When we talk to most Christians about their inheritance in God, they always talk about all the blessings they can get; this is because most people are focused on this life. Their focus is on having the things their soul desires. They have not yet experienced the heavenly places in Christ. Once we taste of His glory, this world loses its attraction; our only desire is to see the Kingdom come down into the earth realm.
The self-nature or ego is conditioned on having. Our soul identifies with having, our spirit identifies with being. When our spirit is awake and active it hungers and thirsts after His righteousness and His kingdom. Righteousness speaks of the standard of God which is Himself (His nature, His way of doing things); the kingdom speaks of His government established in our lives and then upon the earth. The kingdom is not in word but power. When Jesus cast our devils and healed the sick, He said the kingdom of God has come upon you. The kingdom is the government of God, which is all about His authority and power coming into manifestation upon the earth.
The Word of God says that the exceeding great and precious promises have to do with partaking of His nature. We must appropriate His nature, in order to inherit the kingdom. Our inheritance in the kingdom is dependent upon becoming an over comer. Inheriting the kingdom is becoming a king. It is through partaking of the divine nature that we overcome all the things that are not a part of the kingdom. We don’t just inherit things; we inherit His nature.
To come into our inheritance, we must have proof that we are an heir. Only when we have so progressed in the divine nature, so that the signs of maturity are coming forth in us will we pass the test and start experiencing our inheritance.
Our inheritance is more than things, it’s more than circumstances being altered, it’s more than a comfortable life, and it’s more than a meaningful life. It is an entering in and partaking of His very nature.
This is referring to the adoption of sons. According to Jewish custom a child at the age of 12, was acknowledged by his father and proclaimed as an heir. A child was under the care of his mother or guardians and managers until about the age of twelve. Then he was told, “Today you are a man. Today you begin to learn to be responsible for yourself. Now you’re going to learn to be a man and develop awareness and a consciousness of being a heir.
Difference Between 12-Year-Old and 30-Year-Old in the Bible
In the Bible, 12 years old and 30 years old mark two distinct stages of life, each with its own spiritual and cultural significance.
12-Year-Old: A Transition to Responsibility.
In the Old Testament, age 12 (or 13 in some traditions) is often seen as the beginning of a more responsible stage of life. In Jewish custom, the Bar Mitzvah (age 13 for boys) and Bat Mitzvah (age 12 for girls) mark the start of religious responsibilities under the Torah. In the New Testament, Jesus’ visit to the Temple at age 12 (Luke 2:41–52) shows Him engaging in deep theological discussion, indicating spiritual maturity, but He still returned with His parents and remained under their care. This suggests that while He was beginning to take on adult-like responsibilities, He was still considered a child in many respects.
30-Year-Old: A Threshold of Maturity and Calling
Age 30 appears repeatedly in Scripture as a marker of readiness for leadership and service. In the Old Testament, priests began their service at 30 (Numbers 4:3), and David became king at 30 (2 Samuel 5:4) after years of preparation. Joseph entered Pharaoh’s service at 30 (Genesis 41:46) after years of trials, and Jesus began His public ministry at about 30 (Luke 3:23). These examples show that 30 is often the age when years of preparation meet divine commissioning—when one is physically, emotionally, and spiritually ready to lead or serve in a significant role.
Key Differences
Twelve years old: Marks the start of formal religious responsibilities in Jewish tradition; in Jesus’ case, shows early spiritual insight but still under parental care.
Thirty years old: Marks a readiness for full adult responsibilities, leadership, and public service, often after years of preparation.
At age 30 a father called his child a son and he received his inheritance in the family business.
We progress spiritually from children to adults. Paul told the Corinthians, “I must treat you like babes and give you the milk. I can’t feed you with the meat of the word as if you were full grown. You’re not able to bear it yet.” Jesus told His disciples, “I have many things to tell you, but you’re not able to bear them now” indicating that in the time of immaturity there is a great holding back of the things God would give us of the provision He made for us.
Our inheritance as an heir never changes. Jesus has done everything He can to guarantee that it is ours, but we must qualify for it. If we continue in a state of spiritual immaturity, we will possess very little of what God has planned for us. God has ordered certain things for us to go through, all with the design of bringing us into what He has for us. The Lord has a way of maturing us. If our relationship to God is without chastening, then we are not an heir.
Our relationship to the Father necessitates certain disciplines that will bring us from a child to the place where we enter into our inheritance.
We have not yet begun to enter the great provision that God has for our life—all the things that pertain to life and godliness.
