Dominion
I’m at home preparing to teach next week’s 3BI class. The Lord strongly made me to know that this class had to be on The Book of Ephesians. Subtitles are: The Authority of the Believer and The Story of the Glory.
Almost 100 students will sit in the classroom. I will be at my old oak desk. Sometime in the near future this essential study will become a 3BI online course.
Dominion
In 1981 I edited a book for Dr. Lester Sumrall entitled then You Hold the Reins.
I’d misplaced my copy and wanted to refer to the original edition for the upcoming class. I ordered it online and I had to pay $74.00. Today I was reading it and several things impacted me. Dr. Sumrall indeed knew how to take his dominion, his authority. The following quote I posted on Twitter:
“There never was a Goliath capable of standing before any of God’s David’s.
The devil cannot create an image of strength which God’s people cannot destroy.”
The Lord told Kenneth E. Hagin that whatever happened in America happened because the church allowed it to happen. In that light consider the following from Dr. Sumrall:
“The most powerful living organism on the earth today is the Church—the very Body of Christ.”
Dr. Sumrall told the following story to illustrate that without knowledge of the Dominion and Authority, the believer received at the instant of his new birth, he cannot possess dominion over the many conflicts of life. (Hosea 4:6.)
“Suppose someone kidnaps a king’s only son, the crown prince of the realm. Later, the child is abandoned. A beggar finds the boy, and having no idea of his identity, out of compassion adopts him. Now the child of the king eats beggar’s refuse, clothes himself in filthy rags, and begs from house to house
“But suppose further, that the king knows the young prince by a birthmark which establishes his identity beyond question. The royal father never gives up in his search for the prince. One day the king hears that a child resembling his son lives in a distant city with a beggar. Arriving at the beggar’s hovel, the king examines the child and finds him to be his son.
“A tremendous change suddenly takes place. The crown prince is washed and groomed. He is given a robe, a ring, and a place of authority …
“My point is that the crown prince, even though he was the son of the king, while living with the beggar was no different from the beggar. He did not know his position of dominion.
“Many Christians today are like that. They belong to Christ, they are sons of God, yet the devil keeps them in ignorance so they will not realize their divine right of dominion. For once they understand the basis of their dominion in Christ, they live a new life attendant with power and victories.
“It is imperative that you know—and that you know that you know your rights as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.
For YOU are entitled to dominion.
Shalom, Shalom,

Great illustration for how to important it is to know our authority
My husband and I were blessed to attend a 12:00 service in the prayer chapel, May5th,
with so many of your believing family. It was a glorious, glorious day. Thank you for I experienced a glimpse of heaven with you. My hope and strong desire is to spend every Wednesday and more praying and believing with you until we are raptured. May our wonderful LORD bless and strengthen you, amen
Awesome blog Sister Billye!!
I whole heartedly agree!
We must stand as His Body for we are attached to the Head!!
We have Dominion and we take our Authority in Him because of the Blood!

Dear sister billye
Thank you for your teaching on authority. Every morning I take mine over where I live. The word that max gave Wednesday about the firebrand was from Amos 4:11. God bless you.
Kenneth Leonard
So true! Thank you Sister Billye.
I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit teaching me along this line. As Brother Hagin used to say. I thank you for teaching this to the Body of Christ. Praise the Lord for apostle Paul’s prayer for the church in the Book of Ephesians 1&3.
Shalom,
Anna K. Richmond, Virginia
I love the way you teach Billye! There is no one I have heard that is as detailed and down to earth as you, yet full of the Holy Spirit and Love. Thank you for listening to the Lord and allowing all of us to learn from you.
Thank you Miss Billye. I enjoyed your blog and it was right on time. I look forward to more.
Thank You Sister for sharing and reminding me of my authority and position of dominion.
I love these blogs and all you prophetic Witness sessions. I watch them over and over! I especially love the ones about our authority.
Thanks Billye
What a great illustration.
God bless you for all you teach us.
Thank you so much for emailing me these good reports.
Dominion is a spiritual term and meaning we must activate. My prayer is for the church to recognize our authority in Christ and walk it out daily! Your teachings always remind us of this faith fact. Blessings to you!!
Thank you sister Billye. You have taught me through the word to take my authority every day over my family and my city. I am a father to two small daughters, and I didn’t understand it the first time I heard you teach it with sister Gloria on the BVOV many years ago . Now that I am a father , I understand the importance more than ever of the Authority of the Believer. Thank you for your obedience, our Fathers anointing is growing on you and your ministry. The minister from Houston TX who gave you a word on Wednesday’s prayer meeting was right on ! I am excited to see how God will continue to use you and your ministry to grow his kingdom here on earth. Blessings to you In the Name Above Every Name ——the name of Jesus !
Hi I studied under Dr. Sumrall. I understand in fact his teaching helped me than and now. Long story. My first husband was demon possessed. I had been raised Baptist. Baptist taught about demons just mostly they existed. I had been saved at the age of eight. I almost lost my life several times for standing but God got me thru it, other side of the family was Methodist. I have been thinking about writhing a book about this, maybe it is time.
Thank you ,praise God for all he does,
Thank you so much for the spark and flames that come from this ministry. Our Father is a consuming fire and we are supposed to do the things we see Him do and say the things we hear Him say. Sister Billye, I truly believe that we are supposed to guard our words optimally and believe we receive what we say when we say it. Our speaking was not just to talk.
Now the time in seed time and harvest is being altered when we speak
And the conception of an idea in thought is to be strategic, powerful and complete.
We are supposed to say something and it is supposed to happen exactly the way we say!
When we’re born again, we must be transformed by the Word of God every single day!
We learn how to speak Heaven’s Language and know that we minister Grace to those that hear.
For it is by Grace we are saved through faith, not of ourselves, it’s a gift from Father dear.
As Children of God and cocreators with the Father, What, are we Expecting?
Have we been faithful to learn what we are to yield to and what to keep resisting?
Are we expecting to see failure, and the tragedies of darkness prevail?
And to steal our ability to maneuver in life and navigate our sail!
When we speak, do we believe we receive what we say?
Isn’t that what we are being trained for every single day!
As we ponder these things over and over again in our head,
Let’s examine our words, could they be causing our fear and dread?
Our EVERY word spoken out loud will have ramifications.
The Original purpose for words is active accomplishment not messy communications!
We must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
If we are careless about our words, we will reap the danger.
Jesus came that we might have and enjoy life, in abundance to the full till it overflows.
The end of the age, the plowman overtakes the reaper and the treader, him that sows.
So, Let’s THINK, before we SPEAK, we won’t let our emotions sail our ship or drive our car.
Take the wheel, set the atmosphere, our verbal ministry through Jesus, is right where we are.
Glory to God!

