The whole basis of understanding your sonship is key. Dominion or the desire to rule runs deep in mans veins. But when harnessed and correctly applied our desires are not a negative influence on us

Genesis 1:26–27 KJV 1900
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.
Genesis 1:26–27 KJV 1900

And within that we talked about creation and what it meant to be created
And within that we talked about creation and what it meant to be created
And so we discussed how man was both made and created
How the word create is the hebrew word BARA meaning to create from nothing
that we must understand that we were created by a thought
that through this he created, he shaped, he fashioned in many ways a model, from a thought
And as he created the earth, he knew what he wanted and so he just spoke it into existance
So just a little side not,
do you really understand who you you are?
Do you understand how powerful your words really are
Proverbs 18:21 KJV 1900
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
So you must understand that with your words, that with your thoughts that you are creating from nothing.
And that as an ambassador, as one created in his image that you are speaking for him
your father
Speaking something that he had already declared
So understand that as you speak that you are actually prophesying into the atmosphere
And that as you are prophesying that you are declaring and making a command
and that as you declare that everything under your kings rule has no choice but to obey the re declared word of your father
so what is a decree
a decree is a law or rule set by the king
and when a king makes a law it must be obeyed or their will be consequences
So next we talked about man being made
and the hebrew word for that was ASAH
that man was also fashioned and formed from something tangible
Genesis 2:7 KJV 1900
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
So when you take these two words and all of the surrounding documentary you conclude that as man that we are a combination of being created and made
But did you ever wonder what it truly meant to be created in his image
I dont know about you but when i first read that or heard that I was like “so what does that mean, really?”
I mean the bible says in genesis that we were created in His image and in his likeness
That we were created in the character and essence of our father
at least that is what that means
So to be created in his image means that I am the exact embodiment of his every essence, his every being
Basically created with everything that he has
that we are not just a print out or a traced copy
but hat that means is that you are his exact replica and representation here on the earth
Do you get it?
Are you following me here? Because this here is fundamental to the furthering and continuation of our sonship
Thus all of this falling directly in line with the reason for our creation
Man, again as i go through this series, understand that when i say man that I am not talking about man as a gender but i am talking about mankind
See when God created the earth he had a plan
and his initial plan was that of a 2nd heaven
an you better know that he had a vision and a plan for the 2nd heaven
It wasn’t because he was lonely or board
See God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omnicient
he is the God of everything
and so he didnt create man or the earth because he was lonely
But he had a plan
and so he created the earth
he created the substance of the earth
and in that he created the plants and the animals
(but he wasn’t done),
something was missing
Now understand that I am not saying that God missed something or that he made a mistake
see his plan was well thought out, i mean he is God.
but what i am saying is that his plan was not yet complete
see this plan im talking abut was created in his limitless mind before he even spoke
He had created the earth, and he created the plants and he created the animals
but then he allowed it to rain
But see there was no man that had been created to further his plan
Genesis 2:9 KJV 1900
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
See it began to rain and vegetation began to grow
see the plan was in motion
Man was created and was created with a dominion mandate
i have heard for years that the first thing that God gave Adam was a job
So what job was that
i argue that the first job was linked to that of a dominion mandate, because before adam was to til the ground, God had thought about the dominion mandate that he had instilled in the hearts and spirit of man
see the job had a purpose, but what was the underlying reason for the job?
Are you following me here?
See we are ambassadors
and as ambassadors our first job is to make sure that the king is happy
and how do we do that?
movie 300
So can you say DOMINION MANDATE
See it was in that the true purpose of man was all spelled out
it was in gen 1:26 that he had a meeting with himself
the father, the son and the holy spirit got together and met
they deliberated, lets give them dominion
see he didnt say us
And
dont believe me, well its in your bible, read it for yourself
He said, lets give THEM dominion
meaning that when he had this meeting that he intentionally left himself out of the equation
He said let us create man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion
First things first
God is God
He is the God of everything
He owns everything
Psalm 24:1 KJV 1900
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
Psalm 24:1 KJV 1900
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
He owns everything
but see here he specifies the purpose of mans creation
See here he said THEM and not US
God created a second heaven not because he knew that there was something wrong with the first and he wanted a do over
And no where did God intend to vacate his perfect kingdom to supervise the second
No
see in his plan he knew that he was going to create man and he needed a place to put them, man, his children
see you, man was a preemptive thought
And it was his intention to give man dominion and that is exactly what he did
And with that he created a second heaven and wanted it to mirror and embody the 1st kingdom
don’t believe me
Matthew 6:10 KJV 1900
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
You, Me , his children
he wants us to re-establish a prophetic decree
see when adam was created he decided to surrender the kingdom to another king.
And so the father created a second adam to reset his plan
Can you say reset?
See that is why the father sent his son to earth
see when Jesus came on the scene he said the kingdom of heaven is at hand
Matthew 3:15 KJV 1900
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
that the kingdom is amongst us
do you understand that the kingdom is within each of us
and that he came to reset and restore, and that is why he was sent, for the kingdom
Jesus purpose was to reset and restore what had been surrendered
And because of his death on the cross, it made all of that possible
So my text, you were created to rule
God gave you dominion
and what dominion is is sovernty or control
See to be one of dominance or have dominion one has to be one of royalty, a king
So to be given dominion it means that one is to be established as a soverign, a king
with that they inherit the authority to properly represent the king
to be a symbol of
Do you get it?
Listen to me
you are a king and queen
you are an the embodiment and representative of the most hight
your father
And just like the Father is the king of all
And just like the Father is the king of all
he has given you dominion and authority over the second
See you are ambassadors and representatives of the King
and the power and authority that you posses derives from the one that sent you
see from what i understand the king never sends a representative or such without the power to back up what they are saying
so it is that the representative is the symbol of the king in what ever land
like i said about 300 earlier
illustration of kings kids
So, when he said them he basically transferred power of authority to mankind
And as he is the owner of the earth,
it is as if we have been given power of attorney
I hope that you are following me here
i know that it can be mind blowing
But it is this transfer of authority that establishes mankind as the legal authority on earth
do you realize that for anything to be done on the earth that he uses man to do such
i mean if he decided to just bypass mans involvement would be him renege on his word
And that is one thing that he will not do,
is go against his own word
He said let them have dominion = gen 1:26
He truly intended for man to have dominion
and all mankind is created rulers and kings
See he created you to rule
And kingdom is the root of too words
king and dom
And to have a kingdom one has to be a king
So in order to be a king one has to have a kingdom
So in order to be a king one has to have a kingdom
So in order to rule one has to be a king (you and me)
and to be a king one has to have a domain (dom) (earth)
You were created with a dominion mandate
Its embedded in your spirit
i mean why do you think that power and such is so enticing to man?
Listen to me carefully
you are a king
you are royalty
you are a kings kid
and by such it gives you special priveledges
And these privileges gives you all the authority and power that you need to do what you need to do
and that power and influence is derived from the king
Yet we are too busy living beneath our birthright and not living by the privilege that we were birth with
And according to genesis, we should be the ones influencing the world instead of the world influencing us
we should be the ones dictating rule and law
see we speak for the one most high
and when we speak we are proclaiming and prophesying into the atmosphere
and because of that dominion mandate, everything under gods rule must obey his decree
YOU WERE CREATED TO RULE
Numbers 6:24–26 KJV 1900
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
