Beyoncé also quoted Psalm 2:7, where both words are used: “I will pronounce the decree: The Lord has said.” Beyoncé pointed out that if read carefully, she will show that the decree is the part God said. The psalmist then promulgates this decree. The Lord`s Prayer according to the “decree and explain” movement (this is not really in the Bible)5. To make a claim; answer in the affirmative; As if he were declaring that the story was false. 2. In the law, to recite the reasons for the complaint against the defendant; As explained by the applicant in guilt or intrusion. 6. c. i.) set out the applicant`s plea in legal form; As the applicant explains, he committed an intrusion. Acts 13:41 Behold, ye arm yourselves, marvel, and perish; for I am working on a work in your days, a work that you will not believe in any way if it is explained to you. (Root in WEB KJV WEY ASV DBY WBS YLT RSV) The Bible simply does not teach that we have the authority or power to decree and explain that things happen. Only God has such power.
Instead, we should ask God to provide for our daily needs and satisfy our needs. One is humble, the other is presumptuous. One is biblical and timeless, the other is just the latest fad. According to Dictionary.com, the decree is defined as “a formal and authoritative order having the force of law; a court decision or order. Google`s definition includes “a mandate; Proclamation; Edit; order; an official order issued by a judicial authority. Other definitions include “explain emphatically; to show; Disclosure; manifest; and to explain his position in a controversy.” Job 22:28 says, “You shall also prescribe something, and it shall be consecrated to you, and the light shall shine upon your ways. Many of us have read this passage without understanding the power of what this word of God really means. Let`s go even further. Another scripture that seems to teach and proclaim the decree is Psalm 2:7 – “I will pronounce the decree: The Lord has said. If you read this verse carefully, the decree is the part God said.
The psalmist then promulgates this decree. In other words, we cannot prescribe anything, only God can. However, we can declare it. Declare is a common word used in the Psalms to mean praise, boasting, proclamation. Essentially, this verse teaches us to brag about God`s decrees, to tell everyone about them. This is the biblical meaning of the statement. In Matthew 28:18, Jesus declares, “Behold, all authority in heaven and on earth is given to me (Jesus). Go and make disciples.” Somehow we read these scriptures and mentally insert the line “and I give you this authority.” But read it again, it doesn`t say that. He did not say that he would give us that authority.
5. v. i.) to make an open and express statement or confession; to proclaim themselves; — often with or against; As if the victory against the Allies was explained. Now let`s see what the decree means. The English definition of the decree is “an explanation of the truth that carries the authority of a court order.” A good example of this is when you go to court and make a judgment or judgment. It cannot be ignored because the court issued the decree or statement. A better known expression would be “the court has rendered a judgment”. The words “decree” and “explain” are used together in Christian prayers and mean two distinct things.
Let`s take a look at the definition of declare. The word declare comes from the Hebrew word “ashvah,” which means “to make known” or “to create an accounting.” If someone has ever visited another country, you may be familiar with the word “declare.” It is used by customs brokers upon your return (to the United States). You ask international travelers, “Do you have anything to declare?” They ask you to detail any funds or goods you bought during your trip and bring them home. Let us now make some necessary distinctions. Everything you say is technically an explanation. Declare is an English word and there is nothing sinful or unbiblical about it.
