God’s Strategy for the Ekklesia to Govern

Over the last several decades, the Lord has been making it very clear to us that there is more to our understanding of the Ekklesia. You will notice that we will use the word ekklesia as a reference point rather than “church” since the idea of church sometimes is woven very tightly into old religious and traditional structures. Out of our old religious structures we are very well aware of the need to pray and to be active agents for God on the earth in order to manifest His Kingdom and His will in our spheres of influence.

But as it has now been pointed out by many authors over the last several decades, the Ekklesia is indeed the legislative force of God's will on earth. He needs us to be His active agents on Earth to carry out His will and His Kingdom.
Decrees are the judicial expressions of Heaven’s rulings. They carry the weight of the King’s authority and demand enforcement by angelic hosts and spiritual powers (Psalm 103:20). A decree is not merely saying what God said, it is enforcing the verdict that has already been issued in the courts of Heaven.

This is why the Ekklesia must move beyond merely declaring promises to issue strategic decrees. A declaration says, “God is good, and His Kingdom is coming.” A decree says, “By the authority of Christ, we enforce the manifestation of His Kingdom in this territory now.” One acknowledges reality; the other legislates it into operation. Declarations open the gates by agreement; decrees close the case by enforcement. The first is like announcing the law; the second is like serving the court order that compels obedience.

When believers fail to understand this difference, they risk remaining in cycles of hope without enforcement. They keep making declarations, yet see little change, because declarations were never meant to carry judicial weight—they are precursors to decrees.

The Ekklesia is a legislative assembly, not a motivational seminar. Its power lies not only in identifying truth but in rendering and enforcing verdicts that dismantle darkness and establish righteousness in cities, nations, and systems.
