I Am Giving Life Back to What Died

Raising the Widow’s Son at Nain

Sep 11, 2025

Today’s Verse

“When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, ‘Don’t cry.’”

– Luke 7:13

Picture the scene: a widow walking behind the coffin of her only son. Grief was her new companion. The future she hoped for was being carried out of the city gates. But Jesus interrupted the funeral. His compassion stopped the procession, and His word reversed the verdict of death.

Bold One, this is your message: because the same Spirit is in you, you are not just a spectator at funerals of dreams and destinies. You are an interrupter. You carry authority to stand in front of what looks final and declare, “This will not end here.”

Maybe you’ve been walking behind something that feels finished like a business a relationship, or a vision for your life. The Spirit says: “Do not bury what I have breathed into. I am stopping the procession of grief and speaking life again. I am giving life back to what died. Where sorrow has marched you toward resignation, I am breaking in with resurrection. The sound of weeping is turning into the sound of awakening. What you thought you lost, I am placing back in your arms. You will not walk in permanent grief; you will walk in undeniable testimony.”

Bold Prophetic Declarations

Come into agreement with today's Word by declaring boldly;

I declare that every funeral procession in my life is being interrupted by the power of Jesus Christ. What looked final, what seemed buried, what appeared beyond hope is rising again.

Today, I speak resurrection over every dream, vision, and assignment that I thought was finished. The Spirit of the Living God in me declares: “This will not end here!” Grief will not be my portion, sorrow will not be my companion, and resignation will not write the final chapter of my story.

I decree that life is returning to what was lifeless, joy is breaking through where mourning dwelt, and hope is rising from the ashes of despair. I prophesy that the sound of weeping is turning into the sound of awakening in my life, my family, and my destiny. What I thought I lost, God is placing back in my arms, fully restored.

I declare I am not a spectator of death but a carrier of resurrection power, and everything assigned to me lives again. The same Spirit that stopped the funeral in Nain is alive in me, and today I decree: life wins, resurrection speaks, and testimony breaks forth! In Jesus' name, Amen!
