New Apostolic Reformation “apostle” Tim Sheets, brother of pro-Trump “apostle” Dutch Sheets, appeared on ElijahStreams Thursday, where he described “prophetic downloads” that he said God has given him since the election. Donald Trump’s victory will usher in “the most supernatural era” ever and a “higher level of Christianity,” Sheets said, along with a “kingdom revival” and “billion-soul harvest.”
Sheets said God told him that it’s time for a newly confident ekklesia—a term dominionists use to refer to the church as a governing body on Earth—to exercise a higher level of authority. He said the church now has a “prevailing anointing” and is “overwhelming hell’s effort on Earth.”
“The Lord says, ‘The world will now see the paths of My Ekklesia extending into all of the earth,’” Sheets said. “’The direction she travels will show an aggressive resistance to Hell's advances in government and in cultures. The Ekklesia will now be presented as anointed for war, anointed for battle, anointed to reign, anointed to bring change, anointed to work for My harvest, anointed to reap the lost, anointed to prevail.’”
“Hell is about to face a church it’s never faced before,” Sheets said, adding, “Our government, the nations’ governments, they’re about to face a church it’s never faced before.”
The New Apostolic Reformation is a growing religious and political movement grounded in ideologies of dominion and spiritual warfare. NAR leaders teach that modern-day apostles and prophets and their right-wing Christian followers are meant to take dominion over governments and other institutions of cultural influence to speed the day when a triumphant church will rule and reign with a returning Christ. NAR leaders like Dutch Sheets and Lance Wallnau aggressively promoted Trump’s claims about the 2020 election and partnered with pro-Trump groups like the America First Policy Institute to help Trump return to power. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance appeared at a Wallnau-AFPI-sponsored “Courage Tour” event shortly before the election.
Excerpts from Sheets’ recounting of his “prophetic downloads” as shared on ElijahStreams’ podcast and The Elijah List email newsletter:
The Lord spoke the following words to me after the election: "For the trumpets of war have been sounded from Heaven. Rise, Ekklesia. Rise in your authority. You will find it more than enough. Rise and confront the forever loser with My words. He will flee from you. Rise and confront his dark kingdom." …
“For now the intimidating Ekklesia will rise in My breaker anointing against Hell…
"A different behavior will be seen in My remnant warriors. Attitudes and mindsets will reflect My power upon and within them. They will not be intimidated; they will be intimidators of Hell's kingdom because of the weight of glory resting in and upon them. For My glory intimidates Hell," says the Lord. "My glory will intimidate Hell through its presence upon My Ekklesia. My Ekklesia will behave as those carrying a great weight of glory and a great weight of authority. For it is My weight of glory and authority they carry.
"Behave, Ekklesia, as sons and daughters. Behave as joint heirs with Me.
The Lord says, "The world will now see the paths of My Ekklesia extending into all of the earth. The direction she travels will show an aggressive resistance to Hell's advances in government and in cultures. The Ekklesia will now be presented as anointed for war, anointed for battle, anointed to reign, anointed to bring change, anointed to work for My harvest, anointed to reap the lost, anointed to prevail.
"I am anointing My Ekklesia with a determined attitude to prevail and win, like Gideon's 300 men and like David's mighty men. Shift now into a prevailing mentality. Shift into prevailing behavior. A determined anointing to win will now fill My remnant. They will not surrender My Kingdom to the governments of man. They will influence the governments of man with My ways. They will not surrender the spiritual weapons I've given them. They will use them. They will not hesitate at demonic noise. They will not relinquish their authority, their swords, or their spears.
"The sword of My Word will swing from their mouths, empowered to demolish strongholds, empowered to scatter and shatter enemy plans. The sword of My Word swung by My Ekklesia's decrees will be a disruptive force, confusing the plans of demonic powers. It will disrupt the followers of Baal, causing disarray from coast to coast. For you will see, even this month," says the Lord, "and in the months to come, the acceleration of disarray. Confusion and bewilderment will mystify those committed to dark agendas, and they will wear the yoke of their own confusion. They will reap their own destructive plans. They will wander their paths of disillusionment.
"My Ekklesia will rise, and their attitudes will show their trust in Me. They will surrender nothing. They will not take their orders from Hell-bent kings, potentates, governors, congressmen or women, senators, prime ministers, mayors, city councils, school boards, professors, or woke mobs. My Ekklesia listens to Holy Spirit. Their orders come from Lord Sabaoth. They surrender nothing. They are those who stand for My cause. They stand without compromise for My words. They will not be bullied. A prevailing anointing will produce prevailing victories."
