Wake the faith up

 

12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 

 

 

Qualified = partakers of, enabled you

 

Ever enter into a conversation and someone says… my uncle died and left me an inheritance… and you jump to “what did he leave you”…. uhm… his uncle died. How about starting out with saying “man I am so sorry your uncle died… was he a good man? Were you close to him?”

 

Jesus died… the son of God, holy righteous and perfect… and he died so we can have an inheritance.

I don’t know if you have ever been left an inheritance… but when My grandpa Heckman died He left me something… he knew me well as a 7 year old… he left me a bullwhip. 

 

To get an inheritance someones gotta die - who died?

Jesus, what do we inherit? 

Eternity? yes

Forgiveness? yes

Power? yes

Wisdom? yes… and so much more…. but did we inherit all this JUST for heaven?

NO - WE INHERITED IT FOR THE HERE AND NOW

 

 

My uncle died and left me a bunch of money, but Im not going to spend it until I get to heaven - ? ! ? !

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU… WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US IN HIS INHERITANCE… IS FOR NOW!

 

 

*There are too many Xns waiting to die before cashing in on what God has left you!

 

 

This inheritance is not talking about simply the one we have in heaven… but we are “qualified” to share in his glorious blessing and character here and now. 

His power now

His wisdom now

His healing now

His hope now

NEWS FLASH… I DON’T NEED THOSE IN HEAVEN! 

 

Ive inherited his light, his supernatural kingdom for the here and now… 

 

 

VERSE 12… we live in the kingdom of light

13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 

 

 

Rescued us: GK picture of a father pulling his child to safety into his arms.

Dominion: Spiritual power

Darkness: The spiritual ignorance of brought on by being in sin

 

But again he did not rescue us just to save us, but instead to rescue others and bring the kingdom of light to a darkened world.
