Dominion Authority

Psalm 119:133 – “Establish my footsteps in Your word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me."

Dominion is a legal term that implies ownership. The Psalmist understood that how we walk and where we allow our footsteps to take us will inevitably determine who owns us. Only the naive believe they are their own lord and master. The prudent know that God's word empowers Christ's dominion to rule where the flesh and the devil would otherwise be enthroned.

Jesus told us to pray that we would not be lead into temptation, but to be delivered from evil (Matthew 6:13). The only way this will happen is to give ourselves to what God's word says about us. We are overcomers and victorious if we are in Christ, whether we believe it or not. However, believing what God says will inevitably allow Him to rule with power and dominion through those who would but trust.
