The Lord reminded me this week of a word He had given me a few weeks ago - that Emmanuel was coming to be Emmanuel in our relationships and finances.
This week God said you don't understand relationships or finances because you are not understanding your relationship with me. You are coming to me as a beggar when you should be coming to me as sons and daughters. If you understand the inheritance that is yours as sons and daughters you would have no fear in finances, but would have joy in blessing others abundantly, for you know the huge abundance that is yours. But you come to God as a beggar hoping for scraps when there is a seat at the table prepared. In fact, God runs to embrace us and claim us as sons and daughters and establish it in abundance. So it's a picture of us just not seeing our inheritance but choosing to beg and strive for what is ours. A correct view of God as Father will cause relationships and finances to simply fall into correct perspective. They will no longer hold us in idolatry. But we will excel as sons and daughters of the King.
