Confession of Faith
Every curse of “not qualified,” “not eligible,” “not suitable,” “not selected,” and “not approved” that has been spoken over my life by the enemy or by men, I break those curses today. I am qualified by the blood of Jesus. I am eligible by the grace of God. I am suitable by divine assignment. I am selected by the hand of the Almighty. And I am APPROVED by the decree of Heaven, in the name of Jesus.
Introduction
Let me give you three reasons why God sometimes allows delay and then let me show you why the delay for your case is ending today.
Reason number one: God is building your faith. You see, God is not just interested in giving you a document. He is interested in building a person. He knows that if He gives you the breakthrough before your faith is strong enough to carry it, the breakthrough itself will crush you. So He waits.
Not because He cannot do it, but because He is making sure you are ready for what He is about to do. Think of Abraham. God promised him a son. But He waited twenty-five years before He gave it. Why? Because God was not just preparing a baby. He was preparing a father.
He was preparing a man whose faith was so deep, so unshakeable, that he could place his own son on an altar and still believe that God would provide. That kind of faith does not come overnight. It comes through waiting.
Reason number two: God is dealing with the opposition. Remember what happened to Daniel. He prayed, and from the very first day, God heard his prayer and sent the answer. But the answer was blocked by a territorial spirit, the prince of Persia for twenty-one days. The delay was not God’s fault. It was the enemy’s resistance.
Some of you are in the same situation right now. Your approval has already been released from Heaven. But between Heaven’s decree and your physical document, there is a fight going on. Spirits of darkness are contesting your breakthrough. They are whispering into the ears of officers.
They are manipulating the system. They are creating errors, causing confusion, and engineering delays. But hear me today, just as God sent Michael the archangel to break through the resistance for Daniel, God is sending angelic reinforcement for your case right now.
Reason number three: God is setting up a testimony. There are some breakthroughs that only make sense when they come at the last minute. If God gave you the approval on the first day, you would say, “The system worked.” But when God gives you the approval after every natural door has closed, after every human effort has failed, after every logical possibility has been exhausted then you cannot give credit to the system.
You have to give credit to God. And that is what He wants. He wants a testimony that has His fingerprints all over it. But today, THE DELAY ENDS Now. Now here is the good news. Whatever the reason for your delay whether God was building your faith, whether the enemy was resisting your breakthrough, or whether God was setting up a testimony, I declare today that the purpose of the delay has been fulfilled.
Let me remind you of something about the God we serve. He is not only the God of process. He is the God of suddenly. When the children of Israel were trapped at the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army behind them, God did not say, “Let me set up a committee to discuss your options.”
He said, “Stretch out your rod.” And immediately, the sea parted. When Peter was in prison, chained between two soldiers, with the execution scheduled for the next morning, God did not send a letter through the postal service. He sent an angel. That night. And immediately, the chains fell off, the doors opened, and Peter walked out a free man.
When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, she did not have to fill out a form and wait for twelve weeks. The Bible says immediately, the fountain of her blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed. Our God is the God of immediately.
Jesus is saying to you today, stop just talking to God about the mountain. Start talking to the mountain about God. Open your mouth and say, “Mountain, my God is bigger than you. Mountain, you have no right to stand in my way. Mountain, the blood of Jesus has purchased my breakthrough. Mountain, MOVE!”
When you speak to your situation with the authority of faith, things begin to shift in the spirit realm. Angels begin to move. Demons begin to scatter. Doors begin to open. Files begin to move. Officers begin to pick up pens and sign. Systems begin to process. And what was delayed becomes immediate.
So today, we are not just going to pray quiet, polite prayers. We are going to speak to the mountain. We are going to command the situation. We are going to decree and declare. We are going to use the authority that Jesus gave us, the authority to bind, to loose, to open, to shut, to command, and to decree.And when we are done, the mountain will have no choice but to move.
Before the prayers, let me speak to one more person. There is someone hearing me today who is on the edge of giving up. You have prayed. You have fasted. You have declared. You have believed. And yet nothing works. And the thought has crossed your mind: “Maybe God is not going to do it.
Maybe it is not His will. Maybe I should just accept my situation and move on.”I want you to hear me very carefully.Giving up is not faith. Accepting defeat is not spiritual maturity. Surrendering to the enemy’s plan is not trusting God. The Bible says in Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
That verse is a promise but it has a condition. The promise is: you SHALL reap. The condition is: if you faint not. The harvest is guaranteed, but only for those who do not quit.So I am begging you today, do not quit. Not today. Not when you are this close. The enemy wants you to give up because he knows that the breakthrough is at the door.
