  1. The Dominion Mandate

  2. The first Commandment God gave to man is known as the Dominion Mandate. Genesis 1:26, 28 The Dominion Mandate was repeated to Noah and to his family after the flood. Gen 9:1-7. These scriptures refer to mankind's dominion over animals and the land. Eventually we will be restored to Adamic rule and reign.

  3. Dominion as God descibes it is LIFE GIVING It requires subordination. It is expansionist. Both Adam and Eve and Noah's clan were to exercise control of the resources around them to create a viable community that expanded to fill the earth.

  4. We often avoid the word 'dominion' because it is so close to domination. The difference between these two words is the objective. Domination-to force someone else to submit, at personal cost to them, for your benefit. There is a distinct win/loose nature to this. Dominion- is life giving. It forces someone else to submit for their benefit.

  5. As parents we walk in Dominion. We train our children in life skills, to do chores etc because we believe it is good for them. Dominion is the extreme opposite of victimization. In victimization, demons and people try to damage you in some way. 1 Peter 2:9 As a royal priesthood our basic call is to build up and not tear down.

  6. The purpose of ANY subordination of one person to another should be for the purpose of restoring the individual and the World into God's original design!! THAT IS DOMINION.

  7. Subordination, forced or voluntary, that is NOT life giving, is exploitation and we call it domination! !!!! We are not called to dominate the whole earth! We ARE called to take dominion and subdue the whole earth. Matthew 18:18-20 Romans 8:22

  8. Dominion vs. Victimization.

  9. Dominion is the opposite of predator-induced victimization. The predator exploits for the joy of inflicting damage!! Someone who walks in dominion, builds up those around them for the joy of partnering with them and God, in restoring.

  10. The predator is opportunistic. Those who walk in dominion are like Caleb and David who saw a desirable mountain and proactively took out the enemy stronghold that seemed impregnable! Basically-predators suck the life out of their victims. The highest form of dominion is when we are equipping others to possess their OWN BIRTHRIGHT.

  11. The Predator Spirit.

  12. This demon is the primary partner with the victim spirit. It thrives on inflicting physical and emotional pain on others for pleasure. The victim spirit is skilled at leading us to a predator. We can be victims and predators at the same time-hurt people, hurt people.

  13. The Poverty Spirit.

  14. This demon works primarily with a person's mindset to keep them from possessing their birthright. There are 4 common manifestations of a poverty mindset. 1. A person cannot accept and keep the good things that come to them. 2. They feel uncomfortable surpassing their peers. They usually downplay professional and academic excellence-displaying false humility.

  15. 3. They are unwilling to pay a price to achieve. The pain of making a change, taking a risk, facing the unknown is reason enough to downplay their expectations. 4. They are satisfied with less than God's best for themselves. When you recognize that you have allowed a victim spirit to prevent you from walking in dominion-you can be set free!!!
