Declarations for a New Life

  Edna Lister often "prescribed" spoken Word declarations as self-treatment to change your habits, patterns of speech, idle words, and negative thinking, for healing and as an adjunct to prayer. She also recommended the use of spoken Word declarations as a form of "broadcasting" prayer for others, provided that no self or personal will tainted the declarations, and that each declaration opened with the word, "let" to legalize it in terms of divine law.
