A National Decree
“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.” (Job 22:28; NASB)
More and more believers are learning the power of agreeing with God in our hearts and declaring it from our mouths. We are born again - the greatest of all miracles - when we believe the Gospel in our hearts and confess it with our mouths (Romans 10:9-10). The Greek word translated “confess” (homologia) means “to say the same.” ln a biblical context, it means to say what God says. Because of the root Greek word logos/logia, a more thorough definition would be “to understand, agree with (submit to), and acknowledge this by saying it.” Confessing Jesus as Lord means you understand the Gospel, agree and submit to it, and declare this verbally.
Confessing, declaring, or decreeing our faith in God’s Word has become somewhat controversial due to unbalanced teaching by some and ignorance of the Scriptures on the part of others. It need not be, however. Simply stated, the power of God’s Word and from what Holy Spirit says prophetically, must be released by us. One of the ways we do so is with our mouths. This truth is seen throughout Scripture.
There are other reasons we speak God’s words, as well. In my studies over the years, I have come to believe we do so in order to:
Increase our faith - Romans 10:17 tells us faith comes by hearing God’s words. Jesus said His words were seeds (Matthew 13:1-23). Hearing His Word as we speak it, is one of the ways in which we plant the seeds in our hearts. Speaking the Word is actually part of biblical meditation (Joshua 1:8); the Hebrew word means to mutter or speak to oneself.
Release our faith - As stated in the opening paragraph, releasing our faith by stating what we believe is how we’re born again (Romans 10:9-10). Jesus said declaring our faith would remove mountains of adversity from our lives (Mark 11.23-24). The Faith in our hearts must be released!
Release God’s power and life - Jesus spoke to storms, fig trees, and dead individuals (Mark 4:39; Matthew 21:19; John 11.43). Obviously, He did not do so because storms or trees have ears, and the dead don’t hear. Jesus was releasing His faith through His words. He also released miracles, as did the disciples, through declarations (Matthew 8:8-13; Acts 9.34,40). Proverbs 18:21 tells us “life” is in the power of our words!
Release the sword of the Spirit - Ephesians 6:17 tells us the spoken Word is a spiritual weapon against forces that oppose God. Matthew 16:18-19 says we bind and loose, forbid and allow with the authority Christ has delegated to us. This is accomplished by declaring His words and will.
Obviously, we must pray and decree according to God’s will and Word (1 John 5:14-15). When we do so, however, our declarations and decrees release life, power, His will and Kingdom rule (Matthew 6:10). Like God - and Abraham - we call things that be not, as already existing (Romans 4:17). The definition of faith - believing in what we cannot see - lets us know that we are decreeing what we desire and know to be God’s will, not what has already manifested. This is why we make declarations and decrees.
Our friends at Flashpoint, Gene and Teri Bailey, have written and released the following strong, biblically-based decree over America. My prayer is that millions of believers will begin to release it daily over our nation. As we do, power will be released, and the will of God will manifest. Let’s decree it together now. If you are reading along with me, say it. If you are listening only, agree with us and print it later from our Give Him 15 website. The decree is included at the end of today’s post.

For He says, ‘At the acceptable time (the time of grace) I listened to you, and I helped you on the day of salvation.’ Behold, now is ‘the acceptable time,’ behold, now is ‘the day of salvation.’” (2 Corinthians 6:1-2; AMP)
