In this episode, we explore “the voice of victory”—the power of declaring God’s promises over your life even when challenges feel overwhelming. Host Kylie Terradez shows how the story of David and Goliath teaches us that faith, paired with confident declarations, can overcome any obstacle.

Our words carry weight, and when aligned with God’s truth, they can manifest healing, deliverance, and victory. This episode encourages listeners to speak boldly, stand firm in faith, and trust that God’s will is for our well-being, no matter what circumstances we face.

🔑 Takeaways

• God’s will is for us to be well, regardless of our current situation.
• David’s life shows the importance of faith and a heart aligned with God, even in the midst of mistakes or adversity.
• The enemy’s voice, like Goliath’s, may try to intimidate us, but God’s truth prevails.
• Our words and declarations are powerful tools to manifest victory in life.

Welcome to Power Hour, where we believe it is God's will for you to be well.

I'm your host, Kylie Terradez, and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.

Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.

Let's get started.

Father God, I thank you that you're here with us today.

Lord, I thank you for that.

Technology is working to our advantage, that we have people in Asia, that we have people in Africa, that we have people in the Americas, that we have people in Europe.

All joining in today.

Lord, I thank you, thank you, thank you and bless them wherever they are.

I thank you, Lord, that your blessing and your protection encircles them.

Your favor surrounds them like a shield.

And I thank you, Lord, that you have something special for them today.

And Holy Spirit, we just ask that you give us ears to hear, a mind to understand, and the heart to receive everything you have for us, which is a lot.

In Jesus name, Amen.

All right, well, let's jump into this.

We're covering.

And the victory.

The voice of victory, Right?

The voice of victory.

And you know, this is.

This is something that I'm particularly excited about because when I talk about this, I always think of my favorite Bible personality.

I say that because we are going to meet these people someday, right?

And I've actually just been watching a series that my pastor recommended to me and, and I don't watch very much television or, you know, shows we don't have, like tv.

Like, we'd have to actually go and, like, stream something.

You know, we just, we don't have, like, regular tv.

But he and his family were really enjoying this show called the House of David.

And it's all about the story of.

Of David from the Bible.

And it's like, it's like a motion picture.

And it's just really, really well done and not like typical, very cheesy Christian acting.

Like, it's, it's really well done, like Hollywood produced and it's pretty biblically accurate, actually.

And we're just a few episodes in.

We haven't watched the whole series yet, but it's called the House of David and this got me really excited.

We've been binge watching it because, like, we're right involved in this now.

But if you want something to watch that's wholesome.

The House of David.

I'm only like four episodes in, but I'm totally enthralled by it.

It's really, really good.

And So I was.

I was thinking about that last night as well.

And just David's always been somebody in the Bible that's really inspired me just because I love an underdog story.

And, you know, David was the shepherd boy, you know, he was the youngest son of Jesse and, you know, just really overlooked until one day that Nathan the prophet came and anointed him, says, no, you're going to be the next king.

And at the time, Saul was already.

Was still on the throne, and the people did not know that God's anointing had been removed from him.

And that wasn't like a publicly announced thing.

And so for Nathan the prophet to go and anoint a king when there was already a king on the throne, there's a lot of people's lives at risk, you know, and back then it was.

It's a pretty bloodthirsty time and to come out the.

Really out of nowhere to David that was on the backside of the desert there and, you know, feeding, feeding, taking, caring for the sheep who looked like, so unlikely to be anointed to do anything.

Like completely overlooked even by his own family.

And yet God sees his heart.

He finds him exactly where he is.

He finds him exactly where he is, and he.

And he sends the prophet to go and anoint him, you know, and his life didn't change immediately, but it certainly did start the ball rolling.

And I just think that that alone is very inspiring to me that no matter where you are today, no matter what country you're in, no matter what kind of disadvantage you might find yourself in or feel that you're disadvantaged in some way, God knows exactly where you are.

He knows how to find you, and he knows how to get you where you need to be.

Don't look around at the outward circumstances.

Don't look at the.

At your.

Your maybe your appearance.

God doesn't look.

You know, we know this from the story in the life of David.

God does look at the appearance, but he looks at the heart.

And when.

When God looks, he finds.

And he sees us.

And he knows how to.

It doesn't matter how far away you are from civilization.

God knows how to connect you with the right people at the right time in the right place.

And you can't hide, right?

You can't hide from the Lord.

His anointing will find you no matter where you are.

Even if you feel like you're completely out of place, out of position, he'll find you.

And as long as your heart is with him, he has the ability and to move you where he needs you to be.

So the life of David is something that has always really inspired me.

And as we follow through his life, we'll find he was far from perfect.

