Embracing Dominion: Becoming Evidence of God's Power

Devotional

Day 1: God’s Presence and Power Are Evident Among His People

The living God is not distant or hidden; He is present and active, demonstrating His reality through miracles, deliverance, and transformation in the lives of those who trust Him. When the world asks, “Where is their God?” the answer is found in the undeniable evidence of His power at work—healing, restoring, and setting captives free. We are called to be a people who carry the proof of God’s presence, so that no one can question whether He is truly among us. [20:29]

Psalm 115:1-8 (ESV)
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

Reflection: Where in your life do you need to see God’s power made visible, and how can you invite Him to demonstrate His reality through you today?

Day 2: God Calls Ordinary People to Carry His Power

God’s answer to a hurting and questioning world is often found in the people He calls and empowers. Like Gideon, who doubted his own strength and questioned God’s presence, we may feel weak or unqualified. Yet God flips the script, declaring over us that He will be with us, and through His Spirit, we are equipped to bring deliverance, healing, and hope to our generation. God’s answer is not just a distant miracle—it’s you, filled with His Spirit and authority. [27:39]

Judges 6:11-16 (ESV)
Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.”

Reflection: What area of weakness or insecurity is God calling you to surrender so He can use you as His answer to someone else’s need?

Day 3: Jesus Is God With Us—Bringing Miracles and Transformation

Jesus came to earth as the ultimate demonstration of “God with us,” revealing a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Everywhere He went, He brought healing, raised the dead, and left lives transformed—evidence that the invisible God was in their midst. Miracles are not just stories of the past; they are the tracks of God’s presence today, and Jesus still desires to visit His people with compassion and power, turning mourning into joy and impossibility into testimony. [44:05]

Luke 7:11-16 (ESV)
Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!”

Reflection: Where do you need to invite Jesus to “visit” your life with His compassion and miracle-working power today?

Day 4: The Cross and Resurrection—Proof of God’s Power and Victory

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are the ultimate demonstrations that God is not only with us but for us, turning the greatest defeat into the greatest victory. At the moment of Jesus’ death, the veil was torn, the earth shook, and even the dead were raised—clear evidence that Jesus is the Son of God. No matter what the enemy has tried to steal or destroy, God has the power to turn every attack into a testimony of His glory and your good. [01:01:17]

Matthew 27:50-54 (ESV)
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Reflection: What situation in your life needs to be surrendered to the power of the cross, trusting God to turn it for your good and His glory?

Day 5: Faith That Produces Proof—Living as Evidence of God’s Kingdom

God’s desire is for His people to live as undeniable evidence of His kingdom—walking in authority, working miracles, and turning the world upside down. Like Paul and Barnabas, we are not gods, but we carry the living God within us, and through faith, we see the impossible become possible. Christianity is not a theory but a practice; as we step out in faith, God’s power is made visible, and the world will know that He is truly among us. [01:31:44]

Acts 14:8-15 (ESV)
Now at Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet. He was crippled from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and began walking. And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.”

Reflection: What step of faith can you take today to become living evidence of God’s kingdom—so that others see His reality through your life?

Sermon Summary

In these three days, we are stepping into a season of dominion, reclaiming everything the enemy has tried to steal from us. God is not simply starting a new chapter in our lives—He is burning the old book and writing a brand new one, free from the stains of the past. The world is asking, “Where is their God?” and even many believers are hungry for a demonstration of His reality and power. We are not called to live a powerless Christianity, but to walk in the authority and dominion Jesus has given us, so that our lives become undeniable evidence of God’s presence.

Throughout history, God’s people have asked, “Where are Your miracles?” like Gideon did when Israel was oppressed. God’s answer was not to explain Himself, but to empower Gideon to become the answer for his generation. In the same way, God is calling us to stop waiting for a move and instead become the move—carrying His power, healing, and freedom to a world desperate for proof that He is alive. The days of empty talk and powerless religion are over; God is raising up a people who will not settle for less than the fullness of His promises.

God has always desired to be with His people. In Jesus, God became flesh and dwelt among us, demonstrating a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Miracles are the tracks of the invisible God—evidence that He is in our midst. When Jesus touched the sick, they were healed; when He encountered the dead, they were raised. This is not just history, but our present reality. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us, and we are called to work miracles, not just pray for them.

Breakthrough is not a mystical event, but a decisive step into the dominion Christ has given us. It is time to reject excuses, religious platitudes, and powerless traditions. We are to be a people who, like the early church, turn the world upside down—not by our own strength, but by the undeniable evidence of God with us. The cross of Christ tore the veil, granting us access to God’s presence and power. Now, we are to live as supernatural people, carrying the fear of the Lord, the authority of His name, and the boldness to see nations changed. God is making us what we could never be on our own, and tonight marks the beginning of a new era of miracles, transformation, and victory.

