Are You Dominating?

In the Old Testament, God's manifested presence and absolute splendour lived in and on the Arc of the Covenant. The Arc of the Covenant was a large gold-covered wooden box that God had instructed Moses to build. (Known from Indiana Jones I, if not from the Bible;). The Arc follwed the people of Israel when they wandered in the desert, on their way to the promised land, it follwed them into battles against mighty enemies, it was placed in the inner room in the tabernacle, and then later in the same place in the temple.

The intersting thing about the Arc was that because it was the carrier of the glory and presence of God; it dominated every place it came to. When the Arc was in a room it dominated that room! Everyone was submitted to the presence of God. When it was carried out into a battle; it dominated the battle throigh the power of God. When it was not cared for in a proper way, people fell down dead by its foot, it was holy and required holiness.

The Good News are... 

We are not living according to the rules and regulations of the Old Testament anymore, but something BETTER has come through Jesus (Hebr 8:6). We have been set free and partake of everything that God has! 


The Arc does not exist anymore; despite what Indiana Jones says in his first movie! I am aware that there are Christians and Jewish archeologists that spend their entire lives searching for the Arc; but I am personally convinced that they will never find it. And even if they would, it would only bring a historical and archeological worth; not a dimension of God's presence...

Why? 

Well, now the Bible says that "your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you" (1 Cor 6:19).
The word temple is the Greek word naos; and means the inner room at the temple in Jerusalem; the room where the Arc is!

YOU and I are carriers of the manifested Presence and Absolute Splendour of God today! You ARE the Arc in the Old Testament! 
The Arc was built of wood, covered by gold and full of God's presence and splendour!
You are a human, but covered by the righteousness of Jesus and full of His Holy Spirit! 

That means that you are holy and that you should DOMINATE where you go forth! Not in a proud or rude way, but with peace and security, knowing that where you go, the righteousness and glory of God will go forth and that the authority of Jesus is in you! You have NOTHING to be ashamed of! There is NO REASON to be quiet! You need to be more convinced of what you carry than the President of the United States is of his task in this world! You will go forth with a different kind of authority and power, deeply rooted in love. 

Lift your eyes and Own your school, your workplace, your city and the room where you are! Make room for God's love, power, presence and authority and let it freely flow through you! Then... people will meet God and become changed by Him... 
Start dominating!
