YOU ARE AN HEIR
Minister Lisa Kane
October 8, 2025
Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand their divine identity and authority as heirs of God through Jesus Christ. By exploring the relationship between faith, confession, and action, this teaching aims to reveal how believers can move beyond mere belief into living as true sons and daughters who walk in their inheritance with confidence and purpose.
Synopsis:
In You Are an Heir, Minister Lisa Kane draws from Galatians 4:1-7 to unveil the transformation that occurs when a believer accepts Jesus Christ—not only receiving salvation but also stepping into full spiritual inheritance as a son or daughter of God. Through Scriptures such as Romans 10:9 and James 2:19-24, this teaching highlights that faith must go beyond acknowledgment; it must be expressed through confession and action. Believers are reminded that their words and walk demonstrate the intent of their faith and activate their authority in Christ. As heirs of the Most High, Christians are called to live above the influence of darkness, exercising their God-given power through faith-filled words, works, and steadfast trust in the Father.
Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above:
Galatians 4:1-7 KJV
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
The moment you ask Jesus to forgive you and you believe, you become an heir of God.
Romans 10:9 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
That confession is what directs you to walk as an heir of God vs an unbeliever. You are immediately given authority in Christ because you believe.
Believe is another way of having faith, but remember, devils believe too.
James 2:19 KJV
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
That means we need to walk in ‘more’ than just belief.
James 2:20-24 KJV
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
We need to work our faith. Going back to Romans 10:9, by ‘confessing with your mouth’, that’s another way to act on your faith.
Speak the word of God over your situation. Confession of mouth, ‘out loud’ speaking, tells everything listening, our cloud of witnesses, the intent of your belief.
The other part of faith, believing is to walk with intent upon your belief. For example, if the doctor gives you bad news, you can take that to the Lord and say, ‘Lord, I don’t accept this news. I choose to walk under your healing and not under the guidance of the doctors suggestion.’
That’s another way to walk in faith. These are steps that go beyond even what the devil believes.
You can do this because you are an heir of the most high. You have authority under that title, which places you above the devil and demons.
The question I have for you, will you walk as a Christian according to your title? Because if you do, you will walk in faith and see God move in your life.
