Kingly Power, Decrees and Dominion
Part 4
This 12-part course explores the profound biblical truth that every believer in Christ is called to live as royalty and as part of God’s holy priesthood. Rooted in Scriptures such as 1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6, and Ephesians 2:6, this course helps students understand both the identity and responsibility that come with being “kings and priests unto God.” Participants will discover how spiritual authority, Christ-centered character, and servant-leadership flow from their identity as sons and daughters of the King.
Through teaching, reflection, and practical application, students will gain a deeper revelation of what it means to represent God’s Kingdom in everyday life. Each session builds on the last, guiding believers to step confidently into their royal identity while cultivating the heart of a priest—one who worships, intercedes, and ministers God’s presence to others.
What's up family, we are in video number four and today we're stepping into something special that many believers never fully understand and because of that they live far beneath their spiritual inheritance. Today the teaching is called Kingly Power, Decrees, Dominion, and Authority over Darkness. And I want you to hear this by the Spirit. You cannot walk in priesthood of intimacy without stepping into kingship, the kingship of dominion. I'm going to say it again. You cannot walk in the priesthood of intimacy without stepping into the kingship of dominion. Priests minister to God, but kings enforce the will of God. Let me say it again for the people in the back. Priests minister to God, but kings enforce the will of God. And in Christ, you are both. Kingly power begins with identity, guys. Before we talk about decrees, authority, and warfare, we have to start here. We cannot walk in dominion if we still see ourselves as a slave, a victim, or someone under Satan's feet. Through Christ Jesus, you are born again, born from above, seated with Christ, a royal priest, kings and priests unto God, ambassadors with legal authority, carriers of His name, character, nature, power, authority. Revelation 1-6 says, He made us kings and priests to His God and Father. Not will make us if we do good works. Not will make us if we don't sin. Not will make us if we've been saved for 15 years. He already has made us. It already happened at the born-again experience. So the moment you're born again, you didn't just get forgiveness. You got placement and authority. So what is kingly authority? Kingly authority is the ability to enforce heaven's will here on earth, resist and overthrow
demonic powers, speak decrees according to God's word, bind what heaven forbids, loose what heaven permits, release divine order, destroy spiritual opposition. When a king speaks, he doesn't just wish. He decrees. I'm going to say it again. When a king speaks, he doesn't just wish, oh, I just wish for this to happen. No, he decrees. When a king commands in the name of Jesus, he doesn't just hope, he enforces. When a king confronts darkness, he doesn't negotiate. He cast that demon out. This is the authority Jesus has given you. Luke 10, 19, behold, I give you authority over all the power of the enemy. Not some, not most, all. The devil has power. He does, but you have authority. Power must bow to authority. Priesthood is intimacy. Kingship is enforcement. I want to give you guys this example real quick. Does a gang, a local gang in a high crime area have power? They do. They have guns. They have structure. They have money. They have drugs. All these things that give them power. Does a police force have power? They do. They have guns. They're essentially like a gang because they're together.
They're a force. They're a branch. They have money, right? Very similar, but there's a difference. The police have authority and the gang doesn't. So when the kingdom of God goes against the demonic kingdom, it's like the police force or the U.S. military going against a local gang. We have authority over all the power of the enemy. So the priest goes into God's presence and the king brings God's presence into battle. Read the Old Testament. When you read the scriptures, it was always the presence of God that brought down the enemies. The Lord was trying to teach us this since the beginning. The priest hears. The king enforces. The priest receives the will of God in prayer. The king makes the will of God happen. You pray as a priest, but you war as a king. This is why Jesus didn't just pray for people. He commanded sickness to leave. He rebuked storms. He drove out demons. He released decrees. He didn't say, Father, if you feel like it, maybe please tell this storm to calm down. He said, peace be still. That is a king speaking. And what is a decree? A decree is a kingly declaration spoken with the authority of heaven. It's not just positive thinking. It's not just emotional hype or if I pray this prayer real loud or cry, it'll happen.
