Transformation – Workplace 25th February 2012

 

‘ I will pour out My Spirit upon all people. Your Sons and Daughters will prophecy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In these days I will pour out My Spirit even on servants – men and women alike.’ Joel 2: 28  NLT

Lord, we thank You for every promise of Revival You have given to our land, we thank You for the salvations and we thank You for the encounters already taking place. We declare this will be a revival marked out by its inclusivity of every generation, of men & of women, – a revival which will impact the secular as well as the sacred.

We declare according to God’s word, we are the children of God, made according to His image. We thank Him for the workplaces He has assigned so many to; the companies, offices, industries, schools and hospitals up and down the United Kingdom, as well as for the many called as homemakers. We declare His Name will be glorified as we His people increasingly reflect His image, the image of the Creator of the Heavens and the earth across every workplace arena.   (Gen 1:26)

We thank Him that according to Psalm 139:17-18 ‘His thoughts towards us are more numerous than the grains of sand’ and we thank Him for the promise of  James 1:5  ‘If any of  you lacks  wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously and without finding fault’,  so in the Name of Jesus we declare, as God’s people ask of Him,  His wisdom will be released from Heaven, that from product launches to interaction between clients and colleagues, solutions will be given to every business challenge.

We declare real depth of our interactions in the workplace arena will replace those of superficial mutual convenience, that in these days a greater revelation of God’s  purposes will cause His people to align with His plans, and great transformation come to our nation via the workplace.

We decree and declare in the United Kingdom, God’s people will be mobilized in every office, industry and company, and His Kingdom purposes established. Amen.  (Micah 5:1)

A note from the author

In December 2020, God spoke to me about an ancient key He was releasing – as I have prayed and waited on God, I believe this is to do with the re-setting of what has been a corrupted version of the ‘dominion’ mandate back to the Biblical gift which it was intended to be. This is not about Dominionism, or domination of one upon the other, but the release of a gift which stewards out of God’s heart, for the well-being of those concerned.

For the United Kingdom, this is also a time when following Brexit, there is an opportunity for us as a nation to reconsider our role in the world and our history, as we seek God for our future.

Some of what is written below will not be new to many, but I have included it with what I believe is fresh revelation, so that when we come to make the declaration at the end – there is a corporate understanding. 

I am sending this out in advance, to give time to people to pray and consider before the 8th.

Dominion – Introduction

This is a new era, the sound resounding over this era, is the sound of the era of the Kingdom, prophesied in Daniel 4:3 – ‘How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders!  His Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation’ and again in Daniel 7:14 ‘then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.  His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which will not pass away’.

The focus of the Holy Spirit is increasingly upon this Kingdom that not only will a great Revival be released, but also a restoration of the truths of His word, and the righteousness, justice, and peace of this Kingdom of God – on earth as it is in Heaven.

Dominion – a Kingdom Mandate

Dominion was the mandate which shaped the mindsets of the West for generations, (Tom Holland) and lay behind so much of the Christendom expansion from the 16th century onwards; yet it did much damage, not only affecting the lives of millions of individuals but also of nations.

Where did it begin?

In Genesis 1:28 we have a familiar scripture – ‘then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth’

The Kingdom of God and His dominion are inseparable, some even refer to the Kingdom as the ‘King’s domain.’ They are different ways of saying the same thing.

In our time, because this Kingdom is beginning to advance, the Spirit of God is freshly highlighting the mandate to take Dominion, given originally to Adam and Eve, and then released to the church by Jesus with His call ‘to go into all the world and make disciples…’  We stand on the edge of a new movement of and through God’s people to ‘take territory’ again, whether literally physical areas where darkness rules, or aspects of the spheres of influence that so affect our societies, bringing Revival and releasing the love, justice, righteousness and mercy of the King to our world.

If God gave mankind dominion, what does dominion look like?

The dictionary describes dominion as: the right of governing; sovereign authority; rule; control over a territory or sphere of influence; the territory of a sovereign or government.  (Dictionary.com)

Expansion, Fruitfulness and Multiplication are part of the same mandate – and as you follow through the scriptures you see this thread emerge from Genesis 1 to Revelation.

This dominion mindset, which comes through scripture, is a territory taking mandate and has shaped the western world and it has shaped the Western Empires, yet we are aware it was both misused and misappropriated, bringing slavery, robbery of resources or even of a nation’s unique identity.

What went wrong?  This dominion mandate was given to mankind, and it is in the DNA of mankind – so the desire to govern, rule and expand territory lies in the heart of all men, but it became corrupted and twisted through the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden.

What should have been man extending the righteous order of God from the garden through relationship with Him, carrying His heart and values – Godly dominion – actually became the excuse for a man or a nation to take control, dominate or abuse others.

                     Mankind will dominate as a corrupted outworking of exercising dominion.

