In this sermon excerpt, Blake Robert Templeton argues that Jesus gave humanity a radical mandate: to exercise full dominion over the earth, not merely in stewardship of creation but as authority over the spiritual enemy. He asserts that God called men to become ambassadors and warriors of heaven, actively advancing the kingdom by refusing to cooperate with darkness and standing in the blood of Jesus. Templeton contrasts this high‑calling with the modern church’s tendency to be passive spectators, labeling it a forgotten “holy rebellion” that should instead be a collective, militant pursuit of God’s kingdom.

Chapters

Jesus announced something radical, and that was that he wanted to actually take full dominion over the earth. He wanted Adam and Eve to rule and reign. He wanted them to fully have control. And so we always look at that as being about the actual fish and the birds and the sea and multiplying, having babies, but it was more than that. It was about having authority over the enemy. Authority over the enemy. He called men to join the advance, to actually be ambassadors of heaven. But still, most people are spectators, religious observers. But God called us to be warriors of heaven. Men refuse to cooperate with darkness when they actually stand in the blood of Jesus. And that's what changes things. That is why the holy rebellion is actually for. That's what it's all about. The kingdom of God advances through men who refuse to cooperate with darkness. And that brings us to something the modern church has forgotten.