He can see it coming even if you cannot. That is why the pressure is so intense right now. That is why the doubt is so loud. That is why the frustration is so heavy. The enemy is making his last stand because he knows that one more prayer, one more fast, one more declaration, one more act of faith and the wall comes down.
You are not far from your breakthrough. You are close. You are so close that the enemy is terrified. Do not give him the satisfaction of seeing you quit at the finish line. Pray one more prayer. Believe one more day. Stand one more hour.Your document is about to be approved.
In Mark chapter 11, vs 23, Jesus said something that most believers read but never really understand. He said, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
PRAY IT NOW
Prayers for Immediate Approval of My Documents
1. Father, I come before Your throne right now, and I present my case. You are the Judge of all the earth. I bring my documents before You; every application, every form, every request, every petition and I ask You to rule in my favour today, in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, I thank You because You heard my prayer from the very first day I prayed. Like Daniel, my words were heard in Heaven from day one. And today, I declare that the answer that was released from Your throne shall reach me without further delay, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every territorial spirit blocking the delivery of my breakthrough like every prince of Persia standing between Heaven’s answer and my physical documents, I command you to step aside now. The angel of the Lord is passing through. Make way for my approval, in the name of Jesus.
4. I take authority over the spirit of rejection that sits in the office where my documents are being reviewed. I unseat you now by fire. You shall not influence any decision about my case. I release the spirit of favour to take your place. Every officer who reads my file shall be moved to approve it, in the name of Jesus.
5. Every spirit of error that has introduced mistakes into my documents like wrong information, missing papers, technical problems, system errors, I command you to be corrected now. Divine accuracy shall replace every mistake. Nothing shall be out of place in my file, in the name of Jesus.
6. Spirit of diversion, hear the Word of the Lord, you shall not reroute my blessing. What has my name on it in Heaven shall not end up in someone else’s hands. I recall every diverted blessing, every stolen opportunity, and every hijacked approval back to me now, in the name of Jesus.
7. Every spirit of forgetfulness that is causing officers to forget my file, to overlook my case, and to skip my name, I bind you now. The Holy Spirit shall remind every person who needs to act on my documents. My file shall not be forgotten. My name shall not be skipped, in the name of Jesus.
8. Every spirit of corruption that is manipulating the process against me, every bribe paid to take my slot, every favour exchanged to push me out, every dirty deal done behind closed doors, I command the fire of God to expose and consume every corrupt arrangement made against me. My case shall be decided by God’s righteousness, not by man’s corruption, in the name of Jesus.
9. I speak to every officer, every clerk, every secretary, every director, every judge, and every authority figure who holds any power over my documents, the king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord. I decree that God turns your heart in my favour today. Approve my documents. Sign my papers. Stamp my file. Release my breakthrough, in the name of Jesus.
10. Father, send Your angels right now to the office where my documents sit. Let them stand beside the officer reviewing my case. Let them whisper into that officer’s spirit, “This one is favoured. Approve this one.” Let angelic ministry produce a supernatural outcome, in the name of Jesus.
11. Every delay that has been programmed into my documents by the powers of darkness; delay of weeks turning into months, months turning into years, I break your power today. I command supernatural speed. What should take months, let it happen in weeks. What should take weeks, let it happen in days. Acceleration is my portion, in the name of Jesus.
12. I decree a divine earthquake in every office where my file has been stuck. Just as the earthquake shook the Philippian jail and opened every door and broke every chain, let the earthquake of God’s power shake loose my documents from every place of captivity. Doors, open! Chains, break! Files, move! In the name of Jesus.
13. Every witchcraft altar where my name and my documents have been placed for destruction and denial, I send the fire of God to consume that altar now. Let the fire burn every sacrifice offered against me. Let the fire scatter every priest ministering against my case. My name is removed from your altar today, in the name of Jesus.
14. Every evil meeting whether in the spirit realm or in the natural where decisions have been made to deny my documents, to block my progress, or to frustrate my application, I scatter that meeting by the thunder of God. Every agreement made against me is cancelled. Every resolution passed against me is overturned, in the name of Jesus.
15. I pray the prayer of Nehemiah: Lord, give me favour in the sight of the person who holds the key to my approval. Just as You gave Nehemiah favour before King Artaxerxes, give me favour before every authority figure handling my case. Let them look at my file and say yes, in the name of Jesus.
16. Every curse of repeated rejection operating in my life where I apply and am denied, apply again and am denied again, try over and over and get the same result, I break that curse today by the blood of Jesus. This cycle of rejection ends now. The next answer I receive shall be YES, in the name of Jesus.
17. Every evil stamp of DENIED, REJECTED, REFUSED, DISQUALIFIED, and NOT ELIGIBLE that has been placed upon my documents in the spirit realm, I erase that stamp by the blood of Jesus and I replace it with the stamp of Heaven: APPROVED. ACCEPTED. GRANTED. FAVOURED. ENDORSED, in the name of Jesus.