We are presently struggling with limitations and these areas of lack and need are not at all in the perfect will of God for the mature son. It is only a temporary arrangement to hold us in restraint while we are a child. We are being treated as a child in order that we can be brought through the spiritual discipline and maturing of our spirit into the fullness that He has for us.
Just because our emotions seem to change and we fluctuate in the degree of our faithfulness, just because we waver between a position of walking with God or failing to walk with God, the promises of God do not fluctuate the same way. When we walk unfaithfully, He abides faithful still. He cannot deny Himself.
Just because we have failed doesn’t make God change His mind. Just because we are a mess doesn’t suddenly change the way God see’s us. Because we have walked in a way that hasn’t pleased the Lord doesn’t mean that His purpose toward us has changed. We must realize that He knew what a mess we were when He gave the first word concerning us. We are just finding it out now. When we begin to realize what a mess, we are on the inside it is an upward step in revelation. There is no one who has so few faults as the immature babe who thinks that they have arrived and that everything is already theirs, when they are still stumbling around, unable to appropriate hardly anything.
That full assurance of hope is what we need. We are heirs of God and He’s going to show to the heirs the unchangeableness of His purpose. God can do anything; therefore, He can impose upon Himself a restriction to abide faithfully to His promises.
Then every promise He makes is a limitation upon Him, but it is a lack of limitation to us. There must be a corresponding balance. There cannot be any liberation, any glorious blessing for us unless He has limited Himself in it. He says, “You call upon me and I’ll answer you.” Now He must answer us every time we call on Him. Every time He makes a promise or a commitment, He places a restriction and limitation upon Himself.
There may be a lot of storms buffeting us, but when we are anchored within the veil, nothing can move us. Right in the very heart of God—that’s where our anchor holds. It’s impossible for God to lie and by oath and a promise He sets before us, the unchangeableness of His purpose. His purpose toward us is unchangeable!
We have a glorious inheritance and God is faithful. But we must learn how to grow up out of our immaturity and become sons. God must teach us just exactly how to do this. When we are talking about sons of God, we are not talking about male and female but the spirit of Jesus Christ. We are talking about being led by the Spirit.
The first quality of real maturity is submission. This is why young people who are leaving the child stage and becoming adults have such a great tendency toward rebellion. They struggle around with rebellion because rebellion is the opposite of the submissiveness necessary for maturity. It’s difficult for young people to submit to the things that are required of them and that they know are good for them because that requires a maturity. To go to work, day after day, to study day after day, requires a maturity.
The first thing we must do is submit to the will of God. Wherever we see resentment, we see immaturity. A mature person faces their problems and all their disappointments with maturity. When a person is immature, resentment and bitterness build up and they look around for someone or something to blame.
In their lack of submission, children are often independent. So, they bring themselves into situations where their very independence must be taken away. We must learn how in everything to be submissive to the Lord. In everything we must give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us.
We are to even give thanks when we stumble and fall. We have now learned how foolish we are in our independence. Now we know that we will have to depend upon the Lord and trust Him. No matter what happens to us we should look up and say, “Thank you, Lord. If God has delivered us over to our foolishness, it’s in order that we might appropriate His wisdom.
To learn how to be submissive to the Lord in everything we do is the first quality of maturity. If we have any of these negative attitudes that prevent submission, such as resentment, bitterness, rebellion, or an independent spirit, we will have to learn how to deal with it. When we have learned how to deal with it, we have taken a step toward maturity and our inheritance in the Lord.
To enter maturity and begin to partake of our inheritance we will have to learn how to walk in divine love, this is a responsible love. To love without a sense of responsibility is so immature that it cannot even be considered as love in the true sense of the word. Real true love is responsible. It does not expose the one we love to a situation for which we cannot be responsible. This is the love of maturity. The love of a mature person is always a responsible love. Before a child reaches an age where he is considered a mature adult, they are not considered to be responsible. In the eyes of the law, when a juvenile, commits a crime, they are not penalized as severely as an adult would be. No permanent record is kept of that offense.
This is a spiritual principle. If we don’t want to be held responsible for our actions, then we can’t expect to inherit the promises. These two contrasting conditions will not co-exist. We can’t come to God and ask Him not to hold us responsible for our actions; we are just a little child. Please forgive me for all my bitterness and resentment; forgive me for all these things I’ve done wrong; and then expect to inherit all the promises when we have not been proven faithful. If we want to accept the responsibilities of maturity, then we can become an heir of all the things that God sets before us.
God does not promise us a special blessing without us first proving our love for Him in carrying a responsibility day by day. As we mature and grow in our walk with God we begin to carry heavy loads. We have almost impossible demands placed upon us. We must walk in the supernatural because it is imperative.
