    Frequently Asked Questions

    To decree and declare is to move from a posture of petitioning to a posture of faith. Instead of simply describing a struggle or asking for a result, you use your words as tools for change by speaking God’s promises out loud. This practice shifts your perspective from praying for faith to praying from a place of established faith, allowing you to stand on a firm foundation rather than just hoping for a specific outcome.

    The Bible emphasizes that words have significant impact, notably in Proverbs 18:21, which states that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Additionally, Job 22:28 highlights the concept of spiritual authority, suggesting that when you declare a thing, it will be established for you. These scriptures ground the practice of decreeing and declaring in ancient wisdom, showing that spoken words are not just descriptions but are active tools that can change your situation.

    Traditional prayer is often seen as a petition where one asks God for something and hopes for the best. In contrast, decreeing and declaring is about speaking from a position of authority and faith. It is the difference between saying 'I hope I get through this' and declaring 'I am more than a conqueror.' This shift in language is intended to change the atmosphere and the speaker's own spirit by aligning their words with biblical promises.
