Beloved and Highly Favored

Dearly beloved of God and highly favored in His sight, we are the children of God and our Heavenly Father loves and cares for us more than we comprehend.

It would take the space of all nine Church Epistles to explain just how much He loves us, and that would only begin to give us a glimpse. It will take eternity to grasp His great love and the exceeding riches of His grace to us in Christ Jesus. Our Father will demonstrate it to us with His loving kindness and tender mercies. We are His dearly beloved children, His kids!

At times it may seem hard to believe that God loves us so much because of the evil age in which we live; the adversary works hard to influence us and get us to conform to his way of thinking.

He does not want us to know or believe who we are in Christ by the grace of God, or our hope of glory. He wants to blind people’s minds to the light of the glorious gospel of Christ.

How many people do you run into that know and believe this glorious gospel? The world is full of them, right? Wrong. No matter: our Heavenly Father, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm; we have heard, and we do believe it!

Almighty God, the One True and Living God, sent His Son to carry out His will and save us. God is our Father now. Today we have the birth, and when He sends Christ Jesus the Lord back to gather us together unto him in the air, we will receive the inheritance of eternal life, and everything associated with that inheritance.

Beloved, right now today we are the children of God, and as His children, we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Did you get that? How beloved and privileged are we? We are joint-heirs with Christ! How privileged is that?!

God called us to acquire the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. He freely gives us all things with Christ. He will glorify us together with him, beloved. Rejoice! If Moses stood on holy ground when God spoke to him out of the bush, what do you call this?! God seated us in the heavenlies in Christ, and made us holy and without blame before Him. We are as blameless as the Lamb sacrificed for us. Such grace!! We stand on holy ground, resurrection ground; ground conquered by the Lord Jesus Christ.

If this doesn’t affect your attitude, I don’t know what will. Our Heavenly Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ love us, and they are there for us in our times of need. Believe it.

What do we have in Christ? We have the sonship spirit and the nine manifestations that come with it. We have free access to His throne of grace by the spirit of sonship, and the power of prayer. We have sonship rights we can stand on. We have the wisdom of God: we are justified, redeemed, sanctified, made the righteousness of God in Christ. We have the power of attorney to do the works that Jesus did when he was on earth, and greater than these. We have divine privileges as God’s children who are seated in the heavenly realm in Christ and have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the spiritual realm in him. We have the hope of receiving the glory of God, and God called us to obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not even death will have power over us forever; we have the victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ; we will have everlasting life when he gathers us up to him.

Consider the power the Lord Jesus walked with while he was on earth; God has endued us with “power on high.” He desires to work in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. This is His will; I didn’t make it up. These are the words of life that He has revealed to us for our believing!

Go, stand, and speak to the people all the words of this life, dearly beloved. We only have one life to live and to give; give your utmost for His Highest. We are dearly beloved and highly favored by Him, and we will be glorified with Christ Jesus when he comes.

Live with fullness of joy in your heart and speak the Word of God with boldness; God has your back. Pray without ceasing.

God is faithful, by Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Walk in that sharing relationship and live to do His will; you are His dearly beloved.

Don’t let anyone talk you out of God’s Word and His Will concerning you. Stand dearly beloved; it is not in vain!