As sons we possess great portions of our spiritual inheritance because the Father’s business requires it. We cannot obey God’s will for our lives without appropriating His provision for us. We must love Him so much that we take the responsibilities of sons. This is how we become the heirs of God in actual fulfillment.
To enter into our inheritance, we have to learn how to rule over our own spirit in dealing with all the negative emotions, the things that emotionally stir us up to get us off track. The mark of a child is the fact that they are continually influenced by their emotions which continually deflect them from the path they need to be walking on.
Those who are spiritually mature set their course, ruling their own spirit, determined that nothing will distract them from the course that God sets before them. They are not victims of immature emotions. They have learned to rule their own spirits, and this is a mark of maturity.
To enter into our inheritance, we need a faith that is steadfast and demanding. When we are spiritually mature, we do not need to be continually sustained by an illusion of things, we are able to face realities. Abraham considered his body as good as dead, yet he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God.
This faith works by love. To first accept that we are the beloved of God, our behavior does not affect His love for us. Then He imparts His very own divine love to us through the infilling of His Spirit and this love is a determined love, that sets about to love with all the heart. So, we love Him back with the love He imparts to our spirit, which is a determined love which also involves a faith that is steadfast and is demanding of God.
Real maturity never isolates itself from God. We need to have faith in our relationship with God. A faith that is steadfast and demanding because we sense that all we are and all we are ever going to be is based upon that relationship.
It is in learning how to abide in Him that we grow spiritually. No matter how weak we are in our self, we have faith in our relationship with God, we need to learn how to lay hold of Him, not draw back from Him.
Generosity is a mark of maturity. People who are immature are not giving away much. They are demanding, not giving. It is our soul that tries to hang on to things, our spirit is always giving. Maturity is becoming a life-giving spirit.
Rebecca was a beautiful girl, but you could fill a harem with them back in the days of Abraham. When Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac, his servant looked for a generous girl. When the servant asked for a drink, she also drew water for the camels.
The capacity to give of ourselves is a mark of maturity. We must get rid of the self-centeredness. Self-pity rules among those who think only of themselves. They remember every occasion when they have been offended. They tend to be unforgiving because they have not the generosity to forgive. When we tune into the love of God for others, we get out of our self.
When we are on the soul-level we are limited, but God delights in manifesting His fullness through our limitation. It is as we tune into the life flow of His Spirit that we are lifted out of our self and all its manifestations. At no time is our limitation a challenge to His omnipotence and His omniscience. If we want to believe that all things are possible, then we must stay open to the impartation of His faith. At no time does our ignorance interfere with His wisdom. If we lack wisdom, we ask of Him, and He will give to us liberally and chastise us not. We are not to focus on what we are lacking; He is our sufficiency and desires to pour out His Spirit upon us.
The Holy Spirit is the administrator (the one who manages our life, our governor) of our inheritance. He is the one called alongside to help.
We need to learn how to draw upon our inheritance. The Holy Spirit deals out the shares as we are faithful. To enter this process, we must begin to start asking, seeking and knocking. The Lord says whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. The Holy Spirit must reveal to us what is ours. We do not want to be ignorant of what is legally ours. We are not to be ignorant of the gifts of the Spirit.
When a person is arrested, the police must immediately inform them of their constitutional rights. In the same way the Holy Spirit also helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should. He prays through us and reveals our covenant rights. He reveals the processes which God has set in motion on our behalf, the spiritual laws, or principles to bring us into the reality of what He has provided for us in Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is Himself is the first installment of our inheritance. To have the Holy Spirit in us is the door opener to our full inheritance. He takes of what is provided and imparts it to us. He is the beginning of our inheritance. And He comes as a pledge and a guarantee that the rest will be forthcoming.
Having the Holy Spirit in us proves that we are an heir. And He is the means by which all the promises of God can come into manifestation in our life. If someone comes to us and asks, “Are you sure you’re an heir of God?” we can answer confidently, “Yes, I already have the first installment of my inheritance.”
God puts His seal upon the transaction, assuring us that all the rest of that glorious inheritance is to come. What is our inheritance? God’s plan is that we be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, made like unto Him in all things. It is His will that it be completely worked in us, His very nature being reproduced in us, the bringing forth of many sons to glory. He desires to robe us with deity, to grant us to sit with Him upon the throne. Our inheritance is to become a king.
We are going to think as He thinks because we will have His mind. We are going to feel as He feels. Our emotions will be the same because we are going to have the fruit of the Spirit. Our character is going to be the same as His. This is our inheritance.
