Preface

This book was inspired by the deep need for fulfilment of one’s purpose; a strong sense of dissatisfaction and incompleteness in all spheres of life; a deeper hunger than religion could satisfy, yet the non-religious struggled to find solutions for.

It’s more than the proverbial finding God – as God really is not lost. It goes beyond being saved from some big, dark, evil enemy that perseveres in making you suffer.

You are not made to be a struggling people. You are not just part of the statistics of the human race for survival. No, you were not made to be a victim of circumstances. On the contrary. Circumstances are subject to you - to your orders! You create circumstances and they are bound to obey you!

One of the worst mistakes we make and deceptions we face in life is to see ourselves as subjects. Tradition tells us we are subject to everything; subject to life and its ‘unfair’ treatments. We see ourselves as poor, helpless wimps, on a journey through the ‘wildernesses’ of life.

Not so. The only ‘journey’ we are on is the mandated mission to reconcile and restore a broken world; a world of broken, warped mindset and inferior thinking. Yes, we are up against the ‘odds’…and that’s exactly what they are: ‘odd’ systems that recognise the real powerhouse of change that we are made to be; odds that are so afraid of us, that they fight to the death to survive our presence. The ‘odds’ are exactly that: they don’t fit with the norms of God’s creation. We are designed to be God’s norms – everything else is odd – a misfit.

We, however, allow ourselves to trade places: the odds become the ‘way of life’, while leadership, success, self-actualisation and change become the rare, unusual, odd occurrence. Only a few seem to find themselves is the envied, latter position and then they are seen as the exception to the rule; the nerds who don’t have a life, they are the ‘outliers’ of life. They are seen as the 10% who control 87% of the world’s wealth.

You are placed here to give life to a dead system, so you must, therefore, be the carrier of such life, yourself. The life must be in you!

Your experience in life depends solely on the position from which you see life.

"Where I AM" denotes a position – a spiritual position, a mental position, a strategic position, an authoritative position; a position of correct identity, correct capabilities, correct purpose, correct self-esteem, correct responsibility. It is a position of dominion that you once had and lost, by trickery.

God’s restorative process prepares that place in you, so you may continue living there, again.

I dare you to find the real you, take back your dominion as king and let the systems of this world know who’s boss! Fasten your seatbelts, because as you read, I know the excitement may get the better of you; you’ll be tempted to unlock your belts, hop off and take charge! But that’s dangerous, because you’ll realise you’re not quite there yet; there’s more…and you’ll miss it!! Read, to the very last drop, then go!!

You are in for the ride of your ‘life’ (pun intended).

This book is based on the original principles of your personal, individual fulfilled life. It is not a set of suggestions to help you to survive in a state of hardship and destitution. It opens your eyes to see you, the real you, the original masterpiece.

You, are more than meets the eye. Much, much more! What’s in the house, we see, is much greater than the house itself. We are Ambassadors of change and, as conduits, we carry the full essence and sense of the country and citizenship we represent.

Introduction

The profound statement uttered over 21 centuries ago and upon which this book is written, has had religions held in derision, the lazy more languid, procrastinators justifying their actions and lifestyle, the industrious critical and cynical. It has politicians scoffing at those who do not positively contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP) and the Human Development Index (HDI) of their country.

Misunderstood, this statement is used as the basis for greed, robberies and related criminal activities, selfishness, oppression, discrimination, impatience and, yes, religious separatist mindsets and behaviours.

Never before has this deep expression been unearthed, opened or revealed in its true, pure, original context as you are about to share in the coming pages.

This book takes you back to the root of your greatness, your beginning, your original, unique intended purpose. It re-engages your authority and rekindles your ability to productively occupy and span all three epochs of life - past, present and future – simultaneously. Using your powerful past to guide your present focus, you chart your future with the kind of precision and mindset that only kings are capable of demonstrating…that of dominion…intrinsic dominion.

As you digest this book, you will find that prosperity, success or excellent health is not merely an option or choice in life; it is a mandate; an order. It was yours from inception. You had it.

Then you ‘lost it’.

Taking it back then, should be a déjà vu experience for you! You can only take it back, when you recognise the fact that there are mansions in your house!

This incredibly amazing statement:

‘In my Father’s house are many mansions….’

has literally turned the world upside down…and is now revealed to you, to turn your world …right side up!

As I take you through the principles of who we are and were meant to be from the beginning, my discussion, and the layout of the sections of the book, will detail an empowerment focus:

PART A:

YOUR MANSIONS

GIVEN

SECTION A

YOU HAD IT!

(A)

YOU HAD IT

You were created, fully equipped, with everything needed for abundance in every respect.

Perfection, efficiency, intellectual brilliance, health, prosperity…. You were given the composite command to have dominion over all things and circumstances.

Given that command, you were then given all the tools to make it happen.

You had it. All of it.

