Good morning heirs of God!

Acts 20:32 (TLB) says,

• And now I entrust you to God and His care and to His wonderful Words that are able to build your faith and give you ALL THE INHERITANCE of those who are set apart for Himself.

What does it mean to give you ALL THE INHERITANCE?  The Word is what will build you up and give you YOUR INHERITANCE.

Ephesians 1:11 (NLT) says,

• Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an INHERITANCE from God, for He chose us in advance, and He makes everything work out according to His plan.

Notice it does not say you are GOING to receive an INHERITANCE? It says, you HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED it! This Scripture is in the PAST TENSE. You HAVE RECEIVED AN INHERITANCE from God!

Part of YOUR INHERITANCE includes your position with God in heaven AFTER you go home to be with the Lord, but you have entered into YOUR INHERITANCE RIGHT NOW here on the earth!  You can operate in that INHERITANCE today!

Colossians 1:12 (NLT) says,

• He has enabled you to share in the INHERITANCE that belongs to His people, who live in the light.

GOD has enabled you to share in YOUR INHERITANCE.  It belongs to you right now! Verses 13-14 (KJV) go on to say,

• Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; In Whom we have redemption through His blood…

Family, you are the redeemed! Jesus made you able to partake of YOUR INHERITANCE. It is yours! You are able to receive it and walk in it because God has said that you are able. Another translation of verse 12 is,

• Who has made us able to enjoy our share of the INHERITANCE.

I exhort you to give the Father thanks ~ He has made you able to enjoy your share of the INHERITANCE.  Praise and thanksgiving are so important to the Father and they play a big part in receiving YOUR INHERITANCE.

You may be asking, “Well, what did I INHERIT in Him?  Did I just INHERIT heaven as my home?” No, because Hebrews 1:4 (AMPC) says,

• [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has INHERITED is different from and more excellent than theirs.

You have INHERITED JESUS’ AUTHORITY as well as HIS NAME. You have INHERITED the kingdom of God. Colossians 2:9-10 (NLT) says,

• For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in human body.  So you are complete through your Union with Christ, Who is the head over every ruler and authority.  

Did you hear that, beloved?  It said, “YOU ALSO ARE COMPLETE THROUGH YOUR UNION WITH CHRIST…”  In YOU, all that is in the Godhead – Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Heavenly Father, the mind of Christ, the faith of God and the love of God is embodied in YOU!  

Everything Jesus received when He was raised from the dead is YOURS!  Not just a part of it ~ ALL of it!  Jesus went to the right hand of the Father when He was raised from the dead and Ephesians 2:6 says that is where you are right now:

• For He raised US from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.

Jesus is in you and you are in Him.  HIS INHERITANCE and YOUR INHERITANCE are one and the same!  You are a joint heir with Him! 

Walking in my INHERITANCE,
