Come Alive: A Plan For The Weary - Fortify Faith and Take Territorial Authority

Today I want to come to you with raw honesty and a frank, apostolic, prophetic, pastoral exhortation to those who are worn, weary, and wondering whether God's promises will ever arrive.

Introduction: Why I’m being vulnerable

I traveled into this morning carrying the fatigue of a difficult month. Outwardly everything looked active: meetings, deliverance, healings, testimonies of lives stirred. But inwardly I said to God, "I'm empty. I'm worn out. I've been pouring into everybody's garden and my own looks barren." That moment of honesty birthed this entire message. The Lord asked me to speak about the emptiness, the accusations, and the restoration that follows when we refuse to sell our promises.

Come Alive: The core invitation

"Come alive" is more than a warm greeting — it is the Lord's summons into the fullness of life He paid for. I reminded myself: "I've washed away your sins... I gave my life that you may have the fullness of your very own." There are seasons when we are breathing but not living. This is a call to move from mere existence to the abundant, noticed, fruit-bearing life Jesus intended.

The prophetic declaration: 5786 — "The Year of Holy Connection"

Promises are going before us; forerunners are rising. The Lord is fastening his covenant not only to us but to our children and generations to come. We should get ready to see sudden answers and long-awaited promises open up.

When I felt empty this morning, I also felt the echo of that declaration: God has not forgotten. Psalm 105 will be fulfilled. The season of butterflies, forerunners and transformation is here. But the word also carries an instruction: return to devotion, ignite your first love, and fasten back to the Lord.

From emptiness to action: How I turned back the lie

There are two voices: the enemy accusing and God reminding. I was feeling the accusations loud and clear — "You're stuck. You haven't seen your crop. Hope deferred again." The Lord told me to speak back. One of the most practical spiritual acts I took was to bind the spirits of unbelief and weariness and to speak faith aloud. Listen to this kind of declaration I released: "I bind the spirit of unbelief. I bind the spirit of doubt... I say to Satan, get lost, you're a liar, you're a punk." That language sounds strong because spiritual warfare is strong; the accuser is relentless. But God himself rebukes the accuser — and we are authorized to agree with God's rebuke. Zechariah 3

Practical spiritual steps I used
Confession of honest feeling: naming emptiness rather than burying it.
Proclamation: decree God's promises back into the atmosphere — "I decree a thing, and it is established."
Binding: exercise spiritual authority to bind unbelief and accusation.
Requesting increase: asking God for a double portion of faith so we can please Him and move in obedience.
Zechariah 3: the picture of restoration

I was led to Zechariah 3, where Joshua the high priest stood filthy in unclean clothes before the angel. The Lord rebuked the accuser and commanded Joshua's filthy garments to be removed and fresh clothes to be put on him. The angel said, "Take off his filthy clothes. Restore to him his dignity." And the Lord declared, "I've taken away your sins... I'm giving you all of these fine new clothes."

That passage became a literal picture for me and for you: God wants to remove shame, accusation, and the evidence of our battles — not to leave us wallowing in filth, but to clothe us in new dignity. The enemy accuses to demoralize, to make you feel unworthy. God's counter is, "I rebuke you, Satan, I refuse your accusations. My promises are yes and amen."

Restore dignity — Goshen, dignity centers and practical compassion

God gave a tangible vision about "Goshen" places: community hubs where people can live, work, learn, and even supply food. He showed me dignity centers — not merely food banks — but bath houses, saunas, barbers, places where homeless people can be cleaned, clothed, shaved, and treated with dignity. When dignity is restored, hope follows. When hope returns, lives begin to turn.

We described an apostolic training hub — a healing retreat and conference center where leaders will be trained to lead in spiritual authority. What I'm seeing is this connective picture: apostolic hubs that raise leaders, and dignity centers that restore the vulnerable. That’s how the Kingdom shows up practically in neighborhoods.

