The truths in this series assume a life already shaped through daily fellowship with Christ. For the foundations of that walk, begin with Giants in the Land, then Freedom That Remains, followed by True Apostolic Discipleship and then completing the series with The Inheritance of the Saints.
Possessing What Christ Has Already Won
“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.”
— Romans 8:17 (KJV)
The Christian life does not end with salvation.
It does not end with deliverance.
It does not even end with freedom.
It leads to inheritance.
Scripture declares that believers are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Yet the Bible is equally clear that inheritance is not merely declared — it is possessed, walked in, and maintained through faith, obedience, endurance, and spiritual warfare.
The Inheritance of the Saints was written to address this often-ignored reality.
Inheritance Is Not Automatic
Many believers assume that inheritance simply “happens” by virtue of being saved. But Scripture repeatedly presents inheritance as something that must be:
- entered
- guarded
- stewarded
- and sometimes contended for
Israel was delivered from Egypt in a single night.
But they did not automatically possess the land.
Likewise, believers may be saved and even set free, yet never fully walk in what Christ has secured for them — not because God withholds, but because inheritance requires formation, maturity, and obedience.
From Formation to Possession
This series assumes a believer who has already begun walking with God.
It builds upon the foundations laid in:
- True Apostolic Discipleship — where Christ is formed inwardly
- Freedom That Remains — where freedom is tested, refined, and maintained
Here, the focus shifts from being formed to bearing responsibility.
From learning to walk with God
to learning how to stand, occupy, and remain.
What This Series Explores
The Inheritance of the Saints examines:
- why deliverance must mature into discipleship
- why discipleship must mature into possession
- the difference between promise and inheritance
- why endurance precedes glory
- how identity matures into authority
- why obedience safeguards inheritance
- how spiritual warfare relates to possession
- why stability matters more than excitement
- what it means to reign in life without presumption
This is not about striving to earn anything from God.
It is about walking faithfully in what Christ has already accomplished.
Who This Series Is For
This series is written for believers who:
- have walked with the Lord for some time
- desire depth, stability, and maturity
- are weary of shallow Christianity
- want to understand spiritual authority biblically
- sense a call to stewardship, not spectacle
- want to help others walk forward wisely
It is especially for those who feel the quiet pull from the Spirit saying:
“You have learned much — now walk it out.”
A Word of Order
If you are new to the Christian faith,
or still learning how to walk with God daily,
this series may feel weighty.
That is intentional.
Inheritance comes after formation, not before it.
You are encouraged to begin with:
- True Apostolic Discipleship — to understand how Christ forms the disciple
- Freedom That Remains — to learn how freedom is preserved
Then return here — ready to possess what God has entrusted to you.
The Call of Inheritance
Inheritance is not about ambition.
It is about responsibility.
Not about elevation.
But about faithfulness.
Not about dominance.
But about obedience.
Not about proving anything.
But about remaining.
This series is a call to believers who are ready to walk beyond beginnings — and into the sober, joyful responsibility of inheritance in Christ.
The truths explored in this series assume a life already being formed through daily fellowship with Christ. If you are seeking to understand how God forms disciples through the Spirit, Scripture, and the cross, begin with the series Giants in the Land.
- Followed by: Freedom That Remains — to address what resists that formation
- Continue with: True Apostolic Discipleship — to understand how Christ forms the disciple
- Move into: The Inheritance of the Saints — to learn how to possess what Christ has already won

**Why this topic appears again:
This post builds on earlier insights. Throughout this series, we return to core battlegrounds like the mind, the will, and the emotions—not to repeat, but to go deeper. First, we lay a foundation. Then, we press into transformation. Each revisit invites you further into the victory that is already yours in Christ.
Awesome Sir Richard! It looks like the Lord is helping you help others. I will be looking this material over in the next few days, thanks for including me in your much needed ministry. I’m proud of you for letting God have full access to you and your wife’s lives.
Thank you so much Doug for your kind words. It means a great deal to know the Lord is using this work to bless others. My wife and I are simply vessels — all glory to God for anything good that comes through us. We truly believe the hour is urgent, and we’re honored to be part of what He’s doing in calling His people to rise up and walk in His fullness. May the Lord guide you as you explore the material, and may His Spirit minister to you deeply through it. Let’s keep pressing on together in the faith my old friend and dear brother in the Lord.
