Dominion

"God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Genesis 1:28

So today I took dominion over the ground hornet that was taking up residency in our landscaping. From what we have researched they don't usually sting humans, they reserve it for locusts that they kill and eat. BUT....we have 2 small children and we were so not liking these HUGE insects buzzing around in the yard making us uncomfortable and on edge. We tried to no avail last night in capturing them and spraying them.

Well, today I got brave. With little mister Gabe at my side I watched one try to dig another hole and put the glass jar over the top. There were 2 huge gaps in the position it was in and I was thinking there was no way I was really going to get it. So I prayed. This prayer:

VERY loudly: "In Jesus' Name, Father I ask You would help me capture this bug...In Jesus' Name...and that critter very calmly crawled into the jar. I was shaking so bad for fear it would escape and attack me or Gabe. But no......I took dominion in Jesus' Mighty Name and now a dear little boy in the community has another critter for his bug collection he is starting.

(They had to explain to me that you put finger nail polish remover on a cottonball and slip it in the jar....yeah we watched the critter die and it wasnt' a pretty sight...he pooped and all.)

Jason came home for lunch shortly after my victory, still shaking but estatic, I said Honey Look!

He was mighty impressed with his wifey....just ask him ;)

Then I said, is it okay that I prayed like that? He said yes and reminded me of the verse in Genesis. And then afterwards God reminded me this is once again another testimony I must share of the Mighty Name of Jesus and the power it holds. Hallelujah!

We have one more critter out there digging holes....so tomorrow I will be taking gasoline and filling up the holes to gas them out. Wish me luck! and don't forget: There's no such thing as a stupid prayer. God cares about all the details in our lives!!!
