In this Q&A video, Pastor Bill shares the importance of the declared word of God to facilitate His purposes on earth. As believers, we are working to hear what God is saying and make a confession and prophetic decree in agreement with what He is saying
uh i’ve heard it said at bethel that
nothing happens in the kingdom without
first being a declaration uh can you
explain more
what that means it would be incorrect to
say
god can’t do anything unless we say
something yeah that that wouldn’t be
right
but the emphasis is on the declaration
because of our role of co-laboring
it’s vital that we say what we’re saying
even god
i mean he spoke things into being
there’s something about the declared
word that really
helps to facilitate his purposes
you know even even jesus said
everything that father has is mine and
the holy spirit
is taking what is mine and he will
declare it to you so
even the spirit of god made a decree to
transfer resource from jesus’s account
to ours
and so the declaration is all the way
through the nature of god
and therefore the nature of the believer
life and death is in the power of the
tongue there’s something about
the spoken word the declared word and to
harness
our mouth was the big challenge you know
in scripture that if
if you you’re a perfect if you’ve got
according to james that’s always blown
my mind yeah you can manage your mouth
and you’re a perfect man you’re there
yeah and so
what we’re working to do is to become
much more intentional to hear what god
is saying and make the decree
agree with him make not only the
confession but i
i think sometimes it’s like a prophetic
decree that we’ve heard something from
the lord
it’s now time for us to say it and i’ve
had situations where
i mean i know i know for a fact that
something didn’t happen until it was
decreed
i mean it was actually it sounds strange
i don’t know how to describe in the time
that we have but it was almost like
something was withheld
until the decree was made when the
decree was made
that that reality was released into that
situation and reversed it
wow and you know i don’t like you using
it as a formula because then you start
trying to basically control god with our
words that’s that’s dumb but
but it’s still it’s still a very real
principle mm-hmm
