Psalms 8:4-8 NKJV What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen — Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea

Speaking of fools:
Psalms 49:14 NKJV Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them;
The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
Ephesians 2:6-7 NKJV and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Revelation 2:25-28 NKJV But hold fast what you have till I come.  26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations —  27 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels' — as I also have received from My Father;  28 and I will give him the morning star.

“ Who is a God like Your God ? Who can control the stars and stop the sun in the sky but Me ?  Who made the heavens and the earth ?  It is I AM Who has DOMINION and power over all other authorities.  I AM the Almighty One of Israel. There is no other like Me.  Will the gods of wood and stone save when the mountains fall and the earth quakes and the seas roar ?  Will the Kaabah save when bombs explode ? There is none like the God of Jeshurun who rides on the clouds.

Deuteronomy 33:26 "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you,And in His excellency on the clouds.

I have given authority to all who call upon My name to rule and reign with ME in the heavenlies.  I have called you to have dominion with Me, to rule and reign as a kingdom of priests.  You are the head and not the tail !  You are sons and daughters who obey ME and seek My face.  ACT LIKE SONS AND DAUGHTERS !  TAKE AUTHORITY !
The enemy has been busy with causing fear, doubt and unbelief to rise in your hearts,
But I have not called you to any of this.  ARISE from your weariness and weakness, and speak out with authority against the enemy.  SPEAK and DECLARE the scriptures that will subdue him under your feet !  DO NOT BACK DOWN. YOU are My beloved and I am yours.  Yes he is working to weary you and wear you down.  But LEAN on ME and I will give you strength.  Come away with Me, and I will heal your wounds.

There is a great divide in My church because of unbelief, doubt and skepticism. There has been much defaming of My name because of reckless rebellion and deception that has creeped in.  As I turn up the FIRE, there will be commensurate release of discernment, knowledge, wisdom and revelation that will strengthen you and help you to get through.  Angelic appearances will once again become common as just before Jesus came the first time.  I will startle many into the Kingdom by what I do in and through you.  You will even be startled by how I use you !  [feeling the laughter of God ]

I will give you strength and I will pour out the SPIRIT OF MIGHT with great POWER.
You will ROAR like LIONS over the prey. The lame will take the prey, for I am making the lame a GREAT ARMY. [ Micah 4:6+]  I will release the hidden ones from their desert places and stalls where I have bridled them. I have made you like a HORSE in battle beloveds. [Zech 10]  I am brandishing My SWORD and sharpening My arrows for the battle will be intense, but remember that I AM fighting with you, along side you, and I will NEVER LEAVE YOU !

ARISE and SHINE for MY GLORY is arising over you and will be seen upon you. MY FIRE will burn off all that cannot withstand the test, and break into pieces the rock of most stubborn resistance !  Every chain will break.  I will break through the
The gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.

[ Isaiah 45:2-3 'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. 3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. ]

For I LOVE YOU with an everlasting love.  Put away any thoughts of suspicion about My faithfulness to you.  Forget the days of hardship and REJOICE that I have prepared you for the days to come.  For there are no words to describe the evil that is coming. COME ASIDE WITH ME.  GAIN YOUR STRENGTH in WORSHIP & the WORD. PRAY to Me and I will give you all you need to go through what lies ahead. I will give you direction and guidance. Will I not warn you like I did Joseph when My Son was in danger ?  YOU CARRY MY SON INSIDE OF YOU.  WILL I NOT TREASURE MY BELOVEDS ENOUGH TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT DIRECTION I AM SENDING YOU IN ? Know that if I lead you to lay down your life, I will give you authority and power to do it!

Believe me when I say that many martyrs of old and in this age, have known before they endured the pain and suffering. Many didn’t feel it to the extent they would normally, because of My Spirit’s intervention.  Are you willing to go all the way with Me to the end beloveds ?  Have you not counted the cost ?  Am I to expect less of you than your Sudanese or Rwandan brothers and sisters ?  Am I to expect less of you than the many Russians and Chinese who have laid down their lives ?  Surely you understand what a witness is.  Know that no matter what route I lead you down, that I AM WITH YOU and that I LOVE YOU and will love you FOREVER !”

Psalms 72:6-8 NKJV He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth. 7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace,until the moon is no more. 8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.

Psalms 145:13 NKJV Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Daniel 4:3 NKJV How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,And His dominion is from generation to generation.

Daniel 7:14 NKJV Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.

Micah 4:8-10 NKJV  And you, O tower of the flock, The stronghold of the daughter of Zion, To you shall it come, even the former dominion shall come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem." 9 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in your midst? Has your counselor perished? For pangs have seized you like a woman in labor. 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in birth pangs.

Zechariah 9:10 NKJV   I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; The battle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations;
His dominion shall be 'from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.'

Ephesians 1:20-21 NKJV which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,  21 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.

Revelation 1:5-7 NKJV and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.  To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Daniel 11:38-39 NKJV But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.

1 Corinthians 15:23-26 NKJV  But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

1 Timothy 5:17-19 NKJV Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."  

Revelation 12:5-6 NKJV She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Revelation 19:15-16 NKJV Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Luke 9:1-3 NKJV Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Luke 10:18-20 NKJV  And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

John 16:13-15 NKJV However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.  14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.  15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. 

Titus 2:11-15 NKJV For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. 15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Revelation 13:1-8 NKJV   Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 17:13-14  These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."

Revelation 18:1-3 NKJV After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."
