The Reality Of The Resurrection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Does A Christian Have All Authority To Decree And Declare Things Over Their Lives?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 15, 2019

There is a growing trend within some circles of Christianity to teach that a Born-Again Christian can declare and decree things over themselves, and others, as already done.

The primary Scripture verse to support the teaching is: “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” (Job 22:28 KJV) The Hebrew word translated ‘decree’ in the verse is ‘gazar’ which is a verb in the masculine singular, and ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024

God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

The last few weeks, we've spent a fair bit of time studying, and circling around, Isaiah 49:1-6. These verses (I've argued) are the words of the exilic prophet, who feels like his ministry to Israel has been a waste. He's accomplished nothing. He's poured out his strength for ...read more
