Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

Many have talked for years about the Dominion Mandate.

How many of you have heard that phrase before, the Dominion Mandate?

I frankly believe in the Dominion Mandate. I've heard it called, in theological terms, oftentimes they'll use the word garden mandate.

I'm actually learning to call it the devotional opportunity.

More than a mandate, it's an opportunity.

And it is a mandate.

I understand that it's a mandate, but God's kingdom does not really operate primarily off of mandates. It operates off of permission salt and permission granted.

All of the kingdom operates off of you may and you may not.

See, Paul said, oh, that I may know him. Some may, some may not. Oh, that I may know him some may some may not oh that I may know him and the power

of his resurrection I know that the power of his resurrection is reality I just need to know that

permission has been granted for me to have an intimate connection with the reality of his

resurrection am I living my life in such a way that when I granted for me to have an intimate connection with the reality of his resurrection.

Am I living my life in such a way that when I say may I, he says yes, you may.

So we've learned here, and the Lord's teaching us more and more, that the two sides of the ladder,

picture a ladder in the room, the two sides of the ladder for us are

honor and devotion. They're honor and devotion. We used to believe that was side A of the wrongs and

side B of the wrongs and the Lord has shown us more clearly lately that it is actually not the

wrongs of the ladder that are honor

and devotion it's the sides that hold the steps the steps are called order because we know the

steps of a good man or ordered of the lord if you have honor and devotion operating in infrastructure

then you're going to have permission to go up the ladder
