Prophetic Word đ The Time Is Now: Step Into Your Kingdom Inheritance
âTo give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heavinessâŠâ
Isaiah 61:3
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is declaring that many of His children are stepping into a season of their Kingdom inheritance. The land and the territory are already there, waiting for you to take hold of them. But you must step into what God has for you.
This is a time of regrowth, restoration, and renewalâan invitation to walk boldly into Godâs promises.
Right now, Iâm in central Mexico, surrounded by mountains and vast, dusty wilderness. Each day, I go jogging along the farmland, and God continues to speak to me through nature. A few weeks ago, I saw farmers burning their fields. The controlled fire prepares the land for something new. Farmers burn their fields to clear away old crops, weeds, and pests, enriching the soil with nutrients from the ash.
It reminded me of how we all go through burning seasonsâtimes of pruning, refining, and letting go. The fire isnât meant to destroy us, but to prepare the ground for something greater.
Yesterday, I saw something remarkable! Fresh green grass was already sprouting through the charred remains!
In that moment, the Holy Spirit whispered something powerfulâŠ"What you thought was lost in the fire, I am resurrecting in greater measure. The burning season was not for your destruction but for your purification. I have been making space in your life for new growthârooting out what cannot go with you into the new territory. Do not grieve what was burned, for I am the God who restores better than before."
"Look at the land before youâwhere there were only ashes, green shoots are breaking through,â the LORD says. âThis is what I am doing in your life. What felt like devastation was actually preparation. I am bringing forth fresh growth, new provision, and unexpected breakthroughs. Do not be discouraged by what you lost, because I am multiplying what remains."
Beloved, you are pregnant with purpose, and itâs time to partake in the blessing with King Jesus!
THE TIME IS NOW. THIS IS NOT A TIME TO GROW WEARY OR SLACK.
We must take ACTION.
In Joshua 18:2-3, the Word says:
"But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance. Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: 'How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?'"
After conquering the Promised Land through multiple victories and battles, seven tribes grew apathetic and perhaps even disengaged. For whatever reasonâwhether fear, complacency, or distractionâthey did not take their inheritance. They had seen the Lord move powerfully on their behalf, yet they hesitated to actually claim their destiny.
This was not due to a lack of promise, but a lack of pursuit. Complacency had settled in. Joshua rebuked them for taking so long.
For many of God's people today, slackness looks like waiting indefinitely for the perfect moment, second-guessing the Holy Spiritâs instructions, or allowing fear to dictate our decisions. It can look like procrastination, indecision, or even spiritual laziness. But the Spirit of the Lord is saying, it is GO TIME!
In this season, we have to labor for the promise.
Joshua didnât tell them to fast, pray, or do anything holy. Instead, he stirred them to action because it was time to advance and take what God had already given them.
The Spirit of the Lord says: âThis is not a season for passivity.â This is not a time to wonder if you are ready or if God will bless youâHe has already spoken! Victory is assured if you start to move forward into the promise now.
Dig the ditches! Plow the land! Beloved, you have found FAVOR with the Lord! This is your set time!
Do not be timid.
Do not wait.
Do not hesitate.
Take the land!
Understanding Inheritance in the Kingdom of God
Plow the Land!
When we think of inheritance, we often equate it with finances or assets passed down from family members as a monetary gift. This mindset can limit our understanding of what God means when He speaks of inheritance.
In the Bible, inheritance is primarily about landâboth physically and spiritually.
The Hebrew word for inheritance means âpossession, property, or heritage.â
In the Old Testament, the Israelites' inheritance was the land God had promised to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12:7, Joshua 1:6).
It was more than just territoryâit represented their identity, their place of dwelling, and their covenant relationship with God.
Our inheritance represents the eternal hope we have in Jesus Christ.
It also reflects the gifts and callings He has specifically marked for our lives. Your new âlandâ can be a ministry, social media space, a nonprofit, business, family, books or other areas of influence that God has selected for you. It can also represent people groups that youâre uniquely designed to impact for a greater glory. Again, itâs been gifted to you by the Holy Spirit, so you must claim your destiny with courage!
Beloved, you are a spiritual trailblazerâand because of this, your life journey and Kingdom inheritance will look vastly different from others. That is by design. You will be a model to show others what it means to truly follow the narrow path with King Jesus.
The sooner you embrace that being different is actually a gift, the faster youâll step into your promise. đ God CHOSE you for this!
đ±Now Is the Time to Occupy
We are stepping into a Joshua 1:3 moment:
"Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses."
What has God given you, but youâve been afraid to step into?
The enemy will try to intimidate you with giants in the land, but just as Caleb declared, âLet us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it!â (Numbers 13:30).
You are more than able. Not by your strength, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
The Call to Action
If youâve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or hesitant, this is your wake-up call. The land has already been given to you. Now is the time to:
Seek the Lord for strategy. Just as Joshua told the Israelites to survey the land and create a report, ask God for wisdom in how to step forward. Write the vision down and make it plain.
Break the spirit of hesitation. Declare out loud, âI will no longer sit on the sidelines. I will possess what the Lord has given me.â
Move in faith. Take one actionable step todayâwhether thatâs making the phone call, submitting the application, starting the business, or simply saying âyesâ to God.
The Spirit of the Lord is saying:
âMy child, the time is now. Step in, take hold, and move forward. I am with you. The territory is already yours. Do not fear. Do not delay. I have given you everything you need to succeed. Now GO.â