He made lots of mistakes, some of them really terrible mistakes, but yet every single time he made a mistake, he was quick to repent, he was quick to turn it around.

His heart was always for the Lord, even though he didn't do things perfectly.

And because of that, he wasn't perfect.

He was a.

He was, was a flawed man.

But God, you know, and he wasn't even God's first choice.

Saul was God's first choice for that, for that king position, but he messed it up through his own rebellion.

But when God anointed David, there was no.

He was, he was not a B class king.

He was, he was the A class king that God had always wanted.

And he called him a man after his own heart.

Man, I just think that's so awesome that God could take the life of somebody pretty ordinary, pretty flawed, and even though they make mistakes, turn it around and make something amazing and his whole legacy lives on.

Even today that we're still making movies, still talking about him.

You know, the Jews are still living over under the Davidic covenant, right?

There's blessings that God put upon David's family and generations after him because of his righteousness, because of his walk with the Lord.

We're still reaping, even now, some of the benefits that God.

The covenant that God made with David, that's so powerful.

So that's the, that's one of the reasons why I just love.

I love David's boldness, I love his courage, I love his fearlessness.

I love his unrelenting faith in the just in the face of adversity.

That to me is very inspiring, Very inspiring.

So I want to show you something here, you know, because when I was a kid, you could be looking in your Bible.

You can go on over here and while you're finding it, I'll carry on talking.

But going over here to 1st Samuel 17, and we're going to read a little bit here of, of some of David's adversaries.

You know, when we were, when we were growing up, and maybe, maybe you had this too.

We were told not to talk back.

You know, that was disrespectful that, you know, you should, you should respect your elders and you should, you should, we should train our kid to respect our elders.

But to not talk back when something is wrong, to not talk back when something is coming against you or against the promises of God in your life.

That is not, Not a mindset that will serve you well when dealing with the enemy.

It might be polite in society, but it's not polite.

It's not.

It's not a mindset that serves as well when dealing with the enemy.

And circumstances and symptoms talk to us.

They do.

They talk to us.

And we should never, we should never allow them to have the final word.

Now, you may be experiencing symptoms in your body.

Maybe you're in pain in your body right now.

You have a symptom right now in that's going on in your body.

That's very evident to you.

But we cannot allow those symptoms, that enemy, that adverse adversary, to have the final word.

You think about how Jesus dealt with adversaries, how Jesus dealt with even natural circumstances that came against him.

I'm thinking about when Jesus was in the boat and the storm arose, right, with the disciples in it.

You know, the first thing he did is he.

He.

He told the storm what to do.

He spoke to the circumstances.

He spoke peace to the storm.

Peace, be still.

You know, if you study that out, that word peace is actually talking about, like, literally to stop it from speaking, he literally put a muzzle on the voice of that storm.

You know, the wind has a sound.

It has a voice.

And symptoms have a voice.

Any, any symptom, any circumstance that rises up against a promise of God that God's already told you you have, which is healing, by the way.

He's already told you he sent his word and healed you.

Then anything that comes up in your body that is contrary to that, that comes to challenge, that is always going to be from the enemy, because that's all the enemy does.

He comes with his voice of fear.

He comes with his voice of anxiety, depression.

He comes with a voice of intimidation.

He comes with a voice even of curiosity.

You know, he'll start you to get you questioning why, why, why, why.

He'll start you down that rabbit hole, that downward spiral.

And people get stuck in that feeling, like they have to know all of the answers to all of the whys they're ever going to have, or they can't walk in faith.

And you know, this is a problem because the enemy also uses that curiosity as a way to pull you into his trap and, and pull you away from the promises of God.

But he uses these different voices and they start to speak.

And sometimes the voice the enemy has sounds like jealousy.

Sometimes the voice the enemy has sounds like strife.

Sometimes the voice of the enemy sounds like fear.

Sometimes it's a doubt.

Sometimes it's an unworthiness.

Sometimes it's a physical symptom on the inside of our body.

Sometimes it sounds like a doctor's report, right?

Sometimes it sounds like there's not enough.

It sounds like lack, you know, Sometimes it sounds like covetousness.

These are all the voices that the enemy uses to really rub up and challenge the promises of God that he's already paid for us to have.

And learning to recognize the voice of the enemy.

Most people do not have a problem, actually.

They spend a lot of time listening to the enemy.

They're quite attuned to what he's saying.

Okay, you just twitch your television on for too long.

You'll hear the voice of the enemy quite clearly.

But they're usually quite attuned to the.

To the voice of negativity.

And it's almost like a tractor beam.

I remember when I was a kid, you know, some of the first time we ever stayed in a hotel.

And.

I watched this with our own children, actually.

