Dominion DNA - a podcast by Hari Rao

This week’s episode is a continuation of last week's teaching, possessing the gates of the enemy. We will be teaching you how to first have dominion within you.

As a child of God, Scripture tells us how we ought to function, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14). We were not given the spirit of slavery, rather we were given the spirit of liberty through the Holy Spirit. We are meant to be led by the Spirit of God daily, not by past experiences or memories.

We are not only called to have dominion on the outside, dominion starts from the inside of us. We must first learn to rule the gates that the enemy tries to plant and place within our souls.

The enemy is not so powerful to know the sovereign plans of God, therefore how he operates is not by challenging the plan, but he challenges the one that is meant to carry out the plan. He does that by setting up controlling powers within the soul, and strongholds in the mind, and from that operates in people’s lives.

The enemy tries to plan his attacks in advance by creating situations and experiences and introducing ideas in the mind and soul to corrupt the thoughts and behaviors of people. This is the internal battle that each one of us faces, being pulled to be led by past experiences and memories or being led by the Spirit of God.

It’s important that we daily renew our mind, because when God speaks, He speaks to us in our spirit, but in order to understand, we must use the faculties of the soul. The soul is the filter the Voice comes through. The bigger war is on the inside.

Keys to exercise dominion within you:

1- Be led by the Spirit of God

The only way to have dominion is to be led by the Spirit. The Spirit life is the life of dominion. If we’re not daily led by the Spirit of God, we can easily get carried away by being led by emotions and corrupted intuitions.

2- Dominion is part of the Spirit of Sonship

We can’t understand dominion without understanding sonship in Christ. Sonship is a place of maturity. Only the mature and sober-minded in Christ can handle dominion. As your spirit matures, the less the carnal excites you. You can have the great anointing, but if you don’t mature your life can’t go up because you haven’t developed the requirements for the next level. You can be gifted but have low influence. Dominion is directly connected to your spiritual maturity in Christ.

Power over Environments

In the book of 1 Samuel, we see that Samuel was born and grew up in a corrupted environment with bankrupt leadership. Despite his circumstances, he was not a product of his environment.

Child of God, it doesn’t matter how corrupt your environment is, you must realise that within you is the very presence of God. You shift environments, environments don’t shift you. When you realise the light inside of you, the environment will bend to accommodate who you are.

In Christ, you are the superior environment and the greater light. When you are born again, you become the tabernacle of God, so wherever you go, peace, light, and dominion goes! You are the dominion of God.
