He’s Brought You Into “A Large Place”
He brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me
(Psalm 18:19).
“A large place” means a wealthy place; being
born again, you’re the seed of Abraham,
and a joint heir with Christ. Effectively, this means
the whole world belongs to you. It’s too late for you
to be poor or be counted as the poor. The only way
you can be poor is by choice or ignorance, because
God has already brought you out of poverty into your
wealthy place.
2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For ye know the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet
for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich.” Notice that it doesn’t say, “…so
that ye might pray to be rich,” no; He’s already done it.
In Christ Jesus, you’ve been made rich. The Holy Spirit,
writing to the Church through Paul, declared, “…all
things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). Refuse to think
small or see yourself as small; you own this world.
Another beautiful thing is that everything that
belongs to you is perfect; your portion is the good
one. The Psalmist said in Psalm 16:6: “The lines are
fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly
heritage.” Some Christians don’t realize this; so they
envy others and covet what belongs to others; there’s
no need for that. You have “a goodly heritage”; an
incorruptible inheritance, with your name on it.
Acknowledge, and affirm this truth about yourself
and walk in the light of it. God has given you all
things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3);
they’re in your spirit. Therefore, have no sense of lack,
disadvantage, or limitation. Whatever you’re looking
for, be it spiritual or material, pull it out from within,
for out of your spirit are the issues of life (Proverbs
4:23).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for blessing me with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus. I acknowledge,
and walk in the fullness of your blessings in my life.
I’m the seed of Abraham, a joint-heir with Christ;
the world belongs to me.
I lack nothing, because you’ve graciously granted me all things
that pertain to life and godliness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
