God wants our bodies & minds
So we can be transformed into who we’re supposed to be
John 16:12-13
"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
It’s too heavy for you to pick up and carry
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth
Reality, unveiled reality
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth
I am trying to teach us our true nature – Grow from Grace to Greatness
“There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path”
– Morpheus
We must learn to walk in & function in our true nature
If we don’t, God’s work will be limited
Because we play a critical role in what God does in the earth
God’s activity is connected to the power in me
Eph 3:20. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
That’s why the enemy fights to keep me in my ‘flesh’ nature – powerless
I’m “unveiling truth” that quickens your spirit-man – “deep to deep”
But, our experiences & realities keep us from entering that truth
1 Thess 5:19. Don’t quenched the Spirit – Don’t stop your spiritual nature
Instead of having dominion, we are victims under ‘the circumstances’
Jude 5-6
I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day
When we don’t operate in our proper dominion we become bound
What stops us from operating in our dominion is unbelief
The key is believing that you are who God says you are
And walking in what He says about you
We are supposed to live in the Dimension of Dominion
Heb 4:1-2
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
We can only enter Dominion by having the Faith to Rest
We are seated with Him in heavenly places – Eph 2:6
Dominion starts with Worship – even when there is a battle
Why worship?
Because Worship positions us in the presence of God
When we learn to sit & rest in His presence, look at what happens
Ps 110:1-2
The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool."
2 The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
Rule in the midst of Your enemies!
Our Father, Who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name – Worship
Every day commit to operate in Dominion from your Spiritual nature
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven
In whatever sphere you’re in – circle of influence
You are to show people what it’s like to live from the Kingdom
Wake up every morning & commit to be sensitive to His guidance
Isa 50:4-5
"The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear like one being taught.
5 The Lord God has opened My ear;
and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back.
Give us this day our daily bread – not just natural but spiritual
Don’t hesitate in being obedient to that guidance
Isa 30:21. Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say,
"This is the way you should go," whether to the right or to the left.
“Whatever He says do, DO IT”
Have the faith to do what He says – mix the Word with Faith
His direction guarantees Success & Increase
Isa 48:17. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
"I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who leads you by the way you should go.”
One of the biggest enemies to Faith is our Feelings
John 4:31-34
In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." 33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?" 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
Jesus was physically exhausted – His flesh needed food & rest
Jesus yielded to the His Spirit in the moment
“My food, my energy comes from doing His will”
Push past the desire for comfort, our timidness, our fears
Finish the work
Begin your day by putting yourself in His presence – Worship
Commit to live from the Kingdom – Do His Will
Live by His Word – Daily Bread
