  • Ive been discussing our rights as "joint heirs" with Jesus within the family of God, within the Kingdom of God, where we operate "in Christ" by faith.
    Ive also been discussing our entitlement to the blessings of our Father Abraham which is our inheritance as Saints in Light. (Deut 28:1-13) (Romans 4:11)

    Let me break all this down as a type of Sunday school lesson, in case some of you need some fresh light...

    Saints...we have "rights" and "entitlements", based on the fact that we are now become the Sons of God, uniquely restored to this position by our "in Christ" born again status which establishes us forever as "joint heirs" WITH Christ.
    Now do you see the word "Heir"?
    Do you see the word "Christ"?
    That's your position..
    YOURS.!!
    It does not get any higher in position within the family of God, then to be an "heir" who is equal with the Son of God.
    See...regarding our position "in Christ", we are co-owners of all that Christ possesses, as we are "joint heirs",.... that is to say "co-possesors" of all he has.
    And what does he have?.......He has everything, as he is God and God possesses all "things which were created by Christ"...(Colossians 1:16)
    Saint, all this is our inheritance position within the family of God, within the Kingdom of God, based on being reestablished through Christ as SONS of God.

    Now notice this that im about to show you, as it will help you to understand your position in the family of God as a co-owner and heir of all that Jesus has and all that Jesus is..
    Ephesians 2:6....."And he has raised us up , and made us sit in heavenly placed "in Christ".
    Now, do you realize what this scripture is showing you?
    It is identifying you completely with Christ, because its literally you who is seated in this position in heaven.
    Now, Get that...
    Grab a hold of this scripture so that you can understand your position in the family of God is so exactly identified with Jesus's exact position, that God has said you are right now.... raised up..... just as Christ was raised from the dead, and you are seated right now next to God, just as Jesus is also.
    Do you see it?
    Thats YOU.
    God through Paul said you are "raised up", just as Jesus was raised up from the dead.
    And also....
    "and made Us, YOU,..."sit together in heavenly places"".
    Now do you realize what this is showing you?
    Its describing that YOU and CHRIST are both sitting at the right hand of the Father, right now.
    Now, get all that....
    Grab a hold of this scripture so that you can understand your position in the family of God is so exactly identified with Jesus's position, that God has said you are right now "raised up" as Christ was raised from the dead, and you are "seated right NOW in heavenly places", just as Jesus is also.
    Do you see it?
    Thats YOU.
    Thats YOUR POSITION in the Family of God.
    "raised up and seated".....Just like Jesus is raised from the dead and now is seated at the right hand of the Father..
    That is what your salvation has also done for you, as well as forgiven you your sins.
    Salvation has reestablished your position in the family of God, as the same as Christ's.
    You are in him, he is in you, and both are in the Father as ONE.

    Saint....now look very closely at this scripture::::

    John 17:22, ....Jesus speaking......."and the Glory which thou (God) gavest me >I have given THEM<;, that they may be one, even as we are one.".
    Now do you see that?
    Jesus is explaining to you that his "glory", his very essence and his power and position, he has given to you.
    Its YOURS, right now.
    Thats YOU.

    Now, do you begin to see your real blood bought position in the family of God?
    Then REJOICE.
    Hallelujah !!
    Do you see now that you are not just forgiven, but you are given such an exalted position in God's family that Jesus himself said he gives you HIS "glory".
    HIS "glory"!!!!.
    Its YOURS as he said he gave it to you.
    Thats your position in the family of God.

    Saint, study the scriptures im giving you....seize the revelation.....and REJOICE to understand who you have become In Christ, and now exist forever as, in God's family.
    Grasp the esteem with which you are honored by God to have because of the depth of the riches of the Grace of God that has been poured out on you because of what Jesus died to provide for you.
    Its AMAZING !!
    You have not just been forgiven, you have been completely restored back to such a high position in the family of God, as to be called an "heir" with Christ and Son of God..
    And if you can grab this truth....if you can realize yourself as God has reestablished you to be, then you will be able to have faith based influence for him, based on your knowledge of who you are in him...,."in Christ".
    You will be able to know him in a different light, as you realize that exactly how he sees you, is how you are to see yourself..
    And in this, you can come to understand all you have access to, and why, regarding the power of Christ, the provision of God, and the blessings of God.
    You will be able to receive from God all he has for your life and your ministry because you understand your position in his family and the authority it gives you in this dark world.

    Saint, you right now have exactly the same rights, entitlements, power, and authority, as Jesus.
    You have been reestablished as a Son of God to have all this, based on your born again restoration within the family of God, within the Kingdom of God.
    This is what Jesus has died to provide you, as this is what being forgiven and born again provides for you.
    Its all YOURS, its all done.........its finished.........you've been restored and reestablished as a Saint with the authority of Christ, "in Christ".
    And you are to walk in this position of authority in this earth, just as Christ did, using all that God has which is yours by right of inheritance based on your born again position "in Christ"..
    Thats your Salvation, that you are to "work out".......and to work it out is to come to the understanding of who you are "in Christ"
    Salvation and atonement is so deep, its so rich, its so wide, its so powerful, its so complete in its restoration of you back to your rightful position as a Son of God , that your bible identifies you as "bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh".....Ephesians 5:30
    That is you and Christ.........the same............"one".
    Isnt it remarkable what God has done for us?
    Get the revelation of who you are in the family of God, as "in Christ and Christ in you" IS your eternal identity, your status, and your position within the family of God.
    God has identified you completely with Christ, as if he is you and you are him.
    And this is why Paul says that..... "it is not he that liveth, but Christ who liveth in him".....Galations 2:20.
    This is who you are...,according to God., and this is the "excellency of the knowledge of Christ", which is to know what he has done for you, and recreated you to be, so that you can do for him with your life what he died to do for us all.
    Rejoice. !!

We who have died in Christ have given up all rights. Only the flesh wants rights. The Lord's will be done. Not our will...

We are to be bond-slaves of Christ. Having given up any rights to our own well being...even poured out as a living sacrifice for the use of God that He might further His kingdom.
