Phillip 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working (ENERGY) whereby he is able ( HE HAS THE CAPACITY) even to subdue ( SUBORDINATE IN MILITARY ORDER) all things unto himself.
According to the energy by which He is capable to subordinate in a military fashion every type of thing unto Himself.
Christ subdues in a military fashion, junks, and casts out
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power (OUTWARD DOMINION) of his might.( INNER STRENGTH)
Be empowered in the Lord and in the display of outward dominion as a measure of His inner inherent or residing strength.
Popeye The Sailor Man
Christ ability to subdue is an absolute necessity for us, since it is the work of Christ to set us free.
Subduing however, can also have a very negative connotation. Dictators, such as Hitler, Castro, and others, concentrated their whole lives on subduing of people.
Christ, likewise, focuses much of His work in subduing, but only of things that are evil and harmful to humanity.
In the case of evil dictators, the subduing of peoples is called dominating, or exercising dominion over them. This evil exercise of dominion accomplishes a power as it is carried out, called the power of dominion or domination, in proportion to the strength of the dictator.
1 Cor 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down ( TO CAUSE SOMETHING TO BECOME NON OPERATIONAL AND NON WORKING SO THAT IT MUST BE JUNKED!!) all rule(ARCHE) and all authority (EXOUSIAN) and power (DUNAMIN)
Jesus will give the kingdom to God and the Father only when He shall have rendered totally ineffective (as an old car with an old engine, that finally breaks down and ceases to function, and must be junked) Every type of principality and roots sources of all evils, all authorities or jurisdictions which are not from God, and every type of inherent power that gives life, function, glory, and honor to evey type of evil.
Then comes the fulfillment, the achievement, and the maturity when He gives over the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He has made useless, incapable of action, ineffective, condemned to inactivity, and junked all types of arches, exousian and dunamin.
Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory( HIS RICHES MANIFESTED IN VISIBILITY) ,to be strengthened (STRENGTHENED WITH DUNAMIS POWER WHICH IS MANIFESTED BY KRATOS OR SUBJUGATING AND DOMINATING STRENGTH.) withmight (AS SEEN IN HIS DUNAMIS POWER) by his Spirit in (THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, AS THIS POWER IS FUNNELED INTO) the inner man;
In order that He may give you according to the riches of His glory, dunamis power in its facet of dominion by His Spirit to be funneled into our inner man
Christ is manifested in the riches of glory defined by the riches of kratos
Principalities, Powers, Authorities
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power ( DUNAMIS) to us-ward (FUNNELED INTO) who believe ( CONTINUALLY BELIEVING) , according to theworking( ENERGY PUT OUT) of his mighty ( ISCHUN) power,(KRATOS)
What is the throwing beyond (homerun) greatness of His dunamis power funneled into us the ones believing according to the energy that is put out as God’s inner spiritual strength is translated into His external dominion.
20 Which he wrought (ENERGIZED) in Christ, when he raised him from the dead (CORPSE), and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Which He energized (PAST TENSE) in Christ when He raised Him out of a corpse…..
Working in verse nineteen, and wrought in verse twenty are exactly the same root word; ENERGY; Working, is the noun, energy. Wrought is the verb to energize.
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power ( DUNAMIS) to us-ward (FUNNELED INTO) who believe ( CONTINUALLY BELIEVING) , according to theworking( ENERGY PUT OUT) of his mighty ( INNER SPIRITUAL STRENGTH) power,(EXTERNAL DOMINION)
What is the throwing beyond (homerun) greatness of His dunamis power funneled into us the ones believing according to the energy that is put out as God’s inner spiritual strength is translated into His external dominion.
Dunamis power is the inherent power within every created being, living, and non-living. God has His own inherent dunamis power.
This dunamis power of God now deposited in us allows for His glory to be revealed in the saints as He puts down and renders useless all that is not of him.
20 Which he wrought (ENERGIZED) in Christ, when he raised him from the dead (CORPSE), and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
The definition of God’s DUNAMIS POWER was the energy that was “put out” (in the historical event 2000 years ago), as Christ was raised up from a corpse and made to sit far above in rank, power, and physical distance over all principalities, powers, and might, dominions, and all names which are named both in heaven and upon the earth.
This dunamis power was once and for all energized INTO CHRIST. Because Christ lives in us, so does this DUNAMIS POWER.
However the living reality of this dunamis power, as it is funneled or manifested into us, comes in proportion to our faith.
Let us look now atthe properties of the dunamis power that we have resident within us and available to us when we walk in childlike obedience and faith
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality ( ARCHE:BEGINNING), and power(AUTHORITY), and might, (DUNAMIS POWER) and dominion( LORDSHIP OR BONDAGE), and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Far above in rank, power, and physical distance
Every type of principality – Or the beginning of every created thing
We know a principality to be an authoritative demonic being. However, in the NT, the word principality is also used for a physical beginning, the creation of something, and the root source of something. The dunamis power of God in Christ, and available to us, is far above in rank and power, above every root problem such as generational sins, curses, judgments, and the root causes and beginnings in diseases
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning (ARCHE)and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning (ARCHE) and the end, the first and the last.
Authority Power of choice; liberty to do as one pleases; jurisdiction such as a state police has; the power of rule and government
Authority is the power of choice; or the liberty to do as one pleases, such as the jurisdiction enjoyed by a state policeman over every road and highway within the state wherein they work.
Cancer, for example has its own authority, in that it can spread at will throughout the human body. However the authority found in Christ’s dunamis power has an authority far above in rank and power over that of cancer. By our words, as they are tempered or alloyed 50/50 with faith, the kingly sway, the power of choice, or the liberty of action to command the cancer where we please, is available to us.
Dunamis power The inherent power in every created thing that defines it and gives to it its life.
As we spoke earlier on, dunamis power is the inherent power exclusive, to every created thing. Water, has an inherent power of its own, which gives to it its life, and defines it as water, exclusive of any another object. Cancer has another type of dunamis power. God has His own dunamis power. The dunamis or inherent power of Christ resident in us is far in rank and power above the inherent power of any other created object. Hallelujah! When we minister, we know that Christ’s inherent power will subordinate, subjugate and destroy the inherent power sustaining the evil that we are ministering against.
The inherent or dunamis power of something gives to it life, glory, and honor. Cancer, though evil in nature, has its own evil glory and honor.
Lordship- Someone or something which can bring into bondage.
And every name that identifies something for what it is exclusive of anything else.
A miracle is an OPERATION of DUNAMIS POWER. The OPERATION is what makes the work fully operational and effective in the physical world. The DUNAMIS POWER, in this case being God’s, is FAR ABOVE in rank and distance above all root beginnings, bondages, jurisdiction, inherent power, and every name that is named, of anything else in which it is ministered into.
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
All these Christ subordinated and subjected under His feet. When God gave Christ be to be head over all of these things to the church; this same power is now available to us.
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Because in Him were all types of things were created, the discernible and the indiscernible, there being thrones (ones reigning), kuriotes(exercising control and bringing into bondage) arches and exousisas; all things work through Him and Into Him ( obedience and bringing Him further glory)
