, how to carry them until they come on out, God. Oh God, give us how to be supportive. In the name of Jesus. I pray for those that are sick, God, the sick and the shutdown, God. I pray that you'll heal. Oh God, I pray that you'll touch and deliver and heal Kamario, God. In the name of Jesus. Oh God. I'm the Oshandababa Bohoya. In the name of Jesus. God, touch Malika, God. Oh God, touch Elder Suttles, God. Oh Shatanabase. God, touch God. Touch Dr. Suttles this morning. Oh God, touch Lord. Evera O Shane. Oh God Mamana Shaya. Move by your Spirit, God. Move by your Spirit, God. Holy Spirit, have your way upon the bodies of your people, the physical being. Touch everything that hurts. Heal every area. Mend every bone. Touch every joint, God. Oh Yamamando Hoshaya. Regulate every system, God. Idababa. I am Nanando Rodobohoshandeo. God, I've seen where cancer is in one scan. And in the second scan, it's no longer there. Because you've been there. Oh God. Anaboshaya. God, I've seen. Where the doctor gave the scan and said, Hi Anaboshaya, take this medicine. But we can't take the cancer. You're going to die. But coming back for the next one, Anna Boshaya. The individual was healed. Anaboshaya. I've seen you do it, God. I've seen you. Shande Oboho. I've seen it, God. I pray, God, that you'll be that God. You're no respecter of persons. Be that God here this morning. Ayahaboshaya. God, I love you. God, I love you, God. Everything that we need is in you. Oh God, we bless your name and we magnify you this morning. There's no one beside you, God. Under Sokoboshia, God, as we're going into the weekend, I pray that we remember you in our prayer time. I pray that we still give you time on Saturday. That we still give you time on Sunday, God. I pray, God, that you'll allow us to be in a rhythm of giving you your time, God. Under the boshiah, that you may impart in us, that you may strengthen us. Oh God, to do your will even over the weekend. Oh God, I pray. I pray that you'll cover your people over the weekend. I pray, God, that every church that is called by the name of the Lord, oh God, that they go and they operate off of an unction, off of an unction of the Spirit. Oh God, Ambaboshaya. Before, God. Oh God, sweep through the churches, God. God, attend to the needs of your people. Clean up every house, God. Clean up every house of worship. Clean it up, God. And give us to be ready for the upcoming harvest, God. In the name of Jesus. Oh Father, God, I pray these things this morning. I pray these things. In Jesus' name. Thank God and amen. Hallelujah. We thank God. We thank God. We thank God. I endadosha. Ah, God, I thank God. Hallelujah. As I was praying, my mind began to go back onto a testimony. Hallelujah. Of a family member. Hallelujah. They had been given the diagnosis of esophageal cancer, cancer of the esophagus or the throat. Because it's such a small area. Hallelujah. The individual was having a hard time eating and they were having all kinds of issues. And so when they went to the doctor, the doctor identified it as cancer there. Hallelujah. It was showed clearly in the scans. Hallelujah. The doctor gave the individual medicine, gave them a prescription, a recurring prescription that would continue to fill itself for medication to try to slow it down. But they said we cannot operate because it's so such a sensitive area. And basically that it has to just sit there and continue to grow, and that they would have it, hallelujah, until, hallelujah, until the cancer won over their bodies. Amen. Hallelujah. And that person believed God. Hallelujah. Began to pray, called those that they know were prayer warriors. And how about when they went back for another scan for a checkup? That cancer was gone. The prescription was no longer needed. Hallelujah. So when I tell you that God can heal cancer, God can heal what they say is irreversible. God can he send the boshiah, he can heal it. Hallelujah. If we can have it, he can heal it. Hallelujah. There's other stories I know of. Hallelujah. I know of somebody being pronounced dead. Hallelujah. And after the prayer warriors come out, hallelujah, the individual has their vitals again. I've seen God do some things. Hallelujah. And as we walk with God, we must remember in times of peril, in times where we're feeling challenged, we must remember the greatness of our God. In the midst of our situations, we must declare Romans 8 and 31. If God is for me, if I have an assignment that I have not completed, if God is for me, if I am in his will, if I am a child of God, who can be against me? Who can stop God? Ooh, katanama Moshiach. Who can stop him? Hallelujah. The devil can't stop him. Hallelujah. He tried and it did not work. Hallelujah. He cannot be stopped. If God is on our side, if God is for us, who can be against us? Hallelujah. And so I'm not going to read a devotional today. Hallelujah. I believe that that was enough right there. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We thank God and we honor the Lord for our prayer warriors that are on the line. I thank God for Elder JC Suttles. I thank God for him. Hallelujah. The pastor of my early years. I thank God for Dr. Suttles. Hallelujah. I thank God, my first Bible teacher. Hallelujah. I thank God for them. They're on the line and they are supporting this morning. I thank God for them. And I thank God for each listener. I pray that God will touch you this morning in the area of your faith, that your faith will be increased to believe God and to walk strong. Hallelujah. To walk strong today, to walk strong throughout the weekend. Hallelujah. Because God is for you. Hallelujah. We thank God for Pastor Mark Bayman Jr., who is the visionary of Healing Word Ministries, where I am the first lady and the co-pastor of the ministry. Hallelujah. And we thank God for the Healing Word family. All right. God bless each and every one of you. I pray that you have a safe weekend. I pray that you get an awesome word on Sunday. And I pray that if God is delaying his coming, if he delays his coming, that we be back on Monday morning and be able to come together again. God bless you and heaven smile upon you.
