Beloved, if you are feeling broken as you read this today, know that I am thinking of you and I am praying for you. I speak Jesus over every hurt, trauma, situation or circumstance you are facing today.
I pray this word of encouragement the Lord gave to me for you will comfort your heart and bring breakthrough into any area of your life that needs it today.
The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name—in the heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm
Phillipians 2:10 (TPT)
Today, just before 10AM, I received a familiar phone call for these last couple of years. It was more bad news. Suicide had tried to strike in my family once again.
But that was just the beginning of the phone call. From there, the negative reports just continued to pour in. I felt anger rise up on the inside of me and my heart became increasingly heavy and hopeless.
I’ll be honest with you friends; heavy and hopeless are two words that I have become increasingly acquainted with over the course of these many months.
Each time there would be a break in bad news and ‘drama,’ I’d take a sigh of relief, only to see it return with a vengeance.
It appeared as though attacks were happening on every side: family, finances, health, marriage, mentally — you name it.
I’ve been exhausted, tired of having to fight all the time. It has often felt like the rollercoaster ride from Hell. Up and down, up and down, up and back down again. I’ve screamed but not because of excitement or fun, that’s for sure!
Can you relate? Have you been feeling the heaviness of stress, pressure, problems, and pain?
If that’s you, this word is for you.
Though you may feel alone and are reeling from the rejection, suffering, depression, and confusion, Jesus sees you. He hears you and He knows your pain well.
Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our pains. Yet we esteemed Him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:4 (TLV)
The beauty of following Jesus is that we do not serve a God who cannot understand what we are going through or have been through.
“For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 AMP)
He gently loves us back to life, giving us the grace and strength to overcome any attack, any weakness, any stronghold, or situation.
In fact, because of Jesus’ overwhelming love and compassion for you, He intercedes (prays) for us seated at the right hand of God. – Romans 8:34

I Speak Jesus Over You
After that phone call this morning, I had to be intentional about guarding my heart from the discouragement and despair attempting to suck me back into that black hole.
Instead of allowing my feelings to determine my faith, I began to pray in the Spirit and let my faith speak to my feelings.
As I did this, I heard the tune to a song. I looked up the lyrics and realized it is the song, “I Speak Jesus.”
In that moment, I strongly felt the nudge of Holy Spirit to come here and write this for you.
I believe this is the heart of Father God for you right now, in the middle of the mess you’re facing.
I hope you will take a few moments to listen and allow these words to wash comfort over your aching heart.
Lyrics:
I just want to speak the name of Jesus
Over every heart and every mind
‘Cause I know there is peace within your presence
I speak Jesus
I just want to speak the name of Jesus
Till every dark addiction starts to break
Declaring there is hope and there is freedom
I speak Jesus
‘Cause your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
I just want to speak the name of Jesus
Over fear and all anxiety
To every soul held captive by depression
I speak Jesus
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like the fire
Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus
Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus
Shout Jesus from the mountains
And Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
I just want to speak the name of Jesus
Over every heart and every mind
‘Cause I know there is peace within his presence
I speak Jesus
Learn the story behind the song here.
As I speak Jesus over you – I command all darkness to flee from your life. I command all that is not of God to line up with the Truth of what He says about you. I speak life that informs dead things in your life to breathe again, and healing that restores all that is broken.
- I speak Jesus over your finances and any area of lack and decree prosperity
- I speak Jesus over your struggling marriage and call forward restoration and love
- I speak Jesus over your kids for protection of their minds and lives
- I speak Jesus over that addiction and command it to break
- I speak Jesus to your mind and command it to be made whole in peace
- I speak Jesus to your heart and call it whole, happy, and blessed
- I speak Jesus to your family and call it healed and restored
- I speak Jesus to your health and say by His stripes, YOU ARE HEALED
- I speak Jesus to your business and call it blessed
- I speak Jesus over your home and call it a sanctuary of His goodness
- I speak Jesus over the Prodigal sons and daughters – calling them home
- I speak Jesus over our nations – calling them holy and righteous
- I speak Jesus over everyone who has not had a personal encounter with His love
- I speak Jesus over all chaos and command it to line up with His Divine order
I encourage you, friend, to speak the name of JESUS over any need you have right now. Even if all you can say is “JESUS!,” that’s enough!
He is the Lover of your Soul, The Way, The Truth, and The Life, The Counselor, The Healer, The WayMaker, Provider & Friend.
He won’t let you down like people do. Run to Him. He longs to fill you with His peace and His presence.
The longer we linger there in the safety of His arms, the more we realize how weak anything else is compared to His glorious power.
Most of all, because of His great love for you – He wants to see you whole, free, and blessed even more than you want it for yourself.

I echo what Grace Community Church says, “There is so much brokenness, hatred, addiction, and darkness in the world, but in the name of Jesus there is wholeness, love, freedom, and light.”
There is no darkness found in Christ. He is The Light. Where light is, there can be no darkness. His perfect love casts out all fear and His Glory uncovers all that is wrong so it can be made right.
All hope is not lost. You are not forgotten or abandoned. The Son will shine again. I speak Jesus over you and all that concerns you.
Amen.
If this message ministered to your heart, please share it with others who need encouragement too. Thank you! ❤️ And as always, I love hearing from you in the comments!
You Are Loved,
A beautiful word of encouragement at the beginning…
Amen!! May the Lord’s will be done! Thank You, Jesus! God bless you!
I stand in agreement with you, brother Ryan! God bless you and your loved ones as well! Thank you for stopping by! ❤️
Holly, This was so beautiful and straight from God’s heart! Thank you for sharing today and what a beautiful worship song, speaking Jesus over everyone. Blessings on you today ❤️
Aw Joy, thank you for your sweet words of encouragement! God bless you, sister. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. ❤️ I genuinely appreciate you!
