Genesis 1:28 NIV 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Gen. 1: 28 – “ 28  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

That’s an expression of dominion. Jesus one day came across a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years. 38 years laying on a mat. 38 years held down by Satan on a mat. 38 years in bondage to this mat. John 5: 8-9 – Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.”

The Law of Total Surrender Law of total surrender says, “All I am and all that I have belongs to God.” Jesus made some shocking statements: Luke 14:26 – “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”

We have been studying the subject of dominion. Our goal is to help move believers to EMPOWERED stage of spiritual life. Psa. 8:6 – “You have made [man] to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.”

Gen. 1:25 – “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our Image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’”

May the Good Lord give you this year. UNUSUAL KINDNESS | UNUSUAL ACCEPTANCE | UNUSUAL ACCESS. Numbers 6:24-26 – “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;   the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’

Micah 2:13 – “The One who breaks open the way will go up before them;  they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.”

YOU ARE ONE RELATIONSHIP AWAY FROM THE NEXT LEVEL OF YOUR LIFE. Divine Burden Bearers Faithful people who stay with you through difficulty until you prosper. Loyal people who help you navigate through the storms of life. Burden bearers are not looking for your crown but for your cross to help you carry it. There are times in your life when you will need people who stay. Prv. 17:17 – “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”

Luke 11:5-8 NVI   5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[a] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.

We are studying the powerful subject of “Unlocking Doors.” Please turn in your Bibles to  Luke 8:10 – “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God…”

Genesis 26:12 (NIV)   12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him.

Isaiah 54:1-3 NIV The Future Glory of Zion 54 “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

Isaiah 54:1-3 NIV The Future Glory of Zion 54  “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

This story is about people risking everything to seek Jesus with all their hearts. Matt. 2: 1-12

Matt. 2:1-2 “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
