Dominating Faith

Dominating Faith

This is faith that rules circumstances.
In Hebrews 1:3 we see a picture of Jesus.
“Who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Here He is not only a creator, but He also dominates what He has created.
He rules the universe by the Word of His power.
Here is an illustration of His dominating the forces of nature.
Matt. 8:26 “Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.”
Jesus ruled the wind and the sea.

How His authority staggered those who observed it.
They said, “What manner of man is this that commandeth the winds and the waves and they obey him?”
In Luke 5:1-11 we see Him ruling the fish of the sea.
He had used Peter’s boat for a little while as a pulpit. Then He paid for the use of it
He said, “Peter did you catch anything last night?”
Peter answered, “No, Master.”
Jesus said, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets.”
Peter said, “1 know Master there are no fish here, but at thy word, I will let down the nets.”
The nets were filled instantly.
That is dominating faith.

Mark 1:32-34 “And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.”
Jesus ruled demons and they recognized His dominion over them.
John 11:39-44 At the raising of Lazarus He was Master over death.
He said, “Roll away the stone.” Then He commanded Lazarus to come forth.
Jesus had dominating faith.
He ruled demoniacal forces. He ruled the works of the Devil. He was Master.
He commanded a tree to die and it died from the roots up.
He was the absolute Monarch of the laws that govern the Universe.
