Lord (Romans 6:19-23).

In these verses, Paul is simply communicating that you can-

not get life out of dead stuff! Notice that Paul is referring to the

past as he writes to the Roman Christians, “Just as you used to…

When you were slaves to sin…What benefit did you reap at that

time from the things that you are now ashamed of?” All of those things brought about death because they are things of the flesh. And the

flesh can only deliver death!

Then Paul speaks about the present and the future: “But now

that you have been set free from sin….” Paul indicates that sin is no longer in control of our lives. We are now slaves to God. God has

delivered us into life with Him. We have eternal life. The word

eternal speaks not only of the future, but it also refers to the now; it is now and forevermore.

When we remember this truth, it will set us free. We are free

to move in the power of miracles and signs and wonders. Evi-

dence of this kind of power will provoke us to preach, proclaim,

prophesy, and speak of His redeeming love to lost, hurting, and

pain-filled people. As we unite with God and agree with Him, we

are filled with the Holy Spirit, and we move out under His grace

and power. We then begin to notice that God designed us to expe-

rience life full of His Spirit and to walk in abundance.

Joint Heirs with Christ

It only makes sense that, as brand-new creations, we should

give ourselves to Him. We are His sons and daughters. We are

joint heirs with Christ. As joint heirs with Christ, we get every-

thing that Christ has. The beauty of the bridal paradigm message

is that we have our inheritance, now! The difference between

earthly and heavenly inheritances is that we do not have to wait

for God’s inheritance.

Remember Who You Are

the Beauty of the Bridal

paradigm message is that we have

our inheritance, now!

To receive an earthly inheritance, someone has to die. Christ

has already died; therefore, we get our inheritance now. Christ

has already placed the inheritance in our account. Our inheri-

tance is waiting for us to make a withdrawal. But we will not make

a withdrawal until we understand that we now have the privilege to activate such a withdrawal as sons and daughters of God!

God desires that we occupy every spiritual territory. He

desires that we be occupied with His power, authority, and love.

God desires us to constantly be expanding. This is what Jesus

meant when He taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be

done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10) . A spiritual inheritance makes us more effective and efficient in representing the King

and His kingdom. A spiritual inheritance pulls back the curtain

and reveals what we already have permission to use and to take

possession of the earth. We will discuss this in more detail later.

Do You Agree?

Do you agree that it is possible to go 24 hours without sin-

ning? Jesus did, and He is our perfect illustration of a life full of

the presence of God. Remember that as a man Jesus showed us a

life entirely dependent on His Father.
