Will of God

Romans 8:15-17 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. 16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 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. (KJV)
 
Strong’s definition for ‘joint-heirs - 4789 sugkleronomos (soong-klay-ron-om'-os); From 4862 and 2818; a co-heir, i.e. (by analogy) participant in common: KJV-- fellow (joint) - heir, heir together, heir with.
 
Along the way home there will be suffering in your walk, but our Lord is right there with you all the way, reminding you of how He was able to overcome any situation that arose. All He is asking is that you spend quality time with Him daily, hearing His word of encouragement so you will not give ear to a spirit of fear. Many desire to be glorified with our Lord to receive their eternal reward and take their rightful place with God; however, few desire to do what it takes here on earth to get there, which at times, can be hard on the flesh.
 
1 Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. (KJV)
 
Christ is in a good place today; however, in order to get seated at the right of God He had to have the right frame of mind to get there. The enemy loves to show the highlight reels of sin; like a movie trailer he tries to talk man out of his inheritance with cheap lusts of the flesh. The problem with that is that the enemy leaves out the part about the consequences; which is, if you decide to attend the screenings, it may leave you out of your inheritance.
 
Ephesians 3:4-7 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. (KJV)
 
You know when you said yes to our Lord you inherited real power in your life. The reason Paul was used by our Lord is because he was able to put the gospel into effect in his own life. Is the power of God having more of an effect and influence on you today, or did you decide to inherit something far inferior?
 
Hebrews 11:8-10 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (KJV)
 
The just shall live by faith, believing more in the unseen realm than the outward one. Abraham was a man of faith and he associated himself with likeminded people. So today, which inheritance has your attention, the inward or the outward?
 
Dearly loved, set your affection on things above, not on the things of this life. God bless and have a prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.
