Yesterday we established this truth:
You are a child, not a slave.
Today we take it a step further because sonship doesnât just change how you approach GodâŚ
it changes what you expect.
đ Galatians 4:7 says:
âSo you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.â
Read that slowly.
Not a visitor.
Not a beggar.
Not a hopeful outsider.
An HEIR.
Hereâs the shift most believers havenât made:
Slaves ask for permission.
Heirs understand inheritance.
Slaves hope God will do something.
Heirs trust what already belongs to them.
Slaves pray from lack.
Heirs pray from access.
Inheritance means:
- You donât beg God to show up He already promised He would.
- You donât plead for provision you trust His nature as Father.
- You donât pray like youâre unsure you pray like you know who He is.
This doesnât mean youâre demanding or disrespectful.
It means youâre secure.
A child doesnât say,
âDad⌠Iâm sorry to ask⌠I know I donât deserve it⌠but can I eat today?â
No.
They ask because they know where they belong.
And hereâs the hard truth
If you donât understand inheritance, youâll keep praying like youâre hoping God approves of you.
But approval was already settled at the cross.
Jesus didnât just save you
He restored your position.
So todayâs question isnât:
âWill God help me?â
Itâs:
âDo I believe Iâm His?â
Because inheritance only feels bold when you donât realize itâs already yours.
Reflection
- Where do you still pray from lack instead of access?
- What would change if you truly believed God is a good Father?
- What have you been asking for like youâre unsure youâre allowed to?
Declaration
I am an heir of God.
I pray from access, not lack.
I trust my Fatherâs heart toward me.
I receive what already belongs to me.
Tomorrow weâre talking about why begging sounds spiritual but actually isnât biblical.
Stay here.
Stay open.
