In Genesis 1:26 the Lord says, "Let Us make man in Our image, to be like Ourselves; let man have dominion... over all the earth."
That word "dominion" in the Hebrew is radah, and it means to "prevail, rule, reign, to tread down." The Lord's original intent for man was for us to be a part of Him, to be His family in intimate relationship with Him, and go forth from that to rule and reign in the earth, prevailing over every work of the enemy, treading down anything that did not look like how our Father created the earth to be.
Wow!
Yes, man lost that dominion authority at the Fall when we chose to rule our own lives as opposed to allowing God to be Lord, but Jesus Christ came and won back all that was lost (2 Peter 1:2-4). He not only has restored us to relationship with our Heavenly Father, but in that relationship we are restored to having dominion authority in the earth! *
People of God, we must return to our first LOVE, humble ourselves and pray, and seek the face of God.
Let us stand together as a family of God and interceed on behalf of our states, our nation, and the Nation of Israel. Lift your voices in unison and ask the Lord of the Harvest to send forth more workers! Let us humble ourselves on behalf of our nation and our leadership and
pray for our nation to return as a nation that is truly united in this:
ONE NATION UNDER GOD
