Dominion belongs to every believer who will accept the responsibility for exerting it. Jesus said,
Behold, T give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
He also said,
Verily T say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matt. 18:18).
After a person is converted, the devil seeks in every way possible to hide his position of authority from him. Satan knows that when the believer is aware of his privileges and power, he (Satan) will be completely defeated and his works destroyed.
An age-long strategy of the devil is to attack the believer in the area of confession. He knows a person will never rise above his confession. So he deceives the believer into confessing sickness, faults, and weakness, rather than making the promises of God his confession of faith. You are what you confess to be. The devil uses this means to keep you in bondage. Satan does not want you to confess dominion in Christ and victories by the blood. When you make these your confession, you exert dominion, authority, and power.
It is my observation that people don't like substitutes. For this reason, an automobile dealer will display a sign over his business which reads, "Authorized Dealer." The sign means that a consumer can expect factory-trained service for his car and the use of genuine parts—no substitutes.
In the spiritual world, Bible-believing Christians are "authorized dealers" of God's dominion. They have what God wants this world to have. It would be most fitting, therefore, for the Church to put up a sign which reads, "Authorized Dealer of God's Spirit and Power."
Dominion is not for the select few. It is for every disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is for you. Begin now to assert the rights and privileges that are yours as a child of God. I have always encouraged the lay members of my church not only to pray for themselves, but also to pray for others who are sick. I teach them to expect a miracle from God.
Today I offer you the same advice. Dare to believe! Dare to receive! Put divine dominion into practice in your life. Start now!
