THINGS ARE NOT HOW THEY APPEAR TO BE IN YOUR GOVERNMENTS
Date Teaching Given: November 21, 2023
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
No matter how the enemy wants you to feel, you have the right to say, "No!" because God wins.
Satan is a loser, and he loses every single time.
Don’t give in to the enemy. God won’t let you down.
God wants you to have courage and strength during times of darkness.
God is working behind the scenes. Don’t give up hope.
Do not give in. God will not let you down.
Trust in the Lord even when it’s hard, dark, or impossible, and all hope seems lost.
To trust Him, you need to know Him.
Steamrolling means to overwhelm, usually by a greatly superior force, to bring or advance by overwhelming force or pressure.
Freedom and liberty come from God, not man.
This is why man has no power or authority to take it from you.
It’s a promise to you from the Lord.
God wants freedom, liberty, and justice for all His Children, no matter where you live.
God is the God of Justice. (Isa. 30:18)
You are a child of God. (Ps. 82:6; Gal. 3:26-29)
Get in alignment with God’s Word- realize your freedom, liberty, and justice are now.
Who or what are you trusting? Do you believe the evil and the lies? Is the enemy more powerful than God? Do you believe in injustice more than what God says about justice? Do you believe what you see and feel? Or are you trusting God and His Word?
Justice is the foundation of His throne. (Ps. 89:14)
Proverbs 3:5-6
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord. Don’t rely on yourself.
Even when it looks like everything is upside down, don’t trust what you see more than you trust God.
Trust in the Lord. God is the God of the impossible.
The enemy wants to make you think your circumstances are impossible and that God can’t overcome those impossible situations.
Don’t believe Satan’s lies!
The Lord will never fail. (Josh. 21:45; Zeph. 3:5)
The Lord will not forsake you. (Deut. 31:6; Heb. 13:5)
God is El Shaddai – the God with Whom nothing is impossible.
In the darkness, when the enemy is trying to break you and bring hopelessness and despair, God is perfecting your faith in Him.
God will show you what is really going on, even beyond what you are able to perceive.
The enemy is always trying to deceive God’s children.
Satan is the father of lies.
God is truth.
Don’t take God out of the public sphere.
God is your victory and hope. God is justice.
When you take God out of the public sphere, you are left with only evil, death, deception, destruction, hopelessness, injustice, and the lies of the enemy.
Keep God in all things.
God is love, life, liberty, joy, truth, and justice. He doesn’t just have these things; He is these things.
You have to know Who He is and what He’ll do in order to trust Him.
God never leaves His children without hope and victory.
God is Jehovah Nissi– the Lord your banner; the Lord your victory.
If you give up on victory, you’re giving up on God.
God’s Word will stand forever. (Isa. 40:8)
Who are you relying on?
Include God in all things so He can work in your life.
Get to know Who He is so you know what He will do.
God is still Jehovah Rapha– the Lord your healer; the Lord your health.
The enemy wants you to believe you have no right to be healed.
But God wants you completely healed.
The enemy wants to deceive you with feelings and sickness; he wants you to trust in these things more than God.
But God’s report is health and life.
Speak life and blessing over yourself. Don’t claim any bad reports.
Psalm 112:7
Don’t put your trust in governments or man.
Trust and rely on God.
God always leads you to triumphant victory. (2 Cor. 2:14)
Who or what do you believe and trust?
The Israelites lost trust in God. Pharaoh made things so bad for the children of Israel that some of them lost hope that God would ever show up. But He did show up.
Do not fear because the Greater One lives in you. (1 John 4:4)
God is absolutely good, and God’s goodness destroys all evil.
Let God’s love, goodness, and truth shine through you.
You are supposed to be the salt and the light. (Matt. 5:13-16)
Now is the time to break out, break forth, and break through.
It’s time to trust the Lord that He will do what He says.
Invite God back into every area– the seven mountains of influence, your household, your life, your churches.
Let God lead your life.
God said there would be great celebrations throughout the nations.
Do you trust what He said?
Even in the book of Revelation, the enemy never controls the whole world; he only controls part of it.
The enemy never succeeds in his plans.
God will have His way, and He will make them pay.
When the thief is caught, he must repay sevenfold. (Prov. 6:31 KJV, NKJV, NIV)
This is the hour of power.
God brings the enemy’s plans to nothing. (Ps. 33:10)
Pharaoh wanted to bring the Israelites down to their knees. But instead, God brought them down. (Ex.)
God always has a plan and purpose.
God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. (Gen. 1:1; Deut. 10:14; Ps. 24:1, 115:15; Acts 17:24-26; 1 Cor. 10:26)
God is not dead; He is alive!
Hebrews 13:8
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Healing is still for today.
God still delivers.

Christ sweat blood because of the torment he was going through; He shed His blood for you. (Luke 22:44; Matt. 27-28 (entire chapters))
Receive your freedom.
Receive your healing.
Receive your peace.
Receive your sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7)
Do you receive what Christ did for you?
Christ was beaten for your healing and redemption from the curse (sickness, disease, pain, affliction). (Isa. 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24)
God always gives you the ability to do whatever He is asks you to do. (Zech. 4:6; Phil. 2:13, 4:13; Ex. 3:11-12, 4:10-12)
God wants you to trust Him despite your circumstances. He wants you to trust Him in all things.
He will give you the ability to trust Him.
God will not fail you. (Josh. 1:5, 21:45; Zeph. 3:5)
The enemy never wins. God wins!
Jesus already paid for your freedom and liberty. (Gal. 5:1)
Where God is, liberty and freedom are.
And He lives in you. (1 John 4:4)
Satan can’t take liberty and freedom from you.
Say, “I take my victory now. I take my freedom now: freedom in my mind and freedom from pain, sickness, and disease. Pain, sickness, and disease are not mine. They are part of the curse, and I have been redeemed from the curse. I am free in Jesus’ Name.”
Don’t claim bad reports by saying “I have” whatever the report says.
By Christ’s stripes you were healed. (Isa. 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24)
Satan is trying to steal your healing and all that rightfully belongs to you.
Fight the good fight of faith. (1 Tim. 6:12)

If God is for you, who can be against you? (Rom. 8:31)
If God is on your side, whom shall you fear? (Ps. 118:6)
Psalm 37:5
Trust in, lean on, rely on, and be confident in the Lord.
As you wait for the manifestation of your prayers, trust in and lean on the Lord.
As you wait, daily declare your manifestations.
Examples of declarations (Make it specific to your situation.):

“Thank You, Father God, these symptoms cannot stay in my body because by Jesus’ stripes I am healed.”