The Holy Spirit comes to convey (the transporter, to serve as a medium of transmission, to take from one place to another, to serve as a channel, to communicate, make known, to impart, to move in us in a continuous flow) our inheritance to us.
The Holy Spirit is the one who has the responsibility of dealing it out or distributing it. He gives it to us in portions at regular intervals, as we are faithful in little, more is given.
Jesus had to die and be glorified in order that the New Covenant or the will could be opened. The Holy Spirit is the minister of the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit could not come to create that divine fountain within us until the estate was administered. Once Jesus was glorified and all things were placed within His hand, then the Holy Spirit could begin to minister the divine inheritance through the channels the Lord has provided, we literally come and drink of our inheritance, until we to become a fountain of it.
Jesus has appointed the Holy Spirit to administer the fullness that lies within Him. Jesus has all fullness—all things are His—and He appoints the Holy Spirit to come and administer it to us. He will come and disclose it to us and manifest it to us.
The Holy Spirit does not just minister experiences to us. He administers the fullness of Jesus to us. In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit’s basic purpose and function is to enlarge our horizons and expand our understanding, so that we can know how tremendous the things that God has for us are.
Our experience is only a small token of our inheritance. We need to realize our utter dependence upon the Lord to reveal to us what is ours. Jesus said the works that He did while upon the earth we would do and greater. This must become a revelation to us.
We need to look for the Administrator of the Covenant to lead us and teach us how we can come into this inheritance. He is to bring all the truth to us, to let us know the fullness of everything that we are to have.
He must reveal to us the unbelief that we have in us. We have a human nature of unbelief, and we need an awareness of His presence for His faith to come and work through us. We have been limited in our understanding of what God really has for us. We need all the nine gifts of the Spirit operating in us. We need to have revealed to us God’s plan for kingdom invasion. The book of revelation is still a mystery to the church. The teaching that has been published concerning end time events is man’s wisdom. This is the time when the Holy Spirit will remove the seals on the book, to those who are crying out to understand it.
By his lying spirits Satan is constantly working to counteract what God is revealing by His Spirit. He tries to make us feel unworthy. Jesus died for us to pay our debt of sin, so that He can administer His fullness to us through the Holy Spirit. He becomes our worthiness. Christ in us the hope (confident expectation) of glory. That’s all the worthiness there can be for anyone.
We must begin to believe that God is going to open the eyes of our understanding and impart to us His wisdom and guide us into all the truth.
God has prepared so much for us. Things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, has God prepared for those who love Him, we cannot comprehend what is legally ours unless the Spirit of God reveals it to us.
The Holy Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. The Holy Spirit is the Administrator and He works in two directions. First, He keeps listening to all the conversations and communications between the Father and the Son about us. Jesus intercedes to the Father on our behalf. Whatever the Holy Spirit hears them speak, that He is going to speak to us. He listens to it all and then He reveals it to us. He penetrates deep into the depths of God so He can know the things that belong to us. God appointed Him to represent our cause and He does a very good job of it. We don’t yet fully comprehend this.
After He has reached into the depths of the Father, which only the Spirit of God can penetrate, the next thing He must do is make us aware of at least a small measure of what that depth is. And this is the difficulty, to penetrate our darkness and give us an understanding and perception to begin to see all the good things that God has for us.
He has to order our circumstance because we cannot hear His voice, so that we will come into contact with someone who understands what is ours. We must come into contact with a book, a tape, a movie, some vehicle where we can hear His voice.
We must come into a purity of heart before we can see or receive direct revelation from God. But until we learn the difference between our spirit and the soul this is very difficult, we are not aware of the things of our soul life that veil us from the truth. We are a people whose eyes have never seen it, whose ears have not heard, our wildest imagination couldn’t fathom it—and that is why we need the Administrator of the Covenant. No one would ever dream that God had so many things.
As we walk into the land of promise, we don’t realize what is under the surface. The gold is mine, the silver is mine, the oil is mine—everything is mine, “says the Lord”, “and I’m giving it all to you.” Sometimes we walk along so unaware of all that He has for us. So, the Holy Spirit says, “It’s my job to reach you. I’m going to help you now. I’m going to put in your heart the awareness of what God has prepared for you.”
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? As we become aware of our spirit, we are going to become aware of the thoughts in our soul that are veiling us from knowing the truth.
Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. That’s why we need the Administrator. He knows how to bridge the gap between what God has provided and what we are appropriating. The work of the Holy Spirit is to change a theory into a reality, that which we don’t even understand into a spiritual reality that we can walk in.
