RESTORATION OF GOD'S GLORY (9)
--- Reigning With Jesus over All Things
We have all been made kings and priests by the blood of Jesus.
As priests, we pray.
As kings, we make commands and decrees and declarations.
As priests and kings, we can rule over all things with Jesus.
As a king, we decree on earth what has been decreed in heaven.
Whatever God has revealed to us from heaven---His will, His plans, His secrets, His revelation--- we can decree on this earth.
Jesus said that whatever we decree on earth, God will do it for us.
And when God does what we decree on earth, we build God’s Kingdom on earth---in our lives, our families, our church our workplace, and our nation.
And when God does what we declare and decree with His Almighty power, every work of the evil one is reversed and nullified.
In this way, we can rule over all things and all situations with Jesus.
1. We have been made kings and priests by the blood of Jesus to reign with Jesus on this earth
REVELATION 5:9-10 NKJ
9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.”
The blood of Jesus has made us kings and priests to our God, so that we can reign with Jesus as priests and kings on this earth.
A priest prays.
A king makes commands and declarations and decrees.
As we serve God as a priest and a king, we shall reign with Jesus over all things and all situations.
2. As a king, we decree on earth what has been decreed in heaven
MATTHEW 16:19 NAS, NIV MARGIN
19 "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."
[Bind and loose = Make a decree; forbid,
permit; Wikipedia]
“To bind and loose” is a figure of speech, and it means “To make a decree, to forbid or permit” (Wikipedia, Binding and Loosing)
So we bind on earth what has been bound in heaven.
And we loose on earth what has been loosed in heaven.
In other words, we decree on earth what has been decreed in heaven.
We decree only the decrees of heaven
This is also taught in the Lord’s Prayer, where we are to pray and decree only the will of the Father in heaven. (MATTHEW 6:10)
And Jesus Himself testified that what He said and did was only what He saw and heard from the Father in heaven. (JOHN 5:19)
Whatever God has revealed to us from heaven---His will, His plans, His secrets, His revelation--- we can decree on this earth.
3. Jesus said that whatever we decree on earth, God will do it for us
MARK 11:23 ESV
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that WHAT HE SAYS will come to pass, IT WILL BE DONE FOR HIM.
MATTHEW 18:19
19 "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, IT WILL BE DONE FOR THEM by my Father in heaven.
Whatever God has revealed to us from heaven---His will, His plans, His secrets, His revelation--- we can decree on this earth.
And when God does what we decree on earth, God will do what we say.
And in this way, we build God’s Kingdom on this earth---in our lives, our families, our church our workplace, and our nation.
God will do what you declare and decree, whether you are doing it alone or with one or two others.
You do not need large numbers of people to pray to get your miracle from God.
This is a pentecostal and charismatic tradition that promotes doubt and fear.
4. When we pray as a priest, God answers our prayers instantly the moment we pray, not tomorrow or next week or next year
MARK 11:24 ESV
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, and it will be yours.
When we pray, we must believe that we have received what we asked for.
We must believe that our miracle has come in the spirit realm.
The miracle has come the very moment we ask God, not tomorrow, or next week, next month, or next year.
Jesus said that if we believe that we have received our miracle in the spirit, then we will see the miracle in the natural.
We must not ask for the same thing again and again.
This is unbelief in God’s word in Mark 21:24.
This is how most believers show their unbelief after they prayed.
And without faith, God cannot manifest His miracles in their lives.
5. After we have prayed, we must declare and decree that our miracle has come, and God will do what we declare
MARK 11:23-24 ESV
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 THEREFORE I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
The word “Therefore” at the beginning of verse 24 teaches us that after we have prayed, and believed that our miracle has come, we must declare that the miracle has come.
It is not an option.
We must declare and decree that our miracle has come.
If we do not declare by faith that our miracle has come, we will not see it manifest.
Eg. By the wounds of Jesus, I have been healed.
I have a good husband, a good wife, and good children.
I have a good boss and good colleagues and good customers.
6. And when God manifests our miracle according to what we declare and decree, all the works of the enemy are reversed and nullified by God’s power
ISAIAH 14:27
27 For Yehovah of Hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
ISAIAH 43:13 NIV
13 Yes, and from ancient days I am He. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?
PROVERBS 21:30 NIV
30 There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against Yehovah.
ROMANS 8:31
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
When we declare and decree God’s blessings, He will do what we declare, and He will nullify all the works of the enemy in our lives, our families, our ministry, our workplace, and in our nation.
In this way, we build his Kingdom on earth through our decrees and declarations.
In this way, we rule over all things and all situations with Jesus.
7. Decreeing the Decrees of Heaven
In Jesus' name, I declare and decree that .....
1. I have been made a king and a priest by the blood of Jesus to reign with Jesus on this earth.
(REVELATION 5:9-10 NKJ)
2. As a king, I decree on earth what has been decreed in heaven.
(MATTHEW 16:19 NAS, NIV MARGIN; MATTHEW 6:10; JOHN 5:19)
3. Jesus said that whatever I decree on earth, God will do it for me.
(MARK 11:23 ESV; MATTHEW 18:19)
4. When I pray as a priest, God answers my prayers instantly the moment I pray, not tomorrow or next week or next year.
(Mark 11:24 ESV)
5. After I have prayed, I must declare and decree that my miracle has come, and God will do what I declare.
(MARK 11:23-24 ESV)
6. And when God manifests my miracle according to what I declare and decree, all the works of the enemy are reversed and nullified by God’s power.
(ISAIAH 14:27; ISAIAH 43:13 NIV; PROVERBS 21:30 NIV; ROMANS 8:31)
7. In this way, I rule over all things and all situations with Jesus through my prayers and my declarations and decrees, ruling with Jesus as a king and priest on this earth.
(REVELSATION 5:9-10)

A TESTIMONY
"God gave me great favour and success in my workplace, in spite of the many challenges I faced"
SISTER CCC:
"I want to testify of the miracles of God in my life when He showed me great favour and gave me great success in my workplace, in spite of the many challenges that I faced.
"When I was pregnant a few months back, I had morning sickness and vomited a lot.
I could not go to work and stayed at home.
"I asked God to help me in touching my customers to order my products, which I then supplied to them through my head office.
I decreed every day that I will have great sales, good customers, and favour from all men.
"Though I worked from home and did no sales outside my home, my sales doubled for many months.
Because of my outstanding sales, with doubling of my sales 3 months in a row, I was given a one month's pay as an incentive.
"After all my hard work from home, I felt led to take a vacation to rest and be refreshed in Australia.
I asked the Lord to stop my vomiting and morning sickness, and He did it the very next day.
"On my flight to Australia and in my stay in that country, I had great favour everywhere I went, from the airport staff, flight crews, immigration officers, hotel staff, and from everyone I met.
I had been declaring that I will receive favour from everyone I meet before I left Malaysia for the vacation.
"After my baby was born, I had to stay at home again because of the Covid 19 lockdown.
Once again, the Lord showed me extraordinary favour.
Fifty percent of the employees in my company's production department were asked to go on unpaid leave.
"The sales team had their salary cut in half.
I am a member of the sales team.
However, I was paid my full salary, the only one in my sales team to receive such great favour.
"To God be the glory for all His great miracles in my life!!!"
(Part of the above testimony was given during a Sunday Morning Service.)
Shalom.
