Possessing our inheritance
Pastor Bracken
Eph 3:1 This is why I, Paul, am in jail
for Christ, having taken up the cause of you outsiders, so-called.
Eph 3:2 I take it that you're familiar
with the part I was given in God's plan for including everybody.
Eph 3:3 I got the inside story on this
from God himself, as I just wrote you in brief.
Eph 3:4 As you read over what I have
written to you, you'll be able to see for yourselves into the mystery of
Christ.
Eph 3:5 None of our ancestors understood
this. Only in our time has it been made clear by God's Spirit through his holy
apostles and prophets of this new order.
Eph 3:6 The mystery is that people who
have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what
I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God.
They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message
is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the board.
Eph 3:11 All this is proceeding along
lines planned all along by God and then executed in Christ Jesus.
Col 1:12 thanking the Father who makes us
strong enough to take part in everything bright and beautiful that he has for
us.
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace to you many
times over as you deepen in your experience with God and Jesus, our Master.
2Pe 1:3 Everything that goes into a life
of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know,
personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation
we ever received!
2Pe 1:4 We were also given absolutely
terrific promises to pass on to you--your tickets to participation in the life
of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.
Act 26:16 But now, up on
your feet--I have a job for you. I've handpicked you to be a servant and
witness to what's happened today, and to what I am going to show you.
Act 26:17 "'I'm sending you off
Act 26:18 to open the eyes of the
outsiders so they can see the difference between dark and light, and choose
light, see the difference between Satan and God, and choose God. I'm sending
you off to present my offer of sins forgiven, and a place in the family,
inviting them into the company of those who begin real living by believing in
me.'
Act 20:32 "Now I'm turning you over
to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants
you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of
holy friends.
Rom 8:16 God's Spirit touches our spirits
and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are:
Father and children.
Rom 8:17 And we know we are going to get
what's coming to us--an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what
Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're
certainly going to go through the good times with him!
Gal 3:29 Also, since you are Christ's
family, then you are Abraham's famous "descendant," heirs according
to the covenant promises.
Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God
has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba!
Father!"
Gal 4:7 So you are no longer a slave,
but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Rom 4:13 For the promise to Abraham and
his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law
but through the righteousness of faith. 1Co 2:9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has
seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for
those who love him"—
1Co 2:10 these things God has revealed to
us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of
God.
1Co 2:11 For who knows a person's
thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one
comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received not the
spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand
the things freely given us by God.
1Co 10:11 Now these things happened to
them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the
end of the ages has come.
In the old testament Canaan is a type of inheritance
today.
They had a promised land - we have a land of promises
they were lead by Joshua we are lead by Jesus

Jos 14:6 Then the
people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenizzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of
God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you and me.
Jos 14:7 I was forty years old when Moses
the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I
brought him word again as it was in my heart.
Jos 14:8 But my brothers who went up with
me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the LORD my God.
Jos 14:9 And Moses swore on that day,
saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance
for you and your children forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my
God.'
Jos 14:10 And now, behold, the LORD has
kept me alive, just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the
LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. And now,
behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.
Jos 14:11 I am still as strong today as I
was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then,
for war and for going and coming.
Jos 14:12 So now give me this hill country
of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim
were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with
me, and I shall drive them out just as the LORD said."
Jos 14:13 Then Joshua blessed him, and he
gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Jos 14:14 Therefore Hebron became the
inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he
wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
Possessing our inheritance part 2 Pastor Bracken
It's up to us to set in motion what
God has for us!
Eph 1:11
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined
according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel
of his will,
Act 20:32 And now I commend you to God and to the word
of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance
among all those who are sanctified.
1Co 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an
example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the
ages has come.
Jos 14:6 Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at
Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You
know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you
and me.

yet I wholly followed the LORD my God.

has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children forever, because
you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

just as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the LORD spoke this

Jos 14:13 Then Joshua blessed him, and he gave Hebron
to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Jos 14:14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly
followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
4 Truths Concerning Caleb's Life
1. The spirit of Dominion-Num 13:2 "Send men to
spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel. From
each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a chief among
them."
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the
heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth."
Eph 2:5
even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Psa 8:4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and
the son of man that you care for him?
Psa 8:5
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and
crowned him with glory and honor.
Psa 8:6
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put
all things under his feet,
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to
me.
1Jn 4:17
By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for
the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
God want us on a quest to become all he has for
us
You Release authority through your speech!
2. The spirit of Declaration- Num 14:24 But
my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully,
I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall
possess it.
WE all have to make some changes in life to
possess and walk in our inheritance
2Co 4:13
Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been
written, "I believed, and so I spoke," we also believe, and so we
also speak,
Num 13:30 But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and
said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to
overcome it."

The spirit of demonstration
Num 24:14 And now, behold, I am going to my people.
Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter

We all have to make some changes in life to

2Co 4:13
Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been

also speak,
Num 13:30 But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and

The spirit of declaration say's what God says in
a difficult situation

know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Kadesh-barnea concerning you
and me. (7) I was forty years old when Moses the servant
of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought him

That Mountain represented 2 things
1. What God had promised
2. That enemies had his territory- his stuff
The spirit of demonstration is not based on what
you want
Rom 8:32 ESV He who did not spare his own Son but gave him
up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
You are going to have capture your inheritance-
do it!

the diligent makes rich.
Pro 12:24 ESV The hand of the diligent will rule, while the
