PRAYER: The Key to Destiny StepsSample

UNLEASHING THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF PRAYER

I firmly believe that as we declare the promises of God with our voices, we tap into the transformative power of the spoken word.

When God created the heavens and the earth, it was formless and void. As He began to shape the world, He simply said, "Let there be," and it came to fruition. Everything He created, He first vocalized into existence. The exciting part about this is that we are made in God's image … possessing the same creative authority–the ability to "speak and see."

The Word of God, breathed by God Himself, nourishes our faith; it serves as the bridge between today's hopes and tomorrow's promises. Faith is cultivated by continually hearing the Word of God, and what we listen to shapes our hearts, influencing our speech. That which nourishes us guides us. Spending time in prayer redirects our focus from our circumstances to God's promises.

Our voices possess incredible power. It is the only instrument that God created with His own hands. Use your voice to prophesy throughout your life. Speak prophetically over the direction of your life because your tongue holds the power of life and death.

As royal sons and daughters, we wield the authority of kings and queens, capable of altering our reality through declarations. Speaking God's promises ushers in joy, strength, healing, and, above all, freedom. "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed." Begin the day by writing and proclaiming your decrees aligned with God's Word; declare it, and it shall be established.
