Bright and powerful sunflower in the morning

Introduction

God used speech to establish reality when He created the universe. He spoke, and it was so. In the same vein, we, His children, can speak biblical truth over our lives and expect it to reveal itself in our lives. An effective way to see God’s Word become reality in our lives is by using powerful morning declarations at the beginning of our day.

Our words are the channel for God’s promises to manifest in our lives. Words are not visible, though extremely powerful. Words have creative power. We can use them to work for or against us.

“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.”

Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)

Basically, declaring scriptures over ourselves is stating them and announcing them over our lives. We can use powerful daily declarations throughout the day at any point in time. Even while lying in our beds or relaxing at the beach, we can declare God’s Word over our lives. All are excellent ways. However, a morning declaration is the most powerful way to start the day because we command our day into God’s hands.

The most important aspect of proclaiming or declaring over our lives is that what we say should be based on the Word of God (biblical). God will perform His word as captured in our affirmations because He has said He will fulfill His Word, and He does not lie and never changes. He is faithful.

“For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen.”

Ezekiel 12:25 (NLT)

What does the Bible Say about Commanding your Day?

Commanding the day with declarations based on scripture is a simple yet incredibly powerful way to enable us walk in greater authority over our day. We are daughters of the King, we have the authority to command our day.

Commanding our day is prophesying over our day. Powerful morning declarations activate God’s Word in our lives. God did the same. He declared, and the mere utterance of His Word created the world.

“By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”

Hebrews 11:3 (NLT)

What does command mean in the Bible? The definition of a commandment is a rule that must be obeyed, especially one handed down by God. A command is authoritative. The good news is that God gave us authority (Luke 10:19). We can use this authority to command our day by using biblical truth in our morning declarations.

Commanding the Morning Scriptures

The Bible is full of references to mornings. His mercies are new every morning (lamentations 3:22-23). His servants praise Him in the morning (Psalm 59:16). He wakes us up in the morning and opens our understanding to His will (Isaiah 50:4-5). Etcetera.

Mornings are important to God, and he wants to hear from us as soon as we wake up. He longs to see us. In response to this love, we can raise our voices to Him as soon as we wake up. We can direct our prayers and our declarations to Him in the morning.

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.”

Psalm 5:3 (NKJV)

God does not just want to hear from us in the morning, nor does He only speak in the morning. He also commands the morning itself:

“Have you ever commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?”

Job 38:12 (NLT)

How do I speak God’s Promises in my Life?

The promises of God are captured in His Word and in His Son, Jesus. Knowing His Son and His Word enables us to tap into His promises and declare them over our lives. By using powerful morning declarations, we speak the promises of God over our lives. Speaking a biblical declaration is saying “yes” and “amen” to God’s Word.

“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding ‘Yes!’ And through Christ, our ‘Amen’ (which means ‘Yes’) ascends to God for his glory.”

2 Corinthians 1:20 (NLT)

God’s Word is the life-giving source of our daily declarations

Remember that the power of these morning affirmations is not the way we put words together or even the way we eloquently pronounce them. It is the miracle-working power of the Word of God itself that makes them truly powerful.

For example, an awesome way to affirm protection over your life is by declaring Psalm 91 personalized prayers.

“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”

Isiah 55:11 (NLT)

Let’s Pray

Lord, I thank You for the power of Your Word. Thank You for waking us up each day and letting us see another beautiful morning. We step out in faith, trusting that You will carry us through the day.

By grace You have called us, and by grace we can use Your Word to proclaim life over our lives. We declare all the good things and promises in Your Word over our lives by proclaiming them in the mornings, and we receive powerful results throughout the day.

We trust You and Your Word. The same way as each Word that goes out from your lips will accomplish what You have sent it for, Your word on our lips will perform miracles. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
