Arise and Shine
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson
"This is the only time in history when I get to fight for God. This is the only part of my eternal story when I am actually in the battle. Once I die, I'll be in celebration mode in a glorified body in a whole different set of circumstances. But this is my limited window of opportunity, and I'm going to fight the good fight for all I'm worth." -Joni Eareckson Tada

The Stronger Man
"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger than him attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils." Luke 11: 21-22
When Jesus died he went down to hell and tore it up. He crushed Satan's head under his heel. It says he took his armor and divided his spoils. That means that Jesus took all the weapons from Satan and his army, they don't have weapons anymore! He looked at Fear and at Rejection and said "COME HERE!" and they each came and bowed down before Jesus and handed over their weapons. The only thing they have to fight you with is words!
House - People
Strong Man - Satan
Stronger Man - Jesus
Spoils - Weapons
When Jesus died he went down to hell and tore it up. He crushed Satan's head under his heel. It says he took his armor and divided his spoils. That means that Jesus took all the weapons from Satan and his army, they don't have weapons anymore! He looked at Fear and at Rejection and said "COME HERE!" and they each came and bowed down before Jesus and handed over their weapons. The only thing they have to fight you with is words!
"ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Mt28:18 The truth is that the only authority that demons have in your life is the authority that you give them. In Jesus you have all authority.
It's time to get violent.
You have all the authority you need.
Take your life back.

The Valley Of Bones...
God took Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones, He had Ezekiel walk around and take a look at them and He said to Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" So many things in the bible have symbolic meanings, what do the dry bones mean? Follow me for a second...
13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick...
15:13 ...A sick heart crushes the spirit
17:22 ...A crushed spirit dries up the bones
Hopelessness makes the heart sick which crushes the spirit which dries up the bones.
So the bones in the story represent lost hope, and God asks Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" ('Can this hope live?') Ezekiel basically says "I don't know" then God says to him "Speak into these bones and say 'Hear the word of the Lord, God says to you He will cause breath to enter you and you shall live!'" So Ezekiel spoke to the bones and said what God had told him to and guess what happened! Tendons and muscle and skin grew on the bones and they came alive! Standing before Ezekiel was a living army.
Prophesy to the places in your life where you've lost hope and watch them come alive.
