What Is a Decree? Understanding the Power of Affirmations and the Science of the Spoken Word

Jaspal Soni

What is a Decree?

A decree is a powerful spiritual affirmation that helps you access the divine power within. When you chant a decree aloud and repeat it, you amplify its energy and effectiveness.

According to the teachings of the Ascended Masters, “the call compels the answer.” This principle forms the foundation of the Science of the Spoken Word, which operates on universal and cosmic laws.

When you decree, you invoke divine authority. In response, the universe aligns to support your soul’s highest good.

A Sample Decree: Structure and Meaning

Decrees function like spiritual letters and typically consist of three parts:

1. Preamble (Invocation)

In the name of the beloved mighty victorious Presence of God, I AM in me, my own beloved Higher Self, Higher Selves of all mankind, elemental life—fire, air, water, and earth! I decree:

2. Body of the Decree

I AM a being of Violet Fire;
I AM the Purity God desires.
(Repeat this affirmation as many times as you wish)

3. Closing (Acceptance)

And in full faith I consciously accept this manifest, manifest, manifest! (3x) right here and now with full Power, eternally sustained, all-powerfully active, ever expanding, and world enfolding until all are wholly ascended in the Light and free!
Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM! Beloved I AM!

How Do Decrees Work?

You can practise decrees while walking, working, or even driving. However, for deeper impact, it is best to recite them in a quiet and focused environment.

You can practise alone or in groups—group recitation often magnifies the energy and impact of decrees.

The Science Behind Decrees: Key Principles

The practice of decreeing is based on seven core principles:

• Prayer can create both spiritual and material changes
• Spoken prayer is more powerful than silent prayer
• Decrees are the most effective form of spoken prayer
• Using divine names like OM TAT SAT OM (I AM THAT I AM) connects you to infinite power
• Repetition strengthens the impact of decrees
• Visualisation enhances the effectiveness of affirmations
• Conscious breathing increases the power of prayers and decrees

Why Practise Decrees? Benefits for Spiritual Growth

Decrees are a powerful tool for self-transformation and mindfulness. They help:

• Strengthen your connection with your Higher Self
• Release negative energy and karmic patterns
• Improve focus and inner clarity
• Support emotional and spiritual healing

Decrees and Self-Mastery: A Path to Higher Consciousness

The practice of decreeing is a key aspect of self-mastery, as taught by the Ascended Masters. It forms part of the broader science of invocation, helping individuals align with higher consciousness.

The true purpose of decrees is to manifest material desires. Further, it is also to establish a deeper connection with your Higher Self and divine guidance. And, once this connection is established, you naturally attract what is needed for your life’s journey.

Final Thoughts: Transform Your Life with the Power of Decrees

Decrees offer a simple yet profound way to access divine energy and transform your inner and outer world. With consistent practice, they can help you evolve into a more aware, empowered, and spiritually aligned being.

“The primary purpose of using the Science of the Spoken Word… is to put you in contact with your Higher Self and with the Ascended Masters.”
— Elizabeth Clare Prophet
