Speaker 1: greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, and I'm very happy that I can bring us God's Word based on Acts 3, verse 6.
Speaker 1: The theme is open door declarations, and in this verse we have a man who makes a declaration that changes another man's life.
Speaker 1: And let me say that the words you speak, the declarations you make, we'll either make, build or destroy somebody's else's life, and my prayer is that you and I will train ourselves to make declarations that change people's lives for the better.
Speaker 1: And so this scripture is Acts 3, verse 6.
Speaker 1: And the Bible says then Peter said silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give to you In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk.
Speaker 1: That is a declaration that Peter made over another man's life, and this declaration he released reversed a crippling situation and the guy was able to come back to his feet and be able to run around and praise God.
Speaker 1: Now everyone you speak is going to have an impact, and I thank God for Peter, and my prayer today is that many of us will be like Peter, who make declarations that reverse crippling situations in people's lives, instead of declarations that cripple people, because they are some that completely make people worse and cripple their financial situation, cripple their health, cripple their relationships because of the declarations we make.
Speaker 1: And so Peter makes a declaration, an open door declaration Number one this is a declaration in the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: Every declaration does it qualify to be said to be in the name of Jesus, carrying the value and quality of our Lord, jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: He made a declaration in the name of Jesus and I want you to know that the name of Jesus is a very powerful name, very powerful name.
Speaker 1: You may be a weak person, you might feel like you are not strong, but when you invoke that name in that situation, in that family, your family, in your financial situation, regarding your day, and you just make a declaration and say this day is going to be good In Jesus name, I'm telling you, that kind of open door declaration In Jesus name just causes doors to swing open.
Speaker 1: But secondly, this is a declaration with authority.
Speaker 1: Now, when Peter makes this declaration, he is not chanting and he is not speaking generic language.
Speaker 1: It is very specific, he is even commanding.
Speaker 1: He is speaking with authority and he is saying in the name of Jesus Christ, of Nazareth Walk.
Speaker 1: This guy had been a cripple for a long time.
Speaker 1: His cripple situation made him a beggar.
Speaker 1: He even used to sit at the beautiful gate borrowing money, borrowing money, and even on this day he was trying to borrow money from John, peter and John.
Speaker 1: But there was a declaration that was going to change his life completely.
Speaker 1: Peter declares with authority, and he is very specific, and he is saying walk.
Speaker 1: It is even a command.
Speaker 1: I command you to walk, take authority every day, command your day, say your day is going to be good.
Speaker 1: You know, because the Psalm he said this is the day the Lord has made.
Speaker 1: I will rejoice and be glad in it and I'm telling you your day is going to be good because you've commanded it.
Speaker 1: But finally, it's a declaration that brings glory to God.
Speaker 1: Declaration that brings glory to God Because of what Peter did and released the word that changed a crippling situation.
Speaker 1: A testimony was made and this guy, his feet were strengthened, His ankles were strengthened.
Speaker 1: Peter stretched his hand, lifted him up and this guy suddenly went running, jumping and praising God.
Speaker 1: Everybody saw what the Lord is able to do, just because of that declaration.
Speaker 1: Now, when you make a declaration, there will be a manifestation of the same.
Speaker 1: People will see.
Speaker 1: You will see what God is able to do, the power to change your destinies in your tongue.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and make an open door declaration, like Peter makes in Acts, chapter 3, verse 6.
Speaker 1: And tell me whether or not there will be a testimony.
Speaker 1: I know God will come through.
Speaker 1: May God be with you as you make these declarations and we change our world in Jesus' name, amen.
