You can't escape the principle of
dominion.
It's built into the way God made the world.
So you either...
Get dominion by walking in the Spirit and applying Scripture to all of your life and circumstances...
Or get dominated by sin and its consequences as you yield to fleshly impulses.
This is why the psalmist prays:
"Direct my footsteps according to your word; and let no iniquity rule over me" (Ps.119:133).
