Text: Matthew 9:18-21
Memory text:
“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
Mark 11:23 NKJV
Prophetic declarations are Spirit-led, faith-filled words spoken in agreement with God’s will to bring His purposes into reality. It unlocks what heaven has already prepared for you, that is, your daily and seasonal portions. You are able to command your daily benefits and portions for each season. “Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!” (Psa 31:19).
Prophetic declaration enforces God’s authority in the earth like a royal decree. It carries legal authority in the spirit realm. “Where the word of a king is, there is power” (Ecc 8:4). Like a hammer, it breaks obstacles and strongholds. This was what prophet Elisha did when he declared to the Shunammite woman, “About this time next year, you shall embrace a son.” …But the woman conceived and bore a son when the appointed time had come, of which Elisha had told her.”
(II Kings 4:16-17).
Prophetic declaration also exposes and tears down the lies of satan, like a sword. Satan trades in lies and deception. He makes people believe lies about God’s Word and themselves. The Shunammite woman had given up desiring a child. So, was Abraham who was contented with having Eliezer as his heir and Sarah, who laughed when God told Abraham that she would have a son. “Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also?”” (Gen 18:12).
Thus, when prophetic word is spoken in faith and authority, it cuts down every lie of the devil that keeps people stuck and releases God’s victory.
Prophetic declaration unlocks heaven’s will and establishes it on earth. With your mouth, you release heaven’s verdict on earth (Prov 18:21). The woman with twelve years issue of blood said even before meeting Jesus that, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”” (Matt 9:21). Whenever you speak the scriptures or the revealed Word over your life, you position yourself for the will of heaven to be fulfilled in you.
Friends, like different seeds have different germination periods, prophetic declarations have different times of fulfillment. The Word spoken goes into the atmosphere and produces fruits at its own seasons.
