Reclaim your inheritance

Imagine you were heir to something great.  Maybe you are of royal blood, or maybe you are heir to a fortune.  Your family is attacked and killed.  You were kidnapped, and thought to be dead.  Years later you emerge.  What happens?  Well, if this happened to you while you were young, maybe nothing.  You haven't been fuming over what you had lost, because you don't know any better.  You had been living under a lie, you were accustomed to captivity, and freedom affords you little more, because you never knew there was more.

If this happened when you were a bit older, and you had an idea of what you had come from, maybe there was some anger and a sense of entitlement, but all these years later, what could you do?  Yes, maybe at one time it would have been yours.  And, yes, maybe you still carry the name.  But it's been so many years.  Things are different now.  All you see is obstacles, and no real way to reclaim what should have been yours.

That's your perspective.  What if you were the ones now controlling the fortune.  What would their perspective be when they hear that you are not dead?  They went to a lot of trouble to capture your birthright.  Over the years they have done what they've wanted to with your inheritance.  They've made a lot of changes.  They knew your father, and they know that if you are anything like him they don't want you anywhere near your home.  Your very existence threatens them.  To them, your name is enough to be a threat.  They don't see the obstacles you see.  They know that all you have to do is show up to cause a stir. 

So what's the point of this little parable?  Well, you are royalty.  Your Father is the King of kings!  As a child your identity was stripped from you.  You bought into the lie that what you could accomplish in this world was limited to what human hands and minds could do.  You may even have bought into the lie that you had to do it on your own.  As a result, look around you.  Look at everything the devil has gotten control of.  Look at the empty lives around you.  Listen to the music.  Watch the tv and the movies.  Creativity, Music, Business, Purpose...these have all fallen into the wrong hands.  If we would stop believing the lies and JUST SHOW UP, oh, how things would be different.
