You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you...
Job 22:28 NKJV
If we are created in God's image, then we are beset with royal propensities. Like children of royalty, we possess the inclination of Kings, but we still need to be trained in the ways of royalty.
Our Parents heard Him say, "(You are made for this.) Have DOMINION over the whole Earth." (See Genesis 1:28) So all of the children have DOMINION in their DNA.
We do.
Today I watched on television, a pro golfer driving a ball toward the green. A strong wind was blowing to the left and I read his lips, "Go right! Go right!" He jabbed the air with his hand as if the ball looking back at him should obey him.
I doubt that he ever learned from a coach to talk to the flying ball, or to affect the driving wind with his speech. That wasn't coming from his intellect, but rather from his instinct.
It never occurred to any of the disciples to stand up in the boat and tell the storm to quit. None of their experience or training as fishermen made them ready to do that. But the Master stood up in the stern (I imagine he pointed his finger or gestured with his hands--or not) and spoke, "'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm" (Mark 4:39).
If that is not amazing enough, He then turned to his disciples and rebuked them for their lack of faith!
They had listened to the voice of intellect, and not their DNA.
"They said to one another, 'Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?'"
But Jesus was thinking, "How long will it take these bozos to catch on? We have a commission from heaven to change the world, and they were going to let a little storm shut them down!"
The king doesn't make himself a sandwich; he tells someone else to make him a sandwich. A king doesn't fight the war, he gives the order, and thousands armor-up for battle.
I'm not talking about ordering people, or bossing God. I don't do that.
I'm talking about commanding the devil. Ordering mountains out of the way. Speaking peace to your chaos.
If the mountain doesn't move right away, don't give up. You are a baby king. You are a llittle queen. Practicing.
