Inheritance – Destiny 4
Individual inheritance
Identity, redemptive gift and
destiny
Who am I – my identity
How am I made – redemptive gift
What am I made for – destiny or birthright
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Psa 139:16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book (scroll) were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Inheritance Destiny 4
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Many people lost their destiny
Disobedience, unbelief, lacking faith
Jacob chose financial security over destiny – disaster
Esau despised destiny – no value
Lot coveted Abraham’s destiny
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Some people just don’t seem to fit
Nothing seems to work out
There always seems to be obstacles, road blocks, mountains in the way
They don’t seem to be able to get connected
Why?
What is going on?
Inheritance – Destiny 4 One cause is an alien destiny
Alien birthright belongs to someone else in addition to or instead of our own
God did not intend it for us
Creates obstacles, it obstructs you, hinders you, trips you up, blocks your path
Frustration, confusion
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Have a field you are trying to cultivate
In field there is an immaculately engineered train track
It looks good is well designed and built but goes nowhere
It is an obstacle and hindrance superimposed over your field
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Generationally or individually
Occult covenant exchange bloodshed – in
our generational blood line
Masonic oaths and curses
Fortune telling, tarot cards, tea leaves
Cult involvement does away with individual
identity in favour of group identity
Buy into vision of the group – lose identity
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Parents wanted another gender child
Parents wanted you to fulfil their unfulfilled dreams
Parents wanted to force you into conforming to the family tradition or business
We were not content with our destiny, did not connect to it
Inheritance – Destiny 4 We wanted someone else’s anointing, mantles, gifts, position etc.
We despised our own calling and yearned to be like someone else
We coveted what someone else was doing because it looked more glamorous, visible, or offered more kudos
Inheritance – Destiny 4 How do you know?
Deep down yearning for something else: daydreams, wishes, feel unfulfilled
Design seems fit for somewhere else
Life is not fulfilling even with achievement
Succeed in an area not designed for you feels like mockery or vanity
Alien destiny causes highly resistant obstacles within us
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Ps 139 your timeline is designed for
your success There are events, people, structures,
assets and resources at certain points to facilitate our destiny
Divinely ordered appointments to help us.
Alien destiny causes you to run into obstacles infiltrating your life
Internal and external
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Heroes of faith? Why? Inspire your destiny
or do you want theirs?
Mantles, impartation services and false prophetic readings – short cuts
Laziness – don't want to develop character to deal with issues – price is too high.
Instead of being willing to pay the cost for unpacking our destiny we look at a sparkly destiny of someone who has paid the price
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Short cut – zapped, build track in us
that is not connected
There are many who prey on the lazy
Someone is looking for legitimacy by
giving away destiny, mantles and
anointing etc. that don't fit in our lives
Culture of the instant – no value and
not willing to pay price
Inheritance – Destiny 4 There is the legitimate laying on of hands to
impart gifts, passing on the baton, or
mantles to release your own destiny
Constantly tripping over others’ tracks
Have I pursued, lusted for someone else’s
destiny?
Repent, renounce it, get deliverance from
the alien part
Who did it? Me, others, past generation?

James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Every battle on the pathway of our
destiny was designed to create dependence and intimacy with God
Jesus has been there and knows
Avoiding the battles, conflicts, trials and tribulations hinders our maturity
We are cheating ourselves of experiential intimacy, growth and transformation
Inheritance – Destiny 4 God gives us a vision
We don’t get to see the whole of God’s purposes – need to pursue Him for more revelation
God often gives encounter to attract our attention
Introduction to get us on the path
Often there is initial opposition
Press through to overcome

king trying to kill him, lived in a cave with a bunch of oddballs, Philistines trying to rob him etc.

Abandoned and forgotten
Inheritance – Destiny 4 What is Joseph’s attitude?
Is he reduced to making the best of a bad situation?
No, God’s plan is alive and well
Reality is his destiny for ruling could never be learnt under his father’s protection
So God removed him to train him to rule.
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Problem that he was green and naïve
Needed prison experience to teach him about people
Animosity, political, jealousy – became streetwise
The prison prep school was the fast track to destiny
He never let opposition rob him of his dreams
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Joseph exalted, restored, new clothes, favour
Didn’t sulk, continued in faith, used his gifts to bless even in captivity
Forgiveness – did not hold his past against people
Saw God’s purpose in it all
God’s plan fulfilled – nations saved
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Zelophehad’s 5 daughters
Men only culture girls could not inherit land
Num 27:4 Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.” 5 So Moses brought their case before the Lord.
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Girls were not content to go with the
status quo in their culture
What the law said was not whole story
God's heart is bigger than what is currently revealed
Go to a higher authority – Moses takes it to God, who says ‘you must certainly give them property as inheritance’.
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Num 27:6 Then the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are right in their statements. You shall surely give them a hereditary possession among their father’s brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 Further, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter’”.
Inheritance – Destiny 4 Esther seemingly on a fast track to
nowhere
Orphaned
Kidnapped to a harem, separated, no dialogue, year of purification to spend rest of her life in futility?
‘Esther… you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?’
Saved a whole nation
Inheritance – Destiny 4 You do not know the signficance of your destiny
Be an agent for change
Be a world-changer
Be transformed, come into maturity
Don’t be hindered, restricted
Don’t give up, press on
