When we make a decree, we are speaking forth a type of declaration. The Hebrew word for “decree” in this passage is gazar, a primitive root word meaning “to cut down or off, (figuratively) to destroy, divide, exclude, or decide.” Dear believer, think about it. When you declare God’s Word and speak forth His promises concerning your life and future, you are cutting off the voice of the enemy. Yes! When you decree your promises, you cut down the enemy; you cut off his plans and you exclude yourself from them. Isn’t that awesome?
