Words have great power. Even the Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” When you speak Scriptural declarations, for example, I declare affirmations over yourself, and you align with God’s promises. Then, you also invite His blessings into your life. For instance, you can declare Genesis 1:26 over yourself when struggling with negative thoughts. You can say, I declare that I am created in the image of God, after His likeness. This way, you affirm your identity in God, boost your confidence and overcome negative thoughts about your identity.

No wonder Joel Osteen emphasizes in his book, *I Declare: 31 Declarations to Speak Over Your Life*, that “You are where you are today because of what you’ve been saying about yourself.” In other words, your words shape your future, influence your mindset, and unlock divine favour. This uplifting I Declare book invites readers to claim and celebrate God’s blessings in their lives. Similarly, Bishop T.D. Jakes once said, “If you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.” This statement means that when you declare God’s Word over your life, you activate His supernatural power, even in seemingly impossible situations.

Nevertheless, there is a principle behind it all, which, if you adhere to it, can activate God’s power more quickly and experience lasting transformation. Click here to read the rules of biblical declarations, emphasizing that speaking life leads to transformation.