We took our children to a hotel.

We took them traveling with us on some ministry adventures.

And.

And we didn't have, you know, we didn't have regular TV at home, so we just would add DVDs or before that, the cassette, the VHS cassette taped, you know.

But we didn't just have the TV on where they could, you know, watch all that stuff whenever it wasn't on demand.

And so when they got to the hotel and they turned the TV on, the TV was on, and it was just on in the background.

And they were like sitting on the edge of the bed, like three little.

Like, they would, like, it was like a tractor bin.

They were literally, like, sucked in.

They couldn't, like, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

And I remember talking them, asking them, like, we're about to go out.

Come.

We need to get our shoes on.

We need to get our things together.

And it's like they didn't even hear me.

Like, they had this glazed look as they just stared blankly into the screen.

And I literally had to take the remote control and turn that thing off.

And so all of a sudden they're like, oh, you're there.

You want something.

But, you know, if we.

If we.

And this is what the media does, is it plays into that curiosity.

It plays into that.

That need to have the why question, that thirst for knowledge and information.

And it plays on that and draws us in.

But ultimately the enemy manipulates that and uses it as a voice into our life to challenge the promises of God.

Now, not everything that's on TV is terrible.

I just gave you an example of a show that I just found out about that's actually really awesome and wholesome and builds me up in my faith.

The house of David, right, Is Bible based on.

So there are some good things on tv.

We have a program on tv, okay.

But you cannot just sit if you're in a battle, you cannot just sit and watch and consume hours and hours of media.

It's not going to help you receive healing in your body.

Now, you know, it's.

This isn't a time issue.

Whereas if we, you know, we pray more and read more and we, you know, we do go to church more that we qualify then healing, it doesn't work like that.

But your heart needs to be guided.

You know, for faith to arise on the inside of us, we need to hear the word of God.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

And if all we're doing is hearing fear and unbelief and that curiosity tractor being is pulling us into the information overload of the, of the media that we're consuming, you know, that's not going to build faith on the inside of you.

And our heart is not going to become a fertile ground to hear the voice of God over the voice of the enemy.

We're going to become very attuned, very used to listening to the voice of enemy rather, rather than.

Which is also the voice of fear and failure and defeat, rather than the voice of victory that only God can speak.

He has the voice of victory for you to tune into.

And it leads you to a path of healing.

It leads you to a path of restoration, of hope, of faith, of just encouragement of peace, right?

All of the good things.

But you can't get that from sitting in front of a TV screen absorbing the world's media.

You just can't do that.

So symptoms will try to talk to you.

My point being that symptoms will try to talk to you.

They have a voice like a giant has a voice.

Now maybe you found, maybe you found 1st Samuel 17 by now.

Okay, this is a story, you know, this is the famous Sunday school story that, you know, we used to dress up and act out, right?

This is David and Goliath.

Now, David, we spoke about David.

He was not, he was not really part of the, the battle scene.

You know, his brothers went.

He's.

He's the youngest of many brothers and you know, all of his brothers went out to fight in this battle here.

But David was not, you Know, he was the youngest, he was the sheep herder.

He was not invited.

Now just reading from verse one of the 1st Samuel 17, he says, now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle and were gathered.

And I.

Now listen, I don't know how to pronounce this, so I'm just going to say them confidently.

Soco, which belongs to Judah.

And they camped there.

And it talks about this.

It says, Saul and Israel's fighting men were gathered and they camp in the valley of Ela and drew up in battle in.

They made battle lines in order to meet the Philistines.

The Philistines were standing at the base of the mountain on one side and Israel's on the base of the mountain on the other side.

The valley of Ela was in between them.

Now then there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines.

Goliath was his name from Gath, and his height was six cubits and a span.

He had, you know, massive helmet, massive armory, you know, hands the size of the Japanese, size of a weaver's beam.

He says that the staff is spear, was a weaver's beam, and the iron spearhead weighed 600 shekels.

He had a shield bearer that was walking before him.

And he stood and he called out to the ranks of Israel.

And so he stood and the voice of the enemy started trash talking the children of Israel, it says.

He stood there and called out, why have you come out here?

To line up for battle, right?

Am I not the Philistine and you the servants of Saul?

Choose yourself a man and let him come down to me.

And if he is able to fight with me and to strike me down, then we will be your servants.

But if I prevail against him and strike him down, then you will be our servants and serve us.

And this is where he overstepped his mark.

He says the Philistine said, I defy the battle lines of Israel this day I defy you.

I'm coming against you.

Give me a man and let's fight together, you know.

