It has always been the Lord's intent to have a "people" who, from a place of intimacy and relationship with Him, would rule and reign in dominion authority on the earth. We see this in His very first thoughts toward man. In Genesis 1:26 the Lord says, "Let Us make man in Our image, to be like Ourselves; let man have dominion... over all the earth."

Dominion and Subdue

That word "dominion" in the Hebrew is radah, and it means to "prevail, rule, reign, to tread down." The Lord's original intent for man was for us to be a part of Him, to be His family in intimate relationship with Him, and go forth from that to rule and reign in the earth, prevailing over every work of the enemy, treading down anything that did not look like how our Father created the earth to be. Wow!

After God formed man, He blessed him and told him to fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion over all of creation (Genesis 1:28). We already know about the word dominion, but let's take a look at that word subdue. In the Hebrew it is "kabash" and it means "to bring into subjection." In other words, God gave us dominion so we can walk in His authority in the earth and bring every part of creation back into being subject to His Kingdom – the King's domain where the King's dominion has rule!

Yes, man lost that dominion authority at the Fall when we chose to rule our own lives as opposed to allowing God to be Lord, but Jesus Christ came and won back all that was lost (2 Peter 1:2-4). He not only has restored us to relationship with our Heavenly Father, but in that relationship we are restored to having dominion authority in the earth!

Throughout His time with the disciples, Jesus mentored them in how to step into their dominion authority and be releasers of Heaven in the earth. He helped them understand, in knowing who He was and what He had come to do, what would be available to them once again, and how they would be able to release Heaven into the earth to see all restored to the way it was before the Fall (Matthew 16:18-19).

He taught them that it all begins with the revelation of restored relationship ("Our FATHER, who is in Heaven" Matthew 6:9), realizing that we are truly made in His image and created to express His Kingdom into the earth (Matthew 6:10). Jesus worked with the disciples – loving them, mentoring them, challenging them, encouraging them – over and over again until they were ready to receive the revelation in the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and step out to change the world.

A Generation of Believing Believers

The book of Acts is the telling of that generation of Believers who chose to believe, positioned themselves to receive, and went forth to express the Kingdom into the earth.

It is time for another generation of believing Believers to come to truly understand what Jesus has restored to us through the Cross, and step into the fullness of that relationship and have great impact in the earth. It is time for us to occupy our Kingdom authority so that we can occupy the earth and make it as it is in Heaven!

Just like Jesus taught the disciples, it all begins with prayer (Luke 11:1-2). So let's pray this month, each of us, for the Body of Christ as a whole. Let's join in agreement and declare:

  1. That we will come into a greater revelation of the restored relationship we have with our Heavenly Father and His Kingdom through the Cross!

  2. That in revelation of our sonship we will occupy the full authority we have in the earth and bring all of creation back into subjection to the dominion of the King!

  3. That every neighborhood, city, state, region, and nation we go into will be forever changed as we pray, say and do what the Father shows us and we see Heaven invade every place we go and everyone we meet.

  4. That the increase of His government shall know no end, and as we, the Body, occupy our authority, we will take back all that has been stolen by the enemy – in our own lives and in the lives and regions of those around us!

  5. That we will see God's Kingdom come through us as never before and become bold expressions of the finished work of the Cross, stepping out to enforce the complete, total and utter victory of the Risen Lord over every work and manifestation of the enemy.

As you pray this month please remember... You are MIGHTY, and mightily appreciated by all of us at XP Ministries. God bless you!
