Take Your Inheritance Now: His Power Is Present

1. Do Not Cast Away Your Confidence

God’s power is already present

The message opens with the declaration that God’s power is present and is always present. Believers are called to live with confidence in what God has provided.

Confidence must be spoken

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 10:35.

“Therefore, do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.”

The speaker explains confidence in terms of freedom of speaking. Believers should express assurance rather than remain silent in doubt, fear, or uncertainty. Speaking confidence includes declaring:

• Who you are in Christ and His righteousness in your life.
• What God has promised.
• The identity He has given you.
• The destiny He has spoken over you.

The speaker emphasizes that there are more promises in God’s Word than there are issues in a believer’s life.

Confidence carries a reward

The phrase “recompense of reward” is explained as payment due or wages due. The sermon connects this reward with continuing to declare confidence in Christ and His promises. Fear, doubt, and unbelief are to be silenced as believers articulate what God’s Word says.

Endurance is necessary

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 10:36.

Endurance is described as patience, steadfastness, constancy, and perseverance. The emphasis is on continuing in obedience and remaining steady after doing God’s will so that the promise may be received.

Drawing back means withdrawing from confidence

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 10:38.

The just are to live by faith. Drawing back is presented as stepping away from an active awareness of righteousness in Christ. This includes becoming timid, withdrawing from confidence, and hesitating to speak what one believes.

Righteousness is a gift through Jesus

Scripture discussed: Romans 5:17–19.

Through Adam’s offense came death and condemnation. Through Christ’s righteous act came the free gift and justification. Through one man’s disobedience many were made sinners; through Christ’s obedience many are made righteous. Those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness are to reign in life through Jesus.

The speaker stresses living in that righteousness rather than merely looking into it. When conviction comes, the response is repentance. She explains that the warning about God having “no pleasure” in drawing back does not mean He stops loving the believer or that the believer is no longer saved.

2. The Blood Makes Believers God’s Dwelling Place

Drawing back affects the outcome

The speaker illustrates willingness through relationships with children or a spouse. Someone may give generously and take extra steps, yet experience a reduction in willingness when the desired response does not come. She uses this to explain her point that casting away confidence reduces the determined outcome. Withdrawing, hesitating, and becoming timid change the believer’s participation in that outcome.

The new covenant brings God’s presence into believers

Under the old covenant, God’s presence was associated with the Most Holy Place. Access was restricted to the priest and required sacrifice. Through Jesus’ finished work, believers become the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. The blood prepares them to be God’s dwelling place.

The blood cleanses the conscience

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 9:14.

The blood cleanses sin and the conscience, removes guilt and condemnation that hinder confidence before God, and establishes the covenant relationship in which the Holy Spirit lives within believers.

Conviction draws a person into God’s presence and His Word. Condemnation pressures a person to withdraw. The enemy’s goal is described as causing believers to draw back.

The blood brings believers near

Scriptures discussed: Ephesians 2:13, 18, 22.

Those who were far away have been brought near by Christ’s blood. Through Him, believers have access to the Father by one Spirit. They are being built together as a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

The Spirit within gives life

Scripture discussed: Romans 8:11.

The Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in believers and gives life to their mortal bodies. The Holy Spirit continually reveals and applies the truth of Christ’s finished work.

The speaker asks whether spiritual growth could be less about obtaining more of God’s presence and more about becoming conscious of and yielding to the One already within. She uses the image of a “spiritual router” to describe receptiveness to His continual speaking.

Choose to shift your focus

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 11:1.

Believers can shift from what they see and feel toward God’s power within and the substance available through faith. This includes standing for territory and recovering territory that has been forfeited. Faith is presented as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

3. Move Into Your Inheritance

Owning a house without moving in

The speaker recounts buying a home approximately 24 years earlier. The owners approached her family even though the house was not for sale. After the purchase, they rented it for five months while waiting for their next place to be ready. During that period, she repeatedly drove past and imagined living there.

She recounts hearing the Holy Spirit say, “They drive by their inheritance and they never move in.” The illustration expresses the danger of admiring what God has provided without living in it.

Live in the fullness of what Christ has given

Scripture discussed: Romans 8:38 and the passage quoted with it.

Nothing can separate believers from God’s love in Christ. Although they can never earn the price Jesus paid, they can live in the fullness of what He has given. The provisions named include righteousness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, identity, destiny, family, church, nations as an inheritance, healing, and financial supply.

Pray boldly for territory

Scripture discussed: Psalm 2:8.

The promise of nations as an inheritance is applied to praying boldly for the city, state, and nation.

Nurture the financial relationship

Scripture discussed: Philippians 4:19.

The speaker teaches that tithing and giving establish a financial relationship with God and His Word. That relationship requires watering, nurturing, intentional attention, and continued enforcement of what God has promised.

The Lord rebukes the devourer

The speaker discusses the Malachi passage about the devourer not destroying the fruit of the ground and the vine bearing fruit. She explains “Lord of hosts” as the Lord of angel armies and describes those armies working against assignments that would devour increase.

