The Power of Decree

 
This is the Power of God to Them that Believe

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. (Romans 4:17 KJV)

God calls those things that are not as though they were. Why? Because He is changing the reality by the word He speaks. When Jesus told everyone “the girl is not dead but only sleeping”, everyone laughed.

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. (Matthew 9:24 KJV)

People are still laughing today but the reality is that this is the God we serve, the God that makes all things possible and He has also given us an overwhelming promise and instruction.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12 NKJV)

Speaking the word of God is powerful.
