Much of discipleship is about overcoming an orphan spirit and poverty spirit. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, to block our inheritance - this has been the enemy’s strategy since Genesis 3 and this is what Jesus came to save us from.
Jesus came as a man and lived fully as a Son and as an heir. He died and rose again to give us ALL, in Christ, access to the same. Many believers have accepted Jesus’ provision of forgiveness, but are still living as orphans, disconnected from inheritance.
In giving us life, Jesus restores our connection to God as Father. In giving us abundant life, He restores our access to inheritance.
While on the journey of discovering who we are as sons and daughters, the answers are not found at the surface - they are found in the depths of our hearts and there is a Tour Guide who knows those depths better than anyone or anything; His Name is Holy Spirit.
The role of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to lead us into Sonship. He works within us to restore our relationship with the Father. He speaks to us about who we are, whose we are, and the inheritance we have access to as a result of our identity as sons and daughters.
It’s not an easy path, but as we choose to embrace the process of living wholeheartedly, we begin to realign ourselves to how God originally designed, created, purposed and destined us for.
Love,
Joel
