Dominion: Reclaim Your Identity
()
About this ebook
It's time to reclaim your authority.
For years, we set back, prayed for the rapture or death, whichever comes first, to escape from our world we were meant to occupy.
We have watched sin become legalized. The ground is lost in the kingdom of God simply because Christians have no idea how much authority they have.

Dominion - Bryan Scott Davis
Acknowledgments
According to many, this book shouldn’t exist. Thanks be to God and my mother for always pushing me to never give up.
I would like to thank my wife for her patience during this work.
I also would like to thank Pastors Justin Drawdy and Jose Revira for encouraging me, not just through this project but also through life in general.
I would like to thank the Assembly of God for always having my back and being an amazing denomination.
I would like to thank Pastor Joey Kelly, my Presbyter, and Pastor Nick Jones, my District Pastor, for their friendship.
I would like to acknowledge that the truths in this book are truths that I have learned from apostle Ron Carpenter of Redemption Church in San Jose, California. Through his teachings and writings, I have feasted on many truths that led to this book happening.
I want to also thank Pastor Rod Parsley for texting me and checking on me, and sending all kinds of resources to our ministry.
To my church family at Calhoun Assembly of God in Calhoun, GA—I love you all, and thank you for letting me be your pastor.
Last and not least, I am thankful to my Father, who is in Heaven, for guiding me through this process. All glory and praise be to Him forever and ever.
May you all be blessed as you read this book.
—Pastor Bryan Davis
Foreword
I can still hear the wind chimes ringing as we stood on our Granny’s old Cyprus-built porch. It was our platform for ministry as we would sing and preach about Jesus at a young age. Of course, there was no audience then, but as cousins who had a radical encounter with Jesus, we could not get enough.
Much has changed since those early days of watching old Benny Hinn VHS tapes and re-enacting Carman music videos. Yet, I wouldn’t trade those memories on the porch of that sweet old lady for anything. Out of all that has come and gone, there is one thing that has remained consistent, and that is the bond that both Pastor Bryan Davis and I share for the Kingdom. Since then, we have both grown in our love for the Lord, and I have watched the standard that Pastor Bryan has set for himself and his ministry.
In a day when much of mainstream Christianity is more focused on being politically and culturally relevant, it is refreshing to know that there are still those who put God’s presence before personal preference and Holy Spirit power before popularity. You can now find a plethora of ministries of every type just about anywhere you travel. Social media has now become a platform of diverse ministries to the point that if you cannot find what you are looking for, it’s because you are not looking.
We are in a time where having a huge ministry is more important than having an effective one. We have raised a generation that will relentlessly build their ministry without considering God’s Kingdom. If we have ever needed the Kingdom message of Dominion, it is today. Pastor Bryan Davis excellently lays out God’s original plan for humanity in his book, starting from Genesis and onward. It is my prayer that through your reading of this book, you will discover who you are and what it is to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom as you walk in heavenly Dominion on this earth.
I have personally known Pastor Bryan for most of his life and can attest to the fact that there is no one he loves more than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I have and will always be eternally grateful for his friendship and spiritual influence in my life. For as long as I have known Pastor Bryan, he has always sought to live a life of personal integrity. His knowledge of the scripture has always impressed me. I do not believe I can count on one hand the times I have seen him without a Bible in his hand or nearby. As a student and teacher of the Word, you will be greatly blessed by pastor Bryan’s work concerning Dominion.

The Original Gospel
This Gospel Of The Kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations
(Matthew 24:14, MEV).
Your Kingdom Come; your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven
(Matthew 6:10, MEV).
Dear reader, I would like to welcome you to the revolutionary Gospel of the Kingdom. This message is sparse today in the midst of a Sesame Street Church that prefers light shows to prayer and coffee to fasting, yet here we are.
I realize that you have just picked up this book, but please do me a favor before reading any further. Put on some iron toed shoes, lean in, and pay close attention to what I am about to say. I don’t feed people spiritual milk. I feed you spiritual steak, and the first truth bomb I’m about to drop is going to break religious toes.
From the outset of this book, my first goal is to make you lose your religion. I am going to attempt to convey to you what the Bible is actually about.
The mistake we have made in history is attempting to place Jesus next to a whole line of backslidden fraudulent philosophers and founders of religion who are currently dead. However, it’s impossible to put life on the same shelf as dead people. It’s impossible to find the living among the dead. Jesus Christ, unlike other religious leaders, isn’t dead. In fact, he’s the only one that got back up!
Jesus never claimed to be a religious figure.
The first thing you need to know is that Jesus never came to start a religion. In fact, he was never religious!
Jesus Christ didn’t come to introduce a new code of behavior. He’s not standing in a corner with a long line of religious leaders saying, my book is the right one!
Who was Jesus then, pastor?
you may ask.
My answer is Jesus was the Son of God who paid the death penalty and Sins penalty through His death on an old rugged cruel beam so that our souls could go free.
Nobody else can do that, and nobody else has done that!
He was crucified on Good Friday, an old rugged cross, and lay stone-cold dead in a borrowed tomb. However, death had no sting in Him, and the grave couldn’t hold His victory. As the sun arose that blessed first day of the week across the midwestern horizon of Ancient Israel, hell shook whenever the sun’s glow removed the shadow over that garden tomb and revealed He lives forevermore!
Forty days later, after raising from death and being seen by over five hundred witnesses, gravity lost hold of Jesus as He victoriously ascended to Heaven and walked His nail-pierced feet across the golden laden bricks of Heaven’s streets, and sat down at the Father’s right hand and became a high priest that is presently interceding for us all.
When you pray, my friend, Jesus walks that prayer right over to His Father. You aren’t reading me right.
