Have you ever heard a voice trying to convince you that God won't come through for you? Maybe you read other people's testimonies and that annoying voice told you that God can do those things for others but not you. Or you see something in the Bible that sparks a prayer point and as you fire your petition a voice interrupts with all the reasons why you don't qualify for the blessing you're seeking.
Next time you hear that voice, say two simple words - PROVE IT!
Yes, demand that the voice prove the doom and gloom it predicts. Then immediately start proving why you're going to trust the Lord by declaring His word. Remember God has proven Himself more than capable since the beginning of time. Think about the times that He got you out of trouble in an inexplicable way. How about that loved one who was going through a tough time but you saw the impact prayers had on their situation? Throw that as evidence of God's power and might.
That voice trying so hard to dissuade you is none other than the serpent who lied to Eve and got the rest of us in trouble. It is the devil speaking, trying to shut down any well of hope that could flow in your heart.
The devil wants you to focus on the things you see and feel in the physical instead of keeping your eyes on Jesus the way Jairus did. If he'd taken his gaze off the Savior, he would have buckled under the false bad report that his daughter was dead.
Like Jairus, tap into the testimonies you've heard about and declare that the God who did it for those people will do it for you too. Open your mouth and declare your Jericho Moments - what God has done for you before. And, fling wordstones - God's word - into the situation.
The devil will tell you that you're not worthy. However, the devil's native language is lies. You can't believe a word it says no matter how true it sounds. At the foundation of everything it says are deception and falsehood.
So, challenge satan to prove its lies and immediately establish your reasons for trusting God. Resist satan with the word of the Lord and send it packing. God can and will prove Himself over and over again. This is because He cannot lie and never will.

LAST 10 MINUTES
The Lord in His mercy has given us His word to act as the weapons to silence the enemy trying to douse our hope.
So in today's last 10 minutes, ask yourself what it is the devil wants to steal your faith on. We're going to pray and proclaim God's word boldly on the issue.
Our prayer is the following: God Almighty, thank You that I am not powerless when the devil attacks my mind and my life with lies. Thank You for arming me with Your word. Just as Jesus silenced the devil with Your word, so will I. Place Your word in my mouth just as You did for Moses. Today I decree and establish Your word here on earth as in heaven, IJN Amen.
Now, does the devil want you to think you will never be a success? Proclaim "I am the head and not the tail, according to God's word."
Does the devil want you to think you will always lack financially? Declare "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
Does the devil want you to believe healing is off-limits? Open your mouth and say "By Christ's strikes, I or (name a person) am/is healed."
What is the devil lying to you about? Today, we must proclaim God's truth on the issue and silence the devil. Write it out below. Even if you don't know the appropriate scripture, speak from a place of faith on the issue. Confess that Christ is Lord over it.
From M22 - Father I pray for my siblings. I bless you for continually pruning them for your glory. I pray that you will continue to cultivate the fruits of the spirits in their hearts and I pray that they will produce abundant harvest. I pray that you will strengthen their faith, guide and direct them all the days of their lives IJMN amen.

Lord, we call on You to once again speak a word for those who are waiting on You for their marital destiny. Lord, guide Your children into Your marital will and purpose for their lives. Father shield them from the counterfeits. I decree that every counterfeit will be blinded just as the Aramean army was blinded when they came looking to attack Prophet Elisha (2 Kings 6).
God, with a word, direct and position Your children for Your perfect will for them (Romans 12:2). That they will join with equally yoked and holy spouses, birth and raise godly offspring, and serve in the ministry of marriage for Your glory and by Your grace, IJMN, Amen.

Genesis 28:15 - I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you.
Dear God, there are Promises in Your word that Your children are holding on to. There are personal promises You have also made to individuals.
Father, the enemy wants Your beloved to doubt that such things can or will ever happen. However, Your word in Genesis 28:15 makes it clear that You will not leave Your people until You have fulfilled Your promises to them.
Reassure those who are waiting on You. Remind them that Your appointed time approaches. That You will do more than they could imagine. And Father, deal with all who would attempt to stand in the way of what You are doing for Your own, IJMN Amen.
