dominion

My son Justin loves weird animals! Some of his "pets"...I say this word loosely...have been, tarantulas, anoles, fish, turtles and Iguanas.
He had Two big Iguanas and from time to time they would have a jail break.He didn't always tell me when they were loose.one time I was lifting up some laundry on the basement floor and I uncovered one.Talk about shock and awe!!!
One day Justin told me (probably because of my previous reaction) that not one but both of those nasty (I mean) pets had escaped! This time I responded a little differently tho'. I was excited because I had just read in Gen. 2:26 "Then God said, "Let us make people in our own image, to be like ourselves.They will be masters (or have dominion) over all life- the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals and small animals".
I told Justin, Hey I know what to do!!! I just read about it so I told him that he had dominion over the beasts Chuck and Pigquana ....... (I mean, I told him to say "you Iguanas... In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to appear before me"........ Welll.... I just left him and totally forgot about them and "the situation"....until the next morning!
I woke up because I heard a strange sound... kind of like scratching. I sat up AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME (on my pillow to be exact) The Iguanas jumped up on my pillow, and our bed is high!!! The Iguanas appeared RIGHT BEFORE ME!!!
If any of you know me you can guess what my reaction was!! I woke everyone up.
I later asked Justin if he had commanded those things to appear before him and he said he forgot!!! IMAGINE THAT!!!
I am here to tell you....It's true what God says!
We have commanded other things to appear before us since then and God's word WORKS!!! TRY IT!
