When we look in the Gospels, we see that one of the things God is looking for is people who understand submission and authority. It is good for us to know when and where we have authority. Did you know that Jesus commended the one who had the greatest faith as the one who understood submission and authority? He looks for those who understand that He’s the boss, and that when He asks us to jump, our answer is, “how high?” He also is seeking those who are not “know it all’s”, but really seek His wisdom in every situation they come up against. They are teachable, and open to hearing specific direction from Him. Do you think it is possible to walk in dominion, and to take dominion, yet still be under submission? I think this story of the centurion in Matt 5 makes it clear that we can. In fact, when we do walk in submission and operate in the authority we have in Christ, we can see mighty things take place. Because the centurion’s servant was healed, we see that miracles and healings can take place from being people of faith and having great faith. Faith changes things. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. A healing was needed and then became manifest, because of knowing the power in the words of Jesus. We have his Words available to us. We can other tools as well. We can use His name, we have the power of the Holy spirit on the inside of us. We have the keys to the kingdom. God wants to manifest His anointing and power on the earth through us, as yielded vessels, under submission to God, and operate in the authority God has given us.
