He reminds us that spiritual life depends on what we declare, and that even decrees of death can be cancelled when we rely on faith, divine covenants, and the Word of God.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The pastor emphasizes the greatest spiritual code the spoken word. He explains that every word we say touches the spiritual world, and that our tongue can either bring death or life. This is why every Christian must learn to speak positively and declare God\u2019s promises especially during moments of prayer in church so that the Word does not \u201cpass by you\u201d without effect.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Using the biblical story of Hezekiah, who was \u201csick to the point of death,\u201d the pastor shows how deep supplication, supported by the prophet Isaiah, moved God to add more years to his life. He emphasizes that prayer of supplication, made with faith and perseverance, can open heaven and change the divine decree, just as it did for Hezekiah.<\/p>\r\n<h6>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The pastor reminds the church that every believer carries within them the covenants made with their spiritual ancestors (David and other fathers of faith) and these covenants can be invoked on behalf of their descendants. He encourages believers to take their rightful position\u2014as sons and daughters\u2014and to call upon these covenants in their prayers. The pastor sees himself as a servant who guides, teaches, and declares blessings, healing, and protection against spiritual and physical threats.<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h6>\r\n<\/h6>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p> <\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" original=\"PC9wPg==\"><\/p>In summary, the pastor urges each member of the church to speak life, to practice heartfelt supplication, and to remember the inheritance of divine covenants. Even situations that seem hopeless can be transformed through the power of spoken words and faith in God\u2019s intervention. May every believer leave strengthened, confident that their prayers can truly change the course of their destiny.<p><\/p><h6><\/h6><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":11778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28,29,27,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-messages","category-prophecy","category-teaching","category-winners-celebration"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11781"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11794,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11781\/revisions\/11794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swanministries.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
