Words – Day 12 by Iriza

Words Attract – Decree

“You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.” Job 22:28

Decrees are tools by which we cause the truths of the heavenly realm to manifest into the natural realm, becoming our daily reality. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:10. Decrees manifest heaven on earth. Within the biblical context of decrees, they are within the will and purposes of God. It’s safe to only use scripture for decrees, putting your own ideas of how things should be out of the equation. God unfolds His plans differently than what we expect. We can decree God’s provision and blessings over our lives, healing, provision – but always decreeing God’s will to establish His purpose. Decreeing Scripture releases God’s purposes into our lives without creating confusion or blinding us to His ways.

In Hebrew ‘Decree’ means to divide, separate and destroy. This definition reveals what happens in the spirit realm. When we decree “I am blessed” (inspired by Psalm 112:1), we establish the blessing while separating ourselves from anything purposed against it and destroying the plans of the enemy. “My children are strong and full of integrity (inspired by Psalm 112:2), we divide our children’s strength from their weakness. “My home brims with wealth” (inspired by Psalm 112:3), we establish our wealth on the promise of God and destroy the spirits of lack and poverty.

When we decree with Scripture, we:

• Speak God’s blessings upon our lives
• Institute the will and purposes of God
• Separate and destroy the plans of the enemy
• Impose judgment the enemy cannot impose

Prayer: Father, thank You for teaching us how to decree Your Word over our lives. I decree over each person reading this that You will PERFECT that which concerns them. Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.”
