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?
