As the speaker of the message you just heard, I want to bring the heart of that morning to this page. This was a declaration for a new year — a new epoch — a prophetic call to rise, to speak, to forgive, and to step into the authority already given to us in Christ. I spoke from a place of urgency and love with how to: to confront unbelief, break chains of fear, refuse bitterness, and press into the destiny God has prepared for His remnant.
A New Year, a New Epoch: Rosh Hashanah and Dominion
We began by declaring that this is a brand new day and, even more, a brand new year — the first of Tishrei, the Jewish Rosh Hashanah. In the Jewish tradition we say, L'Shanah Tovah — may your name be inscribed in the book of life. That truth anchors everything: we are redeemed in Christ, our names are written, and His Spirit flows through us. This is not about our strength or our might, but about His Spirit moving in and through us.
Rosh Hashanah is also the day Jewish scholars associate with Joseph being released from prison and elevated to rulership. Today I declared that same trajectory for many of you: from pit to palace, from bondage to dominion. The chains are off. We are about to ride in Pharaoh’s chariot wearing the rings and the robes of authority. But God calls us to prepare our hearts — to align with Him — because judgment and refining seasons come to separate the righteous from the unrighteous.
Where Real Fear Comes From
Many of you wrestle with fear and doubt, and I was blunt: the source of much of our fear is unbelief — not the devil, but our own confession. When you say, “I’m too weak,” “I’m unqualified,” “I’m not eloquent enough,” you are effectively calling God a liar. The kingdom of God moves by faith, and faith is simply believing that what God said is true and acting on it.
“Anyone who says, ‘I’m too weak… I’m unqualified,’ is calling God a liar.”
Identity and Authority: Why Your Words Matter
For years I’ve been teaching that confession is foundational. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that death and life are in the power of the tongue. E. W. Kenyon wrote, “Confession builds the road over which faith carries its mighty cargo.” If your confession continually declares weakness, you train your spirit to live beneath the level of authority God has purposed for you.
Too many believers rehearse the phrase, “I am just a sinner saved by grace.” That sounds humble, but it is spiritually damaging when used as an identity statement. Paul addressed the churches as saints, the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are new creations. We are sons and daughters, adopted — not a spirit of bondage, but of adoption (Romans 8:15). Sons don’t beg; sons exercise authority.
Luke 10:19 says it plainly: “Behold, I give unto you power… over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” That power is present and delegated to you. But authority functions when it is believed, confessed, and acted upon. When your mouth denies your identity, you disarm what heaven has already delegated.
Replace the Lies with Truth
- Stop saying, “I’m just a sinner.” Instead declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.”
- Stop confessing weakness. Proclaim, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
- Stop rehearsing defeat. Proclaim, “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Practical Faith: Speak Until It Becomes Real
Faith requires a voice. If you cannot yet speak in public or feel silenced, start speaking in private. Speak to the faucet, the cup, the shower, to the silence. Train your vocal cords to declare life. I shared encouragement and testimonies of people who received healing and freedom as they began to speak and act on what God said.
That is how we retrain our spirit and our confession. Keep speaking scripture, declarations of your new identity, and watch the spiritual realm respond. It’s not about volume alone; it’s about alignment. But be honest: I get loud because I am passionate. You have that same authority; you just need to use it.
Breaking the Chains of Fear and the Power of Testimony
We celebrated testimonies of deliverance and healing. When someone’s mouth was opened after years of fear — or a voice became stronger after prayer — it proved this principle: the spoken word releases heaven into present circumstances. If you are holding back because you feel inadequate, understand: your inadequacy does not cancel God’s power. He uses the weak to shame the wise.
Forgiveness: The Freedom You Buy For Yourself
Then I spoke in depth about forgiveness — not as an abstract command, but as the practical key to your freedom. Forgiveness is not excusing what was done; it is breaking the chains of bitterness that keep you tied to the past. You forgive for your freedom, not for the offender's benefit.
I shared a personal account: a business built quickly and blown apart by embezzlement. I went from financial abundance to bankruptcy, losing house and car. Anger and bitterness consumed me. God spoke, “This bitterness is consuming you.” The instruction was simple and radical: forgive.
God told me to use a concordance and read every scripture on forgiveness. Then He told me to forgive — seventy times seven. I sat with a legal pad and wrote the offender’s name again and again. Four hundred and ninety confessions of forgiveness. At first my anger increased. By about the twentieth declaration something shifted. By the four hundred and ninetyth I experienced release. But God wasn’t finished: He told me to meet him and speak forgiveness face to face.
I did. The man erupted in expletives, left, and I returned home crying. But the Spirit of God said to me and to my wife: “You’ve done everything I asked. Leave the rest to me.” Then God told me to cut all physical ties — plaques, gifts, files — anything tying me to that season. Cut the cords. Don’t look back.
That is a template: forgiveness (confession), cut the ties, and then release the rest to God. Forgiveness does not always restore relationship or business — often it doesn’t — but it restores you. It removes the fuel that keeps the wound alive. I invited everyone: if you want your best year, begin by forgiving. The deeper the wound, the more work required, but freedom is possible and real.
The Price of Glory: Paying the Cost For Revival
We also spoke about the price of deeper glory. God calls some to seasons of concentrated devotion and travail. I referenced the story of John G. Lake — three sets of forty days, a season of nine months alone with God — and how that led to a supernatural outpouring that changed cities and nations. Revival often costs intense sacrifice: fasting, prayer, solitude, and persistent seeking until heaven answers.
If God is calling you to a great work, prepare to pay the raw currency of deep hunger. Lock yourself with God for seasons. Refuse to operate in your own imagination or giftedness alone. Keep your attention fixed on Him. This is the path to seeing heaven come down in power.
Prophetic Charge: Put Your Hand to the Plow
The Father’s voice for this season is simple: put your hand to the plow and don’t look back. Let go of the past — forgive, release, bless — and step into the new. Don’t let the residue of old confessions and bitterness keep you chained to a lesser life. God wants joyful, yielded workers for His kingdom. He’s calling a remnant who will not compromise but will invest their lives for kingdom purpose.
Practical Steps You Can Take Today
- Begin each morning with a 5–20 minute confession of identity: declare scriptures such as 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:15, Luke 10:19, Romans 8:37.
- Replace one habit of self-defeating speech. When you hear “I’m just a sinner,” correct it aloud: “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.”
- If bitterness is present, follow the practical exercise: list names, pray and write “I forgive [name]” repeatedly until the emotional sting subsides, and then, if necessary, deliver forgiveness face to face under prayer covering.
- Cut the physical ties that tempt you back into the wound: files, plaques, gifts that anchor memory in pain. Dispose of them and declare your freedom.
- Begin a season of focused seeking if you sense God’s call: commit to daily time alone with God, fasting if He leads, until you sense fresh direction and empowerment.
- Speak faith into daily life: declare healing, speak courage, command fear to leave. Train your vocal cords to align with what heaven says.
Conclusion — Choose Life, Choose Dominion
This year can be your greatest year or your worst — the difference will be the confession of your mouth and the posture of your heart. Choose to be free. Choose to believe God’s declarations over your life. Speak who you are in Christ. Forgive what needs to be forgiven. Pay the price of seeking His presence so that you can carry His glory into your family, your city, and your generation.
I bless you with courage to stop disarming heaven with your words. I bless you with hunger to spend time in God’s presence until He returns and says, “Now go.” The Father is looking for willing hearts — are you willing? Put your hand to the plow. Don’t look back. Walk in the authority Jesus purchased for you. You are not too weak. You are not unqualified. You are the righteousness of God in Christ, seated with Him in heavenly places. Now speak it and live it.
