How to Prophesy and Change Your World in 2017
By Capazin Thornton
2017 is the year for Christians to take action. No more sitting back and waiting for things to happen. It’s time to prophesy the change you want to happen.
Prophesy and Change Your World
To prophesy is to tell forth God-given truths. The Scriptures reveal the heart, mind, and will of God. As Christ believers, we just declare what God has already said.
All believers can prophesy. In Acts 4:31, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word with boldness. They were not reserved. They were courageous and outspoken.
We can open our mouths, command and decree the positive changes we want to see in our families, cities, nation, and the world.
Use the Name above every name
What a privilege we have to use the most powerful name in the universe to bring the policies of Heaven to bear in the earth! Every created thing must bow its knee to the name of Jesus. (Phil 2:9-11)
We have authority to enforce Christ’s victory over the devil. Whenever obstacles or circumstances rear up between you and God’s promise to you, command them to get out of your way in the Name of Jesus.
Be Bold
Be bold as a lion this year. Prophesy to principalities and powers the manifold wisdom of God.
The Word of God is light and truth. It will pierce through the darkness. It is like a hammer. It will break yokes and shatter defenses.
Every word of God is potent: alive, energizing, powerful, and effective. And every promise of God is potentially yours.
Speak from a heavenly perspective
Rise in the Spirit and say what God says about you.
“I am forgiven, redeemed, healed, delivered, blessed, and graced with grace.”
Say about your future what God says about your future.
“In Christ, my path is like the shining sun that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.”
Decree that your children will serve their generation by the will of God.
Do not let oppressive atmospheres overtake you. You carry the presence of God to exceed the atmosphere.
Declare increase to your life – increase in wisdom, discernment, finances, character, and influence. Declare excellent health.
Begin and finish the year with bold outspokenness. Prophesy the Word of God and change your world.