The sign: a double rainbow and the Vavenby connection

I want to tell you one short, remarkable story of confirmation: driving through Clearwater toward Vavenby, a double rainbow sprang up — and it had double bands of regal purple. It hovered like a hand of God hugging a mountain. It felt like a sign. Later, on that trip, Patricia asked me to call her sister Deborah about a piece of land. I almost resisted — I had miles to drive — but the Lord prodded me to stop. Long story short: that property is the exact kind of land described in the prophetic words we've been given for an apostolic training hub.

Deborah had carried taxes and tests on that acreage for years. The Lord had been telling her to keep it. When we met on the land, the Spirit came and I prophesied over it. The connection between our prophetic words and the land became unmistakable. God is knitting together people and places; don't scoff at small beginnings.

Anointed assertiveness: righteous indignation has a place

We had an incident on a call where something had accumulated and finally spilled over. I reacted with a holy indignation. Some criticized my response as "unrighteous anger." I’m still parsing what was human and what was Holy Spirit. But this is important: humility doesn't mean submitting to compromise. Forgiveness doesn't mean tolerating deception. There is a biblical, righteous indignation when the purity of the Spirit is mocked. The minute that compromise was addressed, the anointing broke through. He released healing power. People began to spontaneously decree and declare their authority. That wasn’t manufactured — it flowed out of a cleansed space.

Territorial power: you are assigned territory

The Lord spoke to us: you are a territorial power. This is practical. Each of you have localities — city blocks, neighborhoods, workplaces, families — where you have spiritual jurisdiction. He named city leaders, and I named people on the call to show this is personal. The instruction was clear: rise and stop the adversary from encroaching upon your borders. Use your mouth. Speak your rebuke. Your faith is the substance that backs your spoken word.

Don't be casual about spiritual warfare. You cannot wish the warfare away. You must exercise the authority God has given you. Winners fight. Fighters win. When you engage, heaven engages with you. When you stand passive, heaven stands back.

How to hold on and not sell your promises

Here are practical steps from my own life that I want to pass to you:

Do not sell the promise. Keep decreeing it. Speak it daily even when you don't see it.
Test your heart for unforgiveness. Deep wounds sometimes take repeated work to release. If a picture of an offender still stirs rage, deal with it.
Increase your intake of faith: ask God for more faith; then exercise it with declarations.
Bind unbelief and the accuser: name the lies and rebuke them in Jesus' name.
Create a practical plan: if God has called you to build or steward land, begin the steps now even if they seem small.
What to do right now: an action plan
Speak out loud: "Satan, you are rebuked. I refuse your accusations." Use the authority given to you.
Decree the promise God has given you. Repeat it until the atmosphere changes.
Fast and connect: return to first love. Rekindle devotion through simple, consistent loving acts toward Jesus.
Begin practical contribution: support Kingdom projects; give and mobilize resources toward Goshen vision and dignity centers.
Get involved: we meet every morning on Zoom at 7:45 AM PST — be part of the community that decrees together.
Conclusion: keep digging, keep speaking

If you are worn out, hear me: the Lord has not forgotten you. I said earlier, "Come alive." That command is for you today. The enemy will try to convince you the promise is delayed or dead. Stand against that with your mouth. Decree. Bind. Reclaim the dignity God wants you to wear. Expect suddenlies. Keep sowing, keep praying, and keep declaring the destiny God carved for you before the foundations of the earth.

I see prophetic momentum building: apostolic training hubs, dignity centers, and a movement of territorial believers who will reclaim cities. The work is not just for me or for our local remnant — it's for you. It's time to stop selling your promises and to start proclaiming them.

If you want to be practical about it, join us on our daily Zoom at 7:45 AM PST, connect with the recordings on Rumble, join our Telegram group, and read more on our blog at DecreeForCanada. We are building something that will serve communities, leaders, and the broken across this nation and beyond.

Let's finish together as I finished the message: bind the illegitimate authorities, push back the accuser, stand in your identity as God's chosen, and declare the promises that God has given you. When you do, heaven will back you up.
