In this article Kevin shares 31 word decrees that the subject matter of his new book:
?31 Decrees That Will Revolutionize Your Life?
This book is being published by King of Glory Ministries International Publications and is due to be released in March 2011.
Breathed By
The Holy Spirit
In late 2010 and early 2011 the Lord began to speak to me about writing down daily decrees to speak over my life. As I fasted, prayed, and waited upon the Lord He was faithful to drop the decrees and word confessions that are contained in this little book into my spirit.
He spoke to me Spirit to spirit. Later the Holy Spirit encouraged me to write these word decrees down and to make them available to people so that they could also speak them out over their lives too.
Job 22: 28 encourages us in this matter: ?You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.?
These word confessions and decrees were conceived by the Holy Spirit in a season of prayer and fasting. God?s word is living, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
I believe with all of my heart that as you decree these short word confessions over your life you too will see the God of the universe transform your circumstances for the better, just like He did for me.
This is the scriptural principle of Revelation 19:10b: ?The testimony of Jesus IS the spirit of prophesy!?
Since these word confessions were conceived by the Holy Spirit I believe that the ?Breath of the Spirit? is attached to them. They are alive and active just like Hebrews 4:12 depicts God?s Holy word.
God?s word can change your life. I have outlined how God?s word changed my awful circumstances as I spoke and decreed it over my life and situation. So the breathed word of God can do the same thing for you, because God is no respecter of persons. We are all equal in the eyes of God and He loves us all the same.
What the Lord did for me, He can also do for you. That is the beauty of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, at times it takes some initiative on our part.
Sometimes we have a role to play in releasing the Kingdom of God and the blessings that the Lord has pre-ordained for us to walk in over our lives. Jesus also spoke about this subject too. Praise God that part is made very easy for us.
We can find out how to activate God?s supernatural blessings and favor in our lives by studying the scriptures. ( Kevin writes about this in detail in this upcoming book).
