Today was youth day and Jekalyn Carr preached the message.
Dentrell Foster gave a message for the teens and parents, the youth choir sang, poems were recited to give honor to Black History Month, and the dance team danced to several songs.
Jekalyn Carr had a short word for the youth:
There are things in store for the young people. Walk with God at an early age and look for an aspiration. Your future is in what you do now. Put the video games down and turn off the t.v.
She then went on to preach:
God's About to Interrupt the Natural Flow on Your Behalf
2 Kings 20:1 - 11
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 “Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the LORD came to him: 5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.’”
7 Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” They did so and applied it to the boil, and he recovered.
8 Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the temple of the LORD on the third day from now?”
9 Isaiah answered, “This is the LORD’s sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?”
10 “It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps,” said Hezekiah. “Rather, have it go back ten steps.”
11 Then the prophet Isaiah called on the LORD, and the LORD made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
God's word overrides everyone's word. Hezekiah was in need of a supernatural miracle.
3 “Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Hezekiah prayed to God. Prayer can reach the heavens when nothing else helps. God heard Hezekiah and said that he will heal him. Thank God for grace and mercy. Mercy will bless you even when you don't deserve it. Hezekiah asked for a sign that God has healed him. The shadow changed because the sun changed position. God interrupted teh natural flow and also moved back time:
8 Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the temple of the LORD on the third day from now?”
9 Isaiah answered, “This is the LORD’s sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?”
10 “It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps,” said Hezekiah. “Rather, have it go back ten steps.”
11 Then the prophet Isaiah called on the LORD, and the LORD made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
Daniel 6:16 -24
16Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
18Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
19Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
20And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
23Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
24And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den
Daniel was supposed to have died but God interrupted the natural flow.
Deuteronomy 8:4 (NIV)
4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
The children of Israel were in the wilderness for 40 years but their clothes were never worn.
Some of the things you went through had nothing to do with you but for others benefit. You are not dying this season. God will reverse some things. Tell the devil to back off and those things you are waiting on God for are on its way. Everything the enemy is trying to use to destroy you has been reversed.

The Bite is Going to Be Alright
Acts 28:1 - 5
1And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
When there is a call on your life don't think everything will be alright. You just need to continue to praise God every chance you get. Don't let the bite ruin your day.
1And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
They were enjoying the island after they came from a storm.
2And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
The barbarous people came and it appeared that they were being set up for a blessing. You may have come out from one storm to another. What God is getting ready to do, "No eyes have seen, nor ears have heard". ( 1 Cor 2:9)You will receive double for your trouble.
3And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Paul gathered a bundle of sticks. A viper then came. As soon as the man of God got busy the snake came out of no where. When you get your life together that is when the devil comes out. God will cover you. He is greater than any devil in the world. The devil is mad you stole his position. He will come to kill, steal and destroy but Jesus came so that you may have an abundant life (John 10:10).
The devil does not waste his time on nobodies. When God has hand selected you there is something special about you. You need to stir up your gifts (2 Timothy 1:6). Don't let the snake bite kill the Word or the what God has for you.
The viper came out of the heat and bit Paul on his hand. If you notice Paul's hands were bitten and not anywhere else on his body. God will bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy 2:7, Deuteronomy 14:29). Your work of your hands includes your place of employment. Walk in love no matter who bites you. Praise God no matter what happens. Promotion comes from above and not from you.
You may also ask why didn't the viper bite the others? What was designed only for you may kill someone else.You don't know what someone went through for the anointing they have on their life.
4And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
Paul experienced the bite of his life as well as you may have experienced the bite of your life. The people who were supposed to be on Paul's side said that he went though a because of what he used to be which was a murderer. Be careful of who is around you. You are a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Worry about yourself 1st. How can you see the wrong in others but not yourself? Jesus said to take the beam out of your own eye (Matt 7:5).
5And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Notice that Paul did not suffer any harm. The exact place where the attack to place is the same place it went back to. Satan is bound in chains of darkness until the day of judgment. The same trap the enemy used against you will be used against them.

It's Still All Good.
Romans 8:28 - 31
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
You may not understand why you have trouble but it works toether for the good. You will understand later on why trouble came. Think about Job. God gave the devil permission to the devil. The devil has to approach God to touch you.
Job 1: 6 - 12
6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Also refer to 1 Peter 4:12:
12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
Stop asking God why. It is working for your good. God will only allow trouble for so long. God will then let you dance in the devils face after the trouble is gone. Also refer to these verses.
Psalm 34:19
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Psalm 119:71
71It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
God will keep you in class until He sees a reflection of Him.
1. He has predestined you.
Jeremiah 1:5
5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations
Don't think you are insignificant. It does not matter whether or not you were born out of wedlock, God knows the numbers of hair on your head.
Predestined - God has a specific plan for you.
Jeremiah 29:11
11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Your map is already made. Just find it.
Jeremiah 6:16
16Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Ask God to help you to get on the path.
Numbers 23:19
19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
You can't worry about gossipping, back-biting, murmuring and complaining. The children of Israel were trapped because of their complaining. Instead of complaining praise Him! God will get the last word. You can'tworry about others and what they are doing. Birds of a feather flock together.
Pastor Brown wants to get you on a path with God, to get you from one level to the next. From sick to healed, from poverty to prosperity. If you hae had a set back it is all good.
Complaints will get you no where but confusion. When you praise Him God has to move.
2. Those He has predestined He has called
If we are calledby Him we need to act like it. You can't come to God any way & expect God to move for you. You have to be different. You have to do it even if you have to be the only one.
3. Those He calls He justifies
You are graced for this. Stop picking others' sin. Sweep around your own front door. Any given moment the grace of God can be lifted off of you. You are not better than anyone. Every man should examine himself. Whatever you did to get the blessing you have to continue to do it. God may strip it to show you it was Him who gave it to you and you had nothing to do with it.
4. He glorified you
He will light you up like a christmas tree. He will fix your family, money, ect.
Do not lose your praise. We are all coming out!

