Declare Victory Prayer Call

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.
Join Pastors Royce S. & Dionne S. Goree, along with our special guest Bishop Charles A. Ross, for the Victorious Church Interest Meeting.

“And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations…” — Isaiah 61:4 (KJV)

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
 
Transformation often begins with the way we think. In Romans 12:2, Paul teaches that renewal of the mind enables us to discern what is good, acceptable, and pleasing to God. Old assumptions, fears, habits, and patterns of thinking can keep us responding to new opportunities with yesterday’s limitations.
 
As we explore the greater work God desires to do within us, we are reminded that He does not merely change our circumstances—He transforms our perspective. The Holy Spirit renews our minds so that we can recognize God’s will, respond with faith, and see possibilities through the lens of His truth rather than our limitations.
 
May today’s declaration invite God into the way you think. Ask Him to expose thoughts that no longer agree with His Word and replace them with truth. Greater works require more than new opportunities; they require minds increasingly surrendered to God.

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
 
Before we become consumed with what God wants to accomplish through us, we should recognize what He is already accomplishing within us. In Philippians 2:13, Paul reminds us that God is at work in us—shaping both our desires and our ability to respond according to His good pleasure. Even our willingness to obey can be evidence of His grace working beneath the surface.
 
As we continue our October theme, GREATER WORKS, we’re turning our attention inward. Before God does a greater work through us, His Spirit is already doing a transforming work within us. He changes desires, confronts resistance, strengthens willingness, and prepares our hearts for what He wants to do next.
 
May today’s declaration help you surrender to God’s internal work. Instead of beginning with, “What can I do for God?” ask, “Lord, what are You doing in me?” Trust that the One preparing the assignment is also preparing you.

Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…”
 
Jesus never promised greater works without also providing the power necessary to accomplish them. In Acts 1:8, He tells His disciples that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them and that this power will enable them to become His witnesses. The assignment was greater than their natural ability, but they were never expected to fulfill it alone.
 
As we begin our journey through GREATER WORKS, we are reminded that the promise of greater works was never an invitation to greater self-reliance. The Holy Spirit is our source. He empowers our witness, directs our steps, strengthens our obedience, and enables us to participate in what God is doing.
 
May today’s declaration move you from striving to dependence. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you increasingly aware of His presence and responsive to His leading. Before we consider what God wants to accomplish through us, let us first yield to the power He has already placed within us.

John 14:12“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
Welcome to a new month—a fresh opportunity to expect God to move beyond what we can accomplish in our own strength. Jesus declared that those who believe in Him would do greater works. This is not an invitation to strive harder; it is a call to recognize the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit already at work within us.
This month, become increasingly aware of what you carry. The same Spirit who empowers, leads, comforts, reveals, and transforms lives in you. When we surrender our plans, gifts, voices, hands, and ordinary moments to Him, God can accomplish extraordinary things through ordinary people.
Let this be a supernatural month—a month of greater faith, greater obedience, greater discernment, and greater works. Expect God to stretch your capacity, sharpen your spiritual sensitivity, and use you in ways that point people directly to Jesus.
May today’s declaration awaken you to the power working within you. You are not entering this month depending solely on your ability—you are entering empowered by the Holy Spirit. Greater works are possible because greater power is present.

Colossians 3:12–14“Put on therefore… kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another… and above all these things put on charity.”
We began this month by receiving forgiveness. We have considered the courage required to forgive ourselves, the grace required to forgive others, and the wisdom required to release offense without abandoning discernment. Now we arrive at the heart of it all: forgiveness is meant to become a way of life.
Paul describes forgiveness alongside compassion, kindness, humility, patience, and love. That means forgiveness is not merely something we do when someone hurts us. It becomes part of who we are as people who have been transformed by grace. The gift we received becomes the character we carry.
May today’s declaration remind you that you are a forgiven person called to live free. May the grace you have received become the grace you extend, and may your life continually testify that forgiveness is not merely something God gives us—it is something He uses to transform us.