On the soul level we have to understand everything before we walk in it. In the spirit level we act and then the understanding comes. As soon as we have a witness in our spirit, we act upon it. If the truth is only in our mind, it is still just a theory, but when we get the word in our spirit it becomes a living reality.
We need to know what our rights are. We need to know what we can claim. We need to come to the Lord on a legal basis. God is a God of principle and law. Even the grace of God is based upon a law. For everything God gives us, a price had to be paid by Jesus Christ. The Father gave His Son to pay the price to make it legally ours. Then He gave us the Holy Spirit to administer that fullness and make us aware of it so we can claim and appropriate it.
It is through a legal structure that God has provided everything for us. In the Old Testament, He made Covenants. In the New Testament, He gave us a New Covenant in His blood—the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness and opens the door for the fullness of the Spirit to dwell in us.
We do not love Him enough yet, our love for Him has not been perfected in us, and there are still forms of fear in our soul. We don’t even begin to comprehend how completely the heart of the Father is turned toward us. We don’t understand how completely the Lord has taken our place and opened to us all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ. All things are ours. We are not growing fast enough; we need to be moving from one level or place to another in our relationship with Him. From grace to grace, from faith to faith, from strength to strength, from glory to glory, this is our inheritance.
We do not yet understand how the Holy Spirit administers to us His fullness. Everything we receive from God comes through the principle of transference. The fault is not with the Father; the fault is not in the completeness of Jesus’ sacrifice (for by one sacrifice our Lord has forever perfected them that are sanctified). The provision was perfect. And if we’re not walking in that perfection, it’s because we’re not letting the Holy Spirit bring it to us. We’re not open and teachable or we have been distracted by other things.
We need to understand how we grieve the Holy Spirit and how we are not being yielded to the Holy Spirit. We need to understand why we have reached an impasse, why we are not breaking through into more and more from God?
Now we have received the Spirit, which is from God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into levels of appropriation so that we can become the Church without spot or wrinkle in this generation.
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God (this is the problem: we are still moving too much on the natural plane or the human level, living in the realm of the soul, or whatever name we want to give it, we are not yet heavenly minded but earthly minded).We have to learn how to walk in the Spirit or we do not even perceive what the Spirit is trying to say to us.
No one can really understand the person who is spiritual. No one can judge them or evaluate them, for they are moving in another realm. The spiritual person is moving into a position, into a place where they can say, “Yes, I know I’m an heir. I know what the Holy Spirit is beginning to reveal. I’m listening. I’m spiritually tuned in. I’m not living on a natural plane like animals that do not perceive any of this, or humans that do not know what is really going on. I am destined to be a son of God, led by the Spirit of God, open to understand what God has in store for me; and as it is revealed to me by His Spirit, I’m going to walk in it with all of my heart, all of my spirit, soul and strength.
We’re looking for the Holy Spirit to lead us into the revelation of God’s great provision for us. We know it will exceed anything we could even imagine. We know that He uses channels and vessels: foundational ministries of apostles and prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. He uses the elders and the deacons.
But without being independent or lacking in submission to those channels that the Lord has chosen for us, there still needs to be a greater dependence upon the Holy Spirit speaking to us individually and our listening for His voice! We cannot be led by the Spirit until we learn to discern His voice. The ministries can help our faith, teach us, and help us to appropriate, but our focus needs to be- to listen to what God is saying to us personally.
The ministry of the word is a generalizing of the truth but cannot zero in on every need of every individual. The Holy Spirit needs to bring revelation to us individually, and specify exactly what we should be claiming, what we should be looking for and then He can bring confirmation to us through the ministry of others so that we know what to do.
As we begin to grow and mature and reach into God and begin to appropriate from Him, we begin to receive more of our inheritance and the problems we may be having at the moment have a way of disappearing.
We are in the day of the Lord’s presence; it is easier to appropriate now than it was for the generations of the past. They did not have the ministry of the word which is now being written. The Pastors had to try and solve every problem because the growth rate of the people was so slow. They did not grow rapidly enough; therefore, they were overwhelmed and overcome by the problems.
As we learn how to walk with God through practicing the principles being taught, we can outgrow ninety-five percent of the problems. The Pastors of a kingdom church don’t have to deal with them. They must look to the Lord and bind the spirits that work to blind the minds of the people. Turn the situation over to the Lord and loose the people to be able to see in the spirit. This is how Paul prayed.
As each distinct body of Christ grows and continues to come up to a higher spiritual level, they will grab hold of a truth and make it a part of them, and the problem they were having will be solved for them. Once the word becomes a part of our spirit, our will can activate it, we can walk in it.
