Living in The Kingdom

This powerful message invites us into a transformative understanding of what it means to live as citizens of God's kingdom right here, right now. Drawing from Ephesians 1:3, we're reminded that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places—not will bless, but has blessed. This isn't about waiting for heaven; it's about accessing our inheritance today. The sermon uses the compelling illustration of someone discovering they've inherited billions: long before they spend a dime, their entire mindset shifts. That's exactly what happens when we truly grasp our identity as sons and daughters of the King. We're representatives of another kingdom, carrying its authority, resources, and culture into this world. The enemy's strategy is simple: keep us focused on lack, fear, and failure instead of our inheritance, identity, and authority in Christ. When we understand that Jesus said 'it is finished' on the cross, we realize everything we'll ever need was already purchased—healing, provision, purpose, relationships, opportunities. Our promised land isn't heaven; it's here and now, where we're called to possess what's already been given. Like Joshua entering Canaan after the kings were defeated, we're stepping into territory where the victory is already won. We just need to possess it through faith, drawing on heaven's resources rather than our pocket's limitations.