Now this went on for quite some time and each time the battle lines were drawn and they'd send out their champion and Goliath would come out and he would shout these obscenities and different things and they would terrify all the troops, all the Israeli troops, because, you know, they were normal human sized people, not giants, right?

And so this was a problem.

But then one day, Jesse, David's dad, said to him, take some supplies, take the cheese.

He was the cheese bearer.

Take the cheese.

Which seemed pretty insignificant at the time.

Take the cheese to the front lines, give it to your brothers, take the supplies up there and you know, suss it out, find out what's going on, right?

So he did what he was commanded to do.

And he said when he came to the encampment, the army was going out to battle, I mean verse 20 and was going out to the battle line and they shouted a war cry and the Israel, and Israel and the Philistines ordered themselves in battle lines, army against army.

Now David left his things with the keeper of the equipment and ran to the battle line.

He ran to the battle line and he went and greeted his brothers.

And as he was speaking with them, the champion Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, was going up to the battle line of the Philistines and he spoke these same words and David heard them.

And I just think this is really significant.

That means that David had a firsthand account of the intimidation tactics, the voice of the enemy.

He didn't hear the voice of the enemy through somebody else translated by so and so said and so and so said.

No, he heard the voice of the enemy, Goliath, from his own mouth.

So all of that fear and intimidation that the, the children of Israel had been subjected to over the past few days, David now had the opportunity, he was facing it with a first hand account of this.

It says, and he spoke the same words and David heard them.

When all of Israel's fighting men saw the man, that's Goliath, they fled from him and were very afraid.

Now I just think this is really interesting because David heard exactly the same things, exactly the same words from the voice of the enemy that the, the, the, the army of Israel did.

Whereas they took the voice of the enemy and allowed that to get into their ears and turn into fear and it caused them to flee.

This is completely the opposite of what should happen in the ears of a believer.

James 4, 7 says, we submit to God, resist the enemy and he'll flee from us.

We don't, but so often we spend a lot more time listening to the words of the enemy and getting into fear and fleeing from him.

Completely backwards.

But look how David handled this, having heard the same things.

The men of Israel have seen this man who's come up, surely he has come up to defy Israel.

We had, he said he had.

And it'll be that man who kills him.

The king will enrich him with great riches and give him his daughters.

Give him his daughter, and this will make his father's house exempt from taxes in Israel.

So there was a whole lot at stake, stake here.

And David in verse 26, says, David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, what will be done for the man that kills his Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel?

For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

You see, in David's mind, the voice of God was stronger than the voice of the enemy.

It was just simply a majority vote.

He was so used to hearing the voice of God in his.

In his role as a shepherd, being out with the sheep, right?

He was able to just sit and listen to the voice of God.

He was so tuned into the voice of God that when the voice of the enemy came, he didn't move him.

Man, there's a whole lesson right there.

When the voice of God, the voice of victory is so clear in our ears that when the voice of the enemy comes, we won't be moved by him.

We won't be moved by him.

And he, you know, even though he'd heard it, says when the words which David was spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul and the king sent for him.

You know, he tried to dress him in armor that didn't fit.

Like that was never going to work.

David had to go and do this his own way.

So he picked.

He picked up the tools that he'd been using, the things that were in his hand, the slingshot that he was used to, that he was trained with to protect the sheep.

And you know, at the same time, he'd already seen victory.

He used the tools that had led him to victory in the past.

And he had a history with victory.

David had a history with victory.

This was not his.

His first rodeo, okay?

It says in.

In verse 37, David said, the Lord who delivered me out of the poor of the lion and the poor of the bear, he will deliver me at the hand of this Philistine.

He will.

His confidence, his victory was.

Was already part of his history.

He'd already seen God be faithful, he in the smaller wild animals that this, this giant was just in his mind, it was already done.

Why would God, who brought him through this far, let him down now?

He wouldn't, because victory was who he is.

And I just thought, this is so.

This is so fascinating to me.

David had never fought a giant before.

He'd fought a lion and he fought a bear.

But something about David realized that God was bigger than all of his enemies.

The Size of the enemy, the seriousness of the diagnosis, the extremities of the circumstances, it didn't move him.

It didn't matter that other people had been slayed before by this same giant.

It didn't matter that there was a whole army that were responding in fear.

It didn't matter to him.

The responses of the people around him didn't move him.

Their fear and their doubt and their questions didn't move him.

He stood and he heard the voice of the enemy.

But the voice of God was much louder in his ears.

And the vision of victory that he had was more real to him than the giant that was standing in front of him.

There is so much in there, so much in that we need to have the voice of victory, of the Lord in our ears so loud that it produces a vision of victory on the inside of us.

And you cannot get that by just sitting, absorbing everything that's going on in the world.

