The Calamari Queen Strikes Again! Jennifer Leclaire's 2019 False Decree Is Released!

By       (Page 2 of 3 pages)   1 comment

Very tricky teaching going on here. It is a good thing to read Scripture as being the final revealed will of the Lord. In that sense, Scripture is prophetic in that it may not have yet come to pass. Once again however we see the dismissal of prayer in an almost mocking sense. Jennifer now refers to prayer as "begging" or "bargaining" and insisting that those who engage in prayer do not do so from a place of faith. Where Jennifer truly goes off the rails however is in the usurpation of what belongs to God. She claims that God actually said this pile of unbiblical nonsense. That God said prayer is somehow a secondary act of the faithless. That the true believer simply declares and decrees. She of course reiterates that her biblical support for this come from the words of the shiftless comforter, Eliphaz. Jennifer continues:

Job 22:28 (KJV) assures us, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." Different translations shed interesting light on this verse. For example, the New International Version tells us, "What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways." The Contemporary English Version puts it this way: "He will do whatever you ask, and life will be bright." The Amplified Bible, Classic Edition expounds on this truth a little more: "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways." And The Message version assures, "You'll decide what you want and it will happen; your life will be bathed in light." -- Jennifer Leclaire

Using different translations is useless if your premise is unbiblical to begin with. Beloved, Job 22:28 does not assure us that we can declare and decree things and they shall be established. This is a mugging of Scripture. It is so wrong on so many levels. First of all Job is an historical narrative. While we can learn individual lessons from the book, the notion that every single verse applies directly into our own lives is a narcissistic view of Scripture. I understand that this is what is taught in the purpose driven churches of this country but the bible is actually not about us. The larger point is of course that Job 22:28 is Eliphaz speaking to Job inaccurately. It in no way, shape or fashion is meant to be interpreted to encourage the usurpation of the power of creation that belongs to God alone.

"We can decree the Word of God or the revealed will of God through prophecy. There is power in the Word of God. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His Word will never pass away (see Matt. 24:35). His Word is life to all those who find it and healing to the flesh (see Prov. 4:22). His Word will add length to your life and give you peace (see Prov. 3:1). The grass withers, and the flowers fade away, but the Word of God will stand forever (see Isa. 40:8). His Word is spirit and life (John 6:63). His Word is truth (see John 17:17). His Word is pure, like silver tried in a furnace, purified seven times (see Ps. 12:6). Hebrews 4:11-16 (MEV) explains: Let us labor therefore to enter that rest, lest anyone fall by the same pattern of unbelief. For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart. There is no creature that is not revealed in His sight, for all things are bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." -- Jennifer Leclaire

This is an important paragraph because it illustrates the truth that not everything said by a false prophet or teacher is necessarily false. The devil always mixes in just enough truth so that the lies go by less noticed or challenged. We can declare what God has said as a prophetic word. I take no issue with that but that is not what Jennifer Leclaire is actually saying. Beloved there is a stark difference between saying "God has said" and "I declare and decree." One keeps the focus on God, where it belongs, and the other usurps that attention onto ourselves. Jennifer concludes:

"Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us then come with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. A decree is more than a positive confession. A decree is "an order usually having the force of law," according to Merriam-Webster. God expects us to follow His decrees (see Lev. 18:4). The enemy is also bound to obey a prophetic declaration in the name of Jesus, the name at which every knee must bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord (see Rom. 14:11). In this year, God is demonstrating the power of a decree, because a decree can be the tipping point to a bowl filled with intercession." -- Jennifer Leclaire

Jennifer is correct that a decree is more than a positive confession. A decree has the force of law behind it. It is bad enough that a false prophet pretends to speak for God -- a decree speaks as if they are God. In biblical days there was little doubt about the force behind a prophetic word because God spoke directly to the prophet. If what was prophesied failed to come to pass then the people knew the man was a false prophet and death was the price for usurping the power of God. Modern day false prophets like Leclaire openly admit that a 65% accuracy rate means you are a good prophet! Then we see that Jennifer slipped in this whopper -- "The enemy is also bound to obey a prophetic declaration in the name of Jesus." This is simply not stated anywhere in Scripture. This reminds me of the arrogance of the seven sons of Sceva from Acts 19.

And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims." Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?" And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. -- Acts 19: 13-16 (ESV)
