God has been speaking to me over and over about dominion. He has had me ponder how Adam and Eve had dominion. He showed me how they lost dominion to the devil when Adam sinned.
I want to stop right there for a minute.... Do you realize that when we believe the lies of the devil, he has dominion over us? Well that is exactly what he won. He won that chance to lie to us.... He is so sly and so clever, but not as clever as God. He did not realize that Jesus would come take it all back for us.
On with my story... Jesus came to us... lived life as a man without sin, which is what Adam was supposed to do, then he started taking back that dominion for us. He suffered with the horrible things he went through as he neared the cross. Finally he overcame death itself by coming back to life....
Hallelujah! He bought it all back, but dear one, you and I cannot lie down and think God is going to roll it over us. We have to reach out and take it. You see, we are back to dominion. God gives us the power to TAKE DOMINION over our circumstances. He even gives us the right words in the Word of God.
Have you ever heard of the Scripture that speaks of working out your own salvation with fear and trembling? Well, loved one, this is what it is... it is taking back that dominion. It is using what Jesus gave you. It is once more being like the perfect Adam God created. You have power over your circumstances, power over your life.
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you. There is nothing that is impossible for a person who believes. How do you get all this? Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer!
So are you willing to stay in the mire of the enemy's lies or are you ready to step out of those old ways and accept ALL that God has for you? He planned for you to have it all, you know. Even from the beginning of time, he wanted you to have it all.
Ponder what I have said here then come with me as we work to move closer to God. Blessings to you, loved one.
Fire, Fire! Hey everyone, it is time to wake up. Our God is a consuming fire! If he lives in you, you also should be on fire.
Church, oh church! Arise, arise! It is time to begin moving the way Jesus did. greater things than he did, we shall do. Arise, arise. Oh, sleeping giant...... Shake off your slumber. Get up. Let us get going. No more time to waste playing church. No more time to have us four and no more. No more time.
Fire, fire. Let the Holy Spirit come and bring his fire to ALL CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE.
Come Holy Spirit, Come!
This is my beautiful daughter Elizabeth. She is 40 years old and has 4 beautiful daughters age 17, almost 16, 15, and almost 14.
Elizabeth is a prophet... a seer.... with a heart for the hurting and the down and out. She is an intercessor. God wakes her in the night to pray for people he puts on her heart. Her call is not an easy one. She loses lots of sleep and she is very concerned about the welfare of people.
I am writing this in orange today because orange is the color of healing!
I was just reading the story in Acts 9 about Tabbitha's death, and Peter's ministry to her. It says that he removed everyone from the room. Hey, what a good idea to get all the negative spiritual influence out of the way so that you have only BELIEF behind your prayers and your actions!
Acts 9:40 says in the Amplified that . . . Peter put them all out of the room and knelt down and prayed, then turning to the body he said, "Tabbitha, get up!" and she opened her eyes; and when she saw it was Peter, she raised herself up and sat upright.
Did you notice what Peter did? He did not ask God to heal her. He prayed, and I think when he did that he was asking to be completely refilled with the Holy Spirit so that he could do the healing work necessary. THEN he told her to get up. He commanded her with his Holy Ghost power.
God did not say for us to go out and ask HIM to heal. He told US to heal because he has given us back the dominion that the devil took when Adam sinned. We are to be full of the power of God (that was the prayer that Peter prayed) and we are to do the things Jesus did and even greater things than this.
Please do not misunderstand me. I am not so foolish as to think that God had nothing to do with this. On the contrary. It is God IN US who does this work. We need to do it the way He wants though. For years we have been whining for God to do this and God to do that. I think God wants us to do what He said... take authority. That is why Jesus died. He bought back all the dominion and authority that we lost with sin.
May God be IN YOU today, full of glory and power in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Any strand of our own energy will blur the life of Jesus. We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge that we have been with Jesus.
My Utmost For His Highest

It is almost Resurrection Sunday, Easter. I have noticed that God has so many of us thinking about all that Jesus did on the cross. How little we really know and understand about it. Oh, we think we do, but according to our lives, we do not.
First of all, that cross bought us salvation. We say, Yes, I understand that. I get to go to Heaven. Beloved, that is not what salvation is. Do you know that the word salvation means hope, healing, peace, safety, deliverance, and prosperity. It is for now, not just for heaven. Tell me, are we all receiving that? There.... that is what I am talking about.
I have been going over Isaiah 53:4 about how Jesus bore our griefs [maladies, anxieties, calamities, diseases, griefs, sicknesses] Wow. Now right there if we would just get a hold on that we would be far better off than we are.
That brings up another thing. When we were saved, we had to reach our and accept it by FAITH. So we have to reach out and accept our healing by faith. Either Jesus did it for us or he did not. What are we going to believe?
Remember that the Israelites died in the wilderness because of unbelief. Let us not die in the wilderness because of our unbelief. We have the Word of God. We have proof positive that Jesus has completed the work for us. He absolutely bought back the things that the devil stole from Adam when Adam sinned. We must exercise our faith to believe and accept.
Will you join me now in meditating on all that Jesus did for us and reach out to receive the healing and everything that salvation means?
Have a wonderful Passover/Resurrection season. Be blessed today!
