Too many people are living below their privileges. It's because their vision has been clouded by past mistakes, disappointments, or how they were raised. They don't feel like royalty. They don't think they could be successful and really accomplish what God has put in their hearts. But I believe today, as I'm speaking faith into you, something is happening on the inside.

You've been destined to live in victory, destined to overcome, destined to leave your mark on this generation.

There is nothing wrong with asking God to change a situation. But until it happens, you have to trust that where you are is where you should be.

Get your fire back.
