Our Inheritance

I have been spending more time reading my Bible lately. And, its really refreshing. I've been learning so much. One thing that I am actually a bit embarrassed that I never really understood was that when Jesus died on the cross his will or inheritance became ours. This seems like a simple point for most Christians. But, the reality of this hit me yesterday. It means that when Jesus died he gave me everything in his will and testament. It is like when a relative dies and all of sudden you have money or rings or things that you didn't expect to have. With Jesus, that means that I have forgiveness, acceptance, healing, goodness, love, all things that are good. I cannot believe that. I'm given it period. There is no bargaining, there is no asking. It is given to me. Isn't that incredible? It was something I never understood. I would think that I would have to pray really hard for healing or for forgiveness. But, the reality is that it is here and now. I just have to walk in it. I can claim these things for my life. I can claim health, health of my children and family, freedom from sinning, forgiveness for my wrongs and those wrongs against me. These things belong to me because of God. These things belong to you because of God.

So, if you feel like you have been waiting for these things. Wait no longer. They are yours, promised by Jesus. Do not be afraid to walk in them. They belong to you because they have been given to you. When you pray for healing, believe that it needs to be claimed. It you are struggling to forgive, claim it in Jesus' name. You see, God is a generous Father. He is not sitting in heaven deciding who to give goodness to. No, he has given it to all who believe in Jesus. It belongs to you. It is your choice to use it or store it.
