The title of the message today is Dominion.

And what I want to do is take you through some scriptures

that you're probably familiar with,

but you may not be familiar with the way I'm going to use them. I'm going to use

and I'll go into this more in the more than word series I'm going to use contextual

exegesis which means I'm drawing the meaning out of the

scripture from the context. So it's important for you to understand that so that you

can see what we're talking about all right? So we'll get to John 14 in a moment, but

before we do, let me read you just a few other scriptures, all right? When Satan tempted

Jesus, he said this to him in Luke 4, verse 6,

and the devil said to him, all this authority I will give you and their glory, for this has been delivered and I put in parentheses

they're given over that's what the word delivered means this has been given

over to me and I give it to whomever I wish. Now I'm going to

have to go through a lot of scriptures so I'm just going to have to make it quick today

with you. But who gave the dominion to the enemy? Well, Adam and Eve did because God gave

them dominion. Genesis 128. Then God bless them, that's Adam and Eve, and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply,

fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air

over everything that moves on the earth.

So God gives dominion to Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve handed over to the enemy when they sin.

And then Satan says to Jesus I've got all the authority I've got

all the dominion I can give it to anyone I won't Jesus doesn't argue with him