You were bursting with power, potential and authority. You were the centre and initiator of the most powerful atmosphere ever. You were the ultimate in high voltage – literally!

There was no lack in you. You were, yourself, abundance and authority. The planet was made to listen to you.

Yes, you had it!

You had it!

: Given

"YOU

Are more powerful

Than you ever dared to think!

Know, unlock and release your God-given power

…and you can blow this planet apart

(or bring it together)!"

THERE ARE

MANSIONS

…IN YOUR HOUSE!

Fully Loaded

Do you know that you have the capability to do anything and everything? Yes. It is this kind of capability that God highlighted when men wanted to build a tower, the Tower of Babel. God specifically wanted us to see this principle of unlimited capability when He said lest they do as they set out; to build a tower up to heaven, I will confuse their language Genesis 11:6-7 [paraphrase]. We know that it is impossible to build an earthly tower that stretches up to heaven. Needless to say, God very well knew that too. So why did He make it seem like a real threat? He wanted us to see this principle of will, coming to life. If we have the will, we can do absolutely anything. Why is that? This is because, from the beginning, God made us with the power and the capacity to do absolutely anything that can be done; anything that the mind can conceive, it can achieve. It is this same capacity that God demonstrated when He made the heavens and earth and all that there is. He simply wanted us to understand that just the way He, by His thoughts coming to life, made everything possible, so we, as extensions of Himself, can do the same. You see, we were made with life-giving fire. The problem is, we don’t know that; many of us have not yet recognised it. It takes nothing but a re-birth for us to fully recognise our ability, our capability, to do all things. Yes, only a re-birth can achieve this.

Life-Giving Fire

Let us analyse just a little bit, the following words of deep wisdom:

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8 [Emphasis added]

The expression ‘the sound’, from the Greek phōnē (fo-nay'), has the implication of an address, a saying or language, a voice. Its root goes even further: to lighten, shine or make manifest, show, appear, be seen…a fire!¹

We were made with life-giving fire.

Everyone that is born again is re-endowed with that ‘fire’, to burn the path of life for others, through our own discovery, activation and powerful demonstration of our true potential.

To address this fundamental principle, we need to re-visit, and be reminded of, a few basics of real life.

The Heart

You were made with a heart that takes either of two positions: it can either please or irritate your manufacturer. Ever had a child or sibling that simply drives you nuts as a result of bad company or influence? Or, are you familiar with the expression: I brought you in this world, and I can take you out? God Himself expressed disgust at the choices man allowed his heart to lean towards.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Genesis 6:5-7

Present in the same era was the converse, where the heart that leaned towards good, resulted in God’s favour of life.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:8-9

…And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis 6:12-13

But with thee will I establish my covenant. Genesis 6:18 [Emphasis added.]

Heart lêb (labe) speaks of the feelings, the will, and even the intellect; the centre of anything.

The heart is the (attractant) communication channel for man.

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Proverbs 27:19

Communicate life!

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 [Until You, God, enter this into his spirit!]

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. Proverbs 12:25 [All emphases added.]

Strengthen Your Hands

We have perfected the gift of asking. We have developed a culture, a mindset, that anything we need, we must ask God for. We have established in our minds that it’s our duty to ask for whatever we need, instead of creating the circumstances that will provide whatever we need. When you are fully loaded, you don’t need anybody to strengthen you. As a matter of fact, it is established in the Life Manual (more commonly called the Bible), that you are made with enough substance to strengthen yourself; yes, strengthen your own hands! You are made of self-sustaining stuff!

Challenges are signals for you to draw on your inner resolve.

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. Nehemiah 2:18 [Emphasis added]

Strengthen châzaq (khaw-zak)' to fasten upon; to seize; be strong, courageous; repair, fortify; be constant, continue, encourage self; be established, maintain, be recovered; be stout, be urgent, behave self valiantly, withstand.

You are equipped to strengthen yourself:

And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel [who was 147 years old] strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. Genesis 48:2 [Emphasis added]

The prodigal son made his own decision to be restored: he said "I will arise". He summoned his own will, first: I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee…. (Luke 15:18)

•    When you strengthen yourself, action follows; something happens

•    the ability to strengthen yourself is already within you! You were made with that capacity!

•    God strengthens your heart, but you have to strengthen you!

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalms 27:14

Receive It

The concept of being fully loaded or fully equipped must be first received, and fully received, to be effected in our lives. Our main challenge with this awesome, mind-blowing concept and principle is to receive it in the first place. If we don’t receive it, it means nothing to us; we can never apply it.

When restored with the Spirit of God, we are fully loaded to do the extraordinary, in order to exercise dominion over extraordinary circumstances – situations we face with increasing frequency every day. Challenges of life get progressively more complex as we encounter frustrated, discouraged and distressed individuals. We are then called upon to release our mansions and produce otherwise impossible solutions.