I Have a Date and I Can't be Late
Message was brought by First Lady Neshante Brown.
Isaiah 45:1-6
1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Israel is God's chosen nation but they were known to be stiff necked. God would deliver them out of situation, forget who God was and go back to their bad habits, God would deliver them again, and then the children of Israel forgot who God was and went back to their old ways and the cycle continued. During this time they had been captured by the Babylonians. How many of us have pledged our loyalty to God? We get ourselves into trouble, God delivers us and then we get relaxed and get into our mess again.
Isaiah had given a prophecy about their deliverance 150 years before it happened. There have been times we have been in a rotten place but the only thing we have to hold onto is God's word.
Cyrus was from humbled beginnings and was abandoned as a child. He became the Emperor of Persia and was a non-Israelite. He was chosen by God to help deliver Israel. Cyrus = unchurched. God will use anyone.
Just as God had a specific purpose for Cyrus He has something for us to do. God has anointed everyone to do something. Our purpose is to bring deliverance to someone else. We are all supposed to be witnesses. We care called to be delivers in our circles. Your pulpit is where you are everyday. Your pulpit can be your job, family, ect.
Benefits of being anointed:
1.God will hold your right hand. Authorities will bow to you. There is power in God holding us by
our hand. The wall in Babylon was so thick 6 chariots could ride atop of the wall.
Isaiah 45:1
1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to
subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before
him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
Isaiah 45:2
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in
pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3. He will go before you to make sure it is safe. He will make the crooked places straight (making the hilly places even with the low places). What are your mountains? This could be laziness, debt, defeat, racism, ect. God is tackling the mountains & making hem even so you can tackle territory with ease.
4. God will break down whatever he needs to break down so you what ever is holding you back will do so no longer.
5. Treasure in darkness. Babylonians had hidden treasures in the ground. Cyrus had access to them. You may be in a dark place but there are treasures in the darkness.
Isaiah 45:3
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret
places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am
the God of Israel.
There is a testimony in your test, a message in your mess, destiny in your distress and a point to the pain. You will live to testify.
God knew you before He formed you.(Jeremiah 1:5).
Cyrus testified about what God did:
Ezra 1:2
2Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the
kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem,
which is in Judah.
Your appointment is not with Joe Blow and you can not be late. Trouble comes when there is no focus on where you are going.
For the singles:
Guard your gates carefully. Your gates are your eyes, ears and whatever you are around. Don't light a fire that you can not put out. It's not about feelings. It's about your destiny. If you don't own it, who will?
To the fatherless:
You can feel like something is lacking. You could feel the same way if you are motherless and anything that makes you feel like you don't measure up. The enemy hangs this over your head to keep you down. You are not illegitimate.
God has to fund your purpose. The fund is whatever you lack: money, favor, ect.
Isaiah 45:1-6
1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before
him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2. The gates will be open and not shut. God wants us to have access to the unlimited, to the unconquered territory. Why? Because he has selected, hand chosen you. He will break the pieces the brass. God will do what He needs to do to bring you where you need to be. Unconquered territory = territory where no one has walked before. This could mean you were the 1st to go to college, 1st to not be in an abusive relationship, ect.
Isaiah 45:2
2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in
pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

There is a testimony in your test, a message in your mess, destiny in your distress and a point to the pain. You will live to testify.
God knew you before He formed you.(Jeremiah 1:5).
Cyrus testified about what God did:
Ezra 1:2
2Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the
kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem,
which is in Judah.
Your appointment is not with Joe Blow and you can not be late. Trouble comes when there is no focus on where you are going.
For the singles:
Guard your gates carefully. Your gates are your eyes, ears and whatever you are around. Don't light a fire that you can not put out. It's not about feelings. It's about your destiny. If you don't own it, who will?
To the fatherless:
You can feel like something is lacking. You could feel the same way if you are motherless and anything that makes you feel like you don't measure up. The enemy hangs this over your head to keep you down. You are not illegitimate.
God has to fund your purpose. The fund is whatever you lack: money, favor, ect.