It's not manifesting. A decree is rooted in scripture, authorized by God's nature, character, and will, backed by heaven. Enforced in the realm of the spirit and spoken from a place of identity when a believer decrees something in the name of Jesus Meaning his nature character will and authority the spirit realm must obey Sorry guys, if you hear that bark in the background, that's just my dogs. Don't worry about that a decree Is not asking god to move a decree is declaring what god has already willed Hallelujah, come on somebody for the people in the back. Come on Hey I feel man. I feel turned up man. God is so good the difference between a prayer and a decree. Let's talk about it A prayer is father your will be done But a decree is in jesus name be healed be freed come out be restored Prayer is directed to god decrees are directed at the situation Jesus prayed to the father, but jesus decreed to demons Sicknesses storms and brokenness so you pray like a priest but you decree like a king. Whoo Come on somebody i'ma say that again you pray like a priest But you decree like a king that is kingdom balance. This just broke some chains for somebody, huh? Come on So dominion, what does that actually mean this is very important you need to know what dominion means as a king Dominion means to rule to govern to subdue to take territory to enforce divine order to push back darkness To walk in spiritual authority to maintain rulership over anything god has entrusted to you Look at this genesis 1 26 Says man was created to have dominion The fall disrupted it when adam and eve fell but the cross restored it Dominion does not mean you're controlling people or arrogance or pride or manipulation or using power for your own Will right? It's for the name of jesus meaning the character The nature and the will of god dominion is spiritual authority exercised In the character will and nature of jesus with humility obedience and love Let's talk about authority over darkness the authority jesus gave you is not symbolic It's not poetic. It's not
Metaphorical it is literal legal spiritual authority in the realm of the spirit and even in this physical realm You have authority over demons temptation torment accusation fear depression strongholds curses assignments witchcraft Darkness in all forms Not by your might not by your power, but because when you speak in his name Character authority and will his name is speaking through you and the holy spirit moves Then why are so many christians so bound to these things? It's because they don't know about the authority the dominion that they have over darkness If you don't know you can't decree Demons know who jesus is They know Whose you are you're you are of god and they know who you represent the kingdom of god Hell recognizes the voice the name the character the authority and the will of a king and jesus is the king of kings Hallelujah, so to walk in king and kingly power daily. Here's the power the practical powerful application You need to know this take notes Know who you are Authority flows from identity if identity is weak authority will be weak Submit to god's will first you cannot enforce a will that you refuse to obey So if you don't want to obey the will of god, but you want to enforce the will of god It doesn't make sense a kingdom divided against itself can't stand number three speak boldly, but humbly Kings don't whisper at darkness. They confront it boldly with confidence And humbly meaning, you know, it's not you it's jesus who's given you the authority and the access number four You scripture as your foundation a decree without scripture is an opinion a decree without Scripture is legislation You can't make your own legislation
Scripture is already backing what you decree because it's in the will character and authority the name of yeshua jesus Don't negate number five don't negotiate with demons We're not here to negotiate with them every devil lost on the cross So we command cast out and enforce the victory of christ from what he did on the cross number six Stay filled with the holy spirit Authority meaning kingship dominion without intimacy priesthood Becomes performance i'ma say it again If you're trying to command authority and decree and declare and and and move in power But you have no intimacy a.k.a priesthood meaning plugged into the vine it will become performance because now You're trying to do things according to the will of God without actually being with him. So who are you really doing it for? Yourself. That's why it's performance. You're performing for yourself. Intimacy without authority becomes passivity. There's a lot of people who have intimacy, who pray, who read, who seek God, who plug into the vine, but they don't enforce and because of that it becomes passive. We need a balance of both. Hallelujah. Come on somebody. Decree only what heaven authorizes. In every situation you need to know what is your will God in this situation and he will reveal it to you. Then you apply the scripture to it and you decree it in Jesus name until you see that thing happen. A king doesn't make up his own will. A king enforces the will of the throne. This is one of the biggest, I would say, struggles with a lot of Christians is knowing the will of God for the situation. Sometimes people will say this is God's will, but it's not. It's their will. This is why we need to seek God, priesthood, with an unbiased heart, get in the scriptures, know his character, know his nature and will, grow in identity so we can know more and more as he grows in us, as Christ is formed in us, who he is, as we get to know him more, we get to know his will more. Over situations, are you going to mess up? Sometimes you will. We all do, but that actual mess up is a test. It's a lesson. It's an experience to grow, be purified, be delivered, be healed, whatever it is that God wants to do, to grow intimately into his image, his likeness. So again, a king doesn't make up his own will. He enforces the will of the throne. Jesus is the model of kingly authority. Watch how Jesus operated. Again, commanded storms, rebuked fevers.
He casted out devils. He spoke to sickness. He declared healing. He released peace. He bound darkness. He loosed freedom. This is not deep spiritual theory. This is your inheritance. So guys, final charge. Walk in your kingship. Family, hear me. You are not powerless. You are not weak. You are not a victim. You are not beneath the enemy. Through Christ, you are a king and a priest, seated with Christ, given authority, empowered to decree, designed for dominion, called to push back darkness, anointed to enforce heaven. Kingly power is not for super Christians who have been saved for 40, 50 years or the ones with a ministry, a church, and a microphone. It is for any born again believer. So today, step in your identity. Speak like a king. Pray like a priest. Walk in dominion. Push back darkness. Enforce heaven. Decree truth. Bind evil. Loose light. Release the kingdom. You are a king under the king of kings. And hell recognizes your voice. God bless you and see you in the next video. Finish this quiz up. In Jesus name.