That voice leads to a vision, and it comes from knowing our Father and being tuned into him.

This is why we have to have our personal relationship with Jesus Christ to, to.

We have the ability.

We have the ability to hear him.

Sometimes I pray for people and they're so.

They, they're.

They're so bound up in everything that everyone else has said about their circumstance that they haven't even stopped to ask the Lord, what do you say about this circumstance?

What do you think?

What do you believe?

What's the outcome going to be?

They haven't really ever taken the time in the middle of the chaos to search and seek out the will and the.

And the word of God for them and let that form a victory on the inside of them because they're so busy just running around and responding.

They haven't taken a moment.

This is so important.

David had taken moment after moment after moment in the middle of that field with the sheep that when the adversaries came, it didn't matter how big they were or if no one had ever defeated them before.

God had already spoken to him.

He already knew what God had called him to do.

So powerful.

So when he runs at the giant, he actually says, the Philistines said to David, am I a dog that you would come at me with sticks?

Right?

I mean, he was, he was not impressed that out of this whole massive army of Israel, this little shepherd boy with a slingshot was who they put forward.

Right.

Who's kind of insulted, I think then the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

Isn't that just, just like that?

Right?

I Mean, just like what the.

The.

The enemy does.

You know, it says he cursed David by his gods.

Well, you know what his gods were, little G. They weren't the big G. So the enemy will always try to trash talk to you.

This is why we cannot be silent in the face of an enemy.

And David knew that very well.

You know, the enemy will spew lies and deceit and intimidation and fear and all of those tactics, but we cannot be quiet and listen to his voice.

We cannot allow the voice of the enemy to speak.

We have to contradict it.

Look at his.

He said David responds to him.

He responded to him.

And he says, you come at me with a sword and a spear and a shield, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

This day, the Lord will deliver you.

This day.

Oh, come on now.

Somebody needs to put in the comments.

This day, not next week, not next year, not coming to a life near you soon.

At some point, some hope, maybe some someday.

This day the Lord's delivered me.

This day the Lord has delivered me from cancer.

This day the Lord has delivered me from high blood pressure.

This day the Lord has delivered me from diabetes.

This day the Lord has delivered me from.

From.

From poverty you put in there.

This day the Lord has delivered me.

If David could say it, how much more can we say, knowing that now we have.

We have a Lord, a savior that is not in the grave, but has risen from the dead and defeated every plan of the purpose of the enemy.

This day the Lord has delivered me.

Not will delivered me.

The Lord has delivered me.

Thank you, Jesus.

That should make you praise the Lord.

This day we see a breakthrough.

Yes, and amen.

This day, this day belongs to.

To us, not to the enemy.

This day, the Lord's deliver you into my hands, and I will strike you down and cut off your head.

Now, I want you to see something.

David was not carrying a sword.

He was carrying a slingshot with some five smooth stones that he picked up from the riverbed in there.

Okay?

He wasn't carrying the sword, but he says, I'm going to cut off your head.

So what was he planning to do?

He was planning to take the.

The giant sword and use the giant sword to cut his own head off.

Think about that.

He had gone beyond just hitting him with a stone and seeing him fall to the ground.

He was actually going to make that thing, make sure that thing was dead once and for all.

And everybody saw it.

He says, I'm Going to cut your head off.

And I will give the corpses, I will give the corpses of the Philistine camp this day to the birds of the air and the beast of the earth, so that all of the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

And then all of this assembly will know that it is not by sword and spear that the Lord saves, for the battle belongs to the Lord.

And he will give you into, into our hands.

He's going to give you.

He declared victory in the face of adversity.

There is so much in that.

He declared victory in the face of adversity.

So next time you, you see a pain, you speak victory to it.

You declare your victory over it.

You declare it.

Next time you have to take a tablet, you pick up the pill bottle and say, your days are numbered.

I declare victory over you.

I declare a day where you, you are going to be obsolete, right?

You start speaking to those things.

You declare victory over the things that are coming against you.

Victory over the symptoms, victory over the evil reports, Victory over the, the circumstances.

You declare victory to it before you even see victory.

This is really, this is really, really important.

Now that we know the end of the story is that David did everything that he said.

Isn't that, you know, there's no, there's no consequence there.

He was able to accomplish everything that came out of his mouth.

You see, victory is released in your very words.

What comes out of your mouth carves the, the path of victory ahead of you.

You will be able to do everything that you say when you agree with the Lord, when the word of the Lord is in your mouth and the word of the Lord comes out of your mouth, the word of the Lord is fulfilled in your sights.

There's a difference there, you see.

You know, his voice was his greatest weapon.

Not the slingshot, not the sword that he took off Goliath.

His voice was his greatest weapon.

