Today I am sharing Part:1 of my communion time with the Holy Spirit.

This message comes from a time of communion with the Holy Spirit where He shared the difference between living from our natural heritage and us living from the realm of the Spirit of our heavenly Father. The desire of the Holy Spirit is that we receive grace and total confidence to live out our earthly walk from the reality of heaven, so that the spiritual benefits of our heavenly inheritance become manifest in our lives here on earth as we bear witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to His position seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven .

As I was worshipping the Lord in the beauty of His holiness, the Holy Spirit began to emphasise the reality that those who have received Christ have been born anew by the Spirit of their heavenly Father. This fact creates a profound distinction between who we were according to our natural birth and who we now are according to our spiritual birth in Christ.

We must learn to live from the reality of being born of God Almighty rather than allowing our natural family history, earthly identity, or inherited patterns of thinking on earth to define our existence. There is a vast difference between us living from the Holy Spirit and all the grace He supplies us from living according to our earthly nature. One of the reasons the Holy Spirit is so important to us is that when family iniquity attempts to overwhelm us through the relentless accusations of Satan, the Holy Spirit reminds us whose we are, to whom we belong, and whom we serve.

The enemy always seeks to use our past, our family background, and the iniquity associated with our natural heritage to frame us according to an identity that Christ has already redeemed us from through His precious blood. Jesus spoke about the operation of workers of iniquity in Luke 13:27. The enemy uses the reality of iniquity in our backgrounds to accuse, limit and define us, by attempting to rob us of the blessings and privileges that belong to us as God’s children.

But the truth is that we who have been born anew by the Spirit of God must recognise our rightful position as children of the Most High God and learn to walk in the authority of that position where we are seated together with Christ in the heavenly places. John 1:13-14 gives us a life-changing revelation concerning our new identity in Christ: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

”The reality of this truth must become more than theological knowledge to us and we are called to meditate upon it until it changes the way we think about ourselves and transforms the way we live out our lives on earth. We must allow our minds to be renewed so that our hearts become established in the reality of our new birth to the point where only what the Lord says about our spiritual identity becomes the governing reality of our everyday lives.

We must remember that this was the reason Christ came into the earth which is to make possible an entirely new existence for humanity to inherit His DNA and divine nature. Luke 2:13-14 points us to the significance of Christ’s coming and the heavenly purpose surrounding His birth because we could not give birth to ourselves. We were born through natural parents, and our natural parents themselves carried the effects of family iniquity.

Consequently, we inherited things that we had no ability to change or remove by ourselves. We were born into natural families with histories, patterns, weaknesses, and iniquities that we could not free ourselves from through our own strength. However when we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we are born anew and we receive a completely different heritage that of God Most High. Our natural birth no longer has the final word concerning who we are as John reveals that we have now been born “of God.”

Therefore, we must learn to live from our new spiritual origin rather than continually allowing our natural origin to define us based on our human limitations. So knowing our rights from being blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places must become our pursuit. Ephesians.1:3 The rights we possess in Christ determine, to a great extent, the kind of life we experience because knowing our rights reveal what is legitimately available to us to draw from.

Once we become children of God, we are entitled to the rights and privileges associated with being members of our heavenly Father’s household. We must therefore become conscious of what is available to us in our Father’s house and learn to live from them. The first great reality of our Father’s house is liberty from the oppression of the devil because in Christ, there is a total separation from sin and iniquity because Jesus dealt completely with the legal demands that stood against us.

Colossians 2:13-15 reveals that Christ forgave our trespasses and cancelled the handwriting of requirements that was against us, removing it from our lives by triumphing over principalities and powers. The enemy may attempt to remind us of what belonged to our former life, but Christ has already dealt with the record that stood against us. So we are not required to continue living under the condemnation or oppression of what Jesus has already removed off our lives. We must remember that Jesus did more than just forgive our sins but He also took our place by becoming sin for us.

This message emphasises an important revelation concerning the work of Christ by revealing that Jesus did not simply wait for us to repent and then decide to forgive us and save us because we made the decision to change. He took our place and He became sin and iniquity for us and bore the punishment of death on our behalf so that we could be free to live for righteousness. Isaiah 53:10-12 reveals the suffering Servant who gave Himself as an offering for sin and bore the iniquities of many.

Therefore, our freedom is not based on our ability to overcome our past through human effort but it is rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ as He carried what belonged to us so that we could receive what belongs to Him. This is why the communion Jesus established is so significant.

I declare that I am born of God and my identity is established in Him. So I refuse to be defined by my natural heritage, my family history, my former iniquities, my past failures, or the accusations of the enemy against me. I belong to my heavenly Father, and I walk in the rights and privileges of His household here on the earth.

I declare that every handwriting of requirements that stood against me has been cancelled through the finished work of Jesus Christ. So every accusation of the enemy against me is silenced by the blood of the New Covenant. I am free from the dominion of sin and I have been delivered from the oppression of the devil.

I declare that Jesus has taken my place, because He carried my sin, bore my punishment, and opened the way for me to live in the freedom and righteousness He purchased for me. Therefore, I receive the life He came to give me which is life and that more abundantly. I declare that I will no longer live from the limitations of my earthly origin but from the reality of my heavenly birth because I am a child of God who knows whose I am, and to whom I belong , and I know whom I serve faithfully in Jesus name. Amen.