The giving declaration

The declaration presented in the sermon includes:

• Bringing tithes and giving into the church’s storehouse.
• Faith Center housing and facilitating God’s assignment.
• The windows of heaven being open over the household and family.
• Receiving the poured-out blessing of the Lord.
• The Lord rebuking the devourer from life, home, finances, and family.
• The fruit of the ground being protected and the vine bearing fruit.
• The Lord and angel armies being on assignment over the territory.

The speaker emphasizes continuing in this declaration with constancy.

Financial breakthrough and the good news

Scripture discussed: Luke 4:18.

The speaker highlights preaching the gospel to the poor alongside healing the brokenhearted, liberty for captives, recovery of sight, and freedom for the oppressed. She presents financial breakthrough as something God desires alongside healing and deliverance.

Do not let a giant dictate life on your territory

Goliath illustrates opposition standing on territory God had promised to His people. Although Israel had promises, Goliath threatened to make them slaves. The speaker applies this to allowing opposition to speak over what God has given. The Holy Spirit brings remembrance of Christ’s work and promises.

4. God Has Multiple Paths of Provision

Do not limit provision to familiar avenues

The speaker names employment, inheritance, savings, retirement accounts, and Social Security as avenues people may depend on. God can bring a new path when an existing avenue closes or changes.

Respond to a detour with openness

Scripture discussed: Psalm 23:3.

The speaker emphasizes the plural word “paths” in God’s leading in paths of righteousness. When an avenue changes, believers are encouraged to remain open to another path rather than move into fear and doubt.

Keep God as the source

The speaker applies this to church finances. Focusing on one giver or one way money has arrived could cause her to cater to that source. She expresses confidence that God has multiple ways to supply the needs of the church, including its parking lot and building.

Three reasons Jesus came

The sermon identifies three purposes:

• To reveal His goodness.
• To destroy the works of the enemy.
• To die and pay for sin.

The speaker connects these purposes with the law of the Spirit of life in Christ overcoming the law of sin and death.

The blood continues to speak

Scripture discussed: Hebrews 12:24.

Jesus is presented as mediator of the new covenant, and His blood speaks better things than Abel’s. The speaker repeats, “My power is present,” and connects this with standing in God-given territory, recovering forfeited territory, shifting out of weariness, stopping the retreat, and returning to confidence in faith.

5. Keep God’s Word in Your Mouth

Covenant Spirit and spoken Word

Scripture discussed: Isaiah 59:21.

The speaker identifies God’s covenant, His Spirit upon His people, and His words in their mouths. His words are not to depart from their mouths or those of their descendants.

Make the Word familiar across generations

The speaker encourages consistency in speaking God’s Word so children recognize what their parents will say. She recalls her father repeatedly asking, “Who’s your source?” The emphasis extends through children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Hope anchors the soul

The speaker discusses the Hebrews passage about hope as an anchor entering within the veil. Hope is described as confident assurance that anchors the soul, remains safe and steadfast, and does not break down under pressure. She connects this with Jesus’ blood and His entrance on behalf of believers.

Confidence rests in the One who obtained redemption

Jesus’ priesthood is unchangeable, His intercession continues, His redemption is complete, and His Spirit dwells in believers. Access to God is established by His blood rather than memories, feelings, or performance.

The enemy uses memories, feelings, and perceived failures to intimidate believers into silence. The speaker emphasizes that God has already blotted out what the enemy continues to bring up.

6. Bring Your Awareness Into Agreement With Christ’s Finished Work

The conscience has been cleansed

Scripture discussed again: Hebrews 9:14.

The speaker asks whether renewing the mind involves the Holy Spirit bringing earthly consciousness into agreement with what Jesus’ blood has already accomplished.

God’s power does not diminish

Jesus’ power flows from who He is rather than surrounding circumstances. His power does not diminish, His life does not cease, and His finished work does not lose effectiveness. Believers can lose awareness of these truths.

The blood establishes a new identity

The speaker teaches that the blood brings believers into a new identity that overcomes sin, shortcomings, weaknesses, failures, and the old identity. She describes believers as having inherited a bloodline greater than the one into which they were naturally born.

Divine provision is already within

Scripture discussed: 2 Peter 1:3 and the continuation quoted in the sermon.

Everything needed for life and godliness has already been deposited through divine power. The speaker emphasizes knowing Him, His goodness, magnificent promises, partnership with the divine nature, and escape from corruption. She describes that escape as being acquitted.

The Word enables believers to continue partaking of what they have received. She again connects this with covenant, Spirit, and God’s words in the mouth.

Christ’s work is greater than natural experience

The sermon acknowledges the impact of natural experiences while emphasizing that what has happened through Jesus is greater. The response is to believe His provision, shift out of old identities, recognize present power in Christ, and become aware of His presence in every situation.

The blood carries authority

Scripture discussed: Revelation 12:11.

The blood is described as more than a symbol, the purchase price bringing believers into covenant, eternal, speaking in the highest court of heaven, and evidence that judgment has been paid. Overcoming is connected with the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony.

