You must decree the Decrees of Heaven
to receive the Miracles of God
When we decree the decrees of heaven, heaven will invade our lives.
When we decree on earth the will of our heavenly Father, His kingdom is established on this earth.
When we proclaim and command and decree, according to God's revelation from heaven, received through His word and through His Spirit, the miracles of God will manifest daily in every area of our lives.
There are three places in God's word teach us to declare and decree only what God has decreed and declared from heaven
1. FIRST PLACE: Jesus commands us to pray according to the will of our Father in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
Matthew 6:9-10
9 This, then, is how you should pray:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be
done, on earth as it is in
heaven."
And according to Mark 11:24, as soon as we have prayed according to our Father's will, we must decree and declare that the miracle has come (Mark 11:23).
Thus we always decree and declare on earth, after we have prayed, according to the will of the Father in heaven.
2. SECOND PLACE: In Matthew 16:19 (NIV Margin, NASB), Jesus also directly commands us to decree and proclaim only what He has decreed from heaven
Matthew 16:19 NIV Margin, NAS
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.
[Bind and loose = Make a decree]
In the above verse, Matthew 16:19, Jesus first tells us that He will give us the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.
These keys are revelation and commands and decrees from heaven.
They act as keys because they will unlock our blessings and calling when we decree and declare them.
Then He says that we are to "bind and loose on earth" what has been "bound and loosed in heaven."
"Binding and loosing" is a term used by Rabbis to denote their indisputable authority to forbid or to permit a matter or a task (Binding and Loosing, Wikipedia).
Therefore it means "to make a decree."
In other words. Jesus is here giving all His children the indisputable authority to decree on earth what God has already decreed in heaven.
And if we believe that what we say and decree will happen, it will be done for us by God (Mark 11:23).
Therefore, we must decree on earth only the decrees of heaven.
Like Jesus our Lord, all believers should likewise make commands or decrees or declaration on earth according to the Father's will in heaven.
We must say and declare the blessings that are found only in God’s word.
We must say and declare the blessings that are given to us by the Holy Spirit.
Only then will God's power be released to perform what we have commanded or decreed.
3. THIRD PLACE: Jesus Himself said that whatever He did on earth, it was done according to the will of the Father in heaven (John 6:38)
John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me.
Thus whenever Jesus made a decree or a command or a declaration to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, or command the wind and the waves to be still, it was always done according to the will of the Father in heaven.
4. We have no blanket authority to decree as we wish
Whatever we say that is not in line with the truth of God's word is from the devil.
John 8:44
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
We have not been given authority by Jesus to decree and declare on earth for things that fulfill our own plans or desires or lusts.
If we do so, we will then be doing the will of the devil, and not the will of our heavenly Father (John 8:44).
If we do so, we will be rebuked by Jesus Himself (Matthew 16:23).
Matthew 16:23
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."
However, if we decree the decrees of heaven, if we proclaim only the good plans of God for His creation, if we declare only His will for all men, then God will do what we say, and heaven will invade the earth.
In this way, we rule and reign with Jesus as kings and priests on this earth (Revelation 5:10 NKJ; 2 Timothy 2:12).

A TESTIMONY
MY IMMEDIATE BOSS SHOWED ME GREAT FAVOUR
AS I DECREED THE WILL OF THE FATHER
Brother SC:
"I work in a big company in Penang, but my immediate boss is based in Europe.
For the last 6 months, I have been declaring with my wife that I have a good boss, every morning before we both leave our house for work.
This is because God has said that if we ask anything from Him, He will only give us good things (Matthew 7:11).
Since I have asked God to bless and touch my boss, and to make my boss a good boss to me, I believed that I have received my miracle from God as soon as I asked Him (Mark 11:24).
Therefore, I can declare and decree every day that God has given me a good boss, and because I believe that what I say will happen, it will be done for me (Mark 11:23).
A month after I started decreeing that my boss is a good boss, I received a card from him for my Chinese New Year, sent to my house, something that has never happened before with this boss or any other bosses.
A month after that, the Human Resource Manager called to inform me that I have received a special bonus.
This bonus was authorized by my boss from Europe, and I was the only one receiving this special bonus in my company.
Hallelujah!
All glory be to God!"
Shalom
