William Akehurst, HSWC
BIG IDEA: As a Child of FATHER GOD, we have an inheritance from HIM through JESUS and by the INDWELLING of HOLY SPIRIT. Do you choose to let HOLY SPIRIT lead and direct you to have a new mindset of Righteousness?
SCRIPTURES: John 1:12, Galatians 4:6, Matthew 6:9-13, 1 John 4:7-10, John 3:16, 1 John 4:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, Isaiah 40:28-31, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 42:3, Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 6:33, Isaiah 54:17, Isaiah 55:1, Isaiah 55:10-12, Isaiah 59:19, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 12:31-33, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (John 1:12 NKJV)
And because we are HIS children, GOD has sent the SPIRIT of HIS SON into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6 NLT)
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts (our sins), as we forgive our debtors (those who have sinned against us)
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9b-13)
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL. We are perfected in GOD’s LOVE through the Grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that by believing in HIM, we should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
1 John 4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
REJOICE as we walk in this inheritance.
PRAY – Converse with GOD all the time, giving thanks.
LISTEN and KNOW and OBEY the voice of HOLY SPIRIT
16 Rejoice always, (NO MATTER WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH)
17 pray without ceasing, (CONSTANT CONVERSATION WITH THE LORD)
18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (IN EVERYTHING, NOT JUST THE GOOD, ALSO THE BAD)
19 Do not quench the Spirit. (LEARN THE VOICE OF HOLY SPIRIT, LISTEN AND OBEY)
20 Do not despise prophecies. (JESUS FULFILLED 300 OF THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE PROPHECIES, BUT THERE ARE OTHERS YET TO BE FULFILLED BY HIS RETURN. WHEN YOU HEAR CURRENT DAY PROPHECIES, HOLD THEM, TEST THEM TO SEE IF THEY ARE TRUTH. BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE FALSE PROPHETS, BUT THERE ARE ALSO PROPHETS OF GOD’S TRUTH IN THIS DAY AND AGE)
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. (TEST AND TOSS THE BAD, HOLD ONTO THE GOOD)
22 Abstain from every form of evil. (EVERY FORM, EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF EVIL)
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (AMEN)
24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (ITS NOT WHAT YOU DO, IT’S WHAT HOLY SPIRIT DOES IN AND THROUGH YOU)
RENEWING OUR STRENGTH BY HIS POWER
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
STRENGTHENED AND UPHELD BY JESUS THROUGH FAITH
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
WE MAY BE TESTED TO THE END OF OUR STRENGTH, BUT GOD WILL BRING RECOMPENSE.
Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed He will not break, And smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.
