Today I am sharing part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on Accessing the Treasures of My Inheritance.

This morning, during my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He emphasised the theme of our inheritance in the Lord and reinforced how important it is for us to understand and maximize the inheritance available to us in this present season.

From my previous experiences with the Holy Spirit on many important matters, I have learned that when we become completely saturated with truth and filled to overflowing with it, what comes out of us is no longer merely something we have studied or learned intellectually. It becomes an overflow and outpouring of the Holy Spirit from within us.

There is a vast difference between speaking from ourselves and ministering from what the Holy Spirit has deposited within us. When truth flows from the Holy Spirit, it brings life to the hearer and supplies grace for the hearer to believe, receive, and act upon that same truth. This is the reality reflected in 1 Corinthians 2:4–5.

In Colossians 1:5, Paul speaks of the faith and love of the believers rising within them as they access the treasures of their inheritance stored up in the heavenly realm. This points to something much deeper than merely knowing biblical truth on the surface. It speaks of truth becoming established within the heart until it produces an experiential reality.

The prophetic word becomes like a light shining in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in the heart. This connects with what Peter says in 2 Peter 1:19–20. As the Word continues to shine within the heart, it grows brighter and brighter until Jesus, the Morning Star, becomes the dominant reality within that person.

At that point, the Word is no longer merely something being repeated from our mouths from the outside. It has become an inward reality in our lives. It reveals that the truth has been established so deeply in the heart that when it is spoken, it carries the impact of Jesus speaking through the person. Faith and love rise together because the truth has become experiential, and the love of God has been shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit.

As this transformation takes place in the heart, access is granted to the treasures of our inheritance stored up for us in the heavenly realm. This inheritance should not be understood as one isolated treasure, like a single expensive diamond or sapphire. The picture is of many precious treasures such as numerous diamonds and sapphires in the plural, already stored up and ready for dispatch to their rightful owners.

The issue is therefore not whether the Lord has made provision because the treasures have already been prepared and stored up. The question is whether we are walking in the kind of relationship with Jesus that enables us to access and steward what He has made available to us. This access is not presented as something to be claimed arbitrarily merely because a promise appears in the Bible.

It belongs to those who have taken Jesus seriously at His word, laid down their lives to serve Him, meditated upon His words, continually confessed what the Holy Spirit is saying, and walked in the light He has given them. The developing relationship between Jesus and His Apostles demonstrates this principle in action.

So although Jesus had twelve Apostles, not all twelve were taken onto the mountain of transfiguration. Peter, James, and John were the only ones permitted to accompany Jesus and witness that extraordinary event in Matthew 17:1–8. Likewise, these same three disciples were permitted to accompany Jesus more closely during His prayer time in the Garden of Gethsemane immediately before His death.

I declare that you will not remain ignorant of the treasures of your inheritance in the Lord because the Holy Spirit is bringing revelation, correction, wisdom, and grace to position you rightly so that you may access and steward what Jesus has purchased for you.

May the truth become more deeply established in your heart until the Morning Star rises within you and the reality of Christ begins to shine through everything you say and do. May your faith and love rise from within you as the Holy Spirit brings the treasures of your inheritance into experiential reality so your life becomes a witness of the miraculous hand of the Lord on earth in Jesus name. Amen.
