Decree

Back in the day, kings would decree things. They would set laws. They would call corporate fasts. They would give mandates. They would exert their authority publicly through decrees. God has given us this same power to speak, to declare, and to decree things. Most of us do not utilize this power. We speak lack. We speak illness. We speak ill-will into our lives everyday. (I’m sick. I’m broke.) We accept our circumstances and deny our power within. I challenge you to decree life, health and wisdom into your life and those around around you. I challenge you to reiterate God’s mandate for your life in this season. I challenge you to decree wealth and opportunities and blessings to overtake you. I challenge you to decree God’s perfect will be done in your life.

Declaration

There is power in spoken word. There are lots of "new age" thinking based on this logic. The Power of Positive Thinking is based on faith and inspiration. The Law of Attraction is based on affirmations, declarations, and visualization. The Secret is based on positive thinking and the law of attraction.  These are not new ideas. The branding and marketing is new. Reaping and sowing is not new. It is an agricultural principle. If you sow an apple seed, you will reap an apple tree. If you sow love, you will reap and abundance of love. Make positive declarations over your life and your future. Create a vision board. Sketch your dream house. Name your kids. Write a few morning affirmations. Create a breeding ground for creativity and positivity. Make a declaration!