I’m sorry you went through all these. Hugs. But He is always there to bear you all. And in it all, You are loved. ❤️ I pray for strength for you, ma’am. 🙏🏻
Dearest Mercy, thank you for your kind words and hugs! This is a hard time for so many in the body of Christ so I hoped to encourage everyone who might be going through similar situations in their own lives. ❤️ Sending you lots of love, sister. Thank you for your prayers!
Holly! Last week in our Key’s to Freedom study from Mercy Multiplied we studied Using Authority. It was all about the POWER we have as Christians and how to walk in our authority. This sis… this is how we do it. We have the authority to heal nations if we just believe and use that power to connect with God and let Him do His work through us. We allow our mind to get in the way but then when we operate in our wholeness…. WOW! I love this post. I am so thankful for you.
I am so thankful for you, Shell. More than you know! ❤️ I love how much power has been coming out of the Key’s to Freedom study. So much revelation. And you’re right; we fail to realize just how much authority we really do have. And when we are weak, and things seem impossible, God knows exactly what to do. His timing may be a bit hard for us to understand (it is for me!), but He is faithful, always.
I love what you said, “…let Him do His work through us.” That’s really what it’s all about. Yet, as you say, we get in our own way allll the time. We talk ourselves out of doing the very thing that God is gracing us to do, so that He can bless others through us, and in turn, bless us in the process. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the whirlwind of negative thinking, though! God help us!
Sending you so much love, my friend. I cherish you. Thank you for your thoughts!
It was such a good study! Sending you so much love and wonderful thoughts!
Holly, I am sorry to hear about your upsetting phone call. It sounds serious and I send healing thoughts to the person involved and those affected by the event – Including you!
What struck me more than anything as I read your post here was that you thought to help others who were having a difficult time, rather than only focusing on the “black hole” that you mentioned that you were susceptible to falling into. Your extended your heart to others even when you were feeling challenged emotionally.
Another thing that struck me was that your faith stood firm. That is beautiful!
You are truly an inspirational person, Holly. Please take time for yourself, dear friend. 💗
Christy! Wow, what touching words you’ve written here. Thank you! Difficult times, pain, stress, and all the darker moments of life are never fun, for anyone. I always feel like if God can use my pain to bless someone else – at least the hard moments count for something! So many are going through so much right now. We need encouragement!
And I’ll be honest – it is the grace of God that keeps my faith firm. It wavers at times when everything seems to be falling apart, but it helps to remember what the Lord has brought me through in the past. I shouldn’t even be alive, but God…. if He did it then, He can do it now! My hope is to encourage others with the same message of hope.
You are so dearly loved, my friend. Thank you for your heart, your friendship, and your compassion. You are a treasure! ❤️
Thank you for such a touching comment, Holly! I wish you and your loved ones a beautiful holiday season. You deserve so much goodness year-round, and I’m sending thoughts of peace and joy your way for the New Year and beyond. xxoo
First of all, I’m sending you huge hugs and sending up so many prayers for you!! It hurts so much when you think things are fine and then suddenly something else smacks you right in the face. I get it! And I don’t like it, either. (And I’m here for you if you need me!! I’m just an email away!)
Second – what a beautiful and powerful song!
Third – you have no idea how much I needed this! It’s been such a difficult time for me and your words and prayers are perfect timing!
Dearest Michelle, my heart is with you. My prayers are too. Holy Spirit laid something on my heart several months back concerning you and I have been interceding. Know that you are dearly loved and that God’s heart is for you, your marriage, and your family. He knows all of the hurt, confusion, and discord that you’ve faced. I trust He is coming through for you in a MIGHTY way in Jesus’ name! ❤️ Please know that my inbox is ALWAYS open to you. I am here to listen, encourage, and pray together whenever it’s needed. I mean that!
Thank you for your incredible words of love and support. I thank you for your friendship and for caring the way you do. You’re amazing.
Holly girl!!! This was so beautiful. I can relate, this has been my year unfortunately, so hard. But God has been with me all the way and has brought much healing to my heart.
Lifting you and your family up sweet friend. You truly are such a blessing and encouragement. You have a gift😇 Thank you for sharing, it blessed me and was much needed.
Oh, I love that song too! So good.
Prayer to the King by Highlands Worship is on repeat right now. Check it out.❤️🔥
Ahhh, sweetest Nicole. I love you sis! I am so deeply sorry that you have had to go through so much this year, but I am even more grateful that the Lord our God wrapped His mighty arms of love & strength around you and didn’t let you go. Going through the darkest times of our lives is never easy but it really is amazing how much Abba does in the dark. I trust the light of Christ is about to illuminate in your life just how far you’ve come, how much healing you’ve found, and the unveiling of God’s beautiful blessings saved up just for you after the storm! I trust that it will exceed any of your wildest imaginations! ❤️
Your words of encouragement have blessed me more than you know, dear friend. It leaves me speechless to hear your kind words about me. You’ve touched my heart in a profound way. Thank you sis!
I am going to listen to that song! Thank you for sharing it! ❤️ As always, I send you my love and many heartfelt hugs. My Inbox is always open if you should ever decide to reach out! 🤗
Girl! I’m so sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. I started replying way back and then got distracted 🙈
Hope you are doing well. Thank you again for your sweet encouraging and uplifting words. You are such a blessing. Looking forward to what God is going to do in both our lives this year sweet friend.
I would love to email. Have a great weekend! Love you, big hugs💗🤗
