GOD'S HEREDITY

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

…God’s “heredity” within us will always conquer the world outside us. In fact, this faith of ours is the only way in which the world has been conquered. For who could ever be said to conquer the world, in the true sense, except the man who really believes that Jesus is God’s Son? – 1 John 5:4-5 (PH)

Peterson translates it this way.

Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways.

GOD begotten?

GOD’S heredity?

What is John getting at?

Simply this. 

If you have JESUS in your heart and you do if you have CLAIMED Him to be Son of GOD, (Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." – Romans 10:13 NIV) then the FAITH of Christ is at SPIRIT-WORK within you.

And that my friends equates to CONQUERING faith!

Regardless of what you or I may face in the natural, we are CONQUERORS because of HIS SPIRIT dwelling deeply within us! (Romans 8:37)

So

…be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] – John 16:33 (MSG)

Catch that?  My “victory abiding”

Jesus' victory over death, sin, Satan and the world ABIDES in those who have claimed Him and allowed Him into our hearts.

So we can WALK courageously into whatever we face today.  

Our Spirits are linked with Christ!  

That Spirit is fearless.  

That Spirit is calm cool and collected under pressure.  

That Spirit knows it is provided for and loved beyond measure.

The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death. Romans 8:2 (MSG)

We CAN BE undaunted.

We may experience some set backs, we might.  We may experience some challenging circumstances and struggles.  We may even get upended by new expectations, new demands and new uncertainties.  But we can remain UNDAUNTED because of the Spirit of Christ dwelling deep within us.

God is there, ready to help; I’m fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me? Hebrews 13:6 (MSG)

So be filled with joy today my friends.  CHRIST’S Spirit is alive and working in, with and through you today.  Your lineage assures you peace, power and direction!  

It assures you hope, possibility and life!

When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s! Romans 8:11 (MSG)

So nothing or no one can gain the upper hand on you today.

Nothing.  

You are GOD’S begotten! Embrace your heritage!

Embrace the power of the SPIRIT coursing inside of you!

Take on today with confidence and assurance!

I love you all
