“For our fathers did not possess the land [of Canaan] by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, Because You favored and delighted in them.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭44‬:‭3‬ ‭AMP‬‬

This is the verse the Holy Spirit gave me by word of knowledge this morning. Psalm 44:3 // 4+4=8 meaning restoration and new beginnings, 3 meaning the Spirit. Receiving the Lord’s favor and delight over you by the Spirit is just as holy and part of the process of receiving the restorative promise. It is truly humbling to receive from the Lord in this regard.

You can not inherit and fully take possession of that which you do not receive. The generosity of the Lord is truly overwhelming and humbling. With inheritance is trust, and with trust there is responsibility.

“Then he said to me, “This [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.” ‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The Lord’s favor is His face illuminated over us, the evidence of His nearness transfers as oil. His Presence. His Voice. Unity with the Spirit like dripping oil from Aaron’s beard; a communion of Oneness, from the High Priest (Jesus) to the high priest – the promise to be one. Many things we are able to inherit and be responsible for, and we are grateful and humbled as that is necessary too; but my true inheritance and stewardship is HIM. If you steward His Voice (obedience, love, reverence) you will be trusted to steward the ‘promised land’ He gives you – in His strength! He is my portion forever! I love YOU Lord!
