Please can you forward me a prayer to decree our company from liquidation and ask GOD to save our jobs
Hello Susan. You certainly have our prayers for God to save your jobs. Please read what the Bible says about declaring or decreeing: https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/is-it-biblical-to-declare-and-decree/
Thanks for sharing Jack..
I believe as co-heirs and disciples of Christ, we have the authority in Christ to declare and decree the promises of God (“all promises of God are Yes in Christ”) according to will/purpose and heart of the Father.. This was the only prayer Jesus taught us how to prayer (Matthew 6:10: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven”)
Yes that includes over myself and over other people, cities and Nations.. That’s the power of Prayer in Jesus name. God moves and atmosphere changes!
Hello Mr. Abajian. What you believe and what is true is not the same thing apparently. We have no such authority to speak things into existence or declare something and bring it to pass or decree that this or that would happen. Only God has such authority. We have His authority to preach and teach but not to “name it and claim it” which is a false gospel so you are wrong about the power of your words. you have no control over nature or angels…only God can despense them as He sees fit…not you or me, mere men.
The words of Jesus:
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.””
Matthew 16:19
“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.”
Job 22:28
Jesus has given us the keys of the kingdom of heaven, therefore He has given us authority in Jesus name to declare things in heaven for it to be established in Earth, and declare things in heaven to be established on Earth.
The verse you quote you are taking out of context as this refers to church discipline. The idea of declaring and decreeing is what God does and not man and you & I are not God.
I have heard a growing number of people believing as Joshua Abajian. Do you know which verses they are using to claim this? It seems to me that they are undermining the sovereignty of God and elevating their own involvement but I haven’t been able to put my finger on where it is they begin to deviate from the truth that they end up so far from what I believe the bible actually says/means.
Hello Ruth. I could not find much good about Joshua Abajian so you have good insight and thank you for warning us about this man.
