Every week I feel as though I am learning stuff from such a different perspective. The Word of God is just pouring out to me and I am so grateful for that. I feel as though I owe the table an apology for Monday, I was distracted with pain and felt that I completely was trying to get through on my own strength. I hope Beth Moore was able to speak God’s word to each of you.
Session Four Recap:
· An inheritance must be possessed or it’s not an inheritance at all
· We cannot possess something without acting on it.
· What would happen if we started taking God up on His promises?
· Every generation is called to inherit their land
· Joshua was not the deliver/the savior. Yahweh was!!1 You can’t save anyone.
· In His wisdom, God requires His Children to exercise the will and action to deliberately take what He graciously gives
· God is developing the muscle in us through going to get it that it’s going to take for us to keep it.
· If we don’t develop the muscle, we won’t know how to hang on to it
· Hold unswervingly to the truth you know about God. Your enemy is going to try and convince you that he’s going to hit you head on. He does not have the authority. (Beth Moore had us think about a car and playing chicken. You are driving straight at the enemy- don’t go left or right, don’t swerve out of the way. Go full speed ahead directly at him and he will be the one to play chicken just before you would have slammed into him) I just love this!!! I think we are always trying to dodge the devil but we should be trying to run him over with God in control of our lives!!
· Sometimes God can speak a promise over us that is for our family line.
· The Lord drove the nations out before the Israelites because of their wickedness.
· Our land of promise is where we stand and walk and serve at full optimum when we’re doing what God has called us to do. It’s something we cannot do on our own volition. It can only be revealed to us when we are operating in the Spirit.
· We are going to be what we meditate on- the result of how we think
· We have been told to make God famous in our land
· We, too, will have to press through our fear to possess the land of promise
· If we are going to be successful in what God has called us to do, it’s going to be becuae we learned how to think
· The Hebrews often meditated out loud “God is our constant source of stability”
· There is more power in the spoken word than in the thought word
· The enemy cannot read what’s in your head, but he is forced to hear what comes out your mouth
· We can set out to serve but our lives must be characterized by a godly pursuit to serve God and man in order to be called a servant of the Lord.Memory Verses for this week:
" Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" Hebrews 13:6
During your quite time this week meditate and journal on Psalm 16
Read it here in the NLT, but please use your own favorite version.
Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.
I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!
Every good thing I have comes from you.”
The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.
I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.
Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.
The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever!!
Scriptures to read this week:
1 Chronicles 28:20 Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm for God can be trusted to keep his promises!
Isaiah 33:6 The Lord is my sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
Genesis 15:6 Believe the Lord, and it will be counted to me as righteous because of my faith.
1 Corinthians 2:9 No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.

The Inheritance by Beth Moore Session 3 Notes
Session 3: The Inheritance
Hi Ladies,
Again Beth Moore has brought more insight and revelation of God’s word to us. I am really loving this study and the spiritual growth it is providing. I thought last night’s session was wonderful and our discussion time was great. I encourage each of you to bring up what is on your hearts that evening. I loved that we not only got to talk about what we are learning at the moment, but what we are facing in our day to day lives (whether it is on topic or not)
· The three elements found in all divine inheritance in Scripture are:
o Presence
o People
o Property
· Part of the uniqueness of divine inheritance falls is the first two categories. God promises that as part of your inheritance, you also get Him
· Typically, you do not get your benefactor and your inheritance, too, as they are usually deceased. Normally, it’s in someone else’s absence that we receive inheritance. Not with God. His presence is His abundance.
· Every good gift God gives is meant to be · In God’s agenda, every good gift He provides always involves people. We will never be singular heirs.
· You and I are rich in Christ Jesus
· What good is an inheritance if you don’t use it?
· We have to learn to possess what God has given us. We have to figure out what God has done for us; what has been given to us; what has been entrusted to us, and how we are going to posses it as the greatest reality in our lives
· When we start getting possessive, it’s time to start giving it away.
· You are never left to fate. Luck has no part in your life. Everything has either happened as a result of the perfect will of God or the permissive will of God
· The human soul was formed to feel liberty and to freely love
· Do not let the enemy convince you that you cannot change relationally
· God has assigned a spiritual field to every single person in Christ where we are to serve and bring forth harvest.
· You will never stand out alone in your field because people are a part of our inheritance
· Your destiny is dependent on the people who are coming alongside of you to fulfill it with you
· We are to be deliberate with what God has given to us.
·
1. Of the Three things that we inherit: Presence, People and Property; which one do you feel you are most missing?
2. Part of the inheritance of property is inheriting a work to do. Think about how this works out in your life. What work has the Lord called you to do?
Scriptures for the week to Study:
Deut 15:4 There should be no poor among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you.
Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go!

