The Holy Spirit Helps You Know What God Has Given You

1 Corinthians 3:21 says, “...All things are yours.” It doesn’t get clearer or more direct than that! 2 Peter 1:3 emphasises the same reality: “Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (NASB). There’s nothing you need today that isn’t already made available to you in Christ. However, there’s no way you can appropriate the blessings of God to your life if you don’t know the Word. Through the Word, you discover your inheritance; however, it’s one thing to discover it and another thing to enjoy it. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in!

He helps us know our divine gifts; things that have been given to us freely by God. 1 Corinthians 2:13 says, “These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” Did you notice that? He helps us know, and teaches us to speak what we know. That’s the key to enjoying your inheritance. The affirmation of it makes it real. Life in its fullness, fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, righteousness, peace, divine healing and health, prosperity, forgiveness, etc., are some of God’s glorious blessings given to you to enjoy freely; speak them forth.

Philemon 1:6 says, “...your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” To acknowledge the good things in you doesn’t mean a passive recognition of the blessings you have in Christ. Rather, it means to recognise and affirm your blessings and heritage in Christ. It means to recognise and vocalise all that you are, all that you have, and all that you can do in Christ. Hallelujah!
