Doing Spiritual Warfare with Prophetic Declarations

Text: Psalm 103:20, 29:1-8

The believer is the temple of the Living God. The Spirit of Christ dwells in us. Believers are children of God. When a believer declares the Word of God out of his heart: that is the Voice of his Word (Psalm 103:20). God and His Word is the same (John 1:1). When we use our voice to declare the truth of God’s Word planted in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that becomes the more sure Word of prophecy(2 Peter 1:19).The more sure Word of prophecy causes light to shine in whatever area we are confronted with. We are releasing light when we speak the Word of God to any situation and activating angelic intervention.

Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37 was commanded by God to prophesy to the lifeless bones and to the winds. He obeyed and the results came.

Jesus admonished us in Mark 11:23 to prophesy or speak to any mountain in our lives in operating our faith before praying. In Matthew 4:4 through prophetic declarations: it is written Jesus overcame the enemy.

Today it is important to believe Hebrews 2:14 that the power of the enemy has been completely destroyed. The only power He has now is to deceive. Our battle is against the wiles (deception) of the devil (Ephesians 6:11), not the devil himself that is the deception of sin and sinful acts. When we yield to sin by believing his lies, it is like we hand over power in Christ to Satan.
Strife, complaining, murmuring, back biting , lust of the flesh, of the eyes and the pride of life and in fact any work of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21, 1 John 2:15-16 is giving the enemy our own authority) to intimidate us. God forbid.

Our responsibility is to enforce the defeat of Satan by Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary by declaring the truth (John 8:32). When we release from our mouths the Light –the Word of God, as commanded by Jesus Christ in mark 11:23, darkness automatically bows. So Jesus defeated Satan and took the keys of hell and death from him, and made an open show of him triumphing over him (Colossians 2:15, Revelation 1:18)

What happens when we declare God’s word prophetically?

a) Power is released to accomplish the task-Psalm 29:4
b) The toughest mountain or obstacle is broken. Nothing can resist the word.- Psalm 29:5
c) The mountains will jump and skip away quickly -Psalm 29:6
d) It divides the fire released by the enemy so that we walk through unscathed like the three Hebrew children.- Psalm 29:7.

So when you diligently feed on the Word of God through meditation and study, and then release what is inside you through prophetic declaration “it is written or thus saith the Lord, you are releasing arrows against opposition and they will certainly bow and depart. The Word of God you speak under the influence of the Holy Spirit is prophetic and will liberate you anywhere and anytime. God bless