Let us briefly look at the supernatural effect of the very presence of the indwelling Sprit of God. You may recall when Judas betrayed Jesus to a band of Pharisees, he had to do this with a kiss - or they would not have recognised Jesus. This is an indication of how ordinarily human He was, on the outside. His ‘house’ was like any other, the normal, average Joe. You see, what all these folks were upset about was the manifestation of the mansions inside His house; mansions that they had, but lost. He was so loaded, look at the effect of His very words, when they approached Him:

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. John 18:4-6

This represented a mere demonstration of the kind of power the Spirit of God carries. The Pharisees (or any other) could not handle this. Their world (atmosphere, climate, stronghold, culture) could not receive the awesome force or blast of His world. This kind of force was reserved for the disciples, to be received on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). It was reserved for you, for us, in the restoration of the dominion that - the events in Acts 2 represent!

The disciples had a ringside preview of that which they were about to have, living inside them. All they needed was a box of popcorn and some Coke and they would have front seats at the fights, watching their ‘Champ’, but He had to withhold Himself. Flesh was saying, Go get those bastards, but Spirit was saying, "No, not time yet. Chillax, let these, your boys, do it. Let them do it in their reign, with their own shape! Remember, you are the garment of My spoken Word, the same Word that promised Satan that the seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent’s head (not the ‘seed’ of the serpent, but his entire empire!…You can’t spoil a good fight here, these boys must not think that this is ‘tit-for-tat’, no, it’s my boys vs. an entire empire!"

They needed to receive this! They needed to:

1.  Understand that this is necessary. They must be taught the principles. Get it in their heads that dominion only begins (and can be complete) only when they can agree with Me to set the right atmosphere, create the right climates, create the right stronghold and establish the right cultures Or they will listen to the many voices in the air and not understand their meanings.

2.  Hunger for this. They need to be in situations that make them want this. Or they won’t appreciate the need; it will be just another ‘option’ that they have a right to refuse. They need to be up against tough decisions, temptations, failures, impossibilities, frustrations, immaturity.

3.  Submit. Let go of their small sphere of influence and receive mine. They must have their houses swept clean, have no other gods in their system, resist doubt and false doctrines, let go of traditions and be open to the excitement of the new.

Yes, you are equipped for full dominion when you discover and begin to activate your mansions. You face circumstances and situations with the confidence of a king. You are given authority to take dominion, again. In you, there is no lack. You are fully loaded!

‘You-Nique’

It is well-known that everyone has a unique ability to achieve the very best results, really. Everyone has personal talents to achieve the very best in life. As a matter of fact you, like everyone else, were made to achieve the very best. You are made to be the best that you can be; the best at what you can do, the best at your dreams, the best at your passion, the very best of anything that you can personally conceive as yours. You have a unique and distinct ability, factory-made; a factory installed in you before birth.

Have you ever felt really passionate about anything and noticed that others around you tend to be drawn to that very level of passion? Have you ever felt that you could just keep on doing a particular thing for the rest of your life, getting better and better at it every time and never get tired of it? Have you ever been excited about getting awesome results in what you do, while others commend you and recognise outstanding capabilities in you? Have you ever desired badly to continue getting these great results and have the feeling that you are king in this area? Have you ever found something that makes your thinking simpler and makes it easier for you to make decisions?

If you can identify anything in your life that gives you a definite ‘yes’ to the questions above then you have identified the area in which you are unique! Your individual purpose!

Whenever you find an area in which you are unique, an area that you enjoy functioning in, an area that gives you the feeling of lordship and ownership, then you find it very easy to say ‘no’ when your time and effort and energy might be required in any other area. You will say no and not feel guilty. When this happens you are automatically taking dominion over your niche in life. You’re taking dominion over what is rightfully yours and simply refusing to allow anyone else or anything else to occupy your resources in unproductive areas. One would say unproductive, in that whatever it is that you might be required to be involved in does not directly impact or empower you in the area that you are specifically created to dominate.

It doesn’t mean, then, that one should be selfish in life. On the contrary, what this is saying is that, as much as possible, as far as possible, you are expected to spend your time, effort and energies in empowering yourself so that you can be an asset or a blessing to others. As a matter of fact, saying no to what you do not have time for, or what you are not designed to do, gives someone else the opportunity to say yes to that thing for which he or she may have a passion and purpose. Oh, yeah.

It is, however, amazing to see how some people take this very essential and unique concept to the extreme. One can take this overboard and end up locked in his own world and eventually lose out on the essence of symbiosis and balance. There must be balance in all things.

However, as far as possible you are expected to maximise your time in empowering yourself because when you are personally empowered, then your thought process itself also becomes empowered. It is in a state of empowerment that you’re able to think more clearly of your neighbour, think more clearly of your friend, your counterpart and those to whom you relate on a daily basis.
