To Decree & Declare, or Not?

I asked a question and challenged fellow believers to prove with scripture the validity of the doctrine of "decree & declare". This false doctrine seems to have come from the Word of Faith movement and has now spread like wildfire throughout charismatic & Pentecostal churches. This teaching has been made popular by celebrity status preachers and is partner with the teaching that by faith we can put a "demand" on God to answer and perform our petitions by using God's own word to do so. The latter mentioned teaching gives the impression that we can hold God hostage with the Bible and boss him around based on what we believe he said, and the former leads me to believe that we have harnessed some magical word power that gives us the ability to change any circumstance with the words of our mouths like GOD. The primary scripture used to support the doctrine and now popular practice of "Decree & Declare" is found in JOB 22:28.

PRAYER MADE EASY

The misconceptions and errant traditions about prayer have hindered many from having a much more productive and powerful prayer life. Prayer is a "dialogue" and not a "monologue"; which means it's a two way conversation between you and the LORD. God does talk back. There is no special position required to be in, no bureaucracy of men to go through, and it is not necessary to call GOD by all of his divine names & titles, but simply begin by calling Him "Father" and ending by asking in the name of "Yeshua/Jesus" will suffice. The length of time isn't as important as your sincerity and faith, you don't have to be perfect to approach GOD, you don't have to wait for a special time, and you don't have to moan or be as eloquent and dramatic as someone else. You can stutter, be grammatically incorrect, talk with a lisp, or come straight out of the country or the hood, but you must be sincere and honest in what you are saying and not be playing. Prayer is not a "performance" to impress God.
