Taking Dominion...

The Battle can only be Won, if you yourself begin to TAKE DOMIONION! To have dominion means having authority and control over a territory. God gave man dominion over the earth and everything in it when He created them.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." (Genesis 1:26-28 KJV)


When man fell, Satan took the "lease" so to speak, the illegal authority over the earth and everything in it. He held the keys, which were first given to us. It's like man fell away from God through sin, were cast out of the garden of Eden, and left the keys there. Naturally Satan, helped himself to those keys and for generations we fought to get them back. [Enters in Jesus] Who comes to take back those keys. He goes before us, dies for us, regains the lease for us, and now we are fighting to WAKE UP and realize the truth and be set free from the bondage of sin, by accepting that Truth...the truth that Jesus Christ, the living Son of God, God made flesh, died for our sins so we could live, was buried, but rose again the third day, having taken back the keys, the lease from Satan, restoring man back to God's original intent, that through HIM, we would be made free and whole and one with God, joint-heir with Christ, cleansed, purified, set free, given back that dominion that was always ours, but stolen! You know, just THAT simple truth. It's like....STOP! hammer time! Hahaha....Just Kidding..it's like the Matrix...we need to awaken to the truth...WE HAVE DOMINION!!! We have control over this territory through the power and blood of Christ! Why are we not walking in it?

We have been fighting in our house against the attacks of creatures, mainly bedbugs, for a month now. We are still fighting. This is not our first fight though. We dealt with these suckers before and conquered them. But you see, the battle was much smaller then. The battle is different now, we have gone higher up the mountain...the higher you go, the farther you go, the deeper you go, the more the enemy attacks. If he can get you to Give Up, then he will overtake you. If he can get you to Retreat, then he will overtake you. If he can get you to Quit....follow where I'm going. We have a tendency to RETREAT when we feel we have been invaded. We retreat, leaving one area and going to focus on another area we have. However, what we have failed to realize is that now we are backed against the corner and all of our territory has been taken. What we got, is all that's left. If we relinquish control over this area, than basically...WE DIE!

I'm not ready to go out like that. I will not sit back and just die! Hell No! Literally, speaking against Hell and all it's enemy...NO! You do not have dominion enemy!!!...nothing was given to you!!!...IM TAKING BACK WHAT'S MINE!!!

I start singing...

We're marching and moving onward and upward
The Kingdom of God is at a forceful advance
We're taking dominion over the darkness
Tearing down the works of the enemy's camps

These blood sucking bugs, have tried to "steal" from us what God put into our hands - Our Home! No more! I have wanted to Retreat! I just want to feel safe and if this place wasn't going to make me feel safe, then I don't want to be here. But you see, feeling safe, often means feeling comfortable. God sure hasn't called us to a life of comfort. He said He would give us Peace, Rest, Joy, etc, but those words mean something different in Him than they do to us in the world. We find those things IN HIM, FOCUSED ON HIM, LIVING, MOVING, BREATHING, IN HIM...not in the things of this world.

So our first step of taking dominion was Powdering the room with Poision (super safe for kids, people, animals, etc, food grade stuff). We powdered the whole room and let it sit. The "enemy" tried to move out into other places in the house, making us feel unsafe in our own home. Where were they coming from, how did they get there, how do we kill them. We began to feel as if our efforts were of no use. All lies of the enemy. He wants us to give in. But we stand our ground! We will not give up our territory. We will wipe these suckers out!!!

Today, we cleaned and painted the room. When you TAKE DOMINION, you are taking OWNERSHIP over something. After God gave man dominion, He gave man purpose. "Be fruitful and multiply, dress the garden, name the animals, etc." All these things represent an OWNERSHIP of the Territory. When you choose to paint your home, you are taking ownership of it, making it yours, adding YOUR character, YOUR touches, a piece of YOU goes into the home. OWNERSHIP! It's not just the place you sleep, but it's now an expression of who you are. YOUR work put into it. We TOOK DOMINION over a dirty white, hostile bug, taken over room, and painted it shades of beautiful grays and fresh white. We gave it character. After it dries, we will hang up artwork, bring back in the clothes, the bookshelf with books, the toys...we are DRESSING our garden! We are taking OWNERSHIP, we are TAKING DOMINION!!!

Singing the rest of the song:

We have the Victory
We have the Victory
We have the Victory
By the Blood of the Lamb!!!!

The fight isn't over yet, but we are now taking back ALL our territory...it starts with the room, but soon we will have regained our ground. You must fight, you must stand, you must not give in, in order to regain what the enemy has taken.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: (Joel 2:25-28 KJV)


Not only are we being restored...but God has something more for us...He promises to come..He will pour out His Spirit upon us...and then the fun begins....


I have more revelation on this, but thats all for now...please stay tuned cause it's far from done! But oh, has VICTORY been declared today!!!
