We have received a DOUBLE-PORTION ANOINTING of God’s Spirit. We are heirs of God!
Beloved, it is our inheritance and legally belongs to us! But until we RECEIVE IT AND ACT on God’s promises, we will never be able to take possession of it!
Through the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we have become sons of the living God, and are legal heirs to ALL THAT THE FATHER HAS!
Just as Paul told the Romans:
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:15
The Spirit which we have received … Who lives within us, bears witness that we are children of God. And, as His children, we are HIS LEGAL HEIRS!
Paul continued by saying:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans 8:17
He told the Galatians:
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Galatians 4:6-7, emphasis added
BY HIS SPIRIT within us, we are no longer bondservants without privileges or legal rights, but we have FULL LEGAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES as sons of God to our inheritance of all that the Father has!
A DOUBLE-PORTION ANOINTING of His Spirit is part of our spiritual inheritance. We don’t have to plead or beg for it … it’s already ours!
Knowing this, we must come BOLDLY before God, as Elisha did in asking for a double-portion anointing of God’s Spirit that was upon Elijah, and ask Him to release a double-portion anointing of His Spirit into our lives.
This week, I invite you to reflect on what it means to be heirs of God … knowing now that you have always been one of them! As part of His family, what are we called to do in service for Him as well as to one another? It may not be easy, but for Him, it is worth it!
