Declare Jesus Is Lord

September 29, 2025 By Mark Molinoff

Declare Jesus is Lord Every Day Throughout the Day

The Power of a Simple Declaration

The Christian life is not just about knowing facts or practicing good behavior. It’s about a dynamic relationship with God. At the center of this relationship is a simple but powerful confession: “Jesus is Lord.” This phrase isn’t just a theological label or a church slogan—it’s a bold and spiritual declaration that pushes back the darkness. In moments of confusion, fear, or spiritual resistance, one of the most effective things you can do is declare Jesus is Lord.

In fact, the great evangelist Watchman Nee reminds us that this very declaration delights the heart of God and breaks the grip of the enemy. When everything feels chaotic and prayer feels impossible, your voice still matters. Your faith still matters. And your words—especially these three—carry eternal weight.

Watchman Nee on “Jesus Is Lord”

He begins his devotional by quoting 1 Corinthians 12:3:

“No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.” – 1 Corinthians 12:3

Then he states:

“We know that there is one declaration God loves to hear from us, which is, that we say to Him, ‘You Are.’ And we say to the Lord, ‘You are Lord!’ This important word, that ‘Jesus is Lord!’, can be a most powerful declaration. Sometimes when things are in disarray and Satan mocks you by saying that you are now helpless, all you need do—even if you cannot pray at such a time—is simply to declare. You proclaim aloud: ‘Jesus is Lord!’ And you shall instantly see that entangled things are nothing and that Satan’s mocking is nothing. When you are being severely tried, you should rise up and speak this word. Whether it is in your own room or in a prayer meeting, you should say, ‘Jesus is Lord!’—by which you are telling Him: ‘You Are!’ The Lord loves to hear such a declaration, and we shall be strengthened inwardly as a result.”

These words, according to Nee, are more than a theological affirmation—they are an act of spiritual warfare, a prayer of surrender, and a shout of victory all rolled into one.

Why This Declaration Matters

When Paul wrote that “no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit,” he wasn’t referring to the ability to vocalize the phrase. Anyone can say words. But to truly mean them—to align your heart with heaven and boldly confess Christ as your King—is a Spirit-enabled act of faith.

Declaring Jesus is Lord is:

  • A reminder to yourself that God reigns even when life feels out of control.
  • Rebuke to the enemy, who wants to convince you that you’re powerless.
  • A cry of surrender that invites God’s presence and power into your circumstance.

This is not magical thinking. It’s spiritual truth in action.

Real-World Moments to Declare Jesus Is Lord

Consider the times when life overwhelms you—when you feel choked by anxiety, weighed down by grief, or caught in a whirlwind of decisions. These are the very moments when declaring Jesus is Lord can anchor your soul.

Example 1:

A woman recently lost her job unexpectedly. Bills were stacking up, and she felt like she was drowning. But instead of spiraling into despair, she stood in her living room and shouted, “Jesus is Lord!” Tears flowed, but her spirit lifted. That night, she slept in peace for the first time in weeks.

Example 2:

A man battling depression found that when he couldn’t pray, he could still whisper one thing: “Jesus is Lord.” At first, it felt small. But day after day, that whisper became louder, firmer, more confident. His heart began to heal—not because of a formula, but because God met him in that declaration.

Declare Jesus Is Lord in the Small Moments Too

Sometimes we think declarations like this are only for emergencies, but they’re just as meaningful in the mundane. You can declare Jesus is Lord:

  • Before you start your workday
  • When you drop your child off at school
  • In the car before a difficult conversation
  • After reading the news and feeling overwhelmed
  • When you’re folding laundry or walking the dog

Each time you do, you’re not just affirming a fact—you’re inviting God’s sovereignty into your moment, your mood, your mind.

The Lord Loves to Hear From Us

There’s something beautiful and intimate about Watchman Nee’s insight that God loves to hear us say, “You are.” When we say, “Jesus is Lord,” we’re not only resisting the enemy—we’re giving pleasure to the heart of our Creator.

Imagine that. In a world full of noise, doubt, and distraction, your voice lifted in faith cuts through the chaos. It blesses the Lord. It declares your allegiance. It brings heaven near. That’s why it’s not just a statement—it’s worship.

Strength for the Weary

Nee also highlights how this declaration strengthens us. When you feel too exhausted to read Scripture, when your soul is dry and you’re unsure what to pray, this phrase becomes a lifeline.

Jesus is Lord reminds us that:

  • We are not alone.
  • The battle belongs to Him.
  • Our strength comes from surrender.

It’s not about willpower. It’s about realigning our hearts to the One who never changes, never fails, and never leaves.

Call to Action: Make It Your Confession

Have you experienced a moment when simply saying “Jesus is Lord” shifted your mindset or your situation? Or maybe you’re in a place where those words feel hard to say right now. That’s okay. You’re not alone.

Here’s a challenge:

This week, find three moments—big or small—when you intentionally pause and declare Jesus is Lord. Say it out loud. Say it in a whisper. Say it in your heart. And then watch what God does.

We’d love to hear your story. Have you ever been strengthened by this declaration? How has saying “Jesus is Lord” helped you through a difficult time?

Share in the comments below, and let’s encourage one another in faith. Together, let’s keep declaring the truth that changes everything.
