OUR CHRISTIAN DOMINION

God created us in His image and ordained us to have dominion by what we permit to direct our lives. We cannot control God or other people, but we decide how things affect us, and God judges us for this. I have authority to follow Christ, and reject Satan. Adam lost paradise but Christ gives abundant life to me, if I trust Him unconditionally. By prayers and faith in Christ, I loose the bands of wickedness, undo the heavy burdens, and let the oppressed go free. Christ took our place on the cross for our sins. He defeated death and hell, and rose again. I know that God controls everything, but I control my reaction to God, worldly temptations and myself. I seek always to be like Christ and resist the devil, sin, sickness, and poverty, in Jesus’ name. By His blood and grace, I receive holiness, health, and prosperity for both the unsaved and my purpose for living. I give to the poor and worship God. I wait on the Lord all the seasons of my life. I accept people with God’s love and serve them as Christ directs by His word and Spirit, knowing that we are blessed or cursed by our motives and attitudes. Nothing is impossible as we pray, read, think, and unite in Him for Christ’s glory.

CHAPTER ONE

His Sovereignty

[2 Tim. 1:9]

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

God Almighty, the King and loving Father of Jesus Christ, has absolute control over the seasons of your life, from your conception to your final burial. He knows everything about anything that has to do with you [Ps. 139]. This means He also regulates those you will meet, and whether they perceive you as valuable or insignificant. Plus, some people you wish to know but have never encountered, God kept away by his providence, because He, you, or they, were not ready for the merger. Where you travel, how you get there, and when you depart from that location is His decisions. The extent of your abilities and the impact you will have on a given situation are facts He decreed before you were born [Dan. 4:35]. So it is painful to oppose God’s will and a useless effort on our part to rebel, yet essential that we trust Christ and demonstrate Him at all times.

Our responsibility is to love Him with all of our hearts, soul, and minds, and love our neighbors as we love ourselves [Matt. 22:36-40]. Godly love empowers us to produce maximum benefits from minimum resources. Miracles happen to multitudes through Christ’s servants, by faith in God. Therefore, surrendering to Him is vital.

The special rewards in life that your obedience will produce, or the punishments your secret sins earn, has been designated by God’s decree from the time you were born until this moment, and even forevermore. God’s regulation of human affairs covers not just you, but the people beside you, before you, and after you. God controls everything, everywhere, all the time, to guide us to trust Christ as our Savior and Lord [Rom. 8:28]. Believe me, God will marvelously honor your submission.

Absolutely no one ever fails or rises above adversity unless God supports them [1 Sam. 2:1-10]. Our free will is not simply responding to events, but to the God who allowed them for our personal missions. All events are actually invitations to live life on His level, with his power and results. Accept God’s offer and ascend over difficulties. Our circumstances are to be evaluated by God’s word.

No matter what men, women, angels, or demons, attempt in our lives, the one supreme, merciful, loving God is holding the reins, for our good and His Glory. He says, be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth [Ps. 46:11]. Trust Him.

We change what we can as quickly as we can, and leave the rest in God’s hands. Victory is more than just winning; it is being true to Christ. Everyday troubles are gifts from God to demonstrate our commitment to Him. God wants more of Himself in us, and our behavior is the key [James 4:5-10].

His love oils the wheels of providence in our favor when we live for Christ in the midst of conflict. Yet, He is the God of our destinies, whatever our mistakes, or the actions of our enemies. God’s laws are always operating for or against us. Our lack of commitment to Christ hinders us from heaven and His nature in our affairs, but it does not hinder Him from His objectives for humankind. Our selection is if we shall end up in heaven or hell, He decides our daily results [Prov. 16:33]. Let us joyfully live to please Him and obtain the best of everything in any situation.

We are the creatures and He alone is the Sovereign Creator. Never limit the goodness of God toward you by the behavior of people. However, always give them justice, and their due respect. None of our achievements deserve God’s mercy. Christ’s blood is the source of our righteous favor from God. God precedes you, overrules you, holds you up, and comes behind you. No matter how you keep forgetting Him, His love is the same [Mal. 3:6]. Come back to Him again, and again until you never stray.

