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.

Galatians 3:26 I am a daughter of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 4:7 Since I am a child of God, I'm also an heiress, with complete access to the inheritance.

Ephesians 2:7 The Lord will show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward me in Christ Jesus.

Our God (as Beth Moore stated- YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A WEALTHY FATHER)
Is Rich in Mercy Ephesians 2:4
Is incomparably rich in range Ephesians 2:7
Is rich in glory Romans 9:23
Is rich in wisdom & knowledge Romans 11:33
Christ Himself is unsearchable riches Ephesians 3:8
He is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor. Everything in Heaven & earth is His. He is exalted as head over all. He is the kingdom. Wealth and honor come from Him. The Riches of God’s Glorious inheritance in the saints is what we are claiming
1 Chronicles 29:11,12
