What does the Lord God require?

That your ego takes the passenger seat, making way for your spirit.

Your natural man was never designed to carry the burdens of life. When the Three made mankind they created man and woman in their own image, giving them stewardship of the created order.

“Dominion” is the word good ole’ King James uses.

This innate mandate still courses through the invisible veins of men. The problem is that the mandate has been cut off from the Maker.

Misplaced mandates lead to all sorts of madness!

God has called you to make a difference in the world. He has blessed and commissioned you to rule within your sphere of influence.

The first place to dominate is your ego.

Firmly planting your face to the floor or knees to the boards harnesses all of that wonderful egocentric energy to something that doesn’t shift.

Unleashed it will strain at the bit to compete and compare. It will ache to take the glory, and grizzle when others succeed. One day ego will think it’s Superman, and the next will lambast you for being such a loser.

Ego is fickle.

But connected to God it can conquer.

Your sense of self-worth is not measured by the metrics of the world.

It is shaped by the everlasting love of the One who has called and commissioned you.

Bow low and you will rise knowing who you truly are!