7. The Blood Is Evidence That Speaks

Overcoming requires evidence

The speaker quotes, “You do not overcome giants by emotions. You overcome them by evidence.” She identifies Jesus’ blood as that evidence and as a receipt of full deliverance, inheritance, and access. The blood both cleanses and testifies.

The blood is a living witness

The blood is described as declaring freedom, silencing accusers and giants, and breaking legal holds of iniquity.

The blood speaks better things

Scripture discussed again: Hebrews 12:24.

“Better things” is explained as more useful, serviceable, advantageous, and excellent. Abel’s blood cried for vengeance; Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, deliverance, justice, restoration, excellence, and inheritance.

The blood speaks louder than the past

Jesus’ blood speaks louder than failure, guilt, shame, lost time, and defilement. Believers confront opposition in Christ’s righteousness and the declaration of His finished work.

The speaker applies this to claims against family, the mind, identity, the future, destiny, restoration, and healing. Believers are called to hear what the blood declares when past voices attempt to occupy those places.

Fight from the victory already provided

Believers stand from a place of victory and ownership because of what the blood has accomplished. They confront fear, doubt, and contrary reasoning with the Word, the testimony of the blood, and confidence in Christ’s provision.

The speaker describes refusing to join conversations that reinforce fear or unbelief. Her stated choice is agreement with what Jesus’ blood has accomplished.

8. Recognize and Confront the Giants

Emotions can magnify opposition

Allowing emotions to rule can make giants appear larger. Giving voice to intimidating thoughts is described as allowing the enemy’s voice to speak over one’s life.

Giants oppose divine purpose

Giants are presented as more than oversized people in biblical accounts. They are described as systems and spiritual or territorial powers that resist God’s purpose and operate through family patterns.

The patterns named are intimidation, fear, addiction, perversion, barrenness, delay, lack, spiritual dullness, mental torment, and failure. These recur in thoughts and across generations, making the present resemble the past.

Giants oppose inheritance and breakthrough

The speaker repeatedly states, “Giants only show up where there’s something to protect.” Their aim is described as resisting identity, destiny, inheritance, breakthrough, and the fullness of God’s purpose for the family. Jesus is the final legal authority, and His authority must continue to be enforced in the believer’s response.

David illustrates confronting intimidation

Israel listened to Goliath’s threats for 40 days. David is presented as someone who had worshiped and spent time with the Lord and challenged the giant’s right to defy God’s people.

The application is refusing to let opposition steal identity, destiny, or children. Declarations reject the giant’s place in the mind, thoughts, house, and family’s future.

9. Put Past Agreements Offenses and Failures Under the Blood

The handwriting against believers is removed

Scripture discussed: Colossians 2:14.

The handwriting of requirements was wiped out, taken away, and nailed to the cross. The speaker connects this with vows, oaths, offenses, covenants, and connections with people and places.

Respond with responsibility and repentance

The response presented is to take responsibility, repent, put the matter under Jesus’ blood, continue affirming identity in Christ, and stand for the fullness of God-given destiny.

The old man was crucified with Christ

Scripture discussed: Romans 6:6.

The old man was crucified with Christ so believers would no longer serve sin. The speaker connects vain imaginations with serving sin. Past sins, failures, vows, offenses, anger, hurt, and unforgiveness are named as matters covered by Jesus’ blood.

10. Shift Into Awareness of His Present Power

Stop allowing the past to define identity

The closing exhortation calls the congregation to stop judging themselves, putting themselves under past judgments, and letting giants determine their identity. They are called to remember Christ’s accomplishments and respond to what God has spoken over their lives.

Return to confidence and remain open

The repeated call is to shift out of weariness and drawing back into confidence and awareness of present power. The speaker describes new avenues, paths, pleasant places, and provision. The congregation is warned against returning to old avenues when God is leading in a new direction.

Put the matter under the blood and remain there

The altar invitation calls people to bring the matter under Jesus’ blood again and continue in confidence afterward. They are to leave with ongoing awareness of His power rather than treat the response as only another altar call.

The commitment includes refusing the giant the louder voice, recovering past territory, and putting offenses, vows, and old covenants under Jesus’ blood.

11. The Congregational Prayer and Declaration

The congregation is led in a prayer expressing:

• Coming to the Father in Jesus’ name and because of His blood.
• Coming under that blood and receiving the blotting out of sins and judgments.
• Acknowledging that the blood speaks a better word concerning identity, destiny, and territory.
• Shifting into awareness of God’s presence and refusing to step back or draw back.
• Recognizing His present power to speak, declare, and take back territory.
• Receiving greater capacity to hear and follow Him and fulfill destiny in Jesus’ name.

12. Final Instructions and Closing Prayer

Continue speaking the Word

The speaker returns to Isaiah 59 and the connection between covenant, the Holy Spirit, and God’s Word continuing in the mouths of His people through generations. The Word must continue to be spoken.

His power is present without requiring a feeling

Believers do not have to feel something for His power to be present. Jesus’ blood has already done the work. The response is to declare that work and His truth, keep the Word in the mouth, and use it as a sword against the giant.
