Dominate by the Authority and Anointing of Christ
John 20:21 Then said Jesus …, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
1 John 4:17 (NIV) This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
Revelation 5:9-10 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The reason why Jesus has sent you into the world the same way the Father sent His is that He has made you just as the Father made Him. You are one with Him, 1 Cor. 6:17. You have what it takes to live and function just like Jesus on this earth and in every area of your life. As you approach life with the consciousness and mindset that you are just like Jesus, nothing will be impossible for you. You will dominate and prosper just as Jesus would if He were in your shoes. You are not ordinary. By the virtue of what Jesus has done for you on the Cross of Calvary you are now a king and a priest and you will reign on the earth. You shall dominate, succeed and have great influence.
Just as God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power and Jesus went about doing exploits (Acts 10:38), God has anointed you with the Holy Ghost also. That same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you (Rom. 8:11) and His resurrection power is at work in your life, Eph. 19-20. People like Joseph, David and Daniel could do things that great people around them could not do, because of the ability they received from the Spirit of God that was actually limited or in a measure. Right now, because of the life of Jesus that you have in you, you have received the fullness and unlimited unction of God’s Spirit. You have the Holy Ghost advantage and you are empowered to get greater results than all the great people in the Old Testament. As you go about your life and responsibilities today, know that you are not saying or doing anything on your own power or authority. You are saying and doing everything in the name or authority of Jesus, Col. 3:17. Jesus has sent you and you have His full backing and His resources. You are complete in Him, Col. 2:10.
Faith Declaration:
I am one with Jesus. As Jesus is, so am I in this world. Today I dominate, succeed and have great influence by the life of Jesus in me.
