#1 Man: Having Domenion Over The Earth

What happened?

Man gave it away...There was no one on earth greater than man.

Dominion:  Sovereign, or supreme authority; the power of governing and controlling.

Gen:1,26-28

26 And God said Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and overall the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen:2,18,21-24

18 And the LORD GOD said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

21 And the LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Amos:3-3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

God's warning to man!!!

Gen:2,8-9,15-17

8 And the LORD GOD planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the LORD GOD to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

15 And the LORD GOD took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD GOD commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Rev:12,7-9,12

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

V-12...Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Gen:3,9-15

9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

1Tim:2-14

“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”

Is:54-17  (We must understand)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. 

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Lk:4-6

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

The promise, Gen:12,1-2 all the families of the earth will be blessed because of

God introduces himself to Abrim, Gen,17-1

The Covenant, every man child must need be circumcised, Gen:17-12

God's Covenant law the Ten Commandments, Deut:4-13

A New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Jacob: Jer:31,31-34 

Jesus the redeemer, Ephe:1-7 Through him we have redemption through the blood.

If thou confess with thy mouth and believe in thy heart: Rom:10,8-10

If you love me keep my commandments, Jn:14,14,21,23

Jesus has the preeminence overall: Col:1-18

Baptized into Christ have put on Christ, Gal:3-27

We shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ Rom:5-17... In Christ, we can reign in this life now over our enemy Satan the devil and his demons, with the spoken word of God to protect ourselves, family and friends when he comes against us.

Lk:4,1-12; Jesus said it is written and drove the devil away, our perfect example.

Man regain his authority in Christ: Lk:10-19, isn't this what God told man in Gen: chapter 1

Greater is he in me: 1Jn,4-4

Our weapons are not carnal, (2Corth:10-4) but mighty through God to the pulling down of the stronghold who has given us his word, the whole armor of God, ministering spirits, angels to fight and minister for us.

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us that believe, Ephe:1-19

 A demonstration of the Spirit, and power of God working miracles.

Definition of exceeding; Great, very great

If God get angry with you and send an evil angel to do some harm, there is nothing you can do about it.

But, if you are walking in righteousness, God has a hedge of protection around you and there is nothing that can harm you. Job1,9-10

Notice why was that hedge of protection around Job? v-9 Why, because Job feared God!!!

Ps:23-1-6 The Lord is my Shephard I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pasture, He leadeth me beside the still waters 

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies, thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Ecc:12-13, Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