When a little child grows up, they no longer have to worry about tying their shoelaces. They grow out of that problem. When we start seeking the Lord and waiting before Him, we grow out of many of the things that are have been limiting us. We grow up into God as we begin to appropriate Him.
As we grow in the grace and in the knowledge of the Lord, the problems (like the Egyptians) that we may see today, we will see no more. There are more problems ahead, but they will just cause us to seek the Lord more.
Our faith must grow in proportion to our need of faith. Our faith is probably sufficient for the needs we had a year ago, but if we are growing in the Lord, He will be leading us into greater things which require more faith.
In obtaining our inheritance we are going to have to learn how to enter the treasury, the vault where all the things that God has provided for us are stored. We are going to have to learn how to come boldly to the throne of grace to be able to become and to do and mercy if we are continually struggling with something.
Gold is a type of the divine nature, and we have access to the fort Knox of God. It is the secret place of communion with God. We must enter into His presence, where we are exposed to His glory so that it is transferred to us.
We need to understand what spiritual access really means, and what we have access to. What we should begin to believe God, to see manifested in our life.
To enter the treasury, we are going to have to have the key.
We have access to God, and this is one of the great mysteries in the scriptures. We need to realize that God has already opened the door to His provision, and it is our responsibility to go in and get it. This will change our thinking from the idea that God does everything sovereignly. God’s will does not automatically happen, but He has given us access to His provision and it is our responsibility and initiative to appropriate the provision and learn how to use the gifts that God has given, and see His will done upon the earth.
The Lord says, “I have the key of David’. Jesus is saying, “All things that the Father hath are mine. Everything in heaven and earth has been committed unto me. I have all authority in heaven and earth. I’m the one who opens, and no one can shut. I shut and no one opens. And I have set before you an open door.”
The man who had the key of David literally controlled the storehouse containing the vast wealth that David had amassed for the building of the temple. In the days of Isaiah, God said, “I give this man Eliakim the authority to open the national treasury, and no one can shut it. And when he shuts the door, no one will be able to open it. I’m going to make him like a father to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. He has the authority.”
We must learn how to enter the storehouse, it’s all legally ours. We are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. We do not realize how much is available to us and that we have total access.
To enter the fullness of God and to believe that all the gifts of the Spirit are available to us goes beyond the thinking of the average believer.
In The storehouse are all the promises of God that are found in His Word: “All things are yours,” and “all things are possible to him that believeth”.
The Lord has given us access to His treasury, when He opens the door to us nobody can shut it. When he shuts the door, nobody can get it, it comes by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Lord opened the door to the church who loved the brethren (all believers) because they had a little power, kept his word, and did not deny His name.
Most believers are not aware of the provision God has made for them. We can see this when we listen to their prayers for those who are dying with diseases. Healing is a provision of the New Covenant. We are living on peanuts when we could be eating a steak. Most believers are content with having so little, when they could at least walk in the same authority the first Adam had over the earth. Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we now have authority available to us over the heavens.
As we become faithful to walk in the light of the word we have, the Lord will open the door for us to enter warfare in the heavenlies, to pull down the evil Spirits that rule over cities. We will enter a breakthrough, where God gives us cities in the coming move of the Spirit upon the earth.
In order to use the key, we need to press into the Lord’s Presence, and what we see in the Spirit the father would do, we do- we bind spirits and we loose the will of God into the earth realm.
The women who were walking up the hill on the day after the Passover asked each other, “Who is going to roll away the stone. They did not realize that the stone would already be rolled away. The human mind anticipates problems that will never happen. We tend to back off from doing certain things when the Lord has already made the provision to meet the need. If we accept the thoughts of fear that hit our minds, we begin to attract to ourselves the things that we fear. We need to anticipate the fullness the Lord will release to us.
The human mind has been conditioned to restrictions. The government of our day will also impose restrictions upon us. There is only one resource that will meet the need, His authority over the spirits that govern people’s minds.
We have the key to release judgment in the earth, the key to bind, the key to loose, the key to create. We have the key to become that which our spirit can envision. We have the key to change. We have the key of stepping out of our heredity and human nature. We have the key to liberate all creation. It is all within God’s storehouse. When God sets before us an open door, it is the things that we can walk in. We have access to God’s secrets and all His treasures.
In the heavenly places in Christ, in the throne room there is authority over principalities and powers. We can bring those principalities down just like a farmer shoots down the vulture that is killing his chickens. We have authority over the futility of creation. We don’t realize how we can rise in the Spirit and prophesy against contrary situations.