18. Every ancestral curse that has followed my bloodline like a pattern of visa denial, job rejection, contract failure, and closed doors that has affected my parents, my grandparents, and my relatives, I break that curse over my life today. I am not my ancestors. I am a new creation in Christ. The old patterns die today, in the name of Jesus.
19. Father, I ask You to do what only You can do. Bypass the process if You need to. Skip the queue if You need to. Change the policy if You need to. Create a new rule if You need to. You are the God who makes a way where there is no way. Make a way for my documents, in the name of Jesus.
20. Every spirit of doubt that has been whispering to me, “It will never happen,” “Give up,” “Stop wasting your time”, I silence you today by the sword of the Spirit. It shall happen. I will not give up. My time is not wasted. My God is faithful, and what He has promised, He will perform, in the name of Jesus.
21. I stand on the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3, the vision is for an appointed time. Though it tarries, I will wait for it. It shall surely come. It shall not tarry forever. My appointed time for document approval has come, and I receive it now by faith, in the name of Jesus.
22. Every wall of Jericho standing between me and my approved document, every wall of bureaucracy, every wall of protocol, every wall of policy, every wall of human resistance, I have marched around you long enough. Today is my seventh day. This is my seventh round. I open my mouth and I shout and the walls come down! Fall flat, in the name of Jesus!
23. I decree that the spirit of Cyrus shall rest upon every gatekeeper handling my case. Just as God stirred the spirit of Cyrus to release the children of Israel and to authorise the rebuilding of the temple, let God stir the spirit of every person who has the power to release my documents. Let them be moved by a divine compulsion to say yes, in the name of Jesus.
24. Every Red Sea standing between me and my approved document, every impossible barrier, every obstacle, every situation that looks hopeless, I speak to you today: Part! Divide! Open up! The same God who parted the Red Sea for Moses is parting the waters for me. I am crossing over on dry ground, in the name of Jesus.
25. Father, I pray for supernatural connections. Bring the right person into my path at the right time. Someone who knows someone. Someone who can make a phone call. Someone who can put in a good word. Someone who can open a door that I cannot open by myself. Divine connections, come forth now, in the name of Jesus.
26. I speak to my documents wherever they are right now whether in a filing cabinet, in a computer system, on somebody’s desk, in a warehouse of applications, I speak life to you. You are not dead. You are alive. You shall move. You shall be processed. You shall be approved. Life of God, enter my documents now, in the name of Jesus.
27. Every night attack that comes in my dreams to steal my favour before an important day before an interview, before a submission, before a hearing, before a review, I cancel you. I bind every dream robber. I seal my night season with the blood of Jesus. I shall wake up full of favour, full of grace, full of anointing, in the name of Jesus.
28. I decree that the story of Esther is my story. Just as God gave Esther favour in the sight of the king above all the other women, I decree that God gives me favour above all other applicants, all other candidates, all other names on the list. I am singled out for divine preference, in the name of Jesus.
29. Every evil tongue that has spoken against my documents whether in prayer meetings of witchcraft, whether in gossip circles of jealous people, whether in family gatherings of envious relatives, I silence that tongue by the blood of Jesus. No word spoken against me shall prosper. Every tongue that rises against me in judgement, I condemn, in the name of Jesus.
30. Father, I release forgiveness. I forgive every person who has wronged me in this process, every rude officer, every unfair decision-maker, every corrupt gatekeeper. I let go of bitterness and anger, because I will not give the enemy a legal foothold in my life. My heart is clean. My spirit is free. And my case is clear before Heaven, in the name of Jesus.
31. I decree that no policy change, no new regulation, no revised requirement, and no system update shall be introduced to disqualify my application. Every law shall work in my favour. Every rule shall serve my approval. The system itself shall cooperate with the plan of God for my life, in the name of Jesus.
32. Every power using my photograph, my name, or my personal information for witchcraft rituals to block my documents, I disconnect myself from every evil manipulation. The blood of Jesus breaks every connection between my identity and any altar of darkness. My name belongs to God, not to any witch, in the name of Jesus.
33. Father, I pray for the spirit of excellence to rest upon my documents. Let my application stand out. Let my file be the one that catches the eye. Let the quality of my submission speak louder than any opposition. Let my documents preach favour before any human being has a chance to speak against them, in the name of Jesus.
34. Every strongman that has been assigned to sit upon my approval and prevent it from being released, I bind you today by the power of the Holy Ghost. I strip you of your armour. I spoil your goods. I unseat you from the throne of my breakthrough. My approval is released from your grip, in the name of Jesus.
