– Dominion is a topic that many of us talk about but few of us really possess.
– Dominion in its simplest form is power, authority or control over something or someone.
– It is the ability to request or command and expect a fulfilment of that appeal. To have dominion is to rule, to be in charge.
– For a saint of God understanding dominion is crucial to his walk with God. A lack of understanding in this area could cost him spiritually and naturally too.
– Dominion is about knowing who you are in Christ and understanding that in you, through Him is the power to lay hold onto the promises of God and possess them.
– Dominion is understanding that you can do what God said you can do,
have what God said you can have and be what God said you can be.
