When you think of “inheritance” what comes to mind?
For some reason, I think of a wealthy person who dies and everything that belongs to them gets passed down to blood relatives as a gift. It’s theirs and they take it. Right?
I’m currently taking a Dream Course and in passing Steven Maddox told a story about all his life God had been pointing him to work in film and be a writer and he kept denying it. Not believing that was his identity. Not believing that was for him. One day at church a man even came up to him and said he felt led by God to gift him this box FULL of nice camera equipment, like lots of it, expensive stuff, and he thought “this isn’t for me.” So he gave it away. HE GAVE IT AWAY to someone else! Because he didn’t think “it was for him”
He gave away his “inheritance”, something God wanted him to have for free because He didn’t think it was for him…
Hang with me, this lines up too perfectly with this song my husband and I have had on repeat for a couple of months and I shared inside LEADING LADIES last week as we had a time of soaking, journaling, and hearing from the Lord on their partnership with HIm in their calling this month. Calling= the work they do to meet the needs of others. Here are some of the lyrics below and then I’ll explain. It’s called SOUND MIND by Melissa Helser, you should definitely take a listen… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVkwoi2ARhM
There are sooooooooo many takeaways and things we could discuss from these lyrics but for today here’s where we are headed. 2 Timothy 1:7 is a fairly common verse. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you power, love, and a SOUND MIND.” You’ve probably heard it multiple times, but what does SOUND MIND really mean? Well, I looked it up and about peed my pants!!!
It comes from the Greek Word soprano, a compound word of sodzo and phreneo.
sodzo- meaning saved or delivered. (on the verge of death but then was revived and resuscitated because new life was breathed into him) Something that is delivered, recused, revived, salvaged, protected, and is now safe and secure.
phrenoeo- intelligence or total frame of thinking including rationale, logic and emotions. Every part of the human mind, including all the processes that are engaged in making the mind function and come to conclusions.
So think about those two definitions in light of fear. When we are operating in or under fear what does that do to every single part of us? What does that make us come into agreement with? How does that affect every single thought, feeling, action, decision, and result in our life?
Now let’s take this back to inheritance. What’s been given to you, that is yours? It is NOT fear. It is power, love, and a SOUND MIND. Are you giving that way because you “don’t think you deserve it”?! So much of bringing heaven to earth and partnering in our authority in Jesus comes in our calling and stewarding that well starts with AGREEMENT and IDENTITY! Your IDENTITY in Jesus' name is POWER, LOVE, and SOUND MIND. Your IDENTITY is BLESSED. Your IDENTITY is just something you have to take and stop giving away because you don’t think it is for you. IT'S FOR YOU!
