Got my inheritance? Do you?

  

    When will the church, God's people take their inheritance?  Most are waiting for heaven. But, my friend, heaven, as wonderful as it is, is only a place.  God is our portion.  God is our salvation and like a gospel song of some years ago said, "Jesus will be what makes it heaven for me".  The heart of our salvation is God. He is my well of living water.  He is life eternal.  He is my joy, my song, my Father, my Friend.  If you are waiting for heaven to get your inheritance, shame on you.  We have the "earnest" right before us. The Holy Ghost is the earnest of our salvation otherwise known as God.  

     Gonna wait until you get to the place?  Don't do it....get your inheritance now.  Your inheritance is already more than you can handle.  When you get it, it overflows out of you like rivers of living water.  When you get it, you can taste the powers of the world to come. When you get it, you can experience the joy of heaven, the very place you are going, right now.  When you draw on your inheritance, the glory of the Lord comes down on you like a weighty blanket. When you get it, you then will know what the Apostle Paul was praying about when he prayed "that I may know Him in the power of His resurrection".  My friend, the power of His resurrection was the earnest of your inheritance, the awesome Holy Ghost.  When you get it, every now and then, it will quicken you with a tiny flicker of resurrection power and you will want to start running, jumping, shouting, laughing, crying, singing, dancing and otherwise expressing radical joy for who it is you know and what it is you have been given.
