Subduing Kingdom Through Faith - Part 3 by Pastor Philip Olubakin: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

God Declares the End from the Beginning

Isaiah 46:10 — Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand."

There is a counsel of God planned for your life. The report you have been waiting for — this is the month you are going to see it. There are things that should have been done in your life that are not yet done. You have the authority to call them forth.

Isaiah 41:21 — "Produce your cause," says the Lord. "Bring forth your strong reasons." Do you have a reason why you must carry your baby? Do you have a reason why you must be healthy? Do you have a reason why you must be married? Begin to produce it. Begin to declare it now.

Three Kinds of Faith for Subduing Kingdoms

We have been walking through the kinds of faith required to subdue kingdoms.

The first kind: confrontation of faith. Faith is for combat. Ephesians 6 — take the shield of faith with which you quench the fury darts of the enemy. Paul wrote to Timothy: fight the good fight of faith. He himself said: I have kept the faith, I have fought the war, I have finished my course.

The second kind: declarative faith. Jeremiah 5:14 — "Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people shall become wood." Whatever is standing as wood before you — stagnation, barrenness, sickness, bondage — the Word of God in your mouth is fire, and it will devour it.

Jeremiah said: "I didn't want to talk. I wanted to keep quiet." But the Word of God was like fire shut up in his bones. He could not take it anymore. The Word of God in your mouth is fire. You will not take that rubbish again.

This is declarative faith: you speak to mountains. You speak to barrenness. You speak to sickness. You do not merely ask God to remove them — you declare their end.

You Are Calling Forth the Undone

There are contracts that should have been released and have not been released. There are destinies that should have opened and have not yet opened. There are children that should have been born. The Bible says: I am calling them forth.