Key Takeaways

1. God’s answer to a powerless generation is not more explanations, but empowered people. Like Gideon, we often ask, “Where are Your miracles?” God’s response is to put His Spirit upon us, making us the answer to the cries of our generation. We are called to stop waiting for a move of God and become the move, carrying His authority and power into every sphere of life. [27:39]
2. Miracles are not just for the past—they are the present evidence that God is with us. The supernatural is meant to be the normal Christian life. When we walk in faith and dominion, our lives become the proof that the invisible God is in our midst, silencing the question, “Where is their God?” [42:41]
3. Breakthrough is not a vague hope, but a decisive act of dominion. It happens when we refuse to be harassed by the enemy any longer and step into the authority Jesus has given us. Fasting and praying are important, but until we move in faith, we will not see the fullness of God’s promises. [40:05]
4. The cross of Christ is the ultimate demonstration that God is with us and for us. When Jesus died, the veil was torn, and the power of God was released to make us new. God specializes in taking what the enemy meant for evil and turning it for our good, erasing every trace of defeat and writing a new story of victory. [61:17]
5. God is raising up a generation that will not bow to powerless religion or cultural compromise. We are called to be a people of boldness, authority, and supernatural demonstration—turning the world upside down by the reality of Christ in us. The days of mere talk are over; now is the time for action, for miracles, and for a faith that produces undeniable results. [72:21]

Observation Questions

In Psalm 115, what reasons does the psalmist give for why the nations ask, “Where is their God?” What is the psalmist’s response?
When the angel appears to Gideon in Judges 6, what is Gideon’s main complaint or question for God? How does God respond to him?
In Luke 7, what happens when Jesus encounters the funeral procession? What is the reaction of the people after the miracle?
According to the sermon, what does the speaker say is God’s answer to a generation asking, “Where are Your miracles?” ([27:39])

Interpretation Questions

Why do you think God’s answer to Gideon’s question about miracles was to send Gideon himself, rather than to give an explanation? What does this say about how God works through people? ([27:39])
The sermon says, “Miracles are the tracks of the invisible God—evidence that He is in our midst.” How does this idea challenge or encourage your understanding of what the Christian life should look like? ([42:41])
The speaker says, “Breakthrough is not a mystical event, but a decisive step into the dominion Christ has given us.” What does it mean to “step into dominion” practically? ([40:05])
The cross is described as the ultimate demonstration that God is with us and for us. How does the tearing of the veil at Jesus’ death (Matthew 27:50-51, referenced in the sermon) change our access to God’s presence and power? ([01:01:17])

Application Questions

The sermon challenges us to stop waiting for a move of God and instead “become the move.” What is one area of your life where you have been waiting for God to act, but now sense He may be calling you to take action? ([27:39])
The world and even some believers are asking, “Where is their God?” In what ways does your life currently demonstrate (or not demonstrate) the reality and power of God? What would it look like for your life to be “undeniable evidence” of God’s presence? ([20:29])
The speaker says, “Breakthrough happens when we refuse to be harassed by the enemy any longer and step into the authority Jesus has given us.” Is there an area where you have been making excuses or tolerating defeat? What is one practical step you can take this week to walk in Christ’s authority in that area? ([40:05])
The sermon emphasizes that miracles are not just for the past, but are meant to be the normal Christian life. Have you ever witnessed or experienced a miracle or clear answer to prayer? How did it affect your faith? If not, how do you respond to this idea? ([42:41])
The cross tore the veil and gave us access to God’s presence and power. Are there any “veils” (barriers, doubts, traditions) you still allow to keep you from experiencing God’s power? What would it look like to live as if the veil is truly gone? ([01:01:17])
The speaker says, “God is making us what we could never be on our own.” What is one area where you feel weak or inadequate, and how can you invite God to transform you in that area? ([01:41:27])
The sermon calls for boldness and supernatural demonstration, not just talk. What is one bold step of faith you could take this month to bring God’s reality into your school, workplace, or community? ([01:12:21])

Sermon Clips

We are going to take back ground that the devil has illegally seized in a generation and we're not asking for permission. We are going to find every captive, wherever they may be and say the time of your release is right now. We're going to find every sick body, every person the devil has harassed and abused and maligned. And we're going to tell them we serve a God who heals, restores and sets free.

When people prayed in the Bible, things actually happened. When people prophesied in the Bible, things changed. When Jesus laid his hands on the sick, they were no longer sick. When are we going to become disgusted with ineffective ministry?

I've heard it said that if you're expecting nothing, you will receive it every single time. And so you have to believe that these are going to be three days of heaven upon the earth, where there will be nothing that is impossible for you, where you're going to step into what God has called you to be, who he's called you to be, and you're going to become a person that will, after this service, be unstoppable. [00:17:26]

A lot of people often say, well, you know, God, he's the author of my story. He's starting a new chapter in the book of life. God doesn't even start new chapters. You know what God does with your life? He takes the old book and burns it in the fire of his spirit and starts a brand new book where there never was a yesterday, never was a past, never was a problem before. [00:18:15]

I'm telling you, I don't know what you thought you signed up for, but I'm not your typical speaker that comes up with skinny jeans and a stool. We have come to declare the word of God that sets every captive free. [00:19:33]