It is worth noting here, that the Hebrew word ‘radah’ translated ‘dominion’ does also imply to rule ‘by going down and walking amongst the subjects as an equal’.[1] Something very different to what has often been modelled.

 

New Covenant

When we come into the New Testament, Jesus releases a different way to exercise Dominion.

Revelation 1 informs us,we overcome by the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony and not loving our lives unto death’.  To take dominion we must overcome something.

Jesus showed how to do this through His example.  He served, He sacrificed himself and He SURRENDERED to death on the cross.  Jesus showed no sign of weakness, He stood before authorities, unpressured by the situation around Him, knowing He could call forth a legion of angels if He wanted to, yet He walked in complete submission to the will of His Heavenly Father.  He bought us salvation, but He also gave us a new model.

                                           True Dominion is found through surrender to God.

 

Jesus came as a lamb, foreseen by the OT prophets, and foreshadowed by the sacrifices of the Old Testament with extra-ordinary detail.  Jesus came to restore all things to how they were before the fall – that includes the Dominion mandate.

Many of the Old Testament words for lamb, simply mean a young sheep, but in the scriptures referring to the sacrifices, which in turn point to the sacrifice of Jesus as THE Lamb, a different word is used.  (the first reference is in Exodus 29:39)

  • This word for Lamb is ‘Kebes’ – Strong’s Number 3532, from an unused root, to It is used for a ram which is just old enough to butt.
  • That word dominate from dictionary definitions, is to control govern or rule by superior authority, (the dominion mandate), BUT often carries a negative connotation. It is to have a lot of control over a place or person – especially in an unpleasant way; to prevail over; to over-rule; detract from; overshadow; overbear; domineer, rule the roost; tower over.
  • Yet, Jesus came and ‘tabernacled amongst them’, what a picture of that original meaning! Kingdom dominion is not about ownership but about a heart to steward which flows out of a generous spirit.

 

God’s plan

God is releasing a key to individuals, the church and the United Kingdom, so that for this Era of the King and His Kingdom, we will not only see a movement of God which will release life, wholeness and peace to individuals, but also has the capacity to restore the God given Identity to the nation.

God saw the damage which would be done through people moving in that fallen DNA, so hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus, He went ahead and He provided specifically for the cleansing of that mandate through the blood of Jesus, foreshadowed in the sacrifices.  He took that Dominion mandate and encapsulated and surrounded it in something different.

For nations like the United Kingdom, which carry an apostolic call, this is a moment of re-set to His enabling and preparing of His people to step up into that God given righteous mandate exercising Dominion, moving with His authority in the spiritual realm, influencing the earth – yet releasing the healing and power of this Kingdom, through the power of surrender, not to man or the enemy, but to God – that this movement will flow with the glory, healing and power of the King.

It provides for a healing of the past, and an opportunity for the future.

The Response – The United Kingdom – Re-set for Restoration and Release.

 

This Re-set is that hearts, perspectives and understanding are changed, aligning with Kingdom values, and the mistakes of the last era not repeated.

“And He said to them “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” Mark 16:15

Repentance:

Lord in this day when You are realigning nations, we praise You for the calling You have put upon the United Kingdom to preach the gospel, and to bring in the Kingdom, and we thank you for the Apostolic, Fathering and Mothering anointing You have put upon the land.

  • We confess where Christianity in the West, was linked and shaped by the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, grafted into and re-enforced by an Empire spirit. We confess where it was connected to that Empire spirit using military power, political power, religious power and economic power– operating from a corrupted understanding of the dominion mandate.
  • We confess anyplace where we Your people, Your Church, have exercised a wrong authority, quenching or controlling the people we were meant to release, damaging others and hindering Your work.
  • We confess where as individuals, we have wrongly used the authority You have given, we have desired to control or to dominate, even within families or within marriages.
  • We stand and we confess and repent where, as a nation, we established the British Empire, which became the Commonwealth, taking dominion not from the mandate cleansed by the blood of Jesus, but out of the dominion mandate twisted and distorted by the fall of man in the Garden.

We stand before Your throne and we ask for mercy, and we ask for Healing for ourselves and for the nations which we have affected.

Declaration

Now Lord, we decree and declare, a re-set.

  • That even as the dominion mandate given in the garden was cleansed by the work of Jesus on the cross, so from this point on, in the United Kingdom, the past actions of this nation will be cleansed and forgiven through the Blood of Jesus, shame broken, and the nation free to step into its God given identity for the days ahead.
  • That individuals will be unashamed of the Gospel, and unashamed of the uniqueness of call upon this land – yet honouring, respecting and empowering the gifts and call of God upon other lands.

We declare this Commonwealth Anniversary marks the end of the old and the beginning of the new – and in the Name of Jesus, we decree in the days ahead, this nation will release the wisdom, purpose and heart of the Kingdom of God.

