Declare Victory Prayer Call

Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
 
God’s direction will not always fit neatly within our understanding. In Proverbs 3:5–6, we are instructed to trust Him wholeheartedly rather than lean solely on our own reasoning. Surrender means allowing God to lead even when we cannot yet see how every detail will unfold.
 
Our journey through GREATER WORKS reminds us that greater surrender requires deeper trust. If God only led us where our experience could already explain everything, faith would rarely be necessary. Sometimes His direction stretches us beyond what is familiar so that our dependence shifts from what we know to Who we know.
 
May today’s declaration strengthen your trust in God’s leadership. You do not need the entire map before taking the next obedient step. Acknowledge Him, follow His direction, and trust that He sees the path you cannot yet see.

John 15:4–5 “Abide in me, and I in you… for without me ye can do nothing.”
 
Before Jesus speaks about fruitfulness, He speaks about abiding. In John 15:4–5, He makes the relationship clear: branches bear fruit by remaining connected to the vine. Greater works do not begin with greater activity; they begin with deeper dependence on Christ.
 
As we’ve been exploring GREATER WORKS, we’re discovering that God’s power calls for our participation. But our first response is not to rush into action. It is to remain in Christ—to listen, receive, trust, and allow His life to flow through ours.
 
May today’s declaration draw you into deeper fellowship with Jesus. Resist the pressure to produce what only abiding can bear. Before you ask what you should accomplish today, ask how closely you are remaining connected to the One from whom every fruitful work flows.

Ephesians 3:16–20 “That he would grant you… to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man… Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
 
God strengthens us from the inside out. In Ephesians 3:16–20, Paul prays that believers would be strengthened by the Spirit in the inner person and then declares that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond what we ask or imagine, according to the power working within us.
 
This week, GREATER WORKS has brought our attention inward. God works in us, renews our thinking, transforms our character, prunes what hinders us, and strengthens us by His Spirit. The greater work within is preparation for the greater work ahead.
 
May today’s declaration expand your expectation of what God can accomplish in a surrendered life. Trust the power working within you—not as a reason for self-confidence, but as an invitation to deeper dependence on God. What He wants to do next may exceed what you have imagined.

John 15:2 “Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
 
Fruitfulness does not exempt us from pruning. In John 15:2, Jesus explains that even fruitful branches are pruned so they can produce more fruit. God’s pruning is not rejection; it is intentional preparation. Sometimes the next season requires releasing what once occupied our time, attention, energy, or affection.
 
As we continue exploring GREATER WORKS, we are learning that God’s work within us may involve both addition and removal. He strengthens what should remain and lovingly cuts away what hinders greater fruitfulness. What feels uncomfortable may actually be evidence of His careful preparation.
 
May today’s declaration give you grace to cooperate with God’s pruning. Ask Him what needs to be released, reordered, or surrendered. Trust the hands of the Gardener. If He is removing something, He may be making room for fruit you cannot yet see.

2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all… are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
 
God’s greatest interest is not simply making us more productive—He is making us more like Christ. In 2 Corinthians 3:18, Paul describes the Spirit’s ongoing work of transforming believers into the image of the Lord “from glory to glory.” Spiritual growth is not merely measured by what we accomplish but by who we are becoming.
 
Our journey through GREATER WORKS reminds us that outward impact should flow from inward transformation. Before asking for greater influence, greater opportunity, or greater responsibility, we can welcome the Spirit’s work in our character—our love, humility, patience, integrity, compassion, and obedience.
 
May today’s declaration deepen your desire to become more like Jesus. Let the Holy Spirit work beyond your gifts and abilities and into the deepest places of your character. One of the greatest works He will ever accomplish is forming the likeness of Christ within you.

OUR TIMES ARE IN GOD’S HANDS.“My times are in thy hand…” — Psalm 31:15 (KJV)
Some stories are built quickly. Others are pruned, prepared, covered, and cultivated by God over time. Ours has been a 12-year love story of surrender, healing, preparation, and obedience.
In January 2014, Declare Victory was born. I was Dion Jackson then—today, Pastor Dionne S. Goree—and so much has changed.
In those early days, we gathered seven days a week, sometimes praying and interceding well into the afternoon. We prayed for nations. We walked with people through healing, old trauma, historical hurts, pain, salvation, and the assurance of their faith. Together, we learned the heart of the Father and learned how to remain faithful through painful seasons.
Then God saw fit to send me a covering and a partner for the work. ❤️
For the last three and a half years, my husband, Pastor Royce S. Goree, and I have been marrying ministry, strengthening the foundation and preparing for what was ahead. I am grateful for the mantle he carries as pastor, leader, and administrator for Declare Victory—and now Victorious Church.
We didn't want to hurry.We didn't want to get ahead of God.We weren't trying to impress people.
We wanted to be prepared.
Isaiah 61 has been foundational to this journey:“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me…” — Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)
Now, after 12 years of pruning and preparation, we believe the time has come to build collectively what God established in our hearts years ago—Victorious Church and the greater vision of Victory City.
And we know we cannot build it alone.
If you have a heart for ministry, Kingdom advancement, serving people, building community, and creating something beautiful that generations to come can be proud of, we invite you to the table.
