Collins
has received prophetic messages from God to encourage believers. He
has divided the material into 90 days of readings. Each daily reading
includes a Scripture verse, a message related to that verse,
additional Scripture references, a prayer, and statements to decree
and declare.
The
messages Collins includes are written as if God is speaking to the
reader. It is an awesome responsibility to write as if God is
speaking. I was pleased to see that the messages generally follow
Scriptural truths about being loved, protected, being more than a
conqueror, etc. Some are admonitions, such as the one where the
reader is commanded to get wisdom and understanding and another to be
grounded in the Word.
Some
of Collins' messages I think might be a bit much. “Be confident
that you can do whatever you make up your mind to do.” (91) I would
prefer messages concentrating more on finding out what God wants me
to do rather than what I make up my mind to do. I am a little leery
about some of the decrees. For example: “I decree and declare that
monies, bonuses, benefits, favor with men, and blessings will come to
me now in Jesus' name.” (91) “I decree and declare that I am
healed and I am a miracle worker.” (212) I know there are some
Christians who believe that making statements creates reality. This
book seems to be aimed at such believers.
I
recommend this book to charismatic Christians who believe that
declaring something makes it so.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