Suggested verses for memory and meditation
Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work at it with your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

Suggested verses for memory and meditation
Colossians 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work at it with your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
2Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. All this from God who reconciled us to himself thru Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Matthew 28:18-20 "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.
Psalm 9:1 "I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High."
In your prayer time ask the Lord to reveal to you if you have any possessive tendencies

The Inheritance by Beth Moore Session 2 Notes
Hi Ladies,
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing last night’s teaching was. I am sure most of us know the story of Abram/Abraham and have studied the sacrifice of Isaac as a burnt offering more times than we can recall. I know I have. But to see how Beth Moore laid this story out and to see what a powerful message this Scripture really tells blows my mind. I wish all of you could have been there to hear these words of wisdom from her, so I will try my best to convey the message. Beth Moore describes the parallel between God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering as God sacrificing his one and only son for the world. This was so powerful and mind blowing to me. The story of Abraham was meant to be told throughout time as a prophetic event of what was to happen in the future, it is the gospel message.
· We have received the full rights of sonship because we are co-heir with Jesus Christ.
· If we are to understand what it is to be an heir, we have to go all the way back to the beginning to the first place it’s mentioned, ABRAHAM, and see what we’re going to learn there.
· If you want a fresh God-work in your life, sometimes you have to let go of where you’ve been and move forward with God
· The Heart of the gospel message is that God has chosen to bless you.
· The first gospel sermon in Scripture:
o Genesis 12:1-3 “Part 1” – The call of Abram
o Genesis 15:1-7 “Part 2”- God’s Covenant with Abram
o Genesis 11:1-3 “Part 3” Abraham Tested
· The first time in Scripture the Word of the Lord came to a person was in the context of God cutting covenant with Abram
· When man is about to behold the Glory of God, He is wrapped in dark clouds so we can bear it. Once He is revealed all of those who are not believers will begin to mourn. That is how majestic and marvelous He is.
· God Himself is our very GREAT REWARD
· What we truly believe about God concerning this concept will play out in every single aspect of our lives
· When you are God’s child, to have something is to have the capacity to give something. He created us to give to us.
· The footprints of the enemy- continue to be fear and shame
· Satan’s influence:
o Keep your cards folded
o Keep your game on
o If you have a problem, hide it
o If you have an addiction, hide it
o If you have a stronghold of any kind, hide it
o If you have fear, hide it
o If you have a need, hide it
o If you have a question, hide it
· You are only as sick as your secrets. Bring them into the Light
· There is no way to satiate the cavern within us
· Your test will always have YOUR NAME on it (not your husband’s, not your kids, not your friends, not your bosses)
· He is the provider, we are the possessors
· Both dispensations (Old Testament and New Testament) begin with the gospel. The Old Testament concept of inheritance began with the gospel preached in advance. The New Testament concept of inheritance began with the gospel preached in real time
· It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed in you." So those now who live by faith are blessed along with Abraham, who lived by faith—this is no new doctrine! And that means that anyone who tries to live by his own effort, independent of God, is doomed to failure.
Questions to consider/ to really dig deep and find your answers:
1. Do you see God as a giver or a taker? Why?
2. Do you believe that God wants to bless you and through you, to bless others?
3. How will what I believe about God play out in every part of my life?
Scriptures to Memorize:
1. Our verse for this semester is Psalm 16:5-6 this one is key to memorize. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places, indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
2. Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect. The Lord’s word is flawless, He shields all who will take refuge in Him
3. Isaiah 45:2 I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4. John 14:18 Jesus said, I will not leave you desolate. I will come to you
5. Philippians 4:4-6 rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
I have so many notes that I don’t have a lot of time to type them out so I will attach them in a pdf . (these are the notes from the listening guide, as well as my notes I took in addition to what her fill in the blanks were)
I saw this prayer and thought I would share this with you all. I think this is a great prayer to pray.
Heavenly Father, teach me how to ground my life on you. You are the author of my life and restorer of my brokenness. Help me to trust you alone. To rely on you and seek you in every storm that comes across my path. You are always there to take my hand and lead me across the rocky rivers and I thank you for the opportunity you so willingly give. Lord, you are the only ROCK who will stand forever against any storm!! With you and only with you, there is POWER to overcome. Amen