God is bringing a re-set, that the God given Identity and Call upon this land will be recovered and restored, including the call to protect the freedom of the gospel; the freedom of the church; and the call to establish righteousness, justice, mercy and Godly governance.

We decree even as nations were birthed from these shores, and knowledge and wisdom transferred across continents, the apostolic, fathering and mothering anointing will again arise upon this land, and we decree a turning, that in this season God’s heart will be our heart and His ways our ways.

Following the Government announcing its plans for a ‘free speech champion’ to regulate England’s campuses, we are repeating a declaration from May 2018:

 “show proper respect for all men (treat them honourably) …” 1 Pet 2:17

“in everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech…” Titus 2:7

In the Name of Jesus, in this day of the impossible becoming possible, we decree and declare in this nation Your Word, Your truth and Your wisdom will be heard in every place of higher education, changing atmospheres, mindsets, hearts and lifestyles.

Even as Paul debated with those of different faith and values, we declare in this nation, from our schools to our universities, freedom of speech, the freedom to debate, the freedom to choose, and the freedom to agree or to disagree will be valued and protected, limited and balanced by respect for others.  Acts 15:2; 17:18; 18:28

We declare those God given freedoms will be strengthened, supported and implemented by the laws of the land, and we speak strength and wisdom to those fighting for those freedoms at this time.  We decree this is a time for a turning of every ungodly precedent set.

We declare deans, chancellors and vice chancellors, professors and heads of department, lecturers and personnel staff will align with Your purpose for this generation, releasing debate and refusing the suppression of debate, in the Name of Jesus.

We declare You are raising a generation who know their true identity in You, who carry Your heart, Your life and Kingdom values.

Even as  Psalm 24 states, ‘The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it’; we declare the call on Ireland (N & S) to display the fullness of God’s beauty throughout the earth; that friendship with Him will cause His Heart and His intentions to be revealed to the nations.

We declare the joy of salvation will resonate across this land, signs, wonders, miracles and encounters released, as Ireland walks in her God given identity, and the nations  come to her shores – experiencing again the wonder and beauty of God. We call forth the roots that held scriptures safe in past ages to again bear the fruit that reveals the mystery, majesty, word and ways of God, releasing His life into the UK, Europe and to the ends of the earth. We speak life into every God given gift sown into this island, in Jesus Name.

We thank you for the joy of music embedded into the fabric and DNA of the peoples. We bless the warriors of God and the lovers of God to once again lead God’s people through song and dance, that the sound of their instruments  will bring joy to the nations and the unique gift of dance bring freedom to the land.

Now Lord, concerning N. Ireland, we repent concerning every place where the desire for control or domination whether through politics or religion has shut down the simplicity, purity and life of the gospel, dividing the people and the church. We speak healing and reconciliation in the Name of Jesus.  We declare N. Ireland  will move into a fresh place of forgiveness that the pain, grief and woundedness of past seasons will be healed in a fresh outpouring of the love of God.

We decree the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the foundational truths of the gospel and the message of the gospel will be released with great power, creativity  and freedom, unhindered by the thoughts and ways of man.

We bless all the peoples of Ireland, North and South,  to walk in the fullness of Gods call upon their lives.

Now Lord, we ask that Your  wisdom will rest upon every negotiation and discussion concerning the movement of goods across the borders caused by Brexit,  that every hindrance and blockage is removed, in Jesus name.

there is an appointed time for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven’ Ecclesiastes 3:1

We declare this is the day for God’s Kingdom to be manifest in great measure in these lands, shaped and formed by the plans of Heaven.  We declare that a truly United Kingdom achieved through the outpouring of God’s Spirit upon the nations will enable the deep wounds and hostility of the past to be healed. We agree the Church across these Islands will unite, forging bonds of loving kindness and opening the way for forgiveness, healing and reconciliation – that the blueprints of Heaven for these Islands will be established. (04/02/21)

We declare over the mountains and valleys of Wales their God given identity to lead in praise and worship to Almighty God, that the Name of Jesus will be lifted high above these Islands, rising with great purity, passion and beauty. In the Name of Jesus, we agree for the roots of music to again bear the fruit of unity which will flow across the borders to bless and unite the United Kingdom.

We thank You Lord for the songs which have opened the way for Your Spirit to flow in previous seasons, but now we release new levels of creativity, songs, sounds and words from the throne room of Heaven, that anointed songs – from the depths of personal  encounters with Jesus will come forth – calling people into the Presence of the Father.   

We declare over Wales, this is the season of Revival, and we water the seeds of revival from times past to blossom again bringing salvation, life and liberty in the Spirit. We declare the well of prayer, birthed and established through Rees Howells will flourish and we call forth provision and resources to flow freely for Wales and from Wales, in the Name of Jesus.

We declare God is opening a fresh place of belonging for Wales within the United Kingdom,  that it will be recognised and valued for its unique identity and contribution.
