Shut Down the Lies and Manifest
God’s Best for You!
Have you ever been enticed by an opportunity that sounded too good to be true? Careful—it could be a trap from
the enemy meant to derail you from your God-given destiny.
Bursting with energy and revelation, this message will equip you with biblical tools that will help you recognize and
shut down the enemy’s tactics so that you can fully manifest God’s best in your life. Jesse is on fire as he explores
scripture and teaches key truths that were vital for Jesus’ victory over temptation, such as:
• There are no short roads to manifestation—if it’s a small price, it’s a big lie!
• A manifestation is gained not by power but by love
• When you are full of the Holy Ghost, you’ll know the difference between the appetites of evil and goodness
• And much more!
Just as Jesus exposed Satan’s lies and had victory over temptation, you can too. Learn how to clearly see all that God
has for you and start manifesting His perfect plan for you today!
