Dominion, Dominion

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.
