At training camp we did something called “Declarations” where we stood on chairs (other furniture will also do) and shouted out loud truths about who we are in Christ and what that means. This moment had such a profound impact on me and I was determined to find them once I came home.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Declarations #1: These
10 basic declarations are foundational to the building of your
faith. They will increase expectancy of God’s goodness; and thus,
will increase the manifestation of that goodness in your life. Jesus
said “according to your faith, so be it. (Matthew 8:13)
1.
My prayers are powerful and effective. ( 2 Cor 5:21.
James 5:16b)
2.
God richly supplies all my financial needs (Phil 4:19)
3.
I am dead to sin and alive to obeying God (Romans 6:11)
4.
I walk in ever-increasing health (Isaiah 53:3-5, Ps 103:1-3)
5.
I live under a supernatural protection (Ps 91)
6.
I prosper in all my relationships (Luke 2:52)
7.
I consistently bring God-encounters to other people (Mark
16:17,18)
8.
Through Jesus I am 100% loved and worthy to receive all of
God’s blessings (Gal 3:1-5)
9.
Each of my family members is wonderfully blessed and radically
loves Jesus (Acts 16:30-31)
10.
I uproariously laugh when I hear a lie from the devil (Ps
2:2-4)
Declarations #2: Remember this: Faith is
the evidence of things not seen (Heb 11:1). Our evidence for things
being true is not our circumstances, but God’s promises. We don’t
deny negative facts in your lives, bus we chose to focus on a higher reality;
God’s truth. Faith indeed comes by hearing (Rom 10:17); therefore,
we speak to these powerful truths to build our own faith.
1.
I set the course of my life with my
declarations. (James 3:2-5)
2.
God is on my side; therefore I declare that I can not be
defeated, discouraged, depressed or disappointed (Rom 8:37, Ps 91, Phil 4:13)
3.
I am the head and not the tail. I have insight, I
have wisdom. I have ideas and divine strategies. I have
authority (Deut 28:13, Deut 8:18, James 1:5-8, Luke 10:19)
4.
As I speak God’s promises, they come to pass. They
stop all attacks, assaults, oppression, and fear from my life. (2
Petere 1:2-4, Mark 11:23-24)
5.
I have the wisdom of God today. I will think the
right thoughts, say the right words, and make the right decisions in every situation
I face (James 1:5, 1 Cor 2:16)
6.
I expect to have powerful divine appointments today to heal the
sick, raise the dead, prophesy life and lead people to Christ, to bring
deliverance, to release signs and wonders and to bless every place I go (the
Book of Acts)
7.
I expect the best day of my life spiritually, emotionally,
relationally, and financially in Jesus’ name (Rom 15:13)
Declarations #3 One of the main methods
Jesus and the apostles used was to SPEAK TO things. You will notice
they did not ask God to heal people, to cast out demons, or to raise the dead;
but they spoke to the bodies, to demons, to the wind, etc…Jesus encouraged us
to speak to mountains in Mark 11:23. This set of declarations focuses much on
our speaking to the various aspects in our lives.
1.
I have a covenant with God, and by the blood of Jesus I release
my divine protection and divine provision (Heb 8:6)
2.
My angels are carrying out the word of God on my behalf (Ps
103:20)
3.
Any adversity, attack, accidents and tragedies that were headed
my way are diverted right now in Jesus’ name (Ps 91)
4.
I speak to the raging waters in my life; peace, be
still. I say to my mind; peace, be still. I say to my emotions;
peace, be still. I say to my body; peace, be still. I say
to my home; peace, be still. I say to my family; peace, be
still (Mark 4:39)
5.
Now I speak to every mountain of fear, every mountain of
discouragement, every mountain of stress, every mountain of depression, every
mountain of lack and insufficiency; and I say, “be removed and cast into
the sea in Jesus’ name!” (Mark 11:22-24)
6.
And I speak to this day and I call you blessed. And
I declare that I serve a mighty God who today will do exceedingly and
abundantly beyond all that I can ask or think (Eph 3:20). I say you
are a GOOD GOD and I eagerly anticipate your goodness today.