Speaking Your Dream
Proverbs 18:21 KJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
1. Believe your dream.
2. Speak your dream.
A) There are you dream killers.
B) You have the power to change the atmosphere.
Are you killing your dreams or are you birthing your dreams?
Romans 10:8 KJV
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
You have to get the word in your heart on your tongue. Your dreams have to be cultivated.
1 Samuel 30:6 KJV
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
David encouraged himself in the lord. You must do the same by:
1. Not missing church
2. Not missing prayer time
3. Read your bible.
4. Love when you want to hate
John 15:7 KJV
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
You have to get His word in you and live it.
Joshua 1:8 KJV
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Read = marinate .
Meditate. = soaking in it.
When you have a situation arise you will automatically speak the word. We often have other people's opinions abiding in us.
If nothing is happening speak something to happen and stop speaking negativity.
Exodus 3:14 KJV
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
God is I am you are using his name in vain when you say I am sick, I am broke,I am depressed,I am crazy.
James 3:5-6 KJV
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
We've got to frame our future with the word, fruitful words. Is your tongue getting you out of hell or putting you in hell?
Joel 3:10 KJV
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Genesis 2:19 KJV
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Your situation is whatever you call it. What are you calling it? If you say to the mountains "move", it will (Mark 11:23).
You have live right for any of this to happen.
Joshua and Caleb were on assignment. People were scared and compared to themselves as grasshoppers. Joshua and Caleb said they have the strength of the Lord (Numbers 13). Caleb had another spirit. We are filled with the Holy Ghost in should have another spirit.
If it's God's will it is god's bill. You have to believe God will do something instead of hoping in begging Him. You have to praise God in the good times and bad times. He inhabits the praises of his people (Psalm 22:3). Praise gives God access to your situation. Lack of praise evicts God.
1 Samuel 30:6 KJV
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
David spoke prophetically over himself. Words are full of spirit and life.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

I'm Crazy About my Dreams
Joel 2:28-32 KJV
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
If you don't have a dream you are in trouble. Martin Luther King was a prophet and a man of God. When he was killed his dream did not die. There are people who want to see you fail.
You have to start dreaming that better is on the way in all areas of our lives. You have to believe what God has shown you is a reality. There has to be something in you that says you will make it and you are closer than before.
Praise God for the little you have until he brings greater. Be faithful over the small things.
5 characteristics of a dream:
1. Dreams have the audacity at times to be.
emotional.
Hold on to your dreams because it is all you got. If you let it go you will be in trouble. Your dream is driving you. Don't let it be a roller coaster ride. Believe it no matter what your situation looks like. If your eyes can see it your spirit can perceive it.
2. People will try to talk you out of your dreams.
The will try to do everything to turn on you and kill your dreams. Remember Joseph. He was still faithful to God even when he was in the pit. The devil comes to kill steal and destroy (John 10:10). Let the devil know he can't kill your dreams. Beware of the dream killers. Talk about your dreams and see how people will respond to you. You'll know if they are on your side or not. It's not a bad thing to kick people out of your life. You have something on your life. Learn how to tell your circle thank you don't you are not the same anymore And you are going in another direction. your dreams won't let you do certain things anymore. Parents: dont kill your kids dreams.
3. Sometimes your dreams can't be controlled.
Like in our actual dreams we can't move the way we want to. Sometimes you don't know what to do. You have to let go and let God. You can't figure out everything.
People are watching you and you don't realize it. Learn how to walk carefully. One phone call, text or email can change your life in an instant. Your dream is on the line in you should stay away from all appearance of evil. Lay aside every weight and sin (Hen 12:1). You can't take credit when you let go and let God.
4. Your dream will require crazy faith.
You have to believe God will do a miracle no matter what it looks like. Speak the Word and not negativity. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Face will move past your situation.
5. Your dream will talk to you.
It will tell you that you can't be in your pity party. Speak to your situation and no you won't be there forever.
What if Martin Luther King didn't have a dream? Your dream is so powerful a generation is connected to it. You'll touch many people with your dream. Your dream is not about you. If your dream is about you than it is an idea. Look back over your life and remember how God got you out before. If He did it before what makes you think you won't do it for you now?
Get as close to God as you can. You are here for a purpose. Kick out of the dream killers. If you can do it why do you need God?
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

God Crippled the Poverty Devil in January
Tonight Pastor Brown gave a prophetic word to LOGIC.
Ezekiel 30:20 KJV
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month , in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Last month God ended poverty. We are going to the next level. He (God) has broken the poverty spirit. He has broken Pharoah's arm. You are too anointed to be broke. There is money waiting for you.
1 John 4:4 KJV
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
God can take you supernaturally from one level to the next in a blink of an eye.
2 Chronicles 20:20 KJV
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Your money has gone to the next level. This is for everyone, young and old. The day of manifestation is here. The poor can not help the poor.
Poverty is not coming back.
Ezekiel 30:21 KJV
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
Nobody can break your arm but God and it can't be healed. You will be smiling and dancing not because of what God is going to do but because you received your miracle.
Ezekiel 30:22 KJV
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Poverty is a strong hold. You can serve God better with money.
3 John 1:2 KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
You will be healthy and wealthy. The devil was destroyed in January.
Sword = power. He will strip the power of the devil. God has power over the enemy and money. You will never be broke again.
