Jesus teaches us how to take dominion.
I am sometimes perplexed at our ignorance over the words of Jesus.
Is He not our Teacher and does He not, as our Teacher live right inside us, reminding us of all He taught and said when He walked this earth, even showing us things to come?
Do you hear His Voice?
Yet, we bask in our man-made doctrine and religious Babylonian unbelief, mixing up Truth and law.
Let's look at what Jesus says about taking dominion soon after He had cursed the fig tree. [I will be expounding straight from the original Greek in brackets (Strongs)]
We'll specifically look at the words Jesus uses for say, forgive and mountain.
Mountain?
Mountain as the very object that should be addressed and in what manner.

Every word from the Word is important
Jesus says in Mark 11:23-25 verily I say [legō - affirm, teach, advise] unto you, That whosoever shall say [epō - A primary verb (used only in the definite past tense denoting to speak or say (by word or writting): - answer, bid, bring word, call, command, grant, say (on), speak, tell] unto this mountain [oros - a mountain (anything lifting itself above the plain)], be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith [epō - the definite past tense again to speak or say (by word or writting): - answer, bid, bring word, call, command, grant, say (on), speak, tell].
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive [aphiēmi - an intensive form of the Greek word εἶμι or eimi (to go), to send away, send forth, disregard, command to leave, order to go to another place], if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive [aphiēmi] you your trespasses.
And what are these trespasses?
Trespasses is the Greek word paraptōma which means anything that rises and deviates from the truth, any sin or sickness or situation or offence that defies who you are in the Truth (Christ).
Send away your paraptōma!
Remember this post on how to pray?
As if this is not enough, the above teaching by Jesus is repeated in the Gospel of Matthew (Mat 17:20 & 21:22) where the exact same words are used for say, forgive and mountain.
Can you hear His Voice?
Makes you want to read and read again and just get out there looking for that mountain ...