And he ran his mouth and he talked back, he smacked, talked the enemy just right back at him.

And he stood, spoke out exactly what's going to happen?

So I'm going to ask you today what is going to happen?

What is going to happen?

What do you, you declare?

You can put it in the comments.

What do you want to see happen?

Tell it not.

I want to see.

But what, what are you going to see?

Okay, what am I going to.

I'm going to see the swelling go down.

I'm going to see strength coming back into my body.

I'm going to see me walking again.

I'm going to see Me working again.

I'm going to see me with energy and life and vitality.

I. I'm going to see me with function and kidneys.

Right?

That's victory.

You start declaring the victories in your mouth.

Let it come out of your mouth so that it can manifest.

Amen.

Come on, this is important.

Your confession, man, I like this.

This.

This thought came to me, so I wrote in my notes.

It says, your confession is a declaration of your expectation, and your voice is the delivery system of manifestation.

I'm going to say that again.

Your confession is a declaration of your expectation.

It is spoken expectation, and your voice is the delivery system of manifestation.

If you knew that manifestation came to your body through your voice, guess what you'd be doing?

Using it a lot more.

Using it a lot more.

Declare those things, speak those things that be not as though they are.

What it says in Romans.

Speak those things, declare them, speak those things that be not as though they are.

Because as they come out of our mouth, there is a creative force that is attached to those.

You know, we can see this in the New Testament.

There's plenty of examples of this also in the New Testament.

The woman with the issue of blood, you know, she'd been sick for 12 years.

She'd been sick for 12 years.

Let's look this up in.

I want to see you.

To show you this.

In.

I'm going to look in Matthew, in Matthew 9.

Now, in verse 20, it says that she came and she'd suffered a flow of blood for 12 years and came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of the hem of his garment.

I'm reading the amplified classic.

For she kept saying to herself, she kept saying, now hear me now.

She kept on saying, she didn't having said.

She kept saying, this is so important.

Not just one time looking around, seeing, oh, no, maybe didn't work.

She kept saying, if I touch the hem of his garment, I shall be restored to health.

There was a tenacity in that woman that had heard about victory in Jesus, and she'd set that to now is my day of deliverance.

She'd set the expectation in her heart, and it kept coming out.

It kept coming out.

She kept saying.

She kept saying.

She kept saying.

And then, you know what?

When you really believe something, this emotion to your boat.

She reached out and grabbed a hold of the hem.

Jesus turned around and seeing, he said, take courage, duty.

Your faith has made you whole.

And at once, the woman was restored to health, man.

She was restored in multiple different ways.

And it happened because she kept saying, she heard.

She heard the testimony of Jesus.

She heard that it was possible.

She let faith stir up in her heart.

She got a vision of.

Of what that manifestation was going to look like.

And she determined how that manifestation was going to play out with her very voice.

She kept saying, I'm going to touch the hem.

I'm going to touch the hem and then I'll be healed.

I'm going to touch that hem and then I'm going to be healed.

What is your touch the hem moment?

She started a whole movement after this.

Right, but what is your touch the hem moment?

At what point are you going to reach out and say that promise of healing?

That's not just in the scripture, that's mine.

That belongs to me.

I'm taking back what the Devil's been stealing.

I'm declaring victory over failure.

I'm declaring life over death.

I'm declaring prosperity over scarcity.

I'm declaring abundance over lack.

I'm declaring freedom over bondage, peace over torment and anxiety, faith over fear.

Right?

What are you declaring?

Let it come out of your mouth.

Your voice is your most powerful weapon.

Get the word of God coming out of your mouth is the very thing that the.

That the devil will do everything he can to distract you from doing because he knows how powerful this is.

This is so powerful.

It was not a throwaway comment for her.

This was.

This wasn't a throwaway comment that magically just unlocked healing for her.

Now this was her testimony.

She declared her testimony before she had one.

Think about that.

Come on.

She declared her own testimony before she even had one.

What's your testimony?

What are you declaring?

What are you saying about your situation?

What are you saying about your body?

What are you saying about your future?

Because you can have what you will be prepared to say.

Really, really important.

Let's look at this in Revelations 12.

I hope you're getting something good from this today.

But Revelation 12, I'm going to jump on over here.

It says in Revelation, now, we often read just verse 11, but I want you to back up here a little bit into verse nine.

It says, the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent called the devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world, that's all he does.

He was cast down to earth and his angels were cast down with him.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come for the accuser of our brethren who accused them before us.

Our God day and night has Been cast down.

There's a lot in this.

Salvation, power and authority.

Three words that are mentioned that we have through Christ.

Okay?

Salvation.

That's talking about soteria or sozo.