God deals with us, not the world. He will deal with the world when we receive the revelation that the authority was committed to us to deal with them. How are we going to deal with the people in natural governments?
Psalm 2:1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
We are the Lord’s anointed; we bind the spirits at work in those who are in authority.
Psalm 149:1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 2Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Our heritage, our inheritance is to bind them with chains and fetters of iron. This is the heritage of the people of the Lord.
When God perfects our spirit, where our soul is dead to its human reactions, where we no longer take anything personally. Where we are no longer subjective in our emotions, but we live in the objective will of God, He will entrust to us the ministry of judgment.
We are not waiting on Jesus to come back; he is waiting on us. All judgement in the earth has been given to the saint’s, all we must do is allow the Holy Spirit to perfect the love of God in us. The wrath or passion of God is against all that hinders love because love wins.
As we learn how to live and walk in the Spirit. Then just like David in the natural possessed the cities in the Promised Land, we will do it in the Spirit, we will possess the earth for the Lord. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world otherwise my servants would fight.
We do not use earthly weapons and fight on a physical level. All we do is speak the word of authority, and the Ananias’s and Sapphira’s will fall dead at our feet. We see the ministry of judgment entrusted to the saints throughout the bible. Jesus is coming to be glorified in the personalities of His people, and they will become the vehicles He will use to release His judgments in the earth. But first judgment must begin from the house of the Lord; there is coming a separation in the body of Christ, all those building their own little churches and kingdom will come down, their churches will be empty. This is our inheritance and privilege.
We have authority over sickness, over spiritual oppression, over bondages, over death, and over Hell, that is right we have authority over hades, that authority has been delegated to us.
We have authority over demon spirits operating on the earth, and over the principalities and powers occupying the heavenly places right above the earth. Jesus has the keys for all of it, and he will give them to us when we reach maturity, attaining the stature of Jesus Christ.
It is only through the impartation of our inheritance that we overcome the limitations of the human nature. We do not naturally have the wisdom to do what God has called us to do. But He becomes our wisdom; it is part of the inheritance.
To fulfill our destiny, we must be in tune with our inheritance. Our inheritance is the answer to everything that is wrong in us. Our inheritance is how we change. Our inheritance is in the throne room, in the storehouse. In the storehouse are the keys of how to get answers to our prayers.
Through our inheritance we have access to all things that pertain to life and godliness, to all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. The storehouse is full of everything we need; it is a perfect present provision for every need.
We are the only one that can close the door by not pressing into the fullness of Jesus Christ.
Paul said, to me, this grace was given the very least of all saints, to preach to the Gentiles, preaching by revelation is a part of our inheritance.
Right now, there are principalities, through the power that they have over people’s minds, they are ruling our cities. It is our inheritance, to bring these principalities down.
They are aware of the storehouse, what is at our disposal, but if we never appropriate it, they can remain working in secret. They have deceived the church at large through false doctrines taught by man. They do not want us to come into our inheritance. We must learn how to walk in the authority that is a part of our inheritance. But we cannot do this unless we forsake all and be 100% submissive to the Lord. Most Christians will never pay the price, they don’t even know the price.
Part of our inheritance is the wisdom of God that we are going to release into the earth, and it is going to be revealed to the principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of the world who are usurping our thrones in the heavenly places.
Satan has been deceiving people for thousands of years, but through taking our seats in the heavenly places in Christ and through the gifts of the Spirit here on earth confirming the wisdom of the word we speak; we will begin to make a difference in the earth. This is all part of our inheritance.
We have a bold confident access into the provision of the Lord to accomplish His will upon the earth. We have an open door. We close the door through our human unbelief or self-condemnation. It is deep within us, down in our subconscious without our even knowing it.
Once the Lord reveals to us what is ours, then we must get out of ourselves into the Spirit, where we have enough boldness to take authority over the situations and circumstances that are working against the kingdom of God.
We must identify with the provision not only in our mind but in our spirit. When it is just in our mind then through self will we con ourselves into thinking that we believe.
But faith is a thing of our spirit. But when the first adverse circumstance comes along, we get discouraged and feel the self becoming despondent. We are still living by the inspiration of the moment. The word of God inspires us and circumstances discourage us.
When we are coming against evil spirits, they only listen to authority. When the word is in our spirit we never give up and we give the enemy no choice, he has to obey the word of God in our mouth. We keep speaking in His name, no matter how long it takes. Evil spirits must obey us. It is through faith and patience that we inherit the promises of the Lord. We give them no choice. The Rulers of this age are coming down. The memory of them will be blotted out. We just need to realize that we are the channel that God is going to use to manifest His authority in the earth.
