PRAYER, DECLARATION, AND “DECREEING PRAYER”
1 PRAYER, DECLARATION, AND DECREEING PRAYER Position PaperRev. William Hyer, Academic DeanIn recent years, a number of people in the Church have adopted the teaching of decreeing prayer or simply decreeing. This is the belief that believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Church by its very nature, have been given authority and power to decree, and that this can be done in the form of prayer. Decreeing prayer is conceived of as an authoritative command or law issued by a believer to cause something to happen, most generally to bring what is in heaven into the earthly realm. Often decreeing prayer is spoken of and used in conjunction with a declaration. Because of this, it is the practice of some to begin or say in their prayer, I decree and It is believed that through these words, and specifically decreeing, that Christians have authority and power to cause what is spoken to take place.
Christians have authority to have access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:18: Hebrew 10:19-22), we have no authority or power to cause a prayer to be answered. This is demonstrated in the Biblical language of God hearing or not hearing our prayer, and even hiding His face from us because of our sin.
