Declarations Of Our Identity In Christ - Part 4/4

TeachingCOH ProclamationsDeclarations
Written By Paul Rouke

Throughout Scripture, both the Old Testament and New Testament, God reveals to us our identity in Christ.

Did you know that there are over 300 declarations you can make over yourself regarding your personal identity in Christ?

This is part 4/4 of a 4 part series:

Never, ever underestimate the POWER and LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT when you take God’s Word and SPEAK IT OUT LOUD.

There is POWER in the tongue to SPEAK LIFE or speak death. SPEAK LIFE over yourself and others every single day. Destroy the lies of the enemy, who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came 2000 years ago to give you and I LIFE AND AN ABUNDANCE OF LIFE.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:21

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 10:10

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:11

Suggested Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, as I step into Your Holy presence, standing before You in the Courts of Heaven, I declare and decree by faith that as I release these declarations of my identity in Christ, there will be a hundredfold harvest in my life. I trust that Your Word will bear abundant fruit in my life, today and every day going forward through to eternity.

I also stand on what is written in Ephesians 3 verse 20, that You are the One who is able, through Your mighty power at work within me, to do infinitely more than all I could ever ask or imagine. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

I bow in awe of Your faithfulness, Your Grace, Your Mercy and Your Unfailing Love, declaring Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord God Almighty, the Holy One of Israel. May all that I do each day by Your Spirit honor Your holiness and give You and You alone ALL the Glory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Why Not Declare With Fellow Believers?

Do you know that Jesus said “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.”? Matthew 18:19

I encourage you to speak with one or more of your brothers and sisters, and proposed that you come together, whether in person or on a video call, and take turns in speaking out these individual declarations over yourselves.

Simply replace the “I…” with “We…”

I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will be upon each of you, and each of you will declare, decree and proclaim God’s Living Word over yourselves with a holy boldness and that your individual faith will be stirred and rise up, more than it ever has done before.

Suggested Opening Prayer For Your Gathering

Heavenly Father, as we step into Your Holy presence, standing before You in the Courts of Heaven, we declare and decree by faith that as we release these declarations of our identity in Christ, there will be a hundredfold harvest in all our lives. I trust that Your Word will bear abundant fruit in our lives, today and every day going forward through to eternity.

We also stand on what is written in Ephesians 3 verse 20, that You are the One who is able, through Your mighty power at work within us, to do infinitely more than all we could ever ask or imagine. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

We bow in awe of Your faithfulness, Your Grace, Your Mercy and Your Unfailing Love, declaring Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord God Almighty, the Holy One of Israel. May all that we do each day by Your Spirit honor Your holiness and give You and You alone ALL the Glory.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I love you.