That is your health, your deliverance, your salvation.

All are wrapped up in that one word now, the word power.

There we have power.

He says that word means strength, dunamis, miracle working power.

And we also have authority.

That word authority means exousia, that is the power to rule and reign.

And magistrate.

We have the right and the.

And the authority and the victory to speak right back to that enemy.

Because we.

We've already.

Our victory has already been secured in Christ Jesus.

Then verse 11, it goes on to say, they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they love not their lives unto the death.

Now that word overcame him, it means to literally conquer or to carry off the victory you have.

You are literally conquered and carrying off the victory through the blood of Jesus, through what he's his sacrifice did on the cross for you.

Sickness and disease.

You have victory over sickness and disease.

You have literally carried off sickness and disease into the distance because.

Because he had paid for you to be well, right?

It says that we are overcome by the blood of the word Lamb and the word of our testimony.

The.

The voice that comes out of our mouth is our victory, is our greatest weapon.

Let that.

Let that.

Let that victory cry come out.

This is literally a victory cry.

So, so important, you know?

I want to show you an example.

Even Jesus had to learn to speak the word.

Jesus had to learn to speak the word, right?

It had to come out of his mouth.

He couldn't just think it.

You can't just think yourself.

Well, this isn't mind over matter, right?

This is.

This is a.

This is a spiritual appropriation in.

In Matthew.

Look at this.

And we're going to look here in Matthew 4.

Now, this is the temptation of Jesus comes right after Jesus's baptism, where the Lord, his voice.

His voice came down from heaven.

Everyone heard the voice of the Lord came down from heaven after Jesus was baptized and said, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased.

You see, all of.

All of the demons heard the voice too.

All of the unbelievers, everyone heard the voice in the spirit realm and in the physical realm, they heard God speak.

This man is my beloved Son, in whom I'm well pleased.

He's my beloved Son.

Then Jesus was taken up in the Wilderness, right?

And tempted by the devil.

And he said he'd fasted 40 days and 40 nights, and he was hungry.

And the tempted came to him, said, if you are the Son of God, then turn these stones into bread.

Now, this is the very phrase that he just heard, come from heaven.

God had just said in the hearing of every single person, this is my beloved Son.

And here he is saying to the enemy, saying to Jesus, well, if you really are the Son of God, if you really are who God says you are, then prove it.

You know, we don't have to prove anything to the enemy.

Don't be drawn into useless conversations that draw you away from the word of God with all of the whys and all of the questions and the spirit of curiosity.

Don't be drawn into that now.

Well, if you were really healed, wouldn't you see it in your flesh?

Wouldn't this happen?

What about so and so?

They believed God and they died.

Don't be drawn into those useless conversations that the enemy uses to get you to question what he's already put on the inside of you.

He's already secured victory for you.

Don't talk to losers.

Don't answer losers.

Don't speak to the defeated.

Right?

God has put victory on the inside of you.

If the people around you cannot agree with that victory, then find some new people.

This is really important.

You need to.

You need to hear this.

So he answered.

Jesus spoke.

He didn't just think it.

He spoke, spoke it.

He said, it is written, man should not live by bread alone, but by every single word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

What he was saying to the enemy is, shut up.

It's already been spoken.

Shut up.

The voice of victory has already spoken to me.

The voice of God has already declared me.

I don't need.

I don't need to talk to you.

I live by the voice of God.

He's my voice of victory.

I live by the voice of God and the written word of God.

Not by your report, not by your questions, not by needing to give you an answer, not by needing to prove myself to anyone.

I live by every word that comes from heaven.

Man.

That is so powerful.

So powerful.

Then the devil took him up and took him to the holy city.

We tried a different tactic, right?

The highest point in the temple.

If you are the son of God, here he is again.

Because you know what?

Sometimes he just tries the same tricks more than once.

He says, well, maybe they'll get tired.

They'll.

They'll put the defenses down.

They'll give in, then throw yourself down.

For it is written and he actually starts to use the word.

He's like, okay, Jesus wants to use the word, I'm going to use the word.

You know, we at least need to know the word of God better than the devil.

He says, it is written, you should give his angels charge concerning you, and in their hands they shall lift you up lest any time you dash, at any time you dash your foot on a stone.

Jesus said to him, now it's already written, you should not tempt the Lord your God.

And I love this.

You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

You know what Jesus was saying to Satan?

I'm your Lord.

Yeah.

You should not tempt me.

He was talking about himself.

He's talking about himself in the first person.

You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

Who do you think you are, you uncircumcised philistine?

How dare you?

You know he was declaring himself Lord.

Remember, understand this.

Satan is a created being.

He's a fallen angel.

