You can go to our YouTube channel, watch the messages anytime, follow us on social media. We want to keep you encouraged and inspired. But thanks for tuning in. Again, thanks for coming out today. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this lady. She was sitting on an airplane reading her Bible. The guy next to her said, you don't believe all that stuff in there, do you? She said, of course I do. It's the Bible. He said, well, what about that guy that got swallowed by the whale? She said, you mean Jonah? Yes, I believe that too.
He said, well, how could he possibly survive that long inside a well? She thought about it a moment, said, I don't know. When I get to heaven, I'll have to ask him. He said, sarcastically, what if he's not in heaven? She said, then you'll have to ask him. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Today, I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about your time to reign. We weren't created to go through life overcome by problems, struggling to make it, in mediocrity. God created us to reign, to be the victor, not the victim.
He's already lined up moments of favor where He's going to make things happen that you couldn't make happen. You didn't have the experience, but suddenly you're promoted. The medical report said you wouldn't get well, but somehow your health turned around. Your family has struggled for years, but suddenly you come into opportunity, promotion, overflow. That's God causing you to reign. You may have circumstances that look like they'll never change. It's easy to get discouraged, think I'll never get well. I'll never meet the right person. I'll never break this addiction. It's been too long. It may look permanent, but God is saying it's only temporary. You're about to reign over the addiction, reign over that depression.
The sickness looks like it's the end, but you're going to reign over the cancer, reign over the heart trouble. Even now, chains are being broken. Things that have held you back are coming down. New doors are about to open. Healing is flowing into you. I can see fear, depression, anxiety lifting off of you. This is a new day. Things that have been raining over you, the loneliness, the guilt, the bad breaks, there's about to be a turnaround. It's your time to reign. It's your time to be free. It's your time to step into abundance. The scripture says, God has crowned you with favor. That crown is symbolic. He could have said, I've given you favor. I put favor on you. That would have been good, but he used the word crown to let us know we're supposed to reign.
God didn't crown you to live defeated, burdened down by fear, addictions. You are crowned to defeat enemies. crowned to take your family to a new level, crowned to succeed, to excel, to leave your mark. Anything negative that's been reigning over you, dysfunction, insecurity, people trying to pull you down, there's about to be a shift, a change in authority. You're about to reign over what's been reigning over you. 2 Chronicles 23, there's the story of a young man named Joash. When he was a baby, his uncle, the king of Judah, was killed. One of the king's sons should have taken the throne, but the king's mother, Italia, decided she wanted to be the queen. She had all of her children and grandchildren killed.
That way, she wouldn't have any opposition.
