After destroying Satan on earth, Jesus ascended back to Heaven where He presently sits at the right hand of God the Father in a seat of Absolute Authority. He rules as Lord, having total dominion over every spirit operating in the earth realm. (Acts 2:36) I Peter 3:22 declares, “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” (Colossians 2:10)
Evil spirits have a three-pronged relationship to Christ. First, they are afraid of Him and tremble at the thought of Him. James 2:19 declares, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” They tremble because Christ defeated Satan through death. Second, they are all subject to Him and His commands. There are no spirits existing on earth who are not under His control: they obey Him without hesitation. Third, none of them can touch Him because He sits far above them. (Ephesians 1:20-23)
Christ is also the Landlord of the earth. He owns it and everyone dwelling in it. (Psalm 50:10-12) Psalm 24:1 declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Peoples’ hearts are in His Hands. He takes control of their hearts and minds and, at His Will, makes them do whatever He pleases; and they cannot resist Him. (Proverbs 21:1)
We must visualize the Holy Spirit the same way. He is the third Person of the God-head. (I John 5:7) He is co-equal with Christ: all the things that Christ possesses, He possesses. Since Christ is Lord, He is the Spirit of the Lord, the ruling Spirit. (II Corinthians 3:17) He operates in dominion. He raised Jesus from the dead; therefore, His Power is greater than death and everything that can cause death and despair. (Romans 8:11) Every demonic spirit on earth is afraid of Him and is subject to Him. They all do what He commands. No evil spirit can touch the Holy Spirit because He is higher in “thinking” than they. There is no sin, disease, fear, or lack in Him.
The Holy Spirit was sent to earth to live inside our hearts and give us what He possesses. No spirit on earth is greater than He. (I John 4:4) He is the Spirit of Truth. (St. John 16:13) Therefore, Truth has dominion over Satan. He transfers dominion truth to our spirit to know by teaching. Our spirit is to live and walk in the Spirit, or in truth. III John 3 declares, “For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.” We walk in truth by thinking, speaking and acting according to the truths that we learned from Him. When we do, we walk in dominion over Satan and he cannot touch us. God Bless.
