What is the Spirit of Dominion?

I remember chatting with a friend. He said to me, Alicia? What would you rather have, love, money or power? I said, “POWER!” He looked at me and said, “Well I’ll take the money.” Then I said, “Well if I had power, I could take your money and have love too! I didn’t realize the spirit and humanness of that heartfelt and simple conversation. I don’t know where that random question came from. I didn’t notice at the core of my Spirit there was dominion DNA inside of me. It was naturally there, I just didn’t notice it.

Even with children, you care for them, they reach the toddler age and they tell you “Oh, I can do it by myself.” They are dead serious. You look at them and think “You just landed on this earth 12 months ago, now you are talking & telling me, you can do this by yourself?" What??? That is the Spirit of Dominion. It’s there.

The pursuit of power is the motivation of the human heart. We desire to control our environment and what’s happening to us. We want to control what’s going on. It’s the nature and spiritual heart of mankind. Man was created to exercise power and manage that power but never dominate people.

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.” - Moses

This was a part of God’s desire to extend his rulership from the supernatural realm to the physical by dominating the earth and the resources of the earth.
