The prophetic declaration.

• This is a very interesting scripture – Job 22:28 (NKJV) – You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.

The declaration carries power and authority of Heaven to earth.

• For example – God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light – (Genesis 1:3).
• His words cause things to happen in our world – physical realm – They have power and authority to do this
• Then He gives His dominion – His authority over to man – Genesis 1:26 (NKJV) – Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion … over all the earth.

We must be careful what we declare.

• But God warns us that our declarations are powerful for both for good or evil – Proverbs 18:21 – Death and lifeare in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
• Witchcraft and rebellion can happen with our words, even words from the Bible – but so can good things
• We can declare amiss – James 4:3 (NKJV) – You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend iton your pleasures.

The declaration must be coupled with faith.

• We need to be declaring with 20/20 vision – Ephesians 1:18 (NKJV) – …the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints…
• Faith understands authority – Matthew 8:8-10 – The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does ” ¹⁰ When Jesus heard it,He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

The declaration in action.

• Then you declare what your boss wants done – Acts 3:1-11.

It’s the declaration that makes prophetic Church available and powerful.
