Inheritance: God's Plan and Our Mission.

In this exploration of inheritance, we dive deep into the story of Joshua and the Israelites entering the Promised Land. But this isn't just about ancient history - it's a profound metaphor for our own spiritual journey. We learn that God's original plan in Eden, to spread His glory and love throughout the world, continues through Israel and ultimately through Jesus Christ and His church. As believers, we're not just observers but active participants in this divine mission. We're called to be 'co-heirs with Christ,' inheriting not just earthly blessings, but the Kingdom of God itself. This inheritance isn't earned but freely given, highlighting God's incredible grace. The message challenges us to see our lives as part of God's ongoing story, urging us to 'take possession' of our relationship with Jesus and to play our role in expanding God's kingdom. It's a call to action, reminding us that we're chosen for a purpose - to proclaim God's praises and bring His light into the darkness.#Inheritance#GodsPlan#HolyLand#Covenant#Jesus#Kingdom#GreatCommission#Conquest#Redemption#HolySpirit#Church#Israel#AdamAndEve#NewCreation#GraceOfGod#Discipleship#SpiritualWarfare#DivineInheritance#GodsPeople#Salvation

When you take a burning stick out of the fireplace (among others), its fire begins to wane and will eventually go out. Similarly, when a believer forsakes or neglects the assembling of God's people, he begins to lose God's fire in his soul. This enlightening teaching explains why and how fellowshipping with other believers can help keep your soul burning and glowing with the Holy Spirit.

I have Declared part One hundred and forty-five on Battle Lines brings Isaiah's Prophetic Book into the continuation of the deliverance of Judah. Many aspects of this, including Judah's falling away were spoken of by the Lord aforetime. Yet despite the warnings, the people did not heed. Yet now the Lord calls to the people and specially commands them to hear. For now, is the time that they must have ears to hear.  God is leading His people, refining them, and reminding them "I Have Declared." He has already spoken and foretold all.   Go https://linktr.ee/warnradio more info.   I have Declared saith the #Lord. From the beginning it was so. I called and you refused. But yet I declared this from the beginning. No matter what we may do or say, the Lord is not unaware. He knows everything from the beginning and calls to his children. #Jacob had paid the price for their sins and now the seventy years were up. But the message and the #teaching of #Judah continues as the #Prophet addresses the #HouseofJudah in this manner. The result of this will be the #restoration of #Godspeople and a reuniting in the #cityofGod known as #Jerusalem. But all this is a foretaste of the #HeavenlyJerusalem to come.

The name “converts” only appears one time in the Bible for God's people (Isaiah 1:27). However, the revelation attached to that name is deep, awe inspiring and powerful. True believers are in the process of being “converted” from fallen human beings into fully liberated, resurrected, glorified sons of God.

In this time- who your king was is everything- provides protection. Abner is 2nd to ishbosheth, but ish is losing- must make a move. So Abner makes a big move- sleeps with the concubine- power move to get over on him-  Goes to david- make a covenant with me- I'll help you be king- I'll bring isreal. David says- if you bring me back my wife. Goes to the elders of Israel- go to david- tells them the prophetic words. So he goes to David- says- I talked to Benjamin- its all good. Abner goes with his 20 men- They make him a feast- Abner says Ill go gather isreal- . Joab comes back from a raid and the men tell him that abner was there (Abner killed his brother Asahel) . Joab disrespects David- and says that you had your chance to kill him, but you didn't. Joab meets him at the gate to kill him. David hears about it- distances himself from Joab. He mourns over abner- follows the coffin- they weep- they realize that it was joab that killed abner and not davidLet me walk you through this story- Explain it all and then go back (explain story) So what do we focus on? 2 sam 3:17 Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, “In time past you were seeking for David to be king over you. 18 Now then, do it! For the Lord has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David, I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their enemies.' ”Now do it. Abner speaking words he should have spoken to himself, but also to Joab, EldersNow then do it- Quit living for yourself Micah 2:1-2 READ This is the heart of AbnerAbner was completely self seeking in this story- He sleeps with Rizpah to pull a power move on Ishbosheth- He's the one who installed him! Why? V1 Sauls house was weaker and Davids stronger- He knew that he had a limited time to act to secure his place within the new administration- he gets so incensed that Ish. Is afraid of him! (This is narcissistic behavior- its meant to push it on Ish. As the perpetrator- not that Abner did this unrighteous act)He had been talking to the elders, he knew the truth- david was to be king, not ishFrom 10k feet, it appears that Abner has a change of heart- he goes to David- BUT- “make a covenant with ME”…. “I will bring Israel” Abner doenst make kings, GOD does!Proverbs 3:27  Do not withhold good from  those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. (He should have just repented and helped David with no return)Not going to be talking a lot about David today- but he makes the feast- Honorable to do 4 enemy. Shows again- his heart- But he HAD to because of the unification of N/S KingdomAbner goes to the Elders and says ‘Now then do it” for them to make David King Take that advice yourself Abner! You make David King! Quit with your negotiations and self-seeking behavior. Quit vying for influence and position. SUBMIT TO HIS LEADERSHIPSame as the disciples in NT- Whats in it for ME? (Luke 9, mk 9, mt 18- Least- Like a Child)Posturing, scheming, conniving, are not what God intends for his people. David is a Christ figure (Son of David). Ultimate king and authority and Abner REFUSES to submitWhat does it mean to you?You cant live for Jesus and yourself at the same time. This is a constant theme in preaching because it's a constant theme in the Bible. OT stories of Baal worship, idol worship, Its all self seeking- because they wanted to control their Gods, not be controlled by GodsPeople set limits in their relationship with God. “I'll serve you until this____) and then they stop serving God, because there is a demand they don't want to meet.  Death to self is keyPhilippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.Abner was not doing this. He was not esteeming David.
