0713 Training for Reigning

1. Dominion came through creation. (We are made in God’s image to have dominion over earth)

It’s in our nature to reign, like birds nature to fly, fish to swim

Born in America - you don’t need a test to be a citizen so is with being a human, this is not reward for victory but it’s in your DNA!

God wants man to main to be like him! We are made of material God consists of, Idea for satan is hell!

Diminish was not without devil present...enemy!!!!

God did not give man ownership (Psalm 24:1) but dominion over earth, as he has over heaven. (Psalm 115:16) Dominion means responsibility.

This was expressed in God letting Adam naming animals - naming means claiming. Jesus was named by angel.

“The mess on earth is direct result of man’s mismanagement or lack of dominion over forces of darkness and sin”

When men made mistakes, God did not take over, satan did!

Blaming God is bit foolish!!! If you get into car accident with the car I gave you - you can’t blame me —— or the car…

2. Dominion came through cross.

It’s not going to happen because of your efforts but grace.

It’s not going to happen because of your perfect but His righteousness.

God gives His best to the worse. Satan says, you are good, God is bad. God says, you are bad, I am good - I love you! Seed were sown into 3/4 soils that were not good.

John 3:16

God gives his best and you are to believe in Jesus!!! Believe that is real? No, demons do that and it’s not helping them. Jesus illustrated what belief the Father is expecting.

Those bitten had to look to serpent, instead of their wound.

Jesus compares himself to serpent…not lamb, not lion, but snake. Snakes are bad. Snake is what killed them. It was not real snake but one made out of bronze - red color. When did Jesus became snake? on the Cross!!! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus became sinful not by doing sin but by act of His dad putting that sin on him…so that you can be righteous by the same way!

Jesus knew it will be hard for you to accept that, you can just become righteous without doing righteous things…so he demonstrated how he became sin without doing sinful things and got punished for it.

Your ability to reign and rule is proportional to your revelation of gift of Jesus’ righteousness and abundance of grace. If you look to your sin, you will die in it, and never rise above your circumstances.

It’s impossible for Jesus to be bad, it’s just hard…so is with you to be good…

Satan rules over us because of our sin, but we can rule over him because of gift and grace. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.

Police officers are not the most perfect people in the world, they are trained in their authority and given that badge!!!
