DOMINATING SIN
OLUBI JOHNSON
Romans 6:14 KJV
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.’
Most Christians believe that we cannot have total dominion over sin until we get to heaven, but this is contrary to the Bible.
It is crucial to understand that we are to dominate sin at two levels:
1. The nature and power of the sin-nature in our souls (will, mind and emotions), bodies and in the air (Eph. 2:2-3).
2. The acts or deeds of sin in our conduct.
To dominate the nature and power of sin on a daily basis, we need to clean out and dominate the sin nature by the blood (Heb. 13:20-21), the Word (1Jn. 2:5) and the Spirit (1Jn. 4:12-16), by praying with all kinds of prayer in the Spirit for about one hour each day (Matt. 26:40; Heb. 5:7).
To dominate the acts of sin we need to:
1. ‘Wash feet’ by the blood, the Word and the Spirit once every six hours (Mk. 13:35; 2Sam. 6:13).
2. Pray frequently in tongues at every opportunity during the day (Jude 1:20-21).
3. Pray in tongues during temptations (Matt. 26:41) as led by the Spirit, as we act on the Word (Gen. 24:27).
The power released by praying to dominate the nature and power of sin in the soul, body and air, can be likened (Rom. 1:20) to the power released by the engine of a car.
The power released by praying to ‘wash feet’ and to pray frequently in tongues can be likened to changing the gear and pressing the accelerator pedal to make the car go faster.
The power released by praying with your thoughts to act on the Word and to pray during temptations can be likened to the power used in turning the steering wheel to make the car go in the right direction.
Therefore, the short prayers every six hours and at every opportunity will only be effective, if there is a foundation of extended praying in the Spirit, with all types of prayer for at least one hour earlier in the day.
Hence, in this spiritual system of power transmission, each set triggers the next. As this is done diligently over time, by the mercy and grace of God, your obedience level will go up to 90%-100%, giving you the experience of dominion over sin.
