5 year old prays at the Potter’s House -Bishop TD Jakes.mpg

Isaiah Jackson prays, he decrees and declares or prophesies (w/subtitles), as Ezekiel was commanded to in Ezekiel 37:4, when he told the dry bones to live. There are some brothers & sisters who would contest that the teachers of this young boy are in the wrong. According to the Word of God we are to have an abundant faith, we’re told if we have the faith of a mustard seed we can tell a mountain to be removed into the sea… It goes without saying that it is the Father’s power who accomplishes this, never the less authority was given to us:

Matthew 21:21
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen.

Again, Jesus said this:

John 14:12
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

John 14:13-14
Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

Matthew 21:22
“And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

James 1:5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Wisdom fits into the category of “everything.”

It goes without saying that none of these things will happen outside of Jesus’ name

James 4:8-12
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Do not speak against one another, brethren He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

Matthew 18:18-19
“Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.
“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”

^This shows again, authority to “Declare and decree”, and how do the people agree if they don’t do corporate prayer?

What matters is the heart of the person, he did say “in Jesus’ name.” So if his heart is for million dollar incomes and multi-million dollar ideas, strategies etc.. to further fund missions and other such things then he seems on point. The boy wasn’t worried about doing as the hypocrites do, he’s a boy…

Matthew 6:5
When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

This serves as an exhortation, this young 5 year old is prophesying over his brothers and sister’s in Christ.

For those who assume his or his teacher’s hearts are in it for different motives, be careful brothers and sisters… That is for God to judge.
