Bottom line:
One can see there are many different meanings to the same word being used, so if one
wanted to get the full meaning they would have to do a word check to see what was being
applied in that Scripture. Doing this you get a fuller understanding. 2 Tim. 2:15

People like to use big words without always knowing the full meaning or the application of
the word.
Now we will hear a lot of “I decree and declare----” This is what led me to
a word study looking up 144 Scriptures, to see just was being declared and decreed, and
how the word was used.

Translated into English the meanings of the words would be:
“I (speak, command, warn, promise) and (to be eye-catching, make known, confess) ----”

It turns out to be a good word study and an eye-opener. We are to speak G-d's words, let us do so with understanding.