The Inheritance by Beth Moore Session 1 Notes
We are starting The Inheritance by Beth Moore this semester at Soul Sisters and I am really excited. I think Beth is an amazing deliverer of God's word. She has a way of helping the Words of the Bible to jump off the pages and help you understand them in a way you never saw before. I am so thankful to God that HE gifts speakers to help us understand and gain other perspectives of His Word.
I love that we are learning how the lines have fallen in pleasant places, indeed I have a beautiful Inheritance....like Inheriting God's presence isn't enough.
Here are notes from Session 1
Session One
This can be the year that changes our lives
The more we grown in Christ, the more He entrusts to us the power and abilities to live out the rights of sonship and daughtership
We have rights as children of God. We need to know what they are and begin exercising them
Trade in your shattered dreams for undeniable riches
You do not have a big enough dream to match what God has for you
When those of us who are in Christ come upon difficult circumstances that nearly overwhelm us and break us, we get to do it to the great glory of our God and King, and he gets to work it to our good. IT is a promise in His Word. He can take it and turn it around and make it the best year of our lives
We share the same inheritance that Christ does
Our purpose is not just to be good. We are called to believe God.
Boredom is dangerous!!
“Boredom is a desire for desires” Leo Tolstoy
If you are boring or if you are bored, you are living outside the will of God
Control freaks do not have fun
It’s only a wild ride if someone else is driving.
Discussion Questions:
1. What struck you most out of the first session?
2. What do you need to let go of in order to live the life God has for you?
Week One Memory Verse:
Psalm 16:5-6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
This is the theme verse of the entire semester. If you don’t memorize any other verse this semester, make sure you bind this one in your heart.
Ephesians 1:18-19 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.”
Romans 8:16-17 “The spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory”
Galatians 3:28-29 There is Neither Jew no Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Week One Scriptures:
Psalm 16:5-6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed; I have a beautiful inheritance.
Romans 8:9 I am controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit.

1 Chronicles 29:11,12
I love that we are learning how the lines have fallen in pleasant places, indeed I have a beautiful Inheritance....like Inheriting God's presence isn't enough.
Here are notes from Session 1
Session One
This can be the year that changes our lives
The more we grown in Christ, the more He entrusts to us the power and abilities to live out the rights of sonship and daughtership
We have rights as children of God. We need to know what they are and begin exercising them
Trade in your shattered dreams for undeniable riches
You do not have a big enough dream to match what God has for you
When those of us who are in Christ come upon difficult circumstances that nearly overwhelm us and break us, we get to do it to the great glory of our God and King, and he gets to work it to our good. IT is a promise in His Word. He can take it and turn it around and make it the best year of our lives
We share the same inheritance that Christ does
Our purpose is not just to be good. We are called to believe God.
Boredom is dangerous!!
“Boredom is a desire for desires” Leo Tolstoy
If you are boring or if you are bored, you are living outside the will of God
Control freaks do not have fun
It’s only a wild ride if someone else is driving.
Discussion Questions:
1. What struck you most out of the first session?
2. What do you need to let go of in order to live the life God has for you?
Week One Memory Verse:
Psalm 16:5-6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
This is the theme verse of the entire semester. If you don’t memorize any other verse this semester, make sure you bind this one in your heart.
Ephesians 1:18-19 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.”
Romans 8:16-17 “The spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory”
Galatians 3:28-29 There is Neither Jew no Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
