Dominion Strategy – Part 2

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up my Bible and began to read Isaiah 35. Here, Holy Spirit revealed His purpose and mission for a new assignment in front of me to help His redeemed ones recover their destinies.

Holy Spirit highlighted Isaiah 35:3-4 TPT, which says to “Strengthen those who are discouraged. Energize those who feel defeated. Say to the anxious and fearful, ‘Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! He comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution he comes to save you!'”

So, right now, it’s time to continue to follow Jesus as He leads us further into our next assignments with peace, rejoice and wisdom. It’s time to keep bringing order to transition as we move into position to recover all and then some. It’s time to move into God’s showplaces as He showcases His glory through us as a beacon to the nations (Ac 13:47).

God is lifting the bride of Christ into His light of justice for all to see His goodness. There will be extraordinary expressions of God’s covenant blessings for a restored generational heritage.

The grace for His plunder and spoils are part of this retribution as we continue to move forward with Him in His righteousness and holiness. This is justice in manifest form, and He is making it favorable and convenient.

Not only will God’s redeemed and authentic ones recover all, they will receive more than they had previously and even enough to share with friends to help them recover their destinies.

Think David at Ziklag.

1 Samuel 30:26 NIV says, “When David reached Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, who were his friends, saying, ‘Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.'”

Ziklag was land given to the tribe of Judah, the people of praise, and to the tribe of Simeon, the people who heard God.

I believe our Lord has set His beloved up to enter into His promises with praise, having heard from Him for purpose and strategy to recover much and much more.

I believe God is especially enabling His faithful bride to recover all “the spoils of the great victory of Christ, won for us through His death, resurrection and ascension” in manifest form (Is 33:23 TPT study note).

I believe God’s redeemed ones can receive a great fulfillment of His promises to glorify what Jesus did, as in Isaiah 33:23, which says, “…There will be a great plunder, such an abundant treasure divided that even the lame will seize their rich share.”

I believe our Lord is going so far as to position those who dwell with Him and are willing to be instrumental in facilitating miracles and multiplicity, wherever He assigns (Is 33:24).

I believe we are breaking through to a life of victory on a magnitude like we’ve never experienced. It’s what He has been growing us into all along—returning us to His great heritage for us as we have increasingly returned to Him.

I believe we are about to experience a flourishing above past pruning that many have endured. What was once cut back will now come forth as light and life. As gold revealed by grace for resolve.

I believe we will see grief disappear as God fulfills promises, not only for ourselves but for others, who have carried generations of grief from wrongdoing.

I believe where previous generations got it right before it went wrong, God is raising the righteous into the fullness of their righteous heritage.

Remaining strong by keeping eyes on Him is imperative as He redeems it all and establishes His glory even more in the earth.

So, let’s remember the Words of Moses in Exodus 15:2 AMP, which say that “The Lord is my strength and my song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”

Let us pray…

Dear Lord,

Thank You for Your salvation on the earth—spirit, soul and body. Thank You for Your strategies to recover destinies. Thank You for helping Your persevering ones to move into position to prosper and flow out of their prosperity like water to a dry land in new and miraculous ways (Is 35:5-6). Thank You for enabling us to enter in ready and equipped. Thank You for moving us into roles to showcase You in a grander way.

Thank You for fulfilling promises, bringing manifest redemption and positioning us for the next mega shift, even beyond the ones You are moving us into right now.

Thank You that we can expect to see the heritage of Your redeemed ones come to life again as You enable us to minister to them. Thank You for Your everlasting expressions of Your wholeness restored to Your beloved in a way that honors what You sent Your Son to do for us all.

We are grateful and we believe You to bring it to pass.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

Amen.

Dominion Strategy – Part 1

What does dominion even mean? And what is God’s strategy to apprehend it? 

Dictionary.com defines dominion as “The power or right of governing…sovereign authority. Rule.”

Hebrews 2:7 tells us that God gave us dominion over His creation. Having made us a little lower in status than the angels for a little while, God crowned us with glory and honor and appointed us over the works of His hands.

The Greek Word for appointed here means “to set in order” and “to place down permanently,” to “ordain” and to “conduct” (Strong’s #2525). It means to “put in charge, give standing (authority, status), which enables someone to rule (exercise decisive force)” (HELPS Words-studies).

To rule and reign on earth as it is in Heaven is what God intended for us from the beginning, all the way back in Genesis 1:26-28. He created us last and set us first in place as having dominion over all else on earth.

It was given to us before it was handed over to the enemy of our souls by Adam and Eve. And now, because of the finished work of the cross, Jesus gave this power of authority back to us.

God’s Word assures us that we are at peace with Him now and that we share in His resurrection life (Ro 5:10). Therefore, we are free to be led by peace and operate in the power of Holy Spirit in us to receive and do good things, extraordinary things, even miraculous exploits. And many of them (Jn 14:12).

The divine appointment for Father’s gracious recompense has always been there. God’s love has always been there. His glory and honor have always been there. His plan to prosper us has always been there (Je 29:11-13).

I love what King David prayed in Psalm 119:133 TPT, which was to “Prepare before me a path filled with your promises, and don’t allow even one sin to have dominion over me.”

We know we can receive God’s promises and freedom from sin, because of Christ in us. As wisdom personified, He graciously enables us to experience abiding success. (1 Co 1:24).

Ephesians 1:11-12 AMP remind us of His good plan and purpose for us by saying, “In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory.”

A couple of weeks ago, Holy Spirit highlighted the study note of Isaiah 33:23 TPT to me, which says, “yet God would be faithful to them…These are the spoils of the great victory of Christ, won for us through His death, resurrection, and ascension.”

What I believe our Lord revealed to me is that He has manifest “spoils of the great victory” for us and that these gifts require authenticity of heart and a true stepping up and out on His faith and peace.

Deep within us, we know what these gifts are, as we have held them in our hearts for what feels like a lifetime. As God has brought us into greater authenticity of heart in deeper relationship with Him, He is now releasing these gifts of spoils to us in a tangible way. He has been giving us confirmations, and we are about to see them manifest and made complete as our dominion.

Where there seemed to be no way in the past, God has not only made a way, He is revealing the way now as we move forward in His process for us. Our Lord is lining it all up and has opened the door and given all pertinent individuals involved the right heart to bring it to pass.

So, in order to receive God’s gifts that He has stored up for us in this season, we must continue to align with Him and His order of what He has set in place. We must believe and see and receive as He sees and reveals. We must trust Him, His good plan for us, believe in ourselves and be faithful.

I love how Galatians 5:22 in the Message version puts it. It says, “But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.”

Proverbs 8:16 TPT says that Godly wisdom empowers “princes to rise and take dominion, and generous ones to govern the earth.” Two of the definitions of wisdom are “insight” and “skill” (Strong’s #7919, #8454, #2450, #4678).

As we abide in Him, God releases clarity of insight to us and directs us to be skillful to make us victorious operationally. We know this to come through relationship with Him (1 Co 13:12).

So, if you’re ready to step into more of what God has for you, pray with me, if you will…

Dear Lord,

Thank You for Your plan to prosper me. I invite You to reveal specifics of Your dominion strategy and Your wisdom to me for this season. Help me to apprehend all you have for me and nothing that’s not of You for Your glory.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

Amen.
