YOU ARE A SON OF GOD

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 (KJV)

God, in His mercy and love, did not plan for man to live in the bondage of generational
curses. That is not His agenda. In some families, no one succeeds in anything. If you put
money in their hands, it will fizzle out. But God is merciful. So, when He says you should be
born again, it is for your good so that you don’t partake of the curse that was already released
on earth because of your origin. When you are born again, you become a child of the Most
High.

Romans 8: 15-17 says: “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye
have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself
beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together.” You are an heir of God. That simply means you have an inheritance. You
have been adopted into the family of God. So, your earthly family is just the channel through
which God released you to this world. Now that you are born again, you are a child of God
and God is your father. You must no longer see yourself after the flesh. You are born of the
Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (MSG) says: “Our firm decision is to work from this focused center:
One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his
death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life
than people ever lived on their own.” Beloved, better life is your portion. He died so that you
can live a better life. He came that you might have life and have it abundantly. Abundant life
means life to the fullest.
