Over the last month, I've been part of a tribe of people moving from children who have entered the Kingdom to sons who inherit and possess their calling spiritually and practically. They have distinct ministry gifts, yet they prosper in businesses or vocations. Moving from God's child to God's son to an inheritance that belongs to you is a natural Kingdom progression of maturity. Right now, we don't just need to bind enemy activity; we are displacing enemy rule by standing up in our calling. The Father is placing sons in positions of influence to bless nations. It's a season in the spirit to volunteer.

Children are Under
After salvation, we are discipled by being under concepts like stewardship and direction. We can still be under the influence of the spirit of the world system, which is prone to keep us under control, serfdom, and poverty. Except for the influence of Jesus, communism is the natural inclination of political systems around the world. Children are often under the illusion of the promise that others will solve their problems (miracles from heaven). We all go through this stage. We can see the promise, but struggle under all the obstacles. It feels like the desires God wrote in our hearts are always out of reach. The revelation is that entering the Kingdom is stage not a goal. We're on our way to possess the Kingdom, co-labor in it, and rule over it.
Rev. 5:10 – And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.NKJV
Sons are Different
(Gal. 3:23-4:7) – Jesus made us heirs, and the Father is pleased to give us the Kingdom (Lu. 12:32). Heirs aren't stewards; they are owners. It's a different attitude and a different place in the spirit. It positions our hearts to be like our Father. That's why He's the King of kings – we are like Him; created in His image! We can give life to the dead and create (call things that are not as though they were) Rom. 4:17. We even carry a sense of possessing nations because our father Abraham was the father of many nations, and Father God has invited us to ask for them (Ps. 2:8).
Rom. 4:17 – As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed — the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. NIV
The Kingdom is constantly growing from a grain of mustard seed into a mighty tree because the Father multiplies the Kingdom through His sons. We are naturally healthy, vital, creative, industrious, prosperous, and generous. Cups overflow so we can bless others. It's fun!
Keys
Sons know what is in their book or calling because they've seen it. It's not just a positive attitude or emotional hype. Sons are seers and doers; first, they see what's in heaven, and that is the root of their motivation. They know what the Father is doing, and they know their personal role.
Sons can see what the Father is doing and are very intentional about co-laboring with Him. Sons have a plan to get there. We call it a heart plan; knowing your purpose, the goals that flow from that purpose, and the cash flow to implement it (all in writing)! We're intentional, prophetic and practical; priests and kings who bind and loose.
And, they know that receiving the Kingdom isn't an accident; We inherit destinies with work and warfare. We're not surprised that it's through much tribulation (Acts 14:22). Whatever it takes to clarify our calling and bring it to earth – that's what we do.

We all got saved via an experience with Jesus. We came from a very rational, intellectual space disconnected from our hearts and God. Then, we experienced Jesus in a way that doesn't lend itself to explanation or need to. Yet, surprisingly, many believers who start from a very relational, supernatural experience with the Holy Spirit try to revert to an intellectual explanation for how God speaks. There are rational reasons for spirituality; we are just adding Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) to IQ, EQ (Emotional Intelligence), PQ (Political Intelligence), AQ (Adoptive Intelligence), and ZQ (Visionary Intelligence).

We all want to ask the Lord for revelation, understanding, provisions, and physical manifestations. But most of us have had an experience with suffering that made God feel distant or moral failures that made us feel distant. Those experiences left our hearts with a conclusion, God has abandoned me, and I'm on my own. The religious spirit enters at this stage and invites us into his orphanage to help cement the stronghold. We're supposed to serve a God who is distant. Others hear, have seer gifts, prophecy, and experience Father's fellowship, but I don't.

We are accustomed to asking for the presence of the Holy Spirit in meetings. We can feel His moving and hear the prophetic themes He brings. The age of Kingdom adds another dimension. Father requests the honor of our presence in the Courts and Council of Heaven. Entrepreneurial sonship has a kingly side on earth and a priestly function in Heaven.
