Calling the Things That Are Not as They Were:
The Power of Faith and Declaration
In the journey of life, we often encounter challenges, trials, and circumstances that seem insurmountable. In such moments, it is easy to succumb to fear, doubt, and despair. However, for those who believe, there is a profound truth that can transform every situation: the power of faith and declaration.
The concept of “calling the things that are not as they were” stems from the belief that through faith and the spoken word, we can shape our reality in alignment with God’s promises. It is about speaking life, hope, and victory into our circumstances, even when they seem bleak.
One of the foundational verses that encapsulate this principle is found in Romans 4:17 (NIV): “As it is written: ‘I have made you a father of many nations.’ He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.”
This verse highlights the power of God to bring forth life from death and to call into existence that which did not previously exist. It underscores the creative power inherent in the spoken word when infused with faith.
Furthermore, Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) declares, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” This verse emphasizes the potency of God’s word, likening it to a sharp sword that can penetrate the deepest recesses of our being and effect transformation.
When we stand in faith and decree and declare the word of God over our situations, we are tapping into this transformative power. We are aligning ourselves with God’s truth and inviting His supernatural intervention into our lives. Miracles happen, not because of our strength or merit, but because of the faithfulness and power of God’s word.
In conclusion, as believers, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). We are called to speak life, hope, and victory into every circumstance, trusting in the unfailing promises of God. So, let us boldly proclaim His word, knowing that He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23), and watch as mountains are moved and impossibilities become possibilities.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of your word, which is alive and active. Help us to stand firm in faith and to boldly declare your promises over our lives. Strengthen our hearts, Lord, and fill us with unwavering confidence in your power to bring forth life from death and to turn our situations around for good. May your will be done in our lives, and may your name be glorified through every victory we experience. In Jesus’ name, amen.
GOD Loves You So Much.
