SPEAK, HEAR and RELEASE GOD’s WORD – DECREE
William Akehurst, HSWC
GOD's WORD is POWERFUL. We know it made alive in us when reading it and a verse seems to jump off the page and into our heart. That is the work of HOLY SPIRIT, but there's more to learn here. Learn to SPEAK, HEAR, WRITE and RELEASE GOD'S WORD with AUTHORITY into your life and surroundings as you increase in faith.
INCREASE YOUR FAITH - Read Scripture aloud.
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
WRITE IT DOWN
Proverbs 3:3-4 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 7:1-3 1 My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. 2 Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Jeremiah 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
LOOK AROUND YOU AND SEE GOD’S GLORY
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handywork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
DECREES AND DECLARATIONS
28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.
RELEASE YOUR FAITH BY DECLARATION
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
WHEN YOU READ, HEAR, SPEAK GOD’S WORD, ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR UNDERSTANDING
Matthew 13:1-23 selections
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
SPEAKING THE WORD is actually part of biblical meditation
Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8; the word “meditate” is actually the Hebrew word “hagah” which means to mutter or speak to oneself. “to chew on it”.
Hannah (Samuel’s Mother) was seen by Eli the priest muttering and thought to be drunk. 1 Samuel 1:12-18
