TEACHING EXPOUNDED.
A. We Had Dominion
Genesis 1:26–28
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.”
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Psalm 8:6
You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet.
B. Satan Became Ruler of the World
2 Corinthians 4:4
Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Ephesians 2:2
In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.
1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 8:23
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”
John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
John 14:30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
John 16:11
Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 17:11–12
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:14–16
I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
C. Jesus Took Dominion Back
Ephesians 4:9
(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?)
Colossians 2:15
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
D. Jesus Gave Dominion to Us

“When you use My Name, it opens the door for Me to do it.”
Matthew 28:18–19
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
Mark 16:17
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues…
James 4:7
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Ephesians 4:27
Nor give place to the devil.
1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Colossians 1:27
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Ephesians 1:20–21
Which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Ephesians 2:6
And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
