Let's look at this transition closely. This shift from deliverance to dominion wasn’t easy for the children of Israel because Moses who had brought them deliverance was dead. The manna that had sustained them in the wilderness ceased. 

For deliverance, we rely on a “Moses” or a minister, but to exercise our dominion, we have to rely on the Holy Spirit. You can’t allow the absence of Moses to shake your faith. The removal of Moses is a sign that God is developing you to become His warrior. In fact, you can’t walk in victory if you always rely on your minister or leader who helped you get free. Deliverance occurred only because someone else carried the anointing.  But now you can’t walk successfully in dominion through your “promised land” by borrowing from someone else’s relationship with God. You have to put that ark of the covenant on your own shoulders. Develop your own times of prayer and fasting. Get into your secret place and discover intimacy with the Holy Spirit. 

No one can get into the promised land riding on the anointing of Moses. You can get out of Egypt like that, but living in your own “promised land” or destiny will not happen that way. If relying on men of God enabled you to get out of Egypt, that will not work in the next season of life.  A healthy dominion-mentality requires you to rely not on a man but on the Holy Spirit. 

When Jesus was on the earth, God’s anointing rested on Him. Then He promised that the Holy Spirit would rest upon His Body, the Church, which entered it’s promised land when the Holy Spirit descended on all 120 disciples present in the upper room - not just on the apostles or prophets but on every disciple of Jesus. Without a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit, there is no dominion. The Holy Spirit is the ark of the covenant and it’s time to carry Him wherever you go.  You must realize that the Holy Spirit wants to have a relationship with you, so talk to Him, walk with Him and obey His voice.  If life in bondage was the result of being full of demons, then the life of dominion is the result of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Fighting back is different than receiving freedom. In freedom, someone else helped you to get free, the Moses that God used. But in fighting, you must develop your own personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.
