We Have Jesus' Spirit Within Us

"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Galatians 4:6-7

It’s not hard for us to say that we are God’s children; actually it’s really easy. But to say that we are now God’s sons and to believe that we are actually heirs of God and that everything He has is now ours, takes faith. And praise God our faith is now Authored and Finished by Jesus, Who knows exactly what it means to be an heir of God! And what does an heir receive? He receives all that the Father has. “And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.” Luke 15:31 An heir receives all that the father has and our Father has far more than we can think of! Our Father has omnipotence, righteousness, love, power, power unspeakable, glory, honor, knowledge, wisdom, faith, light, victory in every situation, ability, and so much more. This is what we are heirs of and these things are only a fraction of what we have as God’s heirs! How awesome is that? Every great and wonderful thing that we praise God for being is ours as well! We are no longer hired hands; we are now the son’s and daughters of God. We are now the heirs of God and to insure that we think this way, God has sent His very Spirit into our hearts to tell us continually who we are in Him. We are ever with God, and all that He has in ours! “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20