If the conditioning of our human unbelief were so easy to overcome, if that a little revelation of truth would be enough to see it accomplished, then a lot more people would have broken through to the inheritance of the Lord that they could be walking in. There have only been a few people on the earth who have walked in signs and wonders, and only a few who have ascended into the heavenly places in Christ, the church at large is earth bound.
Only a few have the key. The key was that they had such an intimate relationship, that God would come and visit them because of their faith, and they could enter his realm and visit him. They were not confined to the limitations of the time space realm. In their spirit they were seated in the heavenly places with Christ.
It is when our spirit becomes aware of the conditioning of unbelief that is in our soul, that our consciousness can begin to shift into the heavenly places. We must learn how to practice the presence of the Lord. It is in the atmosphere of the Spirit of God that miracles can occur. Our thinking still responds to the former doubts and fears that our mind has become identified with through our old conditioning.
The provision is set before us, but the provision is Jesus Christ. If we separate it as something separate from Him, we are trying to walk in it without an awareness of the Lord.
Faith works by love. And until we are being moved by the Love of God being shed abroad in our heart our faith is not going to work.
Faith is imparted through God revealing truth to our spirit, it comes by hearing. But it works by love and this love becomes a motivating driving force in our lives.
When the Spirit comes upon us, we are lifted out of our self and we have a different consciousness. When the Spirit of God is upon us the gifts of the Spirit come into manifestation.
There is a lot of conditioning of unbelief that must be taken out of us. The disciples walked with the Lord on a human level for three and a half years and watched Him perform miracles. They even did some when he delegated his authority and sent them out to the cities, He would be coming to, yet Jesus marveled at their unbelief.
It was not till after Pentecost when they learned how to wait upon the Lord and pray that they entered an intimacy with Him in the Spirit that was greater than when He was with them on the natural level.
This unbelief is deeply ingrained in our soul. We must literally get out of ourselves; we do not have to have an out of body experience, but to be so caught up into the Spirit that we are not even aware that we have a body.
Our consciousness has then transcended our awareness of the unbelief that is a part of the human nature. As we learn how to walk in the Spirit, we will recognize the desires of the human nature and not give expression or fulfillment to them.
When Jesus began His ministry, He walked into the temple and said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. If we have a public speaking ministry, we need to stay in our prayer closet and not come out to speak until the Spirit of the Lord is upon us.
When the Spirit of God is upon us, we change into a different person, we have a different awareness. We are more aware of the Presence of God that anything else and it is through this awareness that God moves through us. Our awareness becomes one with Him, so it is not us but Him.
When we are at the doorway of the greater works (at the entrance of the Spirit or kingdom world), we must learn how to also be closed to the enemy, because He will try to attack us in a greater way. This is only a sign that He knows, He is about to experience displacement in the spirit realm he was occupying.
As we learn how to walk in the spirit, we will begin to become conditioned in faith. What we see Jesus do we will do, what we hear Him say we will say. When we walk in the Spirit and begin to be led by the Spirit and He sees that we are faithful, His Spirit will come upon us enabling us to do what He wills.
When His Spirit is upon us, we enter into His consciousness, this is why we can see and hear in the Spirit. Before this we just perceive things in our spirit. When we begin to act upon the intuition of our spirit, the Holy Spirit will come upon us in a greater way.
Jesus walked in an open heaven, it is in this realm where we get words of knowledge and wisdom and we speak them, we begin to see things in the spirit and we speak them or act in accordance with them.
As we begin to learn to live from our spirit instead of our soul, in everything we give thanks, in everything we worship. To walk in His provision is not something we are going to do tomorrow. We must live in the present, all we have to do is to be able to discern in our spirit the unbelief that is in our soul, and then set our focus on the Lord, and keep building ourselves up in the spirit, until we are more aware of God’s Spirit than the remnants of unbelief still in us.
We grow in our conscious awareness of the Spirit of God, and when we learn how to continually worship the Lord, we will experience His Spirit coming upon us.
When we are going to a Spirit filled church that knows how to worship God in spirit and truth, we cannot help experiencing the presence of God in a greater way. When we can experience this we are at the doorway of the supernatural.
As we learn how to overcome the discouragement that is a part of our human nature. As we learn how to overcome the inner warfare, we can begin to enter the outer warfare and see people brought into the Kingdom and forcefully advance it in the earth.
The Lord will work with us and condition us, so that like Joshua and Caleb, we will not be discouraged by the voice of the people. We will not be discouraged by the opposition of the enemy, but our confession is we are well able to take the land, because we wholly follow the Lord.
