SID: Now, the thing that I want to understand is, explain what is the difference between mere words and a decree?
BRENDA: Absolutely. Well, here is the thing, now, it’s important because we know as believers we should talk in alignment with God. So the beginning is learning not to let negative things come from your mouth. And I want to give you that. But the second part to it, Sid, is not… is eliminating the negative words because you know what, we both know this scripture is quoted often, “Death in life from the power of the tongue. Those that love it, eat the fruit thereof.” Well, really, it’s whichever one you love to speak the most. So it’s not enough just to eliminate negative words. Then we have to learn to speak right words.
We speak the Word of God. But then there is another level, which I call commanding authoritative words, creative power in words. It’s the same as when God gave the command, the earth was without form and void. God gave the command and said, “Let there be.” Or if you read it in the literal it’s, “Light be.” So He commanded light. This is how God has wanted us to [crosstalk 00:05:43].
SID: There was no wiggle room.
BRENDA: No.
SID: They say, “If you’ve willed God.”
BRENDA: Right.
SID: No.
BRENDA: Right.
SID: “Light be.”
BRENDA: That’s exactly right.
SID: Okay.
BRENDA: That’s it. And so there’s a command. And I really feel like this is where God wants to propel us, that we start putting authoritative orders out in the realm of the Spirit. If the enemy is coming against your family, no, devil, get your hands off my children, get your hands off their mind. I break your power. I command every spell, every hex, every vex, all oppression, all depression to go for my children to go for my spouse. I break the power of rebellion.
We have to get bold and start commanding like the patriarchs of the Bible, like the early apostles and put those out at their orders into the realm of the Spirit that the devil, because they’re backed by the Word of God, he has to obey.
SID: What do you envision occurs when someone is speaking, proclaiming God’s Word, especially those anointed prayers you’ve written out, and but really, I mean, really proclaiming it with declaring it? What is going on in the visible world?
BRENDA: Well, I can promise you this, if the curtain could be torn back and we could see what goes on behind this world that we can touch and feel, if we could see what happens behind, we would even feel more victorious than we even do just knowing what God has said, what He has promised, because the demons run in terror at the sound of our word.
Sid, I’m reminded of a scripture in Luke the 10th chapter when the 70 came back to Jesus and said, “Lord Jesus, even the demons are subject. They’re subject to us in your name.” And of course, the Bible says, “Jesus rejoiced.” They realize how were they subject? They were subject to what they were saying, that the authority behind the name of Yeshua, behind the name of Jesus, they were subject to that, so if we could see how the devil responses. The last thing he wants us to do is give him an order. That’s the last thing.
He wants to try to get us to speak what he prompts us to say. That’s why I said at the beginning, don’t become the devil’s prophet. Prophesy for God. Prophesy what God has told you. And it’s not a matter of feeling it, but the demons run in terror when they hear. Think about the angels. Psalm 103 said, “They hearken to the voice of His word.” So if angels are hearkening, all the more, think about what demons have to do. They have to sit back and they have to respond to what we decree.
