5 BENEFITS OF BIBLICAL
DECLARATIONS
Biblical Declarations, known as Scriptural declarations or faith affirmations, will strengthen a believer’s faith and deepen the root of a belief in God. Thus you will renew your mind and transform your life for good. The more you speak truth over yourself, the more confident you become in exercising your believer’s authority and manifesting an abundant life in Christ. Here are some benefits to encourage you to engage with this spiritual exercise daily so build your faith in God and fulfil God’s purpose for your life.
- It builds up your faith in God. It is with no doubt that speaking biblical declarations over yourself will build your faith in God. Since they have roots in the Bible, the sword of the Spirit carries the power to uplift you. Therefore, the more you speak biblical declarations over yourself the more you extract power from the word of God to build up your self-confidence and allow the Lord builds it for you (Psalm 127:1). You will find your faith in God rising, and your self-confidence increasing and a firm conviction settling in your mind. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17)”.
- It renews your mind and transforms your life for good. One of the great things about biblical declarations spoken over yourself is that it debunks lies and creates truth in your mind so your life can align with God’s plans for you and create an atmosphere where a change in your situation or circumstance can happen. Let us look at it this way; if God created the changes he wanted to see in creation with His word, then we, too, can change our world with His word, for he has given us access to this powerful tool he used (Genesis 1). We can create those changes we long desire by engaging with biblical truths.
- It creates a spiritual atmosphere where God dwells. God’s word is His world, and if we’re to connect with God in any way, we must live in His word at all times (Colossians 3:16). If we want God to answer our prayers, speak to us about anything or to have an intimate relationship with God, then we’ll need to connect with God’s word. Remember that at the beginning of creation, there was first and foremost, an atmosphere where the spirit of God dwelled before God changed the world in alignment with his plan (Genesis 1:1). If we’re to fulfil destiny, align with God’s plan for our lives and walk in our purpose in life, then we need to create a spiritual atmosphere for the word of God to work in our lives.
- It helps us to memorise scriptures. A Christian without the hidden word of biblical truth in his or her heart is a powerless Christian. Scriptures help us to engage in spiritual battles and win (Ephesians 6:11). They help us to know the truth about our identity in Christ (John 1:1-2). They help us to understand who God is and to whose we belong. They inject us with the wisdom we need to survive and thrive in this world (Joshua 1:8). So memorising them helps us to speak the truth over ourselves when we’re making biblical declarations.
- It helps us align with God’s plan in our lives and this world. God has a plan for everyone (Jeremiah 29:11), but without us knowing this plan, we cannot connect with God. It is, therefore, imperative that we abide in the word of God so that God can stay with us (John 15:4-5). If we are first and foremost spiritual beings and whatever happens in the world today has already happened in the spirit realm. Then we need to connect to the spiritual world through the word of God, and it is by so doing that we can change the trajectory of our lives. When we align ourselves with what has already been declared in the heavens, we can benefit from it in the physical world.

November 22, 2020 at 4:35 amThank you for this posting. I have learnt to speak the truth about the word of God in a personalized way. I had sinus which and I would take cetrizine almost daily. So one day I made a declaration and I said that from today onwards Iam not going to take cetrizine. I declared that God you are Jehovah’s Rapha.(my healer) and I am not going to benefit the pharmaceuticals. From today onwards, I am healed and free of this condition. This declaration made a changed the situation. It is now six year when I free from this condition. So From that time, I learnt to personalize scripture and speak them out, directing to situations that I need to be changed and God has been faithful to his word.

November 22, 2020 at 1:21 pmThat’s an amazing testimony you just shared there, Hamya and most importantly getting healed by aligning your healing to God as your Jehovah Rapha. It is because of his name and your belief in him as your healer that you are healed. We really praise God and rejoice with you for his mercies over you. Keep speaking the word and you’ll see your world change for good. Every blessing.
