Conclusion

I decree and declare that my eyes are open to see what God sees. I will not be moved by fear but by faith in the One who surrounds me with His power. The vision God has planted in my heart will grow, and it will come to pass. I see the fulfillment before it happens, and I will walk in it. No weapon formed against me will prosper. I will not lose hope, I will not quit, and I will not be blinded by the enemy’s lies. I choose to see the armies of the Lord, not the armies of the enemy. I believe the miracle is already in motion, and I will live to see it fulfilled. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
