“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Gen 1:28

Just when you thought you had an easy to use, sure fire business plan from the first half of Genesis 1:28, then came the “AND”. AND have dominion over the fish of the sea (your lower nature), the fowl of the air (your thought life) and lastly upon every living thing that moves upon the earth.

If you haven’t been following the blogs for the last two weeks, this won’t make as much sense to you, but you can get caught up easy enough by checking them out. I want to submit to you a powerful application of what it means to take dominion over every living thing that moves upon the earth. The fish are below, the fowls are above but everything else intersects with you on the plane you live on.

This speaks of everything that vies for your time and attention. Every distraction. Every good cause. Every friend. Every foe. Everything that you potentially interact with on a daily basis. And our job is to take dominion over their interaction with our life. If your schedule is too full, don’t blame them… look in the mirror. Take responsibility for your schedule, for your interaction with everything that comes your way. You cannot totally control what comes to you, but you do control how you react and interact with them.

Don’t be at their mercy. Don’t be at the mercy of their timetable, their schedule, their preference. Notice how Jesus didn’t run over to heal Lazarus when he was sick. It was urgent, but he delayed his departure by two days and showed up four days too late. Or so it seemed. Jesus worked only where He saw His Father working and only when He saw Him working. He took dominion over the activities of His day, despite what came at Him. We would do well to learn from Him.

Important Note: I spent 3 ½ years researching the rainforest as a business model. All of my latest findings are now captured in my newest book to be released next week called Rainforest Strategy. I am offering everyone on this list a FREE BONUS gift when they purchase either the book or the E-Book next week. Be watching your inbox for details. It ties in very much to this $700 billion Wall Street fiasco. You won’t want to miss it.

Note to those in Southwest Florida: David Johnson is hosting an intimate gathering of marketplace warriors who want to successfully market their business. It will be this Saturday, September 27th. I assure you, it will be well worth your time to attend. Click here for details…

I just got off the teleseminar with Dr. Myles Munroe and it was one of the most significant and amazing calls we have ever had the privilege of doing. I have already heard from some of you expressing the same sentiments and wanting to hear it again.

If you missed it and if you value any of my advice, I am urging you to set aside an hour in the next day or so and listen to Dr. Munroe share one nugget after another. It was like walking along a forest trail and every few steps picking up a solid gold nugget.

There’s no cost to listen so invest the time. You and your dreams are worth it! (We will leave this site up for a few days so you can get to it.)

Blessings,

Michael

Tomorrow I will be conducting a one-on-one teleseminar with Dr. Myles Munroe. We will be discussing kingdom principles for succeeding in business. I wanted to introduce you to him this week and have asked him to guest host on our blog for a few days. The teleseminar will start at 1PM US Eastern time on Thursday, August 28th. You’ll have the choice of participating by telephone OR via web-based streaming simulcast. However, we have a limited number of spots, so I urge you to reserve yours now!

Dr. Munroe was born in the Bahamas to a family of eleven children, and overcame unbelievable odds to emerge as a global leader, sharing the platform with Presidents, Prime Ministers, Monarchs, Governors, Corporate Leaders, Religious Leaders, Members of Congress, Senators, Law Enforcements Agencies, Judicial Leaders, Hollywood Stars and professional Athletes. He is respected internationally as a motivational speaker, business consultant, and a best-selling author of over 40 books. Now, here’s Dr. Munroe…

Missing Keys
Have you ever found some old keys lying around your house and couldn’t remember what they unlocked? Possessing a key you cannot identify or match to a particular lock is as bad as not having a key at all. What good are keys you can’t use? They are as useless as locks you can’t open.
This is exactly the problem with many believers today. We have a big bunch of “keys” called “Scriptures” that most of us don’t know how to use. We have the keys, but we don’t know which key unlocks which lock. It’s like having all of this information but not knowing how to use it, having all of this power available to us but not knowing how to apply it.
Knowledge of the Word of God is important, but insufficient by itself for effective living as a believer. This is because most believers lack a proper Kingdom mindset.
Life in the Kingdom is really about returning to the governing authority of God in the earth and learning how to live and function in that authority. Part of understanding the Kingdom is learning how to use the keys of the Kingdom.
Ask the Holy Spirit today to unlock whatever may be keeping you from stepping into His full destiny for your life.