Problems eventually disappear when we know His Word regarding a subject and stay with it. God is first concerned about what He has said [Jer. 1:12]. If you intentionally gave yourself to Him once, your reservation for heaven remains intact, irrespective of your failures or feelings, unless you have totally denounced Christ in your heart and refused publicly to serve Him. in such a case, you would not be reading this book. Whatever you think, God is calling you now. If you can recognize good from evil, He is still in you. He has led you to read this message so you will stop running from Him and live with Him [Rom. 8:28,29].

He has a plan for your life that will benefit others. You were created by His design as a male or a female. God has adopted you into His family. it happened when you repented for your sin nature and believed Christ died for you. Once you trusted the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ, God and you became covenant allies [James 2:23]. He understands your confusion. He is still with you. True friends are like that.

True good deeds are really a reflection of Christ in your heart. He (the person) that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He (God) is righteous [1 John 3:7].

You stand for Christ. He stands for your eternal salvation. Expect good feedback from your daily righteous efforts, feeble, as they seem to be at times. God will help you to mature spiritually. No devil can prevent what God has ordained for you. Even your weaknesses were already figured into His plan to develop your commitment to learn spiritual truth [1 Cor. 15:10]. Yet, do not be lazy, but fight hard to maintain victory. His plan is for you to have victory over sin, sickness and poverty [Isa. 53:4,5]. Those who are faithful to Him are champions inwardly by the depths of their righteous convictions. His Spirit of Holiness within us is our finest reward. The world must have righteous leaders so He promotes us publicly for the human service He has prepared for us to accomplish. Furthermore, He declares eternally that we shall live with Him in Heaven by His grace [Deut. 28:15; 1 John 3:16] if we are honest with Him and deal with our sins.

The negative portion of His plan is that those rebellious to Christ lose everything in life that their selfishness has acquired and suffer torments forever in hell [Deut. 28:15; 1 John 5:12]. God does not promise that only good things will happen to all of His children. However, He promises whatever happens to any of us, He will make good come from it, if we continue to trust Him and do His Will.

Just as the devil operates in our lives by our fears, [Job. 3: 25], God operates by our faith in Christ. Faith must be stated when you sense it the least, because that is when it is required the most. Never forget this, His purpose for our existence is that we might be identical to Jesus in nature and conduct. Be like Him and speak your desires into existence.

God declares that ultimately He will remove all evil from this planet [Rev. 21:1-4]. It will happen either the bitter—sweet way now, by us individually overcoming the pleasures of our flesh to fellowship with His Spirit and Word, or the horrible way later, of flaming judgment on the earth for those who oppose God [2 Pet. 3:10]. Christ and His heavenly armies shall return to conquer evil at the end of the Tribulation Period concluded in [Rev. 19]. You will be on one side or the other then, just as you are now.

Then His Kingdom, of which we present believers are now members, shall rule a righteous Earth for a thousand years with no wars, natural holiness, perfect health, ultimate prosperity, and full happiness. This was the first resurrection [Rev. 20:15]. After this, Satan is again loosed [Rev. 20:7-10], and he leads those who still chose to doubt God in a brief rebellion against Christ, before he is eternally cast into the lake of fire to be tormented forever and ever. Next takes place the second resurrection, which Christians reading this book shall avoid. It is for the unsaved dead of all generations to be condemned forever for their sins [Rev. 20:11-15].

Finally, with all disobedience omitted, God begins the New Heavens and the New Earth, which is a paradise; the New Jerusalem, with no sickness, sin or death [Rev. 21:1-5].

[Be sure to greet me there and tell me my book helped you to be faithful to Christ. That is the reason it is written].

We shall experience the direct presence of God for eternity [Rev. 22:1-5] if we believe, love and obey Christ now. Be sure you are doing this daily. You know how susceptible your flesh is to temptation. You know the imaginations of your mind, so you know what to repent of in order to avert a tragedy.

Faith in Christ, with corresponding actions, is the only way to heaven. The Bible says, God; who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God [Rom. 2:6-11].

God is the Sovereign Ruler of all creation. Trust Him and obey Him for the destiny of your life. You can get wonderful results from God if you earnestly follow His good plans that He has ordained for you [Deut. 8:18]. His Sovereignty demands His creatures operate in the authority He delegated to them. God commands our supreme love [Matt. 22:36-40], just as we wish exclusive devotion