When God wants to deal with a problem in a generation, he finds a man or he finds a woman. But listen to what Gideon says... God, if you're with me, how come all this has happened in my life? I don't understand. If you're with me, why has all this happened? And where are your miracles? Which our fathers told us about, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hand of the Midianites. [00:25:09]

What the Lord did is he flipped the script back on Gideon. He said, stop asking me questions. Stop saying, why has this happened? Stop saying, where are my miracles? Respond to the call that I'm releasing to you to be somebody that can carry that power to your generation. [00:27:48]

We're talking about a God who can heal, yet why are there so many sick bodies sitting in the pews of our churches? We're talking about a God who can set anybody free, yet why are people coming in church bound and going home still bound? It ought not be. Something's up. [00:28:43]

No other system of belief—study them all, I have—Buddhism, Islam, it's all about you, some inferior human being trying to appease some angry deity you'll never know. Only the God of the Bible said I am with them and yes soon I will be in them. [00:36:42]

Breakthrough is when somebody grabs a hold of the dominion that was given to us by Jesus Christ and says I'm tired of being harassed by the devil in this area for one more moment. And I choose by the authority Jesus gave me to step from the place I am now into the place God said I could be. [00:40:05]

A miracle, say a miracle, is evidence that the invisible God is in our midst. A miracle is evidence that the invisible God is in our midst. It's like tracks in the snow. If you live out in the woods, if you live in this area, you do. You see the tracks of a deer or whatever it would be. You don't see the deer, but you knew it was there. [00:42:44]

We are living in the days of divine visitation. Do you hear what I'm telling you? Do you hear what I'm telling you? We are living in a time where God says I will visit you and I will make things different until there's no evidence that slimy serpent called the devil ever touched your life. [00:48:35]

When you carry real power, when you carry a real authority, you don't have to create excuses for why God's not doing what he said he would do. God said I'm sending you to Midian. He told Moses stop whining to me, lift up your hand, lift up your rod and command that sea to split. God is looking for a people that are full of an authority that will not bow down to a defeated devil who has no ability to stand in our way. [00:52:31]

After tonight, you will need no man to be your help. You know what I'm telling you, you won't need to say there's nobody to put me in the water when the angel stirs it up. You'll say I've encountered the man who created water, the one who can tell a wind, the one who can tell waves, you better shut your mouth and cease your operation. I'm talking about an authority, I'm talking about a dominion to take back a nation. [01:01:39]

Let me just tell you where we're going as a nation and as a generation—we're coming back to a day in God where young people—see that's me—are going to be found in schools preaching the word of God. They won't be able to shut you down, hear what I'm telling you, going to be found in squares and in parks and in arenas and in YMCA buildings doing the work of the almighty God. [01:03:27]

We're not asking for permission. I just secured a venue, we're going to be doing a meeting next to, how far is it from the school, 10, 15 minutes from the largest public university in the state of New Jersey. You want to know why? I'm going to take my generation back by force. [01:04:19]

Why should the gentiles say where is their god? Why should you ever say again where is my god? I'm telling you tonight we are erasing that from our lives and from our vocabulary. I don't know what you've experienced up till today, I apologize if life has been difficult, but I've come to tell you that there is a liberating Jesus who can take everything that was difficult, everything that was dark, everything that was wicked, everything that looked like a defeat and cause it to be turned for your good and for his glory. [01:13:09]

Only God has the ability to take an attack from hell and make it look like it was the greatest victory the world's ever seen. Only God has that ability. Only God has that ability. God doesn't send the problems nor does God induce the issues but he is a master at taking the work of the adversary and turning it into a positive in your life. [01:13:41]

Jesus said you're going to be a city set on a hill, a light that can never be put out, that can never be shaken, that can never be, uh, how do I want to say it, drowned out. The Bible says Paul speaking the church at Corinth, he said because of the supernatural operation of the gifts of the spirit among you people will come into your churches and say surely God is with these people. [01:22:07]

The Bible says they that know their God shall be mighty and do great exploits. Say exploits. Say I'm doing something. Say I'm working miracles. Say I'm working miracles. Say I'm working miracles. You're gonna work miracles after tonight. Do you believe this? Do you believe what I'm telling you? You don't pray for miracles, you work them. [01:24:27]

Christianity is not a theory, it is a practice. Make sense to you? The Bible says concerning the apostles they were untrained and unlearned men yet they knew they had been with Jesus. Now I'm not advocating you know being not educated, if you can tell I appreciate doctrine and study, I think the Pentecostal church for far too long has allowed itself to be stupid. Not anymore, not in our generation, we're gonna know the Bible, we're gonna know doctrine, we're gonna be able to back up what we preach and believe. [01:26:32]

There's a power in God, say there's a power in God, that can do anything. There's a power in God if only you'll preach him, for how can they believe on him who they've never heard? That's why they're saying where is your God, because we presented to them some Americanized watered down gospel void of power because we haven't seen results. [01:27:59]

God is making you what you could never be on your own tonight. I tell you that by the word of the Lord. Do you believe this? Yes. God is making you what you can never be on your own and tonight when we pray I'm asking God for a release of miracles, I'm asking God to heal your body. [01:44:17]
