As a child going outside in the wintertime, my mother would dress me up in a sweater, scarf, snowsuit, and wrapped inside layers of insulation. It was great, but there was one problem. I was so insulated, that even though I was outside, I was still inside, hermetically sealed. So as believers, we tend to have an insulation problem. We insulate ourselves against the outside world. But the Great Commission is outside, beyond the church building. The people outside are the ones who need salvation. You have to go out for the kingdom to grow. Most new people are brought into a congregation by new members, not by the old members. The old tend to get insulated, inside Christian relationships. They don’t touch the outside anymore, so comfortable in church culture. We need to get out. That can’t happen by only connecting with other believers. It happens when you take away the insulation. Out is where the lost are, where the kingdom grows, where the Lord commanded us to go. It’s where you need to go if you’re going to touch this world. Get uninsulated and get out.

The meek or the humble, they will the world or, or the land they will your ash, say your ash, your rash is the word your ash in Hebrew, which means to inherit.
That’s where you get it. All the meek shall inherit inherit. They shall be heirs.
Now, I want to focus the most of this message on what it means, what it means for you to be an heir of God and what it means to live as an heir.
Look what the Bible says about this. I’ll give you an example. Galatians 3 29.
If you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s Children. You are heirs according to the promise. What that saying?
Stop right there. If you are Messiah’s, if you are born again, if you’re a true born again, believer, you are Abraham’s child, Abraham’s child, that’s radical.
You are the Bible saying you are actually a child of Abraham, not just figuratively, you are actually a child of Abraham in the spirit, the scripture, it links up with a scripture that says once you were, you’re not say you’re born, you’re Italian, you’re, you’re Asian, you’re whatever you, you weren’t born Jewish the Bible says in another scripture, it says once you were separated from the Commonwealth of Israel, but now you are a fellow citizen of what of Israel hooks up with the other scripture.
You are a wild olive branch. Now you are grafted in. So you got all those three things.
Now you are grafted into the olive tree to Israel.
Number two, you are a child of Abraham and number three, you are a citizen of Israel.
That means that more than you are anything else, more than you are Italian or Irish or Swedish or, or uh or from Latin America or from Africa or from Asia.
You are first a child of Abraham. You are a, a spiritual child of Israel. Your citizenship is Israel.
In fact, Paul says you were born of Jerusalem, you’re a child of Abraham. What does that mean?
It means a lot. If you’re a child of Abraham, he says you are an heir just like Isaac was Isaac was the child of Abraham and look what he inherited.
Jacob and Esau were Children, but Esau kind of rejected the inheritance and Jacob strive for the inheritance and look what it meant.
It changed the whole world when you’re a child of Abraham, the in you’re an heir to the promise.
Now it says in Colossians says, giving thanks to the father who has qualified us to share in what the inheritance we are to share in the inheritance of the Saints in light who has qualified us.
Titus three says this. So that being justified by his grace, we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life, we would become heirs of eternal life.
So what’s the thing? We are heirs of the promise? We are heirs of light.
We are heirs of eternal life. We are heirs of Abraham.
That means what the blessings that were given to Abraham in some way relate to all of us.
Not that you are given the land.
Some people take this the wrong way, but spiritually, the blessings of Abraham are to you.
If you are, if you’re his child and you’re an heir, we are heirs of something that is greater than this world.
It’s better than an heir is what’s an heir?
An heir is one who is appointed to receive an inheritance, a blessing, an estate, money possessions, a position.
Something many of most of us will know what that is in some little way.
When if our parents pass on that is you are inheriting something. You are an heir.
What does an heir mean? It means you are appointed to receive something, something you don’t have.
Now you’re an heir to something, someone who is like for someone who is not on the throne but is in line is called an heir to the throne.
They don’t have it yet, but they are going to get it.
An heir is one who is appointed to receive a blessing.
You’re a now you are appointed to receive a blessing that is greater than that.
I remember watching growing up seeing the honeymooners and Ralph Kramden bus driver helps a rich lady.
She dies and leaves him in her will, leaves him her fortune and he gets all excited.
He’s going to be a millionaire, all excited.
He goes to the will, goes to the reading and fortune is the name of her pet bird fortune.
But you, the Bible says, are appointed to receive something better than a fortune, better than a treasure.
See, there are heirs in this world. There are Children of rich people. They call them heirs.
You know, an heiress, an heir to a, an heir to a, to a fortune to an oil fortune to a business fortune.
They don’t have to do anything their whole life.
All they do is receive money and some of them get really messed up because they don’t have to do anything.
You know, they just receive. But you are an heir.
The Bible says, and your inheritance that you have is so much greater than any oil heiress or any heir to any fortune in this world.
You have something you gotta believe that because that’s what the Bible says. It’s far better, far greater.
So the Bible says, so what if you were an heir to a billion dollars?
You might be happy about that for a while. But you are an heir to something greater than that.
And you gotta get that in your spirit. The Bible says you’re an heir. What does it mean?
You can’t be an heir without a will. In order to be an heir, you have to have a will.
The inheritance comes in the will.
Now, technically, if somebody is an heir, they don’t know the will and they don’t claim what’s in the will and, or they don’t accept the will.
They never brought to the will, then maybe they’re a lost relative. They don’t receive the will.
They don’t apply the will. They’re not gonna get blessed with the inheritance.
So you as a child of God are an heir.
But to the, the heir to be an heir, there has to be a will.
What is the will to your inheritance? The will to your inheritance is this, this is the will.
This is the reading. This is the will, this is filled with your inheritance.
So the first key as an heir to God, an heir of the kingdom and of Abraham is that your inheritance comes to the will, your blessings.
Every blessing comes down to you through the will of God.
Now you might think, well, that’s kind of using the same word. It’s two different things.
No, it’s not two different things. What when you say when somebody makes a will, what’s it?
Why is it called a will?
Because it’s their will to give this to somebody when they’re gone, it’s their will to bless somebody.
Well, it’s simply a will means a will. God’s will is to bless you.
God’s will is, it’s just as you have to be in the will to get the inheritance.
Your life has to be in the will of God to get the inheritance and blessing of God.
It means as much as you’re not in the will of God, you’re not in the will of God.
You won’t inherit. You won’t know the blessings and as much as you get your life more and more in the will of God, you’ll be in the will of the inheritance of God to find out how you can receive more of Jonathan’s teachings to receive special free gifts or get in touch.