And therefore he is also subject to the word of God.

He.

This is why Jesus rebuked the enemy with the word of God.

Because by the.

Because angels have to respond.

They're hardwired to respond to the spoken word of God.

And even a fallen angel is still hardwired to respond to the.

To the.

To the voice of God's word when it is spoken out.

So if you want to rebuke your.

The enemy, Satan, the devil, the symptoms, right, all the symptoms come.

He's the author of those symptoms.

We have to use the voice of God, the voice of the word of God that God has put in our mouth that only we can speak.

Those symptoms have to listen to your voice when you speak the word of God, their voice activated.

He says Jesus said to him, it is written, you should not tempt the Lord your God.

Yeah, he was reminding him, one day you're gonna have to bow the knee to me.

And devil took him up onto a high mountain and showed him the kingdoms of the world and all their grandeur and said to him, all these things I will give to you if you will fall down and worship me.

Man, this is.

This is dumb.

Dumb as dumb can be.

Jesus said to him, get away from here, Satan.

For it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

Yeah, you're going to have to worship me.

You're going to have.

Don't.

Don't tempt me, your Lord.

And also you're going to have to worship Me think about that for a moment.

Jesus was reminding the enemy of his end.

He was going to have to leave him.

And the moment that Jesus responded with the word of God, look at what happens.

The devil left him and immediately the angels came and missed it to him.

The devil left him.

The devil cannot stand when we speak with our voice of victory.

He cannot stand when we speak the word of God out of our mouth.

He can't stand it.

He can't stand it.

His voice activated.

So when we speak the word he has to leave.

You know, if man speaks the word of God, he calls to himself, he calls unto.

When we speak the word of God, angels respond to the words that are coming out of our mouth.

We're literally invoking angel, angelic protection around us when we speak the word of God out of our mouth.

Angelic protection provision.

And we're repelling the kingdom of darkness all because the voice of victory, the voice of the word comes out of our mouth.

We rebuke the enemy, we, we attract angelic and divine protection so powerful it says immediately the devil left him.

You know, one of the things that marks Jesus ministry when he's on earth, he only ever speaks the word of the Lord.

And because he only ever speaks to the word of the Lord, the devil can't get his hooks in him.

He, you know, it's almost like he tried to grasp at him, but there was nothing that he could cling on to.

Because if we only speak the word of God out of our mouth, if we only declare the end from the beginning, if we only declare the victory that we have in Jesus, the enemy has no hooks on us to attach anything to us.

It's almost like we're going to slip through his fingers every time.

Look at this.

I'm going to leave you with the, the last a couple scriptures here I want you to see today.

And this, this, this is really important.

This is in John 14, John 14, verse 30 in the Amplified it says, oh, this is Jesus speaking.

I will not talk with you much more.

For the prince, the evil genius ruler of this world is coming.

And he has no claim on me.

He has no claim on me.

He has nothing in common with me.

There is nothing in me that belongs to him and he has no power over me.

You know, as Jesus is, so are we in this world.

And so if that was true for Jesus, is also true for us.

He says we the, the ruler of this world, right?

The evil genius of this world.

He has no claim in me, nothing common in me, nothing in me.

That belongs to him and no power over me.

All Jesus did was speak the word.

That's all he did.

He said, I only do what I see my Father doing.

I only say what I hear my Father saying.

He says in, in John 12, and there's several examples of this, but John 12, verse 49, he says, for I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father that sent me and gave me a command that I should say and what I should speak.

And I know that his command is everlasting life.

And therefore whatever I speak, just as the Father has told me, so I speak.

The reason that the enemy had no grasp, had no foothold on Jesus, had nothing in common with him, and no power over him, was because all he would do would speak the Word.

I want to encourage you today, brothers and sisters.

Get back to speaking the word.

Get back to speaking to that giant.

Get back to declaring your victory, that it is not something that's out there and that's coming soon.

No.

Today is the day of victory.

Today is the day of your breakthrough.

Today is the day of your freedom.

Today those symptoms leave.

Today those that financial restraint is broken.

Today that spirit of oppression leaves, that infirmity leaves your body.

Today freedom comes back to every joint in your body.

Freedom life comes back into every cell that has been diseased or decayed or removed.

Right now, in the name of Jesus, we take authority over every lie of the enemy and we say you must go right now.

Right now.

Here is the victory, Christ Jesus, thank you Lord, that you have secured the victory for us.

Thank you, Lord.

Right now we declare victory over every symptom, victory over every disease, sickness and disease leave.

Right now in the name of Jesus.

We exercise, in the name of Jesus our power and authority over you.

Flee.

Get out right now.

Right now.

Thank you, Lord.
