Genesis 1:26,28 (Amplified) says, "God said, Let Us (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) make mankind in Our Image (after Our Likeness), and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the (tame) beasts, and over all the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth." Verse 28 says, "And God Blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, using all its vast resources in the service of God and man; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth."
This was God's Original Intent for His family (mankind). Mankind lost the Blessing and the dominion over the earth, becoming subject to death and satan, when Adam transgressed in the Garden. The Blessing was now a Curse upon man and upon the earth. This wasn't something the Father did, but was the result of Adam's actions. Genesis 3:17 (Amplified) tells us, "And to Adam [God] said, Because you have listened and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the Tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it, the ground is under a Curse because of you; in sorrow and toil shall you eat of the fruits of it all the days of your life."
The Curse came because of Adam and not because of the Father. God had given Adam complete authority and dominion over all the earth and everything that creeps upon it. In Genesis 3:18-19 (Amplified), God says, "Thorns and thistles shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field. In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken, for dust you are and to dust you shall return."
God didn't stop the Blessing, Adam did. Adam could have used his God given authority and dominion, to cast satan out of the Garden and protect his inheritance. When God gave his earthly creation to Adam and his wife, it was now Adam's domain and he had the responsibility to keep and dress the Garden, according to Genesis 2:15 (Amplified) which says, "And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it."
God gave man the job of tending, guarding and keeping the Garden. God gave Adam the ability to keep satan out of the Garden and to prevent satan from taking it from him. Christians sometimes think that everything that happens to us, "Is God's will and He must have allowed it or sent it to us." Jesus said in Matthew 18:18 (Amplified), "Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in Heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in Heaven."
God gave believers the ability to bind and loose, declare proper or improper, lawful or unlawful. We have the ability through our words and deeds. God has Spiritual Laws in Heaven, that we're to use to govern our lives and things of this earth. If believers would do like God directed Adam and use the authority and dominion God gave us over the earth and everything that creeps upon it, then we could and should declare many things unlawful and nonproductive in our lives.
Once God gave all authority over to Adam, God never interfered or took back the authority. He allowed Adam to have rule over his own life. Religion has taught us that God will do whatever He wants to and we can't do anything except watch and wait. This wasn't and isn't God's will or His Intention for His family. Jesus didn't tell the Leper, "It's God's will for you to have leprosy," Jesus used the authority given to man at the beginning and didn't allow it to stay on that man. Jesus knew that sickness and disease weren't lawful in Heaven, so He had dominion over it here on earth.
Jesus loosed a woman who was bound and couldn't stand straight in Luke 13:12 (KJV) and Matthew 18:18 (KJV). The Amplified Bible used the words, "Improper, or proper and lawful." The infirmity was already declared to be forbidden and unlawful in Heaven, so Jesus brought the Heavenly Laws of the Kingdom, down to earth and set the woman free.
The Spirit realm has Laws that govern and set things in place. Jesus has restored the ability to bind or loose, declare proper or unlawful on earth back to us, giving us the authority over the earth and everything on it again. These are Kingdom Laws and they always work, but we've misunderstood them. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 (Amplified), "But seek, aim at, and strive after first of all His Kingdom and His Righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides."
God's way of doing and being right, begin with His Righteousness, which is the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Romans 1:17 (Amplified) says, "For in the Gospel a Righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith, disclosed thought the way of faith, that arouses to more faith." God's way of doing and being right or righteous, is faith in the righteousness we've received in Christ Jesus. Until you accept this by faith, you're not sure of your righteousness or your own authority to bind or loose and you won't know God's will for you.
Jesus has restored us back to God's Original Intent and has placed the ability to declare and take authority back to us. If like Adam, we don't take that authority over the enemy, then we'll reap the same results. You might be saved, born-again, filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues, but still not understand the Laws that govern the Kingdom you've been born into. We keep waiting for God to do something, not understanding that through Jesus, He has already done everything that needed to be done and restored us back into God's Original Intent for His family. We're not waiting for our healing, but He's waiting for us to receive what Jesus has already done for us.
We tolerate and put up with things that aren't and never have been God's Intention, when He created man and gave him authority. As a Man, Jesus took back the authority satan conned Adam out of and restored it back to the born-again man and woman. We now have Jesus' Name, His Righteousness, His authority, His Word and His Promise. We're free from the bondage of sin, death, satan, sickness and over anything that has held us back. You're not God and you're not Jesus, but you are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus. You're a son or daughter, just like Jesus, because you were born of the Same Seed, Who is the incorruptible Word of God. You are family and family has God's way of doing and being right by Kingdom Law, here on earth.