35. I pray the prayer of Elijah on Mount Carmel. The God that answers by fire, let Him be God over my case. Let the fire of God fall upon every offering I have made, every prayer, every fast, every seed, every act of faith and let the fire consume every opposition, every doubt, and every delay. Answer by fire, O Lord, in the name of Jesus.
36. Every spirit of “not yet” and “wait a little longer” that is being used to keep me in perpetual suspension, I reject your timeline. God’s time is now. Heaven’s clock says now. The appointed time is now. I refuse to be kept in the waiting room of destiny when God has already opened the door of breakthrough, in the name of Jesus.
37. I decree that the favour of God upon my life is so heavy, so thick, so undeniable, that even my enemies shall be forced to help me. Even those who planned to deny me shall find their hands writing APPROVED. The favour of God overrides human intention, in the name of Jesus.
38. Father, I pray for every single person in the chain of my document approval from the receptionist who receives the file, to the clerk who enters the data, to the officer who reviews the case, to the director who signs the approval. Let every single hand that touches my file be a hand of favour. Let no enemy be found in the chain, in the name of Jesus.
39. Every spiritual embargo placed upon my documents where the powers of darkness have issued a decree saying, “This person shall not be approved”, I overrule that embargo by the decree of the Most High God. What God has approved, no principality can deny. What Heaven has released, no power can withhold, in the name of Jesus.
40. I decree a suddenly over my case. Not a gradual process. Not a slow unfolding. A suddenly. Just as God suddenly opened the prison for Peter, suddenly parted the Red Sea for Moses, suddenly brought water from the rock for Israel suddenly intervene in my case. Let the approval come suddenly, unexpectedly, and miraculously, in the name of Jesus.
41. Every power that has vowed that my documents shall never be approved as long as they live, I remind you today that the God I serve is the Lord of hosts. He is the Commander of angel armies. And He fights for me. Your vow is broken. Your resistance is futile. Your reign over my case is over, in the name of Jesus.
43. Father, I pray that the approval of my documents shall carry no evil attachment. No sickness shall follow my breakthrough. No tragedy shall accompany my open door. No loss shall be the price of my gain. The blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow. My approval comes clean, pure, and joy-filled, in the name of Jesus.
44. I seal every door of reversal after my documents are approved. No last-minute cancellation. No late review. No unexpected revocation. No sudden change of decision. Once it is approved, it stays approved. What God has sealed, no man shall unseal. My approval is permanent, irreversible, and final, in the name of Jesus.
45. I decree that my testimony shall be so powerful that when I share it, people will know that only God could have done it. My breakthrough shall not be explained by human logic. It shall be a miracle that points straight to the throne of God. My approval shall bring glory to His name, in the name of Jesus.
46. Father, I speak to my own spirit right now, be strong. Do not faint. Do not collapse under the weight of waiting. The Lord is faithful. What He promised, He will do. Though it tarries, it will come. My breakthrough is not cancelled, it is on its way. And it will arrive right on time, in the name of Jesus.
47. I thank You, Father, in advance. I praise You before the manifestation. I worship You before the evidence. I celebrate before the announcement. This is the sacrifice of faith, and I offer it to You now. I believe that my documents are approved, and I praise You as if I am already holding them in my hands, in the name of Jesus.
48. And now, Father, I seal these prayers with a final decree — IT IS DONE. The gavel has fallen in the courts of Heaven. The signature has been placed. The seal has been stamped. My document is approved. Not by the will of man. Not by the power of flesh. Not by the strength of any system. But by the eternal, unshakeable, all-conquering authority of the Lord God Almighty. What God has approved, no devil can deny. What Heaven has released, no earth can withhold. I receive my breakthrough NOW. I walk into my open door NOW. And I give God the glory NOW and FOREVER. In the mighty, matchless, and magnificent name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN!
CLOSING WORD
Beloved, I want you to know something as I close this sermon. Your waiting season is not a wasted season. God is doing something in you even as He is preparing something for you. He is building your faith. He is stretching your patience. He is deepening your dependence on Him.
And when the document finally lands in your hands, when you hold the physical proof of what God has done, you will look back at this season and you will understand why it took so long. It took so long because God was not just approving a document. He was building a testimony. And your testimony is almost ready.
So hold on. Pray one more prayer. Fast one more day. Believe one more hour. Declare one more time. Because your breakthrough is not around the corner — it is at the door. And the door is about to open.
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psalm 126:5–6).
You went out weeping. But you are coming back rejoicing.
You went out with a prayer. But you are coming back with an approval. You went out empty. But you are coming back full. Your document is approved, beloved. Go and receive it. To God be all the glory, the honour, and the praise, forever and ever. Amen!
