A Matter Of Spirit

As an heir of God, you have a rich inheritance. All the blessings of your heavenly Father are yours!

May be sometimes or always we ask this question to God: “Well, if it’s true that I am an heir of God because I’m His son, then why am I still not seeing the blessings?”

The Lord said, “It’s a matter of spirit.” Then, He pointed Romans 8:15, NIV to us—“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” He was telling me that walking in His blessings has to do with having a spirit of sonship.

How does the spirit of sonship operate? By the cry, “Abba, Father!” The Holy Spirit left the word Abba, meaning “Daddy” or “Papa,” untranslated in Romans 8:15 so that we will know that God wants us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Seeing God as Daddy and calling Him “Daddy” or “Papa” removes any distance and breaks down every barrier between you and God. It brings you into an intimate relationship with God and that’s how the spirit of sonship operates.

So beloved, have a spirit of sonship. Don’t see God as an impersonal, distant being who doesn’t really care how you feel. He isn’t just Almighty God, He is also your Daddy! Have this sense of intimacy with Him all the time and start to walk in a greater measure of your Daddy’s blessings! Galatians 4:4-5 is saying….

Blessings!!!