Always love your blogs.
So timely. I am facilitator of a Small Group and we are discussing the book “Authority of the Believer by John A MacMillan. I can absolutely use this analogy in the group to give them even more understanding and a visual that they can see how it applies. Thank you Dr. Billye

Dear Sister Billye. I hope that you are with us forever. I thank you for your obedience to God to continue putting out your teachings. I appreciate receiving your blogs. Such a wealth of information laid out for even my simple mind to pick through and chew on and pray over. I have to tell you that a couple years ago I purchased the Autumn Assembly 2019 CD package. I listen to these CD’s over and over and over again. I am surprised that they have not worn out. It is the goodness of God! I am currently saving my pennies for the Israel virtual tour class. Thank you for never getting tired of sharing the truth of God and preparing these opportunities for those of us who would otherwise be left out. May the Lord continue to raise you up on eagles wings and strengthen you and bless you richly.
Dear Sister Billye
I learned many years ago to stand on the Word when our son was battling leukemia, I clung to the Word like a bulldog and refused to allow anything negative come out of my mouth, you taught me about The Blood if Yeshua and my son is a survivor and living a good life 23 years later and counting! Thank you for your teaching????
Blessed, blessed by this blog. thank you for always writing and sharing what the Lord says to you.
Thanks for your encouragement. We need to be reminded of our Dominion. Praise God the victory is God’s children and I’m grateful to be one!
Ms Billye,
Please tell us, most of us would have given you our copies. At least I would!! Silly to pay that on eBay!! I’ve looked up Bro Osteen’s books as well. It’s crazy!!
Thanks Billye. I see us as Christians having dominion over the dominion .
I learned to take charge/ control/ dominion over all territories I walked in. We can forget that sometimes .
Right now we are taking dominion over our second son who has contracted cancer.
He’s not ready to pray or see us. So we have to stand our ground IJN against the devil and the world trying to condemn him to death through words.
I cheer on all Christians to know what incredible power and authority we have been given .
Top of the morning Dr billye and Shelli
Thankyou for all you teach us
We have just got the Israel virtual tour and it’s brilliant
The guide Guy was on our kcm bus excellent
Hello and God bless, I have a personal story to share. Once a race horse took off with me on his back. He jumped a fence and we were now one freeway. He crossed the freeway down across the median and across to the other side dodging cars. I held on to those reins like they were my best friend. Once across we headed tword a bigger highway. Finally I dropped the left rein and the horse stepped on it and immediately we came to a halt. It taught me to give Jesus the rein and he will guide me to a better end.
Thank you for teaching the truth.
Praise God! I have been listening to some of your old sermons on YouTube on my headphones at work. I am left alone to work for much of my day, so I can listen with no fear of reprisal. I don’t always choose your videos by searching for specific titles; a lot of the time they are randomly selected by the Autoplay feature. EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE I listened to the past three weeks has been on this very topic of taking dominion! It is safe for me to say that it is a message that God is working in my spirit repeatedly and WITH URGENCY! Thank you for your unfailing determination in preaching this message.
Love your ministry!❤️
Thank you so much for making the Word of God available to all the earth and that includes me❣️ I really enjoy praying with the prayers on Wednesday. I hope some day either here or there to meet you and thank you face to face for your great witness to me.
I was always taught and believed that we have authority and dominion over powers and principalities in Jesus name. And that we have favor with God and with man. What does authority and dominion over persons look like?
I’m asking as a Christian. 🙏🏼
We have authority over the devil and his demons but not over people and their wills. We are to pray for them. Blessings Jan
Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God.
