Hebrews 9:15, 24-28 GNBDK
[15] For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in force.
[24] For Christ did not go into a Holy Place made by human hands, which was a copy of the real one. He went into heaven itself, where he now appears on our behalf in the presence of God.
[25] The Jewish High Priest goes into the Most Holy Place every year with the blood of an animal. But Christ did not go in to offer himself many times,
[26] for then he would have had to suffer many times ever since the creation of the world. Instead, now when all ages of time are nearing the end, he has appeared once and for all, to remove sin through the sacrifice of himself.
[27] Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God.
[28] In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 98:1, 2-3, 3-4, 5-6
R. (1a) Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
Gospel, Mark 3:22-30
Mark 3:22-30 GNBDK
[22] Some teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem were saying, “He has Beelzebul in him! It is the chief of the demons who gives him the power to drive them out.”
[23] So Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?
[24] If a country divides itself into groups which fight each other, that country will fall apart.
[25] If a family divides itself into groups which fight each other, that family will fall apart.
[26] So if Satan's kingdom divides into groups, it cannot last, but will fall apart and come to an end.
[27] “No one can break into a strong man's house and take away his belongings unless he first ties up the strong man; then he can plunder his house.
[28] “I assure you that people can be forgiven all their sins and all the evil things they may say.
[29] But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, because he has committed an eternal sin.”
[30] (Jesus said this because some people were saying, “He has an evil spirit in him.”)
Dearest Father,
Thank You for making me Your rich child and heir through the Blood of Jesus Christ as written in the First Reading.
Hebrews 9:15 TPT
[15] So Jesus is the One who has enacted a new covenant with a new relationship with God so that those who accept the invitation will receive the eternal inheritance he has promised to his heirs. For he died to release us from the guilt of the violations committed under the first covenant.
I'm so happy that through the ministry of Gary Kasee, You have revealed to me that I'm Your heir as Your child and that with Jesus, I am co-heir with Him.
As co-heirs with Jesus, I receive whatever He receives as heir.
In Revelation, You revealed to me what my eternal inheritance is in Jesus:
Revelation 5:12 NABRE
[12] and they cried out in a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing.”
That's everything anyone will ever need to live the fullness of life Jesus said He came to give us.
John 10:10 NABRE
[[10] A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!
Life in all its fullness, more than we expect, everything in abundance until it overflows.
The 4 Pillars of the Richlife Playbook You have shown me flows from these truths:
Pillar 1: Divine Identification - I am a child and heir of God with a promised eternal inheritance of power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory, and blessings!
Pillar 2: GodX vision is the fullness of life promised in John 10:10, the perfect 10X life Jesus came to give me.
Pillar 3: Rock Foundation - I remain in Christ and His words as my Rock Foundation and let Him remain in me and everything else will be done for me.
Pillar 4: 24H Activation - I act in accordance to who I am, a child and heir of God, implementing God-inspired ideas that bless me and the people God brings to me, I listen to and obey the Father, in Jesus’ Name, by the power of His Spirit, one day at a time.
We cannot live the fullness of life - the rich life in Christ if we don't embrace our Divine Identity as a child and heir of God.
We will always have a limited vision for our life if it does not spring from our identity as His child and heir.
I was watching this documentary of Saudi heirs set to inherit trillions from their oil business. Also the heir, the crown prince of Dubai.
I was shocked! I never realized anyone could be a trillionaire! This was when my trillionaire dream was born. And I'm shocked at how lavish their lifestyle is, a reflection of their riches and opulence as a child and heir of billionaires and rulers of a kingdom.
I also saw this video of Barron Trump’s trillionaire lifestyle.
How about this trillionaire lifestyle of Ivanka Trump?
But this trillionaire lifestyle of Princess Aminah of Malaysia is what I like the most: a lifestyle that balances luxury with responsibility.
For us, these lifestyles could simply be a dream but for these heirs, they are a daily reality.
But what is clear, for me, with these heirs is their confidence in who they are, not what they have.
They know they are heirs of their father and called to do great things and they have all the resources they need at their disposal.
They don't think small, they don't act small. They go for their big dreams knowing they can very well afford to do it. They buy so many lavish things just because they can. They live in unapologetic extravagance.
I don't share these stories to cause us to envy their lives. I show these to reveal to us how it is to live the lifestyle of an heir of the world’s richest.
Their family riches allow them to indulge in their interests and hobbies without limitations.
We, too, as children and heirs of God must have that mindset. We have everything we ever need to live the fullness of life that Jesus gave us - more than we expect, everything in abundance until we overflow!
Every day, we must bear the confidence and authority of a child and heir of God.
Let's not think small with small dreams.
Let's dream big, like build empires of our own.
Dan Martell, one of the millionaire businessmen I follow on YouTube, I heard him talk of building an empire - a life of unlimited creation he never wants to retire from.
That's what I want to build as well. An empire of my own, created with God-inspired ideas that bless billions of people and produce trillions in profits.
The “how” is not our problem, the “Who” is what we should focus on.
Who is your Father? God, the Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Psalms 2:7 GNBDK
[7] “I will announce,” says the king, “what the LORD has declared. He said to me: ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.
Who are you? A child and heir of God, redeemed by the Blood of the Son and adopted into God's family.
Galatians 4:7 GNBDK
[7] So then, you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter. And since that is what you are, God will give you all that he has for his heirs.
Who are you called to be? Free people of God.
Galatians 5:1 GNBDK
[1] Freedom is what we have — Christ has set us free! Stand, then, as free people, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again.
Free to grow in grace and wisdom before God and men.
Free to be, do, and have what God wants you to be, do, and have.
Free to live a life without limitations.
So every day wake up to the knowledge that you are a child and heir of God. You have power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory, and blessings!
Live in that reality throughout the day. Sleep in that knowledge when you go to bed at night.
This is what Neville Goddard called living in the constant state of the wish fulfilled.
If you wish to have a rich life like all these heirs, just live in the feeling of being rich, filled with gratitude, no worries and anxieties for anything, especially about money.
Because we are rich. In Christ.
You know what? When these rich people die, they leave all their riches behind.
But in Christ, we are rich in this life, now and forever.
How? Because we have eternal life in Christ. We live forever in Christ.
Don't you want that?
So how do we become children and heirs of God? Accept the gift that Jesus is giving us. Accept Him as Lord and Savior of your life.
Just say this prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins. I accept You as Lord and Savior of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for making me Your child and heir. In Jesus’ Name!
Did you say that prayer? Then welcome to the family. We are now brothers and sisters in Christ.
How is that easy, you ask? It's too good to be true.
It is as easy as that. It's also as real as can be. But it's not free. Jesus paid the price with His own Blood.
Hebrews 9:15 GNBDK
[15] For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in force.
Yes, we have become children and heirs of God, adopted into His family.
Yes, this can be done because there has been a death that set us free.
So I live in that reality. Even though it might be crazy for others.
I'm a child and heir of God, Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Every day this is my confession:
Thank You, Father. I'm Your child and heir, Your thankful Trillionaire. I receive and act on God-inspired ideas that bless billions of people and produce trillions in profits, generating 99% tithe to fund Your assignments in the world, blessing billions of people in my generation and for generations to come. In Jesus’ Name.
Why not? We are children and heirs of God Most High, King of kings and Lord of lords. Why not just dream big? As big as they could be.
Thank You, Father. I love You.
