If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him? (Matthew 7:11).
We are the children of God; and if children, then sons, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, as Paul says. At the present time we find ourselves full of limitations and disabilities because we are spiritually but children—minors. Children are irresponsible, lacking in wisdom and experience, and have to be kept under control lest their mistakes should entail serious consequences to themselves.
…That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors…(Galatians 4:1).
But when the fullness of time is come, he realizes that it is the voice of God Himself that is in his heart, making him cry: “Abba Father.” Then at last he knows that he is the son of a great king, and that all his Father has is his for the using, whether it be health, or supply, or opportunity, or beauty, or joy, or any other of the thoughts of God.
When we recognize and accept God as our father and allow ourselves to be guided, controlled and directed by our heavenly father, we claim our inheritance as children of God. Then if we follow the will of our heavenly father and are obedient and steadfast in our words, thoughts sand deeds, we mature spiritually and become full heirs of the love, power and grace of God. This is a process, not an event. Just as we are born helpless and ignorant, then grow into adults, so spiritually must we grow learn and mature to become fully developed spirits. Then we will have dominion over all of creation and can fill our garden with all that God has to offer.
