Decree and Dominate | Tim Sheets

There is a significant convergence happening within the faith community, as decrees and prayers from the kingly ekklesia are now coming to fruition, many of which will manifest in the next two months. A finishing anointing has been activated by the Holy Spirit, which apostles, prophets, and prophetic intercessors are beginning to recognize. This is a brooding anointing that is preparing to birth essential prophetic words and promises. I prophetically sense that breakthroughs are imminent, much like the Israelites crossing into the promised land. After 40 years of waiting, it was finally their time. The promise was stewarded, first by their fathers and then by them, and now the time for fulfillment has arrived. Likewise, there are promises that are now coming to their appointed time, and they will come to pass if we align with them.

As God’s people, we must align ourselves with these promises in both our words and actions. We must agree in faith and decree it. It’s crucial to pray birthing prayers, as I’ve discussed before. We cannot afford to be negative or complacent, as this would only prolong our journey through the wilderness. This is why it’s essential to understand faith decrees.

Many people ask what a faith decree is, and it’s important to clarify this concept. While it may be new to some, the Book of Job, the oldest book in the Bible, provides insight into governing authority. Written by Moses, one of history’s greatest leaders, the Book of Job reveals principles of authority that God’s people are meant to function in. Moses, who also wrote the first five books of the Bible, laid the groundwork for understanding divine government. In these texts, laws were established, principles for good society were defined, and ways to conduct culture were given, with some things permitted and others forbidden. The Ten Commandments, at the heart of these writings, are a foundation of good governance.

Moses understood authority in both natural and spiritual realms. He served as a leader in Egypt for about 20 years and then as a kingdom leader for 40 years. Trained to be a Pharaoh, Moses was well-versed in exercising authority. God even referred to Moses as His friend, speaking to him face-to-face. This reveals that governing authority is not inherently bad; it’s all about how it’s used.

In his first book, Moses highlights a key principle that Jesus reiterated to His disciples in Matthew 16. This principle is one that the church today is being called to embrace—faith decrees. As heirs of Christ, born again through His spirit, we are entrusted with spiritual authority to function in His name. Just as Moses’ authority impacted the natural realm, so does the authority given to us by King Jesus.

Moses wrote about a powerful principle that reinforces the dominion mandate established in Genesis 1:26. In the beginning, God declared, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the earth.” The word “dominion” is derived from the Hebrew word radah, meaning to rule, reign, or have complete authority. It also implies responsibility and oversight over creation.

In Job 22:28, we see Job articulating this powerful principle: “You will decree a thing, and it will be established for you.” Jesus also emphasized this idea, stating that “all power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” after His resurrection. This authority, given to us by Jesus, is to be used in His name, affecting both the spiritual and natural realms.
