How have you received it?

Galatians 4:5 KJV — To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

The word receive means to welcome, in full, as a host.

Have you fully received your adoption as a son of God?

Have you given it a warm reception and allowed this adoption to fully occupy every facet of your life…where your home becomes His home?

Have you allowed your new identity to take over the old identity?

How have you received your adoption as a son of God?

Let the dead bury their dead

Matthew 8:22 KJV — But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Let them. Don’t stop them. Don’t try to change their mind.

Your job is merely to follow Jesus.

As you commit yourself daily to the Author of Life, your light will draw those with eyes to see, and be shunned by those who’ve hardened their heart against it.

Discerning the hearts is a job for the Word, not you.

Follow life, follow Jesus…and let the dead bury their dead.

God’s hands and feet

Nehemiah 6:15 KJV — So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

God created everything in less than a week. So rebuilding the wall in less than 8 weeks through Nehemiah is nothing.

All God needs is someone to be His hands and feet for the great exploits He has in mind.

Will you let Him use yours?

Nothing to do with you

Deuteronomy 10:15 KJV — Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

The basis of the Covenant – old or new – is nothing to do with you.

It was established before you got here, will continue long after you’re gone, and your performance will not alter its nature.

When you cooperate with the Covenant, you benefit from it.

When you neglect it or ignore it, you experience a life that shows the Covenant has nothing to do with you.

Dead men and debt collectors

Romans 6:7 KJV — For he that is dead is freed from sin.

You can’t collect money from somebody who is already dead.

Every time the symptoms of sickness or poverty or loneliness etc show up in your life, they are debt collectors trying to collect on money demanded by the flesh.

And when that happens, just agree with the Word: I’m dead and my life is hidden in Christ in God.

An encouragement from the Holy Spirit

John 16:10 KJV — Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

There’s nothing wrong with your faith in the area of finances. Finances are the least use of your faith, and if you can’t trust God in the lesser things, you can’t trust Him in the greater things. But you have trusted Him in the greater things and seen lives changed through you trusting God. And you do trust God in the area of finances, despite great abundance not appearing to manifest. Relax. There’s nothing wrong with you. There’s nothing you need to do or be to fix your faith. Your faith is fine. You have the measure of faith. Provision is a Kingdom matter and its already taken care of. God loves you, God likes you, God delights in you and God is leading you. He’s up to something specific and precise. But rest in the confidence that there’s nothing wrong with you. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. God is for you, God is proud of you and God is bringing you into something so amazing it will blow your mind.

More than enough in the Kingdom

Luke 9:17 KJV — And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

Jesus wasn’t afraid of the need. That’s because He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there’s more than enough in the Kingdom.
