You will also declare a thing

I used to love watching Catchphrase on TV when Roy Walker would ask contestants to view a picture and guess the catchphrase. When they were struggling to guess correctly, Roy Walker would always say, “Say what you see.”

When we are struggling with sickness that is not good advice. The more we talk and meditate on the problem, the worse it sometimes becomes. It's understandable to want to talk about the sickness attacking our bodies. As Roy Walker would say, “It's good but it's not right.” Actually, it is not good or right!

It seems to me that nothing is released from heaven without a declaration first. During the Christmas story we have just celebrated, the angels declared Messiah's birth. In creation, God spoke and it was. We are made in his image and, when we make a declaration, something moves in the spirit.

The way to rise up and overcome any situation is to begin by making a declaration about the solution.

“You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.”
Job 22:28

Jesus declared that Lazarus' situation would not end in death. Even though Lazarus died and was buried four days, Jesus' declaration came to pass.

God encourages us to make a declaration about our difficulties.

“…Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'”
Joel 3:10

There is no doubt that words are powerful. They are used to promote peace and spread terrorism. They are used to bring down governments and establish new eras.

We need to know what God has said about our healing and begin to declare it wisely over our bodies, our finances and any challenge we face.

“There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,
But the tongue of the wise promotes health.”
Proverbs 12:18

What are you declaring about your situation today?
